Border Security Excludeing News Today

And im told in my ear he just tweeted again, this ones not about the border wall. okay, great you can get of that. okay, ron, lets say he eventually gets around to tweeting, no, i didnt make it about the wall. what nancy pelosi and chuck schumer saw tonight is how easy it is to get this president to cave, to completely surrender. and they know no matter how tough he might want to pretend to play on the porder wall in the future, he is not tough and doesnt know how to play tough in the white hous...

Capeheart for "the washington post" and back with us ron clain. and the amendment to this, jonathan, comes from white house press secretary sarah sanders tweeting, while daca and border security were both discussed excludeing the wall was certainly not agreed to. who are we going to believe? >> well, i mean, the white house has no credibility when it comes to like believing anything that comes out of there. but its interesting that that comes out because when the news broke that there was a deal...

And i think theres bipartisan support for that. so thats very heartening. and on the wall, i believe the president during the campaign said another country was going to pay for that. and i cant remember what it was. >> oh, cut it out with that comedian stuff. "wall street journal" is on to you. >> mexico, we know that. >> we are handed somewhere here on my desk is a statement by the white house press secretary saying oh no, no, no. the president did not agree to exclude funding for the wall. so,...

Broke that there was a deal on daca and other things with no mention of the wall and that it was another chuck and nancy deal, part of me wondered, wait, are they trying to jam the president to ensure that he does do a deal on daca that also doesnt include the border wall? i wonder if this is some very, like, superb chuck schumer/nancy pelosi negotiating in public. because now the white house is now on the defensive trying to defend -- trying to say, no, no, no. we are going to do the border wal...

Are hanging on this. and many in minnesota. these are people who came to the united states as a child. their parents brought them. many, many cases, most cases, this is the only country they know. this is a very good development. and i would give the president some credit for that. i thought it was terrible that he went the way he went on this. but he did say congress should act on it and i think we should and i think theres bipartisan support for that. so thats very heartening. and on the wall,...

Not present. >> thats true, lawrence. but i would say this. pall lawrence has reported this week to told reporters, that even he thinks the wall is stupid. unless donald trump has a plan to ban ladders in north america, the wall is not going to work. so maybe this is an opportunity for them to finally bury the wall idea. weve got a need to rebuild from these disasters. spending $20 billion on a wall is just nuts. >> thank you both for joining us. tonights "last word" is next. . ...thats heard th...

>> that apparently is a subject that your senate leader chuck schumer spoke to the president tonight, spoke in that dinner he had with the president and nancy pelosi in the schumer/schumer joint statement they said we urged the president to make permanent the cost sharing reduction payments and i just want to go wfr over with you the wording of the statement after the dinner that does indicate that theres an agreement to drop any proposal for funding the trump wall. its the joint statement says,...

Heres what chuck schumer and nancy pelosi said in a joint statement tonight about their dinner with donald trump at the white house. we had a very productive meeting at the white house with the president. the discussion focused on daca. we agreed to enshrine the protections of daca into law quickly and to work out a package of border security excludeing the wall. thats acceptable to both sides. joining us now, jonathan capeheart for "the washington post" and back with us ron clain. and the amend...

Sessions goes out there, makes this announcement and then the president goes and tweets and says ill revisit if congress doesnt do it. but if the president really didnt agree to the border wall, mr. president, im assuming you might be watching, now is the time to do what lawrence says is tweet it out saying, no, absolutely sarah sanders is right. im waiting. >> okay, would you monitor that for us? so, ron, lets just assume for the moment within the next 24 hours trump himself tweets something ab...

Bank on something that hes saying one moment that will hold true the next. but i dont think theres -- with these terrible hurricanes and the loss of life and the costs of those, i dont think theres any appetite in congress to be paying for a wall that mexico is supposed to pay for. >> theres a lot of pulling to be done in this country and u.s. virgin islands at government expense, the building for the wall is a hard one to fit into the budget. >> absolutely. >> senator al franken, thank you very...
