it. i want you to hear what jeh johnson told us earlier about this very issue. on tuesday, there were 4,000 apprehensions, one day alone. 4,000. we re on pace this month for 1,000 apprehensions. the highest we saw on my watch was may 2014, 65,000, so this is a crisis. when i was down there in may, 135,000 came in may. total of 690,000 by the end of june. jeh johnson said that was too much to handle then. he was asking congress to do something a month ago. they haven t. where do we go from here? where you go is after the fourth of july holiday, president trump should convene a bipartisan group of legislators on both sides of the aisle in order to create and hammer out a comprehensive deal. i don t think they will do it. we ve been trying to do this piecemeal for 40 years.
organization is perfect. there s some violence. no one condones the violence. there s different reasons for antifa and neo-nazis to be there. one, racist fascists. the other group fighting racist fascistsin. there s a distinction there. no group is perfect. that is an understatement. is it time to classify antifa as a terror group? bernie is here helping to put together an anti terror task force. commissioner, how do you label this group? first of all, this is an extremely violent group that goes out and threatens, intimidates, attacks with extreme violence for political reasons. if you look up terrorism, the definition of terrorism, that s what terrorism is. when somebody threats, imposes threats and violence for political reasons.

at our universities and online, antifa uses intimidation threats and violence to target freedom of speech, freedom assembly and freedom of thought here in this country. they re a tearist group. one that is rewarted by the elite class. twitter and facebook, they ban alex jones and others but let antifa harass with impunity. why is that? chris cuomo compared them to d-day soldiers. don lemon loves them. [bleep], [bleep]. [bleep]. [bleep]. [bleep]. says it in the name. antifa, anti-fascism. you know, there s no organization that is perfect.
