president trump: i just want to thank the mexican government because they are stopping it before it ever gets to mexico. as you know, i m willing to send the military to defend our southern border, if necessary. all because of the illegal immigration onslaught brought by the democrats, because they refuse to acknowledge or to change the laws. they like him. melissa: eric, let me start with you. it s logical that the u.n. would go down there and it set up a place to process people, to look for refugees and where they should go, why wasn t this done before? before they had to travel through an entire country which is a fairly long country. isn t it a relief? aside from sending the military to our border, aside from setting up refugee camps on our border, isn t it a great relief that he also said, you know, we will stop funding all the countries who aren t helping.
ban for certain dangerous countries not a poiltically correct term that won t help us protect our people. listening to your answer i was going to ask whether it s helping or hurting. the tweets aren t helping. proper judicial reasoning. you don t look beyond the four corners of the policy. this policy is justified in the black and white letter of the immigration law. there is no question about that. we ve seen activist judges look beyond the four corners and go to things he said during the campaign and say this makes this policy illegitimate. you hope the supreme court is better than that but very often it isn t. smart clients bill: his son argues he puts an opinion out there and two weeks later he is termed right. smart clients let the lawyers talk for them in court. donald trump needs to be a

tensions down. but any sort of agreement like this is still going to be a while away. today is really just the meeting between kerry and benjamin netanyahu. it s just gotten underway. we re not sure if we ll get a statement later on, but we ll bring it to you if we get it. we ll see if anything comes from it. what and yesterday s meeting between prime minister netanyahu and german chancellor, angela merkel? we know about the controversy that erupted. we ll cover that in the next story, but did anything productive come from that meeting? reporter: i think germany was calling for calm, saying the emotional statements aren t helping. most importantly, standing next to prime minister netanyahu chancellor angela merkel essentially refuted his comments about the holocaust. she said germany maintains its responsibility for what happened
