next one says the next one. after that, i m not sure. even travel gate wasn t a big deal. this is all they have. this is the 2016 game plan. travel gate, benghazi, scandal, scandal. nothing left to do. i think benghazi has become not a matter of reality but theology for the republican base. they believe it doesn t matter what the facts are are, that obama or hillary, probably both conspired to do something. to kill they believe they conspired to kill americans. it is absolutely they killed vince foster and then this guy. trey goudy says he goes back to his district in south carolina and the number one question on people s mind is benghazi. the people come up to him. they don t ask about the economy, about iraq. they ask about benghazi. he s chairing a committee on it. they are living in a different world. anyway, let s look back at some of the harsh words they
benghazi and refusing to help the president deal with 50,000 kids which is not immigration. it s humanity. let s deal with the kids. make sure they are taken care of, get their rights. it s not about the long term big questions. they can t deal with the basic blocking and tackling of politics which is cutting a deal when you have to and moving on like pelosi suggested you have to do in these situations. i think that s right. if i were leading the republican party i would say, okay, mr. president. i will give you $3.7 billion. now in this bill is going to be border security. why not? then they can declare a victoria ary to their friends. why can t they do that? because they have lost their way. honestly, are there are a great many of them that are incapable. i saw the chairman of the finance committee talk about of one of the committees in the house. banking committee, i guess it
in. why can t people whose jobs it is to be politicians figure out how to do the job and work this out? why does it have to be one more piece of evidence to remember the question. casey sten gel asked when managing the hapless new york mets. can t anybody play this game? why can t politicians find a way to get through the disthe agreement, pass the hot potato but get it done. get the children taken care of. bill richardson was governor of new mexico. howard fineman is an msnbc political analyst from the huffington post media group. i need veterans and i ve got two here. the president didn t include in the proposal for 3.7 billion dollars to deal with the situation on the border, he didn t propose formally a revision of the law which probably encouraged the kids to be shipped up here. at the same time pelosi who is a liberal and wants to help the kids says if we have to make a deal to get the emergency aid,
i m willing to change the law. how do we solve the problem? boehner is sitting on his butt. i think the speaker has to finally say to his tea party constituency, look, we have a humanitarian crisis. 50,000 kids. the borders are porous. a deal needs to be made in exchange for the president getting 3.7 billion which will be more judges. it will will be detention centers. what s really needed is cracking down on smugglers and traffickers. the kids are victims. but there are a lot of bad people involved in this. in exchange, you clarify the law. you basically plug the loophole i believe has become a problem. it s doable. it s doable. the problem is this dysfunctional congress may not act before the august recess. if it happens this crisis will get to $100,000 kids by the end of the fiscal year. i saw it.
