Legislative process designed by our founders, today, i am vetoing this resolution. congress has the freedom to pass this resolution. and i have the duty to veto it. and i m very proud to veto it. and i m very proud, as i said, of a lot of republican senators that were with me. now, ahead of the vote this week, the white house had pressured republican senators to vote against the resolution. the white house viewing it as a loyalty test for republicans, whether they would stick with the president. whether they would break ranks. obviously, a dozen senate republicans chose to vote with democrats against the president s use of the national emergency in what amounts as a major rebuke of trump attempt to get wall money. but it does appear that his invite toe will be withstood by any attempts by congress to try to override it. ....
And two airplanes grounded. what happened minutes after takeoff. we started with president trump s budget on building the border wall. he just released his 2020 budget which includes a slash to domestic projects. democrats shot down this offer before the budget was even brought forward. they said, congress refused to fund his wall and he was forced to admit defeat and reopen the government. the same thing will repeat itself if he tries this again. we hope he learned his lesson. the president asked for wall money, about $5.7 billion initially. that was rejected by democrats that led to that government shutdown, the longest in history, but now the president going even further, asking for $8.6 billion for wall money in addition to $3.6 billion that would actually be refunded from ....
Something he can run on and this is a good message for his base, and so clearly he wants to keep that out center even though he s using the national emergency to try to do this at the same time. i ve been sort of a skeptic of the coverage of the budget process long before president trump came to office. i think it s perhaps the most overcovered event in washington every winter, the president s proposal. because the congress is going to do what the congress does. yes, it offers some insights under the president s authorities. maybe that worked for past presidents. how much is this president even engaged in this budget document? is he even aware of some of the sort of top lines for his health department or hud? the thing that struck me in this budget was the request for wall money, which wasn t included in previous budgets at this amount, and it struck me as a concession of defeat. they wouldn t be asking for money to build the wall if they ....
Morning. will it fly? amid cuts in basically every department, one number stands out above the rest setting up yet another show down with democrats. the president is asking for $8.6 billion for his border wall. that s even more than he will get this year by declaring a national emergency which he did after congress refused to give him anywhere near this figure. the president lost this battle in both houses including the republican controlled senate for less money. he is asking for more in the budget. do they expect to get it? is this about 2020 electi electioneering. reporter: a statement of priorities. it tells the congress and the rest of the country what the president wants to do so it should be no surprise that in the president s budget he is asking for more wall money. he hinted at this when he ....
Post, cnn s manu raju and politico s roger johnson. i want to note that inslee put out a statement that said, quote, the president s budgannu budget proposal is the first step in the federal budget process and will allow us to consider how his priorities align with the priorities of congress. you re on the hill every day. how do republicans say what s being sent to capitol hill? i think when they try to push for the president s money for the wall, they realize he s not going to get $8.6 billion. he couldn t get his original amount with the shutdown. they re going to put off the very difficult issues like the funding for the wall until the very end, right before the end of this current fiscal year. ....
