in all the rallies where he was streaming mexico will build a wall. mexico was never going to pay for a wall so now he s out there with egg on his face that it s fallen apart and his bad idea he s going to push for it and push for it because rick is right. he doesn t have any sensitivity or empathy or awareness about the pain, real life pain the shutdown is causing. i think what the president sees is a temporary pain, there s no question people are going through pain but they also know they re going to get paid back and it is a temporary inconvenience. if you live paycheck to paycheck, pay back doesn t cut it. but what he is focused on is a permanent and serious problem at the border that effects the security of our country. i m with you 100%. but one, there was never reason to put it on the backs of the american people. they have nothing to do with this. that takes two to do that, chris. no, it doesn t.
wall is a made up solution in many cases to made up fabricated problems that the president has put out there. we heard from kellyanne conway. trucks driving across the desert filled with drugs. not true. not what happens. the vast majority of drugs come in through points of entry. caribbean, people working for free right now, they get a ton of it. let s also not forget our opioid crisis and began from prescription medication. coming from asia. huge problem. nobody can deny it. the wall is not going to stop that from happening. it s spending a vast amount of money to solve a problem that needs solving but to do it in the way that all the facts and data show you is the wrong way. what is the shutdown about? it s about president trump s ego. it s about him getting maybe theoretically ahead of himself
they put money on the table. they had 25 billion on and he walked away. that wasn t real. that was authorized and not appropriated and you know it. mcconnell wouldn t do his job or this would have been you re not going to get an argument from me. he said i ll carry the mantle. i ll never blame you, chuck. of course he gave up on two of those. i think the shutdown is shared because now you ve got shared control of capitol hill and i have been in the situation room since this has been made public, i ll just repeat it, when the president said, okay. so if i agreed to open up the government for 30 days will we get the barrier at the end of it, she said no. he said okay, bye. it s about priority. can we agree on the problem
describe my cynicism, katy, but i worry that while the tone may have changed a bit, the tune remains the same. we still need folks to act. we know what we need to do. i can tell you coming from a law enforcement background, we ve said this over and over and over again. we know what kills people, it s weapons on the street, often in the hands of the mentally ill people. i m all for thoughts and prayers, don t get me wrong, but it doesn t cut it. it s not nearly enough. yeah, the conversation seems to have shifted a bit but will we actually do something about it? god, i hope so. ali velshi is with us from florida. we were just playing the scroll of victims from school shootings since columbine. the hair on my arms stood up as my college scrolled by.
darrell issa is next. for five days total. we lost a lot of food. we actually filed a claim with usaa to replace that spoiled food. and we really appreciated that we re the webber family and we are usaa members for life. metastatic and it spread to my bones. time is very important when time is running out. i was looking for answers. a friend of mine suggested cancer treatment centers of america. i serve in the general assembly for the state of arkansas. we work together across the aisle to get things done. and that s the way it is at ctca. what fred needed was a management team. not just to have a long-term strategy for quantity of life, but also an active strategy for quality of life. the plan was to put together an aggressive regimen. the goal there is to slow the growth of the tumor, take away tumor related symptoms and prolong life.
