lying. it's almost like this strange parallel universe where you're dragged into his brain and sort of thrash around in this reality of, you know, the rapists and the women with the tape. it's been debunked and debunked and debunked. you just have to hear it again. it's crazy. >> but legally, isn't he free to free associate like that and to call everybody a liar and to negate all factual information to the contrary, because if a president, not just him, any president calls something an emergency, legally it's an emergency? >> the national emergencies act in this sense is the worst thing that could have happened to the republic because it was trying to constrain at the time, 1976, post-watergate, the declarations of emergencies, but what it in fact did was not define what an emergency is. not enumerate what the qualities might be. it essentially gave the president carte blanche to just say this one is an emergency. you're right. it plays into that.
