shelter these migrants what help you
3:11
need from president biden the federal government right
3:14
now that you aren't already getting and how
3:16
much longer can new york continue
3:18
without more resources
3:22
what have we should be clear that this
3:24
is a as instead a humanitarian
3:27
crisis created by human hands
3:30
and it did as if it is an all
3:32
hands on deck moments where
3:35
we're all supposed to come together and coin
3:37
a coordination during a crisis is something
3:39
that we must to togetherness the federal
3:41
governments that are that is also
3:44
or the governor of the state of texas
3:46
as well as governor governor the state of
3:48
florida are we should not be
3:51
really treated in other cities and
3:53
municipalities in a manner that we're witnessing
3:55
now as so we need a resources
3:58
for housing resources make
4:00
sure that we could properly give
4:02
people the medical care all the basic
4:04
necessities as you will give new arrivals
4:06
said intercity
4:08
how long until you run out of resources
4:10
for these migrants
4:13
although we're not we're gonna follow
4:16
the law and as well as
4:18
our moral obligation responsibilities
4:20
is going to be challenging we're experiencing
4:23
the challenges and doing so but
4:25
we're obligated by law i hear the
4:27
city of new york or as as been mentioned
4:29
over and over again of this is a
4:31
right a to sell to city and
4:33
we going to fulfill our obligations
4:35
what's your message to gov abbott and gov
4:38
to santas about the migrants they
4:40
they ship to new york and other blue
4:42
state areas
4:45
while because the message for the entire country
4:48
a visa to of governors
4:50
who are hide in up have some of the axis
4:53
that they've done around gun control which
4:55
is really a proliferation from
4:57
proliferating os country or
4:59
with guns is what they do with the women's right
5:01
to choose of you see this
5:04
is their way of cover enough would many people
5:06
have been really concerned about the erosion
5:09
of basic human rights were saying
5:11
crises cause for coordination
5:14
we receive our of i have minimal
5:16
six buses are early this morning
5:19
or over eleven thousand individuals
5:22
arms asylum seeker migrants have
5:24
come to the city already or it is
5:26
time for us to coordinates are this
5:28
humanitarian crises that all
5:30
countries facing the , struggling
5:33
to process the twenty five hundred migrants
5:35
are says you from texas and
5:37
meanwhile the el paso sector of the border
5:39
season average of seventeen hundred migrants
5:42
crossing every single day a
5:44
record one point nine million
5:46
migrants have been apprehended on the southwest border this
5:48
fiscal year alone even if you
5:50
think with these governors are doing is horrific
5:53
it seems like you agree this is a crisis
5:56
that needs more attention from the by the ministry
6:00
no i believe is a crisis
6:03
they're nice more coordination for
6:05
from all countries have
6:07
no this is one countries as is a country
6:10
has always been a
6:12
capable of handling those was seeking
6:14
to participate in american dream and
6:16
that coordination should be not only one of federal
6:18
level the state level with even cities
6:21
to cities and we resulted
6:23
el paso of mayor as
6:25
well as our team attempted to reach out
6:27
to govern abbott's are they refuse
6:30
to do any form of coin a since they think
6:32
the politics of treated people inhumane
6:35
a manner to cover up i believe what
6:37
they have done around human rights the erosion
6:39
of his for these last few years
6:41
is what they believe the best way to handle it i just
6:44
disagree
6:45
would you like to see president biden and
6:47
democrats in congress make immigration reform
6:50
the priority using their political capital
6:53
to finally fix this problem there hasn't been
6:55
as you know any major immigration reform
6:57
since the reagan years
7:01
a result in traveled
7:03
to washington d c and
7:05
a great conversations with white house as
7:07
well as with arsenal assume
7:10
us senator gillibrand and
7:12
other lawmakers or to discuss
7:14
this issue i think one of the most important
7:17
parts of that we should move forward
7:19
is to allow those
7:21
new arrivals to be able to work
7:24
they came here to pursue the american dream
7:26
i don't think it really is
7:28
logical to allow people to be here for months
7:31
without the ability to a seek
7:33
employment particularly during a time when
7:35
we are seeking employees on various
7:38
sectors in our city
7:41
i'm in there were in the middle of a worker
7:43
shortage right now as i don't need to
7:45
tell you it's a big it's a big problem
7:47
all over the country new york's one of the only
7:50
cities in the united states with a right to
7:52
shelter law meaning that anyone seeking
7:54
a place to stay must be given one
7:57
be you said this week the because of this quote new and
7:59
unforeseen react the new york's quote prior
8:01
practices must be reassessed unquote
8:04
are you considering changing new york's right
8:06
the shelter law
8:09
no not at all of when i consider
8:11
and we don't believe we should
8:13
change the right to shelter law would
8:15
nice to be looked at his
8:18
the actual practices because
8:20
i'm sure forty years ago when
8:22
this law was put into place a
8:24
no one saw it or that we will receive
8:27
our eleven thousand of eleven thousand
8:29
migrants are asylum seekers and
8:31
so is the practices in parts
8:33
of it that we want to be examined to
8:35
make sure that we can actually carry out an
8:37
influx that law was put in place
8:40
for the individuals who were
8:42
living in new york and eat it sent
8:44
me a shelter under emergency situations
8:47
this is a managerial crises and
8:49
needs to be viewed that way
8:51
where are you going to put up
8:53
all these individuals who need shelter if you
8:55
to if you're running out of space
8:59
where'd you awake or consistently pivoting
9:02
a shifting or to make sure we can
9:04
accommodate we all pretty sad twenty three
9:06
emergency shelters are we had
9:09
a smooth transition of close to fifteen
9:11
hundred students and their move into
9:13
our educational of facilities
9:16
are we're going to continue to a
9:18
shift our resources to
9:20
whatever locations we have of
9:22
from the emergency hotels or
9:24
the emergency shelter locations are
9:26
we are used to adjust and we did it during
9:28
cove it we did do a nine eleven or
9:31
this is a city or that are clearly
9:33
understands how to stand up and
9:35
operate according to the crisis that are in front
9:37
of us aren't many of the migrants
9:40
flown to martha's vineyard by for to go
9:42
around the santas the santas they were falsely
9:44
told that jobs and housing would be
9:46
waiting for them
9:47
when they arrived for any of the migrants
9:50
that have arrived in new york have
9:52
they been similarly misled
9:56
yes they have been an is really
9:58
unfortunate when you watch the made
10:00
out miss represents a
10:03
would you sending people in some cases
10:05
we had those who are corbett positive
10:07
on the buses will individuals who would
10:09
the hydrated or did have proper
10:11
food have some were even
10:13
tag or like he would take an animal
10:15
is really unfortunate or that
10:17
a country that is known for the humanitarian
10:20
access of this is a blight on our
10:22
side countries but it again it
10:24
falls in line with some of these
10:26
inhumane and some of the a changes
10:29
that you're seeing someone a basic laws of women
10:31
right to choose and of to and gun
10:33
reform in his countries coming from
10:35
particular locations are like jersey
10:38
senses and are avid so
10:40
when one wants to travel to another location
10:43
and they have forced to go to new york city
10:45
of these are the things that we have witnessed
10:47
based on our preliminary interviews and
10:49
conversations with those microsd or
10:51
seek is in asylum seekers
10:54
every year ago you tweeted quote new york city
10:56
will remain a sanctuary city under and adnan
10:58
adams administration what does your message
11:00
to migrants arriving in the u s should they
11:03
still come to new york city
11:06
what a big that they should come to any
11:08
place in the country said they desire
11:11
or their pursuit of the american dream
11:13
of you know i say it all the time is the only currency
11:15
would dream is attached to it's name
11:18
of people want to come here pursue
11:20
their dreams like our ancestors are
11:22
dead have so many years ago all
11:24
of us are we all have come from
11:26
somewhere and we should keep
11:28
that in mind when we think about these new arrivals
11:31
a now but we should do it in a coordinated
11:34
a message we should make sure that
11:36
those who are here are not breaking
11:38
any laws and we should make sure that
11:40
we treat people with the humanitarian
11:42
are ways that we are you are you see treated
11:45
people in this country
11:46

12:19
gonna happen with just over seven weeks until election
12:22
day the republican party's trying to recalibrate it's
12:24
message so far they cannot seem
12:26
to agree on what exactly the message should be
12:28
joining us now the south dakota is
12:30
republican senator up my ground smart
12:33
centered around thanks so much for joining us
12:35
let me start with the immigration
12:37
now florida governor rhondda santas flew planes
12:40
of migrants from texas to martha's vineyard this
12:42
week without any warning to local officials
12:44
i guess at the immigration system as a mass
12:46
and as needed reform for decades by
12:49
these are people fleeing marxism
12:52
in venezuela many were a base
12:54
a falsely told there would be jobs
12:56
and housing waiting for them when they arrived in massachusetts
12:59
do you support or what abbott and
13:01
said santa and the santas are doing
13:05
they're doing their best to try to send a message
13:07
to the rest of the nation about the plight
13:09
of those individuals that are coming from south
13:12
of the border you're talking about
13:14
three point four million
13:16
people just since the start of this by
13:18
the administration has crossed
13:20
the border and are coming into southern states
13:23
what is what governor supposed to do they're
13:26
trying to send a message to the rest of the country that
13:28
this is not acceptable and other
13:30
states can't handle that type of an inflow but
13:32
let's see equivalent four times
13:34
the population of my stay or south dakota
13:37
jacobs more than that it's also
13:40
everything else is coming across the border at
13:42
the same time one hundred miles
13:44
away from the border here in south dakota penny
13:47
at the drug trafficking still affects our
13:49
state as well our native american population,
13:52
reservations have got huge
13:54
inflows of drug trafficking coming
13:56
in our state into some of the heaviest
13:59
poverty areas of
13:59
entire country so it is affecting
14:02
all of our states but the administration is not
14:04
doing anything about it so
14:06
that as i said this immigration crisis has been going
14:09
on literally for decades there hasn't been
14:11
a major immigration bill since
14:13
ronald reagan was president that
14:15
but as as i use
14:17
you did not know to and i
14:19
did earlier the show up at one
14:21
of the buses sent by a texas
14:24
gov greg abbott dropped off about fifty migrants
14:26
in front of the vice president's residence including
14:29
residence have i have month old baby
14:32
there isn't any heads up being given
14:34
to mayor adams who just heard from him
14:36
or in the individuals on martha's vineyard
14:39
martha's vineyard there trying to send a message
14:41
are trying to get the attention but there also
14:43
isn't there degree of patrolling
14:46
going on here i really
14:49
have no issue with using human
14:51
beings are one month old little kids
14:53
to, to make a political like this
14:57
you
14:57
have to put it in perspective of what's happening
14:59
at the southern border right now this is every
15:01
single day thousands
15:03
of individuals coming across with babies
15:06
they're coming into those states those governors
15:08
are facing that not just at the terms
15:11
of fifty of them they're talking about hundreds
15:13
of them if not thousands per day and
15:15
soul a i mean do any of us
15:18
like the situation that we're in and absolutely
15:20
not a matter of fact i would suspect
15:22
that the individuals in the southern states that
15:24
are trying to find a way to get the attention
15:26
of the administration would love to have other
15:29
alternatives to than six
15:31
hundred and six days since joe biden took
15:33
office and this problem
15:36
has done nothing except continue to develop
15:38
the for the national problem and yet
15:40
these governors on along the southern borders
15:42
are the ones that are faced with trying to us to
15:45
address it right and it's not just fifty
15:47
of these individuals coming across as
15:49
thousand and it's on a daily basis
15:51
right of course the immigration
15:53
laws in this country do allow people to come to
15:55
this country to seek asylum
15:58
or it seems to me that that
15:59
the larger solution that needs to happen
16:02
here and i don't know that you would disagree
16:04
the comprehensive immigration bill
16:06
that would include border security
16:09
ah and then perhaps in order
16:11
for there to be a compromise a pathway to citizenship
16:14
for people have been here for decades in
16:16
a more than twenty years i've been in
16:18
this town i've seen people like president george
16:20
w bush and sen lindsey graham and sen
16:22
marco rubio trying to get immigration
16:25
reform done working with democrats every
16:27
time they were defeated by house republicans
16:30
who wouldn't go along with any sort of compromise
16:32
would you support restarting bipartisan
16:35
negotiations to trying to try
16:37
to finally fix this broken immigration
16:39
says
16:42
those discussions are ongoing in the united
16:44
states senate and fact the last time
16:46
that there was a hard push was
16:49
in twenty seventeen myself and
16:51
sen angus king or cosponsor
16:53
the measure together on behalf of a bipartisan
16:55
group we have fifty four votes on
16:57
the senate at that time and that included
17:00
addressing the folks remember roger
17:02
to no fault of the wrong the dreamers we
17:04
address chain migration are we addressed
17:06
a pathway to citizenship over an extended
17:09
period of years we thought we had a pretty
17:11
good approach nothing has happened
17:13
during this administration us
17:15
would we liked to step forward again and and
17:17
try approach and approach again absolutely
17:19
do we have to address it he asked the
17:22
we have to have a border security
17:25
before anything else can happen we've got to be
17:27
able to defend that border we've gotta be able to make a border
17:30
that actually works otherwise why should
17:32
people pay any attention to the laws that we've got
17:34
and what good would it do to reform i'm if
17:36
we're not going to enforce them
17:37
what's your new abortion because this week your republican
17:40
colleagues center lindsey graham introduced a
17:42
bill that would ban abortion
17:44
nationwide after fifteen weeks do you
17:46
support the bill
17:50
no i think right now we should allow the
17:52
states to explore the different possibilities
17:54
about the appropriate way ah here
17:56
in south dakota with we have one which
17:58
is actually signed into law
18:01
when when i was governor or back
18:03
in two thousand and five two thousand and six i
18:05
think the individual states will come up with a multiple
18:08
or a whole lot of different ideas about
18:10
how to appropriately gus are
18:13
abortion in general and then i
18:15
think there will be a consensus over a period of years
18:18
of but at this point the have congress
18:20
that back canada tell all of the states that we
18:22
know better than them how to handle this is probably
18:24
not the right direction to go we actually
18:26
looked at far wouldn't be for the last
18:29
decision we actually looked as a group of us ads
18:31
are trying to ban any abortion past
18:33
twenty weeks we weren't successful at that
18:35
time i don't think any proposal
18:38
today would be successful in the house
18:40
and senate i think a better approach probably
18:43
will be to allow the states to work through
18:45
this and a fine the appropriate language
18:47
on a state by state basis and find
18:49
that common ground fab after that
18:52
maybe congress steps and again but at this
18:54

in ukraine
22:00
what might be consequential response

22:10
to that russia's military setbacks
22:14
the first jake thank you so much i'm
22:16
delighted to be here and the president
22:19
was very clear that he's not going to
22:21
find that for us us in
22:23
advance but we have also been
22:26
absolutely clear in our commitment
22:28
to ukraine
22:29
to giving them what they will need
22:31
to defend themselves and
22:33
we will do it over the long term
22:35
until russia makes
22:37
the important decision that they need
22:39
to make to withdraw their troops from
22:42
ukraine and stop this unprovoked
22:44
attack on their neighbor
22:46
is it so consequential though that the united
22:49
states citizens are he should have
22:51
an idea about what a response might
22:53
be since it might actually we don't
22:55
want things to escalate obviously so that the united
22:57
states and russia are engaged in a direct one on
22:59
one war
23:02
while the president has also been clear on the fact
23:04
that the you
23:05
will not put troops on the ground
23:07
in ukraine but we will give the ukrainians
23:10
what they need to defend themselves
23:12
we woke rally the world we will
23:15
rally europe
23:16
around supporting the ukrainian so that
23:18
they are able to push
23:20
that on russia's aggression
23:22
though in recent days ukrainian officials report
23:25
that they found at least four hundred forty unmarked
23:27
graves the newly recaptured city
23:29
of his yeah as well as more than ten
23:31
rooms apparently used by the russians
23:33
to torture people throughout the harkey region that
23:36
the united states leave war crimes were
23:38
committed in his him and will you
23:40
confront russia over these atrocities
23:43
when the security council meets on ukraine later this
23:45
week
23:47
we have confronted rusher from day
23:50
one from the first day
23:52
this attack with confronted them with
23:54
condemn them with isolated
23:57
them at the security council and that
23:59
will continue
23:59
again until they made the decision
24:02
pull their troops out
24:04
as for whether these are war crimes
24:06
or not we think war crimes being committed
24:09
a legal process has to take
24:11
place regarding that but the
24:13
reflect
24:14
there's of those grace sides will
24:16
always be
24:17
in our minds as we look
24:19
at what is happening in ukraine
24:21
right now and they should expect that
24:24
it will not be business as usual when they
24:26
arrive in new york on
24:28
morrow they will be isolated
24:30
they will be condemned in the security council
24:32
as well as more broadly in the general
24:34
assembly by all accounts ukraine's counter
24:37
offensive recently has been an astonishing success
24:39
leaving russian forces reeling and fleeing
24:42
greene says they still need longer
24:44
range missile systems fighter jets
24:46
modern tanks in order to capitalize
24:49
on this momentum so far the by the administration
24:51
has resisted those requests why not
24:53
meet the moment and take advantage
24:55
of this pivotal time where the russians are on the
24:57
run
25:00
we have been in regular consultations
25:02
with ukraine's about what's they
25:05
need to defend themselves are you
25:07
know we've given them over fifteen
25:09
billion dollars in support
25:12
they have succeeded in pushing the russians
25:14
back their commitment to defending
25:17
their country is just unparalleled
25:20
and we have been besides
25:22
them
25:22
the them support that they need but also
25:25
bringing others into ah
25:27
into this the circle of support
25:29
our allies and friends of of ukraine
25:32
you said united nations faces a crisis
25:34
of confidence
25:35
that the un security council need to reform
25:38
in order to remain a credible body and
25:40
the twenty first century how is any meaningful
25:42
reform possible if russia
25:45
is allowed to remain a permanent
25:47
member of the un security council while conducting
25:49
an illegal war openly committing
25:52
war crimes forcibly deporting hundreds
25:54
of thousands of ukrainians into russian
25:56
territory
25:59
this is
25:59
why we do need un reform
26:02
and i gave a speech in san francisco
26:05
or i have about a week ago where i
26:07
outline what this kind
26:09
of reform would look like we're committed
26:12
to finding a way forward to
26:14
make the un fit for purpose
26:17
for this century and currently
26:20
there is an attack on the un then
26:22
there's an attack on the tried earth and that's by
26:24
a permanent member of the security council
26:26
i can't change the fact that russia is
26:28
a permanent member of the security council but
26:31
i can continue the efforts that
26:33
we have
26:33
seated at and that's isolating
26:35
them condemning them and making
26:37
sure that they know and understand
26:40
it's not business as usual and that's not
26:42
just from us they're beginning to hear
26:45
that from their friends as well as i
26:47
understand president she's made
26:49
clear to proven in their meeting and you end
26:51
with pakistan this way
26:53
that's not my presidency because it's not
26:55
just russia china forbes
26:57
such influence over the united nations
26:59
that the united nations buildings
27:02
around the world don't even
27:04
allow
27:05
hors two individuals who have
27:07
taiwanese passports not
27:09
even acknowledged as human beings
27:12
they can't go on a private tour of the
27:14
us
27:15
how can the united nations be a force for self
27:18
determination and freedom if it
27:20
allows dictators and human rights abusers
27:22
in the building up but not the citizens
27:25
of a flourishing democracy such as taiwan
27:29
we believe that taiwan should
27:32
be given
27:33
the abilities
27:35
to do what
27:36
ever other non state
27:39
entity
27:39
can do in the united nations
27:41
and one of those has to be able to
27:44
come into our the un
27:46
visit the building to participate
27:49
in the activities that
27:51
not require them
27:53
the be a nation state and we
27:55
have pushed that effort and we're fighting
27:57
against these efforts that taken
27:59
the new york and the rest of the world to
28:02
support the people of you for the people
28:04
of taiwan or last the thank you so much
28:06
i'm an ambassador really appreciate your time today
28:10
thank you i'm coming
28:13
up a velociraptor and the napoleon
28:15
of mara lago fresh insights into
28:17
former president trump then and now susan glasses
28:19
here with a preview of her brand new book that
28:21
snacks
28:32
would you like to be subject to why they would be inappropriate
28:35
and numbers and i've i've looked i could be cured
28:37
and say well i don't want to left ,
28:39
be totally of roberts has a like was
28:42
is a fine person i like my
28:44
as a mice committed political
28:46
suicide suicide not
28:48
taking votes as he knew were
28:52
wrong a
28:55
whole lot of nonsense and they're stuck leopard
28:57
welcome back to civil union that was president trump
28:59
in an interview
29:00
them are lago saying why he wouldn't
29:02
or couldn't pick my pants as a running mate wordy
29:04
to run for president again that interview was
29:07
report with reporter susan glasser and peter
29:09
baker authors of the brand new book that
29:11
divider trump in the white house
29:13
two thousand seventeen two thousand and twenty one susan
29:15
glasser and our panel join
29:18
, now so that that's a pretty shocking
29:20
exchange because for saw pants is
29:23
not in charge of taking votes ah
29:25
and pence did not do anything wrong
29:28
he did what the constitution said he should
29:30
do what was it like being
29:32
it like lago with proper were you surprised
29:34
by his answer at all
29:35
well your point about the word salad
29:37
i you know we spent three hours over
29:40
the more than three hours over the course of two
29:42
interviews at mara lago trying
29:44
to interview the former president
29:46
and i don't think there was a single sentence you
29:48
know with a now and and urban a period
29:51
attached to it you know in there were
29:53
a lot of rants about the rigged election by
29:56
the bottom line with that you know trump is
29:58
still very focused
29:59
then after leaving office on the finding
30:02
everything around personal loyalty we were
30:04
in the famous ah now famous
30:06
room where the f b i searched her took place
30:09
private office and he just surrounded himself
30:11
with reminder think you know of his past
30:14
glory he was like napoleon an
30:16
elbow but needs you know banquet hall
30:18
greater than also you you work for trump
30:21
is this the same problem for you
30:23
work for has gotten worse like
30:25
what do you think what's your take
30:27
if kind of all the same on but at
30:29
least when he was still surrounded by the trappings of power
30:31
there's a certain cachet that comes with as i think
30:33
he's and then we will thing is having a very hard
30:36
time obviously accepting his last
30:38
i saw go back and forth that can make a shared
30:40
his he told me after he lost that he knew he
30:42
lost the now he's gonna different directions but
30:44
the mike pence com at that was very interesting
30:47
as there was no one a more
30:49
loyal to donald trump the entirety of his presidency
30:52
but also i would argue beneficial
30:54
to when he was the man it was mitch mcconnell
30:56
and mike pence they thought tax cuts through
30:58
last minute the tax cuts and jobs act
31:01
with hanging by a slide susan collins
31:03
was almost gonna be a know i just like was
31:05
almost can be a know and it was them twisting arms
31:07
until late at night you smc every
31:09
major achievement that donald trump still
31:12
tout mike pence had a huge
31:14
role in and frankly many of them donaldson didn't
31:16
in fact the number capacity
31:18
to recognize that but i thought that was that was
31:20
made
31:20
what is interesting to me about gonna let me read
31:23
this passage from the book the jumped out at me quote
31:26
the painful fact is that those who stopped
31:28
trump from committing this or that outrage also
31:30
helped him learn how better to
31:32
get what he wanted the next senior
31:35
national security official who regularly observe
31:37
trump in the oval office compared him to
31:39
the velociraptors in the movie jurassic
31:41
park that proved capable of learning
31:43
while hunting they're praying making
31:46
them infinitely more dangerous
31:48
it's i should note not the first time i've heard a trumpet
31:51
comparing donald trump to a velociraptor learning
31:54
how to commit mayhem
31:56
the next time determine up for this for this real
31:58
threat to the country and
31:59
the democracy and yeah of course it as i mean
32:02
i i check or because thinking of trump as a velociraptor
32:04
is funny on the surface but when you dig deeper
32:06
it is deeply problematic that
32:09
the former present united states still
32:11
insist that he won the election is punishing
32:13
everyone who did their jobs by
32:15
certified me election is talking
32:17
about running again and twenty twenty four when
32:19
we reading the house that as a somebody who's
32:21
undermining our democracy so yeah
32:24
it's it's terrifying that she could
32:26
possibly be getting on oh no i want
32:28
to use more smarter but i'm
32:30
more strategic about how he wields
32:32
his
32:33
the evil
32:35
well i think he's the most likely person to be the republican
32:37
nominee and the least likely person
32:39
to defeat joe biden or whatever other democrats
32:42
in that getting nominated and twenty twenty four when i
32:44
think republicans ought to think
32:46
hard about whether we want to lose another
32:48
national election
32:50
by related gating twenty twenty
32:52
and
32:53
no by bi re plunging ourselves back
32:55
into this chaos i think they're other people who
32:57
give you what you want
32:59
without giving us the probability
33:01
of another national last so
33:03
i'm to of those potential twenty twenty four
33:05
hour nominees are candidates are
33:08
are the governor of texas greg abbott
33:10
and the governor of florida rhonda santa some
33:12
the bill might run for president
33:14
are both of them responsible for
33:17
various shipping of my
33:19
of migrants from texas two
33:21
planes carrying fifty migrants center martha's vineyard
33:24
wednesday night by the santas they since been
33:26
moved to joint base cape cod i want you to take
33:28
a listen to what a local reverend
33:30
and martha's vineyard hold me and and about
33:32
these migrants being transported there
33:34
we decided almost
33:36
immediately that we would take the mean no matter what
33:38
they had nowhere to go
33:40
and and the whole island community of martha's
33:43
vineyard really pretty much turned out at
33:45
whatever political strike they were to
33:48
help these people who'd been so traumatized
33:50
that's where i'm most all of us in america right
33:53
now should be paying our attention
33:56
it i think one of the the
33:58
points that the santas an avid we're trying to make
34:00
with the study even if you don't like it was oh
34:03
look these people are going to like all this influx of
34:05
migrants coming into martha's vineyard they're
34:07
not and martha's vineyard anymore because the governor charlie
34:09
baker's movement the cape cod but i don't
34:11
know that they got the response that won it in terms
34:14
of the ball revolt in a being revoked
34:16
revolted
34:17
that know that right obviously you saw lots of pictures
34:19
of islanders coming out and are volunteering
34:22
and you know trying to help but you know people who had
34:24
been used as as pawns in a sort
34:26
of grotesque to fix a very trump
34:28
in political stunt right to maintain
34:30
i feel like what we're seeing is
34:33
the influence in the takeover of
34:35
trump is i'm in the republican party
34:37
in a d the carnival barker turned
34:40
bad in a rhonda santas
34:42
ah ito was
34:44
a serious politician and
34:46
and now he's using people as pawns
34:49
in this way and in this think that the a whether
34:51
it's donald trump is the nominee and twenty
34:53
twenty four or another republican
34:56
they're very likely to be operating in a world
34:58
where donald trump has showed them donald path
35:01
of ah demeaning human beings
35:03
have it using the immigration
35:05
issue particular issue immigration think these republican governor
35:08
see that as part of the armor
35:11
that donald trump creative for himself and politics
35:14
along with a on the island
35:16
twenty four hours before the military came
35:18
and rounded them up and took him away look i'm
35:20
glad the people of martha's vineyard work charitable
35:22
in their day with the migrants i do think it was your
35:24
thing they took a hundred twenty five national guardsmen to
35:26
take your fifty people
35:28
do the math on texas new the map
35:30
on arizona the point here wasn't to try to trick
35:32
the people of martha's vineyard
35:34
the point here was to make a larger point
35:36
about burden sharing
35:38
the crisis at the border
35:39
the burden being fully borne by
35:42
texas arizona and then area
35:44
those towns banner that was the point
35:47
and i'm not typically a fan of government by
35:49
trolling but you know i feel trolled every
35:51
day when i see the white house press secretary
35:53
and this vice president and the president's tell
35:56
the american people all the borders secures
35:58
there is no problem that's the point
36:00
and they made it and we're talking about
36:03
mission accomplished on it you know what you can
36:05
make a point about border security
36:07
we can have a conversation about comprehensive
36:09
immigration reform and adding more money
36:12
to to sets a sport border states using
36:15
people as political policies
36:17
are people who are fleeing communism i thought
36:19
the republican party was one that was against communism
36:22
to ship them to a place that
36:24
doesn't have the facilities to take care of them
36:27
is hop you you say blithely overly for
36:29
advice martha's vineyard they don't have the capacity
36:31
to do that so the republican governor of massachusetts
36:34
did the right thing and system someplace where they actually
36:37
had solicited terrorism this
36:39
is like the is the culmination
36:41
of mega extremism taking over this
36:43
parties and i get emotional want to talk
36:45
about books i remember when we're
36:47
children
36:48
babies
36:49
the parents at the border with no care
36:51
about reigniting them and this is just what that
36:53
is to and let's not forget these migrants worth
36:56
lie to they were misled they thought
36:58
they were going someplace else and they were
37:00
when appointments across the country
37:02
day well it'll do setting them
37:04
up for failure and here's the thing we
37:06
have a crisis at the border humanitarian
37:09
national security full stop by for as a comma
37:11
harris said on another network last week the border
37:13
secure it's not el paso right now has over
37:15
a thousand migrants were living in squalid
37:18
conditions border states have borne
37:20
the brunt of this challenge that is not
37:22
being address of thing exacerbated by the by
37:24
the administration's policies that said
37:26
i disagree with this stuff on on almost
37:28
every level we know that the by
37:30
demonstration is relocating people within
37:32
the country on migrants within the country to
37:35
take some of the strain authors the
37:37
border safe but we cannot use
37:39
human beings as pawns if this was a serious
37:42
effort by gov the fantasy would have called gov
37:44
charlie baker and said i need all
37:46
resources available we need to house these people
37:48
with it has set up of you know places where they can
37:50
process for asylum claims they can meet with your
37:53
this was meant purely for twitter
37:55
into drive the conversation in immigration
37:57
for decades has been the third rail of american
37:59
politics
37:59
we're having the same carthage the decade of on
38:02
capitol hill
38:03
the west don't want to solve it the right doesn't want to solve
38:05
that we just want to fight with each other on it and you
38:07
know we're talking about it maybe that's a good
38:09
thing but i don't think that shipping people
38:12
what i would just disagree with that
38:14
notion that the bluff doesn't want to solve it we had
38:16
a comprehensive immigration bill on the
38:18
table bipartisan support would
38:20
have passed the house it was john beta
38:23
the republican it wanted to keep it as a political
38:25
tool we could have had emigrated from with
38:27
increased security at the because there has to be some
38:29
acknowledgement that the language the left
38:32
in the language of the president the vice president and
38:34
the democratic party part of the problem
38:37
the migrants are coming here because they believe the
38:39
border is open so until
38:41
this administration stops using
38:43
that language that caused them to believe that and
38:46
causes this influx and get serious about
38:48
supporting the border patrol and border security
38:50
it's going to continue to be a crisis
38:53
level
38:53
the i do think that the politicization
38:56
a permanent use of this is a political to
38:58
i remember a conversation with a senior bush
39:01
administration official who told me the
39:03
greatest mistakes of george w
39:05
bush his second term was not coming out
39:07
of that victory and making an immigration
39:09
deal because he was a republican and there were republicans
39:12
and democrats he wanted to get the sun
39:13
it out he did try to dry
39:16
up we'll talk more about this and future shows i'm
39:18

whether like the practice get someone
40:40
soul editorial cartoonist
40:42
the brodner has been trying to do just
40:44
that every day for years the pandemic
40:46
compelled the artist to draw hundreds
40:49
and hundreds of images of america as
40:51
kobe pain and suffering
40:53
and of the politicians who
40:55
push democracy the brain
40:57
see so many americans
41:00
when the pandemic started the world's shut
41:02
down but that's when illustrator
41:04
and editorial caricature steve brodner
41:07
picked up his pen for every day you'd see
41:09
in the paper all of these names
41:11
and these faces so i salute let me to awesome
41:14
and how did you decide because i was literally thousands
41:16
of people dying every day had any know side which
41:18
story to tell at first it was just
41:21
whatever was giving me the strongest of
41:23
kind of emotional reactions brodner
41:26
was moved by the stories of cove it's
41:28
first victims and the harrowing images
41:30
he could not get out of his head such
41:32
as a young doctor in alabama
41:34
he's treating young people yeah and
41:37
they're coming into her hospital and
41:39
there and on vaccinate that he says when
41:41
lessons they do before their intubated
41:44
which is often my the last things that they would
41:46
do to somebody before they died he
41:48
is beg me for the vaccine hold
41:51
her hand and tell them that i'm sorry but it's too late
41:53
she had to do this and many many times
41:56
every day brodner pick a person
41:58
or an image and drew
42:00
for hundreds of days and he still drawing
42:02
his work has now been published altogether and a new
42:04
book
42:05
living and dying in america
42:08
here's one on page three
42:10
it's a president trump yelling at
42:12
a bunch of graves how can you do this to
42:14
me that's that's may be my favorite cartoon
42:17
as a cartoon on the whole book because
42:19
it's all about his victimhood
42:22
nobody's a bigger victim then he is
42:24
you doubly don't like him but you doesn't like drawing
42:27
him as enjoyable for you to hook
42:29
, up is a lot of great feature is is he is it's
42:31
enjoyable and a way in which
42:34
you feel that you have to address
42:36
something that's gone wrong
42:38
with the world you know he was
42:40
present at his face he was to take
42:42
care of people who supposed
42:44
to look after his people and
42:47
he looked after one person
42:49
that's where our troubles began
42:52
roger also drew the black lives matter
42:55
movement ignited by the violent deaths
42:57
of george floyd brianna taylor and so
42:59
many more and his work took on
43:01
an even darker feel politically
43:03
after the attack on the us capitol on january
43:06
six somebody , interviewed
43:08

43:17
a thing that happens if it's if it's it's well
43:21

43:23
getting into in
43:26
i just try to capture the characters be
43:28
trying to capture the feeling the person
43:30
has what is the person
43:33
going through how does
43:35
he contours of the face give
43:37
you a t into what's
43:40
going on in the internal life of
43:42
the of the person you know it's
43:45
hard not to read
43:47
this book and labels have to and
43:49
to have lived through it all continue
43:51
to feel home for some
43:53
reason to express
43:56
outrage about what's happening
