this is a palestinian student who basically says that he was questioned for hours at the boston airport last week, a border agent searching his phone and laptop, and the student now has told harvard s newspaper which has given some life to the story, which after five hours they were called into a room and there was screaming. she said she found people posting political points of views that oppose the u.s. on this incoming student s friends list, and there was basically an officer s effort to cancel, initially, the student s visa. this is one of those stories that goes to the way we live immigration now. what jumps out to you about it? so much jumps out. first of all, this is a conscious trump policy since june to say that you have to, if you re applying for a visa anywhere in the world, you ve got to submit your entire social media profile. and what the border agents did here is, well, this student, he didn t do anything wrong or say anything wrong, but he had some friends on faceboo
and control who shouldn t be with xfinity xfi. simple. easy. awesome. the trump administration is billing you, the taxpayer, for vice president mike pence s stay at a trump property in ireland, all thanks to a heavy-handed suggestion from president trump. his chance to take dollars from the u.s. treasury and put them in trump s pockets looks especially desperate tonight, because the golf club in question is a whopping 180 miles away from pence s government meetings, which is a bit like getting a hotel in boston to go
is an illegal trump campaign contribution, in my view. but they chose to kill the story, days before the election. that s going to come out in these hearings, and the american people should know that. fox viewers should know that. it s really important right now for the truth to finally be told. trump has lied about this so many times, and so frequently, that we can t just say, oh, well, he lies about everything, why should we talk about this, we should talk about it all. every aspect of it needs to be brought to the american public. nancy, i will say in all seriousness, in fairness to fox news, they have a lot of opinion that may look like endorsing trump, but they have every right under the first amendment to go forward and share that. i don t think that legally is a campaign contribution. i think you re speaking, though, to the narrower point of whether there were deals made that were explicitly benefitting the campaign, which is different. to give you a chance to follow up on tha
reality. he has made a reputation for himself and has been enabled by just saying whatever comes to the top of his head. no regard for the irresponsibility of his statements. to mention a state being in the path of a hurricane, when, in fact, that state is not, you re absolutely right, would cause a great deal of panic. but he s not presidenting. he s not a real president. and one doesn t even have to be a president to decide not to be irresponsible. the national weather service, of course, came out and corrected what was said. but, you know, i think you and i talked about this the last time we were here in this studio together. sometimes the mainstream media will amplify what his opponents may do. there s a lot of implication of joe biden s gaffes, but what about trump s? and this is one that was very dangerous and could have really impacted people s lives. yeah, and that comes against
a backdrop where it all sort of the washington post has this reporting again about how donald trump views these situations. the mrntrump administration try to divert disaster relief funds to border enforcement, which of course has prompted an outcry. and then you look at the new york times reporting on donald trump seeing this as kind of a time to be loud, but not be accurate. mr. trump awaited landfall by assuming the role of meteorologist in chief, adding weatherman style updates to a usual weekend routine of critiquing the performance of his cable news allies. i suppose the risk is that it all becomes mixed up in one soup and tuned out, rather than people who live in alabama, and this would matter regardless, but happens to be a state that went heavily for trump, people going, wow, i really wish he didn t set off a false alarm here. that s not helpful. well, i would hope the people of alabama and particularly the voters of alabama would take
