On the safety of flights when they are worried about paying their bills. no. this is no national emergency. the national emergency is feeding trumps ego to make sure his conservative base is satisfied he is fulfilling a campaign promise. doesnt matter if the little people suffer. shannon: we will see what happens. there are three lawsuits out there. i want to get you to weigh in on an issue going along the texas border. a number of landowners say they received notices that people want to come ou...

I want to start with you because we had that little montage of a number of folks using medieval to describe the wall. in a disparaging way. you used it, you launched the idea of using it. have you changed your mind? >> i never changed my mind about the utility of physical barriers to secure the border. that was never the issue for me. two years ago all we were hearing was we are going to the wall and the inference was it would be all 2000 miles the border. that is simply not feasible. to simply ...

Long, the president walked that back, most republicans have walked it back, but democrats are for border security, too, and part of that is physical barriers. kristin: do you wish other democrats would come back and say i would at least support some kind of funding for some barrier at the border. speaker pelosi said flat out, no dollars. >> i think she said we are giving no dollars to the wall. this is a semantics issue. id like to see us all taking a step back and we need to lay the groundwork ...
