but i'm one to learn from mistakes, and i'm wondering if given the fact that miss pelosi is the speaker of the house of representatives, if the commission were to send her a letter suggesting that in the bankruptcy court system, the -- it seems that public financing funds should be a protected class so that we would have a right in the final settlements of whatever bankruptcy prose she's in for a share of our funds. it's possible that -- that we could, in fact, recover those public funds. that case was quite egregious, even though most of you missed it. but there were ten -- many cases where this person with a credit card -- i mean, an a.t.m. card -- i'm assuming it was miss sweet or her treasurer, would go to the a.t.m. and withdraw $40. and that was done 100 times. so it was clear they were using public funds as a cash cow. and now, it's essentially -- we have no rights in bankruptcy court. it seems like if we appropriately notified miss pelosi of that, she might sponsor a bankruptcy amendment, a bankruptcy code amendment that might be of use to us in the future and certainly other ad

i'm surprised miss pelosi and house democrats who have gotten the majority don't want to use that majority to do anything, other than obstruct president trump. i think federal employees deserve better. the american people deserve better. this is, as i said earlier, a con trived phoney crisis. we should man up, step up and deal with this in a way that i think our constituents expect us to do. >> dana: my last question for you would be, do you think that everyone is very clear on where each other stands or are the democrats, they say they're waiting for the administration to settle in on exactly what they want. did you see any sort of movement on the democratic side when the president said he's willing to go from concrete to steel slats? >> i think the democrats are just burning time on the clock. they really are not serious about engaging with the president. again, this is not rocket science. we know what the experts, the border patrol told us they need. they need physical barriers in hard to control places. they need technology and people. more border patrol, to be able to apprehend people

surely correct and part of the difficulty is that we're making political calculations to be candid miss pelosi is not really concerned whether there's an impeachable offense she's concerned whether going forward is going to impair the democrats' ability to win the two thousand and twenty presidential election that is why when she was first house speaker in two thousand and six she said impeachment is off the table this is after the revelations that president bush and vice president cheney had been implicated in what's now known as torture waterboarding whatever she didn't want to push forward i was involved in fact and they scheduled a hearing on impeachment that was canceled because miss pelosi went to the chairman john conyers and said if you have a hearing yeah i'm going to fire you so she was very very cherry because her primary concern was capturing the white house in two thousand and eight and what she was successful barack obama did win the election and moreover in this this context however i think she has far less influence over the rank and file than she did in two thousand and six fo

where nancy pelosi just picked up the gavel for the first time. in case you missed it the 115th session of the congress started two hours ago. nancy pelosi is making history being the speaker of the house once again. democrats are taking control following last year's mid-term elections. >> well, new for you at 11:00, prosecutors in florida are not going to pursue domestic violence charges against nfl player rubin foster. it's been more than a month of this. no word on why charges are being dismissed. foster was arrested at a tampa hotel in november following an incident involving a player -- involving the player and the companion who police have identified as the same woman who accused foster of hitting her back in february. a woman recanted the earlier accusations. >> right now a manhunt is under way in oakland for a drier who hit a 14-year-old boy while he was riding his bike. it happened yesterday afternoon near the fruitvale b.a.r.t. station and police say the impact was so intense the boys bike was thrown into the air and sent us this video of the aftermath. he

and miss pelosi says, "well, open the government and we will talk. but under no circumstances am i going to agree to any border wall funding." and i guess she thinks we ought to tear down the 600 miles of border wall we have now. and i just don't think that's realistic. i'm sorry that speaker pelosi could make her trip, but i don't want to tell her what to do with her time. she is a smart, talented lady. she is speaker of the house. but, doggone it, we went through this before when the president stayed in washington over christmas and she went to hawaii. and now she wants to go to afghanistan, and our troops are important but she needs to be in washington to negotiate. the president canceled his trip to davis i was going to the form, i canceled mine. a bunch of us did. we need to get this worked out. until miss pelosi recognized that you can to secure a 1900-mile border without using a barrier, i just think that's not middle ground. that's left field. >> harris: senator kennedy, thank you very much. house majority leader steny hoyer and others has se

so i would encourage miss pelosi to just kind of settle in, begin to negotiate. would encourage the dreamers to encourage her to look at a way for them to have legalization. and to have a recognition that there is an offer on the table that would give work permits. and we'll see what pelosi end up doing with this. liz: senator marcia backburn, great to see you. the state department. u.s. state department out with a travel warning for americans heading to china saying exercise increased caution. there are concerns that china is enforcing laws arbitrarily there and suddenly stopping people from leaving. slapping surprise exit bans and u.s. citizens. americans possibly could be kept up to several years under the surprise ban. and most of of the time they don't even know they are band from leaving china until they try to. president trump and the democrats are at a stand still on the shutdown, thousands of border patrol agents on the borders are protecting our countryout without pay. to that story we brought you first here last night. new details coming in on the chin

the president was in the white house all weekend when miss pelosi was in hawaii. he was ready to negotiate. it's up to the democrats to put something on the table. susan: it's nice to see them back from their christmas vacation. congressman, let me ask you one more question. how much long doer you think the standoff will take? >> it depend on i think if public opinion shifts where these democrats who are holding on. not one of them voted for the goodlatte bill or house bill. if they start calling them and say this is a matter of national security, and it puts pressure on them,en i think they will have to relent. that's the only way it will have a break. the president won't relent on this nor should he. susan: border crossing have increased the last few months. take a look at the violent pictures from the southern border. tear gassing mobs and migrants lobbing rocks. >> it's an invasion. you can't have that as a sovereign nation. now is a time, if we don't do it now, then when will we do it? i don't think we will if it's not done now. we have shown the fortitude to

the leadership in the democratic party, in this case, miss pelosi, and as you know, the leader in the senate, and speaker pelosi has been incredibly adamant on her view on this. i don't want to hear i won't give you a penny on the wall. i'm not sure she's incentivized now to get something she might have been. for the good of goodwill in the congress, i hope she'll be willing to compromise a little bit on this. we'll wait and see, i guess. >> the majority of americans don't want a wall. >> yeah. well, frankly it depends on what polling you look at, but also, i don't want a wall. many times they're asking the american people, do you want a wall, and people envision this 2,000-mile wall from texas to san diego, and i wouldn't sthapt and never have. i think many times that's what mommy in mind many. almost all americans ghaet a proposal. that's what we're talking about here. we're not talking about a 2,000-mile wall. they're saying we need a physical barrier here. >> it depends on what each side calls it. thank you so much for being with us. >>> senator kamala harris vowing to get rid of

democrat, see a misses pelosi -- mrs. pelosi -- pelosi'sut in name put in. we will also see republican kevin mccarthy put in, the minority leader. his name was put in by liz cheney, the newly elected chair of the republican conference. there will be brief nominating speeches and then there will be l of the membership. each member of the house will vote by voice. votely, we see the house via electronic device and as for the doing now quorum call. we expect some democrats will not vote for mrs. pelosi. some may vote for other candidates. other members or nonmembers as the case maybe. the speaker of the house does not have to be a member of the house or they may vote present. development over whether pelosi has the votes. -- republicans are likely to vote for representative mccarthy, but that will take time because each member votes by voice. c-span's camera showing the press gallery, calling members to the floor to establish a quorum. once the speakership has happened, what is the next step in the process? there is a new set of rules. >> the house, unlike the

fashion can work and they are willing to meet the president at least part of the way, everyone except miss pelosi. i go back to hoping she will let senator schumer off the leash. i think we then make some movement. connell: you're saying you asked specifically about that. i assume that is in the not so distant past like last few minutes and hours you were told there are no meetings planned? >> no, no. right now the leadership, the house and senate leadership, i'm sorry, schumer and mcconnell are meeting. connell: okay. >> and schumer will have the opportunity to kind of lay out any movement they would be willing to do. connell: nothing with the president or speaker that you know of, is your point? >> i figure if you're speaking to schumer you must be speaking to pelosi because they will be pretty joined at the hip on think, bottom line, any sense this thing finally wraps up? >> i think there is incredible frustration on both sides of the aisle. speaking just for senate democratic and republican colleagues, that we need to get the folks back at work. there is an understanding that we have to secur

schumer and miss pelosi. so the president said he owned it, debut, again, mark my words, tonight, hey was very soft. he begans in his first sentence he described this as a humanitarian and security issue. humanitarian first. he went on to talk about a cycle of human suffering. this was, believe it or not, the kinder, gentler, mr. trump. but there is justice jackson's metaphorical loaded weapon sitting there and if he chooses to pick it up andme use it, do n count on courts considering this something they want to intervene in. >> let's listen to what nancy pelosi said in response to the president in what she described as the humanitarian challenge. >> the fact is that women and children at the border are not a security threat. they are humanitarian challenge. a challenge that president trump's own cruel and counterproductive policies have only deepened and the fact is president trump must stop holding american people hostage, must stop manufacturing a crisis, must re-open the government. >> maria teresa, your

kirstjen nielsen essentially fact checked miss pelosi and said that the secret service is fully prepared secure this event. she is the perfect foil for donald trump. but was this the right play? she could have pulled a complete power play and disinvited him, effectively killing. >> she could have said it is a shutdown, why are we having a speech to congress. >> but she didn't. >> she went with the security angle. >> this is very pelosi. kind of like she is firm on something, but also like does things with a ladylike mannerism. and this is her not just going out and twisting the knife publicly, but trying to sort of soften it saying i suggest perhaps you write your state of the union or we delay it. but, yes, make no mistake about this, this is a power play on her part. she has not only denied the president his wall, she has privately questioned his manhood to a group of house democrats. she has sort of poked fun at this wall, what is it, a fence, what is it, a beaded curtain. and now she's taking away the thing that the president loves the most, which is a national audience speaking to t

>> ask miss pelosi. we've heard nothing from her. leadership team is talking about a wall will work. mr. clyburn is talking about putting money on the table. the question is not where is nancy? she won't have any negotiations. she just said no, we're not going to do it. >> neil: when she says a wall is immoral and steny and others say it's not immoral, it's might not be the key part of this, but even the democratic measure in the senate called for a little more than $5 billion for security funding along the border without outlining a structure per se. so just seems for want of a better team to be about semantics now, right? >> it's an issue that is political. this is what we have to talk about. this immoral argument is the most adrift in hypocrisy. some say it's fashionable along the left to call the border wall immoral. i don't see those folks saying, let's go take down the walls that exist. immoral is immoral. abortion is murder. there's no doubt about that. we'll call it what it is. if you call the border wall immoral, you want to

miss pelosi, this is our son, this is pierce corcoran. he is dead. his death is real.is death is real. it's not fabricated. he died at the hands of an illegal immigrant. we're upset about that. we feel that the government owes the american people better than what we're getting right now. and it really just upsets us when we hear you saying that, basically, that it doesn't matter. well it matters to us. >> laura: wendy, as a mother, i wish i could give you a big hug. i know it wouldn't do anything but i mean, it is -- your son was a wonderful young man. he did not deserve this. he was beloved, as is your whole family in the community. and yet politicians so blythely disregard your suffering, the loss of his life, as almost -- i know this sounds, it sounds glib of me to say, almost collateral damage in the quest of open borders, quest to try to humiliate trump or win in 2020. and for them not to go to funerals of people in their own jurisdictions, like in california, with officer singh? they're hanging out with rappers and going to nba games? what? your reaction to all o

miss pelosi spent the entire weekend in washington. according to a spokeswoman. noted. jeremy bash, robert costa. gentlemen, thank you, both. >>> and coming up, the president's fix to become the next attorney general fields questions from senators. just over ten hours from now. we'll preview william barr's confirmation hearing and what it could mean for the above subject matter, the russia investigation writ large. investigation writ large >>> i'm honored that the president has selected me for the position of attorney general. it's not a position that i pursued. i never thought i would be named attorney general or nominated to be attorney general. >> long time ago, we were all younger then. william barr speaking during his first confirmation hearing back in 1991. he's had the job before, and now has been nominated to be attorney general for a second time, and tomorrow, day one of his confirmation hearings before the senate judiciary committee. the "associated press" reports tonight that barr sent white house lawyers a copy of that memo arguing the president could not ha

he went from coming down -- >> melissa: miss pelosi said -- >> if you let me finish, i could tell you. pardon me? >> melissa: nancy pelosi said not one more dollar, and you are saying you guys are offering. >> she has already offered significantly more than that. you want to hang on to what rhetorical point that was made? the truth is, we have offered over a billion dollars just recently for additional border security measures that are based on what experts say. not on what the president says while chanting at a rally, but what real security experts say. that's what we want to do. the main point of all this, which is completely obfuscated and all of this -- we can have an honest debate about how we get this done. that's fine. but why do we have to have 800,000 people working without pay in order for the president to have additional leverage to get something that he is not willing to submit to the normal process of legislation? that's the only point. we can have all sorts of differences. >> melissa: can i just got you one question about that? i think the problem is that, in the past, w

by that i mean the political crisis in washington where miss pelosi and senator schumer simply want topresident trump. they want to deny him what he is asking for and they want the political benefit among their base for having done so. reporter: democrats have said they would put forth individual spending bills to help the treasury department as well as irs to get tax refunds n response this afternoon, the white house said, don't worry you will get your tax refund. we will find the funding, it won't be delayed. latest we have. congress out of session until tomorrow. so the shutdown continues. connell: tax refunds will be paid. kristina partsinevelos on capitol hill. melissa. melissa: here to react, guy benson, townhall.com fox news contributor, host of "benson & harf" on fox news radio. >> yes, ma'am. melissa: feels like the president doesn't have the upper hand, if you look attack ticks, republicans are saying we're talking over the weekend, democrats not moving a must -- a muscle. i'm not sure networks have agreed yet, that is what we're being told. he will go to the border on thursd

i wondered watching chuck schumer if he missed pelosi. it was the same message he delivered last night. it feels like last night. essentially the argument of the democrats is the president should open the government while they negotiate on the wall build. they are starting to make the argument that this is essentially a let them eat cake moment for the president with regard to the federal workers and the contractors. you're going to see a lot of them on capitol hill as you heard garrett haake say earlier in the show that the president is removed and doesn't care so much about the workers and contractors. >> i get that it's been sounding like ground hog's day, but we are on the brink of big time pain points for a lot of teem. if the shutdown does not end in two days, thousands of federal workers will miss their checks. it looks like we're headed to the longest shutdown. next friday federal district courts will run out of money. civil cases could be postponed or suspended and on the 25th they miss another paycheck. that's not ideal. that's

the democrats -- miss pelosi made it very clear as today. if it is the most clairvoyant stephen she made the whole time, the president asked "will you support -- if i open up a 30 30 government in 30 days, will you agree?" and she said no. she didn't even have the audacity to say "that's what we've been asking for, let's do that." she just pulled the shield them and said "no, we're not going to do it." >> harris: i talk about this last hour. i also asked kellyanne conway at the white house about this, too. is there any way to give democrats a fat yes and call their bluff, by stopping this word, "while?" i'm serious about this. that's what they say they have a sticking point on, but they'll agree that the the legislation has count for something. since democrats pass it into thousand six. so if you call it something different, call the bluff on it. >> they called it will fun it into thousand seven, and had money and therefore both don't like persecuted. the bluff has already been culprit let's call it what it is. it has nothing to do with the

contrived and phony crisis right now and by that i mean the political crisis here in washington, where miss pelosi and senator schumer simply want to beat president trump. they want to deny him what he's asking for and they want the political benefit among their base for having done so. reporter: the democrats have alluded to offering individual spending packages, right now, spending bills so they can reopen the irs as well as the treasury and like you mentioned, to provide tax refunds, but the white house has said they do not want a piece by piece reopening. they want the entire government to reopen and that means funding the border wall. however, the president has been a little more flexible, stating that it doesn't necessarily need to be concrete, it could be steel right now. he is heading to texas on thursday to literally get to the borderline and meet with officials. all of this going on, lots of news coming from capitol hill even though congress right now is out of session and they will be resuming tomorrow. so the shutdown continues. susan: day 17 accounting. thank you so much. now let's qu

stuart: i think miss pelosi, speaker pelosi, she has a real problem here because all the noise is comingft. they seem to be making the running within the democrat party. i'm not sure america is prepared to accept and elect someone who represents that extreme left position. what say you? >> there is no doubt about it and the insanity is, the newly-elected congresswoman from brooklyn, cortez, what does she bemoan as soon as she was elected? she doesn't have enough money to live in washington on 174,000 salary. by the way her tax rate is 28%. she wants a 70%, you can't make it on 28% tax rate at 174. you think you can do any better if the tax rates rise? by the way they rise for you as well? this theory of economics that democrats have, if you just send more money, rich people to the government, everything is going to be fine. trump reversed that he is putting more money in our pockets and we're doing just fine. stuart: would you agree with the following, brad, the far left has its supporters, and they will never leave the far left? mr. trump has his supporters, he has got his base and they

>> well obviously i'd prefer that congress step forward, specifically miss pelosi would step forward and offer a compromise. absent a compromise i do think there's another way to go about it. one thing i've previously proposed is using the asset for feature funds money taken from drug cartels, drug runners and others which is not subject to congressional appropriation, but which the executive branch can use for law enforcement border security. there's about four to $5 billion that comes in every year to these two different funds. the president could use that to build the wall and that would circuit vent an inevitable lawsuit should he declare an emergency. neil: where does that money normally go? >> it could be used by law enforcement now and they use it for law enforcement. so you would redirect some of the dollars, but last, we looked and one of the two funds there's about 1.2 billion of unobligated dollars. one piece of legislation i put forward would allow that money to be bonded forward, so we know we get three to 5 billion a year in it, allow it to be bonded, so that that way,

tammy, thanks for joining us, i think miss pelosi is going to be under a great deal of pressure bearingnd this breaking news. i am going to repeat it. there are reports that the faa has halted flights into new york's laguardia airport because of a air traffic controller staff shortage. the faa says it is just a delay? susan: a delay according to the faa at this point. departure traffic destined for laguardia experiencing delays 41 minutes. not that they're canceling flights according to the faa. departure delays, traffic, experiencing gait holds, taxi delays last 15 minutes or less. arrival al delays, experiencing airborne delays of 15 minutes or less. not a halt. stuart: not good. susan: this is 20th busiest airport in america. they handle 29 million passengers. ashley: this will increase, no doubt. stuart: got it. more on the crisis in venezuela. seems like the entire world is taking sides. russia warning america don't intervene. if any harm comes to our diplomats the white house says we will defend them. >>> day 35 of the shutdown. a new caravan is heading north through mexico. i wil

the move is called an apparent retaliation for misses pelosi attempting to postpone the state of theress. here is one other story on the government shutdown. or government employees are being put back to work during the shutdown. the state department has enough cash for one pay period. they joined the fda inspectors and 2500 agriculture department workers and irs workers heading back to work, even though they have not provided funding. those are some of the stories about the shutdown in the newspaper. we want to hear from you. beach, andnorth palm independent. her husband is a government worker. caller: i just wanted to say we've had to make various provisions to sustain ourselves. i'm not saying this is been easy at all. i consider the policy of this president a policy of compassion. i know it sounds crazy. jumped on the plane because it would be better for my family to take a trip to hawaii. fallout ofee the what happens with a great influx of people who are here illegally. they are at the mercy of their exploitative employers, schoolds, even in the system people are making money o

my question for miss pelosi was this, can you look at the government workers affected by the shutdownay, i'm putting those that want to break into our country ahead of your right to earn and make a paycheck. >> sandra: who do you think has the upper hand? >> i think both parties. we have also seen in polls that now when people are understanding what a wall or border security actually means, they understand when you have roads where people are being killed and drugs coming in and gangs coming in, the support for border security and a wall are growing. people need to be educated to what we are talking about. >> sandra: the latest on steve king. the house passed a resolution stating that the chamber rejects white nationalism and white supremacy as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values that describe the people of the united states. congressman king voted in support of that measure. here he is. >> i have carefully studied every word in this resolution. even though i would add some more that are stronger language, i agree with the language in it. i want to

have miss pelosi -- does not want a border. we need a border. we need protection. need sanctuary cities. i just heard senator is going to be running. we do not need senator harris for theshe is not people of california. we have a high crime rate. we have other social problems. our schools are spending $600 million a year for illegal alien children to educate them. our social services. i want to thank you for your time. have a nice day. dr. king said we are one race, the human race. we need to remember that. host: this is tina, independent line, pittsburgh. you're on. go ahead. caller: i thought i was on the tv. host: you're on television now. caller: basically, i am calling about the shutdown, regarding the shutdown. i do not understand -- i do agree with what is happening with the democrats about the fact that they should not give him the border wall. i agree with some callers who called in about trump being like a dictator. he says he wants to make the americans safe, but how can he -- he is not even making americans safe here in the united states right now. they

. >> in a political crisis here in washington, where miss pelosi and senator schumer simply want to beat president trump. they want to deny him what he is asking for and they want the political benefit among their base for having done so. if this were really about looking to find a solution, it's really there staring us in the face. >> lastly some analysts are calling for a several minute delay in the president's address so that his facts can be checked. fact-checking is something the networks do and have done routinely for any presidential address delayed or not. sandra, back to you. >> sandra: doug mckelway in washington. thank you. >> kind of our job, isn't it hugo, washington examiner. how are you doing. >> very well. >> bill: nice to see you. i don't think the setting can be overstated. oval office, first time as president. how does he make his case? >> yeah, bill. that's exactly right. is he using his first oval office address to ramp up his public diplomacy, his public messaging on this. a lot of his supporters would say that's not the first time. he was credit sides for not takin

at times like this when senators -- senator leadership like senator schumer and miss pelosi refuse to negotiate with the president, i wonder -- and the senate is actually blocked by senate democrats from proceeding to consider important foreign affairs legislation, i wonder if we could still look ourselves in the mirror and call ourselves the world's greatest deliberative body. but historically we've been able to reach a consensus on very tough issues, far more controversial than this because we all believe that american interests should come first and our constituents should come first and we are here to serve their interests, not merely to play political games and score political points. so it's time for our democratic friends to come back to the negotiating table so we can finally end this unnecessary and harmful shutdown and hopefully in the process, the 800,000 federal workers that missed their first paycheck last friday can get paid during this next pay period. and we can reopen the federal government so we can serve the interests of the american people as we should have done 24

pelosi first did this in 2007. some of those kids were not around then. no one wants to miss out on this. came to washington as a very young woman, as well. back in 1961, i think we have a picture here. she met john f. kennedy. now she is surrounded by her grandchildren as she is about to take the oath of speaker. >> stand up tall. >> 63rd speaker of the house when she takes the oath. she was also the 60th speaker of the house. the last time that happened was more than 60 years ago when sam rayburn came back to be house speaker for the second time. >> everybody be quiet. if the gentle woman from california would please raise your right hand, what you are doing, do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies foreign and domestic, that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that you take this obligation freely without mental reservation and that you will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of which you are about to enter so help you god. >> i do. >> congratulations. >> nancy pelosi now the 63rd speaker

missed you. >> great to be back. so speaker pelosi is putting a bill on the floor that's virtually identical to the bill that you were whipping in december to open the government up on a temporary basis, and the bill that the senate republicans passed by unanimous consent. so what's wrong with taking that approach now? >> she has border security in it? >> she has exactly what you had in it. >> no, we never brought a bill to the floor that didn't have border security in it. >> yeah, but you were talking about a clean c.r., were you not? >> we didn't whip one that -- no, the senate passed one like that, but not the house. the house passed their version over the senate that had $5.6 billion in it for border security. the senate did not pass that. so now we've got to find a compromise. the problem with what speaker pelosi is doing is she is prolonging this shutdown. what needs to happen, the president is correct, in 45 minutes we can get this done. i have been in every single meeting. never once have i heard the democrats make any offer o

pelosi and the p behavior.. this is day #29 of the shutdown and thousands of workers are missing their second paycheck nancy pelosihe president, she is accusing him of irresponsible behavior and he publicly postponed her trip to afghanistan. a new memo says no government aircraft can be used for delegations without written permission from the white house chief of staff. the president and pelosi are at odds over funding for the border wall. >>> we have had a number of discussions discussing what we are looking for. we have not back down from that and we have not changed our position on it. employees-- marched and rallied in front >> democrats want to negotiate when the government reopens. >> many want to go back to work but some say this is more than just a job.. ozens of nasa workers protesting the shutdown. help with some say this is more than just a job. >> a lot of these people would consider his family and so, not being able to be around them and not being able to do the work that we want to do for the american people is very stressful. bank gave out bags of groceries.. full of eggs, milk and chicken.. to more

it's a tremendous opportunity he will presumably miss out on because pelosi took that step. >> what dof the relationship, barbara, between nancy pelosi and donald trump, the way they relate to each other? >> i think that pelosi knows what she's dealing with and she's reacting exactly the way she should be. trump, on the other hand, i think is shell-shocked. i think he didn't expect -- he underestimated her to begin with, and i think he wanted her to be the speaker because she's a woman, and i think he thought viscerally that he could just control because of that. and i think he's very surprised at what he's seeing and doesn't know what to make of it. >> all right, barbara, thank you for the perspective. barbara russ, former executive vp for the trump organization. we should also mention you are author of "all alone on the 16th floor: how one woman changed the face of construction." thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >>> now washington is rolling out the welcome mat for north korea's chief nuclear negotiator. he comes bearing a letter from kim jong-un for the president, and we'l

and if the federal government is not reopened by then, 800,000 federal workers will miss another paycheck. speaker pelosiweeting what we didn't hear from the president was any sim past any for the federal workers who face so much uncertainty because of the days on of the trump shutdown. so i want your reaction to what was laid out there yesterday. the president as he often does, a major address that was going to take place. and we spent most of yesterday wondering what he was going to say. there was talk of would there be a national emergency declared, what would he be on the table. your reaction to what was in there. >> besides him just eating adjectives. so i mean here is the problem. when the president talks about this wall and needing this wall, right, to say nothing of the mexico was supposed to pay for it, say nothing of the fact that he had two years of un fid government where if it was such a grade deal, it should have been passed then, now he's saying i'll make these concessions, but if you're saying the situation is so horrible, why all of a sudden are you saying that we can work with daca and

coast guard members got a helping hand one day after missing their first paycheck. >>> nancy pelosi is asking trump to delay his state of the union address. at bayer our roots run deep. so chances are you've seen us around the house... or around the yard... on the shelf... or even out in the field. your mom knew she could always count on us, and your grandma did too. because for over 150 years we've been right by your side. advancing the health of the people, plants and pets you love. so from all of us at bayer, thank you for trusting in us. then and now. >> reporter: we were just enjoying a bit of a low on the storm and the rain is just now starting in the last two minutes. you can see the crowds here. you don't even see any umbrellas. we are not seeing a whole lot of rain in san francisco. the rain has been heavy at times. some of that rain faced, forced the closure of the civic center station. >> reporter: the flooding at the civic center bart station started before to:30. it was suspended for about one hour as they work to figure out without water was coming from and work to stem t

"it would be better if you were in washington with me negotiating the showdown." >> i think the actions of the president were petty. >> reporter: the move comes less than a month after president trump made his own overseas visit to u.s. troops. >> whatever it takes. we're going to have a wall. we're going to have safety. >> reporter: neither side has shown readines

missed another pay trek today. president trump and house speaker nancy pelosi are at odds, nixed plans to visit u.s. troops in afghanistan, the president made a dangerous move by outing her planned trip. >> we have prerogative to travel commercially, we made plans to do that. and that endanger. >> the white house says president trump canceled treasure secretary steve mnuchin's trip next week. >>> getting a helping hand from local food banks, january i tars have already gone a month without a paycheck. with the help of second harvest food bank 40 families were able to help themselves ting abouts of groceries. >>> we are going to keep providing these distributions throughout the furlough, we also want to let people know they can call our food connection hotline and get connected to any of our services, we distribute groceries to anybody who needs our help. >> food banks are preparing to provide aid to coast guard workers and families. >>> taking a look at the big board as we end this work week. the dow has been up all day right now about 281 points. tech and industrial companies made some big gains ea

the response from pelosi has been missing the entire time, which is no. >> shannon: okay, we'll see.ucer tonight was talking about the fact that there is going to be -- there were reports there would be a rollout from speaker pelosi tomorrow. anna birdsall said the same thing on the dana perino show, saying that she's putting something together. do you think of there is going to be anything? no one will get everything they want. >> that is right. i joke around, i've gotten -- to see that the elected officials cannot do their job, what i am disheartened about, though, you've got nancy pelosi to that says, "no wall." she lay down gauntlet. i don't know how anyone at this point can say that no wall, especially we go back, 2006, the secure fence act, bipartisan bill was passed to build over 700,000 miles of all. >> shannon: jessica, what about this? a number of people on the hill who are voting know who voted yes back then. >> yeah, a lot of people who were members of the gang of six and the gang of eight. we heard from senator bennet passionately this afternoon on the floor and he was a

speaker pelosi: that is what we have been saying. perhaps you missed it, perhaps we were not clear enough, i think was want to believe that. let me go into it again. 90% of the drugs and many of the asylum-seekers coming into the united states come through ports of entry. and by the way, in the last congress before we adjourned, we gave the administration exactly what the department asked for. asked for. and passed in the senate. so when you say why are you not negotiating, we are negotiating, and we do go to names. but let's be clear. you will be seeing many things unfolding in the next few days about what the next build will be on the floor appeared in case i wasn't clear, 90% of the drugs coming into the country come through the ports of entry. let's use resources to expand the ports of entry. there has to be evidence-based, not notion mongers. and those ports of entry need more personnel. nearly 3000 employee vacancies, positions not filled on the border. and some of it is quality of life. they need more infrastructure to do their jobs in terms of
