What this episode covers

Ryan Wrecker: And welcome back. Happy to be with you. And as always, if you want to reach the show, we are live this morning on Friday, July 3rd, 7:06 a.m., if you want to text the Common Sense Retirement Planning text line: 800-905-0989. I say the time and date because a lot of times radio shows will be recorded. You know, it is the holiday, it's coming to a 4th of July. I just wanted to let you know that you are here with a real person right now. So, feel free to text us. A couple of text messages that came in. "Ryan, always enjoy when you fill in for 98.9 and on Coast to Coast. Plus, Richard Syrett is outstanding to interview all the best, Ryan." Thank you for that. I appreciate it. Yeah, I do Coast to Coast AM. That is probably the biggest show that I get to do twice or three times, sometimes four times a month. It just depends on the way the schedule plays out. But I don't have Coast to Coast this weekend. I do have a couple of Coast to Coast shows, one on July 12th and one on July 19th, Sunday night to Monday morning. And you can catch me right here on 98.9, which airs Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. You got the big deep-voice guy comes in and he makes that. And as soon as I hear, "Now, pinch-hitting special guest host, Ryan Wrecker," it's such a thrill. You have no idea how cool that sounds [laughs] when you hear it and you're just about to go on air and you hear that and you get all, ooh, the butterflies. Ooh, Coast to Coast, 600-and-some radio stations are listening to you right now. But that is, thank you for that text message. I'm glad that you listen to of course, The Tara Show and also here on Coast to Coast. Okay. A couple of things I want to get to. I saw that there was a story that was discussing some of the changes that are coming to the southern wall. And this is from the Associated Press. Now that after a massive infusion of cash from Congress, President Donald Trump's administration is swiftly building what it has dubbed a smart wall, a combination of a 30-foot steel fencing and a sophisticated technology like sensors, cameras, and towers, allowing Border Patrol to look over the territory. The wall is under heavy scrutiny for billions of dollars being dedicated to it when border crossings are at their lowest in decades. Isn't that amazing how that works out? You have enforcement of the southern border and you had a wall construction halted when Joe Biden got into office. And you had all of this wasted, you know, scrapped because they said, "Oh, we're not going to do it." And then you have massive influx of illegal immigration up until the last year of your presidency, 'cause you realize this looks really, really, really bad, the stuff that we're allowing into our country through this. You know, the the sex trafficking, the drug trafficking. And let alone, the influx of people that are going to come into the country and make it virtually impossible in some cases to try to remove as we enforce immigration law in the future. Joe Biden purposely made things worse. And then he realized things were looking bad, so he said, "Hey, I better pick up the phone and talk to the Mexican government and, you know, maybe if you can stop people from crossing the border and, you know, remove them and put them in prison camps deeper into Mexico, that would make me look good because, hey, I'll be able to run on the fact that I slowed down immigration at the border, and, you know, I'll be more friendly to you after I get back in office." This whole stuff that Joe Biden, this trick that no one fell for, let alone he wasn't even the candidate in the end of his own party [laughs] as a sitting president. And when Donald Trump got back in, he said, "All right, we're going to enforce immigration law. We're going to do what we can with what we have, even though Joe Biden did his best to try to dismantle it." And it was working because if you look at the statistics under Donald Trump's first year here in his second term, border ...
