Think the democrats will be part of the fodder that comes out and some republicans also, yes, both. >> congressman dent, the fact that, again, if hes looking for other funds, it certainly goes against the whole notion that mexico was going to pay for this wall. we certainly dont hear about that anymore, really. >> well, it was an outlandish promise to begin with, but i think whats so remarkable about this whole process is that the president and his budget requests for fiscal year 19 requested $1...

Now these are the same individuals, the house freedom caucus, by the way, that whispered in the presidents ear that he should force a shutdown. the offer then was 1.6 billion in barrier and he has less now. >> right. and theyre saying we want more. this is a tricky thing for you because politics are at play. democrats have always funded physical barriers. sometimes its we want to repair and replace. we dont want to add too much more. and then because the president made it a binary proposal, wall...

>> its about doing our basic job. we have the resources to be able to secure the border if well focus them in the right direction. we know that physical barriers will help the border patrol. it ought to be one piece of the entire solution and heres the reason the american people want a physical barrier. its evidence that theres something happening at the border rather than more talk. we had talk for 15 years and now people are dying. american citizens like jared vargas murdered last year by an i...

Between the democrats and republicans. i think it will be approve bid congress by a wide margin. >> they drew a pretty hard line to fund the presidents border wall. this bill contains nearly $1.4 billion for barriers along the border for mexico. do you believe that democrats were forced to cave in on that original promise? >> i think there was a compromise breached here. money for fencing and border security infrastructure along the southern border. there is need for additional fencing in texas ...

Many of those things dont deal with physical barriers, they deal with rules, flows, understandings in the home countries and all of those should be funded and the requirements are great. the president says its all about the wall. thats where the trouble is. >> what the president offered if you remember was 234 miles of fencing, $600 million of humanitarian relief. 75 judges, 50,000 beds and democrats now for some reason they want to make an argument that we dont need beds when the beds are the v...

The president ought to stick to that. the question has always been priority. i have done the reporting and been along the border. they need physical barriers but only one person said it is the top priority and thats the president of the united states. many of those dont deal with physical barriers, they deal with rules, flows, understanding in the home countries and all of those should be funded and the requirements are great. the president says its all about the wall. thats where the trouble is...

Future. the democrats will be apart of that coming out and some republicans also. both. >> congressman de dent, we se t certainly dont hear of mexico paying for that wall. >> the president and his budget request for fiscal year 19 requested $1.6 billion for barriers. he wants $5.7 billion -- well, why didnt he put it in his budget request? he could have had $5.7 billion when republicans controlled the house. it is beyond me. this whole shutdown was a harmful gesture, made no sense and they got a...

Nita lowry, chair of the house appropriations committee and the ranking republican on the panel is a woman as well. our chief political correspondent dana bash is joining us right now. these women are breaking down barriers and engaging some badly needed bipartisanship. >> its already happening. youre already seeing the results of that. there were four lawmakers in the room on monday night cutting the deal that led, they hope, to whats going to happen later this week, which is averting a shut do...

Hes getting less money, as he does that he says the wall is being built. he keeps saying that. that is not factual. heres what has happened. during the trump presidency, miles of new barriers built? zero. miles of replacement barriers? 80 plus, theres some construction about to happen on some new barriers, but as we sit here today the number of new miles of wall built during this presidency even though he keeps saying the wall is being built is zero. >> the irony of this is if he had taken the s...
