please welcome congress member karen bass.how. >> thank you. >> thanks for having me on. >> it really is the perfect time to have you on because of your experience not just in congress and on imtbraition but also with regards to the chaild welfare system. let's talk a little bit about this policy that the trump administration has now implemented, separating kids from their parents there is one element people don't seem to think of and that is where are the kids going to go they are taken away indefinitely. what strain does that put on the u.s. system? >> well, first of 5u8, the foster care system is exploding because of the opioid crisis, so we don't have enough foster homes now for kids who are abused or neglected. that is the purpose of the system. to project children. >> right. >> the idea that we would separate children as a punishment and as a deterrent so people won't come and their parents won't do this is just egregious. and so at one of the centers, one of the detense centers they ring a bell different times during th

here's what democratic karen bass who sits on the foreign affairs committee told me last hour. >> i think that he sees the summit almost as the goal. because the korean leader hands him a big envelope. he gets excited by that. he comes out and says that, you know, it was a very good statement. i don't think it makes much sense. and it just makes me wonder, what will actually happen in the summit. i think the sad thing is, though, world leaders know how to play president trump. and i'm sure there will be a lot of pomp and circumstance. maybe there will even be a big parade. and it's no telling what he will agree to. i think from the vantage point of the north korea leader, he's won already. he got a major victory by having the president even agreeing to the summit. and who knows what will happen. maybe there will be two, maybe there will be three summits. i think it really raises his profile an his stature in the world. >> nbc correspondent kelly o'donnell is joining me now, kelly is the north korea summit on the bulk of the president's focus this weekend? >> well, at best, we can say that

you know, karen bass, a congressman was on in the previous hour and she was talking about how we're alreadyfficulty housing kids taken away from their parents because of abuse situations, et cetera, in our own country. how can we efficiently, effectively do this with kids coming from other countries? the underlying issue is why are these parents escaping where -- their native countries. we have to start looking at this from a long-term approach figuring out what we can do to better society overall so there isn't that need for people to leave. >> how long can we hold them is a good question, but also all of the families who are still entering at this very minute. what is going to happen to them? peter, we want to talk about white house press secretary sarah sanders. she was asked to leave this virginia restaurant because of her work for the trump administration. this comes days after the big story where homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen was heckled at a mexican restaurant, appropriately, ultimately forcing her out the door. is all of this fair game, in your opinion? >> absolutely.
