democrats to blink. >> i find china, frankly, in many ways to be far more honorable than crying chuck and nancy. i really do. i think that china is actually much easier to deal with than the opposition party. >> and we begin there with the president headed to the border this hour as both he and the democrats look much more interested in making points, not deals. talks to end the government shutdown have evaporated, that with the president's bye bye, closing the door on the latest attempt to break the border impasse. nancy pelosi calls it a temper tantrum of the president unwilling to make a deal. republican lawmakers are suggesting democrats are the unreasonable ones. >> the buck stops with everybody. they could solve this problem in literally 15 minutes. we could be back. we could have border security.
