“They talk about the border, but Yeah, not with the border because it hasn't come up yet, but for a whole bunch of other stuff they've been doing this.

“Before we move on, you mentioned the border issue. And there's been these negotiations Biden and Senate Democrats have moved towards Republicans on this issue. They say they want to do something about the border. I thought they were close to a deal.”
