Summary

As Biden’s lame duck administration winds down, he—or whoever's in charge—is leaving a few fun parting gifts for the incoming Trump Administration. From escalation in Ukraine, to a re-opened border surprise, to the intractable financial situation, Trump's team will have their work cut out for them. Democrat strategists, however, seem determined not to learn anything from their electoral failure, which bodes well for the future. So the editors remain optimistic—and thankful. Ryan gives a spirited reading of Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving proclamation, and the guys swap notes on holiday plans.

0:00.0	coming up on this episode of The Roundtable.
0:02.5	You have majorities now still, even after the election, with the prospect of it actually
0:07.7	happening, supporting mass deportation.
0:10.9	And this has been a big change over the last four years.
0:13.3	It's really flipped by 20 or 30 points, this question of, do we have too much immigration

0:39.8	The voters seem to have endorsed that change, of course.
0:42.7	And it's reflected in the exit polls as well.
0:45.2	And here you have the Biden administration.
0:47.2	I'm sorry, introducing a new app in December, maybe less than a month before inauguration of the new administration to basically throw up in the gates.
0:55.9	It's irresponsible, cynical, and just downright bad policy.
1:00.6	It's hard to explain anything, any explanation other than the Democratic Party seems committed to continuing the implicit policy of recent years,
1:10.8	which is to import as many foreigners
1:13.3	as possible, then try to get them on a track to some sort of citizenship, or at the very
1:18.0	least have them be your thumb on the scales for the next census and a shifting of a demographic
1:25.4	weight in terms of power in the house, the allocation of seats in the house,
1:30.7	and the rest.
2:00.2	Yeah. Welcome everyone once again to the roundtable of the editors and publishers podcast at the American Mind, also at the Claremont Institute.
