Done? >> i think this wall issue. ronald reagan said it best in the 1980s he was president. "tear down this wall." there was a certain aspect of having a wall, whether it is preventing people from leaving or preventing people from coming in, that sends the wrong message from people that want to do business here. from people that want to immigrate here. and they really want to make america the greatest nation on the face of the earth. it is because of its immigrants, and part. >> trish: i will no...

Thats why you see the disapproval ratings the way that they are. on this wall issue, he is pulling the wool over not just the voters but the american people. they wont have it. we need real leadership focused on real solutions where we can look at comprehensive strategies to get people to stay in their home countries. that takes resolve. that takes intellect. that takes an interest in finding the real solutions in a bipartisan manner. none of which this president has ever seemed to be interested...

President. >> yeah. there is no doubt about that. and yet, john, i agree with everything you said. and yet we still see this, you know, republican base come to rally on this wall issue, right, on the house. they come in and vote on something they passed that they know has no chance in the senate. there is no plan to avert this shutdown. but it speaks to still how much a level of support back home the president has among these voters. even some of them lost their seats and it will be a whole new ...

Resources that are even more urgently necessary today than they were in 2013? that is not putting your country first. that is putting your party and politics before national security. that is an issue. >> martha: we have 60,000-something crossing the border illegally last month. that is a pretty average number. we have seen increase in those crossing over the course of the last year. as a political matter ann coulter says this about the wall issue. with regard to presidents ability to be re-elec...

Lost some big name conservatives. laura ingrahams been very tough on him on this. here is a quote from ann coulter. "its now crystal clear one of two things is true. either trump never intended to build the wall and was scamming voters all along ore has no idea how to get it done and zero interest in finding out. in other words, trump is doing exactly what i feared he would do in the worst conceivable way. hes not building the wall while making ridiculous promises right up until the second befor...

Voters all along or he has no idea how to get it done and zero interest in finding out. in other words, trump is doing exactly what i feared he would do in the worst conceivable way. hes not building the wall while making ridiculous promises right up until the second before he folds." say what you will about ann coulter, but she heard all the same rallies the rest of us did. what does that mean, that hes lost ann coulter? >> he lost ann coulter a while ago, and she has been on fire about this wa...

The wall or that tariffs that come as a result of it would put more money in the treasury, which would then help pay for the wall. but economists and trade experts i talked to say this is not a particularly logical argument. one, the money isnt there now. two, money from taxpayers is not mexico. and tariffs are paid for by the consumers, by the goods in the country that is applying the tariffs, not in the country thats producing those goods. so we are mexico. we would be indirectly paying for th...

60% of college educated whites. so again, this is an indication as matt correctly says, that the president is invariably focussed on his base. but the base are not the only people who vote, as we were reminded. i will also note that in 2020 you have republican senators, unlike the 2018 environment, in places like maine and choleolor that are trending democratic and where this politics is kind of a sentence for ending their careers. >> matt, you have seen some republican commentators that say tha...

Wall, this would be a win but you got to remember, the border security is not just about a wall. really, i mean, there are many people, many critics of this wall issue who say that this is about controlling the browning of america, plain and simple. yes, theres issues of terrorism. yes, theres issues of -- you have issues of drug trafficking and some criminals maybe, but at the same time, its not just about a wall. if you really want to talk about fixing the border, deal with other issues like t...

Get anything done. >> i dont agree. he campaigned on the wall and now hes had two years where his party controlled the house and the senate and funding hasnt happened. if you listen to mcconnell and ryan, theyre ignoring the president. they have been doing this for a year and a half. this wall issue, the party that hes a part of has not prioritized it and if you remember trump has threatened a shutdown over this wall, he did it last year, this year. hes done this threat before and not followed t...
