heard from two republicans senators saying we don t recall. we heard from democrat senator durbin most vial remark ever spoken in the oval office. now you are seeing this from lindsey graham which sounds to me when he s saying i said my piece directly to him yesterday. sounds like he s saying he called the president out. what do you think? it did sound that way. it also should be noted that his colleague, tim scott from south carolina, said that senator graham basically confirmed to him that the president said what was reported. so, yes, it does sound that way. lindsey graham has been walking a very delicate path here, trying to keep his relationship up with the president. he s become frequent golf partner while still stewarding this particular piece of legislation forward. he s been a long time advocate of immigration reform. but it s a tough path to walk

the country. and republicans have signaled they want to work with democrats on this at different phases along the way. what i think will ultimately shape up here is a deal that will allow some kind of protection, some kind of path, likely to legal status. maybe not all the way to citizenship for these d.r.e.a.m.ers. n then a mix of border security, internal enforcement, almost certainly not the wall. that s such a third rail for democrats to support any kind of package that would include that. but i can t stress enough that this has been an issue that s drawn protests against democrats and republicans alike on capitol hill. it is animated president trump s campaign really from the get-go,igration. and he s surrounded by immigration hard-liners like jeff sessions and his department of justice. his golf partner yesterday, david purdue, on restricting immigration. the president is going to get pulled in a lot of different directions on this. and the clock is ticking on this. unlike an i
on twitter this morning the president touted progress that s being made on capitol hill saying things are shaping up better than projected, fill keating is live from west palm beach with more for us, good afternoon, phil. perfect day in west palm beach for golfing and that s exactly what president trump is doing just down the road at his trump international golf club and the white house says his golf partner today is republican senator lindsey graham of suk and according to white house, the two men are not only golfing but also discussing the upcoming tax cut and reform legislation as well as fully funding all of the presidents priorities. then after the game, the president will head back to mar-a-lago for just a few more hours before heading back towards washington. per the usual morning here at the winter white house, president trump going to twitter and tweeting out a couple of items, one thing he tweeted out,
that i have seen on twitter a couple of times. the chinese president rising high having convention, king of the roost in china in much more ways than he was before, consolidated power in any way seen from leader in the past years. china wants to be seen as equal to the united states, as a player on the world stage, how much does president trump allow him to do that, it is the president of the united states this time heading over to china. it was the chinese president who came here before to see president trump. waiting air force one s departure. he s heading to friendly territory. shinzo abe became one of dear friends, golf partner so far as he s been president now for
