kids, we re willing to take a major stand to help them. now he is saying if departments refuse to fund the border, then we should shut down. that means you re saying that capitol hill is treating the president like she a political pun pun pundent thatlies in the white house. you remember that entire public meeting back and forth across the table. everyone thought they had a deal and then it fell apart. it is very hard to figure out what is real any more up here. kacie hunt, trying her best to figure it out. just to clarify, any shut down would be thursday night at midnight, not tomorrow.
all. again, it s just not clear how all of this gets resolved. there are several groups now negotiating. senator durbin s group says we ve got techs we re going to rethis week. question remains, will democrats refuse to fund government if there s no deal on this? chris. kacie hunt as always honing in on the key question here. now, the washington post today has new details about that meeting. and let me read part of what they wrote. trump was not particularly upset by the coverage of meeting and his vulgarity. after it was first reported by the washington post. calling friends and asking how they expected it to play with his political supporters. attendees who were alarmed by the racial undertones of trump s re, blass further disturbed when the topic of the congressional black caucus came up. trump was dismissive. saying he was not making immigration policy to cater to the cbc. joining me, peter baker, chief white house correspondent for
no. does it end without any effort to secure the border? no. so it s not going to end poorly, it s going to end well. let me tell you why it well. 80% of the people would like to see these kids have a better life. 80% of the people like to begin to fix a broken immigration system. they re going to demand we do better. what we need to do better is a reliable partner at the white house. somebody like the president who showed up on tuesday. we cannot do this with people who have an irrational view of immigration. is steven milnler in that category, sir? kacie hunt is i know if you can hear me, just to quickly wrap this up, obviously we know what happened because there s been a lot of reporting. steven miller and all the others
hard-working country. the apology, i don t remember a specific word. what i was struck with is just the general profanity that was used in the room by almost everyone did you hear me use profanity? no, sir, neither did i. did you hear senator graham use profanity? i did hear tough language from senator graham, yes, sir. do you recall the strong language he used repeated what he heard the president say prior to that? i remember specific cuss words being used by a variety of members. kacie hunt is on capitol hill where she has been following this. wow, kacie, i mean, i ve rarely seen a hearing like this. there was drama. there was emotion. cory booker, i mean, he has a very dramatic moment. tell us a little bit more about what secretary nielsen had to say. essentially, chris, i think
