1,000 children have been separated from 450,000 family units that have come into the country since october. so, 450,000 family groups since october, fewer than 1,000 separated. but it does not include the children who came with relatives, who are separated under longstanding policy to safeguard against human trafficking. pete: yeah. speaking of dehumanization. who has been dehumanized? it s been the ice agents and border patrol agents whose motives are being impugned every single day. 4,000 people rescueside a fact. we know that s what they done 00 border to save kids, to save women. to say save men who make this dangerous journey. it s all disingenuous. very rich for congress to be preaching to these guys after congress total inability to get anything done. ainsley: you can t complain about an election and didn t go to the polls and vote. in this situation they are complaining about something, these ice directors or these homeland security directors
larger direct message with the white house very happy with the speech in warsaw today. yeah. 100% this gets in the way of what the white house is trying to do. what i heard today was the president trying to have it both ways. to say, hey, listen, nato, we stand with you guys against any international aggression in western europe, but i m giving russia the benefit of the doubt here that they tried to do an extraordinary thing in the u.s. election. this comes after weeks of hearings from former cia, fbi, homeland security directors saying it is not a guess that russia interfered in the election, it is fact. it is fact. and president trump is over there kind of defying what everyone back here in washington wants him to do, which is to acknowledge this and put the hammer down on russia. i imagine the european leaders he s going to meet with next want the exact same thing. and he s kind of trying to have it both ways on that front. you know, amber brings up a
