If you have tunnels underground, the wall doesnt stop that. what democratsts are saying, wht the majority of americans, 63%, which by the way, over 30% of republicans and that latest poll, they want, not just safe orders, they want to smart decisions, and a wall doesnt -- and a drone doesnt cover injunctions, all the areas i just mentioned. >> sean: why did democrats support $50 billion in 2013? why were they making the case and sounding like donald trump? just four years ago. >> the majority of...

Wall doesnt stop is that. what democrats are saying what the majority of americans, 63% which by the way over 30% are republicans in that latest poll they want not just a safe border they want decisions. a wall, a drone doesnt cover even conjunction all the areas i just mentioned. >> sean: why did democrats support $50 billion just in 2013? why were they making the case and sounding like donald trump just four years ago? >> majority of democrats did not and i know nancy pelosi did. but, remember...

Resolution, a vote to not allow us to proceed is a vote to go easy on president putin and his oligarchs. >> we knew that senator chuck schumer of new york had a plan to try to block the trump administration from dropping sanctions against companies connected with this putin ally russian oligarch, oleg deripaska. we also knew that schumer could force a vote on this matter using a tiny provision that allows the minority leader, in this case the democratic leader to put something like this up for a...

This company was sanctioned. i think rightfully so. a set of companies owned by a company. they then forced him to reduce his ownership structure, and, therefore, the trump administration came back and said well, lets release the sanctions on these companies. in my opinion, it makes no sense whatsoever. putin has not changed his behavior. sanctions are designed to compel him to change his behavior. something else is going on here. and i think rightly 11 republican senators looked at this and sai...

Mitch mcconnell isnt in the same position he was in during the obama years. what we need are donald trump and chuck schumer to have a meeting. we need seven democrat votes and a presidential signature. mcconnells not a senate democrat and hes not president of the united states. i know he doesnt want the government to be shut down but this right now is between trump and schumer and pelosi. mcconnell will rally the republicans but weve got to get seven democrats to go along with those republicans ...

Introduces a game-changing idea into this debate. if he would bless the senate republicans moving forward with trading the wall for a fix for the dreamers, for daca, i think that would immediately divide his opponents on this and it would force them to choose between the dreamers and schumer and pelosi. i think they would pick the dreamers. hopefully the president will see the strategic value in that and make that deal some time in the future. >> joan, in the past few days, there have been democ...

So what mcconnell has laid out is a strategy since he became the leader to try to get as much support inside of his own conference for legislation to move before he actually moves it. he did it on the criminal justice bill. they didnt have enough republicans to support it. they amended it a little bit. they tweaked it. they got some changes. then he moved it and it passed in overwhelming fashion. thats the hallmark of a good leader, trying to build consensus in our own majority conference before...

I voted for sotomayor and kagan understanding what i was getting, so this decision by reid and schumer may come back to haunt them. but i am dead set on making sure it is a conservative nominee. elections have consequences. the rules of the senate were changed not by me, by them, and we had to do it on the supreme court because they would not give us any votes to nominate anybody. and kavanaugh was a fine man. they tried to destroy him. all this is going to come back to haunt them one day. chris...

Is no basis but other presidents have declared national emergencies as well. bill clinton declared 17 national emergencies george w. bush 13 obama 12 and that is not something unusual it has been done in the past. >> i am hearing he is seriously considering it and the wire will trip soon because pelosi and schumer are not willing to negotiate at all those radicals are not willing to budge and it is a real crisis. president obama declared swine flu for pete sakes. not to diminish the seriousness ...

Including physical barriers. so heres the question. i understand the idea that you dont want a 2,000-mile wall, but you have supported and a lot of democrats including pelosi, including schumer have supported a border that includes hundreds of miles of fencing, so why not make a deal, the deal that right now without opening the government, why not make the deal that lindsey graham was talking about -- lindsey graham was talking about, some money for border barriers, fencing, wall, in return for ...
