your emergency, we need barriers to help us do our job and you basically get ignored by many on the left. of course, that s been happening and we have been meeting with members of congress, let them know the realities to make sure that we don t let the fake news media dictate what is happening on the border. all border patrol agents are being ignored, ice agents are being ignored. we have to make sure that congressional leaders pay attention to the border security experts, president trump has done a great job with meeting border patrol agents and he s one of the first presidents meeting with agents and we just hope that those members of congress do the same thing. rob: yeah, the new york times says that the border is at a breaking point. it is not sustainable. thank you, sir, very much, we appreciate it. thank you. rob: carley, over to you. carley: thanks, rob, he lost both of the legs and one arm after stepping on land mine
why they came up with this decision we don t understand. they did not listen to the border security experts on the wall or immigration. bill: you mentioned laredo. is there a wall there? zero walls. how is the level of crime? you run across the border in texas we have very dangerous drug cartel that conducts human and drug smuggling to include human trafficking. we only have two miles of river roads in that area out of the 170 miles of border that we have in laredo only. if you get what you re looking for, what would it take to accomplish the mission. president trump s will to make sure he declares an emergency declaration to make sure we build the wall but also take care of other aspects of border security including employee retention. right now border patrol agents we re undermanned by 2,000. the congressmen aren t talking about it. it is not in the bill. bill: that s a half measure in your view.
build a 30-foot concrete wall to wall everybody out, and you had people chanting for that. he boiled it down into this elementary-style, very, you know, juvenile chant where it s not even practical. border security experts i ve spoken to and that i ve worked with in the past have said to me, listen, yes, physical barriers work where necessary in conjunction with other things like technology, like more border patrol agents, like tara, you ve worked on this issue before. wasn t that all done from previous administrations? they were improving some of the barriers and figuring out where to add more wall. that was the 2006 secure fence act. so this is all made up. it funded 700 miles of the wall. i ve been to the border down by el paso, and i worked on the border agent case. i saw where there wasn t fencing, where there needed to be, and then they put some in that area. so, you know, it defies logic,

senator chris coons i m delaware, surprised about the cancer research at the end of the day, that is not a lot of money. and here s something chris coons said to me, a lot of engaging proposals in the speech, but they lacked details. you know it didn t happen in the speech? there was no conversation directly about a border wall, and that is significant to this conversation about a government shutdown. as the conference committee tries to forge a deal in the next ten days. ed: why does the conference committee meet next? what do we know about that? a deadline about 90s away, what are the prospects of a deal on immigration? in just a few hours, members of that committee will have a bipartisan, bicameral classified briefing with border security experts, people who will come in and say this is what we need on the border, this is what we don t need on the border. border security folks and these appropriators, they respond to what they tell them.
