4:00 am
david: good evening everybody the border crisis rages on, thousands tens of thousands of illegal immigrants crossing our southern border, some being apprehended, many of them, most of them not. yet it is illegal immigrants surge the catch and release policy has been expanding. kirstjen nielsen, secretary of d hs says the border crisis is what she calls a category 5 hurricane, and in my opinion it isn't a category 5 it is a perfect storm of colliding stupidity, in comp in competence and decades of cowardly leadership and tonight we continue our look into the border crisis and the in
4:01 am
effective leadership at dhs and the border patrol. we take it all up former secret service agent dan bongino among our guest the house judiciary committee authorizing a subpoena for the full unredacted mueller special counsel report, as republican congressman jim jordan said the dems simply want to continue their failed witch hunt into the trump adminitration. we take-up the radical dems perverse commitment to creating a constitutional crisis just to block the trump agenda. enough, enough, congressman matt gates, republican strategist ed rollins among our guests and president trump says freshman congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez is leading the radical dems out of fear. >> the green new deal, done by a young bartender, 29 years old. >> [laughter] president trump: the first time i heard her i said that's the most crazy thing. they are professionals that you
4:02 am
guys know that have been there for a long time. white hair, everything perfect and they're standing behind her and they're shaking of her. lou: indeed they are, former house speaker paul ryan also taking aback by cortez trump 2020 campaign press secretary kayleigh mcenany and the daily callers vince coglianese join us here tonight as well. our top story, the crisis at the border, and president trump saying once again, that unless the radical dems in congress come together, work together, he will shut down the southern border. the president tweeted this. "congress must get together and immediately eliminate the loopholes at the border. if no action, border, or large seconds of border will close. this is a national emergency." a national emergency indeed, since the beginning of the year, more than 200,000 illegal immigrants have been apprehended
4:03 am
, considering that for every apprehension an estimated three illegal immigrants makes it into the country illegally, and free of legal authority. that means more than 800,000 illegal immigrants have already crossed our border and gotten into the united states over the past three months and since december 21, 125,000 illegal immigrants have been released, released by immigration and customs enforcement. its been 46 days since the president has declared a national emergency yet the department of homeland security is flailing goes on. our first guest tonight is one of 17 republicans on the judiciary committee, but the 24 radical dems on that committee carried the vote today to subpoena special counsel robert mueller's full report. the judiciary chair, gerald nadl er, obviously intent on creating a political crisis, if not a constitutional crisis.
4:04 am
congressman matt gates also serves on the armed services committees and is a freedom caucus member, and like his fellow republicans, today voted against that subpoena. congressman great to have you with us. first, i must say a splendid green tie and i would like to get your thinking about nadler's intent here, it can't end well. >> no, this is the anatomy of sore loser among my democratic colleagues on the judiciary committee. lou these are precisely the people that told the country they had actual evidence of collusion and now they they've been caught in a lie they're running out of plays to run and so they continue to sort of, i guess, harass the president a variety of different ways and it's our job to show the country what's really happening here. it's the same witch hunt but just a different broomstick and these democrats are going to continue to pursue our president , even in the absence of evidence, and it seems like they just have no shame.
4:05 am
i would think that if i went and told lies to the country for 22 months about collusion i would at least say sorry. lou: i don't think i would expect sorry from nadler or schiff or any of the other prosecutors, but they really, they really have nowhere to go here. what happens when the president says executive privilege ended, the attorney general says these are the statutes, and our requirements in meeting procedure and legal restrictions on releasing that information within the mueller report. >> i don't think for a moment that the two time attorney general bill barr is waiting around for the next from jerry nadler to figure out how to do this job. attorney general barr has operated at lightning speed providing the conclusions to congress even over the weekend of the mueller report, and so certainly, he's going to be faithful to his commitment to get as much as is appropriate
4:06 am
and legal from the mueller report into the public square. i've supported that as has every other republican in the congress , but what we don't agree with is a strategy that would compromise sources and methods from our intelligence community, or that would limit our ability to conduct important investigations in the future. democrats made these very arguments when we were trying to get the underlying documents as to how this whole ridiculous investigation got started in the first place, now they're being total hypocrites. lou: do you ever pine for the day when you had a republican speaker and a republican majority say last year? >> well i certainly wish we had done more with the republican majority, lou. you and i are critics of the fact that when we have the gavel s we didn't do aggressive enough oversight to expose the genesis for this entire investigation and then hold the people accountable who committed the crimes that led to the witch hunt in the first place. lou: it's very clear that i'm sure the entire conference, except for the most committed rh
4:07 am
inos amongst them, there are many, would say that it was history or record that as a missed opportunity for the republican party and indeed for the nation. gerald nadler, i like to call him gerald nadler, it just kind of keeps it balanced to use that for the chair, he's making basically a mockery of oversight i just want to quote what he said. nadler and the dems are probing alleged obstruction of justice, public corruption and other claims against president trump, not president obama who apparently was critical at the point of the witch hunt, of the surveillance, of a sitting president in the united states, and is still not being held to account. what say you? >> it doesn't just end there, lou. you looked to the radical democrats are now trying to go and get mr. trump's tax returns from all the way back in 2013 so think about that in context.
4:08 am
they still won't investigate why peter strzok and lisa page were texting about the fact that the white house wanted to know everything about the trump campaign during all that illegal surveillance, but somehow they think the president's tax returns from five or six years ago is going to create some new sense of clarity for the country it's ridiculous. we need to spend our time ensuring that never again is our ins process used for political gain by people who would convert opposition research into a document to justify surveillance on an american citizen. that is the real conspiracy, that is the real corruption, and everything else is the effort by democrats to distract us from how corrupt the dnc and clinton campaign were during this time with foreign adversaries. lou: and one of the questions that i think doesn't get much attention if any at at all is why was it necessary to go to fusion gps? why was it necessary to go
4:09 am
through all of this that the justice department engaged in and the fbi when they have 16 agencies and the intelligence community that had no clue about russian intervention and attempt ed intervention in the election, didn't a prize a single authority of that intervention, didn't warn the president of the united states -- elect, didn't warn the leading candidate in the republican party, nor the new president of that intervention. it was an absolute failure of intelligence and mind boggling, it's just utterly mind boggling to me, to think that the intelligence committees involve themselves in a witch hunt against a newly-elected president, instead of finding out what in the hell is going on with an inept intelligence community? >> we can never let it happen again to any president,
4:10 am
republican or democrat. that's why we need to look at legislation, to open up the fisa process, for more transparency to confirm fisa judges publicly so we know what they believe that they won't violate the rights of american citizens, based on this kind of political crap. we should never have it again in the country and what i'm upset about is that democrats are turning a blind eye to that scandal, and instead, you know, hoping that page 342 of the mueller report will be a saving grace for people who were lying to the country for two years on a fake russia collusion narrative. lou: well speaking of investigations, this is a time for the president to investigate what is going on with his administration to explore what it's going to take to actually deal with this emergency that he declared, dhs secretary nielsen is headed to the border tomorrow to yuma, arizona, one of my old
4:11 am
stomping grounds, to inspect the border. we're watching a nightmare unfold, a perfect storm as i said at the outset of this broadcast, are that involves out right stupidity, lack of knowledge about the border, about commerce and the border, and decades of presidents and administrations in both parties who have tried to avoid the reality that is now a complete and utter national emergency as president trump has declared. your thoughts? >> i like the fact that our foreign aid is going to be conditioned on results, and we're not going to take the hard -earned dollars of american taxpayers and ship them off to countries in central south america who are not doing nearly enough to stop these caravans, and these erosions of borders with mascara vans and migrations of people. mexico could do more, guatemala,
4:12 am
honduras, el salvador could do more and i'm glad the president is playing hard ball because this is serious. americans are dying as a consequence of our poorest border and the drug trafficking occurring there and we should not be subsidizing failure in the western hemisphere. lou: what do you think of shutting down that border the chamber of commerce very quickly totaled up the daily cost but they didn't release a simultaneous report about how much money corporate america and big business have made by exploiting cheap, illegal, labor brought into this country. >> well you and i both agree that america first means having a full web of policies, trade, border enforcement and otherwise , that ensure that we're protecting american interests and the american economy. i'm going to be traveling to the border with congressman andy biggs in the coming weeks and we're going to be making evaluations, but our current view is that we're reluctant yes to support the president using every tool at his disposal to finally get this problem solved.
4:13 am
lou: please don't be reluctant. it is a tough decision if it's the right decision. america, when it only works for business, is not working as america should and that is fundamental, i'm so proud of the president standing up for national security above commercial interest. it is time for us, we are facing a national emergency it's a time for sacrifice by everyone, if necessary. think about that. the possibility that all-american citizens would share the burden of making a decision in the interest of national security, i think that frankly is a far easier sale than the radical dems might suspect. congressman, it's good to see you we appreciate it. >> thank you, lou. lou: thank you, red storm rising , china and russia expanding their influence in central and south america infringing on the monroe doctrine, doing more, we take that up tonight in this broadcast but up next, paul ryan
4:14 am
doesn't go away he's lost all respect within his former party so now he's offering his limited political perspective and oh, so deep analysis to the radical left, in particular. one special socialistic, alexandria ocasio-cortez. we'll tell you what disappointed the rhino refugee from the house of representatives gop strategist ed role ins with us next. stay wit i can't tell you who i am or what i witnessed, but i can tell you liberty mutual customized my car insurance so i only pay for what i need. oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no... only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪
4:18 am
lou: rhino-failed former house speaker paul ryan loves apparently to handout political advice but he can't seem to get much attention for republicans, so he is turning to new targets. it seems now he has decided to share his wisdom with the radical dems, specifically, alexandria ocasio-cortez and ryan is apparently disappointed that she apparently didn't follow his advice. here he is. >> she's the youngest person now there, and i did raise a few little pitches, you may remember i don't think she really listen ed to anything i said.
4:19 am
>> [laughter] >> she's like take it easy, less things for a while. lou: set out your career, pass three bills and call it good. that's what he did and i worked on it. former reagan white house political director fox business political analyst, leading republican strategist, ed rollins. >> thank you, sir. lou: ed what do you think of that preposterous figure standing in front of those people talking about ocasio-cortez not following his advice, hell no one in their right mind would follow his advice? >> well they were both 29 years old when he got elected, she was a former bar maid. lou: which do you think is more qualified for the job? >> let me just say this he became a part of the system and she basically is throwing hand grenades at the windows and has gotten tremendous publicity and is a force to be reckoned with whether we like it or not, she's
4:20 am
-- lou: i don't dislike it i have to tell you. i think she has got some original ideas some of them are half baked some of them utterly crazy and some of them, appeal, obviously, particularly to of course the left. >> she went out and was a very significant incumbent and she's become the darling of the left, socialistic left, the problem is she doesn't know very much and then the socialistic agenda. lou: well people do learn. >> hopefully they do. lou: especially when you're only 29. >> but what ryan is advocating is the old school which is you go along to get along. lou: he's advocating being part of the system sucking up a trough as best you can and moving on with his life which is exactly what he did and contributed not a bit to the nation. i mean, that's a disgusting, to me, disgusting career. your thoughts on first, what is going on with this administration and the border? the president declares a
4:21 am
national emergency, 46 days ago, and i've got to say, i can't speak to what we discussed but i talked and i don't think there's any secret about it with secretary nielsen we had a very straightforward and pleasant talk, but i have to say, she sounded to me, as though, she were impeded by the system, that she is working in, rather than overcoming it, and i can't honestly judge how much is her fault and how much is not, but i do know this, that that government is not moving with urgency at all. >> she runs the biggest agency in government, she needs to be tough and crack the whip and she needs to implement what the president talked about because that's really the legacy the trump legacy today is the economy and getting that wall and securing that border. the rest of the stuff doesn't matter at this point. lou: let me say this. this president in every respect, in foreign policy, in domestic policy, you name it, this
4:22 am
president made promises in 2016 and he delivers. promises made, promises department, except when it comes to illegal immigration and when it comes to border security and that is a horrible worsening vulnerability for this president , a glaring electoral burden, facing 2020. i think it is, that's the reality of the politics, and the reality is that this nation is in jeopardy every day that that border remains open and i don't give a damn what the chamber of commerce says. >> well the public sees it every night on television and they are disgusted with it. they can't understand how you could have 100,000 people coming across-the-boarder every month, they don't understand how you have 1 million illegals coming in. lou: those are only the people being apprehended the ratio is 3 :1 for every person apprehended the traditional ratio has been three get through, so we're
4:23 am
talking about 400,000, because they are catching and releasing, a policy that this president has marked, and ridiculed, and we thought had eliminated. >> well as i said before, she just came back from great britain where she was obviously doing something. she needs to go to that border and stay in that border. lou: she will be here tomorrow. let's turn to this nonsense with the judiciary committee issuing a subpoena for the entire mueller report. what an exercise and fantasy by the nadler-led judiciary. >> well the president needs to say and the attorney general needs to say is thank you very much this was a report to me, the attorney general, two year investigation, you did a two year investigation you can release all the stuff that you have up there but you'll get what we think is important to you, there's too much that's confidential, there's people that have basically been implicated to not have committed any crime and he's got to be
4:24 am
basically tough on this because it's a drip drip drip and -- lou: there's no possibility that barr goes whatsoever. >> i don't think anybody else should but at this point in time you better have a strategy, better get in court and stop this stuff and just say i'm going to send your subpoenas up here, but we're not going to respond to them. lou: ed rollins good to see you my friend. thank you. lou: federal authorities investigating possible chinese spying at mar-a-lago. we take that up with former secret service agent dan bongino , he's here, next, stay with us we'll be right back.
4:28 am
lou: the radical dems and the fight for the illegal immigrant vote ramping up. the radical dems had more to give away it seems. 2020 democratic candidate kamala harris today introducing a measure in the senate that would allow the illegal immigrants known as dreamers to be eligible to work in congress.
4:29 am
thank you very much. this follows julian castro, another 2020 hopeful, whose calling for illegal immigration to be treated as a civil, not criminal, offense. well joaning us tonight former secret service agent dan bongino dan great to see you, and let's start first of all what do you make of all of the giveaways particularly on the issue of board border security, illegal immigration from the radical demonstratesing presidential candidates 2020? >> yeah, lou this radical wing of the democrat party which is seemingly nearly every candidate running i guess outside of john delaney who is more of a moderate who i actually ran against they've entirely given up on america. i mean, lou you're forfeiting borders now? how do you have a country without definable enforceable borders? it's a serious question i'm not being ridiculous, i'm asking liberals who watch the network
4:30 am
how do you define a country but has no borders the borders aren't enforceable and anybody, lou, can come in at any time with no penalty and then lay claim to the tax money earned by the hard working citizens of the so-called country does this make any sense? i think the answer is obviously no. lou: i think it's no, but in some ways, the people making sense are the people who understand they're coming into this country to receive in some cases, about $40,000 in welfare and benefits, education, the price goes up, some estimates in the case of children, hhs puts the cost at $800 a child a day. we're looking at some of the most mindless policies and idiotic government. do you remember president trump said he's going to bring smart government and get rid of that dumb government. i don't think he ever imagined
4:31 am
how stupid and entrenched stupid was in this government. >> it's funny you say that i'm laughing because i was just talking to a guy in my house bringing up that same thing that donald trump, so he's a builder he's had some ups and downs and very successful at times and he's had some moments as well but he has to build stuff in other words lou his model of success is actually looking at a physical structure where work has to be donald things have to be accomplished right? he has to be walking in this office on day one from the presidency up to this point going i can't believe i work with such idiots these people up on capitol hill like are we really having an argument about should be enforce the border of the united states? he has to be sitting there, lou, head in hand like this every day , thinking i can't believe i have to work with these people. are these even serious debates? lou: the political advisors who are advising him, mr. president, you have to explain why an emergency requires urgency.
4:32 am
you have to explain that to your cabinet, you have to explain it to your government, and then you have to explain it to the american people that thousands, millions of people crossing the border illegally is a problem. at the same time, he's sitting here 46 days from having declared an emergency, and the surge of illegal immigrations are as dhs secretary nielsen referred to them a vulnerable populations and migrants are crossing that border. i mean does language matter any more? doesn't she understand what the impact of that is? >> it does, and even jeh johnson, obama's dhs secretary in a moment of honesty came out and said listen, on what planet is this not an emergency? lou, seriously the same rational people and in what world is it that you live in where 10,000 people plus per day approaching our border and entering the
4:33 am
country illegally. the ones we know about, by the way. how is that not an emergency and is that per day it's not a monthly number it's a daily number. it's just stunning. we're arguing with people who have lost any more reality, any at all. lou: and maybe, maybe we've lost any claim to keep this country, if we are so stupid. when i call the government stupid, maybe it's cause the rest of us are stupid. we put this government together, we elect these fools that we send to washington. there are exceptions but i have to say, this president is facing the most stupid organization on this continent i think. >> bingo. no disagreement there. i listened to an election once, and he said something great. he said something the government is not too big it's just too stupid and as you can tell by this segment, he was absolutely
4:34 am
4:38 am
lou: joining us tonight former kansas secretary of state, chris koback, also general counsel for the non-profit group "we build a wallet they have ambitions to build a privately-funded voila long the mexican border chris good to have you with us. i want to just start it's stunning to me to hear the woman whose in charge of border security say the system is in meltdown to hear that she has waited six weeks from the time the president declared a national emergency to seek emergency authorities and resources. your reaction? >> well, lou, the solution to this crisis is actually a fairly easy one. i don't want to say easy but three major steps these steps should have been taken months
4:39 am
ago and i don't know why the agency has sat on its hands for so long but let me just quickly run through the three steps i would take that would solve this crisis. number one -- lou: let's take them one at a time just so that it's easier to communicate, and for all of us to understand. >> okay. lou: fire, one. >> number one, publish the flores settlement regulation, this would be a regulation that ends the flores settlement and defines how we can detain entire families together and they could have done that back in december, i don't know why they haven't done it yet but that should be done immediately and then that will stop the caravans from using children as get out of jail free cards. lou: could i proper a possible answer because kirstjen nielsen 's working for the chamber of commerce and the business roundtable rather than for the president of the united states. >> well i won't speculate on why they haven't done it but it would be an easy step to do. okay number two, lou and this
quote
one is deploy immediately dozens of immigration judges, as well as a fleet of passenger planes, and the thousands of empty mobile home trailers that the united states owns right now and is attempting to sell at bargain prices on the internet, instead of selling them, deploy them to border cities and create processing towns, that are confined, and so when someone comes in and falsely claims asylum we don't release them for six months on to the streets of the united states. we process them right there, in that camp, where they have the three square meals living in a nice mobile home and as soon as they're donald the claim is rejected they're on the next plain back home and then the people back home suddenly realize hey he just left here two weeks ago and yet he's back. maybe going in these caravans isn't such a great deal so let's process the claims right there, and at the border and not release these people, into the united states where they just disappear. that's number two. lou: just to recap, first the flores amendment, published last
4:40 am
4:41 am
4:42 am
says when somebody travels through one of our two countries and then claims asylum in the second country you say no, no, you have to claim asylum in the first country you set foot in so that is something that's very reasonable for us to ask. lou: let me see if i got this right. your third solution has us resorting to an agreement with a country that is the source of illegal immigration, 99% of illegal immigration on this continent at least, and we do have such an agreement with canada where there isn't such a problem. >> right. it works out great and mexico, then the other thing i'd ask for is by the way while you're at it why don't you throw in 5 billion for the wall and then we won't publish that reg, stop and remittances i'd use that leverage on mexico. he did those three things we solved the problem lou and then continue building the wall as fast as possible. we'd solve this problem. lou: well what we have is now an
4:43 am
emergency declaration that's now six weeks old. we don't have any evidence whatsoever from this department of homeland security, because of the secretary of homeland security didn't ask for any help , didn't ask for any resources or further authorities , and in fact, was traveling the midst of this emergency as her senior official s are describing "the situation" on the border as on fire. i won't ask you for your condition but chris, let me say to you, you've just comp up with more answers in five minutes than when you heard from the department of homeland security in quite some time. how receptive do you think the president would be to such suggestions? >> i think he would be. i think the president recognizes good ideas. he recognizes the crisis and he recognizes the need to move quickly, so i imagine that he would probably be willing to move forward if presented with these ideas. i just don't know why they
4:44 am
haven't been taken already. lou: that is the frustration for so many americans right now. this is a president who promised a wall. this is a president who promised to get this border under control , and we hear from mexico 's interior secretary, their top as you know, immigration officials saying basically, they have no plans to stop anyone entering this country and point of fact, that's interpreted by most as an easy pass across the u.s. border , well conveniently provided by the government of mexico. what would be your first step with mexico? >> well, as i said, in step three of my three-part plan we would publish the proposed reg, the first step and tell mexico hey, we need the safe third country agreement signed by the end of the week and we'd like you to chip in 5 billion to the wall. another thing, lou that i'm just astonished about is look, the
4:45 am
president has wanted this wall for so long, before he took office, and we should have had a plan by the end of january 2017 for exactly where we're going to build it. i've been talking with people on the border patrol on the border as i'm continually down there the last few months and until last week i hadn't heard any indication, people are confused they don't nowhere they are building this wall and only now are they formulating a plan as to where the new portions are going to be built. this is ridiculous all of this should have been done years or months ago. lou: chris koback, good to see you. thanks so much. appreciate it. and i appreciate your thoughts. >> thank you, lou. lou: i'm sure everybody in the audience of this broadcast, it's extraordinary, that we have a government that seems to be working against the president almost non-stop, or at least a significant part of it. thanks so much. appreciate it. appreciate it. >>
4:47 am
appreciate it. >> comcast business built the nation's largest gig-speed network. then went beyond. beyond chasing down network problems. to knowing when and where there's an issue. beyond network complexity. to a zero-touch, one-box world. optimizing performance and budget. beyond having questions. to getting answers.

4:49 am
4:50 am
peace talks in afghanistan. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has triggered the nuclear option to overcome radical demonstratesing obstruction of trump nominees the president's choices for the executive branch and certain judicial appointments can now be confirmed by a simple majority and if you weren't already terrified of the global security threat posed by huawei, this story may give you pause. the chinese telecom giant has set a new goal to surpass samsung and apple, as the world 's largest smartphone maker former vice president joe biden responding to a number of allegations of inappropriate touching by vowing to take a hands off approach to campaign ing. it sounds to me like he he's got hurdles we take it up with our political panel here next, stay with us.
4:55 am
lou: if you're counting, four women have come forward, they accused former vice president joe biden of touching them inappropriately, today, biden addressed the allegations. >> in my career i've always tried to make a connection and that's my responsibility i think i shake hands, i hug people, i grab men by the shoulders and say that you can do this and the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset and i get it. i work my whole life to prevent abuse. i've written it so the idea that i can adjust to the fact that personal space is important, more important than its ever been, it is just not thinkable. i will, i will. lou: well, i think we should applaud his decision, house speaker nancy pelosi also contributed to supporting his
4:56 am
candidacy, if he so desires it and she said his conduct is not disqualifying you may recall. joining us now trump 2020 campaign national press secretary kayleigh mcenany and vince coglianese, the daily caller's editorial director, and thank you both for being here, kayleigh let's start with you. >> thank you, lou. lou: how eager the president might be, how eager the campaign might be, that did not, frankly, look to me, like the image of a presidential candidate let alone all i could think of, i remember president trump taking on jeb bush with low energy. i can't imagine what he'd be saying about joe biden after watching that. >> yeah, that's right that was not a good look for joe biden and this is just the beginning of his troubles. you listen to that and the first thing that strikes you after listening to the full two minutes is there is no apology there. there's a lot of justifying not a lot of apologizing, how is
4:57 am
this going to be okay and acceptable with a rabid left democratic base that is out to get him, you know, there are rumors this was leaked by the bernie sanders campaign not sure if that's true but -- lou: he says not. >> he says not but the knives are out in the democratic primary and here we are it's just spring. lou: vince your thoughts on whoever it is among the this growing field of left wing candidates that represent the democratic party. well it's not a mystery that the former vice president is a hands y person. you can go anywhere in america and get that. what do you think of joe biden? he grabs women a little too much everybody knows this we have cameras that have captured this over and over and over again, and as kayleigh just pointed out , it's kind of interesting that now, of all-times, is the time when democrats are raising any concern whatsoever about it, and this is something that we've seen over and over. we saw with al franken actually is a perfect example of that when the democratic party feels
4:58 am
that one of their own stands in the way of their pursuit of power they will destroy that person. that is the time that they will destroy, and that's why you're here all of this person about the way joe biden is grabbing at people now, rather than over the many years we've seen this evidence pileup. lou: and it makes you kind of wonder about why former president obama hasn't immediately gravitated to his candidacy and enforced him. let's turn to the national emergency at hand, kayleigh. this president, 46 days ago, declaring a national emergency, since then its only worsened and the action that's been taken at this point is in conspicuous i'll put it that way. your thoughts about how this handling of this emergency is going and how it important it is politically to keep a promise to get that border secure and to end this nightmare at the border >> yeah, look, this president
4:59 am
