you think they will support that is they want support any of it. 5 feet or 5 miles, they won t support it. i think when they open the government, likely deal they had in december, the democrats of the republicans and the president can sit down and negotiate real border security and immigration reform. but nobody can be talking about adding a wall or changing immigration policy at the point of a gun, but either democrats or republicans. laura: first of all, chris, do you think i have a question. do you think the democrats are worried about spending money? if so, it s got to be the first time they were worried about spending money. we spend money for stuff that is so wasteful and stupid in this town. we can find $5.7 billion? the overrides on social security and the fraudulent payments on medicare? there is a list on the government website about overpayments and wrongful payments in in the billions. laura, the democrats are not
little terrorists, domestic, political terrorists when it comes to this issue. not physical. you know what i m saying. rhetorical. i don t like what they are doing here. to speak of the president has already retreated from his sea o shining sea big beautiful wall. to see what he always was. he never wanted to put it over the rio grande. he never said that. we are all fine with that. i think that is when he when the president opens the government, he will have a willing partner in chuck schumer and nancy pelosi to reopen the government. it will include a lot of technology. laura: [laughs] technology. and it had sensor or drone, i know it s about letting them cross the border, the drone will identify them, pick them up, and release them. the drones are occasionally advocates. this is what chuck schumer spokesperson said tonight an hour ago. senator schumer and senate democrats have made it clear to leader mcconnell and the republicans they will not support funding for the wall. pr
