Admitting it. that s dangerous job john boehner is playing. it s up to him at some point to give in. there are those who would be willing to pass a clean stop fund gap bill but keep it open where they could talk about the old rule, dollar-for-dollar cuts if you want to go up on an increase in the debt ceiling, you have to cut as many in spendings as obama care is implemented and goets through its implementation. talking about this and whether the government stays open and the piecemeal bills to keep the parks open is really not going to work for republicans, though that s what john boehner is saying today. he s saying let s stay on message. let s not back down. let s see how this unwinds. we re going to watch this play out. on obama care, based on the people you talk to at the white house, are they as confident privately as they expressed publicly today? no. ....
Good evening. why don t we take it a step at a time here. first the shutdown. how long does it last? well, that s interesting, bill. in speaking with house republicans last night and again today, many of them were surprised that john boehner was willing to actually shut the government down. they didn t thing he would. they thought he d walk right up to it and it would be short and sweet. today we woke up to a new reachlt conservatives are pushing him to stand hold the line here and possibly even continue this until the debt ceiling deadline of october somewhere between october 17th and october 24th, which is a very high-stakes gamble. it would appear that appears to be the strategy. in other words, why go for a deal now when you re going to have to negotiate again in 16 days, right? part of the problem, bill, is they never had a plan for this. shutting down the government is extremely unpopular, even with people who don t like obama c e care. now they don t have a plan for th ....

Because of he looks weak, the border will be overrun. but he also wants to show compassion. he acknowledged house republicans last night and that urgent meeting after knowing the party was facing political pressure from those images on the border. the executive order keeps families together while in custody, and they will follow a request for the central district of california to modify the settlement agreement in flora s sessions in a manner that would submit the secretary. that s about the pendency of criminal proceedings for improper removal or any other immigration proceedings. that is interesting that a california judge said that kids were being held widespread deplorable conditions. so the remedy was they could only be detained with their ....
Minnesota, the northern tip here in duluth where jobs have been affected by the loss of the steel industry. all of his trade and tariff talk was overshadowed by the immigration talk. it is one of the reasons the white house knew they had to do something. i am told by a top white house official the president came to this realization after meeting the house republicans last night. he knew he would be unable to get beyond those images. and of course the family pressure as well from melania trump and ivanka trump. but the question now, wolf, is what happens next? the president is still pushing house republicans to vote for a bill that includes his border wall. very unclear if that is going to pass or not. but they at least have this behind them as a new round of potential lawsuits could begin on this new executive order. i m sure they will. jeff zeleny in duluth for us, thank you. after the president s clear reversal, it s not clear how, when or if families that are currently separated ....
