if it s going to be a deal to b made, it s got to come from congress. i think they ve got a couple more, but i don t see the president compromise on the wal at this point. democrats used to be in favo of some sort of a wall they use to be in favor of border security, but now it seems like things have really changed. let me ask you, what is wrong with border security, why is that all of a sudden become taboo with democrats? i don t think it has. i think the president outlined in his campaign that there woul be a wall, that is basically a little bit so to speak. they cannot negotiate out of that deal. have historically democrats hav voted in favor of some of the border security. if you draw a line in the sand
. i believe pushes us back to the point where congress and the executive branch article one an article two are the way the founding fathers originally intended. he should veto it. hopefully that does bring them together. someone can emerge. border security and the wall, you re right, democrats supported the wall with president obama in 2012. this is become more of a campaign issue. i think that s the unfortunate aspect of this. if there was a deal to be made on baca, i can tell you i was involved in a lot of those negotiations. we are going to have to interrupt and ended there. were out of time. thanks so much,
to have a democrat controlled congress. we have a government shutdown. he has taught with the economy is one of the foremost accomplishment of his presidenc so far. he needs the economy to continu to be strong. people always look to the stock market i wasn t that long ago we are at 25,000. you just listed off a number of things that are not so great right now. what you think it takes to get the stock market back on track? i think it will take a lot o analyst for the president to really stop tweeting that his problems with the bed, his problems with jerome powell who is the chairman that he himself installed of course raising questions about whether or not he is going to fire jerome powell in the first place. this week and we saw top
in washington and not the american people. they just want the government reopened and they want a deal worked out sooner than later. who is the adult in the room? someone has to step forward and move some sort of a compromise forward. that the only way it s going to get done and i don t know right now there s anybody who s going to compromise that s acceptable to both sides. really with donald trump, he made his number one commitment while he is running for office to build the wall. i don t think he s in a situation where you get himself out of that. you also have what s going on between congress and the white house. several presidents now in a row have expanded the regulatory state without bringing congress into the realm there. and in elementary school congress is supposed to pass th laws at all they been passing lately is the buck. from that, to be able to bring that together.
and say it lets you get five blame not going to open up the government, i think we all have a problem. i agree with chris about the fact that there s been a a remarkable abdication of responsibility and congress of the last decade. they fundamentally haven t passed a budget. they ve been operating on continuing resolutions which really emboldened and empowers the executive branch in many respects dictate how the budget will be. i think this is the point for congress to really step up and re- exert their constitutional responsibility. i think the fact that they sent it back to washington, dc and have a. how about that. president obama hands up at executive orders. so, when does congress say we have a job to do too? it looks like this kind of what they re doing there. for them not to pass, not to agree to move forward on the stopgap measures this time is how congress is supposed to work
