I'm your host, Greg Sargent.

Earlier this week, Donald Trump confirmed in a 4 a.m. tweet that he will be using the military to carry out mass deportations. He also confirmed that he'll declare a national emergency to do so. All this prompted a sharp response from a Republican senator, Rand Paul of Kentucky. He denounced the idea as a huge mistake, and he said it would send a terrible image to the country and the world. But Rand Paul is a fringe figure on the GOP. Why is it left to someone on the fringe to denounce Trump's vile threats? Where are the rest of Republicans on this? And how far will Trump get? We're chatting about all this with Atlantic writer Tom

Nichols, who's one of the best critics out there on the magification of the GOP and why it poses such a

menace to the country. Great to have you back on, Tom. Thanks for having me,

Greg. So Tom, this week, a conservative tweeted that Trump will, quote, declare a national

emergency and will use military assets to deal with immigration through a mass deportation program.

Trump responded at around 4 a.m. True. Tom, I think it's a little unclear what he

means, but Stephen Miller, who's now going to have a high-level White House role, has said that

military funds will be used to build giant camps to detain migrants before their mass removals.

What's your broad sense of what Trump's really proposing here?
