O rourke s comment, it is playing into the hands of the trump administration, republicans that are broadening it, saying it is not just assault style weapons but trying to take your guns away. how effective is this counter messaging tool, o rourke s message going to be? i think it is likely to be pretty effective. the trump campaign strategy is to portray democrats as extremists, even before they have a candidate, to define the candidate before they re nominated and to say these are socialists, they re coming for your guns. and that used to be more extreme than where democrats were, but i think you re right, thathe played into their hands, likely to be played in a republican ad, regardless of who the candidate is in midterm campaigns and in the presidential campaign ahead of 2020. flip side to that, though, is that people know this hit really
Different walks of life, but what they had in common was a passion for free speech, and making sure that their voices are heard. we had great conversations privately, and also with the bigger group, about what wasve happening, some members of congress, talking about potential legislative analysis. ultimately, i m skeptical of anything about the immunity they have with lawsuits, so i think, to me, as an attorney, i think the first thing that needs toso get done is to reign in those definitions and make sure thathe only the speech that was meant to be protected when the statute was passed is what s protected now. it s really gotten out of control, tucker. the court house doors are barred to anybody who wants to sue for their rights, even with breach of contract, antitrust issues, anything like that, big tech has got its finger on the scale and they own a lot of politicians,
Project moving along, assuming we haven t seen the language there is no poison pill or restrictions and they are thrown in by a swamp creature at the last minute that says you can t build a wall with the money. thathe happens, i don t think te president will sign that bill. in that case, he would move to a short-term cr and the congress creatures will go back to do the crappy work they usually do and if they get that right, he also met bella. let s assume to get it right. in other words, he gets $1.375 billion for the wall now, and that prevents a government shutdown, and that s a good thing. in order to meet our borders and security needs, the president has stated publicly, not just to sean hannity, that he will also tap into hundreds of millions at least $900 million, but i m told a number isr much higher. other discretionary funds that he can direct that money directly to the wall, which then brings us to occur quote don

Decisions? he was going to be a pivotal person there. that he ll go down as one of better negotiators. they might get their way on this tax deal at least in the senate. president, he seems to be popping into the press brief in room almost every other day. statements came in late last night and wanted to hail the fact it crossed the first hurdle in the senate last night. could be passed today. they hope to get it up to the house in the next couple of days. while last week was a rough week, they finally have momentum. they re likely to get this tax cut deal done, but not a lot else, frankly. all this is grinding down and this is his key thing. he hopes to get the s.t.a.r.t. treaty. we ll see. but bottom line, after a rough week, i think he s got the momentum on the tax cut. ed, you got your speedos on
