troops in afghanistan challenged trump cancelled palosi military aircraft at the last minute she did finally make it to europe however and joined the global political elite at the munich security conference over the weekend. back home the democrat presides over the u.s. house of representatives palosi is no stranger to running the house as she has assumed the role before. less than a week ago she helped avert a second national shutdown by signing a bipartisan funding bill awarding trump a fraction of the billions of dollars he is demanding for his mexico border wall. that. her ten people say that they're. protecting them. and it will come here. to the constitution if they are you. going to check that. nancy pelosi has major clout on her home turf but what about in europe she could face an uphill battle to convince e.u. officials including the european commission president. that washington is still a trustworthy member of nato. joining me now is the. chief was covering that trip unless the washington post is describing this as a democrat's a reassuring still for european allies why th

be drawn out for years do you talk about a film to do with the with this talk of a win finance it palosi but i wonder how. this buzzing of heads this is seen by known politicians well i mean you know when people outside who are not paying attention to the day to day of washington look at this they say washington is broken but the truth is as washington's broken traditionally in the past eight years since you're bottom of industry and it's tended to favor republicans but in this case and democrats got a lot of blame for the the last shutdown the one that happened in twenty seventeen or the democrats were trying to force some kind of solution on doc on the children of undocumented workers but in this case the clear majority of the american public including those who don't low information voters who don't pay attention was that this is really trump shutdown and part of the reason is because he said it himself he said if there's a shutdown it's my i'm responsible for it and i'd be proud to shut down the government for this wall and it happened and the american people blamed for it let's look

heartening to me that both sides of the aisle spoke almost unanimously that she needed to apologize palosi she called the remarks anti-semitic she did not mince words with that and she said she had a conversation with the congresswoman the congresswoman did apologize she said she still listening and learning i'm afraid larry we're going to have a lot more listening and learning sessions for the congress and we're going into the future but there was near unanimity lease in washington d.c. amy why remarks are really outrageous and why it is an example why does the president call for congressman king to resign. i would like him to and in fact other republicans have they've said that congressman king needs to find a nother line of work lynne cheney said that mitch mcconnell certainly is no fan we've talked about it on this show i personally have had an experience with congress i don't think he has any business in congress i would like to hear the president ask you know ask for him to step down but i i would hope in two years i when voters do that themselves then where is all of fuzz about alex

congress said they have the power to say enough is enough and what we'll see is immediately first thing palosi will bring a resolution it will pass in the house of representatives. disapproving of this. eighteen days the senate then has to take a position very good chances that that gets a slim majority also disapproving so the law to end such a power grab will be on trump's desk he would probably veto it but we don't know that yet and then it's back but then there's the next line of defense which are the courts and the courts have not been kind to such initiatives on the part of the trumpet ministration a lot to keep track of there in washington at the moment or when thank you very much for filling us in our one caller from bard college here in berlin nice to be here. china's president xi jinping is scheduled to meet with u.s. trade negotiators who are seeking in accord with beijing two and a us china tariff dispute this is the second day of talks in the chinese capital reports suggest little progress has been made on u.s. demands that china crack down on forced technology transfers and reduc

nancy pelosi is on a charm offensive in brussels while together with a congressional delegation of palosiis hoping to convince officials there that washington remains committed to nato presence donald trump has regularly lashed out at the alliance saying other nato members must pull their weight and above all the more speaking at a press conference pelosi said the alliance is crucial for today's world. we need as we go forward because the challenges are more complicated than a bipolar relationship with. with the soviet union it's now much more diverse and therefore the friendships that we have much more important. u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi speaking earlier in a brussels well turning to europe's a top club tournament now in the round of sixteen in the champions league while tonight's premiere match up sees in england heavyweights liverpool hosting byron munich while a german coach you're going club has managed to bring new energy to liverpool and is gaining almost legendary status and legendary city. liverpool loves its legends among them the beatles and hometown club never pull f.c.

because brant today and also tomorrow on tuesday we have the speaker of the house here for example ned palosi she's in brussels and you can tell from the conversation ceased having here that this is a much different relation then donald trump has with european politicians yeah that's a very good point to make max max helping on the story for us tonight in brussels thank you. china's foreign ministry has accused us vice president my parents of being a hypocrite and acting like a bully sharp criticism that came after comments that the vice president has been making right here in europe over the weekend at the munich security conference pence warned america's european allies to steer clear of chinese tech giants such as who way he said using chinese equipment could compromise national security especially when it comes to rolling out new five g. networks. under president from so leadership the united states has also made it clear that china must address the long standing issues of intellectual property theft force technology transfer and other structural issues in china that have placed a burden

disapproval resolution is nearly certain to pass in the house newly controlled by democrats led by palosi sending a strong message to drop we're talking about it invasion of our country with drugs with human traffickers with all types of criminals and gangs. declared the emergency to bypass congress which denied him the five point seven billion dollars he requested to build a wall along the mexican border that declaration gives him access to more than eight billion dollars in emergency funds to build the wall the house disapproval resolution has the support of fifty eight former u.s. national security officials both democrats and republicans who've signed a letter saying there is no emergency at the border where illegal crossings are at a forty year low. it could still be a long time before president trump gets money for his border wall if he ever does first there's that emergency declaration in the house that could end in the senate where forty seven democrats need for republicans to join them to pass it or if it passes there it could end with president. and that's exactly what he's prom
