bibles, that s how long it is. and you know that come january or february somebody s going to reveal something and go, oh, my you know, this is huge, it s already passed, and none of us knew about it. griff: one guy did. one of our 535 members of dan bishop, lee zeldin told us about this in a previous hour to go to dan bishop s twitter, rep dan bishop, and he says our staff read all of it, and he found out a lot of different things. for instance, the word salmon, like fish, appears 48 times in the bill. some 31 million for salmon-related things. and one of the things that i already knew was in here that his office is pointing out is the $410 million for border security not here in the u.s., but, rather, me egypt, in jordan, in lebanon. middle eastern countries. their borders, not ours. carley: and $3 million for a
border, the cartels are setting the agenda on the southwest border in that real estate and this administration has no idea what to do. they claimed it was in a crisis. they claimed it wasn t a problem and now we are seeing the worst surge in the history of that border and they ve done absolutely nothing to change the policy, to try to get control, and they are at the whim of these ideologues that prefer chaos over control at our southwest border. i want to get your thoughts on the spending bill, this $1.7 billion spending bill and the fact that $410 million of it is supposed to go to border security for middle eastern countries and the g.o.p. and democrats are going back-and-forth over this. how does that make some be like you feel, you ve seen this firsthand for years and years and years knowing they are fighting over whether or not to send aid to foreign countries and we are completely ignoring
they should lose. and so i m standing firm. i m going to demand an up or down vote. if they don t give us the up or down vote, this is going to be very difficult for them and probably will cost them the omnibus. carley: what mike is doing is very interesting because there is not a single penny in this whole entire omnibus bill that goes to border security hold on for the united states. there is $410 million to reimburse jordan, lebanon, egypt, to tunisia and oman for their border security which is what you were talking about. the cbp funding the money should only go towards getting people into this country faster. used for processing. what mike lee is doing is saying listen, if you want to pass this bill and get home for the holidays then add title 42 on to it single up or down vote and that will get a lot of republican support. it didn t happen yesterday. now congress is going to open at 8:00 today, chuck schumer says that he s confident he will say that that the bill was pass some
$575 million for family planning, 410 million to reimburse middle eastern countries for their border security. $55 million to restore the salmon, and a million to the michelle obama walking trail in georgia. while that battle goes in washington, migrants are overwhelming el paso and some residents say they can t step out of their front door without seeing a sea of migrants. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are begging biden to get down there. kevin corke joining us live at the latest. good morning to you. to say things are at a breaking point in el el paso, texas, wih respect to illegal immigration is apparently a gross understatement. the problem in fact has become so acute that the city has resorted to opening up its convention center to house hundreds of migrants and perhaps even more as of last, arctic weather dips towards the borderlands. local residents say migrants are
illegally. and then they are also looking at green energy. they are not looking at the things to make our economy strong and make sure that our nation is safe. that s what we need to be looking at. i m voting no on this bill that they have out here it. didn t go through the regular not everybody s representative or state senator had the input that should be on this bill. 1.8 trillion after we have done an inflation reduction act, congress has. i voted no on that, also. also a inflation reduction act all it has done is fuel inflation and we need to make sure that there is accountability. i think the best way to do that would be a short-term cr to make sure that leader mccarthy can have the input that s necessary to make sure that the americans aren t spending money on things to have irs agencies pawing through their finances and trying to get into their personal items. ashley: don t forget that bill has $410 million in border security for other countries
