Government still shutdown or somewhere else nationwide. s he s gotten offers from the speakers of the north carolina and michigan legislatures to use their chambers. the president said thanks but no thanks. but i think we can expect to see some sort of speech from the president next tuesday, we just don t know where. has the president actually said no thanks to those state legislatures or they just said we ll get back to you? at least with the north carolina leader he said, you know, thank you for the invitation but we re still kind of settling on a location right now. look, john and i need to know our travel plans, all right, for next week. and so that s part of the issue. it is all about you. well, obviously. but the other part of the issue is why doesn t trump just take it on the road? he likes to take it on the road. he s more comfortable on the road. he may well. and in that case, wouldn t he have outfoxed nancy pelosi is that s the case? that he she disinvites him ....
Morning. do you regret doing that far in your comments on monday? not at all. let me say three things. first of all our to priority has to continue to be to reopen the government in this reckless trump shutdown, put americans back to work and then have a mature conversation about border security. second, we as house democrats are going to continue to focus on lowering healthcare costs, infrastructure, cleaning up corruption, and kitchen table pocketbook issues. third, with respect to the comments of a few days ago, we ve got to have an opportunity for at least one day a year to have a candid, if sometimes uncomfortable, conversation about race. seems to me that we can t have that conversation on valentine s day, we can t have that conversation on saint patrick s day. it s perhaps appropriate for us to be able to have that difficult discussion on mlk day when we re celebrating the life and legacy of a champion for racial and social injustice. but you called the president the grand w ....
Just need to do so with the tools that make it as efficient as we possibly can. we ll get the job done, but it s not easy. the tools include the money to buy food. finally i want to i sat fbi did put out a statement after the report that the fbi agents association released. the fbi statement is this report is a product of the fbi aa, a nonprofit professional association and was not issued by the fbi. are you getting any official pushback to maybe be quiet or not complain so much about a shutdown? not at all. and i appreciate the fbi coming out saying this was an fbi agents association document. we put a lot of time and effort into this. the members across the country dedicated themselves to sending in these true stories of what s happening in the field and we take full credit for that and we appreciate the fbi giving us full credit. the second page of the document explains what the fbi agents association goal and what we do is. so we put this out and i m glad that the fbi gave us c ....
For them to see but quite a few like tsa, coast guard, fbi, you have to go to work but we re not paying you anything at all. it s mind bogging that will this is even legal. sung ming, have you heard anything from nancy pelosi s position? she said we re not going to negotiate in a shutdown because that sets a bad press sense dens because any time the president doesn t get his way this could be a shutdown so we re not going to do it. but now you hear all this pain as john was saying the fbi s saying there s a national security crisis or at least issue, according to the fbi, has that calculus changed? well, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer as well are still very resolute in their position that you cannot negotiate while the government is closed the they say they are happen to have ty discussion on these immigration changes but the government has to be open first even if it s a matter of weeks through fr ....
well, i think as i just pointed out, i do not believe that the president is a card-carrying member of the kkk but he has presided over and engaged in directly a series of racially insensitive remarks about t. we cannot whitewash that and on king day we should be able to have that discussion. now, i also understand why americans on good will on the left and on the right, democrats and republicans, progressive and conservatives want to give this president or any president the benefit of the doubt. i do as well. and i also believe in the power ref defrpti redemption and hopefully we ll see better behavior moving forward trying to bring in country together and not pedaling zinephobia out of 1600 faa avenue. i think that s what would make america a stronger country. on the note of bringing america together, let s talk about the strategy to ending the shutdown. as you know, it has been ....
