that where you go is a means to an end way though basically has assumed the interim prescious you're bennis well not proclaiming the surface wrongly to me how for training but basically even compliance with article two three three of the constitution which says that basically when there's a power vacuum the head of the national assembly in this case one will need to step in i'm call for elections does basically what happened after my little initiated a second term not recognized by the international community broadly he's do something they're going to sell for nineteen should have not also been recognized by international community because there were also allegations of fraud by any case there is no dispute dup there to soften it the elections were indeed the result of a front so what i mean he's what goes aim is not to conduct a long term government has a basically two critical issues one feel very lections and i end up ok let's let me bring it out let me bring in higher again u.s. president all trump has said that he is keeping all options on the table that includes not necessarily ruling

bennie thompson is looking for the homeland secretary to show up. there's a lot to talk about there. there is apparently an agreement between the judiciary committee to have the acting attorney general, whitaker, show up, even if he is no longer the attorney general by february 8 and talk about his tenure as the acting secretary. and the issues that have come up there. there is a lot of pushing there, and i imagine that like secretary mnuchin there are a lot of folks looking to push that off, particularly in the middle of a shut down because they will become the punching bags for this conversation. jenny, ons hear from the republican line in ohio. go ahead. caller: i have a question, was it gerald ford, the first president in office when the shutdown began and what was the reason behind the first government shut down? i would really like to know. and say they go for four months, with the government help their -- help them keep their house? is there a law they could pass for that? about thenly tell you shutdowns i have covered, i want theay i covered

"sorry, benny thompson. saying, "maybe there is some room for this." and listen and respond. >> i would not rule out a wall in certain instances. the notion that we can't have barriers is just something that is not true. again, martha, you have to have a plan. the plan that the president initially started with is not where he is now. so we don't know where he will be tomorrow. >> melissa: okay, so i have heard that exact phrase. that must be in some talking points. >> capri: i never read talking points that are said to me, that's pretty clear. >> melissa: that we don't know where he will be tomorrow. >> capri: the argument is, he said on the campaign trail that mexico would pay for the wall. all this other stuff. okay, that very will they be the case, we live in the reality now and we have direct what that is. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are going to face just what we saw from this member of congress, that the rake and file members -- particularly those democrats that are in districts where trump was successful -- they are going to start to defect a

. >>> let's go to congressman bennie thompson of mississippi and he's the chairman of the house homeland security committee. he is joining me by phone. congressman, i wonder what you make of the fact that the president of the united states mentioned rape and crime and drugs in speaking of the migrants who are desperately trying to seek asylum in the united states. he mentioned those things repeatedly. but nothing about the federal workers to include tsa workers, air traffic controllers, people responsible for the national security of the united states, say nothing of his own secret service. >> well it was unfortunate, joy. as you know, the president is notorious for using that kind of language when he's referring to migrants. more importantly, for a lot ever us, he said nothing about the 800,000 federal employees who are, at this point, without a paycheck. and it appears that he does not care. so today was a messaging effort, a messaging stunt and nothing more. so it is unfortunate. i wish the president -- we have democratic leadership. he can't pick the democratic leadership to talk to.

bennie thompson homeland security show up.there is apparently an agreement between the judiciary committee to have acting attorney general whitaker short evening is no longer attorney general, , but i think the eighth, sometime in early december 2 talk about his tenure as acting secretary and love issues that come up there. a lotot of pushing there, and i imagine like secretary mnuchin there may be a lot of folks are looking to push them off, particularly in the middle of a shutdown because they will become the punching bags for this conversation. >> host: lecture from ohio, republican line. good morning. you were on. go ahead. >> caller: thank you thank you. hey, i have a question. was it gerald ford the very first president in office when the shutdown began? and what was the reason behind the first government shutdown? i really would like to know. and say that this is the longest conflict said they go for four months without pay. with the coming help them keep their house or with the present summer is a long? thank you. >> g
