we have had a couple of flight delays and illness ourself. i apologize for that. we'll struggle through as best we can. i want to begin, frankly, by congratulating the majority. is this is a bert product than we have seen -- this is a better product than we have seen before. the chairman is right. this represents a genuine conferenced article. not completely conferenced because in a real conference nothing is agreed to until everything is aa greed to. and homeland security is not agreed to in this bill. still a better product than we have seen so far. i think that ought to be recognized. unfortunately, i think the same obstacles that we have had so far are going to reassert themselves again, mr. chairman. the senate has said it's not going to take up a bill that the president won't sign. the president will not sign this bill because it does not deal with homeland security. in that sense we're going to go through this exercise yet again. the president said that this is an issue he thinks could be settled in a 45-minute meeting. i don't know if that's the case or no

and charge to protect ourself from you and see and realize we were the enemy. during bryant's four years in the air force the vietnam conflict think recently polarized the american public. and the lord as his commanders about atrocities he had witnessed his reports were ignored he emerged from the military and vietnam with a profound sense of alienation. go to one country to. commit genocide to still be. people. much more two of. the officers treated. people one on the fourth of july like brian run kovac received the bronze star for valor and the purple heart after being wounded leading an attack in vietnam. even though i was paralyzed in viet nam in many ways i see that it was a blessing in disguise i had been able to recognize. that peace is so much more important in war. standing and compassion respecting the lives of each and every human being how many more bombs are we going to have to drop how many more people are going to have to die we've got to profoundly change i turn in my branch barack took work on art i locked my leg in viet nam i totally opposed t

who are very to sign that paper saying that we also we have to respect the book we have to reframe ourself by. you know letting people or provoke a thing people but the senate didn't want to sign that document finally nobody is under documents and that's why we are telling everybody in this ward we are telling the same in particularly that siniora has to be firm and. to provoke people and he has to announce. mr monger norms that is old which. should be should reflect the we of police what does your own tally say you know from across the country what does it say about who's in the lead so far my tally is seeing. you witnessed clearly it's. you know just take someone to still get we want you this is what the saying but we'll be firm ourselves to give the critics you do we have a lot of them and now we are getting some orders and our time we'll give you. our statistic saying but i hope that the war lords stopped the internet you have been described as a reformer a man of integrity you've been constant in your criticism against president joseph kabila and his government against corruption that

president trump, start thinking about people first, not ourself. >> thank you. we're now goinger to to the hear om the secretary-treasury of afge. >> it is time, my brothers and sisters if the president to do his job. that job is to represent the whole country. all of america. americans want toe the government opened. our members want the government opened. an we need to let the president know, we need him to get the job done. we're insisting that the senate take a vote on h.r. 21 and any appropriations bills to get the government open. we insist that that happens. federal employees are hurting. those reporting for work without pay are barely making ends meet. throw in the additional cost of tolls and other fees to get to work and it is astronomical. real families and real bills are being harmed in every way. and we need to hold this leadership accountable. the shutdown is ready to compromise the future of our government. who wants to sign up for a work force that says to its workers, you can come to work but guess what, you will not get paid for it. your curren

we would have to take care of the situation ourself. i think in order to do that, there is a willingness on the japanese side and the leadership that has to be some kind of direct talks with the north korean side. in order to prepare for that situation. that's the only way to go, i think. >> this say panel on foreign policy. i'm curious what you can tell us about japanese policy towards some contested parts of the world. for example, the arab, israeli, palestinian dispute. is japan really trying to stay away from saying very much? is it working behind the scenes? i'm curious what impact the shifts in policies in some of the areas have on japanese diplomacy. >> that's a good question. we focused a lot on not just today but in the last couple of years in looking at abe's foreign policy on the indopacific region. what about the other challenges in the world? if japan is going to play more of an assertive role, these are important issues. is it interested? is it involved? >> i don't know if i have the expertise to fully answer to your quest

the case of guaido, the guy that we recognize, he has ourself, most of the western hemisphere leaders and canada. what happens now? >> good to be here. this was a gutsy move by president trump. maduro's no longer legally president under venezuela law. the venezuela assembly, which is controlled by the opposition, declared the office vacant, which makes guaido president. now, the backing of major international countries and with the dire -- >> neil: and how did he get to that point? he was the opposition leader? >> the opposition leader. when the president becomes vacant, he's leader. so the president trump is gambling that by nations and how dire the situation is, that the venezuelan people and security forces will turn against maduro. it's a big gamble but a gamble worth taking. >> neil: little apples and oranges. forgive me when i ask you dumb questions. i think of the ayatollah khamenei. we couldn't fathom that a religious leader would, you know, go ahead and allow american representatives to be taken hostage and for over a year. we didn't know how to respond to that outside of say

the more we tray to ape our machines, measure ourself with utility value rather than essential that's why i end up on panels arguing for a place for humans in the future. there are many technologists who say human beings need to pass to technology. when the sing lart comes and they are smarter then we are they are the next life form. no, we should have a place for people. people are weird and funky and strange. there's some essential value to humans. we perceive reality. we can sustain ambiguity. he said to me, oh, rushkov, you say that you're you're human. >> i said, fine, guilty. i'm on team human then. i'm going to arpg human beings have some essential value. that's fighting words. >> fix this thing, douglas. figur fix it for us. what should we do, the llective we and the individual we. i notice in one article you said maybe you should get off social media. right? >> well, people should -- they really should feel at liberty to use what technologies they want and not use ones they don't want. they have to start to understand these technologies are as powerful as drugs. you know, tha

well two years later on this day after the longest shutdown the government has ever seen, we're asking ourself the same question. the government has been shut down for nearly 5% of the time president trump has been in office. the democratic response to his immigration proposal unveiled yesterday suggests this logjam is nowhere near broken. in his speech, the president offered to extend protection from deportation temporarily for some undocumented immigrants, including so-called dreamers. in exchange for the $5.7 billion he wants for his border wall. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, he promised to vote on the plan as it drew criticism from both democrats and conservative figures alike. with that, which is a lot, we would like to welcome my panel, white house bureau chief of "the washington post" and msnbc political analyst philip rucker. former republican congressman from indiana, david mcintosh. and senior advise are for move on.org and msnbc contributor. thank you all for being here. we want to get a take a full month after the shutdown began, phil, i'll start with you, are we in any t

tonight, we have to ask ourself this question. what have the democrats nancy and chuck been standing up for? actually nothing. there is no position here. they have only been play indicating what is now the radical extreme base of the socialist democratic party of today. and all they do is fuel their daily anti-trump rage and hate. ask that question tonight. democrats, what do they do? they went on vacation. the president stayed at the white house. luxurious junkets really paid bye bye lobbyists while the president stays it at the white house. refusing invitation after invitation to sit down with the president who is saying i'm willing to work with you. i will work on daca and dreamers. we have got to secure the border to save the lives of our fellow country men because of the problem with open borders these other democrats privately they have been going behind the leadership in their own party asking leaders like lindsey graham and others, hey, help us get this period where we can try to get this job done. they want the wall as we

we are weakening ourself from within. anybody watching overseas that wants to do america harm is looking at this and licking their chops. that's why the politics and the president specifically, as the commander in chief, has to end this shutdown. tomorrow, veteran service organizations are going to rally in washington at 2:00 p.m. to unite and call for a shutdown. put the nation ahead of politics. >> paul, thank you. >> appreciate it. >>> here is something on a monday morning that should make you smile. sue morris. she wanted to do something special for her dad on his 96th birthday. she did what we do. she posted a note there on facebook. she asked for people to send world war ii veteran and purple heart recipient dwayne sherman a birthday card. she hoped he might get around 100. well, folks delivered, in a big way. sherman got more than 50,000 birthday cards from all 50 states and ten countries, as well. among those who sent letters, elementary schoolers, prison inmates, secretary of the navy, even the pittsburgh steeler

tough lift for them, but it has to be weighing on them and we have to look at the reality that closing ourself out of the market that could potentially be an extraordinary receiver of american goods is not helping us as well. >> mr. kirk, i assume you agree with eamon javers who said the americans are paying these additional tariffs and tell me if i'm wrong on that but my question is how separable or complicating is the matter of the huawei indictment and the indictment attempts at extraditing the daughter of the founder of huawei at cfo, how complicated is that in this whole stew >> i want to be careful because i don't have all of the details of the story behind that, but for one, we're already going to be very difficult negotiations you know in the past when we've taken actions like this, to no surprise, many times, american executives in china have been targeted for enforcement activity from the chinese government so this is a very, very tentative stage of negotiations to begin with and that can't be helpful, but i'm not going to criticize the administration on that because whether it's the

the question we need to ask ourself is that other than the president's kids, who has the president had a positive working relationship with? of all the people in his inner circle? you're talking about communications directors, attorneys general. that's my world. white house chiefs of staff. and this relationship keeps breaking down. anybody who tries to check the president including a lawyer or communications record or runs cross sides of them seems to get in trouble. you're seeing that here. >> it could depend on how you see positive. the president sees tumultuous is okay. rudy giuliani argues he's doing alternative arguing. he's purposely arguing something different than the facts. >> it's ruling by chaos. that doesn't work as a legal strategy. courts and our legal system doesn't work that way. and if the facts and the law won't -- look, you can create a chaotic world as much as you can, but if you violated the obstruction of justice statute, you're going to jail. >> except to play the devil's advocate, i feel like part of the battle the trump administration is playing not just a leg

and there's an opportunity and i feel like we need to insert ourseou ourselfselvou ourself selves and part of the vetting process is the companies that are working with the communities, formerly incarcerated, people recently out of work, women who have been out of the work force, too, or people of color. these are -- so we don't have to say specifically about a race or a gender, but we can say about aligned with work force development. i know i've gone on a long time and i also want to thank you for also having a special conscience around all this money that is city money earned off the backs of hardworking san franciscans. >> i'll be brief, but there are ways that we can push it a bit more, in the envelope, and be clear, too, with these contracts. these are large sums of money. i'm not going to tell you that they're not, but the processes that we're doing now, we basically prequalified the firms. so we're going to give these firms a contract today or at least i hope we approve to allow us to move forward, but there is no work yet. it's not until a department approaches our office and

we've undertaken it ourself. they make up half the audience, half the population. at sundance this year they will make up half the directors in competition yet they somehow end up making 4% of studio directors. how do we get 4 percent to 8% to 12%, it's been creating mandates like regina stated. aja dubonnet, the first black woman to win the directing prize at the sundance festival she started a show, queen sugar, she made the mandate every director of the series would be a woman. the women who directed on queen sugar have now gone on to direct episodes of other television shows and created their own television shows. clearly they have the aptitude, the talent but did not have the access. i think regina's mandate is about creating access because the people are there. >> even frances mcdormand when she won her last oscar talked about inclusion mandates. so you're getting a lot of support from a lot of corners. i wonder whether you think this explosion in diversity is real and here to stay. you mentioned dubonnet, ""a wrinkle in time", steve mcqueen's widows, boots r

us, but we wanted an act that would restore us to allow us to be our own sovereign body and care for ourself with the protection that our land would be safe forever and a place to live. so there's that connection with the kennedys that, again, our tribe likes. >> i was wondering when you would get to that. >> well, it's there. we had also a lawyer that stepped up -- wisconsin had a -- established an organization that would provide legal expenses to people who were poor. and so one of our certificate holders were told she wasn't able to get any of the information from our company because she was only a certificate holder. she wasn't a shareholder. and so we went to the lawyer. he helped us. he became a lawyer for the group that we formed to do something to help ourselves. we knew we had to -- nobody was helping us. the land was going. so that's where the drums movement came in. it was the determination of rights for menominee shareholders. one thing i need to say, and it might take more than three minutes, but it was the women's rights movement, so you had the women and the nation becoming mo

think that when you sit here and the rapidity of information flow in the back and forth we can talk ourself into become a self-fulfilling prophecy in the underlying fundamentals we can see as strong as it was six months ago and there's a little disconnect and i know from the veterans who have been on wall street for a long time they're saying the markets know what they're doing. >> we're going to hear a lot from schumer and pelosi about the pain cost for people not getting paychecks and families not being able to make ends meet and it's going to be all pointed at petulant trump, we keep hearing it again and again and again. it does take two to tango. they could do $2.5 billion and then immediately the government would open so all the people they're talking about don't need to be put in that -- in their mind don't you think these people are pawns in the game they're playing as well? if they were so concerned about the people getting hurt. both sides are so entrenched. >> the incentives in place don't point to any of that -- >> i think it's cynical to hear them talk about how badly they're fe
