mueller report where everybody s all ginned up and then there feels like it s anti-climatic. that s one of the concerns. look, i ve said for a long time the democrats have to get into the political theater of this. donald trump is beating us at every level, simply because he controls the theater of it. we have got to look like we are fighting back. i don t think it s only political theater, but it s just like when the republicans kept on repealing obamacare, even when they didn t have the votes to actually pass the repeal. they kept doing it as a way to say to their base we re fighting for you. and part of what democrats need is for our congress people to say we see this man is corrupt. you elected us in 2018, gave us the blue wave. no one said we could get because we re fighting for you. so knicks, brittney brings up a good point. tell me if i m sort of not hearing you correctly there, but is this idea of being on the right side of history. and various reasons i ve had about whether
and partly because donald trump wanted this tv address back. ari, i m not expecting that much tonight. in as much as lied like to envision this musical montage of trump writing back and forth with steven miller. i don t think that s going to happen. it s going to be what big speeches tend to be from this president. he will start off reading exactly what he has to say and there will come the free style. that s where we find out who donald trump really is. the interesting thing is the first time the democrats laugh at him, don t clap at a moment he thinks they are supposed to be clapping. the moment that nancy pelosi says something or notices how the people aren t responding to him. that s when we will see the real donald trump. is he humbled having it delayed by a week and the shutdown blow up in his face or will he bring wrath? that s what we will see tonight. i think the new display of the new checks and balances. there is a new house. that has constrained trump.

the very speech he s got to give. he s got to explain why we shut down the government. i think he has to offer up a plausible explanation for why we didt it and where he s going from here. we got the audience, the people know it s shut down. this will be the night to do it. interesting stuff. we ll be watching your coverage. see you tonight. welcome to this very special edition of the beat. let me start like this, the state of the union odelayed. we all know that, we are three hours out. the later date came after speaker pelosi took away trump s prime time address. she will be standing behind him, invisible to the nation, a reminder, a divided government and democratic resurgence, democrats say they re riding high after forcing trump to reopen the government without wall funding. they are touting the other big speech tonight. democrats tapping stacey abrams for the high profile job of balancing the goals of countering a president, who we
