This is demand to fund a portable are not meant. And thats what he says he will do. Lets go out numbered over time, im Harris Faulkner. A fiery president at a rally in pennsylvania last night saying shut down could be in the cards of his demands on Border Security are not met. Adding that he would prefer that to happen before the Midterm Election not after. We started the wall 1. 6 million, we are fixing walls all over the border, and we are going to start to get very nasty over the wall. The democrats, anything i want, that even the republicans. I dont know if they care about the republicans, they care about me. Theyre very concerned. Interviews with newsmakers and roundtable discussions cover the top news stories of the day.
