6:43 am
35 days for nothing. >> okay. >> it was the exact same deal that they had done before, so i don't think that -- i think the mitch mcconnell, he likes to use the phase there's no additional education of a mule and this would be the third kick. the question is this national emergency issue. somehow inks three w could they somehow expand theme deal ing do you throw in daca protections, throw in some permanent -- some permanent ideas for daca protection, not just temporary exchange for this? so, look, it's -- it could -- could the broad outlines sho up. gang of eight is still sitting ott there. i've marko rubio on this morning. there's $46 billion in security in that one, not just 6 billion, so if they want to dos thing big they can. they can probably do it fairly quickly,ut politically you see the president just has so little rooman tover with his base.
6:44 am
his base is not giving him an inch here. he looks like he caved in here and he's getting thrown to the it shows his base so you how little room there is to maneuver. i don't think there will be a shutdown. i think the president will try the emergency situation. >> which political party prevailed with this 35-day shutdown? >> obviously the democrats -- here's the biggest takeaway i think in the 35ay 35 days ago if i would have asked any democrat in congrhes who is leader of the democratic party it's too soon to tell. who knows. it's nancy pelosi. >> absolutely. she stuck to >> if there's anything that has changed in 35 days it is -- there is no question who is the leader of the democratic party. >> right. >> andas who the -- who has unified the democratic party behind her, so in that sense that's as -- a big change on the party front, but i will -- there's a wareg h to both

parties. our new poll that comes out this morning. barely a quarter of the country thinks we're headed in the right direction. there's a frustration and anxiety out thereto of this constant chunchlt you don constant churn. you don't want to be the political party that's being blamed for t keeping constant churn going. >> roger stone, a longtimey a of president trump allegedly seeking an e-mail were wikileaks just indicted by robert mueller. what do we gather o takeway from the latest indictment? >> it's interesting with roger stone and i think there's always been a debate about is he a key player, a bit play, an exaggerated role? i think the answer to all of those things is yes. i think it's a o little bit all of them. i think what this shows though is that the -- that robert mueller, he started to show how nhere was collusion between the trump campa and wikileaks.
6:46 am
now the -- and he's already made the case that wikileakss a front fussia intelligence in previous indictments. the question is he abl t connect the dots between russia and trumpet right now there's intermediaries in between, but it isn't always clear did they know exactly whatde they were ing with? >> right. >> but this is beginning of you see the road map that mueller may have that starts connecting the dots. at a minimum he's connected the dots from t wikileathe trump campaign. >> and they said a senior official directed him to do thaw and who that senior official? >> in that july per be one of two people, paul manafortr rick gates. >> okay. >> and if you think about who is cooperating, rick gates is cooperating. manafort obviously right now technically is not as the mueller team has said, do not count, but if you were to ask me who -- who is the most likely to beki t with roger stone, who would have a previous relationip with rog stone, paul manafort is his longtime
6:47 am
business partner and rick gates being a deputy to manafort. if you were to ask me educated uess, but i say this as somebody who is following this probe like anybody else. we don't know yet, t butt's a tantalizing little clue that mueller has more of the story to tell. he just told enough that he needed to put into that indictment. >> on ure edge of seats. >> i remember a few seats a tidal wave of mueller. >> with this government shutdown over-yish, i say rishisish, how mueller is starting to take center stage. >> catch chuck right after "news 4 today" and news 4 taking care
