in fate. i believe god gives us a path to follow, hopefully we can find it and follow it. some people do. some people are athletes. some people are professors. some people make sure we re fed, they are farmers and truck drivers, you name it. me, for me, the path is this what is this? ladies and gentlemen i spent my weekends and my nights and early mornings doing this. getting the bags under my eyes, sleep a lot, i don t, things worry me, they concern me. my wife will tell you, that i have a pad next to my bed i take notes about certain things going on in country, i am a voracious reader of mostly history, finding out what is taking place. if i can t communicate that to you, if i don t have a platform like this or radio or books this is all interesting but what is the point. i try to convey it to you as many ways as i can, here. and airwaves. and specially through books. there is a book i completed, a project that has taken me about 16 months but writing has been about 12 morn
maria: good sunday morning, everyone. welcome to sunday morning futures, i m maria bartiromo. thanks so much for joining us this morning. today, politics meets policy. and explaining away bad policy on the campaign trail. two days ahead of the new hampshire primaries and 289 days ahead of the presidential election and suddenly joe biden gets religion claiming change is needed at the southern border because it is just is not secure is. [inaudible conversations] no, it s not. [inaudible] give me the money. maria: coming up, live from the southern border this morning, house foreign affairs committee chairman michael mccaul on why republicans caved on a continuing resolution with no new security at the border. then, the deadly impact from a woman who with lost her daughter to an illegal immigrant and must still battle with democrat congressman dan goldman. so you re saying that you re upset because the border patrol is not doing can, the making sandwiches, i think you said,
that voter goes to to do just that. some of them can be home, some can be schools. some can be hospital lobbies. anything and anywhere they can go to cast their vote. the problem with the weather in the cold is among the iowans that i talked to, they will brave it and get out there. when you asked them about to do the same for an older relative, make sure that they make to it the polls, you get a different story. they love them so much they don t want to put them in danger. that gets back to another issue. does that affect the turnout the degree one candidate s voters are affected more than the others? it s an interesting subject that i brought up this morning. people might not feel safe to get out in this cold. there s a lot of passion behind people supporting candidates. i care about the future of america. i have to caucus. a lot of people say i ll stay in bed. the people that are serious. those listening to the different candidates, are going to be there. it s sign
