Sad about this conversation is there are two messages for two parts of the country. i dont see this as a head to head clash of ideas as much as i see donald trump addressing his part of the country and orourke addressing a different audience entirely. thats part of why we are in a crisis that we are having. >> what do you think congressman? >> i think barriers are part of a border security solution. thats true. on the other hand beto orourke is right, we need to deal with this problematic source...

We have our man up there on capitol hill. help me understand. what does it mean? agreement on of all it. what are your sources telling you. >> the chances of averting a shutdown have significantly increased. its very unlikely at the moment there will be a shutdown because we expect the congressional leadership to get behind this emerging deal that these four top negotiators have been discussing behind closed doors. you recall yesterday they said theyre not talking anymore. they said this was sta...

In the 90s they saw a big drop. especially in 1994. thats because they started a new initiative. i want it to make sense in the sequence of this fact check. they had an operation then called hold the line. the idea was to put border patrol agents and vehicles 50 yards apart across the border and that gave them more coverage. later they backed that up with technological advances to give more coverage. more than a decade later 78 miles of fencing was built across the sector in the parts they had t...

Number of detention beds for individuals caught under i.c.e. custody, undocumented immigrants as well as the discussions over how much money to give for new barriers and funding for border security. that had been a sticking point all along. democrats and republicans had stopped talking but today theres been significant movement. now they say they have a deal in principle and richard shelby said that mitch mcconnell, the majority leader tasked him to get a deal. speaker pelosi also suggesting she...

The facts about where a wall has made a difference versus not. they have been perverted to a point that theyre almost unrecognizable feeling from fact. we have done the reporting here. physical barriers can make a difference. in places there are more needed so say the people in charge of keeping us safe, but no one says they are what the president says they are and the president made that point for us tonight by picking a place that does just the opposite. we laid out the facts. next.

Back to the table, there will be a government shutdown, period, end of story. they just dont have the time before friday to go back to the table, and frankly, the idea they would reopen a deal they worked so hard to reach and was so arduous for both sides, and all they can hope is that hell sign it. i think thats the best case of what you see right now, but theyre running into vote problems if he keeps talking like this. >> he keeps talking about republican votes. there are some progressives bec...

Speaker a few days ago, a few weeks ago when she said he would not get one dollar. i think thats the strategy. but overall on the wall, and beto, if i can on this, i would like to know if the mayor, who i think also knows, mayor margot knows about el paso and the people of el paso, if they would share mr. orourkes view that the wall or barriers, he has referred to them as racist. are they in favor of removing the barrier that resulted in 67% reduction in apprehensions? you saw the mayor earlier,...

For both sides, by the way. because the democrats, tell me if im wrong, youre never bashful about that, thats for sure, but i dont think the democrats wanted to be in a position with the president or any republican could say you guys are soft. you wouldnt give us any money for physical barriers and it was just a political standoff for you and you know that theyre not of no value. you know that theyre of no value but you wouldnt give us any of them just as a point of pride and i think that was a ...

So hes trying to sell us that up is down and left is right and black is white. its not true and i hope that people will look past the lies and at the facts. >> are you okay with the democrats making a deal, this breaking news that were getting just as the show was starting that includes funding for physical barriers, ballard fencing, whatever you want to call it, but things put in place to keep people out? >> well, i havent seen what the details are yet. this is breaking news. it hasnt been repo...

You know what its called, folks? were setting the stage. were setting the table. were doing whatever we have to do. the wall is being built. >> if the phrase setting the table sounds familiar, the president used it two weeks ago telling the "new york times" he thought congressional negotiations were pointless. he telegraphed the livelihood he would declare a national emergency and try to use his executive authority to spend military dollars on the border wall. >> i have set the table. i have set...
