criticized obama for his imperial presidency, governing through executive action. now you have so many conservatives supporting a declaration of national emergency. on the other hand, liberals supported barack obama going around congress, creating the daca without constitutional authority, now criticizing trump saying this violates the constitutional separation of powers. jennifer, i mean, he s got a point there. it seems as if it is the party that commits the violation we get more outrage. the courts upheld daca. it was challenged in court and upheld. not daca, the epa, not the daca one. yeah, i said daca. but it is challenged in court and the court s ruled. the wall has been a game to
expansion of presidential power. the republicans are going to clear their throats and fall into line like they always do. it s interesting, david. the president, when he was a private citizen, used to rail against president obama when he would move money around. didn t declare a national emergency necessarily. in 2014, the president as a private citizen tweeted this. republicans must not allow president obama to subvert the constitution of the u.s. for his own benefit and because he is unable to negotiate with congress. right. you can imagine that if it was president obama now doing the action that president trump is proposing, republicans would be howling. president obama, it s known he executive ordered the dapa program, not daca, deferred action of parents for americans. it would have provided protections. the obama administration lost in appeals court. there was a supreme court tie that kept it as a loss. it was a clear signal that he had overreached his power as the
be willing to talk about the issue with the president, when it s life and death, safety and security, and then put out all of these demands. it makes it impossible. what you don t have is clips of democratic senators saying this because they know it s a death blow to the party. president trump made a brilliant political move and good for the country to go to the middle. wall plus daca plus tps. i ve had more democratic senators talk to me in the last two days than talked to me in the last 30 days. the harder nancy pelosi goes left and the more trump goes to the middle, we re going to get this thing solved. sean: tomorrow, i can see chuck schumer lining up all the democrats to vote on that compromise plan. again, tpa, daca, dreamers, and by the way, the house wanting to pay the furloughed employees. no democrats supporting that either. i guess that was a lie also.
gassing children, not defending the country from an onslaught. my view is that democrats in the senate are going to become more reasonable as these people define extreme positions. the president made a very smart move by putting on the table relief for daca recipients, tps recipients, which the democrats have been for for decades. now let s see what kind of democratic party we ve got. do we have a democratic party that hates trump so much they will say no to 1.1 million people having a better life? or will we have some democratic senators and house members join with the president and me to solve this problem? time will tell. sean: the president, it seems, he does have other options. yes, he does. sean: we are dealing with drugs, gangs, cart calls, human trafficking, drug trafficking, real radical elements. that s only the 2%. i believe the other 98% that don t respect our laws, but they
send aides or not show up, what are you to do in that case? how do you have a deal with somebody that won t even talk to you? that s the difficulty here. you re really asking what we voted on the floor today was to pay those 800,000 workers right now and all the democrats but ten voted no. nancy pelosi has the record for speaking the longest on the floor last year. and it was about daca. but she comes out against the president s proposal, which is reasonable, which finds common ground. build the wall, take care of the daca kids. all for what? something for everybody, which i think america is looking for. it s only the president who is leading and trying to end this shutdown when the speaker s totally acting a total different way. sean: thank you, kevin mccarthy, for being with us. we ll watch this very closely. when we come back, he s also a lawyer, senator lindsey graham on nancy pelosi s state of the union stunt. plus, the growing radicalism of the democratic party and what
