ws 4 pat collins at the courthouse. reporter: you're going to hear some words from the mother an armed robber, words that courthousehear in a setting like this. you know, in this case the prosecutor hadiles of evidence. it almost took two hands to carry it all. this is a sampling of what was before the court.ca a 911 ll for help. police body camera video of an evidence search. >> sarge, we've got shell casings. >> you've got one? >> yes. >> reporter: a chase, and then a ta takedown. nc interrogation of a suspect. a pile of evi that led to the conviction of these two men in agl b armed robbery in silver springs. and they thought they had it so well-planned. just follow the owners of this market to their home andteal the cash from the day's receipts and make off with about,well, about $3,000. but at the home the family resisted, a man shot in the leg. the robber's perfect plan went sideways. tony hewitt sentenced today to 38 years in jail. marlow, he pled guilty. he got 40 years. an afterwards johnson's mother says she wa

. >> it's not just senator susan collins, fellow gop senators, here they are, corey gardner, thom tillis, lamar alexander, pat roberts, have also called for the shutdown to end while border negotiations continue. indeed, pelosi and schumer want to pass bills that open the government in a piecemeal fashion. if it sounds like a coalition there, perhaps, but it's very important to note all of those senators are either up in 2020 or leaving the place in their rearview mirrors. politico reports republican lawmakers in the house have one number in mind, 55. "that many republican defections, coupled with all house democrats, would reach 290." "290 yes votes, a veto-proof majority. house democrats can't overcome senate majority leader mitch mcconnell's refusal to bring up their bills, but such a vote would signal the house can override a trump veto, a major blow to the president and his allies." who best to talk about this than rick wilson, a proud floridian, proud never trumper. he's a veteran republican strategist whose views about the president are, perhaps, best encapsulated by the title of his book, "everything

so far susan collins, cory gardner and lisa murkowski have said let's end the shutdown and we'll negotiate over the wall, but let's end the shutdown. lamar alexander, and the conservative, pats, he's retiring and marco rubio, florida, people more traditionally conservative. where are we? is it just concerns and grumbling, mr. president, we need to see a strategy or mr. president, change course? >> ink it think it's rumblings spoke to lisa murkowski and she said she was going to bring this up not that she would get into a policy back and forth, but it's the issue of people are already coming into their offices and people are being affected by this shutdown and this is the wrong way to go, and we need to reopen while we continue to resolve the differences and those calls will start to grow. what will be interesting to see is in the past when there have been differences between republicans and the president on capitol hill when he goes to these senate lunches, oftentimes they will hold back and not say anything to his face. he's the president and he gives his monologue and maybe takes questions and maybe doesn't, you don't hear a lot of direct pushing on the president during t
