congress to the executive, charles. >> thank you, chad. i want to bring in ned ryan. democratic strategist, scott levinson and susan li. we just got a tweet in kamala harris. declaring a national emergency over this president's vanity project is ridiculous. we don't need a wall. we should address the actual emergencies facing our country. everything from gun violence to the opioid crisis. susan, what do you think? >> i think that declaring a national emergency strengthens the president's hand when it comes to negotiating other deals. we do have the raise the debt ceiling. that could be declared and strengthen his hand. >> isn't it the same kind of political shenanigans that the guy was cleaning up the swamp was going to leave behind? seals like another gimmick?
