you see the president they are walking away the vice president as well. not sure if they will address them but let's just watch for a second. >> mr president, mr president! >> mr president! thank you sir. >> how do you process at this moment getting the 3 americans off the parade -- plane? >> president joe biden: of feeling of satisfaction and relief of the famifeel so confident? our relationship with other heads of state that i had to get through. brian. tell us what you said. how did it compare? what did you say? the three americans, sir. audrey, what did you have to say to the three americans and their family members? sir welcome home. and beyond that,

you said, sir, that family is everything. earlier today. what has it meant to be with the family all day today, as they are now finally reunited with their loved ones? you can appreciate. look anyone who's lost family or worried about whether family would come home, whatever the circumstance was, has to understand that extreme. have you heard me say it befor? my dad used to say, families are the beginning. the middle, on the end, and it really is. it's not who we are. it's not who we are as a country. what is your message tonight to vladimir putin? stop. what's your message to the american? the american people are watching this broadcast tonight. and i think it's fair to say they're celebrating with the families. what's your message to the american people? there's nothing beyond our capacity when we act together. nothing. nothing? nothing. remember who the hell we are. we're the united states of america. the united states of america. and we put back together our relationships with

countries we haven't had before. we built nato. we rebuilt the circumstances that allowed this to happen. that's why it happens. and mr. president, should american journalists ever feel afraid about reporting abroad? i think look, no matter where you are, there's certain places that are going to be afraid. you know, on the idea you're never going to be afraid. you'd never show up anywhere in the middle east. you wouldn't show up anywhere in russia, you wouldn't show up anywhere. it matters. it matters to be aware of what you're going into and not to take undue chances because it's going to because i'm going to come get you. where does this rank among your many achievements as president? look this is. to me, this is about the essence of who we are as a country. it really is about personal relationship. it's about family. it's about being able to have access to your

own, the people you love and you endure. imagine how you'd all feel if you had your. you're being held captive unfairly and you had children waiting at home for you. imagine how you feel. how many of you have children? raise your hand. yeah, okay. imagine you being sitting in a prison, not knowing you'll ever get home and wondering what's going on with your children, how they go to bed at night crying, how they ache every night and every day it matters. mr. president, that very phone call that president putin. mr. president, hours before you announced that you were going to be leaving the 2024 race, can you talk to us a little bit about how important it was for you to get this deal done, knowing that you were not going to seek a second term? was it very important? i still get it done, even if i was seeking a second term. not me. i'm still you're stuck with me as president for a while, kid. there's no way out. okay? you got me for at

least another 100 or 90 days or so. so that didn't have anything to do with that. it had to do with the opportunity and trying to convince one last country to say, okay, they'll step up. mr. president, how president, how critical this will now be cemented as a part of your one term legacy. how are you thinking about the rest of your time in office? how are you? oh, we can talk about that. another african-americans president, chancellor schultz's commitment to getting this deal across the finish line. could it have been possible without that agreement that you made, mr. president, vice president for that of my president? madam? madam vice president, your reaction tonight? very good night. it's a very good night. and it's a testament to the work that we prioritize under joe biden's leadership and our administration, which is the importance of building alliances, building the strength that we have through diplomacy to have outcomes like

this. and there's so much at stake right now in our country and in this upcoming election, including who has which approach to understanding america's strength. this is an example of the strength of american leadership in bringing nations together to deliver americans back. and i wonder whether you have a message for somebody like mark vogel, madam vice president. that's right. evan evan. evan. come on. evan, would you talk to us for one minute? one second. welcome back. welcome home, welcome home. maybe he'll come and see.

evan, how's it feel? yeah. i traveled a little. i. to the far. harden. i got harris on my cell. i don't know. so there you have evan gerskovic. he's addressing some of his media colleagues over there. he's a couple of times he's walked over in that area. he has not walked over. you heard our own kevin corke saying, evan, evan, come over here. what are your thoughts on this? he did not make his way over there toward the microphones, but he did on a few occasions, make his way over to what we believe are some of his colleagues at

least, and some of the documentarians at the wall street journal who are doing a documentary on him. and then you saw the others walk off, but you heard twice from the president. you also heard twice from the vice president, which is which is not usual in these types of situations. but but apparently is now it's become it's become a new thing, a new political thing. it's fascinating as we look at this, because we know that there are going to be going into the waiting area for how long? we don't know. and then they will get back on board an airplane and they will travel down to san antonio, texas, to be medically checked out, your thoughts on what you just saw, steve hilton? well, first of all, let's reiterate what an incredible moment. i mean, i know exactly tearful you were to trace, i was watching you can't help but be moved. and so let's just reiterate that an absolutely magical moment from a human perspective that we all absolutely rejoice in. and i.

was saying earlier, and let's remind our audience of that as well. our colleague evan, at the wall street journal, our sister company, and our colleagues at the wall street journal fought so hard to make sure he was not forgotten that he would be on the agenda for any move like this. and it's a tribute to their work as well. i mean, what a moment there, i do want to say, however, if i may, let's put it this way, trace to follow the lead of joe biden and in particular, kamala harris to make some political points here, because there's no question that that's what they were doing. that's what they were doing. and you could read between the lines. you didn't have to read very strongly between the lines. well, all this talk about, well, it shows the importance of strong relationships and alliances. unlike trump, that was the message. and let's just remind our audience to be positive about this, that the trump administration, president trump himself, far from being someone, as they tried to imply, who didn't understand the importance of relationships and alliances right from the

beginning of his presidency, focused on relationships and alliances in the middle east, saudi arabia, all those countries. and that led to the first peace deal in the middle east. so this implication that they alone understand the importance of diplomacy and alliances and relationships is grossly unfair. and to make these points at a time like this, well, it's an election season. what do you expect? but i think it's important we see the other side of that argument. and as former secretary of state mike pompeo pointed out today, you know, donald trump also during his time in office, got 50 americans to come home. and so and you look at paul whelan and you think like he was he was one of those he was there for five years. erick stakelbeck because, you know, he was there when the brittney griner deal happened for viktor bout, you know, that that got brittney griner out. paul whelan was not set free. and that generated some criticism. and again, politics is not really a night for politics. but but politics are are seeped into to the

potion here. yeah. no doubt. and i think there's something to be said. and steve alludes to it of president trump negotiating from a position of strength. i mean, frankly, during his four years, russia, iran, china, north korea, they didn't know quite what to make of them. yeah and he kept them on edge. and i think even turkey, which is kind of a rogue member of nato right now, needless to say, trump pressured erdogan, the strongman there, to release pastor andrew brunson, a few years ago, and the us didn't give much in return there. trump basically said, hey, you're going to do this. so he exercised that leverage with erdogan. and by the way, one side note, trace, i wish president biden would stop saying stop and don't to america's enemies because every time he does it, they ignore him. tonight he says about putin, stop his one word. and they've ignored don't. now they're probably going to ignore stop as well. sadly and to you, brett sadler, because, you know, the president was asked about the german president, olaf scholz, saying he was he was he instrumental in this? and the answer was ye. and remember, he had to

overcome this whole concept of giving back someone that his courts and his state, his country have called a terrorist, said that you are releasing a terrorist. and yet he was on board with that? no, absolutely. well, i think it just goes to the point you made earlier in the program that the president had to bend over backwards and try to cajole and to entice germany, slovenia, norway, poland to all come together to pull this deal off, to meet putin's demands. but again, i a lot of what i've seen tonight, on the political side, this comes across as theater. when you have the presence of the vice president on the tarmac as well. and neither of them met griner when she came back when she was brought back from russia. so there is a lot of political theater here not to be missed. and it is very shallow. and again, going back to the track record of a stronger president and trump, you had people that didn't even think of taking

americans hostage without being willing to take a very much higher cost or risk. and i'm afraid that if this is continued, this we're going to see even more brazen captures of americans, not just in russia, but in other countries. yeah, and it is a fair assessment. karen skinner, because you watched it and every time you had the president walk over and address the media, which he did, you had kamala harris right on his right wing, also addressing the media, which is highly unusual. the president walks over and addresses, and the vice president rarely joins in step and also addresses. it's almost like something has changed. karen it has. and we're trying not to have a fully political discussion tonight. but when you look at both of them, they were in election mode and fully on politics in terms of what they were saying and how they were presenting themselves. but we may be having this discussion on your program. a number of times before the end of the year. i just wonder if

putin and others who are holding americans hostage are going to start emptying their prisons out with an impending donald trump victory, knowing that he won't just be using sanctions and trying to negotiate, big things will happen to them. and i look forward to hearing him say something about that. they may just be getting ready. invite us all back when the next round, end up on the tarmac. yeah. sarah levinson, moriarty, your thoughts on what you saw, how heart rending and what did you take away from it? well, my first thought is, i hope that that next moment on the tarmac is soon, from your mouth to god's ears, that would be amazing, i really i think this was just beautiful to watch. i've known elizabeth whelan for years, and to see her, she's worked so hard to bring her brother home and to see her be momentous or to be victorious in that, is just incredible. i

think there's so many people behind the scenes, and this is a nonpartisan issue. there's so many people at the state department in congress, our international partners who have all been working so hard to make this happen. so, i'd like to keep it a nonpartisan issue, and i'd like to see the momentum keep going, and for us to resolve all of these cases over the next coming months, wouldn't it be incredible if president biden did do that before he left office? i think it's something we all could celebrate because americans would then be home. and then again, i think congress needs to act quickly to start these deterrence measures. and i think even, things like cyber operations could be effective. i think, different, different tools are there's so many tools in our toolbox and there's so many bright minds thinking about this, but we've been thinking about it for too long, and now is the time to start seeing action happen. yeah, it truly is. and elizabeth pipko to you, i was wondering if you

heard president biden and again, we're not to bring this political again, but the question was asked from the media saying, you know, what about israel? what about a cease fire? what about the hostages? and the president responded, what about the cease fire? and he says, i think israel should, should, should go forward, as you israel should make sure this happens. and then was asked, does the assassination of ishmael, the leader of hamas, ismail haniyeh, does that have an effect on this? and he said it doesn't. it didn't help is what his word or something to that effect? it didn't help or or something like that. elizabeth, what were your thoughts on that? yeah. look, i continue to be disappointed with biden and this administration's response to everything going on in israel. you and i have discussed that for nearly nine months now. what i will say is, i'd like to echo something that steve said. he said, how great of a job that the wall street journal did at keeping evan's name alive to make sure everyone remembered him as we waited for this moment tonight. right. so i'd like to challenge everyone right now after we're done celebrating this evening,

find the names of everyone still in gaza right now. think of them. keep them alive. pray for them, and remind this administration about them because they seem to have forgotten. yeah. elizabeth. thank you. we have to play some sound of the question was, should americans feel safe reporting in foreign countries? and here's what the president said. mr. president, should american journalists ever feel afraid about reporting abroad? i think look. no matter where you are, there are certain places that are going to be afraid on the idea. you're never going to be afraid. you'd never show up anywhere in in the middle east. you wouldn't show up anywhere in russia. we wouldn't show up anywhere. it matters. it matters to be aware of what you're going into and not to take undue chances. yeah, i mean, and steve hilton, many of us have spent our spent our lives traveling the globe and being in very compromising positions in war zones. it's what you do. it's not going to stop. and it reminds us of the bravery of the people who do

that, and so that we can be informed and regimes can be held accountable. and the world knows what they do. and it's a good moment to reflect on that. and to show our appreciation. and we see the price that's paid by the individuals themselves and of course, their families. and it is an important moment to reflect on the fact that we depend on the bravery of others. and often we think about, you know, we say, thank you for your service to our military. of course we do. and that's quite right. but actually, this kind of service is vital for our freedom and democracies as well. yeah. karen, you know, we call it the first amendment freedoms, but it's just freedom, right? and everyone wants to come here because with all of our problems, it's still a nation committed to freedom. it's hard. it's tenuous at times. but this moment makes me think about freedom and what it means. and, you know, russia doesn't have freedom. and for all of those young people and

professors at universities since october seventh who have talked about the united states as the enemy of the people and the enemy of the world, right. do you really want to go to vladimir putin's russia? do you think you could have your encampments and tents at universities there. right. this is a moment to make us think about what we stand for and who we are and how different we are. we don't take hostages. we're calling it a prisoner swap. but they had our people as hostage. right. and that's, that's so different than anything that we would do. yeah. and the exchange was for you know, some bad people. and so that's the thing is we had innocent people we wanted to get back. and so in in exchange, we handed back bad people. yeah. what a precedent. these were literally murderers. i mean, mass criminals. and you know, and we have done it many times before, eric. that's the whole thing. we have done this many times before. we have and i think trace the maxim peace through strength. it's running

through my head again as i watch this. look. you mentioned the iranian hostage crisis 81 on the eve of reagan taking office, the iranians released those hostages. will there be a new sheriff in town come january 2025? if president trump gets back in office? and what will be the posture of the rogue regimes in the world then? because right now we are not negotiating clearly from a position of strength. yeah, i want to get back live to kevin corke. now kevin, we heard you. we heard you trying to get evan gershkovich. come over and say hello. yeoman's work. i got to tell you out there, kevin, i'm wondering what you're seeing now. and are you hearing anything else about travel plans and when they will leave to head down to san antonio, texas? your timing is excellent, my friend. actually they've just started up this global 7500 behind me. so if you're hearing that jet noise, that's where that's coming from. i'm also watching. is that potus on the move there or is that vpotus? i think that's that potus, caroline said. that's so potus is on the move

here to my right, when you start hearing all the motorcycles circle around, you know how this goes, you knew it was one of the two on the move now before, i had a chance to chat with you. last time i was mentioning very quickly how they were going to go inside, and have just a little family time with the president. the vice president, and so on and so forth. they have been able to do that. but it's such a remarkable night. you want to talk about being witness to the rough draft, the first draft of history. that's what tonight has been, trace. it's fast and very quickly kevin, do you know, do we have any idea if the families will be allowed to travel from here down to san antonio with gershkovitch and paul whelan and also komazawa? generally? that is not allowed, because what they will usually do in a circumstance like this, they'll get them out there for observation and for any medical attention they may need. but as you can well imagine, having covered, news in this town for quite some time, you also know,

trace, that there is a debriefing process, so it is unlikely family members would travel. it would likely just be the three individuals. yeah so the plane is kind of revving up. now. you have the jet engines revving up and you have the plane. apparently that took them here. it appears to be the plane that will take them down to san antonio, texas. and i'm wondering, as we see on the bottom right hand side of the screen, maybe we do this there will be some kind of gathering when they get to texas as well with with more people there to support them. elizabeth pipko, do you i mean, it's kind of hard to really put this in words when you're on the other side. kevin corke was there. he can tell you how emotional this was. it's harder for us. but boy, i mean, this was absolutely just gut wrenching, heart rending to the nth. it really was. look, it was not hard for me. i was sitting here crying for the last hour, trying to wipe my tears before you came back to me. this was a

beautiful moment. i'm genuinely honored that i even got to sit here with you and be a part of it in a teeny tiny way. we are all so lucky to be part of this country. i hope to god that this unifies all of us moving forward. it's something this country so desperately needs. i know there's going to be a lot of political talk starting tomorrow. i'm sure a lot of it is very much justified. but tonight is a beautiful moment for all of us, not just for those who returned tonight and their families, though i'm thrilled for them as well. it's a beautiful moment for all of us. i hope everyone remembers how lucky we are to be americans tonight and always, because of what we witnessed just now. yeah, brant sadler can you add to that, sir? well, yes, i think it's important to kind of reflect on the context that we're in right now, this is a good this is a good news story. it's going to unfold tomorrow into political story. unfortunately, the nature of american politics. but also you've got iran on the cusp of launching mass attacks against israel. there could be a lot of cost in american lives if those attacks bleed over to americans

in, in the middle east. and of course, china rattling its sabers at the same time, it is a very dangerous world. we need stronger leadership. there needs to be more cost imposed on the people that wish americans harm. if you take them hostage, there needs to be a consequence to that. if you hurt americans, there needs to be a consequence. and we have not been clear on that, and we have not been consistent as a nation. and i hope we turn the page on that. yeah. and you talk about consequences. i just want to replay this sound bite because, president biden was asked about vladimir putin, and here's what he said. what is your message tonight to vladimir putin? stop kind of the same message. steve hilton, that he had for the iranians at et cetera et cetera. don't stop. and as eric was pointing out, it hasn't worked so far. and you need i mean, it's it really is. it's a very tenuous, very dangerous time in the world right now. we have no idea what's happening with israel and hezbollah. we don't know if hezbollah is going to

start firing more rockets. we don't know if iran might retaliate on israel this time unannounced, for the killing of ismail haniya. we just don't know what's happening here. it is a tinderbox. it is as volatile as today as it was in the in the months after iraq. it is a tinderbox. and the world is a tinderbox. we can't pretend that the world just that dangerous people suddenly emerged and an evil regimes and all the rest of it in 2020. of course, that's not true. at the beginning of the biden administration, the world's always been a tinderbox. but when you have strong leadership, you can keep a lid on it. and that's what happened when america projected strength. and so i completely agree that this, this sort of endless you know, saying, stop, don't do this with no teeth behind it with no stick. doesn't work is an understatement. it invites the kind of behavior that we're now

thankfully remedying. i mean, of course, this is great news, but it reminds me, actually a little bit of the ukraine story. trace right. where, of course, you know, we had conversations about and biden would say, it's incredible. i've rallied the world, i've rallied nato. we're not going to let this aggression stand and so on. yeah but it was the weakness that invited it in the first place. and it's and it's the same sort of story here. and it doesn't take away from the great and wonderful moments that we've witnessed tonight. and like elizabeth, i feel incredibly it's an incredibly special night to be with you all here. and we must acknowledge that. but it doesn't mean that we that we ignore the realities of the world that we're living in. yeah. i mean, you have to put everything on the table. the jd vance, the former president's new vp candidate, said today that this was done this whole thing was done because putin fears that trump will win in november. do you buy that argument? trump probably will

win in this i think contributes to it because peace through strength is being thrown around a lot in this election period. but what does it mean? successful deterrence? donald trump had successful deterrence. the world leaders know it. and i think that's what we're seeing. also tonight, the administration is the biden administration. they're seeming happy. they've talked about leadership, american leadership. but why are we in this situation to begin with? and it's hard to say it tonight, but the reality is that they helped put us here. and i don't think they understand deterrence or even believe in it, and that's where we are. could i just add to that? i'm sorry to interrupt, but, it's beyond that. i think there's an active ideology of appeasement. it's not that it's some sort of accident. it's incompetence. they know how to do this. they believe that

appeasement is the way you get results. they think that if you're nice to bad people, they'll be good. but actually we know from history the opposite is true, right? the nicer you are to bad people, the worse they are. the obama administration bent over backwards to placate iran, and it's been detrimental. it has not been beneficial one bit. it has been detrimental to this country. it's been detrimental to israel. and i mean, you study this, eric, you know, these these types of things and it's a fact. yeah. and the appeasement stretches now to the biden administration pressuring israel. trace. we're sitting here talking about this impending iranian strike against israel. that wouldn't happen if on april 13th, the last time iran struck israel directly, the biden administration didn't attempt to restrain israel from responding right at every turn. essentially, iran got away with it on april 13th, launching over 300 projectiles at israel because the biden administration restrained israel. now iran's going to try

to do it again. a man you know. well, steve, winston churchill, i'm sure, talked about it. i'm not that old. no, no, too young to work for boris yeltsin, by the way, which you mentioned earlier. okay but a gathering storm. churchill talked about a gathering storm. and we have a gathering storm right now against america, iran, china, russia, north korea, the charter members. and we right now don't have a leader who is capable of facing down that gathering storm again. that may change in january, we shall se. we talk about a gathering storm, brant sadler. but you have been kind of in the heart of a gathering storm. you know what it's like you've been within as they've been making decisions, you know, going on the outside. what are your thoughts on that, my thoughts really kind of hover in what i'm seeing in, in asia. more in where things could really get bad. and a national security realm, if that's really kind of what your question is. but the more closer concern, i guess more immediate is what's going to happen in the next 48 hours

in the middle east. more than anything else. and i don't see anything that's been done. any actions that are tangible, that are going to mitigate or deter iran from taking another step, an escalatory step. and along with its proxies and, i just it's unfortunate. it's like watching a slow moving train wreck on the outside, unable to really kind of put the brakes, pump the brakes, or turn the wheel a little bit to get kind of onto a different track, so to speak. so it's frustrating. but, i guess i'm an incurable optimist that the folks that are in the white house now can still change tack. the last few months they have for the better. and then with the new administration, have a better jumping off point. yeah. and elizabeth pipko, back to you. i think it's you know, it's one of those things where we talk about we talk about diplomacy. we talk about, you know, is it going to be a tinderbox in the middle east for the foreseeable future? and we just had a family on the other night.

elizabeth. they have no idea. nine months later, if their son is alive or dead being held by hamas. and that's i mean, that's a tragedy. it is more than a tragedy. trace i can't imagine what they're feeling. i cannot imagine going through that. i also can't imagine being this administration and not fighting harder for americans to get out, or appeasing iran in the ways that they have, which i think led to the situation we have now. people have mentioned it before. it's going to be a very difficult 48 or 72 hours in the middle east. we will see what happens. i'd like to go back to what you said a few minutes ago. you asked if putin may have done this because he fears donald trump coming back in a few months. i hope everyone realizes that all of our enemies around the world fear donald trump coming back into office. and i hope americans realize what that means for what he stands for, for this country. yeah, it's a fascinating aspect. elizabeth pipko, brant sadler, steve hilton, erick stakelbeck, kiron skinner, thank you so much. it was a great panel. it was a it was a great. and oh, and sarah

levinson, moriarty, last word to you. i'm so sorry. it's okay. thank you. i again, this is a great day. i think we need to take this momentum and channel what we're seeing, with our own eyes. what can be accomplished if we have the will to make these kinds of things happen more and more, i do have the names of those held in gaza. keith siegel, omer nutra, hersh goldberg-polin, sagi dekel, chen eden alexander. so i think it's important we name these people and remember them publicly. so thank you for having me on. and thanks to our great nation, we talked to omar neutra's family this week. they are very concerned as they should be. thank you for joining our live coverage of the homecoming. paul whelan, evan. trace gallagher ♪ ♪

>> dana: kamala harris trying to rewrite her record on the border, but republicans are saying hey, not so fast. j.d. vance is an arizona wasting no time calling out harris' broken border promises. watch here. >> kamala harris came in to office making promises and she kept those promises to open the american southern border. they stopped deportations on day one, stopped construction of the border wall. this is not rocket science. it is not hard to secure the southern border. leaders have to reimplement some common sense policies. it will stop, but only if you elect donald j. trump president. >> dana: helping president trump's campaign by demanding toughness on fentanyl. fentanyl shipments demanding bigger penalties for drug smugglers, and they have a big bus today, got 4 million pills that they found. the poison keeps coming into our country. judge jeanine, how do you think this is going for the trump team, try to focus on the

border? we know it is the number two most important issue to voters. >> judge jeanine: it's the number two most important issue, but i think what we are seeing from kamala harris is that she's trying to make herself someone who has worked on the border, and it's made a difference, and that her role and her experience is better than donald trump's. the world is really upside down when kamala harris tries to be the top dog on the border when we know that when they came in, her administration, they stopped the wall construction, halted all deportations, protected sanctuary cities, and it remained in mexico. there was this gigantic invasion of illegals who come in and commit crimes and all kinds of outrageous actions, and they say and do nothing about it. now she is basically saying, look, i'm the person. out take credit for it. i won't admit i was border czar but i will take credit and made $4 billion to mexico directly,

public-private partnership for $5.2 billion with mexico, but at the same time, at least i'm trying to identify and solve the problem, where donald trump is simply trying to stop a bill that would create a shutting down the border or closing it down. she's basically bragging about her work as attorney general and saying "i know what it's like because i was in the tunnel once," and i'm doing a better job and fighting to fix a broken border system, whereas donald trump is not trying to increase border patrol. but we know that donald trump was against the bill because he didn't want 7500 people coming in every day, which was their deal. >> dana: harold, what about all of the blue state governors and blue state mayors, like our own here in new york city, who couldn't get a call back or couldn't get the administration to do anything on the border. and you had members of congress, like cuellar and tony gonzalez

saying they couldn't get a call back from the vice president. >> harold: so you just laid out what i would think, and i'm not for president trump as a candidate for office, but that would be the first ad you would run demonstrating that there has been a level of in action. i think watching senator vance, who looked like a country music star at the border there, americans are wanting less photo ops and more action. whatever substantive item, i believe he has genuine what he is saying, but the american people understand what has happened over the last many years on this. if you are going to say you have a better plan, he didn't offer a plan, he just said donald j. trump. he may believe that, but you've got to lay out, what would you do differently than what the bipartisan bill that was negotiated by republicans and democrats -- i understand you don't like it, but in politics,

judge, you run for office, you know this, you've won, my opponent has a bad idea and here is why my ideas better. all i hear, all i have heard from senator vance and even from former president trump is trust me. and in politics, you've got to lay out what you are going to do. and here is where she is going to have a little bit of an advantage. she is going to ask j.d. vance and president rouhani, why do you kill that bill? they didn't have to say here's what we're going to do. i don't believe that works. >> dana: so even before all of this changeover, jesse, the polls showed people trusted president trump, including democrats and independents, by double digits that they trusted trump over the democrats on border policy. >> jesse: you know how much we love harold, right? did you understand what he said? >> harold: talk about the future. >> jesse: that is such a loser

for you. the border. i have no idea what you just said. trump has to explain what his plan is? he already showed the plan. he secured the border and we are going to deport millions of them. they have been lying about these border numbers coming down. you know why they get these numbers down, harold? because they have this stupid app, we call it opentable for illegals where you make a reservation to break into the country. that is 50,000 people coming in per month. per month that they are not counting toward the total. the 30,000 they are flying in like a travel agent every month. that's 80,000, if you can do the math, that they don't count toward those monthly totals. so there. [laughter] texas secured the border appeared >> dana: yes, they did. >> jesse: know thanks to the biden-harris administration. we want to know a secret? earlier in the year when biden knew he was going to lose because of the border mess he sent mayorkas an blinken to mexico to negotiate with the cartels, and i say cartels, the next can government because it is the same thing, and they

said, guys, we are going to lose this election and get trump back in office so the mexicans have been helping a little bit, cracked down on their side because they don't want trump back in office because trump is not going therewith, you know, pallets of cash. >> harold: is that the secret? >> jesse: that's the secret. >> dana: 30 seconds. >> brian: she went from coming into days, i'm not the border czar, then she realized that wouldn't sell, then she said i'm great at the border. i thought that was really big. that was a great point. tell us what's wrong with senator lankford's bill. and what's wrong with it, too much discretion to the president, number one. number two, unaccompanied minors still get in and get to stay. and number three, the app. you can go to any country, come up with the money, we can fly you into westchester, fly you into small airports in pennsylvania, and you still are part of the illegal immigrant class. and lastly, they have not explained where 80,000 kids are.

we have lost 80,000 kids in our country and they have no expiration. they want to focus on the dividing of moms from their kids over that may be three weeks pandering the trump years, but the retort has to be, you lost 80,000 kids. are you even looking for them? >> harold: you did more there than j.d. vance data the border. >> brian: he was in front of the border wall -- >> dana: three weeks all the kids go back to school and the classrooms are filled because they have all of these kids. coming up, a huge gender controversy at the olympics after a female boxer gets beaten up. ♪ ♪ were you worried the wedding would be too much? nahhhh...

and the only way the ioc says they'll make an exception is they will exclude athletes who have a consistent unfair, disproportionate advantage, or if there is an unpreventable risk to the safety of others. if this isn't a risk to the safety of women, i don't know what is. >> brian: you've got to blame boxing because boxing didn't do what track and field they. the world championship, you can't fight, you are a man, and then the olympic committee, the paris-based olympic committee said no, you can do it because you are intersects. >> judge jeanine: nobody knows. >> brian: it does not sound enjoyable. i will add this, this is what she said and this is to your point. i started to feel -- this is the italian woman who just quit, started to feel a strong pain in my nose. hate to give up but a punch hurt so much, i said enough, i am leaving with my head held high. he, she is going to fight augus, going to end up with a gold medal. what an embarrassment to a sport that can least afford --
