Transcript for Time's crying-child cover controversy
"Time" magazines under some fire becauf the crying immigrant gir on theircover. She was not sated from their mother, and critics are calling it fake news, but "Time" is standing by their cover sayingit's the most visib symbol of their debate I have to tell you no one I that picture is I that picture. Right. Okay? Exactly. Trump's not in it it's a symbol. It's aymbol for what's happening, a know people wao be literal, and I- I T funny because, you know, when look atome of the gs that people do, you know, ey place you iaces or say, this is what's happening when it's not. Ameme. A meme or just crappy comeback. So I kind of -- Thi didn't both me because I understo- I felt I understood it but some people are saying oh, it's fake news. No, he wasn'there, and T little girl wasn't in the red box either and, you know, it's a C composite. It's a composite, and that's what Somes people do to make the imager They were, in fact, tizing the child at the border gh. Because they were frisking the mother O something. This kid isiny kid and she S frightened by these gigantic peopleround her which is what trump looks like. It is -- it madets point, and assay, it's mbolic. It' what a lot of people said around the eltion time about taking things seriously or literal that's how I S this. I never saw it as literal. I saw it as a serious problem and is is symbolic. If you want to take it literal I can see why both sides will run to their own side. It was side thats Ed that statement. I know. That wasn't an atal wording. Itomes back inour face, my mother said. I think one of thesons why don't have specific photos of what' going the migrant children ae border is because photogrhers and journalists have been denied acce, and so, you know, this is a symbol in L part, because W don't see picres of the children. I think, you know, trying to change the nerve somehow S fake news. Well, is it fake that 2,0lus children have been separated from theamilies? That is not fake. That is ality, and I think the administration somehow is trying tange the narrative, but we need to be vigilt that this happened here in our country. Eah. It'sot that I don't think it didn't Happ but it plays into te news nerve because this child wasn't actually detained, and I Wil say that "Ti magazine has- done 21 trumpers sin he was announced he was running for president, and I would like -- I feikwe talk about "Time" magazine truovers every day. I would like them to do a cov on why he is still popular,hy he elected, trying to understand trump oter bee right now, remember his face melting?he is a polarizing president, anwe have aicture of T not what happened, it pla into the arrive and it's a siren song for theer side. I have a questi can I ask her? Su The question is with these situations with these children there are 2,000 as you say. Over. Iave a couple of questions. Wh isn't T aistration called to account the kidnapping childrber one? Number two, how ishis going to play in November Because when wte in November Mm-hmm. Are theple that connue flow trump G to turn their bks on theseldren when you it won't be solved by november thesds will never be ted and some of the parents are back in Guatemala and they don't know where thee. How will this play O in November when even the trump voters see these child are still not with their parents? Will they then turn on him or T? I just ask the queson. No. I don't thinso. They will not. No. I believa lot of folks feel that this -- this is him showing his strength. Wish they felt as clebout not paying that zillionollars for thatwall. THA not going to get T. Well, I don't like the idea that you aappy about -- not you, but folks happy about some of it. It's like one of those big campaign promises. I'm going to make mex pay for that wall. Mexico gave him theger and turned their back okay? Plause ] So, yoow, I would like that.so LI. Some people feelike he is doing the right thing. Some people feele is not, and I just F like there is -- wet this place where we know that verytle is goi to bother trump supporters. I don't see how anybody can see this as the righing. These are babies kids. Some of them are preverbalnd they don't their mommies and daddies withthem. It's outrageoureally. Peoplehould be outrage by this. Re is no plan. There is no fmal plan athis point to reuni. How do you reunite?I got an e-mail a nurse who said, you know, we hav children who are seted from their mothers oftentimes at hospitals, and you a band R the mom and a band for the ild.why didn't the government at least do th Because they incompetent. Know, something somebody brought up earlier is you , they say, well, we know where the kids are. They know where the kids are, but not where the parents are. Is it a secret? Here the kids are? No. They know the spots have sent them to, but they don't know where the parentsare. So that's why they will have a order time because parts't realize thatheir kids aren't where they left them or the last place they lef them. They don't know how to get ahold of a lot of folks. To come back io the country. How do the pick upheirkids? They have to have plan. I don't think it's kidnapping in Lal sense. I't have time. I have a minute. One thing I want to say Abo the freaking wall. I'm from a border St it's impossible to build this wall on the terrain. Itld be imssible to build it in this way. Why don't we have a ual dre wall and drone entire thing or something like that? This wall won't get built there. Ndowners and ranch owners to sell their land. It a cluster blank, and it's never going to happen It's not the answer. . I'm a hard ne person, and it's not the answer. Stoping to get everybody frked outut this wall because you knowt ain't gng to happen. I kw it ain't going to happen,
