Today I'm joined once again 6 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,399 by Christopher Bedford, Executive editor over at the Common Sense Society. Who I 7 00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:43,560 think Chris, we pre taped an interview with an author of a great new 8 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,359 book last week. Hasn't aired yet, but I think this is the first 9 00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:52,640 time we've done a Sir Christian Emily Thursday podcast since we did the airing of 10 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,880 the Grievances. Absence did not make the heart profonder, it's fair enough. 11 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,439 Well, I'm just kidding. I missed you all right, well, but 12 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,959 mainly adoring fans. Yes, your adoring fans have been clamoring. You would 13 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,879 be shocked. It's the phones are all ringing off the hook. My inbox 14 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:15,439 is overflowing with demands for Christopher Pdford and I have returned, and yes, 15 00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:19,560 so you were both are traveling a lot, but you. In particular, 16 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,640 you had one spell. I think they call it hitting for the cycle you 17 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,519 did. It was like day period seven and a half days where I hit 18 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:36,040 JFK, Newark, LaGuardia, Penn Station and Moynihan train Hall. Well, 19 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,200 that's Men station. They're across the street. One's nice ones not. Well, 20 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,439 it's the same complex. You could avoid it. It's the same complex. 21 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,760 How do you find the new Moan concourse? It's nice, right, 22 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,439 it is nice. I like it that they've removed all chairs. Well, 23 00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:56,799 unless you have an A cell ticket, you can sit down if you have 24 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,000 an as cell ticket. I actually really don't understand this law. You can't 25 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,640 any vix like noticeably insane vagrants who have no business from public spaces. Why 26 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,360 not? That's just like, I mean, listen, society needs to be 27 00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:14,439 caring, right, But I mean what happened to the days of like, 28 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:21,680 hey, you actually can't push your shopping cart filled with garbage around half naked 29 00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:24,879 in the town square. Gonna I'm gonna make you leave if you The rule 30 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,199 is, if you have a shopping cart, you also have to be clothed. 31 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,319 You can be half naked without a sharping shopping cart, but not with 32 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,479 the shopping cart. That's where it's the combination. So I usually get pizza 33 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,840 next door to that station and a swring over in a morning. Had maybe 34 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:42,759 get a martini. I don't know, maybe, but I tell you what, 35 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,599 it sounds like a soft Maybe the other airports have gotten better. I 36 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,199 ended up at Newark Airport because I got to my train home and there was 37 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,120 a signal delay. And there's just like there's this life hack that's essential called 38 00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:58,639 the Redcap Service. I never want to hear you use the words life hack 39 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,560 again. It's just a f and sim like it's like you've been reading a 40 00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:07,560 lot of BuzzFeed in twenty twelve. Okay, life hack the Red Caps. 41 00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:10,680 You take ten dollars, You walk over to the Red Caps and you tell 42 00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:14,439 them you train, and you board ten minutes before anyone else does. They 43 00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:17,000 just take you down in the secret elevator and like it it's for old and 44 00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:21,439 handicapping. Say that doesn't sound like it's for you, man, it's for 45 00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:23,439 whoever tip some ten bucks and they like, they like, you help your 46 00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:27,240 bags. I'm like nope, and we just walk down and like which cars 47 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,159 you like? I'm like, right next to the cafe, not quiet. 48 00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:32,199 I sit there and I got my own seat, sit my eat my lunch, 49 00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:36,639 and then all the all the unwashed masses just kind of start to fill 50 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,080 in. But this red cap told me, He's like, yeah, there's 51 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,759 a signal problem. We're expecting substantial delay. So I'm like, what is 52 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,560 this one? Two three hours? And they said, oh no, it's 53 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,280 all day yep. And that's how I ended up at Newark Airport that day, 54 00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:51,800 and every single I was in I ran out to the cab, and 55 00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:55,159 every cab behind us followed me into Newark Airport like everyone had the same idea. 56 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,199 I just got the shut on instead. But uh La, Guardia was 57 00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,000 nice. You sound like such a jerk, but Guardi is nice. Well, 58 00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:05,400 like usually get my I have to switch voices. I just did the 59 00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:09,560 nerd voice, but I actually have to do the pretentious voice. I've never 60 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:13,039 actually ordered. The march usually had one hand station. You know when I 61 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,199 drink a morning hand station, Tall Boys, Yeah, I drink Tall Boys. 62 00:04:15,279 --> 00:04:18,160 Bud Light. Yeah, don't I never drink bud Light anymore? They 63 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,920 have ip A Tall Boys there. Yeah. You put them in like harpoon. 64 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,120 Yeah, you just pull it out of the freezer. So I buy 65 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,000 the IPA is because they're still good like two and a half hours into the 66 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,920 train ride, whereas like a pills there is not going to be good two 67 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,199 and a half unless you got a refrigerator with you, which I don't travel 68 00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:35,959 with. But Morning Hands Station, they Laguardio, they've like re done. 69 00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:39,920 There's an apper Teeth bar. This has like a fountain. I don't know 70 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,360 if the fountain's always been there, but yeah, it was a COVID remodel 71 00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:45,600 situation. That's great. It was like, yes, I'll have on tomorrow 72 00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:47,720 and a cup of coffee at ten in the morning, and you really air 73 00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:51,439 posted your arm. Yeah. JFK Airport has the Palm Steakhouse. Can you 74 00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:56,920 believe that? Out of absolutely nowhere. I ran into Chris one morning at 75 00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:00,120 Minneapolis Airport and he's like, oh, hey, I was just heading over 76 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,160 to the bar. I want a beer. I was like, bro, 77 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:10,920 it's nine thirty by the time you've gotten a Minneapolis airport even up a lifetime, 78 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,839 that's fair. And as I recall, you drank that beer I partook 79 00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:17,319 you were and the same thing on the M track when you're like, oh, 80 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,759 I have to be on Kennedy in twelve hours, and it's like, 81 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,040 I'm just offering you a morning beer. I think you tell too many travel 82 00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:30,439 stories. I think they used to come to peer pressure. Now all of 83 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:34,040 us succumb to peer pressure. No, except for Donald J. Trump. 84 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,079 I don't even travel anymore, So now what's exciting when I do? I 85 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,639 have stories? Well, so this was going to be my bridge from your 86 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,519 super relevant travel anecdote to the border bill. Because you know, we've missed 87 00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:50,160 a lot of stupid in the last couple of weeks, Chris, our opportunity 88 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,360 to weigh in. Has anything happened a couple of things? Has DC done 89 00:05:55,399 --> 00:06:00,000 anything? Dumb? Trump is my my block and my bridge. It turns 90 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,399 out that Donald J. Trump may have stopped a disaster, although it wouldn't 91 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,480 do that so Trump obviously, actually Trump could have come out way harder, 92 00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:15,560 way earlier against the bill. But yeah, he was like, well, 93 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,199 I think you also wanted to see what was in it. I think, 94 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,319 but he's not Donald Trump is not the president, so he's not the key 95 00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:25,720 character in this. But I also think on the Senate side, it was 96 00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:28,600 fairly obvious that there was never going to be a good deal. I mean, 97 00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:30,720 it was just it's It's always been clear and that's why. So when 98 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,519 Trumped waited into it, it was like, oh, you know, he's 99 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,839 does he is he saying it's just for election purposes or if he's saying it's 100 00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:46,199 just for political purposes versus it's substantive. Even at that point, it was 101 00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:47,680 a couple of weeks ago, it was obvious that the substance was going to 102 00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:51,560 suck based on the leaks that Republican leadership was putting out. So let's start 103 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,639 from the beginning. I think one of the things we talked about before we 104 00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,120 hit record on this podcast was the media coverage, because it's been really telling. 105 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:02,680 And again we're in the middle of an election year, but the media 106 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,839 coverage of what's been happening with border Ukraine is real funding is just incredible, 107 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,639 and I think it actually speaks to why the substance of that bill that, 108 00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:17,040 at least as we're recording, dead on arrival, they're trying to revive it 109 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:20,680 in different forms because they know they have to pass some type of bill to 110 00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:28,360 fund the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. But man, I'll give 111 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,959 you the floor first, just the coverage itself, or do you not agree 112 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,160 with me. Is what I'm trying to say, has been telling and has 113 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:43,439 affected the substance of the legislation. The coverage has been kind of stupid. 114 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,199 It seems they've really missed the mark on a lot of stuff. There's been 115 00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:54,519 an incredible number of unforced errors from the GOP and the Democrats alike Langfurt's'completely 116 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,360 unforced error of getting involved in this deal a nice statesman. So I've been 117 00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:01,879 asking a lot of people who've been around to DC for decades, why would 118 00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:05,560 they do this? Like I could, so I could totally totally understand why 119 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,759 a group of Republicans would wander to this trap in two thousand and seven because 120 00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:11,279 they hadn't like really done it before. And it's like, oh, say, 121 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,720 at least it had been so FRONTALDS. Reagan as president, since I 122 00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:20,279 had really been given a shot, and I could even see somewhat the Gang 123 00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:24,480 of eight guys being like it was shot. But by the time twenty sixteen 124 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,600 rolled around and Donald Trump was president and like and Culter and Mickey Kush were 125 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,960 victorious as profits on the mountain side, and like literal profits, like Mickey 126 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,039 Cows I don't know if you know him, like haggard and definitely a loner, 127 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,799 bellowing into the wind. You should know better. But so I've been 128 00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:48,399 asking a lot of old hands around town, why would Langfort, who's not 129 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:54,039 a dummy, and he's fairly well liked by his conference, wander into this. 130 00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:58,759 And the best idea I can come with I've been hearing back is you 131 00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:03,279 know, these senators do come here. Some of them do want to solve 132 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,960 problems. All of them have massive egos. They really do think, like, 133 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,399 all right, if me and Cinema and Murphy we get together because we're 134 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,960 smart, just put us in the rooms, put us just put us in 135 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,799 a rown. That's what I came here. Diet Coke, Yeah, we're 136 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:22,000 going to solve this problem. We got trust. But they don't. They 137 00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:30,000 never do. And McConnell, I mean I was talking to a well known 138 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,360 democratic, long time, well known Democratic commentator yesterday who said, man, 139 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,159 we used to fear McConnell like he was Darth Vader, but now I mean 140 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,639 he bungled this. He's got no he doesn't seem to know what's going on. 141 00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:46,360 That's incisive because it's one of the few things McConnell doesn't want to stop. 142 00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:50,600 So if Mitch McConnell wanted to stop a bad border deal in recognition that 143 00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:54,360 his voters, by the way, he represents one of the poorest states in 144 00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,759 the country. But the Republican voter, the average Republican voter would revolt and 145 00:10:00,879 --> 00:10:05,879 be furious and take this out on Senate Republicans electorally. If Mitch McConnell was 146 00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:09,519 smart enough to understand that he would stop a package like this, But he 147 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,840 doesn't because he was so desperate for Ukraine funding, and he said as much, 148 00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:18,159 basically desperate for Ukraine funding one and two just losing his grip. Yes, 149 00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:22,960 I mean, if we're fortunate, then the effects of age will hit 150 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,080 us pretty hard too someday, or if you live that long, but you 151 00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:30,519 just don't lose your ability to rule. I mean, there's no comparison. 152 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,279 Despite all the cheerleading from Politico and all the girl boss stuff between Nancy Pelosi's 153 00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:37,519 last run a Speaker of the House and her first run of Speaker of the 154 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:41,440 House, she was devastating in her first round of Speaker of the House to 155 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,519 Republicans and the next one. I mean, she spent most of it fighting 156 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,240 with the squad or whatever they call themselves, but she papered over those differences 157 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,519 and got them in line. And Republicans have learned a lesson that I think 158 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,919 the squad has not quite learned, even though the establishment Republicans say, you 159 00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:01,000 know, be more like the squad. Look at how much legislation they passed 160 00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:07,279 under Pelosi. Well, look at how much enthusiasm has waned for for Biden 161 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,240 and for Democrats in general, especially in some key issues. And what Republicans 162 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:16,840 have realized is if they acquiesce with the party establishment, they will not get 163 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:20,639 anything that they want. And this border deal is the perfect example of that. 164 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,279 They will not get anything they want and their voters will be pissed about 165 00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:24,879 it. And with the border deal, you got exactly that. They did 166 00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:28,039 not get anything that they want. They had funding sort of thrown at them. 167 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:35,240 But it's it's an open borders deal. That's the best way to describe 168 00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:37,120 it. Wall Street Journal deal, the Wall Street Journal. Do you know 169 00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:43,000 what's funny story about the Wall Street Journal? They endorsed the bill. Yes, 170 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,360 before anyone knew anything about the bill. Yes, they endorsed the secret 171 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,840 bill. And they said, this is my favorite part about that journal op 172 00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:56,960 ed. They endorsed the bill because they said the opposition to it is preemptive. 173 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,840 The opposition doesn't even know it's in the bill, so it's ridiculous not 174 00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:03,759 to endorse it. And the was Rey Journal is like, therefore, we 175 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,919 endorse it. And then when Senator Mike Lee wrote a letter saying this is 176 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,080 awful and this bill is going to be awful, the Rosco Journal said, 177 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,519 well, we can't run that criticism. After accepting it, they said they 178 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:22,039 cannot run that criticism because they don't know what's in it yet, but they 179 00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:24,759 endorsed it. Endorsed it. By the way, when it actually did come 180 00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:26,679 out, what was in it, it was everything that Mike Ley said, 181 00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:28,279 this is what I was going to talk about, but with the media coverage, 182 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,720 this is what I wanted to talk about. For the last couple of 183 00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:37,720 weeks, the media was running with the Republican establishment's line over and over again 184 00:12:37,759 --> 00:12:41,679 from Langford and McConnell because those are their sources who they trust and again like, 185 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:46,879 this is very obvious, trust, but verify. So they were running 186 00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:52,679 with this narrative that nobody really knows what's in this bill, that conservatives don't 187 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,840 have the full scoop and are jumping to conclusions, and then when the bill 188 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,600 was released it turned out to be exactly what everyone was say was going to 189 00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,600 have in it. And then the new line became from Cinema and Lankford. 190 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,759 Oh, you just don't understand the five thousand people a day thing is what 191 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,639 I read a PolitiFact, your favorite outlet, Chris, I know you read 192 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:15,120 them every morning. There was a piece from a twenty twenty graduate who is 193 00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:18,879 there, like border reporter over at PolitiFact, they're little gestapo's over there in 194 00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:24,000 fact checking a claim from it was Steve scale saying that this bill would allow 195 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,320 five thousand immigrants to cross a day and said, no, no, no, 196 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,159 it allows for five thousand encounters, which okay, is true. Sorry 197 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,919 that Steve Scaley's conflated encounters and people, which is what the media does all 198 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,559 of the time. So if you want to just fact check him on that 199 00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:45,000 point, fine, although you guys do that all the time too. But 200 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,840 it's perfect because it's like, it only allows for five thousand people, if 201 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:56,519 if are five thousand encounters, if those if it's not at that threshold, 202 00:13:56,759 --> 00:14:00,159 right, like so four nine hundred and ninety nine, right, that's the 203 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:05,000 one of the most controversial parts of this bill, and Langford and PolitiFact have 204 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,120 repeatedly said, well, no, you don't understand. It's like, why 205 00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:13,639 did you choose five thousand, why not one thousand. It's like, I'm 206 00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,720 sorry, I thought you couldn't close the border. I thought you could not 207 00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:20,360 close the border. But somehow you're saying, oh, you can close the 208 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,960 border if we get to four thousand, nine ninety nine. Yeah. Jay 209 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,360 Johnson under Obama said one thousand as a crisis, do you watch for them 210 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,919 to handle, which obviously it is because that's seven thousand encounters a week, 211 00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:37,600 so five thousand individual people, six thousand individuals somewhere around there that you have 212 00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:41,320 to detain. By law, you have to detain while you process their asylum. 213 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:45,840 It claims you have to process their asylum claims if they come to you 214 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,720 with a credible fear, you have to process those asylum claims. And you 215 00:14:48,799 --> 00:14:50,919 know what, Chris, I think that's a good law. I think we 216 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,559 should have some system where you have to give asylum Cuban refugees, who are 217 00:14:54,559 --> 00:14:58,759 some of the best Americans. You have to give them an asylum hearing, 218 00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:03,559 but you also have to detain them. And that is entirely possible if you 219 00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:07,200 do things like I don't know, remain in Mexico, which you don't have 220 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:13,519 to pass a bill to do. The Watchdout on Wall Street podcast with Chris 221 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,960 Markowski every day Chris helps unpack the connection between politics and the economy and how 222 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000 it affects your wallet. Did your own tax dollars help pay for the massacre 223 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,200 in Israel? As the federal government continues to give billions to fund most of 224 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,879 the United Nations, turns out ten percent of members on their active payroll helped 225 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,000 perpetrate amasa's attacks in Israel. Whether it's happening in DC or down on Wall 226 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,960 Street, it's affecting you financially. Be informed. Check out the Watch dot 227 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,360 on Wall Street podcast with Chris Markowski on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you 228 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:50,080 get your podcasts. I think our legal immigration laws are a mess as well 229 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,159 as are yeah, as our enforcement of the legal immigration And you know, 230 00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:58,600 I like that you're still simping for Ema Lazara over there, But I'm in 231 00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:02,679 no mood for seen any of it, and neither of the voters. And 232 00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:04,519 it's kind of but we don't have to discuss it. That's the point We 233 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,559 like, best case scenario, we can pass legislation. Sure, but do 234 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,440 you think the Biden trick is going to win that Republicans have rejected this deal. 235 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,600 They're just playing politics with the border. Yes, because of the media. 236 00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:22,000 Because the even, I mean, the thing about Donald Trump's presidency is 237 00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:26,639 it exposed DC's lie. DC always basically acted like the border was an insolvable 238 00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:33,000 problem, and with a series of executive orders, he was able to slow 239 00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:37,360 immigraty lego immigration to a trickle of what it is right now. Yeah, 240 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,639 So I kind of hope that that pushes through the because, I mean, 241 00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:45,120 most people in this country, the vast, vast, vast majority, don't 242 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,159 live on the border, don't know anything about really what the border is. 243 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,879 Like the CNN and the New York Times and the Washington Posts paint a rosy 244 00:16:52,960 --> 00:17:00,639 picture of like immigrants coming to America Godfather too style thing of those guys dectually 245 00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,160 turned out to the criminals. I hope that's not their example, although they 246 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,000 would be dumb enough. It actually looked more like scarface and the intro scarface. 247 00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:11,640 But they paint this rosy picture of it and most people don't actually see 248 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,359 it. But after Trump was able to slow it to a trickle. They 249 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,200 can't just go back. I mean, it's so without a bill. By 250 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,000 the way, it's so cynical to say these six or so things that Tristan 251 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:30,359 documented that the Babama Biden White House is done to reverse security at the border 252 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,480 that have caused this. And now how he comes and says this is Trump's 253 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,240 fault. I mean, it reminds me of like of the time the Democrats 254 00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:41,079 went with Republicans defunded the police work. That one didn't work. That one 255 00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:45,440 didn't work. I'm wondering if this one will work. Let me explain why. 256 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,440 I think because the media keeps on blaming Trump. Well that and because 257 00:17:48,519 --> 00:17:52,599 Todd Ben's been reported in the Washington Post he has a source that shared confidential 258 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,960 numbers with him, and this has been confirmed by other outlets since that. 259 00:17:56,519 --> 00:18:00,440 And we had we did a whole podcast with Todd not that long ago week 260 00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:06,519 about this that Biden has struck an agreement with AMLO so that's President of Mexico, 261 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,200 to have him start doing border enforcement in Mexico within Mexico, so at 262 00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:14,559 Mexico southern border, and then they shut down Labisia that trained and a lot 263 00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:18,000 of migrants were just hitching their not their wagons, but like literally jumping on 264 00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:22,519 the train and riding up north on And that AMLO took all of these different 265 00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:27,319 steps, and so immigration slowed significantly still to a relative like kind of crisis 266 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:33,119 level by Jay Johnson's standards, but had slowed from this absolute deluge to a 267 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,920 relative trickle, even though that level of trickle is still very serious, because 268 00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:44,119 it's a serious trickle. Because Biden had struck an agreement around Christmas time, 269 00:18:44,319 --> 00:18:48,400 likely with AMLO, because why well, the page of the calendar had turned 270 00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:52,759 to an election year, and there are so many things at the Biden administration's 271 00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:56,319 disposal that they can now do to say, Joe Biden stepped up, Joe 272 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:02,599 Biden the diplomat has has struck an agreement with Amlow. Joe Biden has done 273 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,000 X, Y and Z, and you know, well in Congress and actually, 274 00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:11,960 in fact, yesterday NBC News reported there's an Alley Vitally report that because 275 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:18,279 the Biden administration is expecting these numbers with AMLOW can't be maintained. They because 276 00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:26,160 they're expecting that they are looking at executive authorities that Biden can take. Basically, 277 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,759 this wasn't in the NBC report, but reading between the lines to make 278 00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:33,559 him look like the quote unquote adult in the room. After Republicans torpedoed the 279 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,279 bill over electoral concerns, and when Donald Trump was alleged to have stepped in, 280 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,119 which I think you and I both have heard since is real, he 281 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,720 did say something to the senators that they can't pass an immigration deal during an 282 00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:48,240 election year. That's the line the media ran with, even though from all 283 00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:52,640 accounts what he said was you can't pass a deal in an election year. 284 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,880 That's this bad right, and the media just ran with it so cynically. 285 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,279 And so if the numbers start to drop and Biden takes executive action and the 286 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,440 media does that, that's a really powerful combination in what will be a very 287 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,359 close election year. So will a lot of Americans might not buy it, 288 00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:11,960 it probably will be powerful with a slice of the electorate that's sort of independent 289 00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:17,200 voters or their dams. College educated women, well there's that too, although 290 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,920 I don't know that they're voting on immigration at all. They're just voting wrong. 291 00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:23,000 They're voting on vibes, they're voting on that. I say that as 292 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,599 a college educated woman, you know vot on vibes vibes alone, you are 293 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:33,920 the worst vibes alone. Wherever the wide es infidel takes me on November sixth, 294 00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:37,240 the night before whenever that is a friend of mine, is a campaign 295 00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:41,960 consultant across the country, send me a message earlier today that he was in 296 00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:48,160 a group of they were doing a lot of pulling against generic rs, and 297 00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:56,599 generic R was winning. And basically every single grouping is that the one college 298 00:20:57,079 --> 00:21:02,640 educated women. Yeah, twenty five points. It's just like, nope, 299 00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:06,759 vibes are bad. The vibes are bad. Yeah, not great. Even 300 00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:10,839 though, even though, and this will come as no surprise to you, 301 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,759 as the author of the Art of the Donald. Foreign President Donald J. 302 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,440 Trump bears a striking resemblance to Elvis, as he illustrated brilliantly on his Instagram 303 00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:25,640 this week. Don't see incredible Instagram post, just boomer posting like championship level 304 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,519 gold medal Boomer posts where Donald Trump put you know he had dance giving it. 305 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,720 He's like, Dan, get that picture of Elvis that it looks like 306 00:21:32,839 --> 00:21:36,680 me. Put its side by side. You have to post this on the 307 00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:41,599 Instagram And it said for so many years people have said that I look like 308 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,759 Elvis. What do you think? It's just the caption. You ever read 309 00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:48,759 the Art of the Deal, Dan, There's there's numerous parts for you kind 310 00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:53,920 of he talks about how handsome he is in a very unironic fashion. I 311 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,880 don't know, I never looked at Donald Tchoumpo like that that there's a handsome 312 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:02,039 man. Who have you looked at? And so that Tucker No, like 313 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,759 the Marlboro Cowboy. Yeah, Samuel Elliott, that's a handsome man. That's 314 00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:12,039 your type. Plenty Eastwood. Yeah, oh okay, not saying hot, 315 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,160 I'm saying handsome. It's right different, It's very different. But Donald Trump's 316 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,079 like, yeah, they didn't want to let me into their club because I 317 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,240 knew that I was such a handsome guy. And he just puts that down 318 00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:23,279 in his book. You know, I met a fan of the art of 319 00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:26,000 that. You laugh. I met a fan of the art of the Donald 320 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:29,160 this morning. This morning my book, yeah said they found it illuminating. 321 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,640 The president of a Catholic university. Oh no, yeah, I know. 322 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,799 Wow, it's great. This morning was a National Catholic Prayer breakfast. Oh 323 00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:40,680 that's why you're dressed up in your embroidered duck pants. Well, I also 324 00:22:40,759 --> 00:22:45,440 have work today. Yeah, But in all seriousness, back to the topic 325 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,680 at hands. I actually derailed that one with the Donald Trump Instagram post, 326 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,079 but the media took that narrative and ran with it because it was being spoon 327 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,000 fed to them. Do you think it was lackeys? What's annoying to me? 328 00:22:56,279 --> 00:22:57,759 It works with like ten percent of the population, which is enough. 329 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,960 Yeah. What's the annoying to me is that Donald Trump didn't sink this deal. 330 00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:04,720 This deal. They're all like this, this is a sign of the 331 00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:11,559 amazing control he has. So the media hasn't given an ounce of attention to 332 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,440 how to understanding why people support Trump in the first place. Is a racist 333 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:21,400 and they haven't given any They're so unwilling to even accept that people would be 334 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,839 against amnesty that they say it must be because of the cult of Trump. 335 00:23:25,559 --> 00:23:27,160 It's like, Yo, Trump reads the room, dude. You know how 336 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,279 Trump got so good at this? He watches a lot of TV, a 337 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,759 lot of TV, yep, and he goes out and he actually has much 338 00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:37,960 more in touch with what people feel than Lankfort. It's like, I'm going 339 00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:41,920 to solve this. Trump knows what makes him angry. Yep, I know 340 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,799 Trump. Trump's not like Enoch Powell, some statesman out there. If the 341 00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:51,000 people were for immigration, Trump would be for immigration, I think. But 342 00:23:51,519 --> 00:23:55,400 they're not and he's not. So he's Johnny come lately to this. I 343 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:00,359 mean, there are people out there like Mike Lee and others who have been 344 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,359 principally fighting this for a long time and we're never going to vote on it. 345 00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:07,559 And hey, maybe if Donald Trump would come out and endorse this bill 346 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,640 and said you should pass that, yeah, Democrats probably could have passed it 347 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,640 with a bunch of a couple squishy Republicans who would have felt the cover. 348 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000 Oh so, here's another thing that hasn't been talked about. I don't think 349 00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:19,240 Chuck Schumer took this bill seriously for a damn second. I think he let 350 00:24:19,319 --> 00:24:22,680 Kristen Cinema take it seriously. But I think Chuck Schumer knew that this bill 351 00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:26,160 was absolutely never going to pass, which is why they allowed for some of 352 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,839 the funding to go into it and whatever, because the squad would have raised 353 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,279 holy hell about that bill, and some of their allies in the Senate would 354 00:24:34,279 --> 00:24:37,160 have raised holy hell about that bill too. So I actually don't know, 355 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,960 like we've heard from Democratic leadership in cinema, but Donnick would Democrats have basically 356 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,680 had to say nothing about this bill other than serious like Chris Murphy and Kirsten 357 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,880 Cinema when they never actually had to be serious about this bill. They never 358 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,119 actually had a vote on it. And I think they knew they never had 359 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,960 to vote on it, because there's no way whereas I think Mitch McConnell was 360 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,880 caught off guard to your point. He literally said, the mood in the 361 00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:02,640 country has changed, which is why he didn't think that they should take a 362 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,279 boat on the Bilt, like it's changed since like two thousand and seven, 363 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,519 maybe, but not since the last week. Buddy, Listen, people who 364 00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:12,599 are in the room with McConnell, which I'm not, tell me that he 365 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,960 needs his age to keep up and understand conversations at this point. Yeah, 366 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,160 my neighbors saw him getting out of his car the other day. He needed 367 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,640 to be picked out. I mean, I've got no problem with that. 368 00:25:22,079 --> 00:25:25,960 I helped my grandfather out of the car at end of the car. For 369 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,200 years, he wasn't running the Senate anymore. Your grandfather had no control over 370 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,359 the Senning. He was no longer running the Cenate used to be a rocket 371 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,680 scientist. They would not let him near rockets. By that point, you 372 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:41,200 know, this is agent feebles you. Eventually, old agent feebles you. 373 00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:45,319 This is a lot of wisdom that comes with the experience. But people are 374 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,319 no longer afraid of McConnell. People are no longer afraid of Pelosi. She 375 00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:52,160 actually stepped aside. I would have been afraid of Pelosi though. Anyway, 376 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,960 even at her worst, she was better than McConnell. Now, maybe McConnell's 377 00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:03,240 mastery is has waned and it's you know what, it doesn't make sense. 378 00:26:04,079 --> 00:26:08,920 I really don't understand his play to stake his reputation and the sake of his 379 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,119 legacy on Ukraine funding. Dems know more about the average Republican voter than Mitch 380 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:21,519 McConnell and Josh Holmes and the fellows over at Ruthless do. Because I don't 381 00:26:21,519 --> 00:26:25,480 know if you saw Josh Holmes have an absolute meltdown and claim that Mike custs 382 00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:29,480 a lot too. Everyone we used to curse our listeners, told to stop 383 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,119 like we have children about that, and you know do we always remember that? 384 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,920 But he flipped out and said that Mike Lee only cares about protecting hamas. 385 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,839 On an episode of Ruthless, I just went completely into melt down. 386 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,680 I don't worry. Funny it was funny from our vantage point because he sounded 387 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,240 like a seventh grade girl. It was genuinely hilarious. But because I said 388 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:56,160 lots of crazy things in this podcast, it could be isolated. Was it 389 00:26:56,319 --> 00:27:00,200 like that somebody should start that would be fun for everyone? But it was. 390 00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:06,119 No. It was a genuine sort of fit of hysteria. Again, 391 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,440 like it was it was sort of middle school, seventh grade girl in the 392 00:27:08,519 --> 00:27:15,200 locker room realizing she forgot Well, this was a moment of I would say, 393 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,759 unreasonable conduct. We all have them, yes, And he was very 394 00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:23,039 very upset at Mike Lee and said that Mike Lee only cares about protecting hamas, 395 00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:29,119 which is just an amazing if you are the reason that church it's one 396 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:36,160 of their top hamas hysteria. I think is relevant here because it was I 397 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,839 think telling that they were surprised by how other Republican senators reacted to the bill. 398 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,599 And that's and I don't think Chuck Schumer was surprised. I think Chuck 399 00:27:42,599 --> 00:27:47,440 Schumer knew that this bill was going to be dead on arrival, and meanwhile 400 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:55,920 McConnell Lackey's had a total meltdown because they really thought that they really thought that 401 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,839 Lankford had it. They thought he had it in the bag. I was 402 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:07,799 on ingram an old angle a few times when she was explicitly saying to Langford, 403 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,319 you're going to regret this. Do not do this, do not do 404 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,279 this. You're going to regret it. They're going to trick you. It 405 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,640 just surprised me that he took the bait. I can see what the McConnell 406 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,519 people are melting down. I mean, their access to a lot of financial 407 00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:29,319 success and impact and influence in this country and then mostly in here in Rome 408 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,160 is based entirely on now at this point, just propping up Mitch McConnell in 409 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,200 the car and driving around the city. And they're still in charge so they 410 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,759 can keep cashing checks. Yeah, I mean yeah, but maybe the next 411 00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:45,440 the next minority leader or majority leader will be a fan ally and they'llsoll have 412 00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:52,480 sway. But I mean McConnell being able to push employers around and push other 413 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,480 people around for them, and them having access to him, that's that's key. 414 00:28:56,599 --> 00:29:02,200 I mean, I think Baraco state. Was really interesting because so you 415 00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:06,079 had cornn signaling that he was pretty milk toast on this bill. So you 416 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,400 have the Johns, you have just putting milk toasts on something, I mean, 417 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,640 not doing it. He seemed like he was signaling that it should be 418 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,799 a no from Republican senators and putting milk toast. I don't know, but 419 00:29:17,519 --> 00:29:19,480 don't question me in the middle of a set. I've never heard that expression 420 00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:23,400 that he was. Yeah, he was. He was warm on the bill. 421 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,559 He was like, I'm not look that up, cool on the bill. 422 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:27,920 Whatever you want me to say. He wasn't. He was lukewarm on 423 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,519 the bill. It's probably a better way to say it if we're doing this 424 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:36,319 by the scale of water temperature. But that was interesting because these are the 425 00:29:36,359 --> 00:29:41,720 guys that are in line to replace McConnell, Cornyn, Barrasso, Tom Taillis. 426 00:29:41,799 --> 00:29:47,039 Maybe, but Barrasso and Cornyn were both like eh. And Barrasso put 427 00:29:47,079 --> 00:29:51,359 out a statement blaming Biden for failing Langford, which I thought was funny. 428 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,880 But also again to your point about the McConnell guys, you're supposed to be 429 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,920 the chosen one. Yeah, yeah, So maybe the mcconaugh guys do have 430 00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:03,480 access to b Aso and Cornyn and moverere else, but that moment, their 431 00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:06,799 ability to read the tea leaves and to get paid for reading the tea leaves 432 00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:10,279 as soon as people realize that, you know, they were dumb enough to 433 00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:12,440 put their hope in a bill like this and then dumb enough to publicly claim 434 00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:17,079 that Mike Lee only didn't support it because he wants to protect a moss. 435 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,680 I mean, that's a that's a new level of stupid. And so their 436 00:30:19,759 --> 00:30:25,599 ability to make money off of this stuff. I don't know, maybe that's 437 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,039 what's really going on here. Yeah, that's the meltdown. I mean you 438 00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:36,079 see it anytime a political leader goes down there or are always enourages around that 439 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,920 person whose power is completely derived from that person. I mean, we're fortunate 440 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:48,119 to me in an industry that's different from that where you know, when Molly 441 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,440 is ninety years old and no longer making strong calculations and crushing people on the 442 00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:56,759 hill, it's not like you're you don't have to drive her around town propping 443 00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:03,039 her up. I would do it that mark the vineyard after after her testimony 444 00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:06,880 yesterday. It was amazing. I would physically carry Molly anywhere. It was 445 00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:08,920 I had so many people said, ninety year old, nine year old Molly, 446 00:31:10,119 --> 00:31:15,400 I will drag her up the mountaintop when I am seventy. She might 447 00:31:15,519 --> 00:31:19,000 love it. Take I missed that. I was. I was texting with 448 00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:23,880 her yesterday and I never said like good luck or great job. I was 449 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,680 like, oh, I guess Molly was busy today while I was texting her 450 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:33,720 about whatever. Texting her important Netflix. Listen. I need to maintain my 451 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,839 access to power, power to cash us chet. That's what this is about. 452 00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:41,440 And you know what, I'll say it, Mark Hemingway only cares about 453 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:47,880 protecting hamas. That's true. You know we're kidding, We're kidding. I'm 454 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,759 just going to not tell anybody that I just said Mark and cares about protecting 455 00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:55,920 Hamas. And see if they listen to the podcast we get a response to 456 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,920 that, because we will. Surely we will. With Christopher Bedford, I 457 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,039 think is just about lunchtime. Let's do it all right. Well, you've 458 00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:07,079 been listening to another edition of The Federalist or radio hour. I me Emily 459 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,039 Dashinski called for editor here at The Federalist. We'll be back soon with more. 460 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,920 Until then, be lovers of freedom and anxious for the fright
