that is affecting anything he has seen him. trey. neil, good afternoon. it is not affecting the situation on the ground one bit. just a few seconds ago we heard a massive explosion. we are here pretty close to the center of the ukrainian capital, kyiv. it is about a few miles from where we are. we have heard these explosions going on all night. as sirens, occasionally will sound sending people into bomb shelters. if they are not there already. we do know that the spokesperson for ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky indicated today that both the russians and ukrainians could be open to conversations about this conflict. it is really important to think about what the russians have done in the past. they are known as a fighting force that claims they are ready to negotiate a peaceful settlement, while they launched a massive military campaigns. that is really important to remember here. while the russians today appear like they are open conversation with the ukrainians, they would li
what does mitch mcconnell do then? does he actually take a vote on it? does he send it up to the president? dare him to veto? try to inch up the dollar amount but not give the wall? play semantics and call a fence or a fancy fence or a slat steel fence a wall? does he try to make a dreamers deal all over again? you remember, they had on the table a deal for $25 billion for border security in exchange for the dreamers. that price has come down to $5 billion. shows you what a great negotiator trump is. maybe he tries that. there s no solution for this for the republicans. it s a question of what trump can convince himself is a win and giving him an out. perhaps show him pictures of a wall some place else in the world saying that s the wall. all he wants is a picture and for the people at fox news not to say he lost. so perhaps they can find some graceful way out to let trump con himself. so there s two big things that we need to talk about here. the people affected by this and not gett
going to talk hypothetical of what happens. we ll get a deal in the next six months. been more than six months now. how close are you to getting a deal to allow the dreamers to remain here in the united states, have access, a road to citizenship down the road in exchange for greater border security? we re working with house republicans on those same four pillars laid out to you before of certainty for the daca population and addressing the diversity lottery program. we think it s essential. what s changed in the last six months, wolf, unfortunately, the courts ruled in what democrats view in their view saying that the population is protected for now and democrats not come too long the table and tried for a deal here. as you know, we need 60 votes in the united states senate. without cooperation it s difficult for us to get there. democrats say they want they re willing to give you i understand that. what you want on border security and make sure that the dreamers are protec
it s semantics, okay? he used an ugly word. i say that he used an ugly word because that is what s in his head and his heart when he discusses these things. that s my take on it, but it doesn t matter. it doesn t matter because what he definitely did was he drew a preference between people from central and south america and africa and norway. that s what he did. he wasn t talking about merits. he didn t talk about skills. he was talking about brown people and white people. he was talking about countries which are in the tps program and countries that weren t, chris. is that a fact? look, i want to say that you re right. you had lowry this morning saying, well, he was talking about the lottery system. he wasn t talking about tps. i believe that s wrong. i believe contextually he had been put on the table a deal to help people who need tps extension as we heard from the ambassador of haiti this morning, they need help. they re here for a reason. that s what he was talking about. and
