Carnage at, yet another u. N. Schoolhousing refugees in gaza. The third time they have bombed the u. N. Run school. The state department was appalled by the disgraceful shelling outside the school. There can be no question of the state identity . No, absolutely, no. There was encouraging news about an american doctor infected with ebola. I cant think of a better place in the world, other than Emory University hospital, to care for this patient. The plane has picked up the second ebola patient to go to georgia. Congress has left the building. Leading the president promising to go solo on the humanitarian crisis at the border. So thats not disagreement between me and the house of republicans.

This problem with the surge of children and families at the border did not occur until 2013. Not in 08, 09, 10, or 11. This is exploitation of our laws. The president fostered an environment in which in 2012, deportations would decrease. That was a corollary to exploitation of this law that led to the tragic situation among the border. Let me add this. This is unconscionable that the president goes to texas for a fundraiser and photo op, but not

What was the logic of the law . First of all, i was very proud to be part of the sponsoring of the victims rights. Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery. America must protect vulnerable persons. I was proud to be part of the 2008 law. This problem with the surge of children and families at the border did not occur until 2013. Not in 08, 09, 10, or 11.

All of it as this special edition of the the 11th hour gets under way. Geegts once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. The holidays are here again. We are on the brink of a new year and it gives us another chance to revisit some of the conversations weve had here in this studio at this very desk with storytellers, journalists, and writers that we admire. Throughout broadcast were going to listen to the people who told those stories, the best and the most prolific documentary filmmaker of our time, biographers of the president s inner circle in the east wing and west wing of the white house. We will also hear from some exceptional men and women who were born outside of our country but decided to devote their lives and lifes work to the United States and what they mean to all of us in this perilous time for our countrys political life.
