remember, frank luntz called a meeting here three days after president obama was first elected. number one, we're going to make sure that obama is not reelected. that was a flop. number two, we're going to oppose everything the president wants, and that's what they've done. they've continued to do it. i have said it before. the first congress we had a lot of democrats, 58, 59, and for a short period of time, 60. we had some moderate republicans this enthat we could work with. but they're all gone, except susan collins. the next two have been thwarted by the oka obstructions that wee found and everything that we've tried to do. the republican leader is obviously now resorting to a tactic that they've decided to do in the frank luntz meeting. and that is just trying to run out the clock. it's as a football game, there's only a minute left to go. let's just run out the clock, who are a basketball game or a soccer game. stall it. we're ahead. it's tied. that's where we need to stay. instead of killing time on the score board, the republicans are using the cloture clock to till the r

to do so we enlisted the help of pollster frank luntz.e spoke with voters on both sides of the aisle to see what they thought about the influx of illegals coming into the united states. >> day after day, month after month, children have been coming across the mexican border into texas and has moved from a problem to a challenge to a crisis. let's hear what the american people think. first question for you all, should they have to go back? who says yes? and who says no? i'm curious, why not? >> you know, martin o'malley said it best, if you send these kids back, you're sending them to their death. we cannot be the country that is a beacon to bring people to us and at the same time deport children to murders. >> you actually believe they're going to get killed? >> i believe there's a risk of that. if there's a risk of that, then we need to be the place that brings them in. >> do you buy that? >> i don't buy that. the problem is if we keep allowing people to come in regardless of the age, they're effecting our economy, they're effecting our

that guy in the white house the whole thing was orchestrated by republican propaganda mastermind frank luntz and over the course of four hours a group of those powerful conservative lawmakers in the country committed to a plan of action on the guest list for this invitation only meeting with republican senators like jim de mint jon kyl tom coburn john ensign and bob corker also and in attendance were congressman paul ryan pete sessions jeb hensarling he took straight down longer eric cantor and kevin mccarthy they promised each other that they would filibuster and obstruct any and all legislation supported by president obama if you're looking for a reason why washington has been so screwed up during the obama years and years the caucus room conspiracy is your answer republicans decided that night that obama the night that obama was an auto inaugurated that they wanted to jimmy carter rising they don't care that millions of people have gone seven months now without unemployment insurance they don't care that our highways are crumbling and they don't care that a generation of young americans i

john kyl paul ryan there was fourteen republicans in them in the meeting room along with frank frank luntz and newt gingrich and they said we're going to give it yeah i do jim de mint was there in fact you know who now runs the heritage foundation you could ask him about it and afterwards pete sessions came out and said. to the national journal pressured it he said we are going to become like the taliban insurgency kevin mccarthy said we are going to oppose as the president tried to. do in the literal reign is if i that anywhere to say we are going to be like the taliban you will not find that what you final final every party who people we have two parties in this country two main parties they disagree on politics there's nothing wrong with saying if he does stuff and puts forth things that we don't like we're going to fight it we're talking about an economy and looked at all rather than talking about a six year plan to block any forward actions i got graduate that i don't have anything that was sold about because what they do not find what they ask them what those guys knew is that only s

agents but it's throwing more money than god what conservatives are saying i get it that you know frank luntz has put out the message that all the conservatives are going to talk about how we can't trust the president and whatever you describe his policies you have the preceded them with the word fail i know the memo went out and i got the memo in fact well i mean but but you know let's talk what about what's real here rather than once rhetorical will even the last immigration bill that was passed similar to this in the eighty six by actually ronald reagan didn't do anything to secure the border it just passed the legalization for the didn't mean is it illegal for before you say yes it did secure the border when he says problem now i see a bill that secures the border because that's the main problem is this bill does secure the border has he verified look balrog obama made a compromise the senate made a compromise you know bipartisan vote in the senate among republicans and democrats agreeing to this bill there is a compromise bill it exists and it should pass let me just say on the record sa

fourteen members of congress all republicans meet in the caucus room with with newt gingrich and frank luntz and newt has talked about this on this program bragged about they got together and they said we are going to become pete sessions the taliban he said we have learned from the taliban how to be an insurgency and and what's his name kevin mccarthy who is now the whip said we are going to oppose him on every single piece of legislation he is not going to have a legacy he is not going to have a successful stars uniform blame though for this kind of trickery in congress to the house of representatives and john boehner is a little unfair because if you look at the tactics that harry reid has done in the senate filling the amendment chair not allowing votes are a popular bills this i mean both sides are part of this and others there's a lot of any bill that comes through the senate it's notorious as any republican senator who fills the tree and has the complete control on it to put his friendly amendments in there and not leave any room for republican amendments or not even allow a vote and

pollster and fox news contributor frank luntz is here to help explain why. teth tax for the government's inheritance tax. you say call it like it is. but in this case, it seems to me and many others that abortion activists are doing quite the opposite and making it more vague. >> i understand why they're doing it. even the framing that you just did, which is pro-abortion, that this is an -- i want to set the context here. number one, it matters to people. pro-life, pro-choice, the issue of abortion, it does matter. but it is a lower priority when it comes to elections. when it comes to politics. about four out of five women will vote more on economic issues than they will on the issue of abortion. and second is that the american people think that politicians are trying to politicize something that they believe is intensely personal, intensely private, should be left up to the individual and the states to make a decision. so they don't like this back and forth between politicians. it's been a big issue in certain campaigns. colorado, for example, it's roughly

. >> you were talking with lee carter, she's at the company that frank luntz started with the whole dialsry, how -- notice on the split screen here, the red line, those are people who are more to the political conservative side. the blue side, to the political left. the divide seems to be impacting every single topic that they did the dial testing on and they did it on tuesday in texas. watch the dials. keep in mind red is conservative and blue is liberal. here is the president as he delivers a warning to russia about the ukraine. how does america feel? let's go to the dial. >> if russia continues to violate ukraine's sovereignty and that's separatists become more and more dangerous and now are risks not simply to the people inside of ukraine, but the broader international community, russia will only further isolate itself from the international community and the costs for russia's behavior will only continue to increase. >> see the separation when the president talks about the ramifications? if you continue to do this, he'll only separate himself and conservatives don't -- that is the he

we've been talk to the politicians and we've been talking to the experts but frank luntz talked to youe people of the united states. here is one of his famous focus groups to figure out who are you blaming for this? is it the guy at the top? listen. >> i don't care whether you voted for him or where you stand, who believes the president is handling this crisis on the texas border effectively, raise your hands. not one of you. how many of you voted in barack obama in 2008 or 2012? i want to point that out. not one of them gives barack obama an effective rating for what he's done on the border. this is pretty damning. >> amazing, think about the hands being raised and all the people who voted for him, half the room and when asked that question hands down. >> where's the leadership? >> the gallup poll says the top riert right now certainly -- top priority right now scrutinized by americans because the problem is in their backyard. according to to experts 90,000 could reach here by september. >> we could have long time senators make bold statements. instead they compared to things like wor
