He now famously said you can put it on me, chuck schumer. if theres a government shut down, its on me because its important enough. and then it appeared that he thought better of it. he was going to sign a continuing resolution that would have gotten us to february when the democrats would be in control of the house. and then this morning, made a change on that and said no, we have to have funding for the wall. just a minute ago he talked about aesthetically pleasing steel slats as a possible --...

Barrier anymore. forget those prototypes they rolled out in march. yesterday the president downgraded his promise to steal slats. it will be difficult for him to sell that moving forward. with nancy pelosi and control it will be hard to get money for that. rob: there is no way democrats can let the president say he built this wall. >> it is not just that. the real issue is voter security. we know democrats when president obama was in office, thanks to the gang of 8, a bipartisan group past the b...

We have those prototypes sitting in the desert. for months and months and months and he was supposed to pick one, and he hasnt. >> tucker: we can agree with what i have said a million times on the show, he promised to build a wall and we should build one. what is he asking for now, i agree with you, but he is asking for the money to pay for the wall that he promised. the people want, the people voted for that, 64 million people. >> most people voted against him. >> tucker: why aret, democrats --...

Its also not clear that prototypes that have been shown to leadership have been signed off on. and let me give you one more fact check. lets go back to the very beginning, where president trump started this discussion with a promise that mexico would pay for the wall. well, now, hes asking taxpayers for $5 billion, steph. >> $5 billion. and i could have sworn it was mexico that was going to cover it. thank you, both. i want to bring my panel in. my dear friend, steve schmidt, i havent seen him i...

Give the president space to do what he wanted to do, then say stop and listen to me and to the strength im bringing. that was nancy pelosi being polite but clear about her stance. i think she was saying no man splaining here. >> the president made his case for more funding to build the border wall, at one point writing people do not yet realize how much of the wall, including effective renovation has already been built. but an nbc fact check of the claims found no new concrete wall has been buil...

Him. in a series of tweets, he said newly built walls for stopping the car van of migrants on the southern border. the reality, newly built walls dont exist at all. congress never approved funding for anything. no prototypes, nothing. nothing he wanted done has been done, yet he said it was the wall that kept the so-called caravan from crossing into the u.s. the president tweeted he is having no problem filling the soon to be vacant chief of staff job. the reality is that trump is scrambling to ...

From "the washington post" about these comments. can you just fact check that a little for us? >> what youre looking at now are the prototypes i visited back in 2017. the president visited march of 2018. lets be super clear, not one inch of any wall that looks anything like the pictures youre seeing on the left-hand side of your screen have been built anywhere along the southwest border of the united states of america. in the budget request for this year, the one that was ultimately approved by ...
