billion. so is it worth it? democratic strategist jessica tarloff says absolutely not. you don t thing k so? how could it be worth it? all the services that go into feeding illegals, housing illegals, rounding them up when they commit crimes, pushing them back and forth, all the jobs that tear taking. i think 66 billion would be a drop in the pocket. 166 billion is a very low estimate. i thought it was high. cbo says 243 billion. when you think that everyone has to get a trial, they re entitled to an advocate, that the average deportation we re talking about the wall specifically now. because the legal process is the legal process and i would hope that every illegal goes through it no matter who is president. have you seen the wall that saudi arabia is building? they re building a wall that s out of this world to hold back isis. two layers.
whenever you have james carville coming out swinging, clintons is in serious trouble. today he came out with an ed to torial and op-ed. it s not exactly a right wing conspiracy that they try to target. but it was my colleague who said that democrats are in freakout mode in washington over her performance yesterday in a press conference and her general problems without being able to escape this e-mail scandal. so when carville went on the attack, chris elisa went right back at him and you know this is not good for the clinton campaign. speaking of the washington post, you had two op-eds this week that openly questioned what the heck is hillary doing. you can feel her supporters around her, whether it s the inner circle or not, say please, wake up, do something, act presidential. get in the race someway. stop roping off reporters. you can t play all this e-mail scandal. it feels like everyone who cares about her, they re screaming at her and her campaign to get their act
president. gretsch., i don t know anybody that s gonna base their vote on whether chris christie was a giants fan or a cowboys fan. in the crucial states of with a, new hampshire and south carolina. okay. while it is certainly fun for us to joke about today, doesn t have much long-term impact. the were i bring it up and maybe not that particular image, jessica, but optics are everything. everything. especially as we move forward to 2016. and everyone remembers the hug between governor chris christie and president obama after hurricane sandy. that, many pembo lived, was sort of the death knell for christie for quite some time. what do you think? i disagree with that. i think that was a great hug. this hug doesn t matter much and the hurricane sandy hug mattered in all the right ways. chris christie was acknowledging what president obama had done for his home state, which he cares passionately about. i mean to doubt chris christie s new jerseyness i think is a bit ridiculou
have been on his last show on saturday night and was surprised actually by the announcement at that moment. i would say he has fund-raising ability for sure but more evangelicals this time, a different feel than 2008 but he has a strong message and emphasized on saturday night consolation and partisanship and looked pack at his record and what he accomplished in arkansas and i think that s something that s really going to have to be reckoned with on the gop side. he s comp prom mizer and he has shown that. so i think that that s really his strongest point and not necessarily his social conservativism, which i think he is going to have to push to the side. very interesting. jessica and david. we are going to be talking about this in the future. thanks much. thanks so much. time for my take now the first of 2015. maybe it s just me, but i m stoked that we re kicking off the new year already talking about possible presidential candidates for 2006. i m a political junkie. never seem
so will house speaker john boehner be dethroned? they all prepare for tomorrow s big swearing in. wouldn t be politics unless it is coming with lot of drama. two top republican republicans saying they want to challenge and make a run for house speaker boehner s seat. one of those republicans, louie gohmert, explaining his decision today. we have got to show the american people that they don t need to abandon the republican party. there are people in the party that are willing to stand up and fight for the very things we promised we would do. so how does this all work? speaker boehner needs an absolute majority in order to get re-elected. those looking to unseat him need about 30 votes in order to send the measure to a second ballot. and the last time that happened was back in 1923 with republican speaker frederick gillette winning re-election on the ninth ballot. chris tire is walt fox news digital politics editor and author of fox news first is my guest, the first one
