safe havens. [inaudible question] i m not getting into our meeting yesterday. that s a private conversation. what we as republicans in the administration agrees is, daca is a symptom of a problem we don t have control over our borders. while we deal with this issue with the president is having congress deal with, it s only reasonable we deal with the root cause of the problem, open borders, uncontrollable borders. we need to control our borders while we do with those problems we don t have the same problem ten years from now. that s perfectly reasonable and it wasn t too long ago that i
administration kicking the daca issued to congress this week sparking a backlash from advocates and lawmakers in the media. howard kurtz writing president trump s decision ending dreamers program and six months with the compromise that largely satisfies no one. i can t think of another issue this year on the mainstream media has been so fully and unapologetically aligned against trump and in favor of preserving an obama program. joining us now, fox news analyst howard kurtz. nice to see you. do you get the feeling that the media loves dreamers and the daca program, or did they love this story because it makes for such a wonderfully personal articles when they go find a dreamer who is doing while who s not worried? there s something to that, but there is also a lot of compassion for these 800,000 younger immigrants brought here illegally by their parents. for all the negative coverage this year against president trump, he s been
kind of competition that you need in order to bring races down or at least stabilize the marketplace. it is when ask you these were included before. with the calendar coming up and the debt ceiling. how are lawmakers going to get this all in. to name just a few things that we have to do. it has to be done if are going to do it in september has to be bipartisan. i think the senate is also focused on this issue and there is not a lot of time for debate which is why many of us had been working on this over the summer and the potential that the broader aca reform or repeal and replace effort would not succeed which it did it. we are at a point in time well had to jump in and immediately do this. hopefully the president will find this so we don t have to
out on day number one of this health care bill today opposing it and opposing it very specifically. you could see there wasn t a bit of fear of donald trump, paul ryan, mitch mcconnell, of them coming out here and saying this is disastrous for the deficit. you re saying that will effect more of the legislative process. aca reform is an elbow of wax. these different camps of lawmakers i don t mean to get it into specifically, but there s so many other things coming along that paul ryan is going to need to call up the president and say, hey, i need you to lean on joe from wherever because right. think about how you pass a big piece of legislation, right? yep. you have a coordinated attack by the president s office of legislative affairs. you have him lobbying people. you have his people lobbying people. it s very difficult. it takes a lot of energy and capital. if you re squandering your
president to coax these members into doing something risky and half the things he wants them to do are risky. i was surprised that the number of republicans that came out on day number one of this health care bill today opposing it and opposing it very specifically. you could see there wasn t a bit of fear of donald trump, paul ryan, mitch mcconnell, of them coming out here and saying this is disastrous for the deficit. you re saying that will effect more of the legislative process. aca reform is an elbow of wax. these different camps of lawmakers i don t mean to get it into specifically, but there s so many other things coming along that paul ryan is going to need to call up the president and say, hey, i need you to lean on joe from wherever because right. think about how you pass a big piece of legislation, right? yep. you have a coordinated attack by the president s office of legislative affairs. you have him lobbying people. you have his people lobbying
