4:06 am
a national emergency and build it very quickly. >> reporter: the national emergency would let the president tap pentagon funds to begin construction without congressional approval. nancy pelosi spoke out in an interview to air on cbs's sunday morning. >> i think effectively what he would like to say is it doesn't matter what congress sends me, it just matters what i insist upon. >> reporter: but with both sides steeled for a fight, the president appeared to bend on what a border wall may look like. >> if i build this wall or fence or anything the democrats need to call it, if i build a steel wall rather than a concrete wall, it will actually be stronger. >> reporter: still, president trump and top democrats emerged from a meeting unable even to agree if they're make progress. >> we had a very, very productive meeting. >> lengthy and sometimes contentious conversation. >> reporter: and the new house speaker also faced a contentious

4:09 am
people not getting paychecks. at what point does it reach that moment of we now have to actually come to an agreement? >> that's a great question and it does seem like democrats have said on this one we're not going to budge at all because there's no political incentive for them do so. but there will be more and more pressure on the president particularly as more and more things get shutdown in the government itself. so we'll see. but we think most of the political fresh url be on his end and it's going to be when he decides he can declare victory. >> it could be down to the wording of democrats saying we are not giving you a wall so it's not listed in there you get your border security funding and the president can say, look, i can use that money for a wall? >> something like that. basically the president has changed his wording a few times when he's talking about a wall, steel slats, security, he uses a bunch of different fwradphrases. at some point he will decide what i've got here on the table say wall and that's good enough. >> some see that as a concession, though. i mean, some simply do. >> absolutely. and there are a lot of people in the president's base,
4:10 am
particularly conservative commentators who have gone after him in the past when he's said things like this. so that's what he needs to be wary of. >> let's talk about the democrats. we've seen a pa massive power shift at least in the house. the big question, ma what is going on in the impeachment front? >> i think they're going to inch around this conversation with the words of congresswoman talib that became more of a national issue than the democrats were prepared for. but the democrats in leadership have basically said we're going to take this slowly and lay the groundwork and that is going to be a long process. but some of them quietly behind the scenes will say it's not the worst thing of the world to have more of our outspoken members out there talking about this to rile up the base, as long as that's not the official party line. >> as we just said elizabeth warren is already iowa and every pla season seems to start earlier and earlier. this is as wide open a presidential election has ever been, isn't it? >> something like that.
4:11 am
jockeying for this basically started the day after the last election behind the scenes. but now it's finally bursting into the open. my current list of people who are looking at running is well over 20, reaching 30. it's been longer than that, it's getting smaller as we get closer. >> yeah. >> but likely going to have upwards of 20 people announcing. a lot probably in the coming days and weeks as 2019 gets a little bit older. but warren coming out strong. she's the first big name potential candidate to hit iowa and a lot of people in the democratic party were watch veg closely last night. >> one of the other things that mueller mentioned in his report that six-month extension for mueller for the grand jury, what might we expect to see in the coming weeks in this mueller investigation, especially with the shift power in the house now as well? >> well, the democrats have basically said the democrats leading the house investigations, they've said let's let mueller do what he's going to do. we'll hand him whatever we can, whatever information republicans were soppitopping from getting him. but we don't know what mueller's going to do and when, but there have been some indications that
4:12 am
he's going to start being a little more active again now that we're in the new year. maybe we'll start hearing a little bit about reports coming from him, but maybe not. >> gabe debenedetti, the no, best answer. >> it was nope. >> thank you. >> thank you. wall street bouns bounced back friday to recover from steep losses the day earlier. the dow and s.a.p. rose 3%. the gains were fueled in large part by the latest employment report which showed the economy added 312,000 jobs in december. and that hourly wages increased 3.2% from a year ago. also giving markets a boost were comments made by federal reserve chairman jerome powell who said the central bank will be patient in deciding when to raise interest rates. powell added that he would not resign if president trump asked him to do so. >> breaking overnight, three people are dead after a shooting in a torrance, california, bowling alley in los angeles. a fight inside the bowling alley
