chronicled trump is real estate tycoon, in negotiations, how much does simply getting a deal matter to him as opposed to getting a good deal? i think it s important to him that he return from his talks with something to show for it, it s going to be very important for his image, his self-image, to be able to say i achieved something. in a way i think he already has achieved something. we need to give him credit for getting us to this point where they re sitting down to talk. it s interesting hearing the report on the preparation, mr. bolton has talked about the miracle briefings he has and that he has talked to president xi and others, i don t think he ll prepare in the way that
this issue because we are moderate restrictionists on immigration. i do think that if this deal, if something close to this deal ends up being what people vote on, i think a lot of republicans would be able to go back to their voters and say, hey, we got a wall. we got a kind of reform to the legal immigration system that nobody had even been talking about before this year. but the terms of the deal matter a lot. people have a lot of distrust, especially republican primary voters, that you re really going to enforce the laws going forward. we know there s so many ways that wall, you can fund the wall, it may never get built. going to be hard to get it built in some of these places. not much federal land that the federal government truly controls to build this wall. what about mexico paying for it? what happened to that? that s we re going back into the gpp and we re not going to kill nafta. stick around. up ahead, what does this look like to you? it s not a raur shaw test
good answer but it is more likely than we ve had this similar conversation. but like casey you ll eat your wheaty this is week. and in a conversation, trump said lindsey graham meant well in immigration talks but he doesn t represent a majority of the republicans on issue. the deal was the opposite of what i campaigned for on immigration and was unacceptable. to what degree does what the president said about this deal matter to the deal and the potential shut down? it matters a lot. look, he s right about lindsey graham. the only person to the left of lindsey graham is probably jeff flake. and you have some of the more liberal republican senators on immigration negotiating with the democrats and they don t necessarily peek speak from the tom cottons and others and there saying i m not going forward with something i m not sure the president will support and the president has not been clear other than to say he ll
prime minister netanyahu or for that matter some of the republican leadership that s already spoken none of them have presented to me a better alternative. my hope is that everyone in congress evaluates this agreement based on the facts. not on politics. the details of this deal matter very much. i hope we don t lose sight of the larger picture. if we don t choose wisely i believe future generations will judge us harshly for letting this moment slip away. hours ago president obama took to the mic to offer an exhaustive and energetic defense of his landmark nuke loor deal with iran. taking questions for over o an hour the president outlined the stakes. we ve got an historic chance to pursue a safer and more secure world, an opportunity that may not come again in our lifetimes. and as president and as commander in chief i am determined to seize that
from a nuclear weapon displays american leadership and diplomacy. it shows what we can accomplish when we lead from a position of strength and a position of principle. when we unite the international community around a shared vision and we resolve to solve problems peacefully. as i said yesterday, it s important for the american people and congress to get a full opportunity to review this deal. that process is now under way. i ve already reached out to leaders in congress on both sides of the aisle. my national security team has begun offering extensive briefings. i expect the debate to be robust, and that s how it should be. this is an important issue. our national security policies are stronger and more effective when they are subject to the scrutiny and transparency that democracy demands. as i said yesterday, the details of this deal matter very much. that s why our team worked so hard for so long to get the
