nor have i seen that anecdote that the president just addressed to us about birth control being given to women who are attempting to come across the border. obviously, that would be concerning to just about anybody, that listened to the president just moments ago. but this is something i haven t seen in any kind of reporting so far. arthel: well, back to the point at hand, let s see if in fact president trump has extended enough of an olive branch to get those folks in congress back to the bargaining table and get the government to reopen. john decker, fox news radio white house correspondent, thank you very much. thanks a lot, arthel. eric: one of the main points of the president s proposal we just heard dealing with a three-year extension of daca, that s for the 700,000 dreamers as well as a 300,000 for the tps, the temporary protective service workers as well as those with kids brought under 16 years old, as well as millions for humanitarian aid and other
nearly 250 migrants were taken into custody after turning themselves into authorities at a point of entry. investigators say the group had been smuggled into the u.s. and was made up of mostly people, again, from central america including many families with small children. now, here in california, at the san diego sector, in total, border patrol says so far it s made 2600 arrests related to that migrant caravan. arthel? arthel: jeff paul in los angeles, thanks, jeff. eric: special counsel robert mueller s team disputing buzzfeed s recent controversial article calling that reporting not accurate. the report claims that president trump ordered his former attorney michael cohen to lie to congress about the pursuit of the trump tower project in moscow. it cited two anonymous federal law enforcement sources for that. buzzfeed is still defending it saying in the last hour by the way quote we have confirmed we have reconfirmed, they said,
thousands of immigrants who reside in countries deemed too dangerous to return. homeland security can offer stays ranging from 6 to 18 months with extensions. now, the latest government figures show 437,000 people from ten countries are in the program including from el salvador, nicaragua and guatemala. joining me now is john decker, the white house correspondent for fox news radio, also attorney and you know we re waiting for the big man to speak. when that happens, we re going to have to jump to that and cut you off. absolutely. arthel: i am sure you don t mind. there s a look there at the diplomatic room where we re expecting the president to take the podium at any moment and address the nation. meanwhile, john, is the president s offer that we have been reporting on, that we re expecting him to announce, is that one that democrats can afford to turn down? can they afford to turn it down? their belief is right now they can. they feel that their base is fully behind what they hav
fix is only temporary, and he needs to reopen the government first. is this a first step, or a step backwards? i do think it s an important first step. and frankly, i think they would have served themselves better to hold off a little bit. i know a lot of those statements came out as prebuttals. couple of things, number one, for the first time really since this entire wall shutdown conversation started, you actually saw the president both with this speech and the earlier naturalization ceremony in the oval that was very well done, really take control of the messaging, number one. number two, i think the fact that the president referenced leader mcconnell and his desire and willingness to move something in the senate shows you based on the reporting about conversations that leader mcconnell had with the president that he s definitely involved in driving this, which i think is productive. i don t necessarily think in hearing the president s statement, i certainly didn t expect the demo
so i appreciate you taking the time to talk to us, and even more so that you take the time to talk to those tsa workers when you go through the airport. thank you, sir. thank you for having me. eric: that s a great idea. have a little patience, take a deep breath if you re flying and thank the tsa workers who are still on duty themselves making our flying safer. there s much more ahead in fox report in the next hour. buzzfeed still standing by the controversial claim that michael cohen told congress that the president told him to lie before that body, but robert mueller s team says that report is not accurate. what will be the fallout of that reporting that buzzfeed still stands by? me here, babe. ok. nasty nightime heartburn? try alka-seltzer pm gummies. the only fast, powerful heartburn relief, plus melatonin so you can fall asleep quickly. oh, what a relief it is!
