shannon: democrats in the mainstream media forcing donald trump to defend his executive immigration order which did the family separations at the border republicans want to know what is this really about for the left

>> reporter: the president acts, says we will fix the situation, i will fix the situation with an executive order and instead of saying we may disagree on other policies but thank you for doing it is always something else. >> you to weigh in is tammy bruce, great to have you with us. >> it is fantastic. >> almost a given now that anything donald trump does is not going to be good enough or will be battled together and no exception yesterday. >> no one no exception they are unhappy with the great economy, unhappy with success. in this particular case it hasn't and about the children. this has been an issue through the obama terms and in this case it is an effort to get back to catch and release, one step to the next. the president is implementing the law and what he has done is

change the dynamic, people were concerned about holding children with adults who were incarcerated etc. so the president wants to create an environment separate from that that will take more money and what obama did which is when you create things with executive orders that can change, the president wanted legislation about dreamers as an example. obama set up an executive order that expired. he wents legislation to deal with this as well so there is more of a consistency in the law so it is a false dichotomy that it is either catch and release and let everyone in with chaos or everyone is incarcerated all the time. we can afford to respect our law at the same time keeping the border save and keeping families together. >> let's look at the headlines as we continue to talk about it because i won't go through all these. the new york times, washington post, cnn, very different headlines when the same type

thing was experienced under the obama administration. >> the messages about trump are targeted to his supporters, this is all political, about using children as chips for some kind of political benefit, in their case about catch and release and keeping chaos at the border. >> which is ironic because the left accuses the right of using children as political ponds when they are doing it as well. >> it is projection was what we have got is what everyone understands for the safety of the children, removed from adults, they cannot prove either parents and i moved through the sex trafficking network and physical abuse or if there is an arrest involved but for families where there is an the other scary violent things like just crossing the border those are the kids we went kept with their parents. at the same time, there is a

target against the president have supporters, the president doesn't know what he is doing. i would caution the left the president is no what he is doing and is committed to having the rk, compassionsecurity at the border and security for the country. >> judge jesus you can do this legally because you had 20 days time. go but let's move on to what happened in minnesota. and overwhelming amount of people that were there, this area of minnesota traditionally democrat but didn't look like it last night. >> the numbers of people outside switched the venue to accommodate the people they did have is assigned the president maintains his support, his approval rating is high. the economy is gangbusters and that is what matters and the crowd, a remarkable statement

and a reminder to the left that all these games and the american people notice what is going on but they support the president has been honest with them, made promises that they elected him for a particular reason to accomplish these things, they care about the quality of life for everyone including immigrants coming into this country and children so they have the security and safety required when they into this country. >> you are able to meet with the president, you said hello to him. >> this is what struck me and reassured me a great deal. when i sigh him he is clearly in his element, thrilled with what he is doing, enjoying it, he is comfortable not just a rally but generally and that environment, he is a man for this time and i think for anybody else who might have been facing this onslaught and constant peter fonda stuff and this outrage and file hatred it is meant to wear them down.

let me tell every liberal out there it is not wearing him down, they have a higher commitment to this country he and the first lady and expected this to some degree and they know they have the support of the american people. >> movement on north korea, movement on immigration, movement on the economy. we wil talk to someone from minnesota. >> the president mentioned at the rally last night a lot of this is about distraction. this became an issue when the inspector general report came out that day. we had the hearings in congress, the great news about north korea and the economy, not a coincidence this became a major issue the day the inspector general's report was out. >> lots of stuff to talk about. this is 20 minutes after the top of the hour and from educational program to propaganda machine

why lawmakers are calling for a probe into a climate change initiative using your taxpayer dollars. >> are you african-american? >> i don't understand the question. >> remember her? she has a new identity of the story behind her new name and why she had to answer to a judge.

borders, let everybody come in, we are not going to let it happen. i signed an executive order, we are going to keep families together but the border will be just as tough as it has been. >> what happened next? joining me now is former ice asian and border patrol officer, thank you for joining us, we really appreciate it. sounds like what everybody was asking for, keeping families together at the border but apparently it is not. >> there is a small amount, only 20% of families are coming in with children, the other 80% are unaccompanied minors. to the end of may 30, 2000, unaccompanied minors have crossed the border. shannon: what should happen next? what will happen today? >> we have to bring in the foreign national councils and

set up a remedy in which these children are repatriated back to their home countries as soon as possible, we need to increase the number of immigration judges and trial attorneys to expedite these deportation cases in which people are facing. >> in terms of increasing the number of judges needed, where the money needs to go to make this happen? >> we need to increase the staffing of immigration judges. there are only so many in the united states and we need to increase it and increase asylum officers to review refugee cases coming through ports of entry but our goal is securing the national border in which most of these people are coming across the unsecure border. congress has an obligation to protect this country and it is reprehensible they have advocated the responsibilities county executive branch and told them chuck schumer did, to do what congress was supposed to be doing all along.

everything has been misdirected. >> what congress is supposed to do they wouldn't do so chuck schumer told the executive branch you need to do it in the president does it and it is not good enough but i want to ask tammy bruce this federal judge that has prohibited the government from holding children in detention for p agos longer than 20 days so part of the decree was they were going to go to her and address that matter so this decree could go into effect. what will happen with that? >> i don't think it will go anywhere, the judge will hold aground and keep it at 20 days and families will be put back on the street which is the catch and release program which feinstein's bill endorses so these people will go back on the street, go to sanctuary cities and be lost for good. >> let's talk about dianne

feinstein's bill which every democrat is supporting. and letting criminals out on the street. >> that is what they want. thfree aess for anyone who comes to the border to come to take taxpayer expense. >> they want to make sure they can hold on to this issue is midterms approach. is that happening too? >> absolutely. it is all political, professional politicians come you can't get these rats out of office and people with fresh ideas what to do with our country at the direction we should be following, they abdicate responsibly then put it on the executive branch to do their job, they need to be fired come november. shannon: you know how big the problem is. >> i go through a lot trying to enforce it.
