two years in 19 and 20 there was a surge as well. this one might be worse. president biden: it could be. we re sending back people, first of all. the idea that joe biden said come because i heard the other day that they are coming because they know i m a nice guy and i want them here is the deal. they re not. do you have to say quite clearly don t come? i can say don t come. don t leave your town or city or community. dana: what i was going to say i also didn t think it was that strong. if you read it on paper you would be that s fine. there is a forcefulness with which you need to say something like that i believe. bill: i agree with you. dana: getting to a points where the situation is reaching a level crisis challenge, catastrophe that they can t ignore. bill: i want to hear his entire answer play out the way it did in front of stephanopoulos. i don t want to see video edits. let s hear what he has to say. cbs is reporting 13,000 unaccompanied minors in a
laps. every day when i come into this building, it s still amazing to me, a sense of wonder, how did this happen? how did i become governor? you shake your head. the piers morgan interview starts now. governor, thank you for inviting me to your lair here. yes. four pictures of bruce springsteen. he doesn t even like you. i like him. it s unrequited love. i got to hang with it. talking unrequited love, i know for a fact you have been watching my show because donald trump told me. given you watch my show, you ll note my favorite question is how many times have you been properly in love, which leads me to the fundamental issue about mitt romney, why so few members of his own party properly in love with mitt romney? i think there s two things at play here. the first is that he s a very reserved guy. and so in the time that we re in right now, a very tumultuous angry emotional time, at the moment, reserved is not necessarily what the primary electorate seems to want. i
