Meanwhile, the president of the United States tonight is going to test the constitutional limits of being president. Hes going to bypass congress completely and give an executive order on immigration. This is big. Thats why we have roused james rosen, our fox news chief washington correspondent to fill us in on the details. James. It is big. Good morning to you, steve, elisabeth and clayton. In tonights prime time address the president is expected to announce deferred action. That means a reprieve from deportation for up to five
million Illegal Immigrants. These are parents of children who are here legally or who themselves may have been brought here as children. The move comes almost two years after the president used a speech at a high school in las vegas to challenge republicans to enact Immigration Reform. It will be at that same high school that president obama will return to sign his executive order. What im going to be laying out is the things that i can do with my Lawful Authority as president to make the system work better even as i continue to work with congress and encourage them to get a bipartisan comprehensive bill that can solve the entire problem. The president s order will also likely expand visas for hightech workers and contain some measures aimed at beefing up border security. After the president did this last time, we saw all those children come to the border. Understand this, many of those children never made it here because they were
killed along the way. Other children were tortured. Others were raped. It is the United States and the president would be an accomplice to the inhumane way that the people would be treated who come here or try to come here because of the order. Leading republicans say they are already reviewing options for challenging this order in court. James, thank you very much. The president is going to make his statement tonight at 8 00 p. M. Apparently the white house asked the networks do you mind if we have ten minutes of time. The Networks Said no, it is a busy thursday night. So the president will be appearing on youll see him on fox news, plus the 15th annual Latin Grammys will be delayed by 15 minutes so they can have it live on univision. They chose it tonight because of the Latin Grammys. They know this night they have a large latin audience on television. Oh wait, the president is on, well have to wait for the grammys. It is going to be in
nevada where in nevada they have a great population of Illegal Immigrants. I thought the president said dont go to vegas. Remember that . He said a lot of things. Republicans are firing back. Were going to have judge napolitano on the show a little bit later. Theyre coming for you, steve. To break down the legality of this. Judge napolitano, a great constitutional scholar will be here to break that down. Meanwhile ted cruz said this is absolutely illegal. Take a listen. We are unfortunately witnessing a constitutional crisis. What president obama is doing is defying the law, defying the constitution. The president quite rightly said a few weeks ago his policies were on the ballot over the country. This was a referendum on amnesty and the American People said no we dont want lawless amnesty. Im sorry to say president
obamas reaction is defiant and it is angry. Of course probably alluding to the midterm elections where the president said his policies were on the ballot. He is specifically alluding to the violations in the constitution that requires the president to take care to execute the laws as they are written in article 1 section 8, gives u. S. Congress, not the president , the authority to enact immigration policy. Highlights on that today. President s for decades have used executive actions like this to do stuff but never before has it been so broad where a president has used prosecutorial discretion which means he tells the department of justice lets not enforce the law. You know what . That guy at the podium in brings lane last week who is in brisbane last week who is going to be making the announcement tonight, he considers, at least josh earnest says it, to be a badge of honor to people he
made a promise to. Heres mr. Earnest. Weve heard rhetoric about lawlessness from House Republicans for some time. A statement reefd to emperor obama. The president is somebody willing to examine the law, use the law and use every element of that law to make progress for the American People. And if that is something republicans are critical of, that may be a criticism that the president wears with a badge of honor. The president was criticizing himself. Remember he said im the president of the United States, not the emperor of the United States. Remember he said all these things that are about to follow. Do you have any videotape . I do. The biggest problem that were facing right now has to do with george bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through congress at all. With respect to the notion that i can just suspend deportations through executive order, thats just not the case. I know some people want me
to bypass congress and change the laws on my own, but thats not how thats not how our system works. If in fact i could solve all these problems without passing laws in congress, then i would do so. But were also a nation of laws. Thats part of our tradition. In that univision debate the president specifically said this notion that i can suspend deportation under executive action is just not true. You just cant do that. But now the white house saying theres been a long line of republicans that have done this so this gives us the ability to do that. George h. W. Bush granted amnesty stopping deportation to a million Illegal Immigrants. Even the white house saying this goes back to Ronald Reagan doing the same thing, i have the authority to do it. There is a fellow who addressed that because ive heard that argument a lot lately. Its wrong for this reason, clayton. They say when reagan and bush sr. Both did it, none of the programs were that
big. They say none of them transformed the major policy debate of the day and the other thing is it was never used as blackmail against congress to get them to do something they didnt want to do. Essentially what they were doing was mopping up stuff from the original amnesty in 86. It cleaned things up. But that was passed by congress. This is just getting shoved down peoples throats. And the opinions of americans regarding what the president is about to do, i dont think the white house is going to like this. A plurality of americans, more americans oppose it than approve it. Make no mistake, americans are behind doing something about immigration, but having the president go it alone, we dont like it. Its not the what. Its the how. Americans have seen dictatorship and it doesnt go well. Theyve seen emperors. They dont want our nation to be a nation run by an emperor or dictator and that is what that survey is indicating. Why not put it before congress . Youre going to have battles before the republican party. A Good Opportunity to stake your claim there. That is what theyre there for, to do stuff like this. Up next, we wanted to know what you think about executive action on illegals. Were going to reveal the results coming up next. World war ii rifles being removed from a museum. What . The reason, background checks need to be done on them, yes, were serious. No mom in the history of moms has ever turned down a handmade ornament. This week at Bass Pro Shops santas wonderland kids can get their picture with santa, make a stuffed reindeer ornament, and during the week, get a collectible back pack clip, all for free. Welcome back. Todayed president will announce his plan to move forward with Immigration Reform alone. So what does the American Public think about this . Leigh carter joins us now to weigh these sound bites with some dials. Nice to see you this morning. Lets get the president on tape here talking about executive action and well get your analysis. Take a listen. I indicated to Speaker Boehner several months ago that if in fact congress failed to act i would use all the Lawful Authority that i possess to try to make the system work better. And thats going to happen. Thats going to happen before the end of the year. Seems like a flat line in the middle. Whats going on . People didnt react the
way i thought. I thought people would react really negatively and say i dont think hes going to work with anybody but they didnt. In some ways people said its both sides and if there is an opening maybe he would work with them if the republicans came up with something. Overall the people gave this a c. Theyre saying theyre tired of gridlock. Jonathan gruber calling the American Voters stupid and the president last week acting as if he barely knew Jonathan Gruber from the history books. Take a listen to this sound bite. No, i did not. I just heard about this i get well briefed before i come out here. The fact that some advisor who never worked on our staff expressed an opinion that i completely disagree with in terms of the voters is no replek shun on the actual no reflection on the process that was run. This was an absolute f. Both republicans and democrats agreed this was horrible. What they didnt believe is that he was separating himself. The fact that the white house contracted with him makes it no different than everybody working with him. This was a mess. Absolutely f on everybody we talked to. People like it when you take accountable. That democratic line was the most dramatic. It was off the cliff. Off the cliff. Sprietion how negatively they reacted. How did people react to this. John boehner said were going to fight the president on his executive action tooth and nail. The president threatening to take unilateral action on immigration even though in the past hes made clear he didnt believe he had the constitutional responsibility or authority to do that. And ill just say this. Were going to fight the president tooth and nail if he continues down this path. This is the wrong way to govern. This is exactly what the American People said on election day they didnt want. What too lines are we seeing there . It is a little bit different. It was surprising to me that older folks, people that were gen x and above said im tired of gridlock. We gave it a d overall because people are saying hes combative, hes not ready to compromise and thats it. The older folks said john boehner were not happy with you on that one. Absolutely. Interesting. Leigh carter, always great stuff. We enjoy these sound bites and the dial. Thank you. Coming up on the show, another mess at the u. N. N. This time we gave away millions and never got a promise what the money would be used for. Are you getting tired of Political Correctness in this country . Theres a movie you have to see. The director is here with the director is here with that. Im over the hill. My body doesnt work the way it used to. Past my prime . Im a victim of a slowing metabolism . I dont think so. Great grains protein blend. Protein from Natural Ingredients like seeds and nuts. It helps support a healthy metabolism. Great grains protein blend. When you take advil you get relief right at the site of pain. Wherever it is. Advil stops pain right where it starts. Relief doesnt get any better than this. Advil. Were here with a fox news alert. Gaza militants at it again. Israel says theyre test firing rockets just two days after the massacre in a jerusalem sin gol gaza synagogue, gaza militants fired four rockets into the mediterranean sea. Want to know how Many Americans traveled to syria in the past few months . 150. Agents believe they may try to return to the United States to wage jihad on american soil. Your tax dollars helped pay for it. The United Nations donating tens of millions of dollars to war torn somalia for humanitarian work over the past few years. So where did it go . Auditors say they have no idea. A new internal watchdog reports there is no effective way to track the money or know exactly what its being used for. Not sitting well with us. Steve . Terrific. We told you folks yesterday about a School District dumping christmas and easter from its calendar after some muslims complained that they wanted their own holiday on it.
