0:00.0 | Okie dokie. I apologize for beginning the show by saying okie dokie, but we can't go back now. |
0:08.0 | We can't undo it. It happened. And we now both have to live with that. |
0:13.2 | All right, so moving past it, what's the latest fake stupid controversy that we can waste our time |
0:18.3 | talking about? For that, we go to Ken Kuchinelli, who is one of the one of Trump's top immigration |
0:23.7 | officials, a little background here. Before we get to the to the fake stupid controversy, |
0:27.6 | a little background, recently it was announced, in the past couple of days, it was announced by |
0:32.4 | the Trump administration that they would be taking steps to better enforce public charge policies. |
0:40.8 | Now, these are policies that Trump did not invent. They don't originate with him. |

1:38.1 | foremost. And so to keep adding more and more people from all across the world, say, yeah, take care |

1:47.6 | no real benefits to the nation or to society, to our society. Immigration should not be a one-way |
1:56.1 | street. It's always been the idea has always been you benefit because you get to come here and we |
