that age, and so there was a very big push for a new generation and it was not an accident that hakeem jeffries who a couple of hours ago i guess it was now gave the speech nominating her. he is the democratic caucus chair, that he is the one to do so. it seemed to me that that was an indication that she was making clear she was passing the baton to a new generation. >> gloria, what do you think? >> i agree with dana. and let me say dana's interview with her was absolutely amazing because she was so honest about what it has taken for her to get where she is. i was sitting up in the chamber in 2007 when she was first elected speaker and was surrounded by her children and her grandchildren, and it was such a moment because of course it was the first woman speaker and here she is again having lost the house, been defeated, people in her own party saying she's too old, we need new blood, and she made it very clear as she did to dana in dana's interview that she knows how to count and she knows how to get things done. if you talk to anybody in the obama administration, they will tell you, including

. >> for more on the president and russia and the role congress has to play, i'm joined by hakeem jeffries. your reaction the president had another undisclezed and it appeared substantive conversation with vladimir putin? >> the more we learn, the more every single american should be concerned about the relationship bedon on the and russia and what may or may not have taken place during the 2016 campaign. what's clear to me is there was a triangular relationship, perhaps facilitated by roger stone, one of the president's best friends. there's greing evidence there was a conspiracy to sell out our democracy too, artificially place donald trump in the white house. we'll have have to threat mueller investigation run its course before we can determine who is culpable. but the more we learn about the fact president trump continues to play footsy with vladimir putin, the more concerned we shouldby. >> obviously michael cohen was going to come 37th before the house government oversight committee. shouldn't there be open public hearings, starting now. >> first, we as house democrats should continu

and you add to that the members of congress, maxine waters, jerry nadler, and hakeem jeffries, these individuals that have been waiting for this fight for a long time. and look, this is at a point where it is incredibly petty. and the sad outcome is there are workers who are not getting paid, people are missing medication doses as a result of this. and the blame is going to fall on donald trump and the republicans. and i do not think it is -- it is not an opportunity for the democrats to sit back and watch this. they have been proactive in pushing legislation to end the shutdown, but the rebel against have not taken the bait. david: let's if there is a way to get past this. we spoke with the republican congressman from upstate new york, and he said he thought after meeting with the president, that there could be a way forward. here is what he had to say. >> you are not going to have a wall from coast-to-coast. that is why i was pleased to see denny lawyer referencing -- steny hoyer referencing the need for border barriers, a structure that makes sense in certain portions of that 2000

said that, especially a clip on hakeem jeffries. i think it may be more the on line versus real life thing, but the ones in person are more about substance than mr. trump. >> thanks for joining us for this hypocrisy. brianna keilar joins us right now. >> i'm brianna keilar live from cnn's washington headquarters. nearly a million federal workers on their way to missing their second paycheck since the shutdown began. now they're in search of a deal. >>> no, they're not tapes but i've listened to them, says rudy giuliani in an effort to clean up a wild mess. >>> why contenders are making more stops on the all apologies tour. >>> and in the case of a confrontation between catholic high school students and a nati native. >>> another pay period without a paycheck. that is the situation that more than 800,000 federal workers are facing as the partial shutdown stretches. there will be no paychecks this friday by workers involved in the shuftd p many. the political stealmate over the shutdown in the border wall is showing no signing. here's

day, it holds a different weight on the same day hakeem jeffries in the house leadership, not runningcalled trump the grand wizard of 1600 pennsylvania avenue. this type of language here, is it appropriate? is it effective? >> bernie sanders got to where he is because he's outspoken. he has a very loyal following. i think this is what they like about him. there were plenty of people who liked other candidates in this race, and we will have a big field. this is why bernie sanders is who he is, has the following of the party, wasn't big enough in 2016, to take the nomination away from hillary clinton although people still loyal to him will still dispute that. in the end, i still think, just looking at it from my experience over the last couple of years here, i actually think the american people are looking for somebody looking for -- trying to bring us together, find common ground. i think this kind of language may help you stand out in the democratic primary, not sure it's what the american people want to turn to after donald trump. >> i have one more comment about jeffries, why go the

hakeem jeffries/ (d) new york:"you have coast guard workers who are working without pay. we have border patrol agents working without pay, tsa agents working without pay. that is unconscionable."the only sign of bipartisanship... was the condemnation of iowa g-o-p congressman steve king for his comments to the new york times.king... who has made racists comments in the past... said: "white nationalist, white supremacist, western civilization - how did that language become offensive?" after being stripped of his committee assignments, king actually supported a resolution rejecting his own remarks.rep. steve king:"i can tell you this. that ideology never shows up in my head, i don't know how it could possibly come out of my mouth." king has become a provocateur on the issue of race for some time.rep. steve king:"they'd construct itself to be a 12 foot finished wall..."back in 2006 showing off his own proposal for a wall on the border he compared migrants to livestock.rep. steve king:"we could also electrify this wire with the kind of current that wouldn't kill somebody but

two democrats now, governor, go in leadership positions, steny hoyer and hakeem jeffries have both defended newest members against these charges. like tlaib and oh far against these charges >>> one thing you can always see about the democrats, they will stay hitched to their wagon even if their wagon is headed off a cliff. the used to be the democrats were a more rear of israel and its independence and freedom and as a safe state for jewish people than republicans, that no longer is the case. they have pretty much abandoned any real commitment and reliability to the freedom that exists in israel. and they've taken up with radical groups and people who are clearly and virtually unat poll jet clit anti-semitic. it's just stunning. it's a form of racism that's completely acceptable in our culture today. >> laura: congressman tlaib and omar they invariably go to you're anti-muslim, it's somehow xenophobic or racist or an iteration of one of those attacks. for people like us, who support israel, the state of israel, overwhelmingly in congress and the senate passed a resolution today with marco r

a member of the democratic leadership, hakeem jeffries says no way would they support a midievel wall from sea to shining sea. >> dana: getting frustrating, these definitions, but we'll let them do their work. are lawmakers trying to cut the president out of the talks? >> reporter: no. on the contrary, they plan to keep him in the loop, at least the republicans do, to make sure whatever ideas they are kicking around could earn his signature at some point. >> harris: do you want the president to stay out of this, as senator chuck shumer said? >> no. the president has to be part of it. we have to get to a bill that he'll sign. he has to be part of the discussion, the negotiation. >> reporter: this big meeting, the start of the border wall bill negotiations with members of the house and the senate, democrats and republicans, is running about half hour late but a there was a very long series of votes in the house. but we do expect it to get under way any minute now, dana. >> dana: thank you. protesters in cities across venezuela are in the streets after the country's opposition leader jua

"another reviewer said andrew weissmann. that is a democrat she fears the most. that is mueller's pitbull that was at hillary's victory party. we want to hear from you. our question of the day. you think the democratic party's urging the american dream? at sean hannity on twitter, hannity entity outcome. let not your heart be troubled because laura ingraham is up next. >> laura: villain of the day, i have to come up with my own. i

. >> yes, and as hakeem jeffries just said live on-air just moments ago, as these bills now head to the senate what the house has sent to the senate are two bills that the senate has been very, very happy to not only support but act on and vote for in the past with absolutely no controversy on either side of the aisle. so this is calling the question in terms of whether or not the border wall is the thing that republicans in the senate want to be known for in terms of keeping the government shutdown. this absolutely eliminates all other variables and puts them on them. >> for this and other reasons this next hour is going to proceed with a theme, and it's something i have stolen from a headline in "the new york times" today which is that 2019 will be the worst year of donald trump's life. and we are going to carry that through the hour on several different fronts. >> you know, didn't everybody have a terrible 7th grade, though? do we really know -- i mean -- >> we have a feeling he didn't. we just have a feeling he didn't. >> fair enough. >> there's something that feels a little spoiled

we saw unfortunately, you know when barbara lee did not win and hakeem jeffries elevated, back channelsrly a generational divide, but nancy pelosi created a spot for barbara lee to have leadership. right? she understands many of the moving parts. she understands that a lot of these young freshmen are coming in with a lot of energy and exuberance and don't even know how to turn the lights on. she's saying, listen, let's work together. right? i respect the fact you want to change things. the difference is, the framers actually don't make it easy for us to change things for a reason. they don't want us to be exuberance and turn the "titanic" and the bathtub. she's ecenteressentially sayinge help you learn the ropes and then come in with new and fresh ideas. we have to walk and chew gum same time especially talking policy and impeachment. >> a lot of this is forced on nancy pelosi. because they're exuberant, outspoken and challenged her. it's good. she's scared and knows she has to play to both sides. >> unlike some of the male leadership seen in the past, she's smart enough to realize to c

hakeem jeffries was one of thos those. >> he just voted for nancy pelosi.y wanted the job. >> i wish that seth would have come out and run. i think there is a complicated series of gender dynamics and racial dynamics that are playing out in the democratic party. >> harris: we've got to break that down. how complicated does it get? >> there is a movement afoot in the democratic party at the moment. i don't necessarily agree with it. it says that, if we -- we can't get rid of nancy pelosi as a woman, and replace her as a man. i think that's incorrect. if you think there someone better for the job that happens to be a man, let's go for it. >> harris: let's look at the dynamics, they are. what you're saying is you might keep somebody who you feel politically it's time to get rid of, because she is a woman. that doesn't help the cause as women. no matter whose policy you lean toward. >> that's the problem with the primary electorate 2020, the over-focus on gender and racial makeup as opposed to what is actually best for those people and those communities and tho

two democrats now, governor, and leadership positions, steny hoyer and hakeem jeffries, have both defendedewest members, like tlaib, omar, and others against these charges. >> one thing you can always count on -- i was going to say, the one thing you always see about the democrats, they will stay hitched to their wagon even if their wagon is headed off the cliff. it used to be that democrats were a more reliable supporter of israel and its independence and freedom and as a safe state for jewish people than were republicans. that no longer is the case. they have pretty much abandoned any real commitment and reliability to the freedom that exists in israel and they are taken up with radical groups, and people who are clearly and virtually and if and if i unapologetically anti-semitic. it is just stunning. it's a form of racism that is completely acceptable in our culture today. >> laura: congresswoman tlaib and omar, anytime something like this is brought up, they invariably go to "you are anti-muslim, you are anti-palestinian," it somehow xenophobic or racist, and iteration of one of those
