### McAllen Texas, Migrant Flight Statistics, Federal Funding

Data from McAllen, Texas, indicates that approximately 50,000 more passengers flew out of the local airport than flew in during a single month. This discrepancy is attributed to the federal government's practice of flying migrants to various locations across the United States. The logistics of these transfers are funded by taxpayer money through federal agencies.

A 24-day hunger strike initiated by Carrie Kennedy in support of separated families is mocked for its lack of follow-through and media disappearance. The hosts compare the current hatred of Trump to the era of George W. Bush, where the president was simultaneously portrayed as an "idiot" and an "evil genius." They also criticize European observers for lecturing Americans while ignoring migrant camps like "The Jungle" in Calais.
