Trump news on Youtube Jan 5 2019

Donald Trump has said his proposed border wall cannot be 'immoral' because the Vatican City has its own 40ft defenses

Speaking at the White House after meeting congressional Democrats yesterday he said the Vatican 'has the biggest wall of them all'

Drones flying above the border could only take 'nice pictures' and only a wall would stop people crossing illegally from Mexico, he said

The President has demanded $5billion to fund the wall he promised voters in 2016 but Democrats have refused to pay it, forcing a partial shutdown

'When they say the wall's immoral - well then you'd better do something about the Vatican, because the Vatican has the biggest wall of them all,' Trump said at the White House on Wednesday

'The wall is immoral? Look at all of the countries that have walls, and they work 100 per cent

'It's never going to change.A wall is a wall.We can have all the drones flying over the people last night as they tried to rush the border

'The only thing that stopped them was the wall.If we have drones up there it's wonderful, we'll get nice pictures'

The Vatican - the world's smallest sovereign state - is surrounded by high walls although visitors are free to enter and wander around St Peter's Square

The 40-foot stone walls were originally built in 852 on the orders of Pope Leo IV following a devastating raid by Arab attackers

In the 1640s, Pope Paul III expanded the fortifications, and added additional defenses

The Pope's Swiss Guard, established in 1506 by Pope Julius II and uniformed in blue, red, orange, and yellow, is still responsible for protecting him

Nancy Pelosi has said the Democrats will pay 'nothing for the wall' as the stand-off in Washington continues

A similar row erupted during the 2016 election campaign when Pope Francis said it was 'not Christian' to build walls rather than 'building bridges'

Trump aide Dan Scavino hit back on Twitter with a map of the Vatican and its fortifications, saying: 'Amazing comments from the Pope- considering Vatican City is 100% surrounded by massive walls

' The President has also pointed to security defenses at Barack Obama's home in Washington as justification for his border wall

He tweeted: 'President and Mrs.Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C.mansion/compound

I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security.The U.S.needs the same thing, slightly larger version!'

Washington is reportedly searching for a venue for the 2nd North Korea-U.S. summit, that's

expected to take place sometime this month or the next.

CNN, citing two sources familiar with the organization, reported earlier this week that

teams had been sent to multiple locations during the last few weeks of 2018.

U.S. officials have not formally shared these locations with North Korea.

Trump expressed hopes of meeting Kim early this year, the North Korean leader, in his

New Year's speech, also said he is ready to sit down with his American counterpart again

anytime.

Vietnam, Indonesia, Hawaii, Mongolia and the demilitarized zone at the inter-Korean border

have been mentioned by sources and experts as potential summit venues.

DONALD TRUMP JUST BLEW THE LID OFF ONE OF THE BIGGEST SCANDALS IN AMERICAN HISTORY - Duration: 11:41.

DONALD TRUMP JUST BLEW THE LID OFF ONE OF THE BIGGEST SCANDALS IN AMERICAN HISTORY

Donald Trump vowed to be the Law and Order president.

And unlike his predecessor, he is putting American citizens first.

His policies are cracking down on criminals and violent gangs, which in turn is providing

a safer environment for U.S. citizens.

Now, because of his administration's tireless efforts, one vile thorn in our side is suffering

huge setbacks.

From Fox News:

"The ongoing state and Trump administration crackdown against MS-13 in one of their most

infamous strongholds has taken such a toll on the gang that they've only been linked

to a single murder in the area during 2018…

Trump, in a visit to Long Island last summer, vowed to 'liberate our towns' from MS-13's

grip, and he has a made a crackdown on the gang one of the focal points of his administration.

'We will find you, we will arrest you, we will jail you and we will deport you,' Trump

has said, garnering applause from an audience of law enforcement officials."

ICE has made Long Island a major priority; they remain an active presence in the region,

arresting many suspected MS-13 gang members.

However, while we celebrate the success, we have to ask: why did Long Island become such

a breeding ground for this scum?

One word: Democrats.

The bottom line is that liberal New York State leaders made it a safe haven for criminal

aliens.

Long Island is run by corrupt, liberal mayors who look the other way when illegals invade

the region, and THIS is the result.

Only President Trump and ICE are doing anything to keep these communities safe … despite

the liberal pushback.

But so much more needs to be done.

MS-13 continues to waltz into our country, unhindered, because of our open border.

These cartel members use our Southern border like a revolving door, and they keep using

it, over and over.

Only when the WALL is built will these criminals be kept out

for good!

like infrastructure and so much more I know they want to do that very badly so

do I so hopefully we're gonna have a lot of things that we can get done together

and I think it's actually going to work out I think it'll be a little bit

different than a lot of people are thinking so I congratulate Nancy

tremendous tremendous achievement and I just wanted to explain to folks that I'm

with on the day as people I've known very well over the last two years people

that have been extremely supportive of what we're doing on the border they're

tough they're smart they think they love our country they if they have every

quality and I'll tell you what I really know them well and they have the kind of

qualities that we need in our country and they've done a fantastic job at the

border it's ice and it's Border Patrol and a man who's really become a friend

in a sense Brandon I will say this Brandon Judd has been a stalwart in

terms of justice for people in terms of fairness and in terms of the toughness

you need you have some pretty tough situations it doesn't get much tougher

so I just want to thank Brandon and all of the folks I'm gonna have them

introduce themselves right now and also say a few words about the wall about you

can go out a barrier you can call it whatever you want but essentially we

need protection in our country we're gonna make it good the people of our

country want it I have never had so much support as I have in the last week over

my stance for border security for border control and for frankly the wall or the

barrier I have never had anything like it in terms of calls coming in in terms

of people writing in and eating and doing whatever they have to

do I've never had this much support and we've done some things that as you know

I've been very popular so I'm gonna ask Brendan judge to just step forward and

say a few words this group is apprehended last year

17,000 criminals trying to get across the border 17,000 and that's one

category there are plenty of others the other thing that has been so incredible

is what they've done in terms of drugs and stopping drugs and with that and

with everything else plenty unfortunately come through our

southern border what I'm gonna ask Brandon to come up say a few words and

maybe introduce our friends and some very brave people

Brandon place thank you thank you president we really appreciate all the

support that you've given the the border patrol we appreciate the support that

you've given ice my name is Brandon Jed I'm the president of the National Border

Patrol Council I've been a baurel agent for 21 years I can personally tell you

from the work that I have done on the southwest border that physical barriers

that walls actually work you hear a lot of talk from the expert that you hear a

lot of talk that there are experts that say that walls don't work I promise you

that if you interview Border Patrol agents they will tell you that walls

work I worked in NACO Arizona for ten years

we didn't have physical barriers in NACO and illegal immigration and drug

smuggling was absolutely out of control we built those walls those physical

barriers and illegal immigration dropped exponentially anywhere that you look

where we have built walls they have worked they have been an absolute

necessity for Border Patrol agents in securing the border we need those

physical barriers and we appreciate President Trump and all of his efforts

in getting us those physical barriers there's also a lot of talk on this

shutdown that federal employees do not agree with the shutdown I will tell you

that's not true and with that I'd like to introduce art doc wet though he is

the vice president of the National Board Council he's also a longtime Border

Patrol agent out of the Tucson Sector and he's

he'd like to say a few words about the shutdown thank you thank you everybody

once again my name is art Del Greco I am a vice president with the National

Border Patrol Council I want everybody to take the time to understand what's

going on we were all affected by this shutdown we have skin in the game

however it comes down to border security and we are extremely grateful to

President Trump and we fully support what he is doing to take care of our

nation's borders to take care of the future of this United States it has

nothing to do with political parties you all gotta ask yourself this question if

I come to your home do you want me to knock on the front door or do you want

me to climb through that window we fully support the president and all his

efforts to secure our nation's borders

hello everyone my name is Hector Garza I'm the vice president of the National

Border Patrol Council I am also a border patrol agent of the Texas border I just

want to talk about some of those criminals that Border Patrol agents

apprehend on a daily basis we're talking about murderers rapists people that

commit very serious crimes in this country ice has been doing an amazing

job in deporting a lot of these people back to their countries unfortunately

once we can port these people these people will not stay in their country

these criminal aliens that have been released from jail that have been

deported will come right back into the United States however we had a physical

barrier if we had a wall we will be able to stop that again we will thank

President Trump for advocating for Border Patrol agents and again we asked

her congressman to fund border security and fund the border wall thank you so

this meeting was set up a long time ago it just came at a very opportune time

and I thought we were all sitting in the Oval Office working on different plans

and different ways of stopping the problems that we have in our country and

other countries have problems but nobody like ours so the economy makes it even

more so the economy is bringing people in because we're doing so well with the

economy unemployment is now 3.7 percent and

that's among the lowest we've ever had lowest in 50 years and among certain

groups it's the lowest historically so I just appreciate them being here I said

let's go out see the press you can tell them about the importance of the wall

they basically said and I think I can take the word basically out without a

wall you cannot have border security without a very for strong form of

barrier call it what you will but without a wall you cannot have border

security it won't work you see what's just been put out on social media where

thousands of people are rushing the border having a drone fly overhead and I

think nobody knows much more about technology this type of technology

certainly than I do having drones and various other form of

sensors they're all fine but they're not going to stop the problems that this

country has we've never had more people wanting to come to the United States and

that has to do with the economy and has to do with a lot of other things where

we're doing great as a country but the better we do the more people want to

come in so folks I just want to thank you very much it's an honor to be with

you and I'm glad you came I'm glad we came out here and first time I've ever

done this is the first time I've done it I've done it for you and I'm very proud

of that because you have done a fantastic job and I want to thank you

all first thank you very much thank you all very much appreciate it thank you

president Trump raising the stakes of the standoff over building the border

wall during day 13 of the government shutdown the president appearing in the

White House press briefing room surrounded by immigration and law

enforcement officials to say he's not backing down

those same officials supporting the president's call for more border

security a stalemate over money for the border wall set to intensify with

Democrats retaking control of the House Nancy Pelosi is promising to put

pressure on President Trump and Republicans after reclaiming the gavel

and the speakership just hours ago Pelosi is also insisting she's not

budging on coughing up money for the wall all this comes as President Trump

invites congressional leaders back to the White House tomorrow for more

shutdown talks after a contentious briefing on border security yesterday

all right so Dan on a day when and all the attention was on Nancy

Pelosi speaker Pelosi big ceremony and all the nightly newscasts we're going to

leave with that the president comes in at the end of the day and holds this big

press briefing surrounded by ice agents and Border Patrol agents and kind of

stole her Thunder a little bit yeah I thought that was pretty effective did

you it is I think the GOP is generally had a problem over the last few decades

not with the message but with messaging I mean the general idea of low taxes

border security health care freedom and choice resonates with the majority of

Americans the problem is our messaging is terrible we never managed to fit

things on a Wheaties box in other words everything we go to like a methadone

clinic and we're talking about 401ks and the Laffer curve we've never been able

to say it as easily as Trump this is about border security that's his message

right now it's clear he has he's a master at taking over the microphone and

he just did it again and this press conference I think it was a brilliant

idea to come out be snappy get off the stage and it's a nice response to

speaker Pelosi who's been saying for almost a year

walls don't work and you have people all in the border experts who've done this

their whole lives saying everywhere we've put a barrier they've stopped

illegal immigration and you have other experts who say we don't need the kind

of wall that Donald Trump's talking about we need something in the middle of

that so there's a whole list of them you name one will hurt who is a former CIA

officer congressman from Texas on the Contras these guys because they're down

there blinkin member of Congress from Texas who says it's the most costly

least effective way to do border security so there is a difference that I

don't believe that at all okay well it's true the CIA don't come after me but

here is clear so Donald Trump didn't hold a press conference he didn't take

any questions so let's just although that was smart because he takes

questions and then he steps on the message that's true

so two points though on this first you've had the first Republican senator

today Cory Gardner from Colorado come out and say the government should reopen

with no wall funding there are senators on the Republican side who are

vulnerable here who may decide that they will vote for something the House passes

with no wall funding this is a numbers game for the president at this point the

other point I would make is that a lot of people in cable pundits are including

myself have started talking about this daca for wall funding swap my question

is is that even being talked about inside the

negotiating room because you don't hear about it from Trump or the White House

you don't hear about it from Pelosi they're each sort of in their own

corners we're all talking about a possible compromise here but are they we

know something is happening inside the negotiating room the other day I think

Kirsten Nielsen Department of Homeland Security Secretary started talking about

the facts and figures on the border and Chuck and Nancy just cut her off yeah I

thought that was really mean yeah according to one White House source

truck leaned in and and said you should interrupt her right and because she was

she was presenting data and and facts and and she was presenting her case and

then speaker Pelosi comes out and says the president is allergic to data in

facts so you know clearly this is an allergy or an affliction that is

spreading to both parties and that's why we're at an impasse I also don't hear

Nancy Pelosi talking about what the house can do in terms of immigration

because everyone is hung up on the wall they're hung up on that four-letter word

and they can't get past it meanwhile you have a bunch of people who aren't

collecting paychecks others who who aren't going to work and those who are

caught in the middle trying to work in this country but by some they are being

demonized and my question for Dan is what if the wall doesn't work because

really the greatest correlation between immigration in this country and when it

proliferates is when the economy is doing really well

right now the economy is doing really well you also have a lot of illegal

immigration but you generally believe in facts and data right how do you explain

that much that there is a significant correlation between construction of

walls and the decreasing in illegal immigration traffic and drug trafficking

where there in fact there's a wall in place how would you explain that any

other way and you know the president actually just went to Instagram and

released a meme the wall is coming oh my god that's from Game of Thrones the big

picture you've been watching this that is a big picture there's a big picture

you know it's look at it from them okay as part of the media we are living in

Donald Trump's restaurant right because around 4:30 he says you know there's not

enough Trump on your pizza there's not enough Trump and

soup so he leaves the kitchen and he comes out and puts more Trump on your

plate which is what he did it for 30 which helps galvanize the media then

everybody reacts responds but here's what I wouldn't think about the real

threat to security is a rhetorical device conflation okay if you think

about the four areas of security border terror crime and let's say homeowner

home protection guns okay those are the four areas in each one of those cases

there's the device that is used to prevent any kind of improvements in that

area is conflation if you look at immigration conflate illegal immigration

with legal immigration you can't get a wall with terror

if you conflate religion with extremism you get Islamophobia that prevents any

movement in the anti-terror world if you look at policing you conflate law and

order with racism right police brutality police shootings and then when you look

at the Second Amendment you can flake gun crime with actually gun ownership so

this is at active use but tactic used by the left that isn't effective in every

area of security and it's probably most glaring here because we see that they

both agree on the same thing they both want border protection but one won't

budge because they're conflating it with bigotry it's like oh you want a wall you

don't like you don't like brown people that's what it is you don't like the

people from down so it's like it's like no actually if you asked if you asked

the Hispanics here they would actually agree that they believe it's security

too but that conflation is what is destroying every debate that's my big

Peter you say though that the Democrats and the Republicans agree they both want

border security I'm not so sure the Democrats want a hundred percent do we

approve we have proof we have them saying that's my question and I want

someone to pose that to Chuck Schumer why was that okay 2006 but it's not okay

now watch okay designating forty six billion dollars for the kind of border

security that everyone is talking about twelve or thirteen years ago now but

you're not okay with what has changed well if you're a reporter on Capitol

Hill take that question from Kennedy and then ask Kron Chuck Schumer

we can get an answer and then we can find out the truth but we got a run all

right I was just gonna say what is changed from the Senate bill that passed

a hundred to nothing under the last Congress that had no wall funding thank

you god bless you and God bless america

Idiot Trump Says He Can't Be Impeached Because He Won A "Great Election" - Duration: 5:22.

So there has been a lot of talk today, obviously about a Rashida Tlaib, a statement we're going

to impeach the motherfucker.

That is what she said on Thursday, you know, kind of coming off this high, being sworn

in, wanting to go after the Donald Trump chomping at the bit to get started at our new job in

general.

And she said this thing, the right is attacking her.

The left is attacking her because that kind of crass language can't stand.

Oh my God, we can't do that.

Well guess what?

I have no problem with what she said.

I have no problem with her attitude, with her language, with her personality.

I think hell yeah.

Come into the office with a little bit of enthusiasm and willingness to actually do

your job because believe it or not, holding the president accountable is part of the job

of congress.

So she seems right on par with where she should be.

Should she have used that language?

Who Cares?

Like if your problem is the language that she used, then you personally have bigger

problems that you need to go deal with.

If you can't help hearing that hell, walk down the street these days, folks, you're

going to hear it.

Any movie you watch, you're going to hear it relax.

It's just a word.

It's just a word, a series of letters that make a certain sound, and if that offends

you, then that's your problem.

Not Hers, but anyway, I bring that up because Donald Trump decided to get in on the action.

He wasn't happy about Democrats talking impeachment.

Hell, we had a democratic representative, Brad Sherman.

He's already introduced articles of impeachment on day one, so Trump feels the heat.

He understands impeachment could be right around the corner.

They seem very willing to do it on the democratic side.

At least a few of them do.

So Friday morning to get back to the main point here, Friday morning, Trump tweets out

the following.

How do you impeach a president who has one, perhaps the greatest election of all time

done?

Nothing wrong, no collusion with Russia.

What's the Dems that colluded?

Had the most successful first two years of any president and is the most popular Republican

in Party history.

Ninety three percent.

Literally everything that man just said, that tweet is ally, literally everything can be

proven to be false that he said in that tweet, starting with the fact that he's actually

never hit a 93 percent approval rating according to Gallup among Republicans is highest, was

91 percent, which he hit right at the time of the midterms.

Uh, two months ago.

His approval rating right now, again, according to Gallup, is 89 percent among Republicans,

and that is actually of this week as of this week.

Um, so the 93 percent, not true, accomplished more than any republican president in the

first two years in history.

Also not true.

In fact, according to executive orders, he's issue and laws that he signed.

He's actually done the least among any modern president, done the least.

Those are verifiable things that this moron suddenly doesn't, or it doesn't seem to understand.

We can look up, we can see that those are quantifiable.

It's not, you know, questionable.

It's not, well my opinion.

No.

You can look up and see what he is signed and compared what other presidents have signed

quantifiable, ladies and gentlemen.

But let's get to the heart of the matter, right?

Can Impeach me.

I won an election now.

Oh you didn't.

You technically did not.

You won the electoral college vote.

You'll lost the popular vote by 3 million.

So you've spent the last two years trying to tell us that $5 million illegal aliens

voted in that election.

You set up a taskforce to find voter fraud.

They couldn't find a damn instance of it.

And so here we are, and more importantly, you could have won the presidency by getting

every single person in this country to vote for you.

Your approval rating could be 100 percent and none of that would say that you couldn't

be impeached.

Nothing that this man said in this tweet is related to the other thing.

And nothing that he said was truthful.

This is a very scared, terrified, and demented human being serving as the president of the

United States right now.

A lot of us, I think the latest poll show, at least half of us, those numbers might have

gone up a little bit in the last week or two.

Want to see this man removed from office, so yeah, Rashida Tlaib was 100 percent correct.

With her enthusiasm, with her language and with her willingness to go forward with it.

The only issue I have is that it's not time yet.

We will get what we need and yes, I know the argument can be made and has been made that

there is enough right now to do it.

That is true, but let's wait till we have a foolproof case and then get this idiot removed

from office.

"I Don't Know Anyone Who Voted for Trump" | Dr. Steven J. Allen - Duration: 2:47.

America is more divided than ever.

Geographically, the political left clusters in cities while the right tends to live in

rural areas.

And we don't consume the same media.

America's so-called "mainstream media" are all left leaning; conservative media have

a few large platforms, but they're easy to ignore if you're not already inclined

to agree with them.

And we don't learn from the same sources.

In academia, students can't hear conservative viewpoints: nationally there are six liberal

professors for every conservative one; at Harvard, the ratio is 51 to one.

If you don't know any Trump supporters, it's easy to convince yourself they're

all stupid and half of them are "deplorables."

But perhaps your lack of interaction misleads you.

If you're on the left, you might think that conservatives, who are more likely to be religious

and less likely to accept global warming theory, don't understand science.

But you'd be wrong.

A study by Yale Law School Professor Dan Kahn found Tea Partiers actually had the superior

understanding of science!

He confessed, "I fully expected I'd be shown a modest negative correlation between

identifying with the Tea Party and science comprehension.

But then again, I don't know a single person who identifies with the Tea Party."

If you're on the left, you might think that conservatives who oppose government welfare

programs, don't care about the poor.

Not so.

A study by social scientist Arthur Brooks found that those who are less likely to support

redistribution are more likely to be charitable themselves.

If you're on the left, you might think that conservatives, who regularly talk about far-left

political violence, are more likely to think of you as a threat to America.

The exact opposite.

A Georgetown University poll found it's Democrats who are more likely to believe,

quote, "that members of the opposing party are a threat to the United States and its

people."

In a study testing how well liberals and conservatives understand each other, social psychologist

Jonathan Haidt found conservatives were consistently more accurate in predicting how liberals think

about moral issues while liberals, especially those self-describing as "very liberal",

were consistently less accurate in predicting how conservatives think about moral issues.

Inside the left-wing bubble, people are protected from opinions and facts that run counter to

the orthodoxy with which they're comfortable.

Perhaps if they'd learned more, they might find Trump supporters are everywhere -- and

not as evil or dumb as those with an agenda would want you to believe.

World War 3 warning: Iran to launch DEVASTATING nuclear missiles claims Trump official - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 4:22.

World War 3 warning: Iran to launch DEVASTATING nuclear missiles claims Trump official

IRAN is on the brink of developing intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the

United States, according to an explosive World War 3 warning issued by the US Secretary of State.

Mike Pompeo staged the intervention on Thursday.

He claimed Iran's so-called "space launch vehicles" (SLVs) were in direct violation

of a key United Nations (UN) resolution.

The Iranian regime has launched ballistic missiles numerous times since United Nations

Security Council resolution 2231 (UNSCR 2231) was adopted and continues to do so, Mr Pompeo alleged.

He said: "Iran plans to fire off space launch vehicles with virtually the same technology

as intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

"The launch will advance its missile programme.

"US, France, UK and Germany have already stated this is in defiance of UNSCR 2231.

"We won't stand by while the regime threatens international security."

Of Iran's increasingly bellicose actions, which the US claims flout the historic accord,

Mr Pompeo said: "Such actions would once again demonstrate Iran's defiance of UNSCR

2231, which calls upon the Iranian regime not to undertake any activity related to ballistic

missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons.

"This action includes launching SLVs, which incorporate technology that is virtually identical

to that used in ballistic missiles, including in ICBMs."

The US Secretary of State also noted an ICBM with a range of 10,000km could reach the US.

But Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif rejected Mr Pompeo's warning against

carrying out space vehicle launches and missile tests, saying on Thursday they did not violate

the UN resolution.

Mr Zarif said in an English-language tweet: "Iran's launch of space vehicles - and

missile tests - are not in violation of Resolution 2231.

"The US is in material breach of same, and as such, it is in no position to lecture anyone on it."

UNSCR 2231 was a resolution endorsing the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action

(JCPOA) - or Iran Nuclear Deal - on the nuclear program of Iran.

The Resolution sets out an inspection process and schedule while also preparing for the

removal of United Nations sanctions against Iran.

The JCPOA was intended to curb Iran's nuclear energy programme, which the West said the

theocratic Middle Eastern power was using as a front to further its ballistic missile

capabilities.

The agreement was struck in return for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions.

US President Donald Trump notably withdrew from the accord, branding it "decaying and

rotten" and "an embarrassment" to him "as a citizen".

Of the JCPOA, Hossein Abedini, a representative for anti-regime group the National Council

of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), told Express.co.uk: "It gave a lot of unnecessary concessions

to the regime, which was in a very weak position.

"It was time to get rid of all its nuclear activities but unfortunately they gave a lot

of concessions which did not work and made the regime more brazen."

The pro-regime change NCRI claims to have exposed swathes of Iran's "clandestine

nuclear programme" and says the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) sent its inspectors

to visit the sites.

Of his group's findings, Mr Abedini said: "We have exposed the clandestine nuclear

sites of the Iranian regime.

"In 2002 we revealed the enrichment of uranium to a recognised degree as well as the heavy

water reactor where they were trying to produce plutonium as the main core of a nuclear device.

"The IAEA were very much astonished to see how advanced and sophisticated the nuclear

technology of the Iranian regime was."

The IAEA did not respond to a request for comment when approached by Express.co.uk.
