Trump tweeted about the impasse saying "I’ve got you covered", which all but assures he act if Congress does not.

These disagreements with his intelligence chiefs stem from Trump's assertions that Iran, which they say isn't pursuing nukes, is a major threat and that he has Syria, North Korea, Afghanistan, and ISIS under control.

Brooks followed up by asking if "the United States military obey that order" if given an order to build the wall and Rood said, "If we judge it to be a lawful order, yes sir. And I assume it would be."

Jackson closes the show with a "parting shot" where he explains why Alabama should uncouple the Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert E. Lee holidays.

Democrats, who saw their leader reject the President's latest offer before he made it are now proposing a bill that includes what some are calling a smart wall with drones and upgrades at ports of entry.

Both Democrats and Republicans are bringing long-shot bills to the Senate in attempts to appear like they are doing something on the government shutdown without actually doing anything.

Even though Trump has compromised on three issues, to some in his base's chagrin, Speaker Nancy Pelosi attempted to kill the compromise before the President even made his statement offering the deal.

Jackson closes the show with a "parting shot" directed at every member of Alabama's Congressional delegation that has remained silent when Alabama could lose a Congressional seat due to illegal immigrants counted in the the 2020 Census.

Neither side's supporters are going to punish them for sticking to these positions.This leaves one option: National emergency declaration
