with russian collusion, jared kushner said that helped turn around the economy because the media was so focused on this bogus theory they were able to deregulate without interference by the media. now while impeachment is going on, he rattles off 8 major events that have taken place with the canadian, mexican-american deal, the china deal. it's truly amazing. he's a businessman. he doesn't waste anything. he puts it to work. on the way in here i googled "the des moines register" to read up on the impending impeachment and it wasn't there. so i went to the union leader in new hampshire, the epicenter of politics and it wasn't there. i went to the san francisco chronicle, surely they will have it. they had it on page four. lou: that's an extraordinary canvassing you have done for us today, and we are always grateful. the american people know how this ends. and it ends badly for pelosi and schumer. and certainly for schiff. and nadler. it is just sow insulting to the american people that these low lifes, these radical dimms in the judiciary committee and the intelligence committee and s

jared kushner, made it be known that he used to not be republican but now he is. they all talked to the president through the things that get out to the press. they seem to be trying to soothe him into believing that impeachment is in his political benefit out of some fear or terror that exactly what the rev and john are describing may be sort of this swirling storm around them. are you picking up any sort of early signs of that from your west wing sources? >> i am, nicole. there seems to be an eagerness for trump to grasp onto any shred of evidence that could bolster the case that impeachment is helping the president politically. and we've seen the president echo those points back out in public. he is claiming that the polls are through the roof and showing that impeachment is making him more popular, you know, the fact of the matter is he remains unpopular, underwater, and not in a particularly good standing, at least according to public opinion surveys for his re-election campaign. but he is looking for evidence. he is going to many more rallies than he had bee

it's something that his son-in-law, jared kushner, has been working on. i suspect there will be some money in there that they will try to repurpose for the border wall, but that democrats will say is not designed for the border wall. guest: i can speak to that. they basically ended up in the same place as last year. the president wanted $5 billion. he's going to get a shade under $2 billion. the democrats were pushing hard to limit his ability to transfer funds from other accounts. that didn't end up becoming part of the deal, but the republicans did agree they wouldn't back fill the accounts that the president transferred from last year. so he's going to have to find some new ways to ship the money if he wants to do this again. so it's kind of a status quo where neither side really got what they want, but they mutually decided to move on to other issues. host: engineer any huntington beach, california, democratic caller. caller: good morning. i wasn't even planning on calling in this morning, but i'm just so tired of these calls, these callers calling, e

why aren't they responding with what about jared kushner. ivanka, why are they not playing sound bytes of republicans like gym gordon and mark meadows whether there were all for congressional oversight when they were investigating barack obama. there are a litany of sound bytes of these guys declaring that congress has authority to get documents, to compel truth, why don't they ever throw that back in their face during these hearings? >> i think they should put hank johnson in charge. he might be the only one that knows how to truly clap back. it's always great to talk to you and we will continue talking throughout this whole impeachment thing. william barr does his best to cover up another one of trump's messes. that's next. ther one of trump's messes that's next. puberty means personal space. so sports clothes sit around growing odors. that's why we graduated to tide pods sport. finally something more powerful than the funk. tide sport removes even week-old sweat odor. it's got to be tide. ♪for the holidays you can't beat home sweet home

last evening when the advisor to the president jared kushner was speaking about immigration he alluded to australia's merit-based system. i would want your thinking further color on that. how appropriate it is fundamentally going to rethink our idea of immigrants, when you go to a merit-based system. a strong's population -- australia's population is 25 million. their civilization is vastly different from ours. how do you see it reshaping who we are, for folks who need to be doing manual work as much as manning the phd work? mr. mulvaney: that is where i would start on the answer. while recognize, -- the president is not anti-immigrant. not anti-immigration. he remembers the mistake that reagan made. reagan gave amnesty in exchange for border security. but never got the second half of the deal. this present, not the present -- [indiscernible] going to talkt about fixing legal immigration until we fix illegal immigration. we're going to handle border security first. that goes just beyond the southern border. the southern border for any given year apart to make half of our illegal immigr

jared kushner defended the executive order saying it does not define jews as a nationality but merely says that to the extent they are discriminated against for ethic, racial or national characteristics, they are entitled protection by the anti-discrimination law. critics are also raising concern about free speech but a trump administration official says the executive order clearly states it should be applied consistent with the first amendment. >>> we also have new information this morning about that deadly shooting at that naval air station in pensacola, florida last week. sources say investigators have determined the shooting was likely a terror attack inspired by radical islamic ideology. investigators say the shooter had posted radical content online. he killed three service members before being killed by officers. he was a member of the saudi air force in the u.s. for training. >>> we turn now to washington where the house has kicked off a fiery debate on the articles of impeachment against president trump. democrats accuse the president of betraying the nation by going on a con

we have criminal justice reform that has been led by jared kushner and kellyanne conway as well to make sure those who have turned their life around are employment,back to get housing, and to be able to mend relationships with their families. that,we are talking about i think both kellyanne and ben talked about the co-occurring problem that is so typically found with folks who have any medical illness. that they are so much more likely, well over 50% were likely to try to illicit drug use. there are a variety of factors. not only are they victimized in terms of housing and victimized in terms of issues, they are also victimized because they are the hardest to reach. they are the hardest to explain why, don't try this substance. they are the hardest ones to comprehend because the onus that they are facing with any mental illness is one of understanding and compassion. sometimes a lock of friendship and loneliness of someone to be there to say, don't try that, don't do that. it is hard for me not to think about my job every day and the blessings i have with my family. i get to be able to

we are looking at security clearances in the white house that were granted to, among others, jared kushner, seemingly over the objections of professionals. how did that happen? and what is the risk of that? we're looking at obviously immigration questions in terms of how children are being treated at the border and being separated from their families even now. so we have a lot of -- a lot on our plate. we intend to go forward full swing. >> gerry connolly, congressman from the 11th district of virginia, thank you very much. appreciate your time. happy new year. >> thank you. >>> let's pick up on what the congressman said a few minutes ago. talking about all of this under pinning material that is of interest. >> i wonder a lot about jared kushner's security clearance. actually it's what i wonder about every night before i go to bed. there are a lot of ways to attack the president. there's always been the debate should this be narrow and broad. it is pretty narrow at this point. why wouldn't congress busy itself with continuing to look into what's going on in this administration. it's exhaus

hope hicks and a attempt by jared kushner to brief trump after the trump tower meeting in 2016. she says kushner tried to open a folder with documents but trump stopped him saying he doesn't want to know about that. what does that say to you. is that plausible deniability? >> yeah, it could be. i hadn't heard this. it maybe sound like it. and i guess this is from one of the inner circle who won't be the first time somebody tried to protect the president. so, i guess more to follow. if more of the notes will be coming out. this is being done against the department of justices wishes. >> director clapper, thank you so much. >> thanks, don. >> lisa page is taking her power back. the former lawyer who sent texts breaking her silence and describing attacks bit president as feeling like a gut punch. sales guy, give 'em the employee price, then gimme your foot. hands-free sliding doors, stow 'n go seats. can your car do this? man, y'all getting a hook up and y'all don't even work here. don't act like i'm not doing y'all a favor. y'all should be singing my praises. pacificaaaaa! with em

but if jared kushner can't do it, it can't be done. ( laughter ) >> stephen: really? if jared can't do it it can't be done? (as trump) "that man does the impossible. i mean, he married ivanka. do you know how many people said 'you can't marry ivanka?' my lawyers, my pastor, the elvis at the las vegas wedding chapel." ( cheers and applause ) ( piano riff ) "he did it. he sealed the deal ." >> jon: no, you can't do it! ( applause ) >> stephen: you can tell trump has been anxious recently because on sunday, he fired off 105 tweets and retweets. that's such a rich and important record for future historians. now we know what the commander in chief thinks about m.m.a. fighter tito ortiz defeating alberto rodriguez via rear naked choke hold. ( laughter ) it reminds me of lincoln's stirring words, "a house divided against itself cannot withstand a roundhouse kick to the trachea." ( laughter ) mm-hmm. ( applause ) ( cheers and applause ) trump's sunday tweet-a-thon included works of art, like this stunning portrait of his head grafted onto the beefy bod of rocky balboa. trump

trade representative robert lighthizer and jared kushner are heading to mexico. the deal is not final. but sounding upbeat. more upbeat on this. >>> rain and snow from boston to texas. to cold temperatures will follow, as well. here's meteorologist pedram javaheri. >> this weather is brought to you by the ninja foodi pressure cooker. we have wet weather spanning a 2,300-mile stretch of land, from texas into portions of new england and beyond. that is not only responsible for the wet weather but a blast of arctic air. it's cold enough to produce snowshowers across parts of tennessee. nashville, you're included in all of that. tonight, getting the wintry weather that is in northern mississippi, central mississippi. and this skirts towards the northeast, on wednesday, bringing with it a brief shot of snowshowers, as well. the cold air becomes the story here over the next couple days. it sets up shop, wednesday into thursday. the warm before the storm takes us up to 60 in boston. upper 50ed s in new york city. and the bottom drops back. a high of 38 degrees. notice t

we know the president's son-in-law, jared kushner is spurring the department of justice and trying to mobilize as many resources as the government attorney as possible to acquire this land expediti s expeditiously and trying to get crews out as soon as possible. >> there is virtually no new wall in spite of the promise the president made during his campaign and for the first three years of his presidency, there is really nothing in terms of new walls to show for it. having said that, what about the logistics of it just getting all things done over the course seven or eight months or so. >> it is really daunting. i think that's one of the things kushner is discovering as he rolls up his sleeves and takes over the project in order to complete the 450 miles of walls that the president have promised, that'll require the government to obtain hundreds of private properties along the river in texas and build on those properties in the next year. that does not seem realistic. i think what we are seeing is this project is two different projects. one in texas and one in the western states where

we are also very pleased indeed to welcome jared kushner back to new york historical. she is the chief washington correspondent for national law journal and covered the us supreme court for 130 years and is a regular contributor to the newshour and she has written for publications like vogue, ms. magazine and the new york times and is the author of the roberts court, and hours before we begin i would like to make sure anything that makes noise like a cell phone is shut off. thank you for welcome at our guests this evening, thank you. [applause] >> it is wonderful to be back with all of you tonight and wonderful to be here with my friend, my colleague, my supreme court watcher as i am to talk about joan's terrific new book about the chief justice of the united states, john roberts junior. i want to start by giving all of us a sense of john roberts the man before we talk about john roberts for justice on the supreme court. i want to start with a letter you reprinted in the book. this is a letter john roberts wrote when he was 13 years old to the head of an all-male catho

. >> kennedy: i'm saying you are completely comfortable with jared kushner. >> and we are following money into the biden family and in exchange for what? >> and we should also investigate that. the question is, why was the ukrainian family funneling money into the biden family? >> the problem for joe biden's charisma, and democrats get very uncomfortable when democrats want to ask questions about burisma because they are naturally asking questions about the biden's. i don't know if there was anything illegal or unethical but, maybe there should be ethical guidelines. i don't have a problem with them uniformly being followed by both sides. but i would like to see some of these people under oath questioned because i would personally like to watch the senate trial because it sounds much more interesting than what has happened so far in the house. is this going to be -- i've even heard some people saying that there are democrats who will not side with democrats. and like joe manchin and people who have to defend the republicans. >> and, go back to early march before the mueller report, before

we have criminal justice reform that has been led by jared kushner and kellyanne conway as well, to make sure those who have turned their life around are able to get back to employment, get housing, and to be able to mend relationships with their families. and while we are talking about that, i think both kellyanne and ben talked about the co-occurring problem that is so typically found with folks who have any mental illness -- medical illness. the problem of that they are so much more likely, well over 50% more likely to try to illicit drug use. there are a variety of factors. we could talk about that all day. but we know not only are they victimized in terms of housing and victimized in terms of issues, they are also victimized because they are the hardest to reach. they are the hardest to explain why, don't try this substance. and if they are the hardest ones to comprehend because the facing,that they are with any mental illness is one , of understanding and compassion. sometimes a lack of friendship and loneliness of someone to be there to say, don't try that, don't do that. it is ha

kushner said those who disapproved of trump still voted for him and many don't want to publicly add mid thmit they bacp but ultimately will. is this the key to president trump's victory? >> a joke even some president's advisers make. what does it mean ton approve of donald trump? end of 2016 beat hillary clinton in the -- electoral college, approval rating down and still won. a lot of people say we don't love the president, what he's doing but love him enough to pick him over a democrat. particular ademocrat they see as far left on oun the spectrum opposes many of the things they believe in. that's what the president's campaign, the argument the president's campaign will try to make. a lot of folks may not approve of everything the president does but elections are about alternatives. two choices and essentially have to pick one or the other. the president hopes to cast his opponent in unflattering and negative terms voters come along to picking him anyway. >> and wise political strategists say voters vote in their own self-interest. president trump trying to convince me, may not lik

democratic voters complained to me, why is jared kushner working in the white house? why does the president seem to help his family be part of the federal government? it is an unusual arrangement. we heard these concerns going back to bobby kennedy when he was included in his brother's cabinet. democrats, republicans say how is hunter biden getting a deal with burisma with not much energy experience during the vps tenure? nepotism,erns about insider deals, it fuels on both sides this idea that washington is removed, washington is elite, washington is a protected class. that is why you see outsiders on both sides of the aisle doing well in this kind of environment. , atington is perceived times rightly, as a place where if you have connections you can do better than the average joe. host: speaking of average joe, how has joe biden been able to shake the hunter biden story? guest: here remains at the top of nearly every poll. he has slipped and some of the early states like iowa and new hampshire. he is going to have to catch up in iowa to be competitive there. hebe --
