saying the president has not learned his lesson. the president knows he s not going to get this money that he lost, even the sway he had last year, but this is sending a message for 2020 and setting the president up so he can make that point to his base that he s still here and he s still fighting for the wall. that comes as right now the senate is expected to vote this week on a resolution to disapprove his declaration of national emergency to build that wall, but the president is trying to send a message with this. you can tell he s still sensitive to those criticisms from people like ann coulter who say he s not living up to his promise to build the wall, because the president was lashing out at her over twitter this weekend. you can expect the white house to lay out its priorities. they re doing something they haven t done in a while, phil, today they re having a briefing. sarah sanders is going to brief reporters on the proposals laid out in this document. what a novel idea, spe
watching the mueller report now, right? we don t know when that is many and there is another thing here, and that is the rnc is 100% behind the president right now. last time there was sort of stepstep skepticism about trump, he got a late start. they re talking about midwest florida, they re talking about volunteers and raising money, and there are campaign rallies in some of these states. so he has that infrastructure not to mention the base, and the support of the base, that will make it harder for anyone to slip. he won last time and any slippage, i think, is problematic for him. if you look at the last reelections, they were not sitting governors of the in
increase for in defense spending, they re going to increase a dollar in domestic spending. the country cannot afford that anymore and they re not going to abide by it. we don t see it reflected in this budget and they ve indicated they re going to push back on that. but the democrats have done this successfully before, she ll do it again. they ll say if you want more money for the military, which is something the president wants to campaign on in 2020 and say he s strong for the military, then you have to give some deomestic money, too. i imagine it will be pretty effective now that the democrats actually control the congress. buttigieg attacks vice president pence in the town hall. and the golden retriever er are very different. they eat, digest, and process energy differently.

programs like the epa. promises kept. taxpayers first. read the list and each promise pairs with the big demographic the president won in 2016 and will need to win again in 2020. senior analyst kaitlan collins is with us at the white house. kate, i know you memorized this in the last hour. tell us what you see when you look at this document right now. like you said, this is meaningless, especially now that democrats are in charge of the house, but what you re seeing is the president renew his demand that congress pay for the board wall. he s asking for $8.6 billion for the wall, some from the security committee, some from the department of defense. the president not learning his lesson coming off that shutdown fight, the fight that didn t earn any money for the president and his border wall, and they re
