nt mtp daily good evening, ari. a love a get big foot reference. i grew up in the pacific northwest and we keep our eyes pilled. sasquatch is somewhere west of spokane. possibly. maybe. we will be watching this sunday. as we begin our broadcast, we reflect on this. this is formally the first business day of donald trump s new reality, democrats running the show in the u.s. house. we have a preview of how they plan to use the new power. they want to investigate the trump presidency. one is here tonight. also tonight a warps from a top democrat to senator elizabeth warren as she is in iowa. that democrat is here live on the beat. a republican member of congress also defending donald trump s broken wall promise. we will talk directly and you
and they are playing politics with the lives of 800,000 federal workers. is that going to play? it s not going to play. and i think what we re going to end up seeing is, there s a difference between trump world and the republican party. we re going to start to see, especially in the senate, we re going how soon? i think within the next couple of weeks. i think that pelosi is going to pass this measure a couple of weeks is a long time. you re going to get what you get, and the senate is going to have to take what she puts on their desk and do something with it at some point. they re not going to have any choice at all. we re already seeing on capitol hill a little bit of movement from some of the republican senators who seem to be largely vulnerable. there s a long time between now and 2020, you look at cory gardner, who is running for re-election, susan collins, up for re-election in maine, a complicated state for her, too. both of them are starting to budge a little bi
