spending on average $20 million a day to support russia s war machine. i hope the details of that ban are what we would like them to be which is it goes into effect immediately. and i hope that the president is able to bring our european partners along with us. they obviously export a lot more oil and gas from russia and they provide even that much more money. but the consistent theme we ve seen from the president is that it has been a day late and a dollar short. five days ago that nancy pelosi of all people called for banning this oil. harris: i want to get into what democrats are saying this morning. but i also want to step back because the wall street op-ed that we had that we featured yesterday and others are writing about this, too. russia can sell its oil elsewhere. is this mostly symbolic or if we stop buying their oil does it really tell the rest of the world our third largest supplier, we can live without you, why can t you guys follow
but everyone around him falls in line and then they eventually do what he says and so why can t you guys we are not doing that. and then get together like the republicans do and support each other. okay. all right. here s my clairvoyant prediction. i understand that s what all news have come down to. i have a resolution which i m going to introduce to have the house of representatives disapprove of every foreign government payment that donald trump has pocketed from saudi arabia or indonesia, united arab emirates since coming into office from the trump office towers or the gulf courses or the trump international hotel in washington which i call the washington emolument. disapprove all of them i hope and i hope to demand that the president turn over all of iz ill-gotten gains under the constitution to the u.s. treasury. i believe that we are going to do that. that s something i m willing to
sit there and say, it s nuanced? are you going to do it or not? well, look. our constitution was written in the 18th century where they were a little more reflective and more meditative about stuff. we ve got to analyze this. i hate to put you on the spot like this, but this is not the 18th century. yeah. this is a 24-hour news environment. this is social media and twitter and whatever. and things happen really fast. and you re talking about a guy who just does whatever he wants, and he would just come out and say yeah, i m going to impeach him or no, i m not going to impeach him. why can t you just say it? why can t you just make up your minds? because he ll say something whether or not it s right or wrong and then contradicts himself 20 minutes later or the next day and we have to have more respect for the rule of law but it doesn t matter because everyone around him falls in line. everyone around him falls in line, and then they eventually do what he says. why can t yo
districts, and the house that helped nancy pelosi become speaker again could very easily slip back to a republican when president trump is at the top of the ticket. the republicans because not as many people vote midterm. the other thing, she did an interview, speaker pelosi did with the new york times and got a lot of attention where she is saying these guys don t only have a twitter game. it came out of an interesting time. because she just lost a fight with enterococcus but not from the left. it was from the middle. they said, we have to vote for the funding for the border. and so come i think she is trying to be wise. i think that i understand a push up against her, but if i had to put pelosi s political skills up against aoc at this moment from what they need, if i were the democrats, can t you guys work together? they can be quite powerful but i don t know if it is possible. juan: i just don t think there is any way congressman alexandria ocasio-cortez is on the same power ga
shutdown i think there is a lot of push to the american people soothey enough of this. can t you guys show you can t get it done together? the one thing you cannot do tonight is what he has been teasing is to take firm, tough action on the wall. if the eyes of the nation are on you in this moment, i wonder not just what is included but what is not included. why not take the moment to announce? that takes the call for unity and kicks it down the stadium. it makes it completely hypocritical. let s have unity but i m declaring a national emergency. that doesn t fly. i think you would circumvent everything else you were trying to say and speak. he is going to give congress every opportunity get this done through february 15. i don t have much hope that they are going to. he can say that on february 15. i have given it every opportunity to succeed and it is not therefore i m needing to move forward with executive action on my own. then some of the democrats
