meeting at the White House . The best way that we 've gotten so far is from Democrats who were

meeting at the White House . | The best way that we 've gotten so far is from Democrats who were

there and what Democrats they happened is the president walked in . He spoke to them for exactly 3 minutes

and he told them that he wants to do infrastructure . He also wants a deal on trade and some

other items . But that given Speaker Pelosi 's comments today , which he called terrible accusing him of a

cover -up and the Democratic investigations , he says . It 's not possible and he cannot work with them

. He walked out before they could sit down and that was the end of the So where now we

're reporting on this democratic leaders saying they 're not prepared to begin an impeachment inquiry , but they do

have some kind of plan . So what do you , what are you hearing . That was the news

have some kind of plan . So what do you , what are you hearing . | That was the news

from before the meeting with the president . Here 's what happened after Democrats met this morning Speaker Pelosi said

. This is what they are doing now , Democrats seem to generally be on board this idea for now

. So here 's what 's happening there are 5 House Democratic committees that are investigating the president in various

errors areas so include the Mueller report . Others include his financial dealings there are planning they will be having

hearings subpoenas being issued , and if those subpoenas are not complied with as we are seen so far they

have not been Democrats are counting on court action . Now they are considering what 's called inherent contempt of

Congress . That is a power that Congress has on its own to arrest someone even or issue fines for

those who didn 't want to cooperate with their investigations . It has not been used since 1935 Speaker Pelosi

told members today that it is on the table . The message here . Judy is have faith in the

process that we 've begun even as some members would like to go farther now Pelosi was able to bring

down the temperature in the room and these court action today especially helps her argument for this longer So that

's what the leaders are saying how are Republicans , Democrats , down the line . Responding to all | These

2 stories are highly connected . Of course , the president saying that the investigations are the reasons that he

will not cooperate with Democrats . Democrats say that they think that this exposes a weak point on the part

of the president . They also believe Democrats that this was a set up that the president was not able

to deal on infrastructure . Because the truth is , it is a difficult issue for Republicans to pay for

a 2 trillion dollar infrastructure deal Democrats believe the president went into that meeting looking for an excuse to get

out of the infrastructure deal he had agreed to tentatively before Republicans on the other hand , say it 's

Nancy Pelosi who was goading the president when she said that he is involved in a cover up a crime

very strong words some Republicans though Judy are having a difficult time with this . I spoke to spoke to

John Cornyn of Texas , a senator who said : I understand why the president feels as he does ,

but we do have a duty to do our jobs and he 's hopeful that the President actually engages on

at least some topics soon that remains to be seen . Well , speaking of that I mean if the

at least some topics soon that remains to be seen . | Well , speaking of that I mean if the

president is saying : I 'm not going to talk to you about anything we 're going . I 'm

not going to negotiate or anything as long as you are investigating me thinking about impeachment so what real world

effect that they think this is going to have . I think this is the most important question , there

effect that they think this is going to have . | I think this is the most important question , there

are many issues really kind of ready for action in Congress right now and needing action . Let 's look

at a few . First of all , hurricane fire and flood relief , much of that from last year

. Billions of dollars waiting for action there had hoped to be a deal this week . It looks like

that may be slipping away . There are also approaching budget cuts later this year and there was a potential

deal this week also getting toward a deal in that , that seems to also be slipping away . There

also is a lot of talk about doing something on health care and prescription drug costs on a bipartisan way

but if the president is not engaging on these topics , it creates a problem for everyone . Some important

reporting from are you Michelle cinder White House aides told her that the president will engage on some things ,

like for example don 't keeping government but I think we need to see day by day how the President

like for example don 't keeping government | but I think we need to see day by day how the President

handles this how he deals with Democrats today . He didn 't want to deal with them at all .

take away everyone 's health insurance | and you saw them embrace open borders . One of the most disturbing exchanges

is when is when several of those candidates began saying they wanted to eliminate the provision in law that makes

it illegal to cross the border that makes it a crime to cross the border illegally . Now , Sean

while the Democrats solution to that is , well , let 's not make it a crime . There we

go . The problem goes away that is open borders . It 's irresponsible and it is sadly where the

Democratic party is today . You know , I know , how did we go from supporting Obama 's position

'm going to be going on Monday . Back to the border to to really try to highlight the crisis

we 're having there now we saw some positive development today and that Congress finally passed . What the president

asked for 4 .5 billion dollars that includes over a billion dollars for border patrol that includes over $200 million

for ice that 's good . But here 's the bad news . The Democrats in Congress refused to close

the loopholes , the loopholes that are causing this crisis that they refuse to do anything to fix the crisis

and what that means . I 'll tell you one of the most disturbing reports . I 'm getting Sean

, I 'm getting more and more reports from law enforcement of of cartels and traffickers renting children because the

idiotic policy that the Democrats have put in place is if that shot someone shows up with a child that

that there are allowed to stay there are allowed to go free . And as a result , you 're

seeing little children who are suddenly they 're finding more and more instances where there with adults that are not

their parents that are not their family that are strangers to them but but the child is essentially they get

out of jail free card that is cruel to incentivize kids being abused like that and you know what the

out of jail free card that is cruel | to incentivize kids being abused like that and you know what the

Democrats on that stage , the Democrats on the stage right now . Not a single one of them is
