  • -It's becoming clear

  • that President Trump has no way out

  • of the government shutdown he's boxed himself into.

  • For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

  • [ Suspenseful theme plays ] [ Cheering and applause ]

  • The shutdown is having real effects for millions of people

  • and that includes law enforcement officials

  • going without pay.

  • Yesterday, in his confirmation hearing,

  • Trump's pick for attorney general, William Barr,

  • was asked about the effect on law enforcement

  • and said the shutdown was the fault of both sides.

  • - People would like to see the shutdown ended

  • and that's why people wanna see some kind of compromise

  • and, you know, you call it the Trump shutdown,

  • but, I mean, it takes two to tango.

  • -Okay, but this is not a tango.

  • Trump is the only one dancing.

  • [ Laughter ] And, judging from how

  • he moves his hands, he's doing some off-brand version

  • of the Macarena. [ Laughter ]

  • I mean, look at 'im. He looks like a grandpa at a wedding.

  • [ Laughter ] ♪ Hey, macaroni

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • It's not both sides.

  • We all remember the meeting in the Oval Office

  • where Trump literally said he was proud

  • to shut down the government and, yet,

  • despite the fact that he is on camera,

  • saying the shutdown would be his fault,

  • Trump actually thinks he's winning the argument.

  • CNN reported yesterday that Trump has been

  • telling aides and allies that he believes

  • he is winning the battle for public support.

  • Well, of course he believes that.

  • He watches more Fox News than all the residents

  • of a Texas senior center, combined.

  • [ Laughter and light clapping ]

  • Trump always thinks he can win any fight.

  • He can be in the Octagon with Conor McGregor,

  • takin' a kick to the face, and he'd say, "Did you see?

  • I just head-butted his foot with my face."

  • [ Laughter and light clapping ]

  • Trump also thinks his Oval Office speech

  • on the wall last week

  • really moved public opinion to his side.

  • Now, you might be asking yourself, "Wait,

  • Trump gave a speech from the Oval Office last week?"

  • And that's because everyone has already forgotten about it.

  • [ Laughter ] That speech was only a week ago

  • and it's already been eclipsed by several insane news stories,

  • from Trump's trip to the southern border

  • to the fact that the FBI thought he was a Russian asset,

  • to the fact that the White House

  • is serving so much fast food, they've added a drive-thru.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • What's next, is he gonna --

  • [ Applause ]

  • [ Cheering and applause ]

  • Is he gonna try to achieve peace in the Middle East

  • with a summit at Chuck E. Cheese?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [as Trump] No quarters for anyone 'til you sort this out.

  • [ Laughter ] So, yes, Trump really did

  • give a primetime address on the wall last week

  • and he thinks it helped sway public opinion to his side,

  • but the actually polling says something very different.

  • -Within the last half hour, Quinnipiac has come out

  • with a new poll, asking, "Did the president's speech

  • last week from the Oval Office

  • [ Laughter ] change your mind

  • about the wall?" Only 2% said yes.

  • -2%?!

  • Maybe the speech only polled at 2%

  • because Trump's eye was only 2% open.

  • That's why he thinks he can win any fight.

  • He's Popeye, except, with bacon, instead of spinach.

  • [ Laughter ] Trump's argument is not working

  • 'cause it's detached from reality.

  • It's also very hard to follow.

  • For example, Trump has recently found a new favorite line

  • that he keeps repeating at all of his public appearances:

  • "Walls work because cars have wheels."

  • -They say a wall is medieval.

  • Well, so is a wheel.

  • A wheel is older than a wall.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • And I looked and every single car out there,

  • even the really expenses ones,

  • [ Laughter ] that the Secret Service uses --

  • and believe me, they are expensive.

  • I said, "Do they all have wheels?"

  • "Yes." Oh, I thought it was medieval.

  • The wheel is older than the wall, you know that?

  • And, uh, there are some things that work.

  • You know what? A wheel works and a wall works.

  • They say it's medieval.

  • Well, so is the wheel, medieval.

  • I looked at all the vans and all of the serious equipment

  • that they surrounded me with yesterday.

  • -Mm. -The Secret Service, the police,

  • the Border Patrol, ICE.

  • Every one of those had the wheel.

  • Well, they say wheels are medieval, too.

  • But some things don't change.

  • Wheels and walls.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Hey, um,

  • I'm worried about Grandpa.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Yeah, no. It's, uh --

  • [ Applause and cheering ] Yeah.

  • [ Whistling ]

  • [ Applause ]

  • No, it's a wheel wall. Yeah, it's a wheel wall.

  • [ Laughter ] I gotta go.

  • He just keeps saying the same things over and over.

  • In other words, he's hitting a wall

  • and it's his brain is going around like a wheel.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • But I guess, now, we know what Trump's been doing all day

  • in the Oval Office during the shutdown:

  • Just starin' out the window,

  • countin' all the wheels on the car.

  • [ Laughter ] One, two, three, four.

  • One, two, three, four.

  • Oh, no, a bus! This isn't gonna be easy.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Now, as dumb as Trump's argument is, he was actually going

  • to get another chance to make it later this month,

  • to yet another primetime audience,

  • for his annual State of the Union address.

  • But presidents technically have to be invited

  • to give the State of the Union by the speaker of the House

  • and, today, because of the shutdown,

  • Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked Trump to reschedule

  • his State of the Union address or deliver it in writing.

  • [ Laughter ] That's such a great burn

  • because, you know, when Trump heard reschedule,

  • he thought, [as Trump] "Yes!"

  • But when he heard deliver it in writing, he thought,

  • [as Trump] "No-o-o-o-o!" [ Laughter ]

  • I would love to see Trump write down his State of the Union.

  • I can imagine what that would look like.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • It's fun!

  • It's fun.

  • [ Cheering, whistling, and applause ]

  • Fun, picturing Trump sittin' down at a typewriter,

  • punchin' the keys one at a time with his sweaty hand paws.

  • [ Laughter ] [as Trump] Is wall spelled

  • with one L or four?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • I'll just use all the L's.

  • [ Laughter ] What we're witnessing right now

  • are the desperate gasps of the Trump agenda.

  • The wall was the signature promise

  • of his campaign and presidency.

  • He's been talkin' about it for three and a half years,

  • but, now, it's slipping away,

  • with Democrats in control of the House,

  • and, in his desperation to save face and get a deal,

  • Trump is throwing everything he said about the wall

  • out the window.

  • For example, he said Democrats didn't even have

  • to call it a wall and offered one very strange suggestion.

  • -This is where I asked the Democrats to come back

  • to Washington and to vote for money for the wall,

  • the barrier, whatever you wanna call it's okay with me.

  • They can name it whatever.

  • They can name it Peaches.

  • [ Laughter ] I don't care what they name it.

  • -They should call his bluff and name it Donald Trump's BO.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Then, his supporters would have to say,

  • "Donald Trump's BO has been very effective

  • in keeping immigrants out of the country."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • And that isn't even the weirdest suggestion

  • for what the wall should be called because, last week,

  • Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy said,

  • "You can call it a barrier.

  • You can call it a wall.

  • You can call it a wang doodle,

  • [ Laughter ] for all I care.

  • Wang doodle and peaches don't sound like names for a wall.

  • They sound like a euphemism for a guy's junk.

  • [ Laughter ] Did you hear about Rudy?

  • He accidentally sat on his wang doodle

  • and banged it into his peaches

  • and that explains why he looks like that.

  • [ Applause and cheering ]

  • So, now --

  • [ Applause ]

  • Now, Trump is throwing out all of his campaign promises

  • about the wall and saying Democrats can call it

  • whatever they want, but one thing he guaranteed,

  • the one thing that was crucial to the whole idea

  • was that it would be impossible to get through.

  • -So we're gonna build a wall and it's gonna be impenetrable.

  • We will begin working on an impenetrable, physical,

  • tall, powerful, beautiful, southern border wall.

  • -Physical, powerful, and beautiful.

  • Was he building a wall

  • or setting up a Tinder profile for it?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [as Trump] Physical, tall, powerful, beautiful,

  • works hard, plays harder.

  • [ Laughter ] And, as dumb as the wall is,

  • literally the only point to building one

  • is to make it impenetrable and Trump repeatedly promised

  • he could do it because that's what he does.

  • He's a builder!

  • -Look, as a builder, nobody in the history of this country

  • has ever known so much about infrastructure as Donald Trump.

  • I build infrastructure.

  • Do I know how to build a wall?

  • Our nation's in such trouble.

  • That's why being a builder, and a great builder,

  • and a very successful builder, I think, will greatly help.

  • Donald Trump, another great builder in New York,

  • now a politician.

  • I can't stand this. A politician!

  • I don't wanna be called a politician.

  • -Oh, don't worry.

  • No one -- [ Laughter and applause ]

  • No one thinks you're a politician.

  • We think of you as a politician

  • the way we think of Shaq as a movie star.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • So, the only point in building a wall is

  • to make it impenetrable and, yet, last week,

  • it was reported that testing of a prototype proved

  • it could be cut through with a saw.

  • And they even got a photo of the wall

  • after it had been sawed open.

  • Last week, Trump was asked about that report

  • and the guy who repeatedly promised

  • an impenetrable wall said this --

  • -What good is a steel wall if they can saw through it?

  • -Well, that's a wall that was designed

  • by previous administrations.

  • There's nothing that can't be penetrated, but you fix it.

  • But it's a very difficult thing to do.

  • But that's a wall, and they have other walls.

  • We have many walls under consideration.

  • [ Laughter ] -I love how you can tell

  • when Trump is lying, because he circles

  • through every explanation he can think of in five seconds.

  • [as Trump] It was Obama's fault.

  • Nothing is impenetrable. We have other walls.

  • [ Laughter ] Next, he's gonna say,

  • [as Trump] They can't saw through the new one

  • because we made it out of saws.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • All right, but so what? Maybe they can just find a new,

  • stronger material and make sure the wall's impenetrable.

  • Problem solved, right?

  • I mean, it's not like there's some other,

  • superobvious way to get around a wall.

  • -During a roundtable discussion with law enforcement officials,

  • Mr. Trump was told some border crossers

  • had been digging tunnels

  • under areas where walls are already in place.

  • -Here, this is just a couple miles from here,

  • from where we're standing.

  • This is a tunnel.

  • This is the second tunnel that, recently, we have located.

  • This is an area that we actually have wall.

  • - That's right. They already had a wall there

  • and someone just tunneled under it.

  • [ Laughter ] Trump's wall is so stupid that,

  • not only can it be beaten by a saw;

  • it can be beaten by Bugs Bunny.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • In fact, if you listen to Trump explain

  • how he thinks migrants sneak across the southern border,

  • he might actually be thinking about Bugs Bunny.

  • -They get off the road and they drive out into the desert

  • and they come on. They make a left turn.

  • Usually, it's a left, not a right.

  • -I knew I shoulda taken that left toin at Albuquerque.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • -Every day, we find out more about how useless the wall is

  • and that's why public opinion is against it.

  • Every time Trump sees a new poll about the shutdown,

  • it's like a kick,

  • in the wang doodle and... -Peaches.

  • [ Laughter ] -This has been "A Closer Look."

  • ♪♪ [ Cheering and applause ]

-It's becoming clear
