environmental permitting needed for all types of construction projects. i think the point, though, is that all of that stuff has to start with funding appropriations that authorize more work to be done. and that s sort of where we are now. that s not eunique to the federl government. that s how every state and municipality operates. the point is they have not appropriated the money for the miles for the levee wall. and he s not able to spend the $1.375 billion this year, why do they need extra money, joseph? that s what i m saying. is he looking at a big number to impress his base? no, when you re doing municipal or state or federal contracting you start with a budget allocation, and then you shape a project around that. you have to design it. you have to contract it, you have to go out and build it. again, the initial point is always from the initial allocation of the funds which is
acted as if he s above the law and does not deserve leniency. meanwhile, prosecutors have revealed for the first time that they have evidence that roger stone communicated directly with wikileaks. prosecutors do not say what was in the communications between wikileaks and stone. we joined by republican commentator, joseph, welcome back to the show. good morning, victor. let s start here with this emergency declare for building the wall. the president said among many things during that news conference in the rose garden, i didn t need to do this. does not undermine the argument that this is a national emergency? no, i don t think so at all. i think he meant, he didn t need to do this if congress would have appropriated the money as they voted in of the past to fund the border wall. but they did, $1.375 billion and he signed into law the same day he said it was an emergency? sure. and we ve played the debates
doing whatever it takes to fulfill his promises. more importantly, this ismi about protecting the lives of the american people and securing the country on our borders. many lawmakers, especially the democrats, ignored the crisis at the southern border. they say it s manufactured. one month ago, speaker pelosi vowed that congress wouldn t spend more than $1 on a border wall. it was immoral. but as turns out, she is a little off. take a look. i went through congress. i made a deal. i got almost $1.4 billion when i wasn t supposed to get one dollar. not one dollar. he is not going to get one dollar.oi well, i got $1.4 billion. but i m not happy with it. sean: nor am i. the president is right. he got $1.375 billion for the wall and a bill to triple the funding for barriers over the previous budget. it s only seven months, this budget. it killed the so-called poisoned pills like any amnesty. not in the bill for illegals. no pathway to citizenship.
walls work 100%. nancy knows it, chuck knows it, they all know it, and the only reason we re up here talking about this is because of the election. and this is one of the ways they think they can possibly win is by obstruction. we will have a national emergency and we will then be sued and then we ll end up in the supreme court and hopefully we ll get a fair shake and we ll win in the supreme court. jedediah: i love that. i love that he laid it all out. like listen, i m going to do this, here s what s going to happen. that s exactly what you needed. he knows lawsuits are already rolling in, that was no surprise. he realized he was backed into a corner. he didn t know what else to do. it is a national emergency. we already went through the shutdown. democrats aren t budging. one thing people are asking if he brings in the money, where will the money be coming from. $1.375 billion is the dhs appropriation coming from the bill. $2.5 billion d.o.d. counter drug support. $3.5 billion, d.o.d
but turns out she is off. take a look. president trump: i went through congress. i made a deal. i got almost $1.4 billion when i wasn t supposed to get one dollar. not one dollar. he is not going to get one i m not happy with it. sean: nor am i. the president is right. he got $1.375 billion for the wall and a bill to trip the funding for barriers over the previous budget. only seven months this budget. it killed the so-called poisoned pill like any amnesty. not in the bill. no pathway to citizen. no limit on i.c.e. detention. instead of a limit the bill funds 5,000 more beds for illegal immigrant detention. remember the far left radical socialist democrats calling for i.c.e. to be abolished? this includes money for 600 highly-needed professional officers. still, you heard the president. he is not happy.
