committee, partly as the chairman, trying to get the democrats to be interested in openness, transparency, and accountability, but suddenly, they nowow have found religion n that side of it, now that donald trump is the president. how do you see it? they don t consult the bible when it comes to things like same-sex marriage, and where were these born-again evangelists when jack phillips, the owner of the cake shop in colorado was forced to bake a cake, they tried to force him to bake a cake for a gay wedding. if they are so concerned about the religious convictions, where were they then? it s so much hypocrisy. jason: michelle, how do you see it? this is not the only situation where they have done this.s. again, accountability is something i have not seen them take on in eight years of barack obama and now they have found it. yes, they have found all manner of religion. of course, to add to larry s
it s a simple equation. i look at this and say, doesio a wall make it more or less safe and secure? every place it says build the wall. san diego, el paso, every place they built a barrier or a wall, a wall-like barrier, the results have been decreasing illegal immigration, decrease in drug supply. i again, the data is there. democrats say the wall won t work. they are ignoring the data. every place it has been put up, it has worked 100% of the time. so if this works, what price are you putting on the national security and public safety? i talked to theri president tody a couple of hours ago, here is a man i don t thinkti is going to back down on this. i pretty much said the same thing rush did, stick to your guns, fight the good fight, you are doing the good thing, you are protecting the security of this country, that is your job
is the president had also nancy pelosi s job but rather than doing that, she would rather ss jason: i think clearly the democrats love the issue but i don t think it resonates to the american people. i think they know that this president is fighting to secure the border. last question. you spent decades in the service, you understand the border patrol, youcu understand customs and immigration immigrations and customs enforcement. what do you think they would say to the president and thehe membs of the congressof and the house and senate that have to vote on this?an do they or do they not want a wall? they want a wall. the men and women on the border, i wore that green uniform, they are asking for the government s help. you go to the national law enforcement, they have given their lives for this country, lot of i.c.e. agents. the wall works, they know it, they are on the border, give them what they need. jason: there is nothing more frustrating than the i.c.e. agents i know, th
those photographs never see the light of day. but he wanted to give something to them, to give back, to show that he so respects anyone who wears the cloth of the republic or law enforcement, i see it again and again and again. the first thing the president does when he gets off air force one, when there are no camerases there, at that base, e gets off and he goes down and he shakes the hand of every police out rider to show his respect. this is a man who loves those people and it makes such a change m after the obama years. jason: no, it does. the president is on the ground as we speak at the ramstein air force base in germany. it s the middle of the night. he is there visiting with troops. the air force bases are working 24/7 and the president is there on the a ground as we speak. kim, i want to talk about the other big news that happened today, which was the stock market. 1,000-point gain, which is not a typical day. there has been some volatility on the market. how do you read in
economic signals and hopefully, this is a return to a little bit of rationality about the future and the prospects for u.s. growth. jason: marc,e one of the things the president also said while he was in iraq is that he plans to visit the southern border. what would you like to see the president do and how does this play into the shutdown fight and discussions we have going on on almost an hourly basis right now? i want to see him highlight the great work that customs and border patrol does every day, even during the shutdown, to keep out illegal immigration, stop gang members and drugs from flowing into our country and show the rest of the world what we who know the statistics know, walls work. it is easy to demonstrate that through real-life examples, and so i think the president will highlight that and will set the stage for not only the negotiations with speaker pelosi, but it will set the stage for a very strong state of the union speech that i can almost guarantee you will ha
