brian: a few moments left.o today, under the zero- tolerance policy, if the same thing happened to cindy and her daughter coming across the border, what happens to them today? ms. thompson: zero tolerance doesn't exist as it was. a judge ordered the administration to stop separating families, to stop separating parents from their children. and frankly, it is still unclear what is going to happen. but what it looks like at this moment is the administration -- what happens to families is they will cross and be held together in a family detention facility until their asylum interviews happen. and if they are granted an opportunity to fully pursue an asylum claim, they will be released on bond and allowed to pursue their asylum claim outside of detention. brian: ginger thompson is based in new york. she's a senior reporter for propublica. she is a veteran of 15 years of "the new york times," several years of "the baltimore sun" and the "l.a. times," and is a graduate of purdue university. thank you very much for jo

host of the brian joyce show on talk radio on w g o w with him brian joins us from chattanooga tennessee jen what's your take on don macand leaving the white house. well larry it's something i've expected for a while there has been often some contention and some differing opinions here between don began and the president i've been hearing about this since even last fall so part of me wonders what took them so long but i think this is the natural course of events here when you're dealing with someone like president trompe someone who doesn't mind changing horses midstream we've seen that with the onset of rudy giuliani coming onto his legal team and i think don began it was more of the old school washington d.c. type of attorney that president trump thought he needed in the beginning but now i think president trump is starting to see as his poll numbers continue to rise as he continues to explain this investigation to the american people that he actually needs to win in the court of public opinion as well and that's why you see him bringing on people like rudy giuliani and people like don

cross talking with a phobia i'm joined by my guest brian becker in washington he's the director of the answer coalition as well as host of loud and clear a daily news show on radio sputnik also in washington we have earl rescues and he is the executive vice president of the eurasia center and in managua we cross sudan like he is an adjunct professor of law at the university of pittsburgh as well as author of the plot to scapegoat russia all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it dan when did you finish writing your book the date. yes last last year like last so what what did you know that we didn't know then because it sounds like an absolutely perfect idol for the moment in the current news cycle go ahead. well russia has been a scapegoat of the united states for a long long time you know we could go as far back certainly as nine hundred seventeen but certainly after world war two we had you know what was known as the cold war which. centered upon the vilification of russia to justify the u.s. is. benchers abroa

supposed to be our it's really incredible you know brian one of the things i think it's. very interesting very tragic here is that somehow russia meddled in america's democracy i don't even really know what that means but you hear it all of the time but what really is happening i think my personal opinion is that because there isn't any questioning of the intelligence community in their behavior and i'm thinking of the f.b.i. during the two thousand and sixteen election they are damaging america's democracy because you cannot ask these questions about what they did i mean the f.b.i. the d.o.j. which was created by congress right they fund these agencies and what we see is obstruction so i can't you know meddling ok i'm not i have no idea what that really means but we're getting more and more information that that kind of regime change scenario. the u.s. has used around the world for decades has actually come home and they're practicing the same playbook go ahead brian. and in fact that's gone on for decades the the i guess i agree with dan come vala why would anyone trust
