absolutely. this judicial meddling has to stop. eventually it will go to the supreme court and we believe the law is on our side. let s say this logically for a moment. democrats believe that barack obama had the law on his side to create this daca out of if that s the case and the president does have that power, then doesn t the president regardless of the next president and regardless of party doesn t the next president have the power to stop daca as well? logically it makes sense the president has to stop it. this judicial meddling from activist judges we re quite frankly appalled by it but we have to get a solution. the time for talk is over. we have to protect the american people first and have to offer something to these daca folks. we have to get a fix in place that s lasting and we won t see ourselves back in the same position in five to six to seven years. jon: i think everybody would agree on that. hogan gidley, the deputy white house press secretary. good to have you o
as mark said i agree with what he said. results versus resistance. resistance to me is an exercise in futility. americans are demanding that we give them a coherent message. that s what my party right now is lacking. so i would like to see that in the future, julie. julie: mark, what does it mean for the future of democrats, first of all? the california democrats not endorsing feinstein is a very clear message. it is also interesting to look at the fact if you look at democrats actually succeeding and winning elections across the country. they aren t handpicked by the dnc. these are people separating themselves from the actual party. the president very much not a politician separated himself from the rnc. is this the wave of the future when it comes to politics? i don t think so. what we re seeing right now i think is very similar to what you saw shortly after the election of president obama back in 2008 where you had divisions that cropped up in
again with no fix in sight. what will happen? it s incredible that congress refuses to come to the table to get something accomplished on this issue. let s not forget when president barack obama had the white house as a democrat, the house he controlled also the democrat party and had a filibuster-proof senate and made a campaign promise to fix the issue within the first 100 days and democrats didn t touch it. what president trump has done is proven the hypocrisy of the democrats. he offered them a common sense solution three times what president obama wanted with regards to potential pathway to citizenship and democrats refused to keep the government open. they shut down the government hurting the american people as opposed to protecting people who are here illegally and unlawfully. jon: you are talking about the president s offer of citizenship or a path to citizenship for 1.8 million of the so-called draoerms.
it will be very hard to get them. we re writing out bump stocks. julie: you know, what the president is doing here should be making many of those who criticize the president sort of sit back and say look, this republican president is trying to do something and he is brave enough to go against the nra. something that former past republican presidents have not done. he also trying to do something here that president barack obama didn t accomplish. the question here is the exact mechanism for how they ll go about making these bump stocks illegal. back in 2010, atf, the justice department agency that regulates firearms decided that they didn t actually have the authority to do so. they said it would be up to congress to pass legislation making these illegal and therefore kind of pass the buck. what trump has ordered is the justice department to complete a thorough review, asked them to expedite that review and you
jon: the supreme court declines to hear a challenge to a lower court ruling that the president cannot terminate the daca program. that means the dreamers program stays in place at least for now. senator lindsey graham of south carolina laying out what it means going forward. if we did nothing and just ended daca and did nothing else and a lot of these young people start getting deported, then that would destroy the party. i don t think that s even a viable option. the options are to put it down the road until later or the president engage again and see where the sweet spot is. it s clear to me after those four votes you know where the sweet spot is at. border security for daca. jon: joining us now republican congressman from new york lee president obama made the action deferred. president trump tried to set
