BORDER. AND WE LOOK AT HOW AOC IS
TROLLING THE GOP.
BUT WE START WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S PR OFFENSIVE ON HIS
BROKEN WALL PROMISE.
TRUMP SCRAMBLING WITH DEMOCRATS,
STANDING TOUGH, AND MORE SIGNS
REPUBLICANS ARE CRACKING ON DAY
17 OF THE TRUMP SHUTDOWN.
TRUMP ANNOUNCING TODAY HE WILL
ADDRESS THE NATION FROM THE OVAL
OFFICE FOR THE FIRST TIME
TOMORROW, AND HE WILL VISIT THE
BORDER ON THURSDAY, SAYING IT IS
A HUMANITARIAN AND NATIONAL
SECURITY CRISIS.
SECURITY CRISIS. THIS IS A CRISIS FOR TRUMP’S
WALL TALKING POINTS, AND THE
RUSH LIMBAUGH BASE HE WAS SCARED
BY.
BY. HERE ARE THE FAX.
A HOMELAND SECURITY CHART
SHOWING THE NUMBER OF
APPREHENSIONS OF UNDOCUMENTED
IMMIGRANTS AT THE SOUTHERN
BORDER.
BORDER. YOU CAN SEE A MASSIVE DECLINE
OVER 18 YEARS WHEN 11% JUMP
BETWEEN 2017 AND LAST YEAR.
IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, WE’VE
SEEN SOME OF THE LOWEST NUMBERS
IN HISTORY.
IN HISTORY. NOW TRUMP IS SHIFTING HIS
POSTURE ON THE WALL.
WATCH THIS.
WATCH THIS. >> WE HAVE TO BUILD A WALL.
GOING TO BUILD A WALL.
WE’RE GOING TO BUILD A BIG,
BEAUTIFUL WALL.
BEAUTIFUL WALL. >> STEEL SLATS.
WE DON’T USE THE WALL
NECESSARILY.
NECESSARILY. >> GREAT BORDER SECURITY WITH A
WALL OR A SLAT FENCE OR WHATEVER
YOU WANT TO CALL IT.
>> I INFORMED MY FOLKS TO SAY
THAT WE’LL BUILD A STEEL
BARRIER, STEEL.
BARRIER, STEEL. IT WILL BE MADE OUT OF STEEL.
>> WHAT IS IT?
THAT’S THE QUESTION.
DEMOCRATS WERE UPPING THE
PRESSURE, PLANNING TO BLOCK ALL
BILLS UNTIL MITCH McCONNELL ENDS
THE SHUTDOWN.
THE SHUTDOWN. WITH ME NOW IS MARK THOMPSON,
RADIO HOST OF SIRIUSXM’S MAKE IT
PLAIN SHOW AND NICK COMPESOORI.
I FEEL IT’S LITERALLY A REALITY
SHOW FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO
VISITING THE BORDER TO THE
ADDRESS FROM THE OVAL OFFICE
THAT WE’RE GOING TO HEAR
TOMORROW NIGHT.
TOMORROW NIGHT. THE ISSUE IS THIS IS A REALITY
SHOW WHERE LIVES ARE AT STAKE,
AND AS OF FRIDAY, PEOPLE AREN’T
GOING TO GET PAID ANYMORE.
IF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WAS
ACTUALLY A PR COMPANY, THEY
WOULD BE DOING QUITE WELL RIGHT
NOW.
NOW. BUT IN FACT THEY’RE RUNNING A
COUNTRY, AND WE ARE NEARING THE
LONGEST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN
HISTORY IF THIS CONTINUES ON
OVER THE WEEKEND.
>> WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE IS THE
CRISIS THAT IS BEING CREATED
OVER THE SHUTDOWN IS GOING TO
FAR OUTWEIGH THE CRISIS AT THE
BORDER.
BORDER. NOT A SECURITY CRISIS, BUT A
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS. THE GOVERNMENT’S OWN STATISTICS
SHOW THAT TERRORISTS ARE COMING
IN THROUGH AIRPORTS, NOT THROUGH
THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
AND YET WE’RE GOING TO HAVE
WORSE SECURITY AT AIRPORTS
BECAUSE DHS WORKERS ARE WALKING
OUT BECAUSE THEY AREN’T GETTING
PAID.
PAID. WE ARE NOW RIGHT NOW CAPTIVE TO
THE PRESIDENT’S IDEA OF HIMSELF.
IF THE PRESIDENT WENT OUT
TOMORROW AND SAID LOOK, I JUST
WANT SOME BORDER SECURITY MONEY,
LET’S FIGURE OUT THE DETAILS,
HE’D HAVE A DEAL IN AN HOUR.
BUT HE WANTS TO SAY HE BUILT A
WALL, AND DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO
LET HIM SAY HE BUILT A WALL,
EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE KIND OF
SUPPORTS HAVING SOME KIND OF A
BARRIER AND SOME KIND OF
SECURITY.
SECURITY. >> MARK, WHO IS THE PRESIDENT
TRYING TO ADDRESS IN THIS OVAL
OFFICE ADDRESS THAT’S COMING
TOMORROW NIGHT?
TOMORROW NIGHT? WHO DOES HE WANT TO HEAR HIS
APPEAL TOMORROW EVENING?
>> THE VERY STILL GULLIBLE BASE
THAT HE INTENDS TO DISTRACT FROM
THE STORY YOU TEASED OUT
EARLIER, WHAT’S GOING ON WITH
MUELLER AND THE WHOLE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE.
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE. HE MADE A FOOL OUT OF HIMSELF.
HE PROMISED A WALL, MEXICO WOULD
BUILD A WALL.
NOW WE’RE DOWN TO STEEL SLATS,
MEAT OF STEEL.
AND HE DOESN’T HAVE IT.
SO HE’S EVEN SAYING TO THIS
BASE, WE’VE HEARD HIM SAY THAT
PART OF THE WALL IS ALREADY
DONE.
DONE. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HE’S TALKING
ABOUT.
ABOUT. SARAH SANDERS IS GOING ON
TELEVISION, QUOTING THE LONG
FELLOW POEM ABOUT PAUL REVERE.
THE IMMIGRANTS ARE COMING, ONE
IF BY LAND AND TWO IF BY SEA.
WHAT HE MAY DO TOMORROW NIGHT WE
MAY SEE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE
INTERSECTION BETWEEN THE WILLIE
HORTON STRATEGY AND THE WMD
TRAGEDY, BECAUSE COMING AFTER
IMMIGRANTS THE WAY HE DOES IS
NOTHING BUT RACIAL
FEARMONGERING.
FEARMONGERING. AND JUST LIKE WMD, CREATING THIS
NATIONAL EMERGENCY WHERE THERE
ISN’T ONE.
ISN’T ONE. THERE IS NO CRISIS.
THAT’S WHAT WE.
>> HAVE IT’S GOOD THAT YOU BRING
THIS UP, SORT OF THIS NATIONAL
EMERGENCY THAT THERE ISN’T ONE,
BECAUSE OFTENTIMES WHEN YOU HEAR
ABOUT A PRESIDENT GIVING AN OVAL
OFFICE ADDRESS, IT’S BECAUSE OF
A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, RIGHT?
YOU THINK OF GEORGE W. BUSH WHEN
HE GAVE SOME OF HIS OVAL OFFICE
ADDRESSES.
ADDRESSES. ONE OF THOSE WAS AFTER THE
SEPTEMBER 11th TERROR ATTACK
WHERE HE GAVE AN OVAL OFFICE
ADDRESS.
ADDRESS. I THINK MANY OF US REMEMBER THAT
OVAL OFFICE ADDRESS.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AFTER THE
BRITISH PETROLEUM OIL SPILL.
THE PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO
CREATE AN EMERGENCY HERE WHEN
THERE ISN’T NECESSARILY AN
EMERGENCY.
EMERGENCY. AND WE’RE GOING TO HAVE JULIA
AINSLEY ON LATER ON IN THE SHOW
TO TALK ABOUT THE NUMBERS OF THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY
CROSSING THE BORDER AND WHO IS
ACTUALLY BEING APPREHENDED AT
THE BORDER.
THE BORDER. WHEN YOU HAVE SARAH HUCKABEE
SANDERS GOING ON FOX NEWS SAYING
WE ARE ACTUALLY APPREHENDING
TERRORISTS AT THE BORDER, THAT’S
NOT THE CASE.
IT’S NOT THE BORDER, AS YOU
SAID.
SAID. IT’S AT THE AIRPORT.
>> THIS IS A BET FIRST OF ALL TO
TRY TO CLAIM SOME OF THE
GRAVITAS OF THE OVAL OFFICE IN
THIS SETTING.
THIS SETTING. YOU SAW HIS PRESS CONFERENCE
THIS WEEK.
THIS WEEK. I WAS A DISASTER.
IT WAS A WORD SALAD.
WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IS PUT HIM
ON A CAMERA IN THE OVAL OFFICE
WITH SOME PREPARED REMARKS TO
GET ON MESSAGE AND GET BACK ON
THEIR MESSAGE WHICH IS THERE IS
A CRISIS HERE.
YOU KNOW, IT’S AN IMPORTANT
EMERGENCY.
EMERGENCY. THERE ARE PEOPLE COMING THROUGH
THE BORDER.
THE BORDER. WATCH OUT, BE AFRAID.
THAT’S THEIR MESSAGE.
BUT THE ISSUE THEY HAVE HERE IS
THAT THE CRISIS HERE IS ONE
THEY’VE CREATED.
THEY’VE CREATED. THE PERSON WHO WANTS THE WALL
THE MOST IS THE PRESIDENT.
HE IS SAYING I’M NOT GOING TO
MOVE ON YOUR GOVERNMENT UNTIL I
GET MY WALL.
THAT’S A LOSING PROPOSITION FOR
HIS PARTY IN THE LONG-TERM.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK, MARK, THE
PRESIDENT IS GAINING BY PUTTING
SO MUCH ATTENTION AT THE BORDER
AND ON THIS IMMIGRATION CRISIS
THAT HE IS SAYING IT IS, THIS
IMMIGRATION CRISIS?
IMMIGRATION CRISIS? AND NOT -- AND TAKING AWAY FROM
WHAT’S HAPPENING WITHIN THE
GOVERNMENT RIGHT NOW?
>> I DON’T THINK HE’S GAINING
ANYTHING, BECAUSE HISTORY HAS
SHOWN, YOU KNOW, SHUTDOWNS HAVE
NEVER WORKED OUT FOR THOSE WHO
PERPETRATED THEM.
PERPETRATED THEM. I MEAN, GINGRICH GOT WRITTEN OUT
OF TOWN IN THE SHUTDOWNS OF THE
’90s.
’90s. I THINK HE IS FOOLING HIMSELF.
LOOK BACK AT THE CARAVAN.
THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN
AN EMERGENCY, AND EVERYBODY WAS
COMING ON THIS CARAVAN.
THAT WENT AWAY, AND IT
DEFINITELY DIDN’T HELP IN THE
MIDTERMS.
MIDTERMS. >> BUT HE WANTS TO MAKE IT SEEM
LIKE HE IS GIVING IN BY SAYING
STEEL SLATS.
STEEL SLATS. LOOK, I’M GIVING TO IT THE
DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY DON’T
NECESSARILY WANT -- THEY DON’T
WANT A CONCRETE WALL.
THEY JUST WANT STEEL SLAT.
IT SEEMS LIKE THEY LIKE STEEL
BETTER, AS HE SAID ON THE SOUTH
LAWN YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
>> BUT THAT WON’T WORK AS LONG
AS THE GOVERNMENT IS SHUT DOWN.
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICAN PEOPLE
BLAME HIM FOR THE SHUTDOWN.
HE IS THE ONE ACTING LIKE A
SPOILED CHILD.
SPOILED CHILD. HE CAN GO TO SLATS, FENCE,
WHATEVER HE WANTS TO CALL IT.
>> I THINK THE PRESIDENT AND HIS
TEAM ARE TRYING TO BACK INTO A
WIN, BECAUSE GUESS WHAT?
THERE ARE ALREADY STEEL SLATS ON
THE BORDER.
THE BORDER. THERE IS ALREADY A FENCE ON
PARTS OF THE BORDER AND A WALL
ON PARTS OF THE BORDER, AND
SURVEILLANCE ON PARTS OF THE
BORDER.
BORDER. THE BORDER IS PROTECTED.
AND THE BIG THING PROPOUNDED IS
NOT TRUE, THAT THERE IS SOME
KIND OF OPEN BORDER ON THE SOUTH
THERE.
THERE. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THERE IS
SOME KIND OF REFURBISHMENT OF
THE STEEL SLATS IN SOME PLACES.
YOU CAN CLAIM THAT’S ALREADY
HAPPENING.
HAPPENING. BUT I THINK HE IS TRYING TO GET
HIMSELF TO SOMETHING THAT’S
ALREADY THERE SO HE CAN CALL IT
A WALL AND WALK AWAY AND SAY I
WON.
WON. >> I WANT TO BRING IN DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESSWOMAN ELEANOR HOLMES
NORTON OF D.C.
CONGRESSWOMAN, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS
EVENING.
EVENING. VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.
I FIRST WANT TO GET YOUR
REACTION TO THE PRESIDENT’S
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HE IS GOING TO
BE GIVING AN ADDRESS FROM THE
OVAL OFFICE TOMORROW EVENING AT
9:00 P.M.
9:00 P.M. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM
THE PRESIDENT TOMORROW NIGHT?
>> WELL, FIRST, LET ME INDICATE
WHAT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS
ADDRESS IS.
ADDRESS IS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE POLLS, THE
PRESIDENT IS LOSING.
HE IS GOING TO GIVE THE ADDRESS
BECAUSE HE’S TRYING TO GET THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE
NOT NOW.
NOT NOW. ONE WAY TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS TO
SEE THE WALL CRUMBLING AROUND
HIM.
HIM. FOR EXAMPLE, MAYBE NOT ENOUGH
PEOPLE CARE ABOUT SECTION 8
HOUSING WHERE PEOPLE GET A THIRD
OF THEIR HOUSING FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, OR EVEN FOOD
STAMPS, BUT THE PRESIDENT HAS
ALREADY CAVED ON IRS FUNDING.
AND GUESS WHAT?
HE CAN’T.
HE CAN’T. YOU CAN’T PICK AND CHOOSE.
WE’LL GIVE YOU BACK YOUR IRS
FUNDING, BUT WE WON’T DO YOUR
HOUSING FUNDING.
HOUSING FUNDING. THAT’S WHAT HE’S TRYING TO DO
NOW.
NOW. THAT MONEY WOULD HAVE TO COME
OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND.
THE WALL WITH IRS FUNDING MAY BE
THE BIGGEST CRACK YET IN THE
WALL.
WALL. WE’VE GOT TO STOP TALKING ABOUT
THE WALL AS IF THAT IS SOME KIND
OF A METAPHOR.
LET’S LOOK AT WHAT IN FACT WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT.
TALKING ABOUT. THE SIDES ARE NOWHERE NEAR FAR
APART.
APART. WHEN I TAUGHT AS A TENURED
PROFESSOR OF LAW, IF I ASKED
SOME FIRST YEAR LAW STUDENTS,
THEY WOULD SEE ALL OF THE
ELEMENTS ON THE TABLE FOR A
COMPROMISE.
COMPROMISE. THE DEMOCRATS AND THE
REPUBLICANS AREN’T FAR AWAY AT
ALL, AND THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF
HAS STOPPED USING THE WORD
"WALL" AND HE IS SAYING
ESSENTIALLY CALL IT WHAT YOU
MAY.
MAY. WITH THE IRS FUNDING, I THINK
WE’RE GOING TO BEGIN TO SEE THE
PRESIDENT DO WHAT HE IS DOING
TONIGHT, AND THAT IS TO TRY TO
SHORE UP EVEN HIS OWN BASE AND
CERTAINLY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WHO HAVE LONG LEFT HIM ON THE
QUESTION OF THE WALL.
>> CONGRESSWOMAN, THE PRESIDENT
SAID THAT HE CAN UNDERSTAND THE
PLIGHT OF FEDERAL WORKERS THAT
AREN’T GOING TO BE RECEIVING
PAYCHECKS COME JANUARY 11th,
THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING
PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK, SOME WHO
ARE GETTING $500 EVERY TIME THEY
SEE THAT PAYCHECK.
AND NOW THEY DON’T NECESSARILY
KNOW HOW THEY’RE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO PAY THEIR RENT OR KEEP
THEIR LIGHTS ON, AND THEY’RE
GOING TO HAVE TO CHOOSE WHICH TO
DO.
DO. DO YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT
UNDERSTANDS THE PLIGHT OF THESE
FEDERAL WORKERS THAT ARE NOT
GOING TO BE GETTING PAID BECAUSE
OF THIS GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN SO
FAR AS IT GOES ON?
>> WELL, THESE FEDERAL WORKERS
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVE A GOOD
NUMBER OF THEM IN MY OWN CITY
AND IN THIS REGION.
HE DOESN’T CARIBBEANS ABOUT
THEM.
THEM. HE DOESN’T EACH TALK ABOUT THEM
VERY MUCH BECAUSE HE RECOGNIZES
THAT THAT IS HE CALLS THEM
DEMOCRATS.
DEMOCRATS. THAT’S A SMALL NUMBER OF THEM.
THAT’S WHY I’M LOOKING NOW TO
THE SPREADING OF THE ECONOMY, TO
THE SPREADING OF THE SECTORS,
BECAUSE THE FEDERAL WORKERS
WON’T DO IT AND HAVEN’T DONE IT
AND COULDN’T POSSIBLY DO IT BY
THEMSELVES.
THEMSELVES. BUT AS YOU SEE THIS BEGIN TO
HAVE ITS EFFECT ON THE ECONOMY
ITSELF, AND THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE
BEGINNING TO SEE, THE PRESIDENT
IS GOING TO BE FORCED.
AND I AGREE WITH MY OTHER
COLLEAGUES TO USE WHAT IS
ALREADY UP THERE TO SAY LOOK, I
WON.
WON. WE’RE BACK TO NORMAL.
>> WE KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT
HAS -- HOW DO I SAY THIS?
NOT NECESSARILY TOLD THE TRUTH
WHEN IT COMES TO THE BORDER WALL
AND WHEN IT COMES TO
IMMIGRATION.
IMMIGRATION. HE HAS PUT A LOT OF NUMBERS OUT
THERE THAT HAVE BEEN DISPROVEN,
TO SAY THE LEAST.
I WANT TO PLAY SOME OF THAT AND
THEN WE’LL TALK.
>> WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS MEDICAL
PROBLEM COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE. TREMENDOUS PROBLEMS.
TREMENDOUS PROBLEMS. PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT
IT.
IT. >> REMEMBER DRUGS.
THE DRUGS ARE POURING INTO THIS
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. THEY DON’T GO THROUGH THE PORTS
OF INDUSTRY.
OF INDUSTRY. >> WRONG AFTER WRONG AFTER
WRONG.
WRONG. IT IS ASTOUNDING THE FACT THAT
THE PRESIDENT PUTS THESE NUMBERS
OUT THERE AND SAYS THESE TYPES
OF THINGS THAT CAN THEN BE FACT
CHECKED PUBLICLY.
CHECKED PUBLICLY. MARK, I’LL GO WITH YOU ON THIS
ONE.
ONE. WHY DOES THE PRESIDENT
CONSISTENTLY DO THIS SORT OF
THING?
THING? >> WELL, BECAUSE, FRANKLY, HE
HAS HIS OWN TELEVISION NETWORK
THAT ENABLES IT, AND A
PARTICULAR HOST ON THERE THAT
ENABLES IT.
ENABLES IT. I THINK THAT HELPS HIM DO IT.
AND HIS BASE IS WILLING TO BE
GULLIBLE IN THAT REGARD.
YOU KNOW, WE LOOK AT WHAT’S
HAPPENING WITH THE FARMERS.
I THINK THEY’RE EVEN AFFECTED BY
IT.
IT. THEY’RE ALREADY AFFECTED BY THE
TARIFFS, YET THIS IS SOME PEOPLE
WHO STILL SUPPORT HIM, EVEN
THROUGH THE SHUTDOWN.
IT’S, AGAIN, PEOPLE ACTING
AGAINST THEIR OWN INTERESTS.
>> NICK, THE FACT IS A CASE CAN
BE MADE FOR THE SITUATION AT THE
BORDER.
BORDER. A CASE CAN BE MADE FOR CHANGES
THAT NEED TO BE MADE TO
IMMIGRATION IN THIS COUNTRY
WITHOUT CREATING FALSEHOODS.
AND IT SEEMS THAT THE PRESIDENT
DOESN’T NECESSARILY UNDERSTAND
THAT.
THAT. THAT THE CASES CAN BE MADE
WITHOUT SAYING THE THINGS HE
GOES ON TO SAY.
>> HE ISN’T MAKING IT.
LOOK, I THINK A LOT OF AMERICANS
SUPPORT IMMIGRATION AS PART OF
OUR TRADITION.
OUR TRADITION. PEOPLE DON’T LIKE BROKEN
IMMIGRATION, AND PEOPLE DON’T
LIKE KIND OF CROSSING THE BORDER
ILLEGALLY.
ILLEGALLY. THERE ARE SOLUTIONS TO THE
PROBLEM.
PROBLEM. BUT THE PROBLEM IS GETTING
BETTER.
BETTER. THE PROBLEM FOR HIM AS A
POLITICIAN IS HIS ENTIRE CAREER
IS BASED ON THE ARGUMENT THAT
IT’S GETTING WORSE.
SO YOU CAN’T CAMPAIGN ON
IMMIGRATION AS A NATIONAL
SECURITY CRISIS IF THE FACTS ARE
ACTUALLY, IT’S PRETTY MUCH UNDER
CONTROL.
CONTROL. THERE IS A PROBLEM WE’VE GOT TO
DEAL WITH HERE, AND THE DREAMERS
ARE HERE, AND THAT HAS TO BE
SETTLED.
SETTLED. IF YOUR ARGUMENT IS IT’S
ACTUALLY A TERRIBLE PROBLEM,
WHAT DO YOU DO?
YOU AMP UP THE RHETORIC THAT
THERE ARE VECTORS OF DISEASE AND
CRIME AND DRUG SMUGGLING.
YOU CAN GO BACK TO HIS VERY
FIRST SPEECH AS A CANDIDATE IN
TRUMP TOWER AND FIND HIM HITTING
ALL OF THOSE NOTES.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. CONGRESSWOMAN, LAST TO YOU ON
THIS.
THIS. DO YOU THINK IT’S SMART THE
DEMOCRATS HOLD OUT TO THE VERY
END, UNTIL THE PRESIDENT BENDS
ON THIS?
ON THIS? >> DEMOCRATS HAVE LOOKED AT THE
POLLS.
POLLS. THEY ALSO SEE HOW VULNERABLE THE
PRESIDENT IS ON IT, AND THEY SEE
HIM NOW TRYING TO GET HIS ACT
TOGETHER BY GOING ON NATIONAL
TELEVISION.
TELEVISION. IT DOES SEEM TO ME THAT THE
FACE-SAVING IS GOING TO COME
AFTER THAT.
AFTER THAT. WE SEE THE FACE-SAVING BEGINNING
ALREADY WITH THE -- AGAIN, I
REPEAT, ONCE PEOPLE DON’T GET
THE IRS CHECKS, REMEMBER, THE
GOVERNMENT IS HOLDING YOUR
MONEY.
MONEY. ALMOST EVERYBODY HAS PUT IN MORE
MONEY IN ORDER TO GET IT BACK.
ONCE YOU SEE THAT BEGIN TO
HAPPEN, THAT COVERS THE ENTIRE,
VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE POPULATION.
YOU’RE GOING TO BEGIN TO SEE THE
EFFECTS ON THE ECONOMY WELL
BEYOND TALKING ABOUT THE WALL
AND THE REST.
AND THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO
BRING THIS DOWN, NOT THE WALL,
NOT EVEN A COMPROMISE.
THE COMPROMISE IS ALREADY THERE
FOR ANY FOOL TO PICK UP AND DO.
>> ALL RIGHT, MARK THOMPSON,
