coming soon to a city near you. you watched that exchange between peter baker who asked the question of the president, thought it was the most important of the last week. why do you they? because there was a tie-in between the president not understanding what western liberalism is and reflects his approach to both american society, his attacks on the media and the courts and the total disinterest in an america that stands for the international institutions, the liberal world order. this has been the principal purpose of the united states and the world, to strengthen institutions, to limit what countries can do against human rights, to promote democracy and freedom in the world. and then you see the way he cozied up to all of the authoritarians or dictators around the world. to me it made a piece all against the back drop of the supreme court decisions. this was not a good week for american democracy or american values. either here at home or in the world. that exchange to me that you
held 155 adult males with only one toilet and sink with temperatures in the cells reaching more than 80 degrees. joinings now the reporter behind the story, national security reporter for nbc news, julia ainsley. so break this down for us. where s the conflict in this report from dhs? good question. so what this what happened on friday was that acting secretary kevin mcaleenan said that the reports were unsubstantiated that we re taking about last week. he said those were all through the eyes of lawyers who went into the facilities and basically overblew what they saw, but now this report shows as early as may 7th, dhs inspector general, their own watchdog sent off red flags internally that warned about some of the very same conditions that those lawyers found. same conditions that kevin mcaleenan said were unsubstantiated and the same sector said el paso sector of texas, they saw children wearing the same clothes. they saw that overcrowding you mentioned. they even said it got to
the word dictator is overused but he deserves the description. he s a tyrant. what s happened inside that country has been a slow motion genocide. elise, what did you think? it makes me want to puke. just me visceral reaction as an american who cares about democracy and human rights the fact that donald trump is going out of his way to kiss up just to this monster, instead of actually projecting strength. what have we gotten from the north koreans for all this pomp and circumstance and the propaganda coup of having the president crossing into the north korea other than diminishing our own standing in the the world. north korea had agreed to denuclearize, but that hasn t happened in the year or so since then so i guess the question is what comes from that hand shake? is it a means to an end or just
his marks. and was very effective. i agree with you, joe. last week he had a big breakout week for him in the contrast that he drew with vice president biden over race relations and biden s comments. i think he was able to capitalize on that momentum this week in the debate. strong performance. i think we ll hear a lot more from cory booker and i think you ll see him rise in the polls after last night s performance. what i like d about cory booker s performance was his closing statement. there was no question from the panel or to the panel about the divisions in the country. no real question about what separated us and how would you as a president bring us together. and what cory booker did is is he hit that note. he didn t bring up the word love, but he brought up a way of governing that would bring us together as a country. to figure out how to speak to the divide that donald trump has been exploiting over the last two years. ask that was an important message. he had a very goo
