i think he s acknowledging now that s going to be conferenced and that the two houses will agree on legislation on appropriations that will not include funding for the wall. that might well also pass by veto-proof majorities. so he s lost the fight to use the leverage of shutting down part or all of the government to get the wall. so then he s left with the emergency declaration. that congress can overturn, i think nancy pelosi will do that
mentioned, have drawn the attention of trump as well as republicans in congress. on top of saying he won t bear false witness for his friend of 40 years, donald trump, roger stone has also given somewhat cryptic responses when asked about potentially cooperating with robert mueller. he addressed both those issues earlier today. i was not read my miranda rights. i was brought out of the house. i was handcuffed. i was standing in the street wearing a roger stone did nothing wrong t-shirt. said you won t bear false witness against the president. does that mean you are ruling out cooperating with robert mueller? this is a question that i will have to refer to my lawyers, ultimately. all i can tell you today is i will tell the truth. have you talked to the president since the raids? i have not. stone will be back in court tomorrow. there s a lot of speculation this judge is going to issue a
yeah, look, i think fundamentally in the uk, key allies in canada, australia, new zealand, elsewhere in the world, they know at the professional level that the cia, the nsa, the fbi, still are doing their job in a professional manner. their work can be counted on. except when you is the president not listening to them, boy, it s a very dangerous situation because what would he do in a real no-kidding crisis? we happen to be largely at peacetime, of course, we have troops deployed in several war zones around the world. we have a number of hotspots and a number of challenges we re dealing with. if heaven forbid, we find ourselves in a true shooting crisis, if you will, a true threat posed to the homeland or to the united states, and the president does not listen to his intelligence committee, does not accept facts, i don t know how we navigate out of that crisis. knocking on wood as we speak. jeremy bash, we wanted to talk to you tonight. thanks for making it happen. thanks, brian.
appearing stalled, president today took democrats to task for blocking his wall, as you heard, predicted congress would fail at their negotiations and claimed the wall is already a reality, all if a span of just a few minutes. i don t think they re going to make a deal. i see what s happening. if there s no wall, it doesn t work, and we re building the wall right now. i mean, a lot of people don t know that, but we have a lot of wall under construction. we ve given out a lot of contracts over the last three, four weeks. good contracts. a lot of wall is soon going to be under construction. nbc news has fact checked that claim. just to be clear here, this is false. the white house has not yet built any new section of border fencing or wall. then there s trump s choice of words. this is trump in recent weeks. the only thing that s going to stop that is great border security. with a wall or a slat fence or whatever you want to call it.
bulwark. bill, i have to read you a quote from the president in the new york times interview tonight, some, just kidding, will find so evocative to fdr. i lost massive amounts of money doing this job he said. this is not the money, this is one of the great losers of all-time. fortunately, i don t need money. this is one of the great losers of all time. somebody stays at a hotel. i lose. i mean, the numbers are incredible. bill, your reaction? weeping tears for him and the great losses he s taking. if he s losing so much, maybe he should just till foreign visitors not to stay at the trump hotels and so forth. look, i do think he s in a sort of weak position here and should lose sight of that in the midst of all the bluster. he shut down the government to try get the funding for the wall. what he s basically saying, he understands congress is going to pass the other appropriations bills, veto-proof majorities to keep the government open. the one in conference is the
