Democrats want a deal for socalled dreamers now and theyre starting the blame game. Real deadlines are occurring this friday. And the real deadlines that occur this friday are our men and women in uniform and Childrens Health insurance in many states that will run out of money.

David our first guest is a member of the Freedom Caucus who say that the republicans dont have the votes for the current stopgap measure. Joining me ron desantis, a member of several committees and he is now also a governor. Congratulations for your candidacy. Let me talk about i mean, schumer was straight out. He said its going to fall on republicans shoulders. Heres what representative slaughter just said, and im quoting, if there is a shutdown, our fingerprints arent on it. I mean this is like a criminal saying im just about to commit a crime but ive shaved off my fingerprints so you wont be able to track me town. Down. Youre right. Heres the thing. Weve passed bills to we did that months ago. The senate is dysfunction nal. Theyre not able to do the task of being in the congress. We are where we are. I think it would be absolutely hazardous for democrats to block funding our troops, for our military equipment simply because theyre demanding benefits for Illegal Immigrants. It just shows you that they care more about Illegal Immigrants than they do about our american military. I think we should call their bluff. I think a lot will end up folding. But if they dont and you have Chuck Schumer filibustering for the military because hes worried about more benefits for the Illegal Immigrants, i think that would blow up in their face. David i dont know what they want in their heart of hearts. But i do know one thing. I dont know what they feel about daca or a budget deal or anything. But i know that above Everything Else what they care about is november 2018. They want to retake the house. That is their firm goal and they think if they had come to any kind of agreement with this president they wont be able to do it. They are convinced the only way to retake the house is to completely separate themselves and isolate in their eyes the president of the United States. Thats why there wont be any deal in my mind. Am i right or wrong . I think youre reading it right. I think schumer and pelosi decided, look, the energy in our base, the far left, they dont want trump. They want us to resist trump. Thats the easiest route for us to agai gin up the base to retae house. I think its an interesting theory but ultimately it wont work. Look whats going on. You actually see results versus their rhetoric. Nancy pelosi two months ago were saying that our tax bill was amageddon. It was the worst thing ever. Whats happening. You have bonuses being shelled out, money coming back, you have Companies Moving here. You have apple going to invest an ungodly sum of money into the United States. And so voters are going to be in a position where theyre going to see that. The democrats have said no no no. They said all of these bad things were going to happen and yet the economy is strong, were much better internationally than we were when the president took office. So i think theyre going to do what theyre going to do but its not going to be effective. David they feel theyre protected and to a certain extept they are by the overwhelming 95 of the press corps who will be their echo chamber. Rush limbaugh think its the other way around that the democrats are the echo chamber of the media. However it works, they feel like they have that as a second front to protect the flank. As we saw yesterday, i think the president and the president s staff is on to that. And what the president did last tuesday by opening up the room to the cameras for that meeting on immigration, which we saw a very reasonable man trying to come to a deal. Yesterday we had a very reasonable doctor come on the scene, bipartisan doctor, he had worked with democratic and republican president s in the past saying this man is healthy and completely insane. You saw the media go insane by that suggestion and starting asking about whether he was an alcoholic or a drug addict or whether he was obese, et cetera. So the public is beginning to see, i think, that all of these complaints about trump being at the root of all of the evil in the world is nonsense. And they remember eight years of barack obama where that same White House Press corps which berated that doctor, which is always yelling about trump, they were basically the palace guard for barack obama. They protected him. They did not investigate key things. They did not hold him accountable. That is the role that they had. And so when people look at how low esteem the Washington Press corps has on our country, its because people see they blaifd one way with obama and the other way with trump. But youre right. The difference is that if schumer forces a shutdown, trump controls the executive branch. Hes not going to shut down the world war ii memorial. He can shake the veterans hands when he goes out there. The president has the good hand here. David it was within president obamas interest to slow up things that people cared about in the government, which he did, sometimes going out of his way to do that and its not in President Trumps interest. Quickly on the Mueller Probe and whats happening there. Is there any interest and i have asked a lot of people this in congress on the part of the mueller team to investigate either fusion gps, the whole trump dossier mess or the iranian one deal or anything other than still trying to find this mysterious collusion between trump and the russians . Theres no indication of that. I mean you look at all of the attorneys that they have there. A lot of them are hostile to President Trump. I dont see them wanting to go and basically discredit their own socalled collusion investigation. Because when you start doing fusion gps or you start looking at that, you see all of these questions about what was going on. And it doesnt look good and it really calls into question the legitimacy of the collusion investigation from day one. In uranium one theyre not doing that. We pushed that in the congress. Were still pushing it. We did get doj brought a few indictments recently and i think youre going to see more from that. I know from what were doing, theres more to come. David i was disappointed to hear that you might be leaving the halls of congress but probably the people of florida will be happy that youre running. Do you get the endorsement of rick scott . Expwhr i hop i hope so. Hes done a great job. But im going to be begging people like you to buy property. Were going to get a lot of new yorkers to come down. David this winter in particular my wife is more interested in florida than ever before but my job is here in new york. Thank you for coming. I appreciate you being here. Were coming right back with a lot more. Please stay with us. The white house demands the dems put America First ahead of their proam necessity agenda. Democrats need to decide to come here and do their jobs and theyre going to govern and put our National Security ahead of their own personal political agendas or theyre not. We take up the looming government shut down with rnc chairwoman. Senator jeff flake under fire for insulting President Trump. His fellow republicans wondering why wont the rhino go away. Well have his latest desperate attack against the president coming up next. David there must be something in the Arizona Water thats making rhinos go mad right now. Both members of the grand Canyon Senate delegation blasting President Trump using inflammatory language. Retiring senator jeff flake comparing the commander in chief to a murderous totalitarian dictator. Our own president uses words infamously spoken by Joseph Stalin to describe his enemies. It bares noting that so fraught with malice that the key forbeads its use. Were not in a fake news era as bashar assad says. Were in an era in which the authoritarian impulse is reasserting itself to challenge free people and free societies everywhere. David senator john mccain seemingly echoing those remarks criticizing the president s criticism of the National Left wing media in an oped in the Washington Post writing, quote, these efforts are being closely watched by foreign leaders who are already using his words as cover as they silence and shutter one of the key pillars. Joining me, ronna mcdonnell. We dont have to go far to find out what you think about all of this. You had a tweet out saying, quote, senator flake turn on the news. Its wall to wall with biased coverage against potus. He has ever right to push back comparing the leader of the free world to murderous dictators is absurd. Youve gone too far. He wasnt reading your tweets. I think we should be talking about Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi and the dang they would do this the country if they took the reign reins of the senate a. The media is thriving. Its alive and well in this country. The president supports free speech even when its a media p. Comparing him as a dictator is going too far. David he said the truth itself is under assault, his words, truth is under assault. And led me to wonder where was he during the Obama Administration and we put together politifact, leaning to the left, put together a long list, over 50 examples of where president obama lied about everything from obamacare in which he keep your doctor, wont add a dime to the receive pit. He lied about the deficit. Called isis the jv team. On and on. Where is the fair and balanced part of senator flakes speech . Well, and going boo back to president obama, look at benghazi. There were so many instances that covered for coverage and scrutiny. Tip the scales in favor of President Trump. Lets be fair and balanced. But to say that this president doesnt revere free speech or our constitution is patently false. We have a media that spends 90 of their coverage negatively on this president and thats totally out of balance to where our country is today. Look at the unemployment at a 17 year low, Consumer Confidence at a 16year high. Look at the military getting their first raise in over a decade. Isis is on the run. I can list thing after thing after thing as to how our economy is doing, how our country is doing better under this presidency. But were not hearing it day to day in the news. And i hear it all of the time when i travel. People come to me saying why dont they report fairly on this president. Thats the discussion we should be having today. David how many papers are going to focus on the 300point gain on the dow. I have to correct something that flake said hes talking about Everything Else putting out lies. He talked about President Trump using laws and regulations to stifle the truth. Do you have any idea what he was talking about . When has President Trump ever used a law to try to stifle the truth . I am not familiar with any instance of that. What i do know is that this president is cutting 22 regulations for every one thats being created and it has unleashed our economic revival. Were just going to continue to do that. This is a president who is doing things and delivering for the american people. People in my home state of michigan who were suffering, left behind by the washington elite. And he came saying, hes deliveg every single day. Im so thrilled with whats happened in this first year. And i only am more excited about whats more to come. David ronna, i got to ask you one question about your uncle, mitt romney. You guys dont discuss your plans with each other, which is a great idea to keep family peace. But if your uncle does run for the senate in utah and he does win. Youre head of the rn clrks. Will you give him particularly in regard to how he talks about President Trump . If he asks for advice ill give him advice. But my advice is focus on the democrats. Our country suffered under a democratic leadership. We saw it under barack obama and Chuck Schumer. Were coming up under a hotly contested midterm and we need to keep unified and keep our eyes on the american people. Every day im out there raising money and putting a ground game in place to keep our majorities in the midterms. Thats what every republican should be focused on, along with touting the great accomplishments weve made this first year under President Trump. David you have been very successful at raising money. Democrats have not been as successful. Ronna mcdaniel, great to see you 247 than be sure to vote in tonights poll.
