immigrants, 9% say too tough, 60%, overwhelming majority, say not tough enough. so whatever this administration is doing, voters out there do not think it s effective. they lay this at the president s feet. they understand that there is, the border crisis right now in terms of people not being treated in an orderly, safe and humane process. but the problem is often with congress. i mean, we have not provided the administration with the resources for the immigration judges or processing. we have not provided the resources for border patrol. we have not provided resources for securing the border. and i don t believe this is either a democratic or a republican issue, it s a both party issue. i mean, president reagan is the last president who s gotten this done, and since then we ve had no bipartisan agreement. so the question i have for representative donald soften or others is do you want to just score political points, or do
whispering about the third party contender. manchin flirts with iowa voters, he took the time from his busy senate schedule to tell at gather gathering of iowa business leaders wednesday in d.c. that he s fiscally responsible and socially compassion sate nate. another interesting piece, richard, out of axios, they talked to a group of swing voters in georgia who said the they re confronted with this rematch in 2020 but somebody who is independent and has a financial backing, they d vote for that person or at least consider consider it. look, i think there s always this flirtation with the third party. here s the problem, many candidates lack the infrastructure to get on the ballot in many of these states which creates a problem for them. if you think about if there s a potential rematch between donald trump and joe biden, the recent abc poll that came up, the media s been fodder in the beltway, the truth of the matter is for many voters are saying, look, the election s 18 months
you actually want to compromise and get something done? shannon: it sounds like there are some nuggets there that you do agree on, so we wish you luck many doing that. there were a number of gop senators who went to the border. they re back here in d.c. talking about the issue of the fentanyl crisis. here s what they had to say. joe biden doesn t give a damn about americans. why would i say that? 70,000 americans die of fentanyl overdose. why joe biden doesn t care? the the he has a completely open border. president biden could use this health crisis of fentanyl poisoning to implement title 42. he could do that today. shannon: senator bill hagerty, who s got a proproposal legislatively to give the power to the president to trigger title 42 with fentanyl as a health crisis. would you support that? shannon, first of all, the exact problem with politics is what senator scott said.
congressman donalds said this week. whenever there was like this many companies just laying all over the place ask you see wire transfers, cashier checks over here going to random members of the family for no apparent if purpose at the size and velocity at which all of this was being conducted, the only logical conclusion of a financial professional is you are concealing money. shannon: do you have any curiosity, any questions about those transactions? well, steve doocy from fox himself asked, he said there s no evidence of thinking illegal, and there s no evidence of anything that ties this to president biden. i wish the house oversight committee would spend more time worrying about the ordinary income of americans going up than they are worried about the income of hunter biden shannon: so no questions. i guess well, i do have here s my point, there is a attorney that president trump appointed that is charged to look into all of this.
i mean, come on, president biden doesn t give a damn about americans? here s someone who has dedicated his entire life to public service. i would never say that about president trump. i would not say that he count care about americans, so doesn t care about americans. so why don t we deal with these issues instead of ad hominem attacks on the president. of course i m concerned about china shipping fentanyl, it s wrong. i ve heard the testimony in congress of mothers who have lost their children. let s solve that. i mean, instead of launching ad hominem attacks at the president. shannon: okay, let s do a little bit of a lightning round, a couple of other things. the debt ceiling, there is a call by the white house for a clean debt ceiling. there are enough senators, republicans, who say they won t vote for a clean ceiling. it s fully buster-proof there filibuster-proof there. if the debt ceiling is mechanically lifts without any debate over spending, then it
