Speaker 1: President Trump's efforts to build a wall continue. The Department
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security is getting bids from lots of companies
Speaker 1: that want to help build it. Trump administrations asking Congress
Speaker 1: for a billion dollars to spend on it this year. Now.
Speaker 1: Senate Democrats want no part of this. They met with
Speaker 1: Larrazza and promised that they'll make sure it doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer told a Raza, Democrats will do whatever it
Speaker 1: takes to stop the wall. Robert Menendez, New Jersey said
Speaker 1: that Congress shouldn't pay a dime because, after all, Trump
Speaker 1: claimed he'd make Mexico pay for it. Now, Larazza asked
Speaker 1: Democrats to do whatever they had to, including shutting down
Speaker 1: the government when a stop gap spending measure comes up
Speaker 1: in April. Schumer didn't commit the Democrats to it, but
Speaker 1: he said he hoped Republicans would not put the wall
Speaker 1: funding request in the spending measure. Well, it looks like
Speaker 1: Schumer's hope is the Republican's command. Senator Roy Blunt, top
Speaker 1: Republican Senate Committee on Appropriations, just said that they probably
Speaker 1: won't include Trump's request to fund the wall until next year.
Speaker 1: So the News Isn't that Chuck Schumer and the Democrats
Speaker 1: are pressured by Larazza News is that the Republicans are
Speaker 1: afraid of a Democrat government shutdown because they think they'll
Speaker 1: get blamed for it, even though the Democrats are responsible
Speaker 1: for it and they're probably right.
