Hi everyone, it's me, Daya and I am not here today with a new episode of Amicus. We are off this week,

but I am here with something nice. This week I joined What Next,

Slates' new, fantastic daily podcast to talk about among other things at Supreme Court Justice

Ruth Bader Ginsburg and whether you should freak out about her absence from oral arguments this

past week. What Next is one of my favorite new shows of this year and I will be a frequent commentator

on the program if they'll have me. It's hosted by a longtime journalist and podcast

Ramari Harris. What Next will be coming to you each and every weekday with smart critical

analysis from Inside Slates Newsroom. Every episode of the show tackles some of the biggest issues

and questions facing American politics and culture and society and there is really nobody better

to do this than Mary. If you like what you hear, I do encourage you to subscribe to this podcast

in its own feed. It's the very best way to support the show and also to support all the journalism

that we do here at Slate. Thank you so much for listening. Enjoy.

I'm just oh you're are you cold? Get out of here. President Trump seemed to be losing patience

with a press conference about one week ago today. Now I've just said you want should we keep this

going a little bit? Yes indeed. Go ahead. Let me know when you get tired. And that's when you

revealed this one less trick he has up his sleeve when it comes to the border wall he wants to build.

Have you considered using emergency powers to grant yourself authorities to build this wall

without congressional approval? And second on Mexico you have. Yes I have and I can do it if I want.

Even the reporter who asked this question seemed a little surprised by the answer.

So is that a threat hanging over the Democrats? I never threatened anybody.

But but I am allowed to do that. Yes.

Each day since there has been this debate can President Trump actually do this?
