1:00 pm
show. they get to my panel and thank you all for watching. we hope to see you right here next week. and according to the white house, he will touch on the theme of quote - building a safe, strong and proud america. hello everyone and welcome to this afternoon to "americas news headquarters". >> the president also reportedly touted his new immigration reform plan. the white house getting a head start today in making his sales pitch. >> the president has listened
1:01 pm
to both sides. he feels very strongly that in order to ensure that we have border security, and working so that we are able to protect our national security, it is clear that this framework is a step to move in the right direction. >> we are live at the white house with more. >> good afternoon. the president is preparing for his first state of the union address where he will outline his priorities for his second year in office. senior administration official said the president will focus on the economy. a number of other issues perhaps like immigration and a proposal to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure. >> the present will also make an appeal to democrats to make an appeal to say that we need to rebuild our country and make an appeal that we do infrastructure in a bipartisan way. >> the senior administration official said the president will offer a more empathetic tone in reaching out in a bipartisan way. the president that will also discuss his immigration
1:02 pm
proposal. the white house is one right now that will extend essentially a pathway to citizenship. it will take about 10 to 12 years with 1.8 a in so-called dreamers. those brought to the united states illegally as children enter now here and go statement present once the exchange for portable funding and an end to so-called chain or family-based migration and the visa lottery system. democrats have rejected that offer. to that the president has tweeted court democrats are not interested in border safety and security or in funding and rebuilding of our military. they are only interested in obstruction. house minority leader nancy pelosi says the presidents plan that was offered to them is essentially a campaign to make america white again. that is when negotiations are ongoing.
1:03 pm
their trying to find a way. in the president getting a sneak peek at how he is likely to just the issue of immigration. the strength of the union address the president went on twitter last night touting when he calls a quote - wonderful deal for dreamers. adding that republicans want a solution. here is a help majority leader kevin mccarthy. >> the president just put out a compromise. it really goes to show and by the way this is a opening bid. >> i view that as an opportunity to show who is willing to solve this. if you want to solve this and another five or 10 years, if you want to do this correctly. i think the bill has a lot of merit. >> molly is live in washington now with details of the plan. >> the president has offered not just permanent residence for recipients of daca but those are qualified and do not apply but also a pathway to citizenship where 1.8 million of them. he also says he was $25 million
1:04 pm
for the border. and that does not sit well with some democrats and independents who caucus with them. >> we have the bed part that comes is the idea of a wall which i thought was a great idea in the 15th century when trying to build the great wall. not so smart today we have technology that is much more effective and more cost-effective in terms of protecting the border. i think this should be debate on how much money we spend on border security. >> one republican senator says the wall will not go or doesn't need to go. >> we need wall systems, you need roads, redundancy. you need to fix old fencing. we will not build a 1900 mile wall but the money can be spent wisely. >> republicans say the president is going to forward citizenship for the people that did not even sign up for daca.
1:05 pm
>> there saying there are more than other people upright will probably be more than that because of fraud. if they want to talk about this pogrom it's one thing but they don't. they want to give amnesty to more than twice as many people as the president obama did.>> arkansas gop senator tom cotton -- has said that the presidents plan could be acceptable quote - as long as we responsibly stop the future illegal immigration and unfair chain migration. thank you. >> and the future of immigration reform expected to be a major topic on tuesday night. for the president convince democrats to come to the negotiating table? and can he get members of the base who are outraged at the possibility of getting citizenship to nearly 2 million illegals? we'll talk about that with white house colonists for the hill. this would of the public
1:06 pm
watching tuesday night and on wednesday morning that congressional offices would get bombarded with phone calls. and letters and the sort of thing. do you think something similar will happen when the president laid out plans immigration? >> there is the potential for that to happen. clearly, the president make the argument that his proposal is fair, in the sense that it provides some things that democrats will not. specifically a pathway to citizenship. and also something that republicans want. i think the problem with the pattern you just suggested is are there persuadable voters on this? immigration as we know is a very divisive issue. and as he moved public opinion in his favor? >> basically you're saying both sides are entrenched. how does he modify the base? as i said, who are not happy with the possibility? >> that is a great question. it's interesting that we have seen some conservative groups come out quite strongly against
1:07 pm
this proposal. they see the pathway to citizenship as an amnesty for illegal immigrants. i so for example a number of administration today talking about the fact that there were other conservatives who are on board with this idea. i think the president will have to call on his dealmaking abilities to persuade people in his base. the price here is worth paying. >> also talked about price and the economy. and we have a recent poll that surprised officials are 40 percent. look at the bottom number. says 34 percent were about one third think that the economy is the same but you have the gdp of 2.6 percent. consumer confidence is a higher 17 years, unemployment down 17 years. every $1000 gift that corporations are giving out. what does the president have to do to get that message out to the public on tuesday night
1:08 pm
about the economy? >> to my mind, the actual occasion of tuesday night present him with a great opportunity. i know he is a twitter president. he communicates on social media lot peabody state of the union address is massive pubic look at a t.v. audience or maybe 35 or 40 million americans. so that provides an extraordinary platform to make his case. you really say that his policies have improved the financial lives of the people. clearly, as we say is a polarized company. there are people opposed to this come what may. but the ability to talk about the number of people is itself extraordinary.>> you talk about twitter. it is really like a state of the union every time he sends each week. you will see three or four every morning.
1:09 pm
and when you have this constant direct communication, versus everyone sitting around waiting for a radio speech or waiting for the vision of the future from the president of the united states for the next year. >> on one hand, the circumstance is around the state of the union address. it remains good at the distance of occasion remains. i think it was a grand and impressive thing in and of itself. twitter is certainly something the president has used in a very effective way. some people would say. i know some do not like what he tweets but there is a message each day. the state of the union is still an opportunity to provide a longer case about an entire agenda. i think that is what we are seeing. >> finally refocusing on the president but it is intriguing that the representative, joe kennedy of the kennedy family, the dynasty. you will be given the democratic response.
1:10 pm
a young guy said to be an up-and-coming star from massachusetts. what is the significance now do you think of the fact that the democratic party had chosen someone who bears the kennedy name and has a lineage? >> part of the significance as you say is who he isn't. congressman kennedy is not considered a top-tier candidate for the 2020 nomination. i think democratic leaders would face accusations of bias if the chosen some of the more prominent contenders. but his name, there is glamour to the name in american politics and it is an opportunity for him to increase to a greater extent. >> we will see about the first state of the union for donald trump and the first look for many in the country at a new generation of the kennedys all on tuesday night. good to see you. thank you for joining us. >> always a pleasure. >> you can call -- you can cash the state of the union address 9 pm eastern on tuesday night. we will not miss it.
1:11 pm

1:12 pm
they said that they interviewed people that work at the casinos and found decade-long pattern of sexual misconduct. >> i think they're very serious allegations and should be treated as such. >> he has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to republican candidates and committees. public records show that over the years he has made donations to both democrats and republicans. the new york times says the contributions amount to more than $5.2 million. in the republican national committee finance chair, wynn help the rnc raise even more than that. democrats are calling on the rnc to return any money they received from the billionaire pointing out that republicans called on democrats to return money they received from harvey weinstein. republican senator lindsey graham says the rnc chair should have time to look into the allegations and if they are true. >> should return the money. >> in a statement the dnc said quote - in the exact words of rnc chairwoman mcdaniel, if you
1:13 pm
stand for treating women well and you stand for the respective women, should not take money somebody treated women with the absolute highest level of disrespect. wynn says the allegations against him are preposterous. he has never assaulted a woman. arthel. >> ellison barber, thank you. >> and five people have been killed. a gunman opened fire in a small town car wash. this occurred near pittsburgh overnight. this happened in mel croft about 50 miles south east of pittsburgh. this was at 3 am. police are trying to determine if the shooter escaped or if the gun man or woman is one of the bodies at the scene. victims identified only as three men and two women. a motive for the shooting is still under investigation. >> protests across russia against upcoming presidential election. now vladimir putin, a vocal opponent is under arrest. this is coming up in a live report peer plus i ran

we confirmed that rms create an 81-year-old iranian-american businessman. it has held in prison but only for a few days because of deteriorating health. he arrived and went to visit his son who is serving a 10 year sentence for quote - collaborating with a foreign government. the us has been in back discussions with iran to release him. what are the state department tweeting quote - we welcome the release given his deteriorating health. but we note that his release is only temporary. we called for the immediate and full release of the family including his son. as well as other americans unjustly held by the iranian government. join me now, we have michael, director of the foreign policy research at the institute. how big a deal as this for the trump administration and how does this position the president for his meetings with
1:19 pm
un security or officials coming up on tuesday? >> good afternoon. it is not a big deal. it is a 81-year-old man that should have not been held in the first place.he was be given a temporary medical break. this is the sort of thing that should be a no-brainer that the iranian government. i'm surprised they're letting him out for four days because you would have thought as harmless as it is, this elderly man, they would have wanted to give the appearance of being humanitarian and reasonable. because as we know the president is trying to persuade other countries to get tougher on iran in one way or another. the more that iran can do to soften the image without having to give up anything meaningful, you think that would be the game they want to play. i am disappointed is for four days. i do not consider it a big deal. >> i understand your point. how do you reconcile with iran as long as you have the conflicting views of the islamic republic hardliners and
1:20 pm
those of iran's president. remaining is a major political barricade. >> no doubt. i think we all know as much as one might hope for a long-term improvement, in the us and iran relations starting with better behavior by the iranian regime, is something we can expect in the short term or even the medium term. i think for the president the dilemma is this. we know he does not like the iran nuclear deal. most of his cabinet seems to think that now that we have it we are better off sticking with it than not having it. however, highly crisp applicants around all of the domain of the aggressive behavior and human rights at home and again with the prisoner issue that we are seeing today to the activities in yemen and iraq and syria and beyond. we have got to have a regional strategy that pushes against iran. also that the president would like to have some of the limitations of the iran nuclear deal become permanent because as you know, a lot of them start to expire in six, eight
1:21 pm
or 10 years. those are the two big areas with the trump administration is trying to create an international sense for the need to put more pressure on iran. hope we do not pull out of the nuclear deal because i think will be a situation where we have seen as the violator of an accord that on its own very narrow terms, iran is essentially complying with. but they are not complying with decent norms of international behavior and other aspects of the middle east policy. that is where we have to get tougher. >> i will follow-up in a second but let me tell you this first. according to reported by fox news, jennifer griffin, there are more than a dozen other americans held in north korea. turkey, afghanistan, syria, mali and yemen. and venezuela. getting back to iran, fbi agent robert levinson has been held captive of the customer ran from his 11 years. i wonder, you do not see too optimistic but, will today's turn of events lead to the release possibly of other
1:22 pm
american prisoners? i mean after levinson family has been talking to his poor health as well. >> absolutely. one would have to assume that the answer is no. we should not be optimistic because these prisoners have been held for so long on such flimsy pretense that the idea that somehow a reprieve for an 81-year-old man leads any general softening of prisoner policies pretty optimistic. i do not expect that. frankly i'm surprised the iranian regime. when i thought that even being in many cases the things that a lot of them are, it would have seen prisoner release is a way to soften the image and therefore, improve their odds of not getting all this other international pressure that the trump administration is trying to find. but apparently it is not one thing they're prepared to do at this juncture. >> can you sum up for me and 30 seconds which of the president and his security council or counterparts or advisors i should say, what do they say to iran at this point?
1:23 pm
you know you say you have an 81-year-old sick man out here that is really not a great gesture. how can the president get tough on iran and make it stick? >> it has to be country by country and issue by issue. with 30 seconds i will give you one example. here we are in iraq having largely defeated the islamic state. and i give a lot of credit to the president trump and obama and the men and women in uniform worked with iraq is to do that over the last 2 to 3 years. but now we have to help iraq to get stable. we need to encourage the government in iraq to reject across sunni and shia lines. and in a way that everyone gets by and everybody gets benefit. we should stay engaged in iraq it was to keep troops there is trainers. we should keep giving economic aid which they desperately need. partly for our own influence to get to a point where we can physically help this country be a little bit more cohesive so
1:24 pm
it is less vulnerable to iran's games. iran plays games when there is weakness and chaos and they can put one person against another. they are at a juncture. we have to help the iraqis get stronger. >> .a.thank you for your analysis. i have to leave it there. >> my pleasure. >> in russia the opposition -- has been jailed. this time for the fourth time in the past year. he has been calling for the nationwide protests against the presidential election in march. as you know, vladimir putin is widely seen as winning the reelection. and -- block from the ballot is urging supporters to boycott the vote. amy is following this for us this afternoon from italy. >> hi eric. what they are hoping is not a low voter turnout will erode some of the legitimacy of this upcoming election that nobody doubts the president vladimir putin will win. but he is getting a lot of traction with young people.
1:25 pm
many of whom have had known only one present their entire lives. i will be vladimir putin who has really run the show for 18 years and is expected to run it for another six. now, this is russia's most popular opposition figure but as you mentioned, he has been barred from running for president this march due to a medical dubious fraud charges. supporters coupled with police today and tried to break into the detention facility. he was taken to after he was arrested. he chanted slogans about elections that they claimed are already stolen from them. >> this is just outrageous that navalny is not allowed to run for president. there is no democracy. what sort of thing is this? we already tired of vladimir putin. >> navalny was predictably erected on his way to the march today. he said quote - this means nothing. this is not about me. it is about your future. earlier his offices were raided by police and they said they were checking out a bomb
1:26 pm
threat. navalny team was broadcasting about this today saying that the time they were taken off the air but not before calling for the police to step in front of the cameras and show themselves. navalny, eric, has been pretty much visible on the scene for at least seven years now. he is not for calling out corruption and for naming them influence party the party of quote - crooks and thieves. he is as you mentioned, intermittently in and out of jail. and even with attacks last year with green painter acid that partially blinded him mercilessly, just temporarily in one eye. but he says despite this he will not give up. >> it seems that the iron hand of vladimir putin -- >> delays in getting medical care to brave veterans. some va hospitals are still among the worst in the country. the disturbing details, still ahead. plus it is the potential interview everyone is talking
1:27 pm
about. well president trump sit down face-to-face with special counsel, robert mueller? and the battle over releasing an obama era surveillance memo. as the house intelligence committee gets rage about over making this public. how could this impact the russia investigation there? millions of us suffer from the symptoms of dry eye. theratears® unique electrolyte formula, corrects the salt imbalance that causes dry eye. so your eyes will thank you. more than eye drops, dry eye therapy. theratears®. and when youod sugar is a replace one meal... choices. ...or snack a day with glucerna... ...made with carbsteady... ...to help minimize blood sugar spikes...

1:29 pm
1:30 pm
a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home, with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day,
1:31 pm
so you can stay home. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. >> the house now could vote as soon as tomorrow on the fiza memo that they are calling explosive. they say that the memo will
1:32 pm
outline the fbi and justice department. they say it shows misconduct that targeted the trump campaign. days reportedly does unverified trunk dossier was compiled by former british spy christopher steel. preparing then candidate donald trump for fusion gps. democrats say this is purely political and say that the information is classified and should not at all be made public. but republicans beg to differ. >> there is nothing in this memo. the department is not ready aware of. if you think that your viewers want to know whether or not the dossier was used in court proceedings or whether or not was vetted before it was used or whether or not it has ever been vetted, if you're interested in who paid for the dossier, if you're interested in christopher steel his relationship with hillary clinton and the democrat national committee then yes, you'll want this to come out. >> and knowledge bring in our panel and on this.
1:33 pm
-- welcome to you both could alexander let me start with you. do you think that the fiza memo should be released? >> i think so because one of the most important part about the institution particularly the branches that serve under the executive branch is credibility. that is how they're able to enforce the law and so if there has been misconduct, the american people should be aware of that. to make their own judgment. i think that going back to the summer of 2016, there was clearly a pattern of favoritism when it came to the hillary clinton campaign over donald trump. we look at 4 july weekend interview, turning up a blind eye to them destroying blackberries and other devices, that had classified information. i think we could see there was clearly treatment given to the hillary clinton campaign that the trump campaign or any
1:34 pm
others -- >> do you think that is the case wendy? you think this -- >> no, this is another tile in a string of mosaics that they're trying to derail the investigation. we have found that some of the information was in the memo that is completely based on speculation and could be something that is a danger to national security. that is the issue here. this is not something that we can painter their blood rushes everyone in the fbi do not do the job where they were sending these emails. there are members in the at the other put their names on the line to make sure that our country say. that fidelity and bravery, and integrity that the fbi is known for stands today. this memo here is just another way that we are trying to distract and send a smoke signal that they investigation is not doing what it's supposed to do. >> there is no doubt that the fbi in law enforcement that we are than gratitude in this country. their lives are being put on the line for us to protect us.
1:35 pm
but wendy, what about what has been raised by republicans is that they have read this and it is classified. they state is quite explosive and the american people should find out about it. >> i think the american people should have knowledge but then again, a lot of information from what we are hearing is speculation and that is the issue. not everyone is going to look at this and say some of this information is true and some is not. they will take it as it is a fact. and that is going to be the issue. we will create conspiracy theories within the omniscient and we do not need that. we do not need to be divided. we need to come together as a country and this memo ãon top of that is not completely correct or accurate. and that is the issue we are having here. >> if this does come out, do you think that it would cause more division old people have a clear look behind the curtain at this investigation? >> i think we're doing so much time speaking to a memo that none of us have really seen. and i think that is precisely the point. pretty institutions to maintain
1:36 pm
the credibility that day need to enforce the laws of the united states, they need to have transparency. and this doesn't take away from the tremendous sacrifice that so many great men and women who serve in our armed forces and in the law enforcement, the fbi, the sacrifices that they make. i think that it adds to their credibility sure transparency to acknowledge when misconduct has occurred.>> is interesting the assisted attorney general, the final point. he has said that they should look at this although they said could damage nasa security. could it be released in the redacted form? we don't reveal the sources and methods. you have a lot of black out there but at least something could then come out that the american public would want to know. >> absolutely. i think that is actually a happy medium. that's a good compromise. and the whole issue send this is whether or not there will be issues of national security.
1:37 pm
if we are able to sit here and say let's make sure that we give this to the fbi, who our officials to look for this and we have information that the better person to just release it completely unholy to the public. >> alexander, last words? >> i agree.i think we need to put the interest of national security first. but to the extent of transparency can be achieved by these institutions i think that it only helps sorting out problems that might exist like they do in any institution. and making sure that their credibility going forward in the future to enforce the law. >> will see what happens if they do indeed have the vote tomorrow and if the american public will eventually see this. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> president trump has said taking care of our veterans is one of his top priorities but some va hospitals continue to rank among the worst in the country. including arizona. four years after the scandal broke that dozens of veterans in the phoenix va system reportedly died waiting for care. will carr has a story out of
1:38 pm
la. >> four years after the scandal rocked the va the president continues to pledge that care will improve for veterans. >> have already made tremendous strides in delivering for veterans including passage of long-awaited veterans accountability legislation. >> in fact, the va intermittent showing significant gains from many hospitals. but in phoenix, consider ground zero in the 2014 scandal after dozens of veterans died while waiting for care, the facility once again ranked as one of the worst in the country in 2017. the report gave units 1/5 stars for the second year in a row. >> we are worlds away when we were in 2014 i think we are regaining their trust even though it is one veteran at a time. >> they say the sevent director since the scandal broke to glover and 2016. >> 1/5 before so we talk about trust, we talk about the
1:39 pm
veterans here in arizona, why are the improvements not happening faster? >> they need to happen, we all know that. we still have a lot of work to do. our work is incomplete. >> nelson tells a dramatic drop in patient work times, slashing the duration to get an appointment over the last year from an average of 30 days down to just 11 days. but in a statement arizona senator, jeff flake tells us he is truly disappointed in the continued poor performance at the phoenix va. wearily, greater oversight is necessary. >> and disappointed because we are not where we are. i mean we want to give ourselves a 10. we are not there yet we have a lot of work to do. >> would you feel comfortable getting your healthcare at the facility there? >> absolutely. i would absolutely bidding -- be comfortable getting my healthcare there. >> -- we are taking a proactive approach is that of a reactive approach. and that is a big change.
1:40 pm
>> part of this change includes new members traveling across the country to me with whistleblowers and doing what they can to help resolve issues. >> thank you. >> immigration is a major theme of the presidents first state of the union address on tuesday night. this as there is a full-court press by the white house and congress. to try and come up with a solution to daca. and it made a stopgap measure with the government expiring soon. can they make a deal? >> if my democratic friends will calm down, i know it's hard to deal with the president but take a deep breath. we can get there. america will be so well served to start fixing the broken immigration system. obama could not do it, bush cannot do it, donald trump can do it. it takes a lot of work to run this business. but i really love it. i'm on the move all day long... and sometimes, i don't eat the way i should.
1:41 pm
so, i drink boost to get the nutrition i'm missing. boost high protein nutritional drink has 15 grams of protein to help maintain muscle and 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d. all with a great taste. boost gives me everything i need... to be up for doing what i love. boost high protein be up for it

(a voby daft punk is heard bettethroughout.) (sound of typing) (sound of exhaling) (sound of drilling) jimmy (shouting): james! brand vo: the world's largest workforce works for themselves. we work for them. quickbooks. backing you. >> lawmakers are looking for
1:45 pm
middle ground with the president immigration as the clock ticks to keep the government open. stopgap funding passed by congress expires in just 10 days. which is also when legislation on daca is expected for the president resenting a plan that includes the past to citizenship from nearly 2 million so-called dreamers but will it bring democrats to the negotiating table? the subject is a hot topic on sunday shows. >> i think they recognize the benefit to really securing the border and helping to fix the long-term problems. yes, i think will get widespread support on our side. the question is politically. is not a policy issue. >> i am a comfortable work with any type of proposal they put in either a large package or a scaled-down package but i think we need to have an overhaul that we had an overhaul with the immigration bill we did in 2013. i would like to see that piece of legislation. i think the urgency to get this done.
1:46 pm
unfortunately the government was shut down by schumer. they said they wanted to take it hostage me to stop the meetings that we were having in my office every day on a bipartisan basis and we were making great progress. let's get back to the table. questioning away the texas congressman arrington. thank you for joining me. you support all points in the presidents current plan to grant a pathway to citizenship to dreamers after 10 or 12 years? phase out the visa lottery program and family migration and spend $25 billion to secure the southern border? >> happy sunday to you arthel. let me react to that. i think first of all the president is doing with the american people elected to do. that is not be a politician and get stuck on doing nothing and your typical partisan gridlock. he is a negotiator. and he is showing a willingness
1:47 pm
to negotiate and making concessions so that we can solve this problem and move our country forward. i do not support expanding away from daca or extending out from daca. i think dealing with people that came to this country for the most part, by no fault of their own, is a reasonable thing. it is reasonable if security needs for the american people put enforcement that were having our american citizens with peace of mind that we have secured the border, stopped in the immigration and then having legal status, some peace of mind and certainty for the folks in daca i think is the right approach. i do not know why the president put citizenship in there after 12 years. i think what he should say because it probably takes about 12 years, is, work hard, pay taxes, stay out of trouble and get in line behind everybody else who is respected the laws
1:48 pm
of the land and worked as a legal child to become a resident or citizen of this great country. >> means you do not support daca. because the president is saying if you already a daca recipient you have a work permit, if you stick with it, stay in the country as 10 or 12 years do the right thing, abide by the rules, obey the laws. then you have a pathway to citizenship. >> again, i do not know, he just put a number in there. and said 12 years. my point is, you've got to get in line behind everybody else. >> this is what i'm saying. there's sin that they already are there. because of the laws in place. it was a suspended by the present. there are already there. so i don't want to get caught up on this because it's a lot to keep going on but i think you get the point. let me go here because this is what it's about. bipartisanship. if you, congressman, were to suggest a bill that would most
1:49 pm
likely get bipartisan support, what would be included in that bill? >> was a border security is number one. that means every resource we need to lock the border down so we do not and appear again. i would say put enforcement in the laws and every other measure was stop illegal immigration once and for all. only after we do that, putting our citizens first then i would say, draw a ring around the folks, the daca recipients were broken mostly by no fault of their own and say, if you work hard, pay taxes, go to school, stay out of trouble, ãwhat about 26 billion for the border security?text listen, i live in a border state. i represent a portion of that. i talked to the border patrol agents. we need physical barriers and whatever it costs to provide security for our citizens, we have got to make that
1:50 pm
investment. i have no problem with that. in fact, i put physical barriers and the entire comprehensive border security. >> congressman quickly, when people make a distinction over the comparison between the southern border and the border with mexico and the border with canada. are the distinctions that should be made? >> i mean, we're trying to solve a problem of contraband of criminals and criminal activity. flowing into this country and i didn't have to list off all of the things are happening on the sword in border. we need to have consistent immigration laws but the problem with drugs and crime and gangs is on primarily the southern border. we need to have a consistent comprehensive border security plan and we need to enforce the laws on both sides of the border and respect our sovereignty as a country first. then we can. to provide what i think is probably a very compassionate thing for people who are here
1:51 pm
illegally but by no fault of their own. that is why think that that daca recipient may be unique out of all names of people. >> congressman, you're up against the clock. thank you for your time sir. >> good to be with you. >> fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i'm glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. and improves function. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery
