WERE FORMER WHITE HOUSE
POLITICAL DIRECTOR, FOX BUSINESS
CONTRIBUTOR PEPPER ED, GREAT TO
SEE YOU.
ED: THANK YOU.
LOU: THIS IS A PECULIAR DAY.
THE PRESIDENT WITH LINDSEY
WERE CRYING OUT LOUD.
ALL PART OF THE GANG -- NOT ALL
OF THEM.
MENENDEZ AND DURBIN PART OF THE
ED: HARD FOR ME TO SAY BECAUSE
THE MOST SACRED VOW THE
PRESIDENT MADE WAS I'M GOING TO
BUILD A WALL AND IF I DO
IMMIGRATION IT'S GOING TO BE
PROPERLY DONE IN A WAY THAT
GUARANTEES IT TO WORK.
THIS TODAY WAS A PERFORMANCE, I
HOPE.
AND CERTAINLY THE DETAILS
WEREN'T THERE.
BUT THE IMPRESSION HE GAVE IS
THAT HE'S GOING TO DO A DEAL
WITH THE DEMOCRATS.
AND IF HE DOES THAT, HE'LL
BASICALLY LOSE HIS BASE AND IT
WON'T WORK.
WORKING IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
AROUND IT IS WHEN THEY'RE HAPPY
CERTAINLY NOT DO THE ADVANTAGE
OF THIS PRESIDENT.
AND THE FACT THAT DEMOCRATS ON
BOTH SIDES OF HIM AND HE'S
A BILL OF LOVE IS NOT SOMETHING
WE NEED IN IMMIGRATION.
IMMIGRATION IS A MATTER OF
TOUGHNESS, MAKING SURE THAT THE
COUNTRY'S BORDERS ARE PROTECTED.
HE'S TALKED ABOUT THAT EVERY
SINGLE TRIP HE'S MADE.
LOU: HE CAMPAIGNED AGAINST
AMNESTY, HE CAMPAIGNED FOR THE
WALL, HE CAMPAIGNED AGAINST THE
STATUS QUO AND HEREBY'S THE
TO CONGRATULATE THE PRESIDENT.
THESE TWO PEOPLE WHO WERE
RUNNING AGAINST HIM --
ED: AND LOST.
MATRIX TOGETHER THAT MAKES ANY
SENSE OF THEIR SUDDEN
PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC LIFE.
ED: YOU CAN'T OPEN THE BORDERS.
YOU CAN'T BASICALLY SAY THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE WITHOUT ANY
OTHER STEPS BEING TAKEN GET TO
STAY HERE.
YOU GET TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO
MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T PREPETE
ITSELF, THE MISTAKE OF THE '86
BILL, WE LET 2.5 MILLION PEOPLE
COME IN.
LOU: THE LESSON IS SIMPLE.
ED: VERY SIMPLE.
LOU: BUILD THE WALL AND THEN
BEGIN TO TAKE UP IMMIGRATION
REFORM.
FOR A DECADE AND A HALF I HAVE
SAID THIS, STRAIGHTFORWARD.
YOU CANNOT MEANING FULLY REFORM
IMMIGRATION LAW AT ANY TIME IF
YOU CAN'T CONTROL IMMIGRATION.
HEAN YOU CAN'T CONTROL
IMMIGRATION UNLESS YOU HAVE THE
WALL.
THE BORDERS AND PORTS OF ENTRY
PROTECTED.
IT'S THAT STRAIGHTFORWARD.
AND DID YOU HEAR SWEET SENATOR
BORDER SECURITY LATER,
MR. PRESIDENT.
I MEAN GOOD LORD ALL MIGHTY.
ED: PRESIDENT OBAMA WANTED
IMMIGRATION REFORM, COULDN'T GET
IT DONE.
GEORGE W. BUSH HAS MAJORITIES IN
BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE,
COULDN'T GET IT DONE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOT GOING TO
GET IT DONE UNLESS HE STANDS BY
HIS PINS.
S AND HIS PRINCIPLES ARE THE
SECURITY SIDE.
YOU HAVE THE
DEBATE.
LOU: I ENJOYED WATCHING THE
MAESTRO AS HE CONDUCTED THAT
ORCHESTRA OF 22 LAWMAKERS.
THEY WERE JUST SITTING THERE
HANG PG
HANGING ON HIS EVER WORD WAITING
FOR THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO BE FED
WHATEVER THEIR FAVORITE DELICACY
THE PRESIDENT HANDLED THEM, WHAT
I'M AFRAID OF IS THAT LINDSEY
GRAHAM AND A FEW OVERS WILL BE
