the people that work for the senator, and the people that work with the senator, and the people that care about the senator, it is time to tel them that it is time for her t go. it is just that simple look, we have all got agin grandparents and we have all got aging parents who have t relinquish certain responsibilities. the senato has had a long storied caree stretching decades, but we are now at the end of it schumer and senate democrats, as i mentioned there, they may need some help, they may nee to negotiate but the republicans about replacing some republicans like norm dakota, senator kevin kramer are suggesting kristen sinem as a replacement for feinstein on the judiciary committee your thoughts on tha suggestion, and how that could affect the confirmation process? just imagine if this issue was on the other foot, wha republicans would be. doin
states and localities, mass transit received $7 billion in pandemic relief, $20 billion of that has been spent, congress will dole out $90 billion over the next five years of president biden arriving on that. sounds like we are being fleeced, what do republicans get out of it. the washington post reported gop negotiators are finding out senator schumer for nearly two weeks promised to use their deal they been working on as the basis for legislation that was debated today yet his offices had a draft text of 2000 pages, it was top-secret. in the washington post today schumer is working on draft that would be unacceptable to all including democrats. mitt romney picked that up, quoted as saying that, when mitt romney catches on it schumer had a 2400 page bill waiting to go to undermine and pull the rug
to give no money for a fence. no, she s saying i m not giving 5 point whatever billion. they had a deal, let s call wit schumer and pence. not really a deal. nobody is allowed to negotiate except the president because he went bad on that deal and anything else he didn t like at the moment. a fence or a wall. i am told that is not accurate. there is money that can go for ballard fencing. what they don t want is the amount and to reward the president for a farcic am promise. let s see if we can agree on facts here. there was a big part of the promise which is who was going to pay for it? the president said today, you guys are taking me way too literally on mexico paying. i didn t say what you think i said. here s his statement today. when i say mexico is going to pay for the wall. that s what i said. mexico is going to pay. i didn t say they were going to write mae check for 20 become or 10 billion. i said they re going to pay for the wall. now the facts matter on this.
because i don t think that gets you where you want to go politically. i think that facing down the congress and getting nancy pelosi to come together and to get a deal, he s a deal maker. he should put a deal on the table and if nancy pelosi does what she did yesterday is say no money, absolutely under no circumstances. she s in an untenable position. you can t continue to say i won t give anything when even members of her party say fencing is an integral part of this whole border security. she s not saying i won t give you anything. let s turn to the facts. to give no money for a fence. no, she s saying i m not giving 5 point whatever billion. they had a deal, let s call wit schumer and pence. nobody is allowed to negotiate except the president because he went bad on that deal and anything else he didn t like at the moment. a fence or a wall. i am told that is not accurate. there is money that can go for ballard fencing.
last week there was a poll by suffolk for u.s.a. today about 42, 43% say the blame for the shut down would fall on the president. 30 percent said it would fall on both parties 20 odd percent said it would fall on democrats. everybody is going to walk away from this tarnished. washington is going to look more dysfunctional and look like it can t get its act together. the president is going toned up, i think, being blamed more in part because as we saw in that exchange in the oval office he said i own iting, i will be proud to do it. he did. we have seen fences work. we have seen border walls work. in fact, right here out west near san diego they improved the wall there and illegal crossing went down 90%. we know some democrats supporting a building a wall in the past. the president is pushing for it? yeah. look it s politics. let s be honest for it
