against him. brian: the washington post reports that mitch mcconnell got a call from the white house saying the more i m reading this bill i don t want to sign it mitch mcconnell was beginning to panic what do you mean you are not going to sign it you have got to sign it we have got to fund the government. it s a terrible bill full of poison pills. steve: it is. brian: i want to make sure that i can declare state of emergency because i have got and been working on the past three months ways to get additional funding to the tune of $8 billion. so if i can do that and you are going to back that i the sign. this mitch mcconnell said fine, i will do it. he said we will vote on it they voted first. they got 83 votes. more than enough. the house would vote later. get more than enough. then mitch mcconnell would say the president also plans on declaring a state of emergency. ainsley: legislation falls short. he says i m going to find other ways to get that money. you are giving me 1.4 billi
about for a while. three hours from now president trump out in the rose garden will declare a national emergency over border security then is going to sign make spending bill. brian: congress passing a measure overnight in the hopes of stopping another government shutdown. it was successful. it doesn t end there. ainsley: kevin corke joins us live from the house where the president will address the nation. kevin? good morning, folks, you are right. this will be a very interesting opportunity for the president not just to talk about his mindset behind calling and declaring a national emergency. it s also very important to talk about how he intends to get money to fund national security, borders, and, of br security and building a wall on our southern border. we talked a great deal how the president would move money from different pots to try to achieve his ultimate goal. that is coming up with $25 billion to fund borders. as we take a look inside the numbers. you get a sense from wh
he is going to sign it and at the same time issue a national emergency to get more money for the wall. steve: what s going to happen after that? we told you the democrats are going to drag him into court. sure delay will happen. first, after the president declares it s a national emergency humanitarian problem at our southern border, the flow of drugs. immediately after he does that house judiciary chairman jerry nadler is going to introduce into the house a resolution of disapproval that would overturn the president s emergency declaration that s the way the law was written. if it passes it will pass the house by a simple majority. then it goes to the senate. if they get 51 votes in the thasenate, then essentially the president would be out of luck. he would then have to veto it, which would be the first veto of his administration. but, if he cannot get 512349 55n the senate. that makes him look bad because republicans voted
house and then the senate. it will probably pass the house. but then it could actually pass in the senate because there are some republicans who do not like the fact that the president is going to declare a national emergency. ainsley: as soon as the president said national emergency, almost instantly he was met with fierce criticism by the democrats. listen. declaring a national emergency where there is no national emergency is not good for the president to do. declaring a national emergency would be a lawless act. i think all of us will come to regret this. this is not the right way for the president to try and end run congress. if it were an emergency every time a president the united states couldn t get what they wanted from congress we would be in a constant state of emergency. we fought the revolutionary war not to have king george or a successor. this is the actions of a king. and no matter which route he takes it, will be challenged in the courts. brian: it s called 197
do you file it? well, can i tell you i hope the house of representatives is not foolish enough to file as an entire house the way they did when i represented them because they could lose that important victory that we secured not that long ago. they don t have to do that. they can go down to the texas border. find some rancher that will be subject to seizure of their land. those people have standing. they can sue it will go probably to the d.c. district court. it could happen in some other jurisdictions. and the court will have to decide if it s going to enjoin this construction. i don t think it will because they have a green light to start construction. now, the court might enjoin some sources of funding. but, that s not going to change much. that building is going to start along that line. if the court. brian: with the 1 pin 3 it will start building. county president begin with the 8 that he found in
