The problem is that we can't because we need bipartisan legislation to do it. And Trump blocked it in order to get a political advantage in the election. Trump didn't have bipartisan legislation on the border, and yet he single-handedly got the border closed exactly the way that Republicans were saying Joe Biden could have done with the stroke of a pen had he really wanted to.

Look at how often the things that they're saying vehemently and loudly and in their media end up being disproven, and then Ruben Gallego is like, okay, I guess he accomplished this little trivial thing where he closed the border. Let's move on now to some other debate where we can focus on moving forward.

You know, I know a lot of people who I think have a, like a good faith belief that trans kids or whatever should be able to participate in the sports of the gender that I identify, whatever. I'm not one of them, but I know there are people who, who, who do believe that obviously there are.

But right now it's an impossible issue. And everybody knows that the Democrats keep giving Trump this huge gift where he gets to be like the hero who rides in and protects girls sports in a way that most Americans agree with.
