Sen. Rand Paul wants to move it out of the House into the Senate.
I agree with him. Great move. He can send the text of the speech to the House members via email and give the speech to the Senate. The only thing poor old Nancy has done is make sure he'll have the biggest audience ever because she's hoping to ride his coat tails once again. Let's face it, as ghoulishly entertaining as it is to watch her attempt to make a point, she can't get the msm to cover much of her ramblings anymore. Too embarrassing for them. She can't draw tens of thousands of people the way Trump does.
Since the security services say they're ready to roll I see no reason to postpone anything. The Senate chambers have the same equipment as the House so let the show go on!

I'd call an emergency session of Congress, which is within his authority to do, and start the session by announcing that I had used Executive Order to fully fund the Wall from existing funds in the name of National Security (again, fully within the authority of the POTUS) and demand Congress have a budget ready for my signature the following morning that addressed the reappropriated funds as well as funding backpay for all furloughed government workers IN ADDITION to a 50% bonus on all hours worked by essential personnel. Turn to the camera, say "The state of our Union is being threatened in ways never before seen. The backbiting and gamesmanship being played in the name of partisan pandering is trying to destroy that union. BUT the state of our nation is strong, and these actions I have taken and demanded today will further strengthen it. I will not hesitate to enact further EOs and use additional tools at my disposal as president if need be and anyone, be they Democrat or Republican, who continue to pander and put their Kept Voter's interests above the Constitution and above the nation as whole will find themselves embarrassed publicly. God bless America." Turn 180 degrees to throw a middle finger right in Pelosi's face, drop the mic, strut out, show over.
That speech is worthy of Andrew Jackson in his fight with Congress. I don't think the US has been subjected to this kind of partisanship since the days of Jackson fighting the Bank.
...the greater good...
