majority is necessary to overturn, trump moving around money, i suspect the law will be found unconstitutional. what i don t get is why take it on this way when if he wanted to do it fast, this is going to assure him delay because he will be hung up in the courts. then he will are to i have to a land. he got allocated enough money that they can t spend in one year. as he points out, i have a lot of money to build wall. that s why i m building. it s not true he is building any. he does have $680 million sitting there because building takes time. even when they appropriate money, it doesn t get spent in that year. why do this? i want to go back to the point and i will answer your question. there are three ways they have moved the money. one has to do with the department of defense. let s talk about the military portion of this. to support the troops is in the statute. supporting the troops means we have thousands of troops along
of course, he argues nafta is going to pay for it. that s neither here nor there. my son argues that crayons take like their colors. his base wanted the wall and they are going to get the beginnings of the wall. by the way, i disagree. the president s primary responsibility constitutionally is preserve and protect and defend the constitution and the people of the united states. this is about security. this is about our nation s sovereignty. israel builds walls to protect its sovereignty. they are right to do so. we should do the same. nancy pelosi is wrong when she says border security or walls are immoral. howard dean, rebuttal. there is no rebuttal. this is trump s fantasy. nobody believes this stuff. the only people who believe this who trump said during the campaign he could shoot somebody on fifth avenue and his base wouldn t leave him. that s true. his base is only between 35 and 40%. i don t know why he is doing this.
isn t one, it s going to come back. should that be something you are concerned about? look, what i prefer that the democrats within congress came to their senses and offered again in terms of a negotiation what they had offered before? yes. i would have preferred it done that way. 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.
i suspect when this gets into the weeds, the fact that a super majority is necessary to overturn, trump moving around money, i suspect the law will be found unconstitutional. what i don t get is why take it on this way when if he wanted to do it fast, this is going to assure him delay because he will be hung up in the courts. then he will have to allocate land. and a new bunch of lawsuits on that. he got allocated enough money that they can t spend in one year. as he points out, i have a lot of money to build wall. that s why i m building. it s not true he is building any. he does have $680 million sitting there because building takes time. even when they appropriate money, it doesn t get spent in that year. why do this? i want to go back to the point and i will answer your question. there are three ways they have moved the money. one has to do with the department of defense. let s talk about the military portion of this.
as they were five more people murdered today by a nut case with a gun. this is a bad idea to overturn the constitution. i don t believe that justice roberts, who is a very conservative guy, but does believe what the constitution says, i don t believe he will allow this to happen. i don t. the long-term implications, which trump never thinks about, the long-term implications are bad for the country. congress was set up to control the purse. there s a good reason for that. the founding fathers wrote the constitution in case somebody like trump came along. 250 years later, here we. republicans who go full gumby to state on the side of this president did not want him to do this. if you open this door, it smacks of when mcconnell said to harry reid and the democrats, if you do this with the filibuster, it will come back to haunt you. if you declare an emergency that
