New Poll Numbers No So Bueno for Biden plus NY Mayor Adams Whines About Influx of Illegals into NYC · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Well, we got a new spend for bad poll numbers
0:03
Speaker 1: for the president of the United States of America. They're
0:06
Speaker 1: spinning it over at MSNBC by saying it's not that
0:09
Speaker 1: big of a deal that he's got the worst poll
0:11
Speaker 1: numbers of any president at this point going into a
0:13
Speaker 1: election year. Take a listen on MSNBC is They're like, yeah,
0:17
Speaker 1: you know, it's bad, but it's not that bad. It's
0:19
Speaker 1: just a snapshot.
0:20
Speaker 2: Maura is talking about the skepticism Mara really quickly. I'm
0:24
Speaker 2: so sorry, Mika talking about the skepticism really quickly of polling.
0:30
Speaker 3: I said that.
0:32
Speaker 2: A reporter a couple of days ago. I just, you
0:36
Speaker 2: know what, I don't want to hear the polls. I
0:40
Speaker 2: don't want to hear them. Because we heard that Joe
0:41
Speaker 2: Biden was going to win in a landslide in twenty
0:43
Speaker 2: twenty he didn't. We heard that Republicans were going to
0:47
Speaker 2: win in a massive red wave in twenty twenty two,
0:50
Speaker 2: even when we didn't feel it, but we heard it,
0:52
Speaker 2: and everybody told us and everybody talked about it, and
0:56
Speaker 2: then it didn't happen.
0:58
Speaker 4: I just again, I I.
1:01
Speaker 2: Just again, I really do wonder, Mara, what voter in
1:07
Speaker 2: suburban Atlanta that didn't vote for Donald Trump in twenty
1:11
Speaker 2: twenty is going to say, well, you know what, I
1:14
Speaker 2: didn't vote.
1:15
Speaker 3: For him in twenty twenty.
1:16
Speaker 4: But now after January the sixth, and after he stole
1:19
Speaker 4: nuclear secrets, and after he tried to get his own
1:22
Speaker 4: people to destroy his tapes, and after everybody that's testified
1:28
Speaker 4: against him, and.
1:29
Speaker 5: All these cases are people that he hired himself, and
1:33
Speaker 5: after he said he was going to terminate the constitution. Yeah, yeah,
1:36
Speaker 5: I think my friends in Alfaretta and I we're gonna
1:39
Speaker 5: go knock on.
1:40
Speaker 1: Doors for I love how they're like nuclear secrets, you're
1:43
Speaker 1: gonna after you've stole nuclear secrets, Like they're just making
1:46
Speaker 1: up crap as they go here. So the Democrats don't
1:50
Speaker 1: like the polls. Now they're critical of the polls that
1:53
Speaker 1: they create because they're the ones that create these polls.
1:56
Speaker 1: To be clear, they're the ones that do the polling
1:59
Speaker 1: at NBC mis NBC like they're they're there polls, y'all.
2:01
Speaker 1: They're like, they're actually their polls. They are the ones
2:03
Speaker 1: that actually do these poles. And now they don't like
2:07
Speaker 1: those polls because they think those polls are terrible.
2:11
Speaker 6: Right.
2:11
Speaker 1: They think those polls are just mean, they think those
2:13
Speaker 1: these polls are bad and and these these polls are
2:17
Speaker 1: are polls that well, I'm skeptical of because I can't
2:21
Speaker 1: believe that anybody would vote for Donald Trump. This goes
2:23
Speaker 1: back to the disdain issue here and the amount of disdain, right,
2:30
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean this, this is this is a
2:32
Speaker 1: amount of the the amount of disdain that they have
2:37
Speaker 1: for people when it comes to those that will not
2:40
Speaker 1: vote for for for their candidate. Right, they they they
2:44
Speaker 1: hate you, They are beneath you. They they they they
2:51
Speaker 1: can't stand you. And and if you do vote, they're
2:54
Speaker 1: gonna do what they can to try to flip your vote.
2:56
Speaker 1: That that's part of what this really is. It's a
2:59
Speaker 1: it's we do what we want to do, and if
3:02
Speaker 1: you don't follow our lead, then we'll just get rid
3:04
Speaker 1: of the guy that you elect. That's what they did
3:06
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump, right. He won an election in twenty sixteen,
3:09
Speaker 1: and for four years they were undermining him, making sure
3:12
Speaker 1: that every step of the way, every step of the
3:16
Speaker 1: way that you were that he was being undermined. They
3:19
Speaker 1: were impeaching him, even though they knew that. Still Docier
3:22
Speaker 1: was created by the Democrats and created by the DNC
3:25
Speaker 1: and created by Hillary Clinton's campaign, Like they knew that,
3:28
Speaker 1: and they knew when they were impeaching him that while
3:30
Speaker 1: they were doing it, they were impeaching him over something
3:34
Speaker 1: that was a lie, because they're the ones that paid
3:38
Speaker 1: for the lie, Like they're the ones that created the lie.
3:41
Speaker 1: And they know that as well. They knew all of
3:44
Speaker 1: this everything I just said to you. They know this right,
3:47
Speaker 1: like they know it. It's incredibly frustrating to then hear
3:51
Speaker 1: them come out and tell you that the polling sucks
3:56
Speaker 1: and because but again they're going back to their narrative, right,
3:59
Speaker 1: the polling sucks. However, I just can't get my head
4:03
Speaker 1: around somebody that could possibly want to vote for Donald Trump.
4:06
Speaker 1: This is how much they hate you. And this is
4:08
Speaker 1: also how much they're going to try to overthrow the
4:10
Speaker 1: will of the people this next time, because you don't
4:13
Speaker 1: deserve to vote if you don't vote for who they
4:15
Speaker 1: say is a good candidate. That's part of this, right, Like,
4:19
Speaker 1: you don't deserve a say so if you vote for
4:23
Speaker 1: somebody that we tell you shouldn't be voting for, and
4:26
Speaker 1: then if the polling sucks for our guy, then we
4:29
Speaker 1: don't trust the polling or the posters that we employ
4:33
Speaker 1: that give us polls because our candidate must be so
4:36
Speaker 1: amazing and Joe Biden, keep listening.
4:39
Speaker 4: Donald Trump, I don't see it happening.
4:41
Speaker 7: I actually I totally agree. I think we like to
4:44
Speaker 7: think of polls as as though they're biblical in some way,
4:49
Speaker 7: or they're perfectly scientific. It's really more of an art
4:52
Speaker 7: in many ways. It's just a snapshot in time of
4:56
Speaker 7: people you happen to catch on a certain day who
4:59
Speaker 7: may may not honestly tell you what they're feeling. Is
5:02
Speaker 7: then you have to put into the context of you know,
5:04
Speaker 7: there is a choice, and there will be a choice
5:07
Speaker 7: between two individuals, and on that day, the question is
5:10
Speaker 7: always which voters are the most motivated to show up,
5:14
Speaker 7: how many of them are there, And of course campaigning matters,
5:17
Speaker 7: getting out the vote matters, And all of this is
5:20
Speaker 7: to say that there are probably many Americans who may
5:23
Speaker 7: not be feeling that excited or enthusiastic about voting for
5:29
Speaker 7: President Biden, but on the day of I think many
5:33
Speaker 7: of them will show up anyway because they certainly don't
5:37
Speaker 7: want the alternative. And Donald Trump, I think we've seen
5:40
Speaker 7: that consistently in those polls, and so this is about
5:43
Speaker 7: turnout as much as it is about polls that are
5:46
Speaker 7: up and down on a specific candidate. So I think
5:49
Speaker 7: it's early and it's you don't want to take polls
5:54
Speaker 7: just by their.
5:55
Speaker 3: Word and move on.
5:56
Speaker 7: This is about something bigger than that. There's a context here.
5:59
Speaker 1: I love this just like you know, well historically here
6:01
Speaker 1: it's much bigger. So I think it's early and you
6:05
Speaker 1: don't want to take polls just by their word and
6:07
Speaker 1: move on. Okay, So Joe Biden in the polls they
6:10
Speaker 1: say sucks. No, no, no, we don't want to know he
6:13
Speaker 1: doesn't suck. Right, the economy is terrible, No, it's not.
6:16
Speaker 1: We think that at the end of the day, people
6:19
Speaker 1: will look at that Joe Biden and the babbling idiot
6:22
Speaker 1: that he's become and they'll say, well, he's still got
6:24
Speaker 1: to be better than Donald Trump. Now, I'll even say this,
6:27
Speaker 1: there could be some truth to that. If Donald Trump
6:31
Speaker 1: keeps arguing over spilled milk and keeps arguing over the
6:36
Speaker 1: election twenty sixteen are twenty twenty in the election results,
6:40
Speaker 1: saying it was stolen, and he campaigns on that, which
6:42
Speaker 1: he shouldn't if he campaigns on the issues, he'll win.
6:45
Speaker 1: If he does go back and keep saying it was stolen,
6:47
Speaker 1: it was stolen, it was stolen, and keeps trying to
6:49
Speaker 1: argue over that, which at this point no one cares about.
6:51
Speaker 1: Talk about the economy now, talk about how bad Biden
6:54
Speaker 1: is now, talk about how bad Biden is for the country.
6:57
Speaker 1: Right now, that's all that really matters right now. That
7:00
Speaker 1: it like, you don't need anything else. That's the whole
7:02
Speaker 1: ball game. If you argue over that, Donald Trump wins,
7:06
Speaker 1: But he's going to have to be disciplined as a
7:08
Speaker 1: leader and a politician. If he goes back and keeps
7:12
Speaker 1: rehashing twenty twenty and runs off of twenty twenty, that's
7:16
Speaker 1: how he loses the general election. And unfortunately, Democrats know
7:22
Speaker 1: that he'll take the bait ninety nine percent of the time.
7:24
Speaker 1: So he's going to have to learn to not take
7:25
Speaker 1: a bait. Is he going to be disciplined enough not to?
7:27
Speaker 1: When they ask him a question about the stolen election? Right,
7:30
Speaker 1: the rigged election, he'll give you twenty minutes to sound bites.
7:34
Speaker 1: And that's how they keep the other subjects like the
7:37
Speaker 1: economy and the war in Ukraine and the money that's
7:40
Speaker 1: being and the Biden corruption off of the front pages.
7:44
Speaker 1: Every time you talk about the election being rigged, you're
7:47
Speaker 1: taking these other issues off the front pages. That's the problem.
7:52
Speaker 1: And he's gonna have to really understand that as a
7:56
Speaker 1: candidate that, as much as he may want to talk
7:59
Speaker 1: about happened in twenty twenty, it's not the issue that's
8:03
Speaker 1: going to get you reelected. It's not the issue it's
8:05
Speaker 1: going to get you to win. Okay, that's the problem here,
8:09
Speaker 1: So that aspect of this, they could be telling the truth.
8:12
Speaker 1: But I still think this idea that they're like, oh,
8:14
Speaker 1: I don't trust posters anymore, Like give me a break,
8:17
Speaker 1: Like that's your line you're gonna go with, I don't
8:19
Speaker 1: trust polsters. Really. Dana Bash on CNN had this to
8:25
Speaker 1: say about the new poll numbers for Joe Biden that
8:28
Speaker 1: do not look good today on.
8:31
Speaker 8: Inside Politics, there is no way to spend this. CNN
8:34
Speaker 8: reads the country's mood right now and finds that America
8:38
Speaker 8: is deeply unhappy with Joe Biden. Most Democratic voters hope
8:42
Speaker 8: for a change at the top of the ticket, and
8:44
Speaker 8: Americans don't take the president and his word when he
8:47
Speaker 8: talks about his son Hunter, plus a deal he couldn't refuse.
8:52
Speaker 8: Trump employee number four flips after the government promises to
8:55
Speaker 8: shield the mar A lago It manager from prosecution and
9:00
Speaker 8: a road to ruin paved by the former president. Mike
9:03
Speaker 8: Pence warns that Republicans are headed for extinction, but in
9:07
Speaker 8: anyone in what is very much still Trump's GOP listening,
9:11
Speaker 8: Chris Christy will be here to talk about that in more.
9:13
Speaker 8: In moments, I'm Dana Bash. Let's go behind the headlines
9:16
Speaker 8: and inside politics a first. Our new poll has important
9:21
Speaker 8: new takeaways about twenty twenty four. There is deep rooted
9:24
Speaker 8: dissatisfaction with the incumbent and the direction he is taking
9:28
Speaker 8: the country. There are even deeper doubts about if mister
9:31
Speaker 8: Biden is up to the job again. CNN's David Challion
9:34
Speaker 8: is standing by for us at the Magic Wall. David,
9:37
Speaker 8: these numbers are just not good if you are a
9:41
Speaker 8: sitting president of the United States. Show us what they
9:44
Speaker 8: tell us.
9:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no doubt about that data. This is setting
9:47
Speaker 6: off alarm bells inside the Biden campaign in the White House. Overall,
9:50
Speaker 6: his approval rating is down now at thirty nine percent
9:54
Speaker 6: approved some more than six and ten Americans disapprove of
9:57
Speaker 6: the job he's doing. And you see he's been hovering
9:59
Speaker 6: here for a little bit, Dana, since the spring you
10:02
Speaker 6: mentioned that Democrats would like somebody other than Biden as
10:06
Speaker 6: the nominee of their party.
10:08
Speaker 1: That is dramatically so. Two thirds of.
10:11
Speaker 6: Democratic and Democratic leaning voters say that they would like
10:15
Speaker 6: a different candidate to be the Democratic nominee. Only a
10:18
Speaker 6: third of Democrats and Democratic leaners say they want Joe
10:21
Speaker 6: Biden to be the nominee. And we asked this open
10:25
Speaker 6: ended question of Democrats and Democratic leaners, what is your
10:29
Speaker 6: biggest concern about a Biden candidacy.
10:32
Speaker 1: It's not even close, Dana.
10:33
Speaker 6: Forty nine percent say it's his age, seven percent, mental sharpness,
10:37
Speaker 6: seven percent health ability to do the job. This is
10:40
Speaker 6: all related to Joe Biden being the oldest president currently
10:44
Speaker 6: serving and obviously asking the country to renew his contract
10:47
Speaker 6: for four mere years beyond next year.
10:49
Speaker 8: And what about a potential Biden Trump rematch. What do
10:52
Speaker 8: wer nabers say about that?
10:54
Speaker 1: Dana, It is a dead heat race, basically a.
10:57
Speaker 6: Forty seven percent Trump forty six percent and Biden. This
11:01
Speaker 6: is the first time we at CNN this cycle have
11:03
Speaker 6: tested a general election matchup like this, and this is
11:07
Speaker 6: no clear leader, well within the margin of error, a
11:10
Speaker 6: real dead heat contest, and you know what, it's not
11:13
Speaker 6: a contest. Many Americans are all that psyched about. I mean,
11:16
Speaker 6: look at their favorability numbers.
11:18
Speaker 1: They're the same.
11:19
Speaker 6: Thirty five percent of Americans have a favorable view of
11:21
Speaker 6: Joe Biden. Thirty five percent of Americans in this poll
11:24
Speaker 6: have a favorable view of Donald Trump. And Dana, look
11:27
Speaker 6: at some of these attributes for the president, he doesn't
11:30
Speaker 6: have majority support for any of them. Forty five percent
11:32
Speaker 6: of Americans says he cares about people like you, thirty
11:36
Speaker 6: three percent say they're proud to have Biden as a president.
11:39
Speaker 6: Only twenty eight percent of Americans says that the president
11:42
Speaker 6: inspires confidence.
11:43
Speaker 8: Dana, Wow, pretty incredible numbers there, David.
11:49
Speaker 1: I love this. Wow, pretty incredible numbers. All right, So
11:51
Speaker 1: these numbers suck, They're awful. So how do we spend them? Right?
11:59
Speaker 1: We go back to Trump sucks even more. That's that's
12:03
Speaker 1: how we do this. We go into Trump sucks even
12:05
Speaker 1: more and we tell people that Donald Trump is the
12:09
Speaker 1: worst president ever, and then we'll stick with it. That way,
12:12
Speaker 1: or we go back to the other thing. We go
12:16
Speaker 1: back to COVID, right and the COVID election, and maybe
12:21
Speaker 1: we get it that way. It's possibility we will just
12:24
Speaker 1: bring back COVID three point oh, four point oh whatever point.
12:27
Speaker 1: Oh we're at at this point. There is a problem
12:31
Speaker 1: that's happening for Democrats right now. Specifically, that problem is
12:36
Speaker 1: they're now having to deal with the crisis at our
12:39
Speaker 1: southern border is being brought to cities. Yeah, where they
12:45
Speaker 1: claim they were a welcoming city. That's no longer the case.
12:48
Speaker 1: New York said, bring us everybody, and we will host
12:51
Speaker 1: you and take care of you and give you hotels.
12:53
Speaker 1: And now that mayor is losing his mind is they
12:57
Speaker 1: are overrun with illegal immigrants who took them at their work.
13:00
Speaker 1: Heard Mike Pince saying this about the idea that the
13:04
Speaker 1: New York mayor Adams is actually trying to blame Donald
13:07
Speaker 1: Trump for the migrant crisis. This is hysterical.
13:10
Speaker 3: Listen, great seem as the Vice president. Good to see it.
13:12
Speaker 3: You're a fault, you and Donald Trump's fault. What's your
13:15
Speaker 3: reaction to the blame game? Well, look, you in office
13:18
Speaker 3: in two and a half years.
13:18
Speaker 9: Yeah, Look, it was Labor Day. I was up in
13:21
Speaker 9: New Hampshire, and you know, I said on New York
13:24
Speaker 9: radio that I appreciate I appreciate Mayor Adams calling out
13:27
Speaker 9: Joe Biden, but it's pretty rich to hear him say
13:31
Speaker 9: that after our administration reduced illegal immigration and asylum abuse
13:36
Speaker 9: by ninety percent by building hundreds of miles a wall
13:40
Speaker 9: remain in Mexico, policy that I negotiated on behalf of
13:43
Speaker 9: the administration in Title forty two, and then Joe Biden
13:47
Speaker 9: came in and on day one he dismantled all of
13:50
Speaker 9: the policies of our administration that had worked to secure
13:53
Speaker 9: the southern border of the United States. So, you know,
13:56
Speaker 9: I appreciate Mayor Adams conceding the fact that this is
14:00
Speaker 9: a Biden administration problem, but it originated with the Biden administration.
14:05
Speaker 1: As well in the America.
14:06
Speaker 3: I think he believes what he said. Do you think
14:08
Speaker 3: he believes what he said? It's really hard to believe.
14:12
Speaker 9: Literally, I mean, we had secured the southern border of
14:15
Speaker 9: the United States. And you know, as I'm out traveling
14:18
Speaker 9: all across the country campaigning for the Republican nomination, sometimes
14:22
Speaker 9: people say to me, do you think we can secure
14:24
Speaker 9: the southern border.
14:25
Speaker 3: We did it before.
14:27
Speaker 9: Okay, we literally secured the southern border.
14:29
Speaker 3: Of the United States.
14:30
Speaker 1: We can do it again.
14:32
Speaker 9: But Joe Biden's open borders policies have created the worst
14:35
Speaker 9: border crisis in American history. If I'm president in the
14:38
Speaker 9: United States, day one, we put back into effect the
14:41
Speaker 9: policies that worked in our administration and build out from
14:44
Speaker 9: there to secure our border and fix this broken immigration system.
14:49
Speaker 1: Now here's the part that I laughed Mike Pence, and
14:51
Speaker 1: I want to I just wanted to hear what he
14:53
Speaker 1: said because it is hilarious. Right, somehow, this is the
14:56
Speaker 1: Trump Pens policy problem. That's what the mayor of New
14:58
Speaker 1: York saying, which is a they didn't have this problem
15:01
Speaker 1: there when Donald Trump was the President of the United
15:04
Speaker 1: States of America. They got this problem when Joe Biden
15:07
Speaker 1: opened up the southern border and then they started shipping
15:10
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants to New York. After New York was like,
15:12
Speaker 1: we'll take them all. We would love to have these
15:14
Speaker 1: people come in, we would love to take care of them.
15:16
Speaker 1: We're a welcoming, opening, loving city. Now. Senator Ted Cruz
15:21
Speaker 1: was on as well on Fox talking about this. Right
15:25
Speaker 1: this is a problem in Texas. Senator Cruz blasting Democratic
15:30
Speaker 1: cities for changing their tune on the migrant crisis, saying,
15:34
Speaker 1: it's an astonishing hypocrisy from the left.
15:37
Speaker 10: Listen, lisis we've been able to pull in Senator Ted Cruz.
15:40
Speaker 10: I know he's busy on the hill. Republican from Texas,
15:43
Speaker 10: ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee, also a member
15:46
Speaker 10: of the Senate Judiciary and Foreign Relations Committees. So I
15:49
Speaker 10: know I don't have you for long.
15:51
Speaker 1: Senator.
15:52
Speaker 10: First of all, when you hear Eric Adams here in
15:55
Speaker 10: New York, the mayor and other Democrat led cities leaders saying, oh,
15:58
Speaker 10: they're feeling the pain and we're a sanctuary city. But
16:02
Speaker 10: but but but but what do you say?
16:04
Speaker 11: You know, it really is astonishing hypocrisy. You've got Eric Adams,
16:09
Speaker 11: You've got the governor of New York, You've got the
16:10
Speaker 11: governor of Massachusetts. You've got the mayor of Washington, d c.
16:13
Speaker 11: The mayor of Chicago, the mayor of San Francisco. All
16:17
Speaker 11: of them are discovering suddenly the burdens of Joe Biden's
16:20
Speaker 11: open borders and illegal immigration, and they're seeing thousands or
16:24
Speaker 11: tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants,
16:28
Speaker 11: and they're discovering that it drives up crime rates, that
16:31
Speaker 11: it drives up, it drives up the burdens on the city.
16:35
Speaker 11: It overcrowds the schools, it overcrowds the hospitals. And I
16:39
Speaker 11: got to say, coming from Texas, it's amusing. We've had
16:42
Speaker 11: seven million illegal immigrants under Joe Biden, and so seeing
16:47
Speaker 11: Eric Adams complain about one hundred thousand, it is cute.
16:51
Speaker 11: But he still doesn't bother to put the blame where
16:53
Speaker 11: it belongs. This is a political decision by Joe Biden,
16:58
Speaker 11: by Kamala Harris. And by the way, Chuck Schumer. If
17:01
Speaker 11: Eric Adams wants to talk to someone, Chuck Schumer lives
17:04
Speaker 11: in New York City. He says rightly that illegal immigration
17:07
Speaker 11: is destroying New York City. Well, he can pick up
17:10
Speaker 11: the phone and tell Chuck Schumer to stop fighting for
17:14
Speaker 11: open borders, to stop protecting the Biden administration as they
17:18
Speaker 11: lawlessly open the borders.
17:20
Speaker 10: Can you talk to me about the focus on the
17:23
Speaker 10: dissolution if you will, that the degradation here in New York,
17:27
Speaker 10: but that focus was never on Texas. You didn't hear
17:30
Speaker 10: Governor Greg Abban. I know I've interviewed you and him
17:33
Speaker 10: and others from that beautiful state where I have family
17:36
Speaker 10: many many times have heard how they are crushed under
17:39
Speaker 10: the weight of illegals coming across the border. But no
17:41
Speaker 10: one ever says it's going to change us to the
17:44
Speaker 10: point where we cease to exist. I mean, is that
17:46
Speaker 10: desperation or is that true coming out of the city's mayor.
17:49
Speaker 10: How bad do you think it will get for them
17:51
Speaker 10: because they aren't handling it.
17:52
Speaker 11: Well, Look, I think it's both and I think it
17:55
Speaker 11: is utter hypocrisy. At the same time, the order of
17:58
Speaker 11: magnitude is really Listen, this was stark last year. You
18:03
Speaker 11: look at a community like Martha's Vineyard. Martha's Vineyard has
18:06
Speaker 11: a population between twenty and thirty thousand people, and when
18:10
Speaker 11: Governorn DeSantis sent fifty five zero illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard,
18:16
Speaker 11: they freaked out, They declared an emergency, they called in
18:19
Speaker 11: the National Guard, and they deported them within twenty four hours.
18:22
Speaker 11: To put that in comparison, I want you to compare
18:25
Speaker 11: it to another town that is about the same size
18:27
Speaker 11: as Martha's Vineyard, that is Del Rio, Texas. Del Rio
18:30
Speaker 11: Texas is a town right on the border on the
18:32
Speaker 11: Rio Grande River as a population of about thirty thousand people.
18:36
Speaker 11: I was there in Del Rio when on one single
18:41
Speaker 11: day there were between ten and fifteen thousand illegal immigrants
18:46
Speaker 11: in a single day, fifty percent of the population of
18:50
Speaker 11: Del Rio all gathered under a bridge right there, invading
18:55
Speaker 11: the city. Martha's Vineyards says, fifty is an emergency. Eric
18:59
Speaker 11: Adams says in New York City, one hundred thousand is
19:02
Speaker 11: an emergency. We got Texas towns where half the population
19:07
Speaker 11: is coming in illegally, and yet the Democrats still refuse
19:11
Speaker 11: to do anything about it. Today, Joe Biden is releasing
19:15
Speaker 11: more illegal immigrants, is enriching more human traffickers, is allowing
19:19
Speaker 11: more and more illegal drugs and fentanyl to flood across
19:23
Speaker 11: the border. That is killing Americans across our country.
19:26
Speaker 10: Wow, Senator, I'm glad you're with us. I'm going to
19:29
Speaker 10: get to this now because we just found out about
19:31
Speaker 10: these court documents.
19:33
Speaker 1: By the way, you listen to him explaining how bad
19:36
Speaker 1: it is, and Democrats are like, all right, it's bad.
19:39
Speaker 1: We're admitting it's bad at the border, right, it's bad.
19:42
Speaker 1: But the real problem is now it's becoming our problem
19:45
Speaker 1: in these cities, and so Adams is like, well, you
19:49
Speaker 1: don't understand how bad it is. Guy Benson, New York City.
19:52
Speaker 1: They're talking about this last night on TV. Listen to
19:54
Speaker 1: what he had to say about this at Fox as well,
19:57
Speaker 1: about this quote, massive crisis in New York. How you
20:00
Speaker 1: doing doing great?
20:01
Speaker 3: Great?
20:01
Speaker 1: Awesome?
20:02
Speaker 3: You look fantastic.
20:03
Speaker 1: Thank you.
20:03
Speaker 12: Is the only solution to put a Republican in charge,
20:06
Speaker 12: And because that's not possible, we're doomed.
20:09
Speaker 13: There's probably no great immediate solution in some of these places.
20:12
Speaker 13: And I am just blown away by the ratcheting up
20:16
Speaker 13: of the rhetoric from Mayor Adams, because we're not that
20:19
Speaker 13: far removed from the Trump years, and all these people
20:22
Speaker 13: were saying back when Trump was president, oh, let's read
20:25
Speaker 13: the Statue of Liberty, poems right the poor and the
20:28
Speaker 13: huddled masses. And now I was like, it's destroying our city.
20:32
Speaker 13: It's just a few years later, and that's quite a
20:36
Speaker 13: reality check, right, And I'm now seeing Adams getting attacked
20:40
Speaker 13: by the left for being a mini Trump, for just
20:43
Speaker 13: recognizing the problem playing out in front of his eyes,
20:46
Speaker 13: and he's trying to sort of blame Republicans. They're not
20:49
Speaker 13: really saying the final thing out loud, which is they
20:52
Speaker 13: need to secure the border and then this will stop
20:55
Speaker 13: because they don't want to piss off their base because
20:58
Speaker 13: their base actually doesn't believe it. I don't want to
21:00
Speaker 13: know what's their definition of sanctuary? Yeah right, they're also
21:03
Speaker 13: happy with their sanctuary policies. What exactly do you think
21:07
Speaker 13: that means? Aside from we're not Republicans and we like
21:10
Speaker 13: immigrants that it was virtue signaling. Now they are confronted
21:14
Speaker 13: with the actual consequences and they're like, whoa, we did
21:17
Speaker 13: not sign up for this, Yes, wonderful lesson.
21:19
Speaker 12: I remember Adams was saying people were gonna have to
21:21
Speaker 12: take people in, which actually would be the literal definition
21:25
Speaker 12: of a sanctuary. That if you believe in the sanctuary, Emily,
21:28
Speaker 12: you should have some you should have one of these
21:30
Speaker 12: illegal immigrants off the street and in your house.
21:32
Speaker 3: What's I hear you've been doing?
21:34
Speaker 1: Congratulations. And one of the things that he said that
21:37
Speaker 1: was mentioned there in this conversation is that, well, we're
21:40
Speaker 1: going to need people to open up their homes and
21:42
Speaker 1: take people in. Really, that's what you want, You want
21:45
Speaker 1: people to open up their homes and take people in Liker.
21:48
Speaker 1: That's that's how you're going to deal with this. Come on,
21:52
Speaker 1: that's the solution here, really, Like, that's it. That's what
21:55
Speaker 1: you're gonna do. Yeah, that's what we're gonna do. Come on,
21:57
Speaker 1: this guy is such an idiot. He pandered, and now
22:02
Speaker 1: he's having to deal with the pandering, right, Like, what
22:04
Speaker 1: do you do now? Mayor Adams has come out saying
22:08
Speaker 1: that we can't sustain this, we can't keep this happening.
22:12
Speaker 1: He warns that this migrant crist is going to destroy
22:16
Speaker 1: the city.
22:17
Speaker 14: Listen, we turned this city around in twenty months, and
22:21
Speaker 14: then what happened started with a madman down in Texas
22:26
Speaker 14: decided he wanted to bust people up to New York City.
22:29
Speaker 14: One hundred and ten thousand migrants. We left to feed, clothes, house,
22:38
Speaker 14: educate the children, watch their laundry sheets, give them everything
22:44
Speaker 14: they need, healthcare, and this team here wed let's do
22:49
Speaker 14: everything possible before we have to push it out into
22:52
Speaker 14: neighborhoods and communities. Month after month, I stood up and
22:56
Speaker 14: I said, this is going to come to a neighborhood
22:57
Speaker 14: near you. Well, we're here, We're here, We're getting no
23:03
Speaker 14: support on this national crisis.
23:08
Speaker 1: Oh it's a national crisis. Wow, what a change of tune. Right,
23:14
Speaker 1: national crisis.
23:15
Speaker 3: It gets better, and we're receiving no support.
23:17
Speaker 14: And let me tell you something, New York is never
23:20
Speaker 14: in my life have I had a problem that I
23:23
Speaker 14: did not see an end in two.
23:25
Speaker 3: I don't see an ending to this. I don't see
23:28
Speaker 3: an ending to this.
23:29
Speaker 14: This issue will destroy New York City, destroy New York City.
23:36
Speaker 1: Okay, So if we use that logic, then I think
23:38
Speaker 1: it's fair to say that every other city that's dealing
23:40
Speaker 1: with this time to one thousand, it's destroying their cities too,
23:44
Speaker 1: isn't it right? I mean, it's destroying them, you know.
23:47
Speaker 1: He also went on TV to complain about illegal immigrants
23:50
Speaker 1: yesterday the day before. Here's what he said.
23:53
Speaker 14: This is a national and statewide issue that has been
23:57
Speaker 14: unjustly dropped into the Latin of New York City resident.
24:02
Speaker 14: We only make up point zero five of the land
24:07
Speaker 14: mass in New York State. Point zero five that's what
24:10
Speaker 14: we make up. Yet we are housing over ninety nine
24:15
Speaker 14: percent of the migrants.
24:17
Speaker 1: I sit back and I enjoy these moments watching them
24:21
Speaker 1: freak out, calling it things like this.
24:25
Speaker 15: This is not a sign of a progress of This
24:28
Speaker 15: is a sign of a crisis, the greatest, I believe,
24:31
Speaker 15: humanitarian crisis the city has ever witness.
24:34
Speaker 1: Okay, So if that's true, then why are you not
24:38
Speaker 1: calling for secure in the border right This influx the
24:41
Speaker 1: greatest humanitarian crisis the city has ever witnessed. Okay, then
24:44
Speaker 1: you should call right now to secure the border. And
24:49
Speaker 1: you're not. He did a seven minute sit down interview
24:53
Speaker 1: with CBS this morning, and yet he does an entire
24:57
Speaker 1: seven minute interview, he doesn't once call for secure in
24:59
Speaker 1: the He calls emunitank crisis. He calls it a crisis
25:03
Speaker 1: that is rocking the city, that this is going to
25:05
Speaker 1: destroy his city. But he will not say we must
25:09
Speaker 1: secure the border because he's a WUS. He's putting his
25:12
Speaker 1: politics ahead of the safety and security and the prosperity
25:16
Speaker 1: of the citizens he represents. He's trying to blame the
25:18
Speaker 1: insane man down in Texas that busts some people up
25:21
Speaker 1: to New York City, which is again hysterical. Listen ow
25:24
Speaker 1: CBS this morning put it to him.
25:26
Speaker 16: If the US is facing a humanitarian crisis, over where
25:29
Speaker 16: the place migrants who are seeking asylum in this country.
25:32
Speaker 16: In New York City, a new center has just opened
25:35
Speaker 16: up on Randalls Island.
25:36
Speaker 3: It's expected to house.
25:37
Speaker 16: Listen to this number up to three thousand migrants. Other
25:41
Speaker 16: cities like Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago are also trying
25:45
Speaker 16: to manage an overwhelming number of new arrivals. Our national
25:48
Speaker 16: correspondent Eureka Nunkin spoke with the mayor of New York
25:51
Speaker 16: City about how to handle.
25:52
Speaker 3: The situation here.
25:53
Speaker 16: A lot of people feel this out of control here already.
25:55
Speaker 17: It truly is, and we see more of that over
25:58
Speaker 17: the last year. You know. The mayor that was sent
26:00
Speaker 17: down with Eric Adams predicts that the city could spend
26:02
Speaker 17: upwards of twelve billion dollars over three years without more
26:06
Speaker 17: help from the state. More than five hundred migrants arrived
26:09
Speaker 17: in New York City on Sunday alone, and last week
26:12
Speaker 17: we spoke with some of them, who say they are
26:14
Speaker 17: simply looking for a better life. Around six am, two
26:20
Speaker 17: buses with dozens of migrants pull into the heart of
26:23
Speaker 17: New York City. Marjorie Tovar came from Venezuela and says
26:30
Speaker 17: she's happy to be here, happy because God gave me
26:35
Speaker 17: the opportunity to arrive here with my daughters. The National
26:38
Speaker 17: Guard directs them to an intake center roughly twenty minutes
26:42
Speaker 17: away on foot, but community organizer Power Mulu and others
26:46
Speaker 17: step in to get the migrants' ubers while handing out snacks.
26:50
Speaker 18: We first triage, We listened to their stories, We listen
26:54
Speaker 18: to their needs.
26:55
Speaker 17: Are you overwhelmed?
26:56
Speaker 3: No, I am not overwhelmed.
26:58
Speaker 18: I am a little bit upset that we are going
27:02
Speaker 18: from one whole year and we still have people sitting
27:06
Speaker 18: in hotels and in shelters, and we have not done
27:11
Speaker 18: the proper outreach.
27:12
Speaker 17: Since spring of last year, New York City officials say
27:15
Speaker 17: they've provided shelter and care for over one hundred thousand
27:19
Speaker 17: asylum seekers. On Randall's Island is where you'll find the
27:23
Speaker 17: latest center to open, with rows of cots, a place
27:26
Speaker 17: to shower, and a dining area. Mayor Eric Adams says
27:30
Speaker 17: it's expected to house up to three thousand people.
27:33
Speaker 1: Is this a sign of right, by the way? Three
27:35
Speaker 1: thousand people? So, what Adams is now realizing is exactly
27:38
Speaker 1: what border states have been dealing with now for years
27:41
Speaker 1: and years and years. And he's saying it's going to
27:44
Speaker 1: destroy a city. But he won't say.
27:47
Speaker 8: So.
27:47
Speaker 1: He'll admit it's going to destroy a city. It's going
27:49
Speaker 1: to destroy the city, it's gonna hurt the city. But
27:52
Speaker 1: what he won't say, Okay, what they won't say, to
27:58
Speaker 1: be very clear, is that we need to secure the border.
28:01
Speaker 1: They'll say everything else, but that. Listen to the second
28:06
Speaker 1: part of Mayor Adams freaking out about the influx, calling
28:09
Speaker 1: it a great humanitarian crisis that's going to ruin the city.
28:12
Speaker 1: But he still won't say the magic words, we must
28:15
Speaker 1: secure the border to stop this from happening in New York.
28:17
Speaker 17: Listen, now, progress or does this speak to the humanitarian
28:21
Speaker 17: crisis your city is facing.
28:23
Speaker 15: This is not a sign of a progress of This
28:26
Speaker 15: is a sign of a crisis, the greatest, I believe,
28:30
Speaker 15: humanitarian crisis the city has ever witness.
28:33
Speaker 17: But some like mlu have been critical of the mayor,
28:36
Speaker 17: questioning how money is being spent and how migrants are
28:40
Speaker 17: being treated.
28:41
Speaker 3: The rest of it.
28:41
Speaker 18: Sites with no showers, the no ac the.
28:45
Speaker 19: People practically sleeping on top of each other, the people
28:48
Speaker 19: getting threatened that they're going to get deported if they
28:50
Speaker 19: complain about a living condition, people calling us and telling
28:54
Speaker 19: us they're moving us from one hotel to another hotel.
28:57
Speaker 17: Mulu says migrants that city runs for scale have sent
29:01
Speaker 17: him pictures of frozen food.
29:03
Speaker 1: By the way, can we just do you understand what's
29:05
Speaker 1: happening here? These people are mad that they're having to
29:09
Speaker 1: move from one hotel to another hotel. They're mad that
29:11
Speaker 1: their food isn't perfect. These are the illegal immigrants that
29:15
Speaker 1: are coming in to this country, and then they're angry
29:17
Speaker 1: after they break in our country that they're having to
29:19
Speaker 1: move hotel rooms. You poor little babies. If you don't
29:22
Speaker 1: like it, then go back to the country you came from.
29:24
Speaker 1: If you don't like it, don't break into our country.
29:25
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be getting free food, by the way, they
29:27
Speaker 1: shouldn't be getting a free hotel room. That's part of
29:29
Speaker 1: the reason why some people are going to New York
29:31
Speaker 1: City now is because all the liberal handouts are like, Oh,
29:33
Speaker 1: this is awesome. I get to live in a hotel,
29:34
Speaker 1: I get free food. And now they're like, oh, but
29:36
Speaker 1: they're traumatizing me. They're telling me that if I talk
29:38
Speaker 1: about how bad the conditions are that I'm staying in
29:41
Speaker 1: for months on end, that they're going to deport me. Well,
29:44
Speaker 1: then you you should be deported just because you're here.
29:48
Speaker 1: If you don't like it, get the hell out of
29:49
Speaker 1: my country.
29:50
Speaker 17: And meals consisting of just crackers and fruit cups. We
29:54
Speaker 17: showed those images to the mayor.
29:56
Speaker 7: Have you heard this before?
29:57
Speaker 3: No, especially with the frozen food we have.
30:00
Speaker 15: When we hear about one of our service providers not
30:03
Speaker 15: meeting our standards, we immediately get in and we need
30:06
Speaker 15: to be clear that I'm on the ground.
30:08
Speaker 3: I'm not detached from this.
30:10
Speaker 15: I walked through surprise visits to see the quality of service.
30:13
Speaker 15: How often, very often, very often, I can give you
30:17
Speaker 15: once a week. I am looking at one of the
30:19
Speaker 15: locations to make sure we're reaching the standard.
30:21
Speaker 17: The city has demanded help from the state in response.
30:25
Speaker 17: Last week, an attorney for New York Governor Kathy Hochel
30:28
Speaker 17: sent a skating letter to a judge as part of
30:31
Speaker 17: a legal proceeding. In part, she raised concerns about the
30:35
Speaker 17: mayor's handling of the migrant crisis. The state alleges that
30:39
Speaker 17: you didn't share information promptly, that you all did not
30:42
Speaker 17: implement programs in a timely manner. She says, you've turned
30:45
Speaker 17: away opportunities to house thousands of migrants when.
30:48
Speaker 14: We looked at the analysis of about the twelve spaces
30:50
Speaker 14: they gave us. Some of them were in floodplain areas
30:54
Speaker 14: of them were not suitable to build in.
30:56
Speaker 17: On top of that, Mayor Adams says, there's another complicated
30:59
Speaker 17: issue at play, the right to work. Legally, migrants must
31:03
Speaker 17: wait six months after they've applied for asylum before they
31:07
Speaker 17: are eligible for work permits, and due to backlogs, the
31:11
Speaker 17: weight could take years. What specifically can you do to
31:14
Speaker 17: address that issue?
31:15
Speaker 1: But by the way, all this complaining from illegal immigrants, well,
31:18
Speaker 1: I'm having to wait too long to work. I'm having
31:20
Speaker 1: to wait too long for this, and I don't like
31:21
Speaker 1: the food, I don't like the hotel room you're putting
31:23
Speaker 1: me in. Get the hell out of my country. Get
31:26
Speaker 1: the hell out of my country. Please get out of
31:30
Speaker 1: my country. If you don't like it, get out. You
31:34
Speaker 1: broke in, get out. And if we'd stop feeding them,
31:38
Speaker 1: they'll leave. If you stop housing them, they won't come.
31:42
Speaker 1: If you stop giving them the American dream for while
31:46
Speaker 1: breaking the law, they'll stop showing up. Listen to this
31:50
Speaker 1: last part. By the way, Adam's talking about the future
31:53
Speaker 1: in New.
31:53
Speaker 17: York of migrants not being able to work.
31:57
Speaker 15: We're going to do the duality of calling for rightfully
32:00
Speaker 15: the resources for the city, even something simple as calling
32:03
Speaker 15: the state of emergency. If the President does that, it
32:06
Speaker 15: allows us to get resources.
32:09
Speaker 17: According to current and former senior US officials and internal documents,
32:14
Speaker 17: the White House has been reluctant to push ahead policy
32:17
Speaker 17: changes because of legal risks, political optics, and a spike
32:21
Speaker 17: in border crossings. The White House emphasized in a statement
32:24
Speaker 17: to CBS News it's commitment to working with cities, but
32:28
Speaker 17: said ultimately Congress needs to approve additional funding. What would
32:32
Speaker 17: you say to President Biden if he's listening right now.
32:35
Speaker 15: The precursor to sleep, to enjoy the American dream is
32:39
Speaker 15: the right to work.
32:40
