well, david, i can tell you as a member of the appropriations committee but importantly as a senator from montana, we have a national crisis. we need to see more members of congress spending time on the southern border. i was down the southern border from 2:30 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. a month ago shoulder to shoulder with our border patrol, saw first-hand the flood of illegal immigrants coming across that rio grande valley sector right near mcallen, texas but the issue for montana is the illegal drugs. the meth is killing us in this state literally, corner to corner in our state it s breaking apart families, our communities and in fact, our meth seizures in montana doubled by our u.s. marshall two times year-over-year. this is a crisis and that is what i support president trump and what he s trying to do here to secure the southern border. david: by the way we re seeing on the right side of the screen

apparent that there is nothing that can that the president will sign. and garrett, thank you so much for that, because the reality check, and even though it is proposed by steve dane, and one republican senator, and picked up on fox news, and then the president tweeted it out. he was taking the cues from fox news, and one from the senator on nuclear option, and starting a whole firestorm based on no legal guidance from the legislative aide or the chief of staff or anybody else advising him. and courtney cubii, and mattis is leave us with no doubt of why he is leaving and detailed in an eloquent letter. i believe we must be resolute and unambiguous in our approach to those countries whose strategic interests are
