Phil mattingly, thank you so much. Dana bash who used to run up and down those halls for years and years and years. Phil has talked to folks on both sides of the aisle. Confident that the house will get to this and nancy pelosi was so key in brokering this deal why is she standing there now for fourplus hours and saying no . I saw you write that down and because youre you, is why you picked up what you did about nancy pelosi. To people at home, it makes no sense. Not at all. Because shes getting attention for the issue shes upset is not in there. She understood because she is as sort of seasoned and tough as a legislator as they come, that at the end of the day, we saw what happened in the senate a few weeks ago. They tried to use the Immigration Issue as leverage for keeping the government open and it didnt work. Shut the government down. It didnt work out so politically, at least in the short term, for democrats. Nancy pelosi is making using the megaphone that she has by saying, you
he think it s ridiculous, a waste of money. honestly, he believes and i believe him, victories are to be celebrated, and veteran s day. the president called for this parade because he had fun in france, liked all the big guns and troops parade in front of him. this really smacks of the president liking the way the north korean leader dictates a little too much. this seems about donald trump and making sure everyone knows he has the biggest button and not about veterans sacrifices. what do you think, steve? coming out of new york city, which gives america the biggest military parade every single year, called fleet week, where we parade our united states navy up the river and thousands enjoy seeing that, there s no reason we couldn t show the great job the president is doing rebuilding our military,
sequestration, demilitary strength. it s on the mend, getting stronger every day. the world knows it. why not show off to our military how proud we are of that. steve just told the truth of what this parade is about, showcasing what republicans believe is donald trump s successes. that s very different than fleet week, a longstanding tradition to give the men and women of the navy and marines a break and celebration. longstanding parade, christine. longstanding parade. it s more of a gathering than a parade, fleet week, but longstanding, yes. that s about the men and women. as you said, steve, this parade the president proposing would be about saluting the president s so-called good work. political, serving and supporting military. saluting the greatness of our military, of sacrifice so much in this longstanding effort in the middle east. losing men and women every single year. enough is enough. let s tell the world we have the most powerful military on the planet earth and the
showing their support. i think it s hey. it s good to see my daughter, you know. there was controversy over having a victory parade from anti-war activists to arab representatives who said there should be no celebration over the deaths of more than 100,000 iraqis. some even called this a campaign rally for george bush. let s have a conversation. former speaker for new york city council and steve lonagan former republican for the u.s. senate and he served in ted cruz s campaign. great to have both of you on. we talked to two veterans last hour. you said both your fathers served in the military. chris, just starting with you, do you think it is a great idea, honor our military, have a parade or too much of a trump show? i ll quote my father, larry quinn, 91, world war ii veteran in the navy.
