I LOVE OTTO AND THINK OF HIM
OFTEN.
LIZ: LET'S START WITH THE
REPUBLICANS.
REPUBLICAN SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS
JOINING THE DEMOCRAT SENATOR TO
INTRODUCE A NEW BILL TO BLOCK
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S BORDER WALL
FUNDING.
LET'S BRING IN REPUBLICAN
REPRESENTATIVE DEBBIE LERKS SKO.
YOU SERVE ON THE HOMELAND
SECURITY AND JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE.
WHAT'S YOUR REACTION TO THE
PUSHBACK BY REPUBLICANS?
>> I TOTALLY SUPPORT PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
I LIVE IN A BORDER STATE,
ARIZONA.
AND I HAVE BEEN DOWN TO THE
BORDER.
THERE ALWAYS CRISIS AT OUR
BORDER.
I HAVE SPOKEN TO BORDER PATROL
AGENTS, THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND
AND OFFICIALS.
THEY SAID THERE IS A CRISIS AT
THE BORDER.
AND THEY SAID A FENCE IS NEEDED
AS PART OF THE SOLUTION.
SO, YOU KNOW, THERE MAY BE SOME
REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE
PUSHING BACK AT THE PRESIDENT.
I CERTAINLY AM NOT.
I'M TOTALLY SUPPORTIVE.
I KNOW THERE IS A NATIONAL
EMERGENCY.
AND THE PRESIDENT'S NUMBER ONE
RESPONSIBILITY TO US CITIZENS IS
TO PROTECT US, AND THAT'S
EXACTLY WHAT HE'S DOING.
LIZ: REPUBLICAN LISA MURKOWSKI
AND LAMAR ALEXANDER ARE PUSHING
BACK SAYING THIS IS TAKING MONEY
AWAY FROM THE PENTAGON'S NEEDS.
THEY ARE PRIORITIZING CONGRESS'S
POWER OF THE PURSE.
>> EVERYBODY CAN HAVE DIFFERENT
POSITIONS.
I WANT TO PROTECT MILITARY
FUNDING.
I WANT TO DO ENERGY MY POWER TO
MAKE SURE WE KEEP THAT FUNDING
THERE.
LIMITS SAY THE PRESIDENT GETS
DOWN TO THE MILITARY
CONSTRUCTION FUNDING FROM THE
OTHER BUCKETS HE CAN CHOOSE FROM
FIRST.
WE CAN ALWAYS GIVE MORE MONEY,
THE CONGRESS CAN GIVE MORE MONEY
TO THESE MILITARY PROJECTS AND
THAT'S CERTAINLY WHAT I WOULD
SUPPORT.
LIZ: LET'S GET TO REPUBLICAN
SENATOR TED CRUZ SLAMMING
REPUBLICANS ON THE BORDER WALL.
>> THERE IS A TECHNICAL
DESCRIPTION FOR WMS GOING ON.
DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE BAT CRAP
CRAZY.
LIZ: DO YOU AGREE WITH SENATOR
CRUZ?
>> I THINK THEY HAVE GONE
OVERBOARD.
AND I THINK IT WILL HELP
REPUBLICANS.
THEY ARE ADVOCATING FOR ILLEGAL
ALIENS OVER U.S. CITIZENS.
IT'S BECOMING CLEARER AND CLEAR
TORE ME.
NOT ONLY HAVE THEY BLOCKED THE
BORDER FENCING.
BUT WE HAD GOOD LEGISLATION LAST
YEAR ON IMMIGRATION REFORMS THAT
WOULD HAVE SOLVED A LOT OF THESE
PROBLEMS.
AND NOT ONE SINGLE DEMOCRAT IN
THE U.S. HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES VOTED FOR IT.
>> THAT'S INTERESTING YOU BRING
THAT UP.
DEMOCRATS ARE SET TO REINTRODUCE
THE DREAM ACT ON MARCH 12.
IT'S MYSTIFYING WHY DEMOCRATS
DIDN'T BRING UP DACA DURING THE
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.
>> I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THEM.
THE ONLY THING I CAN CONCLUDE IS
THE DEMOCRATS CARE MORE ABOUT
ILLEGAL ALIENS THAN U.S.
CITIZENS.
LIZ: THAT'S YOUR OPINION, I HEAR
WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
>> WITH THE CRAZY BILL ON
ELECTION REFORM WHERE THEY WOULD
AUTOMATICALLY REGISTER EVERYONE
TO VOTE, INCLUDING ILLEGALS.
I THINK THEY ARE OVERREACHING,
BRINGING INTO SOCIALISM AGAINST
BORDER SECURITY, AGAINST I.C.E.
GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED MEDICARE,
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL.
THEY ARE GOING OVERBOARD.
AND I THINK IT AMERICAN PEOPLE
