Politically, from that statement, this white house thinks and well see whether theyre right or not, they can weather the political storm from a Government Shutdown by saying were not negotiating until schumer backs down. They think inside the white house from my conversations with senior officials there, that Chuck Schumer overplayed his hand on daca and they are going to push back here and say we gave you six years of an extension, a long time for Childrens Health insurance, a program, chip as its known that, democrats said they had to have. The president gave on that. Said hes willing to work on daca. The bottom line is, this white house is taking a very hard line in these negotiations. Shannon sounds like it from that statement. All right, ed henry live on the beat for us, thank you. The president foreshadowing a shutdown a short while ago, tweeting, quote, its not looking good. White house correspondent kevin cork joins us with where the white house goes next. Youre right. It was i
negotiate something that is much broader. obviously, the president has put the border wall on the table. but you know, i m somebody who believes we need to be negotiating an overall solution to our broken immigration system. that s the thing, you re in a unique position. you support funding for the border wall. you also support comprehensive immigration fixes. you have been on the record for this for years. the president has made clear this week that he thinks shutting down the government over funding for the border wall is a political win. do you think it is? i think border security is something that needs to get resolved, especially in light of the caravan at the border and continuous attempts to cross our southern border in texas as well. so i do think that something has to get done, but in a short-term resolution, $1.6 billion is about all you can spend on an annual basis. going beyond that, i think you have to have a larger discussion. if you re going to talk about $5 billion
