then you've got the ultraconservatives and freedom caucus which feel em boldened as a result of that retirement speech from paul ryan. there's a remarkable tension in terms of politics shaping the dynamic of this immigration debate. but let's take out the politics for a second. because you know,ardless of whether you're a republican or a democrat, this debate on immigration has been going on for so long and when you have children that are being separated from their parents and their families on father's day, this is without question not a good -- this is not a winning political issue for democrats or republicans and most people outside of washington cannot understand the inaction of congress and government to move this over the finish line. at the end of the day republicans are in power but should there be a divided government come post november, practiy speaking it's only going to be more difficult for so type of policy item to get done. this is an embarrassment on the behalf of b parties. >> jonathan, as kef vib is noting here in. in the past both democrats and republicans not push

and women are waiting four hours in the women are waiting to see a doctor, but they are finally em boldened to come out and speak out against being sexually assaulted. we need to step up to take this epidemic crime seriously and treat it with the seriousness that it deserves. >> supervisor cohen: let me ask you -- and we are here in the budget committee and just deliberating about budgets and numbers. so it's a considerable ask that you are requesting. one of which i am wondering if we shouldn't scale up. >> supervisor: sure. >> supervisor cohen: how many people are you envisioning? director talked about four or three positions. >> supervisor: three positions. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor fewer? >> superviser fewer: what i heard from the discussion, two are funded, requested three, is that correct? >> supervisor: and that is correct. and i think they should move to h.r.c. i have been asking for a third position through the add back process on the city wish list. so what i have tried to do is strike a balance in asking for enough to seriously get this done without asking for the moon. but

the president undoubtedly em boldened by this supreme court decision. >> thanks to kristen and pete as well. let me just ask you to react to the argument upheld by the majority. the argument from the white house that the president has broad powers based on national security. they checked oult peop eed how screened. >> this decision was set as soon as neil gorsich was seated in the court. it's based on the competition and the political ideology of the supreme court at this moment. he said he wanted a complete and total ban of muslims entering the country. he languaged it it up. he really didn't change it that much. some people will say he didn't ban all muslim countries so it's not a ban. the countries that are banned are banned because they are muslim countries. the people who are being affected. they are not people who have a bad record. they're just muslims from these countries and that is enough. the throwing in of northern korea and certain officials in sw venezuela is nothing but lipstick on a pig. it's to cover up an ugly policy. the fact the supreme court says the president can
