00:00 "Joe Biden and the Democrats are terrified.
00:05 Terrified because they know they're going to be held accountable for the results in
00:08 this country and the damage done by illegal immigrants who are here.
00:12 And the Democrats know they're going to have to pay the price come November elections.
00:17 So let's start with what happened on Joe Biden's first day in office.
00:20 He signed his first of 94 executive actions throwing open the border.
00:26 And then Democrats, Republicans, Democrats in the House and the Senate aggressively rolled
00:33 back the rules that had worked in a previous administration to keep us safe, keep our borders
00:40 secure.
00:41 So today, every Democrat in the House and in the Senate is responsible for the drugs,
00:47 the death and the destruction that we're facing as a result of illegal immigrants.
00:52 Right now, these sanctuary cities become standoffs between exhausted police and so many illegal
01:01 immigrants.
01:02 And the illegal immigrants in Denver, a sanctuary city, don't even want to go into the free
01:08 housing areas that are set up for them, the shelters, unless a list of 13 different demands
01:15 are met.
01:16 You cannot make this up.
01:18 It's not just enough that they want free three meals a day.
01:21 No, they want them with culturally specific foods.
01:25 It's not enough for free doctors and free lawyers.
01:27 No, they want specific specialists.
01:30 So what's the Democrats going to do about this in Denver?
01:33 Oh, they have some plans.
01:34 They're going to have to pay for this.
01:37 So they're going to defund the police for the tune of $8.5 million.
01:41 Well, that's not enough.
01:43 What else are they going to do?
01:44 Well, they're going to defund the fire department for $2.5 million.
01:50 Additionally, last week in Florida, an 11-year-old girl kidnapped, sexually abused by a 20-year-old
01:58 illegal immigrant here because of Joe Biden's catch and release plan.
02:03 Republicans know what we need to do.
02:05 It's finish the wall.
02:07 It's stop this catch and release.
02:09 And it's bring back a policy that works called Remain in Mexico.
02:13 And for all those police officers who've lost their jobs doing the defunding of the police
02:18 in Denver, well, Wyoming has a solution.
02:21 Wyoming's advertising.
02:22 Here it is.
02:23 Work in Wyoming.
02:24 We're breaking the law.
02:25 It's still illegal.
02:27 And cops are funded.
02:29 This is a billboard in Denver for the place that has defunded the police.
