as an appropriate rater, i would rather start construction now. getting the epa permits and everything else will take time. hillary clinton voted for it, by the way. hillary clinton voted for this bill to build the wall back in 2006. how will we pay for this? how are we not going to pay for it? there was a bill to enhance border security. a $10 billion bill didn t go anywhere. one way we ll pay for it is the amazing rise we ve seen in the stock market and the prosperity that s coming. m.i.t. technology, he said a wall this sort would be $38 billion. and the mexicans are not going to pay one peso. i m getting a big fat tax cut. i m prosperous. it is the american middle class. that s who will pay for this wall. as you know, net migration is to mexico.
for abortioabortions. money is fungible. that is not what this amendment says and i think this could be the first example of republican overreach because this is now part of the budget which is part of repealing obamacare. and if they lose this. jeff zeleny was talking, if they lose those two women in the senate, they re already losing rand paul because he doesn t like the budget. they are putting in jeopardy their biggest issue. which is repealing obamacare over there. and there might be a move, i would think, to extract it if they know they re going to lose. we have to leave it we re just now learn about an about face on donald trump s repeated promise about building a wall and making mexico pay for it. i m just hearing about this. we ll explain when we come back.
what. there s something called reality. there is not a real way to make quote/unquote mexico pay for it. so i just, it may not be a flip-flop but it s a flop. let me say this. inside the republican mind, it is a divisible statement. build the wall. let mexico pay for it. 90% of the statement is the first part. build the wall. the icing on the cake is let mexico pay for it. republicans want the wall and they will take the wall if it means paying for it. because the benefits of keeping drugs out and keeping the illegals out and the potential terrorists out. so to you the mexico pay for it was only a small percentage of the overall i can tell you people who weigh both parts 50/50. i can say this. as she said, there will be a lot of negotiating and a lot of issues with mexico in the eight years ahead, and during that period of time, there will be an opportunity to get money back.
under the obama administration who believe it or not was doing quite a bit in terms of the border. so i definitely would want to get more information. if he actually does say, we re going to pay for and it mexico is not paying for it, that would be a monumental flip-flop. the middle ground would be we ll pay for it and down the road somehow mexico will reimburse. i m just throwing that out. if you go on donald trump s campaign website, there is a pdf about imposeding a rule. he has put forth a detailed way in which mexico will at least wholly or partially pay for it. so i would expect to see this implemented. it was a major part of the campaign. so i think more details. well, look. maybe it s not a flip but it is certainly a flop. this is not what they want to be talking about. this is something that he put his name behind it. and now you ve got people kind of coming around saying, guess
well, i think it is astonishing that they re now saying that they want to fund the building of the wall through the appropriations process. and we have mattered mexico will pay for the wall. they want to do night spending bill, according to the great reporting. and the interesting point is, as i play it a few steps forward, i m almost envisioning in my mind the fact the democrats could filibuster this or try on shut down the government over refusing to fund the wall. we could find ourselves in a situation in which the democrats then want to shut down the government not to fund the wall. would this be a complete flip-flop? definitely we need more information about it. there was some talk about not to have to pass a whole new bill. that there was some existing legislation that had been passed
