Budge, he shouldnt give in because of the people that voted for him, the people that voted for him the majority of the people in this nation understand that we need to be sovereign. We need a ball and this is the chance to get it done. We already have sections of the border with walls. Gangs go over them, they tunnel underneath, they go around. Drugs actually come right through the checkpoints. I want to hear from dhs and the people who are actually on the ground. Above all, weve got to open the government, leland. Youve got to open the government paid thats with the American People want. Laura live in washington with more on this. Hi, kristen. Hey, lori. Its day 11 of this partial Government Shutdown. It appears we are no close to a compromise. Democrats are refusing to fund the president s border wall and the president is continuing to say that he wont sign off on any deal to reopen the government without wall funding. They put out their plan to open the government, and they intend to vote for it on thursday as soon as it to control the house. The plan calls for one year of funding for six of the seven agencies affected by this partial Government Shutdown, and funding through february 8th. For the department of Homeland Security. That includes 1. 3 billion for Border Security, but not for awol. Neither President Trump nor Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell have directly weighed in on the democrat proposal, but it is very unlikely that either would support it. Because Lindsey Graham, who had lunch with the present a few days ago, said no wall funding is a nonstarter for him. They said the senate would not vote on the bill to open the government to lose 100 certain of the present will sign it. Senator schumer says on twitter it would be the height of irresponsibility and political cynicism for Senate Republicans to now reject the same legislation they supported two weeks ago. He is referring to a shortterm spending bill that passed the senate by a vote. Bottom line, at some point, for the government to reopen, one side is going to have to give. But which side is that going to be . Its still very uncertain. Laura . Laura Kristin Fisher for us life. Happy new year to you. It will be a busy one for your team down there in washington. See you soon. Blake meanwhile, President Trump standing his ground sing he wont sign the bill that doesnt have new money for Border Security. Democrats have been out of town, but hes been at the white house waiting to make a deal. Im in washington, ready, willing, and able. Im in the white house, im ready to go. They can come over right now. They could have come over anytime. I spent christmas in the white house. I spent new years eve now in the white house. Im here. Im ready to go. Its very important. A lot of people are looking to get their paycheck. Im ready to go anytime they want. Blake kevin corke is live at the white house with the very latest. Happy new year, bud. Happy new year, buddy. This shut down its like needing to shovel the walk when its been snowing a outside. You could wait for it to warm up, but thats not an effective strategy. This effectively with the white house is telling democrats. You can try and wait out the president did see if he can give up on the 5 billion request for funding for the border wall, but thats not a smart strategy either because is not going to budge. Im going to take you to twitter and unpack that a bit with one of the president s many tweets today, blake. He said this. The democrats, much as i suspected, have allocated no money for a new wall. So imagine it the problem is, without a while there can be no real Border Security. And our country must finally have a strong and secure southern border yesterday, the president was here at the white house and the oval office, working to find a way for the white house and lawmakers on capitol hill to end the impasse which of course is affecting thousands of americans. As you can probably imagine, they are bringing to feel the pinch of not being paid at leasr the time being. Those workers will eventually get paid once a sugar that is over. That said, the president s Standing Firm and he wants the American People to know why. We need, however, borders. You dont have borders, you dont have a country. We dont want drug traffickers or human traffickers or illegal people with criminal records to come in. Our Border Patrol, our i. C. E. Agents, our military we have done great. But you can never do it perfectly unless you have a wall. So we have to have a wall as part of Border Security. We are working on it. The president taking his message thereby video on twitter. Meanwhile on capitol hill, the democrats say, as Kristin Fisher pointed out, they are said to take over the house this week. They are already proposing funding to end the shutdown, but the white houses remaining steadfast in its insistence, blake, that no matter what makes its way to the president s desk, a better include money for the border wall or new deal. He had this week, as well. I should just share this while we have a second. The democrats would probably submit a bill, being cute as always, but gives everything away that nothing for Border Security prenamely the wall. You see, without the wall there can be no Border Security. The tag stuff is just, by comparison, meaningless bells and whistles. We dont expect to see the president today, blake. But he can be unpredictable as you know from your time hear each and every day next may. Im holding a list for where youre over there in the studio but have a good day. I will see you tomorrow prelive in the white house. Laura . Laura for more on all this, go to college in tort, contributor for expected usa. I was rude to have you on the program. Happy new year to you. Its all in the year with all the drum of december with the partial Government Shutdown. We will ask you what you think. We have the news now there is word that House Democrats plan to advance a package of six appropriation bills this week for the rest of the fiscal year. It seems like we are going to be going for it right away. Yes, so much for fresh starts, right, laura . We are seeing more of the same. Its a bit of a clever gambit that the democrats are doing with this. So far they have been blaming President Trump for the shutdow shutdown. With some support he did have that famous meeting with Chuck Schumer in nancy pelosi, in which he said he would be proud to shut down the government over the wall. I think what they are trying to do with this is addon the entire Republican Party by splitting up the spending bills and getting all the government if they pass back to work. Except for the department of Homeland Security, which is the department that would include the portable. By doing that, they are saying to republicans put up or shut up. I think they are trying to get the blame not just to trump but to republicans as a whole. Its interesting strategy. I think they are thinking of the 2020 elections when they are doing it. Will it work . I dont know. The republicans actually did unanimously in the Senate Support pretty much with the democrats have put on the table. Or said they will put on the table when they get back in power in the house on thursday. Laura right pair i want to get your reaction to this joint Statement Released yesterday on new years eve by democratic presumptive house leader nancy pelosi and Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer. It reads, if leader mcconnell and send it republicans refuse to support the first bill, they are complicit with President Trump in continuing the trump shut down. And, in holding the health and safety of the American People and workers paychecks hostage over the wall. Hostage is a strong word. Under mcconnell, they wont pass legislation without support of the president , who has come of course, doesnt seem to be willing to budge on the issue. How can work out . Laura everybody is in a very difficult position right now. The president , Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats everybody. The democrats have a point. This is something that republicans did vote for at one point, changing their mind. A lot of his base, conservative base, want to the wall. He did mention that in every campaign rally. I would say, is saying they are complicit by not voting for the first bill they put up in the spirit of a new year, maybe have a resolution to work a little more together. Negotiate a little bit more. Would that be great . [laughter] republicans have come down. Their first demand was 5. 7 billion for a wall. They brought it down to 2. 5 billion. Now they are asking for just over 2 billion. The democrats havent really moved from their 1. 3 million billion dollars for Border Security without the ball. Republicans, despite the fact that they do sort of own this shut down in a way after President Trumps comments, they have been willing to move, to compromise. Democrats havent. I think part of it is because they think that donald trump owns the shut down. So they dont think they need to move. I think the American People would like to see more negotiation and more compromise here in the swamp, as they like to call it. Laura overall, how do you see the talks questioning things are getting dicey as we enter the new year with hundreds of government workers going without pay. Taking a look at the counter, and the next paycheck on the 11th is in real jeopardy. People are talking about the automatic withdrawals they have for their mortgage and electric bill. This will get really tight really fast. You are right, and i think thats one reason we may start to see more movement. It was the friday before Christmas Eve on a monday. Christmas day on a tuesday. Federal government workers had that off, a lot of them had taken off for the holidays. This hadnt really they hadnt felt the effects quite so much. But now the holidays are over. A lot of workers are going to be their Bank Accounts have been drained for the holidays and they are back at work or not, as the case for most of them is. You will start to see more of those stories. I think the media is starting to cover some of these stories. He will hear about them a lot more. Even President Trump in the interview with fox news noted that some people do live paycheck to paycheck and they are going to be feeling that almost immediately this month. Lets hope that something happens. You dont want to have nearly a Million People worrying about how theyre going to pay the mortgage and feed their childre children. Laura before i let you go, we looked at a reuters poll looking at who people blame for the partial Government Shutdown. Over half of the polls say they believe the present, 30 point the finger at Senate Democrats. They also say congressional republicans. From our people its the blame game. Exactly. Here in washington we are you still blame game. Its something that is never ending. For the shutdown, its particularly big. Its what im hearing. I think thats one reason that the democrats, they like that. They want to see a little bit more blame for their fellow congressional members. Other public inside. I think thats one reason you saw in that new years each toby keith message, later independent more. He said that he would be happy to show the government down. Since then, some of the advisors have told him that Government Shutdowns arent always popular premium not want to take the blame for that. Hes very good at saying a message and keeping that blame where they think it belongs. Speech e weve got to leave it there. Thank you for being with us as always. Good to see. See you. Happy new year. All right, blake.

A big court battle as possible before the final report sees the light of day. Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridges life in washington. Happy new year to you. What can you tell us on this, catherine . Think you, and happy new year to you, as well, laura. Based on reporting, we believe that the investigation is in its final stages. Some media reporting suggesting that he could finalize his report and provide to the Justice Department as early as february. But his office does not comment publicly on his progress or the timeline. Its worth noting that the Intelligence Committee provided special counsel and investigators political operative roger stones testimony. Senior democrats suggested that the emails between stone there on the left and his associate jerome corsi are inconsistent with his statements to congress. Mueller about stress investigators export whether the men had advance knowledge about the hacked emails with the clinton campaign, an allegation they denied. Another outstanding question for the new year is whether mueller has been building an obstruction case against the president over his firing of fbi director james comey and issues relating to him National Security advisor mike flynn. On sunday, the incoming chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee was pressed on the president s choice to leave william barr, who wrote to the Deputy Attorney general last year stating an obstruction case would not be on sound legal footing.
