There of the inner workings of what was happening inside the meeting with the vice president. thank you. eric? eric: from the white house lets go up pennsylvania avenue to capitol hill. thats where members of congress are reacting today following that meeting yesterday between congressional leaders and the president over the demands for funding the border wall. >> the president wants a secure nation. thats common sense. thats what were fighting for, and unfortunately, the democrat party digging ...

And chuck schumer have long supported and voted for fences and barriers, the president ran on it. what we are seeing a political standoff, the voter keeps hitting the fund government and border wall choice but nothing happens but they are trapped in the same old narrative no matter what they do. ryan and mcconnell didnt deliver but they somehow found a billions for more defense spending while blowing right through those spending caps. now pelosi and mcconnell are stiffing the voters as well. the...

That im the appropriate one to say that, to discuss a national emergency but i will say one thing, i think that we need to come up with the solutions that were looking for, and coming back to the issue of the border wall, you know, i want to remind you one thing, richard, we have barriers or walls that were created before this administration came into play, so its nothing new. we had over 700 miles that were done during the time that i worked for the u.s. immigration service, so i think thats th...

Country with visas that overstayed and theres nothing being done about it, and its become such a political issue, that i dont think theyre addressing it, whats in the best interest of the country rather than just making it a political fight. >> i think the former chief of staff john kelly would agree with your characterization of the complexity of the very idea and the word of immigration. he was saying, to be honest, this is not a wall. the president still says a wall. often times frankly he sa...

Very effective in the way this they are used regardless of what the terms that are used, i think the important thing is the agents out on the field would concur that more barriers are needed. i think one of the things that would help the administration to say where they specifically intend to create these barriers because i know our agents out on the field know where theyre needed. when they have barriers they can respond quick e the infrastructure is important so they can build roads so we have...

More focused on how he is going to spin the results to make sure he could say i did get someth g something. >> yeah, david, there in lies the rub. ann coulter, the last time he tried to switch from wall to barriers or slats, ann coulter was not having it, and he pivoted to, no, no, no, i mean the wall. here we are again where the rubber meets the road, his supporters are not willing to say if its not a wall its not border security. >> whatever the opinion polls are about it, this is a core campa...

Up $5.6 billion for barriers, and maybe its not a cement wall but its some sort of fence or steal khratslats, the presidentd probably go along with that. and nancy pelosi is not being literal, but she is talking about a physical barrier, and they think its immoral. nobody is proposing to tear down the walls we have. >> rick, thats the point. they are shoring up the fencing in places where theres holes or its not working. democrats dont refuse to do that. this is a semantics thing. the president,...

Pointed out rightly. the border patrol union is not an official spokesperson for the entire union and for all the members of customs and border protection and the border control. you have a senate confirmed commissioner who could have been there to answer questions, that was not what the white house intended. but i would say in is certainly some evidence that barriers work, they have worked in some sectors. but a couple key points, if the president felt it was necessary to have $5 billion for a ...

>> all right. but again -- >> first of all -- first of all, i wish that kaitlan would have come back and said, actually, i come from a family of -- like, anything. i just cant even believe he told her what she does and does not know. im going to hold -- >> this is a president who has declared himself an expert on drones and -- >> and all kinds of things. >> but construction, actually, he might lay claim to. >> but he doesnt know her background. >> but the other issue, does it matter? if its conc...

By the senate, they represent 18,000 plus men and women in uniform, and theyre -- themselves, agents, who actually have enforced the law for 21 plus years, so i think what they have to say is very valuable, and all of those gentlemen ive worked with personally, and know and understand their viewpoint. and i can say both in law enforcement here in arizona in the past, and also serving in the reserve component specifically for the border mission in yuma and also in california having helped constru...
