Weekend on presidents day on monday and the weekend come up, he might want to sit on it while he or he simultaneously could sign this and declare the national emergency and get those funds from the different categories that we spoke of. so, the president is getting his 1.375 as we bring in mark steyn. mark, we find out and david, stick around, but we find out there is a lot of provisions with that and some of the mayors might be able to give a thumbs up or thumb s down in these border cities whether this money could be spent on the border, right? yeah. basically, every border municipality will have a veto on whether a physical barrier can be built. and those borders along the rio grande, those border towns are overwhelmingly democratic towns. what s interesting about this vote, brian, right now as it stands, it looks like far more republicans have voted against it than have voted for it and so there is a real split on the g.o.p. ....
