Today on the Matt Walsh show, Trump signs a disastrous spending bill, but he's trying to mitigate it by declaring a national emergency to build the wall as well.

Will that strategy work? Will it pay off?

We will discuss. Also, we'll talk about the latest in the jussie-smallet case.

It continues to unravel more and more revelations. We'll get into all that today as well.

And finally, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is spiking the football and celebrating because she prevented Amazon from bringing 25,000 jobs to New York.

What does this tell us about the state of the modern democratic party? We'll talk about all that today on the Matt Walsh show.

All right, a lot of news today. I don't even know where to begin exactly, but I guess we'll begin with the most obvious thing.

President Trump gave a speech in the Rose Garden this morning declaring a national emergency so that he could build the wall.

Now, he is also signing a disastrous 1000 plus page spending bill that would undermine undercut, undo everything that he's been trying to do with respect to the wall.

It's more than a thousand pages, like I said, so nobody's read the whole thing.

Part for the course these days. Nobody knows exactly what's in it. We just kind of, you know, you just sign it and you'll find out it's fun to find out after you've already signed the thing.

It's like one of those, you know, you went to, when you went to birthday parties when you were a little kid and they gave you a little, a little pride, a little gift bags, a little prize bags. And which was a good thing that everyone had to get a gift at a birthday party, right.

Which is maybe why millennials have grown up to be such whiny babies is because we grew up, you know, when we grew up, even we got birthday, got presents at other people's birthday parties.

Anyway, so 1000 pages, nobody knows what's in it. But we do know some of the highlights or the low lights, I guess we should say Daniel Horowitz, a conservative review has a he's been on top of this had a good right up at that website and he gives us five insane provisions in the bill, including just $1.3 billion for the wall or fence no wall, by the way, is allowed to be built with this, which will cover only 55 miles.

And that is instead of the 25 billion and hundreds of miles of wall that Trump originally wanted. It's also less than the 1.6, the 1.6 billion that Democrats originally agreed to.

So things have gone down, the deal was negotiated down.

Democrats end up with something better for them than their original offer. The bill also prohibits any fencing on federal or state lands.

And even in the small slice of area where the fence can be built, local officials who happen to be liberal for the most part coincidentally in the little piece of area where they're allowing the fence to be built.

Just so happens that those are more liberal controlled areas and oh, by the way, the local authorities can veto the construction, you have to get there, their approval. And if they don't approve, it's not going to happen.

So of course, what does that mean? It means that probably from this bill, nothing will be built at all.

More from Horowitz, he says there's more funding to manage and induce the invasion of immigrants, rather than to deter it.

While offering no new funding for ice deportation agents or immigration, or immigration judges to speed up asylum claims as the president requested this bill adds another $40 million for the alternatives to detention program, which moves asylum seekers to facilities in the interior of the country.
