to build a wall and the first two years of his presidency, it is a failure from the top of republican leadership to get these big things done that he told the american people. what happens is people campaign and win elections based on promises and their delivered when printed in the republican party base, the president's supporters get frustrated. the discussion is not about a wall. it is a metaphor for will the republican party, the president, keep promises? will they take immigration is a national security issue and take it seriously? that is at the heart of the debate. people want to feel it will be followed up and there will be action. carley: the original bill funded the government through february but did not include money for the wall. todd: the president firing back at lindsay graham for criticizing the plan to pull

troops out of syria. the president tweeting hard to believe lindsay graham would be saving soldier lives in billions of dollars, why are we fighting for our enemy, syria, by staying and killing isis for russia, iran and other locals? time to focus on our country and bring our youth back home where they belong. i admire and share your love and admiration for our troops, troops believe in their commanders and so should you. they are worthy of your trust. graham and other critics say the fight against isis is not over and it is the wrong time to be pulling out of syria. carley: the president wants to pool half of our troops out of afghanistan but that is working on plans to bring 7000 service members home. they could be home by summer but an official timeframe is unknown. the us send troops to afghanistan after the 9/11 terror attack 17 years ago. more than $900 billion have been spent on america's longest war.

it is ineffective, they say. what is another plan the democrats have to seal the border up without a wall? do they have any plan outside of a barrier along the border? >> you can't just put up a regular barrier. you have to put up a wall. fences don't work. the thing with a wall is walls go 20 or 30 feet into the ground which disrupts tunnels. you don't just settle alien traffic or migrant traffic but also going to disrupt narcotic operations including thousands of thousands of tons of opioids that will make it across the border, supply and demand with opioids, that -- heather: they should be harping on when you talk about how many people are killed by these drugs, that should be the number one priority.

administration's cuts and regulatory reforms but democrat sets to regain the house in january could that change in 2019? here to answer that, george washington university's regulatory center and former administrator of the office of information and regulatory affairs, thank you for joining us. let's look at these numbers, billions in following deregulatory action. $12.5 billion, the department of labor, interior, transportation and the epa, those are some big numbers. >> they are. it is important to think about, this is a result of the president's pledge when he took office to eliminate two regulations for every new one they issue and offset the cost of new regulations. that led agencies to

dramatically reduce the flow of new regulations. it is important to distinguish the stock of regulations. >> what do you see when democrats take control of the house? >> that will change things. we are going to see much more oversight than regulatory agencies seen during the last two years. but also getting rid of existing regulations is what the agencies are doing now and that takes more work than slowing down the pace of new regulations would you actually have to write a rule to get rid of a rule so agencies are starting hard work developing the record, doing the analysis, getting public comment before they can issue something. jillian: the regulations from president obama and donald

trump, significantly different numbers. looking at the 1800 for donald trump and 3100 for president obama. what is the difference? >> it is influenced by the president's directive for agencies to offset the cost of new regulations, they want to issue a new regulation. they have to weigh it against what can i get rid of to do that? we have seen a dramatic reduction in the introduction of new regulations. you showed those statistics but even going back to 1993 much fewer regulations than any previous president. jillian: what will the year mean for what donald trump is able together with these regulations? what does it mean for 2020? >> the regulations that actually changed existing rules, things like epa and the department of

transportation, fuel economy standards, they tried to reverse last-minute regulations that would keep fuel economy standards, into the future. they are bound to be litigated, department of labor regulation that they finalized hard to be litigated so we should watch for those agencies efforts to issue final regulations to deregulate and how they fare in the courts. they haven't fared that well in the court so far. >> thank you for your time, appreciate it. busted at the border, suspected gang members arrested and violent crimes they are accused of committing. remember that? they were screaming and crying when donald trump was elected. why millennial's are turning to
