Sentence before she was interrupted by schumer and nancy pelosi. they stayed on script almost like they had written a script. they went through 6 bills and not do anything with homeland security. >> what should our take away be from that, congressman? is this about border security? is it about money? is it about the change of leadership about to happen and waiting until after that? what is this standoff really about? >> it is not about money because we have to appropriate within the dollar figur...

Of persuasion by president trump will make her give money nor the border wall. if somebody throws out the grand bargain of the dreamers and she talked about them in her speech, if somebody throws about the bargain of getting the daca in, she has to listen, right? >> i dont know, trace. i think this government shut down could go on for months. both sides have made it clear that theyre not willing to compromise or budge. of course, trump is going to get the blame from the democrats and pelosi and ...

Harry reid, he was their leader, where chuck schumer? >> i cant speak for democrats. im not sure which one they see as better. i think it is fairly normal and human for harry reid to suddenly retire at the most interesting time in american presidential history. this crazy pivotal moment, the way he described trump as this very weird commander in chief. suddenly hes out of the fray. he doesnt have the same power and hes watching schumer be a little light order trump than he would be. and he said ...
