We are a young republic sir. Let me do my work and so im pride sorry. Streaming exclusively on max things became amineh animated in the House Chamber tonight is President Biden was calling on congress to act on immigration and the border a simple choice. We can fight about fixing the border, or we can fix it im ready to fixed the deep divisions that surround these issues on full display as are the divide even within the Republican Party. As you watched, President Biden say that one of the most conservative members of the senate that you see here, thats James Lankford of oklahoma, nodding his head, mouthing. Thats true. As President Biden was laying out the parameter qatars of that bipartisan border deal that sank in recent weeks. It didnt seem like Senator Lankford was chip set to be seen on camera hitting his own party. Hes spent months crafting that bill, that former President Donald Trump in part helped torpedo. Meantime, as you watch this congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene, who see here in the hat engaged in what would be one of several spirited exchanges you dont like that, phil . Dr. Server, it has got together and said it was a good bill ill be darned. Thats amazing. You say, whoa, look at the facts i know i know you know, how to read President Biden mentioned the support that that bill had from the Border Patrol union, including its leader who has been a vocal supporter of Donald Trumps, was with him at the border in recent days, the president of the national Border Patrol council braided judge, joins me now. Great to have you here. You heard what President Biden that about this deal. The perimeters of it reminding everyone in the room of it tonight, but everyone at home. What do you make of how he addressed immigration tonight . I was incredibly disappointed. Instead of announcing the Executive Actions hes going to take, he instead blamed other people for the problem. Look, if hes not going to get a bill which hes not going its not going to happen if hes not going to get that, then he has the responsibility to step in and give us Executive Actions that will help us secure the border. And he refused to do that. And that was incredibly disappointing. It was also incredibly disappointing that he mentioned our name without giving content text to what exactly it it was that we were supporting. Yes, we supported that the bill goes to the floor. Yes. We supported an amendment process. There was a lot of bad in that bill, but there was a lot of good. So what we walked away from after this stay of the union as we walked away with nothing, he had the opportunity to announce the American People. Hes polling very, very poorly on this. He had the opportunity to announce the American People that these are the Executive Actions he is going to take. Instead, he just blamed other people and then walked away and now were left with this same chaos that we currently think weve been dealing with. As you know, just because he didnt announce the Executive Actions tonight doesnt mean hes not ultimately going to take them. Weve heard reporting from the white house that they they are considering that since this tank. But in the position that you read when you look at this, do you really think Executive Action is the way to address this issue . Or is It Legislation . Long term, i would love to have legIt Legislation because that lives past administrations. But in this particular case, does he have to have legislation to secure the border . And the answer is theres no he could secure the border with Executive Action tomorrow if he wanted to. And thats what were not getting. He knows what he needs to do. I have personally met with Secretary Mayorkas on a number of occasions and we told him, if you get rid of remain in mexico, this is whats going to happen, but these are the actions that you can take to avoid that and they completely and totally just disregarded that and so thats again, this chaos that were currently experiencing. It could end immediately with Executive Action. One part of Executive Action though, and i covered the trump white house. He did a lot of Executive Orders on immigration. I think 94 of them were rejected by the courts. So thats the power when you try to, or the problem when you try to govern by the pen. But on the legislation itself, you liked this legislation, you didnt think it was perfect, but there were parts of it, including what he cited today, 1,500 more border at Border Security agents and officers, 100 more immigration judges. Obviously theres a backlog dealing with that issue. Changing the credible fear standards for Asylum Proportions that you liked and supported. So actually believe it or not, the 1,500 additional board Patrol Agents is not something that i support. Now, im a union. I dont want to pass the burden onto the taxpayer. I believe that if we had proper policy, we have the resources right now. We have the technology, we have the infrastructure, we have the agents that are necessary to secure the border what we dont have is we dont have policy. And so what i dont want to do is i dont want to shift the burden onto the taxpayer and cause them to pay a lot more money than what is necessary usually supported elements of the absolutely passed. Would you have been happy . I would have i wouldve been happy with certain elements of that. So credible fear thats, thats extremely important. President trump tried to do did that with harpun pacer. That was one of the things that got shot down by the courts. But the most important thing that the courts upheld the Supreme Court upheld President Trumps right to implement remain in mexico. And if, if President Biden would go back to that and what were really frustrates me about that. As he says that its inhumane but yet our State Department has certified that mexico is a safe country. Yes, theres portions of mexico that might be dangerous, but the State Department has not come out and said that mexico is in unsafe comes the real issue also is mexico doesnt want remain in mexico. So thats the problem with having the cooperation. I know republicans feel like us can kinda tell mexico that they have to do it on this thing. You were a guest of senator Kyrsten Sinema of arizona, who is announcing that shes not going to be running again, that shes going to be retiring. But what it comes to who actually has the fate of moving Immigration Legislation. Have you met with Speaker Mike Johnson in the house and do you think he is willing to move on immigration . Russian legislation that will address what youre so worried about. I havent not yet. Im sure that i will be meeting with several republicans speakers. Its a little bit different to meet with the speaker of the house. But i have met with many republicans and dan crenshaw was on earlier on in earlier program and he said, dont give up, hope there is potential hope coming i do believe that theres possibilities that it will happen, but i ive heard time and time again. I heard President Biden blame President Trump saying that President Trump tank this bill. The reason, and they say that its for politics. Ive had the opportunity to speak with him ive been with him. I know why he why he said dont go for this bill because he recognizes that from day one, he could implement remain in mexico, which will go a lot farther than what this bill would have gone. He also recognizes that if you pass a bill right now, theres not going to be an appetite. Its passed a bill in his in history, isnt a crisis, can it wait . We dont know that itll get reelected and weight. And thats why. So thats the reason that we supported the bill. Because in our position, somethings better than nothing. Yes. Yes. Status quo just isnt good enough at this particular time, but at the same time, if im looking long term if im looking long term, i agree with him. I agree that long term i would much rather have a better bill, hr2 is the perfect bill. Hr2 is not going to get passed because its not by partisan. But theres a possibility that later on down the road, hr two gets passed. But if this bill were to pass right now, the chances that that another border the bill would get past this is pretty slim. I ive gotten two bills passed into law and i can tell you that it took years for that to happen. And so i recognize what it is to get a bill passed in. Its very difficult. We havent seen federal Immigration Legislation in decades. Brandon judd, thanks for coming on to be with you this morning, i guess, because it is thank you very much for more reaction to President Bidens state of the Union Address tonight, i want to bring in the democratic governor of colorado, jared polis, governor. Thanks for joining us tonight. You just heard right there from the head of the Border Patrol unit immigration is in crisis in city in your state, denver. Did you hear a path forward from President Biden tonight and as you heard, brandon, judge say, he does President Biden have a responsibility to act unilaterally if Congress Wont well, certainly, i mean, im confident the president is going to do everything he can with his Executive Authority to secure the border. But at the end of the day President Trump couldnt do it. President button couldnt do it because there are problems with our current law, namely the fact that theres many frivolous asylum claims. They clog up the system. We need to change hes just standard on that. There was in the bipartisan bill would reduce frivolous claims, probably by more than half, but it would also speed up the legitimate claims which is making sure that people who are here who have a solid claiming asylum law are able to get their work permits and get to work to support themselves. So theres a lot we need to do. I think President Biden really called out but the opponents for standing in the way of securing the border ending is illegal immigration prices. And i think thats a good thing for him to continue to hit on. You just said that you were confident that there would be some Executive Action. I know one of the things thats been reported is that theyre considering making it more difficult to claim asylum if someone crosses the border between ports of entry illegally, do you support Something Like that well, im not sure how they can do that administratively. A lot of these depend on law. And i think what the president is working on is he wants to do something that he thinks will stand up in the courts, not just sort of waved his arms around and then Say Something that will be overruled. A couple of weeks later and make the problem worse. What id like most about the speech as it was forward looking at it was looking forward towards a better, more perfect america, as opposed to moving backwards today, really chaos at a National Nightmare that we went through in the last administration he did many, many junctures talk about his predecessor, who obviously is likely to be the person that hes facing in november what did you make of the president S Performance . We just talked about the substance. What did you make of it from a stylistic perspective . Thats also something a lot of people have been talking about tonight well stylistic thats the thats the president joe biden, we love. I mean, kind of joking around with the crowd saying a lot of things off script, getting into it. Very friendly i think thats really who he is and we all, as a Chief Executive of my state, we do these speeches. But what really people remember, how you humanize it and how you bring it down to the human level. And i think people got to see a little bit about joe biden as a human being today. When you hear republicans saying it was overly partisan, they said he was shouting whats your response to that wiring . There were some shouted interruptions. Theres always going to be people that are that are in polite. I think the president s tone was one of unity for the country and thats when we need right now, as republicans, democrats on affiliated, we really need to pull together and rise to the big challenges. So lets, lets secure the border. Lets reduce healthcare costs. Lets make sure that people can afford to live in this great country that we have. Lets improve public safety. These are not partisan issues, and i think the president is really calling on republicans to join him on being a real Problem Solver around these issues. So on the economy, which is another huge issue for so Many Americans, President Biden, he basically touted a really strong american economy. He says its bounced back, but is that the right message for what your people, your the people in your state are experiencing so Many Americans are still go to the Grocery Store and are looking at the bill and saying, this is way too much money well, the economy is strong, unemployment is record lows, including in our home state of colorado. Of course, people are concerned about prices and i think the president really tackled that headon, talking about some of the steps there taking to help relieve some of that pressure from people they rolled out some policies even in the last week or two. So while again, i think we can appreciate a strong stock market, low unemployment. The concerns around inflation, which has come down under President Biden costs, which will i think continued to come down into President Biden a stark contrast to her as his predecessor hu but costly tariffs in place that jacked up prices even more and hes the former president s doubled down on that. So i really worry about what will happen to the American Consumer if President Biden doesnt Win Reelection youve also faced some protests over the israel hamas war. You heard President Biden tonight call for an immediate ceasefire at least six weeks is that enough to address the concerns of the voters who have been expressing themselves in this primary process. Many of them voting uncommitted in michigan including in colorado to send a message to President Biden. Did President Biden do enough to address that well, i heard him strongly condemn the terrorist Organization Hamas of course, if the hostages were released, thered be a ceasefire and any ceasefire that President Biden and Vice President harris have called for. Calls for for hamas to release the hostages. I mean, hamas obviously attacked brutally killed over thousand people. Theres still about 130 people being held hostage, probably underground, terrible conditions. And i was glad to hear the president reiterate his commitment to make sure that theyre freed and reunited with their families. All right. Governor jared polis, thanks so much for well, its not so late where you are, but staying up late for us here on the east coast. Thank you so much always a.

He saw something someone in his towns hiding something you have to to get to the truth all that fanfare when the president walks into the House Chamber is part of a long tradition. Ive stated the Union Addresses and theres another tradition going strong for the last 20 years, one that you may not have noticed and that is congresswoman sheila jackson, lee its basically become an unspoken rule that the Texas Democrats snags this coveted aisle seat every year for her exclusive interaction is the president walks down the aisle. This year was no different. She got this selfie with President Biden and tweeted it for all of us to see. Writing, hey there potus and congresswoman joins us now, its great to have you and i want to talk about your speech in your seat, but i also want to talk about youre wearing all white tonight. And if you watched in the audience tonight, you notice that there was an unmistakable group that was wearing it for Reproductive Rights, something that President Biden addressed pretty early on talking about ivf and whats happened in alabama. What did you make of his message tonight on that . The issue enormously strong there are many connections to Reproductive Rights, to texas, and im a Texas Girl The Case roe v. Wade came out of texas the horrific antiabortion law came out of texas and so for the president to speak to not only my constituents, but the nation by saying if hes reelected roe v. Wade will be reinstated. Thats an enormous and powerful gift to Women In America who are struggling against the popery of horrific state laws. And the most heinous yes one in alabama that stopped building a family stopped fertility ability, the right to access fertility, how outrageous the president. And a rousing commitment tonight. And the women who were there, my colleagues, we will wait to say were not going backwards. Were Going Forward and were going to stand for womens rights. Seriously. Were going to stand for Reproductive Rights. And were going to write laws ourselves that are going to punish different states for laws that will punish providers and women. And many of us had guests that were in fact either victims or women who had to move their embryos from one state and next. And one in particular was a constituent of mine that was a guest of all whip and she came from texas and had to do the same thing to save her family. There were some 30 members brought guests who had to deal with Reproductive Rights. I should also say i didnt get white memo stance here, just is point, but i do want to ask you, i mean, on this idea of Reinstating Row is that realistic given how closely divided this congress has been, given, how even an inch on Reproductive Rights in the congress has been so difficult. I think you saw a reinvigorated president. And tonight and obviously hes counting on keeping the senate. And we only five seats away from making hakeem jeffries, the speaker of the house. We think we can do it. And one of the basis of that is the journey that republicans have tried or are determined to take, which is every moment they can take a right away from a Health Professional aid nurse, a dr. Or a woman, or a family, a man or woman want to build a family. They think, oh, he believes and we believe a two that were building sort of an army of opposition that will want to vote for him as president United States. We want to give us the senate are keeping the senate. And then to have the house with that in mind, we do have legislation that reinstates roe. So were not trying hes not trying to say that were going to get it this year, unfortunately, i wish it would because women are suffering. Families are not being protected. But hes saying that if you elect me as president , i am so committed. Im so outraged by what has happened we will use that as our number one, a one about number one, agenda items. I truly believe him and it needs to be reinstated i feel the pain of women who are hurt. But more importantly, we trained doctors to give medical care. But now were Training Doctors to be incarcerated, to be jailed, to be punished i think that is not the america we all know and love end. He chose his words very carefully on that about having the majority. Can we talk about your see because we were watching, You Maxwell Frost head think had one of the worst seats hes obviously new to. Congress, had posted his attack. You have this the coveted aisle seat, and we saw you president bush all the way to here with President Biden. How do you get the c1 and why is it so important to you . Well, you know, now is become almost accepted that thats where i will go. In the early on. I really got trained by senior members, but that was a long time ago. And what motivated me to keep doing it is that i would get extra work done by being able to talk to the president on i remember talking to president bush about federally qualified Health Clinics ive talked to some president s about criminal Justice Reform with respect to President Biden, weve been working for a long time on what many of you have heard and seen as a truck 40 was a commission to study slavery and develop reparation proposals, which i view as just knowing the history of america. So there are many opportunities immigration reform, which is one of the things i spoke about because im from texas and served on the immigration stopped the meeting since coming to the United States congress, serves as the Ranking Member, serves as the Ranking Member of the Border Security committee. So it gives you an opportunity to get that one little sentence in that the president remembers any turns to a staffer and says, call her about this. I love it because you take a long time to get a phone call with president , a long time to get a meeting. You may get it or long time to get with his staff for it to come back . And this president is very personable very welcoming, and very eager and takes what you say and turns to a stamp person. I expect to get a phone call so we can move forward on some of these issues window into how washington works, right . Its the best way to do it. I let someone thank you so much. Thank you. The president was very strong tonight were Going Forward. Were not going backwards. And he listed all of the things that suggest that we should stay with joe biden for the next president United States. Let us know when you get that call will have to talk about that congresswoman. Thank you for joining us so early and still ahead for the rest of you republican response from katie britt, the senator of alabama tonight, the junior senator.

What makes our moment rare is that freedom and democracy are under attack at both at home and overseas President Biden delivering a fiery address to the nation, fighting to frame his november rematch with donald trump as a battle for the future of american democracy. All the while weathering a flurry of pretty boisterous republican exchanges and interruptions, right . In the middle of a crucial speech to reignite enthusiasm for a second term. The question now though, is, was it enough joining me now to talk about this and senior cnn senior Political Analyst and Senior Editor for the Atlantic Ron Brownstein run because you were so senior im going to im going to go straight to your great analysis. You have a headline in the piece tonight that says, can biden began a reset tonight . Do you, think he did that i dont think youd get as much resetting as many people in the party might have light. I think what he did was show that he had a lot of vigor and energy to deliver a case against trump but i think it is pretty much the case that he has been delivering you know, i mean, three big elements, trumps a threat to democracy. Trumps a threat to your rights particularly on abortion. And im on your side and hes on the side of the rich and powerful. He did not do some things that he might have done tonight like talk more directly as you noted, that the governor, to americans who feel squeezed in the economy despite all the good news that he legitimately highlighted, you know, the basic necessities of life do cost more on groceries and rent and others. Then when he took office and there are a lot of people who feel unhappy about it. He didnt really reposition himself and netanyahu. He did on immigration. But i think overall this was a speech of a man and a campaign that believes that they are on a trajectory to win based on the contrast they are drawing and the vulnerabilities trump presents. And that really is the question. Are our other democrats as confident . But as they are that they basically have the right formula and just need to drive home the message. Yeah. I mean, that that is the big bet that theyre making. Biden didnt say the word trump, but he said, my predecessor, 13 times. It seemed like they made a decision pretty early on, just the way that the speech started. They decided this was going to be about showing fight. It was going to be about engaging in the confrontation more than it was going to be about trying to make this case about uniting the country. Do you think that was the right call . Well i think i think its the right call in the sense of alleviating concerns about whether he was up to the task of being the nominee. But i think there is a limit to how far their case against trump can take them. Theres no question we saw in 2022 and unprecedentedly large number of voters who said they disapproved of biden. And were down on the economy still voted for democrats because they viewed the republican and accept alternative as unacceptable. Theres clearly a pool of people who will say, im not satisfied with the way things are going. Im not satisfied with biden, but ill vote for him anyway, because trump is such a threat to what i believe but abby, it is not an infinite pool of people, right . I mean, he is already running higher in the headtohead further ahead of his Approval Rating than weve ever seen a president do. And it is not enough in most of these polls. Biden ultimately has to raise his own standing and his Approval Rating now, is it a level . Were in common president s whove been at this level of all lost and so i think ive already made some progress tonight and kind of giving people a better idea of what a second term would be. But ultimately, while i think the case against trump is his major asset, hes going to have to improve his own standing for that and decisive. Yeah. I mean, in terms of President Bidens standing with voters in the middle of the electorate who are ultimately going to decide this thing. Do you get the sense that anything that he said tonight is going to change where he stands with those voters who have actually those are the ones who have receded so far, hes got to get them back. Has he changed his standing with them well, i think the biggest calculated risks was basically sticking to such a positive vision of the economy. We are the envy of the world in any way as we are the job growth has incredible. He pointed out the Investment Boom that the big three bills he passed thats first three years and years that provoked a triggered but there are a lot of people who are feeling the caller is pretty tight from the cumulative increase in inflation since he took office and he really did not show a lot of empathy or awareness of the concerns that they are going through. And i think that is still a huge cloud for him over all the other positive developments in the economy that he can point to. He chose not to address that tonight in this kind of broader sense of not really reframing or repositioning very much. I suspect that if the polls stay where they are today in two months, we may hear a different tone on some of those issues. Im also concerned about the size of the bag of chips that i ate earlier today. But im not sure thats quite enough to address the economic concerns of americans. Ron brownstein, thank you very much. Good to see you tonight no shrinkflation out. Our panel is back with us. Lets talk about the other person who was in that room tonight, Speaker Mike Johnson. And one thing that we noted earlier President Biden has delivered three addresses to congress. This is the third House Speaker who has been behind him because first she was Nancy Pelosi Last Year was kevin mccarthy. And tonight, there was Speaker Mike Johnson over his left shoulder. Youll he was someone who urged his conference to tab to khorram earlier for in the room. You watched his face and his expressions. I think he only stood one time. What did you make of how the new speaker handled this . I mean, thats a difficult seat to be sitting in when all eyes the eyes of the world are on the president. And i think did a good job. I think i mightve seen one or two times when it collapsed didnt realize oh, i should not be clapping and put his hands down. But i think he is a man of great character and integrity and really, i think it was wise of him to encourage his republican colleagues to show respect and decorum for the venue that theyre in. Unfortunately, not everyone followed that, but i think he understands the respect that that speech deserves. And i think he did a good job doing it. I think he also understood though, that given how Dysfunctional Congress had been, you did not want to put that on the air tonight. Marjorie Taylor Greene gave it a little bit, but it was actually for her that was actually pretty contained there was one moment where President Biden was talking about talking about selma and mike johnson. Kila had to decide whether he was going to stand up or not. I was like, okay, dave, eventually but for john lewis, but there was a moment there. He wasnt so sure on Marjorie Taylor greene. I mean, first of all, he she could have listened to mike johnson and kept it civil. But then it almost seemed like she handed President Biden a pretty key moment tonight do you think he handled that the right way, notwithstanding that hes kind of gotten some criticism from his base about using the word illegals. But how did he handle that . That was a pretty key moment there. The big question for me going into the State Of The Union was, will House Republicans once again go with the heckling after it delivered . What many would say was the highlight for the white house and President Biden last year. And the answer was yes, they went with it again. I in terms of your question, i know that President Biden handled it in the way the white house wanted him to. They will they they had an intention to go in and engage with any republican at this point that has when i talked to democrats, ben, one of the defenses and one of the examples they point to when there are concerns about his age and what have you. So it definitely was what the white house intended to do so i actually think that the Republican Party doesnt just have a donald trump problem. I think they have a Marjorie Taylor greene theres this clip that is now floating around. Its from when joe biden is walking into the State Of The Union. Its the moment where Marjorie Taylorgreene hands him the button but what everybody is focusing on is how she is dressed head to toe in this kind of maga reelect trump. All of most of her colleagues followed the decorum rule. There are several points where she was heckling the president of the United States. And they asked her to shush and i think part of what the white house is really leaping at right now is that in the midst of this moment where people are saying, does joe biden and have energy, does do you notice joe biden age appropriate . What have you he is showing a contrast with somebody like Marjorie Taylor greene, who, who frankly it looks in saying its such a startling contrast particularly because its a reminder of what americans dont want to go back to. This idea of going back to that kind of, that kind of landscape that kind of partisanship. No, im not interested in that. So i think the Republican Party has to figure out the Republican Party needs to figure out how theyre going to handle this. She doesnt really do herself a whole lot of favors. I mean, maybe this maybe this is a Fundraising Thing and it works, but she let caused him to say her name. He messed it up, but he did say her name and otherwise, you may not its long as im from georgia. This case, shes talking about its ripped the heart out of many people in georgia. So i commend her for calling attention to it. The same time. Thats clickbait for her. Thats why its ironic that theyre saying buying was too political while she said in the chamber with her political giron. But i think we have moved past that thank you all for staying up late with us to break this down. A very important speech from President Biden before we go, as we have noted tonight, House Democratic women, as you saw, dressed in all white for President Bidens speech, a unified show of support for ivf, but also Abortion Rights. I should note tomorrow for Democratic Women will join me to talk about Reproductive Rights in america, sharing their emotional personal stories, sending a warning to women about a Second Trump Administration tomorrow at 09 00 eastern on the source thank you for joining us. Cnns coverage of President Bidens state of the Union Address continues. Right now. Have a good night hello, welcome to our viewers, joining us and all around the world. We want to get back to one of our top stories that were following this hour for you. And that is the us president s annual State Of The Union speech. Joe biden came out swinging with a forceful, energetic message aimed at defusing fears that hes too old for the job during his hour in prime time, the president repeatedly took shots at donald trump, but he only referred to him as my predecessor, never by name. Then said that his predecessor represents a dangerous past. Joe biden, who is already the oldest president in us history, sought to portray his age as an advantage rather than a liability. Staging that he has a positive Vision Of The Future and knows what ensures honesty, decency, dignity, and equality the very idea of americans, they were all created equal, deserves to be treated equally throughout our lives. Weve never fully lived up to that idea. When weve never walked away from it either walk away. Now President Biden is now looking ahead to the campaign trail, of course, so zeroing in on a critical Battleground States like michigan that could determine the outcome of the election soon as jeff zeleny is there the president s address was closely watched here in battleground, michigan, largely two key issues, the economy and foreign policy, particularly israels war in gaza, have been Critical Issues of concern here in michigan. Now theres no doubt michigan is one of the most important state its on the president ial map because of course, it is part of that blue wall that President Biden flipped from donald trump in 2020. But we spent some time with some biden supporters this evening who said the president exceeded their expectations i think that overall it was a different side of him that came out. He was like i said, very confident, very reassuring of the names that he has done for our country. And i didnt get a glimpse of him anything involving aid or the lack thereof of being able to deliver and be the president of the United States. People would try to make an issue, but i think they look but beyond the age where you think about it, most of them are old. But id rather have a president whos old. Thats very knowledgeable and thinks of people than to have a president since old and selfcentered. Now some supporters before the speech conceded being apprehensive about how the president would do. Again, they say he exceeded their expectations. The question is, can that be sustained over the next eight months as the campaign with donald trump certainly intensifies, but there is no doubt here in michigan among democrats, they were pleased by the president S Performance. The tough part of course comes next. Jeff zeleny, cnn, detroit and his prebuttal to mr. Bidens state of the Union Address, republican president ial candidate donald trump focused on the southern us border using his antiimmigration rhetoric he sometimes does in a truth social post trump criticizes successor for undoing his immigration policies. Take a listen to that joe biden is on the run from his record and lying like crazy to try and escape accountability for the horrific devastation he and his party of created all the while they can can you the very policies that are causing this horror show to go . We cannot take it any longer as a country. Joe biden, sad excuse for a state of the Union Addresses side. Here are the facts. When i left off as we gave joe biden the most secure border in us history, we gave him remain in mexico, very tough to get, but i got it. Safe. Third agreement. See asylum ban title 42, 571 miles of Border Wall Rapid Deportations and much more. We had the safest border in the history of our country. Mr. Biden, mrs. Trump raba appears to be taking a break from the campaign trail. The republican president ial candidate is preparing to host Hungarian Prime Minister viktor orban at his maralago estate in the coming day. Cnn, Sunlen Serfaty has more respected all over europe probably like me a little bit controversial, but thats okay in style and in substance. I liked them openings and hes like that former President Donald Trump in Hungarian Prime Minister viktor orban are two liters sharing one playbook. Some people dont like him because hes too strong they said a strong Man Running Get Kanji part charging the globalists can all go to how brash and antagonistic accusing us is fake news. And those who make these claims are simply idiots publicly praising each other. He doesnt allow illegals into his country. He put barbed wire fences all over. He has soldiers every ten yards echoing each others rhetoric and make america great. So again, and policies on immigration just told you migration. We have actually built that ball. We had the strongest border in history. We built 500 miles of wall russia in the ukraine war. If at the time of russian invasion on ukraine, trump would have been the president of United States. That would be no war now im absolutely sure zelenskyy. They both have weaknesses and they both have strengths. And within 24 hours that war will be settled, itll be over lgbtq rights on Korean People rejected Sexual Orientation programs in schools without parental consent, on day one, i was signing a new Executive Order to cut federal funding for any School Pushing Critical Race Theory transgender, insanity, and other inappropriate racial sexual, or political content on our children and their treatment of a free press f9, dont want to give them any ideas they know best how to write fake news fake news is all you get. And they are indeed the enemy of the people in the us or ban has become an icon in some far circles, even as his government seen by many as authoritarian, has changed election rules to him its benefit and threatened his political dissenters and rivals, what or represents at one level, that is the maga America First movement. Here scoring him prime Speaking Spots at the conservative confabs cpac, attracting the adoration of some of the Republican Partys top rightwing voices. And the tool be sitting down privately at Donald Trumps maralago resort, which only underscores the alliance. This friendship that has only grown in size since they first met nearly five years ago. Now, notably, of course, this comes at a very important time for trump as he is on track to clinch the republican nomination.
