joining now, loyola law school professor jessica levin sson, along with my friend mark thompson. garrett, lay this out for us. we hear from lawmakers on all sorts of things, but this time what is the significance of hearing from kamala harris on this particular issue as it relates to the lieutenant governor? >> reporter: yeah, i think it's important and there's context here. i talk to lawmakers all day long. kamala harris is not someone who typically stops and opines on the issue of the day. she chose to come out and make these comments. it was clear she had a point she wanted to make, a well-considered point. this is the issue that has the potential to bedevil democrats. how consistent do they want to be on the fairfax issue in particular? the accusation against justin fairfax. you have democrats who are very outspoken about the accusations made against brett kavanaugh during the confirmation process. they're being pushed back against saying, okay, will you apply the same standards against one of your own? kamala harris coming out, a presidential candidate, someone who has a big

and my dear friend mark thompson in the house the host on sirius xm. corey, based on what you have seen, anything accomplished here? >> quite a lot accomplished if you're the north koreans. you have two summits in the space of the year from the united states. you have distance between the united states and south koreans. you have reduced military readiness of south korean and american forces because the president canceled the exercises. you got to keep your 30-some nuclear weapons and your missiles that can hit the united states. you got a pass on human rights and being the largest prison camp in the world. that's a fabulous outcome if you're the north koreans. i'm relieved that the president did not agree to something even worse, that he doesn't deserve any credit for creating a circumstance where we're grateful that the outcome isn't worse. >> noah, you treated this -- tweeted this, and i want to get the timing correct. you tweeted it before the summit fell apart but after nbc reported that the united states had dropped its requirement of the full ac

mark thompson. republican strategist rick tyler. kristen talked about the fight in congress. is this 2016 again? let's try it again? >> 2016 rebeooted for 2020, for sure. the wall became the signature issue on which the president l ral rallied. miller was integral to that entire strategy. the wall is metaphorical but has to be a physical thing. the white house will fight to be able to say to its base we went to the mat to build the wall. >> it's one thing to be the president. it's another to be a member of congress trying to run for re-election. republicans have been split on this issue. allowing an emergency deck declaration now would set a precedent. in this sense for sure, let's not say that every single person who is concernled about it is fr strictly political reactictiore. >> solidfy your side. the president has done the opposite. the republicans are split. i think the president may be on firm ground. despite he said -- he pretty much gave it up, his motivations. every reporter went to the department of homeland security. this don't have it. the point is, the law is bad
