all he s saying is we have to stop illegal immigration. carson. he stood up, too. hi came out today very strongly. bernie sanders. i think he s a character. he s doing well. i m not sure hillary is you know if you go back to pre-obama when nobody ever heard of obama, hillary had the same kind of power as she did now. it was almost a foregone conclusion. joining me now, former reagan white hois political director cnn political commentator jeef
reasons why. number one when you re a white house official i served at white hois, you re going over to legislative branch. that s the congress. and you re saying you want me to reveal secret conversations i had with the president. i think that s privilege. let me go real for a second with you. there s a second issue here that he won t deal with with mueller. 30 seconds after he speaks atd the congress somebody will leak it. there are differences when he goes over to talk to robert mueller. he s talking to the executive branch. a special counsel who was appointed by the deputy attorney general. who s the deputy attorney general selected by donald trump. and the second thing is robert mueller doesn t leak. if i were steve bannon i would see a huge difference between talking to a leaking congress and talking to a former republican fbi director. part of the executive branch. who doesn t leak. big difference. so ken, this is what cnn learned. multiple sources told us the white house is w
talking about it and sort of says it has to pass anyway. and that s exactly what was said today from the white hois. house. we don t like this. the president has said i would veto that. but here s the other side of that coin, chris, nobody wants a shutdown. so we re just two weeks away from christmas. maybe it s going to with a three-month plan. that s what s hanging over everybody s hepd e head. first of all, the possibility of a shut doin. and, the second, at least from the white house perspective, the democrats have a much weaker hand to play if they wait. all right. thank you very much for that. joining me now, robert kcosta from the new york post. boehner, how much did he lose this morning? about 20 votes? that s right.
