Tweets. what are you hearing from white house sources today? >> well, dana, this is a white house trying to change the narrative of what happened yesterday. yesterday unfolded in such a dramatic fashion that the president now seems irked by the perception that he was angry, that he stormed out of the room with pelosi and with schumer, and white house aides are now doubling down on that saying that is all false that this was a calm deliberative decision on the presidents part to reframe the conve...

Schumer and others that were at least reminiscent of what was said this morning. what it came down to i think was this, this president cannot come through with an infrastructure plan that he promised in the campaign. mick mulvaney not in the white house the last time we met three weeks ago, i think blew his top when he heard the president say $2 trillion in infrastructure. and made it clear today that the president was going to walk away from any effort to build americas infrastructure. >> and i...

The constitution also gives congress a specific power over impeachment. why did they do it? they didnt say the president controls that power or can bully congress out of that power. what they said was congress, you have the responsibility ultimately to preserve this democracy and you better do it. >> this gets to the deeper issue, which the speaker and caucus are facing, which is basically pelosi i think in the standoff and its true about the shut down and with schumer has gotten the upper hand....

They also happen to come to that meeting fresh from a meeting about an uprising to impeach him. chuck schumer said what greets the democrats in the house would make your jaw drop. we heard what came after. but now lets find out more from someone who was actually in the room where it happened. the democratic whip of the senate, dick durbin. senator durbin thank you so much for being on "prime time" on an important night. >> good to be with you. >> so it came to a head. nancy pelosi said congress ...

Secondly statements have been made by speaker pelosi and schumer and others that were at least reminiscent of what was said this morning. what it came down to i think was this, this president cannot come through with an infrastructure plan that he promised in the campaign. mick mulvaney not in the white house the last time we met three weeks ago, i think blew his top when he heard the president say $2 trillion in infrastructure. and made it clear today that the president was going to walk away f...

At play in this most unusual relationship. >> he supports pelosi. he supports schumer. he supports clinton. >> got along with everybody. >> i feel sorry for him. >> i even prayed for him, but then i prayed for the united states of america. >> i think the losers are nancy pelosi and chuck schumer because now they own obamacare. >> hes been a jobs loser, infrastructure, a number of issues, trade, et cetera. plenty of areas to find a lot of common ground. >> i give her a lot of credit. she works ve...
