congress. the idea being that congress might have a role to play in this in terms of reinterpreting oar rewriting that section of title 9 and talking about transgender issues and somehow including that in this. so we ll see what happens. i mean, inevitably it seems like this will be something that will be resolved by the courts. at least if you talk to progress sives it s a civil rights issue and obviously. that s how they see it, yes. they see it as a civil rights issue and obviously betsy de e devos seems 0 see it tomb. but social conservatives are saying this is about states rights. but this is going to be i think like we saw with guy rights as well and guy same sex marriage how that bubbled up and went to the supreme court and had to be decided there. this is amazing, though, that the president is going against what he himself said, right. yes. we all know that he believes he will be a hero if he keeps the promises he made. this wasn t one of them. this was core, it is
and this is of course the president-elect s catch phrase, when he was a candidate. who is going to pay for the wall? mexico. mexico is saying we re not going to pay for the wall. i talked to transition officials throughout the night, andrea, who said the bottom line is they re looking into the possibility of having congress pay for jumpstarting the construction of building the wall. the idea being that then mexico would reimburse the united states. it s a point that donald trump himself tweeted about today, underscoring that point, that ultimately mexico will foot the bill for this. they say that s their plan. politically speaking they think they can get some democrats on board with this plan. number of them up for re-election who are in states that care deeply about this issue, but the reality is, if you talk to foreign policy experts and mexican officials they say they re not going to pay for this wall. still it looks a little bit like a campaign backstrak, andrea, even though during
looking into the possibility of having congress pay to jump-start construction of the wall. the idea being that mexico would eventually pay back the u.s. and be part of an appropriations bill as early as this april. and president-elect trump himself underscoring that point, that mexico would pay back the u.s. for the wall. let me read you his tweet and then give some analysis on the other side. he tweeted earlier today that dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the great wall will be paid back by mexico later. still, this is a striking shift because again, this was a frequent chant at his campaign rallies, that mexico is going to pay for the wall. politically, will it work? well, the trump team says, look. there are as many as ten democrats up for re-election in states that think that border security is a key issue so they think they are going to be able to get some democrats on board with this. but how is it going to play with his supporters and those who wa
