Comforting kimberly they found this and working with another country. not comforting they are getting across the southern border. right. that s great to hear. but the issue by the way and guy makes a great point about the got-aways. it s not just the got-aways. look, the department of homeland security puts out statistics about the number of encounters they have at the southern border with people on our terrorist watch list. fiscal 2021 that was about 15. fiscal 2022 close to 100. there was new numbers in the spring of this year where we had already almost hit 100 just in this year fiscal year alone. so, this word is getting out to people. if you want to do harm to the united states, we have a porous border. there are increasing number of bad guys trying to get in that way. and this administration is not sending any signals that this is a priority and that they are going to do everything they can to keep those people from getting through and spreading out. bret: julia, it s not jus
They cite the trial date here in d.c. for the federal case starting the day before super tuesday i understand the republican primary start a trial before stupor tuesday. ticking off voters. goosing turnout. could help him in a republican primary. bret: to that point, just getting word from fox digital that former president trump has raised 9.4 million since being processed and taking that now infamous or famous mugshot in fulton county, georgia last week. that brings the total in august to $20 million, julia, that s the most we have seen former president trump raise in a short period of time. and arguably it s only to guy s point increasing his poll numbers. yeah it, shows it has a galvanizing effect on illustrates base and having this trial start before super tuesday, you know, looking at it at this point it seems like it
