marc liverman is here in new york. marc, good morning. >> good morning. so far we haven't heard from the president on this plan. either way, the house and mr. trump will have to move quick with just over a day and a half before friday's midnight deadline. with just 48 hours to go before a partial government shutdown, the senate approved a short-term spending bill late wednesday night. >> all in favor say aye. >> aye. >> those opposed, no. the ayes appear to have it. the ayes do have it, the motion is agreed to. >> later the house will vote opt gill which will keep the government open until february. if it passes there, it will go for the president's signe. he hasn't publicly weighed in on the plan which will not have the $5 billion he's asked for to build the bordered wall. it would fund border security at its current level of $1.3 billion. >> i'm sorry that my democratic colleagues couldn't put the partisanship aside and show the same good faith flexibility that the president has shown in order to provide the resources our nation needs to secure the inte

york and 3 in new jersey. complaints about the cap did play into the victories. this is something that democrats will want to address in the new year congressman of new jersey will be leading that charge he sits on the tax writing committee in the house and he told cnbc this law targets middle class citizens in my state, stealing the state and local tax deductions to pay off corporate executives we must make the tax code work for all americans and stop targeting blue states. however, not all democrats agree with him the big criticism here is that getting rid of the caps is really expensive and mainly benefits wealthy households. the tax policy center estimate that's out of the top households, nearly half of them would see their taxes go down. the average cut would be about $5500. the cost to the government, about $621 billion over a decade it's going to be really hard for democrats to justify that cost after they slammed republicans blowing up the deficit with the tax law to begin with. >> i understand that th

you have to take yourself back to new york in the 1930s. there had just been a big gang war in which the black gangs of harlem had been wiped out or subjugated to a coalition of various white ethnic gangs. harlem matter because it was the most lucrative territory in the country for organized crime. also because of members game. it was played and also employed between 10 and 20,000 whose job it was running numbers. they were dominant new york and there was cry from civic reformers and newspapers it was time to get serious about the mob and to try and investigate. the problem was that the district attorney in new york at the time, a man named dodge, was in the pocket of the mob and had no intentions of doing any kind of investigation. so, there came the runaway grand jury. the grandeur that so we don't want anyone else in the office. we want a special prosecutor to investigate organized crime and dodge eventually gave in. and the special prosecutor was finally appointed was thomas dewey. he later ran for president. that is how he originally c

she was a great and colorful and wonderful man, opener of the new york -- she went to new york cuban's games, and he ended up taking a deal where he testified against hines. now, the reason i mention is, the reason himes is in the book and pompez and others are, is that -- what i said before, when eunice was simply involved in prosecuting white gangsters, harlem loved her. when dewey turned his attention -- this is after he was darn -- -- was da to numbers game/was doing something wrong and that was partly because pompez was been lawyer and said that 10,000 or 20,000 harlemites were employed there. he was colorful and the only numbers runner, pompez, in the -- baseball hall of fame. back over here. just wait one minute for the boom. >> i'm interested in more about your grandmother, how old you were when you knew her or how close you were to her or how often you saw her. your grandfather. a little more family stuff here. >> let me do more family stuff. that's fine. so, my grandmother died when i was in high school, and i really didn't know any of these stories at the time. my grandfathe

arrests in new york city have decreased, and crime has decreased. >> so why do more than 50% of new yorkers support broken windows policing? >> that's a great question. it's that, when you look at the data -- and pew has done the most research on this -- is that people's perception of crime actually doesn't match the reality of crime. >> but the reality of safety in new york was that we went from 2,000 murders a year -- sort of before rudy giuliani came to power, before this broken windows policing came into power -- and then dropped to -- now it's somewhere between 200 and 400 murders a year. >> yeah, but people would say that broken windows was just the popular conversation, that there were actually a host of safety nets and social services that help people. we think about -- the relationship between poverty and crime is so stark. it's actually -- you look at the latest bureau of justice statistics, it shows that white, poor people actually commit violent crime more than latinos or black people. but poverty in and of itself creates the condition for crime. and so, what people would say ab

attorney for the southern district of new york, and tom winter, nbc news investigative reporter. mimi, you have been talking today about why this is so legally significant in terms of what it means for the president. why is it so significant? >> sure. it's significant because essentially before trump is even charged, if he's going to get charged, they have knocked out a defense that he could raise. and he's been raising it on twitter. he and giuliani have been out there. it depends which week we're in. there have been different defenses. first it was they didn't know anything about it. then it was we knew about these payments, but it was this private -- i think giuliani even used the term settling a civil suit or something. >> right. >> so trying to make it sound like it had nothing to do with the campaign. nothing, no big picture here. and now you've got ami saying, no, in addition to cohen -- so you have cohen already, and there are two different payments. but essentially about those two payments, first you have cohen and now you have ami saying this was for the purpose of infl

in new york, this is impossible, right? because there's like this huge flood and river of effluvia that pushes everything down. you drop your pants and they are immediately swept away. i ran back to the tailor and in case something had happened, i hadn't seen, and i explained to him what had happened. he said mournfully, it fit nice, it fit nice. and the word had immediately been cast in the past tense. i knew i was doomed. i rushed outside and looked up and down everywhere for my suit pants. the worst of it was, wasn't just that i knew my suit pants were gone for good, but that immediately, i had been removed into the wrong kind of literature. i was no longer in a scott fitzgerald story. i was in one of those fables set in st. petersburg at the end of the 19th century where heartbroken clerks go up and down the gas-lit streets searching for their lost overcoats and spend the rest of their lives scuttling along the walls in a state of forlorn, permanent loss. that's the story i was in now forever. i finally went up and down

here in new york. i'm brook silva-braga in for anne-marie green. it's day ten of the partial government shutdown. funding for president trump's border wall remains the sticking point as the debate grows over the very definition of a border wall. meanwhile, there's been no real progress toward actually ending the stalemate. democrats say they'll pass legislation to restore the government as soon as they take control of the house, that's on thursday, but without more money or border security, the republican-controlled senate is unlikely to go along. tom hanson has more on this. >>> while people across the country are planning their new year's resolution, there doesn't seem to be any ress lution in the nation's wap to. washington appears to be ready to ring in the new year with a shutdown. ten days in the shutdown, president trump and the democrats remain at odds over funding for a border wall. >> we are not willing to pay $2.5 billion or $5 billion in wasting taxpayer dollars on a ransom note because don

>> what hit me was new york feds, new york state officials -- the state governments, virginia's going to go after him, everybody who sees crime is going -- president trump dropped major hints this morning that he was anticipating something big coming. he's right. just before dawn preponderate launched a preemptive strike in a series of angry tweets, many with typos and misspellings, proving they're his, lashing out at his special counsel. among other things, robert mueller and lying james comey are best friends. throughout his tirade, he attacked john brennan and james clapper, hillary clinton and justice department officials including his own deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. he never gets tired of hillary, does he? >> she's always the foil, the one he goes to. it's a common thing among republicans, by the way. >> when you test that with republican voters, that -- hillary clinton and nancy pelosi are two individuals -- >> two strong powerful women. >> fog machine, when they were afraid trump was going to lose the second debate, they said we're going to unleash the fog machine.

it's career prosecutors in new york. and those career prosecutors have, you know, not as big of names as the ones that trump has made out naming some of mueller's prosecutors really going after them. they are more faceless and does that make it harder at this point to attack the findings of their inquiry? >> and there's one man responsible for those cases going to sdny. who is that? how did those cases end up there? >> well, we think the reason -- we believe that they're there because of deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. he was the one that was in charge of the investigation when the cohen part of it was taken out of mueller, certainly not given to mueller and given to the prosecutors in new york. and for some, that -- looking back on that could be an incredibly powerful, important decision because if mueller had the cohen part of this, would that have sort of undermined the findings of that part of the investigation. my guess is to a lot of people, it would not but this has insulated the cohen stuff from the witch

here's how "the new york times" put it. "one former senior administration official called it a humiliation for mr. trump and his adult children, an emotion the president tries to avoid at all costs." nancy cook of politico standing by to talk to us had this to report. "with ayers out of the picture, trump now faces the challenging task of finding a chief of staff who is both capable of doing the job and, perhaps, more important, willing to step into the west wing's hornet's nest." one person being considered for the job, republican congressman mark meadows is pushing back against this idea that no one wants the job. >> he's got a number of people who'd gladly serve in, you know, in his administration, and so any narrative that would suggest otherwise is just not accurate. >> with us to talk about it tonight, the aforementioned nancy cook. white house reporter for politico. so, nancy, is the president looking for a quality hang or a sycophant, a best friend, or a superb manager of paper flow and personnel? >> i would say all

york, the staying can't get over the sandbar at the entrance to the new york harbor and gives up an attempt to get the navy that's trapped in the harbor and then a few weeks later off of newport rhode island it's looking like there's going to be the battle. that cataclysmic encounter. when a storm, perhaps a hurricane, destroys both fleets and it's on. that's in the summer of 1778 in the summer of 1779 and throughout 1780 there is nothing from the french. what made this complicated is this colonial rebellion had turned into a world war. france was in the war, there are allies of spain was in it as well. this being a world war it's hard for us to understand but in the 1780 the caribbean was where the real money was. they were worth much more to the european powers then united states. so the french and british navies along with some spanish ships spent those years battling out for the sugar islands, the caribbean, and washington despaired that he would ever see the french navy sale up from the caribbean, at one point he says it's like chasm has sprung up between us and the french navy
