Transcript
00:00Thank you Mr. President. Your federalization of the police has a 30-day limit unless Congress
00:07acts to extend it. Are you talking to Congress about extending it or do you believe 30 days
00:11is sufficient? Well if it's a national emergency we can do it without Congress but we expect to be
00:16to Congress before Congress very quickly and again we think the Democrats will not do anything
00:21to stop crime but we think the Republicans will do it almost unanimously. So we're going to need
00:27a crime bill that we're going to be putting in and it's going to pertain initially to D.C.
00:33it's almost we're going to use it as a very positive example and we're going to be asking
00:39for extensions on that long-term extensions because you can't have 30 days 30 days is that's by the
00:44time you do it we're going to have this in good shape and don't forget in the border everyone
00:51said it would take years and you'd have to go back to Congress I never went to Congress for anything
00:55I just said close the border and they closed the border and that was the end of it I didn't go
01:02back to Congress now we're going to do this very quickly but we're going to want extensions I don't
01:07want to call national emergency if I have to I will but I think the Republicans in Congress will approve
01:13this pretty much unanimously please go ahead thank you mr. president would you encourage
