all-outs a su all-out assault to reel in the emergency declaration of the president to get his wall. and several lawsuits have been filed to block the president s plan, but has he already done the work for them? i didn t need to do this. but i would rather do it much faster, and i don t have to do it for the election, because i have done a lot of wall for the election. 2020. and if robert mueller gets his way, the president s former campaign manager could spend the rest of his life behind bars for lying to the feds on purpose. who is paul manafort trying to protect? that is the big question. and we start with president trump back at his golf course in mar-a-lago hours of course after declaring a national emergency to get the taxpayers to pill $8 billion for his border wall that mexico was supposed to play for. and evidently the emergency
senators, a lot of them won t like that option. and then that creates all kinds of new problems, too. i hope that the legislative morass gets untangled in the next four days. i think trump will go to the emergency option if he has to. you heard her say even republicans won t go along with it. but they are going along with his demands right now, joe. when republicans controlled congress, this didn t come up. this could have been resolved then. i think they re uncomfortable with it but they won t oppose the president. donald trump has managed to seize control of the republican party and all of these men and women, in particular in the senate, know when they face re-election in 2020, if trump says you ve crossed me, they ll have a hard time winning. i think there s a little bit of context for all of this. and it s been forgotten a little bit. trump made immigration and the wall the central issue of the midterms.
coming on planes? it s not just coming in on the southern border. these billion dollars a year operations, they have to get their products into america. if it gets into the planes ventilation system or the food supply. this is the thing the public doesn t realize. this is not a political issue. this is the security of our country and our kids. sean: back to dan. i know you are strong on the issue. lindsey graham is holding the line. many republicans will, but there are those who have no backbone. i have no respect if the republican party doesn t back the president when he uses the military or the emergency option. as commander-in-chief, that s his job. he score an oath to protect our constitution, our rule of law. more importantly, i am a member of the homeland security committee. this is not the president s
unit, the new york drug tax force. that was in on planes. is not just coming in on the southern border.on these billion dollar a year ofhe operations, they have to get their products into america. so, yeah, if it gets into the plane s ventilation system, into the food supply, so this is the thing the public doesn t realize, sean. this is not a political issue. this is the security of our country and our people prayed sean: let back to dan. i know you are strong on the issue, lindsey graham, he s holding the line, many nyrepublicans will, but there s always those that have no backbone. i have no respect if the republican party doesn t back the president when he uses the military or the emergency option i don t care which option. as commander-in-chief, that is his job. he swore an oath to protect our constitution, rule of law. more importantly, i m a member of the homeland security committee. this isn t even the president
