to try to take these hotspots down there and make it more difficult to enter illegally. 51,000 more that started in october. october, november, december, 51,000 of illegal border crossings. neil: to avoid a situation we are on, you have come up with legislation to prevent that in the future. what does it involve? i am a cosponsor of a proposal that is beginning in 2021, we can t do anything to affect are paying this time. go, we have to wait until after the next election for what we are proposing is if we don t get all the appropriations bill done by september 30th of this year there is no pay for any member of congress. furthermore there is no backpay.
and these two games coming up, you ve got two trigger men at the quarterback position in brees and brady, they ve been around a good while now. is mahomes and goff going to be cool cucumbers to start with? i don t know about that. i don t expect that, but the adrenalin and the urgency can get in the way, even though you need the urgency. neil: you know, joe, a lot of people are saying for the super bowl itself it could be affected by this government shutdown in terms of the security and personnel that could be committed to go to the game or whatever. i didn t understand that, but i know it was a different time and era when you were playing, but that kind of scares you, if you think about it, doesn t it? yes, it does. it does scare me. but it is necessary because of what s transpired over these recent years. certainly even going back to our 9/11, god bless all the folks
i m a big believer in keeping hope hey life and it s clear that the american people are ready for us to go back to work. so it would be nice if he came out acted presidential and ended the shutdown and it s time for a comprehensive look for immigration. we have 11 million people undocumented and we have to find a path to citizenship. if you look at the new york post, the wall is clearly not the answer. neil: and one of the ideas being bandied about, you get comprehensive immigration and the other side has been whether it s the democrat who voted for wall funding when barack obama was president or republicans open to some sort of daca reform and do both sides need to jump off the cliff together? yes, ideally both sides should jump off the cliff together. neil: how many americans would welcome that? yes.
it s more exciting to me. neil: you know, we were talking at the break the last time knowing that i was going to be talking to you, joe, and they were remembering just what an underdog you and the new york jets were in 1969. i think no one had you picked to even remotely even challenge the baltimore colts at the time. but you obviously had a different view, but you didn t look like you felt the pressure. is that key for all the teams right now, the final four right now, as they go in to decide this weekend who will be appearing in the super bowl. just keep your cool? . well, that s a major factor and i promise you, neil, looks are deceiving from time to time. there was some nervous energy running through the body, adrenalin going, and the first few snaps of our championship game, i was a little quicker than i d like to have been with decision making and the physical part of it. i think that the match-up now
sure, but when we talk about a higher corporate tax rate, that s higher than a higher personal tax rate on wealthy people. neil: right. the end of the day when you have we re talking about, this committee is also about the deregulation and really coming in on the deregulation and having more regulation coming in there. they don t like the fact that president trump went in there and tried to deregulate all of these antiquated tax codes. so, that was another point that ocasio-cortez was trying to make to go back to regulation. that doesn t make sense. when we have deregulation, the economy moves forward and it s something it if they actually knew what they were talking about, they wouldn t be saying these kind of things. let s get real. when there was a 90% tax bracket, highest marginal tax was 90%. she s always mentioning, oh, the eisenhower years a 90% tax rate and things looked pretty good. the top 1% was paying 30% of their income in taxes.
