that s what troubles so many people is that you have a special counsel mueller and his people looking at russian interference in our election, looking at any potential collusion between russia and the campaign. and then you have oh, here is crime here relate today his personal attorney and does that trouble you that an investigation into russian collusion has turned into something altogether different? i think when these investigations happen they go in one direction, but if they find crimes along the way, they re going to pursue that as well. and i think that what we are finding and learning about the involvement of president trump way before became president with russians, certainly leads one to believe that those relationships continued. so if they were negotiating a deal for a trump hotel in russia during the presidential campaign, you have to look at that. dagen: thank you,
again and then we have to go through it in congress. dagen: and say that again, you want to see what special counsel bob mueller comes up with. yes. dagen: because there s that republicans want to shut down the investigation. there are some that do want to shut it down. i want it to finish and wrap up pretty soon, by the way, it s been two years, let s see what he has and we can make a decision at that point, but right now there s people ready to impeach him and people that say shut it all down. let s get answers and make a decision, i ve seen no evidence so far that the president is guilty of any russian collusion. dagen: congressman, good to see you. we cover a lot of ground. see you soon. congressman kinzingar. we look at the paris protests.
mid-terms that we want to be about, we want congress to be about our business. they want it on health care. they want congress to do their job. all of the things elected officials are supposed to do. and the republican committee you saw the mid-terms go the way they went. but the mid-terms went great. for who? are you joking the average loss in the senate is 2.5 seats for the president in the first mid-term. what planet are you living on? dagen: i m going to say it s a disservice. they are proposing impeachment. dagen: this is what a divided government looks like doesn t it we ve got the democrats in the house and the republicans. you re coming back next hour i ll let you get away with that comment for now and madison and coming up we head back to paris where protesters are turning violent for a fourth weekend in a row. can you imagine this beautiful city on earth is shut down because of protests? stay with us.
could that showdown lead to a government shutdown right before christmas? joining me is california congress woman and the incoming black caucus chair. good morning, congresswoman. good morning. dagen: do you think that a battle over the border wall could lead to a government shutdown? i certainly hope it doesn t. it s completely unnecessary. there are several bills to pass, not just the one dealing with the border and those bills have been negotiated on a bipartisan basis. what needs to happen, we need to go ahead and pass the bills that would fund the overwhelming majority of the government and then one bill covering homeland security, we can do a continuing resolution, which means we keep the funding level the same and deal with this in the next congress. that s what we should do. and by the way, in that bill, there is funding for fencing related to the border to repair. the president wants an
