Through. you have a chance to get a better deal. you know that your negotiating position is going to get worse in the coming year. >> rick: who gain strength as the strings on? new democratic white house. this is the first thing that happens. hundreds of people and getting paid. does the public blame them for not being willing to negotiate with the president? >> think about it. if you are nancy pelosi, this is the best thing that you could have because her first problems was going to be divided ...

I will run through some of them if i can, and the outgoing special envoy to bob mcguirk, and then moving on the nuclear deal, and then moved to the the fed, and of course, took a shot at the media, and then claimed that saudi arabia has agreed to rebuild syria, and a claim that nobody can verify, and so, help us to understand what the president is doing, amisch? >> well, he is sitting in the white house and frustrated with what he cannot do. he wants to tell the supporters and the conservative m...

The net growth resulting from a mildly renegotiated trade deal. susan paige, doesnt exactly pack the same punch, and also doesnt really justify politically a government shutdown that is making less and less sense even to donald trumps strongest supporters. >> one thing thats remarkable about what mick mulvaney said yesterday on the shows is somehow calling it steel slats would convince democrats it wasnt a ball and it would be okay to support it, which it is not going to happen. if president tru...

The senate has already demonstrated they have the votes to do that. they passed the spending bill without the presidents $5 billion for a wall, a slat wall, a barrier, sagebrush, whatever you want to call it, that they want to put down there right now, whatever the negotiating position is, as trance apparently semitic it may be. following again your discussion with geoff, its hard to see how the politics work in the long run, but you know what, weve been surprised before, well probably be surpri...

The shutdowns a bad idea. the republicans and this point that my friend greg sargeant made, the republicans are primarily concerned about right wing media saying fight to the end and so that puts the democrats actually in a more difficult negotiating position so these folks know what theyre doing. so lets just send them up to vail and see if they can settle it. >> im a little sad, tiffany, that, you know, our friend e.j. didnt include ginny pirro. >> my apologies to the judge. >> lets let janine...

Encountered. he said it could be steel slats. that seems to be where this debate is centering right now. what are you going to call it a wall? if call it a wall, you wont get any point billion dollars. their base doesnt want anything to do with a wall. democrats feel theyre in a very strong negotiating position as they take over control of the house in just about nine days time on january 3rd. republicans here sort of waiting for things to happen. mitch mcconnell insisting its up to chuck schume...

He meant it literally. unfortunately, it was never going to be true and wont be true. he said in the last seven days if we built the wall, it would save us hundreds of billions of dollars. hundreds of billions. that number he just pulled out of his hat. there is no evidence of that, there is no basis for saying that, but hell say anything, and thats what makes it very difficult to figure out what a negotiating position is with him because hes just very volatile. >> so other than your furloughed ...

Moving forward. he also said look, i come from a position of strength at this point, im in a better negotiating position. if i stand firm now on the 5 billion and try to get them to come up on 1.6, but he is using it to make a point, he knows about the art of the deal, were going to have less negotiating power as democrats move and take control of the house in january. look, i talked with people that spoke with him yesterday and today. hes in a good mood. he understands hes in a position where t...

The fact is we have 800,000 federal workers going without pay over the holidays, and i wish it was as simple as he just made it a schoolhouse rock episode, we need a majority in the senate, to pass the house. >> but nothing on the details. this is what were considering, this is what were crafting. thats whats needed here. >> were basically back where we were at the first chuck and nancy meeting a week ago where the president has been clear he wants $5 billion to build this wall, and the democrat...

He needs buy in from the senate and democrats before they will vote. does that suggest to you this will be a long partial shutdown? >> yes, it does. i see nothing on the horizon to lead me to believe that this is going to end after christmas, unless the president does another reversal, another change of heart and essentially faces what seemed to be some pretty clear facts, some pretty easy math which is in this case mr. schumer is correct, there are not the votes to give the president the 5 bill...
