Bill 669 News Today

The wall. I believe mexico will pay for the wall. I have a Good Relationship with mexico. Were negotiating nafta. In some form mexico will pay for the wall. But mexico will not pay for the wall and that is why the American Government is on the verge of a shutdown. Donald trump humiliated himself to everyone with a High School Level understanding of government when he first said mexico will pay for the wall. And then he got personally humiliated on the telephone with the president of mexico when ...

Vote. >> you need unanimous consent to do that. you need cooperation of all 100 senators. although republicans would look silly if they tried to block democrats from letting them have majority threshold on a bill they claim is important to have the government open. >> sam, i want to go back to the president flying out of town and if the vice president flies out of town, then you know that they dont think theres anything that they can do here. but the president going to florida just completely le...

Interesting and difficult kwu quandaries for lawmakers on the hill. this morning the president tweeted that he didnt want a six year c.h.i.p. extension, which was news to everyone in washington d.c. because thats what the republican strategy has been and is for funding the government. what we were reporting today is that it threw things momentarily into utter chaos on the hill. where republicans are to check if the bill they were attaching the entire government funding operation to would end up ...

Global nuclear war that could eliminate the spae secies from planet, there needs to be safeguards in place, one that is in congress right now, house bill 669 for bids any president, not just the current president but any president from launching a first strike nuclear attack against any country without the okay from congress, which is a common sense bill. why would anybody not want congress to at least approve an attack of that nature? thats one thing. the missiles are currently on a hair trigge...

Only six democrats voted for the bill today. joining us sam stien, daniel dale is also with us. adam, how do you see this play unfolding on the senate floor tonight? >> one of the things youre seeing tonight is more manipulation by mitch mcconnell because one of the secrets of the senate is it can move very fast when it wants to. the bill that came over from the house could be voted on tonight. but theyre trying to show they can defeat it and leave another day in negotiations. and a day in negot...

Another thing interesting about lindsey graham, he also said he would not vote for the house passed cr, which tells you something. which is that mitch mcconnell may not have 50 republican votes for the partisan house passed bill. so mitch mcconnell has probably failed to get a majority of his republicans to vote for his bill. theres a bipartisan that will pass easily. but he cant get the votes for the house cr. so hes leaning on democrats to cover for his own failure. >> ive been wondering about...

Tomorrow. he wants to put as much pressure on the democrats that plan on voting against the bill, he wants to put as much pressure as possible on the democrats in an effort to make them flip and in effort to make them look responsible for what could and looks like could be a potentially inevitable shout don if they dont get anything done tomorrow. >> is there any indication chuck schumer is considering allowing this to go to a vote, in other words, shopping the 60-vote threshold, letting it go t...

Country that kind of power. what if his campaign speech had been, we will build a wall and i will force the democrats in congress to pay for that wall with your tax dollars or i will shut down the congress. today the president tweeted this, we need the wall for the safety and security of our country. we need the wall to help stop the massive inflow of drugs dpr mexico, now rated number one most dangerous country in the world. if there is no wall, there is no deal. and here we are tonight because...

>> the president is always looking to assign blame. is he at this point assigning blame inside the white house that we are at the government shutdown threshold. >> so far president trump is blaming democrats for the fact that there might be a government shutdown and specifically the fact that they want to see the pathway for citizenship for d.r.e.a.m.ers in a bill pass here, however if you look at what the president said this morning, it was the president who undermined his own strategy by sendi...
