On Washington DC’s WMAL, The Larry O’Connor Show

March 10, 2021 by Todd Bensman

Here’s the March 10 Show

Bensman excerpts:

“The main issue with national security is that, when you have opened your borders by removing most of the obstruction and then eliminate the possibility of deportation once you’re in, that’s the meat and potatoes of open borders, right? So the information of that spreads very rapidly throughout the galaxy of aspiring migrants. I’ve never met a migrant who didn’t have a cell phone that was connected to all sorts of social media platforms. So it’s very live-time intelligence. What that means is that migrants from all over the world are heading here right now, out of South America from places like Pakistan and Somalia and Yemen, countries of the Middle East and places where terrorist organizations are active and places where terrorism ideologies are prevalent. There are thousands of those people on their way to the border right now. What happens is they show up very often without even identification, say my name is Mickey Mouse and they just come in with everyone else, without being vetted. That is a national security problem right there.”

Regarding those hurricanes:

“What’s happening has nothing at all to do with hurricanes, okay. If they say hurricanes, they’re lying. This is not about hurricanes. The hurricanes were devastating that they had down there but hurricanes have always been part of the landscape and life in Central America. They get them pretty often, kind of like Houston. The issue there is that you have very, very strong push factors that are always in place. It’s just like gravity. You simply have gravity, where people who live in poor countries want to live in rich countries. It’s that fundamental. But it’s not event-specific. It’s never event-specific. But I think for political reasons, Democrats right now, and especially the liberal press corps, likes to talk only about these hurricanes that happened months and months ago… They started hearing the messaging in April, May, and June and were thinking ‘man, Biden’s going to win, 50-50 chance’ that he was going to win, and they started making decisions on that.”
