mark: steve scalise, we got hit pretty good, house midterm.essage, was there a united message. >> i think going in, it was the economy, that is main focus, economy is still doing well. thing that it was not enough, democrats, did a good job of going out, and lying, would argue. they were lying about fact that we were trying to take away preexisting condition coverage, they had a lot of money with that, they out raised us their base of motivated when. president got engaged, he did really well in terms of bringing your base to a higher level of turn ou typically in off year election does not do so well. we saw a percentage this time, but i think our message was not sharp enough, it was not just enough to be for the economy. we should have got to a more direct back and forth on health care, they said was not true, but if you are not pushing back, then, the mile miles become -- h becomes the fact. mark: interesting, you had candidates running away from president, many of them got blown out. >> you know if you look at, i'll use senate, some of the

is that causing a problem as steve scalise tried to with these votes?s so challenging. ten roll call votes in the house of representatives, and they were averaging 361 members. at 430 total right now. two vacancies, and it is always about the math. and so when you are down 70 members, a little bit higher today, it is really hard to get a sense of people on the republican or democratic side. that's what you really need to have a good vote count. this is why nancy pelosi continues to say they don't have the votes for this. there is some real political danger. imagine they forge ahead with that plan, and they get that amendment. they put it on the floor, and it feels. or the bill fails with it. they could say we can't move this out of the house of representatives. that is toxic politically when you look towards 2020 because then you have members of congress -- remember the reason that they lost the house of representatives, they didn't do well in districts where he was popular. that is not good politics if you're trying to win back those districts. >> dana

steve is scalise, i mean we've got hit pretty good. message was there united message at the house republicans were running on because honestly i'm not sure. >> you know i think going in it was clearly the economy that was the main focus because economy is doing really well. thing is that wasn't enough, with anden frankly the democrats didde a good job of going out ad lying i would argue and -- you know we, in fact, we were lying that we were trying to take away preexisting coverage but that's where they wept and tried to put people on defense and they have a lot of money behind that too. they w heavily outraised us ther base was very motivated i'll say this when president got engaged, we actually did really well in terms of bringing our base to a higher level of turnout too, and typically off year election doesn't do so well on turnout we saw very high, high percentage turnout this time around. but ultimately i do think that our message wasn't sharp enough or just enough to be for the economy. i think we should have gotten into a -- a

steve scalise argued democrats are against the wall because they want to deny president his main campaign promise. >> chuck schumer was for this in 2006. i would be curious what changed. is it because donald trump is requesting it? i think it's incumbent upon him to show the american people what the plan is. reporter >> if the president wants to continue to keep the campaign promise he made which is to have mexico pay for the wall. now say the rules have changed but we are going to use the american taxpayer like an atm machine, that's not the right direction to go. reporter: lindsey graham' is working to to. laura * garrett tenney, thank you for that report in washington. eric: there is reaction from washington on the bordered battle. >> people who want to say wall wall wall, want it to be a four-letter word and not respect with customs and border patrol and i.c.e. tell us what they need. all saying wall or no wall is being disingenuous and turning a blind eye to what is a crisis at the border. reporter: democrats say they do not know exactly what the president wants here. house minority

steve scalise and congressman sean duffy of wisconsin. fox's chief political correspondent ed hen try joins us too. congressman scalise you had the votes but the senate looks shaky. are we headed today a shutdown tomorrow? i think it was important today. when nancy pelosi was in the oval office with the president and chuck schumer and she said mr. president you don't have the votes in the house to fund the wall and today we put up a massive vote with a large margin of republicans that said we're going to stand with this president, fund the wall and we gave him serious leverage in whatever negotiations he's going to have with the senate. they have to confront this issue knowing we have the president's back at the house. >> laura: a lot of my listeners are watching and thinking how are we always in this position? it's the end of the year. we're rushing to get out of town. no traffic in dc, everyone is gone. you guys are there, we're here. everyone is gone. paul ryan said we're going to have a fight, we're going to have a conversation about

house majority whip steve scalise speak on fox news sunday saying 12 years ago chuck schumer had similarws to the president when it came to border security. >> if the senate's got a different way and a better way to approach border security, they ought to put that plan on the table. chuck schumer was for this in 2006. i'd be curious to know what changed. is it just that donald trump's the one now requesting it? but if he's got a better way to keep this country safe, i think it's incumbent upon him to show the american people what that plan is. jon: and the democrats also weighing in on the shutdown as new york congressman hakim jeffreys says the left will not give in to president trump's $5 billion demand for border wall funding. >> what donald trump and the republicans want to do is waste $5 billion in taxpayer money op an ineffective, medieval border wall that is a fifth century solution to a 21st century problem. yes, we need comprehensive immigration reform. yes, we need to enhance border security. but we are not willing to pay $2.5 billion or $5 billion and wasting taxpayer dollars

now, garrett and i just saw the speaker, kevin mccarthy and steve scalise walk off the house floor and back to their offices, did not answer any questions really. they smiled and kind of walked past us. we expect republicans to go back into a meeting this afternoon. i'm told the speaker at this point is not going to the white house, and all the white house officials i talked to tell me they have no idea what the president's going to do. these are people who should know what the president's going to do because they are there to execute his plans or help him execute his plans. the white house this week has told us he is going to sign a short-term bill, he will not sign a short-term bill. he is going to embrace a big year-long funding package, he's not going to embrace a year-long funding package, and he was willing to do the wall next year and now he's not willing to do the wall next year. we don't know what to think. the president has been out of the game for a while. he's allowed a vacuum. he's allowed a space where no one knows where he is, so there's a lot of noise, and people can fi

steve scalise is our headliner today. thank you for spending time with us today. this done? >> obviously the senate and house are working with president trump to make sure that we pass a bill that he supports, that gives him the tools he needs to continue building wall. there is a lot more that needs to be done. and if the negotiations will go until february one of the good things about that is that the state of the union will be right before the end of that next funding resolution which means the president has a real good opportunity to go to the country, make a case at the state of the union for why nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are on the wrong side of this issue, not wanting to keep our country safe when the president is fighting to build a wall. >> bill: your state colleague senator kennedy was with us an hour ago. he says republicans missed a golden opportunity last night in this criminal justice bill. he was making out the case that democrats wanted this very badly and passed 87-12. all 12 votes in the nay section were republicans and you could have -- i'l
