AND THERE'S A REAL LIFE
KWIK-E-MART, THE DELICIOUS
DETAILS COMING UP.
OUR TOP STORY THIS HALF HOUR,
PRESIDENT TRUMP SET TO HOLD A
LIVE EVENT JUST AFTER NOON TODAY
SEND JUST REGULAR PEOPLE INTO
TAKE CARE OF MS-13 AND THESE
GANGS?
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
I JUST WANT TO THANK I.C.E. AND
EVERYBODY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR
THE INCREDIBLE JOB THEY'VE DONE
AND ARE DOING.
MARIA: THIS AS THE DEMOCRATS
ARE STILL CALLING FOR THE
AGENCY'S DISBANDMENT.
THEY WANT TO ABOLISH I.C.E.
THEY'RE MAKING THAT PART OF
THEIR NOVEMBER ELECTION
PLATFORM.
MARIA: WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT
THE PRESIDENT IS DOING TODAY IN
TERMS OF I.C.E. IN AN
WELL.
YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> LISTEN, I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT THE PRESIDENT IS
ACKNOWLEDGING THE I.C.E. AGENTS.
THEY'RE REALLY ON THE FRONT
LINES.
EVERYBODY'S CONCERNED ABOUT
SECURITY IN THE UNITED STATES,
ESPECIALLY AT THE BORDERS.
A LOT OF I.C.E. AGENTS ARE
HISPANIC AGENTS.
IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO PUT A
SPOTLIGHT ON THEM.
SMALL BUSINESS OPTIMISM IS
ALMOST AT A 45 YEAR HIGH.
THAT'S NOT BY ACCIDENT.
TO START AND GROW FOR THE LONG
ADD
ADMINISTRATION AND THEIR
POLICIES.
MARIA: WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MIDTERM
ELECTION.
THERE WAS A THOUGHT WE WOULD
HAVE A BLUE WAVE OF DEMOCRATS.
I THINK NOW RECENTLY THAT'S
CHANGED.
PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT A RED
WAVE OR CERTAINLY THE
REPUBLICANS KEEPING THE
MAJORITY.
PART OF THAT I THINK IS WHAT'S
COMING FROM THE LEFT, LIKE THESE
NERVOUS ABOUT THIS.
THEY FEEL LIKE THEIR PARTY IS
SOMETHING.
IT'S EASY TO BE AGAINST THINGS.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE I.C.E.?
OURSELVES AT THE BORDER?
IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.
I THINK THAT WILL BACKFIRE OF
THEM.
THIS WEEKEND I.C.E. AGENTS IN
CALIFORNIA ARRESTED A MAN THAT
WAS DRIVING HIS PREGNANT WIFE TO
THE HOSPITAL FOR A PLANNED
C-SECTION.
SO THERE WAS A LOT OF OUTRAGE
THAT HE WAS ARRESTED.
WHAT MANY MAINSTREAM OUTLETS
FAILED TO MENTION IS THAT THIS
MAN WAS WANTED ON A MURDER
CHARGEOUT OF
CHARGE UT OF
CHARGE T OF
CHARGE OOF
CHARGE OUT OF MEXICO.
PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S HEADLINE,
I.C.E. ARRESTS MAN DRIVING
PREGNANT WIFE TO HOSPITAL FOR
BIRTH.
LEAVING HER STRANDED IN TEARS.
WITHOUT MENTIONING AT ALL THIS
GUY'S UP FOR MURDER.
>> OOPS, I FORGOT THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING OF THE STORY.
ANY TIME YOU HEAR THESE STORIES,
OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW THE MAJORITY
OF PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE ARE NOT
WANTED FOR MURDER.
BUT THAT IS A VERY IMPORTANT
POINT TO MAKE.
HERE'S THE OTHER PART OF THE
STORY.
MOST HISPANICS WANT IMMIGRATION
REFORM AND DON'T AGREE WITH A
LOT OF POLICIES THAT THEY HAD IN
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE
AFFECTED BY THE BAD THINGS THAT
HAPPEN IN THOSE COMMUNITIES.
SO HOPEFULLY THIS IS A WAKE-UP
CALL FOR BOTH PARTIES.
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS
FOR 30 YEARS AND IF WE CAN DO
BETTER THAN THIS, AND WE NEED TO
FIX IT, THE PRESIDENT CAN'T DO
IT BY HIMSELF.
THE ADMINISTRATION CAN'T DO IT
BY THEMSELVES.
SOME REFORM?
>> NOT BEFORE THE MIDTERM
ELECTION.
IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING.
THEY STOP DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT
BEFORE THE ELECTION.
MARIA: BESIDES FUND RAISING.
DAGEN: THE HOUSE IS IN RECESS,
WHERE ARE THEY?
MONTH-LONG VACATION.
>> AFTER AN ELECTION, THERE'S A
LITTLE BIT OF A HONEYMOON PERIOD
AFTERWARDS.
HOPEFULLY WITH A NEW CONGRESS
THEY'LL BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT.
>> DO YOU THINK THE PLAN WILL BE
WHAT PRESIDENT BUSH PROPOSED,
WHICH IS YOU CAME HERE
ILLEGALLY, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A
THOSE LINES?
>> A LOT OF IT HAS TO BE
NEGOTIATED.
I WAS IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION
WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO GET IT
DONE.
WE HAD CONTROL OF BOTH CHAMBERS
WE COULDN'T GET ANYTHING DONE.
IT'S A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT.
MANY TIMES, SURPRISED PEOPLE
THAT HE'S WILLING TO DO MORE
THAN SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN HIS
OWN PARTY WANT TO DO.
HE'S GOT TO HAVE A WILLING
PARTNER TO DO IT.
DAGEN: THE FAR LEFT OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS PUSHED THE
NARRATIVE ON THIS, ABOLISH
I.C.E., OPEN BORDERS.
SAY IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER
MEDIA OUTLETS, THE TV NETWORKS,
THEY'RE PUSHING A
AGAIN, IT'S ABOUT THE MUELLER,
IT'S RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA,
NONSTOP, AND TO THE AVERAGE
PERSON WHO IS GOING TO WORK IN
THE MORNING, SUPPORTING A
FAMILY, SEEING A HIGHER
PAYCHECK, THE QUALITY OF THEIR
HEALTH CARE IS IMPROVING BECAUSE
OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR, AGAIN,
THAT'S WHAT MATTERS TO PEOPLE.
MARIA: ALL OF THIS DISHONESTY?
IN THE MEDIA IS HURTING THE
EXTREME LEFT AS WELL.
TO DO THIS STORY ABOUT HE WAS
STRIPPED FROM HIS PREGNANT WIFE
AND TOTALLY OMIT THE OTHER
INFORMATION, THAT'S DISHONESTY
AND THAT'S WHY THE PRESIDENT
CALLS IT FAKE NEWS.
>> NO DOUBT IT.
THE OPPONENT.
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
GOING TO DO TO MAKE THEIR LIVES
BETTER.
PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE HATE
EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT
NOW.
ECONOMY'S DOING WELL,
UNEMPLOYMENT IS DOWN, PEOPLE ARE
OPTIMISTIC.
THEY'LL HAVE TO HAVE A BETTER
COUNTER ARGUMENT THAN WHAT
LEFT WING CLICK BAIT AND RETO
THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE
REGURGITATING IT IN THE FORM OF
HATE.
YOU SAW THAT HAPPENING OVER THE
PAST WEEKEND.
MARIA: I'LL CALL THEM OUT FOR
IGNORING ONE OF THE BIGGEST
STORIES IN OUR TIME, WHICH IS
THE ABUSE OF POWER THAT TOOK
PLACE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016 IN
THE FBI AND DOJ.
IT'S COMING OUT NOW.
TO IGNORE THE STORY IN THE
FOCUS ON MULE RERND
FOCUS ON MULE RER AND -- MUELLER
