>> now i work too many hours to pay close attention. >> the way he sees it, voters should elect more like trump to congress. >> will it change your outlook or support of the president in 2020? >> no, i guess it just makes me more convinced that we need more outciders in washington. >> not all outsiders say they support the president. some object to him because of his personal faults and they will likely do in 2020 what they do in 2016 which is simply not vote, unlike other trump strongholds wher...

Operation is inaccurate. white house press secretary said, quote, cnns reporting is not only incorrect but the potential to put lives in danger. the removal happened at a time of wide concern of mishandling of the intelligence by trump and the administration. those concerns described to me by five sources who served in the trump administration, the intelligence agencies and congress. i should also note that cnn is withholding key details about the spy to reduce the risk of this assets identifica...

Lawful and productive american lives. this would be a grand bargain that would give both sides something to brag about. this is something that has been on the table in the past. it fell apart. people like lindsey graham on the republican side, tim kaine on the democratic side have said in the past maybe is this something we can do. but the leadership has so far said not now. what do you think? >> i think -- i mean, the president cannot be counted on for any type of deal. i mean, he had this befo...

Overdoses. much of it is coming across the border from mexico. we know that southern command and northern command, ive served on the armed services committee, are desperately short of funds to stop the drugs coming in. and so maybe there could be an additional plus to work on stopping those drugs from coming in, on working at the border crossings where those drugs are coming in. but there wont be funding for the wall. >> very interesting. so you are serving in your last few days of congress righ...

Weeks ago said they did not support shutting down the government over this border wall. so no one wants the government shutdown over this wall. so i thought this "washington post" op-ed, i was hooked. donald trump is throwing a temper tantrum. if you give into the bully, the temper tantrum, you have to give in every time after that. no give. >> thats the key. it just cant be about the wall. and thats why i want to keep coming back to congress and president, do your job. comprehensive immigration...

Lot of nancy pelosi legislation, anyway. so i actually think the drama for me for the next six to nine months in washington is senate republicans. do they -- do they stick with trump on everything? do they begin to break? do you get a triangulation with republicans, senate republicans, house democrats and trump? does trump try to triangulate against them? he could sit down with nancy pelosi and they could agree on an infrastructure bill that busts the budget, which trump has no concerns about, a...
