you know what s not awesome? gig-speed internet. when only certain people can get it. let s fix that. let s give this guy gig- really? and these kids, and these guys, him, ah. oh hello. that lady, these houses! yes, yes and yes. and don t forget about them. uh huh, sure. still yes! xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. now you can get it, too. welcome to the party. good evening. after a weekend long standoff republicans and democrats have approved a deal end the partial government shutdown. it is over. president trump should be signing it any moment now. this should get the government back open for business but only for two weeks up to february
8th. keeping them honest, all they re really doing is kicking the government funding can down the road for another likely heated showdown next month. mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer struck a deal to reopen the government without resolving any issues that sparked the shutdown, mainly immigration reform, namely for daca, and
Fired him and investigations draw closer to him, and right onto the noise machine gets turned up, doesn t it? fox leads the charge with accusations against me, counting on their audience to fall for it again. and as an aside, they re getting awfully close to actual malice in their attacks. republicans will claim they re on the side of parents and family values, but they will do nothing for actual parents or families, nothing on child care, nothing on paid leave, nothing to help working moms and dads get by and get ahead. they will do nothing to invest in our schools or make college more affordable. they ll ban books, but do nothing about guns. they ll make it harder for people to vote, but easier for big corporations to bust unions. they ll let polluters trash our environment, and let donald
Bit. hard pivot to politics away from the news of this week, so you wrote a great piece this week about how it s been a pretty bad week for donald trump. let s just off the top say that. lay out what you mean by that and why and how it just keeps getting worse. well, it s really gotten bad for donald trump on all fronts, right? for everything from the january 6th committee which is, you know, going to get his white house visitors logs, don t know why he had to block those but he was trying to keep them from the committee to the fact that even as we heard today the civil suit against him had moved forward that eric swallow brought for his inciting on january 6th are the allegations but remember that probably one of the biggest ones was the fact that his own accountants, accountants for over a decade not only took him out like trash, i don t know how
Hillary clinton stepped back into the spotlight this week to address democratic party unity. thursday she spoke at the new york state democratic convention where she slammed republicans, fox news, and donald trump and urged democrats to keep their eye on the prize as we head into the 2022 and 2024 midterm election seasons. here s some of what she said and we ll be right back after this. we can t get distracted, whether it s by the latest culture war nonsense or some new right-wing lie on fox or facebook. by the way, they ve been coming after me again lately, in case you might have noticed. it s funny, the more trouble trump gets into, the wilder the charges and conspiracy theoies about me seem to get. so now, his accountants have
Marginalized among us that have to pay the price for his runaway political ambitions. it s an important point that we will end on. brandon wolfe, always great to talk to you. please stay safe. thank you again for being here today. thanks so much for having me. coming up thank you. coming up, hillary clinton has some strong words for republicans, fox news and donald trump. we ll show you some of what she had to say, up next. we ll be right back. we ll be right back. i don t just play someone brainy on tv - i m an actual neuroscientist. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements,
Youngkin s win. he talked to right-wing think tanks and found the issues that polled well with his right-wing base. i ll share something with someone the worst kept secret our governor ron desantis really wants to be elected president in 2024 but some other self-obsessed political mercenary who wants to be president in 2024 as well and this he s donald trump so he s faced with this difficult task of outflanking donald trump to the right, stirring up right-wing fervor and being crowned the next king of the republican party and in order to do that, he served up this buffet of bills that are designed to let the state government police every area of our lives to censor books, to muzzle teachers, to put the prying eyes of his administration in doctors offices where people are making decisions whether to start a family. they re all designed to give him more control and to help him win favor with the right-wing base and unfortunately it s the most
Democrats to go along with this? look, i m as frustrated as anybody out there. i think it s lunacy what s going on that we can t fund the government, it s lunacy we are leaving the dreamers in limbo and this hasn t been passed when clearly the votes are there. all that said, understanding we are in a lunatic situation, the democrats used their leverage to get a vote on these dreamers. that is progress. if what we really care about here is getting policy passed, we took a step in the right direction. a few days ago, we weren t getting this vote. hopefully now there s going to be a vote, it will pass and there will be the political pressure to force the president to sign. so this is not an ideal situation. i m unhappy like everybody else but i think as democrats we have to step back, recognize the incredibly complex and difficult situation that senator schumer was in, and recognize and frankly, applaud these senators for holding the line and moving the ball down the field. that s how t
Then lecture us about family values, to see employers left without employees and then lecture us about business, to see schools empty of students and then lecture us about education? so that s the question republicans have to ask themselves. you are missing one very important point. the bottom line is people who are here illegally are here illegally. we break up families all the time. when people commit illegal acts. it happens all the time. families get broken up. people lose their employment when they commit illegal acts. senator santorum hold it. let him finish. you are talking about 700,000 dreamers and you said 900 are in the military. of course, those have an opportunity to gain their citizenship under the current law. so the reality is, there are pathways for people going forward. what republicans are asking for, what donald trump is asking for, is something very, very reasonable and so far, the democrats have been unwilling to move forward. they want four things. four
Out and to implement and communicate his principles and stephen s no different on that front than anyone else. that s how the white house sees it. but no one is going to dispute that miller is not shy about speaking his opinion and he s no stranger to politics. randi kaye tonight looks back. reporter: he s donald trump s youngest policy adviser, the man at the center of the immigration battle who seems like he s always ready for a fight. that is one of the most outrageous, insulting, ignorant and foolish things you have ever said. reporter: the senate aide turned white house adviser stephen miller has found the ultimate national platform for the conservative views he first embraced as early as high school. after the 9/11 attacks when he was just 16, he penned an editorial for the santa monica lookout arguing his high school wasn t patriotic enough. osama bin laden would feel very welcome at santa monica high school, he wrote. in that same article, miller complained about rampant
They did not want the president to think when they were watching this shutdown unfold, and that s why the president stayed under wraps. moving forward, do you know if the president will work on a deal going forward to avoid a shutdown in february? he did meet with senator joe mansion of west virginia and doug jones, the new senator from alabama, the new democratic senator from alabama. they met behind closed doors. it was sort of a meet and greet session for jones can and the president. however, it is an indication the president is willing to at least meet with centers from both parties moving forward. but the question, anderson, is whether the white house is simply asking too much from democrats. i talked to various sources in the administration today who said a wall is simply not enough to get a deal to protect the d.r.e.a.m.ers from deportation. there has to be a wall plus other items like ending family immigration or chain migration. and so that is going to be up
