talk on the boarder, he s never spoken to one of his front line officials apparently or perhaps he s doing what he did with paul manafort barely knew him. michael cohen wasn t really important or george papadopoulos the coffee boy and perhaps it s not so bad the president might be acquainted with an official carrying out the policy and seems confused about the policies that began this cycle of kids in custody. zero tolerance enforcement that separated families at the border. the policy has been abandoned. he still maintains falsely the last administration was responsible for it and that he, president trump actually ended it and now in a new twist, this is what is driving the latest influx of families. you know, under president obama you had separation, i was the one that ended it. i said one thing, when i ended it, i said this is what will happen. more families will come up and that s what happened. again, keeping them honest. the zero tolerance policy that produced family s separa
but it s so overwhelming now that this is happening. i ve heard you say in the past that the trump administration is just kind of blanket rolling back regulations without even kind of looking at, why is this regulation in place, is it still something that is important? anything that had anything to do with president obama, good, every administration comes in and tries to put their own stamp on everything. but without looking at this, it s good to review regulations. you should do it from time to time because science evolves, we find new technologies, we can do things in a different way, or we may find this issue has already been dealt with. it s interesting that they re framing it as many people increasingly have done as a liberal or conservative argument. when you look at the history of environmentalism in this country, teddy roosevelt

would have heads in there of i.c.e. and department of homeland security and head of customs and border protection. we got to solve these problems. what resources do you need? we re moving them over. take care of these things. under line administration s approach has been the argument that if people suffer as immigrants, it will discourage them from immigrating. that was the base of child separation. mistreat or inflict trama on children and it will discourage immigration. so when you start from that perspective, there isn t this sense we would expect of our government in which they are doing everything possible to address these problems. they are not doing everything possible and the result is the horrific conditions we re seeing now. many of these conditions would be neglect and prosecutable in any other setting. senator, appreciate your time. thank you very much. thank you. just ahead in the wake of the most recent assault allegation against president
