>> bill: lots of her -- lots of his supporters as well. she wasnt alone in this. its a big failure on his part speaking to his base. i dont think moderate republicans care that much but the red meat stuff. >> bill: mark meadows says its a big fumble. veto it if you have to. is it a fumble or a creative way to make it happen ultimately? >> part of it is rhetoric. the democrats have to tell their base we arent giving trump his wall. schumer is saying well do enhancement. a lot of fencing there now...

For the border, for border security, or hes shutting the whole thing down. thats one i heard. no, the president wants you to know that its money or nothing. and if it is nothing, he shuts it down. so there you have it. >> were a few minutes from a hastily called press conference from pelosi and schumer on this. is that why we could head towards a shutdown. >> i think there is the obvious narrative that hes -- hes the conservative republicans on fox and people like limbaugh want him to stand up f...

He is the president who understands the government and politics least. you cant be a good negotiator if you dont understand the thing youre negotiating over and you have no idea what the actual rules of the game are because you dont even know what the game is. so game, set, match. pelosi and schumer will be able to run rings around him for the next two years because they actually understand what happens on capitol hill, in washington, in politics, policy and he does not. >> and donald trump told...

And in the previous instance it would be bad for him. hes not a bad negotiator, hes the worst negotiator. hes the worst negotiator in the history of person politics, and the fact hes the worst has everything to do with the fact he is the president who understands the government and politics least. you cant be a good negotiator if you dont understand the thing youre negotiating over and you have no idea what the actual rules of the game are because you dont even know what the game is. so game, se...

Again -- >> bill barr looks like the least of donald trumps problems. >> in some ways. >> but schumer today said no. he said you need to pick a new nominee. >> you work for the guy that nicknamed him mr. chaos candidate. i remember that. i mocked your former boss a bit there. thinking of dom deluise in "cannonball run." captain chaos. this is the leader of the free world acting this way. >> you look at the three legged stool of people that are trump skeptical, tax cuts and the economy, gorsuch o...

And once he announced in the oval office, im going to own the shutdown, that really was the worst bluff in the history of poker playing. thats the problem president trump has. hes a bad negotiator, he doesnt understand policy, and he is going to find it really hard to go toe to toe with pelosi and schumer the next few years. >> threatening a shutdown for the wall. shutdown is his only threat. its his only bargaining chip he knows, and hes afraid to use it. and if he does use it, it will destroy ...

Democrats to stop that is key. and look, nancy pelosi is a very, very skilled player. but lets give credit to where credit is do, she is playing poker against the guy who turns all his cards up and tries to bluff. and once he nounces in the oval office, im going to own the shutdown, that really was the worst bluff in the history of poker playing. thats the problem president trump has. hes a bad negotiator, he doesnt understand policy, and he is going to find it really hard to go toe to toe with ...

Their position here hasnt changed. you have the president saying he would take ownership of a possible shutdown. theres no reason for democrats to show their hand here at all. with the senate having already passed something yesterday, democrats, schumer and pelosi can sit back and see what, if anything, the republicans can agree to among themselves before they offer any of their cards at all. to go to kimberlys point, the idea that this is the presidents top legislative priority, but it hasnt be...

Republican allies have decided were going to put up a good fight, stand here, make a stand, at least look like were fighting for this and not take the short-term cr and maybe theyll sign it once this fails tomorrow right up against the deadline. but if they dont, we are looking at a shutdown, and the president has already rolled himself on this because last week in that meet with pelosi and schumer he said with all the cameras in the room, i will proudly take -- what did he say? the mantel. >> h...
