wall and immigration, we appropriated over $4 billion for just one part of a virtual wall that janet napolitano did not spend. if somebody spent that money, they violated the law. >> you're saying the funds to build the wall have already been appropriated so if mexico refuses to pay for the wall, the money has already been built in for us to spend it? >> i'm not giving up on mexico paying for the wall and trump never said when they would pay for it. we may have to front the money up front, like i say, so much of it has already been put up there, and then go collecting later. that happens in the business world z a president elect trump knows. if that money got misspent illegally, we need to find it. that would be one of those great places under the law for a government employee to point out where it was illegally spent and we give them 10% or so of what we get back from where it was illegally spent. so money is either there or it's grabbable to start the wall. we've been trying to push for this even under president bush. the money was appropriated back then and during the obama administration. t

janet napolitano said i don't want to do that. we let her get away with disobeying the law.t that will follow the law. there's money out there and another big bunch of money would be for all of the illegals we've been in processing. we'll be able to spend that more on the wall than we are on in processing, but there's billions of dollars we couldn't find out where they are. he can get started when he has a good homeland security secretary. >> so louie, what you are saying is he could start on day one? he could say look, my accountants have gone through the books and i just found a bunch of money and i'm sending people out and we're going to start building the wall day one without congress? >> there's -- it's amazing what you can get congress to do when you lead and push them in the right direction. and actually, you know, we appropriated money during the bush administration that didn't get spent for the wall, so, yeah, it's going to be great to have somebody that's actually following the law. there's been that sentiment for a long time and some areas we don't need one. a bal

there have been enough studies done for it and it's just that janet napolitano decided we're not goingo do that. so i've got a request in, let's find out where that money went. and how much is of the money is left. once it's appropriated it's there to be spent and we need to find out where it is so we can start the process. of course, the president has to do that, we know that obama won't. i heard a democrat earlier today, i guess on c-span saying, oh, yeah, you know, president trump needs to come down to the border. he's been to the border. ashley: he has. >> we don't need it through big ben national park, put balloons out there, but we can get it done where it needs to be done. this is doable. ashley: that's a great place to do it. you don't shout at anyone. thank you very much: check it out, pear-shaped diamond earrings each more than 50 carats, sold at christie's short of estimated selling surprise supposed to be 20 to 30 million. i got it bargain. liz: i think i just got a text from your wife. ashley: don'cash the text. anti-trump protests continue high schools in new york and d.c

of course once he's in office, we hear his surrogate, janet napolitano, say, you build a 10-foot wall, they build 12-foot ladder. so what to they do? they build a 10-foot fence around the white house. after she made fun of a 10-foot fence, they build a 10-foot fence. make it higher around the white house. i asked, you know, does that fence work? ecause if et works, -- if it works we need to have something like that down on our border. if it doesn't work, then let's remove the fence from around the white house. but the obama administration, no, they clamored that fences would do no god made their fence even stronger, bigger, taller, more secure around the white house. so i know they said fences didn't work, but their actions said pretty clorely, yes, we know they work, that's why we're fixing ours up around the white house. in my own home county, november was a very, very sad time, a little girl, 10 years old, had , was finally found, friends around the country texting, emailing, praying for kaila. they finally found 10-year-old sheriff,r smith county larry smith, reported that her bod
