extend the 9/11 fund after stewart s appearance before that committee. his fate in the senate remains unclear, though. you heard mcconnell say they will get to it when? so we had a chance to speak to a couple responders last week who are directly affected by the current inaction in washington. if the 278 trips to d.c., i have zero tolerance for any member of congress or the senate, and i hope they don t like me. mitch mcconnell we re on our way. lindsey graham, we re on our way. you know who we are. we met with you before. we re just not going to take your crap this time. i wish they were on their way here just for breakfast. i love those guys. they re great guys, and they have a cause and they re not going to give up. if mitch mcconnell and the senate doesn t move fast enough, you will see them soon. president trump kicks off his reelection campaign shortly. this as he announces a major immigration operation, one that we have yet to get any confirmation on. we can t get it fro
about interior arrests, the idea of beginning the process of going after millions of people, i think that s just language. at the trump rally this evening, as everyone s alluded to, this seems to be much more politics and much more rally fodder as we have come to expect than it is actual serious policy. david, i m sorry, i cut you off. i just think in the political point as well, this is a president who if he were more restrained which he s not going to be, could really explain the problem more fully and where he feels he s been stymied by congress, where he s not getting the support. i think there s a lot of supporters who say look, he s trying to be tough, he hasn t got everything and he s held back from congress by solving this problem. i think he s not afraid to position himself as the outsider who s a victim of washington. i have a feeling we re going to hear a lot more about that today
not only do we not know, congress doesn t know. you have had members of congress complaining constantly that the administration isn t keeping them in the loop on foreign policy, particularly iran, but across the board, and usually i feel like you d have something happening, and you would have a lot of congressional support because iran has been such a bad actor on the world stage but because this administration has sewn such distrust or mistrust among members of congress and, you know, the country frankly, people who aren t absolutely supportive, there s a loud outcry. there s already conversations about a new authorization of military force and not being able to use the one from 2001 to go after iran, and that s a bipartisan bill. it s ro khanna and gates from florida. pelosi has called for briefings, we ll see if they happen.
a president who s focussed on these actions but we also need congress and whether it s democrats who currently control the house of representatives or even in the first two terms, or first two years, when you still had democrats needing votes in the senate to get anything passed, what we need are more conservatives with a fiscal responsibility outlook that will cut spending. we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. understood, but he s the president, we re talking about the buck stops there, and let s remember for two years he had both republican and a democratic house. the president, republican and democratic, republican senate and a republican house, sorry, the president also said he would repeal and replace obamacare is that a promise made and a promise kept? it s something they came very close to doing, and it s something they continue to work to do. eliminating the individual mandate was very important, but also some of the other actions we have seen the president ta
picking them up, you have to provide medical care for them, you have to provide treatment for women who might be giving birth when they re in some sort of federal holding facility. i think this is about the president saying we re going to conduct an operation, maybe they pick up a few thousand people, minor air gap between a few thousand and a few millions. this is about messaging, it s not about a security operation. there s no way you can pick up that number of people. no way. today the president is formally announcing his reelection campaign, and his promise to have solved the issue at the border has not worked. in fact, on his watch the numbers have spiked. clearly this is very vexing to him. he s trying this new blunt instrument to see if that works i guess with his campaign, and if it works as a deterrent. he s also gone through a couple of officials who didn t want to implement this sort of procedure. so, yes, he s basically throwing everything at the wall. he can t get cong
