Days. the justice is 85 years old. she did suffer a fall last month in her supreme court office here in washington. it resulted in three fractured ribs. it was also during that hospital stay on november 7th that her doctors discovered the cancerous growths they removed today. dana: how has she been physically since that fall? reporter: since then, she s been back in full swing here in the nation s capitol. she attended the white house ceremony just a couple weeks ago. she showed the fighting spirit for which she s famous last week. take a look. as testament to our nation s promise, the daughter and grand daughter of immigrants, sits on the highest court in the land. in america, land of opportunity, that prospect is within the realm of the achievable. reporter: she has twice been
What do you think of that? i think the car sales men got a bum deal. dana: they re not so bad. you know, here s the thing. we got a lot of tribalism. it runs rampant. we all have a lot of elitism. congress has no dogs in any of these hunts. their health care is paid for. they have job security. their salaries are great. they can have side hustles to make extra money. they have no term limits. they re never at stake for any government shutdown. they just get extra days off. so when they do things like ted cruz came out, we don t need to hear the rhetoric. we get it. democrats and republicans don t agree on anything. but where s the republican saying, we re going to figure this out? i m going to reach across? i need two democrats to come with me. how can we make this work? everybody s fine. they re not affected. i guarantee if they lost their
dana: thank you. we ll talk to someone who had been mentioned as a potential replacement for mattis. that s general jack keane. we ll ask him what this means. and we re watching a key vote on the senate floor that could determine whether the government shuts down as the blame game continues. the economy is uncertain. if he follows the stock market that he likes to brag about. there s something wrong with this picture. especially in the holiday season. spread a little love today spread a little love my-y way spread a little something to remember philadelphia cream cheese. made with fresh milk and real cream makes your recipes their holiday favourites. the holidays are made with philly.
Must be understood. i m listening to some senators and congress men talk about it. we are not doing the fighting in syria. the syrians are doing the fighting. we have 2200 troops there who are advisers that help them plan, accompany them, certainly. they re in danger. but they all coordinate artillery support and air support and it s very decisive with the ground forces there. that s what we re actually pulling away from. i think it s a mistake because it s a modest investment to get a big gain out of that. that is to stablize eastern syria. don t let isis re-emerge. they will re-emerge. our intelligence services are already telling us that, dana. dana: right. i all wanted to get your take, because you have experience working with the kurds. mark levine tweeting this. we re leaving our long time alley, the kurds, for dead. just for the viewers, can you explain the amount of help the kurds have provided and what
That s one of the main things we re talking about. people claim asylum. we release them saying come back when you can and they never show up. keeping them in mexico, which is another state typically that can offer asylum, that has offered many people asylum will reduce the number of people who get into this country and interior illegally. dana: in the remaining time we have, what do you think is going to happen? we re about nine hours and 21 minutes from a possible shutdown. do you think that s likely tonight? the way things are going, i think unfortunately, we might see a shutdown. i hope we don t, but we sure might. dana: thank you. congressman andy biggs, thank you. with lawmakers still decided, a shutdown a distinct possibility. how worried should you really be over the holidays? i ll ask tyrus for his opinion, when he joins me next. oh! oh! ozempic®!
