story. want add way in. you didn t know this wasn t a case that came to you. we want to be a wall story. what are the different ideas? yes. this happens to us a lot and a lot of times we don t find the right story have to drop it and move on. in this case we found our ferryman and he operates the international ferry between the united states and mexico, essential lay rowboat. doing it 40 years now. and i just found him to just be an interesting and unique voice that i haven t seen on this debate. but the thing that really got us excited was finding out about the international park, which is something we also feature in the film, which in 1932 was proposed between two parks, one in america, in montana. glacier national park and the other one a sister park in canada and it was passed and we have an international park i didn t even know existed. make it make sense? oh. why wouldn t we? thought the same thing.
partnership between the u.s. and mexico. here is a sneak peek. here at big ben, we currently have a national park on the u.s. side and then protected areas on the mexican side as well. in 2013, we were able to open a port of entry here in the park. so visitors that come to big ben can cross into mexico. people go down there expecting it to be like this big commercial port of entry. they re like, it s a rowboat? cool. we ve got a big line over there. recently chuck spoke with the filmmaker behind ferryman at the wall and started asking him what drew him to the topic? the wall is a big story. still it. at the time we were researching, we made 40 films in our first year. so we constantly have our ear to the ground for a great story and were looking into the wall and found mike davidson, our ferryman. looking for a wall story? we were looking for a wall
industrial belt, are going to find this story very appealing, even if it wasn t real. gene robinson, the other piece of the story is that by the time donald trump reads a piece in the wall street journal about a plant that s going to be closing down in some state and open another one in mexico, it s too late for the president to do anything about that and his dream of suddenly imposing a tariff on that one company in that one country is impossible. it s not a presidential power. and congress has never imposed a tariff on an individual company, nor can they do that. so the power that he imagines he has, he doesn t have. he doesn t have the power to do that, he zruz the bully pulpit or will have the bully pulpit of the presidency. and as steve schmidt certainly implied and i think was saying, that s a powerful thing. if you get a phone call from the president of the united states
fence. for two vials of wall, you can get a predator drone. joining us now, j.d. nance. you know the trump voter that has become the most interesting trump voter. the one who gave him the electoral college, in those manufacturing states where they ve suffered losses in manufacturing jobs over decades, and they heard an awful lot of promises like that one, the build the wall thing, where, and china s going to pay for the wall. he s already asking congress to pay for the wall. how did they hear the wall story. is mexico paying for the wall an important part of that story or not? i think maybe it s an important part of this story, because it shows that trump is willing to say things that are controversial and willing to go after the people who are taking our jobs and so forth. but i actually don t think that among the core sort of average trump voter, that the wall was that important of a part. obviously, it was important for the rallies, as we just saw. but i don t think most people
