the one thing from the daily caller interview that surprised me was trump seemingly saying he s going to let this investigation continue. he s not going to interfere. to me that showed uncharacteristic restraint since trump generally doesn t miss an opportunity to take a punch when one presents itself. interesting. we should note the president is now five days without a public schedule. he s made a bunch of statements online. jonathan martin, there is one that s interesting to me. i feel as if kellyanne conway may want to see it. the president says, let s just call them walls from now on and stop playing political games. a wall is a wall. now there is a bipartisan group of members of congress trying to negotiate a deal to move forward on border security. the president worked so hard and kellyanne conway worked hard to stop calling it a wall. call it a barrier, steel slats, but not a wall. this morning the president is like, never mind.
end up homeless. how long will the government be shut down if trump doesn t get what he wants? this is the real human element that we are risking going into again. yeah. going into another shut down there is recognition that thousands were forced to work without pay. it wasn t a vacation. it wasn t a fun low where you could go play. your credit score may have taken a hit. i don t think trump can go into this because it will hurt him. he doesn t have the backing from republicans. when he says i will take slats, a fence, chicken wire, i think he will he calls it steel slats. everybody stick around.
disservice. i think former speaker boehner may be recalling the 2013 shutdown which he was lead into from the freedom caucus and his own party. members who want to compromise to different sides. compromise has become quite a dirty word in washington and dirty word in congress. hopefully they will come to an agreement. they will have to figure out a way to name border security, something different. i don t know if they will do that my bet is on another continuing resolution which would mean a clean bill that keeps the government open. i don t think they want to do that again. democrats said they are willing to do some sort of barrier. they said call it a ball. call it steel slats.
and favorability here, nancy pelosi seems to be the fly in the ointment, she what i give a dollar for the wall, many in her own caucus, kevin mccarthy, said they are willing to back border security funding and this has come down significantly in terms of what he is asking for money wise, $5.7 billion, not talking about concrete wall anymore, talking about a barrier, steel slats. there is room for negotiation. he put everything on the table, nancy pelosi received it back to the table and showing up for that to continue. heather: great to have you with us. the time is 20 minutes after the top of the hour, the state department with a new travel warning for venezuela as the country s opposition leader says it is time to end the country s nightmare. crucial in the short term. democracy for the region is crucial. this is clear to donald trump.
had been thinking of alternate sites of the speech. he could have delivered his speech trying to decline it. we don t use the wall necessarily but it has to be something special to do the job. steel slats. or instead of looking out a sea of supporters, an ocean of hats. they all love me. one thing that definitely didn t help the president, his commerce secretary questioning why desperate federal workers were going to food banks. i don t really quite understand why. maybe it was tough to understand from ross s point of view. imagine finding out you re a triplet later in your life. that s the subject of a fascinating film. when i tell people my story
