Exist. we saw it with the whole charade in the midterm of people -- the caravan coming to the border, and this is that redux. i think we have to be careful not to allow donald trump too much public air times for these kind of political infomercials. >> interesting. why do you say that? i had that conversation with chris at the top of the 10:00 hour, and he said you shouldnt limit the exposure to this president. which i agree with in the sense not limiting but shouldnt news organizations be more ...

>> well, and youre supposed to use this to address the people, don, when its a crisis. this is not the cuban missile crisis. this is not 9/11. this is just politics. and trump is using it as a crisis situation, threatening a national emergency that doesnt exist. we saw it with the whole charade in the midterm of people -- the caravan coming to the border, and this is that redux. i think we have to be careful not to allow donald trump too much public air times for these kind of political infomerc...

I said we have to build air traffic control tower to keep track of the subpoenas flying from here to the white house. do you think that is what americans want from the democratic party? >> i think they want us to collaborate on those issues. where donald trump widely identified we need infrastructure. that we need background checks in the dream act but the republicans never brought them up for a bow and he never led and pushed but now we see those bills come due is best. but the days of presiden...
