Republicans Strike An Awful Deal On Border Security

On the show today, we talk about the so-called “deal” Republicans and Democrats struck to fund the government and secure the southern border. It’s an awful deal that actually spends less money on a “barrier” than Republicans would have gotten had they done nothing. You can’t make this up. Plus, Governor Blackface in Virginia is instituting “sensitivity training” in the state government and schools in his attempt to make up for his racism. Also, an anti-Semitic Democratic member of Congress is sorry for being a bigot, but she’s really not. Beto O’Rourke thinks walls kill people, and a real life “Assman” is fighting to have his name on a vanity license plate.

Listen to the show:

As soon as President Donald Trump agreed to reopen the government it was inevitable — Democrats were going to win their fight to keep the southern border essentially open. Now, Congressional negotiators have struck a deal, and it’s worse than you could’ve imagined. Less money for the wall than if they’d done nothing, and a cut in the number of beds ICE can have to hold criminal illegal aliens. Yes, Democrats actively fought for the release of criminals who shouldn’t be in this country because they care more about non-citizens than they do citizens. We break it all down and impart the most important lesson — never have a Republican Member of Congress negotiate your salary, you’ll get screwed.

Virginia Gov. Ralph “Blackface” Northam is starting his “woke” tour of the state and wants to institute “sensitivity training” for state employees, students on college campuses, and even K-12 kids. None of them wore blackface, that was Ralph, but everyone must be punished because, he claims, his racism is an indication of a societal problem. No, it’s not. It’s him, he did it, not everyone else. Attempting to indoctrinate the whole state won’t change his past, but he’s hoping it will protect his future.

Speaking of bigots, Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is sorry, though not really. She “unequivocally” apologized for her anti-Semitic tweets, then proceeded to equivocate them. She’s so marinated in hatred of Jews that she can’t understand how anyone could be offended by her. Will Democrats hold her to any standard? Unlikely.

A Native American congresswoman is giving ethnic-fraud Elizabeth Warren a pass on cultural identity theft because she’s progressive. Congresswoman Deb Haalan of New Mexico said, “I would never tell anyone how they should identify themselves. Someone decides on their own.” Seriously, she said that. We have the audio. Somewhere Rachel Dolezal is crying herself to sleep.

Everyone’s favorite Irishman, Robert “Beto” O’Rourke, spoke Monday at an anti-wall rally in El Paso, Texas and pointed out something people must’ve missed for the last 5000 years — walls kill people. Not kidding, he said that. We have the audio and rightly mock him for it.

And a man with the last name “Assman” wants his name on a vanity plate for his car, but the government of province in Canada won’t let him get it. It’s a total pain in the ass.

All that and more on the show today.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
