00:00partial shutdown over DHS funding has the president personally spoken to the
00:05Democratic leaders in Congress can we expect to see them at the White House to
00:08try to make a deal on this not to my knowledge he hasn't had any direct
00:12conversation or correspondence with Democrat lawmakers recently it doesn't
00:16mean he's not willing to I'm just not aware of any conversations that have
00:19taken place I do know the White House and the president's representatives have
00:24been in direct conversations with both Democrats and Republicans but of course
00:28Democrats are the reason that the Department of Homeland Security is
00:31currently shut down they have chosen to act against the American people for
00:36political reasons and now we have FEMA workers the men and women of the United
00:40States Coast Guard men and women of TSA who keep our airports moving who will be
00:45working without paychecks for no good reason other than the Democrats wanting
00:50to pick a fight with Donald Trump and the president thinks that is irresponsible
00:53and despicable he wants the government to be open we've been been engaged in
00:57good-faith negotiations with the Democrats last night they sent over a
01:02counter-proposal that frankly was very unserious and we hope they get serious
01:05very soon because Americans are going to be impacted by this
