welcome back to breaking news. let's take you back to the white house where we are standing by with news on what was supposed to be state of the union next tuesday. what has the president said? >> that's right. president trump just allowed reporters into a room with a meeting with conservative leaders saying in response to nancy pelosi that she doesn't want to hear the truth. he called it also a very negative part of history. he is in many ways right about the historic nature of this. it will be a pretty historic occasion. he also nodded to the idea that we have been talking about for several days now that there are alternative options. >> hang on, here is the president. >> we are doing a great job at the border considering we don't have the tools. we have to have a wall. we have to have a barricade of some kind, a steel barricade. it is already designed.
