Respect. its different because its about little kids, and that is something the president does not seem to appreciate. this is why i think theyre misreading the politics so much because when he talks about infestation, that language, the democrats are for infestation, that is a discussion of people as vermin. that is what that language is. its a language of right-wing, nationalist, white, fringe politics in europe. its part of the reason why we have such a hard time talking about it in some ways...

Investigations, recriminations. the president being the president will dig in. today it was a case study in non-presidential leadership. he went in front of the house, the republican conference, and said, im for both bills, keep fighting. >> and didnt here a peep in opposition. >> quietly theyre all horrified. the senate will move fast, and they will follow. the legal problem is its a little tricky to figure out how the congress can micro manage the justice department. lamar alexander in the sen...

Horibility. youre right that republicans are not confront him in that meeting. but were now seeing republican senators sending the president letters and putting it on his doorstep. were seeing republican governors who are pulling back national guard from the border. finally, i think we saw stephen miller today in "the new york times" saying this is a 90/10 issue for the president. if you define this as secure borders versus insecure borders and open brders, its a 90/10 issue. the president is on...

Herself the face of the administration, taking questions from reporters yesterday defending this policy. look, we know behind the scenes that she has not been a strong endorser of it. some accused her of even slow walking the policy. nonetheless, you had her out there defending it or the president. youve had john kelly who in the past has talked about this as a potential deterrence issue. right now theyre really presenting this unified front despite the fact there has been some internal back and...

The ones who do matter the most here, and why some have labeled this using the serious charge of government-sponsored child abuse. well ask our next guest, the president of the american academy of pediatrics, whos been allowed to visit some of these children. and later on, a message posted to twitter intended for an audience of one, sent from the presidents newest campaign manager. what he thinks trump should do next. "the 11th hour" just getting started tonight. still a chance here. its willi...

She chose to dine tonight in washington at a mexican restaurant of all places. >> shame on nielsen, shame on trump. shame on nielsen, shame on trump. >> the secretary was escorted out to a waiting suv. the immigration crisis as the u.s. southern border is testing the relationship between the president and his party. the pictures of migrant children taken from their parents are fueling new fears among republicans about the impact on voters in november. tonight the president met with house republi...

>> quit separating the kids. theyre separating the children. mr. president, dont you have kids? >> again, the president of the united states being, in effect, heckled by members of congress in the other party tonight. extraordinary sight on the hill. congressman billy long of missouri was in that gop meet eg ing, sent out this photo via twitter. the president gave his brief assessment as he left the hill. >> mr. president, if you believe -- >> these are laws that have been broken for many years,...

Shelters as government-sanctioned, meaning they were touring with us because we are not free to shoot video of whats happening inside these centers. our thanks tonight to dr. colleen kraft. coming up, we turn to politics. michael cohen reportedly hires a new lawyer while trumps campaign manager takes a hit at a member of the presidents cabinet. all of that next as we continue. ♪ if you have recurring constipation and belly pain, talk to your doctor and say yesss! to linzess. yesss! linzess t...

He wants to take, guy petrillo will do a good job. if he wants to fight this, he can fight this. this is a very sound, strategic hire for michael cohen to get someone who really knows the southern district of new york, understands the inner workings as guy does and can also deal with whichever way this goes. >> and, jonathan, you know the dynamic here. heres michael cohen sitting at home, watching television for signs of loyalty from the president. the president giveth and taketh away at the sam...

Which is the moral grounding and the fine political calibration. because he doesnt have the moral grounding and doesnt recognize that when you are talking about children, you are talking about something different than all of the other scapegoats and boogiemen that he likes to cite and that he often does win by scapegoating. i think its different, and i think again as i said before, its not just disgraceful and disgusting and disheartening, but i think its an issue on which the president is reall...
