border you represent a border state let's talk border i want you to listen what colorado's governor jared polissay about harris and the border. >> i'm confident kalama harris is a somebody that will solve the border issue rather than keep it going for purely political reasons and dividing us, we need somebody to unite us and that includes securing our border, she had a plan to do that and it was blocked by donald trump and republicans and the democrats should have a huge advantage because republicans have failed time and time again to secure our border. stuart: what? i understand the humor, if elected president do you believe harris would do anything different than what she's done the last three and half years. >> i think she would do more, the fact is, the exhilaration of bringing in more illegals, coaching them to common and given them parole and putting them into our welfare system will only accelerate, i served with jared when he was in the house, he is a smart individual, he knows better but is talking the talking points and i recognize everyone of them as coming from the harris campaign.

will: that connection, i think this point needs to be freewaysed, that a year ago jared polis, the governoranked the biden-harris ad administration, appreciated them for opening the doors of america and to colorado for venezuelan migrant refugees. rachel: right. that's exactly right. and that's why, you know, this congressional candidate, he's an ex-employee of i.c.e. a well -- as well, and it was shocking when i interviewed him this morning. he said they absolutely, the governor, the mayor, the police department all knew this was happening and were trying to downplay it. and part of the reason why i think they were trying to downplay it is they really have egg on their face for acting like they were just doing this great chair i in welcoming all these venezuelans who had not been properly vetted. again, these men who were arrested, two of them, these tren de aragua gang members, they were apprehended in eagle pass, they were let go. if they were told -- given papers that you should come back, gang members, just make sure you come back for your court date. they weren't evented, they didn't,

dc for us this morning, kate, and joining us right now is the democratic governor of colorado, jared polisank you so much for being here with me this morning. 40 plus days to the election. some states have already started voting early trump, remains ten plus points ahead on the issue of immigration and border security why is vice president harris not making up more ground on this? do you think she goes to the border now or she goes after she is elected. >> i think it's really important to see firsthand what she's committed to. a couple of harris is somebody that when she sees a challenge, she forges a solution right now, it doesn't try to divide people with politics like the other side. i think what you have right now is a really unique situation. democrats actually want a secure the border and solve the issue. republicans want to keep this as a political issue for their own political gain. so there's a bigger incentive right now, and i think american voters are smarter this if they want the border issues solved that they want real security, they need to give the democrats a chance to get
