>> no, absolutely not. the president is a big disgusting liar that is pushing a big disgusting inhumane pure evil policy that rips babies from the arms of their mothers. lets be very clear, what this president and this administration is doing has been done throughout history by the biggest purveyors of evil that we have ever seen. slave traders used these tactics. nazis used these tactics. terrorists used these tactics and now the president of the united states is using these tactics through his...

Qualify. go ahead. >> okay. thank you. thank you. id love to jump in on this conversation. first, it is true. it is true that china has been a bad actor specifically with regard to our intellectual property. if you want to do business in china, often you have to transfer your technology to chinese firms. thats a bad thing. its false to say that obama did nothing about it. the transpacific type, tpp, was specifically about keeping china in line. it wasnt only the united states that had companies ...

A "washington post" piece tonight that i think explains the calculation behind what you hear president trump saying there in terms of trying to pin this on democrats. they say, president trump has calculated that he will gain political leverage in congressional negotiations by continuing to enforce a policy he claims to hate. the attempt to gain advantage from a practice the american academy of pediatrics describes as causing children irreparable harm sets up a high-stakes gambit for trump, whos...

Families should be kept together, i think a lot of them also believe that their constituents support president trump more than they care about family unification on the mexican/u.s. border. i think franco is absolutely right that this has always been sort of a moral question in u.s. immigration policy about keeping families together, and its one that has survived for a long time. the idea that families should be able to be kept together once theyre here and also, in fact, from one family member ...

>> to the white house the sending signals that if the president sees this as leverage in trying to get something through on immigration that the contours of what that i are looking for includes the wall, limits and restrictions on immigration, protection for families at the border. is there any appetite to go down that road or is it a complete dead end to start with? >> lets remember that back in january when they were talking about taking away daca. they were ready to cut a deal and ready to pa...

To a cohesive, singular policy in terms of immigration. and, in fact, just that past week and speaking with republicans on capitol hill, the divide within the republican party right now to move forward on the issue of immigration, it is stalled. i mean, youve got half of the republican party suggesting that there has to be, you know, no amnesty. the other half saying there is amnesty. this debate has been going on well before president trump took office. but this is a president who campaigned on...

Talking to conservative republicans who said that their constituents dont like these policies of separating families. both the president and republicans in congress know that this policy is unsustainable politically, which is why theyre blaming democrats for the policy that the president has put in place and that the attorney general has argued this week is a policy that essentially comes from god. i dont know if you saw jeff sessions remarks about the apostle paul and the idea that laws should ...

What you have seen as a republican party that is very much with president trump and a lot of these lawmakers and thing think families should be kept together. a lot of them believe it is more than they kair about unification on the mexican us border. what we are seeing is a white house that believes strongly in a policy of stopping that kind of migration and willing to separate families for the purposes of driving political leverage. >> what has the reaction been outside of the united states?

All familiar with the presidents routine lies about things large and small, everything from paul manaforts role in his campaign, more on that later, to the crowd size at his inauguration. but this particular lie that the democrats are responsible for a policy put in place by his own department of justice and announced by his attorney general is different. because its an attempt to deflect blame for an urgent moral crisis happening at this very moment in our country. crisis of this presidents own...
