Street journal" reporting, a marine commandant is saying, "we dont know." when it comes to the shutdown, the latest reporting that weve seen is essentially that mike pence brought down the ask, if you will, from $5 billion for border wall funding to $2.5 billion. thats real money. do you wish schumer had taken the offer and ended the shutdown? >> the offer -- for what is the $2.5 billion going to be spent for? were more than willing to put up multiple billions of dollars for security, comprehens...

Whats going on? >> theyre virtually going nowhere at the moment. the last time they had a face-to-face meeting was on saturday between vice president mike pence, chuck schumer, and that did not go particularly well. pence came and offered $2.5 billion to deal with the border wall on the southern border along with border security measures. thats more than the $1.3 billion that the democrats have been pushing and schumer rejected that offer out of hand, and since then, theyve closed shop on capito...
