I live in virginia. Immigration was the number one issue, i mean, again, these could change, in virginia. Virginia does have a border with west virginia. The which we help solve and alleviate the crime issue in america and big cities as well is, we close the border. There is no crisis at the border. They are stealing cars, we never had that. We never had murders, now we have murders. How stupid are americans who still believe theres a crisis on the southern border. Sandra wow, all right. The liberal media for years now has been doubting americans concerns over the border and rising crime in democratled cities, despite poll after poll now showing that immigration and Public Safety are the top issues for american voters.

And just in the last hour, the contentious Battle For The White House came to a close. Donald trump is the partys presumptive nominee. It comes as former u. N. Ambassador nikki haley suspended her president ial bid just this morning after trump dominated on Super Tuesday. It is now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. And i hope he does that.

Make, that is about the First Amendment. Hes allowed to give a political speech, and allowed to say wrong things in the speech. If you are republican running against trump and saying this is bad, the argument has to be that it is First Amendment protected for you to say gosh i probably lost georgia unfairly by 12,000 votes. You cannot call the Secretary Of State and say find me 12,000 votes. Those are different types of speech, and itll be interesting to see if any of the republicans in the primary actually make that argument. Wolf, putting all the legal stuff aside, you and i have covered a lot of these campaigns. I cannot believe that Vivek Ramaswamy is not trying to seize upon donald trump being arraigned in Federal Court to take advantage for his campaign.

Republicans floundering on the Debt Ceiling Deal, as biden plays it cool. Why doesnt biden say what a good deal it is . Why would biden be saying what a good deal it is before think thats going to help me get it passed . No. Tonight, how calling the bluff of the Hostage Takers was the key to saving the country from economic catastrophe. Democrats are committed to making sure that we do our part and avoiding default. Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, will join me live tonight. Then, have all members voted . The radical Republican Attorney general of texas, impeached by his own party.
