Bunch. be our crystal ball. >> well, look, what i think will happen is nancy pelosi will send the cr over to the senate and mitch mcconnell. hes going to look at it, but i dont think hes going to do anything with it. then the burden will be on the republicans because the drr democrats will have acted. theyll have passed a cr to reopen the government, and the republicans are going to sit on it. i dont know how long they can sustain that, but lets put this wall in perspective a little bit. one is ...

Where is the 55 miles in texas going to be placed? theres no specifics on this. this whole thing is fluid. as the democrats pointed out, he didnt spend the money last year in the budget for border security so why give him more? he has not a clue as to where or what its going to be. the democrats dont really know what he wants. you are left negotiating in quicksand. you are going to be back where you were at the beginning of all the mess before ann coulter shot her mouth off. he was going to comp...

Pun intended -- on what this project is going to be. theres a nice web page that you can go to, but the dhs and even the white house has not answered my specific questions about specific nature of the wall, how its going to be built, where its going to be built, what its going to be built of, because they really dont know. it started out as a 1,900-mile, then it was going to be see-through, echo friendly, but none of it makes any sense. its a scam issue, because there are places where the existi...

Not about the wall, its about border security. the only thing president trump really needs out of this for him to say okay is for him to feel like hes getting a win in his book. >> i think thats right. i mean, he is obviously looking at the conservative chattering class, people like ann coulter and rush limbaugh who are down with his first move in agreeing to a clean cr and no wall funding and then he backed off of that once there was outcry from folks in his base, folks in his base that he felt...

Currently on furlough or working without pay watching this. >> lets be honest. when you mention, eric, you mention kellyanne conway, she has zero credibility, and she is the one that gave us alternative facts. >> but she has insight into -- >> she spins everything. she is like the president in the fact that she will take words and speak them, but that doesnt mean they have any relationship with reality, and we will come back later and spin something else. they will spin it into a victory no matt...

Shes been too busy trying to secure the votes to be speaker of the house. and not enough time securing our border. and while she may have the votes, it is a thin majority if she does. and she will not cut any deal with republicans on so she has that speakership secure. that is why there wasnt going to be a deal before we swear in the 116th congress. nothing will happen until we get back to washington, electing a speaker and then i expect it would be some kind of a clean cr or she might be limite...

Nancy pelosi could potentially enact, which one do you think is going to be the best for the country? s is probably just to get the cr that the senate had already approved. >> option number one. sop >> option number one, as we call it, the continuing resolution to keep the government open. that way they can continue to negotiate. i think the 30th sis just not that reasonable. one thing to go back to, that basil touched on, so did eleanor, is to remember, they took a voice vote in the senate. the...

Is a problem, this current problem is because republicans and democrats are so dug in. its a problem because of the president. the last time we were here, in january, with another threatened shutdown over the issue of immigration, there was a bipartisan deal that was struck and at the 11th hour it was president trump who walk away from that deal because he didnt want to back a bill with daca in it because he thought that it would be seen by his base as amnesty. he walked away from that deal in a...
