And president of the national action network and jackie alemany with power up newsletter. charlie and philip are still here. we havent gotten to you guys, so well start with you. where are we? what is this moment? >> this moment essentially comes down to whether or not donald trump wants to give up on his assertion that he wants to see this wall built, right? i mean, this is the point that was just made -- >> well, its down to slats, right? >> exactly, yes, the steel slats, the beautifully artis...

There appears to be no end in sight for the government shutdown after the presidents lengthy press conference in the rose garden today. digging in his heels, president trump confirmed to reporters that he told senate minority leader chuck schumer that the shutdown could continue for months or even years. the president was also asked about his remarks from last month when he told democratic leaders that he would be proud to take responsibility for the shutdown. lets watch. >> are you still proud ...

I think its very ironic that he was standing in front of kevin mccarthy, a guy who was reported during the campaign to say there are two people on putins payro payroll, one of which is donald trump and mccarthy just has to stand there. but his argument made sense for a lot of reasons, but i think it goes back to his base. as long as his base loves him, he knows the republican senators arent going anywhere, and impeachment is a non threat. so it comes back to keeping the base happy, that keeps th...

Welcome back to "hardball." there appears to be no end in sight for the government shutdown after the presidents lengthy press conference in the rose garden today. digging in his heels, president trump confirmed to reporters that he told senate minority leader chuck schumer that the shutdown could continue for months or even years. the president was also asked about his remarks from last month when he told democratic leaders that he would be proud to take responsibility for the shutdown. lets wa...

The president actually isnt a very good dealmaker. the people who supported him said he was going to go to washington, he was a businessman who would apply business skills and a long history of deal-making to getting things done in washington, draining the swamp, et cetera, et cetera. anybody who knew the particulars and facts of his business history knew that he was repeatedly taken to the cleaner on a lot of significant deals. and the reason was because he didnt bone up on the facts, he lacked...

Trying to create it somehow. >> right. and he is trying to shift the narrative. now we can call it the schumer and pelosi. the problem is nancy pelosi outmaneuvered him in the meeting they had a few weeks ago. she walked him into that trap. he said yeah, ill own it. now he realizes this is real. we have hundreds of thousands of americans who are not getting paid. right? so his party is going to suffer pretty soon. obviously the winds of change will work against him. and so he is cornered. hes us...

He resisted. in fact, he said hed keep the government closed for a very long period of time, months or even years. thats where we are. >> absolutely i said that. i dont think it will, but i am prepared. im very proud of doing what im doing. i dont call it a shutdown. i call it doing what you have to do for the benefit and for the safety of our country. so you can call it whatever you want. you can call it the schumer or the pelosi or the trump shutdown, doesnt make any difference to me. just wor...

At some points he would say that he felt he had a productive meeting with democrats and he felt the shutdown could be over in days. then he would switch to saying, yes, he did tell chuck schumer and nancy pelosi that the shutdown could go on for years and he might have to use emergency powers to get this promised border wall built. the president has been saying the situation at the border is a national emergency since back in october. he hasnt declared it one since then. of course, that still is...

Years. most persons too, right? those two sources telling cnn the closed-door meeting was long, not because it was substantive or productive, but because the president was putting on the same kind of long-winded and frankly outrageous performance we saw later in the rose garden. president trump, he says hes proud of himself. >> im very proud of doing what im doing. i dont call it a shutdown. i call it doing what you have to do for the benefit and for the safety of our country. you can call it th...

About border security. it doesnt matter what they say. their new talking points are so different than ten years ago. today, its theres no problem, no problem. nobodys trying to pour into the country. on the other hand, theyre saying look at all the chaos trumps creating. theyre saying two totally different contradictory things. >> im going to help my friend out. he actually did say that trump did not support this shutdown. >> no, i didnt. >> heres the bottom line. >> federal workers -- >> this i...
