This happening and then 19 minutes followed, it was nothing sort of a spectacle to borrow a line from brian stelter. it was like the presidents twitter feed had come to life. talking about that is april ryan, white house correspondent for american urban radio networks. good to have you on. i always think of you for all the white house perspective. you have been covering, you know, so many administrations for more than 20 years, and i just -- you know, have you ever seen a president walk on out o...

It is their choice. and i dont understand why theyre not owning up to it. theyre hiding behind the law and the bible. it is their choice. the law is not on their side. and then just getting to the religious aspects of it. thats not where i am, but just -- there is a reason why other administrations, democratic and republican did not do this before. its mean. its cruel. its not who we are. its not demanded by the law. its ineffective because the border numbers are not in the trump administrations...

White house roles, positions, like policy analyst, international economist, positions in human resources, and the tradeoffs. so its painting this picture of a white house going through every avenue they can to attract people. and having a tough time in some cases. >> job fairs and job websites. how out of character is this with past administrations? >> so i actually spoke with someone who worked in the presidential personnel office, was a director several years back, mark friedman, worked under ...

Other administrations, democratic and republican did not do this before. its mean. its cruel. its not who we are. its not demanded by the law. its ineffective because the border numbers are not in the trump administrations favor. theyre actually increasing right now. but most importantly, family unification is actually the most important thing to stabilize communities that are coming from really horrible areas whether theyre allowed to stay here or they go back. any nation that decides to tear c...

Kim. did kim get a propaganda boost from this as well, you think? >> absolutely. i think the whole thing ended up being this incredible propaganda gift to the north korean government. thats what i was saying. i think its strange that trump is doing so much propaganda work for other nations right now. you know, if he wasnt working for the united states, youd think he was working for them. you know, i think they saw it as a win, win, win. nothing to lose here. they got to be on a co-equal standing...

Because theres not a problem with our allies specifically, but people who have to face this threat most directly, japan, south korea, australia, our key allies are supported. you do have a left-wing government south korea which in the past has been very prone to appeasement and believing north korea when they shouldnt be believed but so far, the president has managed to keep them on side. >> harris: real quickly, if kim jong un and he says hes accepted the invitation, comes to the white house, w...

Dont care about the people that come into this country. its more than that. >> i think its complex. thats why congress throughout different administrations has not been able to address it. its not just republicans. it democrats. henry cuellar from texas said he wont vote for anything that doesnt have border funding. what do you think? >> i think both sides have been lying for decades about what they want to have happen. >> preach it, sister. >> ill keep going. there are people from states that r...
