what america is and can be. and president obama remains popular. president trump among his supporters is amazingly popular. one of the things you find when you talk to republicans around the country is if you want to know why republican senators and republican governors and republican members of the house aren t commenting on tweet by tweet by tweet, it s because they have a remarkable internal numbers showing not just 80% of republicans supporting the president but strongly supporting the president. numbers that they haven t seen before. so what i think we re going to see here is two competing stories. president trump has turned this into the latest episode in his reality show is that this caravan is coming for us. president obama is going to say don t fear hope. those will be the go two things they hope will drive the two bases coming in 13 days. i think 15.
discussions that were held with the chief of staff, with the secretary of homeland security, with jeff sessions, the attorney general, it was all about how do we deter people from coming to america, and how do we inflict this chaos on the families, this injury on the families so as to deter families from coming here. and for him to come out now and say well, that wasn t the intention at all is absolutely absurd because it s the argument that he made and he made it publicly. on twitter today the president questioned whether a republican-led house should even bother to pass an immigration bill because it would need some democrat support to overcome a potential filibuster in the senate. what he doesn t say is that republicans in the house aren t even in agreement on an immigration bill, which is presumably why they postponed their vote until tomorrow. is there any bill you can see passion the house and the senate at this point? well, it s hard for me to imagine. but let s turn the clo

mission of protecting a sitting president. unlike most federal employees, secret service agents do get overtime, but a third of them maxed out months ago at about $160,000. because of salary caps, they ve been putting in brutally long hours with no extra pay. there s no reward to the family. you re not seeing any income coming in out of it. all the things that are broken in the house aren t getting fixed. so, there s a major morale issue for that. reporter: the numbers are staggering. agents are now protecting 26 people the current president, the candidates and their families, four former presidents, and some other top u.s. officials. and they ve provided security at more than 7,000 events here and overseas this year, screening more than 8 million people. this year s been especially taxing. the political conventions, the u.n. general assembly, and a year of unusually harsh rhetoric with threatening images displayed openly, some of them seeming to advocate violence, and a hiring f
republicans always taking us to the brink this way. even with the terrorists in new york today and the rather stunning display of pr, good pr by mr. comey and jeh johnson, explaining in slightly different ways why what the congress is doing is so absurd, i don t think there s any guaranty at all that the republicans in the house aren t just going to go marching forward off that cliff and they probably will take it up to the 11th hour and make them look like the party of shutdown. john boehner has to decide to go off that cliff, because he can move a bill with democratic votes, plus enough republicans. he could do it tomorrow. right. but why do tomorrow what you can do the next day? it will be last minute, but nothing is stopping him from getting this deal done. no, except i don t understand the political calculation for him. he s appeasing one side and he knows he s going to disappoint them.
