00:00One of the decisions he made, President Biden wants Vice President Harris to be the standard
00:05bearer of the party now.
00:07Does she still want to get rid of ICE?
00:12You have seen what this administration has been able to do in the past three and a half
00:16years, and they did that with the Vice President as a partner in that.
00:23And Republicans got in the way, the President went around Republicans and was able to get
00:29thousands of personnels at the border, and now we are seeing a 50% drop at the border.
00:35And that's because of what this President has done.
00:37As a partner, though, she's been in charge of root causes of migration for years.
00:42She has never spoken to the Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens or the Border Patrol Chief
00:46before him, Raul Ortiz.
00:49What should that tell us about her leadership style?
00:52She was supposed to be doing root causes dealing with diplomacy, diplomacy, wait, diplomacy.
00:58That's what her job was supposed to be, diplomatic.
01:04That's the job.
01:06And I understand that you're asking these questions, but we should also look at congressional
01:12Republicans who got in the way, literally got in the way of everything that this President
01:18was trying to do to deal with the border.
01:20They got in the way.
01:21They would say one thing and then they would change their mind.
01:24They would say, we want Border Patrol, we want, you know, we want a deal on what's happening
01:30at the border, and then they would walk away from it.
01:33And they did it because of what the former President said.
01:37You guys reported that.
01:38I don't know.
01:39That's not coming from me.
01:40Some of your colleagues reported that the former President said, let's not move forward
01:43with this proposal because it's going to help Joe Biden.
01:47I mean, that's also the reality.
01:49You got to talk about both sides here.
