i was wondering why the washington post did not focus in the story on how smugglers are getting into the country illegally. isn t that the point? whether they re using saws or anything else, is the point that they re getting in illegally somehow or that the wall s not perfect? look, the wall no walls are impenetrable, and we ve said it from day one. the wall slows people down. and so when they made the six prototypes, they came up with the system for a couple reasons. one, they can see through the it. and second of all, when a ballard does get cut through, it s easily replaceable. the bottom line is, ed, the new wall s working. till legal crossings, wherever our wall is built, is down. the drugs are down. to the wall s slowing people down. that s why they talk about a wall system, you need the technology so if someone incurs it, you re going to get sensor technology, and plus the resources to respond to incursion. i ll say it again, the wall s about slowing people down,
the anemia room, and we can t let those stand. we can t let that kind of language continue to be propagated. and, you know, i m waiting for some of the democrats, either some of our elected congress people that are democrats in arizona, statewide office, candidates, i m waiting for system of those democrats to denounce those comments from the chairman of their own party. ed: yeah, dr. ward,we certainly should expect comments from them, and it s stunning that they haven t spoke out. the target s it would be hard to defend the comments, but i would point out there was a party official saying that what the, your counterpart at the democratic chair was saying was that because the president wanted to pull the remaining u.s. troops out of syria, that he was essentially aiding isis, and that is their explanation anyway. you re not buying it. well, you know, it s pretty ridiculous. we all know that president trump and his foreign policy has been focused on defeating if not
why the police were cracking down on people who weren t paying their subway fares. well, if you re going to use the subway, you re supposed to pay the 2.75, not hop over the gates. brooklyn has been the focus, there s also been anger about video showing a 15-year-old who was punched by the police. we don t know what happened right before that frame in the video, so this goes back and forth. guess who s weighing in? alexandria ocasio-cortez, of course, she says on twitter: ending mass incarceration means challenging a system that jails the poor to free the rich. arresting people who can t afford a $2.75 fare makes no one safer and destabilizes our community. new yorkers know that, they re not having it, and they re standing up for each other. pete: absolute lunacy. destabilizes our community to enforce the rule of law? we had three nypd officers on the program earlier who broke this down. and one of the guys who worked at the mta said almost everybody
sense to me. who gets paid and how much, and is there differences in gender and what sport? the bigtime sport, the small sports? once you let this rabbit out of the hat, where does it go? well, i think the system really needs to be modernized because these rules were made years ago before collegiate sports were big business and before we had multiple channels broadcasting collegiate sports. so now these college athletes have the opportunity to make a little money, and i do think this will incentivize them to stay in school and to graduate because they will have that money, and they can create a little bit of a nest egg and maybe help e them for their future. so i think it could the really be very helpful to these athletes. pete: chris, your response. i m legitimately are conflicted. you understand the sense of i make all this money for the university and see none of it but, man, college is college. there s a purity people love. look, i think we ve forgotten, in essence, what sports
yesterday that was a book about the president and immigration. the key part to the story are the president s discussion of an insane wall system with, quote, a water filled trench stocked with snakes or alligators. president urging american border patrol agents to shoot migrants in the legs. also, as is broken by jake tapper at cnn and confirmed the president instructing acting secretary of homeland secretary to break the law offering him a pardon in exchange. today the president on an unhinged rant by attacking the paper he thought published it, the washington post. it was actually published by the new york times. here with me one of the writers of that piece, co-author of border wars, inside trump s assault on immigration. i want to talk about the context of shoot them in the legs. that stuck with me the most. it s such a violent, grim, and lawless instruction. what was the context?
