| 0:00.0 | Welcome everybody. We have a stunning turn of political events wherein Joe Biden through an executive order on immigration |
| 0:14.6 | and the border has completely taken out one of the biggest and only remaining arguments |
| 0:21.6 | that Donald Trump had for why you should elect him, which is that he will shut down the border when there are too many people coming over. |
| 0:30.0 | There is both a brilliance and a cynicism to what President Joe Biden has done that I want to discuss. |
| 0:38.1 | And Biden, like me, acknowledges that whatever you do at the border is not actually going to deal with the |

| 1:44.8 | for. |
| 1:45.8 | This is what Republicans proposed in their own bill, which they torpedoed because Trump didn't |
| 1:51.3 | want to solve it. Trump wanted to leave this problem as something to deal with when he becomes |
| 1:55.8 | president. |
| 1:56.8 | So here is President Joe Biden coming out swinging. |
| 1:59.7 | After weeks of intense negotiation between my staff and Democrats and Republicans. |
| 2:05.1 | We came to a clear, clear bipartisan deal. |
