critical republican voices and more critical democrats who are getting ready to challenge this. president trump says he's not doing this for political reasons. democrats are saying it's a fake national emergency and it's certainly a safe bet that all of this will be tied up in ce rts for quitme time. in a news conference stretching nearly an hour. president trump announcing his national emergency declaration to funnel money toward his >> it's an invasion. we have an invasion of drugs and criminals coming into our country. >> reporter: calling it a crisis while at the same time undercutting the urgency. >> i could do the wall over a longer period of time, i didn't need to do this. but i'd rather do it much faster. >> reporter: the president signing an executive order certain to face immediate legal challenges. >> we will possiblyet a bad ruling and then we'll get another bad ruling and then we'll end in the supreme court and hopefully we eat get a fair shake.

for saturday? what abo that big storm early ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

we err about 15 minutes a from a news conference where police from aurora, illinois are about to update us on that deadly shooting that killed one person and injured four police officers. >> we've been watching the story since 4:00 this afternoon with information trickling out bit by bit. we l expect torn more this hour so keep it tuned to 4.ne every week we like to take a breath and we'd lik to drink bourbon but we can't just yet. we like t take stock of the important stories in politics. >> each week when you think you can't top last week, itap hnspe again. president trump declares a national emergency to build a wall, and then he admits that politics are in play. >> democrats are gearing up for what is going to be an ongoin border battle.

>> as the 2020 field fills up, wher are the four bs, bernie, biden, beto and bloomberg. chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." the president, him signing this national emergency was not the surprise. at he said at the news conference was a surprise. let's listen to this one thing when he responded to peter alexander. >> i went to congress, made a deal. got almost $1.4 billion, but i'm not happy with it. i could do the wall over a longer period of time, i didn't need to do this, but i'd rather do it much faster. i don't have to do it for the eleation. i've a done a lot of wall for the election. 2020. >> so he's saying it's not national emergency, i didn't need to do this, i could have done this over time. what are you going to do with that statement? >> i think it will depend on how -- i think how t specific

supreme court looks at the national emergencies act. seems to me he was admitting it sas a political emergency. for political rease had to do it but he didn't make the case for national security reasons too this. you talk to some legal experts you think this is the thing he's told -- because he's trying to move money. they basical overturned an obama executive order that tried to expand protections for the parents of the dreamers. he wasn't tryingov to m money and they said that was an overreach. he's trying to move money, which happened twicek, in one of these emergencies ever. and that was following so i think he's got a tough case to make. but i understand why he made the political decision. this is a typical trump move. this is about preventing short-term pain.

the question is, i think he's bought himself some long-term pain. >> before it gets to thewh cour 's with the house and senate? does nancy pelosi have a move he? >> she does. congress has standing here to file if they need to. but theylso have some ability, they could challenge the emergency themselves. they could -- there is i think going to be a resolution of disapproval tfs that will pass the house. >> that doest do, other than a statement? >> i think it shows that they strenuously object. to borrow a line from "a few good men" so it may be a strongly worded letter of disapproval. are republicans ready, i don't think they are, but are congressional republicans ready to buck the president to the point they would side with democrats to present a veto proofmajority, i think beknow the answer to that, it's no. senate republicans don'tike what the president does, they

ring their hands at it, some issue strongly worded statements and shrug their shoulders becausehe base of the party is with the preside in spirit. but they don't want to see a democratic president have this author iy. >> that'the hands of the court. that's why legal experts john roberts, while he may hesitate. no supreme court likes toeigh in when you have a battle between congress and the presidency. congress has se power here to defend itself and the supreme court could say y until exhaust your own power to defend your abilities here, we're noto stepping ithis. but it's that slippery slope. it's the precent that it could set. that's what concerns a bunch of senate republicans. john cornyn from texas saying essentially a democratic president on day one will declare a nional emergency on climate. especially if you do it on day one, you might be able to-

at may uphold in the courts certainly if this is upheld by the courts, any national emergency declaration on clite will. >> you have news about a democratic debate. >> we do. the family at msnbc, telemundo, the fily of nbc networks is liing to host the first debates in e and spanish, not only the olympics do we getli togeth this, so frankly i think this is go to be t political olympics if you will, especially the first two debates, which i s think willve as an introductory phase for people to get to know the o ndidates. >> know where it's going to be? >> no. >> do we know what day? >> it's going to be in the june. >> who's on the sh. >> ron johnson, republican senator from wisconsin.an bill de blasio, who himself

is thinking running for president who found himself in a vice grip between prressives, amazon and capitalism. it's an interesting debate. this amazon decision in new york, i think is actually exposing a larger debate between the risingc democra socialist wings of the democrats and the pragmatic business wing. >> chuck todd thank you so much. if it's sunday chuck todd has been, working to bring you thel st political news including an exclusive interview with the chair of the democratic national committee. you wantt to watch t 10:30 on sunday here on nbc 4. oe again we are waiting on that news conference to update us o the deadly shooting incident at the manufacturing plant west of we'll keep you updated as we learn more in the next half hour. up next, doug kammerer we have changing forecast for your weekend. u mayot be eating tomato soup and grilled cheese
