For a wall in a longterm immigration bill. We have team fox News Coverage all of this this afternoon for you and live at white house plus speaking with david who has latest reaction from congress. Hi, with david. Good afternoon theres a lot of reaction in the clock. It is ticking even louder because members of Congress Know that february 15th is the deadline if they dont hash out some sort of an agreement President Trump says hell move forward with that wall in a minute but now that government is back open, hundreds of thousands about 800,000 are back to work. But still those paychecks wont come in immediately many of these agencies have been shutdown since december 21st end of 2018 they need a couple of days to press everything. Youll start to see things opening soon, though, when it comes to National Parks and museums. We check with National Park service were told you need to check specifically with park sites youre interested to find out when theyll be open and as people head back to work or check out National Parks members of congress theyre going to be coming back to the capitol on monday with february 15th, top of mind. But i think youre going to see people golden rule and talk about to we need . And you know, there are places that fence or wall may work people are saying should we tear down walls, about wall is symbol of distinguish but if this downtown of people think that thing is appropriate but need to be using much more technology i can it will you that thats based on a number of republicans and democrats having private conversations over the last 48 hours. Even today, there will be additional conversations in a bipartisan way, but really you know, you cant look at this situation and believe that it will be easy. Mark meadows from Freedom CaucusPresident Trump made it clear if congress doesnt plan Border Security on february 15th hell their a National Emergency and tap into other funds to build that wall. Eric. If the president does their that which is in his powers a National Emergency can democrats then still block him from building his wall . Well they can theoretically do that because they say that theres going to be some kind of lawsuit several members here on capitol hill have said they will take legal action, President Trump is keenly aware hes had actually mentioned being sued over this and that would just tie up things even longer. Eric. All right well be talking about that in just a moment if indeed president does declare a National Emergency. All right. As we were getting new reaction from President Trump who despite his threat for calling a National Emergency, saying now that hes hopeful a deal can be struck. Ellison barber at the white house. Hi ellison. President trump active on twitter today saying that he thinks they can work out a deal, the white house, of course, announced this yesterday President Trump announced agreement in the rose garden yesterday afternoon and few hours later, he signed the bill. After a 36 days of spirited debate and dialogue, i have seen and heard from enough democrats and republicans that they are willing to put partisanship aside. I think and put the security of the American People first. The walls we are building are not medieval walls. They are smart walls. Designed to meet the needs of Frontline Border agents despite seeming to lose this round of the border wall President Trump sounded fairly optimistic in rose garden manhattanning that tone today but at the same time he says it, quote, will not be easy to make a deal. Both parties very dug in. The president signed a bill to reopen the federal government funding through february 15th. In thes and republicans agreed to form a bipartisan Conference Committee to continue tboarkses over Border Security. Some say President Trump caved here that democrats got exactly what they wanted in the president gave up on the very thing that led to the shutdown. Funding for the wall conservative fire called hell the biggest wimp ever to serve as the president of the United States. And the rose garden mr. Trump made case for a wall often focusing on crime and talked about technological enhancement things that democrats tend to focus on in many the Border Security debate. No Border Security plan can ever work without a physical barrier just doesnt happen. At the same time, we need to increase drug detection technology, and manpower to modernize our port of entry which are obsolete. We do not need 2,000 miles of concrete wall from is sea to chinese sea we never it. We never proposed that. White house sighs they think they can get a deal here. A white house official told me what theyre really forward next is exactly who will take the lead on that Conference Committee when it comes to negotiating a white house official told me they think that a lot of moderate democrats particularly those in district that are in state president onef districts that lean red think those people support funding for border wall and private talks during this shutdown is what led to this deal. They think they can get a deal with those folks the question and some officials minds here at the white house is will those democrats be the ones actually leading the negotiations. Moving ellison barber thank you verify. For more on what could happen and dan palmer formerrer advisor to ted cruz president ial campaign. A democratic strategist dave brown, let me start with you. The the 64 dollar question, or i guess 5. 7 billion dollar question right now will any democrat, any democrat on the bipartisan Conference Committee would any democrat support funding first in fencing or the barrier which the president has always been calling for . I think that would be wise to because alternative doesnt play out well for them. The president will declare a National Emergency. Hes framed the issue correctly as one of National Security and humanitarian crisis on the border. And if democrats want to tie up some executive action in the courts, then, there can be no comprehensive Immigration Reform as long as the wall is in resolve, and without that the dreamers are high and dry and theyre statistic in limbo thats a constituency that is very important to the democrats and structural pressure will be on them not on the republicans to resolve it. So if it ends up going that way i would check to make the proposal to trump to break the long jam. They wont be happy if it is tied up with the court. David do you think that chuck and nancy can support building some type of barrier . You threw a graphic up that shows that a majority of the American People dont support building a wall they do support funding for more Border Agents but dont supporting a wul and same fox news poll that couple out earlier this week with, also shows that the most americans and majority dont support the way the president is handling immigration very large so i think politically, no. In fact, if anything if you want to use midterms a referendum on president handling of Border Security america is clear and they dont want this approach. But i do think it is or very telling listening to the president s comment earlier today in the rose garden, i mean, hes clearly opening the door for for some dialogue about about what a comprehensive Border Security package might look like and whether thats funding for a smart wall. Funding for technology such as what congressman republican congressman heard which district sits along border called for, or some combination therefore. So i think politically what youll see with this Conference Committee both sides trying to find a way to move forward in a way where theres a package that can pass out on both house and senate. In terms of that package yesterday in the rhodes rose garden youve seen the president evolve he went from 5. 7 billion down and vetoed that one back up. But now hes talking about this fence and look i ask people about this a lot. In 2006, the secure america act that democrats voted for 654 miles of walls heres the omb request for what the president wants. He only wants 250 234 miles the president wants less than onethird of a steel barrier now why wont democrats in good faith and goodwill support onethird of what they voted for in 2006 which is not a wall, but this type of steel barrier in yuma where experts say it is most desperately needed. I appreciate the fair question and see what comes of the Conference Committee but i want to offer a context here because i think this has been hardest part of this debate. The challenge with discussion about the wall and way the president has historically talked about the wall, its not just a wall. When he says wall its a battle cry for much larger symbolic political statement about not only a physical barrier but also an appeal to his base on immigration at large and i think, it is parte if you look at the proposal system and administration offered theyre not only interested in that narg scope of silence seeker but a way to scale back dramatically number of people who can come legally to this country so thats a challenge politically that we cant actually have it is difficult to separate a discussion about the qawl from comprehensive Immigration Reform and Border Security because the president has really lefts us no room to do that so i do think there will be interesting to it see if a path forward can come out of the Conference Committee where both sides can declare victory. Do you think that is a dog whistle do you think that basic ily as long as that word is in there democrats are not going to go to vote for basically what they voted for in the past . Eric you asked a great question. You got evasive answer, whats changed since 2006 is the Democratic Party theyve swerved sod far left theyre putting interest of noncitizens ahead of citizens. I disagree with with dave. I think that the issue is framed correctly one of National Security and humanitarian crisis. Despite whatever rhetoric the democrats want to roll out about a wall being ineffective or third century solution, and we should rely on technology, if they have a front door, theyve already conceded that a physical barrier is an important part of securing access to their own homes. We all understand the merit of a physical barrier. This is about signaling on the left and events are going to overtake them as soon as we have more killings by illegals of the United States citizens or more tragedies lightning border they cant sustain these arguments about technology and all of the other improvements that they would like to turn off as soon as President Trump leaves office. We need to hard physical barrier are. That is to the public towns. Im sorry dan that statement ignores the reality of policy and that policy debate for the past decade i served in senate in 2013 when the Senate Passed comprehensive Immigration Reform and ill tell you that republicans your side, definitely support technological enhancements no one is saying to take everything off the table but what i find really interesting frankly where drugs into the country through legal ports of entry we need to be focused where those vulnerabilities are and Smart Technology more border agent as. Thats the democratic point of view dan your last response. This is why the president really has no look when you have a divided government theres two tools you can use persuasion to find votes and legislative process or go to executive action. At this point the the democrats have proven unworthy counterparties to any good faith negotiation. Hes got to go to the courts got to be preparing his briefs to get tied up in 9th sir chott it has to get resolved in the court does he have the right to do . Were going find out. Yeah likely find out maybe in three weeks unless democrats and republicans in Conference Committees can can have the same type of debate and come to conclusion that we have here in the the Fox News Channel. Gentlemen, thank you. Thanks eric. Thank you. Fox news alert on crisis in venezuela wrapping emergency meeting secretary of state mike pompeo attending today decision where he called on countries to recognize Opposition Leader juan as the countrys rightful leader.

His win has been widely rejected by the International Community he held the election seven months early and voted turnout less than 50 . Meanwhile, he was declared interim president because of a clause in the constitution that allows temporary power declare new elections if president is not fulfilling basic duties. This morning Venezuela Foreign minister tried to convince security counsel that it was legitimate. Either you stand with forces of freedom, or you lead with him and mayhem.
