This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Theyre fund this morning,
Todd of course we will be
checking in with PETE throughout
the morning.
Another big story. We are
following right now, with less
than ninety days until the election
former vice president, Joe Biden
is highlighting some of the
policies he would put in place
if he wins, including this on
illegal immigrants
here to discuss trump. Two thousand and twenty
campaign senior strategy Advisor
Steve, Cortes
Steve thanks so much for being
here,
I mean
good morning
Todd Good morning to you.
Taking a step back and saying, we
have a pretty compromised
economy right now.
Obviously, yesterdays job
numbers were somewhat positive.
You would be naive if you said
we are doing really great right
now when it comes to our
economic situation in this
country.
What happens to an already
compromised economy? If bidens
immigration policies become law
right,
look
its a terrific points you make.
There are reasons for optimism.
There are a lot of green chutes
out there right now in our
economy.
All of us know we have a lot of
hard work ahead to get back to
the heights of the Trump boom
that we enjoyed just earlier.
This year
we have an economic crisis in
America because we have a health
crisis in America.
None of this is our fault.
It was all caused by the
communist Chinese. Deception
crashed the world economy.
The last thing we need in the
United States is continue to
variety in a lot of illegal
workers who will unfairly
compete in the wage market
against Americans who are trying
and yearning to get back to
work.
On top of that, Joe Biden
promises taxpayer funded
healthcare for illegals,
he calls them undocumented
by the way I hate. That phrase
makes it sound as though some
paperwork is out of order.
They are illegal. My granting in
this country
they trespassed on our land and
do not belong here. In the first
place,
the idea in the health crisis we
would offer american Healthcare
and american science to treat at
taxpayer expense. People who
dont belong here in the first
place is simply lunancy, and it
is representative,
unfortunately, of what has
happened to Joe Biden.
Is he an empty vessel who he
hobby commandeered by the most
fringe, left wing elements of
american policies,
they believe in open borders,
even though they wont use that
phrase?
This kind of policy is de facto
open borders,
its wrong for our economic and
national security.
Griff Steve you talk about
open borders.
We are seeing a surge on our
southern border,
the numbers around the anywhere
where near they were
listen, its getting bad again,
primarily because of Covid in
Mexico and Central America
Biden had this to say about the
border wall. If he is elected,
listen
there will not be another
foot of wall constructed on my
administration
im, going to make sure that we
have border protection, but its
going to be based on making sure
that we use high tech capacity
to deal with it
and at the ports of entry.
Griff Steve. Is that going to
be an issue
absolutely its an issue?
Look. This is outrageous,
its important griff that we
talk about. We lock our doors at
night on our home, not because we
hate those on the outside, but
because we love those on the
inside and we want to protect
them.
The same is true for our
country,
Americas front door, as it were
had been left open for years.
We are now closing it.
Hundreds of miles of wall has
been built.
Hundreds of miles more will be
built this year
for Joe Biden to say that he is
going to stop that number one,
its an affront to the brave
people of customs and border
protection and border patrol
many of them hispanic Americans.
By the way who do the hard work
of protecting our country,
they tell us that they need the
wall
that its an important tool for
them
number two. I think this is
crucial.
Lets just be honest about where
Joe Biden and his radical
friends are led.
They want illegal immigrants to
come to this country because
they promise them citizenship,
because once theyre citizens,
they believe they have tens of
millions of new voters and they
will change this country
permanently. That is the real
goal
and I think America needs to be
aware of that. Just how high the
stakes are. Once you promise
citizenship to illegals, you are
talking about a permanent
political transformation of
America and thats, where the
Democrats are headed
Emily now Steve. We understand
you have a new op ed out on why
Bidens Numbers New England,
Hispanics are tanking,
explain to us and the viewers
why that is
sure. So I published this
article at the national pulse
and point out to the latest
Quinnipiac poll, Joe Biden, is
only polling. Forty five percent
thats twenty percentage points
worse than Hillary Clinton did
in twenty sixteen.
That was already a very
disappointing performance for
the Democrats.
I really think there is two
reasons I name in the article
small business and religious
faith
on the issue of small business.
We Hispanics are statistically
the most entrepreneurial
demographic in America by quite
a long shot actually
and before this country was hit
by the chinese virus. Hispanic
entrepreneurs, all entrepreneurs,
but particularly hispanic ones,
were thriving in this country.
Under the policies of our
entrepreneur and chief president
Trump,
he produced the trump boom that
we enjoyed for the first three
years of his administration,
and he will compel the Trump
boom two.
I think hispanic start up. People
know that. Secondly, on religious
faith,
we Hispanics are a conservative
people, culturally politically
religiously.
According to a recent Pugh poll,
we are seventeen percent more pro life than
other Americans.
Joe Biden has now embraced the
really just treasury of abortion
all the way. Until the day of
birth,
he has promised to again
target the little sisters of the
poor.
He denies working class hispanic
families who want to send their
children to religious schools
that option via education
choice
on all of these issues.
I believe that hispanic people
are rejecting, quite rightly, the
Biden, Vision,
Griff, Steve Cortes Trump, two thousand and twenty.
