Time has been stymied by nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and miscalculated this a bit, thought he would get more leverage with the democratic congress and not true and separate them and not true. >> can i get your take on something joe said yesterday and again today, this was put up for a vote for the elections. you were running communications for the campaign, in your view, did it work as an issue for republicans for congressional races? >> certainly not in some districts, look at south florida,...

But at any level of decency or right or wrong, when you are running for president, certainly when you are president, when theres some chance you might be the leader of the free world, it is, at that point, of course, that you stop doing anything that could give somebody leverage over you, that might create a sense of a conflict of interest. the president, of course, doesnt understand the notion of a conflict of interest or of somebody having leverage on him. so its not surprising he came out the...

On this decision. he tweeted again that he wont cave on the wall. youre seeing the costs here. u.s. coast guard sailors going to sea with families not receiving a paycheck. the fbi agents association talking about faeks on ongoing law enforcement investigations. is there any diminishing of support within trumps inner circle to stay hard on this and not allow the federal government to open? >> let me turn it around a little bit. i think the effects can all go away if the democrats actually come t...

We ought to have faith in that system. i understand, weve had problems coming to resolution, but lets face it. what the president introduced at the last moment after a budget compromise was struck and the senate indicated willingness to pass legislation to keep the government open was a new element. a new edition beyond what we had already agreed to. we shouldnt stop government from exercising the responsibilities that we have already agreed to fund in order to get leverage to do something that ...

Offense. let me show you the vote on that, the secure fence act, hillary clinton, chuck schumer, joe biden, feinstein, president obama at the time. but he said no. and yet, now you have one-third less of a fence for the democrats to propose. >> dan: well, what we want obviously smart border security. as you now indicate, clearly we support border security not just in 2006 but the senate passed comprehensive immigration reform which dealt with border security in 2013. of course, in both cases, th...

I dont really concern myself and i dont think anybody should concern themselves with the objects of all of this. this is a really set of issues but my view is clear. we should not use the leverage of a government shutdown to get something that the legislative process itself will not deliver. the framers designed a system to reconcile the big differences that we face. they never imagined that we would use leverage that really could have an impact as we are now learning on public safety and nation...

Going to blame the democrats. brian: cost ago billion plus dollars a w week. we have been doing this 32 days. its basically cost the amount of the wall to have the shutdown. ainsley: right. brian: thats how dumb this whole thing is. ainsley: seat record of the democrats when they all wanted the barrier and wanted some sort of a wall. barrier at the border. and now they are saying they dont want that they wanted it before. now they dont want it the president saying thats the one thing i want. giv...

And to those who have temporary protected status, immigrants who come from worn torn countries or countries ravaged by natural disaster. they talk a big game about wanting to support the dreamers and people on tps, but now they got a chance to do something about it. look, they could vote for this bill. it will go to the house. the house will then have a chance to modify it in whatever way nancy pelosi wants and send it back to the senate. they can ping it back and forth. this is a way to advance...

Leverage. now he doesnt have either. >> what do you think it is about nancy pelosi? i loved your comment that hes never run up against a woman with power, and she doesnt just have power, she has all the things you just described. she has made deals. she has made big deals and shes made deals where shes certainly come out ahead. but she understands everything you just described. she understands how to compromise. >> what he said, if you want make a deal with a politician you cant make a deal. wha...

The senate floor this week. all that needs to happen is for our democratic friends to agree that its time to put the country ahead of politics. take yes for an answer. and vote to put this standoff behind us. to be clear, mr. president, the proposal outlined by president trump that well consider here in the senate is the only proposal, the only one currently before us that can be signed by the president and immediately reopen the government. >> so many things to talk about there. first of all, d...
