mulvaney said it best before working for trump and when he said this is a childish idea to think a wall will protect us. what has been done, walls have been built along portions of the border. the portions that make sense. we ve made massive investments. we have tripled the number of border security agents, we have drones and sensors and we have planes. a wall ask a colossal waste of money for a crisis that doesn t exist. the border security money that we ve spent has worked. the number of unlawful crossings has gone down dramatically in the last 15 years. the number of undocumented people in this country has gone down. that is worked. the crisis on the border is the asylum seekers. and again, they re not trying to sneak in. they re turning themselves in. that is what we need to address. the wall doesn t help anything. so the negotiations going nowhere. i do want to ask you about another very important topic. the very big news overnight about syria. the president has gone now from tr
avenue. what was your take? he was trying to demonstrate that law enforcement is behind him because he s projecting himself as the preserver of american national security. i am struck by how uniquely stupid this show of strength is for all sides. the wall ask was $25 billion. what the president wants is a display of defer republicans from democrats, once that he couldn t get from republicans. democrats have no interest in giving him a display of defer republicans. b a lot of people aren t making money behind this exercise in power play. so, susan paige, let s take a moment to talk about the history that was made yesterday with nancy pelosi being sworn in for the second time as speaker of the house. and in so many ways, it was an
the military at the highest levels in history, far above even his budget request. i reluctantly put his wall ask for the southern border on the table. it was his request. we left the meeting having agreed to try for a short-term cr that would keep everyone at the negotiating table for a few more days. the president suggested, let s do it by tuesday night, we said, great. several hours later he called back, he said, so i hear we have a three-week deal, i said, no, mr. president, no one has talked to me about a three-week deal. i heard that s the deal. i said, no one has talked to me. i called leader pelosi, no one had talk today her. then a few hours later they called back again. well, we are going to need this, this, this in addition, things,
erroneously paying because they don t even realize what they are being contacted about. you say get the creditor s addresses and write to them i think that s always a good policy if a bikini clad model posts on my wall ask for her address. if she is legit you might have some other reason to contact her. post tactics to the ftc. let them know that these individuals are posting on your wall, how do you do that? by contacting through email or through letter the federal trade commission or new entity. the consumer financial protection bureau. and they are in the midst of writing regulations. you can weigh in on that. tell what s happened. all right. lorianne druce. great information this morning. we appreciate you joining us. thank you. and to the bikini clad model who keeps writing on my wall i paid my macy s credit card years ago. stop writing to me. next up on the rundown. teachers offered discounts to learn how to serve and
