are handling the rest r arrests at the border because the border patrol aren t allowed to do their job and the homeland security secretary that allow ice agents to be attacked and you don t have their back. you say you support their right to protest is what the press secretary said? protest what? you can t protest the law. it is really shameful what is happening at the border. dana: what about vice president kamala harris is supposed to be working on root causes. she hasn t made any comment about the border until she misunderstood, misinterpreted and basically disparaged those border patrol agents and maxine waters made the comments she did it is worse than slavery and also you had al sharpton go down. now that conversation shifts to something rather than illegal immigrants coming across the border. it was the goal. the smoke screen. the moment the story was leaked out. being down there i saw what the press were doing on the ground.
the groups to watch are end peptsz as well as suburban women. those are the when constituencies that will make a difference going into the next election. it s true opinions are sharply divided along partisan lines but there s another poll out today, usa today/suffolk university poll, that shows a significant gender gap in how americans view impeachment which is notable because a majority of men are likely to say they oppose but women support impeachment by double digits. that s one poll. republicans in particular in the 2018 midterms struggled to gain support from suburban women, at least one of the groups that swung away from republicans and helped democrats retake the majority. those are the numbers that senate republicans will be looking at as the conversation shifts from the house where a lot of attention has been on the moderate democrats and to the vulnerable republicans in the senate. let s talk about what this means for the senate because i
who attended the funeral of his mother today. your words were so powerful. i appreciate everything you just said. our hearts are with you and the victims and their families. i want to keep them front and center in our conversations. naturally the conversation shifts to politics. you have said you re personally embarrassed that common sense gun laws are only proposed by democrats. what are you calling for now? well, i m getting behind the governor the governor came out on tuesday with a 14-point proposal that s everything from background checks, red flag legislation, dealing with mental health issues, dealing with some of our laws around what occurred what happens when a

where democrats are willing, you know, to budge? is it an issue of the figure for the wall where they re malleable, or is it an issue of permanent wall for more permanent path for daca recipients but saying a temporary extension versus a permanent wall, you know, they re not willing to budge? that is the pressure point right now, fred. what i m hearing from democratic sources in both the house and senate is that if the conversation shifts to permanent protections for daca recipients, tps recipients, then that s something they feel they might get on board with. but where republicans are really happy right now is it s not so much the substance of trump s proposal they re rallying around but rather the notion that quite publicly the white house has been the first to try and break this stalemate by way of a very public, you know, theatrical offer. they feel it s now on the onus of democrats to take this and either make a counteroffer or
