0:00.0 | Well, we are just a few days into the Trump administration. |
0:04.1 | We're already seeing a lot of activity going on at the border, which is surprising because I thought all that was impossible, wasn't it? |
0:11.5 | I mean, didn't we just go through a massive election cycle where we got told endlessly that in order to properly secure the southern border, what we needed to do was pass this bipartisan |
0:24.1 | piece of border security legislation that was going to empower and equip the president with all |

1:29.3 | over the last several days in order to ask a very, very important question. |
1:33.6 | Was that bill actually needed? And if not, why did they say it was? All of that coming up on |
1:39.9 | this episode of making the argument, I am your host, Nick Freitas. As you can see, I am still |
1:44.5 | captured here in Richmond because we are in legislative session for the Virginia General Assembly. |
1:50.0 | And that is why I'm not with my beautiful bride in the studio, Tina, Queen of the Bees. How are you doing, |
1:55.3 | babe? I'm good. How are you doing? Well, I'm not with you, so I'm miserable. |
