Full Episode
Well, folks, tonight, Daily Wire backstage returns live for President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress. We are covering it all like never before with Matt Walsh and me. Live from D.C., do not miss the exclusive pre-show at 8.30 p.m. Eastern, followed by the full address completely uninterrupted. And when he's done, we're back with a breakdown of what it all means.
Watch with us tonight, 8.30 p.m. Eastern time on Daily Wire Plus. Speaking of which... The president of the United States tonight will be speaking to a joint session of Congress. It's not technically a State of the Union address, but it is, in fact, a State of the Union address. It's just that in your first year, you don't really do that.
In any case, President Trump is going to be saying a lot of things according to his truth social quote, all caps, tomorrow night will be big. I will tell it like it is. Well, I mean, I think we're pretty used to that. So it'll be interesting to see what exactly that encompasses. But there is a lot happening. Most of it good. Some of it dicey, a lot of it risky.
I think we are all invested in the success of the Trump administration. We should be. As Americans, we should be invested in President Trump being a wild success in the economy going up and to the right, in immigration going down, illegal immigration going down, in world security getting stronger.
We should be invested in all of these things because, after all, we are all invested in a better America for everyone. And again, on many of these things, President Trump's... Mere presence in the White House has changed things radically, most obviously with regard to illegal immigration. So this was Trump's raison d'etre. This is the reason he entered politics in the first place in 2015, 2016.
It is now a decade later, and President Trump is doing the thing that Democrats said was impossible. They said without a giant piece of legislation from Congress, there was in fact no way to bring down the rates of illegal immigration. And then it turns out all it took was a president who says he's going to deport illegal immigrants and the rates of illegal immigration drop effectively to zero.
According to Breitbart.com, a social media post by the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Michael Banks, shows February apprehensions to be a record low for the agency. Banks' post reveals the startling impact of the Trump presidency on illegal migration to the United States in the 42 days since assuming office. Banks posted, quote, February proves our combined efforts in securing the border work.
U.S. Border Patrol apprehended 8,326 illegal aliens at the U.S.-Mexico border, making it the lowest month in recorded history. That's an insanely... Low number. Insanely low. Remember that there were months during the Biden administration where in excess of 200,000 illegal immigrants were crossing the border every single month.
There were days that were like 8,000, 10,000 illegal immigrants arriving at the border. That is a drop of 94%. 94%. from the 140,000 encountered just one year ago. Even since December, that is a drop of 82%. And there's only one reason for that, and that is the presence of President Trump in the White House, Tom Homan, as his borders are.
