incidents of hate since march of last year. vicky nguyen, investigative and consumer correspondent doing so much great reporting on this topic. thank you for being here. tell us what you heart from some of these athletes. good morning, hallie. it s great to be here with you. this is an incredible group of athletes and they have diverse perspectives. the games are intended to bring the whole world together and be a showcase for the history and culture of the host country. but for asian-american athletes, it comes against a bittersweet backdrop because for the past year, they ve been dealing with postponing their sport but also some racism and discrimination linked to the coronavirus. i had a chance to sit down with team usa olympians and paralympians to ask them how they ve been handling it and what they want the world to know. these are some of the asian-american athletes representing team usa in tokyo. this is something that i ve dreamed of since i was a kid.
made, and they re abusing our policy-making system for partisan politics. if you re a democrat, ten years ago you should have decided to fund the wall and call the republicans bluff, because republicans have said secure the border, we ll look at amnesty, daca, all the policy things that democrats want. so few yo take them if you take them at their face value on what they want policy wise, then they should have funded the border wall and said, look, that s done, let s do these policy making decisions. that s exactly what president trump put on the table, and nancy pelosi rejected it. so if your only thing is to say that it doesn t work, build it and prove it. quit talking about it. the truth is it s a way to garner votes, donations, and that s what this is all about. yeah, if not the border wall, then what? what is the solution? all right. great discussion. thanks, guys. coming up on the big sunday show, big losses for team usa
