nancy reagan would call the chief of staff and give him a head's up on whether ronnie had slept wellwas there and working and i think for donald trump the next three weeks are absolutely a water shed moment. it is make or break. i think time is running out for this white house and i think he has got to figure out, again, there is a difference between campaigning and governing. if he forces another shutdown or if he declares a bogus national emergency based on national security, that will be effectively the end of the trump presidency on the other hand, if he tries to govern and get a deal with the democrats and if he comes off the notion of the crackpot notion of a wall from sea to sea, which he seems to have done, and he offers a border security deal and gives the democrats a serious deal on daca, then i think he has the potential of coming out of this. but i can't say that i have a lot of home. >> interesting to see if his base is down with that by the way, the president, we should point out, has not held a rally in 62 days and hasn't golfed in 61 days. and i point that out to say,

. >> and nancy pelosi quoting ronald reagan, gloria, i'm going to start with you this time. at did you make of all of that? >> well, i think nancy pelosi was gracious and went out of her way to commend her republican colleagues, to talk about bipartisan legislation that they could enact across the aisle, to quote ronald reagan in the house of representatives to republicans and to democrats and i think she started this off with the right tone. i mean, we can't forget we're in the middle of a government shutdown where republicans and democrats can't agree on anything about how to reopen the government, but nancy pelosi decided to start this out with a graceful note before it all dissolves. but i think that was important for her to do. and don't forget, most of these republicans ran against her, used her in their campaign ads, made her public enemy number one and at this point though, now, she is their speaker. she is the speaker of the house and she decided to be gracious about it, which i think was completely appropriate. >> dana, what did you think quickly? >> i agree. and ke

nancy pelosi quoted ronald reagan. what to do with immigration levels and border enforcement.g border security, the memory is fresh how many times people made agreements and had the rug pulled out from underneath them. people are not keen to compromise on this or to trade something big for something later that never comes. democrats should make their case and show they are for border security. >> we teased we would talk about the markets. apple today lost 75-billion dollars in market cap. the equivalent of lockheed martin because of bad iphone sales tied to china. >> i think is the new normal. i think we will get in the new few weeks and couple of months, we will get a deal with china, but it won't be the kind of deal people expect. china's foreign policy is to steal america's intelligent property. president trump as any president should has to stand up against that. the only way it will change, there will be a slow reduction in tensions. is by altering its behavior. the one advantage for the united states is the chinese economy is in trouble and they need to cut some kind of

larry kudlow was in chicago a couple weeks ago one thing he stressed is that he likened it to nancy reaganto drugs. just say yes to something. when you put it in that prpt i, it seems it's a relatively low bar to go in the right direction. again, i want to stress this we need something the market is going to believe is a resolution whether or not it's really a long-term resolution is ancillary to the point i think that if we need that and we need to -- i don't think we need to get through the government shutdown thing. but then we need to settle the stock market above the 2800 as like a exclamation point to the story being fundamentally better than it was. then i think we head to that >> jim, thank you for joining us today. also phil orlando, good to see you. >>> when we come back, les mo moonves fighting for his golden parachute. we'll talk about whether he'll win arbitration for a severance package worth $120 million we're back with that in just a moment people know aflac... aflac! ...but not what they do. so we're answering their questions. aflac is auto insurance, right? no. uh uh. is

you had nancy pelosi quotie ini ronald reagan, talking about george h.w. bush. e's a shutdown and doesn't look like it will end any time soon. nancy pelosi will probably come out and say why it isn't going to end. you saw the president today come into the press room with i.c.e. people saying we support or former former i. former i.c.e. people saying we support the president. you don't know what world you're living in. >> we have to wait and see what happens with the mueller report. we shouldn't be impeaching for a political reason. we shouldn't avoid itmpeachment for a political reason. >> do you believe the special counsel should honor and observe the dguidance that a sitting president cannot be indict snd. >> i do not think that's conclusive. >> could robert mueller come back and say i'm seeking indictment? >> i think that's an open discussion in terms of the law. >> what do you think of her position? >> she's right. it's an open discussion. you're talk about an advisory opinion that's issued about whether a sitting president can be indicted. this is not as set

the others and i would ask these people who think that walls don't work, like reagan said, "tear down that wall." tell nancy pelosi to tear down that wall and see if she's willing to do that as a compromise. thank you. >> drema, absolutely perfect segue. you know, the president has actually listened to the democrats and he put together in this plan a $5.7 billion. not only does it include additional 234 additional miles of the barrier, whether it be steel or concrete, whatever you want to talk about it, so once again, it's not a wall from sea to shining sea, but also the ten top protocols and security measures that the border patrol and experts have actually brought forward. for example, looking at new equipment, additional equipment to look at freight coming in and out. to make sure that itthere's no weap weapons, drugs, paraphernalia along those lines coming into our country. also, additional money for -- we're seeing family units. we have no beds. there are no beds. and so he's actually articulated that. more i.c.e. agents. more border patrol. and so from all the standpoint, more medical supplies, these

i mean, this is not going to be a ronald reagan/o'neil relationship. nancyrked with republican presidents before. she was speaker under george bush. they had to cut uncomfortable deals. she knows how to do it. the president is adjusting to having very strong opposition on capitol hill which is something he has not had to face yet as president and i think they're trying to figure out how to do this. you talked to the point of the conservative base, and let's not forget the democratic base. if you look at that, what the president offered yesterday, it was being received by immigration activists, and the dreamers. they are saying under no no circumstances should you accept this deal. why does nancy pelosi or any other democrat on capitol hill coming off of this election where they went big, look at what this president put on the table and say, anything but no way? >> i think -- i get the moral equation of this, but any time someone uses the moral language, it backs everyone into a corner. i think the real question is what's the efficiency of this? when you brea

reagan. host: nancy pelosi laying out what she says is a bipartisan agenda.o you all agree or disagree that should be the focus for democrats in the house? romney from texas, democrat. good morning to you. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. that last caller ride off the tryinglking about them to slip abortion into a bill to send money overseas. that caller like a lot of trump zombies live in an alternate universe. i am sure he heard that on fox news. there was a caller a few callers ago talking about grandstanding. i will tell you what grandstanding is, that was the president walking into the briefing room yesterday with his band of ice and border cohorts talking about what he did. this man is a pathological liar. he cannot stand the fact nancy pelosi was getting a moment yesterday focused on her and not him. he had to change the narrative. he has no intention of negotiating. he is irrelevant if he is not causing chaos and it is just pathetic. he has no intention of trying to negotiate. host: how do you think democrats respond? caller: i thin

president reagan and house speaker nancy pelosi has -- have a grade to a new date, look for live coverage here on c-span. >> new york has five new members and its congressional delegation, all of them are democrats. alexandria across your cortez joins the congress at 29. in aefeated joe crowley primary election last summer. voters in new york's 22nd district elected anthony brindisi to congress, he served seven years in the new york state assembly. before that, he was an attorney in private practice. representative antonio delgado was a representative but he had a brief career as a rapper, releasing an album after his graduation from harvard. he previously served in the u.s. a platoonding leading in afghanistan where he was wanted by an ied, earning up purple heart and bronze star. heresentative joseph morelle joined the house a few weeks ahead after winning the seat in the 100 16th congress and an election to fill the seat of louise slaughter for the remaining weeks of the 115th congress. congressman marelli had served in the new york state assembly since 1991 including five years as maj

what presidentses have done which is figure out how to make a deal with nancy pelosi where they both get something. ronald reaganrity because he wanted to reform it. he was getting beat so badly, he went to tip o'neill. he struck a deal they both got to claim victory and we got social security reform bill clinton had a terrible first two years and after oklahoma city is, he became president and won re-election. i don't know if donald trump is capable of doing that but he needs a reset moment it col happen right now if he figures out how to work with the wong gres to get things done otherwise he's setting the republican party up for catastrophic losses in the 2020 election campaign up and down the ticket. >> he's got to be the one. zer lynnna, just asking this because some believe president trump, shouldn't he get any credit for caving here when the democrats were the ones -- you're saying this is nance pelosi flexing on the democrats. any ounce of credit here for the president? >> no, no, he doesn't get any credit for doing the right thing 35 days after he should have done the right thing what we saw yesterday i

more than the sad president trying to take back the spotlight from nancy pelosi and the new congress. come on. contrast president reagan's wise words with this president's empty threats, random tweets and memes. but, you know what? it's going to take a lot more than memes and stunts are not going to cut it. this president has the bully pulpit. nancy pelosi has the gavel. america is waiting to see who gets the last word. >>> manu raju is live for us on capitol hill. good evening to you. the president has vowed to veto the democratic-led house spending bill. what happens next? >> reporter: yeah, two bills passed the house that would reopen roughly a quarter of the government that has been shuttered right before christmas amid the standoff over billions of dollars the president is demanding to fund the wall along the southern border with mexico. the first bill passed by 239 to 192 vote, five republicans joining all democrats who were present and pushing it through. that bill would keep the -- reopen the department of homeland security until february 8th, and that bill would pubt also on the issue of the border wall money. t

nancy pelosi put out an olive branch today. she mentioned ronald reagan. she mentioned george bush. she mentioned with great pride the dean, mr. young, from alaska. i think you want to put yourself on the first foot and she's making an attempt. this is the checks and balances that the people elected the democrats to run the house in two months ago. >> so matt, if she's going to go ahead and say that they want to move forward with bipartisanship, she knows that there's one sticking issue that clearly is not one that she or chuck schumer has seen eye to eye with when it comes to the wall and the president. how much of this is going to be a sticking issue and if this wall does not get passed, does the government remain closed? who then takes the blame for the partial government shut down? >> a couple things. i think those words from ronald reagan and george h.w. bush is nice, but she didn't actually say one condition crete area where it's actually reasonable or realistic for republicans and democrats to get together. we talk about the wall. of course, they bear quite a bit of responsib

jedediah: president reagan a little history lesson for nancy gave in on amnesty because he thought henever happen again. jedediah: one-time deal and had that tweet from michael reagan a few weeks back his son president trump, my father gave in on amnesty with the hope of border security and we are still waiting for it if anything, the lesson would be opposite that when you came to democrats and you say, you know what? i will give you an inch and take a while and never get that border security. steve: big question is at this meeting the president has convened at 11:30 this morning, with nancy and chuck, provided they do come and show up, will they be able to get off the mark? right now, at the conclusion of the day on congress yesterday they passed two funding bills. one funds most of the stuff closed through the balance of the fiscal year through september. the other a narrow part of the government that funds department of homeland security. the republicans have a problem with that because there is not any money for the wall. the big question is now that nancy pelosi has been elected

nancy pelosi. this goes back to 1986 and the original deal that was struck with the reagan administration, which mostple don't even remember. that w the amnesty question. you know, i think what we've seen is that while dona trump had painted himself into a corner, the reality is we may not like it. rewe may not awith him, but me has moved. and it is a mistake on the part of the speaker to come out of the box and not accept th idea that we like the idea of a three-year extension. sure, we want to do better. we cld accept a 700-mile or so border, a fence. the rats, every sitting democrat in the senate, voted for just a su thing a mere five years ago. the problem that you have is when you start suggesting that anyone who wants a wall -- or no, not anyone. i don't want to be unfairo you. many who want this are racist, it causes a real hardeningn the other side. there are plenty of people, including 35-plus democtic senators, who wanted a wall, signed up to a wall, and who i don't think are racist >> bottom line, if you take the emotion out of this debate, it's solved tomorrow. >> exactly right. i think j

week would be the house going back to the democrats, nancy pelosi regaining the speakership after eight years in the minority in the first speaker to reaganavel since sam rayburn in the 1950s. here she was on thursday. >> i pledge that this congress will be transparent, bipartisan and unifying, that we will seek to reach across the aisle in this chamber and across divisions across our nation. >> chris: marie, whatever you think of her policies, nancy pelosi is clearly a heck of a politician. how effective do you think she will be dealing with president trump on this and other issues? >> absolutely and i think i was one of those democrats that underestimated her ability to win back the speakership with the kind of numbers she got. the fact that alexandria ocasio-cortez voted for her in the end is just a symbol of the fact that she was able to win back that speakership in a way that showed her strength and her legislative ability. the two things the democratic house was done legislatively, they've introduced a bill on voting rights to get corruption out of washington and they passed bills to reopen the government. they put down they are not

reagan's neck, it sags down to here. and everybody raves about how great he looks. can you imagine if nancy had that neck? her in a nursing home for turkeys. >> they had given me this 23 minutes to address whatever topic i want, and it is such a privilege, more than the president of the united states gets, and it's kind of thrilling to have that every week. i would be lying if i didn't say i put my opinions in the show. >> excuse me, but you lovely ladies look like you are in need of a little male companionship here. >> trust me when i tell you you have completely misassessed the situation at this table. >> i am a woman and i am a writer, but i don't really enjoy being called a woman's writer. i think labels are harmful to us. >> with "murphy brown," just about everything about that program felt new. the civil rights movement and the women's movement had just begun to sort of be reflected in the programming you saw in television in the '80s. >> murphy, you know the dunfree's club is for men only. >> and they have great dinners with great guests, and i don't get to go for one reason and one reason only, an

staff, family member's and gas's, the decision -- and guests -- nancy pelosi's decision seems to be unprecedented. it was under ronald reagan'sresidency the state of the union was last postponed january 8, 1986. reagan was preparing his speech when the challenger exploded. his formal address was proponent -- postponed and reagan appeared in the oval office. statetruman postponed his of the union for four days, ultimately delivering it in writing instead. david in pennsylvania. an independent. good morning. caller: my question is for the listeners. who believes the pleasant is -- president is really only trying to fulfill the promise of a wall? building the wall was half the promise and the other promise was mexico was going to pay for the wall. in his first announcement in 15th, 2016. he said "i will build a great, great wall on our southern border. i will have mexico pay for the wall." if he told the truth that mexico really wasn't going to start paying for the wall, where would we be? do you think the people who voted for him and got him through the electoral college success, if they told him -- them 6 months ahead of time,

i would ask these people who think walls do not work, like reagan said, tear down that wall. tell nancyosi to two down that wall and see if she is willing to do that as a compromise. guest: perfect segue. the president has listened to democrats. he put together in this plan, $5.7 billion -- not only does it include 234 additional miles of barrier, once again, it is not a wall from sea to shining sea but also the protocols and security measures border patrol and experts have brought forward, for example looking at new equipment to look at freight coming in and out to make sure there are no weapons, drugs, paraphernalia coming into our country. additional money for beds, also. we are seeing this migrant chase different. they are young kids, unaccompanied minors and family units. there are no beds. he has articulated that. more ice agents, more border patrol. from this stand. more medical supplies. this is a comprehensive pack of applications. you put up a wall and people will find a way to get over it. it slows them down. it deters a number of people who will not challenge it as well. tha

nancy pelosi to the table, it remains to be seen, neil. neil: talking about the bo weevil day, 30, 40 odd moderate democrats who would be key in passing ronald reagan legislation. are there moderate groups there? are they hiding? where are they in both parties? >> blue dogs, moderate democrats is lot bigger than the ranks couple years ago. they really dwindled. there is a lot of conversation about the liberals who have been elected, alexandria ocasio-cortez, rashida tlaib, so forth, the reason the democrats have control of house, a lot of moderate democrats won in battleground districts. you saw it in virginia, saw it in new hampshire, saw it in maine, you saw it up and down the board. that is one. reasons the democrats have control of the house. look at the group that went down to the talk to president last thursday. you had a group of problem solvers caucus of moderate republicans and democrats so they might be willing to talk. the other buzz up on capitol hill that has taken fire in the past couple hours, whether or not a week from today the president will journey to capitol hill to deliver the state of the union address. we understand there was

nancy pelosi became the first speaker to reclaim the gavel since the 50s with seeming not to bipartisanship. >> if we ever close the door to americans our leadership role in the world will be lost, ronald reagan. >> reporter: she made it clear what those words meant policies otherwise. >> are you willing to give him some of this money for the wall? apparently that's the sticking point. >> know. nothing for the wall. >> reporter: nancy pelosi's democratic caucus voted on measures to reopen the government, the vice president matched the speaker's defiance. >> what i accept the deal for the wall? >> the president made it very clear. it is not a deal. >> the power to enforce that threat comes with presidential veto. it is unclear if republicans in the senate will force the president to use the veto which provides protection from the bills the house just past. >> minute by minute updates. the first day of the new congress and democratic members are not listening to leadership. brad sherman reintroducing articles of impeachment against donald trump. he says i continue to believe obstruction of justice is the clearest, simplest and most provable high crime and misdemeanor committed by donald trump.

nancy pelosi who will need to work with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell if she wants to swiftly reopen this government. i want to bring in ed rollins, former campaign manager for president reagan'srepublican senator from new york. thank you both. >> thank you. charles: senator, let me start with you. it's an amazing game of chicken going on, and we're watching it in full display here. both sides have buckled in, although president trump, to his credit, did no go on vacation. -- did not go on vacation. it feels like he has been reaching out to his colleagues. >> thank god he stayed in washington. that's the one good thing he's done. i think, number two, he's right about border security. but i think he's missed an essential ingredient, and the republican party has, the republican leadership. the biggest problem you have, and i'm for the wall, is catch and release. this is the most absurd program. and most americans or many of them don't really realize what it is. when someone comes over illegally, they're here. because what happens? they're brought to a detention center, and they are basically released. many, many, many -- charles: president trump has talked about this on several

nancy pelosi was in ohio and then she wanted to go on this trip and then nbc report gary haight saw her leaving the reaganrt there going somewhere. looks like speaker pelosi won't be staying in d.c. for the weekend. she and her detail just passed me at reagan national airport. we have reached out to her office to see where she is heading. if we find out we will let you know. pete: we don't know where in the world is nancy right now. ed: is she negotiating with the president by phone? what is she doing? jedediah: i want to know is the shutdown serious or not? i don't know how anyone could be talking about travel. either it's a serious matter and you need to sit tight and work together and get something done or it's not a serious matter and stop running out with that talking point oh my god end of the world armageddon if you want to take trips right now. not the time for trips. a lot of americans not getting paychecks. a lot of people need lawmakers to sit and do the job. pete: americans say keep it shutdown. jedediah: where are they. pete: lots of them. those people feel like this is seminole moment for th

reagan did so effectively. he didn't get tip o'neill. i don't care if trump never again meet with nancy pelosi.ho was furthermore deeply worried about the left wing of her party, which is now well to the left of bernie sanders. there's nothing he wants that she could give him even if she wanted to and she doesn't want to. on the other hand, 46 democrat freshman the other day who wrote a letter to speaker pelosi saying we came here to legislate. we didn't come here to shut the government and to investigate. those 46 very first target for trump to reach out and say which you work with kevin mccarthy almost have a practical commonsense bipartisan coalition in diplomacy and schumer want to look like fools, let them look like fools. the idea that they won't even go down and talk tells the country a lot about who's responsible for the government prices in those folks earning schumer and pelosi, not shrub. stuart: newt gingrich come you make a lot of sense. we appreciate that. thanks to being on the show. author of the the great books up to. we have a statement from the white house on today's lunch me

reagan were at their worse and even nixon didn't happen. when bill clinton was impeached this didn't happen. what a terrible precedent. jetstream on nancyp will go to the capitol and give a state of the union. there is no set date or reason it has to be next tuesday. many people think it's inappropriate while the government is shut down and people can't pay rent to have a big ceremony where everyone who is there is celebrating things while a lot of the country is hurting. >> the president did the right saying will say i'll go after the shutdown. maybe the fact the state of the union is postponed will encourage everyone to come together and end the shutdown. >> bill: a poison pill for her to swallow to sit behind him. >> i don't think so. i think the opposite, bill. i think the opposite. nancy pelosi will sit behind him in a position of extreme power right now. i have underestimated her as a democrat. >> bill: she would have been throwing daggers. >> which would have been great. >> bill: the state of our union is divided. >> look, we're more divided as a country than we have been since the 1960s. some would say since the 1860s, culturall

nancy pelosi we all lose especially with the president. if it proves the government is better when smaller focusing only on essential functions that serve americans, then president trump will achieve something great that reagan are 350,000 government employees who are furloughed. there are 420,000 who have to report to work. currently the federal government is working, you know, in the estimation of this writer, is working pretty well with 350,000 people not working. is this a preview of coming attractions? this personal, whoever it is says that could probably be a better idea. he said 15% of he or she says -- 15% of government employees are exceptional patriots but 08% feel no pressure to produce results. brian: i think 70% of the american public, $1,000 in their savings and most live paycheck to paycheck. many of them are some of the 800,000 that are either furloughed or told to -- just told to come to work and not get paid. steve: sure. brian: definitely tough. steve: absolutely. our heart breaks for those people. that is a good reason why congress should say we have got to negotiate and nancy pelosi should be willing to negotiate rather than just say no. ainsley: maybe we will see something this week. we

he may have been a reagan again, thomas jefferson's famous saying was the tree of freedom is often blessed with the blood of a patriot. thank you. >> ok. all right dear nancyn nebraska, democrat. thank you for taking my call. i would like to see movement and discussion from new and old about health care infrastructures. we hear a lot about roads and bridges, but we are not talking about health care workers, service workers, and buildings. i live in a rural area and we are losing our nursing homes. our clinics and hospitals and no one is talking about that. i hear conversations about people who worked very hard taking care of vulnerable populations making barely minimum wage and with no retirement. talking intrators the cubicles with the accountants, no one is asking the workers what is going on. >> in texas, independent. good morning. >> hi, hi. good morning. >> go ahead. we are listening. >> hi. i just wanted to call in. i'm a big c-span watcher and in this is my first time ever calling in. congrats to all of the people being sworn in today. i certainly hope they will do their jobs. my biggest hope as they get the immigration thing under control. presiden
