more chaotic. this happened on the 42nd anniversary of city-wide in 1977. this one was over a few difficult pawers. we saw new yorkers on their west. when the lights go out, that makes for a situation where a lot of things could go wrong and people could, you know, you think about robberies and crime and how that could escalate when there s chaos like that. absolutely. back in 1977, there was looting after a period of time. there was chaos. near where i live, i saw this on video. there was a grocery store
history. interviews, questions and answers with reporters. there has never been negative quite like this. steve. you worked in administrations in the past where a press event is tightly orchestrated unlike what is going on now. we had a typical day in the white house we prepared for six month and even told our staffers now when the lights go out and camera drops to the floor, remember, the videotape it s still running. they are going to catch what you say. that s when they are going to ask your gotcha question. we were ready for them. never been a white house quite like this that s so open and i think that s healthy. steve: why the criticism, doug? well, they don t like him. he has a lot to say. this is everything fdr dreamed for. the new deal to put america back to work. think of hbj an lbj gave people food stamps and welfare.
so if the lights go out, then you say was that a philia balloon? i feel differently about this one. especially the mylar ones. let s just ban the live ones. let us know what you want to think about the new segment. i will make sure to come up with a new story next time. nobody tweets positive stuff. stay right there, fan mail friday it is up next.
republicans should have won this in a walk. these kinds of seats are plus sevens, districts that republicans win by seven points or more. if democrats find a way to make these winnable, to put these in play, the majority is gone. if you talk to almost any republican, they said if they had lost last night, they would have not been able to make a credible argument to donors or to anybody they could keep the majority. so they are in a really tough spot. they are trying to figure out where they go when the lights go out. remind us again, whether it comes to collins, how much control did he have over things like pharmaceutical companies and how could that be problematic? i mean, this is, let s be completely clear he was on the energy and commerce committee, which has direct oversight over pharmaceutical industry, the medical industry. so i don t know i haven t reviewed his entire legislative record in the hours since he has been indicted. i am sure people are.
boys almost, between the ages of 10 to 17 years old, that are going to sleep in there at night. at 9:00 the lights go out. it s essentially a prison or jail without cages or cells for these young boys. the majority of them who arrived in america as unaccompanied minors, crossed on their own. but an increasing number as you know are separated from their parents because of the trump administration zero tolerance policy. it s hard to wrap your head around but you go inside and there are hundrs of kids at a time in line for chow, doing activities. but they re all there because they were picked the border patrol and locked up. and they re not going to be able to get out of there for the next couple months. at least that s the average stay. have you seen any of the images or video we re showing right now from the facility.
