They`re having a negotiation over it in there. PELOSI: We`re not having a negotiation over this right now. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Even if it includes border wall money though? PELOSI: Well, if they come up with a bipartisan consensus, of course. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Are you committed to bring that to the floor? For a vote? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You have not been clear. NANCY PELOSI, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE: Have I not been clear on a wall? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Are you no longer ruling out any money for the wall? Are you now open for money for the wall? Of course, some of this is thanks to Nancy Pelosi who refuses to cave to Trump`s funding demands for the wall. The president is claiming he has money for a wall that he doesn`t have and claiming that that same wall is being built when it is not. In fact, Congressional negotiators are working right now to figure out how to avoid a second shutdown. That was the reason for the government shutdown. Congress has not authorized any new funds for the border wall. TRUMP: Well, we have a lot of money and that`s why we`re building it. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Have you found the money to build the wall and if you do that. He also falsely claimed today that he has the money to build his wall. Back to the other universe that the president is living in. Second, if the wall was being built as the president claims, why did he shut the government down for 35 days? What was the point of the shutdown if the border wall was already under construction? OK. That`s the number of miles of wall that have been built. We stretched our graphic staff tonight to show you this. No new sections of the border wall have been built or are being built. We`re building a wall and we`re building a lot of wall. We haven`t declared a national emergency, yet we`re building a lot of wall. The chant now should be finish the wall as opposed to build the wall because we`re building a lot of wall. In the Oval Office today, President Trump actually tried to claim, falsely, that his wall is already being built.ĭONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We`re building a lot of wall right now as we speak. And so it seems that the president is OK with simply pretending to have a wall. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said repeatedly and unequivocally that she will not give him the money he wants to build his wall. The president of the United States is living in an alternate universe with this border wall. VELSHI: I`m Ali Velshi, in for Lawrence O`Donnell.
