Dont look now, but the border crisis is back with a vengeance and a big concern among president ial candidates that make that a primary start. Why tim scott shows this time to do it. Scary numbers are probably the reason. Kevin corke has more. Kevin . Griff jenkins. I apologize. Look out, kevin corke. Neil my bad. Ive covered the border forever. Theres a reason why tim scott isnt just going to the border for a photo open. Hes going there because the situation is not under control. Sources tell me that Border Encounters are trending up, averaging between 5,000 and 5,500 a day across the entire southwest border. Cbp says they seized more than 22,000 pounds this fiscal year alone as mexican cartels tightener that grip on the border. Heres senator scott. As president of the united states, i would sign the legislation i created that would freeze the assets of the mexican car tens. We have the power to do that. Just a few hours area, ....
Counts drop and the statute of limitations had run. they did that so they couldn t prosecute him. neil: isn t that why you get a special counsel, again? i think the sophisticated legal definition is if it sounds icky, it probably is or at least should be pursued. so there s no harm in getting a special counsel to look into that, right? no. as a matter of fact, you would think since garland appointed a special counsel for trump, where there s no conflict of interest, that when the rules say there s a conflict of interest, you re supposed to appoint a special counsel and you have the biden justice department investigating biden? that s where you get a special counsel. you know, i was 20 years in the justice department. we were like the icky business. so to watch this justice department go no, i don t want to know anything is a little ....
To come in georgia. i lose track of these things. it s not prompted the president to lose track of support or lose support, period, among republicans, period. he s still running away with it. i suspect when numbers come out for the latest indictment, it will play out again and his lead could stretch again. how do the other candidates or what do you hear how they hope to respond to that maybe on a debate stage with or without donald trump? yeah, it s a good question. not to use a cliche , but we re in unchartered territory here. i think the other republican candidates are trying to figure this out as we go. we ve seen ron desantis talk about how he would, you know, readjust or reform the justice department so there s not this alleged bias between democrats and republicans. republicans are pointing to the fact that donald trump s legal woes are happening in tandem with hunter biden s woes. i thought it was interesting ....
What ron desantis said today earlier in new hampshire. he talked about wanting to reform the justice department, get rid of that bias and double standard that he says exists and he also acknowledged very strongly that donald trump did not win the 2020 election. here he is trying to appeal to the base by acknowledging that which many republican primary voters believe that there is a double standard here but at the same time pushing back against his 2020 claims about the ele election. that s how desantis is differentiating himself. neil: there s a number of polls out that show all republicans are aware of the indictments facing donald trump. maybe half of them will look elsewhere. it varies by the poll and the sentiment. who do you make of that, that a conviction on any of these ....
Investigation that was being conducted by the justice department, that s exactly the way they would be looking at it, neil, a bribery investigation. the fact is, there is a biden family investigation. there is just something that the justice department refers to as the biden investigation, which is just a black hole. what we re seeing in the transcript is that the business was joe biden. i m always amused to hear people say that there s no they re not seeing any evidence that biden did anything to advance the business. but he was the business. the business is access to joe biden and all that implies. he doesn t have to do anything a firm ty. the idea that if you have him in your corner as your go-to guy and you have access to him, that s going to the hope is going to intimidate people from taking action against you. ....
