Sean its misinformation and its fake news. We all know that, every minute, every second, every hour every day, every year. If we are not the destroytrump media. Thank you for being with us, let not your heart be troubled. Graham, big show. Laura hannity, you know what i was thinking . We should do our own Public Service announcement and we can film it and it would be fun. If you have tds lasting longer than five hours consult a physician. Trump derangement syndrome, right . Sean whatever you say is right. I didnt hear half of what you said. Laura tds. If you have it longer than five hours you should see a physicia physician. I never understood that commercial with the two tabs. Isnt that defeating the point, the two tubs . You are totally behind me today. I dont think you can keep up. Sean is not that im behind you, i cant really hear you. Laura hannity cant hear
me, so why are we even talking . Im just going to do hand puppets. Sean you keep talking, im going to nod my head yes. Yes,
they re not going to be able to do. welcome back to state of the union. i m dana bash. president trump, you heard him there, seeming to undercut his own argument that there is an emergency at the border. we ve got my panel with me. let s discuss. senator santorum, let s start with you. you are a republican who his expressed reservations about using this executive power. if you were in the senate still, would you vote on that principle or vote with the president? look, i think the president has the authority to do it. so it s hard for me as a senator to say, well, i disagree with him on the principle that he could exercise national emergency. he can. congress gave him broad authority to do it. should he have done it in this instance? the answer is, no. i think he could have done in fact, most of the money if you look at his spending, he could have spent that without declaring a national emergency.
the law does give the president broad discretion on when to invoke the statutes. and congress has never really defined what a national emergency is. why is it unconstitutional? because this is the first time a president has tried to declare an emergency when congress explicitly rejected funding for the particular project that the president is advocating. and in saying just the other day that he didn t really need to do this. he just wanted to do it because it would help things go faster. he s pretty much daring the court to strike this down. so it s hard to imagine a poorer case but i ll say this. it s going to be a real test for my gop colleagues in congress in their devotion to the institution if we give away, r surrender the power of the purse, our most important power. there will be little check and no balance left. it will not be a separation of powers anymore. just a separation of parties. so this will be a moment of
nearing an end, house democrats say their probe is only just beginning. will they accept the special counsel s results? we ll ask the chairman of the house intelligence committee next. and a top trump adviser call president obama imperial for trying to get around the will of congress. but what about now that president trump is doing the same thing. stay with us. r in your family s, coke, dr pepper and pepsi hear you. we re working together to do just that. bringing you more great tasting beverages with less sugar or no sugar at all. smaller portion sizes, clear calorie labels and reminders to think balance. because we know mom wants what s best. more beverage choices, smaller portions, less sugar. balanceus.org got it. ran out of ink and i have a big meeting today. and 2 boxes of twizzlers. yeah, uh.for the team. the team? gooo team.
desk that will pass a veto, but i think we should put it on his desk and let him know the elected officials of congress, republican and democrat alike, object to him going around congress. but the big difference here is what the president did on daca, president obama, and what he did on the obamacare. both were counter to what the congress wanted, just like what this president is doing. but he had absolutely no authority to do so, none. in this case, congress passed a law called the national emergencies act which gives the president broad authority to do it. this is not a constitutional issue. this is unlike what obama did. obama was blatant and unconstitutional. here s the problem. no democrat fought obama. everyone said oh, he s doing what we want so we re all for it. and that s the dishonesty that we re seeing out of the democratic party. it was clear there was no authority whatsoever to do it. they didn t oppose it. i m sorry, can we just i don t think he should
