but they think that a wall is a panacea and going to make them safe every and nobody will every day again from somebody who comes into the country illegally. come on. i thought a lot of people thought he was going to pay for the wall. who is going to pay? mexico. we would sit here on tv and say, mexico s not going to pay for the wall. that s never going to happen. and how do you know? give him a chance. he s the best deal maker in history. didn t you read the book? well, you live in new york. didn t you grow up in new york? yes. i grew up in queens. okay. then you grew up in new york. at one point you lived in manhattan, before, when you were a kid. no. i lived in queens. then we moved to albany and they sent me to military school. and eventually i worked my way back. okay. so then you know this guy. i do. is he a deal maker? you know what? look, i ll give it to him. he s a good salesman. has he made great deals? no. he s made great deals for himself. is he a
it works against him. okay. there you go. because he had all the leverage for two years, chris. it s true. he had a republican senate. he had a republican congress. and he kept and, again, as i said before, we re going to show you exactly what s at stake here and how we got here. good. he had all of that, and then i said, well, after nancy pelosi comes into office, he has no leverage. no leverage. he may as well take the deal that s on the table and then work out a deal to negotiate the wall further, which i think he probably could have gotten some leeway on. sure. if he had forgotten the farce and he just flipped his priorities and said to the democrats, we need x, and put whatever big numbers you want that adds up to whatever the biggest number we ve ever spent on this stuff that you want, okay? he would have gotten it because are you going to say no to more x-rays for drugs? no. are you going to say no to more judges and finding ways to keep people? are you going to
over the wall and he ll do all that sort of thing. i think the real story here, don, is throughout this whole shutdown debacle, look who the president has been listening to. ann coulter, mick mulvaney and the freedom caucus. in each case, none of these people are going to be endorsing or voting for a bill to reopen the government. they won t. so he s taking advice from people who i don t think are ever going to be part of this solution. at some point, this is going to be resolved by mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer coming to an agreement on something they can get 60 votes, and then the house will pass that. that s how these things usually end. but i think it s pointless to have this fight over the state of the union. i think pelosi is right that it should happen after the government s reopened. but i wouldn t go to the mattresses over this. you said in a rational world. that s not what s that s not what we re dealing with. that is so five years ago. not even five years ago. th
and if you re pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you. right now we are 33 days into the government shutdown. there s no deal to fund the government and no deal to fund the president s border wall. but the president has been presented with multiple deals for both. now trump is proposing to reopen the government if he gets $5.7 billion for the wall. spoiler alert. he s not going to get it. where is the great negotiators? the art of the deal? tom is here to explain. this wall funding has been the rubices cube of the trump president.
he s phasing it out. but i still want my wall. now he has leverage. democrats are furious about the daca program. here s a counter offer again. revive daca. we ll give you more border security money. and still you can t spend it on the wall. it looks for a while like he ll take this deal. he kind of gets what he wants there. then he gets push back from his base. they say you re betraying what you said you were going to do for us sp he says nope that s dead. i won t do that either. wow. already the pattern is established that trump gets close to a deal. and base protests and he wants to change major terms or reject it altogether? yeah. it keeps going that way. he starts off last year saying i m ready to make compromise here. if you will come forward as a bipartisan measure. that we can all agree on. i will be willing to sign the
