voters. she s actually got a lead among white voters, but with non-white voters, she s still trying to build some momentum. can i disagree with david a little bit? come on, that 298 sample, that s a rinky dink poll. sorry, i mean, monmouth has often done good work, but i think that poll itself is kind of a joke. however, i don t think the elizabeth warren crowds are a joke at all. if you look at the last three presidency ele presidents elected, donald trump, barack obama, george w. bush, very different people in every respect. but when they ran for president especially the first time, they had tremendous enthusiasm and big crowds. big crowds matter. and the fact that warren is getting them and other candidates are not, i think that really does tell you something. yeah, no, i think that s right, jeffrey. i tend to agree with you, you would like a bigger sample. in this case, the crowd matter, but i think part of that is because senator warren has been able to build steadily behind
wow. that would be a long time for me to report on this for life. oh my gosh. walter, this is why the founders crafted the amal yumts clause. strict constitutionalist, strict constitutionalists. there are some. many members of the president s party, i should say, they don t apparently don t believe in the emoluments clause or the constitution. it s unfrrnt because throughout this administration congress could have stepped in and done some hearings or any kind of active oversight to reign him in. as it stands, a number of groups are having to sue the president to try to get him to comply with the emoluments clause in the constitution which was the original conflict of interest provision that our founders put into the constitution. i do disagree with david a
our country. have those who want more gun control reforms line up against those who don t and let s settle this for a change. andy, do you think that will happen? i m a little curious about the timing. because frankly i think that what this is going to do is just energize republicans. we re already seeing them rather upset with the president and how he s put other policies in place. so we re seeing in the cnn poll that 54% of all of the country said they oppose the use of executive orders, for example, to have this implemented. so i think it is going to do much to energize republicans as the clips you showed earlier said. and with democrats frankly this is part of the democratic dogma now for many many decades. so i don t think that it is going to do much on the democratic side within the primary. a a general election campaign this could come up. i might disagree with david a little bit that gun control has really never been a significant issue in terms of how people decide they ar
appropriations process this summer, now that we have returned the power of the purse to the house, we forced the president to sign a budget, what you re going to see us go to the floor and do is disallow spending on programs that have outlived their usefulness. defund navigators, defund the extra irs agents. defund a lot of obamacare because that s how we do it, absolutely we will do it. here s my issue. i have to go back to this. it hasn t. it hasn t been effective enough. i understand the plan of taking a haircut here off things. there s over $400 billion in duplicative programs according to a gao audit. these programs are not being dealt with in the house. unfortunately, the republicans have been as guilty and are as guilty of pandering to things that support what keeps them in power. i m going to push back on david a little bit. david, what i don t think the tea party understands is when you get elected, government is about compromise. and the first thing when i think
but i boil it down to this. they can t figure out how to make their message relevant to an 18-year-old latino voter, but they can figure out a way to make it relevant to a 65-year-old white guy in the south. i mean, if you believe in conservatism, you believe, like i believe and i m sure like david believes, that it s relevant to all americans. i disagree with david a little bit in this respect. i think immigration is more than just a policy. i think it is it s a cultural issue. it s a tone issue. i think a lot of how republicans, including mitt romney, ended up talking about immigration was frankly inhumane. talking about self-deportation. not talking about, you know, in a compassionate way about families that are coming to this country to survive, to help families back home, and really sort of understanding what immigrants contribute to the country. president george w. bush, he understood that. he understood it as a candidate. he understood it as a conservative. he understood it
