the republicans have to do it, the democrats have to do it because the reliance on each other. democrats want a favorable daca bill so do republicans and the question is what are going to be the terms to the border security what are the terms to broader immigration and trish: and where do they get the money of course for the wall. by the way i have an idea for the president on this one. i think he could call steven mnuchin over at treasury and have him take a good hard look at the private equity carried interest loophole that could save americans $180 billion a year so that would build a lot of walls that does it for sunday morning good to see you guys i m trish regan in for maria i ll be back tomorrow on the fox news channel filling in for neil.
trish: the countdown is on we got the new year coming up and in well a matter of hours so what are the biggest stories do you think that 2018 capture? we re back with our panel right now. brad, i would imagine still the whole russia thing, right? well i don t think so. i think we ll be able to pivot the issues and i would urge the viewers to focus like a laser beam on january 30 the day that president trump will give his state of the union and that s the roadmap to where we re going up to the midterm elections and beyond. i think the president needs to reach out his hand across the aisle because now, we need democrats. the numbers are against us in the senate and we have to tackle infrastructure, immigration, daca, sunsets in march and if we re really in a bipartisan spirit we ll be able to knockout healthcare so i think this is going to be a year of issues.
think they would want to be able to do that. now, i do think we could deal with daca but we also have to deal with chain migration and deal with a seem um reform and deal with sanctuary cities where it wasn t too long ago this administration lost a court case on sanctuary cities, some simple language in the next appropriations bill and you could actually solve that problem. trish: and it s wild to think even the ninth circuit there telling the president he cannot have the power to decide who comes into this country at any given time, so that of course was reversed but you know chain migration is a big one. a lot of democrats i ve spoken to say well the president s family came here on chain migration, but what s different about when the president s family came here and the environment we re now living in representative? well look, we have just been dealing with even in the last few days, people that are here illegally you have the governor of california, the governor of new york taki
you this morning on new year s eve. happy new year. thank you. trish: thank you very much. are they going to work this one out? we aren t going to have a budget shutdown are we? well january 19 is a big day and you re going to have this battle royale between the conservatives an i think the democrats and immigration is going to be front and center. democrats have made no bones about it they want daca reform. i think the president has signaled he s open to that but at the same time, this president was elected on tough border security and he s going to get funding for that wall and he s going to have to deal with chain migration and a host of other immigration issues. trish representative chaffetz how will they go for that? the democrats want daca reform but the wall symbolize physically physically symbolize everything that they dislike about this president, which is a little bit exaggerated if you ask me only because it s symbolic for controlling our
president and hand him another legislative victory. so i think the chances are slim that we ll see democrats partner up with republicans, with one exception. and that s on daca reform, which i think is important and i think we will see some kind of bipartisan deal on that in the opening months of the new year. because even some republicans wanted to get something done before the new year on that. all right, thank you to the three of you. do appreciate it. thank you. thank you. and outfront up next, the squeeze intensifying on north korea to halt its nuclear weapons threat. new sanctions tonight against officials in the rogue nation. and alarm in the u.s. over aggressive moves by russia. the latest a spy ship coming close to the british coast. so what is putin up to? we ll be back. most everything so we know how to cover almost anything. even a swing set standoff.
