let's bring in our panel, josh green, jonathan martin. gentlemen, a lot of news out of that interview with marc short. two really big things, one we're making significant progress on the shutdown negotiations. i think we're all glad to hear that. >> and the president tweets. >> and the president tweets. >> mid-interview, by the way. not helpful for marc short trying to make his argument. the second headline here mr. martin to you, the democrats are tieing our hands because they schumer will only appropriate billions of dollars in wall funding for one year and that is not going to work. how do you see it? >> i think there's a lot of public posturing amid some more substantive and serious private conversations. i think that both sides publicly have to come out and sound tough to try to create the appearance of hanging tough for their bases and trying to win the p.r. fight here. privately what is happening at this hour indeed all morning is that you're going to have senate democrats in conversation with senate republicans, not necessarily th

. >> josh, jonathan lemire. you write these candidates have not been appropriately vetted.ere cautionary details about this, john ossoff last year, in an extreme case, roy moore where he was not vetted as well as he should have been. are democrats trying to correct the eshoo and vet these canned dts before the midterms? >> they're trying. one of the stories i write about is the race involving darrell issa, one of the most vulnerable house republicans in the country. one of the leading candidates is trying to become the youngest woman congressman ever elected to congress. two years ago she started her career in politics, working in a low to mid-level commission on the hillary clinton campaign. she told me she was trying to get a job working on a campaign trying to get her feet wet in the world of congressional politics. a lot of people looking for a candidate to run against darrell issa said why don't you run. she didn't have a lot of experience in government and she's one of the top candidates in the country looking to run against one of the most vulnerable house republican

josh: i love the lane. no, you have to go under this. jonathanthe problem with that if you saw the video, there is a guy, a firefighter at the other end. if you have the paramedic an event. you have to ask yourself. should i be doing this? nancy: you don't have to be in the water. just be outside with exposed skin for a while and have tough time. josh: it's remarkable how much are under the wind chill advisories and the warnings. tonight we get a break and later this week we see more put out for our area as well. we topped out to 26th degrees. this is the seventh coldest that we have for the record. gaithersburg is stuck around 21. annapolis near 23. 23 in ocracoke. 21 for centreville. it's 21 for crofton. it's cold everywhere you go. with the clear skies the temperatures drop quickly and easily. thre look for, for the overnight spread. some places this morning woke up at 1 degree. so a little bit of an improvement you could call it for tomorrow morning. but really that is still dangerous cold. especially the breeze we hang on to. so limit times

josh stein. >> .. . also, harold holzer, the jonathan director of roosevelt house who is in albany this evening. so we're very excited to have ken whyte here to talk about his biography of hoover. and also to have amity shlaes to interview him. this is not a house in herbert hoover historically or in the present day talked about often or usually too kindly. so one thing that i want to say about ken whyte in the introduction to his book says that indictment and advocacy shape and often overwhelm the story of the man, herbert hoover. i think there has been more indictment of herbert hoover in these halls than anywhere else perhaps because franklin and eleanor roosevelt lived here in new york in this house during the 1932 campaign. so i think we'll hear a different story of the 1932 campaign than you might have heard them interpret it as being. we met earlier in the franklin and eleanor roosevelt library on the second floor which is where franklin roosevelt met with prospective cabinet members after the 1932 election. i have a feeling they were talking about just what a bad job herbert hoover had b
