>> it's only tuesday, but washington is always busy. in fact, the white house went off on democrats over the spending bill and the president tweeted a government shutdown could be good. >> you see on the run down on the side of your screen it's what we're talking about tonight at 6:30. president trump of course has been criticized for doing some flip flopping since taking office, but a new huff post shows his supporters are firmly behind h him. the poll showed that 63 percent of his poly ses are what he promised on the campaign trail. 30 percent said his views are somewhat different than they were before taking office. when a broader section of voters were polled only 9 percent bleeft the president has lived up to his promises. president trump started this day with a tweet about senate voting rules and a government shutdown writing take a look. the reason for the plan negotiated between the republicans and democrats is that we need 60 votes in the senate which are not here.

moving on. i'll tell you he wanted to elect more republicans senators in 2018 or change the rules to 51 percent. our country needs a good shutdown in september to fix mess and democratses quickly responded. >> the president tweeted this morning that he's calling for a shutdown in september, a shutdown in government unless the senate changes its rules on how it conducts business. i guess maybe some of the victories we had in this cr, in this objection to the form busies maybe getting under the president's skin a little bit. there you heard from the democrats. this was all a little back and forth we've been seeing going on for a little while. democratses were claiming vic. when we check in with ronica you'll see why the white house is claiming vic tray. in washington there's no clob organize it's i win, i win, you

about this with strategist ateam a contact mar a and brandon spike. >> certainly the president's tweet about a government shutdown, the words were alarming. then we heard the white house do a little clean up. nick mulvaney came out said this was frustration over the democrats and the speed of things in washington. let's listen to what he had to say and then we'll talk about it on the other side. >> they wanted a shutdown. we know that that. they were desperate to make this administration look like we couldn't function. we know a large part of their base, especially their left wing base wanted a shutdown and certainly didn't want them to cut a deal with us. >> are the they he's referring are the democrats? is that what the democrats wanted? is fair to say we scored a vic trincht i don't think the democrats wanted a shutdown. it's never great when folks

and the government can't function. that's obviously not the case. in regards of it being a wirve, it was. you have to get 60 votes in the senate. that means they needed ate democrats, two republicans on the senate side let alone a majority in the house to get it passed. ryan had to do deals with both schumer and pelosi, boat sides of the house. they had to keep funding for planned funding for planned paint hood. they get to plan funding for a wall going in. those are things that democrats wanted. they got out of it and were able to prevent some dangerous stuff from getting cut. you mentioned the wall. we're going to get to that after this wall where you're going to hear nick muscle mulvaney saying we have the money. >> nick mulvaney had been in washington for a while, why do they seem surprised that the

obstruction tis here. >> i think we're surprised at the aggressiveness that they're playing. the whole thing has trump has won has been resist, resist. everything he's doing the ultimate goal is fail. as we're talking about the shutdown and part of it was trump not being a career politician and kind of being frustrated and venting from the mouth. there should be no reason for a shutdown particularly when republicans have control of the congress and as long as they get some kind of partnership with democrats they should be able to avoid. back to the part of victories i see a lot of both sides, you saw for d the school choice bill, you saw three years of funding provided for that. there was funding provided to secure the border, the southern border and as trump and maloney said this is just one of many more to come. even if the president's words were taken out of

little bit were a little bit surprised by this. maybe he says maybe they need to change the rules in the senate to get his ideas and his plans passed. do you support that in. >> i don't support it. i didn't support it when democratses changed the rules a few years ago, but unfortunate lit culture in washington right now, it may be the only option. when gorsuch was confirmed, a couple years ago he gotcha in an must support from democrats and republicans to be appointed to the circuit court. something changed and democrats are dead set to opposing his nomination. the only way to get that qualified that's not your judgment call to make a. these the president's call to make. he was definitely a qualified pick and democrats stride to obstruct him. the only way to get on board was changing the rules. ateam a, we heard mention about do you bring democrats into the fold here? has there reall

effort by this white house to reach out to democrats who were in the my snort. >> yes, honestly we have a budget right now because the republicans had to reach out to the democrats to make it work. if we were really trying to make a shutdown happen we had to shutdown negotiations from the start. the government would be shutdown right now. to have this sort of idea to know that democrats are being obstructionist is ludicrous. what is ludicrous is that republicanses have house, the senate and the white house and still can't get anything constructively passed. they had to sort of work with us on the budget because they couldn't get the votes within their own party which they should be able to to make that happen. >> before we head out, it came out today that fred upton, a republican from michigan said he's not going to support the revised portion of the healthcare bill because he wants to see preexisting conditions addressed here. has there been enough time that negotiate these changes that

healthcare bill through congress. >> absolutely not. it took over a year and three months for president obama to pass the healthcare act and any time to change it in three months is just unrealistic. >> even though on day one he said he was going to repeal and replace during the campaign. >> i think he's getting a bit of reality how d.c. workses. sometimes it's about winning and not what's best for the country. >> thanks so much for coming in today. good conversation. we appreciate it. >> during today's white house press breeferg, the budget director as we evenings inned said even though the recent budget deal didn't fund the president's mexico wall, it did fund money to build another wall. jim and shawn, it is a battle and it was absolutely presented to imply that this was a win for border security and a win for the promises that president trump made on the campaign trail to build a wall.

not this idea of an alternative option since they couldn't get the wall funded like the headlines said when the deal was first anowbsed. but this is clearly the beginning of a debate that i am sure is going to grow. is this funding that director mulvaney spoke about in today's briefing, is it fulfilling president trump's campaign promise to build that wall along our southern border or is this something else. >> the debate it is already raging over the fact that when push for today's briefing that they would be using the funds for a replacement wall and to build levies. details of where and the length of these new structures could not be provided in the briefing. but here is what director mulvaney did tell us. >> there are several hundreds of millions of dollars for us to replace cyclone fencing with 20-foot high steel wall. the several hundreds of millions of dollars for us to build levy walls along the southern

some of the most vulnerable walls are where we have levies. we are building this now. there is money in this deal to build several hundreds of millions of dollars to replace this. that's what we got in this deal and these what the democrats don't want you to know. we took to twitter like we love to do at 5@6:30 to get your take that many are asking after today's briefing. does funding of a wall replacement and levies count as the start of building the wall or would you say that this doesn't count? 53 percent of you said yes, this is the start of building the wall. 47 percent of you said no that this doesn't count. obviously this is knots scientific. we're just getting your take. some have already tweeted in reply to the poll that this does in fact count. others said that calling this funding of the wall, they said this is quote, gop propaganda. so we love to hear from you o

hashtag. i am sure this is just the beginning of the debate. >> no doubt about that. we're going to see this go right up there. i hope we don't go all the way to september 30 mid nierkts but hopefully they'll work something out for us. honestly in the briefing i think all of us were sort of scratching our heads because they were sort of presenting this like this is the wall but then they're asking these questions. this is just the beginning unfortunately. was nick mulvaney supposed to speak was that planned or did he come out and look and say look what i have. we knew there would be pictures of this wall today. >> thank you, ronica. >> thank you. >> the national urban league released its did i and the report found that americans are strong. the study use an equality index to track how close black america has gotten to wide

that black americans are 72 percent equal to whites. the only decrease here came in the social justice index. it dropped from 50 to 67 percent. urban league president mark mor recall spoke out today about the report. the justice department significantly expanded the use of consent decrees to address police issues like racial discrimination and profiling. the excessive use of force and unconstitutional practiceses. a little over 90 days since pawment has left office we must remain vigilant. >> the study also found that blacks in the d.c. region had the highest median household income. >> what a change in 24 hours. yesterday we still had all the supplant i air over us. today it's a much dryer air mass, a

a little bit on the breezy side and speaking of the breezes they are going to continue with us for the next couple of hours and then they'll subside overnight as we get clear and cooler overnight. the breezes will pick up a little bit tomorrow but they won't be as strong as they were today. it looks we'll only top out in the the upper 630s tomorrow. today we hit 830. we are going to trend a spring-like feel in the air. on thursday we're going to see clouds increasing by late morning into the early afternoon. there will be some rain arriving but probably not until the evening. it looks like it's going to be rather soggy for friday and a few showers as we head into the weekend. >> on the way we're going to tell you how students at american university are fighting back after black students were targeted with racial insults. a new development to this story.

tom fitzgerald is live on the campus about this. tell us about this new surveillance video. >>reporter: this is a howcial story mple let's be frank. we've reported far too much of this kind of thing over the last couple of months and now it's happened again at the american yeumplet in just the last hour and a half university police have release some new video now of what they they're terming asa person of suspect. you you can make them out crossing the quad here on the campus. they say this was sometime between 36789 45 a.m. and four:10 a.m. yesterday morning. they believe this is the person who was hanging bananas around this campus as an

threat to african-american sororities on this campus. campus police tonight have put out a $1,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of this individual. h they believe this person may have entered the campus driving a silver or gray sedan. now, the outrage in the wake of this incident is still continuing. and here's why. they had a meeting on campus here today with the university president and the director of public safety which was termed as a town hall for students only. students told us many of them walked out of that because they were not happy with what they heard. why, becaus they wanted to hear not only what the university knew about this incident, but what moving forward they were going to do about it. so when some of those students walked out where they walked to was the registrar's office. they went in and they asked for withdrawal papers. they said if they don't

withdraw students au. by the end of business there were no students who actually had withdrawn as students. we talked to some that were involved in this today and they said they're just not happy with the answers and the information they're getting from the university up to this point. listen to this. i think we already knew what the problem was we wanted to hear what the administration was going to do to address the problem the hand i think wanting that kind of information would have given us piece of mind which we just didn't receive. keep in mind this is not the first time this type of thing has happened on this campus. back in the fall a similar racially biased hate crime happened with somebody else receiving a what p in an a in this form. there's a $1,000 reward on the table tonight. jim and shawn, police are hoping that if somebody sees this they'll call them and they'll be able to get

this. they do know that the au police have talked to the fbi about this investigation and are coordinating their actions with them. >> we're going to stay on top of this one again. just unbelievable. thank you, fits. >> well, remember this, the internet went crazy with michelle obama's so-called side eye mimes. the former first lady did an interview about her expression wasn't about what everything wasn't what everything thought it was about we'll explain when we come back. insurance with geico! e goin' up the country. love mom and dad' i'm takin' a nap. dude, you just woke up! ♪ ♪ ♪ i'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go? ♪ ♪ i'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go? ♪
