piece of border fencing that was corrective fencing that obama funded. there he is, here s my wall. do you think the american people can add in a way that will hold him to account. a sucker is born every minute. i don t think we have so many in this country. there was never going to be a wall. this is the best he was ever going to get. exactly to this point. americans know better. what if you re an american who says wait a minute, they re going to reallocate money? what if they re reallocating from it from my district or state? does that pose a political problem for the president? i think it does. he needs to make the case that border security is a serious crisis on par with natural disasters with flood relief, with areas that are in desperate need of cash from the federal government. the state of louisiana, suddenly money against flood protecting where they re losing land every day, suddenly you re going to start to say i m not so keen on that wall. that s the problem.
wall, he says, what you really mean is finish the wall. he s pitifully saying he s getting what he wants. reallocating money for a chunk of pedestrian fencing where experts said it might be helpful and nowhere else, maybe it allows him a little bit of cover to call it a win. the most important thing is we don t shut down friday. it will be really interesting this morning. will the president stand up to the freedom caucus, was he so burned or at least affected by the government shutdown that that was a teachable moment and he will try something different. as we know, our history with the president, sometimes the last person in his ear is who he goes with. look, i think they re both making important points. we should remember the president did get spooked by the shutdown
and schumer and saying it s worth shutting down for. i would be proud to shut down the government over it but now the white house is saying yeah, we will see. maybe we will look for some money some place else. it looks like the republicans in congress have talked him out of shutting down the government. his gut instincts were right last week and i hope he holds firm to that. reallocating funds to pay for wall. i m not against that if we need a government shut down in order to show this country we are serious about border enforcement and security, then a shutdown is exactly what weed into. when president trump listens to his instincts on, this he is right. which is why he won the election in 2016. he will win on it again in 2020. but he has to hold firm on this. the american people want a wall. brian: all right. go watch more from tomi lahren daily basis on fox nation. download that app. now foxnation.com. steve: paid for. and you can use it i use it
has one immediate problem that the white house would have to figure out a way around and that is that generally speaking unless you are talking about really small amounts of money, the reallocating of funds by an executive agency like the pentagon to do something that the money wasn t provided for requires the consent of the leaders of the armed services and appropriations committees probably in this case. which means as far as i can tell, i think that john mccain who is the armed services chairman in the senate who isn t exactly on the same page as president trump on immigration would probably have to approve the money and right now i don t see that happening. yeah, that wouldn t necessarily be an easy approval. thank you so much. appreciate you joining us today. still ahead, new developments overnight in the stormy daniels scandal as her lawyer makes a move to get the president under oath. our legal analyst is here to help break it down. and on the heels of kim
president trump: i did not want daca in the budget. i wanted daca separate so we could talk about it and make a deal. and i hope to be able to make a deal. i hope the democrats are not going to use it just as a campaign. they ve been talking about daca for many years and they haven t produced. bill: president trump laying out his plan for daca saying once that is separate from the budget. pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million daca-eligible immigrants. $25 billion going to a border security fund. limiting chain migration. reallocating the visa lottery. mitch mcconnell says it has the best chance of passing in the senate. the chairman of the senate republican conference senator john thune is with me now. you need 60 votes. tell me why a moderate democrat up for reelection in november, perhaps in a state where this is not so popular, why would
