he was hopped up. wouldn't stop talking. up to 4 4 4:00. i mangled that. james from rhode island hey, congress how did you miss this. hippos are much, much cheaper than a border wall. problem solved. that's all for tonight. my man sean hannity is up next. always remember i'm not a monkey but can i do this. i'm waters and this is my world. ♪ ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity." biden's border crisis continues to destroyed cities across america. we have an exclusive report on

the key is in denver, colorado, where 800 illegal families are reportedly in the process of being booted from chargers at the city nears its braking punt. our very own sara carter is live in denver with the full report. a lot of pictures that we cannot show this audience, sara. but it is a pretty bad situation out there. >> reporter: yeah, it is a terrible situation. the migrant crisis comes with the homelessness and it's obviously one of the biggest issues right now facing denver. tell you, i spoke today, sean with a venezuelan father who is one of those migrants. he was out with his two children. he was actually panhandling in downtown denver. he had a sign that he had somebody had written for him in english because he does not speaking english that says will work for food. will work for money. i saw that all across denver. and in response to what we were seeing today week reach out to

the heirs office. that is mayor mike johnson and this is what he had to say, he said denver has seen a dramatic uptake in rivals. he says the fourth significant surge since late 2022, it is straining capacity. what we recognize our family's needs much of the time as we can give them, we much once again limited the amount of time families can remain in the shelters. and that is one of the biggest concerns here, especially for the citizens in denver, the residents that live here. want you to take a listen to what some people had to say to us as we walked around downtown. are you concerned about this migrant issue? i mean, we're looking at over eight to 10 million and here in denver alone, tens of thousands of migrants basically no place to go. >> and it is just the beginning, right? most people have to find a place

to live and there's all kinds of services that are going to be needed and resources are not there. they are not doing anything about structurally fixing that border and so if you -- whoever comes in just comes in. >> they are shipping the migrants over here in the cities are not prepared to house these people. some of these people are dying. >> reporter: do you think denver has the capacity and over $180 million to handle this crisis right now? >> we don't have enough for that. i don't know where we're going to find the money. >> we come up with encampments. we have been trying to figure out where to put homeless people or people that just can't afford to live here. and now we have this whole 'nother a surge of more people where yeah, we're definitely running out of resources. expect take care of the american people. take care of the american pe people. let's focus on what the american

people need and not so much of what everybody else in the world needs. >> reporter: sean, we saw the crisis with phenol on monday. we are seeing this crisis spread with migrants here in denver. today we are seeing a cross -- across america democratic cities where migrants are basically living in the streets or trying to find housing. regarding the processing the surge of fentanyl that is killing our children and we are watching as the only benefactors of this are the drug cartels, the human traffickers and maybe somebody in the democratic party. but it is certainly not the american people. sean? >> sean: and sara, you were unable to and is a memorandum from the department of home and security secretary alejandro mayorkas and in this he basically in 2021 outlines exactly the policies of open borders and lawbreaking that we now have watched unfold.

i don't know whether it is quite a smoking gun, but it certainly is pretty damning as the terms of those are the policies they follow as joe biden ended stay in mexico, ended the border wall, construction, ended title xlii and everything else. >> reporter: well, let me tell you, sean, speaking to border patrol supervisors, a retired and border patrol supervisors and others who are currently employed by dhs, they believe that it is a smoking gun. it is basically a policy that has a lot of the biden administration to the facto open the border and allow everybody into the country. it has treated problems all across the nation and like we said, from portland to denver and particularly in democratic cities across this country, we are watching the people suffer. both of those migrants to come here without any knowledge that they are not going to have a job or place to go as well as the citizens inside the cities and the blame everyone who works on

the border both federal local and state say those right to the -- goes right to the biden's restaurant, go straight to president biden. that is where they see the buck stops and then i have to agree. >> sean: sara carter, thank you. by the way, as you have seen, we are witnessing joe biden returned from a day of fundraising in new york city. by the way conclude in congratulations to the president but he made up the stairs all by himself without tripping and falling. you got to give credit where credit is due. last night was the nevada primary. trump was not on the ballot but he is participating in the caucus tomorrow. that is the voting that accounts for rnc delegates not exactly sure what nikki haley's team was thinking. but they opted to participate in nevada's primary despite no delegates being in stake and she is not participating in the caucus. it was either one or the other. this is where things got a little bit weird. in nevada's primers, voters are

allowed to choose "none of these candidates" on the ballot. that option ended up beating nikki haley by over 30 points and nikki haley's home state of south carolina's unexpected person has got to be asked, after third place finish in iowa, and the caucuses, the double-digit loss in new hampshire last night's numbers, you know, the question is, if nikki haley does not win her home state, what is her path to the nomination? we will ask her in a sum to come interview. including to the realclearpolitics average, she is losing to former president donald trump by more than 30 points in her home state of south carolina and speaking of polls we have brand-new gallup surveys. they spelled more trouble for joe biden as democrats are struggling with heat and grab six that helped elect him in 2020. during the entirety of 2023, democrats have advantage along non-hispanic black voters. it is down to its lowest numbers since 1999.

the margin with hispanic voters is at its close level since 2011. it is not just minority voters and democrats who are struggling with. they are losing ground with young voters but according to the gallup poll to their advantage with 18 to 29 euros voters is now just eight points. that is lower -- lowest level since 2005 and while the democrats and biden are struggling in the polls, as a whole, perhaps known -- no one has suffered a bigger polling crisis than a giggly vice president. that is what, vice president harris who according to a new nbc survey now has a favorability rating of only 28% compared to 53% who have a negative view of her. and as them to continue sliding in these polls, the supreme court, they are poised to hear arguments over the last attempt to remove trump from the ballot in colorado tomorrow. now a tactic that former obama adviser david axelrod is -- he is not them. he called it very disruptive.

here is what he said earlier today. >> there are a myriad of legal questions. some will offer off ramps. i'm to imagine what it would be like if the spirit -- supreme court said we are removing the front running republican candidate from the ballot and essentially say to the american people, won't have the opportunity to vote for him and i think it would be very, very disruptive in this country. it will create a huge action and that worries me. >> sean: it should, i think. and make in terms of for the people that claim, o, democracy is in peril, how undemocratic. biden is refusing to sit down for a super bowl interview. visit the second year in a row he has refused to do that after yesterday, maybe it is kind of easy to see why. let's refresh their memories.

>> president biden: there is some movement and i don't want to -- i maybe should choose migrants. there's some movement. there's been a response from a -- there's been a response from the opposition. but yes, i'm sorry. from hamas. >> sean: oh, to sweat, the terror group is called hamas. —-dwhat about when i pointed out the cognitive decline. he is defending joe's cognitive state. that was not joe biden's a lea flobeck of the week but he made a major his slip up in vegas on sunday. let's refresh your memory on that one. >> president biden: after i was elected i would to a g-7 meeting with all of the nato leaders. i was in south england.

and i sat down and i said america. >> and [indistinct] iran from france looked at me and said, yw long are you back for? >> ask a question. have you ever gone to walmart, target, and a lot of times they have great respect they tend to be older people, retired that for whatever reason they are bored and want a little extra cash. they greet you. welcome to walmart. and that you say, how are you? can i help you with anything? in the nicest, most helpful people you will ever meet in your life and pleasant and smart. i don't think job could be a walmart greeter. -- joe could be a walmart greeter. i don't think he could remember where all of the different departments are. i don't think he could do that job. the president, joe biden,

president mitterrand died in 1996. unless you are trying traveling or you're speaking to a ghost, you did not speak to president mitterrand. no wonder joe is not the super bowl interview for the second year in a row. he is totally incapable of handling any unscripted interview. in the post tonight instead of dealing with the butter prices, biden is participating in fundraisers -- border crisis, biden is participating in fundraisers. here is mike huckabee and ari fleischer. governor huckabee i think everything that we could possibly say about that joe biden has been said. but when you see this, and it is, look, whatever cognitive issues he has, it is degenerative. it never gets better. it only gets worse. it seems the getting worse part seems to have accelerated in recent months. when you agree with that?

>> it is -- it would be hard not to agree with that. i'm thinking, man, i sure picked the wrong you could not you could not to run for president. i should have gone ahead and done it now. you know, this is really -- >> sean: so you are seeing he would have btn donald trump? i know you like trump but you are telling -- >> no. supporting him and have been since he announced his reelection. he is the best hope we have to get this country back on track to secure the border. make it so people can afford their butter and bread which they can't do right now for the most part. unless they have joe biden' a salary which most americans took tdon't. democrats keep covering for it and i think the more that the american people see what you just showed they're going to look at this and those numbers with blacks, hispanics, and young people are only going to continue to crater for joe

biden. people look at this and they say, i don't care whether i like this guy, it can even say if i like his policies which i can imagine they would. but this man is not capable of leading the country. i think of watching a scene from "the sixth sense" and haley joel altman and he says, i see dead people. that is who he sees. he sees mitterrand instead of seeing mccrone practices bizarre staff. >> sean: i agree with every bit of it. i think maybe what is even more interesting is his vice president harris, ari fleischer, her approval rating is lower than his but how is that possible? >> that is really an accomplishment and if i'm donald trump i would remind everyone that it is highly likely that terel harris will be the president of the states and somehow joe biden is able to win the election. i want to go to this issue because it is so much worse than

him not remembering the name of hamas. if you would actually become the tip about 10 seconds earlier, but you who would have a witness who would have a witness is the entity is present struggling to recall the briefing he got about the status of negotiations between israel and hamas. he could not remember the details. you saw the wheels turning in his head. the cobwebs trying to be swept out of the way. he could not remember it. he was stricken. the same thing happens to sean in to sean in the lead up to afghanistan. he said that nobody in the military told him he could have left a small number of troops in afghanistan and therefore maybe saved those lies in the cd -- and the 13th marine. >> said nobody told him that was an option and he was contradicted by his own military sing he was briefed about that. is what happens when the president cannot recall his briefings. it is deadly serious. it is not just heat he cannot remember the name of hamas. he does not remember the things he is told in earlier hours earlier in the oval office in.

that puts all americans in danger. that is the problem with the president at that age. >> sean: all right, so i will throw it to you, first with 271 days away from election day, does he survive until that point. you buy into any of these, i would argue that they are just educated guesses of people that the democrats may be at the convention will look to somebody else to take his place. hear -- do you believe that were does he survive? >> if huckabee throws his head in the ring, nobody extends a chance but that is just obvious. >> sean: there's rumors there might be a huckabee in the ticket, re. it might meet -- it might not be the one of the show. there's rumors about that. >> sean: i did not say it would be the good huckabee or the very good huckabee. here is the thing about biden and the democratic convention. if he continues to lose in the polls to donald trump, the democrats especially the superdelegates going to that august convention are going to

be in panic. they don't love joe biden but what they do do is hate donald trump. so if there's a likelihood that joe biden would lose to donald trump, there will be a panic and they are going to have to look for somebody else but i thought about a one in three odds that that will happen. but i also want to say i think in october those groups that you showed that are losing faith, losing support for joe biden but no, they're going to come home. republicans should not fool themselves into thinking that they're going to do fantastically better with blacks, hispanics, or younger people. they are sending signals were not that they are very distressed with biden. and i think donald trump is going to do better with blacks, hispanics, and young people. not that well. those groups are largely going to come home in october. it will be a close election. >> sean: historically, that is exactly what has happened. i think republicans have gotten their hopes up. i'm hoping one day that that certain, you know, identity groups if you want to call them that they get the message that maybe this party that. comes every two and four years,

and makes promises is not doing a good job for them. how does this play out for governor huckabee? >> i think there's a better chance that we will keep some of those voters among blacks, hispanics, and young people. i agree with all ready. it is not going to is not going to be that magnificent numbers but some of them will just stay home. they might vote for trump but they won't vote for joe. will tell you what i'm watching. watching mothers of four children in boston -- in boston who are angry because her kids can't go through the community center and play basketball because it is filled up with illegal immigrants. they are getting cards from there she is getting shown the door and you keep doing that through november and a lot of those folks out of sheer anger and frustration, they will vote for donald trump and say, it can't be worse. >> sean: the fascinating thing is is that i'm trying to put this under republicans and everybody knows that this was policy from day one of joe biden. that little game is -- has not been successful even with the

help of pretty much the entire media mob running interference and being an extension of the biden campaign press office. and me, i appreciate you both. ari fleischer, thank you. governor ricketts thank you, beer, the doj, they are running for cover for biden. merrick garland just in us to special counsel probe into joe biden's classified documents scandal is complete. what is in the report and why is the biden family scared to death about this report? we will tell you next. ♪ ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ ♪

>> sean: we have big news out of washington where the attorney general, merrick garland says the special counsel investigating joe biden's alleged mishandling of classified information, where they have completed their work and the white house is not reviewing the report to see if

it wants to exert executive privilege over any part of that. and once that project is that the report will be released to congress and to we the people the public. we are hearing that could happen by the end of the week. now, apparently there is something that team biden is very afraid of. axios reporting that biden's aides believe the report will include embarrassing details and photos and be "politically damaging." with the evidence there's the evidence be more damning than when we have already seen? you might remember this further. there you go. anyway, showing those documents, top-secret documents in joy's garage -- joey's garage. bright and is like those are likely to face any criminal charges. photos in the report, or that they look like a lot like the photos we were shown over and over again from the mar-a-lago raid? and i guess the only real damage done is going to be exposure of

joe biden's weaponize justice department. that would not be good. here with direction fox news live and last gregg jarrett. i think if if they are so afraid of the photos, i think, will be the main reason is the fact that it will expose the two-tiered justice system of well-designed and politicized doj of joe biden. they protected him, the photos look like mar-a-lago. what is that going to show people? >> reporter: i would say credit is deserving of the whistleblowers. man, they're the ones who told us that the doj has been running a protection racket for joe biden for years. remember, investigators were banned from asking about joe's involvement in his son's influence peddling schemes despite evidence of complicity. so sean, did anyone really. >> that joe's document scandal would be treated any differently, i think the fix was in from the beginning from gets

a charge. bidan does not even though and this is important, joe has no defense under the federal records act. trump -- because some of the records came from biden's time as a senator not present and a former president can have custody and control over such documents is not a senator. indeed, that was the opinion of the department of justice for two long decades. they argued in the famous bill clinton case that a former president can keep whatever he wants including classified documents. a federal judge agreed. certainly trump comes along and the doj throws the policy of the window. they invited trump on top on top, they charge him with obstruction for doing exactly what the clinton did. clinton resisted. the proper legal remedy here was from merrick garland to file a civil action not criminal of

which is under the act and it is the governing authority. that is how the clinton case was handled. let a judge to decide who gets what instead they criminalized it because it is donald trump. another example of how the doj has a two-tiered system of justice. >> sean: alex burns had a pretty good name. he called it law fair in a column that he wrote and that is recognizing and criminalizing political differences and just a different way of saying it but pretty astute analysis. gregg jarrett, thank you for that update. we appreciate it. as we await the release of this report, the house there continuing their existing impeachment inquiry of joe biden and encourages the transcript, one witness and your interview obtained by justthenews.com, that is john solomon's group that he said he had no idea at all what jim did for the company or why he was paid.

now, another former president associate testified that he loaned jim biden $800,000 but only got half the money back and the next week, another one of hunter's old business associates tony bobulinski, guess what, he is going to share his story with lawmakers about the big guy. here with the latest house oversight committee chairman gas -- james comer is with us. let me ask you about this case. you have release the transcript of this woman. her name is carol fox. the trustee and now bankrupt healthcare company. and she said she cannot determine what role james biden played or identify any paperwork backing up any loans made to him from a company struggling in 2018. she is the trustee of the bankruptcy estate and she is now sued joe's brother james and sued him in 2022 because he did not repay the 600,000 in loans and she can identify the

services that were allegedly provided and she found no documentary evidence for consulting and marketing at all. what is going on here? that sounds like being paid for doing nothing. >> applicable, we have been calling it influence peddling. and this is a perfect example. jill biden found out about the company that was a distressed healthcare company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. he approached them and said that because he is joe biden's brother that he can go to the release and use all of joe biden's contacts and get america health all the money they needed. but they needed to pay him the first break in the way he wanted to be paid was through a loan. now the company went bankrupt. jim biden like he normally does never delivered on anything. other than a committed security fraud with the americorps health. and the now bankrupt company with the trustee that most testified they looked over

everything and saw the 600,000 those that want to jim biden but they can't find any documents or one single thing that he did to get the money and show the most -- sean, the most important thing is they paid jim biden and, those in increments. last increment was $200,000 payment. the exact same day jim biden received the $200,000 payment, he had about $4,000 in his account. that made it 204,000 that same day. he wrote a check to joe biden. $200,000 and that proved joe biden benefited financially from his family's shady influence peddling scheme. >> sean: that is what is going to make tony bobulinski's deposition were critical. have you had any evidence of recent interviews that want your committee to subpoena joe's financial accounts and records? his pseudonym e-mail accounts, have you gotten all of that

information, and what about any phones that he used that may have been used? -- his? what do we know about joe's for their involvement and when you get to get the information you have been seeking for a long time about joe biden and the big guy himself? >> we have been putting this together. we have been taking it step-by-step. we make sure every i is doctors and t's crossed. and when he had plans for coming in. that is why he has decided he will come in for a sitdown deposition with respect to the phone records, we request a specific phone records. we have requested as you know, the pseudonym e-mails and the white house continues to obstruct. sean, it looks like we're going to be headed to court very soon for a lot of things pertaining to joe biden. it is like the biden legal team is re-created on things with hundred that we have requested.

have retreated on things with jim biden and other important family members and some of their associates but when it comes to joe biden, the court is up. them -- they are armed. are going to do everything they can to continue this objection because they are apparently hiding something. >> sean: i would like to know when we are going to get that information. let's talk about upcoming interviews you have with james biden, joe's brother brother and with hunter biden. okay. what do you expect out of those interviews and what are you looking for? >> we have a lot of questions as you know, we have the bank records for both hunter biden and joe biden and we have a lot of questions. there are a lot of loans in there. we have already discussed them with kevin warsh of the weeks ago when we interviewed him about all the loans he gave to hunter biden. over $6 million in loans to hunter biden. you mentioned two loans to jim biden and when you were

introducing me, that is a million dollars to jim biden. we have not found any loan documentation. it appears that the bidens may have been wondering through the term loan. when you get a loan, you don't have to report that on your taxes. but a loan is something you're supposed to pay bay -- pay back. if you do not pay the loan back, that is income. that is income and it is either a gift of the -- >> sean: also -- >> -- from the person who received the money. >> sean: and if it is an extended period of time, do you pay back the loan? have to charge interest? otherwise it is considered a gift? >> sean: you do. and that is just don't expect you to. and that is just another tool in the toolbox. they have not produced any loan documentation. who would loan pe loan people willing to develop those millions of dollars and not have a document? this is fasig influence ped

peddling. this is a way they try to deceive the irs and subvert the disclosure law that it requires for immediate family members of high-ranking politicians. we're going to continue to bring these people and tony barber linsky, all coming in. and will be a big three weeks with the investigation. >> sean: i would like to know what the grandkids -- with the grandkids did. i appreciate you being with us. when we come back. bidenomics, they keep telling you how great it is. we have a shocking report about just how much damage joe has done to your economy and how americans large percentage of them are suffering because of these failed policies, straight ahead. ♪ ♪

>> sean: joe biden has been a disaster for the u.s. economy in spite of the "bidenomics" speak we keep hearing over and over again. his reckless spending created historic inflation. that reduced the value of your dolly parton nearly 20% and the fed raised interest rates sky high. look at what it has done to our country and our citizens print. >> your annual budget deficit will increase by a trillion dollars. our nation's debt is on track which 116% of gdp by 2034. that is 10 years from now. total credit card debt in this country is now theirs has now hit a record point once again, a whopping $1.3 trillion. staggering number. over the past year, the u.s. economy, it has actually lost in spite of all these people including conservatives that have warned don't go by the

bureau of labor statistics until we dig deep into what the numbers are but no, the economy has lost 97,000 full-time jobs while gaining 870,000 part-time jobs. and most recent job reports have been retroactively revised downward. that seems to happen almost every month. a record number of americans are struggling to pay ran. the rest of the country can't afford to buy a house because mortgage rates have those are too high. ladies of "the view" have a solution for everyone out there. 62% of americans living paycheck to paycheck. here is what that hard-hitting news show, abc's "the view" here is what they are telling you to do. take a look. >> listen, i'm sorry. when i started, i cannot buy a home either. or you had to work their way. >> sorry. >> that is not the first thing that happens when you come out.

got to go out and get a job. this is how you break it down. i know you are young. but here's what it is. you work. and you can't afford a house and you go and get one. you live in new york city. can't nobody afford to live here. >> sean: oh, get to your ass to work. here are the cohost of the big money show on fox business. they are hosting a special education, and how absurd. that is happening tomorrow. jackie, we will start with you. i believe in hard work. my first job was delivering papers. i was washing dishes. sunday night, by hand, in a restaurant and i never stopped working for the next 20 years. and i got fortunate. i found something i love to do. here is the question, for all of those americans who are suffering, and it is under bidenomics, what were people celebrating this jobs report one

if you did just an inch deep, you see that those are not full-time jobs? these are part-time jobs that a lot of people are taking just to make ends meet. >> nate spent it, sean, that is what they do. i think it was the same episode, they want to say, you need to vote for joe biden because he has got an amazing economy for r him. we have gotten low unemployment and inflation is coming down. think about what real people are saying. real people are saying they are putting groceries on their credit card. that is where the $1 trillion in credit card debt is coming from. these basic household expenses. we are dealing with a situation where most people in the wall street journal today are saying, look at the disconnect between the data that they keep siding and the headlines that are out there and how people feel. people feel like the rug could be pulled out from under them at any moment right now and so going off of a couple of headlines that you see in usa

today does not tell the whole story. food prices in the last three years are up 20%. you know what happens when you raise minimum wage to 20 bucks? you get an 18-dollar brick. is how this works. at the end of the day people who are trying to put food on the table and get their kids to school just live a normal life in this country. they are struggling and they struggling and they are going to for the economy when they go to the polls, sean and they sean and they are going to put on immigration begin -- because they are not stupid. they know the two are tight head and hands. you put 10 million people into this country and give them free stuff and we are all going to have to pay for it for years to come. >> sean: brian, i think that she brings up a good point about big macs. my cravings are such. when i have a mcdonald's clearing, it is a quarter pounder with cheese meal. the reality is, it is true, it is $18 for working men and women, that is not a lunch that

they can afford. that is not fast food at an affordable price that we are used to. >> no. they can't afford the big red they can't afford the house. can't afford to the car. they can't afford their appliances because of restrictions. can't afford rent. this is the point. nothing is affordable. with the administration tells you inflation rates have come down, people say yeah but nothing is affordable. houses are $400,000. it is $82,600 mortgage. payments are almost seven, $800. so when you add all that up,

earlier in the program tonight, biden's border crisis is wreaking havoc on cities all across the country. today border patrol officials told fox news that they have encountered over 1 million illegal immigrants at the border since the start of this fiscal year 2024, which, by the way, is earliest this milestone has ever been hit. meanwhile, new york city's illegal immigration crisis continues to hit new lows, and after a group of illegal immigrants brutally attacked nypd officers and then proceeded to flee the state, the governor of that great state that welcomed people regardless of where they came from, "you are welcome, calm, we ought to see you, we will take care of you, we will house you," kathy hochul is finally using a little common sense. here's what she had to say on msdnc yesterday. a far cry from what she was saying. >> i want to find out if there's been a pattern here, and they should not be back on the streets terrorizing neighborhoods, or sweeping the

shelves and making these poor businesses have to shut down and leave the neighborhood without a pharmacy or a place to their diapers. it's just wrong and we are coming at it hard. >> sean: you're the one who welcome them. unfortunately, mayor eric adams has no plan to get the situation under control. he is too busy blaming his criticism against him on race. the fani willis defense. take a look. >> stand up, they need to see you. deputy mayor. have you ever seen this much chocolate leading the city of new york? and then go down the line. look who's here. this is representative of the city. that's why people are hating on me. >> sean: that's why people hate the mayor. hmm. whatever happened to a color-blind society, judge people by the character another

color of their skin, but the content of their character? i don't know. i guess we are now reduced to chocolate and vanilla? here now with reaction, hoover institution senior fellow victor davis hanson. the identity politics, the blame, the cry of racism, it's fairly predictable to me. however, i mean, he's complaining. hochul is complaining. and they are two elected officials who had their arms wide open for illegal immigrants. what happened? >> they all wear. jill biden, the mayor, the governor, they all felt that open borders give them new constituencies, and they called everyone racist or xenophobic who wanted a secure border. "you believe in the great replacement theory." they are writing books called "the new democratic majority," or "demography is destiny." on the one hand, they want all these people to come in but now immigration with crime and the

economy are the three chief issues and they are all against their interests. what do they do? they don't want to shut the border. they want the constituents but they will lose the election. if they keep things going. so they try to blame the republicans and say you did it because you didn't give us a competence of amnesty bill that would facilitate and make more orderly illegal immigration. and that's what they want. i can't believe some republicans walked right into it, and for a while were fooled, but all they have to do, they don't need new money, they don't need new laws. all they have to do is go back and look at the 4-year war that donald trump waged and finally won back against liberal courts and liberal congresspeople. he stopped to catch and release, started on the new fence, he job owned mexico and force them to behave and he made refugees apply in their home country. guess what? by the end of his tenure there was a paradigm that would give you almost no illegal immigration. as soon as joe biden came on, he

bragged about blowing it up. so did eric adams. remember you in august of 2022, he was greeting with water bottles the migrants and said that this is a sanctuary city. so they got what they wanted. they always thought they would never be subject to the ramifications of their own ideology, that it would fall on border state governors and mayors, and maybe change the demographics of these red states blue. that's what they thought, but the chickens, so to speak, came home to roost. >> sean: on the other hand, there complaining they don't have the money. now he new york they're going to get 500 people, $53 million in debit cards so they can buy food or whatever they want to buy, and another $180.000000 for hotels in new york city. really? how are we going to afford that? >> we can't. we are getting to the point now where the citizen is deemed less

important than the resident or the green card or the illegal alien, because not only are they giving them more money, but they fly without i.d. on planes, they don't need passports to come across the border. >> sean: it's unreal. >> the citizen is a secondary resident now. >> sean: well, i've got to leave it there, but victor davis hansen, thank you for being with us. when we come back, new effort by the dhs to combat human trafficking. bill melugin with the report straight ahead. when barbara switched to turbotax... i broke four generations of family tradition with five little words... ma, i wanna make perfume!
