if those cracks become deeper, you mentioned thom tillis from my home state of north carolina. i'm wearing carolina blue, if thom tillis in a state that donald trump won and won comfortably, starts to move, that may shift the dynamic, but the challenge here is, and a challenge for both republicans and democrats, is why this impasse is going to continue for a lot longer, is both republicans and democrats have found themselves in a moral position on this. you either think the wall is the morally right thing to do or the morally wrong thing to do. and as long as that's your position, it appears this is going to go on for a lot longer. there's not a lot of room for deal making right now. >> on the morality issue of the wall, it's the word choice that nancy pelosi used, right? she said yesterday, a wall is, quote, immoral. there's an immorality to a wall. i wonder by using that language, do you worry she's sort of pushing some democrats, pushing democrats into a corner on this one where they can't get anything? >> no, i absolutely don't. look, the fact is that donald trump on the ca

susan collins is up in 2020, tom ti tillis, a member in 2020?ut many have zeroed in on susan collins and tom tillis, saying, we don't want a part of this. people say there are a lot of senate republicans in 2020. most of those are from trump states, very red states and are very comfortable being behind trump right now. i don't think those are the drivers. when you have someone like tom tillis who perhaps worked on immigration issues before would say, look, we have to work something out. what we said earlier is interesting, too. both sides will at some point have to blink here. bases are important and democrats will have to find some reason to come across the table. >> who can tell the president, you need to blink and take less? who can tell nancy pelosi, first couple weeks of speaker, you need to blink and give the president something? 2 billion, 3 billion. i don't know what the number is. >> i think the president's base and the people he listens that started this whole shutdown, talk show radio hosts, those types of people, could potentially ge

congress -- how do you get thom tillis, cory gardner, susan collins. they were great on supporting the president on kavanaugh. they were great on that but they are getting antsy about the shutdown. i'm hearing all the little -- i'm getting calls from people. the shutdown. the government has already shut down to the will of the people on this issue. when you are doing the polling business a few years ago, you demonstrated that. it's not changed. >> 2014. >> laura: i still cite that poll. that was one of the best things ever done. level of immigration, people wanted to stay the same or go down. >> in 2014, president obama had the children of the border crisis. secretary jeh johnson at homeland security then wrote memos that i brought with me tonight. fascinating reads. we were doing the polling in the midst of that and even then, americans agree they want these children by large be returned safely to their home countries. mexico has offered asylum and visas, safe passage to these northern triangle family units and unaccompanied children were coming here.

we've had a people's vote the people said they wish to leave if they didn't vote with a huge majority tilly's which is why i think it's quite important to recognise. that's and try and get a deal my suspicion is if if we do have a second referendum then i will never support a second reference to fact i will never vote for another referendum ever again on any subject but if we do have a second referendum i suspect the british sense of fair play will be coming to thoughts and if they leave it will be much greater i could see it being sixty forty plus people say no this is not the way we do it in the united kingdom we voted to leave this is not on saturday why do you think it's still better for the u.k. to leave the parliament's been around for hundreds and hundreds of years our legal institutions our social institutions our political institutions and we we were to different place because the e.u. is a political point yet and we don't need a new set of politics in the united kingdom overlaid over all this does work i thank you very much thank you a lot more on the backs of the bait in london whe

you could have tom tillis and susan collins flip, but you need 60 votes to pass anything. that is the stumbling block. even if you have 60 votes, one number objects, and it takes three days to work through the system. a lot of finger-pointing from two dysfunctional parties who have their own agendas that are focused on the 2020 election. it looks to me like they are saying we're just going to argue this out for two years and send it to the voters, which is a loss to the voters. impeachment is going to be a big decision of 2019. mulleellereport, -- report, think it is going to come out soon. there are a lot of allegations, but a lot of it we don't know. do you think the democratic party in the house move to impeach trump? haveave 70 democrats who gone on record saying impeachment should move forward. >> i hope not. standpoint,ratic president trump is the gift that keeps on giving. >> the media, too. on he has been a tremendous bo to those he castigates everyday. changedity is he has what the republican party stands for. i don't know what it stands for now because it used to

thom tillis. >> trump voters. >> thom tillis and cory gardner are up in 2020. so it's going to take leadership from the gop to go to donald trump and say we are going to vote to fund the government. and if you veto it, we're going to embarrass you and override your veto for the first time in your presidency. donald trump, the one thing he doesn't like is being embarrassed. and i think that's the only way. barring that, he said yesterday, he's going to continue this for weeks and weeks. imagine having no salary for weeks and weeks. >> no, it's incredible. well, they raised the question, could he relate. he said, yes, i can relate. and we've always adjusted, let them adjust. thank you, dean, wendy and joe. if the president is watching, adjust your screen. i'm not finished with this yet. coming up, i'll ask congresswoman from colorado, why she doesn't want to get paid until this is over. we'll be right back. we'll be right back. when i say, "drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved an average of $412," you probably won't believe me. but you can believe th

the first two i look at are cory gardener and thom tillis. running for reelection in states trending not blue -- >> i think colorado is blue. >> north carolina, pure swing state. >> those are folks who both on certain issues have been willing to demonstrate independence from the president. i assume it will increase with the economy goes south. >> i am hearing there are members who say -- people say they expect their members to be more vocal, be more critical in the next years. people have told me this. members aren't necessarily up in 2020, but i think there is a frustration there. the russia probe is getting closer and closer. these investigations as we already talked about are going to expand. if the president -- and the president hasn't been able to prove that he's able to govern without anything being chaotic. and so if the -- if his base konlts -- continues to support him but that base is tightening and tightening and then getting back to these center right republicans, i mean, they're going to be critical on how these members respond. >

you can have thom tillis and susan collins flip what you need 60 votes to pass these issues. that is really been the stumbling block is that 60 vote threshold. even if you have 60 votes as you do on some of these house bills one member objects, it could take up to three days in the senate to get through and it eats up a lot of your time. just understand how dysfunctional the system is. a lot of finger-pointing. you have to see you have two dysfunctional parties. they have their own agendas that are focused on the 2020 election. it looks to me like they're saying we're just can argue this up for 2 years and send it to the voters in 2020 which is a loss of 2 years frankly. in a competitive global economy that is not a good thing. >> i want to ask you one question because tom davis mentioned impeachment. that's going to be a big decision of 2019. the mueller report we think is going to come out soon, a lot of people thought it would come out by now. newt gingrich has said that if the report concludes that trump j walked and the left is going to pushed for impeachment. obviously

tom tillis is repeatedly brought up his bill to protect the special counsel. that was something he said he would re-introduce and you might see corey gardner and tom tillis bring up concerns with barr or protecting the special counsel. >> and again, for the moment rod rosenstein said he plans on leaving. our reporting is that number one, he's not going to rush out the door. number two, that part of his decision leaving is number one, he trusts barr and number two, he thinks mueller is past the critical point and mueller is now winding down and has what he needs to finish his investigation even though they authorized the grand jury for up to what? another six months. that tells you not short term and i want to go through the list and everyone at the white house now has a better rapport with the president and they're back on better terms however he's the one who appointed robert mueller as special counsel. he supported the indictment of 25 russian nationals and supported the prosecution of paul manafort, and the prosecution of michael flynn and rick gates includ

listen to want white house economic adviser kevin hassett said earlier today about china's economy tillis but make no mistake the chinese economy is on a path that we haven't seen in decades and so that's something that will affect companies that operate in china but the upside is that members of this council of economic advisors we estimated last year that china was stealing about five hundred billion dollars a year of our delectable property and you know and you know we've got them to the table that would we could actually make some serious progress now you know as there is speaks about china as being the ultimate seif and not the ultimate innovator we've heard from other analysts on this program that it's very difficult to to get an accurate statistical picture of the chinese economy have we told ourselves that china is perhaps more of a geo political or an economic threat than it really is. i think it's very easy to build them off as being the eight hundred pound gorilla when in fact they face extraordinary challenges one of them is economic another is demographic you know the one chi

i do have one small disagreement with senator tillis. like it in many cases when politicians are distracted by irrelevant fight because if they're actually busy legislating, what if they're legislating the wrong things? what if they're passing trump's bill to give him more power to impose protectionism on the world economy? so i only like politicians being busy, in the rare cases when they're doing something good for the economy. neil: all right, but we already know that the longer this drags on some market-friendly things, if you don't mind me being so crass get sidelined. there is delay and initial public offerings because of securities & exchange commission can't write off on them. there is a delay in crucial drug approvals, some very, very pricey, key to a lot of companies fortunes, to say nothing of life-saving measures, on and on we go. inspection of foods and the like, so this becomes to be a big pain for people beyond just everyday government workers, what do you think? >> two points on that. first, obviously even if you want muc

a state that hillary clinton won in 2016 and outside shots democrat cr joni ernst in iowa and tom tillis in north carolina. with so many considering a run for the presidency, how does that change the dynamic for this year? sahil: you will see a lot of jockeying among democrats. on pieces of legislation to cosponsor, everyone is getting ahead of things like medicare for all. senator elizabeth warren announced on new year's eve she is setting up an exploratory committee to run for 2020. she's pretty well-positioned to mantle of the non-populist wing of the party. others like kamala harris, kirsten gillibrand, they are -- cory booker, they are making moves you would need to make. katherine: a great clip from outgoing senator claire mccaskill for the final vote that she took in the senate in the last congress, she was in the democratic coat room, she looked around and realized half of these guys will try to run for president, so it will make it a very interesting year. i think she is probably so disappointed she will not be there. she might be glad. pedro: on the republican line, this is mic

as tilly well knows, the c.t.a. has suspended the funding, the $9.6 million of funding for the continuation of engineering drawings on the downtown extension. they've coupled that with a study that is going to be bid out for contract to study the management and operations of the transbay center. these two have been linked, but unfortunately, they are really not linked. the study of the operations and the future project delivery is a good idea at this time, and i think it should go forward, but i also think that funding should be released now because it is extremely destructive to that. if it is not going to be released immediately, that you empower mark and the tjpa staff to find funding elsewhere as a bridge loan to continue the engineering work. as i said, it is extraordinarily destructive, and it's a terrible idea to couple the two. i think perhaps naively, that our friends at salesforce may come through with a bridge loan, and i urge you to have mark to talk to salesforce and others, maybe boston properties, to

senators who are in cycle, they'll be running in 2020, you know, susan collins, cory gardner, tom tillis ernst and others in more marginal states or swing states, do not want a prolonged shutdown. i think cory gardner even made some -- i seemed to break a little bit today, from the rest of the pack, this is not good for him. and the longer these things go on, what i've learned, if they don't come to an agreement at the end of the day, they're going to pass what they call a clean continuing resolution and no one will get anything. i think we're in a really tough spot. it's going to take a while. >> there are approximately 800,000 federal workers facing economic uncertainty right now, because politicians in d.c. are refusing to come out of their corners and do the work necessary to reach some sort of compromise. in the end there's going to be some sort of compromise. >> there has to be. i've been through several of these shutdowns. remember in 2013 when ted cruz shut the government down over obamacare. it's the party that's making the demand that owns the shutdown. we could have ended that

senator tillis? >> i'll be brief. one question, because people have asked -- they've gone to the wall. it almost sounds like they're trying to suggest that you believe that the fix for border security is a 2,300 mile physical barrier from the pacific to the gulf. do you believe that's the best way to secure the border? >> i'm not sure what the current thinking is on this. but when i was -- >> have you ever advocated for a wall or some sort of monolithic structure as the plan to secure the border? >> no. but i do believe we need to have a system all the way across. when i was looking at this, you know, there were certain areas where, you know, a wall didn't make any sense. >> you've used the word "barrier." i don't think a 30-foot wall makes sense on, for example, a 1,000-foot cliff. >> right. >> or one that's out in the middle of nowhere. would you agree that, you know, when we get away from this childish -- everybody saying it's a wall or not -- that we're probably -- the president has repeatedly said we need wall st

folks like susan collins in maine or tom tillis in north carolina. by passing these bills out of the house, democrats are hopeful the senate republicans will be hammered with questions. is it worth keeping the government shut down over the border wall? and pressure will bubble up on mitch mcconnell to protect his own members by agreeing to reopen the government and delay this fight about the wall which is not really an issue that animates senate republicans. all of that says don't expect these bills to become law, at least not any time soon and buckle up because we're in this fight for a lot longer. >> hans, part of the head starching yesterday is the president basically undercut his vice president and acting chief of staff when he put out that $5.6 billion number for the wall. hans, go to the hill and offer $2.5 billion. i mean, is there anything clear about what the white house would accept? mcconnell says i'm not putting out anything for a vote unless the president will sign it. >> it was interesting the president is sticking to that public number

, people like martha mcsally in arizona and susan collins in maine, and even david perdue and tom tillise a president who has no aspiration or goal of speaking to the majority of the country, you can go pretty far afield without a majority opinion really changing his direction. >> wow. and 2020 is a long way away, particularly if you are a furloughed or federal worker or a contractor, et cetera. if you are any of those people, you were hoping that it's not the president, then republicans, their support for his wall notion, that that might crumble far sooner so as to get federal government up and running. declaring a national emergency doesn't necessarily ensure that government will be up and running, even if the president were to declare that. >> look, there are some republicans who hope that is face-saving maneuver. declaring a national emergency and reopening the government really would be a retreat that looks like an advance. it would allow him to claim he's escalating the dispute when in fact he would be backing down. i suspect that's why someone like lindsey graham, at least part of

director tilly chang. >> thank you, chair kim. my report today is to cover several applications for funding in keeping with the direction of this body to expand and diversify funding sources. this month we submitted a joint letter from sfcta and sfmta outlining our priorities and requests for ferry toll programs. it was the bridge toll approved by voters in may. we're requesting $21 million for treasure island to purchase two ferry vessels and support initial ferry operating costs in 2021. we've submitted two state grants. one is for the affordable housing sustainable community grant program, developing those with tida. it's meant to address the climate policies through land use and transportation. it's a $15 million housing and $5 million funding request for transportation on treasure island to include all the electric bus from a.c. transit as well as pedestrian bicycle connection. and, finally, a mobility as a service grant for caltrans. we're seeking this to help develop the idea that clipper can have a unique solution, such th
