Whatever you can do with the attorney general, bill barr, would be great. biden went about bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you look into it, it sounds horrible to me. that is a reference, john, to apparently a trip in ukraine in march of 2016 that was talked about publicly by joe biden in january of 2018 suggesting that he set down the marker he was going to leave the country unless they did the deal and apparently within six hours they did. mitch mcconnell now. he is before camer...

Spokesman they could have for this. because she isnt serious about border security. to me that very clear. harris, this is frustrating for me -- remember this -- a year ago we were trying to get millions for border security on the probations committee, which i sit. that was the original language and what it called for. we went from $15 billion to $10 billion to $5.7 billion. her response was always, "not one pellet down my penny, not $1." and now she is so hypercritical of the present for him do...

Beginning. >> its interesting, david chalian, when we talk to people who feel unapologetic about this new policy, steve cortez we just had on "new day," he said he really likes this new policy. he likes the punitive nature of it. what they feel is, yes, parents should be punished for crossing the border illegally. that in itself is the original sin and if children are caught in the cross fire, hey, were not doing it. its those parents that made the decision and i think its really important to ha...

To that bill that we would like to offer as an amendment nature substitute. were not going to be able to do that because that bill is put on the floor because some of our members want to say they voted for that bill. the new bill, the concensus bill does not have all of the things in it that you just mentioned, but it is a good strong enforcement bill. it has the top ten things that the administration asked for. it does fund the security at the border -- >> and that has votes, you think, enough ...

Wildly opposed to this policy. while it may work for the presidents own fortification of his base of support, it is indeed i am perilling the republican house majority. >> thats the point. how much extra baggage hes creating. a midterm re-election is a referendum on the president and his party and he is the party. how much baggage, how unpopular he is and the bet is that this broad stroke argument about standing up to, you know, illegal immigrants, speak to the issue of trade, this is the winnin...

That they shouldnt subject themselves to this. >> let me tell you something, we have been covering this around the clock about whats happening at the border. if people are tuned in, then theyre getting the message but it doesnt seem to be stopping people from showing up at the border. >> well, i hope it changes, but we need to do everything we can to make sure that we have the ability when parents show up with their children to let the children stay with the parents. i have no problem with that....

David gregory, they cant get their stories straight on why theyre doing this new policy and that is telling. the idea that president trump wont take credit for it, the idea that kirstjen nielsen says one thing and jeff sessions says another and john kelly says another, what is that about? >> well, i think its just another example of how much dysfunction there is in the trump administration. you have figures like kirstjen nielsen and session who have crossed ways with the president and are trying...

These children separated from their parents but its been an issue of resolving the issue for the daca recipients for years now and we should not miss the opportunity to address all of these issues in a good bill. its not a kprif immigration bill. theres plenty more to do with people who are not lawful present in the united states and plenty more to do with regard to enforcement, but this is a good bill that addresses all those areas and takes care of these immediate needs. >> congressman, we wil...

Change this country. do you agree with that characterization? >> i have to take a more practical approach. governing is politics and politics is compromised. we already have a wall. we have a wall. we have fence over 700 miles of the 1,900 southern border in places where it makes sense to build a wall. now you could always supplement that. you can always fortify that. you can always do things to strengthen the wall. but weve got to do it in a smart way, in a smart investmen of taxpayer money, al...
