ng six months in prison because he defied subpoena over the January 6 thing. His claim was that he was covered under executive privilege and immunity but that claim is sketchy according to the courts. But let's add Peter Navarro to the pardon list because we see more and more examples of Republicans being hunted and we don't believe that this would have happened to a Democrat necessarily. And this…

But if you want the same things such as I think I would like the Jewish state to exist. Well what do you think? I think I would like it to completely disappear. That's not something you can negotiate. There's no middle ground between existing and not existing. Not really. Likewise there is no logical way you can make a deal on budget and border because both sides need both things, right? The Republicans need the border to be fixed but the Democrats need just as hard for it not to be fixed. There's no way to make a deal. They want the same limited resource that can only be one way or the other and there's nothing in between.
Same with the budget. The Republicans want what they want on the budget. The Democrats want what they want on the budget and it's not the same. So you can't have the budget being what the Democrats want without it being not what the Republicans want. So you see the point yet? I hope I'm being clear. You can't negotiate by saying that these two things are your two negotiating variables because there's nothing to work with. So the reason it's not solved is that it's unsolvable. It can't be solved under that setup.
Now who do you think would know that that can't work? Trump. Because Trump knows how to make a deal. He literally knows what the real world looks like and how to make a real business deal and he would know as 100% of all dealmakers know you can't make a deal if there's absolutes involved that can't be violated. And the Democrats are never going to be happy with a closed border. The Republicans will never be happy with an open one. There's not really something in between that anybody's even serious about. You know such as better vetting something like that. There's nothing practical even being talked about.
So no not only will Congress fail they have to. It's a designed failure. You're going to have to either add another topic so there's something to really negotiate on or get rid of one of the topics so you're just talking about the budget and then within just the budget maybe you could trade this for that. But if you add the complication of immigration to budget how in the world are they going to make a deal on that right? Just common-sensically how do you reach a deal when you have two things that neither can negotiate on?
So to imagine that the public has been so bamboozled to think oh we're almost there look at us doing this work we've decided that this is our structure of our deal now we just

have to work out the details. That can't happen. That can't happen. They've designed a failed system from the start. There's only one way it goes. No that's it. So I'm going to predict that eventually the border has to be separated from the budget deal or they're going to have to do something different than whatever this is. They're not going to make any progress on this. And Trump has already sa…
