Well find out what it is going to mean. >> california is going to sue, we got words from gavin newsom saying thats what they plan to do at this news conference right after the president did declare a national emergency. is it the place of individual states to sue or should this be, is it better for congress to do it because after all, this is money thats being taken out of the hands of congress and you guys do have according to our constitution, the power of the purse. >> well, there may be an o...

Youre right in terms of this is president trump saying to his base, i dont like what i got from congress, so im going to take the step of the emergency and do everything i can to try to get this wall done. now, this is something that he could have done back before christmas if he simply vetoed the spending bill and let congress override him. he could have said i did everything i could. they overrode me. the president believes that in the two months since then, he has done, he believes a good job...

Affect, i ran, iraq, north korea, venezuela, president trump has three emergency declarations current in effect. president obama has ten that are currently in effect. i dont believe any of those were used as a way to get around congress. so this will be a real test to see how far the president can push this idea of what nancy pelosi said an end run around congress on appropriations before he finds himself in court. you have to bet that hes going to wind up in court in california. >> shepard: im ...

Said in 21 days, president trump is moving forward, building the wall with or without democrats. the only outstanding question is whether democrats want something or not. the art of compromise and art of negotiation, is this the right starting point? >> i dont know. maybe because frankly depends what an emergency declaration would look like in terms of whether it is legal. if it is legal, there are a lot of emergency declarations before. i support building a border barrier. i dont think it needs...

The military involved to build the wall? >> there are emergency powers that allow the president to sort of move funds around within the department of defense. but there are other requirements that have to be met. >> quite likely. in terms of a timeline for national emergency declarations. is there a limits or have we seen a national emergency last for quite some time. >> it was declared in 1979 in the immediate after math of the iranian hostage crisis. it is still a national emergency legally sp...
