it is a process that would take a long time, greater than 2020 when he is up for eelection. in the short term, there seems to be an assumption that government would quickly reopen and president trump would agree to that, the house and senate could pass some short-term spending bill to get things opening up again, but i'm not sure it will be that straightforward. in the meantime, we are about to cross into the longest shutdown in government history. >> why would it not be that straightforward? passing a continuing concurrent resolution? nicholas: they could pass a continuing resolution. the bigger issue is getting the est of the big bills done. the omnibus that would include the seven bills that have yet to be passed. there are other issues left, including detention beds for .c.e., which the president has asked for up to 52,000, i believe, and the current level is ability 40,000. there is also a big issue about the mexico city policy, which was the first reagan administration policy prohibiting the use of u.s. taxpayer funds to fund certain family planning organizations and n

he did it with stormy daniels, the payment michael cohen made to her during the eelection. he essentially said look, this is something the president repaid michael cohen for. that was news. >> i want to play that clip. basically saying let me let you in on a little secret. >> that money was not campaign money. sorry i'm giving you a fact you don't know. it's not campaign money. no campaign finance violation. so they funneled it through the law firm. and the president repaid it. oh, i didn't know he did. >> yep. >> anden the it turned out that's exactly what happened. >> another thing is that giuliani is shifting it further saying the only crime posable to be committed here is the habbing. hacking. we can play that game. right around the time the dnc was hacked, george papadopoulos was in london being the russians had dirt on hillary clinton. paul manafort is not the be all end all here. >> wrote a piece, coming to terms with the impeachment process. starting a formal inquiry. "it's time for congress to judge the president's fitness to serve. impeach." and impeachment is a p

founder of the group border angels and newly eelected to represent el paso. live in the largest binational community, right on the border. what do you see from your perspective? >> thanks for having me. i appreciate it. you know el paso is one of the safest communities in the nation. we have been for about 15 years. we have a wall. we were safe before a wall was constructed. and you're right. the challenge that we are facing and there is a challenge right now on our southern border, it is chaos that has been created by this administration. this administration has decided to use cruelty as a public policy as a way to deter immigrants from seeking asylum in the united states and it's that cruelty that we are having to deal with, cruelty that means agents are preventing asylum seekers from coming across. so many are making more treacherous journeys to look for place wheres they can go around the wall or find other ways into the united states. it is chaos created by the president. >> you've worked with folks on the border for years. where are things over the cour

for example if elizabeth warren were eelected she wrote harry truman couldn't seize steel mills and that was the korean war. and if the president did, the house can overturn it in a joint resolution. the level of ignorance by the republicans on the actual law is outstanding. especially considering they're the party that's supposed to uphold the constitution. and they'll argue this is what's creating job. there are more jobs being created than solar and wind. 1200 as any other industry. in 2016 solar jobs grew 25%. wind jobs grew 32%. this is about economic growth, not just the environment. >> the other reason i think this is key can at this moment the democrat for years have said we should do something. there was a bill that happened the last time there was unified control but that's different from saying we're in crisis and we need to mobilize for a peaceful equivalent for war. is that how you see it right now? >> i think the crisis is so severe and as you know with the united nations report, we were underestimating, all of us, the scientists of how soon the crisis is going to hit. this
