EXCERPT:

KAY: “On the immigration side, I mean you heard Stephen Miller say in an interview on the lawn of the White House, 'Look at you,' to a CBS reporter. 'Are you seriously defending people who are here from Venezuela who are gang members?' Even though there had been no due process to know whether they were gang members. But it was a -- it was a kind of perfect demonstration of the way that the administration flips this against any critics to say that you are inherently pro illegal immigrant, you are inherently pro people who are here illegally or have done bad things. And it's a difficult -- it makes it hard for the Democrats to defend the rights of these people, which is why you're not hearing much outcry. I mean, it was interesting talking to Anne Applebaum just a minute ago off-camera. She was saying we've gone further than Hungary in the United States already, just in the space of three months. Orbán took ten years to do this. We've done it in the space of three months and it's even more chilling here what is happening, but you're hearing so little opposition to it from Democrats, so little kind of uni -- from law firms, from universities so little resistance. Because they've been kind of caught flat-footed. They don't know how to respond whilst also protecting their own interests.”
