Tucker Carlson asked Fox Business host Lou Dobbs about why the Republican leadership appear to be unconcerned with fulfilling President Trump's campaign promises, specifically the border wall.
Carlson said that Trump's top campaign priority that allowed him to defeat 16 Republicans and Hillary Clinton was the promise to "build that wall" on the southern border and strengthen immigration policies.
Dobbs blasted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell after the Kentucky Republican spoke "dismissively" about the urgency to build the wall.
In a Louisville radio interview, McConnell said the funding for the wall would "probably" not happen before the midterm elections.

Let's just not lose so they can't blame anyone - not even themselves - for losses that don't occur.
There is a large contingent within the GOP who literally do want to lose just so they can blame Trump for it. They want massive losses for their own party just to get rid of Trump and vindicate their positions no matter how much damage it otherwise causes. Witness Bill Crystal, George Will and company's rhetoric as of late hoping for Democrat sweep in November.
The only way to block this agenda is to destroy their narrative with a big win - even for those that don't deserve it and don't want it.
To 'choose'...what?
Indeed...to keep the “old money” from having any “new money” competition.
Cmon, Ben. Spit it out.
She doesn't need your permission
It has been that way for many decades now but some people still fall for it
Every two years the GOP makes the campaign lie that they will stop abortion and you believe it.
The GOP has made some headway in shutting down low cost abortions from Planned Parenthood for Negro, Mexican, and Powhite women but abortions for affluent white women are readily available.
Every two years the GOP makes the campaign lie that they will stop abortion and you believe it.
Thanks for letting us know that you subscribe to murdering the unborn and blame it on the GOP.
You are sick in the head.
You can call it murder if you want to, but it is legal. The kooks and malcontents like you call it murder.
I don’t believe the premise that we will lose the mid-terms
You cant equivocate murdering babies, Ben.
You either stand firmly against it or you trade your soul for some convenient truth to hide behind as you accept it.
Sounds like you made your choice.
It hurts my feelings when you call me names. I might start whining, bitching, and moaning.
Its ok, Ben.
You can admit to being a liberal.
Wow! You must be the oldest "sleeper" FR has ever had!
So where is the man's corresponding "legal right to choose" in your lexicon?
Been doing that for quite some time, and people like you scream like banshees about it because you KNOW it's Constitutionally illegitimate.
But no worries...it'll fall eventually.
Oh nooooooo! Here’s another one calling me names.
Sorry, coming after your post #27, that doesn’t have the impact you hoped for.
Of course, it is a time tested way to dodge a serious engagement of ideas.
Why anyone would approve a “woman’s right to choose,” but relegate men to making that decision before coitus has even occurred is a testament to the power of indoctrination.
are you call me indoctrinated
Why, yes. I am.
Do you have a better explanation for why someone would hold such truncated views?
Maybe if you expressed yourself better I could understand what you are trying to say.
But please, spare me the 500 word essays.
Oh I think you're giving yourself WAY too much credit....
