administrations. i would not say no to any president. when i think about president trump and what we accomplished in his term, especially for me as a former policy person, we ended the administration with something i didn't think i would see in my lifetime which was the abraham accords. it was the first piece deals between israel. and arab states in 26 years. they were monumental. there were just a few of us working on them. it was a very small group. it is incredibly important to me because i was pregnant with my daughter during them. mr. cuccinelli: in 2020 no less. ms. ortagus: my last trip i was 32 weeks pregnant in khartoum. when i sat at the white house for that monumental ceremony i am sure you remember and cover i thought one day i am going to have to explain to her that mom used to have two different passports when she traveled to the middle east. and that is no longer necessary because of the abraham accords. it doesn't matter which president you serve. under president obama we got osama bin laden. you can do monumental and consequential things. this is so impor

taken a look at to see how you would govern, what policies you would do in grabs a second trump administration as well. there are certainly folks down there working hard on president trump's transition. host: how does that inform your current position on immigration and what is best practices to you when it comes to immigration and border policy? guest: all of my positions and all of my views on border security and immigration enforcement and then on the legal immigration side are obviously influenced by my time at dhs. i served at the department all four years of the trump administration and in the interim served as acting secretary for the past 14 or 15 months. so my views are impacted by the discussions, the interactions and my experiences with border patrol agents, and all of those in the department and the outside of the department, interacting with those at the department of justice, state department and others on what we did during four years. so my view and how i talk about these issues come from my experience, on the ground experience in helping to run the department and trying to exe

how different do you think harris administration or trump administration would view bilateral relations with iraq? start over here. >> we've seen both administrations. we've seen fourer years of form or president trump and we know u.s. iraq relations a lot and that term. we don't expect differences in the philosophy of mostly president trump will bring either the same people or similar like minded people to the foreign policy, and yeah. there will be some changes that happen because fourer years have since president trump left office. so i think it will depending on whether people who will come to get the received the office from the current administration will admit that four years at best because we meet some people sometimes who served in iraq in 2009 or -- they still look for, you know, the same solutions that they presented then as if nothing happened between 2009 and now. we hope that there will be a fresh look at u.s. iraq relations. if trump wins. if -- vice president harris wins, then, i mean, she promised to maybe have her own administration crafted the way that she envisions

during the first trump administration. a few months away from implementing the most dramatically violent deportation policies in modern american history. trump's policies modelled on dwight d. eisenhower's racist operation wetback, just without the offensive name. but the same if not worse results. it will come as no surprise to you that homan is a project 2025 contributor. helping craft a more efficiently cruel and bloody immigration policy for donald trump's next administration. and it's not just project 2025. the trump campaign made mass deportation a rallying cry at their convention. their plans include nationwide raids, massive tent detention facilities, family detention, deportation of american citizens, militarizing the border, eliminating popular relief programs and visa categories, eventual throttling of legal immigration and killing any legal office that would assess the legality of these programs. like i said, homan and trump know how to be cruel. homan was the architect of the most repulsive child abuse program

and one unique thing from the obama administration and to the trump administration and the obama administration in these so-called pool sprays might last for a maximum of 60 seconds. and obama very disciplined. he did not like answering questions. and i think some reporters would try to get get them in once in a while with donald trump. it was completely different. and i believe that trump as far as to the media on the record probably holds the record for most minutes talking to journalists on the record. lyndon johnson would go on for hours on air force one, but it was off the record. so instead, going in for a 62nd pool spray or having an off record briefing on air one, we could in the oval office or, the cabinet room, for more than an hour, sometimes as a pool reporters asking. multiple questions to the president and also off the briefings on air force one would turn into on record briefings. so it was it was a lot of work. one of the things that i think readers will appreciate about the book i appreciated was your command of kind of the history of different administrations. they interacted

and i said i am definitely not going to write a book about the trump administration but, when i had gone out and done public speaking there was this fascination with the process and i thought that was the approach to take, i had never seen a book that had really gone into that. one of my predecessors who was a white house correspondence had written a book sort of autobiographical book about, what was it called, it was like reporting from the basement or something like that i wasn't holding back any scoops for the book which obviously some other reporters do and i guess it is a good way to make money as an author so that was sort of my approach and i also wanted to put the history in there and it was obviously part of a memoir about over the decades starting out as a young reporter in nevada reporting on the nuclear testing and learning that the government doesn't always tell the truth about things and having those experiences domestically and overseas, i think you asked a question earlier about how i prepared myself for the white house, i don't think it was anything conscious was ju

that guy's name is tom homan, during the trump administration, he was acting director of u.s. immigration and customs enforcement, better known as i.c.e. he's largely considered the architect of trump's policy to tear little kids away from their moms and dads at the border. when he says if trump comes back i come back, it's not just wishful thinking on his part. trump says publicly if he's elected to a second term, he will indeed bring tom homan back on board to effectively oversee his migration policy, the centerpiece of which is ordering the u.s. military to build camps capable of holding tens of millions of people and then using the military to go into american homes and communities and extract tens of millions of people to put in those camps and then deport them. one of if not the defining policy positions of the trump campaign this time around, camps to hold millions of people and then deporting tens of millions of people from this country. that was in fact something that tom homan bragged about this weekend at the rod of iron ministries bullet crown freedom festival. >> i

after that, that americans absolutely wholeheartedly rejected what the trump camp, what the trump administration was doing. republicans lost that midterm trump lost the election in 2020. republicans lost midterms again. in 2020 and it is something that americans will reject again, but you're right, latinos need to be reminded of this too. there has been small smidgeons of numbers of latinos that believe maybe they've looked back with rose colored glasses at what a trump administration was and none of it is true the latino community lost millions of jobs during the trump administration. latino businesses were shuttered because donald trump was incapable of dealing with a global pandemic. and then again, let's remember and what the harris campaign is doing today. he ripped babies from the arms terms of their mother as a way to try to keep them from coming here. a huge, huge, cruel, inhumane policy that he will do again, if we let him anywhere near the oval office, he has talked about having mass deportations in this country and has been there waving signs. i said mass deportations that the republi

also, the general rhetoric we've heard from the trump administration, both in the past and now on the campaign trail around social media, is very much critical of requiring the companies to do any content moderation to address ai and other types of disinformation. it's likely that you would in fact see a trump administration pressure the companies to be more hands-off on that front and follow the path that we've seen from platforms like elon musk's x. host: cat, president biden signed the executive order about a year ago. remind us what some of those provisions are. guest: the executive order effectively established a regime where the most powerful ai systems have to go through special transparency provisions and testing with the federal government. this is a process that is being led through the ai safety institute, which was also established with the ai executive order. the ai executive order also included a lot of provisions around how the federal government buys technology. using the purchasing power of the federal government to force companies to raise their standards across the

are you expecting to be part of the trump administration? isten, the main thing is he has to win first. that's my only political ambition now is to get president trump, to help him in some way on tuesday. and then we'll see. and if it happens, if he's -- if i'm fortunate to be asked it would be an honor to serve, obviously. maria: you've done such an incredible job, your firm, in terms of the research on where we are and i always come back to the issue of inflation. i want to come back to what you believe is the most important policy changes that need to be made. let's say you're part of the administration, where would your focus be. >> there's only one party that's talking about cutting spending, there's only one candidate that's talking about cutting government spending and that's donald trump and the republicans. everyone else is talking about how they can maybe give stuff away to other people and i would say on the republican side too people do that but there's only one person that's actually saying we're spending well beyond our means an

june 18, 2018 i went inside the epicenter of the policy at the invitation of the trump administrationessing center. even after i saw it with my own eyes what a judge appointed by george w. bush called one of the most shameful chapters in the history of our country i still had questions about how this could happen in the united states of america and so i wrote the book. errol morris the oscar winning film maker read the book. we decided there were still more questions to ask and to be answered. particularly at this moment as we consider the direction of immigration policy, not just for the next four years but the next generation. so we teamed up to make this movie with nbc news studios to make this an issue that no candidate, no political party can afford to avoid talking about. >> you know, jacob, this film gives an inside look at that policy through interviews with members of trump's administration. what insights could anyone share with you about how anybody thought there was decency to what was going on to something that's been called government-sanctioned child abuse. >> that's rig

between the white house and the press corps, what specifically was different about the donald trump administration with the press? what is kind of not distinct about it? >> for the first time, we had a president that was essentially acting as its own press secretary for much of the administration. the role of the press secretary became less important. also, what we would see happen, you try to figure out your agenda for the day. what is the story of what you are going to do? much of that administration in the morning meetings over the phone, with the editors, i would say that i have no idea what i am going to be reporting on today. whatever is on the agenda is going to get blown up. at 3:00 p.m., the president is going to say something. we totally learned that lesson. we had a lot of infrastructure week. you haven't heard much about the accomplishments of infrastructure week. because the president really, from a point of view from the press secretary, was stepping on his own messaging. that became the news. i know that was much to the frustration of the people in the press office. those that were

david: and any vote for a flat tax for second trump administration. >> if it comes it would come underan you not love a flat tax, low rate, broad base. david: you have been talking about it, all liberals talking about detect you detection that oil companies get, we agree. >> we a agree, one of best republican its world ran on this issue, and one of best democrat in world ran on that issue. jerry brown. >> but, in kamala harris has her own version of flat tax. top line, what did you make. second line, send it in. >> that is simple. david: a wealth tax has been tried in vari virtually every taxes in europe it has failed. >> property tax is a wealth tax. david: i think of folks who for whole life have been collect could baseball cards, they are lucky enough to have hung to some long enough to have a valuable collection. you will have irs special irs agents come to our house to value everything that you have from your gold to your baseball cards and paintings on walls, you will be tacked taxed on the value. >> autograph pictures from you. [ laughter ] david: steve moore is in real trouble.

david: going for flat tax from the second trump administration? going to come, it'll come under donald trump. >> i love it. how could you not love the plat tax. charles: talking about all the time. get for all the liberals talking about well, the deductions of the oil companies get, we agree. you shouldn't have all those. one of the best republicans and democrats ran on that issue and it's a bipartisan table issue. >> how simple is that? david: talk about the worst economy going to try and make chances and property taxes and a wealth tax and worse tax you've ever imagined and i think of possiblies for the whole life collecting baseball cards and they've always been lucky enough to have them hang onto something long muff and have a very valuable collection and you're going to have irs agents come into nor house and value everything you have from your gold to your baseball cards to the paintingings on the wall. >> you can mott tax your way to prosperity. poor people spend themselves into wealth. david: exactly. thank you, gentlemen. >> it's great to

not only left every other rich country in the world in the dust but left the record of the trump administration in the dust. literally what they call a dream economy, the best job market in the history of the united states. that is what the biden/harris administration has done in their management of the u.s. economy. is that what you base your business decision on? maybe it isn't the broad question of who does the best job with the economy or who has shown that. maybe your business decision when it comes to this election is more specific. maybe it is about the deficit. maybe you are a fiscal hawk, and that is the basis of your business decision. but here is the headline today at the wall street journal. economist say inflation and deficits will be higher under trump than harrison according to a quarterly survey by the wall street journal, most economists think inflation, interest rates and deficits would be higher into the policies former president trump would pursue in a second administration then under those proposed by vice president harris. 65% of economists see trumps proposed policies put

he covered the white house during the trump administration. i said remember the tanks?said the tanks will be back in a heartbeat. i think there is no question about that but i also think people will rise up faster. i don't know if that is for the best and i don't really want to end that way. >> does anybody have any questions? keep the questions short. >> and please introduce yourself. h. my question is around your >> i am wrong. thank you for the great interview and great talk. i would love to be a student in one ear classes. you have so much energy. my question is around, you are a social scientist and we have such a polarization in the electorate especially around the issues of climate. i heard a lot of talk about the activists which come from one path of the political spectrum, but how do you propose we build some kind of a consensus so that political and policy can move more consistently in the right direction? >> we absolutely are in a highly polarized moment. one thing i would say is that while we are very polarized, there's a very small proportion, 20 to 25% of

i think the sound approach was the trump administration approach. it was articulated quite clearly by the president in the speech of september 2017. with all of the policy changes we tried to always have something public facing. a speech by the president or by a cabinet official or to capture it in the unclassified national security strategy which was published in december 2017. >> we will turn to the audience for questions at the moment. one more question for you. there is a great debate on political science and historians when we are trying to understand national security. would should we focus on power and interest, should we focus on ideas? should we focus on character? in the book you adopt the hopelessly old-fashioned view that all three are relevant. after discussing ideas and discussing power and interest, you have some reflections about character. then you become even more old- fashioned. you tell us that the political scientists and psychologists have some ideas but you urge us to reflect on ancient wisdom of stoic philosophers. going back

. >> when he came into administration you reversed a number of trump border policies. ing back at do you regret the decision to terminate the remaining of mexico as a beginning of your administration? >> the first built practically within hours of taking the oath was a billet to fix our immigration system. >> yes, it was called the u.s. business should act f2021. it was essentially halfway to -- >> may i finish responding please? you have to let me finish. >> the white house got the house and the senate -- be when i'm responding to the point you are raising, let me finish. >> yes, ma'am,. >> wheat recognized from day one that to the point of this being your first question, it is a priority for us as a nation and for the american people. our focus has been on fixing a problem. >> jesse: this was the first time the vice president and the democrat nominee had ever had to answer for herself. she has spent more time defending herself with the bret baier then she was defending the actual border. that got personal. he want former president clinton referred to laken riley sayin

here are two former trump administration staffers and a new kamala harris campaign ad talking about how trump handled disaster relief when he was in office. >> i worked in the trump administration. >> never in 1 million years that i think i would be working in a white house with a president who did not care about the american people. >> he would suggest not giving disaster relief to states that had not voted for him. >> i remember after a wildfire in california he would not send relief because it was a democratic state, so we went as far as looking up how many votes he got in the impacted areas to show him, these are people who voted for you. this is not normal. the job of the president is to protect americans, regardless of politics. >> if trump is elected again there will be no one to stop his instincts. unchecked power, no guardrails. >> safety and security of every american first, whether they voted for her or not. >> joining me now is one of the people in that ad, olivia troy. she served as a homeland security counterterrorism advisor to mike pence during the trump administration.

national security council official under the trump administration. thank you for being with us.all, on intelligence leaks, obviously we have seen a very successful operation by israel on its own terms in recent weeks will to do you think information is secure? obviously all sites will be engaging and all sorts of counterintelligence activity. >> geeta, nice to be with you. with respect to the alleged documents that have been revealed on the pro-iranian telegram channel, that is not good news at all for the u.s. intelligence community, because those types of intelligence products and assessments are kept in very secure physical and digital environments. so it is not clear how these two documents in particular managed to get out of those controlled either digital or physical environments and show up on telegram channel. intelligence value of what they show, that is also unclear from based on whatever information was in there. the fact that they emerged in the first place is not a good news story for the u.s. intelligence. geeta: in terms of where we are now, we are two weeks out f

you might remember pam from the first trump administration, who was the architect of many of former president trump's harshest immigration policies and he basically detailed what they're planning for a next trump administration and some people have called this sort of a xenophobic fever dream. it is mass camps, huge which deportations of millions of people here illegally in this country who might have strong ties, who are not necessarily criminals definitely deporting people like the dreamers, daca recipients who were brought into this country legally as children and have been vetted and have been given permission to stay and work. some of them in the military these are very, very dramatic and draconian ideas about what is going to happen in a second, trump administration. and i think those are the things that are you know, reporting and should be getting scrutiny because if trump indeed becomes president again what we saw in the first trump administration isn't necessarily what's going to happen the second trump administration, they've had time to plan they have real very strong ideas about

and then you go full in on helping the trump administration implement. it's very harsh, you know, immigration policies. how can that not be political? so i'm also worried that living profit driven companies execute government policies can mean a clash of values. mackenzie makes the public sector more if the private sector there is a potential there for, for a clash of values. uh huh. i'm all convinced that that, but if it's, if it's so wouldn't be able to take those decisions itself. so governments also have a pretty bad record in making probably the value driven decisions. mackenzie declined to provide a comment for this video. and there's another issue that's being flagged. consultancies don't just make deals with democracies. mackenzie has consulted ukrainian oligarchy, kremlin linked russian companies and the south african government. under former president, jacob summa, one of mackenzie's and pc, g, is largest clients, saudi arabia, in 2023. the kingdom spent nearly 2000000000 euros and consulting services compared to the rest of the world. the task

let me you'll get your chance during the trump administration. the trump department of defense deployed marines for the first time since world war ii. there's a contingent of marines and norway, true or false, colonel? true? that's true. the trump administration deployed tanks to poland, true or false? >> colonel? true. during the trump administration, there were no incursions by the russians into ukraine, true or false, colonel? true. here's the latest second david, the current you are putting words in my mouth. that's not going to happen now here's what's, what really have got here. one of the key things that you have to look at is under the obama administration, the russians invaded crimea and they invaded the donbass region. that is true. yeah when you look at, you look at what woodward wrote in war, it's very clear that the biden administration, or at least biden himself thinks that was a mistake, and i agree with that assessment now, what happened during this but it wasn't trump it. hold on. hold on. what happened during the trump administra

the change agent is going back to the successful trump administration. wasn't perfect, and as vance called himself a knucklehead. i love trump but he can be a knucklehead too. we can't hold out for the perfect, we have to vote for the good and i think trump would be the good. thank you for giving me so much time. god bless america. host: ok, phil in queens. richard from virginia, republican. caller: i thought vance was very impressive, from the opening minutes and seconds, in control, giving an introduction to himself. no one knows these people or who these candidates are. he just took control, he showed he was very prepared, he was concise, on point. i liked how he fact-check to the commentators, i thought that was interesting. one color gave him a c, i thought it was an a. maybe he was shellshocked from the questions or the bright lights or whatever, but vance really impressed me. host: what did you think when the moderators cut the mics? caller: that had to happen, sometimes they can get into each other little bit as far as debates go. they showed a l

going chapter by chapter through project 2025, the right-wing plan for a potential second trump administrationt would be important to remind ourselves about the dangerous policies that donald trump is already implemented the first time he was president and how he would do it again. so is trump campaign declares that america's quote, occupied by immigrants and promises in liberation day of mass deportation, that is not just rhetoric and fear mongering. it is important that we believe him the first time. and when it comes to immigration policy, the cruelty is the point. let's re-examine perhaps the cruelest trump era immigration policy, child separation. or is the trump administration called it, zero tolerance. then attorney general jeff sessions announced the policy and san diego in dry legalese. every adult across the southwestern border illegally would face execution and attention, which meant that they came with children, those children had to be taken elsewhere. in public facing rhetoric, sessions and the rest of trump's white house would suggest child separation was a byproduct of their ze

because people were coming to protest donald trump and his administration. so it was very lucky i was there. it made sense. but what i did is i traced the people who are in the streets, surveyed them, and then tracked them and how they got involved in other kinds of activations and engagements. and if they peeled off to focus on specific issues or if they were engaged in kind of an intersectional array of issues that were motivating them, which is what they were showing me and telling me when they were on the streets. what is very interesting is from that research -- and i talk about this at length in my last book -- it is very clear the way organizational infrastructure is extremely necessary. what i mean by that is groups who actually do the work of mobilizing people and getting them to do things besides just marching on one saturday in september. right? you need to do other things besides just marching once. you need to be involved in and embedded in your community. so i talked a lot about this in the last book. becoming an activist involves a lot more th

you might remember him from the first trump administration, who was the architect of many of former president trump's harshest immigration policies. and he basically detailed what they're planning for a next trump administration. and, some people have called this sort of a xenophobic fever dream it is mass camps, huge deal petitions of millions of people here illegally in this country who might have strong ties, who are not necessarily criminals definitely deporting people like the dreamers, daca recipients who were brought into this country legally as children and have been vetted and have been given permission to stay and work. some of them in the military. i mean, these are so very, very dramatic and draconian ideas about what is going to happen in a second trump administration. and i think those are the things that are reporting and should be getting scrutiny because if trump indeed becomes president, again what we saw in the first trump administration isn't necessarily what's going to happen in a second. and trump administration, they've had time to plan and they have real, very strong i

new bought in new trump administration, and the bottom administration is very good. that's a very good point. the future very much. i'm looking like the past. sometimes he doesn't use terry shows on the story for us tonight in brussels. very think it's estimated that more than a 1000000 people in living non have been displaced is, is real intensified it's a tax on hezbollah inside the country. and that's about 20 percent of the population and that includes thousands of foreign workers who are suddenly without a job and without a roof over their heads w's. they re bureau chief mohammed traitor, has more to this mixture of soup kitchen, serving food, 200 rubles migrant workers in war tone lip and on my raw is preparing the next piece just outside her restaurant, dress muddy. yes, near be root. she herself is a migrant worker from the philippines, but she's here as a volunteer to help others in the migrant community. government schools are offering a shelter for people, but my grants are not allowed. so most often my guys are in just in the state. if they don't have to

before the constitution. >> i'm talking about general mattis, also secretary of defense in trump's administration. i'm talking about mark esper, the secretary of defense, who told me that trump does have fascistic tendencies. john bolton, hr mcmaster, single one, alyssa farah-griffin, a jre every trump, administration official, you know, one reason why kamala harris doesn't have as many people criticizing her is because she doesn't fire people who fail that's why we haven't had a real audit of the disastrous afghanistan withdrawal is because kamala harris protects failures in government. donald trump fires them, and i'd much rather have the president who fires people who screwed trump. now jake, this is an important point, fire my kamala harris, who did not fire my kamala harris did not find her pressed. mark milley, i'm only harris did not fire general. john. >> he fired a lot of those people, jake and he did because they weren't doing their job. but this is the thing jake, we've now spent. yeah five minutes i'm talking about people and donald trump's staff. we think he's not fit for office if s

new button, new trump administration, and the biden administration is very good. that's a very good point. the future very much, i'm looking like the past. sometimes the w is terry show, it's on the story for us tonight in brussels. terry think it's estimated that more than a 1000000 people in living non have been displaced is, is real intensified. it's a tax on hezbollah inside the country, and that's about 20 percent of the population. and that includes thousands of foreign workers who are suddenly without a job and without a roof over their heads. the w's, they re bureau chief mohammed traitor, has this mixture of soup, kitchen, surfing food, to fundable, migrant workers in war tone lip. and on to my right is preparing the next theme just outside her restaurant. trust somebody. yes. nearby boot. she herself is a migrant worker. from the philippines, but she's here as a volunteer to help others in the migrant community. governments. schools are offering a shelter for people, but my grants are not allowed. so most often my grants are in just in the state. if they

and you give an account which identifies achievements of trump and the trump administration and flaws, mistakes, defects. you use this wonderful term when you are envisaging the possibility of a second trump administration. and you say that the key will be whether trump can avoid being the antagonist of his own story. can you say more about what that meant? antagonist of his own story. how that receives expression. some highlights of how he was the antagonist of his own story? >> i told a number of stories in the book about how president trump was disruptive. he was in many ways channeling the desires of his supporters to really go after, no offense to anybody here, the swamp. and many americans felt they had abandoned them. unchecked globalization, jobs and manufacturing, left a lot of americans behind in those transitions in the global economy. the financial crisis, a lot of traumas that i think generated a lot of support for a disruptor. that is what president trump came here as a disruptor. in many cases, his disruptive nature was very beneficial and he would ask questions that wo

and so, well, this was something that really was an, an issue in the trump administration. in fact, the us threatened to cut off intelligence sharing with europe. if they didn't stop using walk away phones, for example. yeah. so, so this may actually improve transatlantic ties. it because it puts them more on the same page. and let's point out is the bite and administration that put a 100 percent terrace on ease. it's not the trump administration, so in fact, there may be less of a difference between a potential new bought in new trump administration, and the bottom administration is very good as a very good point. the future very much. i'm looking like the past. sometimes he doesn't use terry schultz on the story for us tonight in brussels. terry think it's estimated that more than a 1000000 people in lebanon and have been displaced since is real intensified. it's a tax on hezbollah inside the country, and that's about 20 percent of the population. and that includes thousands of foreign workers who are suddenly without a job and without a roof over their heads w's. they re

for example, folks who, i you know, i spoke to them many, many times during trump administration when they were being involved in activism then and all were like, we're, you know, we're not going to get you know, we're not getting arrested, not doing anything. it's not legal. we're going to follow the rules. we're working through the system. we're going to work through, you know, institutional politics, electoral. and that's that's what we're doing. and many of the leaders, those organizations at this point have at least been arrested once and have chosen to start being, you know, engaging in nonviolent disobedience. okay. so we're going to break for questions in about 10 minutes. but you know, just to ask a couple of final questions of you, you describe an incident involving a group called fall or rising, a kind of tomato soup and, a fun golf painting. what happened there and what was kind of the global response from the oh, the tornado toss heard round the world. okay. so so i should have for details here. so basically everybody knows about when the soup was thrown in at a painting.

here are two farmer trump administration staffers in a new kamala harris campaign ad talkingla about how trump handl disaster relief when he was in office. >> i worked in the trump administration. >> never in a t million years d i ever think i'd be working in the white house with a president that didn't caree about the american people. >> he would suggest not giving disaster relief to states that hadn't voted for him. >> i remember one time after a wildfire in california he wouldn't sendn relief because was a democratic state. so we went so far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas to show him these are people whoim voted for you. this isn't normal. i the job of the president is to protect americans regardless of politics. >> if trump's elected again, there'll be no one to stop his worst instincts. he'll and yes man implement his 2025n agenda, unchecked power d noed guardrails. >> they will be serving one man. i amon voting for kamala harris because she will put the safety of every american first whether they voted for her or not. >> joining me now is one of the

community living it first hand was moments of true crisis that were happening throughout the trump administration were disregarded at times. putting aside the greater good of the american people because trump was playing partisan politics. in situations where normally we would be united in a country supporting americans in need. what we saw was donald trump, at times, he would have disaster, major disaster declarations sitting on his desk for days and we would have to strategize how to get the relief to communities. i point this out alex because people need to understand the president is solely responsible for approving it. the governor of the state can request them and it goes through a process of the fema regional office and makes it through the process up. ultimately it is the president that signs off on them. i am telling you, numerous times i got phone calls from the head of fema, the head of dhs, congress men, people on the hill asking where is that relief? where is that disaster declaration? when is he going to sign it? i would go to mike pence and say hey, we need your help, we meade to w
