resources as migrants overwhelm the border there. here s the state s lieutenant governor on fox. we were in good shape on the border bill before biden got elected. we were in good shape. the protocols were working, keeping the asylum seekers in mexico. this is not a crisis. this is a full blown disaster that they ve created. this is the worst high. we ve had higher peaks. this is the worst. what really makes it bad is that there s no end in sight. john: in a moment, we ll talk with the mayor of one texas town who was told to tell his residents to raise hell to get more help. sandra: first to william la jeunesse. he s at the border in southern california. william? reporter: agents tell me they are so busy processing children, unlike a quick covid turn back, which takes minutes. they are not on the line and incenterivizing struggling organizations since they don t have the man power. there s a cost associated to all the images you are seeing beyond the food and shelter
MAJORITY of Biden’s COVID relief bill dedicated to ‘PARTISAN PRIORITIES’
Is anybody surprised that the vast majority of the COVID relief bill pushed by Joe Biden and the Democrats does not actually pertain to COVID? In fact, 350 BILLION DOLLARS will go to bailing out state and local governments. But, why should Texans pay for the sins of poor leaders in Chicago, Illinois?! Glenn and Stu discuss how the bill including the $1400 stimulus checks will do little to cure the economic crisis our nation faces today.
It s almost as if they WANT you to feel the coming pain as deeply as possible. First, Biden nixed the Keystone XL Pipeline, driving the price at the pump through the roof. Now, (Mayor) Pete Buttigieg is heading up the Department of Transportation and floated the idea of taxing EVERY mile you drive. So much for buying an electric car to save money at the pump.
The internet is brutal. Martin Gurri calls it a great mutilator. Gurri was a global media analyst at the CIA in 2001, right as the internet erupted with what he describes as an Information Tsunami. That year, more information was produced than all information before it. The next year, double. Then double that, and it threw the leadership structure of the world into a state of crisis. Gurri wrote about it in his book, The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium, and he joins Glenn to discuss the main issue it created, which we re still feeling now: The old school elites aren t the only loud voice in the room anymore. Gurri explains how many of America s most divisive issues are all connected: cancel culture, corruption in media, nihilism, why people see white supremacists or Antifas everywhere lately. The internet created America s great divide. But can it also bring us back together?
