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
it s a methodology of the president and not a reality at the border. people have to realize that. from the first day a week ago ewhen donald trump declared a national emergency foopay for a wall a wall that mexico was supposed to pay for. today he introduced a resolution to terminate that so-called emergency. nancy pelosi says the house is going to vote for it on tuesday. goes to the senate where by law it must be voted on within 18 days. texas democratic congressman wrote the resolution that would block the president s emergency resolution. it s basically a paragraph saying the emergency is withdrawn. pretty straight forward. and about six weeks ago there rumors started the president might declare a national emergency to build his border wall, we started working with the sledge slative counsel to
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
explained away. couldn t they be saying it s this congress. they re killing me because they won t get anything done. the people love me. they voted me in. yeah, they voted him in but that kienld of self rationalization is not donald trump or the white house s friend. you re going to have to put lipstick on that pig but you can t run against a do nothing congress here. the republicans have unified control and they have failed to pass any of the major sledge slative goals of the president and partly because the president has been unable to step on his message with chaos eminating from the oval office and tweeting. so the president is a big problem here. members of the senate have realized i did better in my home state than donald trump did. i shouldn t have stock home syndrome. i m going to do what i think is right because that political currency of trust doesn t exist
when the democratic party asked brak lives matter, it says black voices and black votes never had greater in american society. so inspiring to engage from the political process is emphatically a step in the wrong direction. how do you respond to that? the end game is for us to stop being killed. for us to stop being beat. there s all of this talk. and i want to be very respectful of you,but how does that happen without legislation? without being involved in the political or the ledge slative process?
