[ laughter ] caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. the vote in great britain to leave the european union was not really about macroeconomics. it was largely an emotional decision based on what the folks are seeing with their own eyes. that open borders and mass immigration have directly affected their lives and not for the better. entire cities in england have changed as millions of foreign-born people have poured into great britain. making full use of the public health and education systems establishing vast neighborhoods that mostly reflect their own origins. not traditional british culture. most of the immigrants are good people. simply seeking better lives for their families. there is no question that life in england or the u.s.a. for that matter far better, generally speaking, than africa, the middle east, or south asia. liberals are correct in saying it is compassionate to give suffering people a lifeline. but their numbe
This was one of them. will. an elementary principle of sovereignty is we control who comes into the country. i believe in immigration, but i believe that we set the parameters and the criteria for who gets in. and not to beliedly say well, a lot of people want to get in and that should be a good thing. if we are ever going to have a solution to the immigration problem, and i believe in legalization, it will only happen when a republican stands up and says yes, we will legalize but we re not going to get swindled like reagan in 8 w-6 a promise of closing the borders. bret: miss his voice every day, obviously. i will give you the last word on immigration and great to follow dr. krauthammer. really hard. old chair. but that was 8 years ago and a lot of that still resonates. he spoke then and speaks now for a lot of americans today it looks like that potential bipartisan deal senator tillis and sinema working on that may have crashed and burned at least
It is promised a final deal in which we are going to work out the details of its enrichment. dam against all proliferation. once a country anywhere can start to enrich, there is no containing its nuclear capacity. this is a sham from beginning to end. it s the worst deal since munich. bret: and, again, critics say this deal is potentially worse than that trey, we don t know what s in it. but we also are not following the nuances of this negotiation in the midst of where we get word that iran is trying to assassinate former officials. yeah. let me just start by saying how much i miss dr. krauthammer and miss his wisdom. bret, there is good news. iran this week so far has not assassinated mike pompeo or john bolton or brian hooks. they not successfully killed simon rushdie.
They have not killed an iranian human rights activist. if that s the standard whether or not we should be negotiating with someone that you have not followed through on your threats to assassinate and kill people? then, yet, it s a great week for iran. i have a higher standard for wanting to cut a deal with a country. but i m not the president. bret: all right. quickly, ben. last word. if the standard is if you haven t killed anybody in the last 72 hours, we can negotiate with you, then they are doing just fine. i agree with trey. bret: and i agree that we all miss the voice of krauthammer, especially on those big issues. he can cut through the noise. panel, thank you. finally tonight, a special report salute a chicago police officer received a hero s welcome after leaving rehab. danny, a third generation chicago police officer was left paralyzed after helping break up a fight while off duty.
Winston churchill lovers in this country as you well know. one of them was our late colleague dr. krauthammer who wrote once without churchill the world today would be unrecognizable, dark, impoverished and tortured. this book take as real look into a family perspective and your mother s view of the beginning of world war ii and just gives an insight that people don t usually see. indeed, it is historical but it was not written by a historian. when war breaks out, she is a 17-year-old girl who is literally just left school but what it does give is a very intimate view of churchill during the war and the stresses and strains he was under and of her growing devotion to him that lasted all her life. bret: it s a fascinating read.
