great state of iowa. a brewing battle over who has the harshest vision from america. trump and desantis prepared to do it out in a fight for the gop nomination. plus, the greatest ongoing shift towards authoritarianism, if they work literally wrote the authoritative study on the subject. also, the harsh realities, now that title 42 is history is easy to forget, this is a humanitarian crisis, there are enormous hurdles for those arriving at our border by the books. we are going to show. you and holding a line on reproductive rights in south carolina. one of the woman fighting to keep an ultra restrictive abortion ban from becoming law is with us. this is american voices. . we begin this hour with the humanitarian crisis at our southern border with mexico. as the u.s. struggles to meet the reality of the growing complexities of migration. this new reality demands every imagining of our immigration system, a system meant for the realities of past decades. new data from the dep
immigrant side. and i mean krish, just to underline what lindsay is saying there, i think joe biden could go down to the border, build a wall himself with his own bare hands. even then, you would not have republicans say okay, job done, we did it, right? so for them, they are insatiable on this issue. so i am unclear, from a political calculus standpoint, what the true value is to some democrats, of not offering an alternative vision of what immigration, asylum and our border could look like. you are exactly right. what we have one side doing is fearmongering, as lindsay mentioned. the other side the use immigration as their achilles heel. they will either remain radio silent, or feel like they could put out a message of, do not come to the border.
sense if he was talking to the committee or other things, it certainly would have been his duty to disclose. again, i don t like what they did politically, but this thing is such a mess, chris, i can t tell you. i just talked with ambassadors and intelligence officials, both who are apoplectic about the way this thing is going. and they don t like either parties presentation on this thing. what is the democrat side doing i should be saying house side, but let s be honest. it s completely partisan. we have no reason to believe anyone on the right has anything to do working with democratsat this point on the inquiry. what the democrats doing wrong, mike? i don t think that s fair. honestly. if you re going to do this correctly, you do it in confidence. a whistle-blower complaint and i on boarded these as chairman, should be a confidential conversation classified, nondisclosed inquiry inside of the committee, period. and i did these. by the way, eight out of ten of these things pro
and teenagers in some cases. what s behind that thinking? i don t know. as you know and everybody knows, alabama has a strong evangelical base and so i don t know and some ministers have come out and say they don t necessarily support the candidate but they are opposed to what they see the roy moore side doing. some of the others have had a reluctance to do that so i don t know what the thinking is but i think the people in the stronger churches, they really want the population to know we re on the side ofus and the right thing and a lot of them appear to want to say we support doug jones but they don t say it in so many words. so i know they have to understand what s happening here. they are responsible for not only their congregation but the church as well, the church is a major force in this state, the evangelicals have always had a
been accusations on both sides, summer accusing democrats for the rhetoric but isn t there plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the aisle? maybe that depends on what the season is. it seems like on january 20 it has been a jihad against republicans. to i want to go down this path, not really but we have to acknowledge that those that are holding up president trumps had been a joke there s extreme things going on that i have never seen people on my side doing. disable back seven years ago they re doing stuff, i don t remember it with the anger like that. on one level you will have a fringe group on the healthcare side of everything that tries to commit and join a more mainstream group. those are the ones that generally get the camera action.
