ideas around which america is built, it was abraham lincoln. politicians recognized the power that his name still has and use it. and that vision of lincoln s of a generous, inclusive america has driven this country for more than 200 years. president lincoln not only understood the heartbreak of his country, he also understood the cost of sacrifice. abraham lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation. the president said, and i quote, if my name ever goes down into history, it will be for this act, and my whole soul is in it. my whole soul is in it. generations of black people named their children lincoln, because lincoln freed the slaves. but it s a lot more complicated than that. a lot of people think lincoln was a fiery opponent of slavery from the day he was born, and that s not quite true. turns out that a great way to put down the rebellion is to yank the enslaved africans out from under his enemies. and the guy really was freeing the slaves, hope thanks
believe we are. when we ve been serious and border security during my time, mexico is willing to step up and help us. if we re not willing to hold up our end and release people and no consequence, the questions from my counter parts in mexico why should we do the work if you re not doing the end game. this administration is not clearly willing to do the end game and enforce the laws of the united states. neil: if you look at the latest package, very little devoted to what is happening at the border. i m wondering is it a money problem, is it a commitment problem? obviously it s a resource issue when you re dealing with these types of crowds. where are we going with it? so it s a commitment problem, neil, this is what it comes down to. i heard you say earlier we re not spending any money. we re spending millions and millions of tax dollars on the border. instead of building a barrier and providing the technology to the agents that has been paid
by the police service. so, yes, i do think my life could be at risk. i won t say i have been threatened recently, i have in the past. injuly, i m guessing what happened injuly gave you pause whenjoanna stutchbury, a long term conservationist, she was determined to try and halt development in a wetland area in kiambu forest national park, she was murdered. as far as i am aware, the police investigation has uncovered no suspects, no culprit. there s certainly been nobody held to account. do you think there is a law enforcement problem here, a commitment problem from those in power? you know, i tried to find out what the status of the investigation is. i m ashamed to say there is nothing to show for the investigation. i think, like so many of these things, if they re not
a commitment problem from those in power? you know, i tried to find out what the status of the investigation is. i m ashamed to say there is nothing to show for the investigation. i think, like so many of these things, if they re not investigated very quickly and if action isn t taken straight away, all the leads go cold. it would be such a shame ifjoanna died in vain. there is a group of us working very hard to maintain her name and her legacy, by securing that forest and creating a memorial to her that all children, there will even be a book for children to help them understand this. we don t want people to be silenced by fear that somebody could come and gun you down in broad daylight and there will be no repercussions. we want people to be bold and courageous and fight
