From President Trump restricting immigration from seven mainly muslim countries. They say the move is unconstitutional, un american and unlawful. The Attorneys General said in a joint statement they were confident the order would be struck down by the courts. One federal judge has temporarily halted meanwhile, theres been more anger and consternation Around The World. The german chancellor Angela Merkel who has said the fight against terrorism does notjustify putting people from specific backgrounds or faiths under general suspicion. The mayor of london sadiq khan, has called the ban on refugees and immigrants from certain countries shameful and cruel. Its not all critical though. The right wing populist dutch politician Geert Wilders tweeted no more immigration from any islamic country is exactly what we need. At home, the administration has has downplayed a court ruling which temporarily rules out deporting people who have already arrived, saying it only applies to a small number of
dc macron doesn t win this? let s be clear about la penn, she s anti refugee sentiment but someone who is a nationalist who is financed by vladimir putin. these are not causal ties that she has and so i think in the le pen victory, to have a united front on sanctions. sanctions only work if you have the buy in of countries, especially big ones like france and keep in mind, france is one of the biggest shot callers in the european union. it doesn t just complicate relations with france but could complicate relations with the european union that runs on
macron far tighter than we saw in 2017 went macron166% of the vote. of course, having macron166% of the vote. of course, having le macron166% of the vote. of course, having le pen in the final round is nothing having le pen in the final round is nothing new, we have been here before, nothing new, we have been here before, and her father obviously has also made before, and her father obviously has also made the final round before, but a also made the final round before, but a le also made the final round before, but a le pen victory would send shoch but a le pen victory would send shock waves through europe. i think principally shock waves through europe. i think principally because after the war in ukraine principally because after the war in ukraine. until russia invaded ukraine, ukraine. until russia invaded ukraine, marine le pen had plans to feature ukraine, marine le pen had plans to feature photographs of her shaking hands feature photographs of her shak
i would say macron, quite frankly. steve: the centrist. look just from a financial point of view for a start. if le pen were to win, the euro is destroyed. the euro goes straight down. the u.s. dollar goes straight up. and our stock market comes straight down. financial chaos if le pen were to win. from a strictly financial standpoint, american investors want macron to win. now, he is favored to win by about 20 points at the moment. these polls and these opinions that advance, they have been wrong before. so you can t guarantee that macron wins, but investors there that he will. brian: a couple of things, number one after brexit imimmediately the stock market tanked and came back. britain feels like this has been a great thing for them. could le pen victory be an immediate could be a dip and a come back right afterwards? it could be. that would assume that the same thing happens in france has happened in britain and in america after trump won and the brexit vote won.
it s almost as if you have gary hart or bill bradley against donald trump. i mean, you have in essence this modern coalition that is fiscally conservative, socially liberal, pro globalization and as jim said fundamentally urban based against a kind of more blue collar older nonurban le pen coalition with the one difference between the u.s. and france is that le pen has been much stronger with millennial voters than either donald trump was or that the brexit was. but basically you are seeing the same divide politically across the western world which is the kind of urbanized diverse post industrial pro global coalition against a set of voters who feel left out if not actively disrespected by all of that. this is an enormously consequential election because a le pen victory that let france out of the eu unlike britain many believe would be the end of the european union itself. this really matters and is a starker choice than we produced
