But id rather do it much faster, and i dont have to do it for the election. ive already done a lot of wall for the election, 2020. >> can we just stop pretending that this man is playing three-dimensional chess? he admitted it on television. the president said he didnt need to declare a national emergency to get his wall. then jetted off to his lavish estate, presumably for a weekend of golf, leaving five more american families to mourn their dead as others pray their loved ones will survive. bu...

Faster. >> i didnt need to do this, he said. i would rather do it faster. keep in mind, is a little odd given how slowly he has done this. this urgency has now been two years, one 35-day shutdown, endless threats, five minutes of boasting this morning in the making. it happened despite facts from his own government departments that fail to show the human invasion from the south the president so often invokes in support of the wall. something the president was questioned at length about today by ...

Given how slowly he has done this. this urgency is two years, one 35-day shutdown, endless threats, five minutes of boasting this morning in the making. it happened despite facts from his own government departments that fail to show the human invasion from the south the president so often invokes in support of the wall. something the president was questioned at length about today by a number of reporters, including jim acosta. >> i wonder if you could comment on this disconnect that we seem to h...

Presidents claim that a lot of these people crossing the border are dangerous criminals? >> yeah, ali, id love to. its not just important today when hes making the case for the wall. they will continue to use these statistics to justify a lot of policies we may see going forward against asylum seekers who are coming to the border. so on that claim, yes, less than 3%, i did the math, of people who came to the border during the latest time period, fiscal year 18, had a criminal history. but the to...

This disconnect we seem to have in this country where you are presenting information about whats happening at the border, calling it an invasion, talking about women with duct tape over their mouths and so on. yet theres a lot of reporting out there, theres a lot of crime data out there, theres a lot of department of homeland security data out there that shows border crossings at a near record low. >> thats because of us. >> undocumented -- >> excuse me, its still massive -- >> it shows undocume...

Safest cities in our country. >> the president using a false story that the barriers built in el paso are exhibit a for why he should get the full $5.7 billion he demanded far border wall or barrier or metal slats. whatever the position the case the president lays out is simply false. el paso has never had one of the highest rates of violent crime in the entire country according to fbi data. the violent crime rate has been well below the average rate for the top 35 cities with a population over ...

In place, el paso is one of the safest cities in our country. >> but is that accurate? according to crime data analyzed by the el paso time, violent crime in el paso peaked in 1993. border fence construction didnt begin until 2008. violent crime fell long before the fence was built in el paso. violent crime fell 34% between the years of 1993 and 2006 and dee margo is the republican mayor of the city of el paso, texas. thank you for being on, sir. >> thank you. >> all right. so next week, four da...

So they they said they called the reinforcements they called the Calvary and they brought us here as though he was now at an evacuation center but li...

Knowledge, progress, and the fact that they are trying to sort of monetize it in these ways or shut it down because its damning. >> each basic stuff like crime data, which is just a basic core function is much harder to come by. >> anywhere you -- anywhere you can -- there is a narrow interest that does not want the data out. climate data, fossil fuels. ranchers dont like animal abuse case data. its like one thing after another. so its the bigger problem. we have this enterprise. its incredibly ...
