>> I'M LOOKING AT BOTH OF THEM.
I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T SIGN MORE
MODERATE ONE.
I NEED A BILL THAT GIVES THIS
COUNTRY TREMENDOUS BORDER
SECURITY.
I HAVE TO HAVE THAT.
>> YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE WALL?
DOES THAT MEAN THE WALL?
>> IF WE DON'T HAVE THE WALL
THERE IS NO BILL.
ASHLEY: GOT TO HAVE THE WALL.
WE HEARD THAT A LOT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS HE WILL NOT
SIGN A MODERATE IMMIGRATION BILL
ESPECIALLY IF IT DOES NOT
INCLUDE THE WALL.
THIS REPORTEDLY CAUGHT
REPUBLICAN LEADERS OFF-GUARD, AS
GOP LEADERS ARE WORKING ON
MIDDLE GROUND AND HARD RIGHT
IMMIGRATION BILL.
BOTH INCLUDE BORDER SECURITY
PROVISIONS LIKE THE WALL BUT THE
COMPROMISE GIST YOUNG DREAMERS A
CHANCE BECOMING CITIZENS.
JOINING US FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR
RACHEL CAMPOS DUFFY AND DEMOCRAT
STRATEGIST JOHN SUMMERS.
THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE.
RACHEL, LET ME BEGIN WITH YOU.
THAT TOOK SOME GOP LEADERS BY
SURPRISE, PRESIDENT SAID, NOT SO
HAPPY ON THE MODERATE
IMMIGRATION BILL OF WHY DO YOU
THINK THAT IS?
>> I DIDN'T THINK HE KNEW WHAT
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT IN THAT
MOMENT.
THE WORD MODERATE CAME OUT ON
IMMIGRATION.
I'M NOT MODERATE.
I'M NOT FOR THAT ONE.
HE IS REALLY BUSY, ASHLEY.
HE HAS NORTH KOREA AND IG
REPORT.
IF HE LOOKS AT BILL ALL HIS
PRIORITIES ARE IN THE BILL.
IT HAS $25 BILLION FOR THE WALL.
IT ENDS CHAIN MIGRATION AND
TURNS IT INTO MERIT-BASED
SYSTEM.
ENDS LOTTERY PROGRAM AND DACA
AND SOMETHING HE WANTED TO DO.
IT HAS PROVISIONS TO KEEP
FAMILIES TOGETHER AT THE BORDER
WHICH IS SOMETHING HE ALSO
WANTED.
I THINK THERE IS
MISCOMMUNICATION.
YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER HIS OWN
HARD-LINER STEVEN MILLER WAS
INVOLVED IN CRAFTING THIS
COMPROMISE BILL.
ASHLEY: RIGHT.
>> BUT IT IS ALSO IN LINE WITH
THE MODERATES IN THE HOUSE WHO
ARE IN TOUGH RACES IN
CALIFORNIA, TEXAS, FLORIDA.
THEY LIKE IT TOO.
THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS.
IF THEY COULD PASS THIS COULD BE
EPIC, NOT JUST LEGISLATIVELY BUT
POLITICALLY.
IT'S A HUGE WIN.
ASHLEY: WHAT DO YOU SAY JOHN?
IS IT A GOOD DEAL?
GET FUNDING FOR THE WALL.
TIGHTER SECURITY ON THE BORDER,
ENDING CHAIN MIGRATION, GETTING
RID OF REESE IS LOTTERY,
ULTIMATELY GIVING A PATH TO
CITIZEN FOR SO-CALLED DREAMERS S
THAT A GOOD DEAL AND DEMOCRATS
GET BEHIND?
>> I KNOW IT IS PROBABLY NEWS TO
SOME PEOPLE THAT PRESIDENT IS
HARD BUT SHOULDN'T BE NEWS TO
DONALD TRUMP.
ASHLEY: LOW BLOW.
ANSWER THE QUESTION.
>> BEING PRESIDENT IS DIFFICULT
JOB.
WE HEARD GEORGE W. BUSH BEING
DIFFICULT JOB.
THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE.
IT CAN'T BE A EXCUSE TO TELL
PEOPLE NOT TO TAKE PRESIDENT AT
IS WORD.
IF HE TALKS TO REPORTERS AND GOT
TO GO OUT THERE AND SPEAK
HONESTLY TO REPORTERS.
HERE IS THE DEAL.
THERE IS A LOT OF BLAME ON THE
REPUBLICAN SIDE AGAINST
DEMOCRATS FOR BLOCKING ANY SORT
OF PROGRESS BUT LET ME REMIND
YOU MITCH McCONNELL WHO THIS
YEAR SAID HE WASN'T GOING TO
BRING UP AN IMMIGRATION BILL.
IT WAS PRESIDENT TRUMP THIS
MORNING WHO SAID HE WASN'T GOING
TO SIGN THIS BILL THAT WAS
CRAFTED BY REPUBLICANS
THEMSELVES IN PRIVATE.
LET ME ALSO REMIND BUT THE DAY
AFTER CHUCK SCHUMER MET WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP, HE CAME BACK TO
HIM WITH A POLICY PROPOSAL AND
PRESIDENT SAID, I LIKE THAT.
LET'S DO IT.
AND JUST A SHORT WHILE LATER,
HIS STAFF KILLED IT.
SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHERE IN
THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE TO BLAME.
ASHLEY: YOU NEVER ANSWERED THE
QUESTION.
VERY QUICKLY --
>> HE ACTUALLY DID ANSWER IT,
ASHLEY.
HE ACTUALLY DID, BECAUSE THE
DEMOCRATS DON'T WANT THIS TO
HAPPEN.
I'M TELLING YOU WHAT, BIGGEST
FEAR FOR THE DEMOCRATS IS THIS
BILL PASSING.
PRESIDENT TRUMP, I MEAN
PRESIDENT TRUMP, HE IS A
DEAL-MAKER.
HE LIKES TO DO THINGS NOBODY HAS
DONE BEFORE.
NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO DEAL
WITH IMMIGRATION FOR 30 YEARS.
THE DEMOCRATS HAD EIGHT YEARS TO
DO THIS, TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE ON
DACA.
IF PRESIDENT TRUMP DOES THIS,
THE DEMOCRATS WILL BE
CHECKMATED.
IT WILL TAKE IMMIGRATION OFF THE
TABLE AND REPUBLICANS WILL BE
ABLE TO TALK TO HISPANICS ABOUT
TAXES AND ECONOMY AND JOBS AND
FAMILY VALUES AND EVERYTHING
THEY'RE ALIGNED WITH.
THIS IS NIGHTMARE FOR THE
DEMOCRATS WHICH IS WHY YOUR
GUEST WAS SO QUICK TO JUMP AND
SAY, SEE THE DEAL IS NOT DEAD.
THE DEAL IS NOT DEAD.
THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN
HE SAID A MODERATE BILL.
THE BILL IN THE COMPROMISE MEETS
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE
PRESIDENT'S PRIORITIES, WHEN HE
FIGURES IT OUT AND HIS PEOPLE
INCLUDING STEPHEN MILLER HE WILL
BACK THIS BILL AND --
ASHLEY: JOHN, JUMP IN VERY
QUICKLY.
>> HE HAD A FEW HOURS TO FIGURE
IT OUT.
>> LET'S MOVE ON FROM THERE.
>> CHECK OUT HIS LAST TWEET.
HE IS ON BOARD.
ASHLEY: JOHN, VERY QUICKLY DOES
IT NOT SERVE YOUR PURPOSE TO GET
THE DACA ISSUE RESOLVED?
IF IT DOES GET RESOLVED DOES
THAT HURT YOU BECAUSE IT HAS
BEEN RESOLVED AND YOU CAN'T RELY
ON VOTES IF PRESIDENT TRUMP GETS
CREDIT FOR IT?
NO LISTEN, EVERYONE IN AMERICA
WANTS TO PASS IMMIGRATION REFORM
TOUGH ON PEOPLE WHO BREAK THE
LAW AND FAIR TO TAXPAYERS AND
EASY TO IMPLEMENT.
IF PUB OPINIONS CAN BRING THAT
TO THE TABLE LET'S DO IT.
MITCH McCONNELL SAID HE WASN'T
GOING TO DO IT.
NICE YOU CAN TRY TO BLAME
DEMOCRATS FOR WHAT HAPPENED 2018
YEARS AGO WHATEVER, BUT REALITY
IT IS REPUBLICANS CONTROL THE
WHITE HOUSE.
THE SENATE AND HOUSE.
>> IF IT GETS OUT OF THE
HOUSE --
>> GET IT TO THE SENATE TO SEE
WHAT MODERATES DO.
SEE WHAT PEOPLE LIKE DEAN HELLER
DO.
ASHLEY: WASN'T THIS FUN?
LEAVE IT THERE, FOLKS.
>> A LOT OF PRESSURE ON
REPUBLICAN MODERATES AS WELL.
ASHLEY: WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF
TIME.
