and stable and predictable government funding. >> reporter: democratic leaders rejected the proposal and are pushing their own bill which would from the government through february 8th and give congress time to negotiate border security. chuck schumer says the white house's plan is not compromised because his side was not included in the discussions. >> there were no serious negotiations with democratic leaders or any democrats or producers proposal. the president didn't ask what democrats needed in a bill to achieve our support. he simply laid his proposal on the table and proclaimed it a compromise. >> reporter: the democratic bill passed the house. it would flock to the president's desk, the president's plan passing the senate would need to go to the house where it would have an extremely tough time passing but

at this point neither plan has the votes needed to pass so it is a moot point in the discussions between the two sides. heather: we have congressman ralph norman joining us to talk about it coming up. house majority leader steny hoyer is breaking away from nancy pelosi. a lot of democrats are doing that. this top democrats saying he is willing to have donald trump give his state of the union address on the house floor. >> do you think the president, i want to go there in person and address everybody, would you be open to that? >> sure. >> do you think nancy pelosi would? >> i don't know what the discussion would be. i don't want to say. heather: the white house is planning an address next week despite nancy pelosi has requested delay it until the

we have the one supported by the president, offering $5.7 billion for the border area, da protection for temporary status, tps recipients. what do you think the chances are of that passing? >> the linchpin is funding for the wall. it was interesting to hear senator schumer say there has been no negotiation with democrats. they never put anything on the table. this president put it in writing, laid it out there. the interesting thing is democrats voted for the same thing they are rejecting now. in my opinion sibley because they dislike the president. the linchpin is funding for the wall. $5.7 billion is the bare minimum. we had a meeting last night with congress, $25 million, $30

billion is what we need to get the job done. if they cannot agree to fund the wall it is dead on arrival. heather: do we know for a fact that all the republicans in the senate would support the bill as is? >> we do not. the good part about it is having to vote on it, go on the record which is the right thing to do. the fact that we have taken this long to decide something this vital is surprising but at least we are voting on it. i applaud mitch mcconnell. we will see what happens. heather: you would need to 7 democrats across over if you have the support of all the republican senators. he would need 13 republicans crossing over for the democratic bill to pass. in terms of crossover do they have support from democrats? >> a lot of the democrats have a lot of workers that have been affected by not getting a

it just blocks new people identified as being transgendered from entering the military. >> the ban allows people to serve if they identify as the sex they were assigned at birth. the supreme court will look at the policy in october. the trump administration is asking the supreme court to decide on the 2020 census citizenship question. the request which bypasses the court of appeals demands a ruling by the end of june. the question i you a us citizen can be printed in time if it gets the green light. a federal judge ruled to block the question. we will stay on top of that for you. twitter suspending the account that posted the edited video the viral covington high school confrontation that led to all the misleading reports. carly shimkus with serious xm 115 here with backlash. >> reporter: a twitter account

the black hebrew israelites if anyone wants to see. you got to do some digging sometimes. cnn host chris cuomo suggesting kamala harris should prove she was born in the us. >> he was responding to potentially false information, false information about harris's citizenship and he responded to that tweet saying the longer there is no proof either way the deeper the effect, that is a portion of his tweet. he quickly apologized for that, saying i deleted my original tweet because it was taken the opposite way i intended. senator harris has no duty to justify any such accusations little on the birther attack. my point is apologize for confusion. some people fired up about this one including this user this is just when you hoped the media learned, it starts all over

again. another person saying chris cuomo doesn't get past just because he apologized and rewrote the two. a lot of people saying the birther thing reminds them of donald trump and former president obama. shannon: congratulating mariano rivera on his hall of fame honor. >> a huge hall of fame on a becoming the first person to be voted unanimously into the baseball hall of fame. watch.

animus against conservatives and christians and catholics and -- because they perceive that they are anti-libertarian, and with the election of donald trump they became unhinged because their identity politics was offended. they rely on that kind of us versus them mentality. the fact that a man who has supported the evangelical christians has been the most pro-life president in our history basically and now the vice president's wife -- heather: she taught at the school before but they are against homosexuality. >> they hold that is a precept. that does not translate into mrs. pens actively restricting the rights of other americans to practice their lifestyles the

way they choose to. but the left is so inflamed at this point as you saw with the covington catholic situation as well that it is open season now. there is an anti-conservative, anti-christian, anti-catholic bigotry that is proving unfortunately that though they claim they want tolerance they are not willing to respect others first amendment rights. heather: not backing down after if you take a look at that full video it is very clear it is a completely different story altogether but standing their ground, many who lashed out to begin with not taking back, not apologize or nothing like that. >> a manifestation of the fact they feel by virtue of the fact these young men were wearing am aga hats, they are fair game even though they are young people and in the parkland situation they said don't go after the kids even if you disagree with them.

heather: the opposite here. and something else when we get to the next topic. there were young girls, teenage girls wearing am aga toboggan type thing that this of the group was in their face as well. >> we have seen it across the country. heather: ramping up further and further. donald trump vowing not to cave the democrats when it comes to the shutdown. we have these dueling proposal loaded on thursday. what do you think will happen? >> neither bill will pass. we can think of applicable republican senator will vote for democratic bill as a couple democratic senators who might vote for the republican bill, but fundamentally there is still an impasse. the president offered something,

for beneficiaries. >> certain aspects of amnesty process. he offered something important to them. the question we have to ask ourselves is if they are serious about negotiating, let's from the government through february 8th, they should be serious now. heather: should they negotiate with them, does he was any type of -- >> the leverage is all political. both sides are testing their bases and testing the middle. they don't want a toxic effect on the 2020 election. everybody is monitoring politics. one side, the impact will be lost before it is won because one side will say we can't afford this political

consequence but the grip the democrats have, the same old nancy pelosi but we have seen here, donald trump said let's work on daca. >> giving a chance to negotiate. and now you say you did. >> we want to talk about this, the american express detained in russia saying he was entrapped and not guilty. paul whalen made an appearance in a russian court, denied bail, being used as a pond. >> under similar charges for transferring information. heather: a russian is out like reporting he received a flashlight with a list of
