shannon: let s hope so, border security is national security, you need a physical barrier that somebody can t climb over or crawl under or drive-through or walk walk around. in addition the other things that were on the table, daca was on the table, these incredible incredible billions of dollars for detention beds, drones, technology, the immigration judges, border patrol personnel increasing by 3,000 all that was in packages of the president produced several weeks ago and to this moment we ve never had a counter offer. when speaker pelosi says no or $1, this president is willing to sign into law something that he feels will protect us.
graham called tuesday trump. and then thursday trump after talking the hardliners in a famously vulgar exchange, trashed the whole thing and created the crisis that led to this weekend shutdown. if he he can just let the soe senate be the senate, let us work together for two weeks and find a solution, i think on the end he might be on the path to sign into law something that gets the border security investment that he wants and he ran on, and a solution to the daca problem that he said he also wants. but if he divides the senate again trk will be very difficult for us to make progress. so you bet at the end dave he wants to make a deal more than want to go on this with the hardliners. i pray and hope that he wants to be a successful president and i think to be successful he has to have a congress that takes up and tackles big issues rather than a divisive president that inflames the worst instincts in the american people.

again. some say senate democrats are unlikely to get behind kate s law and the new sanctuary city s bill. and republicans need to put pressure on democrats to make sure that doesn t happen. joining me to discuss this very controversial topic whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant. your son, a tragic situation, his name is dominic. there is an illegal immigrant had been deported, crossed back over the border, then killed your son in a car and was barely punished. it just breaks my heart hearing about this. is kate s law something that you are behind because kate s law would have prevented this tragedy in your family. i m behind any law that will
