-- Senator John McCain.

Today -- -- the Supreme Court issues decision leaving one provision standing.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The 287 G agreements which is a partnership between ice in Arizona struck down.

Governor -- not happy about that but she was seen is that as -- -- -- awaiting emasculated any effort by Arizona I think those who live my description from what she said.

And now the Department of Justice so we learned tonight has set up -- telephone hotline an intake email for the public -- report potential civil rights concerns.

Relate to the implementation of Arizona SB 1070000.

Dollars a -- Can't make it out.

And the fact is that today.

There are drugs coming across -- -- and our border.

And guides -- on mountain tops in Arizona guiding these drug dealers all the way -- to Phoenix where drugs are distributed throughout the country.

There are people who were being brought up by coyotes and some of them are kept in -- palaces where they are mistreated most terrible fashion.

And -- for ransom.

There are some people who are being brought across our border -- -- being deserted by the coyotes and dying in the desert.

Now all of this argues for -- in my view for increased border security.

Rather than decreased and how do you best do that obviously is through agreements with local authorities are just -- -- that.

Is there anything at all to prevent.

Our representatives in the house the senate and the -- united between now and November to actually sit I sit down and actually is simply not everybody campaign is -- what he spreads out Republicans Democrats.

We've got my every six months -- any event because everyone agrees to Supreme Court -- it's a problem Arizona agrees it's a problem the president agrees if Romney give a speech about a what's to stop anyone from doing it right now.

Nothing that I know of I am sure that Harry Reid.

We'll bring up the DREAM Act their DREAM Act which by the way calls for two years of military service.

On the part the DREAM Act children when we sign people up for for not for two that's just 11 small items.

And they would try to use it obviously for political advantage.

I think we should sit down and talk to him and would be glad to talk to them.

About this issue but there has to be.

Agricultural workers.

Program -- -- to -- high tech workers we need to keep -- high tech you know workers and students who.

Graduate there needs to be.

-- -- -- that -- documentation that shows that it verifies that you are citizen.

Or here legally that by the way with some recommendation of the 9/11 commission.

And also better border enforcement we need that.

And we need some rolled up sleeves.

Actual work rather talk about -- -- distressed -- dead go ahead to another topic it's Thursday how we expected the big day on health care.

Found in their 32 he's essentially it's going to be upheld its gonna be reversed in part -- mandate struck down or reversed totally -- to.

Comment on.

I can't I can't predict what they're going to do but.

If it's one of the last two we did the mandate -- complete repeal.

We Republicans will be ready.

Who is proposals ranging from small things like being able to go across state lines to get.

The insurance policy that you want to medical malpractice reform -- things like that too.

Preserving a couple of the program provisions which are minor but they made a big deal out of he -- have to keep your child under that's up to age 26 on your health care plan that's fine with me it has very little.

Little impact financially because most people 26 and younger and good health so we would be glad to keep some of the those.

But overall it is a fundamental repudiation of this president who has acted in an unconstitutional.

Fashion.

Not the first time in my view but this -- authenticate that.

Aren't there is there's the impact to the health care there's a cost of the health care and -- implementation of the -- -- -- -- sort of the the political.

Part of it how how do you think for governor Romney fought for President Obama -- the senate health care decision whichever way it goes plays out November.

If -- Supreme Court upholds since then I think it's a victory for the president I mean he believed it was constitutional me act unconstitutional fashion.

But apart so -- are struck down and particularly the fundamental seven.

I think it has to be viewed by the American people as a present and understand what is constitutional parameters so far.

That he cannot operate -- -- the United States and by the way most Americans I think according to polls will -- they heave a sigh of relief because most Americans oppose this legislation.

Is he fifty heading down what you thought you would do is present system is going back to -- -- it.

I never thought he would do things like he did today.

I never thought he would.

You know a lot of my area of interest is national security.

He's not -- he should he -- for a while we was leading from behind no he's not leading at all.

Your perception around the world.

Is that he is weakened America is withdrawing.

Look at that latest the optics of that meeting between him and couldn't remember what centerpiece of that.

That Obama and national security policy was to reset button with Russia.

He he he is.

He is encouraged our enemies and discourage our friends.

Says thank you nice to -- -- seven thanks Fred.
