Honest with how the Trump Administration can reconcile that claim with images like this and sounds like these. Those are children crying waiting for the parents they have been taken from. The audio obtained by pro publica. This is not separation anxiety, this is separation. Real trauma. We will be joined by a pediatrician that wrote several letters calling for this to stop. In part, because it could lead to this. It was, as we reported and as members of the administration openly stated when they were selling this policy, a
deliberate choice. Now when faced with the consequences and the bipartisan up roar against it, the response has been to deny responsibility and shift the blame. And i say it very strongly, the democrats fault. They are obstructionist and they are obstructing. We are stuck with these horrible laws. What is happening is so sad. It is so sad and it can be taken care of quickly, beautifully and well have safety. This could really be something very special. It could be so
worse. if the four of us sat here months ago and talked about secretary nielsen s odds of being in the job and we would say no and the problem is she s there because she is actually enacting the number one policy of the trump administration, which is lie, lie, lie, to get yourself out of it. and frankly watching it, i was almost more upset with congress yesterday than i was with nielsen because she provably perjured herself a number of times last year in terms of what the policy was, what the child separation policy was. subsequent to her testimony, documents were released and found. there should be a conversation about why is she saying these things? why is she still in office? because, look, she get shellacked yesterday but she knew she would and there is only one person she cares about and that person looked at her and said great. you re doing great. i ll keep you on another six months. and senator merkley has asked the fbi to investigate the statements by secretary nielson
democrat. so in the meantime, you didn t do anything at all and you let kids be separated without tracking them. do you know how outrageous that is, madam secretary? you have no compassion, no empathy here. secretary nielson says she has plenty of compassion. my heart breaks for the system that we have. it does not help us to have vulnerable populations in their journey. there s nothing humane about a system that contemplates what we see today, that contemplates 60,000 children coming across the border unaccompanied. nielson says family units are the surging metrics coming across the border right now, trace. there was another hearing on the u.s. southern border in the senate. you re right. the senate judiciary committee and when connecticut democrat richard blumenthal suggested that the number of people coming across the border is close to
any concessions, politically wouldn t look good but goes against the ethical policy, trying to look for facts or any type of proof as to whether or not a wall would be effective. you know who else doesn t spend a lot of time on capitol hill, secretary nielson had to nearly be subpoenaed, threatened with a subpoena before going to testify before congress. i think dhs has a lot of questions to answer especially when it comes to family separation policy and members of the administration won t acknowledge exist, says there was no policy acceof separation. i don t think dhs should get more funding until they acknowledge what they ve been doing to families and children. does moving from the concrete wall, steel slats, maybe unicorn horns are next. does it seem less and less likely?
problem. i ll see you tuesday night. nancy pelosi said she wouldn t allow the house of representatives to consider this current resolution to use the chamber. so now it s pretty starkly political, shep. shepard: here s what s about to happen. this had been previously scheduled. the president with leaders from conservative side of things. they were going to do it on the schedule today for the white house. i d said they will have discussions on the closing of the government and it said closed press. the president said open press and here it is. interesting, right? thanks very much. thanks for being here. a lot of friends in the room. great friends. mr. vice president, thank you. secretary nielson, thanks very much. we re doing a great job at the border considering we don t have the tools. they tonight give us the tools to work with. meaning they have to have a wall. we have to have a barricade of some kind, a steel barricade. it s already designed.
