JIM JORDAN #SHOCKS MEDIA WITH HUGE TRUMP ANNOUNCEMENT!
ALL HELL IS BROKEN ON THE DEMS!
the pressure is now on Congress to make a deal fund the wall and reopen the
government and lawmakers have been invited to the White House tomorrow to make it happen
so let's talk to Republican Congressman Jim Jordan founding
member of the house freedom caucus great to have you with us tonight
you're a reaction overall to the speech I thought it was per se persuasive I thought
it was presidential I thought it was good this whole idea that this is
somehow a manufactured crisis the Democrats keep talking is crazy we have they not seen
this whole Caravan phenomena play out over the last several months
the numbers trace Gallagher just gave on the thousands of people who've
showed up at the border that those with criminal records those with possible ties to terrorist
groups the drug problem the gang problem the human trafficking
problem I thought the president did a great job of spelling out
what's at stake here inmate Mickey it kind of come home for people and feel what
is actually happening on the southern border and why we need a border
security law there have been a lot of speculation and criticism from the lapped and mainstream
media that he was going to declare a national emergency didn't
happen tonight we know he's going to the border in a couple of days he'll
probably speak from down there as well I want to read something though coming from Jonah
Goldberg and he talks about the fact that if this wall was so important
why didn't Republicans control the House Senate why not get it done he
says this the real crisis now isn't a national security when it's a political
one for Trump and even if you favor a wall or enhanced border security that is
not an argument for the president formally declaring national emergency when there isn't
one and deploying the military without congressional approval on
American soil that would be a serious abuse of power and Congress shouldn't
stand for it one way or another well no I think this is a serious problem I think I
think the American people understand that and I think we got to do everything
we can to get the border security wall done but I do think it
should happen with an appropriation from Congress and Jonah is right in this regard we should
have done this in March we should have done this like we were poised
to win remember just a few weeks before that March big omnibus crazy
names to give things here watching this big omnibus spending bill just a few
weeks part of that we had sent a short-term funding bill to Chuck Schumer and he shut
the government down and he shut it down because he said amnesty was more
important than funding our troops and funding the government nobody MSD
do you mean a solution for daca that's what that's what that's what Chuck Schumer was
talking about okay so legal status versus citizenship does that make a
difference to you if you're gonna use the word amnesty well he was winning he
was he was totally yeah well it sure is for us I think it is for most of American people
but that was the backdrop fast-forward to March we were poised
to win the battle because when Chuck Schumer shut the government down
if you remember the American people said you're crazy and a few days later he said Shazam
I'm going to open the government back up because he saw what was
happening politically so we were poised to get it done in March we didn't
that's unfortunate but we are where we are now and just remember it was three weeks ago
a Nancy Pelosi said there aren't the votes in the house and the last
Congress and yet we have 217 members both four so the American people
want this this is what President Trump campaigned on this is more importantly the right thing
to do the biggest problem Shannon is Democrats are
more focused on stopping the president than they are on helping the
country and that's evidenced by Schumer was for this a few years ago Pelosi was for this
a few years ago and now they're not because their political base they think
is good for them in democratic politics let's focus on the country okay
my understanding is what the Democrats in the house plan to do is roll out individual
funding bills for different parts of the government separate in a way
from what's happening with a border Politico now saying this House GOP
leaders fear support eroding for Trump shut down fight they say a senior White House senior
House GOP aide said McCarthy and his top lieutenants believe 15
to 25% republicans are not percent 15 to 25 Republicans will vote with Democrats this
week possibly even more Howard I don't think so I'm not I'm not again
like I said I thought the President's speech was was right on
target I thought it was persuasive I thought it was presidential last week we only had
seven Republicans vote with the Democrats on one of these types of bills I
don't think you'll see the 15 to 20 but even if you do mr.
McConnell has been cleared he's not bringing it up and
the president has been clear he's going to veto it if anything ever got to him
so I think our voters are excuse me our members are strong because the American people understand
this is the right thing today we're out of time so I have to
ask you yes or no question if Daka is on the table as part of this deal not
for citizenship but maybe for some kind of legal status is that's something you could
vote for to fund the government get the wall and get this we have to see it
but I but and I think the citizenship question is
the key question but I think the key thing is the border security wall let's focus on
that let's get past the Democrats being maybe we know you know how
we know how bad they are against the president how strong they are against
the president what was the first thing Brad Sherman introduced the start of this Congress
yeah resolution yeah so let's focus on helping the country if we do
that I think we'll get the border security wall we can talk about the
doctors I congressman great to see you thanks for stopping in late with us tonight you all
right however you received the president's address tonight one
thing should not be missed the president scored a major media coup what
am I talking about he got all the major networks to carry his address galvanizing the attention
of the entire country and he accomplished something
else he got two of the least popular politicians in the nation to
respond to him on his terms he wants to raise the stakes it makes the Democrats the co-owners
of this shutdown and I think Nancy Pelosi and
Chuck Schumer are walking right into the trap he brings everyone in and this
is the Trump trap he negotiates through brinksmanship and that's just not a way to get to a rational
ending okay but this is rational the president is rejecting
these bipartisan bills which would reopen government over his
obsession with fortune forcing American taxpayers to waste billions of dollars on an expensive
and ineffective wall we don't govern by temper tantrum president Trump
has appealed to fear not facts division not unity there's an obvious
solution separate the shutdown from arguments over border security okay now to the contract
should be glaring for anyone who watched tonight the president was
really sober and his address is extremely serious and he genuinely
believes that a wall is needed as part of a larger border Security's policy so he campaigned
on that's what he won on Democrats do not give a damn about securing
the border for them this is all about scoring political points and of
course about 2020 we have always willing to talk to the president about border security
and many of us have supported some pretty massive investments
in border security in the past but we can't do that well the
government is shut down we need to open up government and then negotiate not the
other way around we believe in secure borders but we want the government open once the government
is open I would support looking at a broader compromise on
immigration alright don't believe anything they're telling you therefore
just not even a millisecond the Democrats are targeting the 800,000 government workers
on furlough they're targeting them what do I mean they refuse
to move even a millimeter the Democrats toward a common-sense
compromise of the president now remember a year ago they were willing to give him 25
billion dollars for a wall schumer ultimately pulled that off the table but
they were willing to do that now today they can't even come up with a measly five billion
dollars think of all the waste fraud and abuse in this town that they
could trim away to get that five billion dollars we'll talk about that in
a bit the president has shown a willingness to compromise you heard it tonight in a funding
request to the Senate Appropriations Committee this week
the president asked for items that are also important to Democrats he
alluded to this tonight of course 800 million dollars for humanitarian needs at the border
and that includes medical support and additional facilities to house
migrants which frankly a lot of Americans probably think would be better
spent on inner-city youth in our veterans but nevertheless the president's willing to
go there the president's also requesting 675 million dollars
for new technology to detect and stop the flow of illegal drugs over the
border Democrats have long said they wanted that but Democrats don't want to have an
honest conversation about border security they're now the party of obstruction and everything
must bend to they're resist Trump goals the hill
reports that their latest strategy is to jam up the Senate by refusing to consider any
legislation until the government is reopened this cannot be business
as usual that we shot down a quarter of the government and
just leave it shutting down it's a it's an incompetent strategy now just to give you
a sense of how dogmatic how rabbit and how fanatical this resistance to Trump
has become look no further than the Democrats who voted against
considering a bill to support Israel earlier today what so we're not going to support boy
oppose boycotts against Israel because Trump is wants to do a deal on the border wall how
is that governing in a mature way now I'm sure the new anti-semitic
wing of the Democratic Party was thrilled about this
development in the Senate but nevertheless most Americans aren't again don't focus on
what they say it sounds fine kind of reasonable watch what they do
the Democrats want this shutdown to go on as long as possible to divide as
many Republicans from the President as they can they want to peel one off after another
and then they want to ratchet up the political pressure our safety and our
security forget that that's damned if they wanted the government reopen the
Democrats could negotiate with the President and reopen the government tomorrow
he's already compromised on the structure of the wall and he's dropped his asking price
as we know way down and while the Democrats feign concern over spending
a few billion on the border wall 5.7 billion the coastal wonder
twins of their party governor who knew some of California and mayor de Blasio of New York
have all kinds of money they find pots of money for the health care of
illegal immigrants we will never waver in our pursuit of guaranteed
health care for all Californians health care is a human right in this city we're gonna
make that a reality in this city we're taking that ideal and putting it into
practice from this moment on in New York City everyone is guaranteed the
right to health care well they have no problem finding all that might fallen from the sky
to spend on the well-being and health of illegal aliens my friends like
everything else this is all about politics to the Democrats
pretty much every demographic group in the country right now is better off than they
were just a few years ago think about that but the Democrats didn't have any
answer to that it's not like they're gonna go out there and argue okay we're
gonna offer these three policies and they're gonna raise your standard of living to a higher
level than president Trump has been able to do they've given up
on that all they have to run on is this shutdown and their opposition to
the wall oh sorry and Trump's a racist that's all they have oh and for an added bonus they
actually believe that this stalemate with a shutdown furnishes them with another political
weapon to guess what further the real Nirvana for Americans because
this is really gonna help your life get better the impeachment agenda yes
Trump's threat to end the shutdown by declaring a national emergency which never happened
in building the wall himself could hasten the Democrats ultimate
desired end this kind of abuse of power may also open up other measures
for Congress because this in fact could hit the tripwire of abuse of power which is also
one of those things that could lead to a presidential impeachment this morning
like wow you're really spinning it out well the Democrats are straining
to squeeze the last bit of political juice from the shutdown the president's doing the
right thing he's focused on the security and the sovereignty of the American
people and their prosperity it's a posture that's good policy but in
time it's also going to prove to be good politics as well mark my words and that's the angle
