. >> ladies and gentlemen the president of united states and the chancellor of the federal republic of germany. >> thank you very much. chancellor merkel, it is a great honor to welcome you to the people's house, the white house. our two nations share much in common, including our desire for security, prosperity and peace. we just concluded a productive meeting with the german and american companies to discuss workforce development and vocational training. very important words. germany has done an incredible job training the employees and future employees, and employing its manufacturing and industrial workforce. it's crucial that we provide our american workers with a really great employment outlook, and that includes making sure that we harness the full potential of women in our economy. my administration is in the process of rebuilding the american industrial base, a stronger america is in the interest, believe me, of the world as a whole. i reiterated to chancellor merkel my ng support for nato as well as the need for our nato allies to pay their fair share for the cost of defense.

, if the federal government can dictate to the states how it operates, then the states are not sovereign, the constitution is not a legally binding document, we are not a constitutional republic, we are 50 colonies in a federal kingdom. but here's the good news. the states are sovereign. the constitution is a legally binding contract. and nothing has changed. [applause] >> the only thing that really needs to happen is we have to change the way we think about government, the way we want government to operate, and be have to change how our states operate within the republic. because if the states simply acquiesce, then we are not a republic anymore. we are kingdom. what happens when the federal government use undelegated power? thomas jefferson explained what happens. he says, when the general government assumes undelegated power, its acts are unauthor take it, void and of no force. let's look at that for just a second but what jefferson is saying is that when the federal government uses power outside of the constitution, it is stealing that power from the states. howes he saying that? let look. what is your name, sir? gary. okay, so, for this analogy we're going to pretend i j

republic. >>> sanctuary cities in california and elsewhere could lose millions of federal dollars. attorney general jeff sessions has announced the department of justice will block approximately $4.1 billion in funding to so-called sanctuary cities. in some sanctuary cities, local law enforcement choose not to comply with federal detainers requesting information on or custody of undocumented immigrants. now if local authorities interfere with a detainer their city could lose federal funding. >>> meanwhile, federal agents have arrested the faer of one of the students charged with raping another student inside 43-year-old adoll foe sanchez reyes is being held at the harford county jail. this is his son 18-year-old henry sanchez young. he and 17-year-old jose omantano are both illegal immigrants charged with rape. attorney general sessions used the opportunity to address a proposal in maryland to make the entire state a safe haven for undocumented immigrants. >> well you know maryland is talking about a state law to make the state a sanctuary state. the governor is opposed to that. i'

from oklahoma, senator tom coburn, earmarks have long exacerbated the federal government's spending addiction. as old as the republic, earmarks have always been used by generations of politicians as currency to curry favor with special interests. as public outrage reached a mass, both houses ended a pay to play culture in congress. in order to preserve this important check against the corrupting influence of earmarks, i recently sent a letter to president donald trump respectfully urging him to veto any legislation containing earmarks that reaches his desk. i'd like to thank my colleague, senator john mccain, mike lee, rand paul, ted cruz and ben sasse for cosigning this letter. mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the following letter be submitted for the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. flake: to explain the urgency behind my letter to the president, i'd like to remind my colleagues in this body, many of whom were not in the congress before enactment of the moratorium, just how bad the earmarking epidemic became. for the uninitiated the term earmark is a euphemism for when lawmakers wor

republic. our problem is the fact that we have have shredded the constitution and we've got this bloated federal government and cutting taxes is one way of getting the government down to a constitutional level. >> all right, tom delay, very good seeing you. thank you, very, very much. there are a lot of divisions within that and we'll explore that later on and the fallout how the markets will adjust. in the meantime i want to take you to providence, rhode island again, i don't know if they're doing it for the gipper or a message you're okay with us, but make america great rally on. this was planned prior to this health care debacle and a lot of these folks don't seem to care that it fell apart and some are relieved that it did, but they think that the agenda is fine, the tax cut thing is fine, talk is some is of the other things the president wants to do, fine. and they're fine after this. y28cny ywty usaa gives me the and the security just like the marines did. the process through usaa is so effortless, that you feel like you're a part of the family. i love that i can pass the membership to my

important to do that on a local and regional level, just as it is on a federal level, or it undermines that foundation of our republic. another question, do you believe there's adequate collaboration currently between federal and local law enforcement agencies on addressing illegal immigration, more specifically, anything we can do with the sharing of intelligence? >> well, congressman, i think that there's always more we could do. i think there's some cyber things we can do, through the internet and so forth, that could help. in addition to the acceleration of the 287-g program. that becomes critically important, because within our prisons across this country, we really are the central intelligence base. the president pointed that out in a recent speech to the sheriffs, and i think most law enforcement people would agree with me, that that's critically important to have that information shared back and forth. so the extension of the 287-g acceleration of it would be great. >> on that same theme of technology, judge, this is for you, could you expand why it's more difficult for the court when asylum and border patrol
