>> bret: lisa. >> i dont know if we disagree with those assessments. regardless of what the administer ration dated, there was going to be backlash on and execute order like this. ultimately they were going to -- there were things they could have done whether it was get out in front on the issue or have carveouts and have it be a little more specific regarding the green card issue. changing evolutions and changing stories regarding that or even the carve out for special immigrant visas regarding...

With talking points in advance, where they had carveouts for permanent legal residents, people in transit, people for interpreters and those types of people and limited the pause moving forward. i think we would be having a different conversation about the policy. but that is not what happened, and therefore there is a debacle that the administration has been cleaning up for the last 48 hours. >> bret: david, what about donald trump tweeting "109 people out of 3 and a 25,000 were detained and he...

Are already being vetted coming into this country. to put forth this ban and to not determine as to whether or not our own interpreters and people like that can come into the country is dangerous and its not based on evidence. and its a very similar attack to what jeff sessions and president trump and steve bannon have been saying about voter fraud. these are lies. these are myths being developed by this administration to push forth an agenda. this may be constitutional and may be in donald trum...

Wake up one day and said, the whole world has changed. you dont run government like that, not because youre afraid of being disruptive, but because the efficient and effectuation of policy, even though i disagree with the policy is -- should be the reason why you wanted to be president. if thats not the reason why you want to be president, then thats the debate well have for the next four years. presumably he wants the executive order to work. i fundamentally disagree with it, but the process th...
