1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Surges at the border the largest we have ever seen. 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: That is the new reporting coming from Eagle Pass down 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: in Texas on the border there where now offered nearly 4 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: half a million Venezuelan migrants legal status and work permits, 5 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: falling demands from strained cities. Yes, the Biden administration handing 6 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: out seft amnesty, offering nearly a half a million Venezuelan 7 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: migrants in the US the ability to not only live 8 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: but also work, take away a job from an American 9 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: citizen in this country, legally approving a long standard request 10 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: from cities struggling to house asylum seekers. I warned you 11 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: that if they could overrun the country with legal immigrants, 12 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: this is exactly how they would then try to get 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: rid of those illegal immigrants by giving them legal status. 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: That's now what they're doing. The Department of Homeland Security 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: expanded or redesignated the Temporary Protected Status program for Venezuelan migrants, 16 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: allowing recent arrivals to apply for the deportation protections and 17 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: work permits offered by the policy. CBS News was the 18 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: first to report the move this morning. Previously, only Venezuelans 19 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: who arrived in the US before March of twenty twenty 20 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: one qualified for the program created by Congress in nineteen 21 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: ninety to offer a temporary safe haven to migrants from 22 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: countries facing humanitarian crisises such as an armed conflict or 23 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: a natural disaster. Now, by redesignating Venezuela's TPS program, the 24 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: US under the Biden administration is rendering the record number 25 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: of Venezuelans who have reached the US over the past 26 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: two years, all of them eligible for this new status. 27 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: They estimate there's at least a half a million additional 28 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: Venezuelans that are expected to now qualify for or TPS, 29 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: which has already allowed a quarter of a million migrants 30 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: from the country to obtain the status that according to 31 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security's own internal figures, Venezuelan who 32 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: reached the US after the end of July, they say, 33 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: will not qualify for TPS. Temporary Protected Status provides individuals 34 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: already present in the United States with protection from removal 35 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: when the conditions in their home country prevent their safe return. 36 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: That is what Majorciss said in a statement put out 37 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: last night. This is the situation that Venezuelans who arrived 38 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: here or honor before July the thirty first of this year, 39 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: quote find themselves in while other legal status will also qualify. 40 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: They now claim for TPS. 41 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: The announcement will most likely benefit the more than four 42 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: hundred thousand that we know of people who have broken 43 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: into this country. These Venezuelan migrants who've trekked to the 44 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: US southern border over the past two and a half 45 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: years as part of a massive exodus from this South 46 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: African country. Now in recent years, more than seven million 47 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: Venezuelans have fled economic conditions there an authoritarian rule, with 48 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: most of them resettling in other South American nations such 49 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: as Colombia, making the largest refugee crisis ever recorded in 50 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: the Western Hemisphere. Increasingly more Venezuelans have less left Venezuela 51 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: or other countries in search for better economic opportunities in 52 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: the United States, embarking on a week long journey that 53 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: entails crossing Panama and the area there at the foot 54 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: the administration's announcement, they say is in them is an 55 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: important victory quote for Congressional day democrats and leaders in 56 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: large cities like New York for who for months have 57 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: been pressuring the federal government to grant migrants in their 58 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: community's legal status so that they can work legally and 59 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: disappear them from the streets more quickly and not rely 60 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: on local service, as they claim. New York City in particular, 61 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: has struggled to house tens of thousands of migrants, many 62 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: of them from Venezuela, and more than two hundred hotels, shelters, 63 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: tent cities, and other facilities, saying, quote, our administration and 64 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: our partners across the city have led the calls to 65 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: quote unquote let them work. So I want to thank 66 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: President Biden for hearing our entire coalition, including our hard 67 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: working congressional delegation, and taking the important steps that will 68 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: bring people hope and bring hope to the thousands of 69 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: Venezuelan and asylum seekers currently in our care who will 70 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: now immediately be eligible for temporary protected status. New York 71 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: City Mayor Eric Adams said today the Biden administration has 72 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: used this status as an unprecedented on an unprecedent and 73 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: at scale, making record numbers of migrants from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Haiti, 74 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: mir Mar, Sudan, and Ukraine eligible for this new program. 75 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: Another way, in other words, it's a way to just 76 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: make people disappear. If you've got a problem, you just 77 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: make them disappear. If you want to get rid of them, 78 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: you make them disappear. By giving them this status, it 79 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: erases them from your book of problems, as it was 80 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: described by one Department of Homeland Security secretary. Notice how 81 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: they refer to them. This is not what's good for America. 82 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: This isn't what's good for you as an American taxpayer. 83 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: This also allows them to be eligible for massive amounts 84 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: of government federal aid, which again people don't seem to 85 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: want to talk about either. So this is now the 86 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: real problem. I want to get your phone calls and 87 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: your reaction to this. We're now giving away amnesty to 88 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: a million people from Venezuela so that we don't have 89 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: to deal with the issue you.

Look, over seven thousand arrest 176 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 8: a day, over fifty thousand people in custody every twenty 177 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 8: four hours with CDP and ICE. Look, we just had 178 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 8: over eighty thousand people come through Panama in August. This 179 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 8: is continuing, and again I don't see an end in 180 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 8: sight as long as the policies are misdirected and misguided 181 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 8: come out of Washington. 182 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 7: So Chris, in the absence of prevention, right, it's too 183 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 7: late for that. The Mayor is now living with the 184 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 7: consequences of one hundred and thirteen thousand people coming into 185 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 7: the city this year alone. What are his options? 186 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 8: You know, you know that number is seems like it's 187 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 8: strikingly you know, huge, right, But that's what we dealt 188 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 8: with in Youma year one that I was there under 189 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 8: President Biden in twenty twenty one, Yuva doesn't have but 190 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 8: one hundred thousand people in the whole community. What's happening 191 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 8: down there in Texas an eagle pass. But what the 192 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 8: American do is actually can continue to do what he's doing, 193 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 8: but hold the administration accountable, you know, get together with 194 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 8: all the mayors and the state leaders and local leadership 195 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 8: across the country and say, hey, put an end to this, 196 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 8: because look, Americans are suffering. We're already suffering under this 197 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 8: this economy, and now we're continuing to suffer on this 198 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 8: under this border crisis. And something's going to be done. 199 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 8: And it's going to take a collection of people from 200 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 8: both sides of the aisle to really roll up their 201 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 8: sleeves and get this done. 202 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 4: A multiple accountable Chris, I want to give you three 203 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 4: numbers here. Over the weekend twenty two hundred cross in 204 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 4: Eagle Pass, Texas and one day, okay, last week, one 205 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty unaccompanied children every day we're encountered. Last week, 206 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 4: every day one hundred and fifty. We're talking about kids 207 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 4: age sixteen and under. And put this on screen, the 208 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 4: known god aways of the Southwest border under this administration. 209 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 4: Is it one point five million? Chris, that's the first 210 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 4: time I have seen that number, and that is extraordinary 211 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 4: to see. 212 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, all those numbers should just rattle everybody's cages. I 213 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 8: mean the known got away, and that's what we know. 214 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 8: There's still that unknown factor that we never got to. 215 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 8: When you look at twenty two hundred in one day 216 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 8: in Del Rio, I mean that's crazy. And then these children, 217 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 8: I mean, look, you know we hear time and time 218 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 8: again about the humanitarian crisis. Look, it's living We've been 219 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 8: living this for years now. These are unaccompanied children. This 220 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 8: should just turn everybody's stomach that the administration is not 221 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 8: holding these source countries and allowing that's allowing this to occur. 222 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 8: We've got to do a better job. Americans deserve a 223 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 8: better job, our agents deserve the support, and these migrants 224 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 8: deserve a better pathway to come in legally and not 225 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 8: put their hands in the uh put their lives in 226 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 8: hands and smugglers. No, this is ridiculous. 227 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 4: Maybe may Or Adams is right, he sees no end 228 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 4: in sight? A right, I mean that's what we've seen too. 229 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 7: Jilian border patrol forecasting September could be the highest number 230 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 7: on record in US history. Chris, We've got to leave 231 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 7: it there. Thanks so much, Thank you, Chris. 232 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: You noticed there's no one in sight, and Democrats are 233 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: now saying there's no end in sight and they don't 234 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: want it to stop. The media is having to say 235 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: what it is. The media is having to tell you 236 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: what it is. The media is having to report on 237 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: this because you can't not watch two thousand plus people 238 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: come across the border right like that. That's the reality here. 239 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: So is it just age or is it in competency? 240 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: That is the real question that I want you to 241 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: answer right now. Is it just age or is it 242 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: in competency. There is an interesting article that's come out 243 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: saying that it's the age of Joe Biden that's his 244 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: biggest problem right now. 245 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: I tend to disagree with that. 246 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't think it's his age is as much as 247 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: it is his mental capacity. 248 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 2: Democrats are also saying, well, if you're. 249 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: Going to say that it's an age issue, okay, then 250 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to say that there's an age issue 251 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump. I'm not obsessed with the age. I 252 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: am obsessed with the incompetency. You look at the president. 253 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: And this is even yesterday at the United Nations are 254 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: now technically two days ago, and Biden kept losing his 255 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: train of thought over and over and over and over 256 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: and over and over again. It was a real problem. 257 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: Biden abruptly walked out of the Metal of Honor ceremony 258 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: even before the closing benediction. Clearly he doesn't know what 259 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: he's doing. You listen to him at the United Nations 260 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: at the General Assembly, and he was talking and no 261 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: one knew what he was talking about. I don't think 262 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: he did either. How do I know this? 263 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 9: Listen now, reveize you evolve our institutions and drive creative 264 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 9: new partnerships. Let me be clear, certain principles are in 265 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 9: the national system. 266 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: Are Sacra saying even when he says, let me be clear, 267 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: you don't know what he's saying. Before he says, let 268 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: me be clear, Biden was reading his pre written remarks 269 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: for the first time at another event, and it was 270 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: clear when he was reading those remarks he didn't know 271 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: what he was reading. It was obvious he didn't understand 272 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: what he was reading. Listen to this. This is from 273 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: again yesterday, and. 274 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 9: We are we're also discussing the potential for a new 275 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 9: critical Minerals dialogue to strengthen our energy security and supply 276 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 9: chains for years to come. And third, we're launching a 277 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 9: new initiative on disability rates. And I want to thank 278 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 9: you all for your fruitful conversation today which has already 279 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 9: taken place, and I look forward to working with all 280 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 9: of you to do even more in the future. 281 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't know what he's talking about. That was 282 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: the C five plus one luncheon that they were having there. 283 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: Then you have a White House that's trying to cover 284 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: him for him all the time. Yesterday talking about the 285 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: migrant crisis of the border. Martha McCollum talking to John 286 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: Kirby basically seems to be the President of United States 287 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: of America. At least he's coherent when he talks. Was 288 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: asked about what's going on the border. 289 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 10: Listen to this, So why doesn't the President address this. 290 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 10: It's a very urgent need in this country. While he's 291 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 10: talking to the un really missed opportunity today. 292 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 6: No, no, no, I mean he's he's absolutely. 293 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 10: He doesn't talk about it, John, He never. 294 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 6: Talks and has addressed this with those leaders in the region. 295 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 6: And we were just now in Mexico City several months ago. 296 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 6: He has had he's had multiple now two I think, 297 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 6: summits for democracy at each one of them. This issue 298 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 6: comes up at each one of them. He addresses it 299 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 6: with those leaders. I mean that he didn't have a 300 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 6: specific conversation today doesn't mean that he hasn't had in 301 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 6: the past, or that he won't in the future, or 302 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 6: that the Secretary of State isn't also having these discussions. 303 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 6: All these leaders realize, Martha, that it is a regional problem. 304 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 6: It's not just because of one country's politics or one 305 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 6: country's economics. There are just simply more people on the move. 306 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 6: And there's a lot of reasons for that. Famine, drought, 307 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 6: political instability, such as what you see in Venezuela. People 308 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 6: have lots of reasons for being on the movie. 309 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 11: People don't have a silum, they don't have a legitat silent, 310 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 11: which is why he has worked so hard in the 311 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 11: region to up these centers around several countries where people 312 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 11: can apply for legal pathways to come in. 313 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 6: That's why, and that's why we bolstered as much as 314 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 6: we can, we bolstered security at the border to try 315 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 6: to deter illegal immigration. 316 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: Illegal immigration, at least he said that word. 317 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: Now, John Kirby's not elected by anyone, but he seems 318 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: to be pushing right now, pushing in a way that 319 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: makes me laugh, right, pushing in a way that that 320 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: is just honestly, it's frustrating to me because he's not 321 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: elected by anybody, yet he's sitting there saying these things 322 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: that are just lies. Now, if he was the president, great, 323 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,959 Speaker 1: but you and I both know that the President couldn't 324 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: even make the argument that he's making. I'm talking about cognitively. 325 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: That's why they have to send out John Kirby. And 326 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: and even this was a question that was asked, and again, 327 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: I don't think the president can hander this question. 328 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 10: Listen, President Biden did not say a word about our 329 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 10: southern border today. He didn't meet with leaders from next 330 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 10: Co Guatemala. You have nine ten thousand people crossing the 331 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 10: border in unprecedented numbers. How is this something that he 332 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 10: doesn't address when he's in New York City where there's 333 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 10: a crisis unfolding less than a mile away from where 334 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 10: he's speaking. 335 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 6: Well, Martha, he did address the challenge of regional migration 336 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 6: in the speech. He talked about the Los Angeles Declaration 337 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 6: for Migration and for and support for four migrants. He knows, 338 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 6: and he addressed it again in the remarks that this 339 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 6: is a regional thing. You're not wrong. I mean, there 340 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 6: are more people on the move in this hemisphere now 341 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 6: than we've seen since World War Two. And you're absolutely right. 342 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 6: As the weather cools down and conditions get a little 343 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 6: bit better, we. 344 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 10: Are seeing climate numbers for the reason that. 345 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, I'm talking about just the weather conditions. 346 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 6: As we head into fall, it's just easier to be 347 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 6: on the move. 348 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 10: That's the number now, you're the highest number since May. 349 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 6: We are seeing we are seeing increases, not we're not 350 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 6: pushing back on the fact that the numbers are increasing. 351 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,719 Speaker 6: That's why we want Congress to work with us and 352 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 6: pass that supplemental. We asked for four billion dollars to 353 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 6: help us with border security needs. 354 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: That I mean he's a liar. But I don't think 355 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: the president could do that, right, I don't. I don't 356 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: believe that the president could have that conversation that he 357 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: just had. And this is the reason why the president 358 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: keeps ignoring it. 359 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 2: Now. 360 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: I don't think this is an age issue. I think 361 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: it's an incompetency issue. You have a present that's clearly incompetent. 362 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: That's the problem. Incompetency. Listen to the president again at 363 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: the UN what he said, and again, this is another example. 364 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 2: Listen to it. 365 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 9: So one answer that question, we must and we will. 366 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 9: Roade ahead is long and difficult. But if we preserve, 367 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 9: persevere and prevail, if we keep the faith in ourselves 368 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 9: and show what possible. 369 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: And show I mean, he doesn't know what he's saying. 370 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: The road ahead is long and difficult. But if we preserve, persevere, prevail, 371 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: and then you just you know, emphasize one word here 372 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: and there. This is the guy that, again five seconds later, 373 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: says this sentence and mumbles again, no. 374 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 12: Even has the evolur institutions. 375 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: Does anybody know what the hell he just said? Does 376 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: anybody have a clue? This is the President of the 377 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: United States of America on the world stage. All of 378 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: our adversaries are in the world, in the world, or 379 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: in the room. 380 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 12: No even has the evolur institutions. 381 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell he just said. Do 382 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: you know what he just said? 383 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 12: No even has the evolur institutions. 384 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: Does anybody know what he just said? I don't even 385 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: know what words he's trying to say. 386 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 12: No even has the evolur institutions. 387 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: I have no idea. Diaz, stop laughing. It's not funny. 388 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: That's the president of the United States of America. 389 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 12: No even has the evol institutions. 390 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: No one knows what the man's saying. And then the 391 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: media's like, well, it's an age thing. Maybe they're they're 392 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: fighting over the age. I don't think this is age. 393 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: I think this is an issue of incompetency. 394 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 2: That's what I think. 395 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: I think this is an ise shoe of incompetency. When 396 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: I look at him, I don't see an old man. 397 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: I see an incompetent man. There is a difference. I'm 398 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: not obsessed with age like other people are obsessed with age. 399 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 2: I'm just not. 400 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: The growing number of polls now are showing voters are 401 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: concerned about President Biden's age and his energy. Democratic lawmakers 402 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: have hesitated to offer full throated endorsements of his running mate. 403 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: Prominent commentators have well reminisced now on whether he should 404 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: drop out of the presidential race. This series of political vulnerabilities, 405 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: along with House Republicans announcing an impeachment inquiry and the 406 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: Justice Department in doubting Biden's son on drug charges and 407 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: gun charges really just because of the drugs, it's actually 408 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: just a gun charge, is now sending waves of anxiety, 409 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: they claim through the Democratic Party, as some fred about 410 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: whether the man who helped alse Donald Trump from the 411 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: White House may not have the vitality at age eighty 412 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: to successfully prevent a return. He is in a period 413 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: of his life where passing and death is imminent. Sharon Sweep, 414 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: the leader of the Democratic Party in Lorraine County in Ohio, 415 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: set on the record she said she often hears from 416 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: voters worried about the present's potential FRAILTI quote, we are 417 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: all on a ticking clock. When you're at his age 418 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 1: or at Trump's age, the clock is ticking faster, and 419 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: that is a real concern for voters. Many in the 420 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: party are continuing to voice confidence in Biden, and they 421 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: note that Trump himself is not much younger at seventy seven. 422 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: But Biden's allies are frustrated by the handwringing from an 423 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: anxious faction of the Democratic Party, and even as campaign 424 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: officials point to the presence record of defying skeptics, they 425 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: are strategizing internally about how best to combat and the 426 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: un mistakable nervousness Such Washington whispers have become far too 427 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: common along the they say among bed wedding Democrats. That's 428 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: what Jim Messina, who ran Barack Obama's twenty twelve campaign 429 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: and recently put together a twenty four slide deck aiming 430 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: to calm the jitters, which he sent to prominent Democratic 431 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: office holders. 432 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 2: Quote. 433 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is going to be easy, and 434 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: he's fine, Messinas said in the interview. Look, America is 435 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: split right down the middle. Both parties are going to 436 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: get forty six percent of the vote, and we're fighting 437 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: over the rest. But he said Biden is much stronger, 438 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: in a much stronger position than Trump, and encouraged Democrats 439 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: to stop their public and private i agonizing. He said, 440 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: one Center text him immediately after receiving his presentation which 441 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: included details on biden string of early endorsements from key groups, 442 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: the impact of cooling inflation, and the popularity of many 443 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: of the presents achievements. He said, I'm going to stop 444 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: bedwetting now, the Senator wrote. But interviews with more than 445 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: thirty lawmakers, strategists, activists, and other Democrats show that the 446 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: uncertainty persists. Many Democrats expressed dead fast support for the 447 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: present's running for a second term, and no major figure 448 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: has risen to challenge him in a primary. Several party 449 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: leaders predicted that even voters who voice ambivalence about Biden 450 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: will ultimately be animated to vote against the Republican choice, 451 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: especially at that choice as Donald Trump, But few offered 452 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: confident assessments that Biden's stubbornly low approval rating would rebound 453 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: before next year, and many are concerned that one of 454 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: the president's most significant challenges is one he has no 455 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: control over his age. Supporters and critics alike suggest that 456 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: Biden's prospects may hinge on whether he can find a 457 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: way to overcome a persistent and growing feeling in the 458 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: electorate that his advanced age is his defining characteristic. By 459 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: the way, I don't think it's his age. I think 460 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: it's his incompetency. That's the difference here. I think this 461 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: is not an age question. I don't think people give 462 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: a crap about Donald Trump's age, for example, and I 463 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: don't think people gave a crap about Ronald Reagan's age 464 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: for example. What I do think they care about is 465 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: the incompetency that it shows that they're showing right like that. 466 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: That's to me what this is actually about. It's the 467 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: fact that he looks like he's incompetent. At the United Nations. 468 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: He was mumbling multiple times over. Let me say that again. 469 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: He was mumbling as he was trying to make points 470 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: to the world, and people see that. People see it 471 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party, they're concerned over it. They should 472 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: be concerned over it as well. And when you look 473 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: at that, it's not about his age, it's about the competency. 474 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: And Cana President of the United States of America go 475 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: on stage time and time again, Babba like a moron, 476 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: clearly loses train of thought, and then you think, Yep, 477 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: that guy should be president. 478 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 2: I think the answer is pretty clear. No. 479 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: Now Democrats are having these conversations internally at the highest levels. 480 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: So my question for you is how concerned are you 481 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: about the president's incompetency and his age. Make sure you 482 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: share this with your family and your friends or podcasts. 483 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,479 Speaker 2: Please write us a five story view. 484 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: It helps us reach more people, and we'll see you 485 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
