trafficking divisions in police departments across this twotry are maybe one or people and they're understaffed theynderfinanced and so really are -- when we first went in, we were looking at the tools they wereusing and going into chatrooms and trying to strike of conversations with traffickers or trafficking victims in order to get leads on investigation. we saw -- and specifically relative to minors, that if we a platform or a tool that helped them prioritize byir case load, understanding what we call maturity score of the victim, we help get the victims as early as possible out of the young as possible out of the system first. so we've created this prioritization tool. i'd be happy to show you spotlight at some point in time. i don't want to reveal too much about it because i don't want to risk the enduring power of the platform but we helped them prioritize their case load and what we're doing is just taking this internet, which largely anonymous in many ways, and making it far less anonymous. track victims as they get trafficked across state lines. haven create -- we investigation tools t

anybody as a >> and so you have a scenario where they are understaffed in terms of experience. those who are there are just jockeying for position while the world operates without united states interference. the administration has been dedicated to these broad, large-scale, domestic policies which they are try to affect with the muslim band and the raise that's rates that began over the weekend. but where do we fit in the world where we are not waiting for ?onald tram -- donald trump it goes to hell in a handbasket. the focus of the administration seems to be, who is going to be that principle? who is going to be the adult that he listens to. even the half focus on the rest the world is in itself divided in half again. it is madness. that isther thing amazing, having working four presidencies, we are now in our 22nd day. the staff has to be buried. thes had heads of state as good today and yesterday. yet all of these initiatives. it all gets lost in the cycle. when he appointed the spring -- supreme court justice, that should've been the story of the week. it should have been p

sandwich.o a "s" trump's search for a flynn's replacement comes as the white house remains dramatically understaffed. a new york times investigation reports trump has struggled not only to fill his cabinet -- with six members still unconfirmed -- but also to fill the important positions of deputy secretary, undersecretaries and assistant , secretaries for most agencies. the times reports one of the key barriers is that trump has been vetoing new people -- and even firing existing officials -- who have been at all critical of him. on friday, for example, craig deare, the recently appointed head the national security council's western hemisphere division, was fired and marched out of his office less than 24 hours after he criticized trump's rocky diplomacy on latin america during a private talk at the wilson center in washington, d.c. deare is one of six top officials within the state department who have been fired recently over concerns about loyalty. trump's two sons, eric trump and donald trump, jr., attended the grand opening of the trump international golf club in dubai saturday night, alongside

your nominee -- >> well, only four or five be moving parts, it can be fine-tuned, but they're understaffede the people in place to organize a support for somebody like andy puzder, and that shows the inherent weaknesses of not putting the government together -- >> i insert some sunshine into this doom and gloom? alex acosta is a very accomplished guy, he's been confirmed by the senate three times. he effectively neuters every attack senator elizabeth warren is going to levy at him because he has prosecuted the banks she hates and has been endorsed by groups like la raza on the left that she adores. i don't think he's going to have trouble getting confirmed, and i think he will be just as pro-market and profree market, rather, as puzder would have been. paul: yeah, i know alex acosta, and i think he's a very good choice, alicia. >> i would agree. i think the iron think is he's also been -- the irony he's also been supportive to immigrant rights. so the restrictionist right did not proclaim victory here. paul: all right. thank you very much. still ahead, the fight for the future of the democ
