Weeks of what theyve asked for so far would be. whether or not democrats would support that is still an open question. you heard the president pointing several times there to that meeting between senator chuck schumer and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. theyve been meeting. they just broke up and ended that meeting. were going to talk to them after that. when he was asked by a reporter in the room would he assign whatever kind of agreement that mcconnell and schumer came to, he said yes ...

>> youre working your sources over there. well get back to you. phil mattingly is up on capitol hill. you heard the president say if mulch mcconnell and chuck schumer could come up with a reasonable agreement, he would support t definition of a reasonable agreement, though, remains outstanding. >> doing a lot of work there. one of the key issue bes weve seen the last four or five weeks is that both parties, regardless, democrat or republican, having a difficult time trying to pin down exactly wh...

Are going to see that. thats not like hiding drugs in the engine or hub caps and incredible, ingenious ideas. its so genius, if they were ever legit, they would become very rich people. but what they do, they go through the ports of entry with small stuff. but the big stuff comes through areas where you have nobody watching. you have hundreds of miles of open space. you go out there and they load it up with drugs or have women in the backseat of the cars with duct tape all over the place. its a ...

We want to go through the system. we have to have a wall in this country. we have criminals pouring into our country. and im not talking about the southern border. they dont stay there. they permeate all throughout the country, including places like wisconsin. a lot of different places. and thats the problem. i say that we would cut our traffic -- you know, were doing very well compared to past years and past administrations. i think our crime rate would go way down and our drug rates -- whats h...

Lets discuss all of this with democratic congressman ted liu, judicial committee. thanks for joining us. both government funding bills up for consideration in the senate failed this afternoon. now the president says he would support a temporary reopening of the federal government if there was a pro-rated down payment for a wall. whats your reaction? >> thank you for your question, wolf. first of all im pleased that the democratic proposal with no strings attached got more votes than donald trump...

The president has not seen wilbur ross remarks but does think that perhaps he could have phrased what he said differently. for those viewers who didnt see what he said, wilbur ross said he didnt understand why federal workers were going to food banks instead of just taking out loans and then did admit that they may have to pay interest on get the. wolf? >> the president repeatedly said, kaitlan, we have a lot of alternatives and i will do those alternatives if there is no compromise deal. i assu...

Order to do so. what would you do if he decides to take those unilateral steps without congressional legislation? >> i think donald trump should reopen government and then if he wants to do that, thats up to him. we can fight it out in the courts. but the democrats in the senate and in the house are not going to cave to donald trumps demands in the middle of a government shutdown. now, donald trump reopens government, then everything is on the table and im happy to consider the call in the conte...

Remains open right now and that largely sits in the presidents lap. >> he called in the white house press pool, making some statements. so far, were told, he hasnt yet spoken about the negotiations to try to end this shutdown. but well have that fairly soon. i want to bring in our white house correspondent kaitlan collins. reporters now are listening to what the president had to say. first of all, what are you hearing? >> wolf, thats going to be the first question those reporters have for the pr...

>> when the vote for the presidents proposal failed, we went to see the second alternative. i voted for that as well. again, because i want to see government get open and government workers get paid. that proposal also failed. now its going to be up to republican leadership, democrat leadership to come together and begin to negotiate. >> reporter: wolf, those negotiations are, in fact, happening. what everybody on capitol hill is waiting for is where the white house is going to come down. senato...

Term and, to be fair, the idea that they would give money for a wall in the long term is not something anybody is willing to agree with at this moment. there are absolutely talks going on, both at the highest levels, mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer meeting, and lower level on rank and files, trading ideas back and forth, continuing discussions, though they havent been fruitful up to this point. on the top line, the reality is that the democrats, not only do they hold that position of not givin...
