And children who are coming across the border that we need to build a wall, but i think we really have to kind of fact check the logic around that. when you build barriers, it is known that those deterrents force people through more remote and desolate and dangerous areas when theyre trying to cross. we saw this in the 90s when bill clinton began to build barriers around cities like san diego. more people went to more remote areas and there were more deaths in the deserts. so its hard to imagine...

Of your life probably still means that like me, you get a little weak in the knees when you walk into that very unique american space. >> well, brian, i think all you have to say about tonights address is that the president himself made fun of his own staff in a backgrounder briefing to the news media. its just unheard of. and made fun of tomorrows visit to the border as a photo opp and that its not going to change anything. so you got to ask yourself really whats going on. the presidents in a t...

Really in order to save women and children who are coming across the border that we need to build a wall, but i think we really have to kind of fact check the logic around that. when you build barriers, it is known that those deterrents force people through more remote and desolate and dangerous areas when theyre trying to cross. we saw this in the 90s when bill clinton began to build barriers around cities like san diego. more people went to more remote areas and there were more deaths in the d...

Its just unheard of. and made fun of tomorrows visit to the border as a photo-op and that its not going to change anything. so you got to ask yourself, really, whats going on? the presidents in a terrible box here. again, no national security crisis. no real crisis at the border. by the way, walls and fences and barriers do work on protecting particularly the eight major binational cities on the border. on border control. theres no question about that. and theres also no question that the mexica...

If hes listening -- and theres a chance that he is -- mr. president, happy new year. i think that youre wrong. dont take a step further into the farce. barriers matter. they always have, which is why we have them. theyve been built and changed for years. if you want more, fine. its probably a sound judgment. but were not a wall away. and if you say we are, you lose for sure. you need to address what the system needs, and you need to allow the system to treat people with decency even if they dont...

You dont want to do a budget that includes -- they voted in the past for border security. >> thats right. >> protective barriers, the democrats have. >> thats right. >> now all of a sudden its somehow being racist if you want a border. >> no, no. whats racist in their estimation is how he talks about the people who enter legally and illegally. how i -- how i refer to them, according to his own rhetoric, is the brown menace that he is falsely defining to the american people. its a lie, we both kn...

Why is it not resonating? >> i dont know, john. the president will have a chance tonight to make his case to the american people. you step back and see the president asked for $5 billion for the wall funding and the democrats said they would not support a concrete wall and he said he was comfortable with steel barriers and they passed a budget with $20 billion additional spending. 5% is one-tenth of the overall budget. the president has a chance to make his case to the american people. >> what w...

Truth. >> he has his right to make the argument to the american people. and by the way, wanting barriers along the border is not propaganda. >> no, no, no. >> its not immoral. its not wrong. >> the facts about that, though, who wants it, who doesnt, how much it actually does protect, like you said, its not a panacea. its not a cure-all, there are other aspects, other technologies that go along with that. >> 100%, and thats our job. i have no problem with this. i see no problem with this. i belie...

Show me. i havent seen it. and he says every other president wanted to build a wall too, and they told him that. listen. >> this should have been done by all of the presidents that preceded me, and they all know it. some of them have told me that we should have done it. >> who? ex-presidents claritaer clinton, w., george w. bush, and obama. the truth is, none of them spoke with the president about it. thats what they say. so dont be a sucker, and dont fall for a farce. but also be aware of an im...

Aspect of your party that hes catering to with this shutdown. im not saying that border security makes you crazy. i think barriers make sense. ive talked to the people that keep us safe. i know what they need and i dont reject it. >> i think donald trump likes immigrants. his wife is an immigrant. >> but he wants to cancel the mechanism that allowed her to bring her parents into the country. you say what im saying? >> he wants legal immigration. he wants legal immigration and he wants a system t...
