nixon pitches a plan where stennis would have access, and would provide transcripts to archibald cox and his lawyers. for one, john stennis is one person, he's a pro-nixon democrat, in his 70s and granted people in their 70s can have good hearing but he did not. he was actually mugged outside of his home earlier that year and was still recovering from that pretty vicious attacking. not the ideal person to be the one individual who has access to the tapes. and so archibald cox does not accept this compromise. however, this shows how much of a moderate cox and richardson were that fall. especially richard suspect, they did not want to give up on negotiate negotiations and were willing to continue to talk to the nixon white house and come up with a compromise. once talks were rejected, that's is when nixon demands the firing of archibald cox. elliott richardson, remember he had repeatedly been a loyal soldier for the more than four years he'd been in the administration. he write note after note weighing the pros and cons of resigning or staying on board, and he's really a great pains to

then chuck schumer brings what you we were discussing, then stenny hoyer brings up the four bills thathrough the house, and debating in the house, sending to the senate, we'll see what happens. the president has said, listen to, this right as they were coming out, i mean nancy pelosi had not just yielded to the gentleman from new york yet, when we got a tweet from the white house, the tweet is in, they beat the tweet by 30 seconds, just left a meeting with chuck and nancy, a total waste of time. i asked what's going to happen in 30 days if i quickly open things up. are you going to approve border security which include as wall or steel barrier? nancy said no. i said bye-bye. nothing else works. so the president was in the meeting and the president now agrees that apparently, with what the leaders just said there, with what nancy pelosi, the house speaker and chuck shooem schumer said, we were in a meeting there and president said you going to fund my wall and nancy said no. because the democrats have always said no to the wall. when the president said we're going to build a wall and me

. >>> house majority leader stenny loyer is fuming, saying, it's what i expect from people who think they are authoritarian leaders of our government, and it starts with the president of the united states. alex azar, the ahs secretary is refusing to testify about the impact of separating families at the bofrder. why are they treating these requests from congress as just suggestions? >> it's wild. it's another way in which the trump administration is defying the basic norms of how the government works. if there's one thing congress needs to do, it's oversight. a lot of democrats in the house believe they won back the house because the public wanted more of a check on the trump administration. and so, you know, now we're going to have this dance where requests come in, officials in the executive branch deny them and we'll see if they can step up the pressure to force them to testify. we have seen this in previous administrations. remember eric holder was held in contempt to congress for not going before them. but at the end of the day, it's not like they'll go to prison or something, t

stenny hoyer saying you don't think the president has that authority, i think it's analogous to the government all over the world applying martial law to justify doing whatever they at one time whomever they want whenever they want to do it. i don't think that's the american way. i don't think that's the constitutional way. and a texas house democrat warned the president would have a fight on his hands. >> we would challenge it in every single way that we could. in congress, in the courts, and otherwise. i hope that the president will take a different path. that remains to be seen. but he can expect a strong and swift challenge from all of us and other members of congress and from the american people. >> democrats were also clearly worried about the potential impact of a prime time oval office address. they de demanded equal time. >> dana: what about the democrats planning, with nancy pelosi taking over as speaker, to pass appropriations, open up certain parts of the government during the shutdown? >> well, you're right, there are a number of government agencies that have their employees furlo

the house majority leader stenny hoyer put it like this, quote, i don't think the president has thatrity. i think it's analogous to governments around the world employing martial law doing whatever they want to whomever they want whenever they want all over the world. joe manchin says president trump has a right to do this. he blames congress for giving too much power to the executive branch. >> if the president declares an emergency he has a right to do that. it'll probably go to the courts. if that gets us out of the shutdown, so be it, i want out of the shutdown. >> in just four days, it will be the longest government shutdown ever in the history of the united states. shep? >> shepard: we still don't know if the president actually plans to declare an emergency, right? >> yes, we don't know. it's certainly a big possibility. we know that president trump has been considering it very seriously. vice president mike fence says that the white house's council's office is looking into the legality of it. just this morning he was asked point blank do you expect president trump to declare a

we've witnessed that for ourselves aboard the "uss stennis" just last week.8 fighters headed here, bombing raids against isis targets in iraq and syria. now while that partnership between u.s. forces and kurdish fighters has proven to be successful, it's angered neighboring turkey which considers elements within those for decades. kurds here are not only concerned the withdrawal of u.s. troops could enable an isis comeback, but the turkish-backed forces will go on the attack the moment the last american soldier leaves. now for the moment, anyway, sdf commanders on the ground here tell us they have seen no significant drawdown. in fact, it's more like a hurry-up offense as they try to take back as much isis territory as they can while u.s. troops are still here. for "cbs this morning," charlie d'agata in northern syria. >> thank you, charlie. >>> one of the most recognizable stars of stage and screen, carol channing, has died. ♪ a kiss on the hand may be quite continental ♪ ♪ but diamonds are a girl's best friend ♪ >> channing originated the role in gentlemen
