Theyre going to have to find the money. theyre going to issue it. revenues are going to be obviously not sufficient to meet expenditures. the point is look, if i were the democrats right now i would just first move to reopen the government. once i reopen the government, then seriously negotiate with the president on border security. you know, $5 billion is a small price to pay for dreamers and maybe the mueller protection bill. they can negotiate something. i agree theres no reason to build a 2,...

Very bright line between the president of the united states and getting involved in partisan matters especially when it pertains to our national security. every president of the united states is a political animal. thats why he has been able to ascends to the highest office of the land. all of his predecessors have been able to shed that partisan coat when they went to settings like this. donald trump has never been able to do that. thats why its not surprising. his first full day in office he t...

He was talking about how this was all affecting democrats because democrats are federal workers. here is the tweet. the democrats finally realize we need border security and wall on the southern border. need to stop drug, human trafficking and gang members from coming into our country. do the dems realize most of the people not getting paid are democrats. whats he saying here? is him just assuming all federal employees are democrats or him saying im okay with shutting down the government because...

Their heel, will we get to a point of a disagreement of what they call a border fence or a border wall or a border barrier. will it come down do semantics in other words for this deal to get made, to reopen the government? >> i think were past that point. there was a time last year where there was a semantic discussion about if democrats call it border security rather than a wall. trump calls it a barrier instead of wall maybe they could meet in between and come up with something they agree to. ...

Thats what we saw yesterday. >> lets put the box aside for a a moment. what about tweeting the video of seal team 5 members. >> we have never had a president been so fluent in twitter. its an honor and a privilege for members of our military to get videos with the president. normally that is done in president. when i was travel with president obama, soldiers and troops of all kinds wanted their picture taken with the commander in chief. what we have now is a president who tweets before he thinks...

Tweeted and a trip where his press secretary revealed the date of mike pompeos previously unannounced trip to baghdad next month. with me is national security spokesperson and he was a special assistant to president obama. hes now an msnbc national security analyst. the panel is also back. ned, why is it so unusual for the president to do all the things he did yesterday? he tweeted a video of the seal team. the press secretary saying when the secretary of state will visit a war zone. i dont know...

This is the presidents priority in my opinion now would be the time to dig in and fight to galvanize your base. i understand he has made agreement with him but big roll of the dies when you ask one of the establishment republicans the leadership, they will go absolutely. we are behind the president on border security. >> border security. always traditional politician absolutely after the election we will do exactly and then we will never do it because the interest that fund us dont want us to fu...

Larnlgd, commit a lot mo large, commit a lot more crime than those coming across the border. this crisis of immigration has been manufactured by a man who used it to get into the white house and the man who believes that it is going to be good for him going forward in terms of the mid-term elections. his approval numbers among his base and potentially for 2020. >> i think thats exactly right, by and large. the statistics that you talked about in terms of crime. theres also the fact that net flow...

Spend on that? on border security. what is effective. >> we have to spend what it takes to secure our border. how much are we gonna spend to secure my home. i will just leave the front door open because i dont have an extra $5. it has to be within reason but we know what the estimates are and we ought to get to it. the point is we dont have any other money for infrastructure and we have infrastructure to be fixed in this country. and we just spent $1.3 trillion. >> congressman i have a little bi...

Advisor to lead president trump in the white -- in the right direction in this very dubious itinerary. what advice could he give it that could be costly for the u.s. this is the third national security adviser that weve have in a little over a year. and one president. i think the point that some people are missing is that president trump is in charge. president trump sets the term. i certainly dont want to be rude. i will ask you some very pointed issues and i would like you to weigh in on it in...
