it s a simple equation. i look at this and say, doesio a wall make it more or less safe and secure? every place it says build the wall. san diego, el paso, every place they built a barrier or a wall, a wall-like barrier, the results have been decreasing illegal immigration, decrease in drug supply. i again, the data is there. democrats say the wall won t work. they are ignoring the data. every place it has been put up, it has worked 100% of the time. so if this works, what price are you putting on the national security and public safety? i talked to theri president tody a couple of hours ago, here is a man i don t thinkti is going to back down on this. i pretty much said the same thing rush did, stick to your guns, fight the good fight, you are doing the good thing, you are protecting the security of this country, that is your job
is the president had also nancy pelosi s job but rather than doing that, she would rather ss jason: i think clearly the democrats love the issue but i don t think it resonates to the american people. i think they know that this president is fighting to secure the border. last question. you spent decades in the service, you understand the border patrol, youcu understand customs and immigration immigrations and customs enforcement. what do you think they would say to the president and thehe membs of the congressof and the house and senate that have to vote on this?an do they or do they not want a wall? they want a wall. the men and women on the border, i wore that green uniform, they are asking for the government s help. you go to the national law enforcement, they have given their lives for this country, lot of i.c.e. agents. the wall works, they know it, they are on the border, give them what they need. jason: there is nothing more frustrating than the i.c.e. agents i know, th
economic signals and hopefully, this is a return to a little bit of rationality about the future and the prospects for u.s. growth. jason: marc,e one of the things the president also said while he was in iraq is that he plans to visit the southern border. what would you like to see the president do and how does this play into the shutdown fight and discussions we have going on on almost an hourly basis right now? i want to see him highlight the great work that customs and border patrol does every day, even during the shutdown, to keep out illegal immigration, stop gang members and drugs from flowing into our country and show the rest of the world what we who know the statistics know, walls work. it is easy to demonstrate that through real-life examples, and so i think the president will highlight that and will set the stage for not only the negotiations with speaker pelosi, but it will set the stage for a very strong state of the union speech that i can almost guarantee you will ha
to come north but the message should be, work through your embassy, work through the consulate, come in legally and lawfully, don t break the law coming into thishe country. when you getrt here, don t break the law. i ve said it many times, we are the greatest country on earth, i can t blame anyone for wanting to be part of this but you can t want to be a part of not respect the laws. you can t have it both ways. jason: thank you for your service. merry christmas and god bless you. the men and women who serve in our front lines. they do an amazing job. next, michelle malkin and larry elder join us to discuss the absurd way democrats are finding religion in their opposition to thesu border wall. we ll be right back. k. i am not for colds. i am not for just treating my symptoms. (ah-choo) i am for shortening colds when i m sick. with zicam. zicam is completely different. unlike most other cold medicines. .zicam is clinically proven to shorten colds. i am a zifan for zicam. oral o
they probably don t know. they won t have an answer because they have no interest in finding an answer. here s why: they realize that by 2045, that there is going to be a minority white voter. so we are talking about there were no longer be over 50% white. that is why they have abandoned the white working class, that iw why they abandoned the black community a long time ago because they would like to support anyone that would support these newer age, new generation hispanic individuals who would be more likely to be democratic voters. and that is what this comes down to. they want to continue to at least assess the power and continue to climb up the ladder. they have no interest in protecting our country. theyth want to protect their por base and that is what i believe this comes down to. jason: real quickly for each of you, how does this partial shutdown of the government, how does it actually come to an end? ronna? i think the president is going to hold firm. president who came t
