to execute. just before i let you go here, a quick note from one of our folks here at cnn, who is a law enforcement expert, says no-fly zone, terrible idea, leads to world war iii, u.s. shoots down a russian jet, world war iii. what do you think of that? well, chances are, it wouldn t go that far, depending on who is on that jet. remember we had the incident with the mh-17, malaysian airliner shot down over eastern ukraine, at the beginning of this whole episode in 2014. that kind of thing results in a lot of tension. it may not result in a war. but there s always the risk that it could. i think it would be a very difficult thing to execute. tensions would possibly increase. and they would have to be managed very, very carefully. colonel, thank you very much. learned a lot, as usual. appreciate it. you bet, don. ukraine s capital under
litigated because congress, whose job it is to determine funding on things like the wall, made a determination that they wouldn t be funding 2,000 miles of wall, which is what the president initially asked for. so it will immediately be litigated. i think that s a meritorious lawsuit. when you think about it, again, congress has the power to dictate, you know, the length and structure of the wall. frankly, all other matters of border security, drones and boots on the ground and stuff like that. when the president wants to go around that by taking money from other sources, that s going to litigation. nancy, this declaration of what robert says is possible would be a step under national emergency. i m just trying to get out ahead of some of the spin we might hear. is that correct? that s right. so what it would do is basically an executive order, and we ve seen the president use that executive authority a lot, but it wouldn t go as far as declaring a national emergency, which conserv

an executive order, and we ve seen the president use that executive authority a lot, but it wouldn t go as far as declaring a national emergency, which conservatives have expressed discomfort with, saying it would set a precedent they don t feel comfortable with. what this executive order would do would be to take money, existing money within the federal budget. our reporting has shown it would probably take money from military construction projects. it could take money from disaster relief, particularly disaster relief for california and puerto rico, to blue states. it would also potentially have some flood dam projects in california. that s really the pockets of money that the white house is eyeing. i would like to say not just, you know, along with what elliot said, it wouldn t just immediately cause litigation and legal challenges, i think there would be a real outcry in congress as well because each of these districts and military housing, you know, there s a
whether or not we had an obligation to inform khashoggi that he was in danger. let me go to eli, my friend. it seems to me if we threw this case that they ve thrown at us before at an american jury, it wouldn t go very far. 15 guys got into a boxing match and a guy died? but we couldn t tell you for 17 days. right. and you re supposed to believe this investigation that s coming, that the crown prince is supposedly going to be leading. like nixon was leading the cover-up vex. yes, you re right. but these are not normal times. we live in such a tribal polarized country right now. you see the president. his actions, they re not like a president before him in terms of responding to this situation. but you see it at every turn of this. he is very reluctant. he didn t acknowledge khashoggi was dead until yesterday. today he is asked about this. he is saying yeah, he is dead. we re getting more information. i ll listen to congress.
