1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: Hey, it's that time of year for those of you,

2

Speaker 1: God forbid, you gotta keep your New Year's resolution. What

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: if you're a timeshare owner and you want to get

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: out of your timeshare. Maybe that's at the top of

5
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: your list of maybe you made a bad investment over

6
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: the years. It doesn't matter. Let not your heart be troubled,

7
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: because the new year is also a reminder that you

8
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: can get serious about getting rid of this time share

9
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,279

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: glad you with us all. It looks like funding for

24
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: the wall is going to happen. One way or the other.

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: One is the president declares a national emergency, and the

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: other Congress actually cares about the men and women of

27
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: law enforcement, and the families of those who have lost

28
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: loved ones, and the drugs that are pouring into the country,

29
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: and those that are victims of human trafficking. You know,

30
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: I thought they had all the compassion in the world.

31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: The Left apparently not. And as the media is now

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: highlighting for the first time, the furloughed government employees are

33
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: not getting checks, and I could sympathize with them, and

34
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's difficult, challenging for some of them. I

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: live paycheck to paycheck. I remember for a long time

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: I had two hundred dollars an old Stone bank in Warren,

37
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: Rhode Island. That's all I had. That was it. It's

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: been all my money on college. Didn't have anymore, and

39
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: I was living paycheck to paycheck. So the sooner this

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: gets done, they get their money, They pay their mortgages,

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: their rents, there car payments, and get their groceries and

42
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: everything else. That they need to tweet in between. You know, Democrats,

43
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: though they've got they bear a huge responsibility in this.

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: They all supported this policy when Barack Obama was president.

45
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: Barack Obama sounded like Donald Trump, so did Chucky Schumer,

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: so did Hillary Clinton, and so did Joe Biden, and

47
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: so did all these other hypocrites out there. And so

48
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: the real reason they're not going along with this is

49
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 1: because Donald Trump will get the job done. It's sort

50
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: of like all the Republicans when they voted to repeal

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: them replace Obamacare, knowing it's never gonna be law. You know,

52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: those show votes, as we called them at the time.

53
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: It's the same thing here. Those were all show votes

54
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: by Democrats to act like they really supported border security.

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: But now that it means something, they're not going anywhere

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: near it, and nor did they want in any way, shape,

57
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: matter or form, any political success of the president. You know,

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: one other thing I do know, and I do understand.

59
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: By the way, is this on all right? Could we

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: pull out all the plugs and turn that away from me?

61
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: You're kidding me. I had no idea. It's here unbelievable. Anyway,

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: All the Democrats in the media are saying that it's

63
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: a horrible, horrible, and it's it's so inconvenient and so unnecessary,

64
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: and it creates anxiety for so many people. I think

65
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: that's going to be handled in pretty short order for

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: those that are furloughed. But all the men and women

67
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: in ICE, all the border patrol agents think about this.

68
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: It all need to find new careers if the Democratic

69
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: Party had their way, because before the twenty eighteen midterms,

70
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: they wanted to abolish and some today Acasio Cortez wants

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: to abolish ICE and the things that are being said.

72
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: You know when they say manufactured crisis, Okay, that's a

73
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: great term. When you watch and I hope you will

74
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: watch tonight, Hannity, well you're gonna meet families that lost

75
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: loved ones that were killed by illegal immigrants, including the

76
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: police officer, a police officers seeing out in California. And

77
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna meet the parents of Pierce Corkrant they lost

78
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: their twenty two year old son in Knoxville, Tennessee. And

79
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna meet other parents. You know, I don't think

80
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: it's a manufactured crisis in their lives. You know, we

81
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: found an interesting statistic because and maybe I'm just thinking

82
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: the numbers that we have been given were about three

83
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: hundred overdose deaths a week, when as it relates to

84
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: heroin h there is a Center for Disease Control study

85
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: that shows it's well well over nine hundred a week

86
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: in terms of opioid heroin deaths that take place. Ninety

87
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: percent of that, of course coming across our southern border,

88
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: which is a big deal. How many of you saw

89
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: Jim Acosta. I mean, it's the greatest moment in the

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: history of television. Jim acostas in McCallum, Texas, and this

91
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: is you know, it takes us tweet tweets it out.

92
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: I guess he's standing next to a barrier wall, you know,

93
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: and he goes, I'm here the wall. That's right, and

94
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong. It's all fine. There's nobody here. And

95
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: here are some of the steel slats that the President's

96
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: been talking about right here, as you can see, yes,

97
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: you can't see through these slats to the other side

98
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: of the US Mexico border. But as we're walking along here,

99
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: we're not seeing any kind of imminent danger. There are

100
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: no migrants trying to rush toward this fence. Here in

101
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: the McCallan, Texas area. As a matter of fact, there

102
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: are some other businesses behind me along this highway. There's

103
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: a gas station, burger king, and so on. But no

104
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: sign of the now emergency that president who has been

105
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: talking about. As a matter of fact, it's pretty tranquil

106
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: down here is seeing it. I mean the president. The

107
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: President literally tweeted out a cost that that's our point.

108
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: If you build the barrier, you're not going to have

109
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: the trouble. Now, there is a report out now that

110
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: says a new migrant caravan, larger than the first one,

111
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: is now forming in Honduras yet again and plans to

112
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: leave next week. Now where we are in all of

113
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: this is the Trump administration is going to make a

114
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: decision at some point. How is it that they're going

115
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: to approach getting the money? And there's different schools of thought.

116
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham says the President should declare a national emergency

117
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: now there is the precedence for it. There will be

118
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: a court fight that would ensue. The likelihood of judge

119
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: shopping would be real. They would probably send it out

120
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: to you know, California, Oregon and guarantee that they get

121
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: a liberal judge and it gets the appeal would go

122
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: to the ninth Circuit and then it would make of itself.

123
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Although you can't expedite all of that, and it could

124
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: be done faster than people think could work its way

125
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: through the courts in a shorter period of time. You know,

126
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: I can tell you seeing this everywhere here. You know

127
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: we have Long Island has a massive MS third teen problem,

128
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: and many of the members of this game MS thirteen

129
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: oh Long Island are illegal immigrants. Fox had a report

130
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: that there was three suspects arrested following a bat and

131
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: knife attack outside of a Burger King restaurant and by

132
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: the way, a pretty well known area in New York

133
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: on Long Island that I used to live. Anyway, goes

134
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: on to say that two of the three were previously

135
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: held by Homeland Security but were ordered released by federal judges.

136
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: That's why judge ships matter anyway. One of them is

137
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: twenty year old Nobel A Montize Zuniga, and you have

138
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: Romone Aravola Lopez nineteen and another one, Oscar Canalius Molina, seventeen,

139
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: facing second degree assault charges related to a brawl outside

140
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: of a Burger King in Huntington Station has all happened

141
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: Wednesday of this week. All three entered the US illegally

142
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: as unaccompanied miners. Well, it's not clear what the groups

143
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: were fighting out. One thing is clear. Everyone arrested are

144
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: confirmed members of MS thirteen. According to the Suffolk County

145
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: Police Commissioner, all three defendants were previously confirmed MS thirteen

146
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: gang members. And it goes on to say that thereafter

147
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: they were detained by the US Department of Homeland Securities, Immigration, Customs,

148
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: and Enforcement, and then they were released from custody by

149
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: a federal District County court judge. By the way, why

150
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: don't we ever give out the names of these judges

151
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: that put us in harm's way all the time they're

152
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: in the country illegally. It was just sort of like

153
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: the idiocy of catch and release. Yeah, come back and

154
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: come to court in about a month and a half.

155
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: Your court date is two months from now. Oh, nobody

156
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: shows up. Why would they anyway, It goes on to

157
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: say that these agents had wanted to travel to New

158
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: York live with their mother, blah blah blah, and you

159
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: know it's and this is hours before the President traveled

160
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: to the southern border yesterday, where I was I think

161
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: for the fourteenth time. Most of these people I know

162
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: in my business, media, TV, radio, they don't ever go

163
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: to the border. They've not seen the things that I

164
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: have had the opportunity to see. Where we were in McCallum,

165
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: Texas yesterday, and I've been all the way from the

166
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: Rio Grand all across the border to San Diego. But

167
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: you can walk across. On one side is Mexico. The

168
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: other side, if you make it across, that's the United States.

169
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: You could. And it's so shallow you can walk across it.

170
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: And if you can't do it in a minute or less,

171
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: that means you're really slow. You could have a cane

172
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: and walk across in about a minute. I mean, blad

173
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: that mister Marathon you know runner over there probably do

174
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: it in twenty seconds, you know. Newsday had a report

175
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: out today. In twenty seventeen, Long Island, New York, nearly

176
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: forty percent of all homicides committed by MS thirteen gang

177
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: members forty percent. Twenty seventeen, MS thirteen was responsible for

178
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: fifty percent of homicides in Nassau count which is the

179
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: county I was born in where I lived a big

180
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: part of my life. Suffolk County twenty seven percent. Eight

181
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: of the fifteen homicides in Nassau County believed to be

182
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: victims of MS thirteen violence. And it's gotten to the

183
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: point that they even at the Long Island Railroad, they're

184
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: just shutting down crossings because that's where some of the

185
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: gang members hang out. We wantn't you arrest them? Maybe

186
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: that would solve the problem. Anyway, the Democratic wall is

187
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: beginning to crack. I don't have a strong feeling either way.

188
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: I know the President has the statutory legitimacy to declare

189
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: a national emergency. That's not even in question, and he

190
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: certainly has, as commander in chief, the constitutional authority to

191
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: do this, and it's just a matter of which way

192
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: he decides to go. Now, the administration is now laying

193
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: the groundwork to declare a national emergency to build the wall.

194
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: Fox News had reported that the President set those wheel

195
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: in motion to fund alternatives or finding alternative ways to

196
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: fund the wall. That means Nancy and Chuck can go

197
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: pound sand and the White House has directed the Army

198
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: Corps of Engineers to look at possible ways of funding

199
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: the Border of Security. Sarah Sanders told Fox News last

200
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: night as ongoing partial federal government shutdown over money for

201
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: the border wall is less than two days away from

202
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: becoming the longest in our nation's history. By the way,

203
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: good things happened when New Gingrich had to shut down

204
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: and fight with Bill Clinton. Anyway, the White House has

205
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: directed the Corps of Engineers to examine the February twenty

206
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: eighteen Emergencies Supplemental Budget, which included disaster relief of California, Florida, Texas,

207
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, among other states, to see what unsped funds

208
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: could then be used to use for the border wall.

209
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: Apparently have thirteen point nine billion dollars available. If you're

210
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: gonna do it, let's get the whole thing done, and

211
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: let's do it right. The numbers I found from the

212
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: CDC are interesting because we had been sighting three hundred

213
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: deaths in America a week as the number, but the

214
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Center for Disease Control CDC dot gov has different numbers

215
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: about drug overdose deaths, and from nineteen ninety nine to

216
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, more than seven hundred thousand people have died

217
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: from a drug overdose. Seven hundred thousand, around sixty eight

218
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: percent of the more than seventy thousand, two hundred drug

219
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: overdose deaths in twenty seventeen involved in opioid. You know,

220
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: look at states like New Hampshire and Maine, in Ohio

221
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: and Michigan and midwestern states. They are really I mean,

222
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: it's like a death of day in some of these

223
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: states and some of these towns. There was one report

224
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: that per capita there was a city in Ohio prescribed

225
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: opioids meaning like oxycotton is like six hundred per person.

226
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: And then when they can't get the pills anymore, then

227
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: they go by heroin, and that heroin, more now than

228
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: ever before, is being laced with fentenyl and Fentnol's guaranteed

229
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: to kill you anyway. They said, on average, one hundred

230
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: and thirty Americans die every day, according to the CDC

231
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: from an opioid overdose. That's a lot of Americans. And

232
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: the crime statistics that we have last year, we have

233
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: them available twenty sixteen. Illegal immigrants accounted for thirteen percent

234
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: of all non immigration related federal sentences in fiscal year

235
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. But yet they're three point five percent of

236
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: the population. I mean, these numbers are staggering, So Lindsay

237
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: Graham is calling for the President to declare a national

238
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: emergency and just build the wall. We'll get to that.

239
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: Support on Capitol Hill to do this with the Republicans

240
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: is building as well. Eighty eight percent of Americans disagree

241
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: with Chuck and Nancy and they do think there is

242
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: a crisis our border. Even the New York Times legal

243
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: experts are saying that Trump can use Pentagon funds to

244
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: build the wall. Wall Street Journal says the Pentagon has

245
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: thirteen billion also available to build the wall, and the

246
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: Pentagon saying that they're ready to help Trump build the wall.

247
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: So it's all set in motion. We have the National

248
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: Emergencies Act of nineteen seventy six that allows the president,

249
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,479
Speaker 1: and it's been used many times before to trigger emergency

250
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: powers conferred on him by Congress. This is a Congressional

251
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: Act that deferred so as a statutory authority as well

252
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: as the constitutional authority. And it will get to all

253
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: of this and a much much more. Eight hundred nine

254
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: one sean toll free telephone number. We have a special

255
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: edition of Hannity Tonight, Manufacture Crisis Really A way do

256
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: you meet the families that lost loved ones? Because of

257
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. And I'd love to see Nancy and Chuck

258
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: sit down with them and tell them to their face

259
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: it's a manufactured crisis. All these idiotic news reporters are

260
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: so called newspeople that have been towing the Democratic Party

261
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: talking point. Maybe they'll look them in the eye. Oh sorry,

262
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: you lost your son. This is just a manufactured crisis.

263
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: It's cold, it is heartless, and it is rooted in

264
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: nothing but politics. There's no truth to what they say.

265
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: All you have to do is open your eyes. One

266
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: thing that is not political, it's smoking. That's about people,

267
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: and there are thirty four million Americans. Now that's smoke,

268
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: But for many there's not been a clear alternative. Jewel

269
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: for me, has been a game changer. I watch people

270
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: all the time, they go outside in the middle of

271
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: the freezing winner just to have their smoke. You don't

272
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: have to do that anymore because of Jewel. Now people

273
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about the smell on your hands.

274
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: Jewel was specifically designed by smokers, forced smokers to be

275
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: a satisfying alternative. It's a clean technology. Jewel has no ash,

276
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: no odor, no mess. If you're one of those thirty

277
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: four million adults who do smoke. You now know there's

278
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: an alternative to cigarettes and cigars. Just go to Jewel

279
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: Juul dot com slash switch America. That's Juul dot com

280
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: slash switch America. Now, this product does contain nicotine, and

281
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: nicotine is an addictive chemical, But just go to Jewel

282
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: Juul dot com slash switch America. Yeah. Now, to be clear,

283
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: the President has said and even today earlier today, that

284
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: he's not looking to immediately declare a national emergency, that

285
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: he'd rather work on a deal with Congress and do

286
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: it legislatively. Although he does have statutory authority and he

287
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: has constitutional authority, which I'll get to in a minute.

288
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: He says, we're not looking to do it right now,

289
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: meaning the national emergency, and he said, I'm not going

290
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: to do it that fast. Lindsey Graham is asking him

291
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: to do it now, but the President said that for

292
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: days he might declare it, and if it comes down

293
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: to it, this president will do it that way because

294
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: that's just well. Let me give you an example. We

295
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: have the what's called the National Emergencies Act of nineteen

296
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: seventies six that allows any president, you know, the emergency

297
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: powers that were conferred to him by Congress. By the way,

298
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: over one hundred and seventy times, if you want to

299
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: look at the exact number, and it's been used in

300
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: the past by other presidents for a whole variety of things.

301
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you can go back to the Bush administration,

302
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 1: the Obama administration. There's over one hundred and sixty laws,

303
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy court rulings, precedents giving the president

304
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: these emergency powers that would include reshaping the military, putting

305
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: members of the Armed forces under foreign command, conscripting veterans,

306
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: overturning sentences issued by court martials, taking over weather satellites

307
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: for the military, suspending environmental laws bypassing federal contracting laws,

308
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,400

330
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: the hour, White House contemplating, according to The Wall Street Journal,

331
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: that the shutdown will continue for weeks. It's a partial

332
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: government shutdown. Now, if you're impacted by it and you

333
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: didn't get your check today, it's it's a burden on

334
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: those people, but it's also a burden on people that

335
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: have permanent separation, like moms and dads that never see

336
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: their kids again. It's certainly a burden on the on

337
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: every small town in big city. The heroin epidemic, opioid

338
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: epidemic that's going on now as of Saturday, though they

339
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: did I guess they they're out of session now in

340
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: the in the House, so that means as of Saturday,

341
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: it will be the longest shutdown ever, which doesn't surprise

342
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: me or mean anything. When the shutdown happened Bill Clinton

343
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: and new Ingrich, we actually got a lot of good

344
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: things done in the end of that one. Anyway, The

345
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: President says he'll sign a bill giving federal workers back

346
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: pay when the down is over. That's breaking news. He

347
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: said he's not going to declare the national emergency right now,

348
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: and the President made those comments just moments ago. Yeah,

349
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: the messages that I appreciate their service to the country.

350
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: They are incredible people for federal employees that we're talking about,

351
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: But many of them agree with what I'm saying and

352
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: what the people in this room who are experts are saying.

353
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: They don't want to see people killed because we can't

354
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: do a simple border structure, and I appreciate their incredible

355
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: support we have. Yesterday, I was watching this morning and

356
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: reading this morning that so many people are saying the

357
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: President is doing what's right, and even though it's affecting

358
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: us short term temporarily. As you know, a bill was

359
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: just passed which I will sign in Congress making sure

360
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: that everybody's going to be paid immediately upon when this

361
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: is over. But I just really appreciate the fact that

362
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: they have handled it so incredibly well, and many of

363
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: them agree with what we're doing. We have no choice. Steve,

364
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: go ahead, twenty four hours ago, you probably going to

365
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: declare a nationally so I said I could do it,

366
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: but well, I'll tell you why. It's the easy way out.

367
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: But Congress should do this. This is too simple, it's

368
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: too basic, and Congress should do this if they can't

369
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: do it, If at some point they just can't do it,

370
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: this is a fifteen minute meeting. If they can't do it,

371
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: I will declare a national emergency. I have the absolute

372
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: right to do it. It says as clear as you

373
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: can now what will happen. I'll be sued, it will

374
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: be brought to the Ninth Circuit, and maybe even though

375
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: the wording is unambiguous, just like we're the travel ban,

376
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: It'll be appealed to the Ninth Circuit and we'll probably

377
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: lose there too, and then hopefully we'll win in the

378
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. But that's what happens. You can take the

379
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: most perfectly word a document, as we have in this case,

380
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: and they'll always bring it to the Ninth Circuit and

381
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: then you never know what's going to come out of

382
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit, and you never know what's going to

383
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: come out on appeal. But fortunately we have a Supreme

384
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: Court that's treated us very fairly. So I'd rather not

385
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: do it because this is something that Congress should easily do.

386
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: This is something that the Democrats should do, and I

387
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: don't want to give an easy way out of something

388
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: as simple as this. Not only simple, it's easy, and

389
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: it's going to sue pure. You know, we have a

390
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: country that is under siege. You could actually you know

391
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't like the word invasion. We

392
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: have a country that's being invaded by criminals and by drugs,

393
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: and we're going to stop it. So I want the

394
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: Democrats to come back to Washington and vote. Thank you

395
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: very much, All right. That's the President being very adamant

396
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: with reporters and saying, well, if I have to, I'll

397
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: do it, but it's gonna take the buddy's pushing the

398
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: Democrats to do their job. The very same policies they

399
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: supported for years, they say, but now that it means something,

400
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: It's just like Republicans voting for repeal and replace. They're

401
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: all four at sixty five times when it doesn't mean

402
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: anything and it's never gonna pass. Then they got an

403
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: opportunity when it would have passed. Oh I'm not sure now,

404
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: or in twenty fifteen when you get seven Republicans in

405
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: the Senate that vote for a straight up repeal of Obamacare,

406
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: but they knew it was never gonna matter because Obama

407
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: is never going to sign that, so they can vote

408
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: for it. Then they can go back to the districts

409
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: and tell people or their states and I voted to

410
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: repeal Obamacare. So many of these politicians are so phony.

411
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: You know. One thing you gotta like with this president

412
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: is that he likes to fight for the promises he

413
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: made and he's doing it. And I was there yesterday

414
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: with him and did the interview. We'll air some of

415
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: that interview coming up later in the program today. But

416
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 1: and I'm listening all these border patrol leaders in this

417
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: particular sector right where the Rio grand is and it's

418
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: just a hop, skip at a jump, and you're in

419
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: America with no barrier whatsoever. And I'm talking to these

420
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: border patrol agents. I literally did the interview with the

421
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: President standing up in front of literally mounds of drugs

422
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: that they had confiscated this week. I told you, I've

423
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: been to those drug warehouses. It's unbelievable. Now, this is

424
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: an interesting fact found by ABC of old people. They

425
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: actually did some work they found. According to the Federal Register,

426
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: fifty eight national emergencies have been declared since the National

427
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: Emergencies Act of nineteen seventy six, which allows a president

428
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: to trigger the emergency powers conferred on them by Congress.

429
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: And it's been in place now in various forms for

430
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: more than like one hundred and fifty years. But anyway,

431
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: fifty eight national emergencies have been declared since the National

432
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: Emergency Act, the latest act. But we've had this going back,

433
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, before Lincoln was president, for crying out well,

434
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: and thirty one of them are still in operation today.

435
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: Continued today they're annually renewed and they're still in effect.

436
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: You know, national emergency with respect to Iran, Well, that

437
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: was Jimmy Carter when he was president. We can go

438
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: back that far. Somebody used a lot of this was

439
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton used it on a number of occasions.

440
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: George W. Bush did it on a number of occasions.

441
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: Barack Obama did it, and a number of occasions, including

442
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: I think one with Columbia because of the trafficking of

443
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: drugs into the country. So there's no doubt about the

444
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: statutory right of the president to do so or the

445
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: constitutional right to do so. He's the commander in chief.

446
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: First role as commander in chief is to protect the homeland.

447
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: And I don't care what term you want to use,

448
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: but people that keep entering our country illegally, that are

449
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: pulling on our infrastructure in terms of our healthcare and

450
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: our education and our criminal justice system. The four hundred

451
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: and seventy court cases that have been set precedence as

452
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: it relates to the nineteen seventy six Act, so the

453
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: president can use those legal tools available available to him.

454
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: And it's not a legislady he's saying, okay, with all

455
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: the drugs coming into the country with all the human

456
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: trafficking involved, with all the deaths that have taken place,

457
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: and you're going to meet many of these angel moms

458
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: and adds tonight. You know, if you watch Tannity tonight

459
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: and you see these parents that lost their kids and

460
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: they tell their stories, ask yourself, does that sound like

461
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: a manufactured crisis to you? Or if you believe the

462
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, the Centers for Disease Controlled number nine hundred

463
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: opioid deaths a week a week, or you believe the

464
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security three hundred one thing that is happening.

465
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: We're beginning to see the Democrats are beginning to get nervous,

466
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: and some Democratic lawmakers are beginning to crack on their

467
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: opposition to the wall, and apparently it's getting a little

468
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: difficult in caucus sessions. One Democrat calling Peterson in Minnesota

469
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: Democrats says he got sixty seven calls supporting the wall,

470
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: five against. They are concerned about the trade situation, but

471
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: from what I can tell, they're still hanging with the president. Today.

472
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: We got sixty seven calls from building the wall and

473
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: five agains. Challenge to me, like he's still pretty popular.

474
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: Two O two, two, two, four thirty one twenty one.

475
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: If you want to call you a member of Congress,

476
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: you want to call your senator, you gonna let them

477
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: know how you feel about all of this. You know

478
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: all the polls that have come out. There's another new

479
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: poll that chows the American people do, in fact, believe

480
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: there is a crisis at the border. Morning Console poll

481
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: seventy nine percent of voters believe there is a crisis

482
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: and a problem at our southern border. Well, I mean,

483
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: how could you not think so? You know, I don't

484
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: know anybody that has not been impacted by addiction. I

485
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: mean in some way. I mean, you know a neighbor

486
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: that's addicted. You have a friend whose son or daughters addicted.

487
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: You have a friend whose husband or wife is addicted.

488
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: You have a close family member that's addicted. Everybody's dealing

489
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: with us, and these drugs are flooding into the country.

490
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: You know, the human trapp picking. You hear these stories

491
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: about young women from Central America, young women from Mexico

492
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: trafficked up to the United States for to be prostitutes,

493
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: ruining and destroying the lives of these young women, absolutely

494
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: destroying them. Pat Buchanon thinks the president should just declare

495
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: the national emergency. New Gingrich says he should wait, and

496
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: the newt had the longest shutdown ever that's about to

497
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: be broken. One thing that keeps coming up is, you

498
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: know the media is claiming, well, I thought you said

499
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: Mexico was gonna pay for the wall. And I played

500
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: this before because when he was then candidate Donald Trump,

501
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: I asked him specifically. I said, well, you don't think

502
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: that he's gonna Mexico is gonna write a check. Do

503
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: you think Mexico is gonna actually hand over the funds

504
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: so you can build the wall? And he said no,

505
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: not at all. Now they're saying they're not gonna pay

506
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: for it. They will pay for the world. We're gonna

507
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: build the world. We're gonna pay for the wall. We're

508
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: going to stop businesses from leaving our country, and we are.

509
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: They are being and they are being drained out of

510
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: our country, our jobs, our money, our base, and our factories.

511
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: We are we're going to stop it. You don't expect

512
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: he's going to write a check. But what you're saying

513
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: is that they will have to make concession. There's many

514
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: different ways. So in other words, you don't expect Mexico to,

515
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: says frump. Here's a check for tens not feasible. It

516
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't look good. So you think the deals that you

517
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: make were more than compensate for the wall, even if

518
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: we tax him. We may tax him, Look, it doesn't

519
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: make any difference. Look we lose a tremendous amount of money,

520
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: or do we have a trade deficit with Mexico fifty

521
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: eight billion dollars year? People don't know that the wall's

522
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: going to cost ten billion dollars. All right, so there

523
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: you go. But the meeting keeps saying, well, where's Mexico

524
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: paying for the wall? Well, he just did a new

525
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: trade deal with Mexico. That's better for the American people.

526
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: There you go, more profits. There's your wall. You know,

527
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: it's interesting that Dailey Caller picked up on something. I

528
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty funny. If walls don't work, how

529
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: come Democrats built a wall to protect their convention center

530
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen? And I know because I've been to

531
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: all these presidential you know, these conventions, the Democratic Party conventions.

532
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: There is another thing. You can't get into the Democratic

533
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: Party convention unless you have a picture id Democrats don't

534
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: want picture IDs when you're voting, but if you want

535
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: to get into their convention, you better have a pictured

536
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: id or else you're not gonna get in anyway. Protesters

537
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: against the Democratic Party's nomination of Hillary Clinton were met

538
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: with tall fencing around the perimeter of Wells Fargo Center

539
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia during July of twenty sixteen. Many of the

540
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: protesters who gathered outside of the barrier were supported by

541
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: were supporters of independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Some Democrats

542
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: felt like they were cheated. They were and seeing the

543
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: extensive security constructed by the DNC, they don't want to

544
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: hear what we have to say, and that's why we

545
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: are out here daily. Oh it's interesting, you'd even picturized

546
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: d's to get in. You got to walk around defence,

547
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: and you have to go through security, and if your

548
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 1: last name is Hannity, it takes twice as long. They

549
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: don't like to let me into those conventions, but unfortunately

550
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: they don't have any choice. We see what's happening with

551
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: our media. I mean, you have one station saying this

552
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: morning that CNN called them the station's KUSI and CNN

553
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: fake News called their newsroom asking if one of their

554
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: reporters could give them a local view on the debate

555
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: surrounding the border wall and the government shutdown, and they offered.

556
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: Dan Plan too has reported dozens of times from the border,

557
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,479
Speaker 1: including one story from twenty sixteen that was retweeted by

558
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: former Speaker of the House Knew king Rich and posted

559
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: on the Drudge Report. We believe CNN declined a report

560
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: from KUSI because we informed them that most border patrol

561
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: agents we've spoken to tell us the barrier does in

562
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: fact work. That's another thing. Why didn't Chuck and Nancy

563
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: get on Air Force one yesterday and go travel with

564
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: the president. I've been down on the border fourteen times.

565
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: It's not a single border agent I've met in all

566
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: that time, and I met a lot of them. They're

567
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: all great guys. They're all are willing to put their

568
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: lives on the line for us, and they all say, yeah,

569
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: when we build the wall, yeah, we basically eliminate all

570
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: illegal immigration from that point. Puma County is one great example.

571
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: They went from five miles of all the sixty four

572
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: miles and guess what, ninety seven percent drop anyway, So

573
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens, but it looks like the President's

574
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: going to hold out, let the Democrats do their job.

575
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: If they don't, he has the option of the National Emergency,

576
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: which clearly he is going to use if he has to,

577
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: not his first choice. We'll see what happens. Hey, listen,

578
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: So Kamala Harris, who's going to run for the Democrats?

579
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: They're all trying to outdo themselves with the highest tax rate,

580
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: which is not going to serve them well anyway. Carl

581
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: Anderson twenty sixteen, leader of the Knights of Columbus. She

582
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: starts asking questions of this guy, and were you are

583
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a woman's right

584
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: to choose when you join the organization? Were you are

585
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: aware that they opposed marriage equality? What does that have

586
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: to is a Catholic group? Were you were aware that

587
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: it's an all male group? Yes? So stop holding the

588
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: American people hostage. M stop manufacturing a crisis. This president

589
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: just used the backdrop of the Oval Office to manufacture

590
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: a crisis. This is a manufacturing crisis. No crisis exists,

591
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: and anyone making the argument is most likely guilty of

592
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 1: fear mongering and willfully misleading the American people. Locals will

593
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: tell him on the border, even conservatives, is that there

594
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: isn't a national security crisis. The notion that we have

595
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: a crisis there security crisis is absolute nonsense. This is

596
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: a manufactured crisis, and a crisis that manufactured by the

597
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: Trump administration. This artificial crisis of the president isn't going

598
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: to justify his appropriating money for a wall that Congress

599
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: is unwilling to give. Is there a crisis at the

600
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: border of the President said there's a humanitarian crisis at

601
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: the border, is there absolutely not. We have a challenge,

602
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: oh our humanitarian issues or challenges for us. The big

603
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: scam of the whole address is that there's a crisis.

604
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: There's not a crisis. Some question if there is a

605
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: crisis at all, as the President has claimed, there is

606
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: not a crisis at the border. It's a manufactured crisis

607
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 1: for the president to get a political when the crisis

608
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: can have, as we see now a very elastic definition.

609
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: And he's determined to convince you there is a crisis

610
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: at the border, even though an intelligence official tell sin

611
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: and quote, no one is saying is a crisis except them.

612
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: If you ever doubted in any way, by the way,

613
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: our two Sean Hannity's show Gladial with Us are told

614
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: for you telephone numbers eight hundred and nine for one

615
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: Sean if you want to be a part of the program.

616
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: If you ever had any doubt whatsoever that the Democratic

617
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: Party is in complete alignment agreement with and to use

618
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: a phrase in collusion with the media in this country,

619
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 1: this is the greatest example. They all they couldn't even

620
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: come up with a second word. They all use the

621
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: same word, manufactured crisis. Now tonight on Hannity on the

622
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: Fox News Channel, You're gonna meet a lot of moms

623
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: and dads that lost their kids to illegal immigrants that

624
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: killed them. You want to tell those parents that this

625
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: is a manufactured crisis, or any of the three hundred

626
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: families that get news that a loved one is now

627
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 1: dead from a heroin overdose. Of the heroine coming into

628
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: this country, coming across the southern border is outrageous and

629
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: of course, a very different story back in twenty thirteen,

630
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: where the Democrats sounded more like Donald Trump than Donald

631
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: Trump sounds like Donald Trump. But because this would be

632
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: his success getting something done, they can't allow that, which

633
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: now leads us to the possibility that the president will

634
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: have to declare a national emergency, get Pentagon funds, and

635
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: get the wall up one way or the other. New

636
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: King Ridge is with us, former Speaker of the House,

637
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: how are you. I'm doing well, and I think what

638
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: you're doing tonight is what the president should do for

639
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: the whole country. I think they should invite every family

640
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: who has lost a loved one to an illegal immigrant

641
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: to come to Washington, to the White House, have a meeting,

642
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: and then go Uplin Capitol Hill and confront directly these

643
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: people who claim that the death of their loved one

644
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: is manufacturing. I think nothing would shrink the Democratic Party

645
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: faster than to confront the families who have a legitimate

646
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: personal experience that the country's not secure and that in

647
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: fact Americans have been killed, they have been raped, they

648
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: have been robbed in some cases, they have been tortured

649
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: by MS thirteen gang members, all of these people who

650
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: are here illegally. Well, I mean, this is the point.

651
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: Why do you think that they've taken on this tact

652
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: that somehow and just look at the last two weeks.

653
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, one of the families we're going to have

654
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: on We're going to have a member of officers things

655
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: families going to be on the show tonight, and another

656
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: family mom and dad. On December twenty ninth last year.

657
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: You know, just a few weeks ago, they lost their son,

658
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: Pierce Corkrane. He was hit by an illegal immigrant that

659
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: was apparently on drugs or drinking and driving on the

660
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: wrong side of the road. He's dead. You know. Democrats

661
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: thought it was a crisis when there was family separation,

662
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: which had happened in the previous two administrations. They thought

663
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: it was a crisis when our border patrol was be

664
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: impelled with rocks and bottles, and to defend themselves they

665
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 1: used tear gas. The media was screaming that quote, our

666
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: ice officials are gassing children. They thought that was a crisis. Well,

667
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: this is permanent separation. These are mothers and fathers that

668
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: don't ever get to see their kids again. Well, look,

669
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: I think there a couple of things going on. First

670
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: of all, a large part of the Democratic Party cares

671
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: more about the fate and people who are not legally

672
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: here than they care about Americans. Will then, let's just

673
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: be honest, they're bias. If you're an American citizen, why

674
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: should they worry about you? You're not their constituency. You're

675
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 1: not who they're emotionally attached to. They're more concerned about

676
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: the treatment of a six year old or a nine

677
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: year old at the border than they are about the

678
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: death of an American from an illegal immigrance. And I

679
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: think that's just a deep bias of the Democratic Party

680
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: that has grown stronger over the last thirty years. I

681
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: think second, you have a lot of Democrats who are

682
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 1: for open borders. The new governor of California who represents

683
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: sort of a California Crazy ideology. It's called for not

684
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: just a sanctuary state, but for California do the sanctuary

685
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: state with free medical care for everyone, specifically including illegal eleigrants.

686
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: So Governor Newsom is going to make California the magnets

687
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: of the world. If you know, if you need medical care,

688
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: go to California, give it to you for free. Although

689
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: also you can go to New York City and I

690
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: would I would like to remind everybody that, yeah, Gavin

691
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: Newsom has promised free healthcare for everybody, including illegal immigrants.

692
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 1: If you need healthcare, you know, all you really need

693
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: is to get in your car or jump on an

694
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: airplane and go out. Gavin Newsom said, it's going to

695
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: be free, so why not do it? And I think,

696
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: but I think it's the same open borders, you know,

697
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: after all, wise, why should we think being American is special?

698
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 1: And I think it's a deep, deep behavior now, almost

699
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: an illness. And the Democratic Party and then the other

700
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: part of the Democratic Party, of course, just hates Trump

701
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: and that they don't want Trump to have a victory

702
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: under any circumstance. And so you end up with a

703
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: sort of a bitter end opposition, as when the President

704
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: said to Speaker Pelosi, if we will reopen the government

705
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: and that do everything you want, could we in the

706
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: next thirty days solve the problem with the boarder And

707
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: she said no, And then he said, well, that's why

708
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: are in me? Why are we meeting? I'm out of here?

709
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: And he was right. I mean, if their attitude is

710
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: that there is nothing they're going to do that fits

711
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: the commanders He's interests now, I will say, I believe

712
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: it will be a mistake for him to use his

713
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: executive power. I think this is an important moment in history,

714
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 1: and I wrote my newsletter about this today. He should

715
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: focus on winning this the country. I'm seeing Democrat after

716
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: Democrat begin to weaken, and if he stays at it,

717
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: you're president going to see Hio Democrats split that in fact,

718
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:07,919
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to pass them. Well, here's

719
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: what's happening that the same media that backs up the

720
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: Democrats with the manufactured crisis line, the same media now

721
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: is is talking about this poor family has to sell

722
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: their welding equipment, and this family is making cheesecakes just

723
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: so they could pay their rent and they're selling the

724
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: cheesecakes to neighbors door to door. And you know it

725
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: is and I feel sorry I've listened. At one point

726
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: in my life I lived, you know, pretty darn I

727
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: was paycheck to paycheck for many years actually in my

728
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: adult life. I know it's not fun when you don't

729
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of money and savings. And for a

730
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: lot of these families, they don't have that money and

731
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: it is inconvenient they will get all of the money

732
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: back in time. But this is what's being played up

733
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 1: in the media. But they don't put on the parents

734
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: that lost their kids, and they only want to push

735
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: the one side of the argument. But also, if you

736
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: feel sympathy for government employees who are not going to

737
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: be paid for several weeks, although as you pointed out,

738
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: the Senate already passed to go and the guarantees they

739
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: will get all the money when when this is over,

740
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: they'll get paid to the the back pay. But if you

741
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: feel sympathy, call Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. I mean,

742
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: let's be clear about this. It's in their power for

743
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 1: a relatively small amount of money out of the total

744
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: federal budget. It's in their power to work out in

745
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: agreement with the commander in chief and have the government

746
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: reopened tomorrow. So you know, this is not a one

747
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: sided thing, and I think that we have to have

748
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: the courage to santough. I noticed that there's a great

749
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: story out today that CNN was trying to find a

750
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: local station in San Diego that would reconfirm its bias

751
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: that walls don't matter, and they couldn't find one because

752
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: all the states local stations in San Diego were saying,

753
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: of course they matter, and they had a ninety something reduction.

754
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: And then yet another station and yet another station that

755
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: actually tried to paint the president alter his look to

756
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: make it more orange. I mean, this fair media, and

757
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: you know I've never seen it this to this extent

758
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: whereds this obvious and this transparent. But when they came

759
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: out and we were kind of watching the SNL opening

760
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: skit with Nancy and Chuck and it was a really

761
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: bad open and I'm sitting there watching this train wreck,

762
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: and they both used the word manufactured crisis, and that

763
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: then was picked up by everybody in the in the media.

764
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: I've never seen the alliance this tight where it is

765
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: the same verbiage, it is the same phrase, the exact

766
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: same arguments, They're the same, They're the same people. Supposed

767
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: to be clear, the news media is the Democratic Party

768
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: that sound like we were a quick kidding ourselves. They're

769
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: not the news media. There the liberal propaganda alarm of

770
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: the Democratic Plarty. I mean the New York side, the

771
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: CBS News or CNN. They don't exist as news organizations

772
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: their propaganda instruments. Let me ask you this. You all right,

773
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: so you want the president to stay strong and keep

774
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 1: the government shutdown, the partial government shutdown, which represents about

775
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the workforce for the government. All right,

776
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: then all these stories furloughed, pain, misery, it's all going

777
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: to be put on Donald Trump's lap, which is their

778
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: emotional appeal, ignoring the families that are permanently separated and

779
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: lost loved ones because of illegal immigration. So but the

780
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 1: point is, the President seems to be laying the groundwork

781
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,479
Speaker 1: to declare a national emergency. Why would you why would

782
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: you not go along with that strategy when it is

783
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: according to every legal expert that matters that I've consulted,

784
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: they all agree it's a slam dunk. Many Democrats agree

785
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 1: it's a slam dunk. Okay, it's a slam dunk. You

786
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: could have done it three months ago. And my question

787
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: is really simple. We now have a genuine crisis of government.

788
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: We have a vision between the new Democratic House in

789
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: the presidented States. And the truth is that the truck's

790
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: humor now is just you know, he's detail on Nancy

791
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: Pelosi's machine. He's trying. He's tiding along behind Pelosi when

792
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: she's leading away. Sooner or later, the President's going to

793
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: have to wun a collision with the Democratic House. The

794
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: sooner he does it, the better. If he side steps

795
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: this fight right now and is clever and uses you know,

796
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: a nice legal device, we're still going from right back

797
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: to a collision. If on the other hand, he can

798
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: raise the anti enough that marginal Democrats to win and

799
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: say I can't take the heat. We're going to have

800
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: to solve this. At some point. He will force the

801
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: Democrats to start to learn that a president of the

802
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 1: United States who has the power of the Viso ken

803
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: in facts, imposed very substantial costs on a left wing

804
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 1: radical House of Representatives. But I think for him to

805
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: be clever right now, and he be legally able to

806
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: do it, I just think that in the long term

807
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: government of the United States, it's not a good solution,

808
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 1: and we'll lead the Democratic House to cut the budget

809
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: of whatever institution he gets money out of. All right,

810
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: stay right there, that's their answer. We continue. Former Speaker

811
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: of the House, new King Rich is with us eight

812
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: hundred and nine for one seawn. If you want to

813
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Jay Secular, the President's attorney,

814
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: is going to check in with us today about the

815
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: legality of declaring a national emergency and we'll talk to

816
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: a Texas representatives. Yeah, it's an op ed in the

817
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: Federalists about the need for the border wall. I was

818
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: there yesterday. You can walk across the Rio Grand It'll

819
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: take you a minute. One minute, you can walk right

820
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: across and you'll barely get your sneakers wet in some areas.

821
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 1: Right as we continue with the former Speaker of the House,

822
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 1: New King Rich, you're urging the president to just stand strong.

823
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: I think Mitch McConnell's hanging in there pretty strong. I

824
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: know that I've interviewed Lindsey Graham and Kevin McCarthy. The

825
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 1: House is strong, but I can see maybe a few

826
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: Senators Lisa Murkowski, met Romney among them, you know, start

827
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 1: peeling away. And I'm sure the Democrats are working very

828
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: hard on that part so well. First, first of all,

829
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: McConnell has said he won't bring up a bill the

830
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: president's not going to sign. So as long as McConnell

831
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: keeps his word, and he's up for re election in

832
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: two twenty, and he knows that the most popular person

833
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,959
Speaker 1: in the Republican Party is President Donald Trump. So one,

834
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: the Senate is a blocking place to start with. Two,

835
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: the president's got the power of a veto. Now, to

836
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 1: to override a presidential veto of this issue is impossible.

837
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: You couldn't do it in the House, you couldn't do

838
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: it in the Senate. It takes two thirds plus one.

839
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: They'll never get that margin. So the president's a musician

840
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: to try to teach the country a lesson, which is

841
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: on this issue, the Congress has to negotiate and the

842
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: Democrats have to learn to negotiate. And that's why I'm

843
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 1: very skeptical of sidestepping this fleet. I think they need

844
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: to turn up the heat. They need to make have

845
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: you have you talked to the president about this? Have

846
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 1: you told the President that no? You justly. I only

847
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: realized today how real this is getting. And I'm going

848
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: to call him and talk to them about it, because

849
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: I do think it would be a mistake to go

850
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: down that road. I think you should call him. I

851
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: think I think he's winning, and I think that he

852
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: needs to recognize and when people like you are a

853
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: big part of this. As the country looks at families

854
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: who have had people killed by illegal immigrants, the whole

855
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: manufactured line looks cynical and sick, and I think people

856
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: begin to realize that these are people who are really

857
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 1: pretty despicable to describe the killing of Americans as something

858
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: which is manufactured, when in fact is the tragic loss

859
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: of life. All Right, New King Ridge, former Speaker of

860
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: the House. Thanks for being one of us eight hundred

861
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: nine for one Seawan toll free telephone number was down

862
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: in Texas yesterday at the Rio Grand. When we come back,

863
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: Representative Chip Roy from Texas, you put an op ed

864
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: in the Federalists about the need for the order wall

865
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: immigration reform. Remember I sat through a security briefing down

866
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: in Texas. Six hundred and forty two thousand Texans victims

867
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: of crime in a seven year period. Well, we'll play

868
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: that tape when we get back. Criminal as have been

869
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: responsible about six hundred and forty two thousand offensive criminal offenses.

870
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: You look up there in the top less sexual assault,

871
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: there's close to eight thousand victims, six hundred and forty

872
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: two thousand crimes two Texas. In Texas along yes, over

873
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand individuals criminal hands, creed reflective day, they

874
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: were committed over six hundred and forty two thousand crimes.

875
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: That's the cause of no security. This is the first

876
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: president to come down here to stop in here in

877
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: five years. I came down here in November twenty thirteen.

878
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 1: During twenty fourteen we had the humanitarian crisis with undercompany children.

879
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have anybody from the White House come down

880
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: here and show the support for the men and women

881
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: the Board Patrols, CVP and DHS. Having the President come

882
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: down here means an awful lot to argue. You hear

883
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: the media, You hear the Democrats. They called us a

884
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: manufactured crisis. Okay, what's your answer to that. So in

885
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, we apprehended two hundred fifty six thousand people.

886
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: We're on pace to apprehend over two hundred thousand people.

887
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: Just yesterday I apprehended one hundred and thirty three people

888
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: from different countries other than Central America and Mexico. Where

889
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: from Pakistan, India, Romania, China, on and on and on.

890
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: This isn't a magdive. Was yesterday just in this sector alone,

891
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty people were apprehended total. We continue

892
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 1: to see increases. We're averaging about six hundred and twenty

893
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: a day, all right, that is ahead of the sector.

894
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 1: Mister Ortiz that I met yesterday, him and all these guys,

895
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: I got a lot of time before the President came.

896
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: I spoke with a lot of ICE members and Border

897
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: Patrol agents and people from all sorts of law enforcement.

898
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 1: And this is their reality. And there I am literally

899
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: among the Rio Grand in McCallum, Texas, and the water

900
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: is not that deep. You could walk across and it

901
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: would take you less than a minute. If you're an

902
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: athlete like Blair, you could probably do it about thirty seconds.

903
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 1: That's all it takes. And then you walk right up.

904
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: There's nothing to stop you. You walk from Mexico into

905
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: the United States. Nobody's there, nobody to stop you. If

906
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: you had the barrier put up, well, then that would

907
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: then be the we'd at least be able to detect

908
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: you there and be trying to climb the barrier, pushed

909
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: down the bear whatever you're trying to do. Well, that

910
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: gives a law enforcement time to do their job, which

911
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: is what all these guys were saying. This helps them

912
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,479
Speaker 1: do their job. And when they tried it in Yuma,

913
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: when they tried it in San Diego, Yuma went from

914
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: five miles of fencing of sixty four miles of fencing. Well,

915
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: then illegal crossings dropped ninety seven percent. Anyway, Congressman Chip

916
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: Roy of Texas is here. He had written an opbed

917
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 1: in the Federalists about the need for the border wall

918
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: and immigration reform. This is the reality of all these

919
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 1: border states. The first bit of tape you heard was

920
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: when I was down there with a security briefing with

921
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,439
Speaker 1: Governor Rick Perry at the time, and in a seven

922
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: year period, six hundred and forty two thousand crimes were

923
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: committed against Texans alone, including homicides and including as you heard,

924
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: sexual assaults. Sean, thanks for having me on. I'm delighted

925
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: that you were down at the border. I'm delighted that

926
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: you were gone down before the Governor Perry. I used

927
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: to work for Governor Perry, worked for Senator Cruz and

928
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: Senator Cornyn. So a lot of the guys that you've

929
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: seen down there in the border who know what's going on,

930
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: those of us from Texas know that this crisis is real.

931
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: It's been real for a long time. And the problem

932
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: is we've got Democrats who want to play politics when

933
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: we're trying to make sure that we're saving the lives

934
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: of American citizens. You're in danger, like Jared Fargas, who

935
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: was murdered last summer by an illegal immigrant by somebody

936
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: who has captured, release, captured, released, and now his beautiful

937
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: mother Laurie no longer has her son because of an

938
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant who took his life, and the little girls

939
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: who's you know and I know today are going to

940
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: get snatched up the cartels and thrown into the sex

941
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: trafficking trade because we refuse to do our basic job

942
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: as a sovereign nation and secure our border. And this

943
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: is not new. Tom Cobram was on the floor of

944
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: the Senate a decade ago talking about rape trees because

945
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: of how bad it was along the border, and it's

946
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 1: only gotten worse as we've empowered the cartels. And the

947
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: President is right, and I'm glad that he's focused like

948
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: a laser on building fencing, securing the border, and doing

949
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: the things we need to do to get it right.

950
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: The border patrol agents down there, like my friend Brandon

951
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: and Hector Garza and the guys down there that are

952
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: doing the hard work. They're wonderful people and they need

953
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: the resources they need to do their jobs. So I'm

954
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: glad you're shining a light on this. Why why do

955
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 1: you think the Democrats that supported this in two thousand

956
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: and six and two thousand and thirteen many of the

957
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: same people and now against it, vehemently against them? What

958
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: do you things happen? This is pure politics. This is

959
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: pure blind hatred directed toward the president of United States,

960
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: without regard to their duty as congress congressman and congresswoman

961
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: representing their districts and representing this country. To secure the border.

962
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: They're baring their head in the sand. And frankly, let's

963
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,479
Speaker 1: be fair, there's been a bit of a bipartisan bearing

964
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: the head in the sand over the last ten years

965
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: and ignoring the crisis of the border. You've pointed that

966
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: out over the years, and I'm just glad now that

967
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: we seem to have a unified party behind a president

968
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: who's willing to stand up and do the right thing,

969
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: and we're winning, Sean. I mean, we're seeing spamburger down

970
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: in Richmond, and we're seeing some of our Democrat colleagues

971
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: start to talk about how hard it is going back

972
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: to their district and the folks saying, hey, we want

973
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: to get this border secure. I've got border patrol agents

974
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: calling me and they're worried about their pay, and I

975
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: understand that. And they're telling me, look, stand strong and

976
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: keep fighting to secure the border because it's time to

977
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: fix it. And I'm glad the president's doing it. Does

978
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: it matter if the president keeps the government shut down

979
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: and fights this till the end that way, or if

980
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: he declares the national emergency and that probably takes it

981
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: into the courts. Does it matter to you which way

982
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: he does it? Well, I personally think he ought to

983
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: just keep holding the line. We ought to come together

984
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: as a Congress and we ought to put pressure on

985
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: Democrats to do this straight forwardly and fund the necessary

986
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: border security that we need. We're talking about two hundred

987
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 1: and thirty four miles of fencing, We're talking about immigration judges,

988
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: we're talking about technology, we're talking about a humanitarian relief.

989
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: This is money that we ought to spend and we

990
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: ought to make the Democrats have to stand up and

991
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: vote on it and do it. If the President has

992
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: to go down the road of emergency declaration, we'll cross

993
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: that bridge when we get there. I think that it

994
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: is an emergency. I think that Democrats have authorized defense

995
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: in the past. But I'd rather that we just keep

996
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: doing the saying focus and doing our job, and the

997
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: President ought to do that and draw attention to all

998
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 1: of this, and so we know the longer we do this,

999
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: the more people will pay attention and understand how dangerous

1000
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: Fentel is, how dangerous the cartels are, and that we

1001
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: shouldn't have the situation where a border troll agent is

1002
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: down there at eleven o'clock at night, alone with no

1003
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,720
Speaker 1: radio signal, no cell signal, the cartels of operational control

1004
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: of the border, and he's sitting there knowing that he

1005
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: could be an endangered and he could do nothing to

1006
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,839
Speaker 1: actually stop what's happening. We need to change that right now,

1007
00:56:57,920 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: and it's our duty to do it well. I think

1008
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: it could be done, and be done expeditiously and then

1009
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 1: put a lot Americans to work in the meantime. And

1010
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a wall, I don't care

1011
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: if it's you know, high tech fencing. I just we

1012
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: just need the barrier. I don't know if you've been

1013
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: to the Rio Grand area a lot, but you have.

1014
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: You been there many times. Whether I was working for

1015
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: Governor Perry, whether I was working for Senator Cruz, and

1016
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: then I was the first assistant Attorney General of the

1017
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: State of Texas. We litigated DAPPA in the courts and

1018
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,959
Speaker 1: wanted to circuit. I've been down there meeting with Border

1019
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: Patrol and was last down there in August, and I'm

1020
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: actually going to go back down week after next, and

1021
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: those guys are on the front line. And if you

1022
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: go down there and you meet with border patrol as

1023
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: you have, you see what's actually happening, and you see

1024
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: how broken it is, and you I gotta tell all

1025
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,479
Speaker 1: those guys are frustrated because they want to do their job,

1026
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: but it becomes an impossibility in terms of doing that

1027
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: job when you have all these obstacles and they're not

1028
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: giving you the help that they're asking for. And with

1029
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: the proven track record, Yuma is an exam ample. Also

1030
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: San Diego as an example. Parts of Texas have been

1031
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: an example. Where we built the wall, they stopped coming,

1032
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: no question, you know, and I know that in San

1033
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: Diego in the late nineteen eighties, before they put the

1034
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: triple layer fencing up along that fifty mile stretch, there

1035
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: were over six hundred thousand arrest a year. That numbers

1036
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: down to thirty thousand arrest. Fencing works. Is it perfect? No, no,

1037
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: No measure is going to be perfect. But fencing slows

1038
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: the tide allows us to focus the resources where we

1039
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: need to. You can still use border patrol agents, cameras,

1040
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: focus on points of entry and get operational control of

1041
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: the border. That's all we're asking for. That's what the

1042
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: border patrol agents want, and that's what Texans want. I

1043
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: can tell you on the front line it was a

1044
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: number one issue in my district in Texas twenty one.

1045
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Smith has been a Stollard on immigration before me

1046
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: and happy to try to carry on his legacy and

1047
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: work with the President and try to get this done

1048
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: the right way. If your colleagues in the House, and

1049
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: you know, when you talk to them, obviously, Republicans seem united.

1050
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: Do you see any wobbling at all among Republicans or

1051
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: are they willing? You know, especially you're hearing every you

1052
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: know story about every furloughed employee who will they'll all

1053
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: get their back pay. I know it's inconvenient. I feel

1054
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: bad for them that it's inconvenient, but they'll all get

1055
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: back pay and the money that they would otherwise have had. Um.

1056
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: Do you think that which pressure is going to give

1057
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: in here? In your view? Well, what I'm seeing is

1058
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: a whole lot of pressure on Democrats to actually do

1059
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: their job to secure the border. Republicans seem united. They're

1060
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: saying the course, uh, they recognize how important it is

1061
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: to get this done right. I believe that we're going

1062
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 1: to continue to win this battle if we if we

1063
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: just take to the American people and why it matters,

1064
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: and you're exactly right. We're going to pay employees. I've

1065
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: deferred my pay until until we pay the employees and

1066
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: the border fill agents and others who are going about pay.

1067
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: And we should, but we should do it the right way.

1068
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: We should do it methodically. We should do our job.

1069
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: We should secure the border and uh and then take

1070
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: care of those that that we're relying on that pay

1071
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: when we get through it. So, um, we just how

1072
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: to stay the course. If we do so, we'll win this.

1073
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: But we can't back away. I mean, this is it.

1074
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the future of our kids. They

1075
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: didn't even have the fentanyl in the room yesterday because

1076
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: they were worried it was too dangerous to have around

1077
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: on display when they have to display of other narcotics

1078
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: and heroin and other stuff because it's such a dangerous drug. Hey, listen,

1079
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: three if you take a grain of salt or a

1080
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: grain of sand and put three of them, they can

1081
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: kill a two hundred and fifty pound guy in seconds. Unbelievable. Yeah,

1082
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: all right, I got it's extraordinary. All right, thank you, Congressman.

1083
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Congressman Chip Roy of Texas. Up close and personal. He

1084
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: sees what's going on. Quick break, we'll come back. We'll

1085
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: continue wide open phones as well as we get into

1086
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 1: our final hour Free for All. We'll be joined by

1087
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: Jay Sekulo. We'll talk about the legality of building the

1088
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: border fence and the judge shopping that inevitably would happen

1089
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: if the President declares a state of emergency. Hey, let's

1090
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: get to take some of our busy calls here at

1091
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: the top of the hour. Jay Secular, he is the

1092
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: chief counsel for the American Center for Law Injustice, counsel

1093
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: to the President. He'll weigh in on the legality of

1094
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: and the right which I've gone through in great detail

1095
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 1: in the course of the program today. If the President

1096
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: decides to declare a national emergency on this, let's say

1097
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: hi to Mike. Mike's in Ohio. Mike, how are you

1098
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: glad you called? I'd love to talking to you. Sean.

1099
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: I'll be real quick. I am the only compassive conservative

1100
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: left in my family, so I negotiate with my liberal

1101
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: brother and sister all the time. So I came up

1102
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: with an idea. I know it's crazy, but I think

1103
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: they would agree to. Good is what if we gave

1104
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: the Democrats the Kinsburg replacement with either Garland or somebody

1105
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: else that they would pick for Trump to get all

1106
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 1: his border wall. The number one slow down there as

1107
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: far as we know, she just had an operation, and

1108
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: you know we all should pray for her health and

1109
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: hope she's able to recover. Number one. Number two, you know,

1110
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: making deals where you hand out. We'll give the Democrats

1111
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. No, that's what elections are about. That

1112
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: was a big part of the election. And if the

1113
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Democrats don't want to do their job, look, you're gonna

1114
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 1: meet all these angel moms and dads and families tonight

1115
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: that lost their loved ones. If they want to say

1116
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: that this is a manufactured crisis, and look the American

1117
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 1: people in the eye or the inconvenience of being furloughed

1118
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: and not getting your check today, I do have sympathy

1119
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: for people that have bills to pay and Democrats they

1120
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: bear a big part of the responsibility. They won't even

1121
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: show up and negotiate. President has invited everybody, he took

1122
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: his vacation away. He stood in Washington. Anti Pelosi was

1123
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: in Hawaii. I guess Maxie Waters was having fun and

1124
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: somewhere I don't know where, but you know, they have

1125
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: to come to the table. And if they're just gonna

1126
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:55,479
Speaker 1: say no and obstruct, no and obstruct, and we keep

1127
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: seeing the drugs pouring into this country, the human trafficking element,

1128
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: and we see people dying at the hands of people

1129
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: that weren't vetted that come into this country. You know,

1130
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: let's have that debate. And if it takes a while,

1131
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: it's going to take a while. Let's go to Bob

1132
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: in Vegas. Bob, how are you glad you called? Either? Sean?

1133
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I trained for the law enforcement before living and I'm

1134
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: furloughed and tomorrow missed my first paycheck. And I think

1135
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: there's blame to go around for both Democrats and Republicans.

1136
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: But what's most important to me is why sites doing

1137
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 1: this Trump? I believe once to save American lives. All

1138
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: the stats he puts out, DHS puts out, you know,

1139
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: the border patrol agents you've seen put out is true.

1140
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 1: I know that, and it will save lives. And I

1141
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: think the Democrats know it will save lives too, because

1142
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: they proved the border wall already, but now they won't.

1143
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 1: Why is that because they want to spike Trump. So

1144
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: it's Trump to me wants saved lives. They want to

1145
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: spike Trump even if it costs innocent American lives, and

1146
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 1: I have an issue with that. Well, let me first,

1147
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 1: I can sympathize as somebody who for years of my

1148
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: early adult life live paycheck to baycheck and had no

1149
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: money in the bank, or two hundred dollars in the bank,

1150
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, at the Old Stone Bank in Warren, Rhode Island.

1151
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: So I fully completely sympathize and understand with those furloughed employees.

1152
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: The good news is both Republicans and Democrats are saying

1153
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 1: that they will get all this back pay. It represents

1154
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: about eight hundred thousand people, about twenty five percent of

1155
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: the federal workforce. I know it's inconvenient, I know it's hard.

1156
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: I know it's difficult, But it's even worse when you

1157
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: have hundreds of Americans dying every week because of the

1158
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: ninety percent of heroin coming across the border, or or

1159
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: those illegal immigrants that are killing our fellow Americans. And

1160
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: you'll meet them tonight on Hannity. We're bringing these families

1161
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 1: in they'll tell you their story about permanent separation. Democrats

1162
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: got all worked up about oh, well, the kids are

1163
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: being separated from mom and dad. We have permanent separation

1164
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: in these cases. But all right, Bob, thanks for what

1165
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: you do. I do hope you get your check soon.

1166
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: I hope the Democrats do what they said they we're

1167
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: going to do five years ago, not doing it now

1168
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: because they don't want to help Donald Trump. We'll continue

1169
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: coming up next our final news round up and information overload.

1170
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: Our the laws one hundred percent on my side. So

1171
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: if we can't make a deal with Congress, and we

1172
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: should be able to make a deal with Congress. If

1173
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: you look Democrats in Congress, especially the new ones coming

1174
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: in and starting to say, wait a minute, we can't

1175
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 1: win this battle with Trump because of the fact that

1176
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: it's just common sense. How can we say that a

1177
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: wall doesn't work? They show on helicopters empty fields. Are

1178
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: people just running through and you put a wall they

1179
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: can't run through? What are the options though? If you

1180
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: declare a national emergency. The Pentagon also has the funds

1181
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: available that they would be able to help support the

1182
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: building of the wall. If we don't make a deal

1183
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: with Congress, which we should be able to really just

1184
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: common sense and there's some compromise needed. And look, they

1185
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 1: know that the walls were all right. That was part

1186
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: of my interview with the President from Texas at the

1187
01:05:56,400 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: Rio Grand yesterday. McCallum, Texas is where the interview took place,

1188
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: and the President saying that if Nancy and Chuck, if

1189
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 1: they refuse to do their job and support the things

1190
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: that they themselves supported passionately in just recent years, and

1191
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: they just want to stop the progress, how many more

1192
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 1: Americans have to die? How many more Americans are we

1193
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 1: gonna see angel moms and dad. You're gonna meet some

1194
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: of them on Hannitay tonight at nine. Is this a

1195
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 1: manufactured crisis in their life? Or that ninety percent of

1196
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 1: heroin that comes into this country comes across our southern border.

1197
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: You know, I actually found another statistic because we've had

1198
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: been saying and the Department of Homeland Security had put

1199
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: out that three hundred Americans every week die because of

1200
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 1: a heroin overdose. According to the CDC dot gov about

1201
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: drug overdoses, from nineteen ninety nine to twenty seventeen, seven

1202
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people have died from drug overdoses sixty eight

1203
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: percent or more of than the seventy thousand, two hundred

1204
01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: drug overdose deaths in twenty seventeen involved an opioid. On average,

1205
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: they're claiming one hundred and thirty Americans die every day

1206
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: from an opioid overdose. That's nine hundred plus a week,

1207
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: more than three hundred. Anyway, joining us, now, let's talk

1208
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: about the legality. If the President does decide to go

1209
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: this route and declare a national emergency or bring in

1210
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 1: the Pentagon or the Army Corps of Engineers, does he

1211
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: have the legal authority to do so? Will it be challenged?

1212
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: Jay Seculars with US chief counsel for the American Center

1213
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: for Law and Justice, also counsel to the President. How

1214
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,919
Speaker 1: are you, sir, I'm doing great, John, all right, So

1215
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: let's go. If the President decides to go this route,

1216
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 1: I see every I don't see any legal obstacle. Even

1217
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Democrats are acknowledging some of them at least, that the

1218
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 1: president has the authority to do this. If you want

1219
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: to go to the specific law that you know we

1220
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: can go to. We can mention this specific law in

1221
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: this particular case because he has a right to do it.

1222
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: So look, the president has both statutorially has the right

1223
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: to do it, and that is Congress created National Emergencies Act,

1224
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: so he has that. But he also has the authority

1225
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: under the Constitution of the United States as president, So

1226
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: he has both constitutional authority and statutory authority. That is

1227
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: legislation that was passed authorizing actions in the event of

1228
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: what is deemed by the president to be a national emergency. Now,

1229
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: by the way, some people are trying to complate this

1230
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 1: with an active war. That's not what it's about. It's

1231
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 1: not about an act of war. It's a national emergency

1232
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 1: for instant. President Clinton in nineteen ninety five issued a

1233
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: national emergency declaration because of drug cartels coming and dealing

1234
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: with the heroin epidemic, and he issued the Colombian drug cartels.

1235
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,640
Speaker 1: He issued a national directive on that national emergency declaration

1236
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: so that he could take specific action. You mentioned the

1237
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: funding of this, and as you said, the for instance,

1238
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: the Army Corps of Engineers has at at least five

1239
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 1: billion dollars in discretionary funds for what's actually they actually

1240
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 1: have approximately thirteen point nine billion available from congressionally approved

1241
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: moneys from February twenty eighteen, and the Supplemental Spending Bill

1242
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: that's in addition to the five billion dollars they have

1243
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 1: under the Discretionary Act for civil expenditures. So it's not

1244
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: as Look, this has never been about the money. What

1245
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 1: is this about. Those that are opposing the president on

1246
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: this do not want the president to have a win.

1247
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 1: Look what he's offered. He's offered to negotiate. They don't

1248
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 1: want to negotiate. He has talked about comprehensive immigration reform.

1249
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: They don't want to talk about comprehensive immigration reform. He's

1250
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: talked about. You know the thing with Jim Acosta yesterday

1251
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: had seen and he goes to the water. He says,

1252
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm at the border. I'm at the wall. There's a

1253
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 1: steel slotted fence here, like the president wants. Nothing's happening

1254
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: with common tranquill exactly precisely right, because there's protection. So

1255
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: I think the look from a legal standpoint, it's very

1256
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 1: clear that the president has the authority. Now you asked

1257
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: an interview with the president, the question about what will happen,

1258
01:09:58,120 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: so will they challenge it? And the answer to that is,

1259
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,640
Speaker 1: of course they'll challenge it. The next question is what

1260
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: happens ultimately, Well, let me slow you down here. They're

1261
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: going to challenge it, and they'll follow the typical left

1262
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: wing route, which is to go judge shopping, and that

1263
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 1: means the lawsuit will likely happen in Oregon or California. Yeah,

1264
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: so they'll go to the Southern District of California, they'll

1265
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: go to Hawaii, they'll go to Oregon. Like you said,

1266
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: they'll go to the Ninth Circuit. So you'll lose at

1267
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: the District court, you'll lose at the Court of Appeals,

1268
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: and you win at the Supreme Court, as we did

1269
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: with the case involving the travel restrictions that were imposed

1270
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: on the six targeted countries. Well, if it's a national emergency,

1271
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: can there be an expedited process, because how long is

1272
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: that going to take what you just described? I think actually,

1273
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 1: I mean I know that. My perspective on it is this,

1274
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 1: this is a question of law, not a question of fact,

1275
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: So it should move very rapidly through that. I think

1276
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: you could you could see this happen in months. And

1277
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 1: here's the real legal question. This is what people need

1278
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: to understand. What is the legal question here? The legal

1279
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 1: question is not whether whether the president deems there to

1280
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 1: be a national emergency. That's his decision as president. So

1281
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: the legal question is, can a judge, and this is

1282
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,639
Speaker 1: what really would happen, Can a judge say I don't

1283
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: think there's an emergency, I being the Court the judge.

1284
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 1: Thus the president doesn't have the authority to act. And

1285
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: I think that's an overwhelming majority of the Supreme Court

1286
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: saying a judge cannot impose his authority over the presidents,

1287
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: especially as it relates to both constitutional and specific statute

1288
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: porty construction. Where the statute says the president has an authority,

1289
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: a judge cannot say, well, my view is the president

1290
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: got that wrong. So statutory on that issue. So the

1291
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:41,799
Speaker 1: president constitutionally and statutorially has the ability to do this. Correct,

1292
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: And you're referring to the National Emergencies Act of seventy six, right, right,

1293
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: exactly correct. I explain Now, constitutionally, he's the commander in chief. Now,

1294
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: if Americans are being killed in part because of vulnerability

1295
01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: on our southern border, wouldn't he wouldn't that be part

1296
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 1: of his job as commander in chief to protect the

1297
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: southern border, And that would then also allow and free

1298
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,600
Speaker 1: up the military not only to provide funds, but to

1299
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: also be down on the border and protecting the border. No,

1300
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,520
Speaker 1: that's exactly correct. So if you look at the overall

1301
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: authority of the president as commander in chief, it is

1302
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 1: very clear that it encompasses those kind of situations. So

1303
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: that's why I say, you both have a statutory right

1304
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: and a constitutional right. Now, the fact is that you

1305
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 1: may not even have to get to that because the

1306
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: statute is so clear. But clearly the constitutional right is

1307
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 1: inherent in the presidence authority as president of the United States,

1308
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 1: and a judge cannot impose his view of what the

1309
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: determination is over the presidents. Does the judge get to

1310
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: make the determination of what's a national emergency? Or does

1311
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 1: the president? And the statute says the president, and the

1312
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:53,599
Speaker 1: constitution says the president. Well, it's not going to start

1313
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: stop liberal activist judges if it's a national emergency that

1314
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 1: the president declares. Why couldn't why wouldn't this go straight

1315
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court? Isn't there a path that they

1316
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: could date the original jurisdiction? So there's not original jurisdiction

1317
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: in that situation. But do you know how many items

1318
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 1: of law give the president the authority in the time

1319
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 1: of a national emergency existing on the books over four

1320
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy provisions of federal law. So this is

1321
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 1: a well established right that a president has. So that's

1322
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: why I think it would move very quickly through the courts.

1323
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 1: So that would mean that there would be an obligation

1324
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: at the lower courts, going to the Ninth Circuit, going

1325
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 1: then to the Supreme Court. Because it's in this category

1326
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,480
Speaker 1: of a national emergency, they have a duty and obligation

1327
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: where they can't sit on it for a year before

1328
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 1: they decide the case. I think that's exactly correct. And

1329
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 1: there's another issue here too, and that is not just

1330
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 1: the issue of the judge imposing his view or her

1331
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: view of what the law whether there's a national emergency

1332
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: or not. It's again, it's not an you know, people

1333
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: are conflating this in the national emergency means it's like

1334
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 1: an act to war. That's not what it means. The

1335
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: national emergency is defined differently. And when President Clinton did

1336
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 1: it for a drug cartels out of Columbia, what's the

1337
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:10,720
Speaker 1: If it was good in nineteen ninety five, it would

1338
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 1: be good now. I mean no question that the president

1339
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 1: has there's precedent not only in the law, but in

1340
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 1: fact on this. And when I say in fact, what

1341
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm meaning is other presidents have exercised this authority in

1342
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: similar situations. So this is not unprecedented. We had new

1343
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 1: King Ridge on earlier Newts position is that the president's

1344
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 1: had a much better political position to keep the shutdown

1345
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 1: going and let and I said to them, well, if

1346
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:39,839
Speaker 1: you watch every single other cable network except for Hannity

1347
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:44,640
Speaker 1: on Fox, what you're hearing is are the difficulties. And

1348
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure it is difficult for some of these furloughed employees.

1349
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: For them, they've got to pay their rent, they got

1350
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:52,839
Speaker 1: to pay their mortgage, they got to pay for their cars.

1351
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 1: All of that money will eventually make its way back

1352
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: into their bank accounts. But it has inconvenienced them and

1353
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: worried them at a pretty high level. But he thinks

1354
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 1: it is a much better way to go than to

1355
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,559
Speaker 1: declare the national emergency. Well, I mean, here here's the look,

1356
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: that's a political question, and I respect a New English

1357
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: Former Speakers judgment on that. I think, Look, the president

1358
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 1: has the authority to do this. Does that get the

1359
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: people back to work? That's all. You know. By the way,

1360
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,840
Speaker 1: if he declares the national emergency, does it mean that

1361
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 1: the that you've reached this impass now and the government's funded.

1362
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that now the president can say we

1363
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:28,639
Speaker 1: will now move forward on that because I've taken action

1364
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:30,759
Speaker 1: since Congress would not. But that would be a decision

1365
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,919
Speaker 1: that the president would make, and you know the political

1366
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 1: consequences of this. Look, I'm sympathetic for the people that

1367
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,760
Speaker 1: have been furloughed. I mean, who wouldn't be You have

1368
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: to know, and I want them all to get look

1369
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: where it came from. That's a good point. But you

1370
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: know in a situation where you got a Democratic party

1371
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 1: that that just five years ago was sounding just like

1372
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and that means Biden and Obama and Clinton

1373
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 1: and Schumer and all of them. And play those tapes

1374
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 1: over and over again. And then to take this stand

1375
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 1: here and to be so insulting when the President offers

1376
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,879
Speaker 1: a meeting to solve the problem with the vice president,

1377
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 1: they send their aids or when Nancy Pelosi flippantly says,

1378
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: I'll give you a dollar, they were not serious about

1379
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: ever solving the issue. Is it just that they don't

1380
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: want Donald Trump to get the job done that they

1381
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: obviously couldn't get done. Yeah, no question about Look, I mean,

1382
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,759
Speaker 1: if you look at this historically, and I have, every

1383
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: time there's been a real discussion of immigration reform Sean

1384
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: under a Republican, the Democrats have blocked it. Let's remember

1385
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 1: what George Bush tried to do, right, what Ronald Reagan

1386
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 1: tried to do others. So here's what the President puts

1387
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 1: out in the last few days. We could get comprehensive

1388
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,720
Speaker 1: immigration reform. The last thing they want is comprehensive immigration

1389
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 1: reform done under the watch of Donald Trump. I mean,

1390
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:52,640
Speaker 1: let's be realistic, because let's talk about the money we're

1391
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: dealing with here. Five billion dollars is less than one

1392
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 1: tenth of one percent of our budget. Less then one

1393
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 1: tenth of one percent of our budget. Twenty five billion

1394
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: dollars doesn't even reach like I think, it's point four

1395
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: percent of one percent. Point four of one percent lay

1396
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 1: a half a little more than half a percent of

1397
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 1: our budget. So this is not about the money. This

1398
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 1: has become an ideological battle between the left and the right,

1399
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 1: between the Republicans and the Democrats, ever you want to

1400
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 1: describe it. Over not the money, but a philosophical issue.

1401
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 1: If they don't want this president to have this win,

1402
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 1: well that's sad because in the meantime, well you saw

1403
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:29,640
Speaker 1: what has happened in just the last two weeks with

1404
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,879
Speaker 1: officers sing who, by the way, will be on Hannity

1405
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 1: tonight and here's Corkrane. His mom and dad will be

1406
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 1: on the program tonight. We're going to meet other angel

1407
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: moms and dads and they'll tell their story and I

1408
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: bet they have some strong words and thoughts about the

1409
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 1: whole concept and the whole idea that this is a

1410
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: manufactured crisis because it's not. Continue with Jay Sekulo, Chief

1411
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 1: council of American Center for Law and Justice, also counsel

1412
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: to the President. All Right, so the president now is

1413
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 1: his hand in a sense, he's got to make a decision.

1414
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 1: And what I'm hearing from my sources on Capitol Hill

1415
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: is the President's going to give them a deadline. Maybe

1416
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: it's up to the State of the Union address, maybe

1417
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: it's two weeks, three weeks, whatever, and if Congress fails

1418
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 1: to act, then he will declare the state of emergency,

1419
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 1: which you know, haven't been down there thirteen times, Jay,

1420
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 1: and having seen the drugs, the poorest porters, gang members

1421
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 1: arrested in front of me, and also talking over the

1422
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: years to many of these angel moms and dads. Let

1423
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: me tell you, every American should watch Hannity tonight and

1424
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,799
Speaker 1: then decide for yourself if this is a manufactured crisis

1425
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: as they say. But how long would it take getting

1426
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,640
Speaker 1: through the courts? If you're assuming they go to California,

1427
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 1: assuming they go to the Ninth Circuit, how long till

1428
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: it gets its way to the Supreme Court. I think

1429
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: it can move rapidly. I mean I think they the

1430
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: government can ask for expedited review at every step. In

1431
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:56,600
Speaker 1: other words, don't just wait for when he gets to

1432
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Expedited review at the district court, expedited

1433
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 1: review at the Night Circuit Court of Appeals. I mean

1434
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: I've done cases where it's gone from you know, the

1435
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: district court to the Supreme Court in two months, in

1436
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: eight weeks, so it can happen. I mean I've had

1437
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: cases where I've taken a stay up to the Supreme

1438
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:14,639
Speaker 1: Court from a decision in the day, right, So there

1439
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 1: is there are ways to move the case forward. But

1440
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: you do know they'll judge shop it. Oh, absolutely. I

1441
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 1: mean you gotta wonder if maybe it would be better

1442
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,720
Speaker 1: if the Republicans they filed the suit in a more

1443
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,639
Speaker 1: friendly venue first. Let them do it well, I mean,

1444
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 1: they're they're going to file a lawsuit as soon as

1445
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 1: the president, if the President takes action, they are going

1446
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 1: to file a lawsuit, and that lawsuit will be filed

1447
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: in a sympathetic jurisdiction, which means someplace probably in California.

1448
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: And in that case, and in that scenario, what I

1449
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 1: think will happen is we're going to have to just

1450
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: aggressively move for a review. And so you just got

1451
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: to get it up You got to get it upstairs,

1452
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: so the Supreme Court as quick as you can. Yeah,

1453
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 1: and how long would an expedited review normally take. I

1454
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: think you could do an X. I mean, an expedited

1455
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: review properly played, could be done in in a couple

1456
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 1: of months. It could be pretty quick, and it quickly

1457
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 1: even go quicker if they It depends on I think

1458
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: if we get to actual real judges that aren't judicial activists,

1459
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 1: I can't see this losing in the Supreme Court. Jay Seculo,

1460
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 1: Chief Council American Center for Law Injustice also Counsel to

1461
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 1: the President. Thank you Jay for being with us. Eight

1462
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: hundred nine for one Sean told free telephone number. We'll

1463
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 1: get to your calls when we get back. As we continue,

1464
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 1: all right, twenty five now till the top of the hour,

1465
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine for one Sean if you want to

1466
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. So this yesterday was

1467
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:45,640
Speaker 1: what my I'm trying to remember. We're trying to go

1468
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: back and at least twelve thirteen fourteen trips to the border.

1469
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: I'd been to McCallum, Texas before. I've been to the

1470
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:55,400
Speaker 1: Rio Grand many times. I've been out there with some

1471
01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 1: of these guys with gunships, you know. I remember one instance,

1472
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 1: and this was the we were there before Governor Perry

1473
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 1: got there one year, and you'd see people on the

1474
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 1: other side. I mean I probably could reach them throwing

1475
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 1: a baseball. I mean it's not that it's you know,

1476
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:14,720
Speaker 1: you'll walk across in some areas where it's not deep

1477
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 1: at all, you can walk across and be in the

1478
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: United States from Mexico in about one minute or less

1479
01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: and anyway. So, but also we saw people there that

1480
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 1: were armed, obviously dangerous on the other side of the border.

1481
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: And we had when I was with Governor Perry and

1482
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 1: El Salvadorian family crossed and we got people. As they

1483
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 1: pointed out yesterday in the briefing with the President, you know,

1484
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 1: they're catching people from forty countries, you know, Bangladesh, the

1485
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 1: Middle East, all over the world. People get to Mexico,

1486
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 1: go to the southern border and that is the one

1487
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:54,759
Speaker 1: area that probably the easiest area to cross. And anyway,

1488
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 1: so we went over all this with the President what

1489
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 1: his plans are. And let me play this exclusive in

1490
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 1: view that I had yesterday with the President at the

1491
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 1: border in McCallum, Texas. Thank you, real Graham. Behind us,

1492
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:10,679
Speaker 1: these are the guys on the front line. You're giving

1493
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: them encouraging messages. Right behind them is five hundred pounds

1494
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: of drugs that they have captured from this river. That's right.

1495
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:21,759
Speaker 1: They are incredible people. We've just spent some time together

1496
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 1: and we had a whole group at a meeting we

1497
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 1: also had that was just covered on your network and

1498
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 1: other networks, and it's incredible the job they do and

1499
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 1: we really appreciate it. That's right. They have a tremendous

1500
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 1: amount of drugs that they just captured. Right behind us,

1501
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:38,679
Speaker 1: and that's what they do. And if we had a barrier,

1502
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 1: a steel barrier, a concrete barricle, whatever you want, it

1503
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't have we wouldn't have the problem. I have some

1504
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: shots that will show in this people can walk across

1505
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 1: the river and or take them about it one a

1506
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:52,680
Speaker 1: minute and a half, two minutes, that's all. And if

1507
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 1: there is no barrier, all those drugs get in. If

1508
01:22:55,800 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 1: these guys can't carry every second, every inch of of

1509
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,679
Speaker 1: you the two thousand miles, that's right, they have easy

1510
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 1: access into the United States. We've built a lot of wall.

1511
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 1: We've renovated tremendous amount of wall with money that we've

1512
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: already gotten, and we're continuing that. But now we really

1513
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: just want to get it going and finish it up,

1514
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: and we're going to build the new wall. And it's

1515
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 1: common sense. It really is when you think of it,

1516
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:22,680
Speaker 1: whether you're into the world of law enforcement, like these

1517
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 1: incredible folks behind us that understand the wall so easily.

1518
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we would make their jobs so much better,

1519
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 1: and they could also go to other areas because we

1520
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,600
Speaker 1: have the wall, you don't need so many people. We

1521
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 1: would probably pay for that many times in one year.

1522
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 1: If you think about just many times. So it's not

1523
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: a money thing, it's a political thing. They look at

1524
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty race and they're not feeling too good

1525
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: about it. They'll do whatever they can to win. I

1526
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 1: have tapes of maybe twenty Democrats. They all use the

1527
01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: same phraise manufactured crisis. Interestingly, they're best friends in the media.

1528
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 1: They're all using the same word, manufactured crisis. So we

1529
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 1: have drug cartels, we have gangs that we're dealing with,

1530
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 1: nine of America's heroin crossing our southern border. And then

1531
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 1: of course we've had homicides, and we've had sexual assaults,

1532
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand violent assaults. What do you say to

1533
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 1: that talking point the media and the Democrats are using,

1534
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 1: this is manufactured. Well, you know, I watched last night.

1535
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 1: I saw in your show last night actually where you

1536
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:23,680
Speaker 1: had anchor after anchors using the exact same word. It's manufactured,

1537
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:26,400
Speaker 1: MANUSI sounds like they're in collusion, A little collusion. That's

1538
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 1: the real collusion. Okay, that's the real collusion. You take

1539
01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 1: a look, because they all use the exact same term,

1540
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean literally the exact same two words. But they

1541
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 1: had manufactured. I said, where did they come up with

1542
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 1: that it's a manufactured crasis. No, it's a manufactured sound

1543
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,599
Speaker 1: bite because it was just a sound bite. But virtually

1544
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 1: every you know, I call it the fake news. I'm

1545
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 1: sure you haven't heard, because you're not fake news. Actually

1546
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: you're real news. And there is some of that. No,

1547
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 1: there is some of that around fortunately, and these are

1548
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 1: great people. These are patriotic people that do it correctly.

1549
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 1: But you know, when I hear that term manufactured and

1550
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 1: you see every sing group using it, it's very sad.

1551
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 1: We lose three hundred Americans a week of the heroine

1552
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: comes into the country, but in the last two weeks

1553
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 1: we lost officers sing in California. Then Pierce Cochrane I

1554
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:17,840
Speaker 1: had his parents on the shoulders, said that I don't

1555
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 1: know how you recover after losing a child killed by

1556
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:23,759
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. I've met and I've interviewed so many angel

1557
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 1: moms and dads too. Are they going to say that

1558
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 1: to them the people that lost their loved ones, their sons,

1559
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 1: their daughters, their parents, or you know, many of the

1560
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 1: people that aren't getting their check, they get it, they're

1561
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 1: going to get it soon. But many of the people

1562
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 1: they're with us one hundred percent. They want us to

1563
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 1: win this battle. These people want us to win. Everybody

1564
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 1: wants us to win this battle. It's common sense. Death

1565
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 1: is pouring through. We have crime and death, and it's

1566
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:49,639
Speaker 1: not just at the border. They get through the border,

1567
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 1: but then they go all they filter into the country,

1568
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:55,640
Speaker 1: and you have MS thirteen gangs in different places like

1569
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:58,759
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and you have gangs all over Long Island,

1570
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 1: which we're knock in the hell out. But there should

1571
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 1: be no reason for us to have to do this.

1572
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be allowed in and if we had the barrier,

1573
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be able to get in. Okay. So the

1574
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 1: point everybody that I have met and spoken to, they

1575
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 1: all say, tell the president if you see them, hold

1576
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:16,839
Speaker 1: the line. Now, you said earlier today that it's likely

1577
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 1: that you're very likely going to declare a national emergency.

1578
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 1: How soon would that happen? Now, if we don't make

1579
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 1: a deal with Congress, most likely I will do that,

1580
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 1: I would actually say I would. I can't imagine any

1581
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 1: reason why not, because I'm allowed to do it. The

1582
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: laws one hundred percent on my side. So if we

1583
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 1: can't make a deal with Congress, so we should be

1584
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 1: able to make a deal with Congress. If you look

1585
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 1: Democrats in Congress, especially the new ones coming in and

1586
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 1: starting to say, wait a minute, we can't win this

1587
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 1: battle with Trump because of the fact that it's just

1588
01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 1: common sense. How can we say that a wall doesn't work?

1589
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: They show one helicopters, empty fields. Are people just running

1590
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: through and you put a wall they can't run through?

1591
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 1: What are the options though? If you declare a national emergency.

1592
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 1: The Pentagon also has the funds available that they would

1593
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 1: be able to help support the building of the wall

1594
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 1: if we don't make a deal with Congress, which we

1595
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,639
Speaker 1: should be able to. Really just common sense and there's

1596
01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 1: some compromise needed. And look, they know that the walls work.

1597
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 1: You know what works a wheel and a wall. It stays.

1598
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 1: They call it a medieval thing. Well, you know, I'm

1599
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: looking at all these very expensive cars all over here,

1600
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:22,519
Speaker 1: loaded up with machine guns, and every single one of

1601
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: them has wheels. It's a wheel is an old thing

1602
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:26,680
Speaker 1: and a wall is an old thing. There are two

1603
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:30,200
Speaker 1: things they work. They work. A wall would be so effective,

1604
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 1: it would solve so many killings and so much death

1605
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 1: and drugs and human trafficking. Would they tape up women

1606
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: on their face, They tape them up and they put

1607
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 1: them in the back of a car or a van

1608
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:42,559
Speaker 1: and they drive right through our border. I guess the

1609
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 1: next most important question is when you do that, would

1610
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 1: you expect they're going to go judge shopping, They go

1611
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,200
Speaker 1: to the Ninth Circuit, they go to California to start

1612
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: the process. Is there are your attorney's telling you there's

1613
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 1: an expedited way perhaps to the Supreme Court, and they

1614
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 1: are saying there possibly is, and hopefully we wouldn't even

1615
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: have to go through. Is very clear. I mean, we

1616
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,720
Speaker 1: have the absolute right to declare a national emergency and

1617
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 1: this is security stuff. This is a national emergency. If

1618
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:10,800
Speaker 1: you look at what's happening, and you just heard the

1619
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:13,599
Speaker 1: statement they came in last week or this week from

1620
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:16,720
Speaker 1: Pakistan and different people they got them. Do you see,

1621
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 1: Sarah Cardinal Leslin have people from Bangladesh and they come

1622
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:22,400
Speaker 1: in through the southern border because it's really considered the

1623
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 1: space into the place where they can get in and

1624
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:27,360
Speaker 1: we want to close it up. These people have done

1625
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 1: the greatest job. It's hard work and it could be

1626
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:33,679
Speaker 1: a lot easier, and it would be virtually one hundred

1627
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 1: percent effective. And Nancy and Chuck know that. But it's politics.

1628
01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:41,719
Speaker 1: It's about the twenty twenty campaign. It's about running for president.

1629
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:45,519
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. They're already doing it. It's a shame.

1630
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:47,680
Speaker 1: We got to put the country first. When you see you,

1631
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:50,879
Speaker 1: when you see the same Democrats, Hillary or Mama, Biden,

1632
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:54,720
Speaker 1: Schumer all supporting this, you know in two thousand and six,

1633
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, right, they're not supporting it now? Is it

1634
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: because you're the president? They don't want you to get

1635
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 1: a wind. Shouldn't the wind be about the country being

1636
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: saved or more secure? They know what I'm saying is

1637
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right. And it's not only us, it's

1638
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,559
Speaker 1: everybody saying it. These people say it, everybody says it.

1639
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 1: If you don't have a barrier, whether it's a steel

1640
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 1: barrier or a concrete wall, substantial and strong, you're never

1641
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:20,400
Speaker 1: going to solve this problem. You're never going to solve it.

1642
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 1: And I don't need this. Look, I could have done

1643
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 1: something a lot easier. I could have enjoyed myself. I

1644
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:27,760
Speaker 1: haven't left the White House because I'm waiting for them

1645
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 1: to come over in a long time. You know that

1646
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 1: I stayed home for Christmas. I stayed at the White

1647
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:36,759
Speaker 1: House for New Year's and I think it tweeted Christmas

1648
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:39,640
Speaker 1: Eve all alone? Where's Chuck and Nancy? My family? I

1649
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:42,400
Speaker 1: told them stay in Florida and enjoy yourselves. But the

1650
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 1: fact is I want to be in Washington. I mean,

1651
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:49,160
Speaker 1: I consider it very very important. Last question, timeline, before

1652
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 1: you think you have to go the route and declare

1653
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 1: a national emergency, well, I think we're going to see

1654
01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:56,080
Speaker 1: what happens over the next few days. They should do

1655
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:59,719
Speaker 1: it immediately. Look, we're not going anywhere. We're not changing

1656
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 1: mind because there's nothing to change your mind. But the

1657
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 1: wall works. It's not a question like, well maybe it

1658
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 1: won't work. It'll work one hundred percent. Now we're adding

1659
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 1: onto that equipment to find drugs that are hidden in cars.

1660
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:15,599
Speaker 1: I mean there's incredible equipment. We're adding sensors, we're adding drones.

1661
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:19,160
Speaker 1: But what we need is we need the barrier. If

1662
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:20,680
Speaker 1: we don't have a barrier, if we don't have a

1663
01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:23,880
Speaker 1: steel or concrete barrier, we're all wasting a lot of

1664
01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 1: time and lives will be saved. I know you're you're

1665
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 1: thinking about the furloughed employees. You support them, getting all

1666
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:33,400
Speaker 1: their back pay one hundred percent. I support them tremendously.

1667
01:30:33,439 --> 01:30:39,400
Speaker 1: But I also support families like the sing family and others,

1668
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:43,760
Speaker 1: others by the hundreds and by the thousands that have

1669
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:47,599
Speaker 1: lost somebody because our policies are so bad, and especially

1670
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 1: at the southern border. They've lost and they've had people

1671
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 1: so badly hurt. But they've lost them, they've lost their lives,

1672
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 1: they've lost they've lost their heart out of the family.

1673
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 1: I support those families, the Angel moms, you know the

1674
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:01,920
Speaker 1: interviews very well, and so do I. I I support them too.

1675
01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:03,439
Speaker 1: Does it mean a lot to you guys that the

1676
01:31:03,439 --> 01:31:07,360
Speaker 1: President's down here, yes? Or absolutely? And as he describing

1677
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:10,840
Speaker 1: the situation accurately, and if you get the wall, the

1678
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 1: drugs will stop. You can stop the cartels, human trafficking,

1679
01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:18,479
Speaker 1: drug trafficking, the gangs. Yes, it will help. It will

1680
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 1: improve refect by what percent. Like the chief said, the

1681
01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:26,240
Speaker 1: majority of our traffic is u is usually coming through

1682
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 1: areas that don't have a wall, just like this. Five

1683
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:30,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen pounds a dope, mister President, thanks for

1684
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:32,800
Speaker 1: taking time, Thank you very much. Thank you guys for

1685
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 1: what you do too. Thank you. We appreciate it, all right,

1686
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:38,840
Speaker 1: now tonight on Hannity, we're gonna have angel mom's, dad's families.

1687
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:42,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna tell the stories exclusively to us. I wonder

1688
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 1: what they think of the Democrats and the media saying

1689
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 1: that this is a manufactured crisis. And literally you could

1690
01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 1: fill a stadium. There are so many people family members

1691
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 1: that have lost loved ones and it's sad that they

1692
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:56,920
Speaker 1: don't seem to care even a wit about them by saying,

1693
01:31:56,960 --> 01:32:01,519
Speaker 1: it's kind of insulting. That's that's the manufactured crisis. That's

1694
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:04,839
Speaker 1: my son or daughter. What do you mean a manufactured crisis?

1695
01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 1: Or if you lost a kid to heroin? Where the

1696
01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 1: heroin come from? Well, nine out of ten times it's

1697
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:15,880
Speaker 1: coming from Mexico. Right, This whole United talkie point among

1698
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:20,000
Speaker 1: Democrats and their cohorts and the liberal hate Trump media

1699
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:24,599
Speaker 1: of Oh, this is not a crisis. It's a manufactured crisis.

1700
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 1: Manufactured crisis. Really, let me play this for you and

1701
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 1: then we'll tell you what we have on Hannity tonight.

1702
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:34,400
Speaker 1: President Trump must stuff holding American people hostage. Might stop

1703
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:38,600
Speaker 1: manufacturing a crisis. To manufacture a crisis, this is a

1704
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:42,360
Speaker 1: manufacturing crisis. No crisis exists, and anyone making the argument

1705
01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:46,120
Speaker 1: is most likely guilty of fear mongering and willfully misleading

1706
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:48,759
Speaker 1: the American people. Locals will tell him on the border,

1707
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:52,639
Speaker 1: even conservatives, is that there isn't a national security crisis.

1708
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:55,839
Speaker 1: The notion that we have a crisis, their security crisis

1709
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:59,280
Speaker 1: is absolute nonsense because it is a manufactured crisis, and

1710
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:03,840
Speaker 1: a crisis that manufactured by the Trump administration. This artificial

1711
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:07,320
Speaker 1: crisis of the president isn't going to justify his appropriating

1712
01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 1: money for a wall that Congress is unwilling to give.

1713
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 1: Is there a crisis at the border of the president

1714
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 1: said there's a humanitarian crisis that the border is there?

1715
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:19,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. We have a challenge, oh our humanitarian issues

1716
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:22,439
Speaker 1: or challenges for us. The big scam of the whole

1717
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:25,719
Speaker 1: address was that there's a crisis. There's not a crisis, folks.

1718
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:28,599
Speaker 1: The president has manufactured one heck of a political crisis

1719
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:31,719
Speaker 1: for himself. Donald Trump is manufacturing a national security crisis.

1720
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,240
Speaker 1: You will hear them say, is that this is a

1721
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 1: manufactured crisis. It's not a national security crisis. It remains

1722
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:43,240
Speaker 1: a Seinfeld shutdown, all about all about nothing. What happens

1723
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:46,360
Speaker 1: when there is a real crisis, when there is a

1724
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:49,160
Speaker 1: real emergency. Does he take to the airways, Do we

1725
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 1: give him the yearways? Do we believe him? Some question

1726
01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:55,000
Speaker 1: if there is a crisis at all, as the President

1727
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:57,799
Speaker 1: has claimed, there is not a crisis at the border.

1728
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 1: It's a manufactured crisis for the president to get a

1729
01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 1: political when the crisis can have, as we see now,

1730
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 1: a very elastic definition, and he's determined to convince you

1731
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 1: there is a crisis at the border, even though an

1732
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:14,639
Speaker 1: intelligence official tell sin and quote. No one is saying

1733
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 1: this is a crisis except them. The way he was killed,

1734
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 1: what my family is going through right now, I do

1735
01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 1: not want any other family, law enforcement person to go

1736
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:29,439
Speaker 1: through that. Whatever it takes to minimize put a stop

1737
01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:32,840
Speaker 1: to it. My family fully supports it. I want them

1738
01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:36,080
Speaker 1: to go to work, be safe, come home to their

1739
01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:41,040
Speaker 1: family safely. And I always, every day I was, you know,

1740
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 1: scared that I would lose my son. Never in my

1741
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 1: wildest dream that I am very imagined my son dying

1742
01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:57,120
Speaker 1: at a family outing a criminal illegal alien that killed him. Well,

1743
01:34:57,200 --> 01:35:01,040
Speaker 1: we're going to be interviewing parents, family member of those

1744
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:04,839
Speaker 1: that have been killed by illegal immigrants, angel moms and dads.

1745
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:07,640
Speaker 1: I wonder what they think of the media and politicians

1746
01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:11,120
Speaker 1: saying it's a manufactured crisis. Well of all of that,

1747
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:14,720
Speaker 1: don't miss it tonight nine Eastern Hannity, Fox News. Have

1748
