Days ago that was less than $5 billion. and they have not come back with anything. so right now the president is very concerned about his image, about the economy. this does not bode well for him. but it looks like the dems, you know, just as rachel said, you know, january 3rd will be when they begin to look at issues and bills and ways to stop the stalemate. >> theyre going to have the leverage. and john kirby, the president also threatened to cut off aid to honduras, guatemala, el salvador as ...

The house about 4:00 that would basically reopen the government -- >> you saw a democrat -- the president said dmgz had gone home and the republicans were still there. >> well, clearly say one thing, facts clearly show another. right? and republicans are the ones who gavelled him down. they wouldnt let him bring it up for a vote. theres a lot of talk about this. clearly lawmakers, despite the fact that this is a total disaster and people, federal workers are going to feel the brunt of this, they...

And is in a position where shes going to be taking that blame. the president has back tracked on saying he would own the shutdown to blame it on the democrats since then. once we get into the new congress, everybody is going to be open to some sort of blame depending on how the negotiations go. democrats have more leverage to push the president to take perhaps a deal he doesnt want to take at this juncture right now but they dont have absolute leverage. what the senate republicans do or dont do ...

Youre seeing in real-time now, jim, the ramifications of the presidents decision to abruptly withdraw those troops. now everybody is trying to fill that vacuum. the kurds specifically. and it says a lot that they would rather see syrian-backed forces, syrian regime forces protecting those citizens than they would the turks coming across that border. so youre seeing this all play out in real-time. it means a couple of things. one, it means the end of our credibility and any leverage we might have...
