even democrats in congress, ones denouncing the president managed to say nice words about last night's mission. so who is not on board? according to a piece by ben. the skeptics are limited to trump's troll army, racist and conspiracy mongers. the new york times came to the same conclusion. it came to a small and inflation agreement. they host racist views. why would white supremacist oppose the bombing of a nonwhite country. that part was not explained, just asserted. it's literally absurd. like so much news coverage is not news but propaganda designed to smear and deceive rather than to inform the news has never been fakeer. most of the washington establishment has been gung-ho. one of the few lawmakers is hawai'i congressman tulsi gabbard, a democrat who criticized it as reckless. she joins us from hawai'i. thanks for coming on. >> hello, tucker. >> tucker: you have heard media outlets that describe those as bigots. >> we should be concerned when any president of the united states launches an illegal and unconstitutional military strike against a foreign government. this is somethin

in a minute. after it failed, democrats do what they usually did. democrats remained perfect party unity. every democrat in congress voted against every civil rights measure. you cannot imagine the kind of unanimity among democrats today, can you? after they succeeded in defeating it, they did what they usually do -- they try to tar the republican party. they said you people are nothing but a bunch of nigger lovers. republicans in the past have said, "you are darn right. somebody has to stand up for black folks in the south," but they rated new reply, which was, "no, we aren't." at that point, african americans become without a little go allies and within a few years get dispossessed of citizenship in virginia and every other state that seceded and some that did not. during this era after 1890, northerners just did not have the guts, shall we say, or the energy to dispute the southern claim that they had seceded for states rights. "let's just let it go but then tell the story." they would not say to themselves that, but that's how it went. my title, as you mentioned -- i don't know if it's my title, every historic

reporter: on health care, has the president been reaching out or any one of the administration to democrats in congress? can you state specifically who? yes, does he still see the opportunity to work more closely with the democrats given the house freedom caucus? mr. spicer: yeah. i think the president made clear that he intends to work with anyone who wants to help him get to the number of votes. he obviously had a very productive discussion this weekend with senator paul. i know the vice president has been actively engaged as well as other members of the staff with members of the house in particular. and they're going to try to find a way forward. there are some -- i am not going to expose some of the members. some wanted to back channel this to offer solutions, constructive ways forward. but those conversations are happening at several levels within the white house to see if we can find a way forward to get the number of requisite votes. you know, the president continues to work hard. he's having these conversations. members have reached out to him to make their suggestions known. and so that's -- b

on the flip side, when we look at this, david, you may have seen politico and there were 12 democrats in congressd -- that are in red districts not really -- well, worried unnecessarily, at least not right now, of a donald trump coming after them. >> i will give you that missouri went for trump this time but also wisconsin, michigan, ohio and missouri. democratic turnout was very unusually low and claire mccaskill surprised people over and over again. so i think what's going on here, we're seeing a trend. the trend is that the last election had very low democratic turnout relative to what it was for president obama and this time we have a base that wants to see these guys go. >> when anybody claims that, they are losing. trump is changing the whole equation on the ground with voters. guys, i'm just telling you, the polls in missouri go to data. polls say he wins by five. he won by 19. a guy will stop immigration on demand and drain the swamp. by the way, he's doing just what he said, whether people believe it or not. >> they are trying to do what he said. >> he certainly is not. the justice depar

democrats will stand up against it. what kind of a position does this put the republicans in up there? >> well it gives remarkably little leverage especially the house leadership, little leverage in a congress when they control both houses. president trump picked the fights that are always on a fast timetable and because of the fast timetable give a lot of leverage to democrats, particularly in this area they were talking about fighting, trying to trade off a border wall which is not that popular and if they don't get it they'll kill off obamacare subsidies. not much mop peculiar. not much leverage on either side. it gives republicans little control over their agenda and the speed at which they do these things. >> let's look at some of the new polling out this morning, polling that the president is taking issue with. calls it fake news polls but here are the polls, abc news/"the washington post" poll low approval rating 42% for the president right now but if you look, jay, at his supporters, 96% of folks who voted for him said they would vote for him again. what do you make of that? they seem unfazed by the lack of legislative accomplishment outside of getting gorsuch through. >> two things

house, with process erpro -- th resistance on the streets has been very public, but what can democrats in congressually do to block his policies? i'm joined now by the number two democrat in the summit. dick durbin of illinois. let's start with the looming risk of a government shutdown, you just heard secretary kelly say that trump is going to try to pass the funding for the border wall. are senate democrat press papar shut down the government over this issue? >> the democrats in the house and the senate are cooperating with the white house to keep the government open. but we told the president weeks ago, don't try any political stunts, don't put any poison pills into this process. let's just do the responsible important work of funding the government. continue you remember? he said the mexicans were going to pay for the wall. now it's estimated it's going to cost $170 billion this wall. we have democrats and republicans all along the border opposing this deal. and a proposal from the president should not shut down the government. >> the white house is calling it something that has to be in the sp

it's not something we want to have. >> but getting a deal with democrats in congress will not be easy. >> once the president says i promised of altering my campaign, i don't think he said he was going to pass billions of dollars of cost of the wall onto the taxpayer. >> and so the white house is offering a deal. border wall funding in exchange for continued funding to shore up obamacare, but democrats may not see a reason to negotiate. >> we talked about this. we will end up being claimed no matter what role democrats play in this. it's just the way it goes now. >> and the administration clearly sees some potential problems here. vice president mike pence is rushing home from an overseas trip to help deal with congress as administration officials tried to play down the risks of a shutdown. >> we seen these things before, what they call nonessential services which shutdown all the essential services that would continue. social security checks would still go out. >> while it is true that we have been through this before, the political question becomes, who would shoulder the blame if, i
