Bittermann. Jim, is this a sign europe is starting to push back on populism . Reporter i think so. I think you could say that, anna. At least the kind of things that we have written about and talked about over the last few months, about the rise of populism may not prove out to be as stru as we thought because now weve had the second election here. We had the netherlands where a populist candidate did not do so well, and we have the election here of Emmanuel Macron tonight who defeated le pen, who was widely regarded as a populist candidate.

And this is an incredibly poisonous Political Party that started under her father on a platform of antisemitism, denying the holocaust on which marine la pen layered all sorts of phobia. Around europe theres been a lot of congratulations. I think whats really important is that the rest of europe knows that they dodged a bullet tonight and they have come out and supported him and especially the jury mans. Basically t
Include walls and physical barriers and very powerful senses. If we dont get a fair deal from congress, the government will either shut down or on february 15th, again, or i will use the powers afforded to me under the laws and the constitution of the United States to address this emergency. Dana Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer placing a shutdown claim on President Trump. Hopefully now the president has learned his lesson. We cannot, cannot ever hold American Workers hostage again. We hope to make it clear to the president , to the public, that the president was in charge of the shut down. Dana House Speaker nancy pelosi saying once the Government Back open, she is willing to work with the president to set a date for the state of the union. So, jesse, back where we began before the shutdown even started. So now, three weeks to go. Jesse yeah, thank god it is over right now. Trump lost the battle so we have to win the war and get something out of an Emergency Declaration and if he
