Jimmy Barrett and John Labus in for Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 01/08/2019, including: How will 2019 America compare to the America of earlier generations? What is at the heart of the country’s national character? And are we in danger of losing it? “America is going through an identity crisis… The deterioration of our nation’s ‘heroic ideal’ is responsible for the country’s deepening social ills and the erosion of its vital institutions.”; Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Florida Congressman Francis Rooney proposed a Constitutional Amendment that would impose term limits on members of both houses of Congress. The amendment, co-sponsored by Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), and David Perdue (R-Ga.), would restrict senators to two six-year terms and House members to three two-year terms. A similar amendment was proposed by Cruz in January of 2017. "For too long, members of Congress have abused their power and ignored the will of the American people," Cruz said. "Term limits on members of Congress offer a solution to the brokenness we see in Washington, D.C. It is long past time for Congress to hold itself accountable. I urge my colleagues to submit this constitutional amendment to the states for speedy ratification."; President Donald Trump said Friday that he was considering declaring a national emergency to secure money for a border wall - a move that would curtail Congress on an issue that led to the ongoing government shutdown. The possibility, first reported by ABC News, is almost certain to face legal challenges if Trump were to elect to make the declaration.
