but i also think that donald j. trump has had a long standing obsession with the nfl. trying to get into the league to own a people for four decades and always been rejected by the real billionaire boys club of america, the nfl owners. so this is a great way -- he last tried to get into the league by buying the buffalo bills in 2014. the on the other hand wanted nothing do with him so i don't know what is says about the priority offered the culture but the ultimate consolation price prize is to wind up in the white house' and get to troll from the bully pull pitpit. there's some revenge involved, some purge grievanses as to there often is with the president but it's fun for him and thinks it's a winning. >> you you talked to two-thirds of the inflame. did outside see their concern shift from cte to public protests? >> guest: yeah. certainly they're a very short-term think group of people. part of the dirty little secret of the league is the owners are quite -- they're very old, very rich, they don't often think in terms of what is this sport going to look like 40 years

that reason is president donald j. trump. the president is holding the federal government hostage for $5 billion of american taxpayer dollars for his unnecessary, ineffective, and expensive wall on the southern border. a wall, eventually, he repeatedly promised, gave his word to the american taxpayers that mexico would pay for it. now he wants american taxpayers to dig in their pockets and pay for it. the president's irresponsible behavior is astounding. his job like ours is to keep the federal government operating for the hundreds of millions of americans who depend on government services every day, from our national parks to housing services for the elderly, the disabled, our veterans. for assistance for our nation's farmers. in fact, two days ago, the president signed the farm bill and praised his efforts. today he's precipitated a shutdown that shuttered the doors to the u.s. department of agriculture's field offices, the same offices that farmers are going to have to go to to understand this new law. but the worst part o
