And the other thing that was hilarious about this is I saw that the press, whatever you call it, talking to Pelosi and Schumer afterwards. And then Schumer were arguing these technical budget things. You know, it sounded like, well we've offered a CR like last year but the continuing resolutions, the process. And I'm just listening to it going, I really don't know what you're saying. We don't care about these budget details. And then the president says we need a wall. It's like watching him club baby harp seals. It's just not a fair fight. Wall, good. Communicating, good. Persuasion, it's visual. Everybody knows what a wall is.

Chuck Schumer: Well we promised last time and why isn't this as good as last time when last time we did a CR and you all know what a CR is but sometimes you do these in packages and we had agreed last year so why isn't the stuff we agreed with last year all versus we did a wall? This is not a fair fight.

So let's negotiate this wall thing in public. And if the president doesn't want to do it with Nancy and Chuck, how about proxies? I would love to see somebody else who actually knows what they're talking about negotiate in public. How about just a Republican who knows what they're talking about and a Democrat who knows what they're talking about. Let's have them debate it.

Now the worst way to do that would be to put them on a two-minute segment on one of the news shows. They yell at each other, they interrupt, and then time runs out. I want a good hour show, could be on C-SPAN or something, in which somebody who actually knows what they're talking about, maybe they've got some backups with them, you know, somebody who can do some fact-checking in real time. And you've got a moderator and you say, all right, should we have a wall everywhere? What do you two say about that? And do you agree some walls are good in some places? Do you both agree with that?

In fact I'll do it. How about I do it? I will moderate the wall budget questions. I'm actually qualified for this. My corporate jobs for years, it was exactly this. It was negotiating budgets. So it was my job to talk to the department heads and negotiate how much their budget was and make it all work under the larger budget. So I could do that. I'll moderate.
