Americans than they are even offending illegal immigrants. furthermore, im in california. i know the heart break that our entire state and this entire country feels after watching one of our police officers shot and killed by an illegal immigrant right here in the state. manhunt still going on. that happened because of someone who had no legal right to be here. imagine if the democrats cared even half as much about securing the border as they do about gun control maybe something like that wouldn...

The president went off his meds and who knows what happened. >> authorities are investigating the death of an 8-year-old guatemalan boy in u.s. custody. >> certainly thats an absolutely tragic explanation. >> ronil singh was gunned down wednesday in the small town of newman. >> hes not coming back. >> if theres too many crises and chaos going on. >> the democrats need to step up to the plate, its up to them to stop the shutdown. >> we sat down with mr. schumer and gave him a number below five. i...

Put a wedge between schumer and pelosi. if pelosi were to compromise or somehow cut a deal and come to the presidents position, her position may be threatened herself. nancy pelosi expected to get that nod but shes in a strong negotiating position. anybody, knowing that on that day, on january 3, she has the votes, she has the power to pass something called a clean continuing resolution that would reopen the government, that would be a spending bill. the pressure really after thursday comes down...

Weeks and nancy pelosi and donald trump talked directly. >> the white house is saying that pelosi is the impetment to the negotiations but they havent spoken to her in three weeks now. if they do believe that, it would make sense to reach out to her and i think theyre trying to dri a wedge between schumer and pelosi. thats the game theyre trying to playwright now. >> i dont think theres daylight between those. >> there cant be and they worked over the last several years to make sure that there i...

>> right. >> because he got hyped by some of the right-wing base that he has. and so he had a tantrum and said, okay, im not going to support it, and government shut down. shutting down government is stupid. its costly. it undermines morale and undermines the confidence of the economy. it undermines the confidence of the international community and america as a stable leader. >> i want to talk about some of the tweets but two factual points. when was the last time there was outreach to house dem...

The votes in the house to pass money for the wall, really got him reengaged in the fight i think she will look very much in control when she gets behind that podium and she calls for that vote and she will not bring anything to the floor unless she knows she has the votes and she and schumer are like an old married couple. they can finish each others sentences. so he knows what he will do. >> its romantic, eleanor. >> i dont know that its romantic. >> but your anlage. you said married couple. >>...

Yesterday. that conversation indicated she had not heard from the president. that may not be accurate, so i want to make it clear that im not sure of that. but she did not mention the fact that she had talked to the president. >> this $2.5 billion offer that was apparently extended on saturday and rejected, does that number sound like it was about right to you based on your understanding? >> based upon what mr. mulvaney said. ill rely on his veracity in y saying thats what the figure was. >> is ...

Of the base as his political strategy? >> hes always been hostage to the base, elise. from the beginning of this presidency. every time he thought he had a meet with pelosi and schumer in the first year of the administration. made a compromise. and then went back on it because he got backlash from the base. hes always been most afraid of losing his closest and strongest supporters. and very susceptible to manipulation by people who tell him if you dont do this, youre going to lose them. he hears...

So than senator schumer. the leader for the democrats in the senate. but the reality, as you point out is that nancy pelosi was strengthened by that meeting that she and schumer had in the oval office a couple weeks ago when she took the presidents lunch, ate it right in front of him in front of the tv cameras, walk eed out, became an interne meme. shes been elevated and strengthened by that and this president who has been forced to stay in washington for the most part over the holidays has been...

Knowing it will be kicked back to them. so everything stays the same, and just because the majority shifts in the house doesnt mean it necessarily changes on january 3rd. the real question is not will this wait until the new year. its how long after the new year could it go? >> yikes, i was asking the wrong question last night, i now see. on that point, i wonder what the predwas saying last night. yesterday, he blamed in speaking about this in front of troops, he blamed nancy pelosi for standing...
