was i incorrect in how i described, if you could support what senator langford described.'s bipartisan support for what he described on the border versus what president trump describes for the border? >> no, you're right, and democrats have always supported strong border security, and that requires a combination of border secure agents, it requires technology. it requires barriers, call them what you want. >> you do admit some barriers need to be there. >> they've been there for years, many of them, some of them can be strengthened. the point is the president keeps misleading the country into thinking we can somehow stop all the problems of the border by building a 2,000 mile concrete wall. that's not going to happen, and that's what this has come down to. i did hear my colleague -- >> is this a debate over semantics? >> no, it's not a debate over semantics. >> it's a debate over delusion by the president of the united states who told his supporters he was going to build this 2,000 mile wall, which people like mick mull vvaney his acting chi of staff said is childish, they

sarah langford on the floor, we -- senator langford on the floor, we told you what he said about presidentrump and he talked about the impact of the shutdown on unpaid workers. the technology company in tulsa that will have to begin -- >> the technology company in tulsa is a contractor for the federal workforce. for those selling their cattle -- they cannot cash that check because they cannot get a second .osigner and that affects them we have a federal worker that contacted us and said she is a contractor and as of a couple of days from now, she will not be able to pay for her son's tuition to get back to college. it will be too far of a stretch. the food banks have started stocking up and reaching to federal employees that if they don't get a check starting tomorrow, they will be stretched to get a check and they will need additional assistance, many time ash many of them for the first time ever. the normanamily in area, south of oklahoma city that typically handles the contract for housing for those students coming to faa into the academy. those academy students have all gone home and t

. >> reporter: langford said it is absurd. >> the best thing we can do is solve the few elements where we have common ground, get those resolved and get the government back open so people are getting checks again. >> reporter: and a democratic representative said he would not rule out a wall in certain instances. >> the notion that we can't have barriers is just something that's not true. but, again, martha, you have to have a plan. and the plan that the president initially started with is not where he is now. >> reporter: senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who has previously refused to bring other bills to the floor to reopen the government says he will bring the president's proposal to a vote on tuesday. abc news, washington, d.c. >>> just ahead, a diver is talking about her heart pounding person is with a shark that was all captured on a video. >> i strongly discourage anyone from purposely jumping in the water with a white shark. >> i'm with >>> and his side of the story. the teenagers widely vilifies on social media after this interaction with a native american elder recounts

fundamental change in 2016 across the world" he associated it with donald trump as well, "there was lloyd langford jewish. it was dog whistle language about special interests. a genie was let out of the bottle." when you talk about your dark era, going back to 1914, do you see donald trump, the european nationalist movement, all of this of a peace, all of it a threat to the jews? i don't want to get involved too much in political discourse between right and left and if donald trump is part of the phenomena or the cause will stop but if we are talking about hungry, for example, we know the european union has many problems with hungry, taking hungry to court. we know that the jewish community and taking hungry to court. we know that thejewish community and hungary has trouble with its government. we know that the jewish community is trouble with its government. we know that thejewish community is quite unhappy with this new holocaust museum created by the government. so we have a certain problem in quite a few countries, they are rewriting revisionist history of the holocaust and this is against the

liz: we had republican jim langford say do green card for daca.e talking about bringing back old-fashioned pork barrel horse trading meaning earmarks and pork. that led to the rise of the tea party. you and amber reported on this. congressional law making and bipartisanship shutdown under president trump when you have the earmarks. it led to no deal making in one of the most of unproductive congress ever. >> you know what? we know somebody who has been a lobbyist and worked within oath sides of the aisle. even under president obama they got pulled back. they are using pork projects or earmarks to show that members of the direct that they are getting things done for the members in their district. the voters in their district. i believe they would like for earmarks to come back. but the democrats are use the narrative, we don't want the trump administration to direct federal funding. we would prefer to do it ourselves. those on the right who know that we shouldn't be giving away money for congressman projects. >> thank you so much for your insight.

this says james langford of oklahoma urges both sides to find a solution so all those federal workersan start receiving paychecks again. >> if there's any two people that are not in a motion to stay trust me to speaker pelosi and the president. neither one of them is trusting the other one. the best thing is to resolve that we can resolve. for speaker pelosi to say up in the government and then i'll negotiate no i don't trust you right now and she doesn't trust him. let's do what we can, get it in writing, get it passed and resolved. >> let's bring in associate editor in white house columnist for the hill. both sides continue their standoff. so what do you think it could take to try and rectify jim? >> it will take something enormous and something more than the offered the president has made this weekend. both sides are very dug in. this is already a polarized tissue. we certainly saw a softer tone for the president yesterday. but a softer going to be more successful? i think that is in question. you could end up in a situation where you try to please everyone and end up pleasing no o

here was james langford earlier today, republican from oklahoma.reating distance between manafort and trump. watch. >> well, i think he knew he had connections to the russian government but communicating with someone about polling data and what's going is no secret thing in that sense. so again, looking for that as the smoking gun, i think would be a pretty big stretch. >> in fairness to what we know now, he's right. i wonder how comfortable republicans -- you know, there's been this line. yeah, manafort is a bad guy. yeah, michael cohen may have done bad things. maybe junior was naive but it's always about trying to build a moat around the president. >> the president has done this carefully himself saying repeatedly that anything bad that manafort may have done, oh, wait, i guess he did do some bad things, but it was all before -- i didn't even know the guy. all before he worked for me. it had nothing to do with my campaign. now we know that mueller's pursuing a meeting and series of conversations that took place during the campaign. and then you

i thought senator langford's comments were particularly good meanhe said this does not yes or no, it is an offer. it is a place that could begin an appropriate negotiation between our parties to achieve two things that are absolutely comparable. to work,verything back getting the right type of border security. that is primarily what i wanted to say. think the american people want us to go back to our respective corners. i don't think that combing going the shutdown and border security that have enjoyed robust and bipartisan support in the past including many of the things the president proposed, even if we could use that as a starting place, i think that may break the impasse. i appreciate the committee's indulgence and time and think for listening. >> i thank you all. i'm going to forgo the interest of time and so many members being here and asked mr. goal of the has any questions at this time? >> [indiscernible] [indiscernible] anyone else? no questions? thank you all so much. >> [indiscernible] >> that is why i did not call on you in the first place. [laughter] >> that [laughter]

this is a bill that senator langford and i have introduced with senator graham and senator harris. >> i don't know what's a good idea, what's a bad idea right now, because i haven't gotten into this area. >> i'll just tell you, backup paper ballots is a good idea. we can talk about it later. audits, along the lines of voting, state election officials in north carolina, as you know, contacted the justice department about the integrity of their elections. the justice department may have failed to take action in a timely manner. what steps would you take to make sure these failures don't occur again? >> not specifically with respect to north carolina, you're talking generally? >> mm-hmm. >> yeah. as i say, i want to make one of my priorities the integrity of elections. so this is not an area i have been involved with deeply before. when i get to the department, if i'm confirmed, i'm going to start working with the people and making sure that those kind of things don't happen. >> part of this of course is voting rights and our concern about some of the changes in department policy. and i

the fiscal 2019 appropriations bill you consider today was developed by chairman langford ad overwhelmingly approved by bipartisan vote. this provides discretionary resources, an increase of $265 million over the fiscal year 2018 level. this bill is fiscally responsible and makes hard choices among competing priorities. the bill rejects the president's proposed elimination of the kennedy development institutional fund and cuts to the small business spursstration which economic growth. more importantly this bill will reopen the department treasury, securities and exchange commission, and multiple other agencies that have a direct impact on the livelihoods of american families, businesses and communities. areassing this bill, we able to get more than 100,000 federal employees back to work and receiving a paycheck. as far as substantive terms, the bill includes $12.7 billion for the department of treasury, including $11.6 billion for the irs to support its base fy17 taxs for legislation. the bill maintains fy0218 enacted levels for the office of national drug control policy, $360 million above

james langford, after mildly saluting the president for his speech about border security, said we need to reopen the government. so, you've got republicans, moderates, conservatives from maine, oklahoma, west virginia, colorado, they're saying the same thing. i got the sense last night actually his audience was really nobody more than those senate republicans. >> i spoke with top democratic aides last night, joe. they were surprised that what the president did, among many other things, but most importantly, the strength in their hand, he framed this whole debate around a humanitarian crisis, what they've been saying all around, not a border security crisis that merits a wall, a humanitarian crisis, and all these spending bills and previous battles they've had allocated money towards that humanitarian crisis. if anything is what will happen now is what you saw last night. additional republican defections. pelosi's strategy putting out these spending bills out is to do exactly that, bring so much pressure to bear on mcconnell he will be forced to bring up that same legislation they passe
