courtney cukube and michael warren.he first week back at the pentagon in 2018, what do you think was the dominant story of the week? >> tphoebg tphoebg, i would have to say, hugh. kim jong-un talked about how crippling the sanctions have been in this country. he made an overture to south korea saying he was willing to talk to them about the olympics specifically, about the potential for north korea to send a delegation to pyeongchang which begin in a couple of weeks. that led to south korea extending an invitation to north korea to actually speak. it's been set for january 9th. of course there's still some staff work that has to happen before that actually occurs. but it's looking promising that there will be discussion between north korea and south korea. they have already also opened up this line of communication that has been closed several years now. it's just a telephone. but i don't think most people realize when north korea and south korea communicate back and forth with one another they use a bull horn. i was in

to share their reporting and insights, bloomberg and kimberly dozier and the weekly standards michael warren. happy new year, everyone. >> happy new year. >> i thought that last point that nick made was really, really interesting and the difference between how president obama dealt with the protest that happened back in 2009 which he kept his mouth shut and how president trump is doing it. he is aggressively trying to encourage and fuel them and whether or not that could undermine the protests because it looks like it feeds the state's argument that this is outsiders. >> there is a very different situation facing in each case. in the obama case, there was the jcpoa and the iran nuclear deal. his comments when they came were a signal to the iranian administration. if you want a deal, you better stop cracking down on your people. with the trump administration, he threatened to pull out of the deal. his comments do more to in a good sense signal other countries around the world that we do care about human rights in the united states and if you do go too far, there could be censure from the amer

michael warren, good to see you.ks for being here this morning. >> bill: you wonder if in the end push comes to shove you take the deal. >> bill: the "washington post" says take the deal. it's as good as you are going to get. >> sandra: can you believe it 10 days away and we're all over again. >> bill: we knew that, right? nancy pelosi in some hot water when she said this over the weekend. >> last night the president put forth a plan and let me just say what i said last night. that plan is a campaign to make american white again. >> bill: so now house minority leader facing fire from members of her own party. plus remember this. >> together after 50 years of taking power away from the hands of the people in theirs states and local communities, we have started returning power and resources to them. >> sandra: a look at history as president trump gets ready to deliver his first state of the union tomorrow. can he unify the country and make his own place in history? >> bill: a dozen states shutting down in order to prev

with us to share their insights today, abu phillip and phil mattingly, michael warren of the weekly standard. let's start there, phil and karen especially from your perspective on the hill, they want to get it done. but as we saw in this exchange yesterday, this played out, the president wants to get it done. republicans and democrats want to get it done but the democrat want, let's do daca, the dreamers and talk about everything else later. the president says no let's do daca and my border wall. other republicans say no, let's do chain migration or the lottery program, some other tough immigration proposals. >> you need to split it up into buckets. there is a senate negotiation on, the negotiation that mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer blessed. that is moving in a good direction. you talk to anybody involved with it, there's not a ton of leaks how that's going. that's a good indicator things are progressing in a decent manner. they feel like at some point they might be able to put something out. issue is, that's not necessarily going to do the trick. that's not going to assuage democratic c

. >> neil: we were ♪ing that senator elizabeth warren voted thumbs down on this. michaelat that wants to find a reason middle ground, was this it? >> this wasn't. the idea that we -- we being both democrats and republicans allowed the government to get shut down and then now we don't have a daca agreement still. listen, it's time for democrats to grow a damn backbone at some point. we offered up the wall to president trump. we made concessions. to still walk away without 800,000 americans without protection to them. if democrats don't want to fight, people there. people like me and people all over the country make a principle fight. democrats caved on this one. they're right. >> neil: you better watch your language, young man. bob, the one thing i might look at here, this is essentially the same thing that republicans and democrats were looking at a little more than a week ago. >> that's right. >> neil: get daca on the table. let's talk about it, let's commit to doing something on that. but let's not shut the government down over this. let's reopen it and do that. so on t

david: and it does not involve warren buffett, but it is president trump, steve bannon, and michael wolffe story. is this anything else beyond mild interest? anastasia: i read -- jason: i read this somewhat graciously. michael wolff has been inside a stories in our time. he wrote a book about the.com and ventures in the mid-90 90's -- 1990's. one thing that jumped out to me is that this is a reminder that some of the key players in this white house to hail from wall street. there is an excerpt i read this morning from politico about and even a purportedly talking about gary cohn thinking, tom barrick was mentioned yesterday, someone who is familiar to people on wall street and private equity in hedge funds. said: but he came out and that he has not said it, and nobody actually checked it. but this brings in the credibility of michael wolff. i went back to a new republic 2004 article that look at what he had done in the past. scenesson his columns -- in his columns are not just creative, they are created. they also referenced my favorite story, why he has table five at this particular rest
