he didn't characterize it for us jacob. you know, this is something that happens with this administration from time to time. you will hear a promise but not necessarily a time line with regards to specifics or implementation. so that's pretty much what we got this morning is, well, him talking in broad terms, if you will, about keeping the country safe. i think that's probably something that regardless of political affiliation we all want to do. everyone wants to keep the country safe. but precisely how do you go about doing that and and how do you go about doing that in a way where you balance legitimate national security concerns with the rights that a lot of people in this country have enjoyed for a long time. >> elise one of the other thing that the president danced around was this issue of anti-semitism. he was give a lay up question at the press conference on thursday to denounce anti-semitism. finally this morning he came out and denounced by name anti-semitism. spicer said as well he will continue the do that. is th

as nbc's jacob soboroff found out, in a section of the border that already has high security, smugglers are putting u.s. authorities to the test every day. >> reporter: this is the san ysidro port of entry. it is the busiest border crossing in the entire world. every day 50,000 vehicles, around 20,000 pedestrians and untold loads of narcotics make their way to the other side. and while president trump said he wants to build a border wall where there isn't one to keep drugs out, this is actually the front line. that's one of your agents that stands out here specialized to look for suspicious activity? >> correct. once he sees something he'll initiate contact with this driver. >> reporter: the dea says most narcotics entering the u.s. are driven in, hidden in vehicles. through what drug cartels call plazas. legal border crossings like m erexicala, and this one with tijuana. they're all at the border wall. >> so what you're saying is this came in here and it got a positive hit with a k-9, with a dog. it appears in the dash are some of the narcotics hidden in the vehicle. they started to pu

to many in south africa, the blame goes all the way to the top, with the example set by president jacobomething of a habit here. inside, opposition mps interrupted the president's speech... an incorrigible man, rotten to the core! ..reminding him that he'd broken his oath of office in relation to a corruption scandal. in english, he's called a scoundrel! eventually, political theatre turned into something more violent, security guards called in to reject the protesting mps. we would like to apologise... only then did mr zuma get his chance to celebrate his government's achievements. we are building a south africa that —— we are building a south africa that must be free from poverty, inequality and unemployment. but the political mood here is sour, and likely to get worse. but as gloomy as things may seem here, there's change in the air. here, in port elizabeth, and in other key cities, the opposition has been winning power in local elections, nudging south african democracy in the right direction. the result, a frenzy of initiatives in port elizabeth, the former opposition now keen to s

jacob joining me live from new york. you spent some time down south at the border. >> as you know, the president has said he's going to build this great border wall to stop this overdosed crisis going on in the united states. the reality is a bit different than that. the wall cannot and does not stop most of the drugs coming into this country as i found out. take a look. >> this is the san ysidro port of entry. the busiest land border crossing in the world. every single day 50,000 vehicles, around 20,000 pedestrians and untold loads of narcotics make their way to the other side. >> what's the biggest threat coming through these borders. >> it's everything. we're looking at everyone. we're looking at illegal narcotics, heroin, fentanyl. >> reporter: in the san diego sector, seizures of heroin have tripled and meth seizures have more than quadrupled. overdoses have been skyrocketing. that's one of your agents that stands out here. specialized to look for suspicious activity? >> yes. what he's looking at right now is the sp

jacob rascon is in houston with more on today's demonstrations.ob, is it thinning now that the game is getting rolling here? >> reporter: it is. and we aren't seeing as many protesters as we saw earlier. in fact, the crowd of 400 or 500 people has largely disappeared. they came and they talked about president trump, most upset it seemed about the refugee ban. they also had a host of other issues they wanted to talk about. behind me, you're seeing in fact some of those who are performing during the super bowl who are going in to the entry area. and so we're about to get going here. the protesters as i said have left as have many of the thousands of people who have come to tailgate or to go in and do other things for the game. so we're getting going. and the scene looks different out here, richard. >> it does, jacob. looks like they're very lady gaga-like in terms of those performers if their costumes or outfits are any indication here. jacob rascon for us all day in houston where the super bowl is happening. thank you so much. >>> president trump's
