6:38 pm
staff's playbook, called, let trump be trump. >> is there an impeachment war room at white house. >> no, i don't think there should be. reason is, i war room will imply you don't have the internal resources to combat what is going on. reporter: white house may not have a formal war room, but trump campaign has a twitter account called trump war room, bill clinton was impeached in his second term in office, but president trump has a full year to go. resources are at his disposal. elizabeth: republican strategist sylvester smith joins me now, congressman schiff, he is leading the impeachment inquiry, he surplu -- he is under fire fr telling mcircumstanc msnbc for e not spoken to the whistleblower, when the whistle-blowerrer had given an account to a committee

6:40 pm
even potentially for farmlize . elizabeth: we don't know if it is concocted or home cooking. we have yet to hear from the whistleblower, that person. but you are right, schiff's committee did help guide the so-called whistleblower, to an attorney who worked for hillary clinton, chuck schumer, donated to joe biden. that is what "new york times" reports, clapper calls it best written complain he has seen, your take? >> well, that again, suggests that this alleged whistleblower had help in pulling this together. looking at people with most to gain, that points back to chairman schiff, his senior staff people, i was watching the
6:41 pm
interrogation of our national director of national intelligence, chairman kept wants to know what he advised the president, i would like to know what chairman schiff spoke to the staffer about, what direction did he give the staffer with regard how to guide the alleged whistleblower, what to put in that alleged report. elizabeth: adam schiff accused devin nunez in 2017, he shared information about the trump transitransition team and membee being spied on. we hear democrats are eyes all t republicans. i want to get to nanc nancy peli for corrected by george stephanopolous. the parody -- >> you support chairman schiff.

6:49 pm
for those who are on -- use medicare. and he is looking for ways to preserve medicare. to cut down on waste, fraud and abuse, also because you have 2020 presidential candidates who want to provide socialized medicine for all americans, that is another reason why the president signed the executive order to protect the current form the medicare, also to help enhance it. elizabeth: important point you made, 2020 democrats would rip apart and do away with medicare as it exists now with single payer, i don't know that american people know that medicare would begun total different if a 2020 democrat wins. and wants single payer and gets it. >> you are right. costs would see rocket, and who would be in control of your healthcare, desire or needs, not

liz: joining me now is ken cuccinelli, the acting director u.s. citizenship and immigration. we are probably one of the only shows in the country that reports what's going on at the border on a daily basis. 800,000 illegal aliens apprehended at the border. but there are concerns border officials are being pulled away from the interior to deal with the surge. your reaction? >> that's certainly been the case during the worst parts of the border crisis. we are still in crisis numbers. even though the numbers have
6:55 pm
gone down for three, four months in a row. we are at crisis levels in terms of the raw numbers coming in. that doesn't just draw more border patrol agents, it draw more i.c.e. agents to the border, and that means they are taken away from internal enforcement and removals and it draws for officers to do asylum and credible fear hearings. so we are all working together to stem the tide at the border. but there is no question, resources are not you be limited, despite the fact it's the federal government. that's just not the case here. other enforcement naturally gets delayed. it does the help to have sanctuary localities as active as they can without crossing legal lines getting in i.c.e.'s way, even if it means letting loose child rapists, murders and
6:56 pm
so forth back toi -- back into r own community. they would rather do that than deport them. liz: 10,000 of the illegal deported in the last fiscal year were gang members. listen to what tom homan had to say about nancy pelosi. >> i heard speaker of the house nancy pelosi make the comment that i.c.e. agents terrorizes innocent immigrant communities. i.c.e. doesn't arrest innocent people. i.c.e. arrests people who violated the law that you enacted. liz: democrats and people in the media keep distorting this. it's not about legal immigrants which we support. people support that, it's about
6:57 pm
criminal illegals. >> there is no question. there are two different side to this story, one is the legal immigration which my agency is responsible for processing, and we are proud to do that. then there is the whole illegal immigration side of it. and these are people who are breaking our laws. if nancy pelosi doesn't like those laws, she is speaker of the house. she can do something about that. but while they are on the books, law enforcement is obligated to enforce it. that's what they are doing at i.c.e. they are professional law enforcement officers who go to work every day putting themselves in harm's way to enforce our laws. they deserve our respect. not the dumping on they get from so many in congress. liz: you guys are up against a wall of resistance. watch this heated exchange from last week's hearing. this happened with democrat
6:58 pm
