>> CORRECT.
>> Bill: CATHERINE, WE WILL BE
WITH YOU FOR HOURS, SO STAND BY.
>> Sandra: NEW REACTION FROM
THE WHITE HOUSE.
KEVIN CORKE'S LIFE FROM THE
NORTH LAWN ON THIS FRIDAY
MORNING.
KEVIN, WHAT ARE YOU HEARING?
>> IN THE MOST 2019 THING EVER,
WE ARE WATCHING TWITTER VERY
CAREFULLY TO SEE IF IF THE
PRESIDENT HAS ANYTHING TO SAY,
ALTHOUGH HE HAS REPEATEDLY AND
VEHEMENTLY POINTED OUT THAT
THERE WAS APSLEY NO COORDINATION
AND NO COLLUSION BETWEEN THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA.
BUT YES, WE CONTINUE TO WATCH
TWITTER.
IF WE SEE SOMETHING, I PROMISE
TO SAY SOMETHING.
THIS ALL GOES BACK TO THIS IDEA
THAT ROGER STONE IS A PROXY FOR
WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE AT THE
WHITE HOUSE FEEL IS SIMPLY A
CHANCE TO GO AFTER THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN.
AGAIN, THE SPECIAL COUNSEL IS
LOOKING INTO COLLUSION BETWEEN
THE CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA.
DID IT HAPPEN?
WELL, THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID
REPEATEDLY NOW.
THAT SAID, THERE ARE QUESTIONS
SURROUNDING STONE, THE CAMPAIGN
ADVISOR, MAINLY HAS ALLEGED
CONTACT WITH THE PURVEYOR OF
WIKILEAKS, AS YOU HEARD
CATHERINE REPORTED MOMENTS AGO.
THE CURIOUSLY TIMED EMAIL JUMPS
APPEAR TO HAVE HELPED THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN IN 2016.
HERE IS SARAH SANDERS.
>> MY FIRST REACTION IS REAL
SIMPLE.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
PRESIDENT AND CERTAINLY NOTHING
TO DO WITH THE WHITE HOUSE.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO
SOLELY WITHOUT INDIVIDUAL, NOT
SOMETHING THAT AFFECTS US HERE
IN THIS BUILDING.
>> I WANT TO SHARE A TREAT
BECAUSE I THINK YOU WILL FIND IT
INTERESTING.
THE PRESIDENT SAID BACK ON THE
THIRD OF DECEMBER ABOUT ROGER
STONE "I WILL NEVER TESTIFY
AGAINST TRUMP."
HE WILL NOT BE FORCED BY ROGUE
AND OUT-OF-CONTROL PROSECUTOR TO
MAKE UP LIES AND STORIES ABOUT
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
NICE TO KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE
STILL HAVE GUTS.
OF COURSE AS YOU ALL KNOW AT
HOME AND IN THE STUDIO, THIS IS
JUST THE LATEST IN AN
EVER-EXPANDING STRING OF
INDIVIDUALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN, OR IN THE TRUMP
ORBIT, IF YOU WILL, WHO HAVE
BEEN INDICTED OR ARRESTED.
>> Sandra: YOU KEEP TRACK OF
IT ALL FOR US AS WE AWAIT
DEVELOPMENTS.
AT THE SHUTDOWN CONTINUES,
KEVIN, AND THERE ARE NEW REPORTS
THAT THE PRESIDENT MAY HAVE A
BACKUP PLAN.
>> YET, THIS IS INTERESTING HERE
LET ME JUST PUT IT THIS WAY IF
YOU ARE THERE IS A LOT OF
TRANSACTIONAL BEHAVIOR IN
WASHINGTON, BUT YOU WANT SOMEONE
TO BE TRANSFORMATIONAL.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS IDEA OF
MAYBE CALLING FOR A NATIONAL
EMERGENCY AS BEING MORE
TRANSFORMATIONAL, RATHER THAN
STRICTLY TRANSACTIONAL.
HERE'S THE IDEA BEHIND IT.
AND THIS IS CYNICAL, POLITICAL,
BUT CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY.
THE PRESIDENT HAS MADE A FEW
OFFERS THAT CONGRESS HAS
REJECTED.
A FEW VOTES IN CONGRESS, AND
THOSE FIELD.
NOW, IT'S POSSIBLE, CERTAINLY
POSSIBLE HE COULD TRY TO SOLVE
THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS BY WAY
OF CALLING FOR A NATIONAL
EMERGENCY.
THAT WOULD ELIMINATE THE
PROBLEMS OVER ON CAPITOL HILL.
HERE'S THE PRESIDENT AND KELLY
AND
KELLYANNE CONWAY.
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF ALTERNATIVE
ALTERNATIVES.
EVERYBODY -- LOOK -- FOR THE
MOST PART, EVERYBODY AGREES WHEN
I SAY EVERYBODY, I WOULD SAY
ALMOST EVERYBODY.
WE HAVE TO HAVE BORDER SECURITY.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A WALL.
>> THE PRESIDENT HAS ALWAYS SAID
THAT HE HAS THAT AS AN OPTION.
HE HAS NOT EXECUTED ON THAT
OPTION BECAUSE HE WOULD LIKE TO
WORK THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.
>> HE LIKED TO LET THE PROCESS
WORK ITSELF OUT, BUT
NANCY PELOSI REACTED YESTERDAY,
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THAT THE
PRESIDENT WOULD POSSIBLY
CONSIDER A SPENDING BILL IF THE
HOUSE WERE TO PUT DOWN A BIT OF
A DOWN PAYMENT ON A BORDER
BARRIER.
>> I HOPE THAT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
SOMETHING --
>> A DOWN PAYMENT FOR THE WALL.
>> THAT IS NOT A REASONABLE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN SENATORS.
