Make my point through economic argument. But the reality of it is weve got a president that doesnt want to listen to reason, doesnt want to hear the economic argument. He wants to rule through fear. And through intimidation and that simply isnt president ial. Thats not american. Thats not what this country is about. We are a country of broad shoaled rtz and big hearts. We welcome the stranger. We put people to work. These individuals were vetted not once, not twice but three times. None of them have committed a crime. They have done nothing but contribute to the greatest country in the world. They willingly came forward and gave their information to the government and this president betrayed them. It doesnt need to get any fancier. Were not splitting atoms here. This is an unbelievable conversation. Patty hasnt had a chance to speak yet. I said this is no long ardog
whistle, its a bull horn now. I think the argument this is a legal issue is completely disingenuous by this administratio
all-americans. when we failed to reform and sustain what we need for social security by reforming obamacare we lost by the one vote but the house was able to pass that. this is something both sides should sit-down and seriously take a look at. not just take a look at but take action. we have done well. on the mandatory size we can t sustain these programs without taking action now of the that s something we have been running on for ten years. i don t expect anything to be done about in during an election year. as they points out spending is topping a trillion dollars. this is interest spending alone. you need to do it now. you have to be honest with the american people. just like we have been before we took the majority. we laid out we would protect medicare and social security. if you do nothing it won t
this one is going to be different? by the way, he s got to be a pretty good deal maker because he s made billions of dollars over his lifetime. he s got to deal with the debt ceiling. he s got to deal with putting the budget together to fund all the government programs. i ll say this. it s a little difficult to put together a deal when you re dealing with authority that has basically said we re basically against anything you want to do. we re against building the wall, reforming obamacare or repealing it, we re against tax cuts. the democrats have really laid down the line we re against everything you steven, to be honest he doesn t really need the democrats that much. it s the republicans.
really feel? that was sarcasm. i hear you in the background, steven. president trump hasn t had much success getting congress to pass any of his legislative items. why does he think he s going to have success with this one? well, look, by the way he s got to be a pretty good deal maker because he s made a lot of amazing real estate deals over his lifetime. but he s going to be put to the test. we ve got a full sledge slative agenda, the tax plan, the debt ceiling, putting a budget together to fund all the government programs. s a little difficult to put together a deal when you re dealing with a priority that has said we re against anything you want to do. we re against building the wall, reforming obamacare or repealing
