To give away 12 billion extra and we are giving away 54billion in foreign aid. We dont give money to our own country. And democrats hunkered dunn with the president in the situation room. A room typically reserved for matters of national security. Republicans and democrats emerging from that room with very different takes. It is not helping the president. It is not helping the republicans to be the owners of this shutdown. Today we gave them an opportunity to get out of that and open up the government as we debate Border Security. I am a little disappointed with some on the other side. Once the secretary started and senator schumer interrupted her and they didnt want to hear it. House Majority Leader Kevin Mccarthy takes us inside that meeting. First exclusive reaction from the white house with the deputy press secretary. Its been a heck of a day. You were there for both meetings. Did anything change today . I am not sure, only because democrats refused to acknowledge the facts. What the president did today was monumental. He brought hem into the situation room to have a conversation with secretary nielsen to brief them on the crisis on the border. These numbers are devastating, sad and senseless. Democrats wanted nothing to do with it. The president opened the meeting. He turned to secretary nielsen and said she is going to begin her briefing. Within 5 seconds Chuck Schumer prompted nancy pelosi to cut secretary nielsen off which she did within seconds. Then the entire presentation was over. I bet that the secretary said probably 50 words in the entire presentation which tells you a couple of things. One is the democrats didnt know, didnt believe and didnt care about anything secretary nielsen had to say. Do you believe that they dont care to hear what the secretary has to say . Maybe this was not their expectations for the briefings. There is no other explanation. They listened and been able to understand and believed the information, they would now know that 17,000 convicted criminals coming into this country. I. C. E. Has detained known or suspected terrorists and thousands of gang members have been arrested at the border as well. Nancy pelosi refused to listen to those numbers. When they were spread around the room, she refused it believe them as well. I have never seen anything like it in my life. What is the president s reaction . What is he saying . After these two meetings today, where does the president stand . We are about to enter day 13 of the shutdown. He invited Leadership Back to the white house for another meeting on friday. Will he be more willing to negotiate then . He is asking democrats to give on their end. They dont want to provide funding for the border wall. What is President Trump willing to give up . He stands for the safety and security of the american people. The democrats stand for hundreds of thousands of people who come here illegally as opposed to hundreds of millions of american citizen. The bill that nancy pelosi that she put Forward Funds foreign aid more than it does Border Security. She wants to give more of americans money to Foreign Countries than spend on protection of our own country. A lot changes tomorrow with the new Congress Convening and nancy pelosi will become the speaker. What changes tomorrow before the meeting at the white house on friday. Is there more room to negotiate or has the president been put into a corner . Well, nancy pelosi should be more able to negotiate once she is speaker of the house. The president is clear. Not only has he repeated where he stands in protecting the american people, but the democrats are on record standing with people who are here illegally. Thats a watershed moment for this country. A party refuses to address what they want which is Border Security. But they dont want Border Security. They voted down every measure. They plan to bringing 6 bills to the floor tomorrow that have already passed in some is form in the house or in committee under republican leadership. If anything makes its way to the president s desk that doesnt have the funding for the border wall will he veto anything . Thats a hypothetical. I wont get into those. I can tell you the president has been clear. What he wants on his desk is a bill that opens the government and funds the government and protects the american people. Right now, the democrats are not serious about that. You know they are not serious because serious people with serious plans and serious proposals dont negotiate in the press. Thats all the democrats are doing. You have spoken to the president since both meetings ended yourself . Yes, i have absolutely. Can you tell us anything he said . I dont want to get in to private conversations, but he stand firm with the american people. He wants to come through on this one. The crisis at the border is not going away. Where we were years ago, democrats are pushing forward with status quo money and legislation and we are not in status quo. We are in crisis mode. The president knows that and so do the american people. All right. Thank you. Our next guest was inside the situation maam. Room. Kevin mccarthy. You heard that conversation. A lot of people are wondering how can there be a cabinet meeting, a briefing in the situation room, 8 leaders from both parties and both chambers of commerce and the president and the white house told us nothing changed today. How can that be . Well, i thank the president for putting the meeting together. Thats what has changed. The vicepresident went to Senate Schumer who could determine whether government stayed open or was shutdown 13 days ago. He made an offer. Schumer never got back to him and shut the government down. Its not a simple majority in the senate. It takes 60 votes. The democrats decided about the shutdown. The president and vicepresident want to work this out. Democrat leadership leaves. He brought everybody together in the situation room. We were going to have a briefing about the crisis at the border today. The rise of those who are trying to come across the border and just within the last 48 hours, we had a violent mob run across. Try to get across the border. We were having a briefing with the secretary of homeland. She could not get past the first sentence before she was interrupted by schumer and nancy pelosi. They stayed on script almost like they had written a script. They went through 6 bills and not do anything with Homeland Security. What should our take away be from that, congressman . Is this about Border Security . Is it about money . Is it about the change of leadership about to happen and waiting until after that . What is this standoff really about . It is not about money because we have to appropriate within the dollar figure. We could fund this easily. Do you want to have open borders or a border that you can control . Do you want to open the government . What the president picked up on and it came across with some of the democrats, it might be easier for them to have this discussion after the vote for speaker tomorrow. The president said lets go back on friday after the speaker vote. Maybe you will be in a different position and could start negotiating to get the government open. Nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer emerged from the meeting saying that the president refused to answer one question. Heres nancy pelosi today. We had given the republicans a chance to take yes for an answer. We took their proposal unamended, but just staying true to what the senate has already done. Our question to the president and to the republicans is why dont you accept what you have already done to open up government . That enables us to have 30 days to negotiate for Border Security. Perhaps you can answer that question. Well, clearly for the last 13 days. The democrats offered nothing. Today they offered nothing. There was only one side in that room willing to compromise and come to an agreement. The number of times i had to ask the democrats what is your offer then . I could not get them to define what Border Security is. They say they believe in Border Security. Okay, define what Border Security is . They dont want to talk about having a wall. Thats an element of Border Security. When you look at san diego, el paso, arizona. They made the communities safe by more than 95 after putting Border Security wall up. I have to leave it there. How long does this shutdown last . Well, this could be solved quickly. I am hopeful after the speaker vote they are in a different position and they will negotiate and find compromise and bring this Government Back open and secure our borders. Great to you have on the program. Here is charlie hurt the opinion editor in the washington times, and people see this and they wonder how nothing is getting done and the government is still shutdown. We are interesting day 13. Thats the gamble the president is taking. He sees the situation and steps back. Its frustrating trying to figure out what movement occurs. How is nothing changing . When its that confusing its smart to step back. Thats what President Trump is banking on. You look at the big picture. He is saying, i am standing up for Border Security. I am against people who dont like my wall and they dont like there are element of that group of people who are in favor of apolishing i. C. E. And sanctuary cities. He says i can win that fight. You have that going on at the same time he is having a debate about pulling out of syria. The quote you had which was a good one for him. Talking about spending more money in afghanistan in a month than it would cost to build a wall. All of that is manna to the people that voted for him. I want to bring in christopher. Chris, weigh in on the moment. Usually at this time of the night so much as changed. It doesnt seem like it has. But a big couple of days coming up. The president decided to own this shutdown. He owns. The democrats not to the white house looking to negotiate and not proto be lectured. They went there for a briefing and the Homeland Security secretary was interrupted by democrats. Go ahead. Well, i think the democrats have a good understanding about what is going on at the border. They see it differently than the president and different than nielsen. They want to continue to negotiate. I think democrats see the situation at the border than the Homeland Security secretary. The republicans see this as a crisis to get up their base because its fake. Democrats see the reality that border crossings are down. Charlie, would you like to respond to that . We dont want a wall which wont solve anythings problem. Democrats believe that the crisis on the border is a fake crisis, you are going to lose that fight without a doubt. And the president did make a very valid offer. It was far more than a lot of his supporters wanted when he agreed to a generous daca deal for Border Security and democrats walked away from it. No. Because they dont like Border Security or because they didnt want to give trump a victory on daca. Charlie, that is not the case the democrats are more than willing to give president Border Security for daca. It was a 25 billion dollars deal. The president walked away from that deal. General kelly called senator schumer to retract that deal. Charlie, final word. I am running out of time. President trump made that offer. Democrats walked away from it. Thats how the offer ended. Well, we will see what happens. Dems take control of the house tomorrow and another meeting will happen on friday. Up next the illegal mexican immigrant accused of killing a California Police officer in court for the first time today. An update next. [crying]. I would like to thank you working day and night to make this happen. I cant tell you who i am or what i witnessed, but i can tell you Liberty Mutual customized my Car Insurance so i only pay for what i need. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Only pay for what you need.

The suspect said his real name is mendoza but he is being charged as Gustavo Perez arriaga. The 33yearold gang member did not enter a plea because his lawyers are arguing he is not competent to stand trial. He was captured on friday in bakersfield california after a 55hour manhunt. He was trying to flee back to mexico. He is accused of shooting and killing Police Officer ron singh the day after christmas. Officer singh stopped the man under the suspicion of driving under the influence. He was arrested for dui and in most cases i. C. E. Would have been notified of his illegal status but under california sanctuary laws they are prohibited from communicating with agents. Today President Trump weighed in. Like the killing that took place a few days ago. The young Police Officer. A great young, beautiful person. Great family. Just took a picture with his son and his wife for christmas. A few hours later he was shot and killed by somebody that came across the border. Others here illegally were charged with helping him evade capture. The charges are not serious enough to allow the Sheriff Deputies to notify i. C. E. If they are released from jail. The governor has no interest in reviewing the sanctuary laws. Prosecutors havent decided with Gustavo Perez arriaga will face the death penalty. Thank you. A fox news alert. Mitch mcconnell is speaking right now on the senate floor after that situation room leader. Lets listen if we can. All three of those things are needed to make a law. One partisan vote in the house tomorrow wont solve anything. I made it clear to the speaker we are not interested in having show boats here in the senate. We are interested in bringing up something 60 senators will support and the president will sign. In other words, make a law. The legislation and House Democrats are reportedly planning to introduce and be voted on tomorrow would not be a serious contribution to the negotiations that are going on between the administration and the in coming democratic majority in the house. Its not comp sensitive. Comprehensive. It ignores the need of Border Security. Its what you would expect if the democrats were going to stage a sideshow rather than doing the hard work of governing the country. Nerd, a in other words a total nonstarter. They will make laws or waste time on showboating that will do nothing . Thats the question. Political performance or responsible governance. We will get a signal in the next few days. Let me make it perfectly clear one more time as i said for the last two weeks, the senate will not waste its time considering a democratic bill that cant pass this chamber and which the president will not sign. Another matter i am pleaseed to announce that the democratic leader and i reached an agreement to confirm a number of the administrations nominees. That was Mitch Mcconnell on the senate floor. Almost 11 30 p. M. Eastern. We are now looking at what will be a divided government as of tomorrow morning. Nancy pelosi and democrats will take control of the house. They are still at a standoff over Border Security and government shutdown. Up next, President Trump fires back at in coming senator mitt romney who is not on the job yet but taking swipes at the commanderinchief. Bill bennett called that selfserving. He is up next to explain. Nick, nick, we need a decision. These days we all feel a little anxious sometimes. But if you could see inside my mind; youll find i go to my happy place.

President trump responding to a scathing opinion piece from senator mitt romney who rights that the president hasnt risen to the mantle of the office. Romney not backing down and talking to cnn to defend his criticism of the president. Well, after he was elected president , it was my hope he would rise to the occasion and rise to the mantle of the office. Becoming president of the United States is quite an elevation for anybody. While that was my hope, i dont think hes followed through on that front the way he followed through on some of his are the promises. Bill bennett hosts the pod cast and former education secretary under president reagan and a fox news contributor. What did you make first of the actual criticism that mitt romney heaped on the president . I thought it was a shame, and it was an unnecessary shame. Shame on mitt romney for doing it. I supported mitt romney in 2012. But his record now of returning good gestures by the president with this ingratitude and worse is really an embarrassment. He will never be president. If he runs for president , he will never succeed. I dont understand the timing. The man is not even sworn in yet. Lets recall the facts mitt romney sought the endorsement of donald trump. He got that endorsement. In march 2016, romney gave the speech about candidate trump saying he was a fraud. He was a phoney and that his promises were worth nothing. The president was elected and forgave him. Took him to dinner and invited him to the golf club and talked possibly about a cabinet position. That did not work out. Now romney returns it with this. When romney was running for senate in utah a few months ago, he didnt bring up these criticisms and the president endorsed him. Thats how he repays the kindness of the president. I wonder if Mitch Mcconnell when he said showboat or show horse opposed to work horse was thinking of mitt romney. Romney just spoke to another Television Network and he was asked about his 2020 ambitions. He was endorsing me. I was not endorsing him. I have not decided who i will endorse in 2020. So you are not on board. The senior senator from utah said he will endorse the president. Its too early to make that decision. I want to see the alternatives. And the gop woman tweeted out about the president being attacked. She said for a freshman senator to attack the president as their first act feeds into what the democrats and media wants and is unproductive. And mcdaniel is the niece of mitt romney. When he was asked about that. He said she is head of the republican party. You expect that. When team are you on, senator romney . Didnt you run as a republican . The president has a point here. He said that if he ran as hard and pushed as hard against barack obama in the campaign as he is doing against donald trump, he might have won. Thats entirely true. Has mitt romney played team sports . Does he understand about the situation his republican colleague donald trump is in now . Challenges by the democrats. The constant challenge of the media. By the way, you said he didnt back down. He went on cnn. Thats courageous to go on cnn to criticize the president. That takes a real man to do that. [laughing]. Join the choir. Just exactly what is in his head . We have a critical situation at the border. This is the time for people to rally. Did the president make mistakes . Yes, and so do you, mr. Romney. We looked past them to support you. Rand paul held a Conference Call with the press anded attack the policies and dont attack the president on a personal level. Thank you very much, bill. Great to see you tonight. Thank you. Up next the bizarre story of a former u. S. Marine who traveled to russia for a wedding and now is being held in the country over espionage allegations. What the Trump Administration is doing to intervene. Next turn up your swagger game with one a day gummies. One serving. Once a day. With nutrients that support 6 vital functions. And one healthy you. Thats the power of one a day. New details tonight about a michigan man held in russia at this hour over spying allegations. We have learned american citizen and u. S. Marine corp veteran paul whelan visited the country twice since 2007. He also spent 2 weeks of military leave in moscow and st. Petersburg. Tonight President Trumps u. S. Ambassador to russia is stepping and paying a of the to paul whelan in a russian prison. Paul whelan was in moscow to attend a wedding when he disappeared. He was given a bad conduct discharge and has been working in corporate security. The Russian Service announced his arrest saying he was caught during an espionage operation. Russian spying charges carry prison sentences of up to 20 years. Mike pompeo said they were searching for more answers. We made clear to the russians our expectations and we demand his immediate return. The russian government granted u. S. Official access to whelan. The ambassador went to see him in the detention facility. Whelans arrest came just months after the arrest of a woman. U. S. And russian relations have deteriorated over recent years. The poisoning of a former russian spy. President putin said russia would never arrest an innocent person to exchange him for someone else. Experts say thats what happened. Judith miller a fox news contributor. What a story. The u. S. Now searches for answers. Yes, even secretary of state mike pompeo was cautious today addressing this issue. He said that if the russian charges were untrue, we would immediately demand his release. But he did not say that paul whelan was an innocent man. Everything points to a retribution, an action that was taken by the russian government. It had to be at a very senior level. In retribution for maria acknowledgement that he was spying for russian. From ann arbor, michigan, his family say these charges are baseless. His brother describes him as kind and generous with his time and a funny person. What happens next . That depends on what we determine about whether or not mr. Whelan was working for an agency of some kind. Its unlikely he was working for the cia given his bad conduct discharge. There are other intelligence agencies. The u. S. Government will determine whether or not he was on a contract for someone. But whether or not he was, there will immediately be negotiations to get his release. What putin may be trying to do is signal to President Trump that if donald trump wants good relations with russia, this has to stop. Thats unfortunate because donald trump is not wrong in seeking to work with the russians where we can work with the russians. Vladimir putin has been so aggressive in the area and towards the ukraine, that its very hard to work with him. If he approved the arrest of an innocent man, thats a serious issue. His family is deeply concerned with his safety. We will see what answers they get. Thank you. The u. S. Army is revamping the recruiting tragedy. We talk to the Deputy Commanding general of operations next. Before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn, marie could only imagine enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice. Now no fruit is forbidden. Nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for allday, allnight protection. Can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn . For allday, allnight protection. Saved an average of 412, syou probably wont believe me. But you can believe this, real esurance employee nancy abraham. Look her up online. Esurance, its surprisingly painless. The United States army is revamping its recruitment effort after falling thousands short of 2018 goals. They returning to liberal leaning cities to fill the ranks. The head of the army command said we want to go into boston, pittsburgh, kansas city, these are places with a large number of youth who just dont know what the military is about. Here now is the number 2 in charge of armys recruiting all over the world. Brigadier general, a pleasure and honor to have you on this evening. This is a fascinating story. One that not many of us are familiar with. What sort of challenges do you face right now . Well, we are facing quite a few challenges. First of all, we understand that this is a big mission that the army asked the recruiting command to do. We will do it. We do have some challenges with regards to how our youth are understanding the army and what the army has to offer. Its an awareness issue for one. There is a lot of youth that just dont know really know what is the army is all about. An awareness issue is one. The second thing is we have a challenge with finding quality in some cases. Most youth have medical challenges that may prevent them from joining the military as well as other challenges, physical challenges that prevent them from joining the military. But we know there is a quality market and we will do everything to tap into that for the young 17 to 24yearold young men and women that want to join the military. Its our future. Sorry to interrupt you. Why these liberal leaning cities . Do they have a larger number of youth . What plays into your strategy there . Well, we recruit in every city across the United States and overseas as well. Its not necessarily a select 22 cities specifically. We are going into markets those 22, they are high propensity for quality applicants who want to join the military and the army. We will go into those cities and have a higher presence of military. If you looked demographically, we recruit well in the south. Most of those cities are tied to military installations. In the 22 cities we know we can do better and go after the quality that exists there. The military got a pay race. Raise. Will that help with recruitment . Any raise will help folks understand we are keeping up with the pay increases and rates across america. I think it makes us comparable to other jobs and occupations that exist. When you go into these cities what is the pitch for those who might not know much about the army . Well, first they have to see people that look like them. That resonates with them. When they see our recruiters in uniform, thats an awareness issue. Thats a point that allows them to understand that hey, i can be just like this person in uniform. Then they get to see the talent of our recruiters and our army. We have talented individuals that are recruiting. Some of who have degrees, a bachelors or masters degree. It resonates with young kids. I am wearing the uniform and defending my country and i have an education and doing well and i can make a difference in my life and have a great career. You are making a difference in all of our lives. Thanks for your continued service and everything you are doing for us. Thank you very much. Still ahead. Kanye west and President Trump.

Sandra President Trump responding to some praise from rapper kanye west who appears to be reaffirming his support for the president months after distancing himself from politics. Kanye tweeting on new years day trump all day adding from now on im performing with my mother bleeping hat on a reference to his make America Great again hat. Here is Richard Fowler and kimberly. Kimberly, i will start with you first. The president responding to kanyes words today seems to be embracing the support of kanye west. I dont think they ever had a falling out. I think honestly kanye west was trying to remove himself from a movement that he wasnt really a part of. Kanye west is unpredictable just like the president is he unpredictable. They move to the own beat of their drum. He was kind of getting mixed in there with another movement thats going on. I dont think he is really a part of that he supports democrats. He supports those that are black democrats. I think he just really wants to support the black community and i think that was getting lost before so now he is reaffirming that he is a trump supporter. Sandra what do you think, richard . Heres the thing i think he does support President Trump. When it comes to the issues the white house meeting a couple months ago the president and donald trump seem to be completely unaligned. Case in point when kanye talked about fixing the 13th amendment which says if you are in prison that you lose your rights and kanye says we need to get rid of that i dont think the president has any plans of getting rid of that any time soon. He asked the president to pardon harry hoover one of the gangsters. I dont see the president with pardon pen out. He might like the president when it comes to policy him and the president are 50 degrees apart. I dont think thats true. Facts are the facts. You sound a little bitter there. Not at all. President trump is doing more than president obama. I remember president obama not even supporting School Vouchers as his kids went to private school which would help the black community. Is he helping with black unemployment. He is helping with sbcu, Farm Community the yo urban revital labor relation coalition going on. He sees what he is doing and more than obama attempted to do. San san richard, how is he doing with the black community . How would richard really know . Im africanamerican. Sandra im not sure what that meant. Neither am i lets talk about this. The president toasted the black unemployment rate. Is he not dealing with the real issues facing the Africanamerican Community number one, being the alarming infant mortality rate or number of black women who die at childbirth. These are issues facing the community. Sandra would you be willing, richard, to give the president credit where he attempts to take credit for the lowering of the black unemployment level in this country. I have. But to say that the president did it all on his own thats irresponsible. Remember, the economy when president obama got it was in the hole. And what president obama did was he stabilized it and President Trump is benefiting from that. But, once again, this segment is about kanye west and his policies and the president s policies are unaligned. Sandra kimberly . I work in Baltimore City and the Community Every single day. There are a lot of people who actually support President Trump who are just afraid to say it i think kanye west is making sure people know its okay to be a freethinker and support our president. When everybody supported barack obama that was fine. Its okay to support your president. This your country and thats who you should support. Sandra perhaps we should come together on one note. Kim and kanye are pregnant with fourth child today. They are expecting another baby. Congrats to them. Yes. Sandra certainly a conversation that will continue and kanye west is clearly showing that he wants to stay somehow in the political sphere and certainly is he doing that by supporting the president at this moment. Thanks to both of you. Richard fowler and Kimberly Clay sick. Good to see you. Thank you. Sandra happy new year happy new year. Great to see you all here tonight. I will see you bright and early tomorrow morning 9 00 a. M. Americas newsroom from 9 00 to noon. Martha returns tomorrow night. Until then, Tucker Carlson is up next. Tucker good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight. Happy new year, newly elected utah senator mitt romney kicked off 2019 with an oped in the the Washington Post that savaged Donald Trumps character and leadership. Romneys attack and trumps response this morning on twitter are the latest salvos in the long standing personal feud between the two men. Its even possible that romney is planning to challenge trump for the republican nomination in 2020. Well see. But, for now, romneys piece is fascinating on its own terms. And wellworth reading. Its a window how the people in charge in both parties see our country. Romneys main complaint in the piece is
