0:00.0 | Sometimes running a business can feel like cycling uphill with square wheels. |
0:07.0 | But zero online accounting software can help predict the future cash flow of your business. |
0:15.0 | So you can stay one step ahead. Soon it'll feel more like free-wearing downhill. |
0:21.0 | On a tandem! What, mate? With a messer on the back. |
0:25.0 | Oh, that's nice. |
0:26.0 | Search zero with an ace. Because healthy business is beautiful business. |
0:30.0 | Great news, everyone. I know some of you have been worried about the effectively open southern border |
0:35.0 | across which millions and millions of foreign nationals are pouring every single day. |
0:39.0 | But according to Joe Biden's Secretary of Homeland Security, the total number of border encounters is actually down by a lot over the past couple of days. |
0:48.0 | Over the past two days, the United States Board of Patrol has experienced a 50% drop in the number of encounters versus what we were experiencing earlier in the week before Title 42 ended at midnight on Thursday. |
1:04.0 | It is still early. We are in day three. But, you know, we've been planning for this transition for months and months. |

1:30.0 | Great news, right? Except you'll notice he doesn't actually give any hard migrant numbers here. It's only percentages. |
1:39.0 | So if border crossings were stable and now they're down by half, that's great news. But if the border crossings are up by, let's say, a factor of three or more, then a reduction of 50% is actually still pretty bad news. So what's the number? |
1:57.0 | What are the numbers, 5,000? |
1:59.0 | So we have seen, I think, approximately 6,300 on Friday and about 4,200 yesterday by the United States border patrol. |
2:11.0 | And we saw over 10,000 before the end of Title 42 earlier last week. |
2:17.0 | And there it is. What did he say 6,200? I remember not so long ago. I was interviewing a member of Congress during an earlier border crisis. |
2:26.0 | And the number was in the 2000s. Maybe it was approaching 3,000 per day at that time, an unthinkable number. |
