means. >> speaker pelosi herself called the president's down payment not reasonable, adding i don't think he knows what he wants. a senior democratic aide telling cnn the idea that he has leverage

southern border of texas, take it from the farmers and ranchers that were there, and have the mexicans pay for it, isn't true. that's why we're here. because he's now saying the taxpayers have to pay

the commerce secretary's remarks. >> perhaps he should have said it differently. local people know who they are, where they go for groceries and everything else. and i think wilbur was probably trying to say that they will work along. >> so here is the message from the white house. not a lot of empathy except when it is the cleanup of the original comments. and we've seen this for more than a week now. the president seems to think that local grocery stores are going to cut a break to people who they know are federal workers. you know, maybe the local stores are having trouble because they are not -- i just think it shows a lack of understanding about how so many people live paycheck to paycheck in this country. >> the president was very proud about the c cabinet. it is not to say that rich people don't have empathy, but these cabinet members have shown an inability to understand the pain. >> it wasn't that long ago when president signed an order freezing pay for federal workers. >> no

u.s., but some others who may entertain these ideas from this type of action. the resort to military power would be catastrophic. >> reporter: also yesterday a phone call between vladimir putin and

trump and the russians. i certainly did that as well. here is what the deputy foreign minister said. >> there are even some questioning whether president trump is an agent of russia. what do you make
