Debate. we have the former political director for president george w. bush. i start with you. the president according to to mitch mccon nel doesn t have information and hasn t been clear about what he wants. is helping or hurting the process? i don t agree on the general kelly front. the key is this, donald trump negotiates in a different way. he told them the four issues he wanted resolved and put together a package. he hasn t said what he want ts the final package to look like. that premature deal making. the group graham came back to talk about their deal was not that larger group. didn t include mccarthy. didn t include other people who would have liked to be part of that package. and said give me a deal that has daca, wall funding, ending chain migration, and ending the visa ....
Ways. they can t vote for the authorization and pay for the troops and fund the million tear say i m not going to vote for it. really that s your position? that s deceptive. calling it amnesty. because. did they come here legally? can a ten year-old form criminal intent? did they can a ten year-od form criminal intent? can they come legally through their parents? their innocence in this. childhood arrivals. we want to help the individuals. not really. you re putting them in the end of the laundry list. everything else you want first. the good labrador bill deals with that. before you do that secure the border which was at the focus of the 2016 election. was that done on a good faith ....
that s a gross supposition. hold on, you talk to any corporate ceo like i do, that wants nafta, they re very concerned about this and they know the trump administration is driving a hard bargain. i d like to see how that deal comes out before that s not how mexico pays the wall. i think it s incredible people can look in the cram raw and say with a straight face mexico is going to pay for the wall. if you think that s going to happen, go invest with burny madoff, give him a call. get him to invest your money. let s not be naive. let s not lie to american people. i m not lying. if we re going to build it, american taxpayers are going to build it. if it means that in order to get daca, i think a lot of people are willing to do it. but let s not pretend mexico is going to pay for it. all right, so here s another issue, then, on the other side that shouldn t be portended about and should be truthful. ana, is there a false urgency ....

Are they not talking? is it not articulated well? there s been discussion back and forth. we would be happy to contact the leaders office about this. the key point is i m laying out and the president laid out what we need in a daca fix. this is something that both parties did come together on last tuesday. we want them to continue working on this issue. kevin mccarthy held meetings. remember the gram durbin legislation is not the only show in town. we re trying to get to a solution that democrats and republicans all the folks in the meeting as well as other folks and this president can support. will the president back off on the wall? there s been some subtle and not too subtle indications that what was promised during the campaign was a campaign promise. mexico is not paying for it. the general john kelly chief of staff today saying the president was uninformed. when it comes to immigration during the campaign. ....
