 And welcome back to news on joining us once again our bipartisan panel Robin Byro and Melissa Armo. Thank you both for sticking around so we mentioned earlier in the show the vice president Kamala Harris set to deliver live press briefing just minutes from now and Guatemala this will be her first foreign trip as vice president and as immigration czar so the purpose of it is to figure out we see according to the administration have a stem the flow of migrants that arriving in the US from Guatemala and other Central American countries again we're gonna be bringing that to you live but first I want to start with you it's been months as you know we've talked about it before in this program since the vice president was appointed by the president to serve as border czar immigration czar yet she has never stepped foot at the border but we're gonna be seeing her here why go about it this way because it almost to some people gives the impression that she doesn't want to be confronted at the border that this is a kind of a way around it do you take it as that I mean this this administration not okay there you go yeah let me go I do take it as that and let me tell you why because as when she was a presidential candidate so many of her positions are now contrary to the positions that she's having to take as vice president in the Biden administration the Biden Harris administration because she's having to support president Biden's agenda which is different his immigration position was far different than hers was as a candidate as a presidential candidate at the time so it's it's she's having to do an about face I really would not want to walk in her shoes right now this is going to be difficult look the Biden administration just announced that they're resuming construction on the border wall could you imagine what it must be like for vice president Harris to have to stomach that that's a difficult pill to swallow but I'm glad that the administration is doing it it's what needs to be done yeah and we talked about that before and you know yet you still don't hear much about it remember when we brought it up on the program I said I can't imagine this going over too well with some of the more progressives in the Democratic Party but Melissa I do want to get your reaction to this because back in 2019 then President Trump cut federal aid to countries like Guatemala because he said those countries weren't doing enough to help curb illegal immigration and he was pointing to some of these large caravans we've also heard a number of reports that money hasn't and hasn't been able to solve the issue there because there's so much corruption going on in these countries that it's not actually getting to the people that need it but rather to these gangs so what does the vice president do here to make things different because it doesn't seem like just pouring three hundred and ten million dollars over there is going to solve the issue I think they're throwing money in a problem and it's not going to solve it and I think this talk today and we're going there today is really just for show again there's so much corruption what is giving money to that country going to do how is that going to resolve the problem are they going to build a wall are they going to put police forces people there are they going to arrest some of the people in the cartels no no they're not so why where is the money going why are we spending money when we're already being overtaxed or talking about increasing our taxes or federal taxes here why are we continually spending and spending and giving money to other countries one it's not going to solve the problem and two we're overspending to begin with so I think the bigger problem is like five years to live in Arizona years ago and there are people she didn't even know this during the one debate but she made fun of it and said our I think there was a Twitter about coyotes a coyote is a real thing it's a person that takes people okay and ransoms them and takes them across the border into the United States and charges money for them for the trip then they get to the United States and they call back to the families and they ask for more money if they don't give it they kill the people there are dead bodies found constantly in the desert in Arizona when people are ransomed and they don't pay up this is a business spending money to this country isn't going to solve it same thing with Mexico the fact that she is so unaware of what's going on that she even know what a coyote was again I don't remember if that was during the debate or one of her tweet but the fact that she even know that means that she should absolutely not be in charge of this problem well nonetheless she is and we are going to hear from her minutes from now so Robin you know as I mentioned the president former president very strict saying you know no we're not going to give you money anymore if you're going to just continue the whole idea was we're going to give you money so people stay there not so they continue to come to the border and cross over and do what they've been doing so what should she be doing what do we need to hear from her today to to ensure that our federal tax dollars are not being wasted again we're talking millions of dollars oh yeah it's a humongous vast sum of money and I agree Melissa that this is not the money is not going to solve the problem we really need Republicans and Democrats to work together on this this is an issue that affects all Americans this should be they should receive bipartisan support I'm like I said I'm glad to see the Biden administration taking the admit excuse me immigration crisis seriously and addressing it they're trying to do something but if nothing's going to happen if we can't get a new Republican support so my friends across the aisle who have been so up in arms about immigration for all these many years we need your help right now continued on this issue we've got to work together to get something done okay so Robin let me just sort out there we were talking to Dr. Tom Barelli we mentioned the administration you know going back to reconstructing the wall that it said it wasn't going to do what about this whole idea because there have been a number a myriad of Republicans that have said stay in Mexico Mexico policy weren't would this administration consider this actually I think that they would and I'll be anxious to see what ends up happening because I called these right on immigration I predicted what he was going to do because what he came from the Obama administration and Obama more miles of border wall then president Trump did as president and that's honestly the fault of the Democrats because we got in the way of him constructing more I'll admit that but look Obama wasn't was coined the deporter-in-chief at the time so I've talked about that yeah so it's this ingenuous at best but we've really got to tackle this problem it is a problem we as Democrats have got to admit that it's a problem I'm glad to see administration doing it but we need more Democrats than just the top of the administration to say this is a problem it needs bipartisan support all right for viewers that are watching at home you've heard what our panel has to say about this topic again we're going to bring that conference to you live but I'm curious to know what you think I mean what do you what do you think should you know they're talking about they're going there to explore the root cause what do you think the root causes and how can the US play a role in that or should we play a role in that should I ask you can always find me at real moranda con hashtag share your voice love to hear your thoughts all right moving on real quickly in the couple minutes that we have remaining Donald Trump the former president recently speaking at North Carolina at the Republican vension there this happened over the weekend we had live coverage here on real america's voice but calling out mark zuckerberg for the CEO's 350 million dollar donation to local election offices in 2020 here's a recording of that zuckerberg broke the law spending millions of dollars don't you think he broke the law millions of dollars to get out the vote efforts in highly democrat areas melissa did he break the law I mean you have people in Hollywood billionaires putting money towards campaign ads all the time elected officials is this any different I don't know if mark zuckerberg broke the law because I'm not in the company so I don't want to say but I know there were laws broken during the 2020 election specifically states allowed changes to some of the voting ways that people were allowed to vote particularly for example in pennsylvania and they didn't go through the proper process for that now whether or not zuckerberg had given that money to these local places or not would that have changed the outcome of the election that I cannot say and I do not know but I do know one thing if republicans and democrats in every single state before the next general election in 2022 and most importantly before 2024 you not tighten up these loading of voting laws and regulations then we're gonna have another fiasco and that fiasco could be next year and by fiasco I mean that half the country is upset about the election and thinks that it wasn't legitimate and half the it does that is a problem I don't care what the outcome is you can't you have to have a united melissa I'm gonna have to leave it there because I do want to get Robin the and I'm sorry Robin I only have about 15 seconds to respond but real quickly did he break the law and do you agree with what Melissa had to say I don't think he broke the law it depends on how the money was donated but thanks to Citizens United you can donate basically an unlimited amount through super PACs so if he did it that way he didn't break the law I don't like it I hate super PACs even though I advise one but yeah and I apologize that we are short on time but I don't want to cut you guys out but I have to go to a commercial break so Robin I'm sorry to make that short but please come back again and Melissa thank you we'll be right back
