Relationship with trump. Did this break Campaign Finance laws . Lets go outfront. Good evening. Outfront tonight, shutdown victory. President trump taking a victory lap as more than 30 Democratic Senators join all republicans in a vote to end the threeday shutdown. The house voting moments ago to end the impasse. The deal was done in congress and it was done by senators. Thats who made the deal. The president was silent. Today President Trump only issued a Brief Statement which said in part, quote, i am pleased the democrats in congress have come to their senses and now willing to fund our great military, Border Patrol, First Responders and insurance for Vulnerable Children. The short term spending deal came after mitch mcconnell, declared his quote, intention. Intention to hold a debate on the dreamers in the come weeks. Thats it. Intention to hold a debate in a few weeks. Theres no formal mechanism to
repeatedly brought up this threeday bill to keep the government open but to force d
Anyway, sour grapes is to be expected. Why would you praise your opponent after he wiped the mat with you and thats the problem with these politics even when theres good news country its been used for the party and theres a lot of good news on jobs, ices, economy all good but we could do better. The Democrats Remains our. Schumer looks like hes the penguin from batman. [laughter] trying to pass a softball sized gallstone. [laughter] and pelosi looks like that gallstones is about to hit her in the mercedes. [laughter] the rest of the democrats all look like they shared the same hemorrhoids. What is the problem . First, that speech wasnt for them. It was for you. I thought it was too long but for you its not long enough. Its 90 minutes of positivity about this great country after
eight years of moaning about america his speech was a water cooler in the desert. For democrats your good news is there bad news but also their bad news is your good news. In the future, heres a handy measuremen
Floor. The real problem here is in the senate. Democrats seem to have reached their Breaking Point after supporting cr after cr. There have been four since october. And each time that happens the democrats have to go home to explain why it doesnt include any of the their protesters, most notably the daca issue. I think some of them have just gotten to the point where they can no longer explain. The fact that President Trump used that kind of language we heard from him last weekend in a private meeting, thats inflamed things as well. You have mark warren and tim kaine of virginia who voted for the last continuing resolution. You have Patrick Lay Hee Of Vermont who the opposed to the funding bill. We are looking at a scenario where the house is probably going to trying to get this wrapped up by 7 00 or 8 00 tonight. The senate might move quickly, but, again, very difficult to count to 60 votes in the senate. Were closer to a Government Shutdown than at any point since december 2013. I th
And it was it was also amazing that it was just it was so hard to hear her. You know, we could have very easily taken two more steps and wouldnt be able to hear her at all. Joining us from montecito, california, Gadi Schwartz. Videos of images coming out of there, unbelievable to see and see that girl pulled out as that guy said and so unscathed from it. What are you seeing on the ground there, gadi . Reporter yeah, such a remarkable rescue. That 14yearold girl thought she had died when they pulled her out. All of his hit around 3 45 in the morning. Most people were sleeping in houses like this. They wake up, their neighbors, alarms going off, theyre surrounded by what, they get in the car, try to hunker down in their home. And this was the type of debris
this is what happens. Well talk to bill karins about that in a little bit. Gadi schwartz, thank you. In a rare public event President Trump put in full display the bipartisan negotiation over a deal to protect thousand of undocumented
And later, my conversation with senator Kiersten Gillibrand. But first we are following a wave of breaking news. Rudy giuliani tells the New York Times and nbc news Robert Mueller will seek to conclude his investigation into collusion with russia by September 1st. So far we have not heard anything from the Special Counsel ourselves. Robert costa from the Washington Post reports an important asterisk. That deadline might hold true if the president sits for an interview. At the same time, President Trump ordering the Justice Department to investigate an if in Fib Informant who was used in the early stages of the russia probe. The president tweeting, quote, i here by demand and will do so officially tomorrow that the department of justice look into whether or not the fbi doj infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for political purposes. As for the president using the power of his office to intervene in an ongoing Justice Department
investigation, maybe we shouldnt be too surprised.
