ROBERTS And hello again ░░░░░░░░ Washington The clock is ░░░░░░░░ in the battle over ░░░░░░░░ border wall that led ░░░░░░░░ the longest shutdown in ░░░░░░░░ S history Federal workers ░░░░░░░░ soon be returning to ░░░░░░░░ job but their paychecks ░░░░░░░░ be in jeopardy once ░░░░░░░░ if Congress cannot strike ░░░░░░░░ deal by February the ░░░░░░░░ when the stopgap spending ░░░░░░░░ runs out If Congress ░░░░░░░░ back with a plan ░░░░░░░░ does not include the ░░░░░░░░ 7 billion President Trump ░░░░░░░░ for his proposed wall ░░░░░░░░ at least some percentage ░░░░░░░░ that he has threatened ░░░░░░░░ let the government shut ░░░░░░░░ again or declare a ░░░░░░░░ emergency to bypass Congress ░░░░░░░░ me not to talk ░░░░░░░░ about this is the ░░░░░░░░ s acting chief of ░░░░░░░░ Mick Mulvaney Mick welcome ░░░░░░░░ to Fox News Sunday ░░░░░░░░ for taking the time ░░░░░░░░ know you got back ░░░░░░░░ South Carolina to see ░░░░░░░░ family for the first ░░░░░░░░ since New Year s ░░░░░░░░ MULVANEY ACTING White House ░░░░░░░░ OF STAFF John good ░░░░░░░░ Thanks so much for ░░░░░░░░ me as always ROBERTS ░░░░░░░░ did the president cave ░░░░░░░░ Democrats I think a ░░░░░░░░ of Democrats think that ░░░░░░░░ capitulated here because he ░░░░░░░░ came away from 35 ░░░░░░░░ of a government shutdown ░░░░░░░░ nothing more than he ░░░░░░░░ ve had at least ░░░░░░░░ weeks ago when Senator ░░░░░░░░ propose the same thing ░░░░░░░░ maybe even back to ░░░░░░░░ this whole thing started ░░░░░░░░ No I think what ░░░░░░░░ ve seen here is ░░░░░░░░ president seeing an opportunity ░░░░░░░░ he did why he ░░░░░░░░ what he did was ░░░░░░░░ many Democrats have come ░░░░░░░░ us some of them ░░░░░░░░ many of them spoke ░░░░░░░░ publicly that they are ░░░░░░░░ starting to agree with ░░░░░░░░ on the necessity for ░░░░░░░░ barrier on the southern ░░░░░░░░ and they had come ░░░░░░░░ us and said look ░░░░░░░░ agree with you you ░░░░░░░░ winning the battle on ░░░░░░░░ importance of a barrier ░░░░░░░░ the southern border but ░░░░░░░░ simply cannot work with ░░░░░░░░ while the government is ░░░░░░░░ That s a marked ░░░░░░░░ excuse me while the ░░░░░░░░ was closed ROBERTS Yes ░░░░░░░░ That s a marked ░░░░░░░░ from where the Democrat ░░░░░░░░ was where they said ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t talk to ░░░░░░░░ about border security ever ░░░░░░░░ Pelosi famously said that ░░░░░░░░ if we open the ░░░░░░░░ she wouldn t give ░░░░░░░░ a single dollar for ░░░░░░░░ wall So I think ░░░░░░░░ president saw a chance ░░░░░░░░ to try to take ░░░░░░░░ Democrats at their word ░░░░░░░░ of the rank and ░░░░░░░░ also some of the ░░░░░░░░ Dick Durbin said some ░░░░░░░░ things about border barrier ░░░░░░░░ Clyburn my former colleague ░░░░░░░░ South Carolina said that ░░░░░░░░ experts thought we really ░░░░░░░░ a barrier he could ░░░░░░░░ for it So let ░░░░░░░░ give a chance for ░░░░░░░░ Democrats to prove whether ░░░░░░░░ not they really do ░░░░░░░░ in border security and ░░░░░░░░ willing to go against ░░░░░░░░ Pelosi or whether or ░░░░░░░░ they are so beholden ░░░░░░░░ their leadership that they ░░░░░░░░ never going to vote ░░░░░░░░ a barrier on the ░░░░░░░░ border.
