president trump is declared a national emergency to access funding that congress denied him for a border wall with mexico the move as a sign to halt what he calls the invasion of drugs and gangs and humanitarian crisis on the southern border the declaration is facing a legal challenge from sixteen states led by california the president is also again set his sights on europe in the kading german automobile imports are a threat to national security and might be subject to painful tariffs so will president trump succeed in both building the wall and incur tailing auto imports including those from germany. our question this week trumps national emergency if you define democracy talk about that we have on the set today. is a fellow in foreign policy at the brookings institution in washington d.c. . she's based here in berlin this year as a fellow with the bosch foundation and she believes president trump's decision to declare a national emergency over the border wall is his latest manufactured crisis and he may have the power to get away with. multiple aiming works for the target people newsp

to a national emergency. and if this was the deal that would get the president on deal with the spending bill, this is something the majority leader was willing to do. and i think it underscores what we've heard from republicans and democrats alike in both chambers over the course of the last couple of days. this was the only way out. there was no plan "b" here. and more importantly than just keeping the government open on friday night, this would clear the decks of a lot of issues, spending issues, spending crises, spending deadlines until the end of september, something both house democrats and the majority over there and senate republicans and the majority in that chamber want to be able to get off their plate to be able to move on on their agenda, on their proposals, their bills, their nominations in mitch mcconnell's case. this was the trade-off. it was a trade-off that apparently had to happen to be able to move this forward. and now they are moving forward. 3:30 will be the first votes. the senate shou

i'm going to be signing a national emergency. >> in laying out the reason for declaring a national emergency president trump lit a political fuse reigniting a separation of powers debate and setting the stage for a possible constitutional crisis, an issue, portable funding, illegal immigration and the use of power given to the president by congress. but the criticism has come from both the left and the rice. senate minority leader chuck schumer and speaker nancy pelosi issuing a statement calling the president's devolution unlawful over a crisis that does not exist. meanwhile, trump loyalists howled because they believe the president signed off on a funding bill -- much of what and where a wall could be billed accusing mr. trump that vetting up an illegal immigration stimulus. >> the only national emergency is that our president is an idiot. >> if the white house spends the money sequentially as they currently plan to do they would spend over $5 billion for for any emergency funds are tapped. that's money to get moving, if you will while this battle makes its way through the courts. >> chris

there were new nationalisms. there was the collapse of economic structures which means foodstuffs and supplies that had once flowed freely were suddenly not moving. and 1919,ter of 1918 starvation and disease occurred. coal was no longer coming. the railways were interrupted. the boats on the danube were no longer working or not much. political collapse but also economic and social collapse. and what you got, was not just the ethnic nationalisms, you got revolutions. people were saying -- now, is our chance to build a better society. that thefear revolution in russia was now going to spread westward into europe. europe might be on the edge of total upheaval, a total rate of society. hungary had a socialist government. -- communist government. nn berlin, there was a attempt at a communist insurrection. , in 1919, thearis peace conference had to shut down because of the protests in the streets between violet left-wingers and authorities. something that the peacemakers had to think about in paris. and so, i will not

what does this six nations been for scotland? does this six nations been for scotland ?ey have upset last year. scotla nd scotland? they have upset last year. scotland and italy, you would look at that game and go it is definitely scotla nd at that game and go it is definitely scotland for a win. italy caused problems for scotland four years ago and it is a tough opener. it will be tough because the coach is a cracking player. how important is it that they now start wearing on the road consistently. everybody has seen road consistently. everybody has seen the high tempo game they play, the fast running rugby, they have got great attacking players in stuart russell, then hogg. against ireland in the week after next, so next saturday and then they go on the road to paris and twickenham. they are two hard places to win.|j have not asked anybody for a prediction. give us a prediction. tonight wales play france and i think france will beat wales. tomorrow scotland will be italy and i don't want to say, but england are the underdogs and i think they will win by three points, b

the house will vote on the national emergency and the senate will vote on the national emergency. are there enough republican senators who are opposed to this in theory that it actually will lose in the senate? i guess what i'm saying, marco rubio, roy blount, et cetera, all the republicans you're talking about, are they going to put their money where their mouth is? >> reporter: that is totally unclear. i've been trying to pin members down as they've been talking about this. all of them said we don't know yet because we need to see exactly what the president is doing, where he's going to get this money. army corps of engineer projects, that would be met with fierce opposition from republicans and democrats alike. others will raise concerns about the precedent this would set. will they actually vote this way? it really depends on the details. can the president convince them to stick with them? they're not saying yes, because they want to learn more. clearly, there will be a fight for the president to get this through congress. they need a significant amount of republicans on both

a wall ok but when germans understand that the national declaration of national emergency was in fact given the present by congress does that allay some of their fears and take away some of these nuances related to the hitler or yes because national emergency is something that this topic a little is in german history is so loaded with the with negative things that that it's very hard to understand that was already buy buy buy buy from a president given to a thing six and sixty times has a special history and special reasons and so it's quite quite difficult to train them to understand that to understand at torrey the president's been in office for twenty five months now he's still failed to build the wall his major policy objective now it's costing him support and this is in fact his last chance to get it built by declaring that actual emergency is this a make or break moment for the president. i think first and foremost we should look at this moment as an attempt by the president to follow through on a campaign promise to build a wall on the border with mexico but with very little re

>> no it's only on the national emergency but the national emergency, there's never been a president that's gone so far, just unquestionably not a national emergency. this has been -- nothing happened urgent. the national emergency is supposed to be for a disaster or military situation that threatens the country's security. it's not for a political whim of the president and no president has ever used it in the way this president has. so that's the reason it will be challenged because this is just going beyond anything that anybody ever thought about doing. >> now where do you get the confidence? i get the precedent rule. i'm old enough to remember when mitch mcconnell said to harry reid, you better not blow up this filibuster rule for these nominations. it's going to come back to haunt you and of course it did. but even though a will the of republicans remember that, remember the power of precedent and say they don't like this, asked the president not to do it, do you really think they would vote against him? >> well, there's not democrats to vote against him in the house. the questi

one being whether the president has the power to declare a national emergency as relates to a nationl security issue along the u.s./mexico border and b, does he have the power to move those funds without a specific appropriation from congress to build that border wall, to build more of that border wall. that, again, eric, is where the president is likely to run into some problems and it's already been reported that the white house council's office has told the president this is going to be problematic for you, mr. president. you may lose on that count. eric: then again, the president can still surely to the 2020 election be claiming and touting he wants to build the wall and the process continues. >> that's certainly right. it will motivate his base along the way. i might add, the president $1.4 billion or so this year to build 55 miles along the u.s./mexico border. he's going to ask for more money next year. if he gets reelected he's going to ask for more money for the border wall in years five, six, seven and eight. by the time the president if he gets two terms in office, he may w

and so you had ethnic national imps, these new nationalisms royaling europe. you had in many parts a collapse of economic structure, which meant that food stuffs and supplies that had once flowed freely for example throughout austria and hungary suddenly weren't moving. so vienna in the winter of 1918, 1919, saw starvation and disease, because the viennese were not getting the food which would have come from places like romania and hungary in the old days. these were now not moving into the end of the, the coal they needed, which might have once come from bold was no longer coming. the railways were disuptrd. nobody know where the rolling stop was. the boats on the dan you ube which used to carry goods up and down were not working. were not working very much. and so you had political collapse, but you also had economic and social collapse. and what you got was not just the ethnic nationalisms and the circumstance, you also got revolution. you got people saying now, is our chance to build a better society. and real fear in pairs that the revolution that had sta

with it comes anxiety about this idea of a national emergency. we know majority leader mitch mcconnell for a long time was trying to compel the president not to do this, in part because it divides the party. here's what rank and file members said about declaring a national emergency and what it means for the precedent of future presidents. >> i continue to believe that this is not what the national emergency act was intended to be used for. it was contemplated for a means to responding to a catastrophic event like an attack on the country or a major natural disaster. >> what if somebody else thinks climate change is a national emergency and what will they do and how far will they go? >> reporter: democrats in the house of representatives will have a resolution of disapproval of the national emergency. then because it is privileged when it passes out of the house there will be a vote in the senate. the key thing to watch is how many republicans vote with democrats against the president's national emergency. that's a key question we don't know the

now, sit a national emergency? i will tell you, i had as my guest to the state of the union someone who is referred to as an angel dad. this is an individual who went and put then uniform, fought for his country in iraq, while he was there, unfortunately, his wife got ill and died, he came home and now he's a single dad. he's taking care of his only child, a daughter. and that daughter unfortunately was hit on the street by a car driven by someone who did not have legal status to be in this country. so several months later, chris comes to me and he said congressman, i did my job. i put on the uniform. i went and defended my country. mr. congressman, i did my job. and if you had been doing your, my daughter would be here today. president trump has taken that mantle very seriously. t is his goal, it is his requirement, to defend our country at the southern border. and the president will do just that. if you read the history of emergency declarations in the past you will find a number of them, some perhaps you might a

he will do -- he has to declare a national emergency. is it a national emergency? is there something to actually declare an emergency about? congress is saying no. the president has brought authority. courts generally defer to the executive in this situation where there is no objective criteria. he would be evoking national security -- national emergency act to assist the military. is the border a military operation? it is department of homeland security. the president has sent troops there but has not use them. is there a military aspect to money? to build facilities in support of the military? build, is there an actual military need over all 2000 miles of the border? is it just certain places? the administration has to specify where it wants to build the wall. there is the broad overall constitutional question. article one, you cannot spend money that congress has not authorized. does the 1976 act supersede the constitution? reporter: that is where i was going to go to next. --hael mckee mentioned it talking about congress is most significant power is the power o

we love having the national guard go in when there's a hurricane or national disaster or core of engineershen a dam is going to break or something is going to flood. we don't generally look at the military as a replacement for civilian activities, particularly construction activities. >> we really recoil from that. there is a law called posse coma tatis that prohibits them from doing something on the soil. we understood from the founding of the country there is great danger in that kind of thing. we understood from the beginning that these checks and balances are part of what makes us free and what makes us special. and you're right, look, there are real emergencies. there are all kinds of debates over policy. but we look all around the world and know that when leaders can declare an emergency and use the extra power that comes with that, it can be quite dangerous. so one of the things that i hope happens out of this, in any event, is that this national emergencies act which honestly most of us had no idea existed -- >> we perhaps need to narrow that up a bit. >> it was intended to make it

that opioid deaths are not a national emergency? that climate change is not a national emergency? this will allow a president to sideline congress for much of domestic policy. bear in mind, congress over the years has already on its own, i believe, given up a lot of its authority with respect to foreign policy. it's also clear that there is no emergency at the border. border crossings are at a four decades low. the folks who are coming today are presenting themselves to border patrol agents seeking asylum, not trying to get around the border. there are more law enforcement officers at our border, federal, state, and local officers than at any time in our nation's history. since its founding, this country has become the most powerful and prosperous on the face of the earth without a border wall. that's why most americans disagree with the president usurping the power of congress to build his border wall. in fact, not only do they disagree with that, they disagree with using military construction money on this border project. cities like mine in san antonio stand to lose millions of

it was national in scope, it had a great vision from a national level, but it was implemented state-by-state. so when we talk about the ability to do things consistently and while everybody is going to do their own thing, we have a perfect example of how that can be done by 50 states working together in partnership with the federal government to deliver a system that looks and feels the same from east to west and north to south. that regional system now involves 49,000 miles of roadways, 57,000 bridges, and while that makes up about 1% of all of the miles of roadways in the country, it carries 25% of all the vehicle miles traveled on a daily and annual basis. what is interesting is the current system closely resembles what was originally sketched out in the early 1950s. some modifications sure, there is some good things and bad things and the committee really dove into all of those. >> much since its inception, a lot has changed. originally envisioned to serve longer distance travel and national defense, today it serves both local and long- distance travel, greatly expanded truck traffic and

a national emergency just directed to building a wall okay everyone germans understand that the national a declaration national emergency was in fact given the present by congress to set lay some of their fears and take away some of these nuances related to the the hitler. yes because that'll emergency something in this topic alone is in german history so loaded with the with negative things that. that it's very hard to understand that was already bye bye bye bye former presidents given to a thing six sixty time. it has a special history and its special reasons and so if it's it's it's quite quite difficult. to train them to understand to understand it for a twenty five months now he's still failed to build the wall his major policy objectives. now it it's costing him support and this is in fact his last chance to get it built by declaring national emergency. i'm is this a make or break moment for the president. i think first and foremost we should look at this moment as an attempt by the president to follow through on a campaign promise to build a wall on the border with mexico. but wit
