To mount juliet, tennessee. Christy walked in for a get together and got the surprise of her life. Not a dry eye in that house. Thanks for joining us. Busy day. Im dana perino. Heres shep. Shepard a live look, the Eisenhower Executive Office building next to the west wing where were about to hear live from the president in the wake of an extraordinary morning. The pressure on President Trump accelerating and in moments hes scheduled to speak. Two big issues, first, the president s decision to withdraw troops from syria. Widely criticized by members of his own party, his own advisers and generals and cabinet. Our own reporting that he stopped listening to top leadership, didnt inform our allies or the pentagon. Hes getting praise from putin and condemnation from conservatives. At the same time, in the face of pressure to build that wall, the newly announced presi ....
That may have bolstered that claim. for example, had he referred to the wall as more of a military fortificati fortification. the statutes depend on things like military support. if the wall has nothing at all to do with military support, a court, and ultimately the supreme court, macy conclude tht isn t a good enough reason, building a slat fence, to support the military. the reality is, there are dozens, even hundreds of national emergency provisions that become unlocked the second the president says national emergency. if it is not military support, may be drug intervention or something else. gabby, white house senior adviser steven miller seemed to struggle to defend the whole thing on fox news. when did national emergencies promote democracy in zimbabwe. congress didn t refuse to appropriate it. they said the president could have the authority. it is in the statue. that is a decision congress ....
This could be where this is heading as long as there s not some last minute curve ball from president trump. it s obvious how this deal looks like. he goes back and forth on messaging. either it s being built or we need to shutdown the government or declare a national emergency to build it. you just take what you can get in this negotiation, do the same next year and then you have a convention video with this slat fence that will look quite impressive and that seems to me the most realistic alternative. because the national emergency is not another way to win, it s just another way to lose. even if you win in the supreme court, that s 12, 18 months of nothing happening. you said the word realistic, and so that s so last century. that s not the trump presidency. so, yeah, that deal is obviously there. and it s about semantics. but will the president take it or will he blow it up at the last minute? ....
Word games about whether to call the wall the wall. he typed into the twitter machine, quote, let s just call them walls from now on and stop playing political games. a wall is a wall. not only did the president invent this game, he wrote all the rules, he broke them, he changed them, he rewrote them and then he changed them again. a wall is a wall, he says. but he didn t always seem to think so. we re going to build a wall. and it s going to be impenetrable. it will be a real wall. it s not a fence. it s a wall. you just misreported it there. could be some fencing. you go back to 2006, they all approved essentially a wall, a very powerful fence, which is pretty much the same thing. a wall. or a slat fence, or whatever you want to call it. the wall, a fence, whatever they d like to call it. i ll call it whatever they want, but it s all the same thing. you could call it a steel fence. this wall or fence or anything the democrats need to call it. they can name it whatever ....
Isn t built at all. in under 20 seconds, watch the president end up where he started. i will build a great, great wall. powerful wall. as beautiful as a wall can be. precast concrete, going very high. wall or fence. there could be some fencing. has to be see-through. you could call it a steel fence. we ll build a steel barrier. or a slat fence. and now a wall is a wall. oh, wait, we left out the best one. name it peaches. i don t care what they name it. reporter: just the other day presidential counselor kellyanne conway was counseling reporters not to use the word wall. i m asking why you and the polling questions respectfully are still saying wall when the president said you can call it whatever you want. it s a great slogan. build a wall and crime will fall. why can t we call it a wall when he calls it a wall? reporter: besides, build a slab fence, it s the best defense, doesn t have quite the same ring. ....
