All of our citizens. its very frustrating to me. as an example, we had a bill last week that chuck schumer blocked to pay our coast guard. i met with coast guard members sunday and monday and my state, and they need to get paid. they are defending the freedom of this country. they need to get paid. our border security needs get paid. we need to open this government, secure our borders. this is frustrating. >> harris: talk with me if you will about these competing bills on the hill. what you thin...

In legislation that are subject to negotiation. here there is no negotiation. the president has put out a proposal. we have seen no counter-offer from the democrats. a couple of democrats said i would be willing to do this or that, but nothing from schumer or pelosi. no serious conversations going on. the democrats believe they are winning and they dont have to negotiate. they believe they are winning at the polls. i dont know if the president is going to back down. i think this is going to go o...

Tweeted: he also went on to say and nancy pelosi really thinks walls are immoral. take up the 600 miles of fence thats already on the border right now because its illogical and she doesnt mean it. steve: so much of this has been between nancy pelosi and the president. we actually had the executive director of the national immigration forum ali on with us an hour ago. the key person in washington to break this law jam is mitch mcconnell. how is he going to do today? thats the big question if the ...

Out. but then again, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer at some point they are going to have to realize all these people on our political left who are saying yeah, keep doing it they are going to have to say this has got to end some day. >> exactly. you know, senator mcconnell not just crack open that door, can he say all right, here is a seat at the table. lets financing this out. put that seat at the table and schumer and pelosi dont take it, then its on them. right now trump and mcconnell are fra...

Pelosi and chuck schumer and donald trump. you say the one man who can get us off the mark with mitch mcconnell, why? >> incredible in front of him to put 800,000 people back into solvency. missing second paycheck end of the week. senator mcconnell cannot only strike a deal that guess their paychecks with you also president trump the border resources is he looking for and permanent protections for recipients of deferred action for childhood arrival and temporary protected status. you put those t...

Actually just the beginning of a legislative process. by the way, thats a direct coat quote from vice president pence over the weekend. president tried to break the law jam, as he said, by throwing something out that showed a willingness to move, to deal, to negotiate. before he ever even took the podium, you had pelosi and schumer rejecting it outright. in a normal situation, you would have the minority party leaders here, the party not in power saying, okay, well respond with a counteroffer. w...

Not seem to be any closer unless something substantial is going to change, to reopen the government. >> down to capitol hill. phil, you have these congressional democrats who say they werent consulted on this plan, but mitch mcconnell said he wont bring any bill to the senate floor unless you have president trump, speaker pelosi and leader schumer all on board, yet he plans to vote on this wup. why no counteroffer from the dems? >> from the perspective of the majority leader, its shift from what...

On the lfrkeft, nancy pelosi dit even wait to hear the speech. and ann koulcoulter lost no tim calling it amnesty and calling trump a latter day jeb. >> the crime rate and drug problem in our country would be quickly and greatly reduced. some say it could be cut in half. >> theres just nothing to support the idea that americas crime and drug rate could be cut in half by building 230 more miles of wall. but the president is correct in saying that democrats have supported building a barrier as par...

It doesnt make any sense. you could actually -- i would like some went to press them on that. its illogical. you can have a temporary fix and work out a long-term solution. thats what they have done on a number of other issues, and it would be great if they took criminal justice reform as a template and applied it here. because there are so many areas of agreement that would make immigration much less chaotic in this country. >> david: but in order to have agreement, you have to have honesty. le...

Should have canceled the return trip. but on a more serious note, i think hes got to focus on the fact they are not coming to the table. and hes got to talk about the fact that they have supported this position in the past, even to the point of getting the rnc or some other group to buy paid ads with the clips of obama and schumer, pelosi and other supporting the border security and the border barrier. hes got to get public support behind him if he is going to win this battle. >> eric: you just ...
