Botching the Border

is dominating right now. It happens to have a lot to do with your state. There is no transparency whatsoever on this. You were having liberal reporters telling people that they had a greater access under Trump under Obama. Right now they are being shut out. What is going on at the border, Well, it's a crisis and it's not complicated. Call it that. We are saying the volume of the league crossings rising dramatically last month. In the month of February,

we had over one hundred thousand illegal immigrants detained. We are seeing, in particular crisis with children. We're seeing unaccompanied children, the numbers rising and rising and rising. We're seeing detention facilities that are overcrowded, that are packed, that are at at you know, hundred six seven hunder capacity, and it keeps getting worse. And there are several things to understand

about it. Number one, why it's happening. This is the direct result of a series of decisions the Biden administration is made. So Joe Biden gets selected to get sworn in on January twentieth. Within days he announces We're stopping construction of the wall. So border wall done. Within days, the Biden administration returns to catch and release. Now know

what is catching release? Catch and releases the policy. It was the policy during the Obama administration where when an illegal immigrant was caught, they'd be given a court date sometime in the future and let go and said, hey, come to court and lo and behold a whole bunch of them never show up. This is not complicated to figure out. One of the most significant things the Trump

administration was end catch and release. But the most important thing that the Biden administration did is they ended the remain in Mexico policy. Now, what is the remain in Mexico policy? It was one of the biggest foreign policy and immigration victories of the entire Trump administration and the Trump administration negotiated a deal with the government of Mexico. So the vast majority of the immigrants crossing illegally into this country are not Mexicans. They're Central Americans now who

are crossing through Mexico. So they're illegal immigrants in Mexico crossing Mexico southern border illegally to get to the United States. They're largely coming from Guatemala, El Salvador, a couple of other countries, Nicaragua, and countries that have a lot of violence, that have a lot of criminal activity, that have a lot of poverty, and so they're fleeing that in large numbers.

The remain in Mexico policy was an agreement with Mexico where where if these folks come and want to apply for asylum in the United States, they stay in Mexico while the case is proceeding. And what the Biden administration did is it took that really important international agreement and it essentially ripped it up, said nope, we don't want to remain in Mexico. We want them here and we

want to let them go. And that consequence, we are seeing massive numbers of illegal immigrants being released into the United States, and in turn, Look, if you're sitting at home in Guatemala and you're trying to decide whether to come when you see people being released, when you see people getting to stay, that's when you jump in a caravan and had North. There was a liberal journalist, Martha Radditts on a liberal network ABC, interviewed an illegal alien.

His face was covered because he's obviously committing a crime, and she said, would you have done this under Trump? He said, no way, I'm doing this because Biden said that basically I would not face any consequences. He said, the primary reason I'm flaeing is my country is no good and it's violent and I want to get out of there. But I would never have done this if not for the Biden administration. Well, what we're saying is really the mirror image of what we saw in late

twenty sixteen. In early twenty seventeen, when Trump was elected, we saw illegal crossings plummet by two thirds, and it plummeted by January and February of twenty seventeen. And at the time Trump had just been sworn in. To be honest, he hadn't done anything yet. I mean I mean he literally was just moving in. Yeah, and it is actually an astonishing thing. Think back to the presidential debates, the

race of twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen. If any Republican had said, if you elect me, the sheer act of electing me will drop illegal immigration by two thirds, you'd have been laughed out of the room, like every reporter would have laughed at you. Everyone said, that is absurd. So Trump, but January February twenty seventeen, hadn't hired new border patrol agents, he hadn't built a wall, he hadn't done anything. And the numbers plummeted. And the reason they plummeted is that

people believe Trump was going to enforce the law. And So, if you're making the decision, do I leave my country, do I pay thousands of dollars to a human traffic or do I engage in a life risking journey only to be apprehended and saying home, No, I think I'll just stay here. We're seeing the mirror image of that now right now, people making that same calculation are looking at Joe Biden saying, you know what, if I get there,

I get to stay. So Ali, Ali Oxen free. Let's go right right, because you know, this is a very basic matter. But when you incentivize certain behavior, you get more of it, and you disincentivize a certain behavior, you get you know, Michael, if you say things like that, you're going to identify yourself as a conservative, and they're going to require you to wear like a patch or something. Liberals don't understand incentives. It's one of the most fundamental

divides between left and right. It is the concept of incentives. So let's take kids and kids in cages. Remember, for four years we heard the press harping on kids and cages, kids and cages, kids and cages under Trump. Well, the cages were built by Barack Obama. To quote the former president who built the cages, Joe right, that a lot of these photos that had gone viral, they were from the Obama Obama administration. And here's why. So if you go back to what broke the system was was DACA,

which now the press loves and the Democrats love. It was President Obama's illegal executive amnesty and what had happened there. If you go back and remember, and this feels like a long time ago, this is twenty twelve, but if you remember, Mamma had been asked over and over and over again by immigration activists, will you just declare amnesty? Use an executive order to declare amnesty? And Obama said repeatedly, I can't do that. It's against the law. He said,

I'm not a king. I'm not an emperor. That's how Obama put it. I'm not a king, I'm not an emperor. And then one day he woke up and he was an emperor, and he issued a lawless order directed his administration never mind federal immigration law. We're not going to follow it anymore. If you came to this country as a kid, we're going to grant you amnesty. Now. The year before he did that, there were roughly six thousand unaccompanied miners came into this country. Six thousand significant number.

The next year, you know how many there were more. I'm going to guess ninety three thousand. Wow. I didn't realize it was that high. And it goes back to what you just said incentives, which is kids and parents realized, Okay, the president just announced if you came as a kid, you get to stay. What's going to happen. Well, let's send a whole bunch of kids, and actually the Obama Department Homeland Security, they interviewed a number of these kids.

They ask them, why are you coming? And the kids said, because I get a bettermisso, which is if I come, I get to stay. Fast forward to today, we're seeing the exact same thing you're you're seeing the Obama administration, or rather than the Biden administration. Right, tomato tomato. Now it's worse. It's tomato versus like massive bright red tomato paste.

Like I it's all the bad ideas like because and they don't understand incentives, or perhaps they do understand incentives, but actually they desire this sort of behavior because they think it gives an advantage. You know. It reminds me of years ago. I was reading a newspaper article and I think it was a city council member in San Francisco who said, I don't understand we have the most generous almost benefits in the country and we keep getting

more and more homeless people. It's so strange. Remember reading it, going, yeah, you're right, you don't understand, Like if you pay people to do something, they'll do it, right, And we're saying this with it with these kids but you know, to play devil's advocate a little bit, to give the devils

their due in the Biden administration. Jensaki said something the other day that I was sort of exasperated when she said it, because they said, Okay, you're you said you wouldn't put the kids in cages, and you're putting the kids in cages, and you're letting some of them go, but you're you have to separate them because you've got to verify that the adults that they're with actually are their relatives. And the things you're doing, it's basically just

what the Trump administration did. Accept it, it it would seem to be to a much greater degree. And she said, well, there just aren't a lot of options. I said, well, where was that kind of understanding when Resident Trump was doing that? And I guess though, I would want to take her question seriously, what are you going to do when there aren't a lot of options? So, look, there are some Democrats. I think there are a lot of Democrats across the country who want to genuinely be compassionate,

and I understand that that's the right instinct. I mean, it's not a little kid's fault, and so you know, Jen Saki has also said, you know, we're just we're not going to lock up kids now, never mind that they are locking up kids to a much greater degree,

to a massive degree. It comes down to incentives. Look, during the Obama administration, I remember traveling down to Texas and a lot of you know, of our two thousand mile border that we have been with Mexico, twelve hundred of those miles are along the border of the state of Texas, so we've got more than half the borders in Texas. And I remember visiting going to Lackland Air Force Base outside of San Antonio, where they were housing they had built facilities, built the early cages four kids.

This is the Obama administration. I was there visiting, and I remember I was talking to an official from the Health and Human Services Department, And mind you, this is the Obama administration, so it's the Obama HHS. And this official described to me how the cartels were putting guns to the heads of little kids and forcing children to cut off the fingers or the ears of other kids. And what would happen is a family in Nicaragua, Honduras or El Salvador would give three four or five thousand

dollars to a human trafficker. These human traffickers are not nice people. They're not they don't love children. They are vicious, horrific criminal cartels. And what they would do once the family given three four five thousand dollars to the cartel, to the trafficker, they would then deliver to the family their child's finger or ear and say give us another three thousand dollars, and they would extract more money from

the parents. And so the Obama HHS official told me that they were getting number one, kids that were horribly deformed, had fingers cut off or ears cut off, and they were getting other kids who were psychologically traumatized because they had a gun put to their forehead. It wasn't even the traffickers that were cutting off the fingers and ears,

it was the other kids. And my view that the Democrats say we need to grant amnesty, we need to let kids come because we're compassionate, I'm sorry if you're creating a system that is incentivizing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and the Biden Department of Homeland Security is projecting over one hundred thousand kids coming in the country on a company little boys, little girls. If you're putting little boys and little girls in the hands

of human traffickers, you're not compassionate, You're not humane. You are a monster. And every one of those kids that is sexually assaulted, and I remember, you know, I think it's horrific. Huffington Posts some years ago with Fusion, published a survey. I believe that the number was between sixty and eighty percent of women and girls who cross the border illegally were raped or sexually assaulted along the way. It is. It's staggering, and it's not humane or compassionate.

And I will say I get frustrated with Democrats who virtue signal about how much they love immigrants that they support a policy that involves a bunch of immigrant children being physically and sexually abused. It is grotesque. And the real compassionate policy is what we have had, which is to say we're going to enforce the law, we're not going to do catch and release, and if you come here illegally, we're going to send you home. And the reason that is compassionate is you don't end up with

kids being handed over to traffickers. Those numbers dropped dramatically, and we're seeing that, and it seems like Biden the Democrats don't understand because there is an effect. There's the question of the justice in and of itself of saying people has a right to have its own borders. Yeah, but then there is this secondary effect, which is you're

going to see those numbers plummet. You know, obviously in six thousand to ninety three thousand, we're not talking a small effect, right, I mean, we're talking orders of magnitude. And so I'll tell you on Friday of this week, I'm going down to the border and I'm bringing a number of senators. Right now, the current numbers seventeen senators are coming down. So I invited I invited John Cornyon, my colleague from Texas. I invited the other Republican senators.

We've got a total of seventeen senators coming down. We're gonna go and tour the facilities where they're detaining the kids. We're gonna tour, We're gonna meet with the Border Patrol. We're gonna meet with the Border Patrol Union. I know those guys very very well. We're gonna go out on a boat with Texas STPs on the Rio Grand And

let me tell you something amazing. The Biden administration has refused to allow any reporters to attend, which was this was not true during the Trump administration, or you got all that flat from the press. The press had bet much better access under the Trump administrator. Trump adminis the press had access to all these facilities. Obama administration the press had access. Look, the Biden administration is already worse

than the Obama administration on this front. You know the picture of kids in cages that for four years was blamed on Trump, that was actually a picture taken during the Obama administration. It's because they actually, you know, Biden promised to have the most transparent administration ever. We sent a letter and here's the ridiculous justification the Biden administration is doing. They say, well, we'd love to have reporters there,

but we can't because of COVID. Oh so you've got facilities with hundreds of illegal immigrants packed into them at many hundreds of percent greater than their capacity. You've got kids almost stacked upon each other, and their view is there's no risk of COVID there. But one reporter, if you are So ABC News wants to embed with us, wants to come and we invited an ABC News offered

to bring a TV camera and be a pool camera. No, what is a camera pull camera is what they call a TV camera that will share its footage with all the other networks. So they could literally have one reporter and one cameraman. Yeah, no, that would be a risk, and there is a risk for COVID. And it's such an obvious lie. You know Alejandro Mayorchis, who's the Secretary of Homeland Security, he went on the Sunday shows this weekend and he repeated the obvious lie. Well, it's just

because of COVID, we intend to do it. And look, some of the press is getting agitated. So this week I have been a vigorous defender of the press, which is an odd position for me today. This is very strange. I'm biting my tongue on all the great jokes I could make about the press right now because I actually do sort of defend them against the Biden administration. So

I actually believe in a free press. I believe in the Fresh Amendment and what the Biden if Trump had done with the Biden administration had done, the press would be lighting themselves on fire. Yeah, of course. Instead they're just shilling for and defend ending at the Trump administration. Let me get the most absurd part about all of this. So they're releasing thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants into my home state of Texas. They're setting up detention facilities

downtown Dallas, the Convention Center. They're detaining illegal immigrants Middland, Texas. They're detaining illegal immigrants, much against the wishes of the community, they're releasing them. Here's an amazing stat in Harlingen, Texas. The illegal immigrants they're releasing are testing positive for COVID nineteen at a seven times greater rate than the US population.

I also did not realize it was that severe. All I noticed was that the administration is now admitting that it is releasing people into the United States who have not been illegal aliens, who have not been tested for COVID. And you saw the DHS secretary was sort of backed into a corner on this and he said, well, it is the official policy to test, is right, but are

you doing that? Well, we are doing our best, and it's an admission, it's all but an admission that they are releasing people in the midst of this pandemic where we're not allowed to leave our homes, and they're releasing in Texas, my home state, right and the communities in Texas are not happy about that. And it's one of the things that is frustrating about watching the Biden administration

is the absolute hypocrisy on COVID. So they're perfectly willing to release illegal immigrants who may be criminals into Texas, into the United States, even if they may have COVID nineteen, and not test them. But yet they won't allow a single reporter with a camera to see anything on the border because that reporter might have COVID. And you know what, I'm willing to bet even if that reporter tested negative that day and had been vaccinated. Yeah, they still say no,

it's not the COVID risk that they're worried about. It is the risk we don't want anyone to see the Biden cages. I have to ask you this, with regard to being able to go out and do things once we're vaccinated, His Royal Highness, Doctor Anthony Faucci has come out and suggested that sure we all get vaccinated, we're still going to have to wear the masks socially distanced, not gather. Maybe we can have a few friends over

for the fourth of July. Senator, We're now on day what three hundred and seventy two of fifteen days to slow the spread? When can we return to normal? Come to Texas? You can do it right now. Look, Look, it is assinine and insane. So I've been vaccinated. Members of Congress were offered the vaccine early in January. I actually didn't take it. Then there were number of members of Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, who got the vaccine

early and ostentatiously. I didn't. I didn't think it was right. Look, I'm relatively young, I'm healthy. I didn't want to cut in line. Yea. And so my view at the time, as I said, we need to wait and let seniors, let frontline workers get the vaccine first, and I don't want to hurry. Ultimately, in the last couple of weeks, I went ahead and got the vaccine. It had been you know, there'd been tens of millions of vaccines administered, many of the seniors, many of the frontline workers had

gotten it. And you know, I mean, I do have My mom is eighty six. My dad my dad actually turned eighty two today. And so given my parents, I said, I'm given that. I'm out a lot. As a senator, I went ahead and got the vaccine in the Senate. I think it's the case that all one hundred senators have the vaccine. Now I think Rand Pall may may not have gotten it, although Rand had COVID so so

he's got the natural immunity from having had it. CDC's guidance today is that people who are vaccinated can gather in small groups. The most ascinining thing is senators still gather all wearing masks, and it's just like, okay, wait, this may be the safest place on the planet. Like every person you're all vaccinated. But it's a virtue signal. And you get Democrats that are wearing two masks and it's coming three four five, They're just gonna walk around

with bags on their head. I mean, and it is. And I'm not one of the Like there are people who are crazies who say it's all a hoax, it doesn't make any sense, do nothing. It's going to give you five g which frankly I could use the better cell service. If I became a hotspot, that'd be perfectly fine. This is Look, this is serious disease. We've had over half million Americans killed, We've had over forty seven thousand Texans killed. I think we need to treat it seriously.

But we have for God's sakes, has there been an infectious disease certainly not in our lifetime that we've treated this seriously and it has become this this irrational zellatry and a means of control. I gotta say, if you've had the vaccine, the idea that you must wear a mask forever is idiotic. The whole point of getting the vaccine is to go back to normal. Well, this gets back to incentives. If you're if you're going to say, all right, we want you all three hundred plus million Americans,

you need to all get the vaccine. But also, nothing about your life can change once you get the vaccine. It doesn't make any sense. And look, I think a lot of people. There are people on the extremes. There are people that are like, shut down everything and they're

terrified to breathe. There are people who are like doesn't matter, licking door knobs and things like that door knobs are delicious, but most people are somewhere in the middle of like, take reasonable precautions, but let's not be nuts about it. If you look at how this is, this is playing out. Those who want government control don't want to let go of it. And I think a lot of people recognize

there's an irrationality to so, for example, restaurants. You know, when Houston opened up, Heidi and I began going out to eat at restaurants. So we tried to do it preregularly because we want to support the small businesses in our community. And the rules you're walking along you got to wear a mask. And I guess the virus is somehow connected to the tension in your thigh muscles. Because under the rules in a restaurant, if you and I stood up, yes, then you have to put on a mask.

You're dangerous then, But as soon as we sit down and take off the mask, and we can be here for three hours, sitting right here, and there's no risk of the it gets absorbed into your hamstrings. What happens it's I think it's because your your thighs are no longer tense, or maybe it's an altitude thing at three feet the virus can't transmit, but at six feet it can't thinner up there are you? Like most people realize, come on, this is crap. Of course, I mean it airplane.

So you know, I flew from Houston to DC today, So on the airplane, I gotta get on the plane. I'm on the plane. I'm wearing my mask. I gotta wear my mask. I'm sitting next to someone. They're wearing their mask. But there's the drink exception. So you got in trouble for the drink exception. Oh my, they went nuts. So when I drink my coffee, now I hang my mask from my ear, so it's like visibly there. But but I want you to think of the logic of this. If I'm sitting there, I've got to get the mask

because it's going to kill people. Yeah, but if I have a cup of coffee in my hand, the coffee absorbs it. The virus. I think it's and it works for a coke. It wears for orange juice, water, it's liquid. The virus doesn't like liquid or food, yes, liquid or solid. It only likes like At some point, everyone's going this doesn't make any sense. Oh, it's an obviously arbitrary exercise

in power. And it does actually get to something that I guess relates, but it gets to this abuse of power more broadly, though I have to ask you about it's from the mail bag question from Prudence who asks if HR one passes, So HR one you've referred to it as the Corrupt Politicians Act. Yeah, if HR one passes, is there any legal case to fight back against it? So not not a political case to defeat it before it passes. But let's say God forbid it happens. Can

you fight it in court? Of course, And if the crup Politicians Act passes, there will be lots of legal cases challenging it. But I gotta say, if it passes, we're going to lose all those cases. And tell me that I don't really end on a high note. Don't don't count on the courts to save us. And here's why. Yeah, if the Corrupt Politicians Act passes, it will pass because the Democrats have ended the filibuster. The filibuster is the

rule that requires sixty votes to pass legislation. If they've ended it and dropped it to fifty votes, that's the only way they'll pass the Corrupt Politicians Act designed to keep Democrats in power for the next hundred years. If that happens, they will then add two new states to the Union. They'll add the District Columbia, the lad Puerto Rico. That's because Democrats believe they will elect four Democratic senators. DC clearly will Puerto Rico might or might not. Republicans.

We'd fight for Puerto Rico and try to win. But if Democrats are right that that elects four new Democratic Senators, they will then pack the United States Supreme Court. They will add four left wing judicial activists the Supreme Court, take it from nine justices to thirteen. If that happens, the odds are one hundred point zero zero zero percent that the packed left wing Supreme Court will uphold the Corrupt Politicians Act, because the Democrats will only appoint left

wing activists who will uphold the Corrupt Politicians Act. So the key them now that you've taken away that hope that we might be able to fight in court. But I think rightly so if you have to fight it before it's past, then that requires keeping the filibuster, and that requires winning over one of the moderate semi moderate Democrats. So where we stand right now in the Senate, they're

fifty Republicans and fifty Democrats, so it's evenly divided. That means that any tie vote, the Vice President Kamala Harris breaks the time of the fifty Democrats. If all of them vote together, they can end the filibuster. They can do what it's called the nuclear option. Now what does that mean. Look, the filibuster has written into the rules of the Senate that it takes sixty votes to go forward.

But the way you exercise the nuclear option is the majority leader, Chuck Schumer moves to proceed to a bill. You have a vote. The vote is fifty fifty Vice President votes yes, and the presiding Officer rules that fifty one votes not being sixty, you can't proceed to it. And in the Senate rules, any senator can appeal the ruling of the chair. So what would happen is Chuck Schumer would appeal the ruling of the chair and would say, the chair just ruled that we need sixty votes to

proceed to this. I appeal the ruling of the chair, and if all fifty Democrats vote in favor of the appeal, and if the Vice President votes in favor of the appeal. That's fifty one votes. You can appeal the ruling of the chair with fifty one votes, and under the Senate, that becomes a precedent. So it breaks the rules of the Senate that are written. Because you have fifty one votes to appeal the ruling of the chair, that becomes

the new precedent. That it no longer takes sixty even though that's what's written in the rules, it takes fifty one. Of the fifty Democrats, only two have suggested that they wouldn't end the filibuster. The Tube suggested it, or Joe Mansion, he's a Democrat from West Virginia, and Kirsten Cinema, who is a Democrat from Arizona Bright. Now both of them are making lots of noise like we're going to stand up and not end the filibuster. I gotta admit I

am very skeptical. YEA, let's take Joe Mansion. So Joe, who's the governor of West Virginia, has been Senator. Joe is a very nice, affable, likable guy who's a college football quarterback, just like me and you football quarterback. You know, we were the geeks in the Debate Club. He was the star quarterback, exactly the same. Everybody likes Joe. You can't not like Joe. He just has a personality that is easy and affable. When I first got elected to

the Senate, I remember Jim Demant told me. He said, Ted, Joe Mansion is like a purple unicorn. He will always, always, always be there for you until you need him. I can tell you nine years in the Senate, I do not know of a single issue of consequence on which Joe Mansion was the deciding vote. So basically, what Joe has done is if Republicans going to win, if we had fifty one votes, he might give you a fifty seconds. So he might make it bipartisan, but he's not going

to be that. He has never on any issue that matters in the nine years I've served with it, I've never seen him willing to stand up to Chuck Schumer. What about cinema? She hadn't been there that long. She's only been there a couple of years. I like her, She's very nice. I haven't seen her stand up to Schumer. Now, who knows. She hadn't been there long enough that we don't have as long a track history with her. But I don't know what Schumer has the degree to which

Democrats are terrified to cross him. And so here's my concern is that Cinema caves and Mansion finds a cute game to pretend he didn't cave. It seems like he's already setting that up. So he's talking about the talking filibuster. Now, the talking filibuster is to say, well, any senator can speak as long as they want, but at the end of the talking filibuster, we're going to vote. And insisting on the talking filibuster is away to break the filibuster.

By the way, if they insist on a talking filibuster, I'm gonna spend some time talking. You have a little bit of a track record on it. I have I think the fourth longest in history, twenty one hours. Could we do verdict from the Senate floor. They won't let us do that. But you know, last time I read Green Eggs and Ham, I will tell you a friend of a very dear friend of mine suggested said, if the Democrats forced the talking filibuster, Republicans should stand up

and read the Bible from cover to cover. I think many on the other side of the alt would go screaming out of the room. It actually is a great way to clear democrats off the floor. But look, we'll see what happens. But insisting on the talking filibuster is frankly a game to say I haven't ended the filibuster.

But at the end, when eventually you collapse and can talk no longer, then you vote in it's fifty and you pass the Corrupt Politicians Act, and you pack the Supreme Court, and you do lasting structural damage to the country. You know that. It would seem to me you have seen a lot of these things coming, and we've talked about it on the show. You can go back and see the tape, and a lot of them have really come to pass, and they seem closer to passing right now.

We're focused on that crisis on the border. Seems to me there is a crisis just as serious, maybe much more serious, with the Corrupt Politicians Act, with with other other legislation they're trying to force through. By the way, Michael, is there a way for people to subscribe or like this show? Oh that you're talking about this well as speaking of crises that we're facing in the private sector, here.

We're certainly going to be booted off of all the platforms at a certain point, but in the meantime it's actually a wonderful recommendation. You can subscribe at Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, YouTube, any and every social platform that will still have us to Verdict. We also really appreciate it when you leave a five star review they give six. You can try it will not be successful, but you don't turn it into one because you think that's like

five plus. No, no, you've got it. I would say, just to be safe, maybe go with the five. And thank you to everybody who has been listening, and you know we're we're going to keep up bringing this to you, even I I hate to admit that they didn't know all of this going in. And by the way, we had a big announcement last show, Oh are you referring to what happens once they do boodh us off of these social platforms. We will be taking Verdict on the road.

We will be doing a wonderful partnership with the Young America's Foundation, now being run by Governor Scott Walker. We will be coming to six campuses around the country. But we have not yet decided which campuses we will be going to. So we already did one event in Miami that was a ton of fun. We have six live events that are going to be going on over the next year.
