Springfield's Talk 104.1 On-Demand

Hour 1 - 

Good Wednesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:

The Senate Judiciary Committee questioned Department of Homeland Security head Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday regarding the southern border.

During the questioning, Mayorkas was asked to define "assault weapon," which he could not... Because there is NOT a clear definition.

Sen. Ted Cruz also lashed out at Mayorkas. "Mr. Secretary, I want to say to you right now, your behavior is disgraceful. And the deaths, the children assaulted, the children raped, they are at your feet. And if you had integrity, you would resign," Cruz told Mayorkas of his handling of the border crisis. "The men and women of the Border Patrol, they've never had a political leader undermine them. They despise you, Mr. Secretary, because you're willing to let children be raped to follow political orders. This is a crisis. It's a disgrace. And you won't even admit this human tragedy as it is crisis."
