jacob: sure. i mean, i think it could not hurt to have the president of the united states down there hielf. the secretary as you mentioned was down there today with this bipartisan group osenators. ness a big priority for them. not just reuniting all of the families that the trump administration deliberately in the name of scaring people away from coming to the country separated from one another in what physicians for human rights call culture, the american academy of pediatric called government sanctioned child abuse the biden administration is trying a hard pivot away from those types of policies and toward a more humane system. but their problem here is that they're not doing an effective job in messaging how they are going to get there. it's complicated. and to have the commander in chief down there himself perhaps the vice president, i think would go a long way toward explaining that this is about taking care of the people coming to this country. treating them as human beings with humanity an

jacob quickly fell in love and asked for her hand in marriage.seven years. her hand in marriage. i love this next line. they seemed like only a few days because of his love for her. [inaudible] after the seven years of labor were completed, jacob became patient. he said give me my wife, my time is completed and i want to lie with her. the wedding celebration began. unfortunately for rachel and jacob, it was not going to be the fairytale ending they hoped for. >> they brought together all of the people of the place when evening came he took his daughter and gave her to jacob he was very excited to marry the love of his life rachel and there is this dramatic reveal but he has married leah. rachel has to feel devastated that her older sister is now married to this man. you have to wonder how he felt being snuck in, he was in his chosen love and yet she was sent in. he feels very deceived. he goes and anchored her father and says what have you done. >> unapologetic he opposed the new deal. you can marry rachel but you have to work another seven years

who are the challenges for the biden administration here, jacob? >> reporter: well, in particular, capacity. the idea that children are being backed up in border patrol stations. over 600 children have been in border patrol stations for over 72 hours. we saw what happened when children were held in the facilities, sleeping on concrete floors. some sleeping outside in areas surrounded by chain-link fencing. i asked the secretary about that. what he said to me is very specifically, we will build capacity as we need or as needed. what that means, to translate for everybody is, there has been some discussion in the public about additional soft sided tent facilities. they call them soft sided springing up here along the border or hhs facilities. the secretary of homeland security did not rule out adding additional tent facilities in order to maintain, to process migrants coming to this country, craig. >> stand by if you can. i want to bring in garrett. garrett, in the last hour, you and our team on the hill there reported that the house is apparently no

>> reporter: that's an extremely good question, jacob.0, off the top of my head, of the beds are in isolation, negative pressure, so they set those aside that test positive for covid. you're exactly right. while it isn't at capacity, given what we have seen in the cbp facilities, it would seen be at capacity. so why weren't more of these facilities ramped up before this surge? again, the biden administration, they're saying that part of that was due to covid, part of that was due to the policies of the previous administration, the transition, perhaps things didn't get done as quickly as they could have. they've only been in office for a short time, but jacob, you know this as well as anyone, this is something that critics say the administration should have seen coming. there are many questions on whether to deal with this crisis quickly enough. the crisis they say is more of a humanitarian crisis in central america, one, it's a crisis that the administration's critics say is happening right here on the southern border. yesterday we rode a

jacob: no.inese economy is recovering on the back of a successful containment, suppression of covid, and a significant domestic policy stimulus. of course, it would help if you had a removal of these tariffs. but it is not, as you say, an existential issue that, in my opinion, matches a great deal for where the near-term trajectory of the chinese economy lies. that is basically determined by the scale and composition of domestic stimulus. shery: jacob, and a sort of unrelated but sort of related issue, china has announced trials for two canadians detained in canada, two years after their initial detention. is this timing, is it political here? jacob: first of all, it is an outrage it has taken two years for these, in all probability, innocent people to be put on something the chinese government calls trial. but i would also say that there is nothing left to chance here. this is a clear signal, and my opinion, by the chinese authorities to perhaps get rid of a sticking point between china and one

jacob: there wasn't very much tangible progress. e.u. themselves to distribute 10 million extra doses that they got. they obviously have been unable to have a political agreement with the british government. but what they did agree on was basically to sort of wave through the big stick that the commission put in place on wednesday, which makes it easier for it to -- in collaboration with members to block shipments from potentially astrazeneca, but also other companies. i will say, though, that the wording from leaders, and the communique and comments afterward makes me doubt very much that this new tool is going to be used on the company that it really matters, namely pfizer beyond tech -- namely pfizer-biontech. maria: good morning, jacob, it's maria. the question is, why is this happening now? why is the commission doing this? there is a theory that essentially what europe is doing now is trying to overcompensate for being naive when it comes about to the contract, to know that it did this with an export mentality and that it was naive

so, jacob lawrence was the most famous black artist of the 20th century.ies lawrence's visionary artistic impact. we're working at the dawn of the modern civil rights movement when american art is really entrenched in abstraction and he has his own synthesis, his artistic ingenuity and individuality, to tell the stories that are really underrepresented in the history books. finding missing works of art is incredibly rare. so, panel 16 was discovered because of a visitor to the exhibition's installation at the metropolitan museum of art in new york, was standing in the gallery seeing this narrative series and looking at the holes on the wall where-- where the missing panels would have been. and she thought to herself that, gee, i think my neighbor has one of these panels. and it happened to be panel 16, which is incredible because we didn't actually know what it looked like. there's incredible golds and-- and greens that lawrence uses for the citizen's army and then the cool blue he uses for the american revolutionaries. but across the panel, all the faces

jacob, what does this direction to fema to assist at the border say to you?owding situation at the southern border. the department of homeland security cannot get a record number of migrant children out of its border jails. whether they're cages, which is what i saw during the separation crisis, that facility is now closed for renovation, or plexiglass dividers which sources say they're using now in certain facilities along the border, it is not a place for children to be. this is a mission that dhs that they can't get them out fast enough, that hhs cannot take those children in with childcare professionals fast enough. so now they're calling in fema, the officials who deal with natural disasters and covid relief, you name it. now they'll be involved in the sheltering and caring for migrant children at the border. >> jacob, talk about the factors that go into why we're seeing this right now. the white house is repeatedly saying the border is not open, now is not the time to go to the border. is that actually getting across? >> i don't think so, is the truth o

jacob chansley voluntarily drove himself to the fbi meeld office to talk to the fbi thinking that he -- if he is so smart, can talk his way out of trouble. not knowing he already had bnl see cently charged. during that discussion with the fbi, with the field office in phoenix, defendant twice told law enforcement he 4 plans twice to drive to the arizona state capitol, corroborating the plans. law enforcement found the horned head dress, face paint, bull horn in his car that was parked outside of the fbi field office. the defendant was arrested at the phoenix fbi office. he went to the fbi field fis with the horns and the spear and the bull horn in his car. crazy? stupid? or both? you decide. one of the reasons that added weight to judge lambert's decision to keep jacob chansley in jail is that he carried a weapon with him in the capitol. a six-foot pole with an american flag zip tied to the shaft and a metal spearhead affixed to the top. the defense trying to argue that was just a flag, and federal buildings are filled with flags. the judge said, quote, whether or not an object is a

will jacob chansley sue trump, for what happened to him that day? will he sue donald trump for fraud in making him believe that the election was stolen and he had to put on his horns and go to the capitol and fight? will he sue donald trump for negligence for urging him to go to the capitol and fight? there are over 300 people whose lives have been disrupted because of what donald trump told them to do. and what they did got them arrested by the fbi. which one of them will be the first to sue donald trump for damages? which one of them will sue trump to pay attorney fees in their criminal case? which one of them will sue trump to pay for lost income and punitive damages because of what trump told them to do? which one of them will be the first to sue trump for fraud? that might sound like a crazy lawsuit to you. but not to them. they are all crazy or stupid or both. and so far, the cases against every single person at the capitol show them to be crazy, stupid, or both. jacob chansley advertised his craziness in his outfit choice, and today in a 32-p

i want to bring back jacob and kristen. jacob, there's a ton to unpack here. i would say the headline, one interesting headline for me is she went out of her way to say the border is not open. that was interesting. i'm curious of your thoughts on that. the second thing that i would like you to deal with is, this idea of investing in the central american countries directly has been the democratic policy answer for years. we have thrown some money down there. it hasn't worked. why? >> we heard ambassador say in english and spanish, repeatedly, the border is closed. as a reporter who goes on the ground to look at this stuff, myself. other than children who come to this country unaccompanied and there are a record number of children coming because they were kept out of country by president trump and part after their new humane, fair and orderly proses, the biden administration has started letting them in. the border is closed to nin who is not an unaccompanied migrant child. i saw a back up of haitians, central american, families, people wanti and they are not abl

>> jacob, detention facility is not where a family belongs. >> we're back with jacob soboroff and mariadetaining families? >> i thought it was an incredibly important statement by the secretary. it wasn't a commitment to closing the three family detention centers, what symptom advocates literally call baby jails but it would be a significant departure if there were no longer families detained together by the biden administration. that would be a departure not only from the trump administration, which refused to release many families but also from the obama administration, which candidly, opened these facilities in the first place. >> maria teresa, there is great enthusiasm, there's great urgency on the part of advocates to get that done. how do they continue to hold the administration accountable? >> i think you're going to see a two-part strategy. one is very much at the table. i think that what makes these promises so starkly different from even the obama administration is that the people inside the white house advising the policy, they themselves were advocates. they were themselves

jacob soboroff there at the border in arizona, getting a first-hand look at a topic that according to peter the president is going to be facing a lot of questions about here when this news conference starts. white house sent a group of senior officials and lawmakers to the border in texas, jacob, as you know. nbc accompanies them inside the facility. how is this administration faring in its vow of a more humane approach so far in your estimation? >> well, it's a long way from rhetoric, i think, to reality, craig, and we see that not just in south texas where by far the facilities are most overcrowded, but across the southwest border. here in the yuma sector of the border patrol, as of this morning, according to data obtained by nbc news they're at 489% capacity. that is a humanitarian crisis inside facilities like the ones at this border patrol complex. these are jails, they're not meant for children. the conditions we have seen many times over the years, whether it's in the obama administration, the trump administration, and now the biden administration. and the idea is to get childr

jacob, first to you.secretary mayorkas told you recently they need more space for migrant children. what's behind the spike? what's being done about it? how are they trying to deal with it? >> i think, andrea, with the children it's very specifically a reversal of a trump administration policy. all migrants were kept out of the country under the cover of this title 42 public health law that was, you know, nominally, supposedly supposed to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the united states. now, public health officials and experts have called that a faulty, not fact-based justification. but nevertheless, the biden administration has kept it in place for adults and families. but they have reversed it for children. and in so doing children who have been waiting on the other side of the border in somewhat of a backlog have started to come into the country. and yes, right now there is a backlog in border patrol stations and health and human services shelters. those stations are no place for children. and t

now, jacob jackson was a known operative on the underground railroad, so he wasn't permitted to read his mail so it was very important to have this coded message so the postmaster as well as a few others had to read his mail before mr. jackson could, so they read it in, made no sense and when he picked it up any looked at it, he said you are right, this can be for me, it makes no sense. but he saw that text, the lyrics from the old ship of zion and he knew she was coming back for them. so she met her brothers at the carolina county and they hid in a corn crib and history created corn crib. so what happened in the courtroom crab is they had the hide here and the father put a blindfold on because he knew that somebody would ask him, have you seen your children today? and he if he were wearing a blindfold he could say no, i have not seen them. he brought them food and water and he talked to them for a little while but they had to ask in here because their mother was waiting up for them for christmas. she was cooking food and she prepared her home to see her children and her family and h

jacob, let me start with you.ve thousands of unaccompanied minors and families with young children being held at the border. secretary mayorkas talked about how his team is ending the practice of sending those minors back to their country. what challenges does that present? >> reporter: capacity. that's the number one challenge faced by the biden administration as they try to transition to a more fair, safe and humane immigration system. in the words of secretary mayorkas himself, he think get the children out of the border patrol stations, effectively border jails, within 72 hours, legally. they have had a hard time doing that. the capacity isn't there at the office of refugee resettlement where child welfare professionals can care for the children with expertise. the child welfare professionals can't. that's the crux of this. they have stopped sending kids back to mexico and back to their home countries, the danger from which they fled. it presented a large logistical challenge and a humanitarian crisis where to

there is a humanitarian crisis, as jacob said and it is not a crisis of resources. the federal government has enough resources to deal with these children. you know, as a starting point, we can't go back to the trump administration's policy of sending children back, young children back to danger. it's illegal. it's inhumane, and i think it would leave yet another historic stain on this country, so the question is a practical one. how do we create shelters quickly? the trump administration dismantled everything and the biden administration is working quickly and these children don't need long-term shelter. they have relatives and parents in the u.s. we're just looking for temporary shelter so that they can then go to their parents and relatives. i think we can do that. i hope that the country won't make this a political issue. these are young children, and i think we also need to remember, as you've covered so well, andrea, over the years. the trump administration separated families and those children are still not reunited with their parents. i'd like to see attenti

. >> jacob soboroff is at the border. we know the high number of questions that dealt with the focus of your professional life this long time now. what specifically did you hear that you were waiting for? >> reporter: brian, the president framed this as a humanitarian issue, and that is exactly what it is. i'm just looking down at my notes. he ended the press conference by saying, the idea we have tens of thousands of kids in these god-awful facilities, this is one of those facilities, the yuma border patrol station. this complex here is one of many that are overcrowded, to 489% capacity as i'm talking to you, as of this morning contained in data obtained by nbc news. the question is what is he going to do about it in the short term? he talked about bringing thousands of beds to the place where people are able to give care to those children where the men and women behind me would say they're not trained to do and they're not prepared to do. there were a couple highlights. number one, i have to thank kristen welker for ask
