I'm Maria Konnikova. And I'm Nate Silver. And our new podcast, Risky Business, is a show about making better decisions. We're both journalists who moonlight as poker players. And that's the lens we're going to use to approach this entire show. We're going to be discussing everything from high-stakes poker to personal questions. Like whether I should call a plumber or fix my shower myself. And of course,

we'll be talking about the election too. Listen on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

We have the Senate.

We have the House of Representatives.

We've got to get back in the wait room, but it's time to get back in the wait room.

What do we need to work on first?

First and foremost, the border.

It's no debate. Remember, we've talked about this many times before,

will end a nation of any size, any size. No country can withstand unending numbers of people pouring into it from poor crime-ridden third world dumps.

That's not how it works throughout history. Every time it's happened, the country has collapsed.

It's not enough to simply secure the border. We have to begin deporting people and deporting them en masse. I like the cut of Tom

Holman's jib. We have seen one estimate that says it would cost $88 billion to deport a million

people a year.

I don't know if that's accurate or not.

Is that what American taxpayers should expect?

What price do you put on on national security?
