it's interesting what lamar has been doing over the past week.ked, heidi, about immigration and about this policy that donald trump claimed he couldn't do and lamar alexander was very straightforward. he said it's wrong headed and the president could do something about it today if he chose to. and now you have lamar alexander saying to the president in front of the president, hey, you -- if you stop demagoguing, which was what he was saying because nixon going to china means you go against, obviously, what people think of your hard-line position. if you stop demagoguing you've got a chance to put together an immigration fix that could be bipartisan and transcendent. that's important we're hearing from more and more republicans on the hill over the past week that they want the president to step up. >> i'm glad you're back on set today, joe, because this is your day. how many times have you been on set or me sitting in that chair in washington and you ask us when are the republicans going to step up, heidi? yesterday and throughout this week we've

lamar would be thrilled with that, wouldn't he?ization is something we should be considering. maybe that says something about our audience. i don't know. here is what else you've been saying throughout the course of the program. hard drugs should never be legal. does anyone want them as common as cigarettes and beer? i think it would usher in an unprecedented era of addiction. can i recommend a piece from "the dpardian" on what's go iin on in portugal because catholic conservative portugal did exactly this. treatment is a big part of what they're offering. it's not just, hey, let people do drugs. treatment and recognition of what drives it is a critical component but thus far they've had a very positive result. so do some reading on the portugal experiment and see what you think. hey peach pie, do you know what's so funny? to you my republican comes through loud and clear. i could fill screens from tweets from this hour of people that says i'm so sick of you, the lefty, that put on cnn. over the span i think it comes out somewhere

lamar alexander said this is a big mistake. calling tariffs higher taxes on american consumers. this is dominant. make america great again and should not mean make america at 1929 again. he argued when it comes to tariffs the u.s. should hit china, not our allies. he was not overly concerned about this. >> this has been on the discussion for quite a long time. is a very small percentage of the respective economy. a fraction of 1%. >> at the white house, fox news. >>> the nasdaq fell 20 point. >> trump pardoned -- he had been treated very unfairly. her trump also hinted that he is considering a pardon for martha stewart and a former illinois governor. he is serving a 14 year prison sentence on corruption charges and for trying to sell the senate seat vacated by barack obama. when he became president in 2008. >>> things are changing around. getting warm. certainly memorial day was a warm one. tuesday was pretty warm. wednesday not to bed. today. kind of on the mild side as well. e start to warm up from here as high pressure brings itself back into play. this will bring temperature

back to lamar's point, we both have responsibilities. we can do more together. >> i will say, with all of the numbers that you see, if we weren't strong on the border, you have have hundreds of thousands pouring through the border. they would be pouring through and the country would not be the country anymore. lindsey? >> we've got a big massive mess that's been going on for decades, and we're all going to fix it one day, i hope. we have a specific problem that puts the country in a dilemma. here's your dilemma, our dilemma, if a family shows up at the border, and we let the family go into the country and say please come back for your hearing, about 80% of the time the adults never show up for the hearing. i think most americans feel like that is bad. and it will create a third wave of illegal immigration. i want to be fair to the people who came here under the old system, but i don't want to create a third wave. the other choice is, if you detain the parents who broke the law under the flores decision, you have to break the family up. s

tennessee senator lamar alexander chaired the hearing which ran about two hours.

matter our tariffs and our senator bob corker, and i live in tennessee, our senator bob corker and lamar alexander has pointed out that these tariffs will disproportionately hurt voters in trump country. we have volkswagen plant in chattanooga, tennessee, a mercedes-benz plant in alabama and bmw in south carolina, electrolux, sweden appliance manufacturer, has a giant plant in tennessee. they were planning a $250 million reinvestment into that plant. go back to march. trump announces steel tariffs on a thursday. electrolux comes out on friday, let than 24 hours later, saying we're putting on hold this $250 million investment. i mean, this is not just policy hurting the american people. forget about the fact that these tariffs and this economic policy could be a disaster for the global economy. it's a disaster for the economy of trump country, trump voters. >> why do they buy into the narrative then? >> well, that's the mystery, isn't it? i mean, it's -- it's a cultiocc personality. >> doesn't make sense. >> there was always the argument to be made republican voters especially in rural ar
