FINALLY! Trump Just MADE Nancy Pelosi SHAKING In FEAR By Doing THIS
President Trump says the partial government shutdown could last months or
more than a year although he hopes negotiations will be fruitful in coming
days but the president also says he's considering declaring a national
emergency in order to build his border wall with or without Congress the
statements come on the day the stock market surged on higher than expected
jobs numbers for December and the Federal Reserve chair saying he will be
patient with interest rate hikes we have Fox team coverage tonight doesn't
Kelly's on Capitol Hill where Democrats are firmly entrenched against the
president's border wall correspondent Kevin cork those starts us off tonight
from the White House where the president seems equally committed to his position
good evening Kevin evening Brett asked if he would consider those emergency
powers to grant himself the authority to somehow fund the wall without
congressional approval the president said yes he'd come he thought about it
and yes he would do it if it came to that just the very latest twist in the
ongoing debate about funding the wall and ending the partial government
shutdown we can use them absolutely we can call a national emergency because of
the security of our country absolutely no we can do it I haven't done it I may
do it I may do it but we can call a national emergency and build it very
quickly president Trump today on the heels of a
two-hour meeting with Democrats here at the White House we just completed a
lengthy and sometimes contentious conversation with the
president we had a very very productive meeting two viewpoints of a very
important meeting with a singular purpose to end the partial government
shutdown I'm not saying it was an easy meeting or even a kind meeting or a nice
meeting but in the end I think we've come a long way we're gonna be working
very hard over the weekend it was a second such gathering this week of
leaders from both parties in the Situation Room here at the White House
while neither side would share specifics about the conversations the consensus
was there's more work to be done the southern border is a dangerous horrible
disaster we've done a great job but you can't really do the kind of job we have
to do unless you have a major powerful barrier and that's what we're going to
have to have our aim will be to find a solution not just simply to end the
government shutdown to provide funding to end the crisis at our southern border
to achieve real border security and to build a wall on our southern border the
wall the pillar the president's promise to defend the border and an absolute
non-starter for Democrats who vowed to stand pat until the president reopened
the government we have a disagreement on the refusal of the president to open up
the government but with the impasse now at 14 days and Counting the prospects of
a quick solution seem considerably murky at best it's very hard to see how
progress will be made unless they open up the government and I think I can
speak for Republicans in the House and Republicans in the Senate they feel very
strongly about having a safe country having a border that makes sense without
borders I've said it many times we don't have a country I hope it doesn't go on
even beyond a few more days and the meetings Brett continued tomorrow both
at 11:00 and 1:00 o'clock including the vice president Mike Pence as they try to
end the impasse another very quick note senior administration officials Brett
are set to receive $10,000 annual raises beginning tomorrow
and while today the vice president said he would turn down his raise the
president said he would consider asking other senior officials to follow suit
right Kevin you know the president threatened to declare a national
emergency to build the wall so can he actually do that
well the listen most people say no he can't do that Brett but I think a better
answer is it depends because while legally he cannot without congressional
approval say take money from one pot in the federal budget and move it to
another to build a wall other legal scholars always warn us about the broad
nature of the President's powers under a national emergency either way if he
attempted to do so it is a certainty that he would face a legal challenge
from lawmakers and others work live at the North Lawn Kevin thank you good
evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight there is a new Congress here in
Washington but the government shutdown continues as before the stalemate over
border wall funding entered its third week each side is betting the other will
give in first negotiations continue at the White House today but apparently
they bore no fruit because afterward the president emerged they say the situation
on our southern border is so grave he may be forced to build a wall without
congressional approval have you considered using emergency powers to
grant yourself authorities to build this wall without congressional approval and
second guess I have to go you have yes I have and I can do it if I want so you
don't need congressional approval to build no we can use them absolutely we
can call a national emergency because of the security of our country absolutely
no we can do it I haven't done it I may do it I may do it but we could call a
national emergency and build it very quickly
well Democrats call that extremism but who are the extremists here well the
ones who refuse to defend their country the new Speaker of the House has
announced that the Democratic Congress will never under any circumstances
allocate a single tax dollar to build the border wall not because it's too
expensive obviously these are the Democrats but because a wall would
violate some previously unknown and never explained moral code watch
is an immorality it's not who we are as a nation
it's an old way of thinking well it's tempting to assume that the speaker must
have misspoke in there but it's hardly the first time she has said that immoral
immorality she's use those words repeatedly now Pelosi is the highest
ranking Democrat in the United States she's a leader of her parties so we
should not blow this off we should take it seriously as a matter of policy
Democrats believe a border wall is immoral and that raises the question
what do they consider moral well American troops stuck forever in Syria
for one thing that's just fine sex selective abortions paid for with tax
dollars kicking up more moral than that and Tifa riding in the streets all
perfectly virtuous and turns out even walls can be moral under the right
circumstances they just can't protect America
Democrats gladly signed off on border defenses for Jordan Tunisia and Israel
no problem glad to do it but here on behalf of our own people
nope Americans don't deserve that they're
immoral for asking those are the parameters of their morality so what
religion is this exactly joining us now to explain his archbishop Chris Hahn
he's an attorney radio host and former Haeju Senator Chuck Schumer and he joins
us tonight so if you would I think we've talked about this before Nancy Pelosi
has repeatedly called the wall immoral and at first I thought well you know she
talks a lot and I know the feeling sometimes you miss peak but this is a
talking point this is something she's saying intentionally is the leader now
officially of your party so Democrats believe border walls are immoral what
does that mean I don't think she means it in the good versus evil type of
morality but rather this is a colossal waste of money
since there's never been a ladder in a rope that hasn't beaten a wall we finish
I'll let you finish but I just want to back up I promise I'm not I don't mean
interrupt you but I just want to Beca go what other sense of immoral is there I
mean by definition immoral describes something that is not moral it is again
by definition within the scheme of morality it's a religious precept
so what does that mean I was a wall in idle
I look I mean I don't think she means it in a good versus evil religious way I
think she means it anyway is that this is a colossal estupid this is a colossal
e stupid thing to build when a guy with a ladder that's a foot taller and a rope
to get down the other side will beat it and quite frankly no you're the N R okay
get to borrow the NRA s argument though if we put a wall up to block out illegal
you know people from coop come here to want to harm us people who want to come
here legally you're the only ones going to be stopped by that wall because
people are gonna come here illegally or come here to harm us or gonna figure a
way around it just like they figure out a way to get guns they're gonna they're
gonna get there oh my god I think I think I'm following you so they're gonna
get their own wall they're gonna buy a wall in the black market and bring their
wall to our wall and beat it is that what you're saying just to continue the
metaphor no no law-abiding people will be stopped
by the wall but the people who wish to break our laws will be will avoid the
wall like they do everything that's the right argument for you so much.you in
prison that's the right job for guns is the right it should be it should be
accepted here too okay I'm trying to take you seriously is that also true at
prisons which are surrounded by walls walls meant to keep lawbreakers in do
they not work so you know a prison is a couple of acres and you've got centuries
pointed that can monitor that wall the president's talking about thousands of
miles of wall are we gonna have sentries every hundred y'all every 100 feet to
watch that wall look we be better off Tucker we'd be better off with modern
technology we've used drones we can use other things too modern to the border
make sure it's backed up by the appropriate masses where a Border Patrol
I'm trying to get reasonable make sense we we both know that you're in favor of
more people coming here illegally and I'm not and that's the actual debate but
for the purpose of security of course we're not but I just want to drill down
a little bit on this idea of morality because I think it's really important
when the leader of a political party starts calling the other side in moral
that's not a small thing so I just want to understand in the very same day that
she said that she pushed to allow tax payer dollars from the United States to
go abroad to fund abortions in Latin America among other play
so you're saying it's immoral to keep Latin America out with a wall but it's
not immoral to pay for Latin American abortions
that's what Nancy Pelosi said do you agree with that well you know I think we
need like a couple of hours to discuss the morality of choice which is more
involved building choice using source of pay foghorns in other countries I'm just
wondering so I'm not going to first of all tax dollars do not pay for abortions
of their country and the challenge which we all know about so they will never
they will never go that way right but I mean debating whether or not that's
moral immoral that's a longer conversation we probably switch them
let's just I'm not asking you to conduct theology here I'm just asking you tell
me your view if the two things taxpayer money for sex selective abortions which
Nancy pussy is for okay or building a wall one is immoral which not is a I
don't I don't believe that she's for sex selective abortion she countries it over
once more and I think the more moral use of the funding for the wall would be to
fix the bridges and roads that are crumbling in this country that actually
need repair and spend a couple of bucks on ring video doorbell for border
security really not as big of a problem as the president is tomorrow at the
president making a problem that doesn't exist okay so really quick at the very
same time again that she was pushing against America's ability to defend
itself and its borders and for more taxpayer-funded abortions in other
countries she was also pushing for more foreign aid for other countries some of
which would go to border security we've already funded with her approval border
secured including walls in a bunch of other countries why were those not
immoral but our wall is immoral well you know when we talk about the Israeli wall
and other countries that have walls like that they are in a constant state of war
with their neighbor we are not in a state of no or we know that's like oh we
are not having a crisis at the border people not lobbing bombs into our
country from from Mexico back there our biggest trading partner right I
understand that and there are a number of barriers in Israel and some of them
are design to keep terrorists from coming in and I
don't think anyone would question the right to do that good for them right but
there's also a barrier on the southern border of Israel with Egypt that is
designed solely to keep immigrants from Africa out of their country
now I think it's Israel's right to build that wall I would never contest that I
don't have a problem with it but Nancy Pelosi doesn't have a problem with it
either that was not immoral but our wall is
immoral I'd honestly don't understand that what is the answer you know where
we're a nation of immigrants it's what makes this country great
it's what refreshes this country gives us a competitive edge with the rest of
the world if the President and his party want to change that that should be what
they talk about but is there right now is demagoguing about some invisible
director does not exist at the southern border and it's time for them to somehow
to face reality and even the government and have a conversation about ruining
feature how many people are here illegally now in the United States do
you know I would think over ten million over 10 is 40 million
try over 20 which is the latest estimate and not from some right-wing
organization but from Ivy League researchers does that seem like a lot
does that seem like the current border security schemes are working to you over
20 million PA it seems like a lot and it seems like a lot and and and 90% of
those people Tucker did not cross the southern border they understand a visa
that you don't even know with it a million however here every I wasn't
prepared for that question but every eye sees red shows every Ivy League study
that I've read about this topic says that exact same thing that most people
who are here illegally have just overstayed their visas and building a
wall at the southern border is not going to change that it's just a colossal
waste no honey don't if you tomorrow then it's remember got here we're just
guessing it's not going to work okay maybe right we'll see Chris thank you
very much all right thank you god bless you and God bless america
