tv Greta Van Susteren FOX News April 5, 2013 7:00pm-8:00pm PDT
7:00 pm
i have more are. a great group. give yourselves a hand. thank you very much thanks to our guests here. let not your heart be troubled. the news continues. we'll see you soon on fox. >> greta: tonight, strong winter weak spring. this is not your local weather report. this is your economy. >> we are living in a dying country. there is a dismal new report about the state of jobs in america. employers adding only 88,000 jobs in the month of march. that is the fewest number we have seen in nine months. >> definitely not the a good report. >> the number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. >> we have 132 million jobs in this country and a growing population. you outraged got to do better than 88,000 new jobs. >> we are disappointed they are not the better. >> 90 million americans are no longer in the workforce.
7:01 pm
90 million. >> the president is not ever going to be satisfied until everybody looking for a job can get a job. >> we overshot. it is a punch to the gut. >> i'm calling it the dropout nation. >> we see it in a lot of areas with the jobs report. don't want to make too much of any one month but it is not a good sign. >> i think it is official, we have a dying country. >> greta: and the man famous for both hiring and firing, joins us. nice to see you, donald. >> hello, greta. >> greta: the numbers, 88,000 jobs added in the month of march are ghastly. who is causing this? who is standing in the way? what is the problem and what should we do? >> they are are shocking numbers and a lot of people are just absolutely -- they can't even believe it. i was watching this morning some great economists if there is such a thing as a great economist and they could not believe the numbers they are so bad. so rush or somebody was saying dying country and to a certain extent we do have a dying country. our business is being taken
7:02 pm
away by china and others an ane have what we used to have. we lost our mojo as a country. >> greta: we even have austen goolsby calling this a punch to the gut, the numbers today. vice president biden is more optimistic and says the economy is now adding private sector jobs every month. disappoint oing this month but they nonetheless added jobs. he is putting a positive spin on this and nobody else is. everybody else is absolutely freaked with these numbers. >> they have to put a positive spin. they have no choice but you to do that. we real le are a country that is in tremendous trouble. i have people working for me at a lower level saying mr. trump we lost $45 this week. they get paid $350 and $400 a week. they said we didn't know the tax increases would affect us. we heard it was people over $250,000 and people making a
7:03 pm
lot of money. everybody has been very hurt by really if you add it up, it is obama care. >> greta: if you look at the numbers, added 88,000 in the month of march. the unemployment level went down to 7.6. several crimes here, check crimes is we discouraged so many people out of the job market so they aren't even counted hence the number goes done. we put this incredible depressing film over the economic job market. >> well, that is the big fall lacy. people give up looking for a job and they therefore stop and we don't count them in the numbers and we have this report that the numbers went down. the numbers haven't gone down. the real number is probably 17% or 18% if you really look at it. the country is in trouble and we lost our incentives. we don't have the incentive like we used to have. other countries starting at a different level they picked up our old formula.
7:04 pm
we lost the old formula. also you you look at food stamps and the different kinds of welfare programs going on it is unbelievable what is happen together country and we can't afford it as a country and we have to start making things again because if we don't make things again we are just going to fail. >> greta: just think when you talk about unemployment numbers you are talking about the people who really want jobs and it you look at the numbers and break them down, african americans, the unemployment levels of those actually looking for jobs, 13.3%. teenagers from the ages of 16 and 19 the ones who want jobs and are out there hunting, 34%. it says 24% up there but the different number i have is much higher. astounding whether it is 24% or 34% is totally unacceptable. yet there is no bright light ahead. >> well, this is no bright. and you real le said something interesting because the african americans have been decimated by what is going on with the economy and you would have thought it maybe would have
7:05 pm
been the other way around. they have been absolutely decimated and it is very sad. young people coming out of college, young people without education, without the big college education, they are getting just creamed. we have to get going as a country or we are really going to have problems. we he can solve all of our problems f. we can get the economy going. whether social security or medicare or medicaid. the big thing is to get the economy strong and robust and we can take care of things. right now we cannot take care of our people that need it. no matter what you you do, no matter what you say it is just not there. and i said it before, you know, the mojo of this country is gone. >> greta: who is the person who has the job, is it the head of, you know, is it the speaker, is it the house majority, the president, business leaders, who really has sort of his finger on the button that could change all this stuff or is there no single person? >> well, i always say it starts with the top. it starts with the the president and i'm sure he is treeing very hard and wants to
7:06 pm
get everything going the way he wants it to go. this is not good for him. he can't be thrilled by it. but it is leadership at the top. gets the senate and congress generally to get going and pass things they have to do. we have pipelines that aren't getting built. some things that aren't happening. you look at energy. look at what is going on with energy. we could be the energy capital of the world about you can't go out and get the energy because the environmentalists are stopping it. it really starts with the leadership at the presidential level. >> greta: we want to ask you about other big economic news this week. the electric car company fiskar automotive might be declaring bankruptcy. taxpayers could be on the hook for $192 million. and today bloomberg news tweeting fiskar automotive set to fire 80% of staff. donald, that is another idea of the energy department
7:07 pm
lending taxpayer money for an idea that has gone belly up. how much more are can we take of that? >> i think it is terrible that the united states has become an in vetment bankers and virtually everybody they back goes out of business. look at what is going on with the solar panels and solar energy. look at the horrible wind mills. they are destroying areas and neighborhoods and killing all of the birds injuries the wind mills are the worst of all. and we are backing all of this garbage that doesn't work and it is destructive and they are are all going out o of business. we are not investment bankers. every team we make an investment it seems to go bad. >> greta: if i needed heart surgery i wouldn't go to a neurolinguist. i would go to a cardiac surgeon. what i don't get is why the government which has maybe be bureaucrats think that they are investment bankers all of a sudden. i guess it is because they are not playing with their own money. if these were great ideas,
7:08 pm
private capital would run in and snap up you the business. but they aren't. that ought to be a red flag. >> i have got ton know a lot of people in government and government has a lot of great people. this is not their expertise. and frankly even the great investment houses make mistakes but they have to pay a price for it. the government isn't paying a price. we shouldn't be backing a company that comes up with a into con seventh for an electric car. that is for wall street. if it works they benefit greatly and if it doesn't work they lose their shirt and that is the way it is supposed to be. >> we have solyndra. almost no way to stop the government from taking the money and making the investments. we hear about them when they go belly up. when they start sniffing around looking for a bankruptcy firm. that is when we he hear about it. >> i think it is probably the least of our problems. it is-s of billions of dollars and that is a lot o of money. the big culprits are other
7:09 pm
countries and what they are doing for us. brazil gets the olympics. south korea. we are spending we will spend billions and billions of dollars to protect them from north korea. they are not giving us anything. they are competitor of ours. wonderful people. i had partners from south korea. why are we doing this all free? we are not in that position as a country. they should be paying us for this. we send the aircraft carriers and ships and planes and bombers and get nothing out of it except the in all fairness they take most of our business. they he made some unbelievable deals with our government. they are teaing our bess, south korea. why aren't paying for this kind of protection? solyndra is a lot of money. the big money is what other countries are doing to us. >> greta: who do you admire in politics and would be a good person to be a leader probably with the eyes on 2016 in light of where we are in the economy
7:10 pm
and how we are dealing with other countries? who is your favorite of the day? >> well, i don't want to use names because i know everybody and they he have all been up to my office and ask for my support. too early to name names but there are a number of good people, talented people that could do a good job in my opinion. >> greta: but we he have to start looking at names examining people take a close look at them. this isn't a popularity contest. >> you're right. >> greta: who has the production record that you you think you know what that person would do a good job? >> it actually turned out to be a popularity contest. when you say it isn't, it turned out. people liked the president and met was a wonderful man but didn't resonate with the voters and he lost fairly convincingly. turned out to be a popularity contest. i think there are good talented people. you are asking me a question. we just had an election. it is a little too soon. just something that we can't be thinking of right now. there is probably somebody that nobody is thinking of will end
7:11 pm
up getting the nomination and maybe on both sides. we need leadership in this country because we are truly going awry. >> greta: wwe, big night tomorrow night. what is going on there, do you know? >> well, i was informed a couple of months ago that the world wrestling, it is a great group, vince mcmahon heads it and they are putting me into the hall of fame. i held two different wrestlemannias. we have the all time record battle of the billionaires, vince and myself. we wrestled in a sense through different guys and he lost and we shaved his head and to this day the highest rated wrestling program ever and the highest pay per view ever and it was great. they are putting me into the wwe hall of fame and that is a great honor. going to be at madison square garden tomorrow night at 8:00. that will be fun. vince is a great guy. >> congratulations. thank you,al.
7:12 pm
>> donald. >> greta: dana perino tweeting i feel a pivot to jobs coming. what does she mean by that? dana, what do you mean by the pivot to jobs? >> if you look at the last four years that president obama has been in office you can track almost every three months the administration announces that they are going to pivot back to jobs. because they got focused on something else like on healthcare. that was the big one remember in august of 2010 he said they were going to pivot back to jobs. today when the job numbers came out this morning i thought after spending a lot of time on the gun control debate and on immigration that i would bet you that because these job numbers surprised everyone including the people in the white house that you will probably see some sort of pivoting communications effort to jobs pretty soon. >> greta: just the fact that it surprised everybody i think is a really bad seen. it shows that we really don't have a grip on it and the only
7:13 pm
way we know what is going on is when we wake up in the part of the next month and find out what happened. the fact that we have to pivot. we had a brutal job weak for a number of years even going -- job situation for a number of years even going back before this president's administration. the fact that we have to pivot. and thirdly we wouldn't have have the healthcare problems if people had jobs and could afford insurance. all this goes back to jobs and it is like who's on first with it. >> after every recession -- after every recession you do have a natural recovery but this recovery has been the slowest one. the american economy has been stuck in first greer for the last three years cash there is a reason for that as well. it is not rocket science. we know from employers especially small business owners they are unsure of what is going to happen to the business when it comes to obamacare. the implementation phase of obama care was going to be the toughest part as it is formy big government program but you every single day it is one step
7:14 pm
forward and about 12 steps back. they are not sure what they are doing. the businesses are worried. if you are a business that you thought maybe we could grow to 60 employees from the 49 we have now you are not going to do it because the penalty kicks in and even consumers are concerned about what we are going to do. donald trillion p ha trump hadt he want to pick up on. the answer to all of this is growth. economic growth. on the energy piece if we could get our congress and president to focus on giving certainty to businesses so that they could innovate we could look at a longer range good jobs number. even if they he can point to net positive job numbers and vice president biden goes out and puts a nice spin on ition i feel just in my gut the underlying anxiety about the economy is going to be something this white house wishes they spent a little more time on before getting to this point because it makes everything much harder to get done such as the gun control issue you. >> greta: vice president puts a
7:15 pm
good spin on 88,000 jobs. everyone predicted 200,000. he can put a good spin ton but there is no way -- i once had a judge tell me when i had a lousy legal argument i was trying to make a silk percent of a sout sow's ear. that is what the president is doing. when the president suggested the stimulus i didn't think it was the right way to go but i hoped it would be the right way. i wanted something needed to jump start the economy. we are now five years done the road. we are not in a remarkably better position. time that we think about how we do business. how we handle bess. how we do job growth. the same old same old isn't going to work. we had five years of this problem. i think we he somehow have to get into the minds of our leaders. you know, try something different. take a look. this isn't working. >> i also -- i hurt for the people who have just given up looking for a job and if you
7:16 pm
look at the jobs numbers over the past several quarters you see that people just decide this isn't for me any more and decide to take early retirement, burn through savings. if they are older they are not able to find a job. the younger people as you pointed out, greta, are having a hard time finding a job. you have people in their 30s and 40s basically treeing to to -- trying to fuel an economy where we need everybody pitching in and there is a technological change that is happening as well that we are not well positioned for. on the subject of trade. i hear donald trump's point about other countries taking from us. i think if we increased some of our efforts on free trade we would be better off in the long run. now, i'm worried about the short and medium and long run because everything felt dismal today. >> imagine the fact so many people's lives the attitude no you is i give up and i totally understand it. i give up. can you imagine that when it should be he let's see if we can't do this this. let's win the war on poverty and get more jobs and people
7:17 pm
have a huge sense of enthusiasm. people have been beaten down to much. it is unfair not americans who have given up and the americans who wind up paying for the americans who quite understandably have given up. do you agree? >> i agree with you and politically the jobs number today that settles into everyone's mind and their psychology it is going to make the immigration bill extremely difficult to get done because what they are talking about what some people are going hear is that we are going to bring more workers here to compete against our jobs. i'm not saying that is a good way to look at things but i do understand the psychology of a lot of people out there and that is going to make the legislative effort on gun control and immigration very, very difficult. but it might push them on energy that they could get something done. i hope he so. >> greta: dana, thank you. >> good night. >> greta: straight ahead, members of congress did not do their jobs and now federal workers are losing their jobs. what is congress going to do
7:18 pm
about it and will it be too little too late? more heads rolling in the rutgers basketball scandal. you have seen the shocking video. now, he is not the only one without a job. the latest coming up. >> greta: plus, you you have seen it happen to president obama and vice president biden. the embarrassing hot mike moments. you you won't believe who it has happened to now and what this politician said. stay tuned to find out. what's droid-recognition ? understanding you clearly... what is the capital of zimbabwe ? ... the first time you ask with the google voice search. the droid razr maxx hd by motorola. droid recognition. droid powerful. but i wondered what a customer thought? describe the first me you met. you brought the flex in... as soon as i met fiona and i was describing the problem we were having with our rear brakes, she immediately triaged the situation, knew exactly what was wrong with it, the car was diagnosed properly, it was fixed correctly i have confidence knowing that if i take to ford it's going to be done correctly with the right parts and the right people. get a free brake inspection and
7:19 pm
brake pads installed for just 49.95 after rebates when you use the ford service credit card. did you tell him to say all of that? no, he's right though... to take a centrum silver multivitamin every day. i told him, sure. can't hurt, right? then i heard this news about a multivitamin study looking at long-term health benefits for men over 50. the one they used in that study... centrum silver. that's what i take. my doctor! he knows his stuff. [ male announcer ] centrum. the most recommended. most preferred. most studied. centrum, always your most complete. the act of soaring across an ocean in a three-hundred-ton rocket doesn't raise as much as an eyebrow for these veterans of the sky. however, seeing this little beauty over international waters is enough to bring a traveler to tears. we're putting the wonder back into air travel,
7:20 pm
7:22 pm
>> greta: more than a month after the sequester took effect some members of congress pledging to give back portions of their salaries like senator lindsey graham. he tweets we should lead by example. i'm cutting my pay for 20% to empathize with those furloughed due to the sequestration. >> greta: you voted against the sequester. >> i did vote against it was stupid then and it is stupid now the across the board cuts but you it is what we are living with. >> greta: you are making a cut, you andor you staff? >> the choices were really simple. we had an 11% cut in january already and then 8.2% cut in march with the sequester.
7:23 pm
and the choices were either lay off people, you impose a furlough or all of us just take an across-the-board cut. >> greta: what are we going to do about the sequester? >> well, it is the law. i mean with the continuing resolution as it passed these cuts are going to remain in place. i just think, you know, when you do budgeting if you were in your home budget people like to compare our budget to our home budget and your kids have to go to college you don't cut college in the same way that you cut going to the movies but in fact that is exactly what we have done with the sequester. >> greta: it is very painful because the reason we have sequester is because back in august 2011 you voted against it i will emphasize that again is that the idea was what the supercommittee would solve the problem and if they didn't we would go to sequester. they met and couldn't come up with a budget and then they disbanded. nobody comes up with neglect. all the way around to the fall. everybody takes august off. and then go into the campaign
7:24 pm
season and we are paying salaries of politicians to campaign for their jobs and roll around to now and the american people get stuck with the sequester. >> it isn't just the american people stuck with the sequester. i mean you know the fact is that what we do here in this country obviously has an impact on the world. has an impact on world markets as well. just at a time when we were starting to see positive economic growth the sequester takes effect and so he mean there are long-range impacts here and i just think i look at a district like mine. i have a lot of federal workers in my district and they work really, really hard and for them it means in some cases two household incomes or a contractor in the private sector their household their budget is impacted as well. >> greta: i was interested to see what federal contractors furloughed so far. they are federal defenders. the constitution says you you have a right to a legislature.
7:25 pm
so we go and furlough the people that the constitution mandates. not even a congressional law that the president signed but the constitution and then if we don't have the lawyers the people who get arrested have a right to a lawyer and a right to bail. now, they can't get a bail hearing and the law says they have to get a bail hearing. what do we do? let he them out. all these sort of ste pud stups that we do. >> i was talking to federal judges who know the defendants have constitutional rights. you know, this is not going to be a lot of choices here. i just think that in congress we have to get back to the table that republicans and democrats you know i'm going to get some of what i want and somebody else is going to get some of what they want but we he have got to come to a deal. >> greta: can you you call the president. it is our president but your party. can you you say look you are the leader we have got to do something? it has got to start at the top. maybe the republicans are difficult to deal with for whatever but you that is like
7:26 pm
we have always had that problem where opposing parties are at each other's throats but the leader is supposed to somehow fix it. can you call him up and tell him to help he out on the sequester thing? it is a law now but we can change laws. >> i don't know if the president himself can change it. the president is preparing to put out a budget which i think will be a statement of trying to figure out a resolution to this. >> greta: why is it so late? >> doesn't really matter. does it really matter? >> greta: it as sign. every president is late on the first one. said the end of march and then the end of april. the house got the budget in and the democrats and senate got the budget in. he hasn't gotten his. a little bit of attitude like where is your budget. >> it is coming and it will be here next week and we will deal with that and we have an obligation to do with that. i know that the president proposed some things that i'm not really happy about. for the people in my congressional district i know that we have to come up with something that is smart that lays the groundwork for greater investment where are we need to make investment and make sure
7:27 pm
that taxes are paid fairly. and that makes certain that we can start getting people back to work again. >> greta: i'm inclined to lock people in one room. >> i don't want to be in the room, greta. knock yourself out. >> greta: locked in the room with everybody until you come up with an idea. nice to see you. now, to the hot about the ton issue. what do you think about lawmakers giving part of their salary back to the treasury? vote in our poll. and coming up, do you ever wonder what animals really think? well, like it or o not, you are paying more than $2 million to find out. how can that be? rick klein is here to tell you about that next. also talkinalso it happened to two presidents. now, another politician is no hot water after calling someone an old hag. who said that and about whom? fend out, coming up.

7:31 pm
let me begin by saying this was a failure of process. i regret that i did not ask to see the video when tim first told me of its existences because i am certain this situation would have had a different outcome had i done so. >> the hits keep coming in the rutgers basketball scandal. first university fired coach mike rice after videos of him behe rating players surfaced and now tim is out as the athletic direct heor.
7:32 pm
sports caster jim grey joins us. think this is going to go farther up the totem pole? going to see the president resign or not or should he. in. >> i don't think the president will resign. he said today he is not resigning and then the head of the board got up there, mr. izzo and said no, he doesn't think he should resign. and then the president barchi said something interesting. he said i have no contract, no term. i think about reseein resigniny day. but he is no the going to reseen. >> greta: is this behavior of coach unusual? >> it is very unusual. this doesn't go on and particularly if it goes on maybe it is a one time thing. it doesn't go on and become the norm. he is way out of bounds. i was thinking of dean smith, coach k currently. go back to john wooden.
7:33 pm
chuck daley, phil jackson. they would never motivate and try to inspire people by doing this. >> greta: how about bobby knight? >> well, he did it in the past. the difference is, is that, first of all, it was a bit of a different day and age. second of all, that is not to dismiss it because he was abusive at that time. and a he paid the penalty for it. but also bobby knight won and won regularly. rice's record was 44-51. he was 16-38 in the the conference. >> greta: do you get immunity if you have a winning record for that kind of bullying behavior? >> no, i don't think so. i don't think you you get immunity at all and i don't think bobby knight got immunity. he was the poster child up until now and now replaced by mike rice. this cannot be tolerated. they are there and put in place to motivate guys, to get them to be better. to be looked up to and admired. but you know, this is a failure in all of our beg
7:34 pm
institutions. look at what goes on in the churches with the priests. what goes on with the coaches, jerry sandusky. in the schools with the teachers fixing grades and tears apart the fabric of our society and it it is difficult to repair that. >> greta: how you come we are just hearing about this? i would expect every player that played for this coach would know this. this doesn't seem like the kind of behavior that happened in a short period of time. must be sort of the talk of this coach. >> i think there is intimidation and they want to stay in school and keep their scholarships and keep playing. you often hear of a lot of kids who are abused by their parents. they still love their parents. i don't think that any of the players loved this guy but i think that sometimes when people are are abused it has been proven psychologists say it they feel it is their fault. so when they feel it is their fault they turn inward and don't express it outwardly.
7:35 pm
>> greta: do you have any how he beehived between the time he was fined and suspended was he exhibiting that behavior or reformed and reha bill tateded himself after the fine or suspension? >> we haven't seen any of the tape. that is what they originally wanted to do. he wanted to have h him rehabbed. it should not have been on the player time. after the review he said with the the lawyers and university officials university policy would not justify dismissal. well, if this doesn't justify dismissal, kicking players, pushing them, throwing basketballs at them,. >> greta: what will. >> i think we can resolve the nation's unemployment problem. everyone should work for rutgers university because if you can't get dismissed for that and that is not the policy what rises to it.
7:36 pm
>> greta: jim, thank you. >> greta, thank you. >> greta: now, less ton this one. wild minds. what animals really think. that is the name of a researched it did study costinu $2.1 million. or research titled what were politicians thinking when they spent your months of private sector any on a project to find out what animals think. yesterday, president obama said we still waste time on all kinds of things that don't work. rick klein joins us. any answer to that? >> my dog, i would like to know what is on h his mind. the president is right and part of the problem is that no one has been able to take a comprehensive look at the various tentacles of the federal government. everything that we are doing and go lineally line and say this makes sense and this doesn't make sense. we talk about reining things in and the sequester and automatic budget cuts. and the inertia and lack of
7:37 pm
knowledge at the top levels about how this money gets filtered down. >> greta: i love animals and i do want to know what they think but it shouldn't be on the taxpayers back. get some private money. somebody that signs off on these. one we paid for this elvis presley cruise or something. i foregot, that was one of my favorite ones. an elvis presley cruise an elvis music boat $300,000. wouldn't you think someone in the government would think maybe we shouldn't do that one. >> by the time it gets down to the the level of awarding the grant the money is there and the momentum takes over. no i incentive for any one thinking let's rein thisreta: s job on doing oversight of people who should be doing their jobs and using good judgment we wouldn't have this problem but they never do the
7:38 pm
oversight until after the fact. >> and everything ends up you having a constituency. and you talk to people throughout the government on this and what would have made sense with the automatic budget cuts would be able to say give someone the authority to find wasteful spending first before you go' cross the board and say everyone ising to get sliced and furloughed and cut vital services. the president said if you told us where are to cut we could find some stuff in there. that is not the way it is designed. >> greta: can't the republicans and democrats say we will live with it but we want to make a decision where to cut? >> the reason why not is politics. it was supposed to be a terrible solution that would never happen and force them to come to the table and compromise. they couldn't get that done. now, it it is actually he happening and there isn't an incentive for the two parties to come together and do it. they are just sort of living with it and living with the consequences. >> greta: it all happened because they didn't do their job in the first place. why did they think it would never happen? for it not to happen they would have to do their job later on
7:39 pm
down the road. they don't have a history of doing their jobs. even furloughing government employees you have to give them 30 days notice. they haven't given them 30 days notice because they never thought sequester would go into effect. >> there was a hope that somehow the inspired minds of cock woul -- inspire that the inspired minds of congress would come together. the first furloughs just happening. april the month where it happens. you remember the white house with the warning of what the white house would look like. services will begin to be impacted. they will roll out across april and we will have to see how the public reacts. >> greta: stay tuned. >> we have to be animal -- we have talk to the animals. >> greta: they probably do a better job than all of us. coming up, congressman jason chaffetz back from the mexican border. what he saw you there. and from the what were they

love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. >> greta: republican congressman jason chaffetz back from a tour of the mexican border. what does he think is the worst thing he saw at the border? congressman chaffetz joins us. what did you see? >> there are thousands of good men and women down there trying to go the right thing in a very difficult situation but that border is still very porous. we don't have exposure. we can't visibly see what is going on on the entire border and then you have parts of the border with you you you have the big for instance 18-foot fence that becomes virtually little fence and then no fence. you don't have to go very far out-of-town to find easy, easy access across the border. and then you just see thousands of people coming across the border and taking advantage of the system. >> greta: what are they taking
7:45 pm
advantage of in terms of the system? >> one of the things i saw were these little kids. i was down at the elementary school at 2:15. elementary aged kids. you watch them two blocks to the border. no adult in sight. no adult super vision. i watched them literally walk across the border as the cvb mexico.old me home to mexican every day these kids wake up in mexico and go to school in the united states and just walk over. cross an international border as if it is nothing. no checks. no epipeano paper work. no looking at the back packs. no adults. that is one example of taking advantage of u.s. taxpayer dollars and there are thousands of these things happening across the border. unbelievable. >> greta: that is tough. who wants to hurt a little child but you if a mexican national is attending a school
7:46 pm
paid for by american taxpayers that is, you know, that is something that is very troubling. i mean but i mean these little kids have nothing to do with it. it is obviously the parents but how can you ask the taxpayers in the community to pay for that? >> they couldn't get on a ride at disneyland they are that small. what happens if something happens to them at school. they cross an international border as if it is absolutely nothing and then you see the amount of drug seizures and look at the that fairous activity. one of the other things that was startling to me, greta. i went to the detention facility that i.c.e. runs in arizona. 1500 inmates. 900 were what they call otm or other than mexicans. let's not pretend this is just a problem with mexico and you have people just trying to get their kids to go to school. 900 of the 1500 detained are other than mexicans. when i was there they detained
7:47 pm
nine romanians. i went into the detention facility and there was a group of chinese nationals there. they are using this porous border to pour into the united states. >> greta: is that a regional facility? >> yes. >> greta: meaning that they pick up people coming' cross that particular border. not a like they are taking people coming from the canadian border and just housing them there. these are nationals coming across the u.s./mexican border? >> well, they were probably detained by an i.c.e. officer and could be in a variety of different areas. if you are a mexican and you come across the border and you you get caught there illegally you will be back across the border probably within the hour. if you are from another country they will detain you and go to the system. for instance in the case of the romannians they are not going to run. they will get a court date and be in the country for months legally while they go through

you know it even after all these years. but your erectile dysfunction - you know,that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needingo go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or if you have any allergic reactions such as rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away.

ask your doctor about cialis for daily e and a 30-tablet free trial. and every day since, two years ago, the people of bp made a commitment to the gulf. we've worked hard to keep it. bp has paid over twenty-three billion dollars to help people and businesses who were affected, and to cover cleanup costs. today, the beaches and gulf are open for everyone to enjoy -- and many areas are reporting their best tourism seasons in years. we've shared what we've learned with governments and across the industry so we can all produce energy more safely. i want you to know, there's another commitment bp takes just as seriously: our commitment to america. bp supports nearly two-hundred-fifty thousand jobs in communities across the country. we hired three thousand people just last year. bp invests more in america than in any other country. in fact, over the last five years, no other energy company has invested more in the us than bp. we're working to fuel america for generations to come.
