it wasn't stephen miller.had nothing do with the campaign when donald trump called for a total and complete ban on muslims entering the united states. and stephen miller wasn't calle people on both sides of the charlottesville protest honorable people. so i really think stephen millie bobby brown may be taking on a lot of this issue but i think in this case this is donald trump, this is donald trump putting forward what he believes in, unfortunately. >> ned price, thank you very much for joining us. william cohan, thank you also. i'll tweet out the piece if you're interested. we'll continue monitoring what the president is saying out in las vegas before the nevada republican party. paying attention to what he has to say with regard to immigration and immigration policy if he says anything about the subject, of course, we'll bring those to you live. up next, the duds that certainly were a dud. the backlash, first lady melania trump's jacket choice on her trip to the border with mexico. >>> the first lady's spok

this is classic stephen miller. ent a lot of time talking to miller reporting on miller for a pro-tile at the atlantic and the thing that i came away with was that, he absolutely is a fierce ideology when it comes to this right wing nationalist world view. he spoke at length to me about the conservative nationalism sweeping across the world and how that movement would ultimately prevail because there was greater emotional residence to that movement than any other movement. the other thing i found out about -- as i spent time with him, is he thrills at advancing it in a most caustic way possible. it's how you get the travel ban implemented the way it was to maximize chaos at the airports and it's now how you get an immigration policy that's so draconian at the border that it's eliciting outrage across the country, across the political spectrum. to stephen miller and his allies, that is the point. that provocation is the point. they want to see this anger and outrage because they've made this grim political calculation

stephen miller has still been there. he started early on in the campaign.t both shares the president's kind of gut feeling on immigration, and he has been the architect, really, of the president's immigration agenda. and i think those who bet on the fact that the president is somehow going to yield to some of this pressure with people like miller and jeff sessions and john kelly whispering in his ear on these things, i think are betting on the wrong sideme. my sense is that's not where he's going to go, and if he does in the end, it's really only going to be because of intense political pressure. in this case he seems defiant in the face of that. >> david, sheeter volume of negative headlines and pushback even from high-profile republicans, do you see a scenario in which president trump second-guesses the wisdom of what sessions and miller have done? >> how many times have we had this conversation, is he going to back off? certainly this time he has to back off. one thing we've learned, he doesn't back off, and i think it's unfair to the president to sugges

stephen miller, everybody. mr. miller, thank you so much. thank you. yes mr.nk you for joining to me today. i know there are a lot of people who'd like to talk to you right now. >> yes, stephen. a lot of people want to talk. to me. the feeling is very foreign, so foreign that i want to deport it and capture its children. >> stephen: now, i understand you were a strong advocate for the child detention policy. were you happy with the results? >> oh, yes, stephen. this is my happy face. ( laughter ) stephen, as of june 9, we detained 2,342 children, taken from 2,206 parents, meaning 136 of those parents had more than one child. which, personally, i don't understand, because my parents swore an oath never to reproduce again after they had me. >> stephen: i thought you had a younger brother. >> he tells everyone we're not related. ( laughter ) >> stephen: there was a huge public outcry against this policy. don't you have any sympathy for these kids? >> yes, of course, i do, stephen. at first, i felt sympathy attempting to jump the border of my heart. so i used a de

there is a reason why stephen miller signed on to the campaign. there is a reason why stephen miller survived the whole campaign. there is a reason why stephen miller has survived this long in the white house. ashley, their views align when it comes to immigration. it wasn't a mistake that donald trump came out and started his campaign by saying mexico, a sending rapists and criminals over the border. it wasn't a mistake. it wasn't something he stumbled on with building the wall. these were plans put in place by sam nunberg and roger stone, what they thought would work in a republican primary, what they thought would work to donald trump's advantage. >> you're right. there has been this myth at various points on immigration that steech millphen miller is kind of this dark puppet master pulling the president to a place where he is not comfortable going, and that's simply not true. the president is not an ideologue. he does not have a lot of firmly-held views. as we both saw on the campaign trail, trade is one and immigration is the other. so there

i'm sorry, stephen miller does have the excuse, stephen miller does have the president's ear. the president, i think, is is the president, right? >> and the president is in line with stephen miller and mike coffman. coffman represents a more moderate view, represents a swing district for latino voters worried about the daca problem, trying to get that vote on daca separately which the white house and the speaker oppose. stephen miller has a more hard line view that's in line with the president. while the president may think this is a good political issue, perhaps it is to rile up the base, it could hurt republicans like mike coffman who do not want to take this hard line view, particularly in a general election. >> the lack of consistency, i guess, is what makes it hard to track for me. if you're mike coffman, even if you oppose the president, you kind of want to know where he is. >> i think as hard as the policy itself, you can argue the merits and demerits in the policy. the lack of consistency and the lack of clarity about what the policy actually is after the president sig

he's simply doing what he's told to be doing but stephen miller, his white nationalist senior adviser. jeff sessions, kirstjen nielsen, these people are dead set to separate families, regardless of what the law says, and the president should be reminded, they all should be reminded, that the law -- and i'll be technical here for a second -- section 208 of the immigration law says you can apply for asylum in the united states whether you're here legally, whether you're not here legally, whether you arrived legally, whether you arrived between the ports of entry. it is absolutely legal what these people are doing, and to prosecute them for a federal criminal misdemeanor, that is a violation of law. that is a violation of our international obligations as a country, the united states. >> david, there is some new data that just came out and it shows, according to the u. n., that the u.s. has the greatest percentage of asylum seekers compared to any other country in the world. does that surprise you? >> no, of course not. we are the beacon of liberty. we are the beacon of freedom. that's pr

republican senators took the rare step by calling out miller as a staffer by name. >> as long as stephen millers in charge of negotiating immigration, we're going nowhere. >> going nowhere. now, other observers say miller doesn't mind these critiques or he may even relish them because he's nut interested in traditional public interest policymaking. they argue like kind of like steve bannon he actually views policy as kind of a spectacle, no matter who gets hurt. some have written he sees a value in constructive controversy, which he thinks will bring enlightenment. miller used a combative trolling style in high school when running for student council. >> hi, i'm stephen miller. am i the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, and we have plenty of janitors paid -- >> plenty of janitors paid to pick up the trash for you. now, that is just a high school statement. although he's young, so that was only about a decade and a half ago. it connects because miller deploys a pretty similar style today. >> i am shocked at your statement that you think only people from great brit

new details on how white house officials like stephen miller has been one of main drivers, pushing the president to enforcing the separation policy after it was first floated by then dhs secretary john kelly in march of 2017. with escalating krilt sixes on both sides of the aisle, a new prediction for how bad it could get. a border patrol chief telling the "washington post" last night, family separations could double in number. department of homeland security saying nearly 2,000 children already have been separated from their parents between april and may. "washington post" also giving us a sense here of how dire the situation is for children housed in at least one of the shelters. the president of the american academy of pediatrics visited a shelter in texas and told the post workers there are not al w allowed to touch the children even if it means consoling crying toddlers. president trump -- a strategy that carries risk for republicans long term. kelly o'donnell has more. >> reporter: far from the real world consequences, is the red meat of immigration politics. president trump twee

these days, i am a little skeptical about sources whether they are anonymous and his stephen miller the only one in in supportouse to is of this policy? it sounds like they are all against it but they have been it, am i enforce wrong? guest: there are certainly other thegration hubs in president, including the president himself. as far as the policy, you are correct that not everyone in the trump administration necessarily supports this. there is a split in the republican party in general over this. but it is also true that the administration could decide to stop separating the families if they chose. it isn't the democrats forcing these separations to happen. host: preston, you are on the line. wondering where someone finds the requirements for the rules on entering our country? host: why do you ask? caller: well, i don't know what they're required to know or not. i don't appreciate the fact that my telephone on something it says to press one for english. which it should be our countries language regardless. people that come in, whether or not they are legal, i know that some of the ch

, the muslim ban was stephen miller's creation.was in the senate he has been working on a lot of these policies trying to get them through and his whole belief is that this kind of racial animus, if you can fire that up then you will energize a certain group of people. i happen to believe, chris, it's a minority of americans across this country. >> but you think stephen miller is one of them. you think he's a white supremacist? >> i said in my tweet he has ties to white supremacists. now others, southern poverty law center, a number of researchers have gone into this in some depth and they see -- some people tweeted back and said he is a white supremacist, not just ties. i don't know enough to know exactly where these intersections start and end but he is craftsing many of these policies. >> what do you think the motivation for this strategy that is being in part architected by stephen miller but certainly carried through and extended by the president of the united states, what do you think the motivation is? is it race? >> i think

but let's move to what is happening on the border a congressman wants stephen miller gone.ch this. >> i believe miller advised him on the border, on this recent problem in terms of tearing families apart. that lack of understanding of the significance of how that played out has stephen miller's fingerprints on it. and so i think the president needs a different adviser. >> stephen miller part of that hard line immigration advising and stance. but do you think for him to go, would pigs be flying first? >> i think stephen miller is a survive in this administration because he consistently does things that the president likes. remember i believe it was last summer where he took on reporters in the white house briefing room, went toe to toe over immigration. and it was a performance that the president reportedly found very impressive. he has survived the purge of steve bannon. he sort of came in as a bannon world type. former staffer for jeff sessions everyone as jeff sessions getting criticized by the president, steven miller oig continues to survive. and it is important to unde

. >> any major issues with evidence that stephen miller is the reason behind the immigration situation with the separation of families? guest: i point you towards the new york story -- the new york times story in which stephen miller defense policy and the times reports he has been behind the scenes, pushing this at the white house. host: you sound skeptical. the new york times, did you notice who their sources were? these days, i am a little skeptical about sources whether they are anonymous and his stephen miller the only one in in supportouse to is of this policy? it sounds like they are all against it but they have been it, am i enforce wrong? guest: there are certainly other thegration hubs in president, including the president himself. as far as the policy, you are correct that not everyone in the trump administration necessarily supports this. there is a split in the republican party in general over this. but it is also true that the administration could decide to stop separating the families if they chose. it isn't the democrats forcing these separations to happen. host: presto

and, by the way, night dentist is the job stephen miller looks like he should have, just by the way. ( laughter ) also, let's not get it twisted. that restaurant owner didn't ask sarah huckabee sanders to leave because of her opinions, okay. she's a senior official of the trump administration, not some rando with a blog. this person was protesting the government. sarah huckabee sanders just happened to be a part of the government who showed up in her restaurant. right? it's like in i had a beef with the teletubbies-- it may have started with laa-laa, but if tinky winky shows up, some shit is going down! it's going down! ( cheers and applause ) basically, people in power would like to be insulated from the effects of their actions. but if you're in a position where you can influence other people's lives, you shouldn't be shocked when you hear from the people whose lives you affect. like, even athletes get booed by their fans when they're not doing a good job. and sports has no actual effect on people's lives. a missed shot has never shot down a community center, okay, never happens. i

. >> then there's president trump's senior policy adviser, stephen miller, who told the "new york times," and i'm quoting now. it was a simple decision by the administration to have a zero tolerance policy for illegal entry, period. the message is that no one is exempt from immigration law, closed quote. let's go to our senior correspondent jeff zeleny who is joining us right now. jeff, what more are you hearing from officials today on this decision to go ahead and separate children from their parents? >> reporter: wolf, there is no question, even though stephen miller there, senior adviser to the president, called it a simple decision. it is being viewed as anything but a simple decision, largely because of the images that are coming in from the border, those images of the children, the images of the parents and families. the reality here, wolf, is the white house realizes it hasn't done a good job of explaining this policy. it realizes it has not done a good job of communicating this policy. they're hearing a variety of criticism across the board, from people on the hill, evangelical

he's fed by the political wisdom, the genius of a guy like stephen miller who can go to the "new york times" and say this is a 90/10 issue. if we define it the right way, 90% of the american people are with us. as if people don't understand that's not what this issue is about and baby jails is not the same thing as secure borders. the president is in that bubble and listens to people like stephen miller and comes to the conclusion he can somehow get away with the vileness and not pay the price and also get the credit for it for the people he wants to get the credit from. it turns out there are cameras everywhere in america and you can't do that targeting politics anymore. >> and as rachel pointed out, there are people who want the story out and are telling it in ways they can. nancy pelosi said, the president trump's executive order seeks to replace one form of child abuse with another. instead of protecting traumatized children, the president has directed the attorney general to pave the way for the long term incarceration of families. and we just learned that the justice department

what is it about stephen miller that has so much sway for this president?f this continues, if this continues that, you know, the children are separated from their families, that is going to come up in the midterm. >> sure. >> i don't know that it's going to work for republicans. >> no. something has to get done. so now we are playing a game of chickens for if the democrats will come along with him. >> if he is such a hardliner on this how -- >> let's not forget how president trump got here to be president trump. it was when he came down the escalators. he talked about immigration. he talked about building that wall. and he largely got through both a primary and a general election because of folks like stephen miller being hard-liners on immigration. this is not something you can walk back. he promised to build that wall and secure our borders. that was his fundamental campaign promise and fix the economy. >> he also said mexico is paying for the wall. i'm not convinced that president trump campaigned on separating immigrants from their children that he woul

stephen miller who have been problematic for a long time.eople within the republican party, i know people who worked with him on the hill and found him to be problematic at that time. his policy views are just so extreme and the fact that he retain as position within the white house is shocking to me. but at the same time not shocking. i think public opinion on this is going to hopefully hold this administration's feet to the fire at some point and a record high 75% of americans across party lines think that immigration is good for america. so stephen miller can run and hide from the facts as long as he wants to. but there will come a day and i think the day is coming very soon, where this administration has to confront those facts. until they continue to control the narrative and spin, spin, spin, we won't see mr. miller heading for the doors and that's dangerous. >> my thanks to all of you, rina shaw, jonathan alter and chris whipple. >>> the dallas morning news calls the battles, fiercest fighter. you'll meet her next. he line. push the b

i mean, stephen miller is very clear about this.ted literal nazi propaganda a week ago. these are people that really think that the nature of the country existentially, america won't be america if it changes too much demographically. and they see themselves as guarding against that eventuality, and they're very clear about that. and that's why it's very hard to come to compromise with these people about legislation. so, even when you go and you say, "we're gonna put money into border security," which we've done every year. border security numbers are through the roof. we're going to have more people patrolling the border. which we've done every year. there's more people patrolling the border. they say, "okay. now let's strike a deal." and they, "no, we don't want a deal. because what we want to do is change the demograph t this country to preserve the white majority we have now." >> seth: what happens now moving forward in terms of, i mean, first and foremost, these separated families? do you have any optimism that those 2,000 child

do we know any immigration advocate that sat down with this team -- >> stephen miller >> look at the ing he had today. it was almost zlexclusively whi men. >> and restrictionist white men john kelly and stephen mi. >> if you have that as the only people as a sounding board, you'll produce policies that end up just like this. i don't think president bush was like that. president obama prided himself on not being like that. i think we've gotten to a place where it's not just tribalism. we've created these eco systems we refuse to branch out of. >> joyce, let me bring you in on this. usually this conversation is around the frame for the disregard of the rule of law. we'll get to that later in the show. let me ask you to speak to the per ills of living inside your bubble. just in the frame of civility, frame of humanity. those are the two things we as a country lost over the last ten days. >> you know, yesterday i joined more than 80 of my former u.s. attorney colleagues, a bipartisan group, in signing a letter asking the attorney general to rescind this policy. and something that was int

>> it was picked out by my personal stylist, stephen miller. ( laughter ) >> stephen: wait, stephen miller got some chic armbands he wants me to wear next week. they're red with little black windmills on them. >> stephen: listen, but wearing that jacket to visit a children's prison really seemed insensitive. do you care about the children? >> absolutely. hold on, my hair is cold. >> stephen: wait, wait, your hat says-- >> here we go again. it's just a hat! >> stephen: it says "f" the kids!" >> yes, it stands for "first" the kids. we'll get to you next. ( laughter ) >> stephen: are you aware of what you're husband's doing? >> of course. i am not stupid, stephen. i speak six languages, which is six more than my husband. ( laughter ) >> stephen: so, okay, admittedly-- ( cheers and applause ) so, if you know what's going ont endorses your husband's policy? >> not at all! you should not believe my clothing. oh, it's so hot in here. ( laughter ) >> stephen: okay, now hold on. your shirt says the exact opposite of what you just said. >> stephen, stop looking at my shirt. my lies are up here. ( la

los nombres : ivanka trump,y el asesor del presidente stephen miller, inundan twitter... problema que Él mismo. creÓ una de las reacciones. " apagar el fuego que Él mismo comenzÓ" aquÍ vemos una de muchas. el telÉfono de steven miller que se hizo pÚblico, la gente no ha parado de enviarle muchÍsimosmensajes acÁndolo de ser responsable por las separaciones de familias en la frontera. por otro lado el actor peter fonda tambiÉn encendiÓ las redes diciendo que barrÓn trump deberÍa separarse de su madre y estar en una jaula con abusadores sexuales. este tweet ya ha sido borrado . melania lo calificóerso e irres. dijo que estaba arrepentido por estas palabras y le pide disculpas a la familia. al regreso con ustedes. >> vamos a cambiar de tema porque con el tÍtulo " bienvenidos a amÉrica" la revista times usÓ la foto de la niÑa hondureÑa en la frontera. la pequeÑa se ha convertido en el sÍmbolo visible sobre debates de inmigraciÓn. mira muy serio mientras tiene esa mueca acompaÑada con la frase " bienvenido a amÉrica" . el artÍculo comienza con esta frase " el presidente tiene m

talking about cracking down on illegal immigration, a big plus for republicans in the midterms, stephen miller indicated he wanted to roll out tough border security measures to rally their base. on the other side senate democratic leader chuck schumer says he wants to help the kids on the border but blocking many legislation that would help the kids and doing that so he can rally democrats base ahead of the midterms. what we saw was the president reversing himself on the issue to mute the negative headlines and images on the short-term but to reframe this. in the medium and long term and play this as being tough on illegal immigration while trying to show compassion. this keeps families together while in custody, speeds of their cases and brings in the pentagon to provide shelter. the president acknowledged to house republicans he knew the party was facing political pressure so this executive order keeps families together while in custody and seeks to modify the 2015 court settlement from when barack obama was president. at that time a california judge that is being held by the obama administr

which is fitting because i've always thought of stephen miller as "a potent tool." ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) i'm sorry, impotent. sorry. that's not true. i've always thought of him as an impotent tool. ( audience reacts ) ( applause ) of course, no national policy is complete until it has been vetted by the "fox & friends": >> some refer to these as cages. i can understand that point of view. look, i'm from a farm community, to me, i see the cin-link fences, it's more like a security pen to me. >> stephen: yes, they're not cages, they're pens. we're not treating these kids like zoo animals, we're treating them like farm animals. ( audience reacts ) but the best reaction came from border patrol, because they reached out to "cbs this morning" this morning. >> border patrol people have reached out to us. they were "very uncomfortable" in their words with his characterization of the words "cages." they said it's not inaccurate, but they're very uncomfortable. ( laughter ) >> stephen: oh, it's accurate. that's what's making them uncomfortable. that's like reading "hansel and gretel

but inside of washington you have some folks, stephen miller is the trump enthusiast.een waiting for the gop to look like this, be tough like this, to be willing to pick these fights and be the bad guy. they've been waiting for this republican party. you've got the establishment. these folks didn't love trump in the primary, they've never loved the fact this is the party of trump now but they have acquiesced and embraced it and they have a lot of big institutions like the rnc, cpac, the conservative political action conference, a member of big think tanks that have said look, this is the trump era, trump is our quarterback, i'm a team player, as long as we keep winning games, i'm on his team. and then you've got the never-trump echo. the folks for whom are appalled and astonished everyday what has happened to their party. they believe that the collusion with russia story is going to break at any moment. this is in some ways the bill kristol, the folks within the party that believe that donald trump is a direct threat to democracy and aren't afraid to say it and they th

for either party. >> we earlier in the show talked about some of the potential policies that stephen millerimmigration so to speak. what kind of impact do you think those could have on the midterm elections if we see this administration shift to an even more hard line approach on immigration? >> right. and so this reporting is that trump hasn't built the wall. he hasn't really stopped flows over the border. and so we need to show we've done something and so really stepping up the hard line policies. we've seen what happened with this policy. separating children from families, that's not popular. but again, for the president's base it could be a turnout thing. hey, he's keeping his promises, he's doing what he said he would. >> and a lot of people have been using the word these children have been taken by hostages. he's saying as dave was just mentioning that they don't think they can do a small limit solution to this problem. it has to be an all encompassing immigration policy which is highly unlikely at this point. thanks, dave. >> thank you. >> and president trump seems to be coming more

stephen miller is really a russian plant. but again, the timeline is is important because we don't have documents, do we? we don't have a lot of fbi documents from that time. before31st. that's why you are gradually getting the text. >> we heard from papadopoulos and others that the russi wereing to dirt on hillary, but not person in the trump campaign went to the u.s. authorities, not one. that's a fact. >> laura: do you think this papadopoulos -- this character accompanies trolling bars in london and going to trump tower and saying, i'm going to set up this. >> i think we have like, the deck of cards in iraq. all faces with every title. guys, fantastic as always. up next and the angle i will reveal the real reason that the democrats big midterm election dreams might be turning into kind of a nightmare. don't go away. and i can do it with what's already within me. because my body can still make its own insulin. and once-weekly trulicity activates my body to release it. trulicity is not insulin. it comes in a once-weekly, tru

this issue has stephen miller's fingerprints all over it. the bottom line is say said hey let's get together and do a deter reince and stop people from coming across the border. to think this would deter anyone from coming over the border after you face the conditions that these people face, they come over here already knowing they could face death, robbery. i've covered numerous stories like this where these people are going through hell on earth just to realize the american dream. if they want to be cold and factual they could have said, hey, even if we separate children their getting better living conditions tan they are in their country. and they're right, thad be cold, callus, cruel and soleless, but they would be right. they didn't look at it. when he said he got the best of the brightest he didn't. >> amanda, i want you to take a look at this, there is from inside the oval office. this is from vice president pence and donald trump. >> make clear as we believe it's a false choice, a country of law or a -- and a country that demonstrate

here is the congressman. >> stephen miller advised him on the border, on this recent problem in terms of tearing families apart. the lack of understanding of the significance of how that played out has his fingerprints on it. so, i think the president is in need of an adviser. >> calling for miller to step down or be fired. is that plausible? he survives the other problems with his trying to execute immigration policy. what is his -- is he vulnerable now? >> as you know, the president doesn't take the advice of his own white house advisers, so unlikely he will listen to mike on personnel issues. i'm so glad you raised mike kofman in particular. he is one of these republicans, in a very competitive district. cnn rates his district as a toss up and not only a toss up district, but among them the highest proportions of daca recipients and daca eligible children. this is a district where immigration, in particular, is going to be an issue that hits home for people. people have a personal connection to the issue. you can point to a number of toss-up districts in california, florida, new je

i think what we have seen in the past leweek with several trump officials including stephen miller andd of the homeland security department being heckled and what happened to sarah, i think it looks like a direct consequence of the child separation policy that just outraged a lot of people. i think, you know, whether you feel like it is an appropriate means of protest or not, depends a lot on how bad you think that policy is. and how you important it is to show -- to show some resistance to it and if you saw the int interview with the woman who owns the red hen in lexenton, virginia, she talked to her staff, and there were some people who were gayen the staff who objected to some trump policies, she thought about it, she talked to her staff and she decided she could not serve sarah sanders. and she did something that's well within her rights and politely asked sarah to leave. it depends on what you think about those policies. i think sarah sanders' response to that i naught was very unusual, using her official white house twitter account, to talk about this woman, and talk about the re

. >> stephen miller spoke about this in 2013. get enough senators that oppose the reform package.t's different when you face the president. 90-10 just is not reflected in the numbers. if he's able to convince and he has the president's ear on this, what is the president going to do? >> let me stop you to change the subject and die thi do that for reason. the trump campaign manager tweeting this. time to stop obsessions. end the mueller investigation. you can't obstruct something that was phony against you. the ig report gives donald trump the truth to end it all. the campaign manager speaks to the president, right? you're hired to speak to the president? >> he does. david plough spoke for president obama. these are different times. president trump has made clear he would love to fire jeff sessions, he just hasn't done it for a variety of reasons. will he at some point? i actually think he will at some point. back to the numbers for one second. one thing i'm told by people in the white house, they believe the president can blame a lot of this on congress. just democrats' congress o

the goal for senior policy adviser stephen miller and his team is to arm trump with enough data and statistics by early september to show voters that he fulfilled his immigration promises even without a physical border wall or any other congressional measure, said one republican close to the white house. well, after the day we've had, let's bring in our leadoff panel on a monday night. msnbc correspondent mariana atencio in mcallen, texas, for us tonight. in brownsville, texas, manny fernandez, houston bureau chief for "the new york times." and here with us in new york, eli stokols, white house reporter for the l.a. times. understanding we have a bit of a satellite delay down to texas tonight, mariana, tell us how you spent your day there and the kinds of stories you're hearing. >> brian, i was a shelter run by catholic charities a couple of blocks from the ursula processing center behind me, where i just want to emphasize over 1,100 children are spending the night alone, away from their parents. these are the children's parents who were prosecuted for crossing the border illegally. but at thi

>> white house senior adviser stephen miller, congressman, reportedly called a fascist when he was at dinner. homeland security secretary nielsen accosted eating dinner, she had to leave the restaurant. >> shame, shame, shame! >> family separation! >> speaking of crass behavior, after peter fonda tweeted in port, it's horrible to read this, we should rip barron trump from his mother's arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles and see if mother still stand up to the a-hole she's married to. robert de niro using the f-word at the tony awards. are the democrats and the opposition to trump stooping too low too? >> when you separate a baby from its breast-feeding mother and put that child in a cage? you're going to see emotion in this country. and if you saw the text messages coming to me saying, congressman, what is congress doing about this? people who have never contacted me about politics before. and then i told them, the judiciary committee, we're meeting on tuesday. but it's not on this issue, it's on secretary clinton's e-mails. people are passionate. this is life or death. and peo

if you're stephen miller's waiter, you could just go to his table anno matter what he says, politelynd, "i'm sorry. i don't speak spanish." and when he says, "i'm not ni speaking s," say to the room, "does anyone speak spanish?" and when he restates, "i'm not eaking spanish," say, "n hablo espanol." m d when he screams, "i'm not speaking spanish, eaking english," i think you'll feel very satisfied.ht [ la ] [ cheers and applause ] i'm not saying i want everyone who works for trump to be kicked out every time they go to a restaurant. i justant them to worry that they will be for the entire meal. [ cheers and applause ] because that -- because that is just a taste of the unease and dread so many people feel every day because of trump's policies. on edge, looking over their shoulder. i want them to have to say thin like, "no, no, no, i ju look like corey lewandowski." laughter ] this has been "a closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] we'll be right back with chris hayes, everybody. a [ chee applause ] ♪ >> announcer: for more of seth's "closer looks" be sure to subscribe to "late night

. >>> another moment for miller, stephen miller, we were talking about him, the man who botched the travel ban decision also at the helm of this immigration decision. how senior adviser stephen miller helped craft and carry out the white house's decision to separate families. i'm ray and i quit smoking with chantix. in the movies, a lot of times, i tend to play the tough guy. but i wasn't tough enough to quit on my own. not until i tried chantix. chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. it reduced my urge to smoke to the point that i could stop. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental he

in fact, his senior advisor stephen miller has indicated they want to roll out a series of tough border security measures in the next few months to try and rally their base. on the other side, senate democratic leader chuck schumer says he wants to help the kids on the border but as blocking any legislation that would actually help the kids. he may be doing that so he can rally the democrats ahead of those midterms. what we saw today was the president reversing himself on the child's attention issue to try and make the negative headlines and images of along the border in the short term to refer a month as a battle for money to build that wall on the southern border, in the medium and long term, and play this as being tough on illegal immigration, while trying to show compassion. this executive order he cited keeps families together while in custody, speeds of their cases, and brings in the pentagon to try and help shelter. the president acknowledged house republicans last night at that emergency meeting that he knew the party was facing political pressure from the images of kids at the

the fact that stephen miller, john kelly, other folks in the white house, jeff sessions, of course, believe that this zero tolerance policy will act as a deterrent and therefore it is a good thing and should stay in place. then again you have the president saying it is bad and it is the democrats' bill. kellyanne saying nobody likes it. is it good or is it bad? it is just as basic as that that they can't seem to get down and bring forward a unified message. that's something that republican senators who i have spoken with both on and off the record have said that they are really frustrated with were this white house. sometimes they don't know where the president stands on certain things. we saw just on friday the president said he wouldn't sign the compromise bill. then white house officials came out anonymously and said he will sign it. later in the day they had to definitively put it on the record that the president will sign that compromise bill. it is very basic things like that that in past administrations have been pretty routine and notcontroversial, that have been problematic with th

steve bannon, stephen miller, the president, secretary nielsen, were all out there saying this can'ty executive order, and they were -- and in the case of bannon and miller, were both bragging about how politically great it was for the president and how this was going to rev up the republican base and people were going to love this because it's president trump being tough on the border. and that -- the features of this plan were donald trump's design. this was something donald trump wanted. he got a program out there that deliberately separated children from their parents. young children. very young children. >> wait. >> they have to go into tender -- they have to go -- >> don't interrupt each other. rick, center. >> they have to go into tender age centers. so this was a plan that donald trump executed. it was planned out by steve bannon and stephen miller and people around him. >> no. >> i'm sorry, reverend, you can't deny this. this is a truth and facts and the history of what happened. >> this has been going on for decades. >> okay, reverend scott, okay, okay. >> this is going on
