-- And the Republicans as I said with that approach.
Seem to have found their voice speaker Boehner in particular.
But then he says things like -- no one in Washington seems to understand what this is all about how to resolve it.
The next thing we know Jeb Bush is selling -- book and detracting from what would otherwise be a president in great travail.
On the front pages of our newspapers even the Washington Post -- the New York Times for a change what you don't look at it that's part of the being out of power I mean there is no leader of the Republican Party there are many leaders John Boehner is the leader of the house.
The senate totally different story the governor's people out of office but still significant figures in the party we have a lot of different voices.
And I think that's going to be the case into we have a nominee a whole -- years from.
The expression the why spend your certainly one of them before the Republican Party.
If this point are you do you feel that you.
In putting forward ideas about where the be illegal immigration where the B gun control saying this is not to be.
A a a united approach yeah I think so I think but -- ever said there are number different.
Viewpoint so you you never gonna -- never going to be the predominant -- -- -- a party that's out of power it's hard enough to be the predominant view point departed it's been in power.
I think the party is making the right steps I think think that that's speaker Boehner now has a pretty firm grasp on what's going on.
I think that some of them movement toward opening up the party more than we had in the past is it is a greater diversity bringing -- -- -- -- viewpoints as well exactly and I.
I also think we have to I believe.
We have figure away around the social issues because I think that that those are the ones that really -- the very very difficult ones I think.
If 53% of this country that votes -- women.
We've got -- we've got to figure out how to be more relevant to when we can't keep -- in the women vote and expect to be majority party right and -- it also with the the idea that Jeb Bush.
It is move in another way on illegal immigration -- He doesn't believe citizenship should be part of any resolution of our illegal immigration.
A crisis what are your thoughts while my thought is I always -- -- it to two part process.
You gotta stop illegal immigration or at the border we need a lot more resources we've gotta be sure the people aren't coming in illegal.
Once we're sure that.
And we can do something rational with a number of people -- -- here which means we get rid of the bad once we put the good ones on a road to citizenship.
I I had.
For a 2000 illegal immigrants when I was mayor of New York City and -- my crime problem are some of the more most of the more we should point out they're not the crime problem.
In communities all across the country -- not -- usually have a lower crime rate that they were in the general on the look like heck a lot of them do it now mixed in with them -- -- criminals.
That open borders.
Our danger irrespective of illegal immigration because drug -- can come in terrorists can -- are coming and they don't commit even if a few of them come indicator tremendous damage.
We should control our borders like any civilized country does.
We need to -- significantly increase our -- -- in order to do that.
Very quickly gun control.
Your thoughts on gun control universal background checks you were very successful -- you turn the -- ranch in Ohio was up what I supported the the assault weapon ban.
Way back in in 94.
You wanna do universal background checks I'm okay with that gun control with and its -- crime.
New York has very strict gun control Chicago is very strict gun control Chicago -- three and a half times the murder rate of New York you know why.
The new York city police department -- guns -- guns daily.
In large large numbers we take them away from the bad guys that's which -- really have to do if you wanna solve the problem of crime and even if you want to avoid another.
Terrible situation like sandy -- We've got to enforce the laws that we have.
A few more laws.
Okay they're not gonna solve the problem -- and force the once that we yeah.
You and I need to talk Arafat assault weapons ban but haven't let -- after after bears great to have you reject -- always been deceived.
