Crisis at our border. largely of president trump's making. the idea he's not responsible for the conditions at the border and the ways in which children in custody of the american government are being treated, i think misses the core point here which is as president he is responsible for what happens in hhs and in cbp facilities and by their organization. that he said in a segment you just showed earlier this evening, he literally hasn't met and doesn't know the name of senior officials within the relevant agency suggesting a lack of interest and engagement. i'll remind you, it is president tr...

Too. it's called party politics. and they do have internal debates. now, the core point here is in the politics of china right now, which is just celebrating the hundredth anniversary of something called the may 4th movement, which mr. pillburry would know all about. it's a highly nationalist period to deal with the rise of chinese nationalism a hundred years ago, with response to external pressure from foreign powers. i find it highly significant that china in response to this latest twist in the trump administration's trade policy is now itself going down the nationalist road and saying, her...

And this clearly seems to me a case where not students' athleticism but the amount of money that their parents owned mattered more in the admissions process. >> brooke, to speak to the numbers quickly, "the atlantic" ran a great piece titled "college sports are affirmative action for rich, white students." it found that harvard admitted 83% of athletes with top academic scores compared with only 16% of non-athletes. so this is also blowing the lid on how these elite institutions look at athletes and how they prioritize athletes. >> if i can make this last point, then i know we're out of time. ...

Have the title of donald trump's next memoir, "otherwise blameless life." to hear any washington lobbyist described as having lived an otherwise blameless life is a first for me. those are words i personally would be very uncomfortable applying to a lifetime washington lobbyist. >> true. and obviously isuntrue about pa manafort. i mean, look, he is about to get sentenced in another criminal next week. so to suggest this is an otherwise blameless life ignores the fact he was convicted of other crimes, pled guilty to other crimes for which he'll be sentenced. and the sentence is i think ridiculo...

Months of donald trump as president. it seems like 47 months of manafort in jail seems like a very light sentence for that. and i think jill's core point here really is the most serious one, which is this just illustrates again that we have two systems of justice in this country. paul manafort engaged in $55 million in tax fraud. there are poor african-americans in jail tonight much longer than manafort's sentence who stole $55 or $155 from a 7-eleven or committed some kind of non-violent crime even, some drug offense. it's just hard to give people confidence in our criminal justice system whe...
