tucker: yeah. these people who areio migrants, who are seeking asylum, are coming from honduras or wherever because they have seen their kids throats slashed. people are trying to get over into israel to slash the throats of israeli kids. that s the distinction. tucker: no, no, no. actually it s not the distinction. how am i wrong?g? tucker: i ll tell you how you re wrong, cause you re talking about the wrong wall.he there is the border wall that we have debated a lot in this country and what used to be called the occupied territories in israel proper. there s also a wall at the southern part of the country that separates israel from egypt, and over that border were coming tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from africa.nt yes, africa. they weren t fleeing persecution.ha they were economic migrants. and they moved to tel aviv, and the people there didn t like it. the working class people didn t like it, and so they built f a huge wall. and nobody in the democratic congr
we shouldn t be debating this a week before new year s. it is their fault, i agree. thank you. the resistance to defending our border is in the domain of one party, as richard goodstein just pointed out correctly. chuck schumer sets on sunday. a faction of republicans won t do anything to defend our southern border. watch. even the house which is majority republican, they don t have the votes for the $5 billion wall plan. they just have to have the guts to tell president trump he s off on the deep end here and all is going to get with his temper tantrum is a shutdown. he will not get awol. tucker: he won t get a wall. and the truth is, nobody in washington, literally, nobody is for the wall.. and that includes everyone in the federal bureaucracy. voice of america, taxpayer-funded broadcaster, it s a news outlet. you would think at least they would be willing to support border security, but no. a recent piece attacks the
under any circumstances. president trump should understand there are not the votes for the wall in the housee or the senate. he s not going to get the wall in any form. tucker: he is not going to get the wall.ge notice the pronoun schumer used. he, donald trump, cannot have his wall, says the senate minority leader. but what about the rest of us? the other 325 million people who live here? turns out we can t have a wall, either.he aut wall is just too expensive. in fact, it s wasteful, says and brace yourself for an icy blast of comedy here the democratic party. i asked the people at customs and border protection, what would it cost to have scanners to scan all the vehicles coming in? they said $300 million.t that s a far cry from 5 billion and a much more effective way to have a secure border. most of us, speaking for myself, consider the world immoral, ineffective, the wall immoral,
but we also have tucker: can i just be clear? because i don t want my wordsud to be taken out of context. i think it s great that israel protected its sovereignty. i m not criticizing israel in any way, but i m not calling walls immoral. so how can you criticize our immigration wall but not israel s immigration wall? well, again, i m not saying it s immoral. i m saying that they serve different purposes. the fact of the matter is, the africans that came into israelor saw themselves as part of the 12 tribes. tucker: no, no. these were from sudan. these are not the ethiopians. this is just it s an immigration thing. people in poor countries want to move to rich countries. i would too. i don t begrudge them that. i would.ou i would do exactly the same as every person in that caravan, and i mean it. but i m not in the caravan. i m an american. it s my country. and i want the best for my country. so what is the best for the country? and why is a wall not? so i m honestly confused.
the left.ok permanent washington and their servants in the media, they re the ones who are terrified. they don t want an honest debate about immigration or a lot of other mindless policies they ve been benefiting from for many years. they hate trump for forcing a debate on any of this. they hate you for agreeing with him. tough. here to talk about it anyway is richard goodstein, an attorney and former advisor to bill and hillary clinton. a and he joins us tonight. so i can t get past this. anything that trump any conversation trump enters becomes about trump. and because the media are so dumb all the smart kids go into finance and the dumb ones go into media - they are mesmerized by that. they can t get past it. but no one is debating the actual policy of the wall. which is so interesting to me. it s too expensive? 25 billion is too expensive by the democrats calculation? how does that work? well, the fact that the democrats in 2013 in the senate put $40 billion into border sec
