Haunting. As always, you can find me on facebook, twitter, snapchat and instagram. Im around on social media all day long. I will also, just as a quick programming note not be seeing you for the next week. My colleagues will be stepping in for me as i take a little time. Wont be heading to jersey, stef. I know thats your favorite place. Clearly its not a vacation. I cant imagine what youre going to be doing. What else would one want to do . Take it away. All right, my friend. Enjoy. Thank you. Good morning everyone. Im back. Stephanie ruhle here, my partner off today. Friday, august 2018. It is the 10th. Some parts of the country, it does seem like the america we know and love doesnt exist anymore. Massive demographic changes have been put on the american people. Much is related to illegal and
legal immigration which some love. Laura ingram and her White Supremacist speech. Im still at a loss as to how that made it to air. Yesterday, melania trumps parents became u. S. Citizens and were able to use a family based Chain Migration. That is what the president has railed against over and over. Get rid of Chain Migration. It is a disaster. We have to end Chain Migration. A fight over immigration raging once again as a judge halts a deportation in progress. He said he would hold attorney Jeff Sessions, Homeland Security secretary and other Government Officials in contempt if the mother and child were not brought back. The time has come to establish the United States space force. The goal . To have it up and running by 2020. The other piece of it is the cost. Its 8 billion over the next five years, thats the initial. The annual economy for Space Activity is 350 billion annually. President trump is really doing the right drithing by mak sure its secure. What you have is the product of an impulse rather than the product of a study. State of emergency has been declared in charlottesville, virginia ahead of the one Year Anniversary of the violent rally. They did commemorate the tragic Death Of Heather heather. I dont want to see the devastation we saw last year. Not knowing what steps these altright groups might take. You know those times when you come across looking ugly and try to explain your kmintss acommeng
Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Trump are not being served by his policies. Look at wages continuing to lag. Its not the forgotten american. Its the american who can no longer say go and get that, boy. Like Jeff Sessions, who got in a massive amount of trouble for once saying that to an africanamerican colleague. This aint a story about the forgotten american. No. Its not. Weve seen poll after poll come out and say that the people who elected donald trump were not poor white voters for the most part. But the people will did vote at the bottom rung voted because they thought they would get change. They had 8 years of Nonstop Vilification of barack obama who we can say at this point was the last of the normal president s of the first 44 president s of the United States. That being said, the things that are being said today are fundamentally unamerican. Id say this all the time when
this morning, the president took to twitter just before 9 00 a. M. To again go after nfl players, when if p you think about the news cycle, what could we have been focusing on today . That a judge specifically called out the Trump Administration, we could have been starting the day talking about milian ya trump who is parents were made u. S. Citizens and uses the system the president rails against calling it Chain Migration. We could have led the show about pl manafort, the president s former Campaign Manager who is now Possibilitily Facing Life Imprisonment for tax fraud. We could have gone after wilbur ross and the Bombshell Story that came out about the conflicts of interest. But nope. We didnt talk about any of those things or the fact that this is the one Year Anniversaryof charlottesville, which many republicans consider the lowest point in the president s administration. Remember, he looked at those riots and said, blame is on many, many sides. When remember, a peace protester, Heather Heyer was killed. Talk about this. President has turned and said look, the nfl, those players, boys who have the privilege of making millions, and heres a thing. These a winning distraction. Its for him for the people who already like him. For the people who wall low in grievance and rage and hate. And for people for whom, laura ingram speaks. That they are worried that theyre going to be left behind again, that theyre going to be forgotten again in their minds. Charlottesville, to me, was among all of the horrific things President Trump has done, just on issue on culture issues, ch that was the one that was most egregious, when a nation is
hurting, when a nation is reeling at hate openly displayed, nazisba walking on t streets on live television, we look to the president of the United States to be able to say to us, this is not who we are. This is not what we are about. We will come together and heal. He did the exact opposite and seeded the moral authority of the presidency. And hes okay with that. People voted for the president yes. The point i was trying to make is a year later, a year after, were hip to his game. We know what hes doing. We know what hes doing by those tweets. We know what hes doing by trying to inflame the hate and rage but were not blind to it. Fact that you read all of those things that were not talking about, because of that tweet, just before 9 00, proves my point. Folks are not dumb. Folks are not stupid. They know what hes doing. I think that hes going to pay the price for it. And, in cable news, mr. President , we got time to cover all of it. Malcolm, to jonathans exact point, were hip to the president and also a year ago, and he fire omarosa releasing a new book. Claims she has tapes that prove he uses the n word. Can you imagine what Robert Mueller has . Lets say she has these tapes. Doesn does it matter . It will matter to a small part of the elector rate. I think john in a than is right. I want to stop having the people use dog whistle for racism. I know a megaphone when i hear one. When david duke is the first person to smonds to yrespond toe
pretty much a raisicist. When he makes the statements to the nfl is filters down to a male class of our society that watch sports television. I have this let me tell you. But malcolm, hold on a second. In the navy. Shouldnt we give sports more credit . Lebron james said it. Sport is what brings us together. Right. But its sports talk radio, which is where this is infiltrati infiltrating. That, of course enhances the racist affect. What i was i have a sailor im mentoring in the United States navy. Hes a muslim american. He literally got kicked off of a ship over baseless accusations because he is a muslim. He must be a security threat. I literally said to this guy, this is not what our navy is
about. Theres only three ethnicities in our navy, officer, enlisted, and chief. Thats what its doing to our society. This is infiltrating the armed forces. Marines had to kick out a neonazi. We need to be speaking like a nation. Said if youre racist, out of my military. Same thing with our country. But now we have its coming from the National Command authority. Commander in chief himself. I would hope that all of the everyone who works below him would at least come out and give the Zero Tolerance policy if the president himself doesnt. Thank you so much. Remember when charlottesville happened. Only one person in the administration, gary cohn spoke out against the president and he doesnt work there anymore. Everyone else was silent. Zero tolerance policy, ivanka trump said it was a low point. I remind her, it is a low point. During this administration, if youre fortunate enough to have that kind of power and influence, please use it for good. Thank you both. Former Trump White House aide omarosa. She allegedly has the tapes to back up her accounts. Tune in on monday where shell be joining us. Next, first inlaws are officially american citizens. Did they use the very Immigration Method the president has railed against for much of his presidency. War goi were going to dig into Family Reunification. Last night a high profile supporter faced an important question and came up empty. One by one by one we can defuse this nuclear bomb of hate were in as a society by
thinking of everyone as our family. And how we treat our kids. I think thats a beautiful thought but just in literal terms, there are families being torn apart at the border of this country. They are literally families being torn apart as a result of what this president is doing. I think that we cannot forget that. Whether we like his personality or not, his actions are really what matter. I mean youve so famously and powerfully said george bush doesnt care about black people. It makes me wonder what makes you think that donald trump does . Or any people at all . Why dont we take a break and come back . Olay ultra moisture body wash
have, millions have, in getting citizenship and waiting the requisite period of time. The application, the process, Init Ter View was no different than anybody elses. Maybe there is something their lawyer did not acknowledge, something he did not acknowledge until he was directly asked. Melanias parents came through the system known as Family Reunification. A u. S. Immigration policy that their soninlaw, the president of the United States like to aggressively call Chain Migration, a system he absolutely loves to hate. Chain migration is one of the disasters. Chain migration is a disaster. A disaster. A total disaster. We have to end Chain Migration. We have to end Chain Migration. Not an exaggeration, the president , he likes the term Chain Migration almost as much as he likes the words no collusion. But what exactly does it mean . Well actually, chain
migration is officially, as i mentioned, called Family Reunification and the process which legal u. S. Residents can bring Family Members over from other countries. It is the most common kind of immigration by a mile. Between 60 and 70 of all legal immigrants came with family ties. Green card holders can petition for a spouse or unmarried children to emigrate. U. S. Is petition for all married or not a spouse or siblings. But no one can petition for an aunt, uncle cousin or grand parent. That did not stop the president from saying this as the state of the Union Address back in january. A single immigrant can bring in virtually unlimited numbers of distant relatives. Thats the president in the State Of The Union lying to us. And ps, just because you petition for Family Members, there are absolutely no guarantees. And waiting periods can last anywhere from a few months to decades. There are really only two ways you are guaranteed citizen. If youre born in the United States, elsewhere and at least one parent is an american citizen. Beyond that, all foreigners have to go through a naturalization process, 18 years old, have lived here legally for at least 5 years, read, write and speak basic english, know the fundamentals of u. S. Government and have a good moral character. I know somebody who has that. My friend Jacob Soboroff. Help us through this because melanias parents lawyer said they followed all of the rules, came here legally, but if President Trump got his way, if we ended this type of Immigration System. There would be no easy pass for her family. No. And congratulations to the president s inlaws, i should say. This is exciting time for them. Just like it is for so many people that are coming from All Around The World to be reunited
with their families. This is the administration by the way that has torn apart another type of family. Families that come and present asylum at the southern border. Irony is obviously rich that the president continues to rail against this issue of Chain Migration. Advocated for this point based Immigration System like they use in canada, and his own just looking at the pictures, it is so ironic his own inlaws are the ones to benefit from this. And he hasnt said a peep, by the way about this. Do we expect the white house is going to say something. Im sure you have reached out. Our white house reporters have. It would be absolutely normal for the president to congratulation his inlaws, but he has said nothing. I mean the system they used is the system he thinks is dirty and should end. Yeah. I dont know. I mean i just checked the twitter before i came on. Nothing from him or melania. Chris has a good theory. Im sorry to make light but its crazy. Maybe he doesnt want his inlaws hear . Maybe a l here. Maybe its familial issue. I dont understand how the president could rail so forcefully against this, and then, in plain sight, have this Press Conference with the attorney and his own inlaws who are obviously ecstatic to now be United States citizens, as they should be. They should be. Its absolutely fantastic. We need to remind our viewers of the real situation going on now thats impacting so many people. Ivanka trump called the policy a low point. It was a low point. It is one. 539 children remain separated from the parents. 386 have parents who have already been deported. Luckily, Jacob Soboroff is covering this day in and day
out. Were not going to forget about it. As an american and fellow parent, i just want to say thanks. Thanks. Up next, a federal judge is threatening to hold the Attorney General and secretary of Homeland Security in Contempt Of Court and ordered a plane to turn around after learning the administration deported a mother and daughter whose Court Process was still going on. Youre watching velshi ruhle. Youve tried moisturizer after moisturizer
so it bounces back. Neutrogena®
welcome back. Please turn up the 0 volume for this. A federal judge threatened to hold Attorney GeneralJeff Sessions and the Homeland Security secretary in Contempt Of Court after learning the Trump Administration deported an Immigrant Mother and her daughter has their Court Proceedings were under way. New york times reports the two asylum seekers. Please listen to that again, not some criminals, were woken and put on a plane back to el salvador. Judge ordered the plane to turn around and expressed outrage saying someone speaking justice is Spirited Away while attorneys are arguing for ju justice is nt
acceptable. One of the attorneys representing is the director at the add we understand it, the mother and daughter did not get off the plane in el salvador. I assume theyre coming back to the United States. What do they have to expect . And tell us where they came from and why. Sure. I think thats a great place to start is where they came from and why. Because its hard for any of us, i think to imagine, but weve got to try to imagine ourselves in the situation of a mother and a child like this. Mom had been raped and abused physically abused, for decades. Repeatedly. In el salvador. She fled because the police could not protect her, because she was worried about her daughter. You know, her daughters survival in this environment and what kind of life she would be
able to lead given this. The administration wants Gang Violence to longer be applicable. Essentially the in you decision by Jeff Sessions says if youre seeking asylum in this country because of Domestic Violence or Gang Violence, that youre freei youre fleeing at home, we think you generally cannot qualify. That is contrary to the governments own position, until he issued this order. Its contrary to decades of decisions by International Bodies and domestic courts and most importantly simply illegal. He doesnt get to decide to change the standard for who gets asylum in this country. If he doesnt get to decide, how does this woman and her daughter get ripped away in the mi
