Country like ours. we don t penalize people for exercising their first amendment rights. maybe she they do in other couns but not in america. elijah cummingss responded, quote, president trump allowed his national security adviser michael flynn to keep his security clearance for weeks after the justice department warned that he was under investigation for lying about his secret conversations with the russians. he allowed his son-in-law jared kushner to keep his security clearance after repeatedly concealing his foreign contacts, and he also allowed his staff secretary rob porter to keep his security clearance after the white house received four fbi reports detailing allegations of domestic abuse. president trump should get his own staff security clearances in order rather than gauging in crass political retribution against former officials. lots to break down here. joining us from the white house, white house reporter for the associated press, jill coven. great to have you with us ea ....
It is a tough argument to make to say, we can t handle everyone s problems because this is different, this is something that s happening inside the home or happening in a particular neighborhood. but really, it s endemic o a caltem that is broken in these couns, and that s exactly who asylum laws are supposed to protect. how does this play in to the family separations? so obviously, a lot of these people, lik the woman interviewed in this piece, want to bring their children, they want to travel with their families and keep them together and they think tha they ll have a better life here. so very often you ll see a woman traveling with children with the expectation they ll be kept together. originally they were able to be kept in a facility. a lot of them in southern texas. and by a court ruling in the 90s, you re not able to keep children idetentiononger than 21 days. which meant that the women would be released with their children, often given a court date well into the future wh ....
i m dying to know what are these unknown facts. the interview fell down a little bit. that should have been the very next question, what facts are you talking about? this has been exhaustively covered. ere s a bookshelf full of books. there are living witnesses who is getti at. that was a missed opportunity. also, i got to say, some of this stuff is not about the spirit of the age. you ve got stuff literally carved in stone tablets thousands of years ago talking about adultery and why it s bad, talking about why immoral conduct is bad, about why you re supposed to hold yourself to a higher standard. the notion that bill clinton just got caught in a moment, well, the moment has been going on for millennials. let me ask you about the president s tweets this morning because he s certainly making a lot of headlines, claiming that the special couns is unconstitutional, also saying he has the legal right to pardon himself. he s completely wrong on the first claim. the special counsel is ....
That shooting yesterday in that school. the one big reason is the gun. mike, i just say, i agree with everything you just said. to me that s just another way of talking the puzzlement. a it s not clear to me cowardice. in the face of this mass slaughter people find more couns courage. i don t think they re wrong taking some of the votes that joe are talking about, 95% to 5% are issue. it s puzzling both that they don t have more courage and puzzling they re using this calculus that makes them think if they voted for increased background checks that would necessarily mean they would lose their seat. i think they re wrong about that. joe? they re dead wrong about ....
Sa kerry sanders. we were just speaking to a couns councilman about beaumont hospital evacuating. what can you tell us? the reason they are doing the evacuation is not a case of being flooded and not a case of power. it s a case of water. it seems strange but they don t have fresh water because the pumps in this area are down. you can t run a hospital without fresh water. there are about 200 patients maybe more, we re told by the hospital that are currently being evacuated they are going to be taken out because they need to get them to a place where they can have fresh water and clean environments. the city itself, beaumont looks like the water is receding in some places but the eoc says there are areas where the water is still rising. not at the hospital area but the water is still rising in certain areas. there s still a need for some evacuations and some people to be rescued and some people to basically try to get to high ....
