border. nothing about this wall is all push is reasonable. then there s this constant factless reframe. in the antime, i built a lot of wall. i have a lot of money. i built a lot of wall. he is right, they did have a lot of money, $680 million. why was he desperate for a big price tag? he is wrong. zero miles. do you see the number ? none has been built. they are repairing parts. they are upgrading barriers. he hasn t built anything new, not yet. we have been saying that to you. still, it s clear this president isn t listening even when the facts are right in front of him. listen. you don t really believe that. do you? i get my numbers from a lot of sources. they say it comes through the port of entries. wrong. it s wrong. it s a lie. it s all a lie.
it was not done that way. let me ask you something. i want to say something. my audience asks me. it s a good question. it s interesting. trump wants a big price tag, $5 billion. what do we know about the difference between appropriation and spending of money in congress? we know it by the fact that there s right now $680 million sitting in the account for money that was allocated or appropriated two years ago. they are building fencing with money from two years ago. what is the question about a big price tag? why not do it year by year? they don t even spend the money. he just wants the price tag because it looks good, not because there s more wall built. no. first of all, the amount of monies that we re talking about when you talk about a budget i don t know the exact amount. probably approaching a $1 trillion budget is pennies. they don t spend it. the full $8 billion. you know, that s going to be the president s job to execute it.
like if this actually gets done, this is one of the people who would do it, he said, you know, we will never build anywhere near what we still need in the next 7 years let alone during this term. so this is about optics. this is ant thbout this preside saying i got something done even though it will never get done. meaning that logistically you cannot expend that much money but first of all there s $680 million from the last two years that is unspent. so where is the emergency? number one. number two, if he goes to the military construction budgets, you have a lot of republicans as you were pointing out in districts across the country that fought for that money to be put for projects in their district. there s only 50 million of that military construction budget that is fluid, that the president could yank. yeah, there s some treasury forfeiture money that arguably he could spend but as rick points out, this stuff has
is. one of my sources involved in the actual plan for it. on the ground. if this gets done this is one of the people who will do it. we will never build anywhere near what we still need in the next seven years. let alone during this term. so this is about optics. this is about the president saying i got something done. even though it will never get done. right. meaning that logistically you cannot spend that much money to build a wall. yes. first of all there s $680 million from the last two years unspent. where is the emergency? number one. number two, if he goes to the military construction budget. you have a lot of republicans in districts across the krunt that fought for the money to be put for projects in the district. there s only 50 million of the military construction budget that is fluid. that the president can yank.
emergency declaration. he could get $680 million from treasury forfeiture funds. that sounds like burning a hole in the pocket of congress. the pentagon s counter-narcotics funds which might be defeating the purpose of fighting drugs at the border. $3 billion from the army corps of engineers and military construction funds. it was interesting to watch sean hannity monday night when news of the potential deal started leaking. he was very exercised about how bad the deal was. he was worked up in a lather. he s somehow worked his way around to liking it. here is sean hannity on both sides. $1.3 billion? that s not not even a wall, but a barrier? i m going to say this tonight and we ll get into it tomorrow.
