to japan. again, i ve been here a long time. i don t real i ve covered presidents being impeached and i don t remember a week quite like this. seems like we re at a new low between the president and pelosi. she has gotten under his skin and has seen the turning point and debuted a nickname calling her crazy nancy pelosi, though he walked it back a little bit. it reflects the fact that she is intimidated and threatened by the speaker and unlike some of the other females in his orbit, hope hicks, kellyanne conway and sarah sanders, someone not working for him but against him and he doesn t know how to handle that. the personal drama and the result of the personal drama which is that it s a down that s just dysfunctional at the movement couldn t get a disaster aid bill through the house and couldn t get the next spending bill down. the president s u.s., mexico and canada trade agreement, wanted her with him on that and i bet
and democrats are not willing to do that. dana: andpelosi has an excuse saying we can t get anything done because president trump wouldn t work it with us. they figure out a way to blame him. remember, the republicans had congress for two years. both houses. and everybody blames them. it s the democrats. what is interesting about the impeachment argument, the impeachment argument that morning blow said, he want impeachment but so does he so let s not give it to him. same as the board. but because he wants a strong border, we re not going to do it. they re infants. they re not adults. it s like how you treat children. figure out a way oh, they tried to reverse psychology but everyone we re all adults. we re following along. i m barely one. you reach. you got there.
nancy pelosi is getting a speaker s gavel again. because of perfectiveness in the last time she was speaker. in the first meeting she had, she had a punch of opinion writers airplane the table. i was there. we were talking about the budget fights. the new speaker bainer with his own caucus, trying to get a budget bill passed. i would focus on the debt ceiling crisis. if they couldn t get a budget passed, how on earth was he going to get the votes to raise the debt ceiling. she said, jonathan, you have to ask him. you just spent ten minutes telling us how you were a vote counter and you knew where the votes were. she said, well, yes, that s true. i ll remind you, i passed the affordable care act without a single republican vote. that s something people need to understand and to remember that very controversial piece of
president because he resists science, evidence, data, truth. it s hard to pin the president down on the facts. i think and hope that we can work together in a positive way now that the president is more acclimated to the fact that he s dealing with a democratic majority in the congress of the united states. within the hour, congresswoman pelosi is expected to become the most powerful woman in american politics and president trump s biggest nightmare. a vote happening right now on the house floor. will likely hand pelosi the speaker s gavel for a second time. she would remain the only female speaker in the history of the united states. and the first person to regain the speakership since democrat sam ray burn and republican joseph martin jr. traded the gavel five times between 1940 and 1961. the question now for the woman who will be third in line for the presidency of the united states is how she will use the
and schumer at 11:30. he has to avoid a partial government shutdown. talk bipartisanship with infrastructure later this year. what do you make of the meeting today with the president and pelosi and schumer? he has been thirsty for somebody to be a villain against him. he wanted to play off republicans and he would get frustrated with republicans on capitol hill. now he has people he can basically turn people into punching bags up there to oppose on everything. he called them chuck and nancy. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. they are not in power yet, but they still do hold some cards because republicans can t fund the government on their own. they have thrown in the towel. you need to find democrats to help do it. this is the new normal. you cannot help but wonder if that dynamic is existing with impeachment if they are running up against that in the house.
