Wont let the media be eye ands ears. Guess what, we have a lawmakers on the show who just got a look at whats happening in florida. And a World Champion basketball star with a lot to say about the Political Climate in america. We have him here tond. Golden state warrior day monday green. Its 9 00 p. M. In the east. The new happy hour. According to a fan. What do you say, lets get after it. Administration officials being heckle. A democrat calling for more and lt president saying she better watch out. What is going on . Lets ask one of the people who wants to step in the middle of this. One of President Trump hollywood supporters running for congress in a heavily democratic district. In california. Antonio sabato jr. Very familiar face. Lets get after it. Its good to have you here with us, sir. Thank you. Whats your diagnosis of the situation . What we see with Maxine Waters. The people who are showing up going at Trump Officials and others in power. Who are seen as trump friendly saying were not going to take it anymore were coming for you . Yeah. Maxine waters i call her the hustler of hate. Promoting hate and division. And fwal attacking the administration or anybody involved with the administration. Thats unheard of. She should be put behind bars and throw away the key. She should be arrested . For what. For all the crime. She makes millions of dollars. Lives in beverly hills. Her constituents are dying in the streets. Go live in your neighborhood. Go live in surround yourself with your community. And help them physically. Be there. Surround yourself like oim doing for 15 years. Thats what people in congress should be like. Involve with the community 100 . She is not. How do you make millions of dollars by making 250 a year maybe . Wheres she taking the money . Its corruption to th max. I hear you about feeling that the people who represent a district should reflect the district. I get it. Were taking a look at this situation that we have here. So much anger on both sides. You say you want to get into the process, i assume your motivation is make it better. That kind of talk, she should be in jail. She should be. Theres no crime. You understand what youre saying. Youre asking me a question. Ill answer the best way i know how. Im very much involved in my community in district 26. Ill win in november in. People in congress and the Democratic Party would actually put this country the American Flag first. Not the president. But the americans first. This country would be perfect. Americans dying on the street and homelessness in los angeles. We have to step up and do more. How do you get more done if you cant work with the other side . Im talking about you. The ability to work with the other side is going to have to require a return to civility. What Maxine Waters is saying i get theres out rage from the people who like what shes saying and out rage from people who dont like it. There is a reason that she said what she said. The why matters here. Because of whats being said on the other side. Theres so much hostility. Look what you said. She should be in jail. You have said obama and Hillary Clinton should be in jail. You have said a lot of provocative things that dont make anything better. How is that a good solution . I didnt leave my people to die in libya. I support the military. What does that mean . Im not going on a press conference and tell everyone to attack or do anything against people working for the administration. Im attacking right now the socialist party in sacramento and washington d. C. I believe the American Flag and our constitution should be first for people that go to washington. Thats what i believe. How do you put the flag first or god first. God is truth. Amen to that. Lets play something you said not too long ago. I dont believe the guy is a christian. I dont believe he follows the god i love and the jesus i love. If you understand about obama. Thats not a christian name . We had a muslim president. Look. You know its not true. How is it helpful . Hold on. First of all, what is wrong with calling anyone a muslim . It is when theyre not. Ill call you a muslim. Its not accurate. Its fine. What im saying is you can call me a muslim. Im not going to use it against you. Or against me in the case. Thats what i said. That was my opinion. Lets talk about now. Lets talk about today. Whats going on right now. That was in 2016. During the convention. We have 26 billion in immigration. You want to represent a group of people. Let alone a district that clinton won by 22 points. Listen. Who are you representing by calling obama a muslim . When you know its not true. What does that do . Thats positive. Im not talking about that. Youre bringing it up. Its too bad. You said it you have to own it now. Nobody is perfect. Im willing to express my opinion and mistakes. Will you apologize . I did. I did on the view if you remember. If you did your home work. You didnt. I remember you saying in the transcript hes probably not a muslim. I understand that. Thats not an apology. You knew he wasnt when you said it. Theres nothing wrong with calling him a muslim. I shouldnt apologize. It is when its a false to disparage him and feed hate. Journalism is dead. Ask questions. In the middle. Im a republican. But the way you attack. How is asking to account for what you said why did you say this. What did you mean. Its not true. The American People know whats going on. They know whats going on. This november they will know more. They will get people in congress who are there who love this country. Theres one thing you can say whatever you want about me. I love this nation and i care. I care about my community. I care about my people. I listen to what they want and ill do what they want me to do. Do you think they want you to divide people along christian and muslim lines . And people should be in jail if you dont dont change the narrative and make it work for you. Thats what you do best. American people are smarter han that. They dont watch your net work. Im here to promote. You came on a net work that nobody watches . Why did you do that. Youre a smart guy. I want to talk to you. I really did. I want to have this conversation. Im not afraid of you guys whatsoever. You shouldnt be afraid of the truth. You attack people. The way you attack the administration and anybody involved is disgraceful. You should go to communion. And make peace with the man upstairs. You would go to are you a catholic . Know what youre talking about first. Throw big bombs. Make sure. Thats right. Thats something you should do. Im helping you out. Understand your own faith. I dont need your help. You need a little bit of help. Not from you. Im giving you an opportunity. Youre from italy. Born there. You came legally. The problem with the country immigration system is two field. You have a Legal Immigration issue and illegal. Do you agree with the President Trump about a zero tolerance approach to ilLegal Immigration . When i came here in 1985 we waited in line for many yores. My parents ran out of the money. We came two years on a green card. We worked hard and when we came to the border we had to sign a paper that said dont take any welfare from the country. That was the good old days. When you come here illegally you get free programs. The American People have to pay for. Thats wrong. What if people need help . To what about the American People . Do it legally. We have a door. They dont have to leave their country they can go to the embassy. And ask for asylum there. Theyre coming here illegally because theres Human Trafficking and bringing drugs and bringing. Some. This has been going on way too long. Some matters. The context matters. Zero tolerance means nobody gets in. Do you agree with the president that Border Agents should be able to turn everybody back without due process . Listen, theres a will the of people this europe. Millions are waiting to come here. All over the world. I get it. I did it right way. We have to follow the law. Do you agree . Zero tolerance . If i came to your house and went through the window. With all my kids and everybody else and used your house and ate your dinner. Would you call the police . Window of my house because the somebody was chasing you with an ax. I would call the police. You dont have time to call the police. If my window is open would you jump in . I would take the guy out. What is everybody is not as tough as you. Not every situation is equal. I want to get questions from you on the record. Do you agree with not needing d people back . I think if you cross the border illegally, theres a price you have to pay. If you do it legally through the door, come in legally. We are allowing you to be an american citizen. Do it legally. Thats all im saying. Legal immigration, coming through what the numbers are thats one issue. Illegal is another one. We had this flash point with the separation of kids from their parents. As they come across and the mess that is resulted thats going on now. Do you agree with what the president did . Actually, he over ridden that. He wants families to Stay Together with the kids. This was started by obama. It was not. Kids were coming here. Human trafficking and carrying drugs. We have a border. If we dont have a border woe dont have a country. Do you separate them or keep them together . I would never separate i know youre trying to be a smart ass. I would never allow kids and parents to be separated. Now you dont like the question. Did he do the right thing or wrong . I dont think the president said that at all. The president said to separate kids from families . I dont think he wants to separate anyone. He did that. With the zero tolerance policy. We follow the law. He didnt make the law, did he . Right. You follow the law. Did he write the law . Hes following the law. If i break the law i have to pay consequences like you and i and everybody else in the country that is legally. How you enforce the law matters. Not everybody who jaywalks gets prosecuted. The immigration situation we know it, its been broken for a long time. We have to start fresh. And we have to Start Talking and making sure we get a good one in place coming up soon. Hopefully after november. Now, one of the reasons i want you to come on tonight and as your race goes on youre welcome to come back. I dont think it helps you in your race. It helps me with my reporting. If its always about hostility. You wouldnt have been on the show. I decide who comes on. I think that. Its about god and love. Its about taking care of people. And Standing Firm to the policies we have. Thats fine. And the law and the constitution of the country. You can argue policy and faith. You dont have to attack people for asking the questions. You dont have to attack things that you dont like by insult. You can make arguments. Are you talking to yourself . Im talking to you. You do that very well. I would need medication. Im trying to get a point to you. What im saying is we need to be able to have conversations where instead of attacking me for asking the question, answer them. I test them we go back and forth. People know your ideas. They can make an informed judgment. Thats what im out for. Youre always welcome back here. Im always into that. Absolutely. 100 . Its coming from a good place. People need information and less hostility. Of course i agree. You can take that to the bank yourself and keep it right here close to your heart. I try every damn night. Ill have you back soon. My pleasure. Antonio sabato jr. Running for congress in california. All right now, we have a different perspective. Congresswoman of florida hours ago went to a facility where we cant get in. They dont want the media to be eyes and ears inside these facilities. Lawmakers can find their own way in and look at the kids they have been separated from parents. Congresswoman, thank you for being with us. We can get into that b. S. I was just dealing with. You have your own to take on. First the kids. What did you see on the inside . A week ago senator nelson and i were denied access to the homestead facility which has 1,300 kids. It took me a week to be able to get into the facility with the younger children. Which i was able to get access to today. What i was struck by the most, there are 22 kids there who were separated from families. Im talking about four or five, six yearolds. Preschool age kids. It looks like a Day Care Center. Its a permanent facility. Not a temporary shelter. And it looks like a Day Care Center but what i was struck by is that unlike when i dropped my kids off at day care and picked them up and had them run into my arms, they dont see their parents. They arent picked up. They fwo of them havent even been able to locate parents. Children are being cared for by strangers. Teen moms in the facility. I met one of them who just came in last night and looked scared and alone. This is all the result of the president really having an abhorrent policy. Which is unnecessary and unacceptable. One practicality. The staff, do they feel they can handle the extra capacity and what is their understanding about the time line of when the kids in their custody will be reunited . They dont have any idea when they can get the kids reunited. They are working to reunite, but the problem that we discovered at homestead and here is hhs the health and Human Services only they can only really work to reunite children and look for parents and go through process monday through friday. Because dhs Homeland Security doesnt have staff working on the weekends to make sure the process can be completed. They have reyiunited some children. They have 22 there now. The facility in homestead has 70 children and they werent able to really tell me any of them have been reunited. Thats just unacceptable. This is a creation of President Trump and completely abhorrent and unnecessary. We know how we got here. How do we get out of it. The lawmakers like yourself we have to hold accountable. You have to help put out the fire. And we have to see how the system works over time. Every day for a kid at that tender age is one day too many. The politics of this. Where its leading us. You saw the interview with Antonio Sabato jr. Talking out after play book that works well for the side. Anything i ask makes me an enemy to the cause and my country. Maybe offensive to god as well. And its now being echoed on the left. Im not doing a blame game. Im seeing whats in frnt of us. What Maxine Waters said, do you believe that that kind of rhetoric and calls for shame came pains are the answer for your party . We can have civil discourse and civil disobedience. What i know is that you have Sarah Huckabee sanders who was asked to leave a restaurant. And children torn from their parents. And are being cared for by strangers. Some are in detention facilities and cant be cared for or picked up by the people who are working at the facility. Those are quite different situations. By orders of magnitude. They fall in categories. It is in the two wrongs make a right category. No, they arent remotely comparable wrongs. You have a situation. Orders of magnitude different. But the tactic is the same. We dont like what youre doing. Well do something bad to you. Thats what trump did with the kids. And waters is calling for with people she doesnt like from the administration. Go shame them. You cant compare someone calling for civil disobedience. Of course not. With a policy that has torn children from their families. Of course not. As a tactic how does it help . Ill tell you. Spare me i wont be lectured by President Trump. Or any of his allies over civil discourse and what the definition of civility is. These are people that have courseened our discourse beyond almost repair. And the first thing out of the gate that Antonio Sabato jr. Said to you was that Maxine Waters should be arrested. At the same time saying that we have to put the flag and the constitution first. Last time i checked theres a First Amendment in the constitution. Yet he wants to put it first. But put her in prison for exercising it. Whats theolution for flame throwing . Stay way from gasoline. Trying to put out a fire. We need to sit down together in a bipartisan way. Which we have been unable to do it. Theyre doing a republican only process in congress. And work through the issues and pass immigration reform. This is a crisis that President Trump has created himself. We have the lowest rates of undocumented immigration in modern times right now. We have ramped up Border Security funding on the appropriation committee. We have ramped up significantly Border Security funding. We have the safest border we have had in decades. If not longer. And what the president is doing is terminating programs like the Community Care program which would have gotten up the rate of people who show up for hearings. And cost 36 a day. You get 51 of the people in favor of a wall. Thats politics of perception. My concern is this, its frightening to me that you guys men and women of goodwill. Of left and right persuasion. Couldnt come together to find an immediate fix. The republicans refused to do that. Theyre in control. We can put a bill on the floor tomorrow. You should to it. So the nepeople in the country know thats where your head is. Theres legislation filed. It would end the ability for the president to separate children and parents. And prevent these children that i saw today who were really alone and werent able to be comforted by their mom or dad. And many whom have no idea who they are. Can talk twice a week for ten minutes at a time. I can talk to my kids any time i want to. These kids have been ripped from their parents. We can end
