Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. It's been more than

4
00:00:30,497 --> 00:00:32,337
Speaker 1: a year and a half since Joe Biden took the

5
00:00:32,337 --> 00:00:34,457
Speaker 1: oath of office, and as many of us predicted, the

6
00:00:34,537 --> 00:00:38,537
Speaker 1: US Mexico border remains all but open. Hundreds of thousands

7
00:00:38,617 --> 00:00:41,057
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants continue to pour into the United States

8
00:00:41,097 --> 00:00:44,697
Speaker 1: every month, overwhelming border agents and leaving America vulnerable to

9
00:00:44,817 --> 00:00:48,137
Speaker 1: national security threats and drug traffickers. And this special edition

10
00:00:48,177 --> 00:00:51,457
Speaker 1: of Hold the Line an update on chaos at America's

11
00:00:51,457 --> 00:01:01,457
Speaker 1: southern border. We'll get into all of it. Welcome to

12
00:01:01,457 --> 00:01:03,857
Speaker 1: this special edition of Hold the Line. I'm Buck Sexton.

13
00:01:04,217 --> 00:01:06,937
Speaker 1: The Biden border is the worst it probably has ever

14
00:01:07,017 --> 00:01:10,817
Speaker 1: been in modern history of this nation. To be sure,

15
00:01:11,817 --> 00:01:16,057
Speaker 1: never before have we had so many illegal aliens from

16
00:01:16,137 --> 00:01:20,177
Speaker 1: so many countries, by the way, from countries all over

17
00:01:20,217 --> 00:01:22,817
Speaker 1: the world. We often think of illegal immigration as a

18
00:01:22,817 --> 00:01:26,977
Speaker 1: problem of mostly our countries to the south, Mexico, Central America,

19
00:01:27,177 --> 00:01:30,657
Speaker 1: South America, and certainly a lot of those countries are represented,

20
00:01:30,697 --> 00:01:34,217
Speaker 1: and even the case of Central America disproportionately show in

21
00:01:34,297 --> 00:01:37,577
Speaker 1: the illegal migrants in recent years. But there are people

22
00:01:37,617 --> 00:01:41,777
Speaker 1: showing up from Pakistan, from Thailand, from West Africa, from

23
00:01:41,857 --> 00:01:45,817
Speaker 1: you name it, all over the world coming into America

24
00:01:45,857 --> 00:01:50,137
Speaker 1: illegally of the southern border because it is so easy,

25
00:01:50,417 --> 00:01:51,937
Speaker 1: and you don't just have to take my word for it.

26
00:01:51,977 --> 00:01:54,177
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the numbers. The numbers speak for themselves.

27
00:01:54,177 --> 00:01:57,817
Speaker 1: This graph shows total border encounters between twenty nineteen and

28
00:01:57,857 --> 00:02:01,297
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two by month. In red. You can see

29
00:02:01,297 --> 00:02:05,737
Speaker 1: it's the highest number by far, shows the highest number

30
00:02:05,737 --> 00:02:10,057
Speaker 1: by far. I mean it's getting getting worse, folks. Okay,

31
00:02:10,137 --> 00:02:12,497
Speaker 1: border encounters are having going up and up and up,

32
00:02:12,857 --> 00:02:14,897
Speaker 1: and this is because people know they'll come into the

33
00:02:14,897 --> 00:02:18,097
Speaker 1: country illegally and they will be able to stay. Now,

34
00:02:18,097 --> 00:02:20,497
Speaker 1: here's a graph that shows total single adults crossing the

35
00:02:20,537 --> 00:02:24,257
Speaker 1: border by year. This year is more than the three

36
00:02:24,497 --> 00:02:28,337
Speaker 1: previous years together. Look at this. Twenty nineteen it was

37
00:02:28,457 --> 00:02:31,817
Speaker 1: point three six million, a few hundred thousand, twenty twenty

38
00:02:31,857 --> 00:02:34,377
Speaker 1: it was three hundred, it was point three millions a

39
00:02:34,457 --> 00:02:38,057
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand, twenty twenty one point two million, twenty

40
00:02:38,057 --> 00:02:41,697
Speaker 1: twenty two, one point two million. Okay, so by the

41
00:02:41,897 --> 00:02:46,897
Speaker 1: end of this year, you're gonna have more than likely

42
00:02:47,137 --> 00:02:50,657
Speaker 1: the previous three years all put together. What's going on here, folks?

43
00:02:50,697 --> 00:02:53,817
Speaker 1: What changed all of a sudden There's some big shift

44
00:02:53,857 --> 00:02:59,137
Speaker 1: in transportation globally. No, as we know, this is because

45
00:02:59,177 --> 00:03:03,177
Speaker 1: the Biden administration does not want to disincentivize illegal immigration.

46
00:03:03,337 --> 00:03:08,337
Speaker 1: They would like the continuation of the de facto open

47
00:03:08,497 --> 00:03:12,697
Speaker 1: border that we currently have. Now, this causes all kinds

48
00:03:12,697 --> 00:03:15,337
Speaker 1: of problems. First of all, there's just lawlessness of it.

49
00:03:15,657 --> 00:03:20,377
Speaker 1: There's the enormous influx of drugs coming in, including fentonel.

50
00:03:20,417 --> 00:03:22,897
Speaker 1: Remember we had over one hundred thousand overdoses last year

51
00:03:22,897 --> 00:03:25,977
Speaker 1: this country. People dead from drugs, and these drugs are

52
00:03:26,417 --> 00:03:30,977
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly coming to the United States over the US Mexico border,

53
00:03:31,057 --> 00:03:37,457
Speaker 1: Vietna cartels, and there's just lawlessness and chaos going on. Meanwhile,

54
00:03:37,497 --> 00:03:41,137
Speaker 1: FBI Director Ray is pointing out here that illegal immigrants

55
00:03:41,137 --> 00:03:43,097
Speaker 1: coming from over one hundred and fifty countries and we

56
00:03:43,097 --> 00:03:44,697
Speaker 1: don't know who they are, what they're doing here. It

57
00:03:44,817 --> 00:03:48,537
Speaker 1: is a serious and significant security issue. Watch in one sector,

58
00:03:48,617 --> 00:03:53,857
Speaker 1: the del Rio sector, they reported encounters people from one

59
00:03:53,937 --> 00:03:58,177
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty plus countries. In other words, it's not

60
00:03:58,257 --> 00:04:01,377
Speaker 1: just a south of the border issue in terms of Mexico,

61
00:04:01,497 --> 00:04:05,577
Speaker 1: Central America and the like. This is an international human

62
00:04:05,857 --> 00:04:10,657
Speaker 1: smuggling network. Would you agree with me? I don't have

63
00:04:10,697 --> 00:04:12,537
Speaker 1: the numbers like it sounds like you do, but I

64
00:04:12,617 --> 00:04:17,217
Speaker 1: certainly know that it is an eclectic mix of nationalities

65
00:04:17,737 --> 00:04:21,977
Speaker 1: and the volume is just staggering, and that's a public

66
00:04:22,017 --> 00:04:26,377
Speaker 1: security threat. You agree with me? To me, it represents

67
00:04:26,417 --> 00:04:30,097
Speaker 1: a significant security issue and represents a wide array of

68
00:04:30,137 --> 00:04:33,297
Speaker 1: criminal threats that flow out of it. It is a

69
00:04:33,337 --> 00:04:36,977
Speaker 1: significant security issue. He said, What about the men and

70
00:04:37,017 --> 00:04:40,697
Speaker 1: women who are on our border trying to actually enforce

71
00:04:41,377 --> 00:04:43,417
Speaker 1: the law, how do they feel about their mission? Said?

72
00:04:43,417 --> 00:04:46,057
Speaker 1: Do they think the Biden administration is in any way

73
00:04:46,097 --> 00:04:50,177
Speaker 1: supportive of them? Of course not. They don't want the

74
00:04:50,337 --> 00:04:53,457
Speaker 1: border patrol to be able to execute on their mission.

75
00:04:53,777 --> 00:04:56,097
Speaker 1: They want them to be overwhelmed. In fact, if you

76
00:04:56,177 --> 00:04:58,937
Speaker 1: listen to the Democrats, they seem to think that a

77
00:04:58,977 --> 00:05:02,417
Speaker 1: border patrol that is unable to prevent a legal entry

78
00:05:03,137 --> 00:05:05,497
Speaker 1: and there's hundreds of thousands of godaways too. We don't

79
00:05:05,537 --> 00:05:08,217
Speaker 1: even look at those numbers. But people that are just

80
00:05:08,257 --> 00:05:09,897
Speaker 1: getting in the country free and clear of no idea

81
00:05:09,897 --> 00:05:13,617
Speaker 1: what are not even processed. But Democrats think that if

82
00:05:13,657 --> 00:05:18,337
Speaker 1: we have border patrol focused on getting sandwiches and diapers

83
00:05:18,337 --> 00:05:20,897
Speaker 1: and baby formula for illegals coming into the country, because

84
00:05:20,897 --> 00:05:23,137
Speaker 1: that's what they do a lot of the time, somehow

85
00:05:23,177 --> 00:05:24,617
Speaker 1: we're all safer and better off. This is the way

86
00:05:24,657 --> 00:05:27,337
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. Border Patrol isn't meant to keep

87
00:05:27,377 --> 00:05:29,977
Speaker 1: our nation secure at the border. It is a welcoming

88
00:05:29,977 --> 00:05:33,617
Speaker 1: committee for anybody who wants to violate our laws. Well,

89
00:05:34,137 --> 00:05:35,897
Speaker 1: it is in fact now the case that some members

90
00:05:35,897 --> 00:05:41,257
Speaker 1: of Border Patrol are stepping up and saying this is nonsense.

91
00:05:41,297 --> 00:05:46,217
Speaker 1: Watch this. We stay focused. We continue to do the

92
00:05:46,297 --> 00:05:50,617
Speaker 1: job on the mission we started up. We all signed

93
00:05:50,697 --> 00:06:05,617
Speaker 1: up dependent constitution order in the policies. That's like you

94
00:06:05,857 --> 00:06:10,017
Speaker 1: got left. You just say we're evil to triumph. Exactly

95
00:06:10,057 --> 00:06:16,257
Speaker 1: what's happening. Good men are doing nothing. You're for evil

96
00:06:16,297 --> 00:06:20,897
Speaker 1: to triumph. Good men do nothing. Order Patrol speaking out

97
00:06:20,937 --> 00:06:24,217
Speaker 1: here back in January, order prol agens just saying this

98
00:06:24,337 --> 00:06:26,297
Speaker 1: is madness. Can't even say a legal alien under the

99
00:06:26,337 --> 00:06:30,857
Speaker 1: directors from the White House in DC. It's outrageous. It's outrageous.

100
00:06:31,497 --> 00:06:34,297
Speaker 1: Now some states have begun to take some action on

101
00:06:34,297 --> 00:06:37,137
Speaker 1: this because they know the federal government under Biden has

102
00:06:37,177 --> 00:06:39,177
Speaker 1: no interest in changing the situation. It is not a

103
00:06:39,217 --> 00:06:41,457
Speaker 1: crisis to Joe Biden. In fact, it is an opportunity

104
00:06:41,497 --> 00:06:43,857
Speaker 1: to the Democrats. They want to bring in as many

105
00:06:43,857 --> 00:06:46,377
Speaker 1: people from the developing world, as many people who don't

106
00:06:46,377 --> 00:06:49,817
Speaker 1: speak English. We're going to need substantial government assistance as

107
00:06:49,897 --> 00:06:53,777
Speaker 1: possible through illegal means into the country. Forget about their illegality,

108
00:06:53,857 --> 00:06:57,457
Speaker 1: forget about the congressional statutes that they're violating by their

109
00:06:57,537 --> 00:07:00,377
Speaker 1: very presence in this country in the hopes that they

110
00:07:00,457 --> 00:07:04,217
Speaker 1: will become Democrat question of when the amnesty comes or

111
00:07:04,417 --> 00:07:06,257
Speaker 1: when they have children here. As we know, then you

112
00:07:06,297 --> 00:07:09,297
Speaker 1: have the anchor baby situation. They will raise those children

113
00:07:09,377 --> 00:07:12,377
Speaker 1: likely to vote Democrat. That is the Democrat plan. They've

114
00:07:12,377 --> 00:07:16,017
Speaker 1: stated this for many years. Greg Abbott in Texas and

115
00:07:16,057 --> 00:07:18,257
Speaker 1: some other governors are deciding that this is crazy. Here

116
00:07:18,257 --> 00:07:21,417
Speaker 1: he is announcing that just to show people what the

117
00:07:21,537 --> 00:07:24,457
Speaker 1: drain on resources can be, he has charter busses for

118
00:07:24,457 --> 00:07:27,137
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, sending them from the border to Washington, DC

119
00:07:28,057 --> 00:07:32,417
Speaker 1: to help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed by

120
00:07:32,457 --> 00:07:35,337
Speaker 1: hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by

121
00:07:35,377 --> 00:07:41,857
Speaker 1: the Biden administration Texas is providing charter buses to send

122
00:07:42,257 --> 00:07:44,377
Speaker 1: these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the

123
00:07:44,377 --> 00:07:50,217
Speaker 1: Biden administration to Washington, DC. We are sending them to

124
00:07:50,417 --> 00:07:52,657
Speaker 1: the United States Capital, where the Biden administration will be

125
00:07:52,697 --> 00:07:55,097
Speaker 1: able to more immediately address the needs of the people

126
00:07:55,137 --> 00:07:58,577
Speaker 1: that they are allowing to come across our border. Then

127
00:07:58,777 --> 00:08:02,817
Speaker 1: back in April, Arizona Governor Doug Doocy announced that there

128
00:08:02,897 --> 00:08:05,017
Speaker 1: was going to be an American Governor's Border Strike Force.

129
00:08:05,097 --> 00:08:08,977
Speaker 1: Watch this today, We're announcing the American Governor's Border Strike

130
00:08:09,097 --> 00:08:12,697
Speaker 1: Force to do what the Biden administration refuses to do.

131
00:08:12,817 --> 00:08:15,257
Speaker 1: The numbers are staggering, and I want to say, this

132
00:08:15,337 --> 00:08:19,257
Speaker 1: is not an immigration crisis. This is a border security crisis.

133
00:08:19,457 --> 00:08:23,057
Speaker 1: Immigration policy is set in Washington, DC, and Joe Biden

134
00:08:23,097 --> 00:08:26,337
Speaker 1: has let the whole world know that our border is open.

135
00:08:27,657 --> 00:08:29,257
Speaker 1: All right, We've got a great line up a Guess

136
00:08:29,257 --> 00:08:31,137
Speaker 1: Feuterer Night to take us through the ongoing crisis. Is

137
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:33,417
Speaker 1: the border coming up next? The Center for Immigration Studies

138
00:08:33,497 --> 00:08:36,377
Speaker 1: Art Arthur explains how the Biden administration is not only

139
00:08:36,377 --> 00:08:39,137
Speaker 1: failing to secure the border but making the problems worse.

140
00:08:39,297 --> 00:08:48,457
Speaker 1: Stay with us. A lot of companies promise that your

Speaker 1: privacy is guaranteed. But we know that's not true. That's

142
00:08:51,537 --> 00:08:54,537
Speaker 1: why you need a new privacy and cybersecurity application tool

Speaker 1: five percent off. And speaking of the border, is the

159
00:09:58,657 --> 00:10:02,537
Speaker 1: border safe now? I was watching a news channel and

160
00:10:02,617 --> 00:10:05,057
Speaker 1: they were talking about an invasion. What's happening, and I

161
00:10:05,057 --> 00:10:13,457
Speaker 1: got a little concerned. Look, the border, the border is secure,

162
00:10:14,377 --> 00:10:18,697
Speaker 1: the border. We are working to make the border more secure.

163
00:10:19,137 --> 00:10:23,257
Speaker 1: That has been a historic challenge. DJs Secretary Alejandre may

164
00:10:23,337 --> 00:10:27,417
Speaker 1: Orcas assuring Americans that the border is secure. Unfortunately, the

165
00:10:27,497 --> 00:10:31,297
Speaker 1: numbers tell a different story. For eight report from Fox News,

166
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:34,897
Speaker 1: an averager fifty five illegal immigrant gotaways have crossed the

167
00:10:34,937 --> 00:10:38,297
Speaker 1: border in the US but evaded capture since the start

168
00:10:38,297 --> 00:10:41,217
Speaker 1: a fiscal year twenty twenty two. That amounts to more

169
00:10:41,257 --> 00:10:44,217
Speaker 1: than five hundred thousand so far this year, already exceeding

170
00:10:44,297 --> 00:10:47,937
Speaker 1: last year's total of just under four hundred thousand. Despite

171
00:10:47,977 --> 00:10:50,137
Speaker 1: the clear need for leadership on this issue, the Biden

172
00:10:50,137 --> 00:10:53,577
Speaker 1: administration seems to be doing little, if anything, to stem

173
00:10:53,617 --> 00:10:57,537
Speaker 1: the flow of immigrants illegally into the country, leaving border

174
00:10:57,537 --> 00:11:00,337
Speaker 1: states like Texas and Arizona to fend for themselves. You

175
00:11:00,377 --> 00:11:02,177
Speaker 1: know what I mean now, is Resident Fellow in Law

176

Speaker 1: and Policy for the Center for Immigration Studies Art Arthur Art.

177
00:11:06,257 --> 00:11:08,857
Speaker 1: Thanks for being one of us, Thank you for having me.

178
00:11:09,497 --> 00:11:12,377
Speaker 1: I'm let's just start with this with this gotaway number.

179
00:11:12,817 --> 00:11:16,217
Speaker 1: When they're talking about gotaways, that's just people who manage

180
00:11:16,257 --> 00:11:18,817
Speaker 1: to free and clear get in the United States, and

181
00:11:18,857 --> 00:11:20,617
Speaker 1: it's a half a million for the fiscal year that

182
00:11:20,777 --> 00:11:24,137
Speaker 1: it feels like a lot. Yeah, no, that's a huge number.

183
00:11:24,217 --> 00:11:26,177
Speaker 1: Keep in mind that there are a lot of years

184
00:11:26,217 --> 00:11:29,817
Speaker 1: between two seventeen and twenty nineteen we didn't get half

185
00:11:29,857 --> 00:11:33,337
Speaker 1: a million aliens who were apprehended at the southwest border.

186
00:11:34,057 --> 00:11:36,977
Speaker 1: And those goataways are aliens who don't want to be caught.

187
00:11:37,017 --> 00:11:39,457
Speaker 1: They don't want to turn themselves into border patrol and

188
00:11:39,537 --> 00:11:42,857
Speaker 1: you make fallacious claims for asylum. They want to evade

189
00:11:42,897 --> 00:11:45,777
Speaker 1: boarder patrol, which means but those are the worst, the worst,

190
00:11:45,897 --> 00:11:48,337
Speaker 1: the drug dealers, the terrorsts. They could be a lot

191
00:11:48,377 --> 00:11:50,737
Speaker 1: of people just covered for work, but we don't know

192
00:11:50,777 --> 00:11:53,737
Speaker 1: why they're here. We have to assume the worst and

193
00:11:53,817 --> 00:11:56,417
Speaker 1: the reason they got away numbers so large. Is it

194
00:11:56,457 --> 00:12:00,737
Speaker 1: fair to say it's in part because the border patrol

195
00:12:00,937 --> 00:12:05,177
Speaker 1: is so stretched dealing with those who are surrendering under

196
00:12:05,257 --> 00:12:11,377
Speaker 1: our increasingly obviously ridiculous asylum policy which is being abused,

197
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:14,417
Speaker 1: and so they can't actually do the other part of

198
00:12:14,417 --> 00:12:16,297
Speaker 1: the mission, which is stopping people from just going to

199
00:12:16,377 --> 00:12:19,897
Speaker 1: the country and never surrender. Yeah, now that's exactly it.

200
00:12:19,977 --> 00:12:22,817
Speaker 1: In fact, we know that it spots on along the

201
00:12:22,857 --> 00:12:25,817
Speaker 1: Texas border. Only about thirty percent of agents are on

202
00:12:25,857 --> 00:12:29,417
Speaker 1: the line. I've been down there three times this year,

203
00:12:29,817 --> 00:12:32,057
Speaker 1: and where I used to see border patrol vehicles on

204
00:12:32,097 --> 00:12:34,297
Speaker 1: the street down by the river all the time, there's

205
00:12:34,337 --> 00:12:38,417
Speaker 1: no one. The cartels, the smugglers, they know that. So

206
00:12:38,457 --> 00:12:41,497
Speaker 1: what they'll do is they'll send families and kids across.

207
00:12:42,417 --> 00:12:45,137
Speaker 1: Border patrol has to then respond that creates gaps in

208
00:12:45,217 --> 00:12:48,697
Speaker 1: the line, that the drugs are moving through. Drug seizures

209
00:12:48,697 --> 00:12:50,857
Speaker 1: are down both at the border and the ports this year,

210
00:12:51,817 --> 00:12:55,377
Speaker 1: and that other got away criminals who knows are coming

211
00:12:55,377 --> 00:12:57,617
Speaker 1: through those gaps in the wall that are created by

212
00:12:57,657 --> 00:13:01,537
Speaker 1: the absence of border patrol. One interesting news story about

213
00:13:01,537 --> 00:13:04,657
Speaker 1: the border that just got out there recently is that

214
00:13:04,697 --> 00:13:08,017
Speaker 1: the Biden administrations apparently going to close gaps in the

215
00:13:08,057 --> 00:13:12,497
Speaker 1: border walls. From CNN, administration is authorized US Customs and

216
00:13:12,537 --> 00:13:14,817
Speaker 1: Border Protection to close gaps in a border wall in

217
00:13:14,897 --> 00:13:18,777
Speaker 1: Arizona near the Morellos Dam in order to protect migrants

218
00:13:18,817 --> 00:13:21,017
Speaker 1: from drowning and sustaining injuries while trying to cross the

219
00:13:21,017 --> 00:13:25,857
Speaker 1: Colorado River. In the United States, it seems to me

220
00:13:26,097 --> 00:13:30,737
Speaker 1: like you're just having the Democrats have to admit her. Well,

221
00:13:31,177 --> 00:13:36,377
Speaker 1: sometimes walls work, and in fact walls work in general. Yeah, no,

222
00:13:36,457 --> 00:13:39,857
Speaker 1: I mean that's definitely the case there. That segment is

223
00:13:39,977 --> 00:13:42,137
Speaker 1: known as the Yuma gamp. I was down there in

224
00:13:42,257 --> 00:13:46,257
Speaker 1: March and agents told me that they get so many

225
00:13:46,337 --> 00:13:49,537
Speaker 1: people come through there that you know, there's no agents

226
00:13:49,577 --> 00:13:51,577
Speaker 1: to pick them up, so the aliens will, you know,

227
00:13:51,617 --> 00:13:53,337
Speaker 1: stop and wait. When I was there, there were two

228
00:13:53,377 --> 00:13:55,657
Speaker 1: folding chairs and some water for them to drink while

229
00:13:55,697 --> 00:13:58,697
Speaker 1: they were waiting to get arrested. But you know, if

230
00:13:58,737 --> 00:14:01,457
Speaker 1: nobody shows something, just taken uber into Yuma, they get

231
00:14:01,497 --> 00:14:03,177
Speaker 1: a meal, they get cleaned up, and then they turn

232
00:14:03,257 --> 00:14:06,577
Speaker 1: themselves over to the Board Patrol. The reason that DHS

233
00:14:06,657 --> 00:14:09,737
Speaker 1: asserts it is closing the wall is to save lives,

234
00:14:10,297 --> 00:14:12,977
Speaker 1: slots and first responders, and it plainly will do that.

235
00:14:13,537 --> 00:14:16,497
Speaker 1: But I think that the bigger reason is because Senator

236
00:14:16,577 --> 00:14:22,137
Speaker 1: Mark Kelly, who's up for reelection in Arizona in November, it's,

237
00:14:22,177 --> 00:14:25,897
Speaker 1: you know, facing strong headwinds because Joe Biden, especially his

238
00:14:25,977 --> 00:14:30,977
Speaker 1: immigration policies, are unpopular in the Grand Canyon state. So

239
00:14:31,657 --> 00:14:36,257
Speaker 1: again I'm grateful that they're doing it. Jeanpierre, the White

240
00:14:36,297 --> 00:14:39,577
Speaker 1: House Press Secretary, five times on Friday to night that

241
00:14:39,617 --> 00:14:42,697
Speaker 1: they were closing the wall, and yet she's don't contended

242
00:14:42,737 --> 00:14:46,057
Speaker 1: that they were doing it to save lives. Here is

243
00:14:46,097 --> 00:14:49,857
Speaker 1: Karen Jean Pierre speaking of the White House Press Secretary

244
00:14:50,417 --> 00:14:55,017
Speaker 1: on whether state should be involved in immigration issues, policing

245
00:14:55,057 --> 00:14:57,937
Speaker 1: the border, et cetera. Watch this, Governor Abbitt and Texas

246
00:14:58,057 --> 00:15:01,577
Speaker 1: sufficient and effective order to say, calling on the National

247
00:15:01,577 --> 00:15:05,337
Speaker 1: Guard kind officials there to apprehend the undocumented immigrants. So

248
00:15:05,337 --> 00:15:09,857
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if the administration is planning any legal response,

249
00:15:10,577 --> 00:15:13,977
Speaker 1: if you'll prohibit the National Guards. So I'll say this,

250
00:15:14,057 --> 00:15:18,537
Speaker 1: the Immigration enforcement is a federal authority and states should

251
00:15:18,577 --> 00:15:23,537
Speaker 1: not be mandating it meddling in it. Okay, So what

252
00:15:23,737 --> 00:15:27,977
Speaker 1: is the legal reality here? What can states do? There

253
00:15:28,017 --> 00:15:30,337
Speaker 1: has been some deployment of National Guard, for example, by

254
00:15:30,377 --> 00:15:33,737
Speaker 1: Texas the southern border. I hear about these state initiatives

255
00:15:33,737 --> 00:15:37,017
Speaker 1: specifically in Texas and Arizona, obviously not in California, to

256
00:15:37,097 --> 00:15:39,857
Speaker 1: do something about this. What can they do? Are what's

257
00:15:39,857 --> 00:15:45,857
Speaker 1: the truth about where the states powers? You're stop and start? Well, unfortunately,

258
00:15:46,377 --> 00:15:49,577
Speaker 1: the states don't have the ability to deport any alien

259
00:15:49,617 --> 00:15:52,737
Speaker 1: back to Mexico. They're wholly depended upon DHS. They're wholly

260
00:15:52,737 --> 00:15:55,657
Speaker 1: dependent on the Biden administration to do that. What they

261
00:15:55,697 --> 00:15:58,617
Speaker 1: could do is what the Biden administration refuses to do

262
00:15:58,697 --> 00:16:01,817
Speaker 1: when that is to deter illegal migrants from the United States.

263
00:16:01,857 --> 00:16:06,417
Speaker 1: In fact, back on May one, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorcas

264
00:16:06,497 --> 00:16:08,657
Speaker 1: was asked on Fox News Sunday whether it was the

265
00:16:08,737 --> 00:16:12,057
Speaker 1: objective to the bidom and istration to limit the number

266
00:16:12,097 --> 00:16:15,537
Speaker 1: of aliens entering illegally, and he said no. Their job

267
00:16:15,697 --> 00:16:20,177
Speaker 1: was to ensure safe, orderly, and legal pathways for migrants

268
00:16:20,177 --> 00:16:23,017
Speaker 1: to access or legal system, which means that the Biden

269
00:16:23,017 --> 00:16:26,377
Speaker 1: administration doesn't want to deter anybody from entering illegally. They

270
00:16:26,457 --> 00:16:29,057
Speaker 1: want to have as many foreign nationals as want to

271
00:16:29,217 --> 00:16:31,657
Speaker 1: and who can get here apply for asylum in the

272
00:16:31,737 --> 00:16:34,137
Speaker 1: United States. Is there anything that you would advise the

273
00:16:34,217 --> 00:16:38,497
Speaker 1: governors of Texas and Arizona respectively to do in order

274
00:16:38,497 --> 00:16:40,617
Speaker 1: to try to help secure the border in some way.

275
00:16:41,857 --> 00:16:46,417
Speaker 1: I was actually inbedded in August with Texas State troopers

276
00:16:46,617 --> 00:16:48,697
Speaker 1: and they're doing exactly what they need to do. They're

277
00:16:48,737 --> 00:16:51,777
Speaker 1: looking for drug smugglers, they're looking for migrant smugglers. They're

278
00:16:51,817 --> 00:16:54,617
Speaker 1: doing the job that border patrol agents normally do in

279
00:16:54,657 --> 00:16:57,057
Speaker 1: which they could be doing right now, rather than warming

280
00:16:57,097 --> 00:17:02,617
Speaker 1: baby bottles and filling out papers. So I would advise

281
00:17:03,457 --> 00:17:07,257
Speaker 1: the governor of Arizona, Governor Ducy, to do exactly what

282
00:17:07,377 --> 00:17:11,537
Speaker 1: his colleague in Texas is doing. Rush resources down to

283
00:17:11,577 --> 00:17:14,177
Speaker 1: the border, try to help out border patrol, and keep

284
00:17:14,217 --> 00:17:17,537
Speaker 1: putting pressure through the courts on the administration to actually

285
00:17:17,577 --> 00:17:20,217
Speaker 1: enforce the law. Also wanted to know Art, what can

286
00:17:20,217 --> 00:17:24,937
Speaker 1: you tell us about the status of interior enforcement of

287
00:17:24,977 --> 00:17:29,377
Speaker 1: our immigration laws onto the Biden administration. So Judge Drew

288
00:17:29,457 --> 00:17:32,817
Speaker 1: Timpton down in Texas in a case called Texas versus

289
00:17:32,897 --> 00:17:38,177
Speaker 1: United States brought by Texas and Louisiana has vacated Alexandre

290
00:17:38,257 --> 00:17:43,617
Speaker 1: may orcuss September thirty non enforcement memo that basically called

291
00:17:43,697 --> 00:17:46,497
Speaker 1: off the vast majority of enforcement in the United States.

292
00:17:47,097 --> 00:17:50,137
Speaker 1: They Biden administration sought a stay of that from the

293
00:17:50,177 --> 00:17:52,937
Speaker 1: Fifth Circuit, which denied it in a pretty sharply worded order,

294
00:17:53,737 --> 00:17:55,657
Speaker 1: and then asked the Supreme Court to stay it, and

295
00:17:55,697 --> 00:17:57,337
Speaker 1: they refused to do that as well. But what the

296
00:17:57,377 --> 00:18:00,777
Speaker 1: Supreme Court agreed to do was to hear the appeal

297
00:18:00,857 --> 00:18:04,417
Speaker 1: from that decision. The Biden administration's appeal from that decision

298
00:18:04,737 --> 00:18:07,857
Speaker 1: bypassing the circuit board and hearing it directly, and that

299
00:18:07,897 --> 00:18:09,937
Speaker 1: will happen the first week in December. But for the

300
00:18:10,177 --> 00:18:13,737
Speaker 1: time being, we returned to the status quo prior to

301
00:18:13,777 --> 00:18:17,097
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. If we should have, as it relates

302
00:18:17,177 --> 00:18:20,217
Speaker 1: to immigration enforcement in the United States, whether the Biden

303
00:18:20,217 --> 00:18:23,897
Speaker 1: administration is actually letting that happen, however, it's a completely definition.

304
00:18:24,697 --> 00:18:27,377
Speaker 1: Our appreciate the aspertise is always thanks for being with us.

305
00:18:28,537 --> 00:18:31,857
Speaker 1: Thank you, Buck. We'll be right back with more of

306
00:18:31,897 --> 00:18:41,577
Speaker 1: this special edition of Hold the Line. Does the current

307
00:18:41,697 --> 00:18:45,177
Speaker 1: nationwide shortage of infantformula have you asking what's next? Did

308
00:18:45,217 --> 00:18:46,857
Speaker 1: you know that nearly one hundred percent of our nation's

309
00:18:46,857 --> 00:18:49,657
Speaker 1: supply of antibiotics is produced outside the United States, mainly

310
00:18:49,697 --> 00:18:51,977
Speaker 1: in China and India. If we can't control our own

311
00:18:52,017 --> 00:18:54,537
Speaker 1: domestically produced baby formula, what about all the life saving

312
00:18:54,577 --> 00:18:58,217
Speaker 1: medications produced overseas? Any experts predict that if there were

313
00:18:58,257 --> 00:19:01,577
Speaker 1: a supply chain disruption in the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacies could

314
00:19:01,657 --> 00:19:04,217
Speaker 1: run out of antibiotics in a matter of weeks. Thankfully,

315
00:19:04,257 --> 00:19:06,217
Speaker 1: there's a new service to help you prepare for such

316
00:19:06,217 --> 00:19:08,417
Speaker 1: an event. Have you heard of the Chase case. It's

317
00:19:08,417 --> 00:19:10,737
Speaker 1: a pack of five different courses of tobiotics that you

326
00:19:51,537 --> 00:19:54,897
Speaker 1: our national security resources and social services, but it's also

327
00:19:55,017 --> 00:19:59,497
Speaker 1: feeling a deadly drug epidemic, specifically proliferation of fentonel and

328
00:19:59,657 --> 00:20:03,337
Speaker 1: other synthetic opioids. As long as the Biden administration continues

329
00:20:03,377 --> 00:20:06,377
Speaker 1: to ignore the source of the drugs, the bodies will

330
00:20:06,457 --> 00:20:10,297
Speaker 1: tragically pile up. In this special edition of the Buck Brief,

331
00:20:10,297 --> 00:20:14,097
Speaker 1: I'll explain how open borders are feeding America's deadly drug habit.

332
00:20:19,977 --> 00:20:24,657
Speaker 1: Look it's very straightforward, and this actually brings in the

333
00:20:24,857 --> 00:20:27,417
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party as well. The Chinese Communist parady sells

334
00:20:27,497 --> 00:20:29,857
Speaker 1: precursor chemicals. So they've been trying to push back on

335
00:20:29,977 --> 00:20:32,497
Speaker 1: this in recent years to the Mexican drug cartels. The

336
00:20:32,537 --> 00:20:40,017
Speaker 1: Mexican drug cartels create these opioid which are highly addictive

337
00:20:40,177 --> 00:20:43,177
Speaker 1: and can be very lethal, very easy to overdose on them.

338
00:20:43,497 --> 00:20:46,617
Speaker 1: They're making enormous profits billions and billions of dollars from

339
00:20:46,657 --> 00:20:49,337
Speaker 1: this by moving those pills they're making. Remember, they don't

340
00:20:49,337 --> 00:20:53,537
Speaker 1: have to grow them. There's not specific conditions outdoors. It's

341
00:20:53,617 --> 00:20:56,617
Speaker 1: not like a coca plant or even heroin poppy. They

342
00:20:56,697 --> 00:21:00,977
Speaker 1: can make this in that's in these facilities that the

343
00:21:01,057 --> 00:21:04,417
Speaker 1: cartels run in Mexico and south of our border, and

344
00:21:04,617 --> 00:21:08,697
Speaker 1: then they use our porous border to run these drugs over,

345
00:21:08,817 --> 00:21:11,537
Speaker 1: whether it's in vehicles or on foot, they bring them

346
00:21:11,617 --> 00:21:15,657
Speaker 1: over and they are poisoning the American people. Here's a

347
00:21:15,777 --> 00:21:19,657
Speaker 1: graph that shows the rise in drug overdoses since twenty eleven. Okay,

348
00:21:19,737 --> 00:21:23,497
Speaker 1: this really puts it into real visual contrast for you.

349
00:21:23,857 --> 00:21:26,937
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, last year we have complete data,

350
00:21:27,217 --> 00:21:30,497
Speaker 1: we had one hundred and seven thousand drug overdoses. Over

351
00:21:30,657 --> 00:21:34,097
Speaker 1: seventy one thousand of those were from fentyal and synthetic opioids,

352
00:21:34,417 --> 00:21:38,457
Speaker 1: up from fifty seven thousand the year before in twenty twenty. Okay,

353
00:21:38,577 --> 00:21:41,777
Speaker 1: so over one hundred and seven thousand drug overdose. That's

354
00:21:41,777 --> 00:21:46,097
Speaker 1: a stunning number. It's outrageous. This should be considered a

355
00:21:46,297 --> 00:21:52,697
Speaker 1: true national security and national health emergency. But to deal

356
00:21:52,777 --> 00:21:55,617
Speaker 1: with the emergency, to look at the source and try

357
00:21:55,697 --> 00:21:59,377
Speaker 1: to stop it, you would have to deal with the porous,

358
00:21:59,697 --> 00:22:03,057
Speaker 1: so poorous southern border of the United States with Mexico.

359
00:22:03,857 --> 00:22:06,977
Speaker 1: You would have to have more resources for border patrol,

360
00:22:07,377 --> 00:22:12,977
Speaker 1: more drones doing surveillance, more assistance from National Guard. These

361
00:22:13,057 --> 00:22:15,257
Speaker 1: are the maneuvers that you would take. These are the

362
00:22:15,337 --> 00:22:20,057
Speaker 1: steps if the real goal here was to bring down

363
00:22:20,337 --> 00:22:22,817
Speaker 1: the flow of these illegal drugs in the United States.

364
00:22:23,297 --> 00:22:25,537
Speaker 1: There's a map that shows, by the way, how fentyl

365
00:22:25,537 --> 00:22:29,177
Speaker 1: actually flows into the US. High purity fentyl is illicitly

366
00:22:29,217 --> 00:22:32,057
Speaker 1: manufactured in China, as I said, sold through online markets

367
00:22:32,097 --> 00:22:35,977
Speaker 1: to Mexican cartels, and then the fentanyl is mixed with

368
00:22:36,137 --> 00:22:40,177
Speaker 1: other illicit drugs in Mexico, reducing the purity and pressed

369
00:22:40,217 --> 00:22:44,097
Speaker 1: into counterfeit prescription pills or mixed with heroin. It's then

370
00:22:44,177 --> 00:22:47,337
Speaker 1: smuggled over the border and sold on the street. So

371
00:22:48,097 --> 00:22:51,457
Speaker 1: that's also something that's very dangerous that the cartels do

372
00:22:51,657 --> 00:22:55,337
Speaker 1: with these already dangerous substances. They mark them as though

373
00:22:55,897 --> 00:22:59,817
Speaker 1: they are pharmaceutical gray drugs, because there are prescription opioids

374
00:22:59,897 --> 00:23:03,777
Speaker 1: that people take for pain predominantly, and they're very powerful

375
00:23:03,777 --> 00:23:05,777
Speaker 1: and they have to be used very sparingly because they're

376
00:23:05,817 --> 00:23:09,537
Speaker 1: so addictive. But people feel much safer taking a pill

377
00:23:09,657 --> 00:23:11,857
Speaker 1: that has mark as though it comes from a major

378
00:23:11,897 --> 00:23:14,737
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical company instead of something that was made in a

379
00:23:14,857 --> 00:23:17,937
Speaker 1: vat by the Mexican drug cartels who don't care how

380
00:23:18,017 --> 00:23:20,137
Speaker 1: many people die from the product as long as the

381
00:23:20,337 --> 00:23:24,657
Speaker 1: cash flow continues. And so that is the system, that

382
00:23:24,777 --> 00:23:26,337
Speaker 1: is the reality of what's going on right now. Just

383
00:23:26,577 --> 00:23:31,577
Speaker 1: last month, the DA made the biggest fentonnel bust in history,

384
00:23:32,017 --> 00:23:35,057
Speaker 1: seizing over a million pills in Inglewood, California, and the

385
00:23:35,137 --> 00:23:38,977
Speaker 1: pills were linked to the Sinaloa cartel. Okay, the pills

386
00:23:39,017 --> 00:23:43,577
Speaker 1: also had an estimated street value of fifteen to twenty

387
00:23:44,257 --> 00:23:47,857
Speaker 1: million dollars. All right, So that's just giving you a

388
00:23:47,937 --> 00:23:50,097
Speaker 1: sense of this the biggest bust they've had in history,

389
00:23:50,177 --> 00:23:54,697
Speaker 1: a million pills in Inglewood, California. Because the cartels know

390
00:23:54,937 --> 00:23:59,977
Speaker 1: it is easy right now to move that kind of volume.

391
00:24:00,497 --> 00:24:04,737
Speaker 1: They know that with the Biden administration not actually wanting

392
00:24:04,857 --> 00:24:08,217
Speaker 1: to clamp down on the border, not willing to take

393
00:24:08,297 --> 00:24:11,337
Speaker 1: the steps to make the entire border more secure to

394
00:24:11,537 --> 00:24:15,617
Speaker 1: tackle the lawlessness, and with all the border patrol assets

395
00:24:15,737 --> 00:24:20,097
Speaker 1: increasingly doing the humanitarian mission of saving people from drowning

396
00:24:20,297 --> 00:24:22,137
Speaker 1: or heat exposure who are trying to come over to

397
00:24:22,137 --> 00:24:24,617
Speaker 1: the end of the country illegally, dealing with people showing

398
00:24:24,697 --> 00:24:28,777
Speaker 1: up with serious medical conditions, mothers with babies that are

399
00:24:28,977 --> 00:24:32,417
Speaker 1: in desperate need of formula and food, And that's what

400
00:24:32,537 --> 00:24:35,937
Speaker 1: border patrol is doing. Well. When they're doing those critical things,

401
00:24:36,937 --> 00:24:38,817
Speaker 1: they can't which is not really supposed to be their

402
00:24:38,857 --> 00:24:42,737
Speaker 1: mission set, they can't actually be as focused on or

403
00:24:42,777 --> 00:24:46,697
Speaker 1: anywhere near as capable at the interdiction mission of stopping

404
00:24:46,737 --> 00:24:50,617
Speaker 1: the fentanyl from coming the United States and poisoning our people.

405
00:24:51,537 --> 00:24:54,857
Speaker 1: I mean, even the FBI director Chrispherrey back in June

406
00:24:55,297 --> 00:24:59,257
Speaker 1: said the drugs coming across our southern border are an epidemic.

407
00:24:59,377 --> 00:25:02,977
Speaker 1: Watch fist to say that I totally agree that the

408
00:25:03,497 --> 00:25:08,617
Speaker 1: drug issues related to the border are extremely significant. That fentyl.

409
00:25:09,497 --> 00:25:12,977
Speaker 1: The problem with fentyl fentyl coming into this country from elsewhere,

410
00:25:13,417 --> 00:25:18,137
Speaker 1: including from the Southwest border is something that I think

411
00:25:18,177 --> 00:25:24,977
Speaker 1: can fairly be described as an epidemic, and yeah, an epidemic. Yeah,

412
00:25:25,137 --> 00:25:29,057
Speaker 1: another epidemic, one that's taking lives of people all across

413
00:25:29,137 --> 00:25:34,697
Speaker 1: the country. And this needs urgent government action. But the

414
00:25:34,817 --> 00:25:39,217
Speaker 1: Democrats are focused on this problem. Some state governors, fortunately,

415
00:25:39,297 --> 00:25:41,777
Speaker 1: are stepping up. Governor Ron De Santis, for example, says

416
00:25:41,817 --> 00:25:45,737
Speaker 1: that the open border that allows for the massive importation

417
00:25:46,137 --> 00:25:49,337
Speaker 1: of these drugs is devastating for his state of Florida.

418
00:25:49,417 --> 00:25:52,977
Speaker 1: Wash fence and all overdoses in our state, we're seeing

419
00:25:53,097 --> 00:25:57,897
Speaker 1: more than we ever have. Fentanyl overdoses account for almost

420
00:25:57,937 --> 00:26:01,697
Speaker 1: seventy percent of all overdoses in the state of Florida,

421
00:26:02,017 --> 00:26:05,697
Speaker 1: and since twenty fifteen, fence and all related overdose deaths

422
00:26:05,737 --> 00:26:09,857
Speaker 1: have increased by almost eight hundred percent. This year, Brevard

423
00:26:10,057 --> 00:26:13,017
Speaker 1: Any Sheriff's Office, with the Central Florida High Intensity Drug

424
00:26:13,097 --> 00:26:17,377
Speaker 1: Trafficking Area Team has sees ten kilograms of fentanyl ten

425
00:26:17,537 --> 00:26:22,017
Speaker 1: kilograms of fentanyls, enough to kill five million Floridians. So

426
00:26:22,177 --> 00:26:24,257
Speaker 1: this is the same amount of fentanyl sees in this

427
00:26:24,417 --> 00:26:28,657
Speaker 1: region during all of twenty nineteen. So don't let anybody

428
00:26:28,817 --> 00:26:31,897
Speaker 1: tell you that that open border is not affecting our

429
00:26:31,977 --> 00:26:34,017
Speaker 1: communities here in the state of Florida. It is having

430
00:26:34,057 --> 00:26:38,457
Speaker 1: a devastating impact, torrible. What's going on? What's the Biden

431
00:26:38,457 --> 00:26:40,897
Speaker 1: administration doing about this? It is worth asking that question. Well,

432
00:26:41,177 --> 00:26:43,337
Speaker 1: the attitude of the Bid administration, as we've seen when

433
00:26:43,337 --> 00:26:46,617
Speaker 1: it comes to drugs in general, is make it easier

434
00:26:46,657 --> 00:26:49,497
Speaker 1: for people to do really dangerous illegal drugs. Don't let

435
00:26:49,617 --> 00:26:52,537
Speaker 1: law enforcement and crack down on this. Here's a man

436
00:26:52,617 --> 00:26:56,417
Speaker 1: in California showing off a government drug kid including heroin, needles,

437
00:26:56,697 --> 00:27:00,697
Speaker 1: meth and crack pipes. Watch so every Tuesday and Friday

438
00:27:02,697 --> 00:27:05,137
Speaker 1: that have a Catholic church that gives this stuff out.

439
00:27:06,257 --> 00:27:08,097
Speaker 1: This is where we live in at y'all. And this

440
00:27:08,257 --> 00:27:10,617
Speaker 1: is what the government's doing. Joe Biden say he's spent

441
00:27:10,737 --> 00:27:14,897
Speaker 1: six one million dollars or paraphernalia for drugs. And this

442
00:27:15,057 --> 00:27:19,337
Speaker 1: is what it looks like. It says being alive. This

443
00:27:19,537 --> 00:27:21,897
Speaker 1: is a meth pipe. Yep, right here with this bubble thing.

444
00:27:22,057 --> 00:27:23,817
Speaker 1: I guess you put the metho near. This is a

445
00:27:23,897 --> 00:27:27,257
Speaker 1: crack pipe. Yeah, okay. These are all instructions on how

446
00:27:27,297 --> 00:27:30,177
Speaker 1: to overdose treatment and education. These are this is the

447
00:27:30,297 --> 00:27:31,977
Speaker 1: needle in here I'm not going to open this sound.

448
00:27:32,457 --> 00:27:34,057
Speaker 1: That's what heroin, Yes for hero Win. It has an

449
00:27:34,057 --> 00:27:39,177
Speaker 1: alcohol past. And these things are like a black and

450
00:27:39,257 --> 00:27:41,337
Speaker 1: mouth filter that you put on the crack pipe so

451
00:27:41,417 --> 00:27:44,977
Speaker 1: you don't think no one's aliable, so you don't get sick. Yeah,

452
00:27:45,937 --> 00:27:48,297
Speaker 1: all right. Communities around the country are facing the consequences

453
00:27:48,297 --> 00:27:50,857
Speaker 1: of the Biden administrations failure at the border. Nobody knows

454
00:27:50,897 --> 00:27:52,657
Speaker 1: that better than men and women a border patrol. When

455
00:27:52,657 --> 00:27:54,377
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll speak the Vice President of the

456
00:27:54,457 --> 00:27:57,817
Speaker 1: National Border Patrol Council, Chris Cabrera, about what he's seeing

457
00:27:58,057 --> 00:28:07,417
Speaker 1: on the ground. If you're looking for a delicious treat,

458
00:28:07,457 --> 00:28:09,177
Speaker 1: but you don't want all the fat and calories, then

459
00:28:09,217 --> 00:28:11,817
Speaker 1: you have to try a built bar. Built bars are

460
00:28:11,897 --> 00:28:14,657
Speaker 1: high protein, low carb, low calorie, low fat, and they

461
00:28:14,737 --> 00:28:17,937
Speaker 1: taste amazing. When I first tried them, I was blown away.

462
00:28:17,977 --> 00:28:21,057
Speaker 1: They're actually good for you. Built bars are gluten free

463
00:28:21,137 --> 00:28:23,977
Speaker 1: and keto friendly, and they're made with collagen protein, which

464
00:28:23,977 --> 00:28:27,617
Speaker 1: your body absorbs more efficiently and provides tons of health benefits.

465
00:28:27,857 --> 00:28:30,817
Speaker 1: They're all covered in one real chocolate and they have

466
00:28:30,897 --> 00:28:34,377
Speaker 1: incredible flavors like mint, brownie, coconut, salted caramel, cookies and

467
00:28:34,457 --> 00:28:37,857
Speaker 1: cream turo peanut butter brownie, raspberry banana cream piele. This

468
00:28:38,017 --> 00:28:40,897
Speaker 1: goes on the best part. Built bars taste better than

469
00:28:40,977 --> 00:28:43,777
Speaker 1: candy bars. I'm telling you they're amazing. Try and mix

470
00:28:43,857 --> 00:28:46,457
Speaker 1: box so you can see the full variety. They're delicious though,

471
00:28:46,457 --> 00:28:48,097
Speaker 1: all of them, and new flavors are coming out all

472

477
00:29:19,137 --> 00:29:23,777
Speaker 1: one hundred migrants. Just a snapshot of the record high

478
00:29:23,857 --> 00:29:26,737
Speaker 1: numbers agents are seeing in this area outside of Eagle Pass.

479
00:29:27,137 --> 00:29:29,577
Speaker 1: This is not normal traffic for the Delrio sector. It's

480
00:29:29,617 --> 00:29:33,097
Speaker 1: something that this sector has never seen before. Deliria Sector

481
00:29:33,137 --> 00:29:36,217
Speaker 1: Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens says some groups are exceeding

482
00:29:36,337 --> 00:29:40,097
Speaker 1: five hundred. Not since the Haitian migration in September have

483
00:29:40,217 --> 00:29:42,977
Speaker 1: we seen those type of daily numbers. We don't have

484
00:29:43,257 --> 00:29:45,617
Speaker 1: the organic resources available to us right now to deal

485
00:29:45,657 --> 00:29:49,377
Speaker 1: with the flow that we're grim. Assessment from US Customs

486
00:29:49,417 --> 00:29:53,817
Speaker 1: and Border Protection Chief Jason Owens, despite CBPS please for

487
00:29:53,897 --> 00:29:57,937
Speaker 1: additional resources. The Biden administration has provided little support for

488
00:29:58,017 --> 00:30:00,657
Speaker 1: agents who are clearly overwhelmed by the volume of illegal

489
00:30:00,697 --> 00:30:05,097
Speaker 1: immigrants crossing over the southern border. Meanwhile, DHS Secretary Alejandro

490
00:30:05,177 --> 00:30:08,337
Speaker 1: Majorcas appears to be in complete denial about the crisis.

491
00:30:08,457 --> 00:30:11,457
Speaker 1: Take a look just to question, do you think it's working?

492
00:30:13,817 --> 00:30:16,937
Speaker 1: I think that we are doing a good job. We

493
00:30:17,097 --> 00:30:22,217
Speaker 1: need to do better, right I mean now. Vice President

494
00:30:22,217 --> 00:30:25,617
Speaker 1: of the National Border Patrol Council, Chris Cabrera, Chris, thanks

495
00:30:25,657 --> 00:30:28,817
Speaker 1: again for being with us, Thanks for having me. So

496
00:30:29,057 --> 00:30:31,137
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk back in June about the

497
00:30:31,257 --> 00:30:33,097
Speaker 1: end of Title forty two and how that could lead

498
00:30:33,137 --> 00:30:36,017
Speaker 1: to a surge in migrants. First off, where are we

499
00:30:36,217 --> 00:30:39,257
Speaker 1: with regard to Title forty two, And in terms of

500
00:30:39,377 --> 00:30:43,377
Speaker 1: the surge over the summer, what are the numbers shown us? Yeah,

501
00:30:43,417 --> 00:30:45,657
Speaker 1: you know, the numbers are up. I don't have in

502
00:30:45,777 --> 00:30:47,977
Speaker 1: front of me. I know they're they're continuing to climb.

503
00:30:48,137 --> 00:30:51,177
Speaker 1: I think we're hitting record numbers this month. I know

504
00:30:51,257 --> 00:30:54,897
Speaker 1: we did last month. I don't have no idea what

505
00:30:55,537 --> 00:30:59,497
Speaker 1: mister Minorcas is talking about. Apparently he doesn't either, you know,

506
00:30:59,657 --> 00:31:01,097
Speaker 1: I think he needs to spend a little bit of

507
00:31:01,177 --> 00:31:03,937
Speaker 1: time down here on the border and figure out what

508
00:31:04,057 --> 00:31:05,977
Speaker 1: his job is before he can do a better job.

509
00:31:07,297 --> 00:31:11,497
Speaker 1: He did admit this was interesting that CBP morale is down.

510
00:31:11,697 --> 00:31:15,297
Speaker 1: Watch this so, um, I will tell you the frustration

511
00:31:16,177 --> 00:31:19,257
Speaker 1: of the individuals, you know, with the badges on the

512
00:31:19,337 --> 00:31:23,417
Speaker 1: ground and the whole strip firearms is earned. Yeah, I

513
00:31:23,857 --> 00:31:25,817
Speaker 1: just we need to be very clear about that. In

514
00:31:25,857 --> 00:31:29,337
Speaker 1: our Border patrol agents. You know, their morale is down

515
00:31:29,417 --> 00:31:32,977
Speaker 1: and I understand why. Okay, he doesn't really say why

516
00:31:33,217 --> 00:31:36,617
Speaker 1: why is morale down? Well, I think morale is down

517
00:31:36,657 --> 00:31:39,137
Speaker 1: because who we have in that position. I mean, he's

518
00:31:39,177 --> 00:31:41,617
Speaker 1: not doing his job, He's not letting us do our job.

519
00:31:42,617 --> 00:31:44,617
Speaker 1: I think he has a lot of explaining to do,

520
00:31:45,137 --> 00:31:50,257
Speaker 1: especially to his agents and CDP officers. Um, you know

521
00:31:50,377 --> 00:31:51,897
Speaker 1: what he's going to do to fix it and actually

522
00:31:51,937 --> 00:31:54,697
Speaker 1: put a plan in place and actually fix it instead

523
00:31:54,777 --> 00:31:58,537
Speaker 1: of just um walking the comp towing the company line.

524
00:31:59,817 --> 00:32:02,977
Speaker 1: Is it more difficult would you say to recruit for

525
00:32:03,137 --> 00:32:05,097
Speaker 1: Border patrol these days? You know, we often see these

526
00:32:05,137 --> 00:32:08,497
Speaker 1: stories Chris about in the aftermath of the defund the

527
00:32:08,537 --> 00:32:11,337
Speaker 1: police movement, as well as spike in violent crime in

528
00:32:11,337 --> 00:32:14,857
Speaker 1: a lot of cities from these end mass incarceration policies,

529
00:32:14,857 --> 00:32:17,297
Speaker 1: it's harder to get the police. For say, in New

530
00:32:17,377 --> 00:32:20,137
Speaker 1: York City, they haven't gotten anywhere near the recruits they want.

531
00:32:20,457 --> 00:32:23,337
Speaker 1: Is Border Patrol facing any of those similar issues or

532
00:32:23,697 --> 00:32:26,217
Speaker 1: retention issues with keeping people on the job as a

533
00:32:26,297 --> 00:32:29,497
Speaker 1: result of all this that most definitely, I think everywhere

534
00:32:29,497 --> 00:32:33,457
Speaker 1: in law enforcement is feeling the strain, and with Border Patrol,

535
00:32:33,577 --> 00:32:36,497
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to get recruits normally when we're

536
00:32:36,537 --> 00:32:38,377
Speaker 1: allowed to do our job, and when we're not allowed

537
00:32:38,377 --> 00:32:41,297
Speaker 1: to do our job, it's almost impossible where we're losing

538
00:32:41,417 --> 00:32:44,897
Speaker 1: people faster than we can hire. When agents are eligible

539
00:32:44,937 --> 00:32:49,377
Speaker 1: for retirement, they're gone the very first available minute that

540
00:32:49,497 --> 00:32:52,217
Speaker 1: they're they're able, they're gone. They're out the door, whether

541
00:32:52,337 --> 00:32:55,177
Speaker 1: to just retire or for greener pastures. We have young

542
00:32:55,257 --> 00:32:58,497
Speaker 1: agents that are applying to different agencies or leaving law

543
00:32:58,537 --> 00:33:03,297
Speaker 1: enforcement altogether. Based on what's going on right now. What

544
00:33:03,377 --> 00:33:05,897
Speaker 1: do you make of the Biden administration's recent decision to

545
00:33:06,217 --> 00:33:11,177
Speaker 1: finish some portions of the border wall in Arizona, Chris, Well,

546
00:33:11,257 --> 00:33:14,017
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a good thing that he's

547
00:33:14,057 --> 00:33:16,897
Speaker 1: he's finally getting around to doing that. But we've wasted

548
00:33:16,937 --> 00:33:20,577
Speaker 1: what almost two years by not doing anything. Um, there's

549
00:33:20,657 --> 00:33:26,137
Speaker 1: areas here in our local area responsibility where where we

550
00:33:26,257 --> 00:33:29,177
Speaker 1: have big gaps in the walls, big holes in the wall.

551
00:33:30,137 --> 00:33:32,537
Speaker 1: You know, it's about time he did something. But I

552
00:33:32,657 --> 00:33:34,497
Speaker 1: think he's been behind the eight ball on this. He's

553
00:33:34,617 --> 00:33:37,377
Speaker 1: way too far behind. You know, he's been paying people

554
00:33:37,457 --> 00:33:39,617
Speaker 1: to not work and then finish those walls, and now

555
00:33:39,697 --> 00:33:41,937
Speaker 1: he wants to get it done. And obviously it's a

556
00:33:42,017 --> 00:33:44,577
Speaker 1: political stunt. Who knows if he'll follow through with it.

557
00:33:44,697 --> 00:33:46,817
Speaker 1: He's he hasn't kept his word. I'm pretty much anything

558
00:33:46,857 --> 00:33:49,457
Speaker 1: so far. There's also a new report at The Daily

559
00:33:49,537 --> 00:33:53,737
Speaker 1: Caller that shows the number of illegal immigrants rescued by

560
00:33:53,857 --> 00:33:57,297
Speaker 1: Border patrol I Soordia record highs. From the piece, there

561
00:33:57,337 --> 00:33:59,777
Speaker 1: were eighteen thousand, eight hundred and eighty one illegal aliens

562
00:33:59,817 --> 00:34:02,457
Speaker 1: rescued and six hundred and fifty illegal alien debts between

563
00:34:02,497 --> 00:34:05,297
Speaker 1: October twenty twenty one in July, according to data the

564
00:34:05,337 --> 00:34:09,297
Speaker 1: Daily Caller News Foundation obtained from a DHS source. UM,

565
00:34:10,337 --> 00:34:12,057
Speaker 1: are you are you seeing that in your sector? Are

566
00:34:12,097 --> 00:34:14,377
Speaker 1: there are there far more rescues? I mean just because

567
00:34:14,417 --> 00:34:16,657
Speaker 1: the volume of people, but also it seems there's an

568
00:34:16,697 --> 00:34:20,137
Speaker 1: increased desperation to get in now while the policies are

569
00:34:20,177 --> 00:34:22,777
Speaker 1: as lax as they are. Yeah, you know, we're we're

570
00:34:22,777 --> 00:34:25,177
Speaker 1: seeing more people come and obviously with with more people,

571
00:34:25,217 --> 00:34:27,537
Speaker 1: they're going to be more people that that succumbed to

572
00:34:28,217 --> 00:34:32,657
Speaker 1: illness and injury, whether it be snake bides, dehydration and drownings. Um.

573
00:34:32,777 --> 00:34:35,857
Speaker 1: And and that drownings are not just in the river itself.

574
00:34:35,937 --> 00:34:38,937
Speaker 1: There's canals that they cross and uh, you know, small

575
00:34:39,017 --> 00:34:42,377
Speaker 1: ponds and um, we're seeing a big uptick in uh

576
00:34:43,377 --> 00:34:46,897
Speaker 1: deaths of migrants that that you know, not necessarily in custody,

577
00:34:46,937 --> 00:34:48,937
Speaker 1: but that we've come across that have already expired in

578
00:34:48,977 --> 00:34:52,417
Speaker 1: the brush. Not to mention the work our our agents

579
00:34:52,457 --> 00:34:55,937
Speaker 1: and our EMPs do rescuing people. And what can you

580
00:34:55,977 --> 00:35:01,177
Speaker 1: tell us about cartel activity and the financial benefit from

581
00:35:01,257 --> 00:35:03,737
Speaker 1: the to the cartels from from all of this human

582
00:35:03,777 --> 00:35:07,697
Speaker 1: trafficking and drug smuggling that's going on. You know with

583
00:35:07,977 --> 00:35:10,377
Speaker 1: the UH, as far as the cartel goes, I mean

584
00:35:10,457 --> 00:35:13,097
Speaker 1: for them, business is good. Business is booming right now.

585
00:35:13,817 --> 00:35:16,377
Speaker 1: Our drug seizures aren't nearly what they should be because

586
00:35:16,417 --> 00:35:20,897
Speaker 1: we're busy babysitting. So they know that they have high

587
00:35:21,017 --> 00:35:24,017
Speaker 1: value people that they need to move. They know where

588
00:35:24,057 --> 00:35:26,057
Speaker 1: and when to do it because we're not out there

589
00:35:26,057 --> 00:35:28,857
Speaker 1: in the field. We're stretched in all throughout the United States.

590
00:35:28,937 --> 00:35:32,097
Speaker 1: And then they're taking advantage and quite frankly, they're they're

591
00:35:32,137 --> 00:35:35,337
Speaker 1: doing a good job at it. And if you were

592
00:35:35,337 --> 00:35:38,177
Speaker 1: sitting in a room with the DHS Chief Mayorcas and

593
00:35:38,417 --> 00:35:41,537
Speaker 1: President Biden and they asked you, they said, you know

594
00:35:41,657 --> 00:35:45,377
Speaker 1: your your career board patrol agent, you understand this world,

595
00:35:45,457 --> 00:35:49,777
Speaker 1: you understand this mission set. What could we what could

596
00:35:49,857 --> 00:35:52,417
Speaker 1: they do to make your job and the job of

597
00:35:52,457 --> 00:35:54,537
Speaker 1: the men and women who are part of Border patrol,

598
00:35:54,577 --> 00:35:56,657
Speaker 1: who make up Border patrol. What could they need to

599
00:35:56,737 --> 00:35:58,817
Speaker 1: improve things? Because it doesn't feel like there's much of

600
00:35:58,857 --> 00:36:02,297
Speaker 1: that going on. Yeah, if you want to deter people

601
00:36:02,337 --> 00:36:05,817
Speaker 1: from coming, there's one tried and true method, and it's

602
00:36:05,857 --> 00:36:09,617
Speaker 1: a mandatory detention. Mandatory removal. Once people know that the

603
00:36:10,617 --> 00:36:13,337
Speaker 1: that the disfigured is closed, that they're not going to

604
00:36:13,377 --> 00:36:16,017
Speaker 1: be able just to come through and flood in the

605
00:36:16,097 --> 00:36:18,697
Speaker 1: United States, once they realize there will be consequences to

606
00:36:18,777 --> 00:36:22,537
Speaker 1: their actions, it'll stop. Unfortunately, I think these guys, just

607
00:36:23,497 --> 00:36:26,537
Speaker 1: for whatever political aspirations that they have, they don't want

608
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:30,737
Speaker 1: it to stop. It's a remarkable set of circumstances. Is

609
00:36:30,777 --> 00:36:32,257
Speaker 1: this the worst the border has ever been? From a

610
00:36:32,297 --> 00:36:35,217
Speaker 1: law and order perspective, Chris, in your career, in my

611
00:36:35,337 --> 00:36:37,657
Speaker 1: twenty plus years, it's the worst I've seen it. I'd

612
00:36:37,697 --> 00:36:41,177
Speaker 1: venture to say it is probably the worst it's ever been. Unfortunately,

613
00:36:41,257 --> 00:36:43,057
Speaker 1: I don't think we hit the high water mark yet.

614
00:36:43,217 --> 00:36:46,017

639
00:38:21,497 --> 00:38:24,977
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants entering the US, America's open southern border is

640
00:38:24,977 --> 00:38:28,697
Speaker 1: also a major national security issue. He increased activities of

641
00:38:28,737 --> 00:38:31,337
Speaker 1: Mexico's drug cartels are a major concern, and Customs and

642
00:38:31,417 --> 00:38:35,137
Speaker 1: Border Protection report that forty two suspected terrorists were encountered

643
00:38:35,177 --> 00:38:37,697
Speaker 1: at the American border last year. So just how much

644
00:38:37,737 --> 00:38:39,897
Speaker 1: of a risk is the bind administration putting us in

645
00:38:39,977 --> 00:38:42,817
Speaker 1: with its policies here to help answer that question, Senior

646

Speaker 1: National security fellow out the Center for Immigration Studies, an

647
00:38:45,057 --> 00:38:48,377
Speaker 1: author of America's covert border war. The untold story of

648
00:38:48,417 --> 00:38:51,817
Speaker 1: the nation's battle to preventci hottest infiltration. Todd Benzman, Todd,

649
00:38:51,897 --> 00:38:55,937
Speaker 1: thanks so much, great to be here. Thank you. Now,

650
00:38:56,057 --> 00:38:58,057
Speaker 1: let's start with the cartels. What kind of activity are

651
00:38:58,137 --> 00:39:01,497
Speaker 1: we seeing with the border de facto open right now?

652
00:39:01,577 --> 00:39:06,737
Speaker 1: Which is the truth? Well, the three or four major

653
00:39:06,977 --> 00:39:12,897
Speaker 1: cartels that control the plaza or the Mexican side, the

654
00:39:13,257 --> 00:39:18,137
Speaker 1: major crossing areas are just cashing in. Really, we nobody

655
00:39:18,217 --> 00:39:21,257
Speaker 1: knows how much it is. It's almost impossible to tell,

656
00:39:22,257 --> 00:39:25,977
Speaker 1: but there there is no doubt but that the that

657
00:39:26,137 --> 00:39:32,297
Speaker 1: the revenue center has shifted from drugs to human beings

658
00:39:32,857 --> 00:39:37,057
Speaker 1: in especially southern Texas, and it's in the billions and

659
00:39:37,177 --> 00:39:39,857
Speaker 1: billions of dollars if you just do the math, you know,

660
00:39:39,977 --> 00:39:43,137
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred dollars for a Central American, you know,

661
00:39:43,297 --> 00:39:48,097
Speaker 1: seven thousand for a Chinese, ten thousand for somebody from

662
00:39:48,137 --> 00:39:51,337
Speaker 1: the Middle East, and thousands and thousands. The numbers are,

663
00:39:51,417 --> 00:39:54,537
Speaker 1: it's going to be in the billions of dollars for

664
00:39:54,617 --> 00:39:59,057
Speaker 1: the cartels. And you know that has a terribly destabilizing

665
00:39:59,537 --> 00:40:04,177
Speaker 1: long term impact on the Mexican state. And then we

666
00:40:04,457 --> 00:40:09,377
Speaker 1: also have you know, good old fashioned drug trafficking fentanyl

667
00:40:09,537 --> 00:40:14,057
Speaker 1: and cane and marijuana that we believe is coming over

668
00:40:14,257 --> 00:40:18,897
Speaker 1: in higher volumes now than ever before because border patrol

669
00:40:19,457 --> 00:40:26,217
Speaker 1: agents are off the line doing paperwork and processing these

670
00:40:26,337 --> 00:40:30,377
Speaker 1: family units that are being allowed in by the Biden administrations,

671
00:40:30,497 --> 00:40:33,137
Speaker 1: taking up all their time. They're off the line, not

672
00:40:33,377 --> 00:40:36,617
Speaker 1: very many, not much of a defense there anymore, and

673
00:40:36,977 --> 00:40:40,257
Speaker 1: the cartels are taking huge advantage of this, and they're

674
00:40:40,337 --> 00:40:46,137
Speaker 1: using tactics. For example, they're doing what we call Bonzai runs,

675
00:40:46,217 --> 00:40:50,497
Speaker 1: where they'll take you one hundred or two hundred immigrants

676
00:40:50,537 --> 00:40:53,337
Speaker 1: and they'll push them over all at once, and every

677
00:40:53,457 --> 00:40:57,057
Speaker 1: border patrol agent in for forty miles has to come

678
00:40:57,137 --> 00:41:00,737
Speaker 1: into process them, and they're moving the cocaine through that

679
00:41:00,857 --> 00:41:05,177
Speaker 1: sort of thing. Also, on the issue of cartel violence,

680
00:41:05,817 --> 00:41:07,777
Speaker 1: is there a lot of that happening? I mean, I

681
00:41:07,817 --> 00:41:12,377
Speaker 1: remember reading about a decade ago about what felt like

682
00:41:12,497 --> 00:41:16,577
Speaker 1: unimaginable violence going on on the Mexican side. Is that

683
00:41:16,737 --> 00:41:19,457
Speaker 1: happening We're not hearing about it. And also is there

684
00:41:19,457 --> 00:41:25,177
Speaker 1: any violence that's spilling over from the cartels into border states? Well, yes,

685
00:41:25,777 --> 00:41:29,057
Speaker 1: you know, there's always there are always killings and murders

686
00:41:29,177 --> 00:41:34,337
Speaker 1: on our side, there are you know, vengeance killings, and

687
00:41:34,777 --> 00:41:39,457
Speaker 1: there is violence and intimidation that happens all the time.

688
00:41:39,537 --> 00:41:43,577
Speaker 1: On the Mexican side, I would not say that it's

689
00:41:43,937 --> 00:41:46,977
Speaker 1: it's worse than the period that you're talking about two

690
00:41:47,017 --> 00:41:50,817
Speaker 1: thousand and six to two thousand and nine saw maybe

691
00:41:50,897 --> 00:41:56,537
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand Mexicans killed, because people are fat and happy.

692
00:41:56,657 --> 00:42:00,657
Speaker 1: Right now. There is enough to go around for everybody

693
00:42:02,497 --> 00:42:04,857
Speaker 1: meeting the cartels like they're making so much money, they're

694
00:42:04,897 --> 00:42:07,937
Speaker 1: not even spending the time fighting wars against themselves in

695
00:42:07,977 --> 00:42:11,337
Speaker 1: the government that they used to. Oh absolutely, and then

696
00:42:11,497 --> 00:42:15,537
Speaker 1: on top of that, you have a central government obador

697
00:42:16,177 --> 00:42:24,377
Speaker 1: who's mantra about hugs not bullets, which is official government

698
00:42:24,497 --> 00:42:28,137
Speaker 1: policy of Mexico, So that the federalllis and the military

699
00:42:28,617 --> 00:42:33,217
Speaker 1: are leaving them alone. Everybody's getting rich. And when the

700
00:42:33,497 --> 00:42:38,857
Speaker 1: central government is not running raids and putting pressure, they're

701
00:42:38,897 --> 00:42:41,817
Speaker 1: not pushing back and fighting back and battling each other.

702
00:42:42,817 --> 00:42:45,097
Speaker 1: So it kind of goes like that. It's not like

703
00:42:45,297 --> 00:42:47,657
Speaker 1: it was in two thousand and six to two thousand

704
00:42:47,697 --> 00:42:50,577
Speaker 1: and nine. What can you tell us about the forty

705
00:42:50,577 --> 00:42:54,697
Speaker 1: two suspected terrorists who are encountered in twenty twenty one

706
00:42:55,057 --> 00:43:00,897
Speaker 1: at the border right, Well, when you have millions of

707
00:43:01,057 --> 00:43:05,577
Speaker 1: people hitting the border like you have now, our normal processes,

708
00:43:05,817 --> 00:43:10,857
Speaker 1: our systems for regulating in bringing people in are just

709
00:43:11,257 --> 00:43:16,377
Speaker 1: off the rails. Nothing is normal now. Everything is stopped

710
00:43:16,937 --> 00:43:21,537
Speaker 1: or warped or halted or you know, messed up. Nothing's

711
00:43:21,577 --> 00:43:26,217
Speaker 1: working in the right way. And so we have processes

712
00:43:26,297 --> 00:43:32,137
Speaker 1: in place to accept migrants who are on the federal

713
00:43:32,537 --> 00:43:37,457
Speaker 1: FBI terror watch list, many across the border who are

714
00:43:37,457 --> 00:43:39,937
Speaker 1: already on that watch list, and when we run their names,

715
00:43:39,977 --> 00:43:43,577
Speaker 1: we're supposed to do ABC and D with them. But

716
00:43:43,737 --> 00:43:48,017
Speaker 1: there's evidence that we're not doing those things under this crisis.

717
00:43:49,057 --> 00:43:56,657
Speaker 1: And a good example would be the the Venezuelan Lebanon

718
00:43:56,777 --> 00:44:00,817
Speaker 1: born Venezuela who's Venezuelan, who swam over from Matta Morris

719
00:44:01,497 --> 00:44:04,297
Speaker 1: late last year. They ran him on the watch that

720
00:44:04,377 --> 00:44:08,897
Speaker 1: he was on the watch list. He was considered substantial

721
00:44:09,297 --> 00:44:16,177
Speaker 1: risk and and a high derogatory intelligence substantial derogatory intelligence

722
00:44:16,257 --> 00:44:19,857
Speaker 1: on him, and they were he was ordered to let

723
00:44:19,937 --> 00:44:24,217
Speaker 1: him go and they freedom. Normally they would interrogate the

724
00:44:24,297 --> 00:44:27,097
Speaker 1: heck out of somebody like that, keep him in custody,

725
00:44:27,137 --> 00:44:29,297
Speaker 1: and then deport him back to wherever he came from

726
00:44:29,377 --> 00:44:33,937
Speaker 1: or wherever they could, and ICE headquarters ordered him released.

727
00:44:34,057 --> 00:44:37,697
Speaker 1: Why because he was overweight and at risk of catching

728
00:44:37,817 --> 00:44:41,097
Speaker 1: COVID and detention, and we don't do detention anymore in America.

729
00:44:41,817 --> 00:44:45,057
Speaker 1: So that guy's running around free in Detroit pursuing an

730
00:44:45,057 --> 00:44:48,057
Speaker 1: asylum plane. There was also a lot of understand it

731
00:44:48,137 --> 00:44:51,137
Speaker 1: todd to smuggle jihadis over the border that was spoiled

732
00:44:51,137 --> 00:44:54,097
Speaker 1: and may this one the BBC and Islamic State sympathizer

733
00:44:54,177 --> 00:44:57,177
Speaker 1: planning to murder former US President George W. Bush, But

734
00:44:57,217 --> 00:45:00,577
Speaker 1: the plot was discovered by the FBI. According to US authorities,

735
00:45:00,617 --> 00:45:02,857
Speaker 1: the suspect of resident of Ohio allegedly sought to have

736
00:45:02,937 --> 00:45:06,777
Speaker 1: a rocky operative smuggled into the US from Mexico for

737
00:45:06,897 --> 00:45:13,737
Speaker 1: this operation. That's right now, that was an FBI sting operation,

738
00:45:13,897 --> 00:45:17,777
Speaker 1: But operatives that he was planning to bring over were real,

739
00:45:18,537 --> 00:45:24,897
Speaker 1: and the Qatar based mastermind of the operation was real too,

740
00:45:25,057 --> 00:45:28,377
Speaker 1: So this was a real operation. They were going to

741
00:45:28,497 --> 00:45:33,257
Speaker 1: murder George Bush. They were going to They had some

742
00:45:33,377 --> 00:45:36,297
Speaker 1: other plans and attacks as well. But what this shows

743
00:45:36,417 --> 00:45:39,657
Speaker 1: us is that the bad guys are very well aware

744
00:45:39,777 --> 00:45:42,937
Speaker 1: that the border is in utter chaos. They know it,

745
00:45:43,457 --> 00:45:46,497
Speaker 1: and they are planning to use it. We know that,

746
00:45:47,297 --> 00:45:50,097
Speaker 1: we know that because of this one bad guy. If

747
00:45:50,377 --> 00:45:52,657
Speaker 1: one bad guy and all of his friends from here

748
00:45:52,697 --> 00:45:55,737
Speaker 1: to Qatar know about this, you can pretty much bet

749
00:45:56,177 --> 00:45:59,177
Speaker 1: that everybody else in the jihadi world knows about it

750
00:45:59,297 --> 00:46:02,457
Speaker 1: as well. Big big risks here, Todd, thanks so much
