with mexico. just two days until title 42 is set to expire. illegal crossings are already surging to record highs and just this past week there re been nearly 55,000 apprehensions, more than 18,000 known guideways which means a camera got them, somebody saw them. but we can t catch them. that means the population size equivalent to the at&t center in san antonio has been able to sneak into the united states with just seven days, those guideways are really critical. we really don t know who is on them. the border patrol union right now is furious over this. it is going into the dhs with quite a bit of anger pronouncing publicly when and where the border patrol would be conducting target enforcement operations. essentially telling illegal immigrants and smugglers where to run and hide from the border patrol agents. i just spoke with border patrol council brandon judd last hour. this is when activism takes over law enforcement and that should never happen. we should always be
the same way our leaders run our country. they yammer on endlessly g abour itmocracy, but then at the same time, they do their best to a avoid democracy s most basic requirements, like free speechel and representative government. e a few years ago, the prime minister of italy at the time, paolo gentiloni, bragged tow ye the world economic forum about his plans to, quote, bring more social justice to the country by what she meant, importing many more thousands of poorly educated economic migrants from the third world into italy. we are very open on migration, he said. we are saving lives at sea, a saving lives.oo congratulations. you re such a good person. but the question is , and it s a relevant question in a democracy, what are the people who live in italy that would be your constituents? think of that idea. well, as the prime ministert? explained, he didn t care, quot: quote, a demand for more democracy not only is wrong, it s even dangerous.llows you following this, you
i don t think he has. no, jake, i can t imagine any srks in his life that we re unaware of where he would have been. i think it was jarring. i think we should note he was there pretty briefly. his aides filled out the paperwork about his vitals, his weight, so forth, ahead of time and it expedited the prose is. i think even briefly, it s a jarring experience. as we said before, this is not something he is craving. i understand he is using the mug shot politically. it would be very surprising were he not when there wasn t a mug shot in manhattan when he was indictmented and arrested in april, they generated a fake one. it s not a surprise he s using it. but this is not an experience that he wants. this is an experience that i think brings home the stark reality of what this is, which is a criminal case. and to your point about where he was headed today and how grim the circumstances are and how grim the location was, they ve done very little. they ve had sort of descending
Trump will be responsible for people. i m sure that he doesn t even know or has heard of before this case. so these are particularly in, a rico case, where they are charged with forming in enterprise, i am sure that there are going to be t-shirts with all these pictures on them and the re-co-t-shirt will be a collectors item one day. it is not a pretty look and i notice none of those men were smiling, some people pose well for their mug shots. others not to sit well. certainly no laughing matter. trump says he wants to fund-raise off of this. some of the reporting earlier in the new york case is that he considered even creating merchandise. a fake one, they did, and they tried to fund-raise off of it. it is possibly what they might
The other, i would imagine that a judge is going to go through that continuum and not throw him in prison, in jail rather, immediately after he crosses the line. but you know, there is a line that has to be crossed here. and trump has shown himself, if he hasn t crossed the line, he certainly walked awfully close to it. it is such an interesting dilemma. you can t really, you are not going to put him in jail, you can find him, but contempt citation is a badge of honor for this guy. i mean, that is what he is masterfully done in all of this. there is an interesting piece today talking about the mugshot. if it ends up happening with trump, he will fund-raise off of it. he will use it to his advantage. he made a fake one his adversaries, those who oppose him, they also want to see it. he is very good at flipping the script, i don t know if it hurts him, he s a wealthy individual, he could pay the fine. i don t think that it is a
