dhs secretary ken cuccinelli. ken, welcome. this situation tells me two things, one, russians want to leave russia and two, they know our southern border is open, right? those are two things and a third when you see the asylum claims coming out of this population is there is downright fear among russians much their own government. this isn t random. now they can be gaming our asylum system. other people do that all the time. nonetheless, i would add that third one in there, rachel. and i do think, that setting immigration aside for the moment, there is some benefit to us on the political world, world political stage of granting some of these asylum cases so we can tell their story to undermine putin in the eyes of the world. so, again, that aside from the immigration aspect of this, but
the simple answer to that is that we have to end the filibuster and pass the john lewis voting rights act and just make it law. we can stop counting on people s good graces. we can stop counting on people having an epiphany an starting to do the right thing when they don t do the right thing over and over again and just actually make it law and protect people s right to vote that way. that s the simple answer. yeah, this isn t random. we wrote in our op-ed it is intentional, it is insidious. it is a reason why people like michael flynn get up in front of a convention of conspiracy theorists in texas, talks about a coup and then tried to walk it back afterwards. sorry, the damage is already done. he did what he intended to do. we re beyond dog whistles here. they re just outright trying to undermine the elections. but at the same time you also have a violent movement that is spreading too. and the thing that s frightening, michael flynn, obviously a former general who was drummed out
tucker: why would there be counterterrorism efforts aimed at muslims? come on, tucker. you know why that is. tucker: i am a man who asks questions that i am asking a question about the statement you made. there are acts of terror committed in the name of a la that do not reflect the muslim community. however, tucker: they may or they may not, but he ll concede, this isn t random. it s not that the u.s. government or police departments are looking for some religious group to persecute or is that what you are saying? i am saying that. tucker: why don t they do it to the amish? why don t they do it to the amish? hasidic jewish people? they speak a different anguish, not assimilated. i don t see a lot of terror attacks committed by them, do you? it is not profitable to be speaking against these other groups. it is very profitable to be speaking against muslims because it is feeding into this wartime effort.

like he didn t believe me, still. so chris, to you now, you re his attorney. he was coming from jamaica? montego bay. that s not one of the countries. can you claim it s part of the travel ban? when they re asking two separate travelers where did you get your name from? he s an american citizen, born in philadelphia. they both had valid passports. they re not being questioned together, they re being questioned by separate officers. you have two separate officers working the same flight, and asking those same kind of questions, that s part of a pattern, part of a program, no question about it, that isn t random, that s deliberate. and now we re getting all these e-mails, i got 50 e-mails the other day from muslim organizations and individuals. first they re asking, do i admit i m a muslim or should i deny it when i come into the country?
