welcome, joel. >> thanks brooke. depending on who you ask her relationship with the african-american voters will either be the differentiator that puts her over-the-top or the achilles heel that holds her back. how do you mean? >> here's what i mean. kamala harris's record as a prosecutor as you mentioned is being used to really help her stand out from the field and look, she does have an impressive record. she's a fresh face. she's certainly had a wonderful role out to her campaign but when you really go and look at who her policies really impacted, there's a disproportionate impact to african-american and hispanic folks particularly in the oakland/bay area community. that's a real challenge for her to explain particularly in an era of black lives matter, in an era where we're going back and looking at things over a decade ago. look at what happened to hillary clinton with the crime bill. kamala harris may face a similar challenge. >> you can't just place a mary jay at your rally and think all is good. how does the

>> i'm sorry, brooke. i thought you had called me on here to talk about the maturity level of members of our government, but in terms of this particular issue, it's just -- it's just confounding, just a very strong, surprise. it's a back and forth. i wish we would be able to listen to beth, your coast guard spouse who is on before and pay attention more to what she's saying is let's get people back to work and allow folks to get their paycheck again. that's the important thing on both sides, but certainly the president has the authority to to this and i'm sure john will back me up on that. he runs the defense department and they're the ones that shuttle folks around. this was more than likely an important trip to brussels, because it's prior to the nato min steerials and nato is very important in terms of their contributions to iraq. i'm sure there were members of the house armed services and appropriations committee on that trip as well as possibly foreign affairs going to cairo or egypt, also important.

i remember, brooke. in all seriousness, i was joking that it's above our pay grade, but it is these are really unchartered waters. >> totally. >> dan is right. dan was on the side with this when asking the networks for time for his boss -- i remember covering the bush white house and there were times when he was asking for primetime window for explaining the iraq war, things like that in to it, not at the beginning, but in to it and there was a debate about whether to take it and it was a question about whether it was worth it, whether it was really warranting of primetime discussion. the whole question of fact checking is a real one and there is no easy answer and the -- and the best answer is, brooke, i think what you gave, which is this is our job to fact check. we will be fact checking. >> yes. >> if you're watching one of the networks and you don't feel satisfied, turn on cnn because we have more time than they do to give the fact check and the other thing that's different that you don't usually get

i'm brooke baldwin. thanks for being with me. major developments today on two massive stories dogging the president, the government shutdown and the russia investigation. i can tell you that the president is about to leave capitol hill where he has been meeting with those senate republicans to make this 3:00 p.m. meeting with congressional leaders, including democrats in the white house situation room. both trips really represent his latest attempts to get the government back up and running. it is day 19 of this shutdown and over that period, the mixed messages from the president might help explain why we are still here today. >> we really have to think about the people of our country. this is not a fight i wanted. i didn't want this fight. we have to think about the people of our country. i am proud to shut down the government for border security. >> as the president tries to cut a new funding deal with democrats, he is facing this new bombshell from his campaign that puts his familiar twitter mantra, n

i'm brooke baldwin. thank you for joining me this tuesday. here we are day 32 of the government shutdown and it's the show part of showdown playing out right now. in congress, these two parties will present show votes this week, one in the senate, the other in the house. the dueling bills aimed to reopen the u.s. government and both are set for the same fate. nowhere. since the house proposals will not pass the senate and since the senate plan won't even make it to the house, you have the majority leader mitch mcconnell he will be introducing legislation mirroring the president's suggestion to end the gridlock. it also established three years for dreamers and some asylum seekers, but that is a nonstarter for democrats and in a second you will hear why. remember this, though, as all these bills pass each other like ships in the night, it has been ten days, ten, since the democratic leadership and the president of the united states have talked to each other according to aides. hours from now, the payroll d

i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn. in just a few minutes we will all be watching washington dysfunction at its finest. the senate is set to hold two test votes that will in reality do nothing because they won't pass despite knowing that, before they vote, lawmakers admit there is no plan b. no back-up scenario, no way out of this mess as of today and that means hundreds of thousands of workers like the ones right here on your screen will miss their second paychecks tomorrow. how does the white house see it? >> it is a little bit of pain, but it's going to be for the future of our country and their children and their grandchildren and generations after them will thank them for their sacrifice right now. >> there are reports that there are some federal workers who are going to homeless shelters to get food. >> i know they are and i don't really quite understand why. there's no real reason why they shouldn't be able to get a loan against it. >> i've met with my individual staff members and god bless t

i'm brooke baldwin. thank you for being with me. we begin with the primetime pitch from the president that is expected to send fact checkers into overdrive tonight. fewer than six hours the president is scheduled to give an eight minute national address from the oval office to push his need for his border wall. the question is, will it be convincing enough to stop this partial government shutdown to turn into the longest in u.s. history. 18 days in, it has just unseeded a 1987 shutdown for second place and if no deal happens by this saturday, it will take the top spot. just as the president's words are about to get simultaneous multi-channel exposure, his credibility is indeed in crisis. he and his top deputies continue to use false figures and misleading messages to promote said border wall. case in point. the vice president on abc. >> nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists were apprehended attempting to come in to the united states through various means in the last year -- >> normally at airports but not at the border. >> 3,00

that's the hope at least, brooke. >> okay. we're hoping inaction leads to action and lauren, since i still have you. i wanted to ask you about a potentially -- let's talk about the action. house democratic leaders have be drafting a border security proposal over the last couple of days from what i understand. might that peak the interest of some republicans? >> reporter: perhaps. we haven't seen that proposal. it's still up in the air exactly what it would entail. i do know that republicans and democrats in the senate are hoping to take the floor and give some speeches about trying to encourage the president to reopen the government in the short-term and then try to negotiate a broader border security plan. again, it's just not clear what the white house will support and that's always the key question here. republicans and democrats who are moderate can get in a room, make a decision, come up with a plan and if the president won't sign it, it's going nowhere. >> okay. lauren, thank you so much. we'll come back to you in just a

i'm brooke baldwin. a giant news story from buzzfeed news today involving president trump, michael cohen and an explosive claim that trump told him to lie to congress. if true, important caveat, here's two words we're learning today, suborning perjury. cnn has not independently confirmed this reporting. that being said, suborning perjury is basically a fancy legal way of saying encourage someone to lie. not only is it a crime, it was also part of the articles of impeachment against both richard nixon and bill clinton and, of course, we're all old enough to go way back to 2016 and remember what then candidate trump said during one of those presidential debates. >> i know nothing about russia. i know -- i know about russia, but i know nothing about the inner workings of russia. i don't deal there. i have no loans from russia. >> and now the white house press sarah huckabee sanders just walked out to some microphones outside the white house and she is commenting on this story. let's listen in. >> what about

i'm brooke baldwin. let's just jump right in to it. any moment the president will be standing behind that podium in the rose garden with the news the nation has been waiting for, demanding for the last 35 days. two sources tell cnn a deal to end the shutdown is near, but it does not resolve the border wall conflict. it just forces it to come to a head in three weeks time. that's how long a proposed continuing resolution or c.r. would last. giving more time for a permanent deal to be hashed out and really one of the key questions is, what changed the president's mind? a white house official admits today's major delays at airports from staffing shortages caused by the shutdown did play a key role. let's start there at the white house with our correspondent kaitlan collins. what's in the deal? >> reporter: basically, brooke, what we're expecting the president to come out here and announce that he is going to endorse this deal that would reopen the government just for three weeks therefore it would pay the way for all of those agencies tha

>> yes, yes, brooke. i think the role that independent candidates have played in our history and it's been a very positive role during campaigns is to take one or two issues and really drill down on them. think of ross per roe on the deficit, think of the roll that theodore roosevelt played highlighting things in the 20th century. he can force this into an election season where we actually talk about policy. i'm tired of talking about personality. i'm tired of talking about peoples' hair and how they live their personal lives. we have real policy issues we have to address in our society and i crave and historically we need candidates who focus themselves on those issues. i do think that's where we're going and i do think that's what he adds to the race. >> i wanted to get your reaction to a tweet that was deleted from howard schultz's twitter account that contained an article that slammed kamala harris as shrill and kwazie socialist and called elizabeth warren, quote, focahontas, a play on pocahontas. her

to be about susan brooks. we are excited about what you are doing, because we're going to align with you and help with what you're doing to the extent we can, but the mission is the same, and i don't think people realize but in the last cycle, elise stefanik is the chair of our recruitment committee and recruited a record number of republican women to run for office. everybody wants to make it look as though it only happened on the other side, but you had a record number of women who stepped up and ran, and they ran good campaigns, but money matters and the money was rained in from the other side, from the bloombergs, the steyers, the dccc, and they targeted not just women incumbents but the great candidates you recruited so much so that we only got one through the entire process. now, that's the focus. you have to find great female candidates, and i'll give you an example. we had ashley henson, a sitting state senator, rod blum's district, most recently rod blum was in that district. she approached us the day

i'm brooke baldwin. hi i'm joan lunden. today's senior living communities have never been better, with amazing amenities like movie theaters, exercise rooms and swimming pools, public cafes, bars and bistros even pet care services. and there's never been an easier way to get great advice. a place for mom is a free service that pairs you with a local advisor to help you sort through your options and find a perfect place. a place for mom. you know your family we know senior living. together we'll make the right choice. since you're heading off to dad... i just got a zerowater. but we've always used brita. it's two stage-filter... doesn't compare to zerowater's 5-stage. this meter shows how much stuff, or dissolved solids, gets left behind. our tap water is 220. brita? 110... seriously? but zerowater- let me guess. zero? yup, that's how i know it is the purest-tasting water. i need to find the receipt for that. oh yeah, you do. >>> more than a month has passed since the government partially shut down and the needle doesn't see

i'm brooke baldwin. two major stories we're following right now, the confirmation hearing for william barr on capitol hill and breaking in the uk, this massive defeat for the prime minister there, theresa may, and her proposed brexit deal. just moments ago members of parliament overwhelmingly rejected it. this is the biggest loss in british parliament since 1924. and with me now the prime minister's former spokesman joey jones. he now works for the cicero communications agencies. good morning to you there in london. i mean this was -- she lost, she lost badly. this was historic. not -- not -- not a good look for the prime minister. how does she recover? >> well, it's an absolutely epic defeat and it really is a very momentous evening for us in the uk politics. i think that everybody knew that it could be bad but this is absolutely at the really ugly end of expectation and it leaves the prime minister and her cabinet colleagues and government colleagues completely shell shocked and it leaves british polit
