is this something we could see happen, at least the never have a shutdown act kevin mccarthy is a good man. but that seems to me to be a gimmick. the most important thing is we never hold hostage hard working public servants. do you want to legislate that we should take a hard look at making sure we don t pursue shutdowns as a means of trying to extract leverage, whether that s a democratic president or republican president let me go back on what i was trying to get at the republicans infamously had a speaker of the hou rule called the hastert rule, that referred to the idea of the house speaker of the house that had his own that if a majority of the majority party didn t support a bill, they would never put it on the floor. do the democrats the new democratic majority have that same is there going to be a verse of an unofficial rule like that we haven t taken that position we have taken a position we want to work in a bipartisan way and in particular on behalf of our for
i m not going to spin it for you. the president fired back. this was in no way a confession. if no deal is done, it s off to the races. the last reference, his threat to declare a national emergency if negotiators don t get a deal in three weeks obviously, we re going to do the emergency, because that s what it is, it s a national emergency. on friday, mr. trump s long time confidant, roger stone, was indicted and arrested charged with seven counts of lying to congress, witness tampering and obstruction. i will plead not guilty to these charges. i will defeat them in court. stone s indictment reveals the most direct link yet between the trump campaign and wikileaks. which distributed democratic e-mails that russian military intelligence stole from the dnc and the clinton campaign the indictment includes this notable sentence after wikileaks released stolen dnc e-mails on july 22, a senior trump campaign official was
and the bully pulpit he didn t do it right in this case you will recall, everybody that knew trump for a long time said he actually enjoys not having a plan. i want to put up some quotes he goes up to the battle and plan b quote is damned is damned. tom, a month ago we were asking the question, who is the leader of the democratic party. i want to put up some quotes from people that weren t always so supportive of nancy pelosi becoming speaker again aoc, speaker pelosi doesn t mess around tim ryan, who challenged her, she s definitely up to the task. and grateful for our champion in washington, speaker pelosi i think democrats have a leader. it s nancy pelosi. the fact is that going into this last election i have known her a long time. she is obviously a very smart woman. i wondered whether she was the best image for the democratic party. a lot of people said, she knows how to run things on the hill. i think she demonstrated that this past week donald trump treated federal employe
but i m an old flintstones kid anyway, let me put up headlines some conservative news organizations, trump lost the shutdown says the american conservative trump caves. national review, trump blinks. erick erickson writes this in usa today. this is the weakest moment of president trump s tenure in office nancy pelosi looks like the commander in chief of donald trump. hugh, you have been hearing from the base, i m sure how bad is this for the president? not that bad. this is very premature tom and i will remember that joe frazier won his first fight with muhammad ali and lost the next two. we will remember that they went 41 out of the scheduled 42 rounds this is the first round of a 42-round fight i point out that the president s approval rating is now higher than ronald reagan s was at this same time in his presidency. 40 points lower than george h.w.
we must end reckless trump shutdown and continue the fight for the people you refer to him as individual one. it s something having to do with the mueller probe. you called him the grand wizard. it seems you are a member of leadership what s that line in your mind why should the president negotiate with you if you name call him i know he name calls why should he negotiate with you? it s colorful language. i think the president is going to have to own his pattern of behavior that has taken place, not year after year but decade after decade i believe we do need to find a way together to move forward, democrats and republicans. in fact, chuck, as you know, i was able to work with if administration on criminal justice reform democrats, republicans, progressives and conservatives and left and right i think we can move forward. do you regret your language i don t regret the use of the language i think we need to move forward. america is a great country we have come a long way on th
