00:00

the border is the greatest problem I

00:02

think that this country has other than

00:05

the enemy from within you know the enemy

00:07

in the outside is Russia China no we can

00:10

handle them if you have a smart

00:11

president but we have an enemy from

00:13

within we have some very sick people

00:16

yeah um here is the latest Fox News poll

00:19

blame the following a great deal or some

00:21

on for the situation on the border and

00:24

you've got congress's lack of action at

00:26

82% and Biden's lack of enforcement at

00:28

74% you're in Congress you hear what the

00:31

push back is always you know it's the

00:33

Republicans fault they say they listen

00:35

to Donald Trump and they sat on their

00:36

hands and didn't pass um the Senate

00:39

legislation uh that would have made

00:41

things safer oh that's going to hurt but

00:44

you know the the bigger Point here as we

00:46

are discussing immigration which is a

00:48

hot political issue according to the

00:50

polls is that if you know former

00:54

president Trump really cared about this

00:56

issue why did he block legislation that

00:58

would have provided more more border

01:00

agents more Asylum judges allowed the

01:03

president the power to shut down the

01:05

Border when there was chaos or a surge

01:09

that's what you know was there on a

01:11

bipartisan basis and ask question okay

01:14

when a Fox News poll is saying this

01:17

imagine what the rest of the country

01:19

actually thinks we have a new form of

01:20

crime but there's no evidence of a

01:22

bloodbath for Americans living there of

01:24

course Trump is also arguing that the

01:26

border is causing a crime wave across

01:28

the country but in fact violent crime

01:30

rates are at modern lows on average and

01:33

down in many cities and multiple studies

01:35

show that migrants are actually less

01:37

likely to commit crime than others here

01:40

even so Trump is trying to cement the

01:42

idea that migrants are the enemy because

01:45

as Republican infighting continues for

01:47

those betting folks I'm giving odds of

01:49

two to one on another speaker coup

01:51

before the summer that's how we lose the

01:54

majority not because Marjorie Taylor

01:55

green filed a motion to vacate against a

01:58

republican speaker that betrayed

02:00

everyone worse than any Republican

02:03

speaker in decades that I'm not the

02:05

problem here well you know the rap

02:07

against your party sir uh is that you

02:10

don't know how to negotiate you're lousy

02:12

at and you have a track record where the

02:14

Democrats constantly seem to get the

02:15

better of you how do you answer that

02:17

that's the same people who have been

02:18

able to stomach their fourth speaker

02:20

choice I think for merely a couple

02:22

months what the American people to

02:24

believe it is Democrats who can't govern

02:27

this was not a Republican bill this was

02:29

a Dem R bill yeah but people even in

02:32

your own party are attacking you saying

02:35

we do not need more Division I mean

02:37

after all Congressman look how many

02:38

people have left Ken Buck stepping down

02:41

Mike Gallagher stepping down and and

02:44

Mike Gallagher is leaving at a time that

02:47

even makes things tougher for the

02:49

Republicans right he's leaving early

02:51

isn't he and their inability to govern

02:53

is never more apparent than their fake

02:56

outrage over the southern border to

02:58

which many in their own party have voice

03:00

concern in the past here's what uh

03:02

speaker Johnson said I have seen enough

03:04

this bill is even worse than we expected

03:06

it won't come close to any of the Border

03:07

catastrophe the president has created as

03:09

the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed

03:11

under this legislation the Border never

03:13

closes if this bill reaches the house

03:15

you'll be dead on arrival your thoughts

03:19

yeah unfortunately he would step out and

03:21

be able to see that right away before

03:22

obviously he had had a chance to be able

03:24

to read it as well and to be able to go

03:25

through it the key aspect of this again

03:27

is are we as Republicans going to have

03:29

press conferences and complain the

03:31

borders bad and then intentionally leave

03:33

it open after the worst month in

03:35

American history in December now we've

03:38

got to actually determine are we going

03:39

to just complain about things or we

03:40

going to actually address and to change

03:42

as many things as we can if you need any

03:44

more proof well it was Donald Trump who

03:46

once said it's the job of Congress to

03:50

solve the

03:51

border the only long-term solution to

03:54

the crisis and the only way to ensure

03:57

the endurance of our nation as a

04:00

sovereign country is for Congress to

04:03

overcome open borders obstruction you

04:06

know for the Avid lit Ros out there I

04:08

distinctly recall lead Republican

04:10

negotiator on the bipartisan Bill

04:12

mouthing it's true we are idiots during

04:15

Biden State of the Union speech in which

04:17

he outlined measures said by pson

04:19

legislation would seek to try and

04:21

address some of the issues in November

04:24

my team began serious negotiation with a

04:26

bipartisan group of

04:28

senators the result was a bipartisan

04:30

bill with the toughest set of border

04:32

security reforms we've ever

04:35

seen oh you don't think

04:38

so oh you don't like that bill huh that

04:42

conservatives got together and said it

04:44

was a good bill I'll be darn that's

04:48

amazing that bipartisan would hire 1,500

04:52

more security agents and officers 100

04:54

more immigration judges help tackle the

04:56

backload of 2 million cases 4,300 more

04:59

Asylum officers and new policies so they

05:01

can resolve cases in 6 months instead of

05:04

6 years

05:09

now but when I tell you I wasn't

05:11

expecting a Fox News poll nor Fox News

05:15

guests outside of Jessica talv of course

05:17

to turn in these results it's a vast

05:19

understatement yeah um here is the

05:22

latest Fox News poll blame the following

05:24

a great deal or some on for the

05:26

situation on the border and you've got

05:29

Congress is lack of action at 82% and

05:31

Biden's lack of enforcement at 74%

05:34

you're in Congress you hear what the

05:35

push back is always you know it's the

05:37

Republicans fault they say they listened

05:39

to Donald Trump and they sat on their

05:41

hands and didn't pass um the Senate

05:44

legislation uh that would have made

05:46

things safer but you know the the bigger

05:48

Point here is we are discussing

05:50

immigration which is a hot political

05:53

issue according to the polls is that if

05:55

you know former president Trump really

05:58

cared about this issue

06:00

why did he block legislation that would

06:02

have provided more border agents more

06:04

Asylum judges allowed the president the

06:07

power to shut down the Border when there

06:09

was chaos or a surge that's what you

06:13

know was there on a bipartisan Bas let

06:16

ask you a question when the same people

06:17

who tune in Daily to on air prayer

06:19

segments comparing Trump to God story

06:22

and yes many of us none of us here on on

06:24

the sofa um or the curvy couch have gone

06:27

to prison so we can't relate to that

06:29

message but I can relate to the overall

06:31

message that God uses the least likely

06:32

look at the disciples they were

06:34

fishermen you know they were probably

06:35

cussing out there on the boats and God

06:37

said you follow me and they did look at

06:39

Donald Trump I mean who would have

06:41

thought he would have been president one

06:42

day when he was on our show for all

06:44

those years and think that the party he

06:47

currently leads are responsible for the

06:49

issue they claim to be so up in arms

06:51

about more so than the current president

06:53

who is demonized daily on that same

06:55

network you know that you're royally

06:58

screwed you know we need more common

07:01

sense in Washington DC less conflict and

07:04

less chaos we're in a period of divided

07:07

government that means we should be

07:09

trying to find bipartisan Common Ground

07:12

house Democrats have made that clear on

07:14

any issue we'll work with our Republican

07:16

counterparts when it makes sense in

07:18

terms of delivering Real Results for the

07:20

American people how can a bill be dead

07:23

on arrival and extreme mag Republicans

07:26

in the house haven't even seen the text

07:28

they don't even know what Solutions are

07:30

being proposed in terms of addressing

07:32

the challenges at the Border House

07:35

Republicans at this point are wholly own

07:38

subsidiaries of Donald Trump they're not

07:41

working to find real solutions for the

07:44

American people they are following

07:47

orders from the former president that's

07:50

the height of irresponsibility that's

07:52

what the American people dislike about

07:54

Washington DC at this moment not only

07:56

are most Americans outside of the Fox

07:59

News akin to Republicans inability to

08:02

literally get anything done unless of

08:04

course you mean for the Russians in

08:05

which they're doing a stellar job of

08:07

offering them red carpets into their

08:10

party's impeachment Fiasco this is a

08:13

very crucial piece of our investigation

08:15

at the at the end of the day he wasn't

08:17

an important part of this investigation

08:19

because I didn't even know who he was

08:21

looking at what you said last September

08:23

you were condemning your own party's

08:25

impeachment efforts saying that

08:26

Republicans in the house who are itching

08:28

for an impeachment in are relying on an

08:30

imagined history did you ever think that

08:33

that it would collapse in this

08:35

spectacular of a fashion well Kaylin

08:38

it's even more of an imagined history

08:39

now obviously uh this witness and and we

08:42

were warned at the time that we received

08:45

the uh document uh outlining this

08:48

witness's testimony we were warned that

08:50

uh The credibility of this statement was

08:52

was not known and yet uh people my

08:55

colleagues went out and and talked to

08:57

the public about how this was credible

08:59

and how it was damning and how uh it

09:02

proved President Biden's at the time

09:05

Vice President Biden's uh complicity in

09:08

receiving bribes um it appears to

09:11

absolutely be false but even the most

09:13

Aid Republican supporters seem to be

09:15

losing faith not to forget the fact that

09:17

lifelong Republicans are fleeing the

09:20

ultr Maga party they were elected to

09:22

09:24

09:30

Ken Buck he's says it's dysfunction he's

09:33

09:38

disarray you can't do anything that was

09:42

you to rethink your decisions not at all

09:44

not at all no rearview mirror happy to

09:47

happy to move on dysfunctional place I

09:49

pretty intensely frustrated to not only

09:53

09:57

Gallagher just said he's leaving too

09:59
