That would be a considerable shift for this president assuming that he -- that he is going to give up on this wall idea in some way. we dont have an understanding of what a down payment would be and what democrats would be willing to do, but i do this youre right that everyone is now looking for an off ramp. dont forget that a side drama today is democrats working on their appropriations bill for dhs. they dont want us to characterize is as a count er bill for the president, but saying you can h...

But -- >> but just to piggyback on that, i was talking to some white house officials yesterday. even though the president just on sfri safriday said he was no interested in doing this whole lindsey graham daca wall idea, people in the white house think all of a sudden he is interested in it again. this is a problem again, he keeps flip flopping. does he want to do a deal? does he not want to do a deal? thats why they dont trust him. some democrats are feeling some heat back home and do want to d...

They want to present differences between themselves and their rivals in the democratic party and present some affirmative vision for what they want to do but ultimately theyll have to prove to democratic voters they have a strategy because they were unable to do that in 2016. hes a difficult politician to campaign against. he has an ability to suck up all the oxygen and find the debate about him. >> theres some reason to believe hell try to pick his opponent by engaging in some of the combat wit...

Clear how the government gets reopened. what does he sign? what comes out of the house that the senate agrees to? so this looks worse almost by the day. >> and the degree to which he has miscalculated and misunderstood nancy pelosi at this early stage in the game is quite striking. in the first situation room meeting right after the first of the year before she became speaker, he said, once you get past the speaker election, once you get the gavel, youll be more willing to make a deal with us. a...

For those of us seeing those headlines and wondering what was behind this, its amazing to know this many months later that the fbi was actually taking those developments seriously enough to think that they needed to investigate them, and they still, as you pointed out, are the subject of the special counsel. >> now its muellers job. we now know that at least 16 trump official contacts, trump business orbit with russia during the campaign. we didnt know all that back then. we didnt know the presi...

Race mongering, and theres no way theyre going to give the president what he wants on this wall. i think the other point is the idea that you can have a president who would shut down the government and then gets what he wants. thats the kind of person that i think democrats and probably republicans dont want to set either. so the democrats are incredibly dug in on this. >> you wonder if the president has missed his opportunity for this. he came into office in the main promise on the border wall....

Comey. he revealed classified information to the foreign minister. if you go back to those days, were already investigating russian meddling. should we be worried? do we have to be worried about the president of the united states? >> well, right. and what my colleagues reporting describe, these are not idle questions the fbi agents sit around and sort of toss about. they had to have solid reasons for wondering these things. they dont just open a counterintelligence investigation because theyre m...

White house. my reporting shows that trump is in no rush to make appointments or nominations to most of these spots. why? because theres a thought in the oval office that these acting chiefs are more beholden to the president now than theyll ever be. its important in this moment if you are trying to squeeze $5.6 billion out of the pentagon, out of a jim mattis-less pentagon for a border wall between mexico and the u.s. >> also sounds a tad undemocratic. nia? >> i talked to a handful of democrats...

That the president has been having these meetings with putin. and hes been taking notes from interpreters, not legislate oth -- letting other people in the room. no detail of his face-to-face meetings with putin. if there is no reason to be concerned if there is nothing untoward, if putin doesnt have anything on him, why are his interactions with russia so clouded. why always these actions he takes that raise more questions? if you know that people are interested in whether you have a relationsh...
