political analyst ed rollins. chad pergram thinks because of the timing, congress out until wednesday, the odd are high that on the 21st the government will shut down. ed: my sense is the democrats and the republicans will go along with a continuing resolution. if the president hangs tough it may be shut down. but it's my sense is there not much stomach among the gutless wonders on the hill to do anything like that. lou: the gutless wonders have done it before. ed: they don't like shutting the government down. lou: they don't mind not working. ed: but you don't see that, it's not obvious. lou: i want to turn to mick mulvaney. how many jobs can one man hold? ed: bottom line, he'll tell his wife and kids he'll see them in two years or four years. the great part about him. he knows the government, he knows the congress. he's the perfect choice. he walks in there and he knows what the president need. it will be a smooth operation. clearly he can make it happen for the president. the problem bringing someone else in, they try to change things and alter things. the dynamics are effective at this

globalist elites, radical dimms who stymied the trump agenda. ed rollins, political columnist radio host david web among our guests. >>> the top story tonight, the federal judge who has delayed sentencing for general michael flynn until at least march. at the hearing judge emmett sullivan questioned whether flynn may have committed treasonning a serving for a lobbyist for turkey. sullivan withdrew the remark. before the hearing president trump wished general flynn good luck on the outcome, flynn was interviewed by the fbi in a dodgy fashion. >> the things that may have taken place, again that's for the judge to make the determination, whether he engaged in something inappropriate. what we do know that was inappropriate by own self admittance of james comey is that the fbi broke standard protocol in the way that they came in and ambushed general flynn and in the way they questioned him and in the way they encouraged him not to have white house counsel's office present and we know that because james comey told us that and he said the reason they did it was because the only reason they did

top, top people in the white house, brooks rollins, they have now been coming out with the first step-back. working for a year-and-a-half on prison reform, criminal justice reform and i think it is the beginning of a first thing that can get us back to a bipartisan environment. i think that will be very, very helpful to the markets, to a certain extent. although i think earnings is what drives a stock. to have an environment where people seem to be getting along better, i think would be a good sign. charles: that is a great point. we also had a farm bill that passed in the senate overnight overwhelmingly. maybe more republicans voted against it than democrats. nevertheless between prison reform, the farm bill, some of these bipartisan things, i think might be more important than the dust-up we saw in the gaggle yesterday, there is something to be said about a positive feeling or things getting done or at least, at least a civility in washington, even though earnings count. the mood of the nation, ultimately the income statement begins with a revenue line. sometimes that helps wit
