and calling on congress to act. daca was initiated after congress rejected the same proposal in legislative form. in other words, president obama didn't just suspend federal law, but implemented a policy congress husbaad rejected. there's a misconspception is a shield to immigration. they apply visas to 800,000 individuals are not able to work. they won't become a priority now. the priorities remain the same. criminals, security threats, and those who repeatedly violate our immigration laws. the main effect of today's announcement is that work permits and other government benefits are being gradually phased out. rather than leave daca recipients and the men and women of immigration enforcement in confusing limbo while the program was challenged by states in the same court that struck down another of the previous administration's unlawful orders last year. president obama is laying out a 24 -- sorry president trump. no permits will be expiring for another six months and permits will remain active for up to two full y

it's the role of congress. interestingly, the folks you've heard on other side of the issue said it's our job, it's what we should be doing and yet, we haven't done it for 16 yea years. who in their right mind thinks that congress will do their job unless they're forced to do their job. and what we previously passed will expire. i don't believe it's to do with the seven wars we were involved with currently. if we would force them to expire we would have a debate. for those who say that congress should use their authority and they don't believe that unless they're going to vote that way. what will happen is the continuation of the same. if we abdicate that role let the president do whatever he wants. it's worse than that. lets say we were to vote for my resolution, do you think in any of the wars would end? no, they believe that the president has unlimited authority. called article 2 authority for war. there is some authority given to the president, tremendous amount of authority to execute the war, but not to i

it's congress' job to do that. we would like to have confidence that congress will actually do their job. we want to have laws that address these problems. but it's congress' job to legislate, not the president's. i think he is giving congress the ability to do their job. the goal here is that congress actually fixes the problem. congress has six months, which is a pretty long time to get something done. >> after about the 12th example, you get the distinct feeling that she's trying to deflect the attention to congress and their role in this. welcome back to our broad cast. that was white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders today, making it clear the administration expects, as you may have heard there, congress to figure out a solution to daca. the president preemted the official notice tweeting, congress, get ready to do your job. a week from tonight, billions more for hurricane irma. a new budget, a new debt limit, tax reform, infrastructure, maybe even another shot at repeal and replace. all this in a m

i was part of the congress at that time and was part of the congress that passed the 2001 authorization for the use of military force. that was targeted towards afghanistan. and i was part of the congress that when we took up the 2002 authorization for use of military force against iraq, and i voted against that authorization. mr. president, it's now been 14 years after the u.s. invasion and -- of iraq and the end of the saddam hussein regime, and yet, mr. president, we still have on the -- we still have the authority for the use of military force against iraq and it's still being used. it's time for that authorization to end. so i take this time to support senator paul's efforts to put a termination date on the 2002 awth radification and put -- authorization and a termination date on 2001. we wanted our country to hold those responsible in afghanistan for the attack against america. that authorization is now 16 years old. let me read for my colleagues exactly what authorization said -- what we passed 16 years ago. that the president is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate fo

the ball is now in congress's court. they have six months to come up with a legislative plan b for those 800,000 people brought here as children. our reporters and analysts are covering all angles of this story. let us start with nbc's kristen welker, live at the white house in that press briefing. kristen. sarah huckabee sanders said that this was something the president ran on, also, when asked if he has faith on whether congress will actually act on this, and get something done, she said, it's not about faith, it's about the fact that the american public voted them into office so they would get something done. give me more. >> that's right, katy. that was effectively the theme of this briefing, sarah huckabee sanders saying it is up to congress to take action on this very critical issue. she was pressed over and over again on why the president would have the attorney general come out and make this announcement and this decision, which presumably is the presidents. she said, this has to do with the rule of law, and tha

congress. this congress ends in 2018. of the not this year. back to you. david: i know, mcconnell is the hard sell. adam, thank you very much. treasury secretary steve mnuchin not mincing words at all on sunday about cutting taxes regardless what the cb or anybody else in congress say about tax cuts adding to the deficit. take a listen. >> we believe in dynamic scoring and under our growth models at the treasury, this will pay for itself. and again we may not get full credit for that. there may be short-term impacts on the deficit, but we're very, we want to be very careful in paying for this with growth but we also need to boost the economy. we need tax cuts and tax reform now. david: i don't know, if you can hear, grover norquist, president of americans for tax reform. he is saying yeah. he is taking on pencil pushers, people at cbo. maybe mitch mcconnell, the people who don't believe in the dynamic effect of tax cuts to change the economy. the pencil pushers i think will lose to steve mnuchi

yet there has been no vote in congress. we have problems here at home and they are costing trillions of dollars and are unauthorized. we have not voted on them. let's pay attention to some of the problems we have here at home, we have $150 billion tab for damage in texas, even yet we continue with unauthorized, unconstitutionally undeclared war.e' i think it is time to think about the problems we have here at home and about the 20 trillion-dollar debt that we've got. but still we have this wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth was if congress didn't do its job, but if we allow that these authorization of force is to expire and we didn't get another one. that's abdicating the constitutional duty. the trick is to do what is in w your constitutional duty. it's not to say the other congressmen won't do with theirr job is, so i'm not going to do my job. our job is to enforce and execute the constitution.he the constitution says congress shall declare a war it doesn't say the president can go to war anytime and anywhere around

congress, congress, congress, term limits and force the old adage of compromise. it makes me sick to hear left and right, we are americans, i'm a moderate, the majority of americans are in the middle and not on one floor and the other. host: stick around for our 9:00 hour when we will be getting into some of the issues you bring up, the economic impact of the dreamer population. how many there are and where they live. we will be joined by doris meissner of the migration policy institute to talk about a lot of those issues. bob cusack? guest: you mention deportation. at one point, groups on the left were criticizing president obama and called him the deep order in chief. deporter inr -- chielf. -- chief. democrats had control in 2009 and 2010 but they were afraid of pushing reform. host: michigan, an independent, sue. caller: my question is -- i have not heard much about the democratic, i think his name is menendez, his trial, harry reid is implicated. can you tell me how that will affect congress? guest: great question, the menendez trial i believe starts tomorrow

a look now at what else congress will be up to when they return next week. >> congress returns from august recess on september 5. over the next hour, we will discuss four key issues that the house and senate plan to take up this fall, including federal spending, raising the debt ceiling, and rewriting the tax code, as well as continuing work on health care legislation. we will take a look back at some of the past hearings and talk with a reporter to get an update on the fall congressional agenda. funding for the federal government expires on september 30, so congress must pass a federal spending bill to keep the government open and avoid a shutdown. the house passed four of its 12 appropriations bills in a spending package. here are the opening remarks of the floor debate from the house appropriations committee chair and ranking member. >> mr. chairman, i rise today to present an amendment to hr 3219, the make america secure appropriations act. this legislative package revise critical appropriation for nafta security, including the department of defense, the department of veterans affairs,

the president putting the ball in congress's court. >> i have a love for these people and hopefully congress will be able to help them and do it properly. we have to do something. >> protests erupting immediately after the announcement, large crowd protesting and chanting outside the white house and in denver hundreds of students walked out of class and hit the streets and crowds with signed protests in trump tower in new york city, 30 people in handcuffs. democrats including nancy pelosi ripped the move as cruel, shameful and heartless. sarah huckabee sanders firing back. >> the most heartless thing i have seen all day, democrats like nancy pelosi are using this decision for fundraising when the president is trying to fix the situation, politicizing an issue instead of doing their job. if they spend less time fundraising and more time focusing on solutions we would not be in this in the first place. >> reporter: a new protest at trump tower scheduled for saturday, 11,000 people plan to be there. heather: all congress has to do is do their job now and it will work out. heather: tom cotton sa

and punted the issue to congress. here is attorney general jeff sessions earlier today. >> i am here today to announce that the program known as daca that was originated under the obama administration is being rescinded. the department of justice advised the president and the department of homeland security that the department of homeland security should begin an orderly, lawful wind-down, including the cancelation of the memo that authorized this program. this will enable the department of homeland security to conduct an orderly change and fulfill the desire of this administration to create a time period for congress to act should it so choose. >> as protesters took to the street, president obama weighed in on facebook, writing, let's be clear. the action taken today is not required legally. it's a political decision and a moral question. whatever concerns or complaints americans may have about immigration in general, we shouldn't threaten the future of this group of young people who are here through no fault of thei

congress -- this is what i think congress should do. they should have a very simple bill. a very simple vote on this. and make it very clear without putting in all the other crap that congress loves to put in bills to screw things up or to make it where it doesn't actually get to the president. and the president said, you've got six months to do it, do your job in the next six months and i think that's the right play for the president. it shows compassion to these individuals. >> right. >> and it doesn't keep them wondering what's going to happen in their future. >> will he sign it? >> i'm only laughing because here's one thing that i know with almost certainty is that nothing simple passes congress these days. no matter the -- >> right. we can agree on that. >> i agree -- >> they're terrible at their job. >> in fact, i love everything that ben is saying. i hope that he is as optimistic this week. >> kumbaya. >> hopefully we can get this done. >> first things first. the president's words tomorrow, i say it all the time, taken literally and take him seriously including on t

i want congress to pass daca. he says i want to pawn it off on you and have you make decision about something i did not have the cur2507b8g maage to make a n myself. >> this is not about race. this is simply about the rule of law. this was simply an illegal program. >> it was not illegal. it has not been tested in court. it's not illegal. >> okay. we can debate that. >> it's not debate. if it has not been tested in court, it's illegal. >> there are some people, minds, legal minds saying it didn't have legal standing and that was the opinion of the attorney general, jeff sessions, the opinion he gave to the president. but his actions today. you got to look at the actions for a second. the president ended the daca program today, as we know it. it's gone. i don't care what the tweets say. >> he said six months. >> there is no six months, don. let me explain what happened. as of today there are no new apls by the federal government being accepted by daca applicants. it's closed off. it's done. there's 33,000 applicati

finally i want to get you on one more thing. >> did you know that congress -- we do know that congress has to have a bipartisan solution, and that's okay for me if the president asking them to pass foreign reforms that he ran on and that's what the american people want. >> when you look at the incarceration rates, people talk so much about public safety, and that's something we have been reporting on today, the immigrant mails incarceration, far more than native born males. do you think it's important for the president and you and your colleagues to acknowledge that there are more minorities incarcerated than the rest of the population? >> the law should be applied equally across the board and there are laws that are part of this land. i think we need to stop segmenting groups, saying this group does it better than this group. we're all americans and we need to apply the laws equally to all americans. that's what the constitution says and that's what the president's trying to enforce. >>> up next, we turn to a beat solution, the president had a stern warning for congress about what to

the bottom line is, the congress must act. it would be shameful for the republicans no the to act on this. these people deserve a protection. >> he gave them a six-month deadline and extended it perhaps indefinitely. democrats will play a big role. if anything is going to pass congress in the next six months, democrats may be the majority of those votes for the protection of dreamers. how far do you think the democrats should be willing to go? do you think that they should be willing to make a compromise on border security if it includes any funding for the president's border wall? >> no. i think there was -- congressman crowley was on yesterday. and he noted if they come with a deal trying to tie saving the dreamers with border wall for instance, we should call the fbi. they're being held hostage. i agree with that. i think that there is a humane and practical way where folks can go about this without having to tie it to this border wall that everyone thinks is ridiculous, mind you, including some house republicans. this is t

he then usurped the authority and power of congress, now giving congress to deal with that issue. they have an additional six months. is this an issue where constitutionally, when we talk about coequal branches of government and enumerated powers, isn't this something that must be done if we want the rule of law to work in this country? >> sure. i thought president trump, i know he worked on this for several weeks. he was trying to find a way to honor the constitution and have compassion. i think he came up with a solution that was totally legitimate. clearly it's illegal but there's a practical reality. something like 700 or 690,000 people in the system. about 70,000 still being processed. we are not going to cut them off. the compassion will not allow us to cut them off but that means congress in the next six months has to do his job. i think everybody who's upset she called their cemetery and house number and get them to pass the application of daca into loss we can both have -- i think it's totally phony for liberals to complain about president trump with kept his wt over back

it gives congress only enumerated powers. since congress has no power to infringe free speech, there is no reason to fear it would endanger free speech. dangerous because people might assume if the right was not written down, it was not protected. the framers believed our rights are so important that they come from god and not government and to try to reduce things to a single list would be folly. in the face of the objections from three federal list, madison changed his mind. he was a practical politician. he almost lost a house election in virginia and and he came to support the adoption of additional amendments to prevent further abuse of powers. but we are now going to do in this final section, we have been seeing these rare, priceless, earliest drafts of the constitution went by the pennsylvania historical society. we are now going to see the first public printings of the bill of rights. we will see how madison's original list of 19 amendments were whittled down to 10. let's go see those now. we're about to see the first

he wants congress to act. but i think it's important, we look through the president's eyes at the two scenarios he faced. first of all, we know the counterpart to daca, dapa, was rescinded by a court, temporarily en joined. the president knew that daca was going to go down the same path. that means immediately it would have been en joined, daca would no longer exist. or you could give it six months, push congress, say we need a solution on behalf of these kids, but we also need a solution that's constitutional. he opted for the lawful, compassionate solution. the other would have been an unacceptable result. >> well, i mean, he kicked the can back to congress. >> well, that's where it belongs. we have separation of powers. it's within congress' article 1 powers to negotiate something on behalf of these kids. and on behalf of the american people. and that's where it needs to be. >> but he also gave the impression last night via twitter, of course, that if congress did not act, he would again step in, perhaps. c

now he says congress should act. we had to overturn what president obama did because it wasn't constitutional or lega legal -- thank you. congress doesn't act, he will do that. constitutional and legal as he may consider it to be. as i turn over to our special guest here and i am so pleased that so many members of the house and senate are here, let me just say this. president trump is the first president in 30 years -- but let's go back to reagan or further. president reagan, not only acted but he acted after congress acted and said congress didn't go far enough so he and president george herbert walker bush did the family fairness agenda to do more than congress did. president clinton followed suit, president george w. bush was a great immigration president and we know that president obama was a great leader, especially concerned about our dreamers. this is the first president in modern times in the lives of these dreamers who has been anti- immigration, rejecting the idea that immigration is the lifeblood of our co

the least congress does the better off it does for the middle class. everything they do is against us. on the infrastructure they'll g- >> will break away from this recorded program to take you

so congress has to address this. i'm encouraged that i see members of congress and the senate saying that they're going to address this. but i think a lot of folks are disappointed that it hasn't been addressed already by the folks we elected and sent to washington. >> "the new york times" is reporting president trump had been looking for a way out of daca, the daca dilemma. first he promised to deport those impacted. then he said he would treat them with heart. do you think what he did today was what he really wanted to do, peter? >> you know, as on many policy issues, my strong suspicion is donald trump doesn't actually know the details here very much at all. and would be hard-pressed. this is why i think he can't offer any leadership towards congress, because just as on health care, he doesn't understand the issue well enough, i think, in fact to chart a path forward. congress could have acted anyway, right? there's nothing stopping congress from passing comprehensive immigration reform, for instance, and actually

what happens next is significantly in congress' hands. this is critically important and almost completely overlooked. if the president chooses not to certify iranian compliance, that does not mean the united states is withdrawing from the jcpoa. withdraw from the agreement is governed by the terms of the jcpoa. the corker-cardin law governs the relationship between the congress. if the president can't certify, it would signal one or more of the following messages to congress. either the administration believes iran is in violation of the deal. or the lifting of sanctions against iran is not appropriate and proportional to the regime's behavior. or the lifting of sanctions is not in the u.s. national security interest. under the law, congress then has 60 days to consider whether to reimpose sanctions on iran. during that time, congress could take the opportunity to debate iran's support for terrorism, its past nuclear activity, and its massive human rights violations. all of which are called for in the corker-cardin. congress could debate

does congress want this football that they described as being punted? >> they have so much to do and you'll read this is another thing.th but sometimes when you have a lot of legislative things you need to do maybe you can trade if you give me this all give you that. we haven't seen that trading in recent years that's been successful. they've tried it was certainly a even if some supporters are saying why his truck backing down and yielding to congress? you should just and it. so he could get some backlash. >> to think that's why jeff sessions is making that announcement? >> it's within his jurisdiction. trump was asked about it last week and the announcement was forthcoming remember, the relationship between jeff sessions and trump has been strained at times over his decision to recuse himself. i think it's a normal thing to yield to the cabinet a secretary who has jurisdiction over this issue. >> the attorney general will not be taking questions today does that surprise you? >> no, they want to control thea message and say what they want. to say. it's

it is in the hands of congress. congress is the one that makes immigration law. congress has the power to do something about it. yes, democrats are in the minority, but you have republican leaders who have been supportive of some form of protections of dreamers. if folks are floating the idea that protections for dreamers, daca would be linked to money for the border wall, if that happened, would you vote against protections for dreamers? >> i think if the president or the republican party linked this to the border wall, we should call the fbi. it's taking. they will be taking these young people in their lives as hostages to build a wall, a $40 billion wall that does nothing for the economy of the united states and doesn't make us any safer. >> you would get protections, legal by law protections. >> it is morally a waste of money of the taxpayer money. $40 billion. we should not hold them hostage. deal with this issue on merits alone. that's what congress needs to do. deal with this on the merits alone, that is these 850 lives. >> congressman, i appreciate your t

congress will act. congress hasn't acted since '86. >> let's say, as conservatives we think it's a good idea to actually pass laws. >> yeah. >> the way james madison and hamilton thought you were supposed to pass laws. >> this is the problem. >> and if a president says an executive order is temporary, make it permanent or get it off the books. on substance, we understand. >> congress was complicit. >> he bungled this horribly. >> like many things, declaring war and things, congress doesn't want to make that decision. give it to the president and let him do that, we'll be against it but won't do anything about it. trump put it back in their court. but then he seemed to reverse himself -- >> four times. >> because -- >> he's got to turn the tv off. >> as if he didn't know what the implications of the decision would mean. it's important to understand, giving d.r.e.a.m.ers legal status permanently is not amnesty. the reason i say that, d.r.e.a.m.ers didn't break the law. and amnesty applies to people who re

the pressure on congress to do something. because that's basically lets them say, you know, if they can't actually figure out a legislative way to help these kids, then trump will just -- it doesn't matter. >> daniel, we showed you that president's trump's sweet last night where some shows a slight change in his position. that he's going to revisit this if congress does not act. and that came after this report. i'll put it up on the screen. it came earlier in the day from the "the new york times." said, as late as one hour before the decision was to be announced administration officials privately expressed concern that mr. trump might not fully grasp the details of the steps he was about to take, and when he discovered their full impact would change his mind. again that is t"the new york times" reports. i'm curious, is washington getting used to operating this way on decisions that impact so many people, shoot first and ask questions later so to speak? >> i don't think washington will ever get used to how president trump acts

that solution must come from congress. we are told there will be a decision by the white house on dreamers, as they are called, these children brought here. we are going to hear that decision by tuesday. josh, do you believe the president will hand this over to congress? >> i don't know. the early reports were that the president is going to take a tough line on the daca issue, contrary to what he said and contrary to he loves the dreamers. the pushback from congress has been unusually strong in this case. it is a battle between the president's political benefit and his ideology here. there's a real issue here. he hates these 800,000 people and takes away their status and identifies them for deportation. that could have political implications. at the same time, because of the sort of the president's commitment to the ideology of being tough on immigration, there's no way to predict which way this will come out. i think this is an example where, you know, the president is genuinely conflicted. he's not only conflicted intern

it means we are properly enforcing our laws as congress has passed them. it is with these principle and duties in mind and in light of imminent litigation that we reviewed the obama administration's daca policy. our collective wisdom is that the policy is vulnerable to the same legal and constitutional challenges that the courts recognized with respect to the daca program. which was enjoined in a decision that was affirmed by the fifth circuit court of appeals. the fifth circuit concluded that daca had not been implemented in a fashion that allowed sufficient discretion and that doc aca was foreclosed by congress's careful plan. in other words the immigration law that congress passed foreclosed this possibility of daca. in other words it was inconsistent with the constitution's separation of powers. that decision was affirmed by the supreme court on an equally undivided basis. if we were to keep the obama administration's executive amnesty policy, the likeliest outcome is that it would too, be enjoined just as was daca. the department of justice has advise

and calling on congress to act. daca was initiated after congress he can pliftly rejected the same proposal -- explicitly rejected the same proposal in legislative form. in other words, president obama didn't just suspend federal law but implemented a policy congress had explicitly rejected. there's a misconception that daca primarily serves as a shield from deportation. this is misleading. daca grants work authorization to nearly 800,000 individuals who are not legally authorized to work. daca recipients whose average sage in their 20's were not in an enforcement priority before and they certaintyly won't become a priority now. the priorities remain the same. criminals, security threats and those who repeatedly violate our immigration laws. the main effect of today's announcement is that work permits and other government benefits are being gradually phased out. but rather than leave daca recipients and men of women of immigration enforcement in confusing limbo while the daca program was challenged by states in the

and congress, who now hold your fate in their hands? >> i just want to say that immigrant rights activism is what got daca and that activism will be stronger than ever after. everyone at home can say that the law is the law, but, to trump and everyone in congress, the law is not justice. and it's time to act. >> we'll follow your sfotories. the we appreciate it you sharing them with us. see what happens over the next six months, thanks so much for  being with us. >> thank you. >> chris? >> all right. there's going to be political intrigue in the air. cnn has copy of hillary clinton's new book. she talks about russian meddling in the election. what she thinks president obama should have done. next. stay with me, mr. parker. when a critical patient is far from the hospital, the hospital must come to the patient. stay with me, mr. parker. the at&t network is helping first responders connect with medical teams in near real time... stay with me, mr. parker. ...saving time when it matters most. stay with me, mrs. parker. that's the power of

on the congress. and after that was over when it came time for the bicentennial 1989 i was asked to come and get a shorter version of the speech i gave at that gathering at the library of congress. i imagine they were afraid i would get runaway with my excitement and go on forever. but it was a very high compliment in honor and i work extremely hard on preparing that speech. one of the people you talked about their head been a member of congress after he left the presidency. what did you think was so appealing. he had been a diplomat he had been a senator and have been president of the united states. after he left the presidency he was asked if you would make any chance a to run for congress and he said certainly. so he went back and served in congress. until his death. and he died on the floor of the congress. died in what is now statuary hall. he died in harnesses they said then. and he didn't have to do that. he didn't have to be a congressman as he was. but he have a mission not only to represent

and will reside in congress. stuart: donald trump could not continue daca because it is unconstitutional and courts would strike it down, have to say go back to congress, fix this thing and this is what he has done. >> this is what is appropriate and strikes me with moral questions and legal questions. stuart: we are seeing demonstrations, that is philadelphia, does look like a major demonstration, they have one going. back to jeff flock doing extraordinary stuff in houston, still there. why are you still looking at houses under a lot of water? jeff: i wanted to check couple that had stayed in that house over there. turn us around, they had vowed to stay, around the captain here, that house right there, not a very good captain, we are spinning around. at any rate, i should work on my skills. they were vowing to stay but we checked and they are gone. this neighborhood is pretty much cleaned out. water levels slowly starting to come down. this is where the reservoirs are, it will be slow to come down but hard to be

it will be voted on soon in congress. he looks to continue to make his promise -- keeping promise to the american people. >> next to the financial times. tax reform, where do you think they're making room to make -- work with democrats. >> to be clear on nuance, 250 numbers. 250 individual meetings, there were 250 sometimes in group settings. the feedback we have received from many democrats is in the interest -- they recognize the corporate rates are too high. they recognize the corporate tax system is unfair. they recognize it is causing companies to leave our shores and so i think there is opportunity there. i think typically they have expressed a willingness as well to lower individual rates. on the lower income, middle income, i think they're reluctant to lower rates on higher income. i think they have also expressed reforme to marry tax with infrastructure. forink that is conversation them to the need to have within their conference and don't have much to add to that you that is commentary we have received from them

congress right now? >> we can always be hopeful. >> do you think it's realistic that within six months you could get comprehensive immigration reform? >> it's going to be hard enough to get with this quid pro quo. >> let alone the other undocumented living in the united states living very peacefully. >> peacefully, employed in our economy and paying taxes. keep in mind none of the dacas can receive benefits. they can't receive welfare. that's part of the deal. so we have a situation here that's totally unnecessary, extremely harmful to the economy, obviously harmful to the families, many of them married who now have children of their own, who are citizens. >> while i have you on a totally different subject, you're a member of the armed services committee. i know you'll be briefed tomorrow on this escalating tension with north korea right now, the nuclear tension, the possibility they could be launching another intercontinental ballistic missile. what do you want to hear from the president of the united s

congress has yet to accomplish anything this year. republican leaders have spent more time fighting and insulting the people's president than anything that they could even imagine doing in the national interests and for the american people. during the august recess, speaker ryan actually repeatedly attacked president trump, begging the president not to end daca, attacking the president's entirely appropriate and correct pardon of sheriff arpaio, and also, claiming that the president messed up in his charlottesville response. by god, they're fools! even though even the left ultimately joined president trump acknowledging he is on the right side of history in his statements following charlottesville, acknowledging the evil of the leftist forces of antifa, as well as evil of white supremacists. as for senator mcconnell, he blamed the president's excessive expectations for the majority leader's failures in the senate. and he publicly questioned whether the president can salvage his presidency. don't worry, majority leader, the president i

look, congress, it's hard to get anything passed in congress. there is a lot of sympathy for these group of immigrants. more than any other group of undocumented immigrants. you saw that with paul ryan's you know talk earlier today on the radio. but getting anything through this congress has been difficult. >> getting them to agree on what the actual weather is is difficult. franco stay with us please. indira thank you for staying with us and it's always a pleasure. coming up -- one senator calls the president poorly informed and reminds his colleagues we answer to the american people. that senator, republican john mccain. more on that when "the 11th hour" continues. how's your cafe au lait? oh, it's actually... sfx: (short balloon squeal) it's ver... sfx: (balloon squeals) ok can we... sfx: (balloon squeals) goodbye! oof, that milk in your coffee was messing with you, wasn't it? try lactaid, it's real milk, without that annoying lactose. good right? yeah. lactaid. the milk that doesn't mess with you. >>> let's trust each other. let's return to

do your job, congress. let's talk about it with simon rosenberg, president and founder of the new democrat network and former clinton campaign adviser and vince colinaise, editorial director for the daily column. always good to see you. vince, i'm going to start with you. sarah was very strong on that point today. she said it several times, congress needs to step up and do its job. the president has handed them yet something else to do. can they get it done? >> well, i think so. especially now democrats will be forced to come to the table. this has now become a litmus test for democratic party. just look how we've spent the hours since we found out that this was even a possibility. democrats everywhere have been pulling the fire alarms that the president of the united states is ending daca. but understand that even leading up to this we all were under the understanding that he was going to use this as leverage ultimately to get a legislative version of daca passed through congress and some of the concession

by the congress. if you worry about these kids, you should vote for the d.r.e.a.m. act because it gives them what they, i think, deserve, a new life in their home country. to those in the republican party who vote no, i respect it. i respect your decision but let's have a healthy debate. make the case that these kids don't belong here. because i'm going to make the case they do. and we're all going to vote. so from a republican party point of view, this is a defining moment. we need to create a step, a process forward to fix a broken immigration system, starting with the d.r.e.a.m. act kids, i think, is a good down payment on what will eventually be a comprehensive solution to a broken immigration system to the president. you have a chance to show the nation as the president of all of us where your heart's at. you have a chance as the leader of the republican party to do two things. say that we are the party of constitutional process, that we believe in doing it right, but right means taking care of t

if congress feels compelled toto act, will start a trend in congress. act. >> sean: i've got to go. >> president, he's waiting with pen in hand. repealing and replacing obamacare, he is ready. a businessman. he's accustomed to doing many big things in short order. he doesn't understand why the swamp and special interests move at a different pace. >> sean: listen, i don't get it either. i don't live in their world of vacations every other week in the fine senate dining room in their workout rooms. all right, i will keep you out of it. you work in the white house and kellyanne, great to see you as always. when we come back, the house intel committee has subpoenaed the fbi for information about the fake news russian dossier. is cnn going to cover that? dana rohrabacher is next. he met with julian assange. sara carter is here as we continue.

i think that every president wants to see a clean bill submitted to congress and a clean bill pass congress when it comes to disaster relief. i think that the reality is there are frequently opportunities to attach things to those mandatory funding bills that are controversial sometimes. i think the debt limit would be controversial, but it's probably the right thing to do knowing that they both have to happen about the same time frame. >> let me just jump in. i have a km of questions i want to get to. this was in the "washington post" today about the president's new chief of staff john kelly. trump chafs at some of the retired marine corps generals access to restrict to him. they run counter to trump's love of spant night and brashness. the church lady because they consider him strict and morally superior. then president trump tweeted out his support of john kelly. what do you make of this? what are you hearing about their relationship? >> well, first of all, i think general kelly is doing a very good job to help organize the white house and give support to president trump the way he needs

congress should step in. with that, i will wrap up here and i look forward to the q and a. thank you again for the imitation. [applause] >> thank you, congresswoman murphy. she has agreed to take a few questions. again, despite this being herr first day back from recess and a very full agenda. i will open the floor in a minute and let you think of a couple of questions. in the meantime if i could ask you, stephanie, there are -- congress has been quite active on the north korea issue passing a lot of arming the administration whether it's republican or democrat with the tools to move forward in terms of sanctioning. in your discussion i found a thoughtful discussion on north korea you mentioned that part of his they have to recognize that their survival comes from negotiation and at some sort of negation settlements. i think the question then is from your perspective and your colleagues what is -- what does the congress he in terms of that side of the equation? in terms of this question of negotiation and som

and now it is up to congress. the president is offering no suggested legislation that he may sign, however he did offer this new tweet tonight. just moments ago he tweeted congress has six months to legalize daca, something the obama administration was not able to do. if they can't, i'll revisit this issue. let's talk to the packagnel, ane tweet from the president, is there any clarity from the white house what he means by revisiting the issue? because it seems at odds. >> it is also at odds with the attorney general saying they were rescinding that program, so far no clarity from the white house on what the president may have been talking about. and frankly, anderson, that is probably cold comfort to the nearly 800,000 people who could be impacted by this challenge, holding out the possibility that maybe the president could make changes down the line, that maybe congress will get its act together and step up and pass an immigration bill. look there is a lot of skepticism across the united states for very good rea

maybe that will get congress to act. but it's going to be an interesting six months, and i, by the way, have no sympathy for the additional work for congress. maybe the senate should work more than two days a week for the rest of 2017. >> so, you can take that up with members of congress and i don't know if they'd agree with you or not but i think they only have so many more legislative days to go. so ken, i wanted to hear from you. and then andre, to you, with a much different perspective to this whole thing. how do you feel? >> so, i want to be very clear about what you just heard. everything you heard about daca being illegal is wrong. >> no, it's blatantly illegal. >> this decision by president trump was a political decision and it's a morally bankrupt one. president after president for over four decades have used what's called prosecutorial discretion to determine who is a priority for removal and who is not. and that is exactly what the daca program is. so you hear a lot of words from this other commentator about r

representation in congress. originally, it says there can be no more than one representative for every 40,000 people in the house. now it is less. to number was changed 30,000. the other delegates unanimously agreed. online, you will see the very first amendment to the constitution that was proposed by not adopted in what became the bill of rights said there should be one representative in congress for every 30,000 people. bethat ipass, there would 4000 congress people today. this is the framers final to appoint allow inferior officers without the senate's approval. that is the source of the presidents power. without that, it would be very hard for presidents to get anyone appointed. another detail, a call for unity. very important on constitutional day. ben franklin, on the last day of the convention, encourages unanimous support of the constitution. he proposes the final text that says by the unanimous consent of the u.s. three delegates present refused to sign. you can see them by going upstairs. in the back

congress needs to act. this is a role for congress. that's one thing we can talk about. we need to secure our borders but we also have to have an immigration system that works. and if i'm correct about what the president's action will take, he will give congress six months to act and congress needs to do their job and solve the problem. >> some talk of the white house of using daca as a lever to get what the president wants on immigration reform. that would be, for example, trading some legislation on daca for funding for a border wall. so we'll see where all of this goes. >> you touched a bit, john on how it might play out in the republican party. expand a bit there. >> there are some dire predictions that are floating around out there today. there are some people who told me they believe this is going to ignite a civil war in the republican party pointing to what happened with eric cantor and dave brant taking his seat in 2013. that might happen again and deepen the split that exists between the various factions in the republican party, might even lead to the republica
