00:00You were obviously selected by Vice President Harris to be a running mate in 2024.
00:06I'm curious, did you ever ask Vice President Harris about former President Biden's and then President Biden's cognitive decline?
00:18No, not that I can recall, Mr. Chairman.
00:21You saw President Biden's asterisk debate performance.
00:24I'm just curious, you never did comment to Vice President Harris like, wow, you know, he may not be on the top of his game.
00:33Nothing was ever mentioned to Vice President Harris.
00:36And the reason I ask, obviously, is because I know you watch CNN and other networks have interviewed a lot of people,
00:45including Jean-Pierre and Buttigieg and others that have suggested that they were shielded from President Biden
00:53and weren't allowed to speak to him and that, you know, his mental decline was obvious.
00:59You never discussed that with Vice President Harris?
01:02No, not that I can recall, Chairman.
01:04And as governor and then being on the ticket, I was probably more concerned with my own debate performance than President Biden's.
01:11So, no.
01:13Let me ask you this, Governor.
01:15Do you believe that the Biden-Harris administration secured the border?
01:19You mentioned it's the federal government's role to secure the border to protect Americans from illegals entering the country, I guess.
01:28Do you think they did a good job of that?
01:30I think the border has been broken for a very long time through many administrations.
01:34It's one of the reasons why Vice President Harris was advocating so strongly for the bipartisan bill.
01:39Did she mention her role as the border czar, any, when you all were out campaigning?
01:46Not that I can recall, other than that we talked about the need to pass the bipartisan border legislation
01:51that would have done many of the things that, as a governor, I know, would have made our jobs easier.
01:56But, President Trump secured the border without any legislation.
01:59I mean, that was kind of a myth that was in the media and a Democrat talking point,
02:03that we needed legislation to secure the border.
02:05The border's secure.
02:06Everything's fixed.
02:07That's step one.
02:08Step two is to deport the criminal illegals, and that's where we're facing obstruction in your all states.
02:13So, I'm sure there are a lot more questions that will pertain to that.
02:16My time's expired.
02:17I now recognize Reckon Member Lynch for his questions.
02:20Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
02:21Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
