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.
