ainsley? ainsley: all right. thank you so much. why aren't they firing no talent samantha bee for the horrible language she used on her low ratings show? a total double standard but that's okay. we are winning and we will be doing so for a long time to come. our next guest agrees. she thinks that samantha bee should be fired. the daily wire's amanda, thank you for being with us. >> thanks for having me. ainsley: what's your reaction to his tweet and why should she be fired. >> that's appropriate to tweet that out. we just saw roseanne earlier in the week who was canned within hours for a comment she posted on twitter. her whole cast are out of jobs because of a reprehensible tweet that no one is defending. then we have samantha bee who uses the most nasty sexist term you could possibly use against a woman. she is supposed to be a feminist. and also says some nasty incest innuendo about president donald trump. nothing happened. she apologizes. it's not a sincere apology as we can see. she didn't apologize until sponsors starting fle

ainsley: i see.ent from the school and the school says the professor, amy wax, has not been sanctioned in any way because you write in the op-ed that she lost freshman class because of it they say that's not true. this was a curricular decision they said. the professor's status, tenure and seniority on the faculty remain the same. she is full load of courses next year. what's your response. >> it's a falsehood. there is no experience in decades, ever. the teacher being deprived of teaching privileges because students would, perhaps, feel uncomfortable in that professor's class. it's just not true. all right. this was not an accommodation to scheduling. this was done specifically because the university said the law school said that first year students did not have a choice in taking civil procedure and consequently, they didn't want them to feel uncomfortable in the classroom. okay. well, you know, i don't want anybody to feel uncomfortable for any reason if possible. but we live in a world that is co

ainsley: sean? >> it's reprehensible. the idea that you are comparing the president of the united states to a terrorist that inflicted death to our country, is reprehensible. i think what the biggest problem is in the 10th congressional district in virginia. have you 12 people trying to defeat barbara comstock. she is a tough fighter worked hard for the commonwealth of virginia and the people there. they are trying to figure out how to win this primary by going so far to the left. if you watch the commercials

ainsley: let's bring kelly an conway, will we see a summit? >> possibly, ambassador bolton is there to discuss the u.s.-russia relations but also to prepare for perspective summit between the two leaders. everything that you've said is important to put in the context of all of the other action it is president has not been afraid to take. there's been sanctions. we have expelled russians from this country, russian officials from the country, obviously not once but twice. the president has taken swift action from assad and syria and the president made clear when he sat down with putin last year, that if there are issues the two countries can work on together, he's willing to entertain working together on those issues. you saw him in singapore. i know the media don't want to cover historic summit two weeks anymore, the success of the summit. a president who again and again is willing to go where other presidents refused to go and make good on the promise of peace, in this case denuclearization of the korean peninsula and many issues that perhaps

it is -- it's not just what they are saying, ainsley, it's the way their voice, the way they are saying it the hatred in their voice. it's really kind of stare. i have been in politics for 10 years, i got my start in the tea party movement. i'm used to be calling names. i have thick skin. i let it roll off my back but this has been taken to a whole another level. people need to calm down. i have a family. and when my daughter heard

also joining me from washington, julia ainsley, nbc's national security and justice reporter. jacob, you are down there. you've seen it. give us a fact check on the president. >> reporter: it's not true, katy. it's not true that this is a democrat policy. it is not true that this is unusual to -- not unusual, rather, as the attorney general said. and it is not true that this is anybody else's responsibility other than the president of the united states. this is a policy that was put into place by the white house. it is the policy that has made what's going on in the building behind me, the epicenter of family separation in the united states possible. over 1,100 children since april have been separated from their parents in this building and throughout this sector here, the rio grande valley sector of the border patrol. yesterday we went in there for the first time since this policy was announced. journalists were allowed in. as you said, cameras were not allowed in. everything we were told wasn't going on in there is going on. there are children sleeping in cages alongside oth

nbc muse white house correspondent kristen welker and national security and justice reporter julia ainsley. kristen let's start with you. we were expected the president to have already signed this executive order. it seems as though that hasn't happened yet. i'm interested to know the latest there. also what does your reporting say about what the tipping point was for this president? >> in terms of what is happening here at the white house, moments ago the group of reporters referred to as the pool was just called back. presumably, president trump is going to be signing that executive order within the next several moments, if not within the next half hour. so we will of course bring that as soon as it happens. we'll have that reporting, and hopefully those images momentarily. so that is just breaking here as we come on the air n. terms of what the tipping point was, we are trying to drill down on the exact tipping point. but let's look at the past 24 hours. lawmakers have been increasingly criticizing this president this policy saying it has to end saying these family separations have to e

and julia ainsley covers dhs, covers hhs, covers the doj. julia, i want to play for you first what the president said a little bit earlier today when he was talking to that small business council, how he was characterizing what's happening at the border. >> they come up through mexico. mexico does nothing for us. you hear it here. they do nothing for us. they could stop it. they have very, very strong laws. try staying in mexico for a couple of days, see how long that lasts. okay? those who apply for asylum legally at ports of entry are not prosecuted. the fake news media back there doesn't talk about that. they're fake. they are helping -- they are helping these smugglers and these traffickers like nobody would believe. >> notice the clapping? notice the cheering? now listen to this. the kids inside those detention facilities. >> okay, julia. the president ran on this. they have been talking about implementing this for a little while, according to the reporting and then finally, they pulled the trigger. you look at john kelly talking to cnn

according to julian ainsley, there are currently 335,000 beds funded under i.c.e. for family detention where women and their children could now be held presuming that the parent court hearing happens according to plan. at that rate, though, assuming that all stays the same, those 333a beds are empty, they are likely to run out of space at the current rate in eight days. eight days. barbara mcquaid. thank you for joining us and for sticking arnold. we appreciate it. >>> chris mentioned a moment ago there are airlines -- american airlines refusing to take migrant children from the border to other parts of this country where there are detention centers that can hold them. dhs has sounded. it's unfortunate that american air, united and fly frontier no longer want to help. despite being provided facts on the issue these airlines clearly do not understand our immigration laws and long standing devastating loopholes that caused the crisis in our southern border, buckling to a false media narrative only exacerbates the problems at our border and puts more children at risk

that's ainsley earhardt and brian kilmeade. >> howdy. >> hello.e want to say a big hello to all of our fans out there, whether you're fixing your breakfast, or getting dressed

with me, julia ainsley, national security reporter. nbc's jacob soboroff who toured one of those detention centers earlier this week. julia, news coming in just now that so far the government has separate 2d,000 kids from their parents? >> yes. that's right. 2,000. that's just in six weeks, going back to just before this zero tolerance policy started. that's when they started to take anybody coming over the border illegally -- that means not turning themself in at a port of entry -- and taking them away from prosecution and separating them from their children. to put that in context, if we look at the past six months from october to may before that, there were just over 1,000 separations over six months. now we're seeing double that in six weeks. and even that six months was higher than you would have seen under the obama administration. so this is clearly part of their plan to try to keep family units from crossing the border together. as we know, that was a population that was becoming more increased in their numbers because they wer

and nbc's julia ainsley is one of the reporters who broke this story. garrett, what do you expect out of the hearing? >> well, katy, these preliminary hearings are generally a pretty quick affair. we may get a plea, we may find out something about conditions of release and we may potentially find out what more the government has up its sleeve other than what was released in the indictment released last night. what's gotten a lot of play on this, including from the president, is that somehow this was a leak of classified information. but the reality in the indictment, the language here is that wolfe is charged with lying to the fbi about his contact with reporters, not actually with leaking classified information. so we have yet to see if that loop can be closed there and if indeed there is classified information that showed up in these reports so that the government is aware of wolfe leaking. we could potentially find out some of that today, but likely not. >> julia, how does this tie in to the news that a "new york times" reporter's phone calls and her

nbc news national security and justice reporter, julia ainsley. julia, help us nd the new asylum laws. nobody fleeing domestic abuse. nobody fleeing gang violence. that accounts for a solid portion of those who are coming over our southern border. >> that's right, katy. gadi's absolutely right that this was a common claim that we started to hear in people fleeing mainly from honduras, guatemala and el salvador, came across a southern border saying that they were scared for their lives. that meant that they passed what's called a credible fear interview, then they could be heard in an immigration court to make that case to a judge. now if you take that piece out, it means that you don't count women who are victims of domestic abuse, and that can also mean that they are vicms of gang violence, as well. a lot of cases, the two are ich interconnected. you could have someone who was fomeone in gang, they've been threatened, beaten, and maybe also forced to hand their children over if they don't pay up. this is a lot of times they are interconnected. an

. >> julia ainsley, you covered the department of justice. you cover homeland security. give us a sense of where secretary nielsen was telling the truth and where she was not. >> so first i thought it was pretty incredible they doubled down on talking points here. i was talking to some people today kwhowho were in these mees at dhs, see everything around them, know the stories, see the implosion, and instead of having sympathy for the situation, they or doubling down and seem to think if they can just explain to people what's going on, we might have a more sympathetic view of their side. but i did start tweeting out some false claims as i heard them. one is that parents are allowed to call their children. we know from our reporting on the ground that is very rare if it ever happens. two is that parents can claim custody of their children after they've been released themselves. that is very hard to do because a lot of these parents are being deported or they're released and they're still undocumented in this country. they don't want to come forward and claim children if t

i want to bring in julia ainsley. julia has been covering this story for some time now as well. again, for those of you who might just be joining us on tv or the radio, president trump announcing last hour that he is going to in a very short period of time apparently be signing this executive order that would end family separations here along the texas border. it would not end, according to our justice correspondent pete williams, it would not end his zero tolerance policy, but it would then practice that we've been seeing play out over the last few months that's led to more than 2,300 children being parated from their parents. julia, what more do we know about how this process is going to work? >> so, again, craig, we are going to have agencies caught by surprise. those high figures that you posted a bit ago about how expensive the tent cities were for the children, we heard 775 a night, that's because they have to be built very quickly. the government has very little bargaining power get to cheapest amount and they will be in that same position with this new policy i building

our colleague julie ainsley said he was having late night phone calls with friends and was resigned to the fact he might be fired. here i stand. this is recorded further evidence. the fact folks are willing to disclose this. it's not surprising. i remember talking to pete williams how rosenstein's appointment of mueller was in a sense his way of trying it get some of his reputation back after being so badly used in the comey firing. and now we're seeing sort of the details of that. but it's absolutely clear a that he is at the end of his rope and yesterday's hearing was just the latest kpamt luis palomino of that. >> and, ken dilanian, let me get you to switch topics for us. i know you have some thoughts on the sen 10%ing of the delay of mike flynn who pleaded guilty and is a cooperating witness. he's on team america now. >> right. we have to be careful about reading too much into this. as frank well knows. but the fact that they are continuing to delay mike flynn's sentence, mike flynn is cooperating with robert mueller's investigation suggests that he still has a lot more to give the

julia ainsley, justice reporter for nbc news covering doj and dhs. nbc's cal perry is near one of the tent cities in tornillo, texas. natalie jordan. andy carney, white house reporter for politico. kelly, first to you. why did the first lady suddenly decide to make this trip? >> well, as you understand, it takes a few days to set like this up. it is in some ways a position of good cop/bad cop in the trump family. mrs. trump rortedly had been disturbed by the images of separated children, pressuring her husband to take action. tweeted publicly which is the first time she had taken a position on a policy issue outside of her own limited portfolio and is putting herself in a much more limited position than we have seen her really during the life of this presidency. notwithstanding her illness where she took some down time. also being very careful to not directly contradict the president's policy on this but to offer interest, pore, asking questions and her physical presence being there draws attention to it and she may be able to do some good there, not

ainsley: rich edson is live where secretary mike pompeo just spoke. what is the latest there, rich?cretary of state updating us on exactly what the president and the secretary have been doing today. more conversations between american and north korean officials to try to work through some of these differences. the secretary of state says he expects tomorrow to really be a first step, that

joining me now is peter alexander, justice reporter julia ainsley and peter, i'm desperate to know this. what exactly does this do for families who are already separated? those kids and their mamas they don't have the bracelets on that your wife and i had on when we were the hospital to make sure we didn'teave the building without one another. >> yeah. many of the young children are not in positions to advocate for themselves. remember, som o them are under the age of 4 years old right now. so the administration rolled out this policy, now the tough task is trying to roll it back as it were. to try to fix this diaspora of the young, undocumented immigrants all over the country right now as you indicated we have heard from the dhhs department effectively they haven't received any guidance on this matter yet. it is unclear how soon, certainly not immediately that these families will be reunited. they're obviously unique circumstances that make this an even more complicated process than it already was at face value. let me put up on your screen the executive order from the president yester

let's bring in julia ainsley and phillip rucker. phillip, i'll start with you. i believe i saw you today in that briefing with kirstjen nielsen. the white house is saying we didn't do this and here's why we're doing this, sometimes in the same sentence. >> yeah and it's just not true that they didn't do this. this is a decision by the white house to implement this policy of enforcing the law of having border agents down in texas and elsewhere separating families, detaining children and what amount frankly to metal cages and this is a decision that they've been implementing for several weeks now and the president has the authority and the power as president to stop it if he chooses. >> julia, you've been reporting on this for a while. you also reported on the internal deliberations and the fact that this was something people talked about, memos were written about and they debated what a moral monstrosity this would be. >> the factors at play here under the trump administration are the same factors that were at play under the obama administration when they saw tha

we are joined by phone by justice reporter julia ainsley, breaking the story about the 31 year stafferbi. what do you know at this point? we know the name of the staffer is james wolfe, senate intelligence committee, he was in charge of maintaining the security and secrecy of documents on the committee. he's charged now with lying repeatedly to fbi agents in december of 2017 about repeated contacts with three reporters, including through his use of encrypted messaging applications? >> reporter: that's right, lawrence. we also know he's being charged with improperly handling sensitive committee materials. they say this represents a major breach. obviously, though, there are political undertones to all of this. it's a matter of where he is leaking this information and i don't think it can be taken totally in a vacuum considering that tonight the "new york times" is reporting that one of its own reporters had her telephone and electronic communication seized by the justice. we understand that's ally watkins, she's someone who cover the same beat i do. we know they cover the robert mueller

with me to talk about it from washington, julia ainsley. the nation turns its lonely eyes to you. give us a viewer's guide of what we should try to expect tomorrow? >> i think what you can expect is a preview that the president just gave us, that tweet. there's going to be a lot of political football through this. democrats might look at this and say look, the actions of james comey really affected hillary clon ton's chances in the 2016 election. and then the president is going to be looking ott this trying to find evidence that there is a deep state, that the fbi and the justice department are out to get him and that they have political bias that is one of the reasons why hillary clinton was never charged for how she handled those e-mails. it seems he's already setting it up so he can actually attack this report and the inspector general himself, michael horowitz, who really has maintained a reputation as a shrewd investigator, regardless of who he's investigating. trump wants to go ahead and set it up so he can attack horowitz if he doesn't agree with what's in this report. but

joining us now julia ainsley of nbc news and back with us is matt miller. on that nbc news story that revealed that the fbi told donald trump that russians would try to infiltrate his campaign. >> that's right, lawrence. covering this is like drinking out of a fire hose sometimes. we had a reemergence of this story. a lot of people have been picking it up on social media and talking about it because it's direct evidence to the contrary of what you just showed that giuliani is saying, the president said, what rush limbaugh is saying that the fbi should have gone and told the president. we know that in the summer of 2016 after he had become the republican nominee he was briefed and warned by counterintelligence officials at the fbi. they told him he should be on the lookout for anyone from russia trying to infiltrate his campaign, as well as other countries. and they made this specifically to him. this was supposed to be a broad threat assessment, but they wanted to also carve out this piece and say there are people potentially in your campaign who could be c

ainsley: we are digesting all of this morning.king and patrick roar shot and killed in kansas city. investigators believe the suspect grabbed one of their guns and they escorted him into court. we heard a shot. seep an officer shot in his head and seen another officer losing his life on the floor. >> a 14 year veteran of the force and roar served seven years. suspect antwon fielder also shot. he has a long criminal history including murder charges. a man under arrest blockading himself inside armored car. suspect may have been armed stopping traffic in the vehicle. he will stapsd notes to his window address you had to the president with one reading. this release the oig report. police say the suspect identified as matthew wright from nevada surrendered after a car chase, his motive still unclear. fire hydrants. crews in new jersey sharing this picture of a hose running right through a car. firefighters window to position correctly since there was no time to get a tow. the firefighters are off the hook for the damage. >> always the

julia ainsley joins us now with more on this. julia, i think this piece just posted, so i want you to give us a chance to walk through what you've learned. >> i would be happy to, kacie. these are notes from a town hall of federal officers on february 2018. that was the early days of the trump administration, but they were not discussing how can we crack down on illegal border crossings, they wanted to specifically crack down on families claiming asylum. they came up with a number of policies and some of those are already enacted. one of those, of course, is separating women and children. they also wanted to hold people indefinitely. they found out they couldn't logistically do that. they also wanted to raise the bar to pass the initial asylum interview. that is something the attorney general just announced last week. so we're seeing the from you ui all the numbers now, and it's because over the summer the president was not comfortable, he wanted a crackdown. but all of this was brought to the beginning not to break the law, but
