towards that area. griff? ed: we will be getting back to you. it s interesting. because obviously the border issue is playing out. huge battle in washington. remember, nancy pelosi had said just over a week ago mr. president reopen the government and we will negotiate. and i was covering it in the middle of this week back in washington the democrats on that bipartisan conference committee put together to get some border security money saying everything is on the table. we want to get a compromise. money for a barrier if not a wall. and nancy pelosi comes out 24 hours later and says nothing. you will get no money at all. so you have got to wonder if they tried to pull a fast one on the president and that s why he may go for a state of emergency to just build the wall on his own. the democrats promised him they would negotiate and it certainly doesn t look like they are. emily: they are not. the 17 newly acquired attorneys at the white house are working diligently on that basically as an
incentive to give him funds for a border wall? i don t see an incentive for the border wall he invisions. i think it s great to show they want to put border security money into the budget. to put an appropriation for the border wall that pelosi has called immoral, no. especially when he is floating the idea he be do this other off ramp and doesn t seem inclined at all. how were the hard liners among others going to react if he goes ahead and declares a national emergency? here enlies the biggest push. they will not settle for anything less. she said if he doesn t get the wall she will help try to primary trump. there are republicans that agree that also want the wall but as
y all were saying don t want this executive power. i think this is the president s best out here. so she calls national emergency. it gets caught up. they are holding this up. democrats put out a list of all of the border security money they want to put in which, you know, which includes more judges, a port of entry, technology, all kinds of stuff. it adds up to an awful lot of money. i don t know if it is but it adds up to a lot of money. everybody stantd by. there is more breaking news right after this. th my podiatri. how s wednesday at 2? i can t. dog agility.
protections in exchange for the democrat s funding his border earlier this month. it was something like three years or so of protections for daca recipients, but no path to citizenship at the time, which the a lot of democrats were not happy about either way. it seems as if, that the shutdown as we know is very much on pause, at least for three weeks or so who knows what will happen now. thank god. thank god for now. but it seems like daca is out of the picture and the democrats don t want to discuss daca in exchange for border wall funding. why is that? they view president trump as an unreliable negotiator. this daca deal has been in the offing for the last year or so. but trump has really never followed up and shown that he was serious about actually doing this. and so, democrats are trying to limit it to a very narrow deal to extend government funding and provide some border security
that, such as a bill i have that would seek to reform the bail system in the united states and ultimately get rid of the cash bail system, understanding that is disproportionately applied in a way that causes people who do not have $20,000 in their back pocket to have to sit in jail for what could be weeks, months and years awaiting trial versus the people who have money get out while they re awaiting trial. but i appreciate your point. it is a flawed system, deeply flawed, and we have got to reform it, and everyone has to be onboard. and we can t accept false choices because i think we all realize it s a deeply flawed system, but we also want to make sure that when a woman is raped, a child is molestation, one human being is killed by another human being, we also want to make sure there s going to be consequence and serious consequence for those crimes. so i appreciate your question. and riley s question, i m sure you ve been hearing this too, this is a criticism we re hearing of yo
