>> GET READY FOR ROUND TWO.
FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS
HITTING PRESIDENT BIDEN WHERE IT
HURTS, HIS OWN BACKYARD.
DELAWARE OFFICIALS ARE PREPARING
FOR THE NEXT BATCH OF MIGRANTS
LANDING 20 MILES AWAY FROM JOE
BIDEN’S VACATION HOME IN
REHOBOTH BEACH, WHERE THEY’LL
GET TOP STAR TREATMENT, MAYBE
JOE HAS A SPARE ROOM OR TWO TO
HOUSE THEM.
BIDEN DOESN’T SOUND WORRIED
ABOUT IT.
LISTEN.
>> THEY’RE SENDING MIGRANTS TO
DELAWARE.
DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT OR
RESPONSE TO THAT?
>> COME VISIT.
WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SHORELINE.
>> RON DESANITY DESANTIS, NOT BA
DOWN, TAKING SHOTS AT THE MEDIA
WHILE FIRING BACK AT A TEXAS
SHERIFF FOR OPENING A CRIMINAL
PROBE INTO LAST WEEK’S MIGRANT
FLIGHTS TO THE VINEYARD.
>> I HAVEN’T HEARD A PEEP ABOUT
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN
TOLD BY BIDEN YOU CAN JUST COME
IN AND THEY’RE GOING, THEY’RE
BEING ABUSED BY THE CARTELS,
THEY’RE DROWNING IN THE RIO
GRANDE.
YOU HAD 50 THAT DIED IN SOME
SHED IN TEXAS.
I HEARD NO OUTRAGE ABOUT ANY OF
THAT.
I HAVEN’T HEARD OUTRAGE ABOUT
ALL THE FENTANYL HATS ACROSS THE
BORDER, KILLING AMERICANS IN
RECORD NUMBERS.
THE ONLY THING I HEAR THEM
GETTING UPSET ABOUT IS YOU HAVE
50 THAT END UP IN MARTHA’S VINEYARD, THEN THEY GET UPSET.
VINEYARD, THEN THEY GET UPSET.
>> THIS COMES AS PRESIDENT
BIDEN’S BORDER CROSSINGS HAVE
TOPPED 2 MILLION FOR THIS FISCAL
YEAR, AND 78 WERE SUSPECTED
TERRORISTS TRYING TO SNEAK INTO
THE UNITED STATES, AN ALL-TIME
HIGH, AND THE YEAR ISN’T OVER
YET.
GREG, WE’RE AWAITING FOOTAGE OF
THESE MIGRANTS TOUCHING DOWN
NEAR REHOBOTH BEACH.
HOW WILL THAT PLAY OUT?
>> OBVIOUSLY I THINK IT’S
BRILLIANT.
YOU CAN CALL IT A STUNT, USING
PEOPLE AS PROPS, BUT THAT’S HOW
THE REPUBLICANS LEARNED THAT
FROM THE DEMOCRATS.
THE BALL HAS BEEN MOVED DOWN THE
FIELD ON THIS.
THE IMMEDIATE DEMOCRATIC
RESPONSE HAS NOT BEEN TO ATTACK
THE PROBLEM WITH SOLUTIONS, BUT
TO ATTACK THE PERSON WITH THE
SOLUTIONS, WHICH IS DESANTIS,
RIGHT?
IT’S FUNNY TO SEE THEIR EXCUSES
DURING THIS.
FOR EXAMPLE, THEY BELIEVE THAT
THE WHOLE GOAL OF REPUBLICANS
NOW IS TO, QUOTE, OWN THE LIBS.
NO.
IT WAS SIMPLY TO ATTRACT
ATTENTION TO A PROBLEM.
YOU ARE OWNING YOURSELF.
THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE ICING ON
THE CAKE, RIGHT?
SO I THINK THAT YOU’RE SEEING
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS.
WHEN DEMOCRATS REALIZE THERE’S A
NEW FORMIDABLE REPUBLICAN OUT
THERE, SUDDENLY YOU HAVE A NEW
HITLER. THEN THE OLD HITLER -- WELL,
THEN THE OLD HITLER -- WELL,
MAYBE HE’S NOT SO BAD.
SUDDENLY "THE NEW YORK TIMES" IS
SAYING TRUMP IS FUNNY, AND HE
NEVER TOOK HIMSELF AND CHARMING.
SUDDENLY THE GUY THEY CALLED
HITLER IS NOT HITLER, BECAUSE
NOT EVERYBODY CAN BE HITLER AT
ONCE, RIGHT?
OBVIOUSLY THIS HAPPENED WHEN
THEY DEMONNIZED ROMNEY.
WHEN TRUMP CAME ALONG, ROMNEY
BECAME A STATESMAN.
ROMNEY WAS EVIL BEFORE McCAIN
BECAME A MODERATE.
THEY DO ALL THE TIME.
YOU HAVE TO BE FAIR THAT THE
REPUBLICANS AREN’T DOING THE
BEST WHEN IT COMES TO TALKING
ABOUT IMMIGRATION.
IT COMES DOWN TO PRONOUNS.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS,
RIGHT?
WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT SEPARATING
PROCESS FROM PEOPLE.
IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MIGRANTS.
IT’S ABOUT THE PROCESS.
I THINK REPUBLICANS, WE HAVE A
PROBLEM, OF SAYING I’M NOT A
REPUBLICAN, BUT I ALWAYS THINK
THAT WAY.
WE SAY THEY WHEN WE SHOULD BE
SAYING WE.
WE SHOULD SAY, THEY ARE COMING
BY THE MILLIONS, THEY ARE
INVADING, CROSSING OUR BORDER.
SOUNDS MEAN WHEN YOU SAY THEY.
WE NEED TO USE THE PRONOUN WE
AND SAY WE NEED A PROCESS
OVERHAUL, WE NEED TO MAKE IT
EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN TO
THIS COUNTRY THROUGH A PROCESS.
WE NEED TO TAKE CONTROL OF OUR
BORDER SO WE CAN LET PEOPLE IN.
JUST THAT LITTLE TWIST FROM THEY
TO WE, I THINK WOULD WIN OVER A
LOT OF PEOPLE.
I THINK THAT’S KIND OF ALWAYS
BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A MISTAKE.
>> AS A COMMUNICATIONS EXPERT,
DANA, DO YOU AGREE WITH GREG’S
INTERCEPTION?
>> I DO, BECAUSE IT’S HARD TO
ARGUE WITH THAT.
BOTH SIDES SAY WE NEED A
LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT TO
GET SOMETHING DONE.
I THINK IT’S SUPER SMART.
THEPRESIDENT BIDEN SAID IMMIGRAT
IS DOWN, BUT AT THE SAME TIME
THEY ANNOUNCED THE LARGEST
NUMBERS IN HISTORY, 2 MILLION
CROSSING THIS YEAR TO DATE.
ALSO NBC’S POLLING TODAY SHOWED
SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING, THAT
REPUBLICANS HAD THE LARGEST LEAD
IN HISTORY ON WHO AMERICANS
TRUST ON THE ECONOMY, CRIME, AND
IMMIGRATION.
THE OTHER THING ABOUT THIS,
REMEMBER HOW, GREG, WHEN WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT CANCEL CULTURE,
YOU TALKED ABOUT SHARING THE
RISK.
THIS STUNT, IN POLITICS IT’S A
STUNT, POLICY IS POLICIES.
STUNTS IS POLITICS.
WE NEED TO SHARE THE RISKS, THAT
THE BORDER STATES CAN’T BEAR THE
BURDEN ON THIS.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS IN
CHARGE OF IMMIGRATION, BUT
THEY’RE NOT PAYING FOR IT.
TEXAS STATE TAXPAYERS HAVE PAID
FOR A LOT OF THE WORK THAT
GOVERNOR ABBOTT HAS TRIED TO DO
IN ORDER TO SHORE UP THE BORDER
THERE.
>> BILLIONS.
>> BILLIONS OF STATE TAXPAYER
THAT IS THAT HAVE HAVE GONE TO
SCHOOLS, INFRASTRUCTURE, MAYBE
CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTS IF THEY
WANTED THAT, BUT INSTEAD THEY
GET TODON’T GET TO DO THAT.
AND ARIZONA AS A BORDER STATE,
SENATOR MARK KELLY, FILMED IN
FRONT OF THE BORDER WALL
PROJECTS, BUT HE VOTED TO END
TITLE XLII, 100% WITH BIDEN ON
THESE ISSUES, EXCEPT FOR THE
PHOTO OPS. >> EVENTUALLY THE DEMOCRATS WILL
>> EVENTUALLY THE DEMOCRATS WILL
HAVE COME TO NEGOTIATING TABLE,
BECAUSE THEY CAN KEEP FLYING
THEM TO THESE AREAS.
THERE’S NOTHING THAT CAN STOP
THEM.
>> GREG, YOU’RE RIGHT.
TALKING IT THAT WAY WOULD BE A
GOOD START FOR EVERYBODY.
I WOULD HOPE THAT BOTH GOVERNOR
DESANTIS AND GOVERNOR ABBOTT,
MAYBE EVEN THE GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA, WOULD ORGANIZE AND
ARIZONA, WOULD ORGANIZE AND
INVITE MAYOR BOWSER, MAYOR
LIGHTFOOT, IF EVERYONE GOT
COMFORTABLE WITH THE POLITICS
AROUND IT.
GREG, YOU’RE RIGHT, DESANTIS
THIS IS A GOOD DUAL BETWEEN HE
AND DONALD TRUMP, BECOMING THE
FACE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
POLITICS ARE ABOUT THE FUTURE,
OFFERING IDEAS.
IF HE OFFERS A POLICY STRATEGY,
A POLICY ANSWER TO THIS AS
OPPOSED TO -- THE STUNTS ARE
FINE.
GOOD POLITICS LEAD TO GOOD
POLICY -- HE WILL FIND HIMSELF
IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT ON THE
REPUBLICAN SIDE.
I’VE SAID ALL ALONG, THE POLLING IS TIGHT.
IS TIGHT.
NO DOUBT THAT REPUBLICANS --
DEMOCRATS, IF WE’RE SERIOUS
ABOUT WINNING IN NOVEMBER, WE
MUST HAVE A STRATEGY ON THE
BORDER WITHIN THE NEXT FEW
WEEKS.
IF THE REPUBLICANS DON’T OFFER
AN AFFIRMATIVE WAY TO GO ABOUT
CAMPAIGNING BEFORE NOVEMBER,
THIS ISSUE COULD OFFSET THE
ADVANTAGES WE HAVE.
SOME DON’T THINK THAT.
IT COULD BE A JUMP BALL, BUT I’D
MUCH RATHER HAVE A STRATEGY ON
THE BORDER THAN NOT.
>> I THINK WE ALL WANT A
STRATEGY ON THE BORDER.
LOOK, THIS THING HAS BEEN GOING
ON FOR TOO LONG, BUT DANA HIT
THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WHEN SHE
SAID THAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE
AHEAD ON ISSUES OF ECONOMY,
CRIME, AND THE BORDER.
SO THE REPUBLICANS ARE AHEAD.
THE CONVERSATION THAT NEEDS TO
BE HAD IS A FEDERAL
CONVERSATION.
IMMIGRATION IS A FEDERAL ISSUE.
NOW, JUST TODAY, WHEN WE’RE ON
THE CUSP OF 2ENS 1 MILLION
IMMIGRANTS COMING INTO THIS
COUNTRY IN ONE YEAR, WITH 78 OF
THEM ON THE TERROR WATCH LIST,
AND IF YOU’LL RECALL ONLY 19
HIJACKERS WHO KILLED 3,000
AMERICANS, WITH 78 OF THEM THAT
WE CAUGHT, AND WHAT IS IT,
900,000 GETAWAYS, GOTAWAYS, YOU
KNOW, WE’VE GOT A PROBLEM RIGHT
NOW.
SO WHEN THE PRESIDENT COMES OUT
AND HE SAYS, LOOK, THE NORTHERN
TRIANGLE ISN’T THE PROBLEM
ANYWHERE, SO, KAMALA, YOU KNOW,
YOU NEVER GAVE US AN ANSWER, BUT
DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT ANYMORE.
WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NICK ROG
COULD, VENEZUELA AND CUBA,
BECAUSE NONE OF THEM WILL TAKE
THEIR IMMIGRANTS BACK, THE
PEOPLE WHO LEAVE THOSE COUNTRY,
THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THEM BACK.
NOW, IF MEXICO WON’T TAKE THEM
BACK, THE COUNTRIES THEY CAME
FROM DON’T TAKE THEM BACK, WE
GIVE THEM MONEY EACH YEAR, HEY,
YOU’VE GOT THEM, PULL THE SHORT
HAIRS AT THIS POINT AND SAY IF
YOU DON’T TAKE YOUR PEOPLE BACK
WE’RE NOT SENDING YOU THIS
MONEY.
WE DON’T OWE YOU THIS MONEY.
SO IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE TO
PLAY HARDBALL.
THE FEDS HAVE TO BE THE ONES TO
HAVE THE CONVERSATION.
AND, YOU KNOW, AT THAT POINT
ONCE THEY START DEALING WITH THE
PEOPLE ALREADY HERE, THEN WE
SHOULD BE IN A POSITION WHERE
THE DEMOCRATS, WHO HAVE THE
ISSUE, HAVE THE HOUSE AND
SENATE, AND THE OVAL SHOULD USE
THEIR POLITICAL CAPITAL TO MAKE
THIS A RESOLVED ISSUE.
