anyone else. that is the heart of his campaign. that was why the base loves him. this has turned into a base-only strategy. a part of me thinks that one of the reasons here is this is the anti-impeachment strategy. he is locking in a base so strongly that no republican senator would bear to cross it because they were worried about being let me read you a portion of your piece that you write about the funding. i am struck by the way in which one sense president trump has already achieved success. he has been able to conjure up a crisis out of thin air, elevate this emergency and perhaps invoke war like authority. he may fail but it should worry us that any president can do what trump has done you re saying we should be worried. i have always been a kind of strong presidential powers kind
the shutdown effects and consequences. the fda stopped some inspections of food including fruit, meat, seefd and vegetables. national parks service is using money for future projects to keep some parks open. federal government missed the water bill to d.c. and active duty coast guardsman are working without pay. trump claims that there is a crisis at our southern border. border patrol agents are working, but without pay. some officers have even sued the trump administration over it. i.c.e. is at risk of running out of funds and unable to pay contract dues. with no deal in sight to end the shutdown, earlier today senate minority leader chuck schumer called for the senate to take up legislation to reopen parts of the federal government not
audience. if they literally say nothing and it just comes on, it won t build up quite as big an audience. i m just wondering at this point, though, why would he have to lie about anything? you heard michael cohen say he is done with the lying. he has no loyalty to the president. is cohen a credible witness? i think he is because he has already paid the penalty of lying before congress. he knows what that s about. the last thing in the world he wants to do right now is lie to the congress. rather, he wants to improve his position with the court so he can go and ask for a little leniency on his three year sentence. this is the venue here do it in. we have been told that cohen wants to be the john dean quite frankly of trump s presidency. how do you think history will remember michael cohen? will they remember him as a liar or does mueller have the goods to corroborate what he says.
related to the potential border wall. that way some of the government could open while funding negotiations continue on parts of the government related to a wall. so the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell blocked that move. here is what he said. the political stunts are not going to get us anywhere. he may be right about that. remember, it was the president who threatened the shutdown over the wall in a televised meeting with democratic leaders. last week president trump held a nonbriefing in the white house briefing room with leaders from the national border patrol council. on tuesday trump made his first and only primetime oval office address which was riddled with falsehoods. yesterday he walked out of negotiations to end the shutdown and today the president went down to the border to make his pitch for the wall. the government is still shutdown. so it s hard not to agree that that was a political stunt and political stunts in fact get us
i have been warning, you have, don t go soft on china. they will not respond with respect if you go soft. promises they other same as north korea in violating promises to do this or that. the person thing i heard was a tweet from someone the name of laura ing gram. you said hold the line, mr. president that was critical. it changed the president s view on this, we see him backtrack from his position. laura: he could have given kim jong-un a gift certificate to shownes. that would have been good. all you can eat breakfast bar. talk about what hilary s top add voiz or jake sullivan said today. am i glad that president trump did not meet with kim jong-un and have it blowup in his face, y i m glad he didn t. on the other hand, should he have not made a rash decision
