future. the democrats will be apart of that coming out and some republicans also. both. congressman de dent, we se t certainly don t hear of mexico paying for that wall. the president and his budget request for fiscal year 19 requested $1.6 billion for barriers. he wants $5.7 billion well, why didn t he put it in his budget request? he could have had $5.7 billion when republicans controlled the house. it is beyond me. this whole shutdown was a harmful gesture, made no sense and they got a worse deal. the number of beds, that s the
of really grandiose. he s getting funding for some border security which is something that the democrats care about, there is additional funding in there for technology to help, to help secure the border. what the democrats got in return for that is a reduce number of beds for i.c.e. senator santorum, can the president continue to blame democrats for not getting full funding for the wall considering the deal is signed off by republicans as well? it is a compromise that he s been public and he does not like and he thinks that he should have done better and republicans should have done better. this is a president that s not shy of blaming democrats and calling out republicans for being weak and not standing with him as tough as he likes. again, the president is going to charge his own bath or political
wanted was $5 billion for a wall. what he got was a little ov over like a fraction of that basically to build a fence, that s not the same thing as him as the democrats giving him something. it is actually giving him something that they agree with. the republicans have spent a lot of time casting the democrats as people who don t care about border security when in fact they have supported this security in the past and they supported it now. with the president s promise was to build al wall that frankly costs more than $5 million. in order to build the entire wall, we would be talking about $15 billion or $20 billion. we got to leave it there. congressman dent and kirsten powers and senator santorum. thank you very much. the collusion, he has seen no evidence between the trump campaign and the russians. top members said no so fast.
senate ersan to ror santorum agree with senator dent? that s certainly in the realm of possibility for the president simply to say that there is an emergency and these funds are available. you go a different path. kirsten, if the president does go along with this deal, it is still not i guess he can say it is a wall but it is a barrier fencing that has been always been used, different times perhaps. i actually nancy pelosi is correct. there is going to be no construction of a wall. when he talked about a wall, he was talking about something much grandiose than fencing. you know he referred to the great wall of china, this is what he s envisioning, something
for dhs. let s say it prevails this negotiation and they put a bill with zero money for the wall, some low number. how does he sign that? he cannot in good faith sign that. there is no indication there will be zero money. it will be for border fencing. it does look like the shutdown is a possibility. yeah. i think it s outrageous. the fact that our government isn t able to function without, you know, having these sort of back and forth between these ideas of shutdowns is highly problematic. i think it s important to remember how the shutdown happened though, the last shutdown which is that president trump was willing to give on the issue of the wall. i don t think it s a hard presds
