She will say, mr. president, please, please give us a wall. >> the president tweeted yesterday a wall is a wall. again, if there's going to agreement, it's going to be around that word. what word can they agree on. signaling he's serious about the possibility of declaring a national emergency. we know the white house counsel has been working on the paperwork. i spoke with the adviser kellyanne conway about it and she underscored this is a very serious possibility. the president will face legal challenges if he does that. but to some extent politically it would be' w a win for him. why? because...

What do they include? again, it's not a wall or a free for all. they have a significant plan here. >> that's right. house democrats released their opening offer yesterday. i'm looking at my copy of it. $55.8 billion for the department of homeland security overall. significant investments for board are security in a number of ways. i.c.e. agents, i.c.e. attorneys. there's $500 million for humanitarian aid at the border. there's $675 million for what they call nonintrusive scans, technology, to be used at ports of entry like those that can help do drug busts like we saw reported yesterday. what ...
