ready to have some fun. we have a great show i had to, including our resolutions and predictions for 2022. we are also going to see who is paying attention this year. not me. a very special trivia battle. don t miss our top videos from 2021. plus, we are answering some of your fan mail questions. but, first, let s do this. it is our big five stories of 2021. we are taking a look at the top headlines from this past year. my biggest story, and i know what yours might be and what yours might be. how what? jesse: i have someone in my ear. mine was the kyle rittenhouse trial. we had cameras in the courtroom for this trial. if there had not been cameras, this country would have perceived what happened that s carried a very, very different. it was all most a formal education in prosecutorial misconduct, constitutional law, and everything that the media tried to spin one way ended up being a complete disaster. we saw the trial in real time. we saw a jury deliberate methodicall
articulating for months and says that paid leave has to be in a different bill, not the reconciliation bill. why put it in? the democrats are acting like they are playing games with the out party. but this is their own party. why air this openly? to expose manchin as the problem. but who loses? the democrats do. because it s still democrat dysfunction, pushback over masks, mandates, bias, policing. these are all symptoms of this growing idea that government doesn t help, can t help, can t help but mess with people. this is the existential threat to democrats. perversely they re not in a good position. but they re not in a good position for a good reason. hear me out. perv perversely, one political party is about feeding fears government cannot do anything. so it s on the democrats to show it can. that s the harder part of the equation. as my father used to say, may he rest in peace, any jackass can kick down a barn. it takes a good man or woman to build one. now, here is th

inaction. sandra: the new york city mayor has been saying that for the last year. nearly 100,000 migrants have arrived here. so many that families are now sleeping on sidewalks and in makeshift tent cities that are popping up. that s all expected to cost a whopping $12 billion down the line. gillian: perhaps most surprising is the mayor s lack of communication with the commander in chief. have you talked to the president directly? we had a conversation last year, we communicated with the white house several times. we have a body, a contingent from homeland security here now. gillian: last year? chaos up north stems from the chaos unfolding down south. illegal border crossings are surging in the rio grande valley. bill melugin, what kind of activity is the border patrol seeing today? gillian, good afternoon to you. cbp source tells me as of this morning, more than 19,000 migrants in federal custody nationwide and that all four of their main border patrol sectors ar
