there. he only gets $2 billion for the wall. in the end if it s not 5.7, the win is so important. they would rather have e-verify rather than a wall. they would rather have enforcement than a wall. the wall is a symbol, it is not a solution, in their minds. i m talking about the hardliners. it s fascinating he s pushed so much on this because it s so politically charging and so important to him. if you watched lindsey graham last night on fox news who just made a point of noting, i just happened to talk to the president, and he said this. we re going to build a wall one way or the other. i just talked to the president ten minutes before i came on the show. i know for a fact, i was in the green room. the $5.7 billion represents 10 locations according to the department of homeland security that a barrier would make the most difference.
but the wall is a very important thing to us. what he just said there proved too much for laura ingaham last night on fox news. she took on the president and saying on this subject he is wrong. i must have miss the wall being built. what wall? there s no wall. if you want a wall, say we don t have the wall. i know he made the promise. they re not building the wall. so you got to stop saying that. which brings to us what folks have called big lie number one, which you may recall from the campaign. scenario so a lot of politicians said you can t get mexico to pay for the wall. i said it s going to be so easy. who s going to pay for that wall? you d better believe it and they ll doll it. and who is going to bay for the wall. mexico. who s going to pay for the wall? mexico. we re going to have a wall that s going to be paid for by mexico. who s going to pay?
there s the original cooperation and then there s a 35b motion. that s true, but here s the problem for him. he has made everybody so mad by refusing to actually debrief in new york and refusing to open up and say things, it s going to be difficult to ever get to that point. so he would have to come completely clean on everything in new york, which apparently he s not willing to do, but he would have to do that. and he would have to be a huge witness for robert mueller. and given how tainted he is, i find that unlikely. there is some door open for that, and he ought to grab for it. and let me tell you one thing he shouldn t be doing that he already is, if that s what he wants, is he shouldn t be sending his lawyer lonny davis out to talk on the news. that s a mistake. it will just make people in the prosecutors office more angry and yet he continues to do it. okay, frank figluizzi, to you, and i m going to read you something from the new york times. this is about david pecker and
saga because michael cohen, more than any of the other characters that have become ensnared in any of these investigations, has the longevity with president trump, has the intimacy of the relationship with president trump, and is now going to jail for three years. as we go to break, let s try to put the video back up of the cohens entering federal court today just because it has come up, and we ve been asked. he was walking with his wife, son and daughter, his daughter using a crutch because of recent surgery. but that family looking grim-faced entering court today, knowing their life has already changed. it is about to change again in a very fundamental way in the dead of march when their father goes off to serve his term in federal court. with that, our great thanks to emily jane fox, to philip rucker, to jill colvin. coming up, the reaction from to today as news from members of the president s own party when the 11th hour continues.
