3:14 pm
the nation continue to sustain those numbers? >> you cannot continue this. what you are going to see if title 42 is lifted, 18000 people a day coming across that border. when i heard that number i was taken aback so i looked up the number in tennessee, 345, 90% of those cities have 18000 or fewer residents in the city. it's the equivalent of the population of a tennessee town coming across the border. your viewers, the population of different towns and cities in their state and get an idea of the magnitude that this is. as i said, they are forced to the cartel, the cartel are making money hand over fist and the american taxpayer is footing
3:15 pm
the bill, the open border is responsible in large part for the drug and crime problem we are seeing in our communities and of course this is something that's costing our local sheriffs and police departments extraordinary amounts of money to deal with this. jon: it's also going to cost of those on the lower end of the wage scale because all of these new arrivals will look for jobs, willing to work illegally, willing to work for less money than many americans are in fact one of the problems the border presents. the biden administration says things are rosy, the president himself said this regarding the economy. listen to what the president said about americans feeling financially comfortable. >> families are carrying less debt, average savings are of, recent survey from the federal reserve found more americans feel financially comfortable in
3:16 pm
any time since it began in.

3:26 pm
under a time crunch. >> i think the january 6 committee and democrats no the clock is ticking against them, one reason i think they are trying to move so quickly because if navarro is prosecuted for defying subpoena and the committee that issued the subpoena evaporates or dissolves the republicans can, i don't see how you continue to persecute the case. >> the second official, contempt steve bennet also fuses to commit. jon: alexandria hoff, thank you. if the justice department said yesterday it will not charge former trump officials mark meadows and dan with contempt of congress. generally six committee leaders call that decision puzzling and asking for more clarity from the d.o.j. this comes as the committee plans to hold its first public hearings on the insurrection in primetime starting next thursday. massive concert tonight,
