people could be coming over from spain, right? no one said any of that. and to pretend that there s not some innuendo, some xenophobic innuendo that they found prayer rugs, who cares? but the woman it s geography. it would be surprising to find a lot of muslims coming from mexico. that would be very surprising. are you concerned about muslims coming over from the northern border? i m concerned about people who don t belong here coming from norway or bangladesh or mexico. so why aren t you pushing for a northern wall because an administration official has told cnn that more non-u.s. citizens, steve, on terror watch lists were encountered on the northern border than the southern border, and they tried to enter the country through legal ports of entry. no one is saying, oh, my gosh, there s a crisis at the northern border. all of these people are coming over. why not?
all right. thank you very much. we ll update you as we get more. we have that very important rebuttal from the special couns counsel s office this hour. next, the president accused of tweeting a racist story about prayer rugs at the border. we ll tell you what that means. why was mike pompeo s office traveling with him on an official trip to the middle east with extra staff in the middle of a government shutdown? coaching means making tough choices. jim! you re in! but when you have high blood pressure and need cold medicine that works fast, the choice is simple. coricidin hbp is the #1 brand that gives powerful cold symptom relief without raising your blood pressure. coricidin hbp. rewards me basicallyaptain everywhere i stay.bvious and hotels.com
it is surprising and shocking. there are very few muslims in latin america, that people are coming from all over the world and coming across our porous southern border. that s not just my opinion by the way. laredo station of customs and border protection tells us over 600 bangladeshis at that station, that s literally the other side of the globe, were caught crossing there. we have no idea how many weren t caught crossing. what does that tell us? it tells us that the world knows that the place to cross easily into the united states is our southern border because it s undefended and it s porous. steve, that is not true. an administration official has told cnn. you can t say this. what part? you re saying there s no innuendo. what does that mean when you say prayer rugs? no one said, oh, my gosh, i found a crucifix. oh, my gosh, look, there s a crucifix at the southern border, because that means catholics, or
because of where i grew up. but i travelled the whole world. this country is certainly isolated in certain pockets. but i think it all matters, on the. this isn t just donald don trump and how i think he should behave. this is the president of the united states and you re entering martin luther king jr. day and you re talking about prayer rugs? so i think it all matters. i think you re spot on about what people can do and i also think the accountability reminds people of why it matters so much. it s not too much to ask people to care more and i want you to eshow that by making an effort to do something rather than saying oh, my gosh. it s like a hashtag. i got big breaking news to get to.
