well i think the court court and i never hear the court interfere with the president but the court is giving them some time and the important thing here is to get the budget done and not complicate it. we can t have another continuing resolution for any other period of time otherwise we seriously effect the defense budget so my sense is get that budget done, don t do a continuing resolution , have a full scale immigration which may take a period of time in which you have the security element and you have the immigration element and you have daca as apart of that. trish: do you think you can actually do those things in conjunction with each other because we re getting or hearing there s much much resistance from the democratic party when it comes to say funding the border wall and that to them is a non-starter. if there s a wall, do we not get anything else done? well i think ed has got it absolutely right. number one, you got to do the budget. if you don t do the budget you are imp
get their reach up into the united states. so, it s in both country s interests. but obviously when you continue to challenge a country, when you say to your neighbor who lives next door, if we were living side by side as neighbors and you say, there s no fence between us, but by the way i m going to put one up and you re going to pay for it, that s just impossible to accept for the president of mexico and the mexican people are very proud. so, at the end of the day, this permeates the overall relationship, but i certainly hope the security element of it and the interests we mutually have will be preserved notwithstanding this challenge that we have between president trump and president pena nieto. now, the white house a few hours ago suggested the president wants maybe a 20% tax on all imports from mexico coming to the united states to pay for that wall for the border wall. since then the white house has now started to walk that back. they got a lot of grief from a lot of republican
right is on tape in washington this week doing a seig heil. maybe he needs to explain how they deverge from the people we re talking about as alt right or white nationalists. talking about it is always a good solution in my opinion. there s talk about steve bannon but he sort of has this wizard of oz like persona that he s behind the black velvet curt curtain. is the answer is people need to hear from him? we rarely hear from steve bannon. he is kind of that behind the scenes figure. lots of people within trump s circle describe him as also providing some kind of security element to donald trump and also really helping support some of his instincts. and so i would find it hard to believe that donald trump would actually oust bannon from his administration. given their closeness, given the impact that trump saw bannon
situation. the disadvantage is the weather. the state police are expert as clearing highways and state routes. it will not be difficult for them under the current circumstance. also to the benefit of it being sunday depending on how much traffic you have but a security element to this and obviously they will be pursued by media and those anding but why think there will be difficulty with this situation. i want to ask you about how the state troopers have held together in all of this because you mentioned the weather has been a factor for a few weeks. some pretty treacherous terrain the foliage so thick in upstate new york. this town of constable is less so but you can see from the perks here thick foliage and
element in assault helicopters. shown here in blackhawks. some povment and probably the follow up and security element in ospreys, vertical take off and landing go fast carry a lot of stuff. like any military on oh radiation you start at the end and work backwards. here s the objective. and here is where you start. how are you going to get there? make sure you do a vertical envelopment. land on the objective. a vertical envelopment? land right on top. so you don t lose the element of surprise. and go at night. we have the benefit of having night vision scopes and so forth. so we have the advantage over the enemy especially in the middle of the night. you are not going to fly from here to there easily. if something happens you re in a pickle. so you have effectively a forward operating base. you stage the troops there probably using ospreys.
