platform that is watched or at least it was watched by the White House and other people. I don't know if anybody in the Biden administration is tuning in. I haven't heard that, so I don't know that they are. But I'll just put it out there. I'm not going to take any credit for anything. But I don't know. There are too many people who pushed harder to make China look like what they really are, an en…

And then of course how do you ignore the fact, as the comments are saying, that we have 11 million or however many — 25 million, you know, people who are undocumented in this country? That's a big thing now. Whether you call that a problem or not I think does depend on what media you're looking at. But in terms of illegal immigration, even if you thought it wasn't a problem so far, it's obviously something that would become a big problem if you handle it wrong. Obviously police support — as my critic pointed out, it's not as if the police have gone away. You know, the Republicans might be a little bit too concerned about police support relative to the actual news. But both illegal immigration and police support are about what might happen, right? If you open the borders it would be a disaster. If you did defund police, which there's a lot of chatter about, it would be a disaster. So these belong at the top of people's worry list even if you think it hasn't become a problem yet. You don't deal with the problem after it's a problem if you can get it early.
All right, I'm seeing reports — Hannity reported, et cetera — that three dozen House Democrats signed a letter to see if they can change the situation where the president has the sole power of the nuclear launch. And they don't want Biden to have the power to launch a nuclear attack by himself. In other words, be the only decision maker. Now what do you make of that? Is that Democrats who are saying, my God, even we don't trust Biden's mental capacity to launch a nuclear strike? That's one way to look at it. That's the way Republicans are looking at it.
Here's another way to look at it. And by the way they did not ask for this when Trump was president. So just think about this. Is the problem more of a problem than it was last year? It's not more of a problem than it was last year, having one person making the decision. Now the way they're presenting it is that the problem is having one person do it. They're not saying Biden is a problem. They're saying the problem is one person. But that was a problem last year too, right? Wasn't that the problem last year that it was one person? So you could certainly infer that maybe they're worried about their own president. The Democrats are. They don't say that. And I think that that would be unfair to assume that's the only reason.
And somebody in the comments pointed out the reason that one person gets to make the decision is because time matters. You might have 15 minutes to make a decision. You can't find your vice president and find your three other people or whatever to decide. But here's what I would like to toss into the mix. The military would not launch a nuclear attack even if the president ordered it if it didn't make sense. Does anybody disagree with that statement? Because it's not like Biden is talking to the person who pushes the button. Biden's going to talk to the top generals or top general and he's going to say I've decided this, go make it happe

n. He's not talking to the operator, right? Now you can say to yourself but the military general has to comply with an order from the commander-in-chief. So therefore it really is just Biden making the decision and other people just implementing it. Not in the real world. In the real world that general gets to decide, period. Does anybody disagree with that? The general gets to decide even though…
