Republicans got played. charles: yesterday, there was dan crenshaw, representative out of texas, who im sure you know, put out a tweet saying if you could snap your fingers and make the el paso border wall disappear, would you. later on, beto orourke, senate candidate there, was posing that same question, saying we know 600 miles of wall and fencing have not made us safer. he would, if he could, snap his fingers and remove all of that. what do you make of that? >> thats dangerous talk. beto orou...

Its interesting too on the reverse side. the republicans who decried president obama when he made moves to protect dreamers under prosecutorial discretion are doing the same thing, saying the national emergency is great and it bodes ill for the future. paul: if partisanship designs constitutional barriers as opposed to constitutional barriers. when we come back, mitch mcconnell said he will bring the green new deal to the senate floor for a vote. why democrats are crying foul, next. will it feel...

Thank you. the u.s. supreme court will decide whether the 2020 census can include a question about citizenship that could affect seats in the house of representatives and the distribution of billion dollars in federal money. the justices agreed to a speedy reviewing of a lower court ruling that blocked the administration from using that citizenship question adding it to the census for the first time since 1950. new reaction from 2020 democratic hopeful to presidents trump emergency declaration f...

Witnessing is donald trump doing whatever it takes to fulfill his promises. more importantly, this is about protecting the lives of the american people and securing the country on the borders. many lawmakers, especially the democrats ignored the crisis at the southern border. they say its manufactured. a month ago, speaker pelosi vowed that congress wouldnt spend more than $1 on a border wall. its immoral. but turns out she is off. take a look. >> president trump: i went through congress. i made...

Barriers? >> i believe there is a need and should be a need and see it as a priority border security. >> the spending bill that president trump signed will be built 55 miles of border wall by declaring an national emergency. >> shannon: thank you. we heard the president and the democrats hoping to run against him give different views on the southern border. tonight stacy shows us what is happening at one major crossing. you can decide for yourself. >> here in eagle pass, texas, body guard protec...

That is what i dont think is being discussed enough here. in the history of executive action have we ever seen a president say, one has already rejected it so im going to do it anyway and im going to do it by just moving around monies that are already allocated in other areas. >> well, this is what we are always concerned about, and that is an imperial presidency, a president who disregards the constitution, a president who assumes that he has the authority by virtue of being president simply to...

This is what i had to ask orourke last night. take a listen. if you could would you take the wall down sneer >> absolutely. >> you think if theres a referendum in the city, that would pass? >> i do. >> would you take the wall down that is currently up in the california border? >> not prepared to saw that. its appropriate in some areas and inappropriate in other areas. but at major ports of entree, i believe its approp art. there are appropriate places for barriers. buts i do not believe we shoul...

Wont help as you well know congressman, they say that physical barriers would help. they dont think theyre the number one priority. they dont want it as much as the president does and they list other things that he ignores but you can have both. you can do money for physical barriers and still have other priorities. >> and theres different barriers, theres pedestrian barriers, theres vehicular barriers, theres the urban areas like in san diego and el paso and mostly its fencing. texas has the ri...

He is successful in this, the fact that he is just pushing this message as we look towards 2020, how do democrats respond to that? because there is very resonant with many people. >> look, theres no question all the president is attempting to do is create some political theatre and try to argue that somehow hes fighting for border security and nobody else cares about it. there was a bipartisan bill that helps to secure our border in a smart way, that makes investments in the infrastructure at th...

Priorities. >> we have approved money for physical ware barriers. vehicular barriers. pedestrian barriers. theres certain amount of wall mostly in the urban areas in san diego and el paso. texas has the river. thats a good barrier. and that is a different situation. the private property owners. its a different situation in texas. its interesting president bush never thought about putting wall in texas. he never thought about fencing in texas. he put it in new mexico and arizona and california. s...
