The short answer to your question is at least they are talking. It seems for the past 29 days, this has just been a staring contest between congressional leaders and the white house. But now were actually seeing some tangible offers being put on the table. Lets talk about this proposal from democrats. Theyre going to basically do it through a serie of legislative packages that theyre going to pass and then hand over to the senate and then allow the republicans in the senate to do with them as they see fit. Within these packages there will be an additional 1 billion in funding for what theyre calling Border Security. And within that funding, were seeing this. 524 million in additional infrastructure, at points of entry, and then 563 million for funding for 75 immigration judges. Now, theres two problems with this from the white house perspective. First, its only 1 billion. They want closer to 6 billion for Border Security and, of course, it has absolutely nothing to do with the border wall which means, remains the president s sticking point. We know the president s ready to put an offer on the table later this afternoon. The democrats are going to present this in a series of legislative packages this week to the senate. The fundamental problem, between both sides, remains the same. The president wants a wall, Congressional Democrats do not want a wall. Well have to see if now that theyre offering a little bit of extra incentives on either side of the table, if one of these sides decides to move in either direction, fred. All right, ryan nobles, thank you. The president s announcement expected four hours roughly from now. And we are starting to hear details about what he is ready to offer democrats. Joining me from the white house, cnns White House Reporter jeremy diamond. What can we expect from the president . Now that the president s also hearing about this 1 billion proposed from democrats, hes likely to respond to that as well, right . Thats right. What were expected to hear from the president this afternoon is the outlines of the first kind of major compromise proposal that the president is putting forward to democrats here. He is going to tell democrats, look, if you give me 5. 7 billion for the border wall, something that the president has been demanding throughout this Government Shutdown, in exchange, the president is expected to announce this afternoon that he will sign legislation protecting those undocumented immigrants who came to the u. S. As children. Those dreamers that we have heard so much about. And also extend Legal Protections for those covered under the temporary protected status program. Thats a lot of immigrants who came to the u. S. Because of farm disasters. Those were specific declarations. Of course the president would restore protections, protections that he himself stripped during his time in office. Last year, of course, he stripped the daca program, which was put into law or put into executive action, rather, by president obama, as well as some of these temporary protected status protections. But this is the first assem ble assembleance of a proposal from the white house. The question is how will the white house react to this. They have talked about the possibility of a border wall in exchange for granting citizenship to some dreamers. This is simply extending the Legal Protections for some of these undocumented immigrants. So what will democrats do now will be the big question. But certainly the president will put this proposal to democrats and to the American People this afternoon. Now expected for 4 p. M. Jeremy diamond at the white house, thank you. Lets dive into this. Former michigan governor Jennifer Granholm and charlie dent, former republican congressman from pennsylvania. Good to see you both. Good to see you. Good to be with you. Jennifer, in just a matter of hours, the president wants to make this offer to democrats to try to end this shutdown. This extension of, you know, daca protections in exchange for wall funding. Is he going to be getting the democrats attention on this . Im sorry, who was that directed to . For you, jennifer, governor. Okay, great. Call me jennifer, its good. I really think that movement on both sides is really good thing for those 800,000 employees, right . So democrats had remember that the president originally had asked for 1. 6 billion in his budget request. The democrats offered to give him that. In this Homeland Security budget, theyve offered 1. 3 billion for Border Security and now theyre going to add another 1 billion on top of that for other Border Security type of measures including technology. I think this is all going to come down to how you define the word wall. Is it an electronic barrier and democrats are willing to, you know, provide funding for that . Is there more Detection Technology . Or is it purely a bridge and the mo more, a brick and mortar wall . I think the daca solution is very positive. Charlie do you see its a matter of semantics, you know, arguing over, you know, how to define Border Security . Is it barriers, is it wall, is it technology . Is that the fine tuning that is standing in the way of coming to a deal . Well, it seems like were at the point where there can be real negotiation. Look, ive said all a long the way out of this thing is to reopen the government and then simply negotiation probably 2 billion to 3 billion at the end of the day for Border Security. Now define that. Border agents. Technology. A whole number of things. In exchange for that, real protection to the daca population. Is that what its being hung up, on the language there or in the amount . Well, both. I dont think the democrats will agree to 5. 6 billion. But i do think that theyll be under tremendous pressure to agree to some number, between 1. 6 and 5. 7. Theyll have to take a number sooner or later. The president s own rhetoric is not hoelpful. He is incapable of articulate ago plan to establish operational control of the border. Which is far more expansive than just simple barriers or walls. So i think thats really been a big part of the problem. The president s own rhetoric. By the way, i was one of the original cosponsors of the secure fence act of 2006, so i know a little bit about this issue. Theres an easy path forward here for both sides to come to an agreement. Its a tragedy that weve had to go through a Government Shutdown all these days s to get to thi point. Simply reopen the government and negotiate this and pass the Homeland Security bill. This isnt that hard. In one respect, the president said look forward to this major announcement, now scheduled for 4 00. Then this morning on his way to Dover Air Force base, he said this about where he, you know, is still digging in his heels. We have a lot of people in caravans coming up. If we had a wall, we wouldnt have a problem. We have too many open areas. The walls that we fixed and the walls that we built hold beautifully. Everybody knows that walls work. The Border Patrol has done an incredible job. But we need the help and the backdrop of a wall. So, jennifer, is the cat already out of the bag . The major announcement, you know, hes saying, look, the wall is the wall and its going to be here. Just days eric t s ago the hous said theres no money for a wall. Then confirming this 1 billion offer in additional funding but not for the wall. Well, what about this does he not understand . People who are coming are coming largely to proclaim asylum. And they dont do it at unwalled portions of the border. They do it at the ports of entry. I dont know how many times this has to be pointed out to him, that a wall will not fix that. A wall will not fix the bringing across of drugs when 90 of them are brought across in vehicles. What will stop hes arguing it will be effective. But hes wrong. He continues to argue it will be effective, acting as a deterrent, barrier, to drugs, you know, or bad actors from coming across the border. He can say that all he wants but the facts are in opposite direction. What will help is better detection and better security. Yes, we should put some money into drones and yes we should have more immigration judges. Which the democrats are going to be are putting on the into funding. But he cant just because he continues to repeat a lie doesnt mean its true and doesnt mean that we should be funding something that is ineffective and a lie. So charlie, you know, i spoke with a contract worker who has not been working for the past month like a lot of contractors and federal workers and without a paycheck. Earlier, she said, shes going to be watching this scheduled announcement from the president but all she wants to hear is when is government going to be open. And based on what were hearing so far in terms of the sign posting of, you know, his demands on border wall funding, do you have any confidence that the president is going to be able to say yb my major announcement is government is going to be up and running again . Well, heres really the issue, i think the best path forward is simply to pass those six appropriation bills now and then do a shortterm extension. And then negotiate does he seem amenable to that . Thats what i want to hear from the president today. I hope he agrees to reopening the government now so they can have this negotiation without this enormous pressure placed on all these people, you know, who are going without pay. That would be the best way to deal with it. If the president wants to negotiation this thing while government is shut down, i think this could take a while. There are still a lot of fine points here to be negotiated on tps, daca. Theres a lot involved here. But you can easily reach an agreement. With the pressure of a shutdown, its horrible. I think it would be i hope the president today says were going to reopen the government and were going to negotiate this by a date certain. All right, we shall see. Four hours away and counting. Jennifer granholm, charlie dent, appreciate it. Up next, a cloud of controversy hanging over the womens march as tens of thousands participate in events across the country.

Welcome back. Happening right now, life pictures right now, washington, d. C. , where women in many cities across the country are taking part in the third annual womens march. This one just unfolding about an hour ago. Getting started there in the Nations Capital. The first marches in 2017 took place the day after President Trumps inauguration to protest comments that he made about women during the campaign and to support womens rights overall. This years marches are expected to be smaller as controversy and division has cast a shadow over the movement. Organizers are still expecting thousands to turn out in cities all across america. Weve got a team of correspondents covering these marches. Lets begin in the Nations Capital with cnn correspondent jessica dean. What kind of turnout has occurred . I want to let you take a look at the crowd here behind me. We have a big crowd here but it is certainly smaller than it has been in years past as you mentioned, there is some controversy surrounding the leadership of the womens march. Were also of course in washington, d. C. Where the shutdown remains in effect. Were dealing with that, smaller resources and also the weather not expected to be tremendous today so it is a bit of a smaller crowd but the people we have talked to certainly passionate. They all believe firmly they need to be here, two years after President Trump went into office, to continue to protest against him, his administration and a lot of the policies that he is trying to put in place or has put into place. We talked to one mother and daughter who flew here from houston. Another one from north carolina. Theyre coming from all over the country to be here. Interestingly, though, theres also a counterprotest that is with women who say they dont feel included here. Conservative women, women who are antiabortion, they are having a counterprotest not too far from here. Thats kind of what were seeing here in washington. The march portion of all of this wrapping up. Now the rally starting to take place. All right, jessica dean, thank you so much. Lets go north to boston. Cnn National Correspondent erica hill is there for the march under way. Fredricka, were hearing some similar things. Most of the folks weve spoken with here are local. Most of the people i spoke with from the state of massachusetts, so not too far outside of boston. But there was concern moving into the march about just what this march stood for. This is one of hundreds of marches planned locally around the country. The executive director of womens forward massachusetts, which is behind this march, told me that that has overshadowed, in fact, this effort and efforts around the country, having to continuously answer questions about who is this march for. She told me they want everyone to feel welcome here. This is a march for all women and for all people. We are expecting in just a few minutes from now to hear from representative aiota presley. She of course is the first black woman elected to represent the state of massachusetts in congress. Shes one of the few elected officials who had been confirmed as a speaker at any of these events. The other of course being senator gillibrand whos also a 2020 hopeful whos in iowa this morning speak at an event there. She put denouncing antisemitism and noting it has no police in any movement. Erica hill, thank you so much. Jessica dean, also, in d. C. , appreciate it. All right, weve got so much more straight ahead right after this. At matter, tracfone keeps you connected, for less.
