purposes, but nobody wants a wall they can t see through. they want to be able to do surveillance. it never made any sense. it was a pipe dream. he played people for a sucker, and that s the truth. so you re going to build more of what s there. you re going to add tech solutions. it s always been the right course. the president just sold you something he could never deliver. number two, defeating isis. take a listen. we have won against isis. we ve beaten them, and we ve beaten them badly. do a quick google search and try to find members of his own administration that say that s the case. the pentagon estimates that 30,000 isis fighters remain. we ve seen this movie. it has a horrible ending. it was called iraq. remember what happened when we left too soon there. mission accomplished. over 90% of our deaths we suffered happened after that point. number three, a soaring stock market. the president had been bragging about the stock market as being up massively, hitting all-time highs
past. i intend to keep this promise. if you like your doctor, you ll be able to keep your doctor. read my lips, no new taxes. is president trump going to be added to that litany of losing propositions? how bad is this for the president? debatable, so let s have a great debate. anna navarro and steve cortez. steve, this was the big promise. this is what he said he was going to do. people like me never believed it would get done, but you did. how do you feel today? ha, i sure did, and i still do, by the way. but listen, i will absolutely concede, you re right dpchlt this wall doesn t get built, that will join that unfortunate pantheon of presidential lies that you showed from president h.w. bush examine from president obama. so, he can t let that happen. number one, it s bad policy. we need the wall built. our southern border has been porous and for the most part open for far too long. so it s good policy.
we ll build the wall to keep the damn drugs out. more than ever we need the wall. don t worry, you re getting the wall. don t worry, okay? not big cheers tonight. that was then. the reality now, the president seems to be abandoning his pledge to shut down the government if he doesn t get funding for the wall. and if they do a short-term continuing resolution to fund the government until they come back after the holiday, democrats take control. they don t want the wall in earnest. they believe it s a farce, and many republicans may agree with them. so the wall may never come to be. instead, the president is talking about artistically designed steel slats. see the tweet? you know, the same kind that exist right now thanks to previous administrations. the sad reality is the new wall was always a farce. building more of the barriers, you know, what they call a fence, it s not a fence. the pilings are this big, 35 feet high. sometimes they put masonite on top of it.
about what this is all about. and potus promised a wall. now that promise is wait for it crumbling. what happened? that s the great debate. hump day, everybody. let s get after it. all right. we re getting closer to the truth about the depth of the president s ties to russia. we showed you the letter of intent that trump signed to build a trump tower in moscow. lawyer rudy giuliani had said the president never signed it, but now he says, quote, i was wrong if i said it. i haven t seen the quote, but i probably meant to say there was never a deal, much less a signed one. that s the mayor s statement. i take him at his word. he s invited on this show to make the case whenever he wants. the question was never about having an actual business or a done deal. just be clear about this. it was about whether or not the president had any involvement with russians when he told you he didn t, and the answer is he did.
who is going to pay, mexico will. exactly. and that in itself was a lie. and i think we ve now accepted that. and even his supporters have accepted that that was a big fat lie. mexico is not going to pay for the wall. american taxpayers are going to pay for the wall. and my question is, well, what do you do with the almost half undocumented immigrants who come here by plane? who come here by other means other than crossing through the mexican border? you know, it is a nothing. complex issue. the wall is not going to solve this issue. the answer is nothing. that would seriously and comprehensively no, no, no, i m saying nothing is the answer. do a government shutdown and make people suffer. right. and pay? no. he knows there is pain connected to the shutdown. that s why he pulled back from it. steve, i m not saying do nothing. i m saying nothing has been done. look at these two god forbids we just dealt with. the 7-year-old girl, the 5 month old.
