do we know whether the president is going to florida at the request of mitch mcconnell and paul ryan in the belief that this can only work with him out of town? you know, mitch mcconnell, as this gets to be longer and longer days and they keep talking and talking about this and it s not getting resolved and they keep trying to get the democrats to cave on the dreamers. mitch mcconnell keeps talking about he has no idea what the president wants. so it would be helpful if he knew what the president wants, but he has no clue. the president doesn t understand the significance of the majority leader saying that. one fact is, no republican leader in history has ever stood on the senate floor and said, i don t know what the republican president wants. you won t find that in the congressional record anywhere. the reason they use the shutdown willy nilly, i think
getting records through grand jury subpoenas. it s fascinating to see a putin-inspired operation funding the concept of the right to bear arms. that every person in america has a right to a gun. that is something vladimir putin would never allow in russia. he s opposed to that idea. you have fringe groups in russia who are pushing this right to bear arms movement that isn t popular in russian society. the average russian says they don t want looser gun controls. so this is something very unusual would have gotten russian government funding. and if it did it, if it gave money to give to the nra, that would be extremely telling. were the negotiations continue between the committee and steve bannon about testimony, they ve decided to delay his testimony to figure
tomorrow. he wants to put as much pressure on the democrats that plan on voting against the bill, he wants to put as much pressure as possible on the democrats in an effort to make them flip and in effort to make them look responsible for what could and looks like could be a potentially inevitable shout don if they don t get anything done tomorrow. is there any indication chuck schumer is considering allowing this to go to a vote, in other words, shopping the 60-vote threshold, letting it go to a majority vote and then on the bet that possibly the republicans can t even have those votes for the majority? there is no indication that would happen. seems to bed a vat katd advocai idea. he doesn t want to extend this another month. he wants to have these negotiations happen as soon as
you ve seen play out in the white house between president trump and officials, this is remarkable. we saw him go up to the hill and try to legislate a package to save the day. this is the least experienced chief of staff in history that has had such meetings ever. least experienced and the least interesting in learning some of the critical parts of the job about how congress works, the different bodies work. there are stories about him refusing to talk to former chief of staffs who have talked to him, to help him learn the ropes, both democrats and republicans. so i think this is a man who believes he knows everything he needs to know, doesn t have a lot to learn, but nothing can be further from the truth. he has very little idea how the process works. it s a shame he s not go doing more to learn what he doesn t know.
white house. when the president of mexico got tough with him, he had no idea what to do or say next. he had no idea what to say, so that was it. donald trump was beaten in that phone call by the president of mexico, humiliated by the president of mexico. so now donald trump is going to shut down the government because the president of mexico shut him down. we now know the real truth of what donald trump was saying on the campaign trail was, mexico will pay for the wall, if mexico doesn t pay for the wall, i will shut down the government to get congress to pay for the wall with your taxpayer money. the president is ceding our c sovereignty to mexico. the president is allowing the government to be shoout down because mexico did not pay for the wall. no president has given a foreign
