its nuclear weapons and normalizing relations with the u.s. do you think kim jong-un is sincere? we ve been there before. but look, i want to give credit where credit is due. i think the trump administration has done a good job in sustaining and even building the pressure on north korea, economic pressure, to give it incentive to come back to the table. that s a good thing. the fact that they ve now said they are prepared to talk about de-nuclearization is a good thing. it s been refusing to do that for eight years. we re back at the starting line now, don, which is where we ve been before. the prospect of having negotiations, talks. the north koreans usually do a very good job extending those forever, getting concessions from the united states or south korea on the economic side of things and going back to doing what they re doing. at best, we re at the starting line, but it s a better place than we ve been. i was encouraged that the president s reaction today was measured, sober, a
incentive after a period of years being able to become a citizen. he calls it incentive. some of the hard liners in immigration call it a reward. amnesty. amnesty don is what breitbart is calling him this morning. nickname he probably doesn t like a lot. is this a path, give the president question, whether it is tuesday trump or thursday trump. stepping out. is this a plan likely to get through the house let alone the senate? that is why these comments are so important, dave. actually i don t think a bill could pass the senate without a pathway to citizenship. it is a central piece of the deal and reading between the lines, it makes me think president trump is listening to the moderates who are coming to the white house regularly. this sounds a lot like sort of the compromise position that was
first if not america alone. we know after the tariffs this week will be an issue. thank you, nic robertson. president trump says he is open to supporting a pathway to citizenship for d.r.e.a.m.ers here in the country. it is the first time he publicly has taken that position. listen. s citizenship for d.r.e.a.m.ers? we are going to morph into it. over a period of 10 to 12 years. somebody does a great job. they worked hard. it gives inn center send it incentive to do a great job. whether they have a little company or work. whatever they are doing. if they do a great job, it is nice to have the incentive of after a period of years being able to become a citizen. the president told reporters he might be willing to extend the daca deadline if there is no
they ve worked hard. whether they have a cop, mpany, they do a nice job, nice to have incentive of becoming able to become a citizen. how many years? 10 or 12. there is a headline the president now supporting a pathway to citizenship, not legal status here in the united states for those d.r.e.a.m.ers the immigrants who came to the united states as little kid by parents brought in illegally. now he says we are going to morph into it. it s go go to happen at some point in the future. he called it incentive for immigrants. so that s going to ill nate some of the conservative base, especially in the house. potentially, yes, wolf and also takes away an important bargaining trip for donald trump and republicans. for him to out right say at this stage in the negotiations part of his plan is to grant citizenship eventually for d.r.e.a.m.ers.
direction. it will be hard for him to push through his base on this issue no matter what that s the combination that s important. there are too many republicans and even some democrats, i presume who consider just acting on thed.r.e.a.m.ers a way that it incentive eases illegal behavior. that s why i think there have got to be in republicans minds something on border security tied to this. there s been a lot of momentum to that since 2005. more of a crackdown on border security. the that s where you might see some compromise. the question, though, is what is border security? i mean is it the wall? or i 24ithink it s something sh of the wall. but will the president want something short of the wall. he could declare victory if it s short of the wall if it still looks like it s his plan. they ve got to create a path forhim. all right. we re out of time. thank you all for being here.
