The violence, because if we want to shut down the government, i would understand if tomorrow the president of the united states said until the nra releases its stranglehold on the congress of the united states and we can finally have sensible gun control to endi the vicious murder and killing on the streets across this country and in our schools, i would understand that. what the democrats are doing is saying, mr. president, you said you were going to shut the government down until we gave you the money for your illegitima illegitimate, illegal, immoral wall. we ve done that before. i think the president of the united states and everything that s been said here tonight is about enforcement, enforcement, enforcement, enforcement. it is the red meat to donald trump s base in his republican party. let s move forward. open up the government, once again, so that we can begin to negotiate. as you said, chris, democrats have offered $5 and then $25 billion to this president of the united stat
. welcome back. a little personnel news out of the trump transition. monica crowley, who for a long time has been a fox news personality, is about to join the national security council at the trump white house. doing extensive reporting about plagiarism by monica crowley, including in a 2012 book she wrote the trump transition initially defended her, but we are now getting word she will not be joining the trump staff at the white house, will not be joining the national security council staff as a key spokeswoman. it s a staff job, but in terms of getting pushback, getting somebody out, is it significant? i think it s a s it actually does matter. it has seemed for a lot of opponents of trump that it doesn t matter what they throw at him because they just ignore it, and they issue very defiant statements like the one they initially issued in defense of monica crowley, but it turns out that if there s enough of an accumulation of stuff, i mean,
Whether it s worth the bruising and the public scrutiny. word is being though, that he is being urged from the top tier at trump tower to stay in the fight. for now his confirmation hearing is on hold, likely not until next month, and his critics promise to keep up the barrage. thanks for watching and joining us on inside politics today. wolf starts after a quick break. after becoming one of the largest broadband
An academic exercise. an important one because as manu said, it affects policy. how can this get done? the reality here is democrats don t want to believe it on friday in four days. donald trump will be sworn in as the 45th president. this is something that s happening now. i would not be at all surprised if there is in the future a meeting with the president-elect or the president then in john lewis or something. john lewis has drawn attention to this. he is a very he likes to bring history into things, and i think that he may ultimately rise above it. we ll see. this is it s a side show, an important side show on a day like this, but the reality is donald trump will be the next president. to use the word illegitima illegitimate you should find it. you should go and find that speech. it s a history lesson because he is such an iconic and amaze, remarkable hero in american civil rights history. this is, no disrespect to the congressman this is a partisan democratic salvo here
To call the republican president-elect illegitimate you can say i m not going to his inaugural and i have so many disagreements with him, and he hasn t reached out to me, maybe we ll get to it later. there are a lot of different ways to protest. to use that word, we know how sensitive the president-elect is about this. he is looking to start something. coming from john lewis and a lot of the cdc s perspective, they just dealt with donald trump calling president obama the first african-american president illegitimate for the better part of eight years. i don t want to question his motivations. maybe he actually does believe that in his heart, and, you know, that does seem to be a little bit of a tit for tat. mike pence, again, you ve seen him do this before. he is the voice of reason. he is the one who handled this as a politician, as and frankly as an executive would.
