1:14 pm
president could have had much more money for border security a couple months ago for code under a disagreement about daca. >> we at >> we had 20 for dylan that could've been spent on border security. now the government is shut down over what ultimately is going to be $2 billion. this is a made-up fight so the president can look like he's fighting. >> the associate editor and white house columnist of the hill. great to have you. >> great to be here. >> because i'm optimistic about getting a deal. >> i think it's going to go a little while and neither side seems particularly eager to make the compromises if we need to resolve the. right now we seem to have a game of hot potato honestly. everybody trying to say it's everyone else's responsibility. that doesn't vote for a world
1:15 pm
for solution. >> at a source some of the leftover from the white house was to buy $1 billion for border security. another 400 million or so with priorities. half of what the president was originally asking for the $5 billion. does that suggest to you democrats don't want to cut a deal? >> i think i'm zero sites are really great political imperatives. the president wants to prove that he's fighting for this wall. his most famous campaign promise the importance of that. democrats for their part don't believe their base can live with any funding for that wall. that's one of the reasons were in such an impasse. >> at christmas weekend. we've got holidays tomorrow and tuesday after the president gave the federal workforce off tomorrow. do things really start to get serious on tuesday session mark >> very much so. the effects of the shutdown will become more apparent than more concrete as time goes by. right now it a holiday. it's not only a matter of people

not been on capitol hill, but federal workers would be working anyway. once people get back to work on both capitol hill and the politics and the human side becomes more pressing. >> is the extent in january committee republicans risk making nancy pelosi a hero? she's becoming likely the new speaker of the house and i should get all the credit for reopening government potentially? dementia could potentially. this is the back story to all of this. democrats will house the majority in the house of representatives come january january 3rd. now, some republicans think democrats could overreach or that there could be responsibility put onto them once they take the majority of democrats feel more positively. >> what happens if the american public doesn't feel the shutdown? a quarter of the federal government and i don't mean to dismiss what they do for us, but maybe people don't feel it over the holidays. does that change the political
1:17 pm
dynamic at all? >> if that happens that plays to president trump's advantage. a lot of people critical of him have spoken of this is a crisis that if this goes on in people beyond those directly affect you don't feel some kind of great national crises come and then he can hold out for longer if he wants to do so. mike: do you think there's concerns among republicans but if the president gets pushback from his his base that he may back away from the table of a deal they may have cut? >> yeah, there's absolutely that dynamic going on. for example mitch mcconnell, republican leader in the senate talking about the fact he doesn't want to, but with specifics to have his people sign on to something if he doesn't know the president is going to sign it. republicans on capitol hill feel that they need clarity from the president as to exactly what he will agree to.
1:18 pm
mike: when you consider the lunch the president had yesterday, one of the toughest in terms of the illegal immigration guys in the house along with the appropriations chairman shelby of alabama, do you think was a sense they were trying to give him an earful to know that they're really serious about this? >> it seems to be shelby has struck a somewhat more moderate line. if you look at the rest of the attendants about lunch, it was pretty hard-line supporters of the president. people who favor holding the line against democrats even if he gets criticism from the media and the political word generally. so that is really where that meeting was going on. >> with addiction do you think it gets done later this record later this week or does it stretch out? >> i think that'll stretch out a little bit but not indefinitely. mid-january, famous last words. >> thanks for your time. pleasure. mike: some states are getting by

against kurdish fighters in northern syria. the support of the united states over the past four years in the fight against isis. turkish president reportedly promised president trump last week he would finish up title in isis clearing the way for the trump administration's announcement of u.s. troop withdrawal. despite supported to withdraw to allow for an attack against kurdish forces u.s. allies announced as a betrayal of u.s. backed forces. >> we owe to those who fought underground. against paris and elsewhere in syria. >> the trump administration's decision to withdraw troops from syria has not only received extra nor bute. and james mattis. and brett mcgurk resigning over the matter. mike: live in jerusalem, thanks a lot.
1:28 pm
>> joining us now on the decision to pull troops from syria member of the house armed services committee. great to see you. let's take a listen to president trump's incoming chief of staff on "fox news sunday" and i get you to respond. >> we recognize the fact is as the fact is as unpopular within the beltway. we recognize the fact that some popular than the defense department. it's popular with ordinary american people who ran -- >> with all due respect to democracy and i agree with you about that. do they know -- do they really know what the stakes are pulling u.s. troops out and live in syrian defense floors to the turkish slaughter and what the impact is going to be on iran. >> ordinary americans have no idea about those things. they elect the president so he doesn't have to complete understanding what you just laid out. mike: congressman, what is your reaction to that?
1:29 pm
>> the president does not have a complete or even a partial understanding of what is at stake here in syria. if this isn't defeated. there were three things played out as his policy 18 months ago. one, defeat isis. too, keep iran out of there and three new toshiba settlement. none of those have been done. it is a very, very serious mistake and all of us would love to get out of syria, would love not to be in the middle east. the fact that the matter is it is critically important that they are not have a resurgence of isis, which is almost certain to happen and secondly, iran will occupy that space along with russia. and what does that mean for israel? what does it mean for the entire previous discussion. this is a very serious miss date. the two people that are on top of that knowledge, matos and
1:30 pm
mcgurk have both resigned as a result of this policy of the president. that is a very clear indication that the president is on the wrong track. mike: let me ask you about the news. president trump. president trump announced in the chain to the pentagon will take place gender first as secretary madison thought is shanahan will be the acting. your reaction. >> first of all, the president wasn't about to allow mattis to resign. instead he fired him affect in january 1st. that in itself is the problem. mattis is going to be heading off to nato saying they would be a smooth transition at our nato partners need to be overly concerned. shanahan comes from boeing. boeing is a major defense contractor. i mean, talking about tens of billions of dollars. i want to know where his loyalties lay here. he hasn't been in the pentagon that long. i want to make sure that he knows that he is representing the american people and not
1:31 pm
representing boeing. as a major conflict right now on the new aerial refueling tanker. this in and of itself is a problem, but the real problem is the kind of leadership the geopolitical nature of this world at the same time be able to communicate with the president. obviously mattis could no longer do that. strange is switching gears to the partial government shutdown. how to compromise become a dirty word in washington? is not what the people want? >> of course they want and they actually had it. the senate unanimously voted out a compromise that the president was on board. back came over to the house of representatives and within 24 hours the president changed his mind, and demanded the $5 billion for an undefined border wall, not even knowing
1:32 pm
whether it be comic readers deal or where it would be or how it would be built and what it's cost per mile would be. anyway, the president changed his mind. the house republicans lined up behind him and now we have shut down. >> i've been told by a democratic source do is to $.5 billion. to .1 order security, 400 million further immigration priorities as half as the $5 billion request. why not take it? >> well, might very well take back. border security is something we have wanted. democrats have wanted that over and over, but we said just to build a wall without any plans. i'm on the armed services committee. we spent $700 billion we would not allow the air force to build a hangar unless we knew where was going to be built, what its purpose was and what the cost was. the president simply demanded $5 billion for a wall or a fence
1:33 pm
or whatever it might be without any definition of where went and how. that is just irresponsible and certainly for the taxpayers of america a major problem. we do want border security. the president talks about drugs flowing into the united states. yes they are. and if you want to go after drugs, fund the coast guard or the coast guard interjects 10 times the amount of drugs at the border patrol does. mike: thank you so much for your time, sir. look forward to seeing you back up the hill whenever. thank you. the partial government shutdown and if they will last at least until thursday when the senate back in session. the president has warned it could last that much or perhaps much longer is much longer as the white house and democrats continue to dig in their heels over funding for border wall despite top of offers and counteroffers reared doug mckelway is live on capitol hill with more. reporter: hi, mike at the capitol building is quiet today.
1:34 pm
members have departed with no resolution in sight to the border wall fight over government shutdown blame game. negotiations were unfruitful. one media in particular between senate minority leader chuck schumer and vice president mike pence with the first statement from schumer's office or the vice president came in for a discussion and made an offer. unfortunately we are so very far apart. one of the president's point man in the negotiations is into the inner white house chief of staff mack of any shed more light on the substance of those talks in schumer's office. >> i will tell you this. yesterday we were at 5 billion a couple days ago and the counteroffer was between those two numbers. >> removed off of the fire. we hope to move up from 1.3. >> mulvaney also believes that not schumer, the nancy pelosi: the democrats during. she's running for house speaker and he is the boats of the new
1:35 pm
wave of incoming democrats most of them favor open border. he was a veiny again. >> i think you now is in the unfortunate position of being bold and her left ring to her she cannot be seen as good as the president anything until speaker. if that's the case. act in the meantime the partial shutdown is expected to have minimal effects for the time being hitting only 25. it is mostly shut down today as both monday and tuesday which are both federal holidays. wednesday will be the first state to measure in a substantive effect. congress returns on thursday. >> lehman capitol hill, thanks a lot. asian detainee in a third canadian citizen in retaliation for canada's arrests of the chinese tech executive and not the u.s. accusing two chinese nationals attacking u.s. government computer systems. what all this could mean for trade relations between the u.s. and china.

being held in canada pending extradition to the u.s. so how might all this impact u.s. chinese relations as it negotiates trade day. joining us to discuss as dr. rebecca grantham and national security and military analyst as well as president of iris independent research. great to see you. >> great to be here. >> detaining canadians, does never let canadians, what's your read on that note russian marks in that gunshot they have been detained. kids are really stupid moves because server has anyone been sympathetic to huawei's point. not acting like a world power they want to be, but they are communist dictatorship in their terrible cyberhacking threat. >> how has this impacted the chinese desire to build out the 5g networks in places like canada and elsewhere? >> this is a really big issue because chinese huawei which is a huge telecom company is trying
1:42 pm
to build out the 5g next-generation cellular network or the uss said no way, get out and so has britain. but canada is still debating whether to allow huawei to participate in canada's 5g network. detaining a pair of canadian citizens is an incredibly stupid moves. mike: the two gentlemen on our screen. the third being held. his enough demand to go after chinese hackers from the american perspective? >> there's been a huge development does direct array has taught about. what happens in a case of new york has now been unsealed and we see a tremendous indictment going all the way back to 2006 at chinese state-sponsored advance persistent threat. these are chinese military personnel who have been hacking into u.s. and world companies for at least a dozen years.
1:43 pm
has direct or ray said, this is rampant fast and we cannot permit this to happen in the international system. mike: can you speak more about the benefits chinese have gotten in terms of what they've learned from hacking american innovations? >> yeah, absolutely. direct or ray was really clear about this. china had been spearfishing and hacking at going after all the hard work about american innovation. for example, china says they will unveil a stealth bomber sometime next year. if they do that, guarantee they will have you some information that they had from aerospace companies to try to design this to compete with the u.s. and with our allies. so it's really wrong and is direct or ray says we have to continually work together all of us to deflect the spearfishing and avoid this and not let china do this illegal and unethical hacking activity. >> of course tells technologies on a big edge the 90s is military has in the
1:44 pm
battlefields. it's a pretty stunning development. >> absolutely. we are still the world leaders, but this helps us with our b-2 bombers, f-22 and f-35 fighters to maintain deterrence for us and our allies in the pacific. we don't want china to hack into or steal any of that or anything else in electronic warfare and of the medications and believe me they're trying to do it. as ray says can illegal, unethical and it has to stop. >> you expect beijing to learn enough her, realizing they'll not put up with bad behavior going forward? >> that's a fascinating question. what kind of lesson will they learn? we see pushback from the trade tariffs and a shocked beijing's leadership. the question is are they going to participate with other states and be a good international partner? huawei says they were for many years. it's a huge company. but the largest maker of smartphones.
1:45 pm
until china learns to play by the rules of the international and we have to be suspicious and our top five intelligence chiefs around the world have told cannabis specifically not to let huawei work on g network. beijing has to change course. we can't let them go on like this and we can see them grow into the world power they want to be until they can learn to play by some of the rules of the international system. hard to say if they will or won't. mike: dr. rebecca grant, fascinating picking your brain. thanks for your time. >> thank you a majority. should the most notorious missing persons case. jimmy hoffa disappeared more than 40 years ago. there are those who say the u.s. government could take a giant step towards finally solving the mystery. that's next.
