00:00Thank you, Corrine. Democrats on Capitol Hill are being handed this card with talking points
00:06about the Vice President and the border. Do you know who's handing this out?
00:09I have no idea. You probably should ask her campaign.
00:12So the first one says Vice President Harris was never appointed border czar. There's never
00:17been such a position. It doesn't exist. Why are Democrats so sensitive about the Vice
00:24President and the border?
00:26Why are Republicans so sensitive about actually not owning up to them getting in the way of
00:31a border deal? Why? Why won't they own up to that? Why won't they own up to the last
00:36president told them not to move forward? It was a bipartisan deal on just right there
00:42available to them and they voted twice against it. Twice against it. Why are they so sensitive
00:47to moving forward and actually dealing on an issue that majority of Americans care about
00:51is dealing with what's going on at the border?
00:54Do you think that the border would be less of a talking point now if there was less migration
01:00to the border, say if somebody had addressed root causes of migration sooner?
01:04Wait, hold on a second. Did you not hear the beginning of my, it was, I know there were
01:07a lot of toppers, but one of the toppers, I talked about what we're seeing at the border.
01:13It's down by 55%. Not because of Republicans in Congress and what they did. It's because
01:18what this president and this vice president did. They saw, they, he moved forward and
01:22took actions to deal with what's going on at the border. Republicans continue, continue
01:28to block getting resources to the border patrol agents. They continue to block actually dealing
01:34with an immigration system. So yes, we are going to debunk the false, the false, you
01:40know, characterization of the vice president. She was not a borders. And it's not just us.
01:46Independent fact checkers have said the same thing, that that did not exist and that is
01:51not true.
