harris: glad to have you. we ll go to the news. big news day, as always. we are watching the white house as the president, congresswoman nancy pelosi, and senator chuck schumer are set to meet. at the heart of the talks are efforts to fund that border wall system. the president has requested at least $5 billion to pay for that. an idea which democrats have so far rejected. senate minority leader schumer and house majority leader pelosi released a statement. here it is, in part. our country cannot afford a trump shutdown, the president knows full well that he doesn t have the votes to pass house and senate and should not be an obstacle to a bipartisan agreement. over this morning, president trump tweeted in 2006, democrats voted for a while and they were right to do so. today they no longer want border security. they will fight it at all costs, and nancy muscat must get voter
i insured my car, and my bike. my calves are custom too, but i can t insure those. which is a crying shame. only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. harris: fox top story, president trump clashing with democratic leaders in the oval office over funding for the border wall system. enlisting a government shutdown. all the cameras rolling, here s a catch. the washington post today gave you a whole lot of pinocchio perilous because they say you constantly misstate how much of the wall is built, and how much is there. but that s not the point. we have a disagreement about the wall. let me say something mr. president. you say my way or we will shut on the government. we have a proposal with
time, chuck, you shut it down. i don t want to do what you did. 20 times you called for it. i will shut on the government if i don t get my wall. you ve said it. president trump: you want to know something? i will take it. you know what i will say? yes. if we don t get what we want, one way or the other, whether it s through you, through the military, through anything you want to call it. i will shut down the government. harris: the optics might not be on the side of those who won t even consider a border wall system at this point, which we have always had in our history. there has been money allocated since 2006, which democrats passed. it s hard when you are looking at caravans and other things. what do you say? first of all, that is the first time i have listened to the exchange. so he clearly did make that a president trump shut down, if we get to that. about this caravan again, paint everybody with the same brush.
the point of view that we take is about securing the southern border, stopping the flow of illegal immigrants, stopping the flow of illegal drugs for that s why the senate is back here, to keep this country safe and secure for all americans. harris: if the government partially shuts down, would you be in favor of that for what is at stake here, according to the president question works because i don t think we need to have a shut down. i serve on the probations committee as low paid 75% of the probations have passed. it was a stronger bipartisan vote that we have seen in 20 years, and the appropriations committee. it s a very small percent that is refunded premium to get this taken care of and secure the seven border. this should not be a difficult thing right now. we need to get this done in the next two weeks. harris: senator daines, as you look at us moving ahead, the president had originally asked for $25 billion. now it s $5 billion. do you already consider that a compromise,
harris: getting us to look at it from a gestalt view. 38,000 seats, all the options on the table. variables in the mix. i appreciate your time from the heritage foundation today. thank you very much. harris: fox news alert, a short time ago the senate followed the house and has now approved a two week stopgap spending bill. that means the government will be funded for another two weeks. putting off that threat of a government shutdown through december 21st. that will go quickly, woe to? the president has threatened a partial government shutdown if congress does not approve $5 million for the border wall system. we know from surveys this is important to the murky people. he ran on it, it s a promise he made, and a lot of people want to see it. earlier today, house majority leader nancy pelosi said she will not support that amount of border wall funding, even if offered a solution for so-called dreamers. daca, who have been in limbo since president trump eliminated that program ear
