Except for members of coast guard. the coast guard announced the work force will be paid on december 31st through a deal with the trump administration and dhs. president trump is tweeting about it. he said great work by my administration over what he calls the schumer shutdown. theres been talk on the senate side about trying to work out a deal that would include funding for border security along with immigration measures and a fix for daca. all those people brought here through no fault of thei...

Jujitsu by lindsey graham. did you catch when he said we want funding for a wall/border security/a fence, a really long line you drag your foot in the sand for a couple thousand miles. >> thats a debate between he and the president and others, between what will it be. >> exactly. it allows them to declare victory by simply changing the definition of what they were demanding. never changing the original demand, but changing the def fig of what it is. making it less than it originally was. very cl...

The wall, the more pelosi is focused on this fight instead of the investigation. why do you think thats coming out now? >> if she focuses on this fight for a day or a couple of days or a week, thats not going to detract from investigations. theyre going to take time to staff those up anyway. so i mean thats -- thats apples and oranges. one has nothing to do with the other. i must say, i do think nancy pelosis dare to president trump to -- questioning whether he had the votes in the house to pass...

Wall, the funding, the shutdown is somehow going to move her off of her agenda and to be a check on power, a check on this administration, theyre deluding themselves. >> thats where this debate does get rather personal because she is basically staring down donald trump saying i just won a 40-year record blue wave victory, dont you know im speaker and hes looking back at her and saying dont you know im loco and were all waiting to see who wins that staring contest. >> right, right, and schumer th...

They are protecting mrs. pelosi. >> shes unwilling to do anything until she gets her speakership. >> i talked to some of the smartest reporters on the hill today and say this isnt the case. theres not daylight between schumer and pelosi on this. why do you think the white house is going down this road? you can see what they are trying to do but why? >> i see what they are trying to do. i serve with mick mulvaney and hes extremely smart. they have the team in place to get to the finish line and d...

Billion in it. so at this point, there needs to be a negotiation. it needs to be frankly, it needs to be a four corner negotiation. mcconnell, schumer, pelosi, and ryan. although of course thats transitioning. but it needs to be a four corner discussion. ultimately, it is about the president. he needs to make up his mind. i suspect mitch mcconnell will be prepared to just keep the government funded as he did with that bill. hes happy to do that. the question is, the president has shifted his pos...

This is the "washington post"s take on this. they write, mcconnell is home in kentucky. the senators spokes american don stewart says it is up to president trump and democrats to come up with the deal to end the stalemate over funding for trumps border waum. in other words, in mcconnells view, it is not on him. congressman, he was initially in favor of this continuing resolution, the senate did pass it before it went to a quick death in the house. should the majority leader be a little bit more ...

Democrats projected and talks do appear to still be at a standstill. the white house is also adopting a new tactic, which is to try to create distance between senate minority leader chuck consumsch and the next house speaker nancy pelosi. schumer might be willing to cut a deal for the shutdown but pelosi, who is yet to have the speakership race is not willing to accept a compromise and thats why they say the government remains closed. and there is little incentive to vote on trumps terms because...

Democrats say they got a daca fix in exchange it wasnt just the wall in and of itself. dan, i remember john kerry being for the war in iraq before he was against it sounds like schumer was for the wall before he was against it. >> ed, theres a reason that the democrats have had this evolution and im using the air quote into open borders advocates. thats what theyre. lets not mistake this for anything else. they have lost in droves working class voters. they have in the united states. what they n...

Call identity.de youve got geezers, bernie and joe biden, old white men in amo party who seem to want something more than an exotic free storm about it. >> i dont know that any of america is exotic, whether you are black american or white american. >> mark: but people talking about alexandria boccaccio cortez, shes a young latina. its you guys who are interested in these category identities. >> we were excited about her because shes young, and the other guy, crowley, was out of touch with his ba...
