12:04 am
activities people lashing out at new york times soshgd press for describing why democrats at fault. >> next question, no, times lead story senate democrats block efforts to avert shutdown hasn't been as much immediate focus juan on fact that republicans were willing to kick the can short-term funding deal, and the democrats said no, because of the issue of immigration. >> right you have ap jump in ap headlined democrats derail, so i think this came as a surprise, i think -- yeah the one who said hey "new york times" you can do better, but so what you see is that people on the left are a little surprised, that the times typically put on the left, is saying that democrats are responsible here i the alternative version, of course, two continuing resolutions passed in december
12:05 am
the idea a third is objected to even by senator graham who says you know "let's make a deal" here. >> let me talk to you a i sided from press briefing, the with mulvaney the other day. >> the president comments about [bleep] countries what responsible does -- bear. >> schumer shutdown republicans control white house, the house, and the senate. >> you know as well as anybody, that it takes 60 votes in the senate to pass -- appropriations. >> sounds like many colleagues believe white house primarily to blame. >> i think those are my colleagues asking tough questions as they should, but i think this is one case where the media is really hard to describe, because the media is really fractured like our politics you hear a lot of different interpretations of this what was interesting about about what mulvaney said takes 60 votes president trump totally undercut him said hey republicans why don't you change rules so you can pass this funding bill with 51
12:06 am
votes, in other words, just like you did for gorsuch case republicans have been able to change rules in the past why not now. >> so-called "nuclear option" a couple articles point this out but so much hypocrisy on both sides through shutdowns over years how terrible, terrible in 2013 republicans doing this don't like deposit as you alluded to earlier. and just -- seems very transparent to me. >> mulvaney of all team for shutdown in 2013 in congress, 2013, but to go back to the media side of this i do think the frustration that you are seeing not just from dan five other but guy runs daley coast other people on left with the fact some media are playing this more accurately this go around. >> meaning blame on both sides. >> democrats -- >> yeah the schumer shutdown an accurate moniker here, and the reason that you are seeing this, anger this visceral
12:07 am
anger on left so many people on the democratic side are accustomed to coverage that ranges from tendentious to obsequious, the dynamics clearly un-- they can't quite line up with what democrats typically argue, the press is doing a better job. >> i disagree, because it seems to me there is no established narrative i think why you see combat right now. at this moment as on air i think what you have is the bht issuing statements, very -- saying schumer shutdown because trying to push that about. >> why unpresidential. >> i don't think it is . >> democrats are saying trump shutdown. >> i don't think the democrats are saying trump shutdown. >> they -- >> twitter. >> they actually. >> coming from schumer schumer saying republicans as you point out earlier republicans control house, senate white house they could have passed the budget, they chose to pass continuing resolution.
12:08 am
>> even language wreaks of hypocrisy in to 13 obama administration -- 2013 obama administration, military would be her at by this now trump administration says national security hurt by this democrats don't care, donald trump and mitch mcconnell saying democrats are holding government hostage harry reid used the word "hostage" in 2013 the last two major sets of shutdowns i think the media the minority party republicans the difference you had divided government then not now. >> big difference, and donald trump, controls the whole shebang, because he has chosen immediate dominance as mooedud operandi the main show that is why -- at #trump shutdown top trending topic on twitter right now i think because biggest figure in american politics going to end up with some blame for anything that happens good or bad. >> let's -- you maybe right about dominating media down

12:10 am
facts the president is the one who said, i am going to stop this daca deal dreamers deal i am going to have a deadline in march, and then introduce it i think this is donald trump's deal maker, as a chip that he would say if you guys you democrats want a deal irgoing to have to come o to me with something of offer specifically, i think, it is the wall. and he has made this dynamic the play it is not -- >> makes sense. >> fine i am just saying, this is donald trump manufactured crisis. >> it is january, we don't have we have what a month and a half until daca deadline immigration is important issue but has nothing to do with government finding. >> washington is big on -- >> let me get in you on this question about the s-hole controversy persisted over a week some media moved from trump made racially divisive comments to trump is a racist, to this is a reason for the shutdown daca was always an
12:11 am
elusive imprompo compromise. >> you had the show aftermath the show in charge on the air, negotiations look back going great, subsequently to that then you had republicans and democrats come to the oval office say mr. president what about this deal that is when you had the s-hole comment blow things up. >> focus on john kelly chief of staff call president john kelly by national -- >> because reports he told lawmakers trump's campaign position on border wall not informed vocalizing kelly told to bret -- but "new york times" said trump. >> now schurm saying kelly called back after he thought he had a deal. >> coverage of kelly interestinget undercutting trump saying his position for in informed or secret bad guy seems like a good guy but actually is pulling back trump from all these come mooises.
