[inaudible conversations] we are looking at national emergency, read the papers, we have a crisis at the border of drugs, of human beings being trafficked all over the world, they are coming through and we have an absolute crisis and criminals and gang members coming through. It is national security, its a national emergency. Indicate in. We will be letting you know fairly soon. Where would the money we have different ways. Im not getting into that. We are looking at it strongly. Hopefully we can do it this way, as i told you itll be a steel border and that would give us great strength. [inaudible conversations] they dont like concrete, steel is fine, steel is actually more expensive than concrete but itll look beautiful and its very strong. Its actually stronger. [inaudible] i think they will make an adjustment because they want to see the border taken care of. You know, government workers want to see the border taken care of. It affects them very dearly. [inaudible] they love our country and they want to make sure that we have a strong border. [inaudible] i dont know, democrats or not. Probably in this case a lot of them are democrats and a lot of republicans too but regardless, i mean, thats the way it is. Those people are great americans, they are great patriots, they want to make sure we have a strong border, very important. We are looking at everything. [inaudible] itll all work out. What we need is a strong border, we have criminals coming in, we have human traffickers coming in, we have drugs pouring in, we have things happening that you dont want to know about and its been that way for decades and we cant have it anymore and because of the strength of our economy, the stronger it is, probably the greatest economy because of that and its happening even more so. We have to stop it. Thank you, everybody, thank you, thank you. Theres President Trump talking to reporters after returning from camp david, what was built as strategy retreat talking about the government Going Forward in 2019. The border wall coming up. Compromise of some kind being discussed and they talked about a steel barrier and talking with seniors staffers talking about it being stronger, eric, using companies in the u. S. To make this and he continues to talk about ways they can get around this. Eric fascinating because in 2006 democrats supported what was then called secure fence act. The democrats have supported the fence and the president backing away from concrete wall and said the democrats dont like concrete. Steel wall or a steel fence, possibly, steel, sticking with the 5. 07 figure. Opening up possibility of dealing with the dreamers which was on the table back in february after the 25 billiondollar bill back then. We will have a lot coming up in an hour when we return with americas news headquarters. We thats right. We will turn you to the journal editorial report on fox. I think if you wanted to give President Trump his entire 25 billion, i think you could ouget a lot of proimmigration agenda through. The question is do democrats actually want to solve this problem or do they like this fight for political reasons and the fact thatt they have resisd wall funding, any trade suggest they like the fight and not a solution. Paul infrastructure, you mentioned that but the parties are far a part on that, the democrats want a trillion dollar of public money, public money and republicans are saying a lot less and we will leverage public money with that, thats a huge difference in l funding. I think you could get President Trump to spend a lotth of taxpayer funds on this, but i think the big Sticking Point that democrats are not going to accept is a streamlining of the process of building that limits their ability to use environmental rules to stop development. Fast e permitting, for example. Dan, what about you, any hope for bipartisan cooperation, are you moreop optist mick than jam . Not in the least. [laughter] no, i think the left, the Democratic Left hasi bitten thr mouth, they think they are running the party now and they they will be running Nancy Pelosis congress as well. They are determine today take down President Trump that theyre not a lot of new members dont think they are there to get things done, they are there to take down the president , they are moderate democrats ran from states like neww jersey, michigan who perhas are going to be uncomfortable with the strategy like that and may try to push for legislation and its going to be a real challenge for nancy pelosi, i think, to manage two sides of the party. Paul kate, drug price controls both democrats and republicans want to do that, is there a chance theyll go ahead with that . Yeah, paul, you mentioned bipartisan cooperation but that frightens me a little bit because the main area is price control on drugs and i think that would be terrible for u. S. Innovation. Paul all right, still ahead from the Pelosi Congress to the emerging 2020 president ial field karl rove with preview of the democratic playbook, how the white house should respond. Resd okay, max. Time to help mrs. Tyler reach her health goals im in but first. Shelfie the greattasting nutrition of ensure. With up to 30 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals ensure. For strength and energy. I pledge that this congress will be transparent, bipartisan and unifying, that we will seek to reach across the aisle in this chamber and across divisions across the nation. Hopefully a lot of things we can get done together, i think itll work out. A little bit different than people are thinking. So i congratulate nancy tremendous, tremendous achievement. Paul Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Trump thursday both striking a bipartisan one as the 116th congress convenes so democrats take control of the house and gear up for 2020 president ial fight is cooperation in washington a real possibility, wall street journal columnist and Fox News Contributor karl rove served as Senior Adviser to president george w. Bush, good to have you here. Thank you, paul. Paul lets talk about nancy pelosi, you remember she was there once before when george w. Bush was president , what do you expect out of her this congress . Well, im frankly up in the air about what to expect because on the one hand she had exactly the right notes that she struck there in her remarks, lets try and find ways to Work Together but on the other hand her actions and her rhetoric around the shutdown dont give a lot of confidence that shes going to be looking for ways to bring things together into compromise and to give everybody a chance to win something to move ahead because the language about the wall no money at all, its immoral, its inefficient, its expensive waste of money, all of these things dont pretend well for getting a deal on the shutdown quickly. Paul doesnt give her a lot of running room. You need an open if you will compromise and she didnt give herself much of an opening. Im not sure shes been in different position earlier, i think one of the problems was the president well intentioned had a session in the oval office in middecember with schumer and pelosi which everybody sort of got locked in their positions, she was she had a lot of difficulty inside the democratic caucus, this happened early enough that she was able to solve the problem by saying no money for the wall ever and that sort of locked her in a position and now hard to get her out of it. She had to do that in order to assure that she didnt fight battle with democrats newly elected from trump districts concerned that she would be too liberal and the leftwing, ocasiocortez wing which she was concerned that she would be too centrist. She took care of the problem with the hard left but locked herself in a position hard to get out. Paul looking, of course, across the next year, if you are nancy pelosi, saying, hue can i lure donald trump, lets face it not ideological president in terms of political philosophy, how can i lure him into certain bipartisan deals where my party would be happy getting 50 of what we want, where would you push . Well, i would push, James Freeman talked about the immigration reform. If i were the democrats, look, lets give him money for the wall and lets get Something Like a daca fix in return, the dreamers fix in return because the wall will will diminished in peoples minds and the daca fix which is like a 70 or 80 winner dependent on how you word the question, advantage of both democrats and republicans but its going to be democrats who will be the people who layed it out on the table and said we are willing to deal with you in order to get it. Paul what would your advice be to President Trump how to deal with democrats, my thinking is the more they investigate him and move toward impeachment, the more trump will rely on republicans to salvage for presidency if they do impeach to house and goes to senate, less like lie to compromise. Its very important for republicans particularly in the house to make treat democrat suggestions like medicare for all and free jobs and green new deal, treat it seriously and attack those proposals on the merits, the white house would be great to be involved in that but the one thing that requires displib and focus and this white house has neither discipline nor focus when it comes to messaging but the republicans have got to treat these issues seriously in order to show case differences what the democrats are attempting to do and the republican response and the republican response has got to be not only the democrats have bad ideas but the republicans are going to have to give a sense on what it is they would do in lieu. It would fend on how congress responds. If i were the president pick a couple of things that need to get done, lets pass the budget in time. Lets fund the government and then spend as most president s do when they dont have control of congress on the things which theres executive authority or the president has dominance authority in foreign affairs. The more it looks like hes the victim here, the better off he is but hes got to be responsible reasonable victim and not merely a counterpuncher which is difficult for him to e restrain himself from doing. Paul you see democrats starting left, the first one in Elizabeth Warren, senator from massachusetts, what do you think of her prospects . Shes got high name, we will have a serious of 6 primaries this year and shes going to probably farewell in those virtual primaries, the first primary is for talent, early strike there by hiring Bernie Sanders hiring to work for her, message on billionaires corporations, controlling, screwing the little man and little woman. Money, we will see how well she does well. Thats attractions for Robert Francis orourke, later we will see organization, social media, she comes as inauthentic and thats advantage of Robert Francis orourke. She has name idea and strong image, she will end the year in good place but no guaranty that shes nominee, remember barack obama trailed Hillary Clinton until he won in iowa. Paul fun to carl, karl. When we come back Elizabeth Warren makes it official, her brand of leftwing populism will play and who will likely follow play and who will likely follow h tech at Safelite Autoglass we know that when youre spending time with the grandkids every minute counts.

Americas middle class is getting hallowed out and opportunity for young people is shrinking, im in this fight all of the way, right now washington works great for the wealthy and wellconnected, its not working for anyone else. Paul senator Elizabeth Warren following announcement that shes exploring 2020 president ial run. Massachusetts democrat looking to counter President Trumps populism with version of her, would it resinate with voters and who would follow her to democratic race this year, back with dan henninger, kim strassel, Kate Bachelder odell and James Freeman. So kim, the message, you saw the video and her early message, what do you make of it . Well, look, as you just said, Elizabeth Warren is trying to do trumpism but from the left. Now, there are very important policy differences there. This is a woman who is all about medicare for all, she would like to see the federal government actually manufacture its own prescription drugs, shes obviously in favor of much higher taxes, she wants to put vast new restrictions on Corporate America including requiring companies over a certain size to get a federal charter and put 40 of its board made of its workers, so these are some very radical ideas expanding the size of government and therefore very different. But to the extent paul kim, is that going to play in a democratic primary, you and i are not going to go there, we dont want that, what about a democratic primary . Well, yeah, absolutely. This is a party where the ascendant is Progressive Left and these are all their ideas. This is shes the person that they have been waiting for along with maybe a Bernie Sanders and they are part of the party that wields a lot of clout these days. Paul talk about her strength, messaging, money, what is the strength . The strength that shes interested in public policy, she actually has developed a pretty serious set of proposals while we dont agree with offer competing vision to what republicans want to do, i mean, the biggest risk here, though, i know its its obviously not a strength but i encourage the viewers to go watch the video of her drinking video in her house because its revealing about what bad politician she is. Shes gets out of fridge and offers one to husband, why would we do this, it really is [laughter] revealing that shes not good on the stump and not good at connecting people oneonone even though i think she has a pretty bright policy mind. Paul here is the thing, dan, this proposal, i mean, medicare for all a lot of them are for, a lot of them are for, green new deal, a lot of them are for, the thing that stands where she stands out proposals to reorganize american capitalism, most Big Companies are chartered at the state level like delaware in particular which offers maximum freedom. The main thing that ceos are responsible for is to the owners, the shareholders, the people who gave them the capital, all right, she wants to make those ceos accountable not to shareholders predominantly but to stakeholders who would be employees, who would be community people, who would be customers, much broader universe of people including a lot of political restrictions on what they could do . She calls it the accountable capitalism act in addition to charter she wants to put 40 of employees on the corporate board, restrictions on campaign contributions, this is an idea as kim was suggesting of the Progressive Left and it probably is an idea that kind of has some resonance with younger people who havent worked in the private sector in companies that have to function day after day. Elizabeth warrens suggestion here, her expectation is that there are enough people dissatisfied with the capitalist system in the United States that they would consider her candidacy seriously which is difficult to do at the moment when the american capitalism system seems to be booming. Paul why would you give money to a corporation, invest in a corporation where you are not going to be the ceos are going to be accountable to everybody else except for you . I think dan hit problem with candidacy, the secondest biggest problem, we will get to first in a minute. The issue, you see in the clip, sounds like republicans like marco rubio who developed a plan , slow growth obama economy and describing an economy that doesnt really exist, thank goodness at the moment, things may change but giving a 2011 message, her biggest problem, though, i think is that her play for identity politics, bogus claim of native american status i think in democratic primary is mortal wound to endorse her, that party would have to say identity politics which have put so much stock in is a fraud and joke and Political Tool used when appropriate for our purposes but ignored when its not useful to us. Paul you disagree with that. That might help her, her attempt to say, see, im also native american . Well, not necessarily. Identity politics matter a lot on the left now, her biggest problem is her message is basically negative, its a downer, its a pessimistic message, most president ial candidates have to find a way to appeal to better angels, barack obama was very good at that, even as he attacked the wealthy. Paul trade tensions with china, we begin the new year, talk with beijing resume next week, is a deal on the horizon im ken jacobus and i switched to the spark cash card from capital one.

Not having a Good Breakfast can make you feel like your day never started. Get going with carnation breakfast essentials®. It has protein, plus 21 vitamins and Minerals Including calcium and vitamin d, to help your family be their best. Carnation breakfast essentials®. Paul trade tensions with beijing casting a cloud over the economy as we begin 2019. Apple slashing revenue forecast for the first time in more than 15 years amid falling iphone sales in china. Trade talks are scheduled to resume next week in the hopes of reaching a deal before march first when u. S. Tariffs on chinese import are set to rise. John murphy is Senior Vice President for International Policy at the u. S. Chamber of commerce, good to see you again, john, lets talk about first the apple announcement, the big blowoff on the stock market after it happened. What does this tell you about the risking for the u. S. Economy from a chinese slowdown . Turns out the well economy is well connected. Paul imagine that. Who would have thought of it . China has been one of the Fastest Growing markets for Many Companies and its not just apple, its host of other companies that are seeing the softness so in transportation sector, in industrials like autos, there is this softness, bank of america just this past week said that tariff and trade war effects have not knocked 6 of share value of s p 500 in the past year, the economy in the u. S. Is strong but these are warning signs. Paul so if you had a recession in china, a lot of people say, great, china, adversary, they should suffer thats fine, but what youre say if that happened youd see that the consequences for that, american businesses and American Workers as well . Absolutely. And it happens directly and indirectly. They are in many ways, its not just these big multinationals whose investments in china are throwing off valuable revenue, its small or Midsize Companies in the u. S. That are importing key components from china and the knockon effects directly and indirectly through third markets as well. Paul if theres a Silver Lining here it could be slowdown in growth in china and the potential effects in the United States would give both sides an incentive to sit down as they are going to do smarting next week with march first deadline and try to knock out a deal that both sides can live with and say they got something out of . I think thats absolutely right. Both sides are focused on this and concentrating in a new way and we do have a u. S. Delegation going to beijing next week to begin these negotiations. The u. S. Focus of theft of intellectual property, its focused on industrial subsidies trying to give some hefty subsidies to key sectors that it regards as important to the future of their economy, the socalled made in china 2025 initiative. These things will be at the focus of these negotiations, the u. S. Wants to see real serious forcible commitments to cut subsidies and discussion of new sales of u. S. Goods, whether soybeans or what have you. The u. S. Is focused on fundamental. Paul we will buy more soybeans, more jet planes, this or that, more liquefy natural gas, thats all fine, nothing wrong with that, thats not going to do it this time in my estimation, the u. S. Wants more and i think u. S. Business wants more, what should we what are what do your Companies Want to see from this negotiation . Paul, youre absolutely right, thats not going to cut it, Bob Lighthizer is focused very much on the fundamental reforms, do i think one of the challenges we are looking at right now is subsidies provided to these key sectors, provided by the chinese government, the u. S. Is looking for ways that those can be cut in a verifiable, enforceable way in addition to the intellectual property protections that i mentioned, so thats certainly where the focus is going to be. Paul i think you will see the chinese are going to say, fine, these will be we will do this and might even change legislation in some cases, for example, having to do with joint ventures allowing more ownership by Foreign Companies than 50 or ip theft but it seems to me that enforcement is going to be the key, that we have to be able to say here is how we can track you if you break the agreements and then have some mechanism for for retaliating. Yes, this is exactly where people are trying to come up with creative new solutions. Now the threat of tariffs is out there, but for us in the u. S. Business community, you know, at the end of the data riffs are a tax paid by americans, American Consumers and businesses, what can we do that isnt tariffbased. Paul quick question because we dont have much time, the new nafta right now, does the administration have the votes to pass that in this congress . Well, no. Nobody knows yet and democrats have been lighting up in the congress saying that they will be looking for more on the enforcement of labor provisions and possibly some other issues. But honestly, members of congress are just starting to focus on this. We in the Business Community who support the agreement because we need that certainty of the access to two most important export markets, i think we have a steep road to climb here but we will be out there trying to explain to members of Congress Just how important the markets are and how we need continuity. Paul wall street wild ride continues, stronger than expected jobs report sent stocks swinging, what the market volatility signals about the u. S. Economy in the new year . What do you have there . P3 its meat, cheese and nuts. I keep my protein interesting. Oh yea, me too. I have cheese and uh these herbs. P3 snacks. The more interesting way to get your protein. But how do i know if im im getting a good deal . I tell truecar my zip and which car i want and truecar shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car so i know if im getting a great price. This is how car buying was always meant to be. This is truecar. S our country is doing better by far than any other country in the world from an economic standpoint. We are the talk of the world and we had glitch in the stock market last month but still up around 30 from the time i got elected and its going to go up once we settle trade issues and once a couple of other things happen, it has a long way to go. Paul President Trump touting the strength of the American Economy and down playing recent swings in the stock market, u. S. Employers dramatically stepped up hiring in december adding remarkable 312,000 new jobs and encouraging end to 2018, we are back with dan henninger, kim strassel, Kate Bachelder odell, James Freeman. Yes, sir. Paul opportunity to spike the football with the jobs report, big, bigpi number. It is kind of nice those whon urged cut in Corporate Tax rate to see results that are, i think, beautiful as the president might say. Paul wage is up too. December job report, almost nothing, nothing in it you couldnt celebrate. Jobs, revisions to previous, meaning more jobs created than we thought. Paul 3. 9 to 3. 7, thats okay . More people coming to labor force. You have more than a Million People in the prime working years since President Trump got elected coming back into the labor force or joining it. This is what weve been hoping for. I Labor Force Participation going up, jobs up, wages up, really great news and especially interesting because weve heard so much about how the tax cuts wereer just going to cause suga, first quarter, Second Quarter boom, wont last and now looks like surprising strength at the end of the year. Paul let me be a spoil sport, thats my specialty, its a lagging indicator and we see other Manufacturing Index really felly off, Global Growth really slow, you saw the apple numbers, stock market, Financial Markets have been tightening up, credit markets tightening up, itll be slower in 2019. It could be slower in 2019. Iou think the big issue looming out there is in fact, trade thnegotiation with china. As President Trump just said himself in the clip we looked at, stock market had this as he called glitch in december. [laughter] paul bigger than a glitch in my 401 k , i tell you that. Itll change once we get trade issues behind us. You talked to john murphy with whats going on with china. What the United States wants from chinese and xi jinping in my mind is significant structural change in the chinese economic model. If you think that is going to happen by early march which is the deadline President Trump is set after which he will impose tariffs if he doesnt get what he wants. I think we are going to longterm tariff regime. You are really talking about a veryu long trade trade negotiation with the chinese government. Paul kim, i think if we go into that kind of scenario where the us slaps 25 tariffs on 200, 300 billion of chinese goods as opposed to 10 and china retaliates, i think both economies willmi suffer enormously. Theres big incentive for them at least both sides to get structure of a deal even if implementation of everything will take some time. Well, yeah, of course, and as you were just talking about with the last interview, mr. Murphy, they are interconnected economies and you hear the president saying unfortunately their economy is hurting far more than ours is. Thats a good thing. Actually when their economy is hurt, consumers arent buying American Goods and everyone ends off worse off. They have to go and understand the the president alluded, whats problematic in our economy is simply uncertainty and trade is a big aspect of that uncertainty. The fed, another one, but if they could get settled and investors and corporations knew what was coming, we would probably see that reflected in stock market and in greater growth. Paul kate, anything wee think may be progrowth coming out of congress this year that would help help the economy . The short answer is no, paul, i think if anything we are going to have to rely on a gop senate to stop house proposals that would damage growth in the economy. Im talking about, you know, more harassment on businesses, trying to stop the trump deregulatory efforts which the house is going to certainly try to do. Maybe trying to raise the Corporate Tax rate which in addition to being higher would add more uncertainty whether the rate is going to stay. So hopefully theres a checkck n bad policies but i dont think anything could be put in progrowth column in congress. Paul briefly, james, did the Federal Reserve make mys take in raising interest rates, we heard friday they will be cautious in moving ahead which the market loved . I dont think they made a mistake. Do we might disagree on this, i think this is a very strong u. S. Economy, fortunately so far the power of the trump tax cuts and regulatory tax cuts is bigger than downside of the trump tariffs. Maybe that changes after march first, but i think theres a compelling argument here to say that xi jinping, you dont have to stop being thuggish dictator but you have to realize like most recent predecessor, you have to let markets work. Paul all right, i think they should have pazed. All right, when we come back freshman senator mitt romney blasting President Trump in oped this week and stoking speculation of 2020 primary challenge. We will have some differences and i expect that each c senator and each representative will express their own dues as they think best. Hed be stopping for more pills right now.

I was surprised at mitt romney, i hope he will be team player and if hes a team player, thatll be t great. Iat will say this, if he fought really hard against president obama like he does against me, he would have won the election. I think hes going to end up being a team player, i think he agrees with many of the things that weve dones and many things that we have in mind, we will see what happens. Paul that was President Trump this week responding to mitt romneys oped on wednesday, blasted President Trumps character arguing he has not risen to the mantle of the office. Romney denying that the move is sign of possible 2020 primary challenge. So if its not a primary challenge potential setting him up for that, dan, what is he up to . Well, it is a primary challenge and thats part of the problems with mitt romney. What he said is not credible, you show up first day in washington and launch attack on the president of the United States. Paul why is is it not credible . Do you agree with what he says . Yeah, i think i disagree with some of it. I want to read some of the willments as an example, i speak out against significant statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, antiimmigrant, dishonest or destruct i have to democratic institutions, paul, thats pandering, thats pandering to every buzz word in the antitrump left, the idea that they are always suburban people who agree with that, mitt is trying to assemble his 2020 coalition. It could not be more obvious. Paul but, kim, you know, when you run in primary challenge, nobody ever wins those, i mean, they can really do a lot of damage to the incumbent but i cant recall somebody who won a challenge like that, win a couple of primaries, maybe, you dont win the nomination. Yeah, everything is stacked against you, the power of incumbent and sitting president is enormous and, remember, that even if the president hasnt necessarily rallied the entire spectrum of the conservative world around him, the institution of the presidency are behind him. The party apparatus, everything is designed to protect and make it hard for challenger to succeed. Romney has to know that. All i have to say is the animus that drives a lot of never trumpers is so huge i think it didnt necessarily sort of cloud their Clear Thinking on the success possibilities here. Paul kate, one of the things that was striking to me, romney didnt really note major policy difference with the president , generals, talk about rhetoric and character, so the question becomes where t would he draw policy lines with the president , would it be trade, would it be immigration, foreign policy, i suppose but they werent in the oped. Thats what stuck out to oped, trump has had accomplishments but things republicans dont agree on and that reveals misunderstanding why people took a chance on trump. When mitt romney would have released list of judge that is he would have put, i dont know the answer to that, would he have revealed clean power plant or withdrawn from paris agreement, realities of trump on why people took a chance on besides character, aside from character and in spite of it. Mitt is not really understanding that. Paul and i mean, if i were advising romney and im not, i would but i would suggest, if you want to take trump, fine, take him on trade, for example, say, we are going to rein in mr. President , i will try to assemble a coalition to rein in your y possibility to willy nily impose tariffs, okay, you will have to better reason than you woke up one day and impose tariffs and called it national security. We are all getting toward the point to which this piece had no point other than present mitt romney as plan b for 2020 if Republican Voters tire of donald trump. Paul setting him up a year from now if things go badly with trump, if the economy goes bad, if hes impeached, if Mueller Report is bad, that sort of yeah, no one believes it because romney has gone back and forth. Paul thats not it. You believe that, you dont . You look at romneys history, embraced or shunned trump over and over, depending on when it was convenient for mitt romney, if i was were adviser the country lost something when you left the private equity industry, you had many measures better record than warren buffet. Since then, the political record is not not as impressive. Paul dan, last word. Well, mitt romney, significant figure, hes going to be a player in washington for the next f year and hes a very adept guy at doing this sort of thing itll be impossible to avoid mitt for the next 12 months. Paul we should take one more break, when we come back our panels predictions for 2019. Tech at Safelite Autoglass we know that when youre spending time with the grandkids every minute counts. And you dont have time for a cracked windshield. Thats why we show you exactly when well be there. Saving you time, so you can keep saving the world. Kids safelite repair, safelite replace. Paul time now for our panels predictions time now for panels predictions for 29 f team. Jim starts off. This is probably what my kids would call the node to a prediction. Sometimes you got to take the easy shots. Im going to predict that House Democrats impeach donald trump thisis year. They vowed up and down on the campaign trail thats not what they were going to do, but lo and behold the first ave. Congress you are to have legislation from the democratic side filed to impeach him. I dont think w its going to happen right away. Theyll hold off until they get a report from r Robert Mueller d see what they get in their investigation. Some readers might not want to put the pressure from the left will be too great to resist. James beard weve been talking about how t weve been enjoying 1980s style economic growth, job creation. Were also going to enjoy college basketball. My prediction is georgetown now coached by star player Patrick Cunanan st. Johns now by chris mullen will be back in the ncaa tournament this year. [inaudible] absolutely. Paul, my prediction is this year we get a deal on the young adult dreamers who were brought to this country illegally. We talked about that earlier in the show. I think is James Freeman said its been out there a long time and they can trade order security and wall funding for theat president. Trump has said he has compassion for individuals who are brought here to serve in the military and go to college. I think this comes after a Favorable Supreme Court ruling to trump and i think it would be good for the country. Dan beard im going to make a prediction about the outcome of theio o Mueller Report that i cn also make a prediction wanting to come out in 2019. This he does issueue this repor, the two things are whether the president s campaign colluded with the russians at a very high level and whether President Trump obstructed justice.
