president s saying is fiction. so it s very hard to negotiate with someone who s dealing with a made-up problem. so they will continue and they will put more resources, again, this has been building up over the last ten, 12 years. more money, higher, you know, better technology, more border patrol, and the president is going to have to figure out a way to say, hey, i got what i want and move on. or, go to the courts, which he could have done 38 days ago, and see if the courts let him to do it. the interesting thing is the debate s going to be about new fencing. the democrats have said we ll repair the fencing that s there. i don t know that the democrats will agree any new barriers or new fencing. i think part of the 1.6 billion had a little bit of new fencing. last year? uh-huh. i think had he had already agreed to a little bit. now 2,000 miles. the president had already claimed they were building new border walls with the money he had. which was not true. and now they r
and he would not move back from his $5.7 billion offer if the does look like, as john said, we re getting closer to the emergency option where he could declare an emergency option and try to find many elsewhere in the budget. there are a number of republicans that are opposed to that, including senator marco rubio who said that would be a bad precedent and sour things with congress who has the power of the purse. so the president is potentially going to be on his own if he decides to go out and do a national emergency where he s getting pushback not only from democrats and people are going to be filing lawsuits and some senate republicans in the house do not think that s the way to go. two things, there s a difference between saying it publicly i don t think the president should use executive powers and privately because everyone s saying if he does this, fine, we have to get the shutdown off the table. the second thing is not only did mick mul vianey say the president was considerin
super bowl week is here, the teams have arrived in atlanta where it will be played after at least amazing sendoffs for one of the teams. andy scholes is live at the stadium with the bleacher report. hey, andy. good morning, john. i know which team you re talking about, your patriots both them and the rams lodloading up yesterday, making their way here to atlanta. both teams holding fan rallies before getting on that plane and the patriots a little bit more grand. check out gillette stadium. more than 35,000 fans on hand to see the patriots off. this is nothing new for the team. had is the patriots fourth super bowl in the past five years and bill belichick said this was the biggest sendoff they ve ever had. this will be tom brady s record ninth super bowl and he got the fans pumped up before leaving. we re excited. i hope you guys are excited. and as dez said, let s let them hear it all the way down
he s pretending that he would never speak to investigators or testify against the president, but then he s saying i just won t lie. there s a way to tell the truth and speak to investigators. there s two things to note. first of all, he s under indictment for lying, for lying five times. there s also obstructing justice and tampering way witness. the second piece is to cooperate, it s not just about talk about other people, you have to be honest with yourself and what you ve done and there s no evidence that he can do that in this case. i don t think he s going to get that call to be a cooperator. toe the liw the line, that st interesting thing. you were here on day three and the washington post put all this in stark perspective for me. they pointed out just how many people connected to the president have lied about russia and many of them have been indicted or charged or convicted. michael cohen, paul manafort, all convicted, rick gates convicted for lying about russia, and now
seen sooas the arbiter of who cd decide this power tussle here in caracas. but also last night, late it last night quad doe called for street protests this week. there will be marches across caracas next saturday and more gatherings on wednesday. so we could see pressure building up on nicholas maduro to open up a negotiating table and own the military to deal to lead a way out of this dramatic crisis, john. all right. thank you very, very much for that. ahead on new day we have an exclusive journey inside venezuela. we see the devastation causing the people to rise up. so the shutdown is over but another one could be three weeks away. what president trump s b bargaining position is now. that s next. it s inspected by mercedes-benz
