democrats fault. i accepted the first one and i m proud of what we ve accomplished, because people learned during that shutdown all about the problems coming in from the southern border. i accept that, i ve always accepted it. but this one i would never accept if it happens, but i don t think it s going to happen. this would be totally the democrats. okay? did you send back the associated compromise even if you accepted it. i hope there won t be a shutdown. i am extremely unhappy with what the democrats have given us. it s sad. they are doing our country no favors. they are hurting our country very badly. but we certainly don t want to see a shutdown. you ll be hearing fairly soon. the bottom line is on the wall, we re building another wall. we re using methods.
the compromise is not even. in order to reach an agreement, our democratic colleagues would have to walk away from two extreme positions that had been dictated to them presumably by the far left. fortunately, our democratic colleagues did abandon those unreasonable positions. but those who talked and tweelt tweeted the president into the shutdown last time are unhappy again. this so-called compromise, i m getting details. 1.3 billion? that s not even a wall, a barrier? i m going to tell this tonight and we ll get back into this tomorrow. any republican that supports this garbage compromise, you ll have to explain. cnn s abby phillip live at the white house. abby, the president is in this meeting. is he going to accept the hannity it s garbage or the mick mulvaney it s reasonable.
shutdown. they re trying to confuse not only us but his hardliners. when we were listening to that, ann coulter, who managed to squander a deal before, said trump was afraid to fight. it s become clear that trump was afraid to fight for the wall. that s not an endorsement. is that who he s going to listen to? and last night he tried to spin the whole shutdown thing as a way that he was able to spotlight what he calls the crisis at the border recall, hopefully the people who don t get a paycheck. you can hear him when he didn t get what he wanted. the reason he s being a little cagey on this is he doesn t want
what this means for vote counts and what this means for whether or not he s actually going to veto something, it makes people throw up their hands right now. one of the interesting things here is whether you re a fan of john kelly or not a fan of john kelly, some people thought, perhaps mistakenly, when mick mulvaney became chief of staff, former house member, that this part would run more smoothly. no. clearly they didn t know a lot about mick mulvaney s record as a congressman. because he was someone who was very pro shutdown. he was kind of in the freedom caucus mold. so that doesn t really square with who he is. and just on this weekend he said another shutdown wasn t off the table. he s not really on the side of keeping things moving in the federal government. we commented during the break that the president looked mad,
going? i m thrilled. because we re supplementing things and moving things around and we re doing things that are fantastic, and taking from far less areas. the bottom line is we re building a wall. you think it s easy? we re building in the face of tremendous obstruction and tremendous opposition from a small group of people. one thing could happen that i think was very revealing. we had the biggest and best border agents and experts come up and see the committee. and they said, more than anything else, you need a barrier, you need a wall. and the recommendation was unacceptable to the committee. so that tells you more than anything else. are we going to see a shutdown? i don t think you ll see a shutdown. if you did have it, it s the
