Covering the president and americans are addicted to reading and listening and reading his tweets and hearing about him, even when they hate him. love him or hate him, it is addicting. how do you get media attention facing the president 101, given his outside advantage of being able to play the game. >> jon: right; right. he is good at playing the game. we will never forget the number of times the cable network would have camera on empty podium and just waiting for trump to speak. it would be an...

Show, you sat down with ralph reed, the president of the faith and freedom coalition. watch there. >> when you have people like michael avenatti and brian fallin who is a former clinton operative who is running one of the organizations as opposed to kavanaughs confirmation saying that the playbook is topping kill his nomination and then to win the midterms in order to deny president trump an additional supreme court pick, it looks like a political campaign. >> so revenge? does this seem like coo...

Over the last couple hours or so? >> well, i think he feels like the republicans are in a very solid position as it relates to talking to the public about what theyre doing, tonight the vote count will not lie, it will be most republicans voting to keep the government open, and most democrats voting to shut the government down. i see it simply, there are two cakes in the oven here, one cake is ready to eat. one cake is not set up yet, thats the daca bill. i agree with everything brian said about...

A crisis to meet with these dreamers, you heard secretary nilsson admit shes never met a dreamer, i would think theyd have their minds open, if they met with one of these people impacted by the threats donald trump is making. >> scott, you want to respont to that? >> i share brians passion on fixing the issue on daca. >> they deserve legal certainty. virtually every republican i know agrees with that, i dont think theres broad consensus in the congress and the white house right now over what tha...

Something to come with, so the government doesnt shut down? >> you first, brian. >> i dont know, you heard phil report that mcconnell is cooking up another cynical ploy of trying to expose democratic senators from trump won states to as many show boats over the next 90 minutes as possible. maybe youll see something where he offers a three-week continuing resolution or two-week continuing resolution. let me respond to two things scott said before you went to phil. he said democrats should want to...

Like theyre in a good place, democrats are out over their skis on this one, i can tell you right now, brian will say the same thing, democrats dont feel that way, they feel like theyre having a fight they need to have, as long as those two sides stay in those two positions, this is going to continue for the foreseeable future. >> phil mattingly is on capitol hill, were going to get back to him in a moment. are we going to sundland? okay, were having trouble, were going to go back to scott jennin...

There have not been a lot of at least rigorous talks between the two parties. senators schumer and mcconnell have spoken by phone at least one. other than that, there hasnt been a lot of communication between them or their offices. theyre obviously all talking right now, but i think theyve gotten to the point right now whereas brian pointed out, the issues for democrats havent just changed. its not a date change type of issue in terms of how long a short term funding bill would be. this he want ...

Bipartisan group came up with, hes gone back on his word on that front. thats why we are where we are tonight. >> some democrats have crossed over. before that, give me your assessment to this, and then ill ask you the question. >> brian is i think overstating the support for whatever daca deal hes referring to, theres not legislative language that anyone has 60 votes on the floor. i agree theres bipartisan support for getting the deal done for the dreamers. we dont have legislative language tha...

They said that he will not be speaking tonight. maybe there will be a paper statement. maybe a tweet. we dont know. but im sure the american people would like to know from their leader whats going on. how does he stand on this? lets bring in -- >> hey, don. >> is that scott? go ahead, scott. >> i just wanted to respond to brian real quick on the president. brian said they wont accept a three-week deal. they dont want this deal thats currently on the floor that passed the house by a big margin. t...

We appreciate that. if you get something, let us know. well put you right back on the air. i want to get back to rebecca berg, david rohde and brian fallon. my question, david is honestly, i get it. this is politics. this is washington. its fine. play the blame game. but at this moment when americans are like, what is going to happen? this government is going to shut down. most people are like they dont really know its the weekend and what effect its going to have. so theyre concerned. dont they...
