Calculation. its a self-interested calculation, which is, you know, can i displease the base and do the things i need to do including defending for impeachment going forward. >> he does seem nervous about the shutdown now more so than he did a week ago. listen to his response to my colleague hallie jacksons question. >> are you still proud to own this shutdown? >> well, you know, i appreciate the way you say that, but once -- im very proud of doing what im doing. i dont call it a shutdown. i cal...

Give. they come together and pass something the taxpayers dont understand calling a continuing resolution. kick the can down the road. this one, though, as you point out, is particularly fraught. and lets think about the atmospherics, maybe even the optics tomorrow in the oval office. president is used to mcconnell and ryan, and hes used to having two members of the home team in charge. >> right. >> hes got schumer and pelosi tomorrow, kelsey, its just going to add something new to the mix. >> y...

Were going to be working very hard over the weekend, and well see if we can do something. 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 words. >> mr. president, my second question, sir, on federal workers, sir. mr. president, my second question on federal workers, sir. >> one second. one second, please. >> maybe the same question. thank you, mr. president. two questions. to follow up on daca, are you ope...

This, he cant give in because it would show weakness. nancy pelosi has said that she believes that the wall has become a symbol for the presidents manhood, and whether or not thats true just on the pure politics of it, each of them has only a political imperative to keep digging in at this point, and i think it will be harder and harder for each side to come out of their corner and tip a toe into the pool of compromise. >> our reporting that we said in the opening there is the president told sch...

No money for the wall. >> hes not going to sign a bill that doesnt have money for the wall. if he gives in now, thats the end of 2016 in terms of being a decent president. thats probably the end of his presidency. donald trump made a promise to the american people. >> there you go. very far apart on the issue right now. we got some reporting yesterday out of that meeting that was in the situation room. it was billed as a border security briefing. and what democrats want to do is today they are p...

Critical of this president it becomes a media feeding friendsy. they love the anti-trump narrative within our own party. and i think there is other things we can talk about as republicans. we can talk about schumer and pelosi being unwilling to open the government because of border security. very reasonable measures talk about medicare for all and how that would bankrupt our country. there is a lot of things we can do to take on republicans. republican voters dont want to see us infighting. that...
