compliments. i m serious. i want to ask you an overview question. the year i was born, 1969, the united states had 202 million country.ving in this 2015, the population had gone to 324 million, more than 60% increase. three years later, even higher. 2,065, it s expected to be at 118% increase. all of that pretty much is due to immigration. my question to you is, what is the right number? immigration shapes the number oi people who are here, it drives that. how many people should live in this country? that s a really interesting question. i haven t spent a lot of time thinking through it. i feel like it is certainly one worth discussing and trying to figure out what our policies should be with regard to growth. perfectly rational discussion to have. tucker: i said that the central question?
their constituents and people they care about. this is something he is going to have to fix or he needs these people on the hill. they re not happy right now. do you think they appreciate the uproar at the white house, gloria, that s under way right now? it s very hard to tell, wolf. in listening to sean spicer s press conference today. the word he kept using was exaggerated. this was all exaggerated. another word he kept using was overblown. the reaction is overblown. only 109 people were detained. as a result we have made 324 million people in the united states safer. that is not what national security officials believe. i think that they are sort of pushing it aside or live in a different universe and say, you know what, our supporters i think they re speaking to it their supporters and saying we did exactly what we said we were going to do. the question i have and others i
and i so hold on. i m going to finish is a sil celia s questions. to make sure that somebody is inconvenienced a little. people experience this all the time going out of tsa. we have to wait in lines, too. but we do so to make sure we are getting on a plane to make sure we are going to a des anation, not committing a nefarious act. i think the safety of our country and our people is at the forefront of this president s head. this is where he wants to go. i think we have got to keep all of this into proportion. we had 109 people that were temporarily detained. their all in, but they were temp rarely detained to make sure that the set a of the other 324 million other americans was put first. i don t see how that s a problem. advocacy groups are saying we already have extreme investigate. it takes anywhere from 18 to 24
spicer today on this immigration ban was that he believes that the reaction is completely overblown. and i think he would probably believe that barack obama s reaction to it is overblown. he seemed to think that everybody was exaggerating the issue over the weekend, that only 109 people had been detained. and that was surely worth the safety as he put it of 324 million americans. so he thinks that the impact be that blown way out of proportion and exaggerated. and that is the fight that we re going to have. and now the former president has just weighed in on it. and he also said with regard to comparisons to president obama s foreign policy decisions he is talking about the 2011 pause that we saw that actually a lot of administration first from the obama ds officials from the obama they are rejecting the comparison that we ve heard the trump
and i and so hold on. i m going to finish cecilia s question since she was so good on the second one. to make sure someone is inconvenienced a little bit people experience this all the time. sometimes going in and out of tsa. we have to wait in lines, too, but we do so to make sure we re getting on a plane to make sure we re going to a destination not committing a nefarious act. i think the safety of our country, the safety of our people, is always going to be at the forefront of this president s head. this is where he wants to go. again, i think we have to keep all of this into proportion. we had 109 people that were temporarily detained. they re all in. but they were temporarily detained to make sure that the safety of the other 324 million americans was put first. i don t see how that s a big problem. sean, follow up on the extreme vetting. advocacy groups are saying we already have extreme vetting. it takes anywhere from 18 to 24 months for people who are
