LET’S WATCH TOGETHER.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IT’S A GREAT HONOR TO HAVE
NANCY PELOSI WITH US, AND
CHUCK SCHUMER WITH US.
WE HAVE ACTUALLY WORKED VERY
HARD ON A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT
ARE HAPPENING.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, AS YOU
KNOW, WE JUST GOT WORD THAT
MITCH McCONNELL AND THE GROUP
WOULD BE PUTTING IT UP FOR A
VOTE.
WE HAVE GREAT DEMOCRAT SUPPORT,
GREAT REPUBLICAN SUPPORT.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM,
SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO GET -- HOW LONG,
NANCY?
MANY, MANY YEARS.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO BE
PASSING, HOPEFULLY.
FAMOUS LAST WORDS.
ON A VERY BIPARTISAN WAY.
IT’S SOMETHING WE ARE ALL VERY
PROUD OF.
AGAIN, TREMENDOUS SUPPORT FROM
REPUBLICANS AND TREMENDOUS
SUPPORT FROM DEMOCRATS.
ETHIC IT’S GOING TO GET A VERY
GOOD VOTE.
WE WILL SEE SOON ENOUGH.
IT WILL BE UP FOR A VOTE VERY
SHORTLY.
A LOT OF YEARS THEY’VE BEEN
WAITING FOR IT.
THE OTHER THING, THE FARM BILL
IS MOVING ALONG NICELY.
I GUESS THEY WILL BE VOTING ON
FRIDAY OR SO.
PRETTY CLOSE.
WE THINK THE FARM BILL ISN’T
VERY GOOD SHAPE, A LOT OF GOOD
THINGS ARE HAPPENING WITH IT.
OUR FARMERS ARE WELL TAKEN CARE
OF.
AGAIN, THAT WILL BE QUITE
BIPARTISAN.
IT WILL HAPPEN PRETTY SOON.
THEN WE HAVE THE EASY ONE, THE
WALL.
THAT WILL BE THE ONE THAT WILL
BE THE EASIEST OF ALL.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, CHUCK?
>> IT’S CALLED FUNDING THE
GOVERNMENT, MR. PRESIDENT .
>> President Trump: [LAUGHS]
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
IT IS NOT AN EASY SITUATION,
BECAUSE THE PRESIDENTS HAVE A
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A DIFFERENT
VIEW.
WE HAVE GREAT REPUBLICAN
SUPPORT, NOT GRID DEMOCRAT
SUPPORT.
WE’LL SEE -- ONE THING THAT I DO
HAVE TO SAY IS TREMENDOUS
AMOUNTS OF ALL HAVE ALREADY BEEN
BILLED, AND A LOT OF WALL --
WHEN YOU INCLUDE THE RENOVATION
OF EXISTING FENCES AND WALLS,
RENOVATED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT.
WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK.
IN SAN DIEGO WE ARE BUILDING NEW
WALLS RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NEXT TO
SAN DIEGO WE HAVE COMPLETED A
MAJOR SECTION OF WALL.
IT IS REALLY WORKING WELL.
A LOT OF WALL HAS BEEN BUILT.
WE DON’T TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT WE
MIGHT AS WELL START BECAUSE IT
IS BEING BUILT RIGHT NOW.
BIG SECTIONS OF WALL.
WE WILL START DOWN I COULD
CONTINUE THAT.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, IT WILL GET
BILLED.
I WOULD LIKE TO NOT SEE THE
GOVERNMENT CLOSE IN, THE
SHUTDOWN.
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS OVER
THE NEXT SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
THE WALL IS A VERY IMPORTANT
THING TO US.
BORDER SECURITY IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT AND WE HAVE TO TAKE
CARE OF BORDER SECURITY.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THE CARAVANS, WITH THE
PEOPLE, WE SHUT IT DOWN.
WE HAD NO CHOICE, WE SHUT IT
DOWN.
IT COULD BE A LOT EASIER IF WE
HAD REAL BORDER SECURITY.
I JUST WANT TO PAY MY RESPECTS
TO THE BORDER PATROL AGENTS AND
OFFICERS, THEY HAVE BEEN
INCREDIBLE.
THE I.C.E. AGENTS AND OFFICERS
HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE.
VERY IMPORTANTLY, OUR MILITARY.
THE MILITARY WENT IN AND DID AN
INCREDIBLE JOB.
THEY HAVE BEEN REALLY, REALLY
SPECTACULAR.
A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT WANTED
TO COME INTO THE COUNTRY, THEY
WANTED TO COME IN NO MATTER HOW
THEY WANTED TO COME IN --
THEY WANT TO COME IN AND A ROUGH
WAY.
MANY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE LEAVING
AND GOING BACK TO THEIR
COUNTRIES.
HONDURAS, GUATEMALA,
EL SALVADOR, AND OTHER
COUNTRIES.
THEY ARE LEAVING.
YOU NOTICE IT’S GETTING A LOT
LESS CROWDED IN MEXICO.
A LOT OF THEM ARE GOING TO STAY
IN MEXICO, AND THE MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH
US VERY WELL.
SO WE APPRECIATE THAT.
BUT THEY HAVEN’T BEEN COMING
INTO OUR COUNTRY.
WE CAN’T LET PEOPLE COME IN THAT
WAY.
THAT’S PRETTY MUCH IT.
WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE
WALL.
I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT CRIMINAL
JUSTICE REFORM, JUST TO LET YOU
KNOW HOW POSITIVE THAT IS.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE FARM
BILL, HOW POSITIVE THAT IS.
AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
WALL.
I WILL TELL YOU, IT’S A TOUGH
ISSUE BECAUSE WE ARE ON VERY
OPPOSITE SIDES OF --
I REALLY THINK I CAN SAY BORDER
SECURITY, BUT CERTAINLY, THE
WALL.
THE WALL WILL GET BUILT.
A LOT OF IT IS BUILT, IT WILL BE
VERY EFFECTIVE.
I ASKED FOR A COUPLE OF NOTES ON
THAT.
IF YOU LOOK AT SAN DIEGO,
ILLEGAL TRAFFIC DROPPED 92% ONCE
THE WALL WAS UP.
EL PASO -- ILLEGAL TRAFFIC
DROPPED 73%, AND ULTIMATELY 95%
ONCE THE WALL WAS UP.
IN TUCSON, ARIZONA, ILLEGAL
TRAFFIC DROPPED 92%.
YUMA, THEY DROPPED ILLEGAL
TRAFFIC 95-96%.
WHEN I SAY "DROPPED," THE ONLY
REASON WE EVEN HAVE ANY
PERCENTAGE WHERE PEOPLE GOT
THROUGH IS BECAUSE THEY WALK AND
GO AROUND AREAS THAT AREN’T
BUILT.
IT DROPPED VIRTUALLY 100% IN THE
AREAS WHERE THE WALL IS.
IT’S VERY EFFECTIVE.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO FIND OUT
HOW EFFECTIVE YOU WALL IS, JUST
ASK ISRAEL.
99.9% EFFECTIVE.
OUR WALL WILL BE EVERY BIT AS
GOOD AS THAT, IF NOT BETTER.
WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK ON
THE WALL, A LOT OF WALL IS
BUILT, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T
KNOW THAT.
A LOT IS RENOVATED.
WE HAD WALLS IN VERY BAD
CONDITION THAT ARE NOW IN A ONE,
TIP-TOP SHAPE.
FRANKLY, SOME WALL HAS BEEN
REINFORCED BY THE MILITARY.
THEY’VE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB.
THEY -- WE MAY NOT HAVE AN
AGREEMENT TODAY.
WE PROBABLY WON’T.
BUT WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT ON
OTHER THINGS THAT ARE REALLY
GOOD.
NANCY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY
SOMETHING?
>> WELL, THANK YOU,
MR. PRESIDENT.
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH
YOU SO THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH
YOU SO THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
IN A BIPARTISAN WAY TO MEET THE
NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
RECOGNIZE THAT WE MUST KEEP THE
GOVERNMENT OPEN.
THAT A SHUT DOWN IS NOT WORTH
ANYTHING, AND THAT WE SHOULD NOT
HAVE A SHUT DOWN.
YOU HAVE THE WHITE HOUSE, YOU
HAVE THE SENATE, YOU HAVE THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, YOU
HAVE --
>> President Trump: WE DON’T
HAVE THE VOTES, NANCY.
WE DON’T HAVE IT IN THE SENATE.
WE NEED SIX VOTES.
EXCUSE ME.
I CAN’T GET IT PASSED IN THE
HOUSE IF IT’S NOT GRID GOIG
HOUSE IF IT’S NOT GRID GOIT
HOUSE IF IT’S NOT GRID GOI
HOUSE IF IT’S NOT GRID GOIA
HOUSE IF IT’S NOT GRID GOIS
IN THE SENATE.
I DON’T WANT TO WASTE TIME.
>> WE CAN START THAT WAY.
>> President Trump: THE HOUSE
WE CAN PASS EASILY.
NBD.
THE PROBLEM IS THE SENATE,
BECAUSE WE NEED TEN DEMOCRATS TO
VOTE AND THEY WON’T VOTE.
>> THE POINT IS THEIR EQUITIES
TO BE WEIGHED.
THE FACT IS, THE HOUSE
REPUBLICANS COULD BRING UP THIS
BILL IF THEY HAD THE VOTES
IMMEDIATELY AND SET THE TONE FOR
WHAT YOU WANT.
>> President Trump: WE THOUGHT
WE WOULD GET IT PASSED IN THE
SENATE NANCY, WE WOULD DO IT
MUTELY.
WE CAN GET A PASTOR EASILY IN
HOUSE.
NANCY, I WILL HAVE IT PASSED IN
TWO SECONDS.
IT DOESN’T MATTER, THOUGH,
BECAUSE YOU CAN’T GET IT PASSED
IN THE SENATE BECAUSE WE NEED
TEN DEMOCRATS VOTE.
>> AGAIN, LET US HAVE OUR
CONVERSATION.
THE FACT IS, LEGISLATING --
WHICH IS WHAT WE DO -- YOU BEGIN
TO MAKE YOUR POINT TO STATE YOUR WHICH IS WHAT WE DO -- YOU BEGIN
TO MAKE YOUR POINT TO STATE YOUR
CASE.
THAT’S WHAT THE HOUSE
REPUBLICANS WILL DO.
THERE ARE NO VOTES IN THE HOUSE,
A MAJORITY OF VOTES, FOR A WILD. THERE ARE NO VOTES IN THE HOUSE,
A MAJORITY OF VOTES, FOR A WILD.
NO MATTER WHERE YOU --
>> President Trump: IF I
NEEDED THE VOTES FOR THE BALL IN
THE HOUSE, I WOULD HAVE IT IN
ONE SESSION.
IT WOULD BE DONE.
IT WOULDN’T HELP BECAUSE WE NEED
TEN IN THE SENATE.
LET ME ASK YOU THIS -- WE ARE
DOING THIS IN A VERY FRIENDLY
MANNER.
IT DOESN’T HELP FOR ME TO TAKE A
VOTE IN THE HOUSE WHERE I WILL
WIN EASILY WITH THE REPUBLICANS.
IT DOESN’T HELP TO TAKE THAT
VOTE BECAUSE I’M NOT GOING TO
GET THE VOTE OF THE SENATE.
I NEED TEN SENATORS.
THAT’S THE PROBLEM.
>> YOU HAVE THE WHITE HOUSE, YOU
HAVE THE SENATE --
>> President Trump: I HAVE THE
WHITE HOUSE.
THE WHITE HOUSE IS DONE.
THE HOUSE WOULD GIVE ME THE VOTE
IF I WANTED IT.
BUT I CAN’T BECAUSE I NEED --
NANCY, I NEED TEN VOTES FROM
CHUCK.
>> LET ME SAY SOMETHING HERE.
>> LET ME SAY ONE THING.
THE FACT IS, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE
VOTES IN THE HOUSE.
>> President Trump: NANCY, I
DO.
WE NEED BOARD SECURITY.
NANCY, NANCY.
WE NEED BORDER SECURITY.
NEED BORDER SECURITY.
PEOPLE ARE FLOWING INTO OUR
COUNTRY, INCLUDING TERRORISTS.
WE HAVE TERRORISTS.
WE CAUGHT TEN TERRORISTS OVER
THE LAST FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF
TIME.
TEN.
THESE ARE VERY SERIOUS PEOPLE.
OUR BORDER AGENTS, ALL OF OUR
LAW ENFORCEMENT, HAS BEEN
INCREDIBLE WHAT THEY’VE DONE.
BUT WE HAVE CAUGHT TEN
TERRORISTS.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING
TO DO HARM.
WE NEED THE WALL.
WE NEED IT MORE THAN ANYTHING.
WE NEED BORDER SECURITY, OF
WHICH THE WALL IS JUST A PIECE.
CHUCK, DID YOU WANT TO SAY
SOMETHING CUESTA MEXICO HERE’S
WHAT I WANT TO SAY -- WE HAVE A
LOT OF DISAGREEMENTS HERE.
"THE WASHINGTON POST" HERE GIVE
YOU A WHOLE LOT OF PINOCCHIO’S
BECAUSE THEY SAY YOU CONSTANTLY
MISSTATE HOW MUCH OF THE WALL IS
BUILT AND HOW MUCH IS THERE.
BUT THAT’S NOT THE POINT.
WE HAVE A DISAGREE BIT ABOUT THE
WALL.
WHETHER IT’S EFFECTIVE OR NOT.
NOT ON BORDER SECURITY, BUT THE
WALL.
WE DO NOT WANT TO SHUT DOWN THE
GOVERNMENT.
YOU WERE CALLED AT 20 TIMES TO
SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.
YOU SAID "I WANT TO SHUT DOWN
THE GOVERNMENT."
WE DON’T.
WE WANT TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT.
IF WE CAN’T COME TO AN
AGREEMENT, WE HAVE SOLUTIONS
THAT WILL PASS THE HOUSE AND
SENATE RIGHT NOW.
AND WILL NOT CHIDE THE
GOVERNMENT.
THAT’S WHAT WE’D WANT YOU TO DO.
NOT TO THREATEN TO SHUT DOWN THE THAT’S WHAT WE’D WANT YOU TO DO.
NOT TO THREATEN TO SHUT DOWN THE
GOVERNMENT.
LET ME FINISH.
BECAUSE YOU CAN’T GET YOUR WAY.
LET ME SAY SOMETHING,
MR. PRESIDENT .
YOU SAY "MY WAY, OR WE WILL SHUT
DOWN THE GOVERNMENT."
WE HAVE A PROPOSAL WITH
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, THAT
THEY WILL SUPPORT, TO DO A CR
THAT WILL NOT SHUT DOWN THE
GOVERNMENT.
WE URGE YOU TO TAKE IT.
>> President Trump: AND IF
IT’S NOT GOOD BORDER SECURITY, I
WON’T TAKE IT.
IF IT’S NOT GOOD BORDER
SECURITY, I WON’T TAKE IT.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS
OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR
BORDER SECURITY, AND WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THE JOB THAT WE ARE
DOING --
>> President Trump: CAN I TELL
>> BUT YOU SAID IT IS EFFECTIVE.
YOU SOMETHING?
>> YOU JUST SAID EFFECTIVE.
>> President Trump: WITHOUT A
WALL THESE ARE ONLY AREAS WHERE
YOU HAVE THE WALL.
WHEN YOU HAVE WALLS, CHUCK, IT’S
EFFECTIVE.
WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE WALLS, IT IS
NOT EFFECTIVE.
>> YES.
>> LET’S CALL A HALT TO THIS.
WE COME HERE AS THE FIRST BRANCH
OF GOVERNMENT.
ARTICLE ONE, THE LEGISLATIVE
BRANCH.
WE ARE COMING IN IN GOOD FAITH
TO NEGOTIATE WITH YOU ABOUT HOW
WE CAN KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OPEN.
>> President Trump: WE ARE
GOING TO KEEP IT OPEN IF WE HAVE
BORDER SECURITY.
IF WE DON’T HAVE BORDER SECURITY
WE AREN’T GOING TO KEEP IT OPEN. IF WE DON’T HAVE BORDER SECURITY
WE AREN’T GOING TO KEEP IT OPEN.
>> I’M WITH YOU.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE BORDER
SECURITY.
>> YOU ARE BRAGGING ABOUT WHAT
HAS BEEN DONE.
WHAT WE WANT TO DO, THE SAME
THING THAT WE DID LAST YEAR THIS
YEAR.
THAT IS OUR PROPOSAL.
IF IT’S GOOD THEN, IT’S GOOD
NOW, AND IT WON’T SHUT DOWN THE
GOVERNMENT.
>> President Trump: CHUCK, WE
CAN BIG A MUCH BIGGER SECTION
WITH THE MONEY.
>> LET’S DEBATE IN PRIVATE.
OKAY?
>> IT’S FRANKLY A FAX.
>> WE NEED BOARD TO SECURE TO
COME I THINK WE ALL AGREE THAT
WE NEED BORDER SECURITY.
WE DO.
>> President Trump: SEE?
WE GET ALONG.
THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.
>> YOU SAY BORDER SECURITY AND
THE BALL.
CAN YOU HAVE BORDER SECURITY
WITHOUT THE WALL?
>> President Trump: YOU NEED
THE WALL.
THE WALL IS PART OF BORDER
SECURITY.
WE NEED BORDER SECURITY, THE
WALL IS A PART OF BORDER
SECURITY.
YOU CAN’T HAVE VERY GOOD BORDER
SECURITY WITHOUT THE WALL.
>> NOT TRUE.
THAT IS A POLITICAL PROMISE.
BORDER SECURITY IS A WAY TO
EFFECTIVELY HONOR OUR --
>> THE EXPERT SO YOU CAN DO
BORDER SECURITY WITHOUT A WALL,
WHICH IS WASTEFUL AND DOESN’T
SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
>> President Trump: IT TOTALLY
SOLVES THE PROBLEM.
IT’S VERY --
>> THIS IS VITAL DAMAGE, WE ARE
AT A PLACE TO SAY --
THEY HAVE NEEDS.
THEIR JOBS, THE MARKET IS IN A
THE ECONOMY -- PEOPLE ARE LOSING
MOVE.
OUR MEMBERS --
>> WE HAVE THE LOWEST ON
DEPLOYMENT WE’VE HAD IN 50
YEARS.
>> PEOPLE IN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY ARE LOSING THEIR OFFICES
NOW BECAUSE OF THE TRANSITION.
PEOPLE ARE NOT --
RESNICK NANCY, WE GAINED IN THE
SENATE.
EXCUSE ME, DID WE WIN THE
SENATE?
WE WON THE SENATE.
>> WHEN THE PRESIDENT BRAGS THAT
HE’S IN REAL TROUBLE.
HE WON NORTH DAKOTA AND INDIANA,
>> President Trump: I DID.
WE DID WIN THEM.
>> WE CAME IN HERE IN GOOD FAITH
>> WE CAME IN HERE IN GOOD FAIT
FAITH.
WE ENTERED INTO A DISCUSSION IN
THE PUBLIC VIEW.
>> President Trump: IT’S
CALLED TRANSPARENCY.
>> IT’S NOT TRANSPARENCY WHEN WE
ARE NOT STICKING TO A SET OF
FACTS.
WHEN WE WANT TO HAVE A DEBATE
WITH YOU, WE CONFRONT THEM.
>> President Trump: YOU KNOW
WHAT?
WE NEED BORDER SECURITY.
THAT’S WHAT WE WILL BE TALKING
ABOUT.
BORDER SECURITY.
IF WE DON’T HAVE BORDER
SECURITY, WE WILL SHUT DOWN THE
GOVERNMENT.
THIS COUNTRY NEEDS BORDER
SECURITY.
THE WALL AS A PART OF BORDER
SECURITY PRAY LET’S HAVE A TALK.
WE ARE GOING TO GET THE WALL
BUILT, AND WE HAVE GOT A LOT OF
WALL ALREADY.
IT’S A BIG PART OF IT.
WE NEED TO HAVE EFFECTIVE BORDER
SECURITY.
WE NEED A WALL IN CERTAIN PARTS.
NO, NOT IN ALL PARTS, BUT IN
CERTAIN PARTS OF A 2000--MILE
BORDER.
WE NEED A WALL.
>> HOW MUCH MONEY?
>> President Trump: WE ARE
DOING IT MUCH UNDER BUDGET.
ACTUALLY WE ARE WAY UNDER BUDGET
ON THE AREAS THAT WE HAVE
RENOVATED, AND AREAS THAT WE
HAVE BUILT.
I WOULD SAY, IF WE HAVE
$5 BILLION, WE WOULD DO A
TREMENDOUS CHUNK OF WALL.
WE ARE GOING TO SEE.
THIS ISN’T A QUESTION, THIS IS A
NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
DRUGS ARE POURING INTO OUR
COUNTRY.
PEOPLE WITH TREMENDOUS MEDICAL
DIFFICULTY AND MEDICAL PROBLEMS
ARE POURING IN, AND IN MANY
CASES, IT’S CONTAGIOUS.
THEY ARE POURING INTO OUR
COUNTRY.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A WALL AS PART
WE HAVE TO HAVE BORDER SECURITY.
OF BORDER SECURITY.
I DON’T THINK WE REALLY DISAGREE
SO MUCH.
I ALSO KNOW THAT -- YOU KNOW,
NANCY IS IN A SITUATION WHERE
IT’S NOT EASY FOR HER TO TALK
RIGHT NOW.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.
I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD
DISCUSSION, AND WE WILL SEE WHAT
HAPPENS.
BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE BORDER
SECURITY.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, PLEASE DON’T
CHARACTERIZE WHAT I BRING TO
THIS MEETING AS THE LEADER OF
THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS.
>> ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENTLY,
MR. PRESIDENT.
>> President Trump: AND THAT’S
WHY THE COUNTRY IS DOING SO
WELL.
>> THE PRESIDENT IS
REPRESENTATIVE OF --
WE HAVE TO HAVE AN
EVIDENCE-BASED CONVERSATION
ABOUT WHAT DOES WORK, WHAT
NORMALLY HAS BEEN SPENT, AND HOW
EFFECTIVE IT IS.
THIS IS ABOUT OUR COUNTRY,
TAKING OATH TO DEFEND.
WE DON’T WANT TO HAVE THAT
MISCHARACTERIZED BY 91.
>> President Trump: NO, I
AGREE WITH THAT.
>> LET US HAVE A CONVERSATION WE
DON’T HAVE TO CONTRADICT IN
PUBLIC THE STATISTICS THAT YOU
PUT FORTH.
SO WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION
ABOUT WHAT WE REALLY --
WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE
FROM US IN THESE UNCERTAIN TIMES WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE
FROM US IN THESE UNCERTAIN TIMES
IN THEIR LIVES.
>> ONE THING I THINK WE CAN
AGREE ON IS THAT WE SHOULDN’T
SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT OVER A
DISPUTE.
YOU WANT TO SHUT IT DOWN, YOU
KEEP TALKING ABOUT.
>> President Trump: THE LAST
TIME, CHUCK, YOU SHUT IT DOWN.
>> I DON’T WANT TO DO WHAT YOU
DID.
20 TIMES YOU ARE CALLED FOR IT,
YOU SAID "I WILL SHUT DOWN THE
GOVERNMENT IF I DON’T GET MY
WALL."
YOU HAVE SAID IT.
>> President Trump: YOU WANT
TO KNOW SOMETHING QUESTION
McKAY WILL TAKE IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I WILL SAY?
YES.
IF WE DON’T GET WHAT WE WANT,
WHEN WE ARE THE OTHER, WHETHER
IT’S THE MILITARY OR ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO CALL, I WILL SHUT
DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.
I AM PROUD.
>> WHEAT DISAGREE.
>> President Trump: I AM PROUD
TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT FOR
BORDER SECURITY, CHUCK.
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY DON’T
WANT CRIMINALS AND PEOPLE THAT
HAVE LOTS OF PROBLEMS AND DRUGS
POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY.
I WILL TAKE THE MANTLE.
I WILL BE THE ONE TO SHUT IT
DOWN.
I WON’T BLAME YOU FOR IT.
THE LAST TIME, YOU SHUT IT DOWN.
IT DIDN’T WORK.
I WILL TAKE THE MANTLE OF
SHUTTING IT DOWN.
I’M GOING TO SHUT IT DOWN FOR
BORDER SECURITY.
>> BUT WE BELIEVE YOU SHOULDN’T
SHUT IT DOWN.
>> President Trump: THINK YOU
VERY MUCH, EVERYBODY.
[REPORTERS YELLING QUESTIONS]
A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT KNOW CHUCK
AND NANCY VERY WELL WANT TO.
WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WANT
THE JOB OF CHIEF OF STAFF.
WE WILL BE SEEING WHAT HAPPENS
VERY SOON.
WE ARE IN NO RUSH.
NO RUSH.
WHY?
BECAUSE WE HAVE A WONDERFUL
CHIEF OF STAFF RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE IN NO RUSH.
OVER A PERIOD OF A WEEK OR TWO,
MAYBE LESS, WILL ANNOUNCE WHO
IT’S GOING TO BE.
