But could you compare camping trips . Because this one would win. All i want to do is enjoy nature and peace and quiet its not about winning. Its about helping people find a great rate even if its not with progressive. Ugh. Insurance. When i said peace and quiet, did you hear, talk more and disappoint me . Do do do do skiddly do do camping with the family [ flame whooshes ] good morning. Im Thomas Roberts in new york. 9 00 a. M. In the east, 6 00 a. M. Out west. 163 of the trump administration. The Health Care Battle spilling into the Holiday Weekend and the president has a new approach going your way. Is he to repeal without replacing. Not so fast. When the legislation is stalled. We have the white house requesting voter information in a fraud investigation. What does it mean for the admin
And washington anchor for bb c r world news america caddie kay is with us. John, there is so much the to talk about. It is so easy to get distracted. But i want to for a second talk about the fact that i think a lot of americans agreed with the republicans that Brett Kavanaugh deserved due process. You just cant say some guy did something and have nobody there verifying. Have one story after another story after another story coming out and not a Single Person to corroborate. And i think a lot of americans said, wait a second, thats not right. That doesnt fit my idea of fair play. Somebody should be able to face the accusers, there should be evidence, etcetera, etcetera. Thats a way, were a country with a rule of law. Then a week later, you have republicans running around saying lock up their political opponents. Now, i know they think this is all funny, but its really not. And it smacks of what happens in south american and banana republics and its goes against the very process that th
Acting secretaries awaiting confirmation. And with his chief of staff set to leave tomorrow, the list is only growing. And to the starting line. Much of 2019 is shaping up to be a look ahead to the 2020 race. Whos in, whos out. And will any republicans step up to challenge the president. A lot to get to this morning but we begin with whats at the heart of the fight thats keeping 800,000 federal workers without a paycheck. A new claim by President Trump, the biggest part of Border Security is the wall, he says. Not an auspicious start to a new year where someone is going to have to give something. Both sides say theyre willing to talk, but thats not the same as saying theyre willing to negotiate. Ive got a great team to help me break it down this hour. First, a quick reminder of where things stand. Things are about to get very interesting. The new class of elected lawmakers is about to be sworn in. This isnt only about nancy pelosi resuming the speaker ship. There are 63 new democrats c
We are giving him a republican path to do that. Why would he not do it . Why would he not do it . Why . Simple. A source telling cnn that senator Chuck Schumer asked the president not once, not twice, but three times to give him just one good reason that he wont take the democrats offer. The president s response, quote, i would look foolish if i did that. That should probably be the least of this president s worries. Like i said, the clock is ticking. As of tomorrow, his party will no longer have total control of the government. He will no longer have a majority in the house, and democrats are salivating at the idea that they could eat his lunch. He cant even count on Senate Republicans like new senator mitt romney, who told our very own jake tapper this tonight. After he was elected president , it was very much my hope that he would rise to the occasion, rise to the mantle of the office.
