a lifeline there for a socialist dictator that john bolton says could live happily ever after on a bill on the beach. will he take it? i will see you tomorrow. kennedy is next. >> here we are, day 34 of the government shutdown. it has come and gone and you may want to sit down for this one but lawmakers once again, failed to make a deal. shocking! right? earlier this afternoon the senate voted on two competing bills. the republican plan that funds the wall in the democratic version that does not. each unit is 60 votes to pass neither got anywhere near paid one back by the president failed 51-47 and one democrat, joe manchin iii from west virginia voted with the gop and the democrat plan also failed 52-44 but six democrats side with -- six republican study

with the democrats. the president did not take it well. >> is an invasion of our country. drugs, human traffickers, so many different things, criminals. an invasion of our country. and the military wants this to happen. and border patrol wanted to happen. by the way border patrol, said that all of the drones in the air, they don't mean a thing when they looked on and they see thousands of people rushing the board. the only thing that works is a strong barrier wall. >> or a polevault! democrats including nancy pelosi are framing the fight very different. as you can imagine. they argue, we don't need the wall! and federal workers are those who rely on the government and they have to get paid. >> americans like brenda from maine whose family can no longer pay for heating and fuel this winter. while temperatures remain below freezing.

americans at julie from rural iowa. he says that farmers already are hit hard by tariffs and food stamp recipients will go hungry. and many loose subsidized housing, state and local services will be overwhelmed trying to make up for the losses. as one woman asks, how is a wall more important than families? >> at least they're not emotional. a number of posts addressed democrats are winning the argument for lessening the present agreed to postpone the state of the union address and so the government reopens. the way things are going, when on earth will that happen? tonight panel, fox news contributor and author, jennifer to arlo along with host of a podcast called part of the problem, one of the solutions, don't let the beard for you, comedian dave smith. and dailey color editor-in-chief and author of the art of the donald chris bedford. welcome wendell!

shutdown season is still upon us. what strikes you about the senate vote today? >> i think mitch mcconnell set up the president. he has scheduling power. he let them go on the floor not all that he let republicans break from the republican stance and vote for it. kind of a warning sign to the president. the white house at the same time already, there are moderates in the white house leaking to political saying the white house is breaking no one knows what to do. put them in a bind and it's difficult but it shows you how doug and everyone is, nancy pelosi up there talking about all the democratic things governments, workers getting paid, food stamps all the different programs and she's willing to sacrifice that for the people of honduras, it's an interesting stance that she's got. >> why doesn't she come to the table? that's the thing i don't understand. >> # resist. >> but they will only last so long and then it will start to run into problems. but what does it say about the

state of government? when this is the obvious conclusion for every fight. it is going to be an impasse and possibly a shutdown. is that ultimately for liberty a good thing? >> no, none of this is a good thing for liberty. but it is everyone ignoring the problem which is why we keep having the government shutdowns. which is basically that we are all out of money. interest on the national debt will begin to be a major drain every sunday appear. >> is not interesting? that bill will be the debt driver. >> that's right. it's ridiculous we shouldn't even have a debt ceiling because none of them believe in ever limiting this thing. but it is for the democrats or the party of government. it is pretty crazy that they would be willing, just to deny trump the wall. because if you get the productions that he will be hitler in the stock market will crash and will have tyranny in america, none of it really materialized.

and if he is the wall too they know that he can pretty much say, he is a success. so they deny the one central campaign promise. they can say look, he didn't get it. it's politics on both sides. >> there is movement in the senate and it seems like the senate really wants to stick it to nancy pelosi. even some of the democrats. especially the blue dogs. blue dog, singer appear.>> joe manchin iii didn't get any of his backup that he did. he did know john tester backup now we don't have claire mccaskill, anymore after the 2018 midterms. also i believe it was to political about a meeting of top level senate republicans with mike pence where they came at him and said, we told you the shutdown was not a good idea mitch mcconnell wanted no part of it, he said the american public does not like shutdowns. and they don't. will they remember when they are voting in 2020? i'm not sure. >> i get that it is better republicans and the president but it is not good for democrats. >> no, we talked early on about the number. now suddenly 34 percent of americans are blaming

congressional democrats. and they have to be careful because the numbers picking up and the number for congressional republicans is ticking down. but i'm hopeful about the copper was billed as a smart wall situation where democrats can say, we are for border security and get you paid and trump doesn't get exactly the thing that he says. but if you listen to bill bennett on the floor of the house today, senator going after ted cruz and everyone else, he was saying this about the campaign printer he did not care about it for two years we had control of both houses. suddenly, everything is on fire. >> and barack obama, when he had control of both houses. -- >> barack obama is gone and trump is here. >> and exacerbated problem that reported that he left in shambles has no desire to fix it. what about someone like mitt romney? it does not seem like he is going to be a friend to the president. it almost seems like jeff flake two point appear. >> think of some of the polls that are coming out. americans getting increasingly ticked off about the shutdown.

70 something percent of people that voted for mitt romney for president completely back the president shutdown.they are backing the wall. the people voted for mitt romney and supported him nationally, are behind president trump on this. the gop is largely united with the exception of a couple of senators.mitt romney, i do know who the heck is advising him on this. >> he has gone rogue! >> i guess he has gone rogue. he is so tough he stands up against his constituents, party and president. i don't know what he's doing in washington. he obviously will not run for president again. >> being a senator is a great job! the last thing i will say, i do not buy the notion that it is an invasion. because it think an invasion takes ill intent. and i think the racial people come into the country are mostly good and they mostly want to work. i do not think they're coming over to take stuff. and i think that would be an important characteristic of invasion. >> my biggest problem with illegal immigrants is that the kids vote for democrats. i agree with you and also, the stupid argument about drugs pouring over the border. it's like okay, legalize drugs.

i know people don't want to do that but legalize drugs -- >> that was my monologue the other night! first of all, they're not coming over section of the porous border. if you listen to anyone that is testified in the el chapo trial, a flight in, these trains and the postal service, tunnels. everything but breaks in the border wall. >> the best solution for immigration would to end the welfare state. >> and the entitlement state. if you think that is a magnet and people are coming had to get free stuff, stop giving everyone free stuff. [multiple speakers] >> building a wall does not seem too easy. the president won on that central issue and we have shut down the government because of it. >> i feel the construction. we have so much more. and we will start back up with you, we have the economic

impact, federal workers are not getting paid and is making things very tough in impaired mortgages, car payments, tuition checks. don't forget, you have to eat! but today wilbur ross is getting a lot of heat for saying he does not understand why the dirty workers are staying in food lines. wilbur? >> i know they are in that it really quite understand why. first of all, the banks and the credit unions should be making credit available to them. when you think about it, these are basically, government guaranteed loans. because the government has committed these folks will get there back pay once this whole thing gets settled down. >> and we know the government programs are so speedy and effective. democrats are claiming that the let them eat cake moment. but if damaging the economy. the white house now admits if the government does not open soon the nation could see zero

percent economic growth in the first quarter of 2019. will the shutdown not only create this for federal workers but the rest of us?tra', professor at the king's college, brian -- i have missed that this get into! wilbur ross. who does he remind her of? krista montgomery burns of america. he is proving it time and time again. why don't they get some loans -- [laughter] no! i do not want a loan i want to get paid for my job. i'm out there working and no one is paying me. he is so out of touch and the problem is, the theme of our leaders being out of touch is growing. and it is leaving more and more people to say, why don't we tax them 70 percent? why do they deserve to have all of this morning? why do they deserve to go to davos and talk about solving the worst problems with the don't know how we live? they've no idea what we are going through. wilbur ross is example number

one. >> and nancy pelosi! you don't really sense the urgency with her because she is a rich person. and all these federal workers are points to her and she really doesn't care about them. even if she recites the tragic stories on the house floor. >> you are to recite the stories and is just so contrite. if you really care about that you can solve this problem. >> roll up your friggin sleeves! >> you do not want to give victory to the president. you do not want to say that we built a border wall. and that is why you're holding robin and emily in maine hostage. >> if i were robin and emily i was a madam speaker, what are you doing? because of the president, love him or hate him, he says daca, yes, let's do these things, three year extension. let's make it a law and not an executive order that cannot be undone. >> immigrants are going to

start to feel the heat more from their constituents and less from nancy pelosi. and they are going to start showing -- >> i think you are right and that is a good point but when does it happen? >> i think it is already happening. you are seeing americans complain more and more. democrats are hearing this. they are hearing the leadership by the way, not provide a substantial alternative to what the president has offered. they are only saying open the government, open the government. what about the underlying issue? americans do care about border security. so i think you will see democrats start to move here a little bit. start to put pressure on the leadership, start to speak out. because they want their constituents in iowa, and in maine to know, yeah, we hear you! even if nancy pelosi does not and even if wilbur ross does not we do. and we're going to do something about it. >> is funny that beto o'rourke says some of the counties in the border are the safest in the country. that's because they're sort of a constitution free zones. where you have absolutely no

rights and the government can take your car and sees your property with no due process. it is not an asus but let's talk with the economy a little bit because mick mulvaney has warned that there will be zero percent economic growth. we like this three and four percent gdp growth that we have not seen for a long time. >> here's the issue. on the data side it is kind of like pay me now or pay me later. federal workers not get paid the entirety of the first quarter. that will not show up in gdp. but as soon as they get the back pay it will show up later. second-quarter gdp could be huge if first-quarter gdp is not. but i think the real issue is, give more and more americans saying, i do not feel so good about where the economy is heading. but if you look last year about this time you're talking about 50 or 55 percent of american population saying things will get better. >> yeah! i took in 37 percent. it's a psychology thing where people are saying look, i like was happen so far but we have trade, nothings happening there. we have the shutdown, i'm hearing bad things about the

federal reserve, i don't know what's going on in china. the davos people are a worry. i wonder if things are not going to be so good -- it is a self-fulfilling prophecy then. >> if china's growth is as we been hearing, how long will it take for that to drag our economy down and say -- >> europe has nothing, brexit is a mess. the united states is the one our time here kind of pulling the world along. right now and we have got massive dysfunction and will you know we cannot solve a $5 billion problem. a $5 billion problem! >> you make that in a week! >> i can make that in 10 minutes! give me all your savings kennedy and i will take care of it for you! >> let's call betsy devos and wilbur ross. >> they know what they are doing. >> brian brenberg, thank you so much. coming up, our old pal michael cohen has agreed to go to capitol hill after they deliver

michael cohen was as

trustworthy as truckstop tilapia. but apparently congress was not watching the best show on cable news!laura ingram -- lanny davis revealed the presidents former fixer has been subpoenaed to testify before the senate intelligence committee. this comes on the heels of yesterday's announcement that michael cohen was canceling his plan in the house oversight committee because of what he calls ongoing threats from the president and rudy giuliani. they are so scary, you guys! let's face it, if not like the guy who pleaded guilty to several fraud charges will lie about lying! michael cohen his lawyer said he plans to comply with the subpoena and even though we know he will show up can anyone believe what he says? if he lies again to the senate then what happens to his deal? our panel is back, jessica, dave and chris beford. if he goes before the senate judiciary or intel committee and is like, i don't know about moscow, or maybe he did or

didn't do something i can't remember! >> he is to keep track of what notes he was singing before. to step on his own feet here. he is very likely going to prison and it seems like it is very much deserved.who's actually going to miss michael cohen? and when he gets out who will hire him? he's in a tough spot. he tried to get out of this had less courage and doctor ford. he wouldn't go in front of the senate unless they dragged him in there. i do not envy him one bit. >> who is having a harder time, michael avenatti or michael cohen? >> i'd rather not be the one going to jail i guess. but neither are doing great. but i do think you know it's like an interesting situation. he is not going to give them, i will be surprise if he said donald trump told him to lie about the month when they are planning to build what will be a complete illegal tower in moscow. because robert mueller came out specifically to say the

information is false. >> what does that say to you? when the spokesperson corrected the buzzfeed record and said, this is not accurate. and they have not, to correct anything! and i have read the daily come there's so many false stories and you know, half truths that reputable news organizations run with and then they have to suspend -- >> i don't know if i trust robert mueller on this. they say there's nothing here and then all the other reporters just pile on. the government says there's nothing there! may be they are right. my guess would be that there is not anything there. and he is trying to control expectations. but maybe you are right. i don't know for sure. >> the other thing, if the buzzfeed article was true, then there's another angle that no one was to look at which is that it means, people on the mueller team gave information about an ongoing investigation which itself is a crime. and no one wants to look into that. like the illegality of that.

requested we hear buzzfeed over and over again in terms of the dossier? and disseminating information about the dossier? >> actually see that as a win. as more information comes out and gets up from the indictments and the mueller probe, they are increasingly seeing truth to what christopher steele reported on in terms of the business dealings in russia, what went on with michael cohen, etc. buzzfeed stands strong on the story as well because i brought this up earlier with you, kennedy. there is also an investigation going on that mueller -- >> that is a highly politicized entity. absolute love -- >> that is fine but am i wrong about that? >> no. the former attorney general said he should be taken down for crimes and misdemeanors and trying to withdraw from nato. the ag 's have it out for donald trump. but i'm still curious, either buzzfeed after they spent months reporting on this. they were confident and stand

by the reporting. maybe they have been wrapped up in some kind of leak investigation that robert mueller is doing trying to flush the team. >> brian stelter, he was i think right to say it was pretty informal to tell that you and peter had gone back and forth. >> i watched that as well. they got pressed to some degree on it obviously the answers they had, since they would not name sources and there was a discrepancy with what one was saying that he actually spoken to the guy versus not. >> what about the -- documents? there were documents! >> i think unfortunately, a lot of this always boy zone two, we have to wait and see if robert mueller would give us a report as some point. >> he will be fired any day. >> who will without flake?he was the one man standing! >> democracy and

it's an electoral sham but the refusal to gracefully exit by the opponent has created on dividing line with us, and most of south america on one side and russia, china, turkey and cuba on the other side. they can all suck it. why would that dark alliance favor nicolas maduro? not only are they all diehard authoritarians the live imprisoning and killing dissidents.they also love that dirty oil. maduro is clearly corrupt and unpopular but he keeps his butt on the neck of the poor do sophisticated cuban spy network that tip them off to military members and others with -- the question remains whether military will stay committed to an irrational maniac that cannot support the economy or feed his own people. or if they will switch sides and train their guns on the commies finally forcing maduro

and his coronation power. whatever happens isn't unacceptable to use military force from the u.s. as it would be immoral to create more goldstar families and senselessly shed american blood on foreign soil. venezuela is a failing cesspool. but they have not attacked us and did not see american tanks ruling through nigeria and sudan were dozens of protesters there have recently been slaughtered. nicolas maduro needs to go, there's no doubt about it. but the forces of freedom to do have to mean american bloodshed in order to see necessary and eminent change. that is the memo.♪ ♪ [music] the president said he has his eye on venezuela today.>> look at venezuela, it's a very sad situation. that was the richest state in all of that area. that is a big beautiful area.

and by far, the richest. and now it is one of the poorest places in the world. that is what socialism gets you. when they want to raise your taxes to 70 percent. >> yeah, and then inflation 10 million percent. not a lot! shockingly a new fox news poll shows 24 percent american want socialism in the us. is this crisis rather a wake-up call for us? and what will it take for nicolas maduro and his cronies to fall? the panel is back, jessica, dave and chris. dave, i'll start with you. you hear the war drums beat a little bit more loudly on this issue. as all options are on the table but is it right for the u.s. military to get involved in what is turning into massive civil unrest in venezuela? >> actually not. and i hear the war drums beating valuable and sensitive time so it might be me. >> you like tonto with the

train tracks. >> that's right! if you wanted to find a policy that could compete with socialism, for being an absolute disaster every time it's tried, your sled regime change might be the one, these are the two things that destroy nations. by the way for the same basic reason. they're both predicated on force. of course not, like you said in the monologue, their problems in the world we have to go everywhere and put our young men and women's lives on the lines? by the way there's a real irony here. for all the people of been talking so much about another country , perhaps interfering with our elections, washington d.c. think they can decide who the leader is insanely you are no longer the leader, your out. if you have the military then you are the leader of the country. whether we like it or not they will have to solve the problem on their own. >> right now juan guaido does not have the military. >> no. there are generals and top officials who have tried to

start various -- they want to keep him in power because they will keep giving cheap oil. what do you do do think the u.s. military should just march right in there? >> i don't think so. >> that is surprising! >> we are talking about this beforehand. chances are that we are already involved and we are not reading about yet in the papers but we will be soon enough. these things don't arise out of nowhere and then have the next day, we say yeah, this is the presently recognized now and it is five our president and fine for the leaders of western europe. we have our hands in most things that do go on here but i'm incredibly conflicted. i'm not as libertarian as you i am pretty democrat. >> but you would bomb the crap out of caracas! >> i would. >> your for military intervention. >> i am not for military intervention but i think the

only thing keeping these guys from put up against the wall and shot his country like united states, canada saying hold on a second, we recognize as different. has a put fear into the maduro regime and the opposition to say we are not alone here. people are listening to us but those guys are brave and they are in a dangerous situation. i'm off for the understates never saying military options are off the table. i don't think you should do that but there's nothing for us to send soldiers into place that has not attacked us. except for maybe a few snipers but not in venezuela. >> the flipside, we might get those people slaughtered like the kurds in the 90s in iraq. if you give a wink and a nod like americans behind you and we are not prepared -- >> then is that we really need your south vietnam! it's like holy crap, we need you now. and then we decided our policies have shifted. thank you very much. >> the maduro regime, crippling

sanctions. >> it is something that the ministration could own. a new way of doing this and that is dealing with -- >> the president has been anti-interventionist. >> that is except for an occasional syrian bomb. >> and the saudis in yemen. >> the problem with crippling sanctions if you have empathy for the people who are suffering there, which at that was this whole thing that it was about, those are the people that will suffer under these crippling sanctions. >> yes the infant mortality rate has showed because least 20 percent of doctors have left and there is a medical crisis. they don't have basic medical supplies. >> and crippling sanctions will lead to worse sanctions.it is not going to affect the leaders it will affect the people. >> once they are hungry they start shooting at their own guys. >> nicolas maduro has given the generals suite political puffs. there invested in all of this. you look at narco terrorism in

the black market there. imagine what it lacked market and oil can bring the corrupt view for controlling the most oil rich part of the western hemisphere. >> and they have a buyer in russia, cuba. >> china. >> they will buy the oil from them. also the european union is not cracking down on this. they've not taken a side. ocasio-cortez has not said -- quickly about members of the congress on the democrat side that want -- i have not seen a presidential person emerge and say, here's what we have to do. and really have an actual solution aside from donald trump bashing and a bunch of hyperbole. >> you know every political cycle we hear comprehensive immigration reform which really doesn't mean anything. so you are right. i think people getting into the race you know the past five, six or seven days has given them the opportunity to not

there is something aggressive about standing there. standing your ground. do you think if you were not wearing that hat, this might not have happened? >> so he was asking for it. hmmm don't you think you should help people stand their ground with matt lauer? the b,16 for some reason she decided to pitch underhand. the 64-year-old today. watch. >> how are you doing? it has been a whirlwind few days for you. do you think that he should have apologized? and how did you feel in that moment? did you yourself feel threatened? >> yeah, how did you feel? lying about your war record or going awol three times? some are saying the contrasting interviews are proof the media still very much taking sides in the controversy. but was savannah really playing favorites? or are people being misled by

video once again? dreaming, former chief of staff senator mike lee and opinion editor, boyd matheson is back. welcome back. >> hi kennedy, how are you doing? >> were still seeing the fallout from this story. what do you make of savannah guthrie 's contrasting interviews? >> really stunning to see the two sides. i don't hear anyone apologizing from the media standpoint. it is a softball versus the music she was throwing at a high school student really stunning in terms of what that really means. but it really shows that at least the national media, the mainstream media has this contempt problem. where they are just unwilling to they want to demonize and weapon eyes all of these situations and then i see it prevents her from getting to the real issues and jumped into all sorts of conclusions in the
