Just dealing with the program that protect these undocumented immigrants known as dreamers. then deals with border security later. the president seemed to agree with that. until mccarthy said wait, no, we need border security tied in with that. the president said, yes, thats what she was saying. practically all the democrats it sounded like to me said no, no, no, thats not exactly what were saying. youre seeing these two parties go back and forth on what theyd want to see. whats clear is that as...

Now is a commitment to resolving the daca situation because there is a sense of urgency. now, you have put it out there that you want $18 billion for a wall or else there will be no daca. is that still your position? >> yes, i can build it for less, by the way. >> but you want -- >> im looking at these prices. somebody said $42 billion. this is like the aircraft carrier. started off at $1.5 billion and now its $18 billion. no, we can do it for less. i like to build under budget, okay. i like to ...

Ahead. he said we can get through this. then he said we have to close the deal. youre watching in real time legislators learn how to speak to a very unconventional president in ways that will appeal to him and get him to think in the way theyre thinking. we can do two more hours on this meeting. just fascinating front to back. >> please dont, i got to go to the briefing, guys. >> no, no, we wont do two hours on it. i dont have two hours. but, you know, lindsey graham, the senator from south caro...

Legislative priorities. whatever you guys come up with, bring it you guys come up with bring it to me i will sign it. >> i think that was donald trump the deal maker saying something along the lines of whatever position you guys agree on i will back. i think he was saying i really want something that is bipartisan here. we got to come together on this and i have your backs on that. i think there are a couple of points here. let me touch on lindsey graham tweeting that is one of the most fascinat...
