lauren: emily larson joins us now. thanks for joining us again.r how the declaration violates the constitution? >> the main argument is that the declaration violates the constitution because congress has the authority to appropriate the funds and it's basically an executive overreach argument, that trump is usurping the constitution because he's overstepping without proper authorization from congress. the problem is that congress has given up a lot of their authority in the past in many different aspects and issues to the executive. it will be a tough argument for the states to say that trump is actually violating the cons. lauren: this is expected to go to the supreme court. what do you expect them to do? >> well, it's hard to say what the courts are going to do. i'm not a supreme court whisperer. but trump does have a number of aspects of this argument that are in his favor. for example, it's unclear, some legal experts think whether these states actually have standing to bring the lawsuit because the wall is being built in texas and also he is

let's discuss this with collin willhelm and emily larson. emily is a reporter for the daily caller. thanks for joining us this morning. emily, i want to begin with you. is there an agreement at least in theory, is there something they're ready to put on paper, and can they do that, emily? this is the thing. we have eight days for the deadline, they need to do it by monday, in order for the house to be able to read it and cross all the t's and dot all the is. can they do it? >> in theory it's possible. it's congress so things happen often on short notice. they originathey originally wane an agreement by friday. they could have a deal as late as monday. if they don't happen, they might have to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government open if they don't make a deal or the government shut down. might shut down. this is a moral issue for both sides. it isn't only about the funding. president trump said in his state of the union that he thought the lawlessness state of the southern border was a moral issue. pelosi says she thinks the wall is immoral. it won't come down to the d

my name is emily larson. i am the mayor of duluth. and today is the kind of day we call a perfect duluth day. we also could call it spring. or summer.

let's bring in emily larson from the daily caller news foundation.for the president. some could say it's a win. he got more than $1 from nancy pelosi. >> exactly. it's a lot more than the $1 that nancy pelosi joked about only giving hip at the beginning of the year. it's only a quarter of what he was originally asking for, with $5.7 billion for the border. but it's better than nothing. and right now all signs are pointing to trump signing this. he has no other option if he wants to avoid a government shutdown and that doesn't seem like a fight that the administration is willing to take on again. there have been hints from people on both sides of the aisle that he seemed optimistic. senator shelby said he talked to president trump last night and he seemed in good spirits. so while he hasn't 100% committed yet, it's looking pretty good for this border agreement. cheryl: $1.375 billion, he wanted a $5.7 billion, so there you go. that's the big number we're looking at here. the detention beds, that was a big issue as well here, democrats were looking to
