Romney: 'Unthinkable and unacceptable' to not commit to peaceful transition of power Two Louisville police officers shot amid Breonna Taylor grand jury protests MORE's planned wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, Williams, who is an opinion columnist for The Hill, asserted that such a barrier would do little to stop drug trafficking, a top concern of the Trump administration, asserting that most trafficking occurs at legal ports of entry.

"The bigger one is the drugs that you often cite," Williams said, addressing Watters. "Again, he says drugs are coming through that southern border and most people say 'no, most drugs come through legal ports of entry.'"

"Well, you would know, Juan, because you sound like you're high right now," Watters said, to laughter from other members of "The Five."
