didn t have an understanding of what he was asking. a lot of this took place over the last couple of weeks. that s not enough time to pull this off. i engine it rains, he will offer that as an excuse for why nobody showed up. there lots and lots of people who are specifically not going to send a message that this is the wrong thing to do. dwight eisenhower was clear that this is america s holiday. it s not supposed to be for any individual. now it s become donald trump s high end barmitzvah. he seized control over something that belongs to all of us. it s not about him. he acts like he s living in a banana republic. he is backed up by banana republicans and it s another example of how he is wrenching our system away from its origins.
but when you look at things like immigration policy, it s incredibly important and tangible and actual things are happening in terms of this administration putting things forward in terms of policy. so, you know, if you are running for office, these are the kinds of things you might highlight, right? not to say that this isn t a constant state of chaos, but that this is an administration that s doing stuff and doing stuff like this. and real quickly, there are a group of republicans, moderate republicans, who are fighting back, who are angry, and who are fighting back and may side with the democrats to get something done. that is very true. i said rosie o donnell earlier, i meant roseanne barr. donald trump called rosie o donnell a fat pig, let s not forget that. my apologies no rosie o donnell for looping her into this conversation inadvertently. guys, thank you very much.
a. it is in a deep high better nation. ticking their head in the stand and saying we just need to survive. they don t care how far it goes. frankly they are taking a page out of donald trump s playbook as long as they are not suffering major consequences it s okay to continue. is it right. do you hear people like myself and david and others screaming as loud as we can? it doesn t seem to matter because that s the way things are going. to the earlier pony about when is there a constitutional crisis, how do you ganl it? i don t think we are anywhere near there. i think we are at a different crisis, and that is a conscientious crisis. what our leaders are allowing to be deemed as normal is a disgrace. david, what do you think about that. what if the republicans are napping what is going to be the thing that shakes hem awake? i like that phrase
obama administration, which is what the what-aboutism types are always saying, that was a different situation. that was not dealing with these asylum seekers and short circuiting the due process that they re entitled to under the law. is this what republicans stand for? some republicans apparently, but not all republicans. and i think what would be really interesting is if there weren t other things kind of covering up this story, if you will, now. whether it s north korea or rosean roseanne, whoever. this was a story with a visual that really just could have worked to have hit donald trump in a different kind of way. this is a story that really started off with legs and i thought was going to have a really big impact. it still has legs. we re going to still report on this. i have no doubt that you ll still report on it, i just don t know in the scheme of things how much oxygen it will get within the public. which is really interesting, because we talk a lot, or people percei
they ever truly had that value in the first place. right now the values are being tested. here s where the republicans haven t gone silent. suddenly a lot of them woke up from boehner s word their nap when it comes the tariffs and trade. kevin brady, these tariffs are hitting the wrong target. sass, this is dumb. alexander, tennessee senator, these tariff will raise prices and destroy manufacturing jobs. paul ryan, i disagree with this decision. senator mike lee i m sorry, this is pat toomey, he issing go to be cosponsoring mike lee s bill to reign in the executive brachl s power to impose unilateral tariffs like these. why is this what woke them up? it is the traditional disagreement the president and the republicans have had dating back to the campaign. this is the agreement? it is simpler.
