ryan lizza, were you surprised see president obama s record come up so often last night, for criticism. for criticism, right. i wasn t totally surprised, because the issues that are relevant right now in the democratic party, obama s record on them doesn t look so great in the light of where democrats are now. on immigration, early in obama s term, the reason he was so gung ho about deportations was for a political reason. he wanted to strike a deal with republicans. and he wanted to show he was tough on border security and immigrants who were here without documentation. and so, it was a conscious policy. that policy doesn t look so good to most democrats these days. and even at the time, a lot of activists and members in the latino community were very, very vocal against that. on health care, i think i m a little more surprised on that. because people are forgetting how difficult it was to get the
into a confrontation with iran. he said, whoa, i want no part of that. how do you make sense of his language the past few days? here s one sound bite in particular. i think iran would be making a very big mistake if they did anything. if they do something, it ll be met with great force, but we have no indication that they will. on the one hand, on the other hand. the other day, he said if they do this, it ll be the end of iran. this is part of a pattern. president talks incredibly tough, ambitions and goals laid out are incredibly high, but at the end of the day, the instruments the united states tends to use are economic. sanctions or tariffs. whether it is north korea, fire and fury, nothing happens. whether it is venezuela, whether it s china, now iran, the rhetoric is tough, but the policy doesn t, at the end of the day, back it up. this president doesn t want to have military confrontation. i m not saying he is wrong. i don t want to have military confrontation if i could

right now. your quick thoughts, emily? emily: it was actually on cybersecurity, i m sorry. the new agency and infrastructure, that was one of the testimonies before the house when michael cohen was taking of a tension. it s going to other matters of security, not just the physical deployment of tanks. richard: the president authorized the building of new tanks, ships, planes, things we will likely not use if we are no longer anywhere. the union made very clear, america will not be in a war. when we are not of the war-like posturing means the policy doesn t match the rhetoric. harris: overarching, the vote will be on the wall. with the president get has border funding? what is this next week going to look like? we will reported as it happens. not all democrats on board with the socialist label. why elizabeth warren says she is bullish on free markets trade but is she just running for cover at this point? alexandria ocasio-cortez, the big drop at sxsw.
reveals about how policy is created in the trump white house? well, i think it is very it is a very confused process. the other thing kelly said was he seemed to backtrack a bit on the diction of the word wall, which in a way plays into what pelosi said when she joked more accurately that trump would be happy with a beaded curtain. and, so, the messaging seems awry. the policy doesn t seem very organized. it s just going to be an amazing thing to watch trump negotiate with nancy pelosi, who is one of the master negotiators, even republicans will admit that, in american politics. the question becomes what is the solution for something like this? especially when we go back to the reason for the shutdown. what is the answer? is it providing more resources at these intake sessions? what, according to your thoughts, based on what the secretary said needs to happen. obviously, in order to make the border more secure, there will have to be additional funding for resources at the
