sean: i believe that as well. let s break down exactly what this means. as the president declares a national emergency the administration will gain access to $8 billion. the president can use the $1.375 billion from the budget compromise. so progress continues for the rest of the fiscal year through october. they will get $2.5 billion from the department of the interdiction program. $3.6 billion from the department of defense military construction account. he knows the democrats as we predicted they will go judge shopping. they will challenge this action in court. but the efforts ultimately will come up short. one constitutional scholar after another agrees with us. the president standing on firm legal ground. look at the u.s. code. law passed by congress signed
supreme court. it was an honest moment going through, i am ready for it, we are going to get to the supreme court, a lot of people asking where the money will come from and we will let you know, $1.375 billion in dhs appropriations from the bill, dod counter drug support, 3.5 billion military construction budget, 600 million from the treasury department. i love that even though it is the smallest number, that is el chapo. the treasury department put out a press release saying at least some of that 600 is el chapo money. ted cruz was one of the first who said we should get this money from el chapo, he is probably sitting there saying well done.
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. nor should anybody be happy. because $1.375 billion for a wall is not enough. it s why i have called this bill garbage from the beginning and why the president is now officially as of today declaring the national emergency that he has been telegraphing to the world he is going to do. take a look. president trump: so i m going to be signing a national emergency. what we want to do is simple. it s not complicated.
we want to stop drugs from coming in the country. we want to stop criminals and gangs from coming in the country. it s annv invasion. we have an invasion of drugs and criminals coming into our country that we stop but it s very hard to stop. with a wallet would be very easy. so i think we will be very successful in court. sean: i believe that as well. let s break down exactly what this means. and by this plan will ultimately be very successful. as the president declares a national emergency, the administration will gain access to roughly $8 billion.me the president will be able to use the $1.375 billion from the budget compromise, so progress continues it straight through the rest of the fiscal year, which is until october. $600 million from the treasury department, $2.5 billion from the department of defense s drug interdiction program, an
was a step backwards for the president. but we had dan bongino on. here s what he said about who actually won the fight. i don t think the democrats understand how badly they got owned on this thing on the funding side. he did the funding sequentially meaning by the time he gets to the national emergency funding, they have to spend $1.375 billion allocated according to the bill. the $600 million from the treasury fund s perfectly legal. the other two billion from the other funds, by the time he gets to the $3 billion plus there, the wall s already being built. griff: that s the strategy. jedediah mentioned salutes earlier. i will be reporting all week long, i m sure, about the number of lawsuits coming. look at the headlines already. this from daily caller, trump was sued over his national emergency declaration in less than six hours. jedediah: six hours. griff: the hill, aclu announces lawsuit against trump over
