we are back with dan henninger, kim strassel, kate bachelder odell, james freeman.otball with job's report, big number. >> it is kind of nice who urged cut in corporate tax rate and reduction in red tape in washington for years and years to see results that are i think beautiful as the president might say. paul: wage is up too. >> december job report almost nothing in it you couldn't celebrate. revisions to previous meaning more jobs created than -- paul: 3.9 to 3.7, that's okay? >> more people coming to labor force. you have more than a million people in the prime working years since president trump got elected coming back to labor force or joining it. this is what we have been hoping for, labor force, participation going up, jobs up, wages up, really great news and especially interesting because we've heard so much about the tax cuts were just going to cause a sugar high, just the first quarter or second quarter boom, second quarter boom won't last and now looks like surprising strength at the end of the year. paul: let me be spoil sport here, that's my specialty,

we're back with dan henninger and bill mcgurn. dan, you've read the indictment. that? >> well, the thing people have to keep in mind here is this is an indictment of roger stone, a guy who's literally out of central casting. he's been around american politics, the fringes, the whole time, for 40 or 50 or years. paul: right. >> and the charge against him is that he lied to the fbi. and anyone who knows roger stone is going, roger stone lied? really? this is a guy who probably lies to the mirror in the morning. the real issue here has been from the beginning, started with the fbi's counterintelligence investigation of campaign become in 2016. back in 2016. and this is long removed from what the original collusion charge was all about, which i think people have to keep in mind. the collusion charge was that russian intelligence was interfering in the campaign of 2016. russian intelligence was interfering in a lot of campaigns around the world, but the idea that the trump campaign at a high level was doing that is far removed from what this stone indictment is about.

[laughter] but it's the state of our politics today. and, you know, we just saw the poll that said 56% of the american people are blaming trump and the republicans. but if you go a little bit deeper into these polls such as the pew research poll, what you find is that that republicans and democrats are totally divided on this issue. 80% of republicans do want -- do not want a bill without funding for the wall. 80 more percent of democrats do not support a bill if it has funding for the wall which suggests, paul, that president trump and nancy pelosi are not paying a particularly big political price with their bases. in fact, they're gaining support to the extent they get dug in which suggests we are going to be in this for a very long time. paul: well, but okay, so there is some damage here. i mean, i -- a quart

would it resinate with voters and who would follow her to democratic race this year, back with dan henningerm strassel, kate bachelder odell and james freeman. so kim, the message, you saw the video and her early message, what do you make of it? >> well, look, as you just said, elizabeth warren is trying to do trumpism but from the left. now, there are very important policy differences there. this is a woman who is all about medicare for all, she would like to see the federal government actually manufacture its own prescription drugs, she's obviously in favor of much higher taxes, she wants to put vast new restrictions on corporate america including requiring companies over a certain size to get a federal charter and put 40% of its board made of its workers, so these are some very radical ideas expanding the size of government and therefore very different. but to the extent -- paul: kim, is that going to play in a democratic primary, you and i are not going to go there, we don't want that, what about a democratic primary? >> well, yeah, absolutely. this is a party where the ascendant is prog

dan henninger is saying next tuesday the president could declare a big daca deal or a path to citizenship. let's bring in republican senator kevin cramer. i want to get back to what nancy pelosi was talking about today. she was talking about being open to new fencing and other barriers. there was a suggestion infrastructure will be part of the negotiations. she is talking about low-lying vehicle barriers and levee walls. >> i think we should celebrate every little bit of movement in the right direction. i think we ought to give people room to negotiate while three weeks isn't a long time and we almost chewed up one of them, it's still time. i'm encouraged by that language. the president has been generous in his rhetoric. he moved from a wall to barriers to fencing and back to that when things got icy for a while. this is how goish yaitions work. everyone starts in their corners. they retreat to them occasionally. but at least we are talking some of the same language. liz: we see this. when two sides are so solar opposite that they start to float trial balloons like that. like nancy pelosi

dan henninger is deputy editor of the editorial page of the wall street journal. column runs on thursday. when i read this editorial i said, see if we can get dan on the show. i want to hear more about the thinking on this. >> the thinking is that howard schultz would produce and in fact already has produced what we really need and what usually get in american politics which is a debate about some of the ideas that the current democrating contenders for the presidential nomination are putting on the table, such as medicare for all or free college tuition. he simply asked the question of whether we can afford medicare for all? and he ends up with this carpet bombing by everyone in the democratic party, democratic media and the press? extraordinary, trying to shut up somebody who is doing something that they're not going to be able to avoid, which is talk about the issue. >> dana: you're right. they are trying to make him shut up. when he was here yesterday talking about medicare for all, listen to what he said about senator harris' ideas. >> i find that so offensive

we're back with dan hen kerr, allysia -- dan henninger, allysia findley.democrats are proposing? >> they want an expansion of the government paying for health care entitlement. new york is a public option that de blasio is proposing. paul: which would be what? >> which would be the government provides health care for those that don't have access in the private market. paul: they can go to public hospitals. >> right. he's proposing a new insurance plan would be run by public hospitals. it's actually a back doorway of bailing out the public hospitals. paul: we've got jay insly, governor of washington state, proposing a public option to compete with private insurers. >> that's right. medicaid to an extent is a public option for people lower than 133% of the poverty line. in some states, what you also see is some governors are going to propose to expand medicaid, make that the public option. paul: kate, you've been digging into california, the great state of california. i know you love it. i love it. allysia particularly likes it. >> it's nice to hear you say

dan henninger, "wall street journal" deputy editor and fox news contributor. carol roth creator of future file legacy planning system. dan, i will start with you. you heard the senator and two votes being voted down today in the senate as expected. people are talking about zero growth in the first quarter, if we go on like this for the first three months of the year. where do you think this heads? >> well it has to eventually head to a resolution and i think the problem is, this send tirely political, susan, from the democratic side, the belief is, they feel they have the opinion polls at least among democrats behind them, they cannot sign on to anything in which the media will then immediately say, like, social media will say, within 15 seconds, trump won, pelosi lost. similarly the white house will not sign on to the opposite, pelosi wins, trump loses. it resolves around that $5 billion for something on the border. almost seems to absurd to talk about it this way but we're talking about vocabulary. trump has said you can have something that isn't a quote, unq

dan henninger, from "the wall street journal," editorial page deputy editor and dan is also a fox newswe also talk about our own politics that way, dan, but it is theirs. ash put it succinctly, you have the theresa may deal, no deal or no "brexit" at all, i guess those are the three choices, a, b, or c? >> here i am the specialist on messes. connell: that's right. >> we'll sort our way through this i think, you know, probably they will simply grind forward with this. you know, brexit seems to be going on forever but you think back several years, connell. we had the greek debt crisis. we thought then that would destroy the european union. they simply kept going forward until they -- connell: delay, delay, delay? >> delay, delay, and i think that is what will happen here. problem i let eu will give them a extension on the march 29th deadline. one of the elements not mentioned here, the eu seems not intransigent but tough holding the line on compromise it made with the eu. you have this talk about the possibility of a releagues looming across europe. connell: right. >> the possibility the

dan henninger is deputy editor from the editorial page. what do you mean not so fast?nst donald trump which he said he would support some of the trump's policies but would call him out if he were sexist, racist, doing anything a threat to our democracy. the message to me there, was, this is a marker that there is a sense among some republicans the president's support is weakening. there could be a challenge to him in new hampshire from some of these other republicans. and my view is, they should forget it, because they don't understand the depth and reasons for the president's support. roll the tape back to, way back to 2016. during those primaries did anybody think donald trump could become president of the united states? they thought he had no chance of all these skilled and accomplished politicians. somehow, 63 million americans voted for donald trump. it wasn't just about people that were impacted places like wilkes-barre, pennsylvania, it was a lot of normal americans. what i have learned over the past two years, often from my own readers is, they liked trump beca
