Election on january 3, shes at risk of losing her speakership so were in this for the long haul. >> the white house with mulvaney, with the president himself, with sarah sanders all sort of twisting nancy pelosi at a time when she is about to presumably come into her speakership as the head of house democrats, but that actual election does need to take place next week, and the white house is trying to sort of lay out a bit of a pr game before the new congress comes back into town and to fill thi...

Were not paying for it. mexicos paying for it. >> reporter: that payment has since become indirect, trump saying mexico will pay through the not-yet ratified trade deal between the u.s., mexico and canada, but the president has struggled to explain how it works. >> as the president said, the wall will be paid for on the savings on trade alone. >> the trade benefits, if there are any dont go to the treasury. >> hes assayisaying the money would be saved we could pay for the wall four times over an...

Math, frances. but following on what mick mulvaney said, it doesnt make a whole lot of sense to say that nancy pelosis afraid to make a deal before thursday simply because of republicans are still in control of the house until thursday and theyve already pass add bill that gives the president the $5 billion that he seeks for the wall. so, as talking points go, that one might be a little bit suspicious. but one thing is certain, and mick mulvaney is probably right about this, this thing is on a g...

The president, to our knowledge, has not invited democrats to come on over, as he has said. and it seems like there is an acquiescence at the white house that there wont be any significant movement until the new year. so we have several days to go at least. is that an invitation via twitter? perhaps, but nancy pelosis team tells us she has not had direct contact from the white house since december 11th. thats a long time, given this shutdown. and really, it has been chuck schumer on the senate s...

Members of his own party unsure about the votes to take. and so they want to have a more public embrace from the president on any deal. it is true that the speakership of nancy pelosi does not come into being, really, until january 3rd, when a new congress comes in, they vote to elect the speaker. she does not have a big margin although its hard to imagine, with all the strength in nancy pelosis political arsenal, that that wont happen. but its not something we can assume, the votes have to be c...

Shutdown. i have to ask you what is behind the strategy? why do that? whos buying it, and frankly is it working? >> it may be working to an extent because democrats do share some of the blame because in the senate you look at you need 60 votes to shut down the filibuster. the democrats arent negotiating. you see the president go from $25 billion down to $5 billion down $2.5 billion. when you look at washington math, whats the difference between $2.5 billion that the president put on the table an...

Videotaped it. >> i would not know whether to punish him or reward. thats creative for a first grader. >> this is like an old story made new with technology. 15 years ago it was students using google. alexa is google for your ears. the question is: is figuring out an answer and finding the answer is, is there any difference at this point? maybe this is the way its supposed to be. free up your brain for other things. you dont need to figure out answers anymore. all you have to do is find them. al...

Swerving dramatically to the left, as a train blows right through. another car, you saw, almost got struck, and the crossing gate not closing until after the train passed. authorities acknowledged a mechanical failure. now, to the 6-year-old caught red-handed. >> alexa, whats five minus three? >> five minus three equals two. >> not exactly a tutor there. a new jersey mom sharing the moment she busted her son using an alexa, amazons virtual assistant, to cheat on his math homework. the understa...

Thats tattooed in peoples cerebral cortexes. one thing we saw in the midterms was new ways to get the math to work out to get you where you beat kristin sinema, abrams who came close in georgia, democrats had a hard time in. youre going to need a candidate and movement behind that candidate and organizing to try to make that be happening in new states. >> i think what one point of clarification, i was talking about primaries. but south carolina primary. absolutely. when youre talking about, you ...

>> no, i agree. and especially in a free-for-all. >> exactly. >> which is shaping up on the democratic side. i want to go back to something that cornell said, which i thought was interesting when he talked about south carolina and the ability to crack what i think will be a unique opportunity, assuming the president runs for reelection, which i still do, to crack the republican hold in the south. its not just south carolina. its georgia. >> yep. >> as witnessed by stacey abrams. its florida as w...
