so it may be intentional distraction. it may be he just likes the idea of focusing on something he knows is different. it may be a combination. it may be this is an easy way of getting out of a trip he didn t want to do. you said the same day he suggested russia was in the g7. russia was kicked out after they occupied crimea. they were kicked out. now he says he wants russia back. we re getting a new response from russia this morning. russia says it needs to receive and examine trackable proposals for its return to the g7. but the idea he invites russia back in the same day he basically kicks a nato ally and you say it s not a coincidence? i think that that was not a great headline for him. and i think that people were not upset with the idea of talking about denmark and greenland as opposed to talking about that. i don t know that that was the specific thing. again, i don t want to say there s a you know, there s
to establish internment camps. that is lock up children and their parents through the duration of immigration proceedings which could be many years. this has already been known to be deeply traumatic to children and it is a terrible, terrible idea. but that s exactly what this strategy would do. didn t congress give the trump administration more money to hire more judges to speed up this process? yes, they did. absolutely. but you still have a back lock that is about a five or six-year backlog even then. so more has to be done on that front. but realize this is part of a coordinated strategy. we have an administration that has just recently appealed to a circuit court and lost arguing they didn t need to provide soap and basic nutrition to children. you have an administration that has been using a for-profit, no-compete contract to lock up thousands of kids in homestead,
any jewish people that vote for a democrat shows a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty. a profound anti-semitic statement by the president. will it divide them? we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is new day. unfathomable, smug, disrespectful. those are just some of the words from danish lawmakers overnight. this move comes after the danish prime minister dismissed the idea of selling greenland to the united states calling it absurd. but is that really the reason the president is canceling the trip there? the president himself the other day said that greenland is not a front burner issue. so why?
but i think the number of people who are going to necessarily hold him responsible for that versus him in congress becomes something of a wash i think is debatable. maggie, why isn t the president going to denmark? so, i don t know the actual reason he s not going. but i m fairly certain that this controversy in greenland and purchasing it is not it. the president was already getting disinterested in this trip before the wall street journal broke that story about him having conversations about purchasing greenland. he has been talking about the idea of seeing if they could acquire greenland for many, many, many months. this is not something that came up recently. and to be fair to him, you know, he got made fun of quite a bit for doing this. the reality is it s not new for the u.s. to look at whether they can make the land acquisition. it s his staff mocking him and that sets the tone. that is what it is. i don t know what the actual reason is he doesn t want to go. but this is a
right now in stuff that s just a head wind. and now they say they have been talking about payroll tax cuts. after they denied it. right. so they lied about that. and it s look. what we had heard was this was a great washington post scoop. and they got sort of kicked in the knees by the white house immediately. in fact, that story was true. as often happens. the president sends aides out to say something is false then he confirms it later on. it s not surprising that they are looking at what tools there are to try to juice the economy given the warning signs that they are seeing. most people around the president will say, you know, any sense of a panic or a scramble is overstated. but they certainly are looking at what they can do over the next 14 months. he knows and his advisers know just on sort of an elemental level, his re-election depends not entirely but in part on what the feelings are about the economy. and do we have any idea of when they got this idea to because
