Trump's Emergency, AOC's Economics, Weld 2020
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America criticize President Trump's unusual press conference decision to declare a national emergency to work around Congress and free up $8 billion for a border wall - although they appreciate his desire to confront illegal immigration and smuggling. They also react to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cheering Amazon's decision to scrap plans for a new headquarters in New York, agreeing that crony capitalism is bad but marveling at how little she seems to understand about basic economics. And they yawn and laugh as former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld launches a GOP primary challenge to President Trump.
