strategist. tell us what s on your mind. thanks for being here. you ve strongly opposed the president s views on immigration. seven children have now died as a result of the humanitarian crisis at our southern border. and too many families are still separated. why isn t congress doing more to ensure the health and safety of immigrants in u.s. custody and more specifically, what is your role as a member of the house in finding a solution? and then as the nominee, how will you help reach bipartisanship on immigration reform? thank you, courtney, for your question. it is a humanitarian it is a humanitarian crisis. and in congress, we are working right now to pass the dream act. that s one pass of what we can do to bring a certain fate for people who came here with their parents. we i m a co-sponsor of comprehensive immigration reform. but the real challenge here, what s so frustrating. and i went to the san diego sector a couple weeks ago.
students and the parents picked themselves up and they organized. and they marched. and you told them you had their back. and they beat 17 nra-endorsed members of congress. we did that. so as president as president, i m not going to negotiate down anymore. i m going to negotiate up. so, yes, we ll pass background checks. we already did that in the house. i ll come here to georgia. i m going to help you elect a senator so we can pass it in the senate. i m the only candidate calling for a ban and buyback on every assault weapon. i also believe that s investing in jobs and education block by block. here s the question we face. i was in philadelphia a couple weeks ago talking to a trauma counselor named scott charles. he s counseled thousands of gun violence victims at temple hospital in philly.
the inner city in a low-income community. that s not necessarily well it sounds like ran for congress and won about people being close to power also being close to the pain. this is something we have heard from him, that he maintains and lives in the middle of where people are closest to the pain and where people are really suffering which keeps him connected to what people are struggling with. it was very wise on his part. so far it seems brown is doing this. talking about work. they are coming out with a concrete message that people can grab onto. in the beginning when you re trying to define yourself and when you re also trying to define yourself against as opposed to others that are pretty close to you and a lot of things you fight for to give you something to remember.
and radicals takes the reins of the power in november, it will be scarier than halloween, only the trick is on the american people. and the treat, they will be given away to some one else. that s the angle. joining me to discuss is wisconsin congressman sean duffy, author and syndicated columnist michelle malkin and dr. dana grayson, ran for congress in 2016. which of your democratic colleagues are you most concerned about, if they end up getting the house? i have to tell you, laura, that was a frightening rundown of a nightmare for conservatives. for me, the one that i m the most afraid of, maxine watters on financial services. that s my committee. listen, it s not a c committee, this is an a commit any the house. we have banking, housing, insurance, federal reserve. we affect your bank rates, insurance rates. everything we do, your 401-k,
a year ago, house republicansns said, we need to take a plan to repeal and replace obamacare to the country. we spent a year working on this plan, all house republicans participated in this, we had working groups were anybody who had an idea brought it to the table. we reached consensus on what that plan look like. we called it a better way we put it on the internet, we all ran for congress in 2016 on it that plan. tucker: i remember. it was modeled on the tom price legislation, that s what this is. this is the legislative text of that plan that we ran in 2016 on what we would replace obamacare with. tom price is now the secretary of hhs is the architect of it. 12 cosponsors is greatly as december. we re going through typical growing pains from being an opposition party fighting barack obama, nancy pelosi, andr harry reid to a governing party.
