brothers. won their friendship, won their trust and, therefore, able to influence them and get them to do things in the interest of the united states. can you imagine donald trump doing anything like that? he repulses the entire world. he does not understand the meaning of the word empathy. he insults people. he does not treat them with dignity and respect in the way edward landsdale did. i d respectfully submit if we re going to achieve our goals around the world in the future, we need more edward landsdales and fewer donald trumps. i promise to read this soon. max boot is a military historian, senior fellow in national security studies at the council on foreign relations. after the break, my closing thoughts on the president s racist, vulgar language toward african nations. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends, three jobs. you re like nothing can replace brad. then liberty mutual calls. and you break into your happy dance.
went to west point. graduated and is living the american dream. we ll put up the picture. katy tur showed it in the last hour. putting that up. graduate of west point and the photographer caught him with tears streaming down his face as he graduated in west point. coming to america to to enroll to fight for this country, if he is needed to do so. and that s really who we are. a land where any person from any country of any color can come to this particular country and live the american dream. and what we have heard the president say over the last 24 hours is not representative of who we are. every day i think he cannot top himself and yet here we find ourselves here today. it s unbelievable. the issue we all face. you face it in congress. we in the media. when things like this come and happen and pass, we get accused of normalizing it. at this point, this is maybe
agents are like gestapo, but ali ali, it is very painful to have to say these things, but the things that are happening, people are being asked for their citizenship when they re getting on buses in upstate new york. agents are getting on trains and going through the train and spotting people and saying what your citizenship? so it is very it s a horrible thing to say. but, you know, horrible things being said right now is part of the united states 2018 post-trump, and united states 2018, we ve seen a great deal of immigration action, just this week. we ve seen arrests. we ve seen the people going to 7-elev 7-elevens, finding people undocumented, rounding them up. we re in that place. so when the president says things like, take them out or the words he says, that s very, very real. not just to the d.r.e.a.m.ers, it s much broader than that. so i m going to rebate something that the mayor of los angeles said to me on the

it will hurt you. it is long. i haven t gotten to this yet, but i m going to get to the book shortly, amazon says it reads like a novel. i hope you like it. no doubt. one of the most important i ve got and i ll take advantage of having you here. you tweeted earlier today about the meeting in which the president said these things. the room was full of republicans. why didn t they speak up during the meeting and why aren t they speaking out now? silence equals consent. we ve heard from dick durbin, lindsey graham spoke up and confirmed he has spoken up. we have two senators who say they didn t remember him saying this. that s not possible. it s not possible the president of the united states talking about immigration policy could have used the word shit hole and two american senators right. unless he says it so often. that you wouldn t know. this is a little weird. i m with bernice king on this one. the president said outrageous thing as long time. a long history saying racist an
