donald trump inviting congressional leaders to the white house to make a deal on the border wall. this comes as homeland security clashes with more migrants storming the border. garrett tenney live with the latest on this. >> top leaders from both parties are expected to meet at the white house for a briefing on border security. this will be the first face-to-face between democratic leaders and donald trump since the shutdown began. in the letter to fellow lawmakers tuesday nancy pelosi said democrats plan to pass a pair of bills to end the shutdown without funding for the president's wall. he brushed aside the invitation to make a deal as well saying donald trump has given democrats an opportunity to show how real government responsible, to end the government shutdown, a sign of things to come in a new democratic majority commit to working for the people. the white house is calling the proposals a nonstarter, sarah sanders saying nancy pelosi released a plan that will not

reopen the government because it feels to secure the border and put the needs of other countries above the needs of our own citizens. the plan is a nonstarter because it does not fund homeland security or keep american family safe from drug trafficking, drugs and crime. this comes after another violent clash on the southern border between members of the migrant caravan. on new year's eve 100 migrants tried to cross the border from tijuana and began throwing rocks at border patrol agents who fired tear gas to push back the crowd. >> in san diego the caravan showed its propensity for violence once again. a large group of people congregated on the hill behind me at 2:00 in the morning and instead of trying to come north or surrender they decided to assault border patrol agents with a hail of rocks. when agent was hit square in the face, he was not seriously injured but the violence associated with the caravan continues.

>> it is not clear how much if any progress will be made in the meeting with the white house the democrats tell us they expected to be more of a 1-sided presentation than a real discussion but the president insists he is ready to make a deal. >> democrats going in with the right attitude. new attitude for 2019 maybe they will come to an agreement. democrats are outspoken about their plan to use the new house majority to further derail the president's agenda but washington times opinion editor charlie heard said the key issue spilling into the new year such as border security will backfire on the left big time. >> democrats couldn't be happier with what he is doing, going into this with a fight on immigration on border security which is a strong suit of his and even if you get into basic democratic voters if you have to choose between a border wall versus sanctuary cities, abolishing ice, to oversupply both sides a little bit people

will choose border security. the other interesting thing to watch is nancy pelosi will probably pick speaker. the difference is in years past she has had opposition from blue dog democrats, very few of them left anymore, she's getting opposition from conservatives but mainly from the left and so she's going to have to navigate that for the next two years and that will be interesting. >> before being settled with the shutdown coming coming house chairs found use their resources for rigorous investigations into the trump administration. much more coming up. a terrorism investigation leads to a raid in manchester, england, authorities searched this home for clues after 3 people including a police officer were wounded in a new year's eve knife attack. a suspect taken into custody shouting all the bar.

jong un repeated the same promise that gave no details leaving no clear way forward for negotiation. over the past year north korea missile tests and angry rhetoric towards the us have stopped, the progress was reflected in the new year's speech but it is clear the key differences have yet to be resolved. kitty logan, fox news. >> donald trump responding to the second summit tweeting i look forward to meeting with chairman kim who realizes north korea possesses great economic potential. wall street opens for the first day of 2019 after a rough end to 2008, stocks ending the worst performance since the 2008 financial crisis. it lands on uncertainty with the federal reserve entry dispute between the us and china. pointing to expected lower gas prices in the new year.

this is about but it is not going to solve anything for a week. heather: the president sent a tweet on border security and the wall. border security and the wall. a shutdown is not where nancy pelosi starting 10 year, let's make a deal. there's been discussion that once she becomes speaker, she will be more willing to negotiate versus the one like chuck schumer. >> the obvious deal is the president wants $5 billion, i wish it was at temple, it is probably not. heather: what if we -- lindsey graham met with the president over the weekend and that was one thing he discussed with him. >> democrats want this to be an issue on the side of immigration and to put something back as far as border security.

and it will be $2.5 billion with a compromise on immigration but democrats will take a week before nancy pelosi let's it go through the house. heather: scenes republicans are willing to negotiate because they are giving little but democrats aren't giving anything back. we have separate bills to continue to fund the government to resolve the shutdown. what will happen on that front? >> exactly right. the house will pass a series of bills to open different parts of the government with border security. and the other miscalculation is the senate will hold strong, they will not let anything through the doesn't have border security funding and what will happen next week and democrats will come to a compromise, this will be nancy pelosi's shutdown even though they are passing

bills, it won't be effective. and republicans and the president won't back down without some sort of border wall. heather: or take is it will flip and it will be nancy pelosi's shutdown versus donald trump's shutdown which is how they are trying to frame it. >> politically nancy pelosi losing on this issue. polling shows this is going well for the president, his base is very supportive, the majority of the american people are not upset over the shutdown of the president's approval ratings are holding high, almost as i as they have been since he took office so this is a winning issue for him. give it another couple days and nancy pelosi will be underwater. heather: happy new year. and kanye west on the bandwagon, the rap star says he is back into politics, carly shimkus with his new tweets going viral.

perceived as failure. we have volatility in the stock market as a trade wars going on, the government shutdown and democrats will capitalize on that and they are going, what we will see is reemergence of james carville's it's the economy, stupid. not really looking at the fundamentals but looking at the things that are making the news right now, the engine still chugging along quite well. heather: based on news coverage will it be based in reality? some of these polls yesterday on the economy, 51% of people think the direction of the country is pretty good. >> absolutely. there is no great malaise or despair among american voters. these messages being reported aren't sinking in. uncertainty is one of those funny things. want to catch is fire it can stick. we will see how well this continues. the stock market is able to get some stability, that will help but there is more to it than that. heather: speaking of the stock

market and stability the president invited the fed chair to come to the white house and meet but you think donald trump will declare an all-out war on the fed. >> i do. this kind of perceived complete independence between the president and the fed is a very recent phenomenon. reagan, next and, george hw bush all criticized the fed for raising rates and the president understand how devastating raising rates too quickly can be for the economy and he is going to be very vocal about that. he has the opportunity to affect change but he will be vocal about it and has been vocal about it and it is a big concern. raising rates too fast can put the brakes on an economy that is doing well. heather: you think there will be civil war among congressional democrats.

the 20 he just pardoned 22 illegal immigrants facing deportation with rap sheets

including murder and armed robbery but can the open border policies set up a major sanctuary showdown with the white house in 2019? here to weigh in, ward matheson, gop strategist. appreciate you joining us. let's begin with governor cuomo's statement he made regarding donald trump's obsession with immigration. he says while donald trump shut down the federal government over his up session with keeping immigrants out, new york stand strong in our support for immigrant communities. these actions will keep immigrant families together. what do you think about that? >> the challenge is governor cuomo is following mayors and those who set up sanctuary cities and they are presenting a false narrative, you cannot have rule of law and compassion. i believe those are compatible principles. this will be a showdown with the white house and the administration because a lot of this deals with federal law. that could create interesting challenges.

it is also indicative of where mister cuomo's mindset might be. his third term as governor might be a short one. he is one who will be floating a few trial balloons up in a 2020 run. heather: he commuted sentences of 7 other individuals, four of twee 7 convicted murderers and three behind bars for our robbery. >> that is ahead scratcher to me. i don't understand where those are coming from and why he would lump those in with what was clearly a statement about immigration policy. to throw those in to me says he's trying to act above the law as chief executive of the state and that is problematic. heather: the interesting given the timing and what else is going on in the country. >> no question, another shooting of an officer by an illegal alien, more skirmishes going on, reports about 150 migrants rushing the borders in tijuana.

there's a lot of turmoil going on and doesn't think governor cuomo is interested in getting to the right conversation which is stuff everybody agrees on. 90% of immigration to be salted an afternoon on the floor the house and senate but too many people are raising too much money and using it to lunch presidential campaigns. heather: lumping together illegal immigration illegal immigration. >> exactly. conflating that is the real challenge, a challenge for the democrats in 2020 is if they can't separate that out in terms of what is legal or not legal and where they stand, that will be problematic for them as they go to voters, this country is about immigrants and always about compassion as well. those are compatible principles. compassionate rule of law work in this country. we need to quit digging it otherwise. heather: what about the message is action sense to other states and other governors? >> it is interesting one.

as i said before i think those looking to set up sanctuary cities and sanctuary states may give them a little momentum or embolden them a little bit to think it is okay to go down this path but dealing with state law and federal law, those things will end up in the courts and ultimately the supreme court. heather: we have people dying on both sides of the border at this point. something has to be done, hopefully this meeting happening at the white house today, come up with resolution to put money toward it. thank you so much for joining us. happy new year. it is 8 minutes until the top of the hour. a woman trapped in a car sinking in chest high blood and water. >> kicking, trying to see how i could get outcome all the windows were covered. i was panicking. heather: how deputies managed to pull her to safety with seconds to spare. fired up over a hot sauce, tense
