get to mexico. is it really about escaping fear and persecution from your homeland or is it about getting to the united states? >> reporter: attorney general barr explained in a statement, quote, this rule will decrease shopping by economic migrants and those who seek to exploit the asylum system to obtainen troy the united states while ensuring that no one is removed from the united states who is more likely than not to be tortured or persecuted on account of a protected ground. there are three exceptions to the new bar. immigrants who applied and were denied asylum in another country can still apply. also, victims of, quote, severe form of trafficking of person. many democrats have spoken out against the rule, including presidential candidate, senator kamala harris. she said, quote, the administration's move to restrict asylum for central america is deliberately cruel. america should embrace its moral responsibility to serve as a safe haven for children and

families fleeing violence and persecution. the new bar for asylum will almost certainly be challenged in court. the aclu said it's patently unlawful and they'll sue swiftly. back to you. >> all right, ray, thank you. rob: the man killed in an attack on an i.c.e. jail sent a manifesto to friends one day before the confrontation. in it, he called the washington state detention center, a quote, abomb nation, adding i am antif a a. he was seen here in a 2018 protest, he was armed with an assault rifle and explosives when police arrived on saturday. in that manifesto he claimed immigration roundups triggered him to attack. he was shot dead by police. >> acting cbp commissioner mark morgan says attacks like the one in washington are direct results of an anti-law enforcement sentiments among some members of congress. rob: he says if you don't like

hoosier company, we have 11 employees and to drive across the lawn, south lawn and to be a part of this kind of event was just absolutely astounding, completely took us by surprise. we were notified of this about two weeks ago and as devin said, we were shocked and also really proud to be able to tell the story of our unique manufacturing. rob: you guys make some really cool motorcycles. i've been looking at pictures. let's take a look at some information about what the president is doing with the executive order. he's basically raising the bar for what can be considered an american made product. it was 50% american components. now it's going to be 75% american components. my question to you is, how much of your motorcycles are american made and do you think, devin, a lot of companies exploit the made in america brand? >> the vast majority of our bike

is made in america. hand crafted in america, just actually around our home state of goshen, indiana. i'm not sure how many people exploit it. i know everybody's proud if they make something in america, they're very proud to display what is made in america. rob: do you think a lot of companies out there are making the bare minimum in america and going to china to get the cheap products and stamping made in america on it. >> we don't know enough about it. the made in america label is something that's very valuable to the american consumer, something that we're proud to be able to talk about. 75% is something that's been recommended percentage by the ftc for a couple years but it's never actually been held to. jillian: at a time in our country where a number of people, certainly not everybody, i'll clarify by saying that, but a number of people say they aren't feeling patriotic today. what does it mean to be at the white house, to have a president who believes in the made in

america products and who is showcasing that, pushing it, and making it even better? >> for us, it means that we -- we're a small company. we get to go to washington, d.c., means we get to tell the story of what we're doing. we do appreciate that and i think a lot of companies we would encourage other companies to consider the words of -- his words, that bringing more stuff back domestically is a good thing. it's certainly in our community, the manufacturing rv industry is what we're known for in northeast indiana. it's great for our economy. and it's something that even on the art level, it's all -- it breeds a thriving community. we support that. jillian: bigger picture, what's your message to those in the country about patriotism, about what this means. >> i would say, yes, reinforce what richard is saying, do your best to make it in our country, enforce your local -- engage locally to make more products, bring it back home.

is the best day to book your flight. you're going to get the cheapest ticket there. the reason is because you're seeing a lot of business travelers booking their tickets during the week, so if you can book on a weekend, especially a sunday, you could save at least 20%. the other tip, if you can book on a sunday, at least 21 days in advance of your trip, you might save even more. the other things that expedia says, start your vacation on a thursday or friday. you can save around 10%. and if you fly out on a sunday, that's also a money-saving tip. the last thing, if you can, consider doing that basic economy ticket. i know it might be uncomfortable. a lot of times it's that no frills ticket, with limited room. but it's another cost saving. rob: that's when they nickel and dime you. i don't think you win in the end. jillian: and then you don't know if you get to bring a carry-on. i get so confused. what's new with the huggies diaper boxes. >> for the first time ever, they

thank you for your time. he did a lot in his 38 years here on earth. he was an assistant district attorney. he had a political magazine that he launched. he got his pilot's license. he didn't want to follow in the political foot steps of his father. why? >> yeah, it's interesting. it reminds me of robert todd lincoln, both of their father's were assassinated, there was pressure on them since the time they were young, when are you going to be president of the united states? both of them, it was believed they could have been, if they went into politics, the presidency was there for them. both of them realized and knew if they reached out for it, it would be air. it bodie would disappear oncey made the commitment. his mother never put overt pressure on him. he wanted to be an actor. she said no, no, no.

she was trying to herd him that way. jillian: if he had followed in his political foot steps, what do you think would have happened? >> if you read george, he had a great sense of humor, he was somewhat bipartisan by today's standards. if he had gotten into politics, when he had to commit to issues, a lot of the general sympathy for him would have split two ways in america. it would have been tough for him. i think he sensed that and he knew it. but what a great life and the lesson for me is do what you want to do. lesson for me is do what you you always wanted -- he always wanted to be an actor. he would have been an iconic actor, a great actor. his mother didn't want him to do that. jillian: why do you think she didn't want him to? >> i think it's because she -- even though she didn't publicly put the pressure on him, in her heart she believed he would take back camelot. she wrote him a note before he died, the words were you too

have a place in history. he must have felt that all his life. jillian: let's take a listen to a clip of him speaking at the 1988 democratic convention. >> over a quarter century ago, my father stood before you to accept the nomination for the presidency of the united states. [ cheering and applause ] >> so many of you came into public service because of him. because of you, he is with us still. jillian: kind of gives you chills listening to that and watching it. >> it does. one of the great legacies of his life will be that salute as a little boy. -- know from history that it was planned. but that will be remembered throughout history, the innocence of that moment and the tragedy of that moment. jillian: he was 3 when his father was assassinated. as the world watched him grow

up, what do you see as similarities between the two men? >> well, both were handsome, both were care were charismatic. they both had a dynamic sense of humor. jfk always wanted to be a publisher. that's why jfk junior did it, pulled it off. he could say i fulfilled my father's dream. jillian: thank you for joining us. have a good day. it is seven minutes until the top of the hour. the city of boston in the cross hairs of a flag flap. the legal battle in play after one group claims it will fly any flag except one for christianity. and a massive mystery of the sea revealed. look at that human size jelly fish caught on camera and it is going viral. we'll tell you about it, coming up.
