why is it incumbent upon nancy pelosi to negotiate? now, i don t understand that. well, it s kind of hard for her to look at the american people in the face and say, look, i want to put the american people back to work she s not the one who said i will gladly shut the government down, i will carry that mantle. and both of them sat there, pelosi and schumer said we think that s a wrong move, you shouldn t shut the government down. so why should she negotiate right now? she didn t say i m going to shut the government down, she didn t. the president shut the government down. you re absolutely right. but as i said, why should she negotiate? that s the only way we re going to open the government back up. refusing to fund trump s big, beautiful wall sits well in the sanctuary city but that s not the only way. the president can open the government back up and still continue to negotiate for a wall. this isn t like the end of the world, doesn t just stop here. he can say i m going
troops excursion. as a public relations event especially coming from a president who has yet to visit the troops in afghanistan, as commander in chief. perhaps if he visited them in afghanistan he would recognize this isn t a public relations event but the job of one of the leaders of our government to tell them the truth and tell them we appreciate their service. everybody stay. a lot more to talk about. collusion or no collusion? seems like the president and his lawyers can t get their story straight. (vo) we re carvana,
right, so who imagines that the polls are rigged? the guy who s rigging the polls. this is what michael cohen tweeted. he said what i did was at the direction of and for the sole benefit of donald trump, the potus. i truly regret my blind loyalty to a man who doesn t deserve it. rougy w rudy giuliani was on last night and said the president didn t know it. but once again you have michael cohen who s once again implicating this president in some very shady dealings. that s right. we reported with respect to the hush money deals, michael cohen did, that donald trump was involved in every level of that. and here he is kind of operating in the dark on his own, and now trump people would like us to think he s rogue. but we know that trump definitely was orchestrating the hush money deals. in this case michael cohen says that donald trump directed him to do that. and at the time trump was
weeks, i m going to do it on good faith so they know i m willing to negotiate with them. that s not true to say the only way this is going to happen is if the democrats start negotiating, there s another way that s probably actually a better way. and if he wants to bring in some people and gain more confidence with the democrats he could say i m going to open it back up, but i really want you to negotiate with me, and if you don t, then you re going to look bad. look, i agree 100% that we should open up the government first and then negotiate the wall. there s a great way to bargain here. the president wants $5 billion, nancy pelosi wants zero, let s agree to 2.5 and move on. in the meantime let s open up the government and then have those conversations because these people have gone without a paycheck and we need to rectify that. david, sorry, what do you think about all this back and forth? that s okay.
he gave it to me when i did an interview with him. and it s a camouflage. david, you interviewed secretary john carry. here s a clip. so what s happened is people have lost that sense of what s important to our country. our democracy is threatened today. we are dysfunctional. let s be honest about it. our democracy is threatened. what else did he have to say about the state of this country? he had quite a bit to say about the president and russia. remember he was the secretary of state when this saga began, and he had an interesting cut on the president s view of the military and military service. he was very lively in this interview and very interesting, so i hope people will join. i hope so, too. thank you all. i appreciate it. fascinating.
