they had this headline, from tiananmen square to lafayette square, then we found out the inspector generald they love these analogies. but he thinks 50,000 people are going to show up to protest mass deportation, including moms? we have heard this before. moms were supposedly only talking about abortion at the kitchen table. they were going to show up and vote for kamala. did not happen. trump won suburban white women out right and then this happens in his backyard. you have the colorado gazette internal emails showing venezuelan gang tren de aragua i'd denver for the u.s. headquarters. tren de aragua says let's go see mary johnson, he'll give a safe harbor. according to the gazette, they've denied this, but that's happening in your streets and you say it is tiananmen square to export and deport these people? crazy. >> emily: it's the new gotham city, dagen. the people he's referencing that he thinks he understands even though they voted opposite have been crying about the lack of resources that have been wasted on these illegal immigrants, especially in the emergency health care system wh

of unrest is the greatest challenge the communist party has had to face. >> the momentum on tiananmen squareence is just hearing people's voice, yeah, from everywhere. >> smith: zhou fengsuo was a student leader during the tiananmen protests. he was among the first to enter the square. >> we want to have a dialogue with the communist government, and i think at that time, there was a real chance, because the party has positioned itself, after the cultural revolution, in the way of, you know, open and reform. >> (chanting in mandarin): >> so you feel like there's freedom in the air on tiananmen square. >> (singing national anthem): >> i was on tiananmen square at the night of june 4. we were all standing like clusters, talking to each other. and suddenly, there was a guy standing there, and he fell backwards. and we didn't hear anything, so, you know, we're all stunned. and, and everybody thought, "oh, it must be rubber bullets," until we saw that he's not waking up, and he, there is a, like, a ol of blood or something from his neck. (guns firing) >> tanks are rolling in, down the main thoroug

it is not defense of sovereignty, but indictment of his repression from the tiananmen square massacre to the balancing of hong kong's road democracy movement and the internment of millions of uighurs. the record is one of systematic oppression. his paranoia stems from a well-founded fear of his own people. the stifling censorship to the absence of basic freedoms by branding democracy and human rights as foreign impositions. he seeks to delegitimize the universal principles ensuring that his regime remains unchallenged. he writes this tactic, however, is failing. the world increasingly sees china not as a sovereign defender, but as a regime desperate to silence the voices of its own people. would you agree? guest: i have to agree and i think if you watch the documentary, you will see what this author is saying played out in pictures and in witness testimony, in many cases very painful testimony given in the documentary. so you will see this play out. i think one of the things that you have to understand about xi xinping is that he watched the fall of the soviet union and he became very

after the tiananmen square massacre, jimmy lai founded hong kong's "apple daily", a popular tabloid with a pro- democracy editorial stance. in 2019, as protests escalated , jimmy lai visited the white house. his criticism of beijing and support for protests maintain a target. now 77, jimmy lai had spent nearly 4 years in jail and faces life in prison under hong kong's so-called national security law. >> prepare for the worst. if the worst comes, that means the most effective way i can bring the world's attention to hong kong. >> this week, lai took the stand in his own defense, just one day after a hong kong court sentenced 45 pro- democracy activist up to 20 years. what do jimmy lai's son sebastien lai and attorney jonathan price say now? >> firing line with margaret hoover is made possible in part by rapid query, vanessa and henry coell, the fair-weather foundation, and by the following. corporate funding is provided by stephens inc. . >> sebastien lai and jonathan price, welcome to firing line. >> thank you for having us. >> you have described your father as a man who "embodies hong k

you don't know what tiananmen square is about. >> are the democrats going to find their footing on thisharold? >> good to be back with everybody. i hope everybody had a good weekend. i would say a couple of things. who the mayor of denver whom i don't know, the new designated boards are what they sound like they are additioning for clint eastwood to be. i agree with the judge. the heartbreaking to watch that child, the 2-year-old. there is a lot of blame to go around. one of the things to get to your question needs to recognize is that there is not an issue other than inflation, working-class americans that resonates more with them that they understand better as a working-class issue than the border. one of the reasons the numbers are rising, the number of americans on a cross-section of americans, democrat and republican alike who are in favor of some sort of deportations is because there are many americans. i'm living paycheck to paycheck struggling to afford to live. my tax dollars are supporting illegal immigrants coming to our country. i am compassionate. i can understand why we ar

from tiananmen square in 1989 to the covid lockdown protests of 2022.ge organized students gatherings rattled their nerves, even if participant insist they're not political. it also happened in shanghai, the site of huge halloween celebrations last year. this year, heavy crowd control. police escorting away plenty of people in halloween costumes, one of the most conspicuous, president donald trump. >> so they're censoring us again, erin, as you can see from a live picture in beijing. it's not surprising. the imagery in this piece, particularly the students on bicycles, it's reminiscent of perhaps the spring of 1989 when students rode their bikes to tiananmen square. and we know how that ended with a massive government crackdown. it's shocking because the government initially rushed to promote this trend. they were excited to see students out there having fun, going to get the delicious soup dumplings. when it got too big, too popular, we have this. >> thank you very much. thanks to all of you for joining us.

this will be our tiananmen square moment. do you see that happening? >> so i think very much depends on exactly what the federal government tries to do. not just in denver. i think if the federal government does what i expect. they will come after people who committed crimes while they were in america and i read on fox news's website this morning nearly a million half illegal aliens who have already been adjudicated as to be deported. that will take all of ice's time for quite a while, a year, two years, who knows how long. if the feds are just doing that it will be very difficult to see what there is to protest against. if the left -- ice agents coming through to deport people who have been here for a long time i do think you would have many thousands of protestors but i don't think it will play out that way. >> dana: tom homan has said as much. if somebody has been designated, someone who needs to be deported, following the law and deporting them is not illegal and it is not a violation of their rights. it is what the law is telling them to do. wante

they remember 1989, they remember tiananmen square. in shanghai with the halloween celebrations. police lined the road, and many halloween parties were cancelled. many people in costumes were told to go home. there is an extreme nervousness when young people gather. and the second thing really is generation z in china are experiencing a reshaping of the chinese dream. they were told for years that if you worked hard, if you studied hard, there would be a job at the end of it. that�*s not necessarily the case any more. around i9% of young people are the latest figures, showing that they are facing unemployment. that�*s nearlyi in 5 of under 24—year—olds. so now they�*re trying to find a different way to confront their future, a future that they�*ve not prepared for. and how they do that may very well shape the future of the world�*s second—largest economy. hello. after the very gloomy conditions of the last couple of weeks, things have started to brighten upjust a little bit. we are going to see some sunshine through the rest of this we

. >> jesse: when they say you are going to see tiananmen square like resistance, what does that mean? i.c.e. agents are going to show up to denver and get into a mexican standoff with the local sheriff. liberals are going to stand in front of ice vans to protect illegal from getting picked up and flown home? i.c.e. agents aren't calling the mayor of denver and saying we are coming to this street tomorrow at 7:00 to round up the biden migrants it's not happening that way. these federal fugitive teams are going to show up whenever they want and local liberals aren't going to have a clue. no one is stopping that. republicans have the will of the people at their back. and walking around with a new confidence. the squad tried to get smart at a hearing yesterday and clay higgins full her what time it is. >> please keep dr. martin luther king jr.'s name out of your mouth. your perversion of his words and his mission when his children have asked you to stop invoking his name and perverting his work when he was up proud and unapologetic black man. i'm not surprised that you would deny american

"it is like the tiananmen square moment." i talked to tom homan about that.to believe that any elected official whether you are american intercommunal and public safety threats out of your community? why wouldn't you work with us and remove public safety threats out of your community? why wouldn't you work with us to remove national security threats out of your country? that is ridiculous. >> martha: we went into a deep dive and wedding plans to do as border czar and what will be his first line of absent when he gets into that job. really interesting conversation. where his philosophy and approach come from. that is the untold story podcast. tune into that wherever you get your podcasts. with that, we bring in republican commissioner who has offered 1400 acres of texas land for "deportation facilities." great to have you with us today. thank you very much for joining me. >> it is a pleasure to be on with you. thanks for having me on. >> martha: i spoke with mr. tom homan about this. he said we absolutely need this kind of space even for a temporary holding fo

at the county line to help keep them out, it would have 50,000 member rights there and like tiananmen squaresh to mark have every one of those moms come out for the migrants and you do not want to mess with them. yesterday, this is what happened when local reporter followed up with the mayor and the mayor getting into an suv. he closes the door and they drive away. they are telling denver, the will maintain sanctuary sadie status, john. >> john: the latest from los angeles. >> how are you so wealthy, is a call for questioning. >> no, but is genetics, i believe. i look at sports as microcosm and it is fast. you win or you lose. with other things like what i do it takes years to determine if somebody a winner. a bad shooter would hit you from that distance 100% of the time here to that is pretty good. here i am we are doing this one on that wonderful interview with. >> sandra: doesn't trump making rounds on podcast and leading up to the election but the tactic possibly winning the younger vote or middle think they younger vote to trump's side. a survey showing 18-44 supported trump. jimmy fail

he believes that tens of thousands of denver residents would block deportation efforts in a tiananmen square so the laken riley murder and the horrific trial we watched this week is not enough for them. joining me now is congresswoman beth van duyne. congresswoman, your reaction? >> you know, look, i have to ask mayor mike, what kind of special stupid are you not to recognize what's happening in your city? just down the street in aurora, colorado, you had an apartment complex that was taken over by these vei venezuelan gang membes who are in the country illegally. they were harassing, they were terrorizing the residents there. look at the city in dallas where you have venezuelan gangs illegally here, criminal illegal aliens who went to a woman's house, kidnapped her in her garage, violently beat her and they're in our country illegally. look at what happened to laken riley, another venezuelan criminal, illegal alien in our country illegally and you had to listen to her fight for her life as she was beaten and strangled and murdered. these are the kind of people these mayors and these governo

department at the county line to keep them out and you would have 50,000 denver rights and that tiananmen squaregun. everyone of those moms who came out for the migrants. and you do not want to mess with them. really? you think a lot of those moms like the laken riley trail my daughter stays in danger mark and you see what is allowed to happen to sanctuary city per capita? the most overrun city with immigrants in the country! and this guy is standing behind it. you talk to him. >> lawrence: steve, we talked to the mayor a few months ago and i had a great interview. we were confused and actually reach to come on the program again and hopefully he will come on tomorrow and explain because he told us this before. it looks like he changed his position. watch. >> at what point does your city reach its breaking point questioning. >> i think our city is pretty close to its breaking point now. we talk to leaders in d.c. around the country why they didn't take action. i think we had success rewelcomed 40,000 miners and we know what this takes to do successfully and we need federal dollars but the most im

it's like the tiananmen square moment with the rows and the gun, right?ryone of those moms who came out for the migrants, and you did not want to mess with them. how do you respond to that from the denver mayor? >> look, it is foolish. you are putting the security of your community at risk by -- especially when they are talking but people i.c.e. is going to go get from the jails, from the county jails all across the country. it is going to be targeted enforcement at first, so when you are talking about protecting criminals, criminals that have committed a multitude of crimes across the country, what does that say to your constituency? i seriously doubt the constituency there is going to support some thing like this, especially when i.c.e. officers under president trump are coming into take these criminals out of our country. they should have never been here in the first place. i would hope that he was able to pay attention to the criminal trial for the killer of laken riley, to see everything that their family went through. those crimes shouldn't be happe

deport them, pu on a path for removal, and he wants to compare it to the freedom fighters in tiananmen squareest to him very specifically, he should resign right away and get on a path to being an activist in denver, because he is not serving the men and women of colorado or to oden very or the united states. -- or denver. the consequence of getting in the way of the arrests of illegal gang members in the united states is countrywide. it's not focused on denver, it's not focused on these big cities. we are all at risk from this very vicious gang, and my recommendation also to the trump administration, this gang is very vulnerable to the events of removal. if they're safely arrested and put on a path to deportation, we will decimate their numbers very quickly in the united states because they have no status here. and, oh, by the way, to do we need another transnational criminal organization in the united states? we've got plenty of ms-13, plenty of mafia and other gangs in the u.s., and so -- david: we've already got them here. frankly, it's too -- a lot of people would think it's too late. th

it's like the tiananmen square moment with the rose and the gun. perhaps not analogous, but homan has threatened to throw mayor johnson in jail if he tries to step in. and tonight, mayor johnson, while he's responding right here on cnn if they want to focus on violent criminals we would be happy to help support pursuing, arresting and deporting them if they are going to send the u.s. army or the navy seals into denver to pursue folks, to pull them off the job at hotels or restaurants where they're working, or pull kids off the soccer field, i think we will see denverites and folks around the country who will nonviolently resist that. now, to be clear, the mayor backtracked from his original suggestion about sending in cops. he is now just talking about citizens nonviolently nonviolently resisting he's also making a distinction between criminals and people who are here illegally, but are contributing to society. now this looming shutdown over deportations, well, it all comes as trump puts another ball in the air with a similar goal his day one promi

it's like the tiananmen square moment with the rose and the gun homan firing back on fox news me and the denver mayor, we agree on one thing. >> he's willing to go to jail. >> i'm willing to put him in jail. we're going to enforce the law period. and they're not going to stop us. >> all right joining me now, the denver mayor, mike johnston. so mayor johnston, you heard what he said. you got something in common. you're willing to go to jail. he's willing to put you there. he says he's going to enforce the law. are you willing to go to jail over this you know, i think there are thoughtful ways to solve this problem if they want to focus on violent criminals, we would be happy to help support pursuing, arresting and deporting them. >> we've helped past administrations. we do that again if they want to focus on adding more judicial capacity. so folks with asylum claims can have their cases heard more quickly, we would support that. well, we're not going to do is support deploying 101st airborne into american cities to pull ten year old kids out of their classrooms and handcuffs. i think

to the 1989 tiananmen square protests in china. that is a bold prediction.ies like los angeles and chicago are bracing for those same mass deportation operations into the new administration. and mayor karen bass, you know, saying this moment demands urgency after city council there reaffirmed its sanctuary cities as the governor of illinois, jb pritzker. also a democrat saying earlier this week he is deeply concerned and question whether the version of the ice, it's even has the authority to do so. they're 2 different provisions of the act that authorizes the use of the national guard. >>title 10 title. 32 and yeah, he doesn't have and are either one of those the ability to call the national guard out again in the united states of america. so there's a question of authority. president elect donald trump vowed to start deportation efforts on day one. we've heard that repeatedly as plan aims to target estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the united states. trump's border czar tom homan says federal agents are going to carry out their duties. ricard

if you think what was happening around that time, right after the tiananmen square crackdown in 1989were feeling unnerved about investing here. now, on top of all that, you throw in the uncertainty about the potential for steep tariffs under president-elect donald trump. ubs, in fact, decided to cut the 2025 china growth outlook to around 4%. guys. >> eunice, just thinking about how all of this is playing post-u.s. election, obviously, every other nation in the world is trying to figure out what this means to them. how does that overpaying of everything play into what you think you're seeing with china's reaction on the economic front? they have to be thinking about that very deeply. >> reporter: yeah, no, people are thinking about it very deeply from the government level and corporate level and manufacturers are concerned about the steep tariffs and, of course, the policymakers here are also expressing some concern as well and some caution, i would say. in terms of the overarching feeling, is people are just waiting to see whether or not president-elect trump is going to push ahead
