a . it's prime time! >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." as you're waking up in the west, president trump could take action to declare national emergency at u.s./mexican border to reallocate federal money to build a border wall. the president is due to sign a budget deal passed overwhelmingly by congress to prevent another government shutdown. it includes only one-quarter of the border security funding the president demanded so he plans to act on his own to find the rest. >> cbs news confirms the president plans to spend $8

>> that's an option. and we'll review our options. >> reporter: the president's allies argue he was left with little choice after a five-week partial shutdown and three-week congressional negotiation failed to produce funding he demanded for his proposed border wall. some republicans worry the move could create new options for a future democratic president. speaker pelosi pointed to the parkland shooting and gun violence as an example. >> that's a national emergency. why don't you declare that emergency, mr. president? i wish you would, but a democratic president can do that. democratic president can declare emergencies as well. >> reporter: even if the president does sign an emergency declaration, he may not be able to get ahold of all the funding he needs because house democrats and others are expected to file legal challenges. the president says the law is 100% on his side. >> well, we're not surprised to hear that from the white house but this conversation certainly continues. thank you, nancy.

7:40 am
because it only matters if we get it done. we are very much working very closely with china and president xi, who i respect a lot. very good relationship that we have. and we're a lot closer than we ever were in this country with having a real trade deal. we're covering everything. all of the points that people have been talking about for years. things people said couldn't be done. whether it is thrift is theft o. we have before losing $370 billion a year with china. some people think it is much more than that. we will be leveling the playing field. the tariffs are hurting china badly. they don't want them and frankly, if we can make the deal, it would be my honor to remove them. otherwise, we are having billions of dollars pouring into
7:41 am
the treasury. we never had that before with china. it has been a one-way street. that's happening. the relationship with china is very good, but i think they finally respect our country. they haven't respected us for a long time. not for a long time. the uk and the u.s., as you probably have been seeing and hearing, we're agreeing to go forward and preserve our trade agreement. you know all of the situation with respect to brexit and the complexity and the problems. we have a very good trading relationship with the uk and that's just been strengthened further. so with the uk, we're w are goi actually be increasing it substantially as time goes by. increased as it relates to be

7:43 am
equally as successful. i'm in no rush for speed. we just don't want testing. the sanctions, as you know, remain. everything is remaining. china has been helping us. russia has been helping us. south korea, i think, we have been working closely with south korea and with japan. china, russia, on the border, have really been at least partially living up to what they're supposed to be doing. that's okay as per the united nations. we will have a meeting on the 27th and 28th of february. i think that will be a very successful and i look forward to seeing chairman kim. we have also established a very good relationship which has never happened between him or his family and. the united states.advanta
7:44 am
billions of dollars has been paid to them. we won't let that happen. we think that north korea and chairman kim have a tremendous potential as an economic force and economic power. their location between south korea and russia and china, right smack in the middle, is phenomenal. we think they have a great chance for tremendous economic prosperity in the future. i look forward to seeing chairman kim in vietnam. today, i'm announcing several critical actions that my administration is taking to confront a problem we have right here at home. we fight wars 6,000 miles away. wars we should never have been in, but we don't control our own border. we will confront the national security crisis on our southern border. we will do it one way or the
7:45 am
other. not because it was a campaign promise, which it is. one of many, by the way. we are rebuilding the military. our economy is thriving like never before. you look at other economies. they are doing terribly. we are doing phally. the market is up tremendously today. i'll go in and they will say the market just went down. the market is close to the new highs we created. we have all of the records. we have every record. we are getting close to that point again where we create new records. our country is doing well economically and we have done a lot. one of the things i said i have to do and i want to do border tnd amounts of drugs flowing into our country. much of it coming from the southern border. when you look and when you listen to politicians, in particular, certain democrats, they say it all comes through
7:46 am
the port of entry. that's wrong. that's wrong. that's just a lie. they say walls don't work. walls work 100%. whether it is el paso -- i really was smiling because the other night i was in el paso. we had a tremendous crowd. tremendous crowd. i asked the people, many of whom from el paso, but they came from all over texas. i asked them. let me ask you as a crowd. when the wall went up, was it better? you were there. some of you. it was not only better, it was like 100% better. you know what they did. that's only one example. there were so many examples. you know, in el paso, they have close to 2,000 murders right on the other side of the wall 2 rder that a lot of murders. it's not close to 2,000 murders. right on the other side of the wall in mexico.
7:47 am
so every one knows the walls work and a better example than el paso, frankly. take a look almost everywhere. take a look at israel. they are building another wall. their wall is 99.9% effective. that's what it would be with us, too. the only weakness is they go to a wall and go around the wall. they go around the wall and in. okay? that's what it is. very simple. a big majority of the big drugs, the big drug loads don't go through ports of entry. they can't. you can't take big loads. you have people. you have very capable people. border patrol. law enforcement is looking. you can't take human traffic. women and girls. you captan't take them in ports entry or tied up in the car seat or truck. they open the door. they can't see three women with tape on their mouths or three
7:48 am
women whose hands are tied. they go through areas where you have wall. everybody knows that. nancy knows it. chuck knows it. they all know it. it is all a big lie. it's a big con game. you don't have to be very smart to know. you put up a barrier and the people come in and that's it. they can't do anything unless they walk left or right and find an area with no barrier. they come into the united states. welcome. we detained more people, our border agents are doing such incredible work. our military has been incredible. we put up barbed wire on top of certain old walls that were there. we fixed the wall. we loaded it up with barbed wire. it is very successful. our military has been fantastic. i want to thank them.
7:49 am
it is very necessary. we broken up two caravans on the way. they just are breaking. they are in the process of breaking up. we have another one we haven't been able to break up yet. we have been working with mexico. much better than ever before. i want to thank the president. i want to thank mexico. they have their own problems. they have the largest number of murders that they ever had in the history. 40,000 murders. 40,000. they have to straighten that out. i think they will. i want to thank the president because he has been helping us with these monstrous caravans that have been coming up. one up to over 15,000 people. it is largely broken up. others have gotten through. in tiajuana, people are staying there. if we didn't have the wall strengthened, they would have walked through and welcomed into the united states. one of the things we save
7:50 am
tremendous amount on would be sending the military. if we had a wall, we wouldn't need a military. we have a wall. i'm going to be signing a national emergency and it's been signed many times before. it's been signed by other presidents. from 1977 or so, it gave the presidents the power. there's rarely been a problem. they signed it. nobody cares. i guess they weren't very exciting. nobody cares. they signed it. for far less important things in some cases. in many cases. we're talking about an invasion of our country with drugs, with human traffickers, with all types of criminals and gangs. we have some of the greatest people i know. they've been with me from the beginning of my campaign. the angel moms. unfortunately we have new angel

husband, please stand up, just killed in maryland. incredible man. just killed. beautiful children. won't be seeing their father again. these are brave people. these are people. they don't have to be here. they don't have to be doing this. they're doing it for other people. i want to thank all of you for being here. i want to thank you. incredible people. last year, 70,000 americans were killed at least, i think the number is ridiculously low, by drugs, including meth and heroin and cocaine, fentanyl. one of the things i did with president xi in china when i met him in argentina at a summit. before i started talking about
7:53 am
the trade, it was a trade meeting. it went very well. before i traualked about trade, talked about something more important. i said listen, we have tremendous amounts of fentanyl coming in to our country. kills tens of thousands of people. i think far more than anybody regist registers. and i'd love you to declare it a lethal drug and put it on your criminal list. their criminal list is much tougher than our criminal list. their criminal list, a drug dealer gets the thing called the death penalty. our criminal gets a thing called how about a fine. when i asked president xi, i said do you have a drug problem. no, no, no. i said you have $1illi people. you don't have a drug problem.
7:54 am
i said why. death penalty. we give death penalty to people that sell drugs. end of problem. what do we do? we set up a blue ribbon committee. lovely men and women. they sit around a table. they have lunch. they eat. they dine. they waste a lot of time. so if we want to get smart, we can get smart. you can end the drug problem. you can end it a lot faster than you think. president xi agreed to put pe ntanyl on his list of deadly drugs. it is a criminal penalty. the penalty is death. that's frankly one of the things i'm most excited about in our trade deal. you want to know the truth. i think there's maybe no more important point. we will make billions with the trade deal. great for our country and for china. their market is down 40%. our market is way up.
7:55 am
we picked up since my election trillions of dollars of worth. trillions. many trillions. and china's lost trillions of dollars. but i wanted it to be good for china and good for the united states. we will see what happens. china is coming here next we're, by the way. the traders. china is coming here next week. i'll be meeting with president xi at some point after that to maybe do deals directly. one-on-one or so. we will be signing, today, and registering national emergey. i because we have an invasion of drugs and invasion of gangs and invasion of people. it is unacceptable. by signing the national

emergency, something signed many times by other presidents. many, many times. president obama, in fact, we may be using one of the national emergencies that he signed having to do with cartels. criminal cartels. it's a very good emergency that he signed. we'll use parts of it in our dealings on cartels. that would be a second national emergency. in that case, it is already in place. what we really want simple. it is notsimple. we want to stop drugs from coming into the country. we want to stop criminals and gangs from coming into our country. nobody has done the job that we've ever done. nobody has done the job that we have done on the border. in a way, what i did, by creating such a opposing party in, this economy would be down the tubes. i hear a lot of people say,
7:57 am
well,he previous administration. let me tell you, the previous administration, it was heading south. it was going fast. s. the regulations were strangling our country. unnecessary regulations. by creating a strong economy, you look at your televisions and see what's going on today. it's through the roof. what happens is more people want to come. we have far more people trying to get into our country today than probably we ever had before. we have done an incredible job in stopping them. it's a massive number of people. if we had the wall, it would be very easy. we would make up for the cost of the wall just at the cost of the fact i would be able to have fewer people. we wouldn't need all of the incredible talent, some of whom are sitting in the first row. you wouldn't need all incredible talent.
