3:02 pm
>> of. >> affection. >> expressing their fealty to him. i don't know if you guys saw this. it probably got buried in the headlines, not getting a lot of attention. i just want to read for you what some house republicans are trying to do this year. they've proposed eight bills since january. that's what they've been preoccupied with, eight bills since january to honor the president, among other things, put trump's portrait on a us currency, carve out his face into mount rushmore, rename washington dulles international airport after him, make his birthday a national holiday. you've got two bills introduced by marjorie taylor greene, calling for the house to expunge trump's impeachment in 2019 and 2021. so this is where we are in america with what members of congress want to do, all to pay fealty to the dear leader. >> i kind of like the $250 bill. >> idea only. >> because i want one. well, trump is really into. >> crypto, right? so like. >> how is he going to feel. about having hard currency with his face on it? i mean, he seems to like anything with his face on. >> it or his name. >> or his name, but it is a
3:03 pm
little bit funny. >> to me that. >> he seems to have moved away from hard currency and toward meme coins. >> well. >> his his likeness, his. >> name, but also. >> his number. bloomberg's jason leopold, who's like a foia warrior, a reported days. >> ago that the. >> air force he found in documents. >> was a little. >> bit taken. >> aback by hearing that the next generation of fighter. jets is going to be labeled the f 47. yeah, the last one was f 22, so some would have thought the next would have been 23. yeah, but 47. >> so just. >> a coincidence. >> it's just a coincidence. we're not totally. >> sure yet. but what what it says really quickly is that there is a way to the president's attention through flattery. and that's scary because it's not it's not just happening domestically. i mean, we saw pakistan this week say that they are nominating donald trump for the nobel peace prize. i mean, put aside just how ridiculous it sounds that the man who has promised to end wars and potentially starting a third war, world war, right now in the
3:04 pm
middle east is somehow going to be nominated for a peace prize. but the reality of it is people have realized that if you want the president's attention or perhaps him to kind of bless you with his grace, the best way to do it is through flattery. nominated for a prize or a jet or, you know, put his name on a dollar bill or put him in mount rushmore. it's a sad state of affairs to see that this is what the office of the presidency has become. you know, lots to get to. we're going to get into that and a whole lot more. but we want to turn now to our top story, as we mentioned there in the setup, donald trump is set to receive an intelligence briefing from his national security council within the hour. this comes, of course, as the conflict between israel and iran escalates into day nine, with both countries exchanging strikes throughout the day. nbc news is also reporting that the united states has now moved b-2 bombers into guam. planes that could carry those infamous 30,000 bunker buster bombs that trump is considering using
3:05 pm
against iran and its underground nuclear facilities. meantime, the white house announced thursday that trump is giving himself two weeks to decide whether or not to join israel's unprovoked war against iran to eliminate its nuclear program. now, as he weighs the implications of possibly dragging the u.s. into war, nbc news reports that trump is relying on a small inner circle to make these decisions. he's also crowdsourcing it using an array of allies outside the white house and in his administration about whether they think iran should be struck, seemingly not included in that circle. defense secretary pete hegseth and director of national intelligence tulsi gabbard. and just yesterday, trump implied that his intelligence community is wrong about iran's nuclear capabilities. for the second time this week. take a listen. >> what intelligence do you have that iran is building a nuclear weapon? your intelligence community has said they have no
3:06 pm
evidence that they are at this point. >> well. >> then my intelligence community is wrong. who in the intelligence community said that. >> your director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard. >> she's wrong. >> and as tensions rise, republicans and maga world remain split on how america should and shouldn't get involved. >> if iran gets a nuclear. >> weapon, i think the odds are. unacceptably high. >> that we would find out. >> with a mushroom cloud. >> the american. >> people have been brainwashed into, into believing that america has to engage in these foreign wars. >> we most certainly. >> need to have. regime change in iran. the bush era doctrine. >> of regime change wars in the middle east is foolish. >> we've got a chance to end the threat to the state of israel forever by replacing this. regime with something better. >> the same credit fox. >> all weekend. >> has been sounding the war toxins. >> now we have to. >> make decisions. >> that put america first. >> this is good. >> versus evil. you're either. >> a patriotic american who's. >> going. to get.
3:07 pm
>> behind the. >> president of the united states, the commander. >> in chief, or you're not. >> joining us now, republican strategist and msnbc political analyst susan del percio. susan, it's great to have you on the show. i never thought that i would be agreeing with some parts of the republican party, but i guess even a broken clock is correct twice a day. i have to say, it's a bit strange to hear a staunchly anti-war voice, if you will, that is coming out from the republican party, and it makes you wonder, who do you think will ultimately have the president's ear when you see some of these kind of strong maga voices? the steve bannon's the tucker carlson's in one camp trying to get the president not to go to war, not to go into regime change. but at the same time, you have others, like mark levin saying, hey, do your part, get behind the president, let's go to war on behalf of israel. >> yeah, i think the only. >> voice that donald trump is really going to listen to is the one on. >> one side of. >> the shoulder or the other. >> do i do it? >> do i not.
3:08 pm
>> do it? >> he's just going to keep going back and forth. and the reason i say that, i think the. >> decision. >> whatever anyone's saying out there in the universe doesn't work with donald trump. he he likes to make these decisions himself. he truly believes he knows better and take that for what you will. the day, the question for him is will he be look really strong idea of iran having a nuclear weapon? can he finally be the one to do that? presidents who haven't been and again, given his age and everything, that would be a big deal for him. or on the other hand, does he want to get that peace prize? >> well, we know we know what. >> those are. no, i really. >> do the cards. >> i honestly think he believes that i could be great for doing one thing or the other. >> and it might not really be in the cards, but he definitely wants it. >> he definitely. >> wants it. and if he. >> could, it's in his head. >> and in his mind. even if he thinks he could end the, you know, stop israel from going further and say, we're not
3:09 pm
putting troops on the ground no more forever wars. you know, the problem with trump and the people who are trying to get into his good graces, as you mentioned in the beginning, is that donald trump just has no core values. and when you're a politician with no core values, it means you change your mind a lot. so it leaves those supporters out there. they could go either way because trump goes either way. >> what do you make of the. >> two week timeline that we keep hearing now from the president that he's going to use to decide whether he's going to go in or not? is that a useful timeline? do you buy there is a real timeline at all here. >> i mean, i'm going to go obviously not as a military expert, but through a political lens. a part of me thinks that a that's his crutch. that's something he always goes to. it's always two weeks for anything. but also don't be surprised if he was to make a decision tonight. and i believe that is in the cards. he can make an immediate and say that was part of my plan. there's been a lot of discussion. can
3:10 pm
one strike and the conversation on. >> well the consensus is no. i mean even israelis will tell yo, yes, you can set back iran's nuclear program and yes, by destroying fordow. there's some that are saying the centrifuges have already been removed out of fordow, so destroying it doesn't actually set the program back. and actually attacking the facility is going to convince the iranians, okay, now we have to get a bomb because it's going to be the only way we can preserve this regime. >> because donald trump only wants to do it once. he doesn't want to put troops on the ground. he doesn't want to. i think if he could be the savior, he would go that way and he would do it as soon as possible. i think to your question, he needs those two weeks to figure out how to make the best play. also, during these two weeks, let's not forget he may be looking to rally his base and get people behind him because that big, beautiful bill that they talk about is coming up in two weeks for passage. that's the deadline and it is losing more support every day. >> so can i ask you something. about something that eamon
3:11 pm
talked. >> about. >> earlier, that apparently the defense secretary and the dni have both been cut out of these conversations, and donald trump. seemed to publicly contradict what. >> his dni, tulsi gabbard, has. >> said to congress. what should we make of that? because on the one hand, it seems like these. >> are. >> supposed to be very important positions within any administration. >> on the. >> other hand, both of these people, at least in my view, are manifestly unqualified for. those jobs. so i don't know who you know. is it a good thing or a bad thing that they are not in the loop here? >> operationally? i think it's a very good thing. i don't think their voices would contribute anything meaningful. i don't think that pick has has. this was qualified to hold that post. and i think, you know, just off the bat, i mean. >> you're saying it's more because of who pete hegseth is, as opposed to the fact that the defense department is being excluded. you think there are other there are other ways. >> i believe, from what i've heard, there are folks from the defense department that do have
3:12 pm
the president's ear. i think we even saw one name up there. it escapes me when kerala. i think it was. >> yeah. well, if you look, there was a profile recently from politico about this general kerala. >> right. we have the chart up. yeah. >> oh yeah. and you know it's not. really clear. >> look, he's a. >> decorated general. i'm sure he has a lot of accomplishments under his belt, but it. >> doesn't seem like. >> that has anything to do. >> with why donald. >> trump is paying attention to him. there was an. >> unsourced. >> anonymous quote in that. political article, politico article basically explaining that trump was interested in him because, quote, he's got the look of the general that both hegseth and trump. are looking for. so the former official, he's a big dude. he's. he's exactly this lethality look they're going for. so to me that doesn't indicate that expertise. >> i'm not going. >> to. >> know i. >> don't. >> know credentials. and his service to the country, at least he has versus some of the other folks in the room, frankly. so at the end of the day, donald
3:13 pm
trump will listen to himself. i know i sound like a broken record on this, but he wants the voices to, to verify what he wants to do. he needs that. he needs that that the boast from those folks in the room saying you're making the right choice. >> but at the end of the day, he does seem to kind of come back to his core audience, the, the, the folks whom he feeds red meat. >> and he wants to be loved, right? like he wants to. yeah, that's what. >> those are people. >> who are. >> in large part, part of this antiwar coalition. and it's also part of why tulsi gabbard was elevated to the position now at dni. democrats were, of course, very concerned about her, but a lot of. >> republicans brought. >> her. >> into the. >> fold because she was going to take positions exactly like the one that she has at least allegedly taken now, that's pushed her out of the inner circle very suddenly. but at the end of the day, do you think the that core base is going to win out here because of what they represent to trump's political prospects? the core base.
3:14 pm
>> will. >> stay with donald trump. look what he's been through january 6th, 3034 felony convictions. that core base will move with him that 30. >> eventually we're going to hear marjorie taylor greene say, i'm all for this. >> or bannon. >> she or well, bannon's a different story. and let's not forget you have bannon running a media company that's in conflict. that is in competition with fox news. so there's that storyline to be had. but i believe that donald trump thinks he's got that core 35%. and i have taken it for a test run and every time it's delivered for me. so i don't think he's worried about that. what he is worried about is looking like a failure. if he makes this decision and it doesn't go pitch perfect, which you talked about before, the question of will one strike do the job? i think he's afraid of looking like a failure. >> yeah, regime change often does not go pitch perfect. >> so there's that. >> oh boy. coming up, a new trump administration policy puts

3:20 pm
or explanation. these visits are allowed to be unannounced, and they are protected by federal law as part of lawmakers oversight powers. and we've all seen this scene in new york earlier this week. that's new york city comptroller and mayoral candidate brad lander, manhandled by ice agents who arrested him for trying to escort a defendant out of immigration court. this all comes as the trump administration has issued new guidance limiting politicians access by now, requiring lawmakers to request visits at least 72 hours in advance. joining us now, democratic congressman krishnamoorthi of illinois. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. npr recently released a report exposing overcrowding and inhumane conditions at ice detention centers in florida, including medical neglect and starvation. why do you think it is so important now for lawmakers to continue visiting
3:21 pm
these facilities? >> well, it's incredibly important because it feels like what's happening there somehow is being done with impunity, that they are no longer feeling accountable to anybody. i just want to tell you a little bit about what happened in chicago. hundreds if not thousands, of people were contacted by text message to report to this ice facility in downtown chicago for what they called a routine check in to build their status or to check in for their asylum cases. many of them dutifully reported only to be snatched by ice officers. from their families. they have no counsel, and they haven't been heard. >> from since. >> and so after we repeatedly reached out to them to find out what happened and they didn't respond, congressman jackson. >> and i. >> showed up to the facility directly. and you saw the video,
3:22 pm
and then they proceeded to call the police to evict us from the premises as trespassers. >> congressman, have you ever seen ice or any other part of the federal apparatus behave in this way in the interior of the united states by turning away lawmakers who try to ask for transparency, try to conduct oversight, showing up in communities in masks, sunglasses, immense amounts of military gear. many of the advocates and immigrants that i've spoken to feel like they're not even sure. sometimes if it's really ice or dhs in their neighborhoods, that there's this feeling of sort of a secret police now out in the united states. how do you see these scenes that you've experienced and seen unfold throughout the country? and where is this going? are we crossing a red line? >> i believe we're crossing a red line. i think. >> that. >> you know, let's just take, for example, what happened in
3:23 pm
chicago. you know, i've talked about that with republicans, democrats, independents, and all of them, even if they believe in having a secure border and a legal immigration system that functions, they see this as being wrong. and for those who are watching this and are somehow unmoved by what they're seeing, you know, if they're unmoved by these scenes of people being snatched away by ice agents at their workplace, by masked agents who will not identify themselves, i would just say, think about the fact that this agency is basically operating as though it is above the law, and it's only a matter of time before it might affect your family. it might be only a matter of time before it affects routinely citizens of the united states. we know that toddlers with cancer were snatched by ice agents. and, you know, it appears that us citizens are
3:24 pm
affected and will be affected more and more unless we stand up and prevent this from happening. >> it seems, congressman, i mean, you're describing it as above the law, this agency, it's denying you your legal right of oversight as a member of congress, there is a poll that shows that trump's support of deportations, as you also alluded to, is declining among the public. 56% of folks disapprove of his handling of deportations, 54% disapprove on immigration. i guess my question to you is, do you now believe that ice should be abolished? i mean, it was a call that democrats were making a couple of years ago, and i'm wondering why democrats are still slow in this moment to renew that call more forcefully, more aggressively, as you just described an agency that is acting above the law, why not call for it to be abolished, even if you can't necessarily abolish it right now? >> i don't believe in abolishing the agency, but i do believe in reforming it and making sure that it stays within the rules.
3:25 pm
it's not operating currently as though as it was intended. and when you have an ice agent, a masked ice agent, i don't know why. and it quite frankly, it looks like he's trying to hide something that he knows that what he's doing is wrong and that he doesn't want to be held accountable for it. and so in light of that, i think that we have to take strong steps to both shine a light on the harm that's being done by ice agents and communities, but also in the appropriations process. take appropriate take measures to restrict their funding, so long as they continue doing what they're doing right now. >> congressman raja krishnamoorthi, thank you so much for joining us this evening. great to have you back. >> thank you. >> coming up on the weekend, prime time campus activist mahmoud khalil is out of ice detention in louisiana and back

3:31 pm
pro-palestinian activist and former columbia university graduate student, is finally home. he landed in new jersey earlier today, where he was greeted by supporters, his wife and two month old son, whose birth he missed during his detention. immigration authorities arrested khalil back in march, making him the first of several student protesters high profile student protesters targeted by the trump administration, which has argued his activism undermines the foreign policy interests of the united states. joining us now, msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos. he's also a criminal defense attorney. so, danny, i had the chance yesterday to speak with one of the members of khalil's legal team. and i want you to take a listen to some of what he shared with me. >> there hasn't been a shred of evidence presented that supports any of the claims that the trump administration is trying to make, and thankfully, a judge in new jersey.
3:32 pm
>> acknowledged that. >> and he realized. >> that. >> mahmoud is not a flight risk. he's not a danger to the community. and in fact, last week, the judge held that the foreign policy grounds on which. >> the trump administration is. trying to detain him is likely unconstitutional. >> so the trump administration has made this argument. but as you heard, khalil or one of his attorneys spell out there, you know, he's now been released. minutes after that, though, we saw him walking out, speaking to reporters for the first time. they filed an appeal. do you think he's likely to remain here in new york and at home for the time being? what happens next, and how likely is it that the trump administration will ultimately succeed in bringing him back into the broader immigration dragnet? >> very likely. and in fact, i think it's still very likely that he may ultimately end up removed. and i feel like on this show, i'm often the negative nancy, and i'm sorry for that. but all the victory was in new jersey in the federal court, because this case has really two tracks, one in immigration
3:33 pm
court, one in federal district court right now. and the only victory was bail. and don't get me wrong, as a criminal defense attorney, bail is a big deal. but bail is only a temporary thing. eventually this case gets adjudicated and while he's out on bail separately, he may ultimately be removed. now, it's true that this court made a determination that the grounds may not be lawful. they may not be constitutional. but in all of these cases, if a trial court. >> a. >> district court is making a determination, you can bet the trump administration is going to appeal. it's what they do. if anything, it's like an exhibition match because the next court up will review everything essentially legal in in de novo is what we call brand new. >> i think part of what is confusing to so many people, and i get asked about this all the time, is he was never charged with an actual crime. they don't allege that he is a criminal in any form or fashion. in the united states. the major mistake seems to be that he omitted
3:34 pm
information about his employment through a un program at one point, but all of the experts i've spoken to say that they can't really imagine a scenario in which someone would be detained for 100 something days over some kind of clerical error while they were applying for their permanent residency. >> yeah. >> you are exactly right. >> and the judge observed that that this is not normally why people are detained. bail is usually denied, really for two major reasons. either you're a threat or you're. a risk of flight. and he was neither detention for the mere reason that you may have put a false statement or an incorrect statement on an application is not something that normally happens in this context. and the judge got that part right, but separately, you're also correct that you don't have to violate the law. you don't have to commit a crime, but you can still be removable under other areas of the immigration laws. >> you can lose your right to be a permanent resident because you perhaps forgot to mention something as part of an
3:35 pm
application. sure, that's something that happens routinely. genuinely. well. >> that's a separate. >> that's a. >> separate question. right. and just by way of example, we now know and well, we've always had a law that says that you are removable. if, for example, the secretary of state determines that you are detrimental to foreign interests. >> but i. >> thought that that. >> i thought that the court said that. >> he can't be. >> he can't be. >> i'm confused. and my point, my point there is that, yes, he did win in the sense that this district court made a determination that the grounds were not lawful, but these are going to be appealed. and the next judge up on the third circuit, for example, because that's where appeals go from district of new jersey, they may make a different determination. and that's why i was making the point that all of these decisions, even if they're favorable to any of these individuals like khalil, are really just a form of exhibition match. they're a friendly match, so to speak, in soccer parlance, because once it goes up on appeal, these are mostly novel issues of law. the one thing the trump administration is very good at is creating novel issues
3:36 pm
of law that haven't really been adjudicated before. so this could go up to the third circuit. and then, of course, it could go up to the supreme court, where at every level, each court might make a different determination. now, maybe they'll all rule consistently with this district court. they might. that kind of thing has happened before. but i just want to stress that the mere fact that he has bail is only a temporary benefit. and even if he gets a favorable ruling on the constitutionality or the legality of his removal, that too is something that may go up and will go up on appeal, because that's what the trump administration. >> so are there. >> any implications that we. >> should read into. >> this for other students or other immigrants who might feel like they're being retaliated against for their speech? >> sure. >> to the. >> extent these. >> are favorable rulings, they might be persuasive. i shouldn't even say persuasive because the circuit court of appeals can look at them with a fresh eye, but it might be a harbinger of things to come. it might be a preview of how courts will rule if the reasoning is sound

enough. and a great example is that bail determination. that, to me was a no brainer. this is not somebody who should have been detained. and a red flag for me is when the government is using some area of the law that it never uses. and fortunately, in federal prosecution, for example, there are some robust statistics. and so if you have something that you just don't see used very often, that's usually a red flag and you raise it to the judge. and in this case the judge saw the same thing. >> danny cevallos, thank you so much. i'm sorry to interrupt. we actually have some breaking news we want to flag for the audience here. we are monitoring a situation developing. out of new york city right now. there are reports that a yacht crashed into a dock on henry hudson and 130th street. the new york fire department says there are 400 passengers on board and about ten civilians with reported injuries, most considered minor. we will continue to follow the developments and bring them to you as they come. >> all right. coming up on the weekend, prime time, we're going to speak to the singer who used a performance at dodgers stadium

3:42 pm
week. that decision, against the wishes of the la dodgers, as you can imagine, sparked outrage on fox watch. >> i don't. >> know if. >> trump would do. >> it. >> but my goodness will. can you imagine if. >> they did an. >> ice. >> raid in the parking lot. >> of the la. dodgers stadium. >> as a fire back. situation here? >> that would be. >> kind of amazing. >> now, three days after those comments, the dodgers say they blocked ice agents from entering the stadium. when it comes to those men in masks, ice says it was not them. instead, the department of homeland security says that border patrol agents were there, quote, unrelated to any operation. as for his rendition of the star-spangled banner, it hit a home run for dodgers fans, nbc news reports. quote, los angeles is home to a reported 1.8 million spanish speaking residents, but rarely do they hear the national anthem sung in that language. joining us now is nesa. nesa, it's great to have you on the show. thank you so much for making time for

us. i know it has been an intense week for you. reflect on that for a couple of minutes, if you will. i mean, you're the child of immigrants. tell me about how your family story shaped your decision to sing the national anthem in spanish, and what has come since that moment. >> oh my goodness, yes. i mean. >> obviously i've never been. >> through. >> anything like this. it's been quite. >> the quite the week. >> yeah. >> my parents are both immigrants. >> my mom is. >> dominicana. >> my dad's. >> colombiano both came here. >> as immigrants. >> and. >> did not have the easiest time. >> and i think their. >> story and the struggle. >> really was. >> definitely a part. >> in why i. >> made the decision. >> to do what i did. >> yeah. >> so just to clarify what led up to this moment, my understanding from reading some of the reporting is that you had proposed to sing the anthem in both spanish and english. spanglish. was that what
3:44 pm
happened here and what kind of feedback did you get? >> yeah, so i. >> got asked. to do this a month in advance. and also. >> there's no contract. >> or anything like that. that's not how. these things work. >> but a lot changed. >> in those. >> 30 days leading up to, you know. >> everything that was going on here. >> in la. >> and so a week prior, i sent an email. i said, hey. >> i did. >> my research. >> i found estrellado. >> it's an. >> official version. >> it's commissioned. >> could i sing it after i sing the english version? and all. >> they said was. >> you have a 92nd time. >> frame and they sent. >> a pdf of logistics. no one said, well, we prefer it in english because if they. >> had said that, i would have respectfully declined. and so. >> i called my manager and i was like, maybe i'll do it in spanglish. i'll make sure it's in the 90s. >> like i'll. respect that. >> and when i. >> got to the stadium. >> that day, i just, i. >> think. >> it was like two days prior. i was like. >> oh my gosh. >> look at god. he put me. >> there on no kings day. let me, let me do this. let me make

3:46 pm
>> yeah. i mean. >> anyone who's out here, even if you don't live out here, i mean, everything's. >> online now. >> and i just don't understand how anyone could. watch these kids being ripped away from their families this week and like, and not feel like they need to be on the right side of history right now. and again. originally i was going to sing the anthem in english. i sang for the. >> i'm so. >> proud to. >> be an american. i love the national anthem. i just wanted to do something that the latin community, because 80% of the people in the stands that day when i looked around, were latino, and so i just wanted to do something to make them feel included, because everything was so heightened that week, especially that day. >> you talked about how intense it's been the last couple of days. correct me if i'm wrong. i think i'm sure you've gotten a lot of praise and support and love. you've also gotten some death threats. do you have any

regrets for doing it? do you think it's going to have any impact on your singing career? and would you do it all over again if you could? >> yeah, it's been good or bad. unfortunately for the people that you know are sending all the hate, i've been online a very long time. i know how to navigate this and now i'm super proud of what i did. my parents are super proud and at the end of the day, that was that made it all worth it. and yeah, i would i would do it over and over again because it was the right thing to do. yeah. >> thank you so much for joining us tonight and for sharing your voice. we appreciate you. >> thank you so much. >> up next, a professional soccer team visits the oval office. and then things get a office. and then things get a little bit weird. we'll play y [♪♪] do you own a dishwasher, but only use it for storage or as a drying rack? get better results than hand washing, with your dishwasher and cascade complete. your dishwasher does the work for you, with temperatures up to 140 degrees - too hot for hands.

3:52 pm
themselves in quite the awkward situation on wednesday afternoon, already laughing. the club, one of the most renowned in world soccer, was in washington, d.c, to play in the first ever club world cup. but before that, they found themselves dead center in the oval office, standing behind donald trump as he gave arguably the most awkward white house photo op in some time. >> have you ever had women? >> could a woman. >> make your team? >> fellas, tell me you think you're being nice. what do you think? you think a woman could make the team. general manager? what do you think? we have. >> a very good women's team, though. >> we do have. yeah. >> but they should be playing with women, right? you know, it's one of those things. i mean, one of those things. see, they're very diplomatic. >> so as you can hear there, the president's trying to press them on transgender women in sports. it seems in that same oval office hangout, he brought up the potential to bomb iran.
3:53 pm
>> i mean. >> it's also you're our resident soccer. >> well, i got to say this, actually, this has nothing to do with soccer. it just has to do with the awkwardness of the president exploiting a moment of not like international unity. right now, in the context behind it is the us is hosting the fifa club world cup. all these international teams are in the us competing, and so it's a photo opportunity for the president to bring the world together. and what does he do? he injects politics into it and you can see the faces of some of these athletes. >> what do you think is running through their minds? >> well, i mean, you see you see one of the american players, wes mckenna, who's looking behind the president, and he's just kind of looking over his shoulder like, i can't believe this is happening right now, because this is truly an awkward moment. you've got these international superstars. and again, the idea of interjecting something that is an american policy issue or a debate that's taking place in this country into the center of an italian sports club, an italian. >> look, even if it were an american team, i think. >> yes. >> i agree. >> i agree. >> but and donald trump has basically said as much i think we have a clipically
3:54 pm
saying that during all the colin kaepernick, you know, kneeling before the national anthem kind of thing, that whole controversy, basically, donald trump kept saying, among others that these guys should just shut up and stay out of politics and be athletes. let's see the sound we have. >> wouldn't you love to see. >> one of these. nfl owners. >> when somebody disrespects our flag. >> to say, get that. >> son of a off the field right now. >> out. >> he's fired. >> he's fired. >> yeah. the whole idea once upon a time was that athletes should keep their mouth shut, should not weigh in on politics, whatever their views were, allegedly, and just play their sport. >> it's also i mean, soccer is so beloved around the world. these teams are incredibly diverse. yes. i think the other thing that is very strange about this optically, is just seeing this diverse group of people who
3:55 pm
kind of are like this counterprogramming to a lot of what's happening in the united states right now, be forced into that position and, and the be the people having to absorb that message when even without them trying to send a message of their own, they represent the best of diversity and cross-cultural and global collaboration and an actual kind of form of meritocracy. >> my favorite part was the day after, and one of the quotes from the players there, you know, according to the new york times, was they just told us that we have to go. i had no choice but to go. i'm not one for the politics. so it wasn't that exciting. it was a bit weird. and you think of like, all the people that have gone through the white house have been put in these awkward situations with the president. how many of them felt that way? but here's the other thing. >> most of them are like, you know, state leaders who at least get like, surfing on what's about to happen. these are like. >> 25 year old. these are 25 year old athletes. and so for them and many, as you said, many
3:56 pm
of them are like international superstars for them. they don't think about this as like, oh, this is an american sensitivity or he's the president of united states. i, i don't want to speak ill about him. they're like, they just speak because they have the ability to and they express themselves thinking about how awkward it is that they were dragged into this situation. and the president is talking about world war three bombing iran, trans athletes. and we've seen that happen with like world leaders when they do, when he does those like fireside chats and how they those. >> but again, as to antonio's point, at least they are world leaders. i mean, i think the other interesting thing about this whole backdrop is we were talking about this before that because the fifa cup is coming up, there are a lot of foreign athletes who may have difficulty coming in to the united states, and that there was a women's team, i think, from senegal. >> yeah. basketball team. yeah. >> basketball team. yeah. that basically said we're not going to yeah, we're not going to come because some of our players have or can't get visas. >> well, you should see some of the social media profiles of these athletes and what they post about some of the things that they care about. because, you know, i mean, if the trend is as what we're seeing it in this country, where they're
3:57 pm
going to start looking at people's social media accounts, a lot of these athletes might not make it to the us for next year's world cup. so. but. >> well, we still have a lot more to talk about, so please stick with us. coming up, the real price tag of president trump's mass deportation agenda. plus, we're watching the white house tonight where president trump is set to meet with his national security team. stick you might take something for your heart... national security team. stick with us. you might get support for your joints... or even use something for your digestion... so why wouldn't you take something for the most important part of you... your brain. people all over the country take prevagen for their brain. in fact, prevagen has been the number-one selling brain supplement nationwide for over 10 years. the most important supplement for the most important part of you. try prevagen for your brain today. as a person living with diabetes i'm all about making progress. my progress is making smart choices
