what happens later on this week. he could potentially say they don t have a case. well, my point though is that i don t think that any of that holds any water compared to the president s responsibility to determine the state department s responsibility to determine within the laws duly passed by the legislature and signed into law by the president to determine who is allowed and is not allowed to come into this country. that trumps whatever feelings or concerns states have about how this may look if a bunch of namby-pamby mumbo-jumbo that is not designed in any way to compare their presence responsibility to keep the country safe. another thing you mentioned that this judge is somebody who was appointed by george w. bush and was easily confirmed, i think that is a crucial point in all of this. a week after we have seen donald trump nominate neil gorsuch who is a true constitutionalist,
them along with five other countries. do they work? yes. should we do them? absolutely. dagen: lee, because the obama administration was so worried about getting the nuclear deal done and preserving it, they did nothing about the firing of the ballistic miles. one on the side of it writing in farsi, hebrew, and english death to america, death to israel. it is amazing we are trying to be kind to this country. it is run amuck, and i think a lot of people wrote a lot about national security about we need to get tougher on these countries. people have not got better over the last eight years. in fact, they ve gotten worse. we re having things like this happen. people are upset. so what are we supposed to be? just sit there and namby pamby about it? i think the nation is ready to strength about it. they want to see strength and leverage. vet donald trump concept using leverage he talked about it in the art of the deal, and i
less diverse. they may say no, this a he is okay in this baby. so i wonder, do you have the sense that the republican party going to face a sissism over this or not. would there be a namby-pamby over this. don t look the the vocal hawks like senator mccain, that tell you a lot, the one not saying much. keep in mind that this is civil disowe yens within the that s essentially what happened. she s top person. until sessions is confirmed. she said no.
the money. and then what you do, he is increasing the i.c.e. agents, he is increasing enforcement, he is making sure that they actually enforce the laws that are in place. there is no more of this namby-pamby we don t know, we will catch and release and let them go. no. you come here illegal and say you have a family here, prove it or you are going back. and if you re illegal, you have to go back to your country and if they don t want you, too bad, we are now going to use the leverage to make sure they take you. harris: i remind everybody that this presidential candidate previously went to the border. something that we actually at the time had not seen president obama do. what are your thoughts? david: because president obama didn t want to have the optics of being there at the border. i ve been at the border since he 90s. i have been reporting on this issue. things are laid out in these executive orders are how you structurally get rid of the problem, and an important part of thi
which was frightening to sea. the trump transition put out a statement just a little while ago this evening. i ll read it to you, john. it says, president-elect trump has continued to denounce racism of any kind, and he was elected because he will be a leader for every american. to think otherwise is a complete representation of the movement that united americans from all backgrounds. but john, as you can tell, in that statement, it does not really denounce the alt-right or the white supremacists and the neo-nazis in the alt-right. it sort of dances around that, and really stops way short of the criticism that trump had for the cast of hamilton, who, as you know, on friday, called out mike pence here in new york city. so this will be one of the questions for donald trump if he ever has that news conference. it does not address what was said over the weekend or really who said it at all. jim acosta, thank you. back with us, errol louis and david gergen. let s start with the trump vi
