For two weeks here, and we know what the position is from democrats in the house. they have put their offer on the table. theyve passed it. we are waiting. we just put this out there. we want to see what happens in the senate. because nothing is happening there now, and there is a question whether there is going to be movement from the cory gardeners and some of these other vulnerable senators. and then there is the question of what will the president really accept here. we listened for an hour ...

I hope it doesnt going on even beyond a few more days. it really could open very quickly. >> the presidents comments came in a lengthy rose garden news conference following that meeting with congressional leaders from both parties. president trump and comingle democrats remain at odds over his demand for $5.6 billion for a wall. trump said he is convening working groups from both the white house and congress through the weekend to come up with some sort of a solution to the impasse. as the shutd...

Discussion. i think this is the obvious way out of this conflict where both sides can claim victory because otherwise, the only way out is for one side to appear to capitulate before the country. we know the president is in no mood to do that, and certainly democratic leaders in the house and senate arent either. so i think thats the answer, and people in congress need to listen to members like josh gotheimer and others, problem solvers who can make these deals happen, who can sit at the table a...

With him in new york knows he has been a crook. he does not really know how to do business. daddy was giving him lots of money. daddy was constantly covering for him. daddy was constantly bailing him out, and he was able to build up reputation that said one thing but the reality was totally different. now were in washington, d.c. nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, many of the democrats, they understand the institution of congress, but were seeing now they understand the institution of the presidency m...

The wall. >> so you dont need congressional approval to build the wall? >> no, absolutely. we can call a national emergency because of the security of our country, absolutely. no, we can do it. i havent done it. i may do it. i may do it. but we could call a national emergency and build it very quickly. its another way of doing it. but if we can do it through a negotiated process, were giving that a shot. >> so is that a threat hanging over the democrats? >> i never threaten anybody. but i am all...

Relationships with other people. hes never built strong teams around him. hes never known how to push something threw by building relationships with other people. i think that informs his entire relationship with the gop, regardless of his relationship with democrats. and what he is focused on here right now isnt the policy. he doesnt have a clear sense of what kind of policy he wants on the southern border, or what kind of policy he wants on immigration. he is focused on the wall because he is ...
