It looks like funding for 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.080 the wall is going to happen. One way or the other. 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.800 One is the president declares a national emergency, and the 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:16.320 other Congress actually cares about the men and women of 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.520 law enforcement, and the families of those who have lost 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.880 loved ones, and the drugs that are pouring into the country, 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.920 and those that are victims of human trafficking. You know, 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.240 I thought they had all the compassion in the world. 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.720 The Left apparently not. And as the media is now 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.360 highlighting for the first time, the furloughed government employees are 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.640 not getting checks, and I could sympathize with them, and 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.920 I'm sure it's difficult, challenging for some of them. I 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.399 live paycheck to paycheck. I remember for a long time 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.160 I had two hundred dollars an old Stone bank in Warren, 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.760 Rhode Island. That's all I had. That was it. It's 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.320 been all my money on college. Didn't have anymore, and 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.480 I was living paycheck to paycheck. So the sooner this 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.920 gets done, they get their money, They pay their mortgages, 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.960 their rents, there car payments, and get their groceries and 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.760 everything else. That they need to tweet in between. You know, Democrats, 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.160 though they've got they bear a huge responsibility in this. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:15.840 They all supported this policy when Barack Obama was president. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.320 Barack Obama sounded like Donald Trump, so did Chucky Schumer, 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.480 so did Hillary Clinton, and so did Joe Biden, and 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.480 so did all these other hypocrites out there. And so 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.440 the real reason they're not going along with this is 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.119 because Donald Trump will get the job done. It's sort 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.320 of like all the Republicans when they voted to repeal 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.600 them replace Obamacare, knowing it's never gonna be law. You know, 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.799 those show votes, as we called them at the time. 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.120 It's the same thing here. Those were all show votes 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.840 by Democrats to act like they really supported border security. 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.840 But now that it means something, they're not going anywhere 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.919 near it, and nor did they want in any way, shape, 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.480 matter or form, any political success of the president. You know, 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.440 one other thing I do know, and I do understand. 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.480 By the way, is this on all right? Could we 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.480 pull out all the plugs and turn that away from me? 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.800 You're kidding me. I had no idea. It's here unbelievable. Anyway, 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.919 All the Democrats in the media are saying that it's 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:19.400 a horrible, horrible, and it's it's so inconvenient and so unnecessary, 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.880 and it creates anxiety for so many people. I think 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.320 that's going to be handled in pretty short order for 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.520 those that are furloughed. But all the men and women 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.840 in ICE, all the border patrol agents think about this. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.120 It all need to find new careers if the Democratic 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.720 Party had their way, because before the twenty eighteen midterms, 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.080 they wanted to abolish and some today Acasio Cortez wants 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.600 to abolish ICE and the things that are being said. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.040 You know when they say manufactured crisis, Okay, that's a 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.880 great term. When you watch and I hope you will 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:57.280 watch tonight, Hannity, well you're gonna meet families that lost 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.440 loved ones that were killed by illegal immigrants, including the 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:06.960 police officer, a police officers seeing out in California. And 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.560 you're gonna meet the parents of Pierce Corkrant they lost 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.880 their twenty two year old son in Knoxville, Tennessee. And 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.480 you're gonna meet other parents. You know, I don't think 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.039 it's a manufactured crisis in their lives. You know, we 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.960 found an interesting statistic because and maybe I'm just thinking 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.839 the numbers that we have been given were about three 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.919 hundred overdose deaths a week, when as it relates to 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:35.159 heroin h there is a Center for Disease Control study 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.760 that shows it's well well over nine hundred a week 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.479 in terms of opioid heroin deaths that take place. Ninety 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.839 percent of that, of course coming across our southern border, 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.680 which is a big deal. How many of you saw 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.200 Jim Acosta. I mean, it's the greatest moment in the 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:55.200 history of television. Jim acostas in McCallum, Texas, and this 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.760 is you know, it takes us tweet tweets it out. 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.800 I guess he's standing next to a barrier wall, you know, 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.839 and he goes, I'm here the wall. That's right, and 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.640 there's nothing wrong. It's all fine. There's nobody here. And 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.640 here are some of the steel slats that the President's 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.360 been talking about right here, as you can see, yes, 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.159 you can't see through these slats to the other side 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.320 of the US Mexico border. But as we're walking along here, 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.880 we're not seeing any kind of imminent danger. There are 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.440 no migrants trying to rush toward this fence. Here in 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.800 the McCallan, Texas area. As a matter of fact, there 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.720 are some other businesses behind me along this highway. There's 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.800 a gas station, burger king, and so on. But no 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.920 sign of the now emergency that president who has been 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.919 talking about. As a matter of fact, it's pretty tranquil 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:49.279 down here is seeing it. I mean the president. The 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.400 President literally tweeted out a cost that that's our point. 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.760 If you build the barrier, you're not going to have 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.200 the trouble. Now, there is a report out now that 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.840 says a new migrant caravan, larger than the first one, 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.680 is now forming in Honduras yet again and plans to 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.280 leave next week. Now where we are in all of 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.800 this is the Trump administration is going to make a 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.240 decision at some point. How is it that they're going 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:19.440 to approach getting the money? And there's different schools of thought. 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:23.240 Lindsey Graham says the President should declare a national emergency 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.640 now there is the precedence for it. There will be 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:31.360 a court fight that would ensue. The likelihood of judge 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.920 shopping would be real. They would probably send it out 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:38.800 to you know, California, Oregon and guarantee that they get 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.760 a liberal judge and it gets the appeal would go 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.000 to the ninth Circuit and then it would make of itself. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.840 Although you can't expedite all of that, and it could 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.360 be done faster than people think could work its way 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.640 through the courts in a shorter period of time. You know, 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.400 I can tell you seeing this everywhere here. You know 0:06:55.520 --> 0:07:01.159 we have Long Island has a massive MS third teen problem, 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.000 and many of the members of this game MS thirteen 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.599 oh Long Island are illegal immigrants. Fox had a report 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.760 that there was three suspects arrested following a bat and 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.360 knife attack outside of a Burger King restaurant and by 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.080 the way, a pretty well known area in New York 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.920 on Long Island that I used to live. Anyway, goes 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.600 on to say that two of the three were previously 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:29.080 held by Homeland Security but were ordered released by federal judges. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.400 That's why judge ships matter anyway. One of them is 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.880 twenty year old Nobel A Montize Zuniga, and you have 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:45.600 Romone Aravola Lopez nineteen and another one, Oscar Canalius Molina, seventeen, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.480 facing second degree assault charges related to a brawl outside 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:53.240 of a Burger King in Huntington Station has all happened 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.000 Wednesday of this week. All three entered the US illegally 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.360 as unaccompanied miners. Well, it's not clear what the groups 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.280 were fighting out. One thing is clear. Everyone arrested are 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.440 confirmed members of MS thirteen. According to the Suffolk County 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.720 Police Commissioner, all three defendants were previously confirmed MS thirteen 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.520 gang members. And it goes on to say that thereafter 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.840 they were detained by the US Department of Homeland Securities, Immigration, Customs, 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:22.640 and Enforcement, and then they were released from custody by 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.240 a federal District County court judge. By the way, why 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.440 don't we ever give out the names of these judges 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.000 that put us in harm's way all the time they're 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.680 in the country illegally. It was just sort of like 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.920 the idiocy of catch and release. Yeah, come back and 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.719 come to court in about a month and a half. 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.199 Your court date is two months from now. Oh, nobody 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:46.160 shows up. Why would they anyway, It goes on to 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.640 say that these agents had wanted to travel to New 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.120 York live with their mother, blah blah blah, and you 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.880 know it's and this is hours before the President traveled 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.040 to the southern border yesterday, where I was I think 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.960 for the fourteenth time. Most of these people I know 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:05.080 in my business, media, TV, radio, they don't ever go 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.840 to the border. They've not seen the things that I 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.040 have had the opportunity to see. Where we were in McCallum, 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.040 Texas yesterday, and I've been all the way from the 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.520 Rio Grand all across the border to San Diego. But 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:20.960 you can walk across. On one side is Mexico. The 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.280 other side, if you make it across, that's the United States. 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.760 You could. And it's so shallow you can walk across it. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.640 And if you can't do it in a minute or less, 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.680 that means you're really slow. You could have a cane 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.120 and walk across in about a minute. I mean, blad 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.640 that mister Marathon you know runner over there probably do 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:44.920 it in twenty seconds, you know. Newsday had a report 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:49.080 out today. In twenty seventeen, Long Island, New York, nearly 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.480 forty percent of all homicides committed by MS thirteen gang 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:57.080 members forty percent. Twenty seventeen, MS thirteen was responsible for 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.920 fifty percent of homicides in Nassau count which is the 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:02.880 county I was born in where I lived a big 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.800 part of my life. Suffolk County twenty seven percent. Eight 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.400 of the fifteen homicides in Nassau County believed to be 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.920 victims of MS thirteen violence. And it's gotten to the 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.480 point that they even at the Long Island Railroad, they're 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.880 just shutting down crossings because that's where some of the 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.679 gang members hang out. We wantn't you arrest them? Maybe 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:30.760 that would solve the problem. Anyway, the Democratic wall is 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.440 beginning to crack. I don't have a strong feeling either way. 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:40.160 I know the President has the statutory legitimacy to declare 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.200 a national emergency. That's not even in question, and he 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:47.000 certainly has, as commander in chief, the constitutional authority to 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.320 do this, and it's just a matter of which way 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.640 he decides to go. Now, the administration is now laying 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.760 the groundwork to declare a national emergency to build the wall. 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.959 Fox News had reported that the President set those wheel 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:04.560 in motion to fund alternatives or finding alternative ways to 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.440 fund the wall. That means Nancy and Chuck can go 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.520 pound sand and the White House has directed the Army 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.040 Corps of Engineers to look at possible ways of funding 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:17.120 the Border of Security. Sarah Sanders told Fox News last 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.680 night as ongoing partial federal government shutdown over money for 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.360 the border wall is less than two days away from 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.360 becoming the longest in our nation's history. By the way, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.680 good things happened when New Gingrich had to shut down 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.200 and fight with Bill Clinton. Anyway, the White House has 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.160 directed the Corps of Engineers to examine the February twenty 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:40.480 eighteen Emergencies Supplemental Budget, which included disaster relief of California, Florida, Texas, 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.480 Puerto Rico, among other states, to see what unsped funds 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.640 could then be used to use for the border wall. 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:51.400 Apparently have thirteen point nine billion dollars available. If you're 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.080 gonna do it, let's get the whole thing done, and 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.040 let's do it right. The numbers I found from the 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:01.560 CDC are interesting because we had been sighting three hundred 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:06.640 deaths in America a week as the number, but the 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:11.800 Center for Disease Control CDC dot gov has different numbers 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.200 about drug overdose deaths, and from nineteen ninety nine to 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.400 twenty seventeen, more than seven hundred thousand people have died 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.920 from a drug overdose. Seven hundred thousand, around sixty eight 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:27.640 percent of the more than seventy thousand, two hundred drug 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:32.080 overdose deaths in twenty seventeen involved in opioid. You know, 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.679 look at states like New Hampshire and Maine, in Ohio 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:40.760 and Michigan and midwestern states. They are really I mean, 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.240 it's like a death of day in some of these 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.240 states and some of these towns. There was one report 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:51.400 that per capita there was a city in Ohio prescribed 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:56.240 opioids meaning like oxycotton is like six hundred per person. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.800 And then when they can't get the pills anymore, then 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.679 they go by heroin, and that heroin, more now than 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.080 ever before, is being laced with fentenyl and Fentnol's guaranteed 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.000 to kill you anyway. They said, on average, one hundred 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.600 and thirty Americans die every day, according to the CDC 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:16.120 from an opioid overdose. That's a lot of Americans. And 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.360 the crime statistics that we have last year, we have 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.760 them available twenty sixteen. Illegal immigrants accounted for thirteen percent 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:27.040 of all non immigration related federal sentences in fiscal year 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.120 twenty sixteen. But yet they're three point five percent of 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:36.040 the population. I mean, these numbers are staggering, So Lindsay 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.440 Graham is calling for the President to declare a national 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.880 emergency and just build the wall. We'll get to that. 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:45.439 Support on Capitol Hill to do this with the Republicans 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:49.240 is building as well. Eighty eight percent of Americans disagree 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.679 with Chuck and Nancy and they do think there is 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.320 a crisis our border. Even the New York Times legal 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.240 experts are saying that Trump can use Pentagon funds to 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.319 build the wall. Wall Street Journal says the Pentagon has 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:05.040 thirteen billion also available to build the wall, and the 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.959 Pentagon saying that they're ready to help Trump build the wall. 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.200 So it's all set in motion. We have the National 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:15.120 Emergencies Act of nineteen seventy six that allows the president, 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.479 and it's been used many times before to trigger emergency 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:25.120 powers conferred on him by Congress. This is a Congressional 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.640 Act that deferred so as a statutory authority as well 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.680 as the constitutional authority. And it will get to all 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.920 of this and a much much more. Eight hundred nine 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.480 one sean toll free telephone number. We have a special 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.680 edition of Hannity Tonight, Manufacture Crisis Really A way do 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.680 you meet the families that lost loved ones? Because of 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:48.480 illegal immigrants. And I'd love to see Nancy and Chuck 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.360 sit down with them and tell them to their face 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.600 it's a manufactured crisis. All these idiotic news reporters are 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:59.120 so called newspeople that have been towing the Democratic Party 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.960 talking point. Maybe they'll look them in the eye. Oh sorry, 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:06.240 you lost your son. This is just a manufactured crisis. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.400 It's cold, it is heartless, and it is rooted in 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:13.560 nothing but politics. There's no truth to what they say. 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.680 All you have to do is open your eyes. One 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.440 thing that is not political, it's smoking. That's about people, 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.720 and there are thirty four million Americans. Now that's smoke, 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.920 But for many there's not been a clear alternative. Jewel 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.240 for me, has been a game changer. I watch people 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:29.960 all the time, they go outside in the middle of 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.320 the freezing winner just to have their smoke. You don't 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.920 have to do that anymore because of Jewel. Now people 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.440 don't have to worry about the smell on your hands. 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:43.680 Jewel was specifically designed by smokers, forced smokers to be 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:48.320 a satisfying alternative. It's a clean technology. Jewel has no ash, 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.240 no odor, no mess. If you're one of those thirty 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.040 four million adults who do smoke. You now know there's 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.560 an alternative to cigarettes and cigars. Just go to Jewel 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:05.160 Juul dot com slash switch America.

Now, to be clear, 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:22.200 the President has said and even today earlier today, that 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:26.800 he's not looking to immediately declare a national emergency, that 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.160 he'd rather work on a deal with Congress and do 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:33.680 it legislatively. Although he does have statutory authority and he 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.240 has constitutional authority, which I'll get to in a minute. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:38.480 He says, we're not looking to do it right now, 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.960 meaning the national emergency, and he said, I'm not going 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.560 to do it that fast. Lindsey Graham is asking him 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.640 to do it now, but the President said that for 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.080 days he might declare it, and if it comes down 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.280 to it, this president will do it that way because 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.000 that's just well. Let me give you an example. We 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.400 have the what's called the National Emergencies Act of nineteen 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.800 seventies six that allows any president, you know, the emergency 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:08.120 powers that were conferred to him by Congress. By the way, 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.800 over one hundred and seventy times, if you want to 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.840 look at the exact number, and it's been used in 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.320 the past by other presidents for a whole variety of things. 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.000 I mean, you can go back to the Bush administration, 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.719 the Obama administration. There's over one hundred and sixty laws, 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:31.280 four hundred and seventy court rulings, precedents giving the president 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.760 these emergency powers that would include reshaping the military, putting 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:39.359 members of the Armed forces under foreign command, conscripting veterans, 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:44.879 overturning sentences issued by court martials, taking over weather satellites 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:50.399 for the military, suspending environmental laws bypassing federal contracting laws, 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:55.400 allowing unlimited secret patents for Army, Navy, and Air Force scientists. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:18:01.400 And all of these provisions came visa statutory your statutories 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.199 and laws by Congress that gives them the authority. The 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:08.080 holidays may be over, but twenty nineteen brings a whole 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:11.000 lot of new goals to accomplish, and the best online 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.159 cigar store in the world is here to help you 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.359 make every day the celebration that you deserve.

All right, twenty five till the top of 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.959 the hour, White House contemplating, according to The Wall Street Journal, 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:13.120 that the shutdown will continue for weeks. It's a partial 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.359 government shutdown. Now, if you're impacted by it and you 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.640 didn't get your check today, it's it's a burden on 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.040 those people, but it's also a burden on people that 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:25.040 have permanent separation, like moms and dads that never see 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.960 their kids again. It's certainly a burden on the on 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.320 every small town in big city. The heroin epidemic, opioid 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:37.159 epidemic that's going on now as of Saturday, though they 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:41.199 did I guess they they're out of session now in 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.320 the in the House, so that means as of Saturday, 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.919 it will be the longest shutdown ever, which doesn't surprise 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.200 me or mean anything. When the shutdown happened Bill Clinton 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.680 and new Ingrich, we actually got a lot of good 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.679 things done in the end of that one. Anyway, The 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.400 President says he'll sign a bill giving federal workers back 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.399 pay when the down is over. That's breaking news. He 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.960 said he's not going to declare the national emergency right now, 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.960 and the President made those comments just moments ago. Yeah, 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:13.719 the messages that I appreciate their service to the country. 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.800 They are incredible people for federal employees that we're talking about, 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.320 But many of them agree with what I'm saying and 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.399 what the people in this room who are experts are saying. 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.400 They don't want to see people killed because we can't 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:31.440 do a simple border structure, and I appreciate their incredible 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:37.080 support we have. Yesterday, I was watching this morning and 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:41.040 reading this morning that so many people are saying the 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.440 President is doing what's right, and even though it's affecting 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:48.520 us short term temporarily. As you know, a bill was 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:52.000 just passed which I will sign in Congress making sure 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.680 that everybody's going to be paid immediately upon when this 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:59.640 is over. But I just really appreciate the fact that 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.040 they have handled it so incredibly well, and many of 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.760 them agree with what we're doing. We have no choice. Steve, 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.800 go ahead, twenty four hours ago, you probably going to 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:13.400 declare a nationally so I said I could do it, 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:17.960 but well, I'll tell you why. It's the easy way out. 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:23.680 But Congress should do this. This is too simple, it's 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:28.720 too basic, and Congress should do this if they can't 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.600 do it, If at some point they just can't do it, 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.960 this is a fifteen minute meeting. If they can't do it, 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:40.760 I will declare a national emergency. I have the absolute 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:43.800 right to do it. It says as clear as you 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.080 can now what will happen. I'll be sued, it will 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:51.040 be brought to the Ninth Circuit, and maybe even though 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:54.280 the wording is unambiguous, just like we're the travel ban, 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:59.000 It'll be appealed to the Ninth Circuit and we'll probably 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:01.480 lose there too, and then hopefully we'll win in the 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:06.360 Supreme Court. But that's what happens. You can take the 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:10.639 most perfectly word a document, as we have in this case, 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:14.359 and they'll always bring it to the Ninth Circuit and 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:15.919 then you never know what's going to come out of 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:17.879 the Ninth Circuit, and you never know what's going to 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:20.920 come out on appeal. But fortunately we have a Supreme 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:25.679 Court that's treated us very fairly. So I'd rather not 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:29.680 do it because this is something that Congress should easily do. 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:33.399 This is something that the Democrats should do, and I 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:37.640 don't want to give an easy way out of something 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:42.600 as simple as this. Not only simple, it's easy, and 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:44.920 it's going to sue pure. You know, we have a 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:48.800 country that is under siege. You could actually you know 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:52.199 a lot of people don't like the word invasion. We 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:56.960 have a country that's being invaded by criminals and by drugs, 0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.800 and we're going to stop it. So I want the 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:03.480 Democrats to come back to Washington and vote. Thank you 0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:11.880 very much, All right. That's the President being very adamant 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:15.280 with reporters and saying, well, if I have to, I'll 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:19.240 do it, but it's gonna take the buddy's pushing the 0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:22.880 Democrats to do their job. The very same policies they 0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:26.560 supported for years, they say, but now that it means something, 0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:29.400 It's just like Republicans voting for repeal and replace. They're 0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:32.240
