border security. you talked about everything. 23 miles of canada issues up there but as governor and commander-in-chiefsnational guard deployed to the southern border. not putting stuff and look at me at the border i'm going down there as commander-in-chief talking to our troops that are down there helping to secure our country. it's super underreported. he's wrong on national security. he is a legendary businessman and negotiator he did so many great things created countless jobs in the private sector career. he understands the plight of working people. we've seen it in recent weeks. i was with him in new jersey when there was 107,000 people there. so i have someone from the liberal media say there could it possibly have been 107,000 people i said i think you're probably right 107,000 because when we were driving and i saw about 15,000 people on the way and that couldn't get in. they were lying on the side of the road for miles in new jersey we drove by we were in the motorcade had the fire trucks out in the firemen wearing uniform we drove by an exit where they were doing traffic control there was a

commander in chief but down because look at korinne jeanpierre? how many times did she say it's clear and that the president is running circles around us? or telling us that the border was secure they had operational control? it wasn't just joe biden that was lying to the american people, morgan. it was a whole host of people. they were taking the cue from the president, running with this, and telling us lies that were shown to be not true. >> and that hurts american credibility on the world stage. if you actually care about america leading the world, if you actually care about democracy as the democratic party, as biden has like to say that they care, then you can't actually say -- you can't actually put this man up and say, oh, sure, everything's fine. there is so many surprising things to me about the past four years. "the wall street journal" piece in the last few days was one of the least surprising things i have learned in the past four years. we all knew he wasn't capable of doing it because it was obvious. and i think the damage that he did on the world stage and not just him but his staff, that they did to american credibility by essentially trying to force this lie u
