NOW.
MARIA: BLAKE THANK YOU SO
MUCH BLAKE BURMAN WHITE HOUSE
JOINING US FORMER GEORGE W.
BUSH SENIOR ADVISORY FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR KARL ROVE THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TO
WALK THIS -- THROUGH WITH US,
THE PRESIDENT IS ON A TWEETING
SPREE ABOUT THE BORDER WALL
FUNDING SHUTDOWN HIS 9TH TWEET
IN ABOUT AN HOUR SAYS THIS,
MITCH USED "NUCLEAR OPTION"
GET IT DONE OUR COUNTRY IS
COUNTING ON YOU, KARL ROVE
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON A
PUSH SHUTDOWN AND THE FACT
THAT THEY DON'T WANT HIM TO
HAVE ANY VICTORIES THEY DON'T
WANT HIM TO HAVE ANOTHER
CAMPAIGN PROMISE YOU KNOW
DELIVERED, SO THIS IS GOING TO
BE THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT
TWO YEARS.
>> YEAH, LOOK.
LET'S -- STEP IT THERE IS A
LOT OF HYPOCRISY IN HERE CHUCK
SCHUMER WAS ONE OF 80 MEMBERS
U.S. SENATE IN 2005 THAT VOTED
FOR SECURE FENCE ACT, AUTHORED
CONSTRUCTION OF 700 MILES OF
FENCE AND BORDER WALL, WE
BUILT ROUGHLY 650 MILES OF
THAT HE SUPPORTED IT HE COULD
HAVE SAID WE WILL GIVE THE
PRESIDENT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
TO COMPLETE THE COMMITMENT
THAT I CHUCK SCHUMER MADE IN
2005 TO BUILD 700 MILES OF
WALL, HAVING SAID THAT A TOTAL
MESS FROM START TO FINISH.
THE PRESIDENT HAS A TELEVISED
PRIVATE MEETING A TELEVISED
PRIVATE MEETING WITH SCHUMER
AN BLOWS TOY TRY TO HAVE AN
AGREEMENT IN THAT SAYS I AM
HAPPY TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT,
AND I WON'T BLAME YOU, THEN WE
GO FORWARD IN SENATE, STARTS
TALKING ABOUT PASSING A BILL
WITHOUT BORDER WALL, HE IS
SILENT UNTIL THEY PASS IT ONLY
AFTER THEY PASS IT THAT HE
BEGINS TO SAY OKAY I AM NOT
GOING TO SIGN THAT TEMPORARY
SPENDING MEASURE SO WE GET
RIGHT UP HERE TO THE END, AND
I -- I AGREE WITH -- YOUR
CORRESPONDENT AT THE WHITE
HOUSE I DON'T SEE THE WAY
FORWARD WHAT IS A STRATEGY TO
GET TO A VICTORY HERE SO WE
ARE LIKELY TO SEE A QUARTER
GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN BEFORE
CHRISTMAS BE CLEAR THE
PRESIDENT IS GOING TO GET
BLAMED FOR IT, THE POLL FOR
USA TODAY 43% WILL BLAME
PRESIDENT REPUBLICANS 24% WILL
BLAME DEMOCRATS 30% EQUAL
BLAME EVERYBODY PRESIDENT
NEEDS STRATEGY WAY TO GET TO
VICTORY START BY TELEVISING
PRIVATE MEETING WITH PELOSI
AND SCHUMER IN MY OPINION A
GRAVE MISTAKE ABOUT ONCE YOU
COMMIT PEOPLE SO PUBLICLY IT
IS HARD TO BACK DOWN.
>> GOING TO DIG IN NOW GOING
TO DIG IN ON EVERYTHING IS
THERE A STRATEGY TO PUSH BACK
ON BAUSHG HE IS ABOUT TO GET
NEXT TWO YEARS THAT IS WHAT I
AM SAYING DOES NOTHING GET
DONE UL BLUSTER AND FIGHTING?
>> YOU KNOW THERE CAN BE
THINGS THAT GET DONE, TAKE A
LOOK AT CRIMINAL JUSTICE
REFORM BILL GOT PASSED BY BIG
MARGINS IS THERE A WAY PEOPLE
COULD FIND A WAY FORWARD YEAH,
BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE THE
PRESIDENT NEEDS TO HAVE A
PLAN, AND A STRATEGY, AND HE
NEEDS TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT
PUTTINGING THIS ALL ON TV, IN
WASHINGTON SOMETIMES YOU DON'T
WANT TO SEE THE SAUSAGE MAKING
LET IT HAPPEN BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS.
DAGEN: IT IS DAGEN MCDOWELL
WHAT IS FUND-RAISING TO
AMERICAN PEOPLE EVERYTHING IS
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR NEXT
ELECTION, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
FOR MY POLLS RATHER THAN DOING
RIGHT THING STANDING BY A
PROMISE, AND I STEP BACK, AND
I HAVE BEEN VERY CRITICAL
ABOUT PRESIDENT TALKING
BRAGGING ABOUT STOCK MARKET
YOU KNOW ON YOU OWN WAY UP,
WAY DOWN ERRATIC ACTION
EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS SAID TO
VOTERS, GETTING OUT OF SYRIA,
BUILDING THE WALL YOU NAME IT
TAKING ON CHINA, THE TRADE
FIGHT, HE DELIVERED ON IT AND
THEN THE MEDIA AND SO MANY
PEOPLE, WITH MICROPHONES WERE
ATTACHED TO THEM, ACT SHOCKED,
THAT HE IS DOING THIS.
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEARN
SHOULDN'T BE SHOCKED WHEN HE
DOES SOMETHING HE PROMISED
PEOPLE THAT HE WOULD DO.
>> THAT IS RIGHT, BUT WHAT YOU
SAY IN THE CAMPAIGN, NEEDS TO
BE COMPLAINED IF YOU ARE GOING
TO DO IT AS PRESIDENT YOU
MENTIONED FOR EXAMPLE SYRIA,
THIS IS THIS IS A BIG,
IMPORTANT DECISION, BY
WITHDRAWING FROM SYRIA THERE
IS A REASON VLADIMIR PUTIN
PRAISED IT, THE AYATOLLAHS IN
TER RAN DIDN'T OPERATIVE IT
THIS IS A HUGE WIN BASICALLY
UNITED STATES PULLING OUT OF
SYRIA, AND WHICH IS A CLIENT
STATE OF IRAN ALLIES IN THE
MIDDLE EAST ARE DEEPLY
CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SO THIS
REQUIRES THE PRESIDENT
PATIENTLY EXPLAINING POLICY TO
ALLIES EXPLAINING IT TO THE
COUNTRY, AND INSTEAD OF
SPRINGING IT ON US WITHOUT
EXPLANATION --
>> I AGREE WITH YOU ON.
DAGEN: I AGREE WITH YOU ON
THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT I
AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT BUT IF
YOU LOOKS AT IT FROM THROUGH A
DIFFERENT LENS HE TALKED ABOUT
IT, AND.
MARIA: CAMPAIGN PROMISE
DELIVERING.
DAGEN: RIGHT IN TERMS OF
ALLIES THIS ALSO THIS THREAD
BETWEEN SYRIA, AND THE TRADE
FIGHT IS WELL SLAPPED ON
ALLIES UNEXPECTEDLY WITHOUT
MUCH NOTICE, WHY JOURNAL OUT
WITH JOIRL THIS MORNING.
MARIA: SCATHINGING OP-ED, THE
TRUMP VOLATILITY RISKS
EDITORIAL BOARD CRITICIZES THE
PRESIDENT OVER CHOICE OF WORDS
AGAINST FED RECENT, TROOP
WITHDRAWALS RIGHTING I RATTIC
ACTION ARE DIFFERENT HEADING
INTO 2019 DIVIDED GOVERNMENT M
TRUMP ACTING LESS LIKE A
DISTURBER OF STATUS QUO MORE
LIKE RAGING BULL.
>> LET'S TAKE AFGHANISTAN AS
AN EXAMPLE OF THIS THE
PRESIDENT APPARENTLY IS GOING
TO WITHDRAW HALF U.S. TROOPS
THERE, IN THE A VERY SHORT ARE
PERIOD OF TIME THE TALIBAN
LET'S NOT FORGET A BARBARIC
REGIME GAVES SANCTUARY TO
OSAMA BIN LADEN AND AL-QAIDA
AFTER 9/11 ROUGHED TO TURN
OSAMA BIN LADEN OVER REFUSES
TO EDUCATE WOMAN ENGAGED IN
MOST BARBARIC PRACTICES, AND
NOW WHAT IS MESSAGE WAIT OUT
THE U.S., AND YOU CAN REGAIN
POWER, SO WE GOT TO BE CAREFUL
ABOUT THIS THE PRESIDENT WHEN
MAKES DECISIONS, NEEDS TO
EXPLAIN THEM TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE, IN A WAY THAT AMERICAN
