How can we not focus on the invasion of America first?

probably among the many reasons Senator Marco ruia said you security border Provisions uh it's going to be impossible to get his vote on anything else for the time being he's kind enough to join US senator what do you first make of this right now there does seem to be an arrest of you know a 15-year-old migrant who slipped through got into this country could have done even a lot worse harm what do you think yeah I'm very close to the Venezuelan migrant community that have been coming here over 7 million have left Venezuelan not all to hear and they've been telling me for a year now that the people coming that a lot of the people coming they're seeing clear signs of gang activity that they recognize these criminal gangs from back in their time in Venezuela you know I didn't know what to make of it at the time now I see exactly what they're talking about and uh and it's not just Venezuelan migrants but obviously we got it look 3.3 million people came to this country illegally and were released 600 over 600,000 of them had criminal records or pending criminal records and there were others that had no records and are criminals you're seeing it play out now all of it because Joe Biden became the first president in American history to decide that we would no longer detain single adults crossing our border that it would be inhumane to do it and so I think people at home are asking themselves you they probably support a lot of Americans would rather help Ukraine than see Putin lose but how can we not take care of our problems first how can we not how can we not focus on the invasion of America First why are we not staying here this weekend to fight and argue over how best to stop this which by the way we don't need legislation for the president could do it cuz he created this through his own executive actions and that's been my argument it reflects what I think most people in the real world would say and that is before we help others we got to help ourselves if we're unstable at home what good are we to our allies or anyone else around the world so when you hear that um you know this security measure fell through um and for a variety of reasons many of which you alluded to uh there has been building frustration I've noticed Senator your colleague Ted Cruz in fact said says that Mitch McConnell who pushed that shouldn't shouldn't even be your leader in in the Senate do you agree with that well I don't think this is a leadership issue right now we have leadership votes every two years and we can debate that at that moment I think this has to very simply do with this they're going around telling people that this was the best border security bill ever and maybe they believe it I know immigration law and I know what it means and one of the things that's in there there's a lot I don't have enough time in this broadcast to go through it all but I can't vote for a deal that creates an asylum core where Bureau RS can now they're have thousands of bureaucrats to go to the border and basically be empowered to either release people at the border with a work immediate work permit today they have to wait 6 months or in some cases grant them Asylum people realize what Asylum means Asylum means you are on a 5year clock to becoming a citizen and a voter and that's why they inserted that in there they that's what they want they want more voters they want more citizens that will thank them for letting them into the country and that's only going to cause more people to come you talk about an incentive from migration you're going to have 4 or 500,000 a month coming if we did that that's just one aspect of that deal we don't but the immigration law hasn't changed we have the same law today that we did in December of 2019 before all of this craziness really began the difference is Joe Biden ordered his agencies to turn the narrow exceptions for humanitarian release into the rule he let exceptions become the rule and today we basically release 85% of anyone who crosses the border illegally including people with criminal records including people who we have no idea who they are Senator um a lot has been made of of Joe Biden and what some of your colleagues think is a double standard when it comes to possession of classified documents okay if it's him not okay if it's Donald Trump be that as it may of course the revelations of the justification for this was that uh you get the impression from the report it's because uh none of this was intentional on the on the president's part uh that he's essentially a daughtering old man now if that is indeed the case do you think Joe Biden should step down now well let's a couple things the straight set straight the the report found every element of a crime in fact it said it was intentional he knew what he was doing and and they knew all that what it said was even though all the elements of the crime exist we're going to use prosecutorial discretion and not prosecute Because by the time he's no longer president he might be an 85-year old man and already even now based on our interviews he looks like a you know nice old man who suffers from me memor problems and we don't think we're going to be able to get a jury to convict them so we believe we shouldn't go forward with a IND with a with charges even though the element of the crime is been met but he's also saying the prosecution is also saying sir that that he he was not even aware of what he's doing he was forgetting a lot of this that aside those are grounds enough absolutely but do you think that those are grounds enough and and the revelations enough even the president's protest after the fact last night where he seemed to actually dig an even deeper forgetful hole that that he is up to the task should he quit no I think that's a very valid question and I it's one that I have um I can't assess the president other than what I see publicly and what others have seen look we have eyes but the biggest problem here and I'm always careful about this because there's plenty of reasons to vote against Joe Biden in November beyond the fact that he has what appears to be age- related dementia which is a big deal but I mean beyond that there's a lot of reasons to vote against him but I also know that this conversation and and and that report is also being read in Beijing it's being read in Iran it's being read in Moscow it's being read by these terrorists hiding out in their little caves and it may incite them or invite them to take action against this country it puts our country in danger no one's talking about that piece of it and then look there's embedded hypocrisy here right I mean I guess the only special prosecutors we are allowed to attack are those that go after Trump but if they go after Biden then they can say anything they want about the special prosecutor appointed by mer Garland by the way I think prosecutorial discretion I have no problem with that but it has to be fair it's the same argument I made about Mar marago it should not have been brought to trial the damage that indictment has done is more than the damage of storing it at maral Lago was and and um and and I argued that at the time and they did in that case they didn't use it in this case they did and but I obviously think we can't ignore what it said about his memory all right on that same issue a lot of Democrats have come and talked to me today who say well you know then people should scrutinize Donald Trump speeches he he misplaces and mix up names and individuals and they want like a Jihad on this issue of who remembers and forgets what what do you think of that and is that what you get when you run two old men against each other for the highest office in the land but but I think that's what campaigns are going to be about and I think voters will make that assessment and I think we've been making that assessment I I don't think anyone that's being honest or Fair would say that there's any comparison to the way Donald Trump performs and the way Joe Biden does look our people that are concerned about his memory about his Acuity and our mental acuity are not basing it off one report they're basing it off watching this guy for the last two or three years I mean this is not just now this has been going on for a while and we know this and we know we've heard the same murmur coming quietly out of democratic circles as well we've seen that okay we know that that is a problem it's not just an age thing I know people there are people that serve in the Senate that are past 80 and are clear as a whistle can remember things from a long time ago and there you know so it's not it it has to do with you know for whatever he's going through whatever it is you know it's apparent to people you're watching it on television watching we watched it again last night you know and and then he goes up out there and screams about um you know Israel's gone over the top just think about you know I imagine that was unscripted he's here asking for more money for Israel war effort which I support and then he's saying he's going they're going over the top so he's asking us to fund something that's over the top I mean it's just issue time and time again things that make no sense that he keeps doing and look I'm concerned about it primarily because our adversaries are seeing this and if they think that he is not at the task they may do things that wouldn't otherwise do say what you want about Trump they were scared of him they were they didn't know what he was going to do they thought he was capable of anything and um we didn't have these things going on around the world because they respected and frankly feared him I think they fear Joe Biden
