in a laundry cart. in one escape, according to testimony, he was actually with a different woman than his wife. that woman testified that when police were trying to break in, he escaped through a trap door concealed under his bathtub which was set on hinges. he ran through a system of underground tunnels, completely naked. i consider to be the modern day houdini. he escapes from the two most maximum secure penitentiaries in mexico. the one was the most spectacular prison break that i have seen anywhere in the world. reporter: through it all, his wife was a confidante, who he met when she was a teenager. she didn t come from this as an outsider. she was raised in within a family that was trafficking drugs. a brother, father and an uncle.
temporary proposal, the democrats should have reraised him and said, we will give you $10 million in exchange for a permanent solution for the daca kids. instead, we re in this petty back and forth that s going nowhere. it s interesting that the president s former chief of staff and former homeland security secretary, john kelly, has signed on to a letter, all of the form secretaries of homeland security, urged the president to fund the department of homeland security, end the shutdown. that sends a strong message to the white house that the former white house chief of staff is together with all the former secretaries of homeland security. it does. it s a little too late for john kelly. john kelly was chief of staff at the white house when the shutdown began. he knew the risks of a shutdown well before the shutdown started and should have made sure the president understood that a shutdown supposedly in the name of national security was going
