when he talked about not wanting to be the policeman of the world that appealed. trump is looking forward to re-election. you know what? i don t only need the base but i need some of these people in the middle. brian: what good is re-election if you go ahead and give syria to iran lose iraq again. look at this stunning, they are reforming this is according to our friends, the kurds. everyone is upset, sad, and afraid. most who spoke to fox news, afraid to using their names u the kurds did the fighting. we did the backing and strategizing. now, when we try to go back in there and reestablish ourselves, the big difference is the russians. because president obama sat on his hands, the russians came in and filled the void. we reestablished that area. pushing back on isis. pull back they come back. they are not gone. ed: iran without noting that the president stood up to iran and pulled out of the
shut down and tough rocks for everybody. ed: governor, as you know, not the whole government that shuts down, roughly 25%. we did a segment a moment ago. most of the federal government is funded into 2019. is your advice to the president veto this stop gap measure. stop the spending week to week. and finally fund the wall? that would be my suggestion. i think he should have made that very, very clear to mitch mcconnell and to paul ryan leading into this week because, for whatever reason, they tend to think that they are on the right side of this. by surrendering to the democrats. you know, these votes that we have the majority in the house and senate are about to disappear. we will have the senate but we will not have the house. i guarantee you nancy pelosi will never schedule that vote on the calendar of the house. it s just knot going to happen. so this was our chance. and we have blown it and unless the president were to veto it. and you are right about the shut down. you know, th

controlling the house in just a few weeks. now gloating and telling the president you can t get any money from anywhere else in the budget. this is textbook. it s a textbook example of what the drive by media calls compromise. trump gets nothing and the democrats get everything, including control of the house. jedediah: he is echoing what some people around the country are saying if not now then when? it all echos to many conservatives, republicans allowed democrats to win on this talking point of government shut down. some people have been out there saying it s not a government shut down. it s a partial shut down. so much of the government remains open in that shut down. if you allow democrats to play that talking point over and over again, you are never going to get funding with the wall. it s going to happen with the wall and national debt and every major issue. ed: as brian alluded to it s been a republican failure. you had republicans in charge of the house and the senate. if you
