1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Well, we are hearing 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: that the economy and the border are top issues for 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: voters in twenty twenty four, and honestly, I believe it's 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: the genius of Governor Abbott sending illegal migrants from Texas 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,479 Speaker 1: into these supposed sanctuary cities that the reason is that 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: we're hearing so much about the border security being top 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: of mind. Listen, Suddenly folks in New York are being 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: flooded with illegals. Their schools are being used as shelters, 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: their hotels are full, local resources are being diverted to 10 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: non citizens. Chicagoans are experiencing the same thing, and suddenly 11 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: being a sanctuary for illegals is not so appealing. And 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking about even to the left fees. But it's 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: not just that an open border is a nightmare for 14 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: women and children. And we are blessed to have Senator 15 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Marshall Blackburn on to talk with us about how hard 16 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: it is to stop the abuse of our children at 17 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: the southern border. I'm excited to welcome her to the podcast. 18 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: Senator Blackburn, thank you for being with us. 19 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: I am so happy to join you in Tutor. Thank 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: you so much for the attention that you are putting 21 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: on this issue. We see that footage at the southern border, 22 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: and people say, how could this possibly be happening. And 23 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: of course we know about the drugs, we know about 24 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: the human trafficking, the sex trafficking, but in all of this, 25 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: the humanitarian crisis. Not only is it a national security 26 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: crisis and a border security crisis and dealing with elevated 27 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 2: crime levels in our country with gangs, but the humanitarian 28 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: crisis in the impact on women and children that is 29 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: happening through this process is something we have not seen 30 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: in modern times. And it's why so many people look 31 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: at this and say this is modern day slavey because 32 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 2: of what happens with these children and the way this 33 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: process with the cartels works. They go to people, they 34 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: say we will get you or we will get your 35 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: child into the United States, and here's our fee. And 36 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: people will say, well, I don't have that much money. 37 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: So then they say, well, you can work that fee 38 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: out when you get to the United States. And those 39 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: of us that have spent time on the border and 40 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: with border patrol know that the cartels use different colored bracelets, 41 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: and in the US people know that there's home confinement 42 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: for some criminals, and they will be they'll have a 43 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: bracelet that they cannot remove that is on them. That 44 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: is what the cartels are doing to these individuals. Then 45 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: many of these children are being put into labor gangs, 46 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: some of them are being used for drug trafficking. And 47 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: you have many of the women and children that are 48 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: put into sex trafficking rings and tutor Many of your 49 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: viewers and listeners have probably heard some of the big 50 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 2: city mayors saying that sex trafficking is out of control 51 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 2: in their cities. So why is this? Much of it 52 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: is tied to the cartels. And the thing is local 53 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: law enforcement will tell you this. We keep raising it 54 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: with the federal government, but they choose to do nothing. Indeed, 55 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: you will hear Secretary of mayorca say the border is closed. 56 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: That is just crazy to me. You talk about big 57 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: cities having a sex trafficking problem, We're hearing about even 58 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: Traverse City in the state of Michigan, which is like 59 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: a tourist destination, having a trafficking problem. That these kids 60 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: that are coming up that with their parents, the migrants 61 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: that are working the farms, the kids are being abused. 62 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a problem across the country. I 63 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: think we're number two in the world for trafficking, human 64 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: trafficking in the entire world. 65 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: Yes, what we have seen. According to the Department of 66 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: Homeland Security, in twenty nineteen, they classified human trafficking as 67 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: a five hundred million dollar a year business. Tutor today 68 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: they classify it as a one hundred and fifty billion 69 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: dollar a year business. Last year, we know that the 70 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: cartels brought people from one hundred of southern border. Now, 71 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: these people don't just show up in Mexico and say, 72 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: let me Venmo use some money and you get me 73 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: across the border and I'll raise my hands and say asylum. 74 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: What is happening is that these cartels are using social media, 75 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: and they're global organizations. They're very sophisticated organizations, and they 76 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 2: have built global networks. They've put them in place for 77 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: drug trafficking, for gangs, for human trafficking, for this sex 78 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 2: slavery that you see taking place. And when the US 79 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 2: does not secure our border, when we do not deal 80 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: with asylum, when we do not deal with parole, when 81 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: we do not put a barrier on that border, when 82 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: we do not put better technology there, all things that 83 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: border patrol has asked for then the cartels think, hey, 84 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: as long as we get them to the border and 85 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 2: they say the word asylum, then they're going to be 86 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: taken in. They're going to be waived in the country. 87 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: They're going to be given food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, will 88 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 2: give them an iPhone, will give them a date to 89 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: appear in court years down the road, and they can 90 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 2: go on their way. So the US taxpayer actually is 91 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: paying for the last leg of the journey for these 92 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: cartels that are making billions and billions of dollars. 93 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: So that's something we've heard recently is you know, the 94 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: drugs are one thing, but the real market now is 95 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: humans and trafficking of humans. And I think it's interesting 96 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: that you compared this to slavery, because people aren't doing that. 97 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: But this is a trade of human beings. So how 98 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: is it any different than what we saw years ago 99 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: when the trade was human beings and this is this 100 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: is a sick and twisted trade of human beings where 101 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: they're coming in and these are children being used for 102 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: sexual pleasure of adults. I mean, it is really the 103 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: most vile thing you can think of, and yet you 104 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: have liberals defending this. I mean, we talked about this 105 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: this week. We had Congressman Comer here in Michigan. We're 106 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: talking about the border and saying, well, why aren't the 107 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: Democrats stepping up and saying, okay, wait a minute, this 108 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: is too much because I think something else that you 109 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: said is key here. The border is controlled by the cartels. 110 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: Nobody comes in and out of the border without the 111 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: cartels knowing. Exactly right, it's not us, it's not our 112 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: border patrol. It's the cartels that are controlling them, and 113 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: they owe them. They will always owe them, that's right. 114 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: And that's why they put banded bracelets on them. And 115 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,559 Speaker 2: they're different colors for the different cartels and the type 116 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: work that these individuals are going to do. And Secretary 117 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: Mayorcus in one of our Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, Senator 118 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: Cruz actually showed a board that he had made that 119 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: had the different bracelets on it and asked Secretary mayorcus 120 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: if he knew what these were. And Secretary Mayorcas said 121 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: that he did not, and Senator Cruz questioned him on that. 122 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 2: He said, you know, these are the bands that the 123 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: cartels are putting on people. To work out their fees, 124 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 2: and you don't know what these are. So there is 125 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: a lack of attention given to the manner in which 126 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: the cartels are working and how they are entrapping these 127 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: individuals and then pulling them into their network. There are 128 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 2: I have to tell you, every town's a border town. 129 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: Every state is a border state right now. And when 130 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: you talk to local law enforcement, you see that the 131 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: way fentanyl is pushing its way into our communities, the 132 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 2: way fentanyl is ruining lives and poisoning young people. And indeed, 133 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: one pill that is fentanyl laced can kill you. It 134 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 2: can kill you. And getting that message out to children 135 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 2: is so vitally important. And then you know, we all 136 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: know that HHS and the Office of Refugee Resettlement has 137 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: taken in many of these unaccompanied daily and children. These 138 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: are children that have been turned over to the cartels 139 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: to make this journey to the US. Will they come 140 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: to the US and then the oh Office of Refugee 141 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: Resettlement puts them with a foster parent or a sponsor, 142 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: and these individuals are not properly vetted. We know that 143 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: HHS has eighty five thousand children that they at this 144 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 2: point cannot find eighty five thousand. 145 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 146 00:09:53,559 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: a Tutor Dixon podcast. When this was the Trumpet administration, 147 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: all we heard about with missing kids. They've lost kids, 148 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: they've lost these family members, kids without parents. I mean, 149 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: Time magazine has Donald Trump on the front of the 150 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: magazine with the kid there. Oh, this kid was robbed 151 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: of its parents. Where is the news media on this? 152 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: And it's been so interesting to me that the news 153 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: media has not covered this. Now, we did find out 154 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 2: about some of these kids being placed with people that 155 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: are using them for labor. And a reporter was covering 156 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 2: a neat processing plant and found that there were children 157 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: working that overnight shift in this plant. Now, Tutor, these 158 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 2: children did not think and these parents that sent them 159 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: on this journey did not think they were going to 160 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: wind up being in these labor gangs and used in 161 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: this way. But the improper and incomplete vetting process of 162 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: these individuals who take these children, and then a month 163 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 2: later you have the case worker that calls to check 164 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: on the welfare of the child and they never get 165 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: an answer. They never get an answer, so they don't 166 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: know where these children are. And we continue to follow 167 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: up with HHS to say where are these children. You're 168 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: responsible for them and for their welfare, and we don't 169 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: know if these children are dead or alive, or if 170 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: they've been pushed into labor gangs, or if they're in 171 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: sex trafficking rings, or they're being used to push drugs 172 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: in community, or if they've been put into an MS 173 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: thirteen gang and they're being used for smashing grabs or carjackings. 174 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: We don't know, and HHS is not able to give 175 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: us the information. And you have precious lives that are 176 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 2: being impacted adversely every single day. Imagine the fear of 177 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: a child that is there. And the other TBI Tennessee 178 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: Bureau of Investigation had given us a stat that I 179 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: think is just a heartbreaking stat. This human trafficking business 180 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: has grown so in the last few years, and it 181 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: has penetrated our country so deeply that at this point, 182 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 2: every two minutes a child is bought or sold for 183 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: sex in this country, Oh gosh. 184 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: Every two minutes. 185 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 2: And you know, for people like me that are a 186 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 2: mom and a grandmom and you hold these children and 187 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: you just pray over them, and you want the best 188 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: for them, and you want God's protection on them and 189 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 2: that they be kept from evil. And then you hear 190 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 2: stats like this and it is absolutely heartbreaking. 191 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: Absolutely so you I want you to talk a little 192 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: bit about your bill to combat child recycling. I don't 193 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: think people fully understand what child recycling is, what happens 194 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: at the border. And I think it's interesting that you 195 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: introduce this by saying we have a humanitarian crisis on 196 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: the border, and not from the standpoint of, oh, gosh, 197 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: we've got a lot all these people in from the 198 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: standpoint of these people who are coming across, every one 199 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: of them is abused everyone to try. 200 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 2: They are all, from what we have learned, they are 201 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 2: all physically, mentally, emotionally, sexually and drug abused. And that 202 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: is something that is known. And this is why having 203 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 2: this open border is. This is not compassionate in the least. 204 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 2: And I've actually stood on the floor of the Senate 205 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 2: in my remarks and said to my Democratic colleagues, I 206 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 2: will yield time to anyone who can give me an 207 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: explanation of what you think is compassionate about this open 208 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: border process. I will yield time to anyone who can 209 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: say why they think we should make illegal immigration legal 210 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: and todate. I've had no one to accept that challenge. 211 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: And the issue of child recycling is something that is 212 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: just you hear it and you say this is repulsive 213 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 2: and this can't possibly be happening, but it is. And 214 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 2: Border patrol will tell you that they have seen some 215 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: children come with adults seven eight nine different times. This 216 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: is the process that the cartels followed. They get someone 217 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: who allows their child to be taken from them and 218 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 2: placed with an adult coming into the country. Now the 219 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: child's name and address is written on them on their 220 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: back or on their arm in indelible ink. And once 221 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: the individual the cartel has finished with the child, they've 222 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 2: gotten the person in the country that they had put 223 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 2: this child with so they could pose as a family unit. 224 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: Then the cartel takes the child from that individual and 225 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 2: the cartel sends the child back across the border. Then 226 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 2: the parents put that child again with another manned woman 227 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: whomever they're trying to get across, and allows them to 228 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: come back again. And as I said, some border patrol 229 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: agents have seen the same child many many times with 230 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 2: different adults that are coming in. Now. When President Donald 231 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: Trump was president, he put in place DNA testing for 232 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 2: children that were with an adult, but the adult did 233 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 2: not have any kind of documentation that that was their 234 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: child and tutor. What we learned from doing that DNA 235 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: testing that is that as many as a third of 236 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 2: all the children that were being presented at a boarder 237 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 2: with an adult, as many as a third were in 238 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: no way related to that adult. So those children would 239 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 2: be separated from that adult so that they could find 240 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 2: the parent and return that child to the parent. Now, 241 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: the Biden administration came back in and said, okay, we're 242 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 2: going to eliminate this DNA testing because get this, it 243 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 2: takes too much time. Oh my goodness, it is a yeah, 244 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 2: it's a forty five minute test. Now, if you can 245 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: save a child's life by spending forty five minutes to 246 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 2: do one simple DNA test, is that not worth the 247 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: time and the money to do that to separate that 248 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 2: child to make certain that they don't end up traffiiced. 249 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: It is pretty consistent though from the Left that saving 250 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: a child's life is not their priority. 251 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 2: And it is so disappointing that they won't do that 252 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 2: knowing the results that that yields, and you can cut 253 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 2: in to this trafficking. So the traffickers know that there 254 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 2: is no DNA testing, that your word is taken as 255 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 2: your word when you come to the southern border. 256 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: So we've seen a lot of talk about the border 257 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: in the last few months with the presidential campaigns and 258 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: all of this going on, and there have been talk, 259 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: there's been talk from some folks saying we need to 260 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: go in there and take out the leaders of these cartels, 261 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: just like you're talking about we need to take out 262 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: the leaders of Hamas and the Huthis and all of 263 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: these people. We need to do the same thing with 264 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: the cartels because they are doing things that are just 265 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: as damaging and just as hurtful, and the murders and 266 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: the abuse, all of it is just as bad. Now 267 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: we see cartels using drones to overpower our border agents. 268 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: At at what point do we actually say these are terrorists? 269 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 2: And the important thing there is if we got rid 270 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: of the magnet, which is an open border, think of 271 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 2: what that would do. Because the border patrol has told 272 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 2: us for decades that they need a physical barrier, they 273 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 2: need better technology where they cannot have a barrier, and 274 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 2: they need more officers and agents, and this would shut 275 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: that down. You know, if you look at just the 276 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 2: issue of terrorists that are coming into our country. Hundreds 277 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 2: on Joe Biden's watch, eighty since the first of the 278 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 2: fiscal year, and under Donald Trump's entire four years, what 279 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 2: do we have eleven terrorists? They didn't come because they 280 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 2: knew the border was being enforced. They knew that they 281 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: were not going to get waved into the country or 282 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 2: parolled into the country because there was a fence that 283 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 2: was being built and they were not going to be 284 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 2: able to see scale that fits. And people say, well, 285 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 2: where did the build the wall come from? This came 286 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 2: from border patrol telling President Trump they needed a barrier, 287 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 2: and he said, we'll do that. We'll build us a wall. 288 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 2: And so that's where that came from. It wasn't a 289 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 2: President Trump's making. It was President Trump listening to border patrol, 290 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 2: listening to border town mayors and governors and saying, well, 291 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 2: if that's what you need, let's do it. 292 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,479 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 293 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: a Tutor Dixon podcast. That's something that I think people 294 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: don't hear enough about President Trump. And we talked about 295 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: this this week too when we were here with Bill 296 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: Heisinger and James Comer about even back in his administration 297 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: when he had made decisions, because they're a time when 298 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: he made a decision to cut funding for the Great 299 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: Lakes Restoration project, and Bill and a couple of our 300 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: other congressmen literally jumped into the caravan with him and said, hey, 301 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: mister President, we need you to hear us. And he said, 302 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: you know what, I hear you. I didn't realize that 303 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm actually going to put more funding toward it. This 304 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: is a man who listens for all the media who says, oh, 305 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: he's he's you know, he's a dictator. He won't do anything. No, 306 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: he doesn't get these ideas on his own. He is 307 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: a great leader who sits down with people who advise 308 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: him and he takes that advice. 309 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 2: That's rah and then he takes an action. And when 310 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 2: he says he's going to do something, he doesn't. And 311 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: you look at the border wall, you look at the 312 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 2: Great Likes issue, you look at the issue of moving 313 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which is legislation 314 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 2: I had had it was bipartisan, and had had that 315 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 2: legislation for five years. And how exciting it was that 316 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 2: we finally recognize Jerusalem and put that embassy where it 317 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: was supposed to be. And you're right. President Trump listens 318 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 2: and then he says, well, let's get us a plan, 319 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 2: and let's get in behind it and get the job done. 320 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: And once that is decided, there's a certainty to it. 321 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: I mean, when you see President Trump come out and 322 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: talk about something, you know that there, like you said, 323 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: there will be action behind it. We have a president 324 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: right now and Joe Biden who can't make a decision 325 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: on whether or not he stands with Israel, who can't 326 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: make a decision on how he feels about China. We 327 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: are in severe danger right now. Our national security is 328 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: in severe danger right now. And I think people are 329 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: who are on the fence about what to do come 330 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: November of twenty twenty four. They need to understand that 331 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: we need to stand strong because there is peace through. 332 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 2: Strengths, absolutely, and we know that our enemies sense weakness. 333 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,479 Speaker 2: And you look at the turmoil across the globe, You 334 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 2: look at the failures of Afghanistan, You look at the 335 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 2: aggressiveness of China, the bullying that they are doing to 336 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 2: the South Pacific nations and to Taiwan. You look at 337 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: their aggressiveness with what I call the Axis of Evil, 338 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 2: with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, North Korea testing rockets, 339 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 2: North Korea providing rockets to Russia, North Korea saying they're 340 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 2: providing rockets to Iran for the Iranian proxies to use, 341 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: Putin going in to Crimea, going in and pushing into Ukraine, 342 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 2: and the aggressiveness that is there. All of this is 343 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 2: happening on Joe Biden's watch because Joe Biden is not 344 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: able to make a decision and then chart a course 345 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 2: of action, and he is more about appeasement than he 346 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: is about protection for the American people. Now, Tutor, I 347 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: think that there is a group of people this year 348 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 2: that are going to show up like they have never 349 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 2: shown up. I call them security moms. They are interested 350 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 2: in economic security, job security, border security, national security, and 351 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 2: this is their thing, and they are looking at what 352 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: is happening globally in a different view than they ever 353 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 2: have before because they know that an unsafe world is 354 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 2: going to make it unsafe for their children. I had 355 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 2: a mom this past week whose daughter was on a 356 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 2: trip college trip, and the mom was sending me pictures 357 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 2: of this beautiful talented young girl. And she said, you know, 358 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 2: I worry about her every day on this because you've 359 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 2: got a run with the Huthis and hesbelon Amasa, all 360 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 2: of these groups, and this young girl was over in 361 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 2: this region of the world on this college trip. And 362 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 2: I told the mom, I said, you know, we just 363 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 2: have to pray that hedge of protection around these children. 364 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 2: But we also have to realize that these terrorist groups, 365 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 2: these proxies of Iran would not have this money except 366 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 2: for the fact that Joe Biden lifted the sanctions on 367 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 2: Iran and allowed them to sell their oil. And instead 368 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: of only making about twelve billion dollars a year selling oil, 369 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 2: they're making a billion dollars a week. And they're funding 370 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 2: these proxies. All these groups has Bulahamas, the who these 371 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 2: isis in Syria isis are Raq Islamic Revolutionary Guard. They're 372 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: funding all of these people to the tune of about 373 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars a year, plus they are training them, 374 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: plus they are equipping them. And you've got that access 375 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 2: of evil with Russia, China, Iran in North Korea trying 376 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 2: to do what trying to broaden their sphere of influence 377 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 2: and as they do that, it makes the world less safe. 378 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 2: And I am so grateful that women are paying attention 379 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 2: to this. Women are paying attention to what is happening 380 00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 2: with prime in their communities. They're paying attention to the 381 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 2: fact that gangs are coming into these communities that have 382 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 2: never seen a gang before, They've never had a gang 383 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 2: or a violence problem in these communities. They're paying attention 384 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 2: to the fact that fentanyl is rampant, and that good 385 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 2: kids are being poisoned and are losing their lives. And 386 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 2: they're paying attention to the fact that on social media, 387 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 2: that's where a lot of these kids meet a drug 388 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 2: dealer or meet a pedophile and get groomed and pulled 389 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 2: into the sex trafficking grings. 390 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: Right.
