FINALLY! Trump ANNOUNCED THIS Over BORDER WALL FUNDING! READY For SHUTDOWN
thank you very much I appreciate everybody being here we've had a very
busy two or three days it's been very positive things are happening that
haven't happened in our government for a long time the other night as you know we
had a boat on border security and I didn't we want to discuss this just for
a second but the House of Representatives voted 217 to 185
approving strong border security and the money necessary and take care of the
barrier wall or steel slaps whatever you want to call it it's all the same and it
was a tremendous evening for the Republicans to be honest with you
because the level of spirit the level of happiness a lot of people came out they
said they had never seen one minute particularly he's been there for over 20
years he said I've never seen spirit or enthusiasm like this they came from all
parts of the country a couple of them came from other parts outside so I say
all parts of the world in order to vote and they voted and it was an incredible
and we were told that you would never get the house to vote
able to get the house to vote and it wasn't that we did it they did it they
were incredible so I want to thank in this case house Republicans because what
they did was rather incredible do and now the Senate is looking at it we just
had a meeting with some of our great senator Republicans and lasted for a
long time tremendous enthusiasm for border security and I think I could
speak for them very strongly when I say they want to see something happen on
border security they want the security of safety they want safety for our
country drugs are poor again and we've done an
incredible job considering we have no barrier when drugs are pouring into our
country human trafficking is at the all-time worst in history because of the
internet and the human trafficking problem is a problem that has gone on
through the ages but it's never been worse because of the internet all over
the world this isn't the United States is is all over the world so we need
border security and the Republicans in the Senate as you know are taking it up
today and it's really up to the Democrats totally up to the Democrats as
to whether or not we ever shut down it's possible that we'll have a shutdown I
would say the chances are probably very good because I don't think Democrats
care so much about maybe this issue but this is a very big issue it's an issue
of crime it's an issue of safety it's an issue of least importantly dollars spend
two hundred eighty five billion dollars a year on illegal immigration we have to
finally do it the wall will pay for itself on a monthly basis I mean
literally every month it pays for itself so we're talking about small amounts of
money think of it we approved and we got good Democrat support military last you
seven billion dollars recently 716 billion dollars for the military and
they were talking about five billion dollars so it's a tiny fraction but
unfortunately they've devoted their lives to making sure it doesn't happen
and that wasn't what should happen that was for political reasons so we are
going to be working very hard to get something passed in the Senate there's a
very good chance it won't get passed it's up to the Democrats so it's really
the Democrats shutdown because we've done our thing when Nancy Pelosi said
you'll never get the votes in the house we got them and we got to by a big
margin 217 to 185 so now it's up to the Democrats as to whether or not we have a
shutdown tonight I hope we don't but we're totally prepared for a very long
shutdown and this is our only chance that we'll ever have in our opinion
because of the world and the way it breaks out to get great water security
Ronald Reagan tried many years ago got a note from a member of his family many
years ago tried to get a wall and he fought for a long time during its entire
term he was never able to get a wall and I consider him to be a great president
he knew what he was doing we are going to one way the other we're gonna get a
wall we're gonna get a barrier we're gonna get anything you want to name it
you can name it anything you want but we cannot let what's been going on in this
country over the last ten years we just can't let it happen now Wyoming
Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney at that meeting of with the president the
congressman as you know has just been voted in as the House Republican
Conference chair congresswoman is it your sense that this measure this latest
measure would pass the house as it's as it's built now yeah hi Neil thanks for
having me look in the meeting that we had with the president this afternoon is
absolutely clear that there is no distance between the House Republicans
and the president we know that we've got to secure our border so what we've just
passed through the Rules Committee is a bill that provides
five billion dollars for the wall and for border security provides additional
funding over eight billion dollars for disaster relief that's really crucial
and necessary and you know if you just look at the exchange that just went on
moments ago in the Rules Committee you had my colleagues on the Democratic side
saying things like the wall was quote stupid saying things like the wall was
quote offensive you know and we the House Republicans the president know
that what's really offensive is a refusal by the Democrats by Leader
Pelosi to refuse to secure the border so we are committed to doing that we're
committed to ensuring that that happens we know we've got no higher obligation
and that's the direction that we're headed in is it your sense then
congressman that you would have the votes in the house to get this passed it
would go to the Senate and presumably with the the Republican edge there it
would pass or do you know some of your colleagues who don't want this coca crop
well look I mean I think the Senate is an entirely different animal you'll have
to talk to the Senators about what they're planning to do with this but I
know that we in the house take very seriously our responsibility to secure
the border I also know that the continuing resolution that the Senate
passed by voice vote yesterday is not something that the president is
interested in signing and we have said all along that we believe that we're
going to be able to put something on the floor and pass it we've actually just as
I said passed this text out of the Rules Committee that will do our job fulfill
our constitutional obligation to secure our border and I would also say I mean I
think it's very interesting to hear leader Pelosi continue to talk about the
Republicans not having the votes I'm amazed she's got time to focus on that
given the struggles she's having on her side of the aisle to get the votes for
her speakership so we're working hard we believe in securing the board and we're
gonna continue to fight for that all right will you have also heard from
Nancy Pelosi congressman who's saying that this is all on Republicans and that
this was overplayed by the president mishandled by Republicans as well that
it's frustrating Republicans because they don't know where the president is
on this just like they were surprised by his decision to pull American troops out
of Syria they don't they don't know what's going on is that a fair criticism
no I mean look at the end of the day speaker Pelosi to be presumably I know
she's trying to be that Schumer and Pelosi both they're playing games and
the American people who are watching this all
across the country know the difference between putting a bill on the floor
that's going to protect the borders it's going to fund border security the kind
of bill the president has asked for that we support and the kind of gamesmanship
we're seeing on the Democratic side unfortunately I think it's probably a
taste of what we're going to see when they're in the majority
starting in January but you can count on the House Republicans to continue to
fight for what we know is right and there is nothing more important than the
security of the nation so I'm proud to stand with the President on this and
we're going to make sure that we can provide him with the kind of funding we
know we need to secure our borders I know you don't obsess over the markets
only nerds like I do who cover them here one of the things that has been raised
though congressman I don't know if it's fair or even right is that we are very
close to a bear market and some averages precisely because there is concern that
things are just falling apart in Washington not to mention in someone's
high flying stocks and that Republicans are getting fingered for that is that
fair look no I think that that when the American people watch the kind of games
were seen you look at that meeting that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi had with
the president where they were just interested in playing games they were
just interested in sort of trying to trap the president and trying to come up
with sound bites what we all know we've got to do is secure the border that's
what the president wants to do that's what we know we have to do and so the
longer that you see you know this threat that the Democrats the games that
they're playing in terms of shutting down the government the more the
American people are going to say wait a second you know we don't want to be in a
position where you've got to threaten a government shutdown to get the border
secure we're seeing these the caravans we're seeing the extent to which people
are attacking our border guards and and that is absolutely unacceptable from the
perspective of our security so again I'm very proud of what we're doing as the
House Republicans and and we're going to continue every single day to fight to
make sure that we're securing our border and securing our nation all right now I
know you're talking about a secure border and it might be a tad apples and
oranges but do you think the president imperiled that by pulling our troops out
of Syria right now and providing an abyss for Isis either to regroup and who
knows some of them to get to that very border that you want to secure look I
think there are two separate issues I think that right now what we're focused
on is making sure we provide the resources to secure the border with
respect to Syria I don't wanna see us pull out I think it would
be a mistake I think we've got to make sure that we do not allow Isis and other
radical terrorist organizations establish safe havens we've been down
that road before well I think across the board we've got to ensure that we're
putting the security of the nation first and my view is that we should not be
withdrawing from Syria that we've got to make sure that we stay there we don't
want the Iranians to be able to create a land bridge we don't want a situation
where Isis is able to be resurgent but at the end of the day we need to be able
to do both things we've got to be able to ensure that we don't allow terrorist
organizations to establish safe havens anywhere in the world especially in the
Middle East and we've got to make sure that our southern border is secure and
right now the Democrats are standing in the way both in the house and the Senate
of our ability to do that so as the the incoming chairman of the
House Republican Conference and as a proud Republican member of this body I'm
gonna continue to fight on all fronts to make sure that we keep this nation safe
congressman we're looking at ping-pong a year and you've been very patient with
me but we're learning that this revamp spending bill is going to be on the
floor presumably the next 20 to 30 minutes
I assume you will vote for that measure that includes some of this funding
financing but does some of your colleagues get angry knowing that they
might be working through Christmas look Neal we're absolutely committed we had a
conference meeting this morning and the sentiment in our conference meeting was
absolutely that we've got to do what's necessary that we didn't want to put on
the floor our CR that didn't address this issue the CR that the Senate sent
over to us by voice vote and and we're committed to being here we
know how important it is people obviously want to be able to spend
Christmas with their families but we all have a constitutional obligation we've
all sworn an oath to the Constitution and as I said there is nothing more
important than making sure that our borders are secure and so we're willing
to stay here as long as it takes to get this done and and if the Democrats in
the House and the Senate would stop playing games and stop saying things
like it's stupid to secure the border then I think all of us as Americans
could come together and do the right thing when you say secure the border I
take it that doesn't necessarily mean a wall it could mean these steel beams or
whatever it seems to be morphing into a different definition of something to
keep our border secure and like Ferren saying that
yeah look you know one of the things that we talked about with the president
at the White House today was the the different types of walls that there are
and I think it's important obviously we've got technology they've got walls
now there we call them walls and they are walls they've got steel slats in
them there are different forms that this can take but there's no question that
some kind of a barrier is crucially important and that we've got to be able
to provide the resources for a wall for a barrier as well as resources that we
need for technology to secure the border by other means I would also point out
that the Democrats have voted for exactly this kind of thing in the past
and it only seems to be now because President Trump is for it that they're
suddenly against it and and it's amazing to me every time I hear Minority Leader
Pelosi or Chuck Schumer or any of the Democrats you know talk about this is
immoral or offensive what's immoral is for those of us who are elected
representatives the people of this nation not to do our job and our job is
to secure the border to keep the country safe
first and foremost so we're gonna continue to fight for that all right
congressman thank you very much the House GOP conference chair Liz Cheney
