let me make clarity, not only was the president unpresidential, surprise, behavior in his think the meeting was a set up so he could walk out. as i said to him yesterday, these people cannot go to their payments. cover their their costs. can any of you if this happened to you? if you can come of it is wonderful for you but that does not speak for most families in our country. the fact is what the president is proposing is not the best way . i want to correct the record, he has not told the truth when he said he asked me if in 30 days i would support border security and i said no. the people in the room no that was not what happened. he said in 30 days or you support a wall and i said no. he went out and said something completely different. he knows we support border security and at this a better way to do it. in throughdrugs come the ports of entry. we are proposing to build the infrastructure of the ports of entry. strengthen the ports of entry. spend the money, hundreds of millions of dollars but accessible to have the scanning technology to scan cars coming through for drugs, contraband

not only was the president unpresidential, surprise, surprise, yesterday, in his behavior, i think the meeting was a setup so he could walk out, but i will say just that. as i said to him yesterday, these people cannot go to their fathers to cover their payments, their cost. can you? can any of you if this happened to you? good luck. that's wonderful for you. but that doesn't speak for most families. the fact is is that what the president is proposing is not the best way to protect our borders. i want to correct the record. he has not told the truth when he said he asked me if in 30 days i would support border security and i said no. he knows, the people in the room know that was not what happened. what he said in 30 days, will you support a wall? and i said no. he went out and said something completely different. because he knows we all support border security and that there's a better way to do it. he talks about drugs coming into the country. 90% of the drugs come in through the ports of entry. we are proposing is to build the infrastructure of the ports of entry, strengthen that, t

it cannot continue this way, the insulting of allies, the constant name calling, and the unpresidential behavior. just the way he negotiates. i mean, you can't -- he can't disturbance nobody can speak on his behalf. it's difficult to negotiate, because you just don't know where he is going to come down on a given issue. i don't know if this will change anything, but somebody needs to get in his face about it and maybe more than one person, and i think that would be helpful. will it change anything? i don't know. we never dealt with a president like this, and this out of control as far as i am concerned. >> it's interesting and a backdrop for what will happen in the new washington, the new washington where democrats take charge of the house tomorrow. kevin, the president has invited congressional leaders to come to the white house today for the meeting to try and re-open the government, and our reporting is democratic leaders believe it's a stunt. the president has had days holed up in the white house to prepare for this, and does he have a script, a public performance, one more rehearse
