The Clay & Buck show opened with the invasion about to kick it up a notch at the southern border, with the word going out to the cartels and human smugglers about Title 42’s expiration.

But naturally, leftist “journalists” are finding a way to say it’s not a crisis and blame — naturally — Republicans!

Meanwhile, President Biden refuses to go to the border — and when asked why, the answer is that while he has the best taxpayer-funded travel service in the world and goes to every corner of it, he would be “disruptive” in, say, El Paso, Texas, or Arizona.

“I can't speak to why he has or has not gone," senior White House adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms said on Sunday when asked why President Biden hasn't visited the southern border. pic.twitter.com/7wYwgf81NK
