happening on the border no closer than griff jenkins in mexico right now and their side of the border, thanks are things are getting worse and rampant there. we re in mexico and witnessed multiple times this morning of smugglers moving the migrants across. i want to you see this, by the way, this is a rope that you can see that literally been tied together for the migrants in the dark hours to take into the water to go across and this over here is the u.s. side. that s where we have seen groups for the last 24 hours we ve been here crossing all day, every day. a smuggler tells me that the border is quote, open, and he also says that to cross this river about 500 to $1500 u.s. dollars, but then if you want to be picked up and taken to san antonio or houston, upwards of 9 to $10,000. let me show you a drone shot, some footage of the group that crossed right at this location several hours ago. our drone on the u.s. side eagle pass was able to get a shot of that. this is part

listening to pollsters that are same for a while, don t say single-payer. that s where this false medicare for all message came from. they realize that when you tell people, no deductibles, no copayments, no premiums, access all the time. it all sounds wonderful into you start talking about the details. $32.6 trillion price tag on bernie s plan. over 10 years. a massive amount. now he promises lots of benefits but it hinges on him radically reducing the amount that they pay healthcare providers. there is no guarantee people would want to keep practicing medicine in the us. paul: in vermont the people s republic of vermont tried this. they looked at it a few years back when president obama was in office and they gave up the idea. tell us about it. right. i mean they gave up on the idea before it even got off the ground because it will require a huge new payroll tax
