Right? 137 00:05:39,306 --> 00:05:41,875 Because they want the wall, but they also hate Joe Biden. 138 00:05:41,975 --> 00:05:44,845 You know? They're like, "Did you see what Biden is doing? 139 00:05:44,945 --> 00:05:46,713 "Uh, uh, he was-he was against the wall, 140 00:05:46,813 --> 00:05:48,815 "but now he's building it.

Right? 143 00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:55,756 Because Biden, he spent what, four years 144 00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:57,257 railing against the wall. He was like, 145 00:05:57,357 --> 00:06:01,061 "This wall is fascist, it is racist and it's un-American, 146 00:06:01,161 --> 00:06:03,030 "and now we're gonna have it patched up in no time, folks. 147 00:06:03,063 --> 00:06:06,099 "We're gonna fix up this wall. We're gonna fix it all up. 148 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,369 Now, okay, the reason, the reason the Biden administration 149 00:06:09,469 --> 00:06:11,939 gave for building Trump's wall in these sections of Arizona 150 00:06:12,039 --> 00:06:14,575 is because they're saying it's dangerous 151 00:06:14,675 --> 00:06:17,477 for migrants to cross the river there. Right? 152 00:06:17,578 --> 00:06:19,346 And so they want to put up a wall 153 00:06:19,446 --> 00:06:22,182 to stop the people from crossing. 154 00:06:22,282 --> 00:06:25,352 Which you have admit is a little weird 155 00:06:25,452 --> 00:06:27,588 because now they're saying 156 00:06:27,688 --> 00:06:31,225 that walls do stop people from crossing. 157 00:06:31,325 --> 00:06:33,360 Yeah. But they're only doing it here 158 00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:35,762 because they want to make it safer, right, 159 00:06:35,863 --> 00:06:37,264 because the river is super dangerous. 160 00:06:37,364 --> 00:06:39,166 So they don't want people to try to cross here. 161 00:06:39,266 --> 00:06:41,802 Other parts, I guess. 162 00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:44,371 Although if you really wanted to make crossing a river safer, 163 00:06:44,471 --> 00:06:46,740 then why wouldn't you just build a bridge 164 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:48,642 instead of adding a wall? 165 00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:52,846 None of it makes sense. None of it makes sense. 166 00:06:52,946 --> 00:06:56,717 You know why? You know why? 167 00:06:56,817 --> 00:06:59,887 'Cause it's bullshit, that's why. 168 00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:01,889 Yeah. This doesn't make sense. 169 00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:04,224 And, look, I can't say it for certain, but it seems like 170 00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:07,294 the only reason they're building a wall in these sections 171 00:07:07,394 --> 00:07:10,364 is because these sections could affect Democratic senator 172 00:07:10,464 --> 00:07:13,734 Mark Kelly, who's running for reelection in Arizona, 173 00:07:13,834 --> 00:07:16,303 and he's been pushing for these sections to be filled. 174 00:07:16,403 --> 00:07:17,838 Right? When you see it through that lens, 175 00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:21,041 it makes a lot more sense. Migrants sneaking into Arizona? 176 00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:22,276 Uh, that's whatever. 177 00:07:22,376 --> 00:07:23,443 But Republicans sneaking into the Senate-- 178 00:07:23,544 --> 00:07:26,146 you got to shut that shit down. 179 00:07:26,246 --> 00:07:28,282 And either way-- 180 00:07:28,382 --> 00:07:30,651 either way-- 181 00:07:30,751 --> 00:07:31,919 I hope this is one of those things 182 00:07:32,052 --> 00:07:34,087 that can bring America together. You know? 183 00:07:34,188 --> 00:07:36,456 This is one of those moments where people can unite, 184 00:07:36,557 --> 00:07:38,158 because when you think about it, Trump and Biden 185 00:07:38,258 --> 00:07:40,360 have more in common than we think. 186 00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,963 They both want the wall filled in, 187 00:07:43,063 --> 00:07:44,531 they both have shady sons, 188 00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:46,333 and they both have close companions 189 00:07:46,433 --> 00:07:50,070 who require annual rabies shots.
