DISTRACTION.
DISTRACTION. AFTER SEEING THAT JUST THE IDEA
OF IT CAUSED OUTRAGE LAST NIGHT,
TODAY THE PRESIDENT CONFIRMED
HE’S IN FACT CONSIDERING
STRONGLY AS HE PUT IT BUSSING

JULIA, WE TRY TO KEEP OUR EYE ON
THE BALL AROUND HERE AND WE TRY
TO CALL STUFF FOR WHAT IT IS
ARE BOTH OF THESE STORIES THE
USING MIGRANTS AS A POLITICAL
WEAPON, THE OFFERING A PARDON AS
A GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD, ARE
THEY BOTH SOME RADIO CHATTER
>> I THINK THAT WAS A WORTHWHILE CONVERSATION IN NEWSROOMS ACROSS
WASHINGTON TODAY IS SHOULD WE
KEEP GIVING AIR AND LIP SERVICE
TO THESE IDEAS THAT SEEM TO BE
COMING FROM THE DARK CORNERS OF
A MINE AND SOMEONE INSIDE THE
WHITE HOUSE?
WHITE HOUSE? MAYBE THE PRESIDENT, MAYBE
STEEFB
STEEFB STEVEN MILLER, BUT THEY’RE
ACTUALLY MEANT AS SCARE TACTICS.
THE ANSWER AND WHY WE CAME DOWN
TO PUBLISHING STORIES LIKE THESE
IS BECAUSE THIS ADMINISTRATION
HAS BEEN KNOWN TO ACT ON THINGS
THAT ARE NOT LEGALLY OR
LOGISTICALLY POSSIBLE AND THEN
THEY’RE IMMEDIATELY CHALLENGED
BY THE COURTS, BUT THEY
HAPPENED
HAPPENED IT WAS THE SAME CONVERSATION I
HAD WITH MY EDITORS IN FEBRUARY
OF 2017 AND WE HEARD THAT THEY
WERE THINKING ABOUT SEPARATING
FAMILIES AT THE BORDER
IT’S SOMETHING THEY WENT AHEAD
WITH
WITH SAME THING WITH THE IDEA OF
STOPPING ALL ASYLUM SEEKERS IF
THEY ENTERED THE COUNTRY BETWEEN
LEGAL PORTS OF ENTRY
THEY WENT AHEAD WITH THAT.
IT WAS ENJOINED BY THE COURT,
BUT WE DID IT.
WE HAVE TO PUT OUT THIS
INFORMATION THAT’S BEING TALKED
ABOUT.
ABOUT. AS COURTNEY AND I REPORTED,
THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY MEETING
ON TUESDAY NIGHT WHERE THEY
BROUGHT IN OFFICIALS FROM THE
DEFENSE DEPARTMENT AND TALKED
ABOUT A PLAN TO USE TROOPS NOT
JUST TO BUILD TENT CITIES, BUT
ALSO TO RUN THEM WHICH WOULD BE
IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF A LAW
THAT KEEPS THE MILITARY FROM
ENFORCING DOMESTIC LAW
THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO
INTERACT WITH IMMIGRANTS
RIGHT NOW THE PLAN TO BUILD THE
TENT CITIES HAS GONE FURTHER
THAT COULD END UP IN AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN DHS AND DOD
VERY SOON.
VERY SOON. THE PLAN TO RUM THEM HAS NOT
BEEN OPERATIONALIZED YET
IT HASN’T BEEN TAKEN OFF THE
TABLE.
TABLE. NONE OF THESE THINGS HAVE.
THE PRESIDENT MADE IT CLEAR
TODAY THAT HE AT LEAST FROM A
MESSAGING STANDPOINT IS NOT
TAKING AWAY THINGS LIKE BUSSING
IMMIGRANTS TO SANCTUARY CITIES
AT THIS POINT ALL OF THESE
THINGS HANG IN THE BALANCE,
ESPECIALLY AT A TIME WE KNOW THE
PRESIDENT IS GETTING RID OF
PEOPLE WHO SAY NO TO HIM AND
HE’S FILLING THESE POSITIONS
WITH ACTING SECRETARIES AND
ACTING ADMINISTRATORS WHO SAY
YES MORE OFTEN.
>> JOYCE, LAST NIGHT WHEN THE
IDEA OF USING MIGRANTS CAME OUT
IN "THE WASHINGTON POST," THERE
WAS ACTUAL HYPER VENTILATION
MAGGIE HABERMAN’S GUESS WAS THE
PRESIDENT WAS WATCHING TV AND
THE IDEA SOUNDS TOUGH TO HIM AND
BEING STOPPED BY LAWYERS
DOESN’T.
DOESN’T. EMILY SINGER TWEETED ABOUT THE
IDEA
IDEA TRUMP IS SO RACIST
HE THINKS IT’S PUMP TO SEND
BROWN IMMIGRANTS INTO SOMEONE’S
CITY
CITY IT’S DISGUSTING.
IT’S DISGUSTING. ON THE LAW OF IT, JOYCE, IS IT
LEGAL TO DO?
>> YOU KNOW IT’S AN INTERESTING
QUESTION AND WE WOULDN’T KNOW A
PRECISE ANSWER UNTIL WE SAW
EXACTLY WHAT THE PRESIDENT DID
THERE’S SOME QUESTION ABOUT
WHETHER ISIS CAN TRANSPORT
PEOPLE FURTHER ONCE THEY’VE
CAUGHT THEM.
CAUGHT THEM. COULD THEY ACTUALLY TRANSPORT
THEM FOR HOURS
WOULD THAT BE SOME FORM OF
LAWFUL DETENTION
LAWFUL DETENTION AND THEN THERE WILL BE QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHETHER, FOR INSTANCE,
SANCTUARY CITIES HAVE FIRST
AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND WHETHER THE
PRESIDENT IS PUNISHING THEM FOR
THEIR EXERCISE OF THOSE RIGHTS
THIS IS ALL VERY SPECULATIVE
THIS IS NEW.
THIS IS UNPLOWED TERRITORY
YOU WANT TO SAY THAT IT’S
DANGEROUS FOR THIS
ADMINISTRATION, BUT NOTHING
REALLY SEEMS TO BE DANGEROUS
NO MATTER HOW FAR TRUMP GOES
STEPPING ON THESE TRADITIONAL
NORMS AND RIGHTS
HE NEVER SEEMS TO BE
ACCOUNTABLE.
ACCOUNTABLE. >> WE HAVEN’T EVEN TOUCHED ON
THE LAW WHICH MANY OF US THOUGHT
WAS A LYRIC TO WOOLLY BULLY.
HOW ABOUT THE LEGALITY OF
OFFERING A PARDON?
IS THAT A PROBLEM?
>> YOU KNOW, WE’RE BACK I
SUPPOSE TO THIS ISSUE THAT WE’VE
DEALT WITH OTHER TIMES, BUT
LOOK, THIS STORY WITH ACTING
SECRETARY, THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT’S DIFFERENT
THAT’S DIFFERENT THIS IS THE PRESIDENT WHO HAS BY
THE WAY JUST FIRED HIS
SECRETARY.
SECRETARY. A SECRETARY WHO LOYALTY --
LOYALLY CARRIED OUT EVERYTHING
HE ASKED HER TO IN THE AREA OF
SEPARATING KIDS FROM THEIR
PARENTS AND HE FIRED HER WE ARE
TOLD BECAUSE SHE WOULD NOT
VIOLATE THE LAW.
HE’S GOT A NEW ACTING SECRETARY
AND THE FIRST THING HE SAYS TO
HIM IS I NEED YOU TO VIOLATE THE
