first time the president and the prime minister have met, topping the agenda the effects of new us tariffs on trade in ireland s position in post breakfast europe. rob: throwing cold water on the possibility of a deal linking daca to border wall funding, spokesperson shooting the washington post reports that donald trump was open to a 3 for 3 deal that would set aside three years of border wall money in exchange for a three year renewal of the obama era daca program. the idea was proposed by sen. jeff flake during an immigration debate. jillian: he once a new price on brand-new fighter jets or else. we asked congress to fund 24 brand-new f-18s, we are working on price and maybe we can work out a good price.
existing wall that was built, began being biltmore than 20 years ago that has made san diego the safest large city on the mexican border. we have a series of walls and fences from which appropriately they re drawing some of these prototypes and the president will see that. he will see what works on the tijuana-san diego border. he will look at these and symbolically he s going to say let s do for america what we did for san diego under congressman duncan hunter s leadership some years ago. i want to mention, then he s going to move to miramar where we ll see challenges that our marines are facing with the aging aircraft and the f-18s that have exceeded by 50% what was supposed to be the retirement dates. he s doing important things related to national defense. not just defense by obviously with our marines and the men and women that gout of 0 go out
obama s stimulus boondoggle. go tell people in the military the maintenance backlog is a mile long, 68% of the f-18s in the navy can t fly because we don t have the spare parts. tell that to the men and women who have done multiple tours because we don t have enough soldiers in the army. i like jim jordan. he is a great guy. the freedom is not free, the freedom caucus is a good group of conservatives but freedom is not delivered by anybody on capitol hill. it is delivered by the men and women who have been at war for the last 17 years all over the world who need more help, not less from congress. so i m going to vote yes and i m going to go on the floor and talk about what it means to vote no. it means you are putting the military behind the 8 ball again and they have less resources to do their job with and their families suffer longer. sandra: it has nothing for dreamers in it and we heard a lot about that from nancy pelosi yesterday. more than eight hours she spoke.
to put that video up again of the f-18s that had intercepted something they said looked like a tic-tac. part of what you learned was there are things out there and sometimes there s no logical explanation but that had great ve lotty. they operated at great speed, unusual shapes. no obvious method of propulsion. no obvious method for lift even though things would just hover there. it doesn t mean it s alien, but it means it s unexplained, right? yes. that s correct. it simply means we don t know what it is. it doesn t match a profile of any known aircraft we have and think others might have as well. so the bottom line is we don t really know what it is. but it is maneuvering and operating in a fashion that really is uncharacteristic of anything that we have seen flying before. what keeps you up at night?
situation. doug: the politico piece from last week which shows that the leadership of the country is closely linked to hezbollah and the drug trade in this country as well. daniel, i want to talk about how the lack of preparedness of the u.s. military focuses in on this, is linked due to the work of jennifer griffin and lucas tomlinson at the pentagon. we know about 70% of marine corps f-18s can t fly. 53% of navy aircraft can t fly. 62% of hornets are out of service. there is a shortage of pilots unless then 50% of the bomber fleet our mission ready. frightening statistics. that you can clearly blame on other presidents.
