>> erin, i worked on the campaign. from the moment that donald trump glided down that escalator two and a half years ago zmouna announced that he was running for president, one of his central themes was he was going to build a wall and with his voters, it was an extremely popular one. i think if he could get money for border security and some of it goes to some kind of structure, i've been to the southern border a number of times, by the way. there is just -- there's some improvement, but there's still gaping holes. but the other point here is -- >> okay, look -- >> why is nancy pelosi -- >> let me give van a chance to respond to that. >> okay. this is not the way to do business, period. the problem that you've got now is, it's not just the issue. i agree, there's a deal out there that could be struck. there was a deal on the table this summer that could be struck. but it's the hostage taking. it's that you cannot get into this posture now where you reward this kind of behavior. so we're going to be at this crossroads,
