policy proposals within the government. you look at the muslim travel ban for example. that was something where they threw it at the wall and saw what stick. it was something he pioneered and tried to work on. how has he developed this shaping policy not having a legal background? i m struck by the moment that he has become a survivor in the trump administration. in another administration he would be one of half a dozen, a dozen aides and he would be trying to push his agenda against other folks. as tim was mentioning, the president doesn t seem to have heartfelt beliefs on this issue, although he understands it as core to his political identity and what got him elected. but every time he gets into an escalated mode, even miller seems nervous that the president might stray from this agenda. what he s managed to do is engineer a situation where he can surround the president with people that are of the restrictionist mind-set at those
on brexit but not much eelse. johnson was against the united states pulling out of the iran deal. he is in favor of a two-state solution in the middle east. he was aghast when donald trump announced a muslim travel ban. this is not a man who is aligned with donald trump on all foreign policy issues. so if trump thinks it s going to be an easy go with boris johnson on these kinds of things, i think he s got something coming. i want to ask you a separate question. the president was sitting in the oval office yesterday with the prime minister of pakistan. he said he was willing to mediate kashmir, a long-running dispute between india and pakistan and he said the indian prime minister, mr. modi, asked him to do that. the indian government came back with a slap back and said, no, we did not. what s that about? it s been long-standing policy between those two countries that they want it resolved bilaterally. and it s been american policy for a long time to help them solve it but not to m
african-american. that was not a habit, that happens to be the whole deal. campaign rhetoric, if you need this one explained, you have been living on another planet for the last year-and-a-half, three years. remember, this was in charge of the trump organization suit curiel was his last name. he says he can t be fair because he s hispanic. he was born in indiana. regardless. pocahontas talking about elizabeth warren repeatedly does it because she has issues of her native american heritage. the muslim travel ban. his administration says it s not a muslim travel ban. president trump says it is. charlottes victim, donald trump saying both sides were involved in this bad people on both sides. well, it was a white supremacist rally. protesting the tweets about puerto rico. they should be glad for what we give them. they re barely in the united states. donald trump talking about
not sending you. they re sending people that have lots of problems and they re bringing those problems with us. they re bringing drugs, they re bringing crime. they re rapists. remember judge curiel who decided against then candidate trump in the trump university case. a mexican judge, trump called him. actually he s an american judge born in indiana. two years ago amid violence in charlottesville, virginia, the president not only refused to denounce white supremacists and their hate speech, he called them good people. excuse me, excuse me. they didn t you had some very bad people in that group. but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. and then there was the muslim travel ban. the president banning people from, quote, shithole countries, his words. ahead i ll be speaking with former republican governor john
administration introducing a rule that changes where and how people coming into mexico specifically can claim asylum. typically do you that in the country you re coming to, the trump administration unilaterally without congress setting a rule saying they must do that in mexico and tied to a whole host of other comments by the president, for instance, disparaging comments about muslims, then you have the muslim travel ban which eventually got through to become law. that s what s key, not just the words, is it not? it s words and an approach tied to policies. it s words plus actions and words plus the threat of actions coming from the leader of the free world who has the power to do not everything but a lot of things that can complicate many people s lives and we re not just talking about people that aren t americans but people that are mart of american families. this is why it s become such a close emotional issue for so many people. at this point the president seems to be taking the
