the speaker's letter after the president said he was going forward, the extension on january 3rd, a mutually agreed-upon date. at that time there was no thought that the government would still be shut down, my further correspondence said we should work together to find a mutually agreeable date when the government has reopened. i am writing to inform you that the house of representatives will not consider a resolution authorizing the president's state of the union address in the house chamber until the government has opened. where is this going? let's bring in our panel. jonah goldberg at the national review, susan page, the bureau chief in mollie hemingway, the senior editor at the federalist. we debated how big a deal this was, this back and forth. there are a lot of things happening around the world, but it is pretty unique. >> is not a great spectacle. i think donald trump was right to call nancy pelosi's bluff.

nancy pelosi doesn't want him there, she should stand up and say so. i have a hard time believing 110% of the american people say they are severely affected by the shutdown according to this poll that even a fraction of those people are really heartbroken that they may not see the state of the union address. this is something that washington cares about a great deal, it will substitute just fine if he gives it from somewhere else. i can't stand the state of union address, so i'm glad to see it taken down a peg. it is a sign of the partisan breakdown in washington. >> bret: you are a truth there, you want the whole thing -- >> i am. woodrow wilson is the worst president in american history, want to leave it there. >> bret: susan, beyond this back and forth, if they can get the address right, there is no

progress on dealing with the shutdown. >> like anything else this year, one of the things that we see unfolding now is the way that these two powerful people represent their parties are going to operate for the next two years. i think it doesn't give you much hope for legislative action or on a path to open the governmen government. it is 33 days, the president is taking it on the chin and polls consistently show him down from december. and yet you don't even see urgent negotiations going on. >> bret: most responsible for the government shutdown, you are right, president trump's 51% in congress are 34%. that matches other polls, what describes the emergency problem in the shutdown? that gets the most attention from people in her latest poll. here are some of the frustration in the house and senate.

security. that is not a serious person right now. >> bret: there is a break it seems, you have others talking about border security a lot. there is an offer on the table, $5.7 billion, but it can't include a barrier or wall they say. >> even though they are used to good effect in various places along the border. >> there doesn't seem to be a crack. >> people -- it is how you would expect adults to be. you offer this so we will offer this. again, when nancy pelosi is offering $1, that is what she thinks is a powerful bed and to do all these antics, we talk about the state of the union not being -- we might not like it. it is also an institution. particularly it is a modern institution. the first speaker to get rid of this norm, to get rid of this thing and then to complain about other people when you are the

react in destructive ways as well. i think that one of the things you talk to democrats on the hill about, they are negotiating. that is absolutely true. the they have offered some perfy good tactics. nancy pelosi is locked into this idea, they don't want to credit this idea that you shutdown the government to get what you want. >> they are talking past each other. >> bret: the hostage message was very prominent on capitol hill today. some people like polls as a snapshot of time and other people hate them. we will show you what ours shows. fox five, building the wall, the breakdown. 43% on both of the wall, more agents, 73%. 10% says this is severe, the

even worse. we have to think prudently about how to involve ourselves. >> bret: the president did hand on that, all things are on the table. you heard senator rubio talking about that. >> the president did say that but i would be surprised if we take military action. especially given the reluctance to get involved militarily around the world, he has been trying to withdraw. we have a lot of tools here, we have a lot of economic sanctions that we could impose against venezuela. some cost to ourselves with the sanction oil for instance, we have tools that the president can use. >> bret: more tools as the u.s. energy, we have the ability to produce her own oil and gas might have stepped up. one question, whether venezuela turns to russia or china as a rescue line. >> another reason to talk about the munro doctrine, that great

state of the union delivered on paper. [laughs] we don't want them to have any kind of checked on there. the cubans are playing there for very long time and that is something to keep an eye on. >> bret: the state of the union took it on the chin tonight. we come back, a winter wonderland gets an unexpected visit. ♪ . . .
