people to the rolls, how does he know that if he is not counting? how do they have any idea between 18-25? he doesn t want to count them but counting it to make the budget work. in terms of the citizenship question, i heard in that clip a moment ago, the mayor from south bend, pete buttigieg, he said 11 million people. as you know, i said time and time again when i m on fox, if not 11 million people, it s about 30 million people. it would be a million just this year. laura: they don t want anyone to know. we should know who is here. laura: they want more money, more representation, for the states that have big legal populations, that it be yours included, but they really don t want the american people to know the extent of the complete lawlessness at the border and the dereliction of duty that we ve seen, frankly before trum, came along. you and i talked about, dan, for 20 years. this has been going on the
but my budget work took me away from that. these things are very important. what this is going to do i think the congress, being so political, the congress is going to look at this law. they re going to say whether the president has too much authority. i was a governor. i like executive authority. but there s a point at which if you cross you so infuriate the people you have to work with you don t get anything done. we have a deficit, we have to figure out health care, infrastructure, if all you re doing is a war and you burned every bridge you can burn, how are you going to get anything done? and the mistrust that settles in between the partisans both in washington and the partisans across the country, this is not healthy. i hate to keep making this statement, i feel like i ve been doing this now for two years, but it has to be called out. i think the congress is going to review this law and it s a very
what amount they want to do, democrats have been clear. frankly, this is everybody sitting in the same room to resolve this. myself, joni ernst, david perdue, months ago, put out a proposal to say we can end government shutdowns in a simple way congresstant leave. everybody has to congresstant leave. everybody has to stay in session, on the floor, to resolve differences. that s the way you get things resolved. we tried to get it done earlier this year. this is not just a partisan issue, this is a process issue that congress has to resolve. when you have differences, you don t hold the american people at harm by doing a government shutdown. keep that funding going, but hold congress in place until the budget work is done. reporter: it seems like it s a failure on many people s levels, many people s parts. right. reporter: i want to go back to the frustration that i know many republicans feel. and perhaps yourself, as well, is how do you know what to bank on here. is the presid
harken back to the days when there was a budget process, we haven t been able to get there. here is the consequence of that, where we are today. is that inherently problematic? the fact that way things run now is on a much shorter verizon? it s terrible. you can t do the kind of planning you should do. you have a greater risk of shutdowns and you can t have the budget work in the way it should with maximum participation from all members of congress. it becomes a series of hostage negotiations over and over and over again. look, the most basic duty of these lawmakers is to pass a bill to fund the government. it s the least anyone can ask of them. what they re doing right now is saying, i refuse to compromise. i want all my marbles and, look, each part is going to get some things it wants and some it doesn t in each of these rounds and they have to accept that eventually. josh, i remember when this first started happening, business leaders said they were worried about the consequence
