Something that was in the waste th this morning the lies me ti-- falsehoods by trump advisers that masked efforts by people in the orbit to develop inroads with russia and leverage relationships what does this tell us about a possible conspiracy with russia and the campaign >> the trump campaign, trump himself, people around trump really lied about their relationship with russia and russian entities, whether his attempt to do business in russia, whether it be the trump tower meeting with an inte...

The reason it wouldnt work from the democratic perspective, its about using a government shut shutdown to negotiate. what they want to see are not just policies gains they can point to but also a commitment from the president to never use the shutdown as leverage before. we saw nancy pelosi where she said she would support legislation from allowing government way-ins it sh down. >> the past is the past. what were looking at is a three-week deadline. donald trump knows, as do reb senators, we can...

He frankly listened to early on in the shutdown, and went back on that deal that the congress thought they had >> as i was standing there in the rose garden with you and the president was deciding and talking about the fact that he reached this shutdown dpeeal an he was clear he had given into the terms, i thought it was a tough week of coverage for him to watch president trump will be watching and he saw ann coulters comments almost live probably. you have the president saying i dont want to lo...

>> one, what was the trigger for the president to finally cave? jonathan swann reported from inside the senate punch on thursday, vice president pence was there, he could see the boots were moving away from him in a big way he said this must have been what the union lines were like right before first bull run. so the thinking inside the white house was better to pull the plug on our terms in our words than have an embarrassing vote with a bunch of republican senators moving away from us second q...

Today. we had one half of one third of government, according to john baynor. we saw democrats able to use leverage they normally wouldnt have by having one half of one third of government. its a really surprising turn of events but all created essentially by the president by walking away from a deal that the house and senate were going to support and saying in advance, you can call it the trump shutdown. he defined the terms of this before we even started. >> so, maria, do you think the presiden...

Back to the drawing board and threatening another shutdown, essentially a repeat of the last 35 days if the president doesnt get what he wants from democrats in a couple weeks. its unclear exactly how the president or his aides believe that he has more leverage now or how things would play out differently a second time around, but as the acting chief of staff mick mulvaney said on his sunday morning talk show, the president is determined. listen to this. >> is the president really prepared to sh...

Lawmakers face a ticking clock. they have three weeks to make a deal before the government runs out of funding again. president trump has already said he will shut down the government or declare a national emergency if he does not get funding for his wall. >> joining me is republican senator marco rubio of florida. also a member of the senate intelligence committee. senator, i want to start with the shutdown. the president did not get any wall funding in this short-term deal. s&p says the econom...

Break with him throughout this shutdown when you looked at the non college educated white voters. his approval numbers with them were going down, doug. so did not even benefit him with his base to dig in his heels. i know you have seen nancy pelosi firsthand working behind the scenes. she proved through this experience she can go toe to toe with the president and walk away with a victory. given your own personal knowledge of how she operates, what do you expect democrats to ask for in negotiatio...

Funding. but does not include his wall. in other words, donald trump has just put america through the most expensive vanity project in history. not just the $25 billion for the wall. but the cost to all of those americans you talk about and hes got absolutely no leverage, no leverage after 35 days. >> well, the government is reopen now and the presidents approval rating we understand was key in that happening. you see that its at 57% disapproval. this poll taken within that window of the partial...
