| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome to the show. Great to be back with all of you today. Happy early holidays to you all. I've been so busy. I kind of lost track what day it is. We've got the holidays coming up. Now, you may know me from Always in Fashion that I co-host alongside my father, Mark Weber, here on 710 W.O.R. I'm on with Lenin Michael in the morning. I'm a news nation legal contributor, anchor on the long crime network. |
| 0:23.3 | A lot to get into the border, Donald Trump, legal sagas, all everything going on with him, Israel, Biden, the disaster that is Harvard. |
| 0:32.9 | But the border has really been taking up a lot of my thoughts because one of the things we talk |
| 0:38.2 | about it as this issue. |
| 0:39.2 | We talk about this issue. |
| 0:40.2 | It's getting harder and harder to watch what is happening, both to the cost of the country, |
| 0:47.5 | but what is happening to the actual migrants? |
| 0:50.2 | When we say migrants, they are human beings. |

| 1:27.1 | but we can't come to an agreement. Now, the reason they can't come to an agreement is because it's not so simple. Like they can't just pass border legislation. They've had trouble doing that for years, but Republicans, they want border security. But in order to get that, they have to agree as of this packageers to prove that they need to be here |
| 1:46.3 | They want them to have a greater burden to prove that they are being persecuted in their home country and that they need to stay in the United States |
| 1:53.3 | They can't just be like oh it seems like they're gonna have trouble back home now they really need to show that there needs to be a sense of urgency |
