State representative Michelle Dubois could go to jail for up to 10 years but she somehow think thinks she can put Illegal Immigrants ahead of american citizens. Do you see the issue is spreading a rumor . No i dont information my community. Lou we will look at cracking down on sanctuary cities with greg abbott and brexit officially underway. British Prime Minister theresa may formally triggering article xv and now the socalled bad boys are brexit are working on new movement, calexit. Thats right nigel farage wants to put the state of california into calexit may be next. Good evening everybody. President trump fighting democrats over how to fund the ball on our southern border. Some on the left and the right save money for the wall should be left out of the pending bill that must pass by april 20 to avoid a government shutdown. But the president wants action and he wants it now. Any Companies Looking to build the wall have now an extended deadline until april 4 to submit a proposal. So far, more than 700 companies have bid on the project including one company in mexico. Thats despite immense political pressure in mexico against the border wall. One politician in mexico in fact has drafted a bill barring the government from doing business ever within a mexican firm that are dissipate in the building of the wall on our southern border. President trump himself today talking about the need to tackle the nations Opioid Crisis which is driven by mexican drug cartels. We want to help those who have become so badly at the did. Opioid overdose death have nearly quadrupled. This is a total epidemic and i think its probably almost untalked about compared to the severity that we are witnessing. Lou President Trump also shows assigning a new executive order creating a Drug Addiction Task force to be headed by new jersey governor chris christie. My first guest tonight signed an order ending the federal government moratorium on coalmining leases on federal land in here to talk about the Trump Administration synergy independents planned the border wall and much more is the new u. S. Secretary of the interior ryan zinke a former member of the house a navy s. E. A. L. For 23 years and congratulations mr. Secretary on your appointment and confirmation. You have got to be i would imagine thrilled and chomping at the bit. Its a high honor and we are going to get things done at the department of interior. Lou i would expect nothing less from ryan zinke. Lets turn to the orders that were signed on the moratorium on coalmining leases. This turns the obama era upside down and moves us further toward Energy Independence does that not . Why isnt Energy Independence important . We dont want to be held hostage by foreign entities and secondly the economy must have reliable affordable Abundant Energy to manufacture this country. We cant compete with wages in china and cant compete with energy and we as a nation and the environment. Better to produce energy hear under reasonable regulations than watching a gift produced overseas with no regulation. I have seen it, you want to look at catastrophes environmentally look at the middle east, look at africa. We can do it better at a lower cost point here. Lou earlier this mth you announced the department will be offering more than 70 million acres in texas louisiana and the gulf region for gas and oil exploration. I mean these are almost unimagined possibilities in every election going back a number of years. This is truly a landmark moment in our history, our Business History as well. It should be and one is we need infrastructure. We need to stop spending our assets. That means railroad systems, pipelines, power to make sure we are more efficient and the other thing is to make sure we have an inventory of what our wild is. The president is a huge supporter of the environment making sure we have clean air and clean water. All of us strive for that we should also recognize the jobs matter. The cost of not having an economy is huge. It will cripple our country so jobs matter, the environment matters but also Energy Independence and being able to transport energy. If you want to check russia than transport liquid natural gas. If you want to check i ran than transport and some plant every drop of crude. Thats how y win. Lou that tell you when and you have many battles to win ahead of you not the least of them the border wall where you are going to be confronted as you are on a number of other issues by environmental groups. You are confronted by opposition within the congress of the United States and the congress and the senate. The border wall, we are being told that it may not be able to go it quite the speed the president wanted. What does the secretary of interior say about that wall and its funding and progress . We are going to build a wall. The president has given clear direction we are going to build the wall. He is placed in command secretary kelly that the new is a fourstar general. Theres no finer person to put in a position and for my part when you consult with the tribe along the border we have a National Park there and it has 120foot cliff there. We had the rio grande. We are going to build a wall and we are going to make sure our borders secure as the president has said. The right for citizens of this country and ive often said a nation without a border cannot exist. We need to follow the law and make sure that our borders are secure. Thats the right path for america. Lou it is the promise of the president. Now stands as an avatar for the entire demonstration. The presidency is donald trump. Its critically urgent to do so and no other political figure mr. Secretary as you well kno and certainly no president before him has never links that border and the fact that it is where the majority of methamphetamines marijuana cocaine and pass into this country. Its critical that we control that border for the sake of millions of american lives. Obsolete and human trafficking. Illegal immigration absolutely correct so how soon is the wall built . I would say with general kelly hes the supporting commander nine the supporting commander on that. Kelly want to get done and the president wants to get it done. We are going to get the wall done. I think the wall takes more than a couple of years. We have the wall in some areas and the rio grande and we have have lou and the nations parks. Absolute. Sure they wall. I fought with mattis in volusia. He picked a great captain. Lou his average was raised when he appointed you mr. Secretary. Good to have you with us.

Well have the full report here in the broadcast. Sanctuary city mayors met with Homeland Security secretary john kelly today insisting in their closeddoor meeting with him that they are not breaking the law. This is the mayor of Los Angeles Eric garcetti. We have a strong constitutional legal footing. The Obama Administration can put a financial gun to the head of jurisdiction or localities. What we are trying to find common ground. Lou common ground, that sounds good. Very benign except that it isnt. My next guest is acting to put an end to sanctuary city policies in his state and it is the great state of texas. Joining us now Governor Greg Abbott. Governor, gray to have you with us. Is he right, are they on solid footing and they can do as they please with law in america . Hes absolute wrong. He needs to read the constitution in the Supreme Court decision. Theres a case called the dole case. Something similar happened with United States department of transportation is going to withhold funding to states about their transportation funding unless they lowered lower the drinking age. So this happens all the time by the federal government. The federal government is not requiring the cities to receive this money so the president does have the right to take money way that is in the form of grants from the cities that dont comply with the standards the president sets. Lou the issue has come up because of the state representative we are going to be talking about the this hour who is tipping off immigration and Customs Enforcement, tipping off Illegal Immigrants about those raids. There is a large question coming tonight in a number of agencies as to whether or not she will be prosecuted. Your reaction . It makes you shake your head lou because we are nation of laws and may expect their loss to be abided by buyer citizens but especially by those were the leaders in our communities and those who are supposed to enforce the law so to hear about an official encouraging others to act contrary to the laws reprehensible. That person should be kicked out of office. They should be subject to what we are seeking to do in the state of texas and that is to subject those officials to criminal penalties themselves. Lou that law that you have moved for has been passed by the senate. Now in the house and at the same time we get this report last week that Travis County the home of Sally Hernandez the share of their was the worst offender in the country and not cooperating with i. C. E. Containers. What is going on in Travis County and are you confident that your bill once it becomes law and you sign it and making it law will that fix fix it . It will. Note that i ha de with the president is threatening to do. As governor defunded Travis County which is where they are often located for a governor script so ive taken 1. 5 million because of the sanctuary city policy. However this bill that we will pass that we will sign soon is going to add even more teeth to that because it will also put fives in the city that will add up to millions of dollars per year but also subject this sheriff to official jail time for not complying with i. C. E. Containers. Lou thats encouraging an example to the entire country. Governor i have to ask why is there even a suggestion that people who violate like this sheriff violates their constitutional duties in enforcing the law or before her say a president like obama who refuse to enforce laws and honor the constitution. Why should there not be a penalty for failure to meet their oath of office . Lou its astounding and offensive that we have to pass a law requiring officials to apply and follow the law but by golly thats exactly what texas is going to do and we will subject them as well as other penalties so will be impossible for any county in the state of texas to have a sanctuary city policy. Lou Governor Greg Abbott is always setting a great example for the whole country. Great to have you with as governor. Thank you lou. Lou be sure to vote in our poll tonight.

By federal immigration agents. Do you see how this could be considered fearmongering because she didnt have a confirmed . No. Why not . State representative Mitchell Dubois a democrat from the city of brockton got word from a friend that u. S. Border and immigrant enforcement would be in the city. Your undocumented dub daugaard on the street. Theres a knock on the door of your house and you dont know who it is. I asked you to be careful. Local and federal Law Enforcement were quick to denounce the action including mr. Bristol county. Dont put a hardline stance on illegal immigration. Thomas hodgkins who testified before capitol hill calling for the leaders of socalled sanctuary cities to be arrested believe dubois betrayed her constituents. To have chosen to violate and put more interest in protecting criminal illegals over the safety of her citi
