CENTER AND YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Shannon: DEMOCRATIC 2020
CONTENDERS SENATOR LIZ WARREN
TONIGHT SAYS REPUBLICANS ARE
SCARED OF PRESIDENT TRUMP.
BUT SHE HOPES THE MORE SENATE
REPUBLICANS WILL BREAK RANKS AND
DEFY THE PRESIDENT WHEN IT COMES
TO THE BOARD BARRIER.
THIS IS IN A MAJORITY LEADER
MITCH McCONNELL WHO SAYS THE
TWO SITES ARE TALKING DESPITE
THE TWO FAILED VOTES TODAY.
SENATOR RICK SCOTT IS A
REPUBLICAN FROM FLORIDA.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH US
TONIGHT.
>> GREAT TO BE HERE.
THIS PLACE IS MESSED UP.
>> Shannon: WE WERE TALKING
THAT YOU ARE USED TO BEING AN
EXECUTIVE, AND PRIVATE BUSINESS
AND ALSO AT THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
WHAT'S IT LIKE TO COME HERE AND
FACE WHAT YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE
OF NOW?
>> IT'S DYSFUNCTIONAL.
THINK ABOUT IT.
ALMOST EVERYBODY YOU TALK TO
SAYS THEY WANT TO OPEN UP A
GOVERNMENT, THEY ALL SAY THEY
WANT BORDER SECURITY, THEN WHY
DON'T THEY DO IT?
NOTHING IS HAPPENING.
I HOPE THAT WHAT THESE BOTH
TODAY -- MAJORITY LEADER
McCONNELL WAS A TERRIBLE
CHUCK SCHUMER AND THEY WILL GET
SOMETHING DONE.
WE HAVE TO DO IT FOR THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC.
800,000 PEOPLE NOT WORKING.
WE HAD A BELL ON THURSDAY I
THOUGHT WAS GOING TO PASS AT HER
PAY THE COAST GUARD.
STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT.
THEY CANNOT QUIT THEIR JOBS.
WE ARE NOT PAYING THEM.
IT'S ONE THING IF YOU HAVE OTHER
PEOPLE NOT GETTING PAID, THEY
CAN STOP AND GET ANOTHER JOB.
COAST GUARD CANNED.
THEY ARE PART OF THE MILITARY.
CHUCK SCHUMER STOPPED IT.
>> Shannon: WHY DO YOU THINK
IT IS IN BREAKING THROUGH?
WE ALL KNOW THERE ARE REAL
PEOPLE IMPACTED, YOU TALK ABOUT
PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DANGEROUS
CAPACITIES ALL OVER THIS
COUNTRY.
THERE IS WORD TONIGHT THAT THERE
IS A GROUP OF BIPARTISAN
SENATORS WHO ARE MEETING AND
TALKING.
MITCH McCONNELL REFERENCE
BACK.
HE SAID IT LEAST WE ARE TALKING.
ABOUT 16 OF THEM.
ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?
YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CONVERSATIONS
THEY ARE HAVING?
>> THERE'S CONVERSATIONS GOING
ON.
THESE ASIDES HAVE GOTTEN CLEARED
HERE AND THERE.
I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL SEE
THEM BREAK THERE, HOPEFULLY
TONIGHT OR TOMORROW.
WE'LL GET SOMETHING GOING.
WE'VE GOT TO OPEN UP GOVERNMENT.
WE'VE GOT TO -- HERE'S MY
FRUSTRATION.
WE KNOW WE HAVE TO GET THE
BORDER.
WHY ARE WE DOING IT WHEN YOU'RE
AT A TIME?
PERMANENT FIX.
I BELIEVE WE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF
THE DACA KIDS, FIX TPS
PERMANENTLY, DO IT NOW SO WE ARE
NOT DOING IT THREE MONTH AND
NEXT YEAR.
>> Shannon: THAT'S WHAT
DEMOCRAT SAID THEY WANTED, TOO,
AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR FOR A
VOTE, THAT PACKAGE DIDN'T MAKE
IT.
>> IT'S FRUSTRATING.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S ALL POLITICS
AND WHO WINS, WHO SAVES FACE,
THIS IS ABOUT THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC DOING THE RIGHT THING,
KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE, AS
GOVERNOR, YOU HAVE THREE JOBS.
GIVE PEOPLE A JOB, GIVE THE KIDS
A GOOD EDUCATION, AND MAKE SURE
EVERYBODY IS SAFE, LIVE IN A
SAFE COMMUNITY.
THE BORDER IS PART OF THAT.
WE CAN'T HAVE DRUGS COMING
ACROSS, WE CAN'T HAVE OTHER
THINGS HAPPEN.
WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS SAFE.
I GOT A BRIEFING THIS WEEK FROM
HOMELAND SECURITY AND I TALKED
TO SECRETARY NIELSEN TODAY, AND
WE JUST WENT THROUGH, WHAT DO WE
NEED TO DO PERMANENTLY.
LET'S DO IT.
LET'S NOT WAIT.
>> Shannon: WOULD YOU VOTE FOR
A THREE WEEK CR?
IT HAS TO HAVE A LARGE DOWN
PAYMENT ON THE WALL?
DEMOCRATS DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THEY
WERE FOR THAT EITHER.
>> HERE IS WHAT IS FRUSTRATING.
HOW CAN YOU DO THAT WHEN YOU
HAVE PELOSI SAYING, I WILL NOT
PROVIDE ANY FUNDING?
THAT IS NOT A REAL NEGOTIATION.
SO THE DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING, NO
FUNDING.
WHAT WOULD HELP YOU TO DO A
THREE WEEK OR TWO WEEK CONTINUAL
SOLUTION IF THEY WON'T
NEGOTIATE?
>> Shannon: DONNA BRAZILE TOLD
DANA PERINO THAT PELOSI MAY BE
WORKING ON SOMETHING TO PRESENT,
ALTHOUGH WE'VE HEARD THAT'S NOT
COMING, IT WILL BE INTERESTING.
>> SHE'S NOT EVEN IN THE TOWN
PARADE >> Shannon: SHE SAID
SOME OF THEM ARE BUT SOME OF
THEM WILL BE.
I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT
VENEZUELA BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN A
VERY OUTSPOKEN VOICE ON THIS.
I WANT TO PUT UP A MAP WE HAVE
OF THE NUMBER OF COUNTRIES WHO
ARE SUPPORTING AND THERE WAS --
SUPPORTING MATERIAL, AND THOSE
SUPPORTING THE NEW OPPOSITION
LEADER, BEING VIEWED BY THE
U.S. AS THE INTERIM PRESIDENT.
A LOT OF VIOLENCE, LIVES HAVE
BEEN LOST.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
>> FIRST OFF, I WANT TO THANK
THE PRESIDENT.
WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY WAS
PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL
ASSEMBLY, GUAIDO, DECLARE HIM AS
THE INTERIM LEADER, AND WE DID.
I'M GLAD WE DID THAT.
WE NEED TO GO FURTHER, DECLARE
VENEZUELA A STATE OF TERRORISM.
WE NEED TO STOP ALL SHIPMENTS
BECAUSE THAT IS THE MONEY THAT
IS PAYING THE MILITARY.
WE'VE GOT TO PUT AS MAXIMUM
PRESSURE ON NOW.
IF WE WANT TO SAY PEOPLE'S
LIVES, GET THEM BACK TO
DEMOCRACY, GOT TO DO EVERYTHING
WE CAN.
I WANT TO THANK EVERY COUNTRY
THAT IS STEPPING UP, LIKE
AMERICA DID, AND SAY WE WILL
RECOGNIZE THE NEW INTERIM LEADER
AND HE NEEDS TO FOLLOW THE
CONSTITUTION AND CALL ELECTIONS.
>> Shannon: YOUR MESSAGE,
THOUGH, TOO -- MADURO TOLD OUR
DIPLOMATS TO GET OUT, NOT
EMERGENCY PERSONNEL.
YOUR MESSAGE TO THEM REGARDING
THE SAFETY OF U.S. DIPLOMATS IN
THE OPPOSITION LATER?
>> WE NEED TO KEEP EVERYBODY
SAFE AND WE NEED -- AMERICA NEED
TO BE PART OF THAT.
WE NEED TO KEEP THE DIPLOMAT
SAFE BUT THEY NEED TO STAY
THERE.
THEY ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE NEW
LEADER BUT THEY NEED TO STAY
THERE.
SHANNON, THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A
SECOND.
THESE DEMOCRATS TALK ABOUT
SOCIALISM, HOW IT'S FAIR.
IT'S FAIR, EVERYBODY IS BROKEN
AND SOCIALISM.
WE SEE THAT IN VENEZUELA.
THIS WAS A THRIVING COUNTRY.
BUT NOW THESE DEMOCRATS, THEY
OUGHT TO DO A FACT-FINDING
MISSION.
GO DOWN THERE AND SPEND A LITTLE
WHILE, SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING TO
PEOPLE WITH SOCIALISM.
