Like demeanor -- should he intervene? >> to say what? theyre going at it. and what would he have added at that point, really? it was between the president -- and all three came out winners. i really believe that. trump is standing firm for something that was very important for him for the election and his base but also the nation. this immigration and the lack of a border basically is really big issue. you see it in the polls, too. >> we do have a border. we have a very strong border. >> well, w...

The dynamic of this lame duck congress of people wanting to get home, the president will be a big player in this that republicans and democrats will come together because if there was votes for $5 billion to build the wall, republicans would take the vote. they dont have the votes in the house among republicans and they still hold a significant majority there. but i think between mcconnell and schumer and pelosi and paul ryan, they will come to an agreement that kicks the ball down the road and ...

And you saw a dynamic well see as pe low lhw -- pelosi as the cop and schumer the good cop. he was like i cant stop this woman but i can give you an off ramp. i think thats the dynamic well see over the next two years. >> term lichmits. whats the deal with that? >> reporter: bottom line, it doesnt matter if it passes within the democratic caucus or not. pelosi has promised to abide by it regardless and shes secured in public the commitment of seven of those anti-pelosi rebels to vote for her. sh...

On the floor that they dont want to vote on, and its going to -- they wanted to quietly make the deal and sometimes transparency is not the disinfectant everybody thinks it is. >> what is the worst thing that can happen the -- >> what? >> well, we will -- look, i will say that schumer -- pelosi wanting to shut down the cameras shows you she wanted to have a real discussion behind closed doors, and the presidents statement yesterday morning before the meeting made it looks like he was willing to ...

About all of the stories about can a president be indicted, a sitting president, and how close were coming to a felon -- or felony indictment or impeachment and all of a sudden hes got his two stars of this reality tv show called the donald trump show, which were going to be nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and theyre right there, and he -- and he can get into a shouting match and he knows that that is going to dominate. i mean, thats going to be the most exciting thing that everybodys going to be...

Shutting down, and im going to shut it down for border security. >> now, we did a fact check on everything the president said there. youll see it online. go to our twitter site and youll see it. he knows, though, the president, that a shutdown over the border wall will fire up his base. hes actually betting that shutting it down is a win. raises a question. how did the democrats counter that? do they even have a plan to fix our broken immigration system? i know they say they do, but when are we ...

With schumer, pelosi, and the president? >> no, i did not. i find it incomprehensible that we have a president of the united states, the leader of our government, who wants to shut down the government, impact the livelihood of some 750,000 federal workers and seven government agencies, which impact millions of americans. i think its totally absurd and disgraceful. >> whats wrong with the move of saying what the democrats say quietly, which is were in favor of border security. were funding stuff ...

>> but i think that was smart, charlie. i do. i think i would have just. >> on pence part? >> what was smart? >> to sit there. >> why be drawn into that? >> the answer i think, pence is was smart to keep his mouth shut. schumer and pelosi should have you said mr. president, youre in charge of the government till the end of the year. you got the votes. pass the bill. >> she said that. >> if you run into trouble, you know how to find us. and not say anything else. >> listen, i got to do this, fran...

What he does is about distraction. >> yeah, but if hes going to do that he should bring his "a" game because he got fact checked left and right. >> and you could see schumer. schumer is a guy who has had a few arguments on a new york city street. trump is not the only one who can play that game. >> schumer was just like, okay, okay. i cant believe i just got you to say that in the oval office. seth, you have a new piece out tonight in "the new york times." you say the problem for mr. trump is th...

Pelosi will be the speaker. a lot said she went in there and took on the president and looked like a grown up. >> i think the demise of nancy pelosi has been overblown, but she helped herself yesterday. i think the difference between this shutdown and the last shutdown, is lets not pretend donald trump had a strategy yesterday, and he got baited into this, and thats not good strategy to take the bait from schumer and pelosi. i dont think he understands the poll of republicans wanting to kick thi...
