Our reporting begins with week three of the partial Government Shutdown. No end in sight, at least for now. President trump now announcing hell give a televised speech tomorrow night. Hes ask broadcast networks for time. We dont know yet whether theyve agreed. In that speech, we could hear more about his threat to declare a National Emergency so he can build a barrier without congressional approval we have to have Border Security. Were it could get worse and worse. Shepard a move around congress will be challenged this court. Democrats are promising a fight. In this case, i think the president will be wide open to a court challenge. Where is the emergency. You have to establish that in order to do this. Beyond that, this will be a terrible use of department of defense dollars. Shepard the president announced today hell visit the southern border this thursday and hes not budging on more than 5 billion in money to build the beginning of that wall. He did say he would build a steel barrier instead of a concrete one. Some democrats say a boarder wall not only goes against all of American Values its also not going to work. They say they support other forms of Border Security and are willing to give some money for it. Now with democrats in control of the house of representatives, theyre planning to vote this week on bills to reopen all government agencies. If the white house and the congress cant come up with some sort of agreement, hundreds of thousands of federal workers may not get paychecks again on friday. Now, team fox coverage. The chief correspondent michael manual reporting from capitol hill. First john roberts. Reporter good afternoon. Weve learned that the address that the president plans to give will be from the oval office. It will mark the first time that he has addressed the nation in prime time from the oval office. That adds lot of weight to it. A prime time address from the oval office does carry for the president of the United States a lot more weight. The president will be making the argument about a border barrier on humanitarian and National Security grounds. The president tweeted about that just a short time ago over the weekend, he frequentsly used the word crisis to describe what is going on with the border. Difficult to see how this impasse is going to end. One side or the other would have to cave or the president may try to act unilaterally. He made it clear in a letter to the chairman of the Senate Appropriations committee, Richard Shelby of alabama what he wants. The president saying he request 5. 7 billion for construction of a steel barrier of the southwest border. The administration full request will Fund Construction of approximately 234 miles of new physical barrier. The president also tried to take away an argument from democrats. They have imposed since the campaign against this idea of concrete wall. The president saying we will not talk about a concrete wall well talk about a steel slat wall. The president making the point on several occasions that he may just try to do this by himself by declaring a National Emergency. Listen to what the president said. Were looking at a National Emergency because we have a National Emergency. Just read the papers. We have a crises at the border of drugs, human beings being traffic all over the world. They dont like concrete, well give them steel. Steel is fine. Steel is actually more expensive than concrete. It will look beautiful and its strong. Reporter the democrats pushing back against the president s idea declaring National Emergency. Congressman castro and jared nadler holding a press conference. We would certainly oppose any attempt by the president to make himself a king and a tyrant by saying they can appropriate money without congress. That is perhaps, the most dangerous thing he is talking about since he became president. Reporter lot of moving pieces. Only thing thats clear is both sides got their heels firmly dug in. Shepard theres a travel more on the travel plan to the southern border. Lot of his supporters have been urging him to sell this harder. Reporter hell be congress that. Hell be traveling to mcallen, texas hidalgo, north of the mexican city. Right in the heart of the rio grand valley. Theres about four miles of border fence there right now. Its right by the Border Crossing there in hidalgo. Thats an order where border fence doesnt work. What the president is going to do is go down there, talk about the crises, highlight what i. C. E. Is doing. Where hes talking about building the fence is southwest United States, new mexico, arizona and california. We said it many time, you cant build a fence right along the river there. You cant build it in the middle of the river. He doesnt want it there. He wants it elsewhere. Shepard mexico will pay for it is promise thing of the past. Just for context, the president as far as the broadcast network, last time i can find anything sort of like this was 2014. President obama had asked for some time to talk on the networks regarding some executive action that he was going to take on immigration and all four of the broadcast networks, fox included, said no were not going to do it. Well stay with prime time programming and cable news networks. Ran it. Theres no decisions from the four broadcast networks including fox broadcast network. If that changes well let you know. Team fox continues. Michael manual live up on capitol hill. Hello mike. Reporter some democrats trying to turn up the pressure on mitch mcconnell.

Hes saying oim im out of im out of this. President trump is so right in Standing Firm with millions of americans who are saying, lets solve this issue. Leader mcconnell is correct to say, were not going to take up something in the Senate Unless it includes border wall funding. Reporter leader mcconnell felt burned by having the senate vote for the extension right before christmas that would have kept things going to february 8th. Shepard there was a bipartisan plan to reopen the government. I mean in the house, republicans and democrats in the senate, republicans and democrats, theres plan. Its not going anywhere right . Reporter youre right. Next play from House Democrats theyll vote on these individual funding bills to reopen individual agencies of the federal government and bottom line, they trying to turn up the pressure with one key democrat, the House Armed Services chairman saying, this warning to President Trump i think will be huge nost declare a National Emergency. Theres no National Emergency. Thats what underline this issue. We have spent an enormous amount of money on Border Security. Weve built a wall over a good portion of the border long before President Trump got in office. Reporter on the other side, a key House Republican said Speaker Nancy Pelosi has gone way too far with her argument i was struck this week when Speaker Pelosi said this was a moral issue. We have some sort of barrier across 30 of the border to go to 40 is a moral issue . It tells me this is politics. Reporter it maybe day 17, both sides are divided.

Case in point here, President Trumps National Security advisor john bolton is contradicting President Trumps comments about military action in syria. Bolton said United States troop will not leave the country until isis is destroyed and until kurdish allies have protection. Remember the last we heard from the president he announced on getter, that American Forces have defeated isis in syria and u. S. Will begin withdrawing troops. He said they will do it quickly and completely. Some lawmakers from both parties criticized the decision. It led to the resignation of defense secretary jim mattis right after the president said all troops out immediately. He left. The President Trump talked about his decision to withdraw troops from syria. Claiming i never said we were doing it quickly. But of course he did. Is the state Department Correspondent reporting live on this. Whats the time line on two troop withdrawal now . Reporter the Administration Says its pursuing an orderly withdrawal from syria. Its unclear how long that will take and when or if it continues 2000 troop will leave. The president announced this withdrawal, he said that theyre coming back and theyre coming back now.

With that, the National Security advisor john bolton reassuring allies about this withdrawal were going to be discussing the president s decision to withdraw. But to do so from northeast syria in a way that makes sure that isis is defeated and not able to revive itself and become a threat again. Reporter Lindsey Graham said the administration and the president assured him that the u. S. Would make sure that its withdrawal, it would protect against iran filling in the void that was left from u. S. Troops leaving. Shepard the initial concern was the curds who fought with us in war after war will be left there to be slaughtered. Now theres some negotiation about protecting the kurdish soldiers . Reporter thats right. This is what the National Security advisor saying. The United States will safeguard those who fought alongside u. S. Troops to help fight isis and fight other terrorist organizations. Thats essentially the kurds there. The u. S. Considers them an ally. The turkish government said those Kurdish Force are the terrorist organization, the National Security advisor will be meet with the turkish president in week. A spokesperson for the president , to argue that a terrorist organization represents kurds is above all disrespectful to our kurdish brothers. Theres no doubt that a terror group cannot be a ally of the u. S. Atop of these discussions the wall street journal reporting that the turkish government is requesting substantial aid from the United States. They want help from the u. S. To pick up the fighting. Shepard thank you.
