Donald Trump’s son, Eric, joined Hannity on Tuesday where he pushed the president to declare a national emergency if he doesn’t get the $5.7 billion he wants for the border wall. The president reopened the government last Friday after a 35 day shutdown, the longest in this nation’s history, but reopening the government didn’t come without conditions. If a deal isn’t reached on funding for the border wall within three weeks, the president could once again shut down the government, as he has threatened to do, or declare a national emergency to get the funding.\n\nDuring the shutdown, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that they would only negotiate if the government was reopened. Now with the government up and running, if Pelosi and Schumer don’t do exactly that, Eric said, “Honestly, if they don’t, declare the emergency, build the wall with the United States military because that’s what people in this country want.”\n\nIt wouldn’t be quite as easy as Eric made it seem as the president would likely face lengthy legal battles if he was to declare an emergency to get the funding.\n\nAnd though many of the president’s most ardent supporters have turned against him for reopening the government without wall funding, Sean Hannity views it as a change of strategy. Though he’s extremely close to the president, Hannity claimed to have no inside knowledge of the president’s next move, but believes he knows what’s coming.\n\n“I am 99% certain that when they cannot do a deal and cannot do their job, your father will go to plan B,” Hannity said. “That means they get no DACA, no dreamer help, none of the things that they say they wanted…”
