WEBVTT - Democrats Flat-Out Lie About the Border 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.600 You are entering the freedom hunt. The government is still 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:18.919 shut down, my friends, but the Buck never stops. I'm 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.600 coming to you live tonight from San Diego, California, after 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:27.600 two full days spent with border patrol agents. I have 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.360 a lot to tell you about what's real, what's not, 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:34.360 who's telling the truth, and who's lying about security at 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:36.479 our southern border. That and more coming up on The 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:40.720 Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.800 the mission or mission is to decode what really matters 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:51.080 with actionable intelligence, magnor mistake America, You're a great American Again. 0:00:51.240 --> 0:01:03.480 The Buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts, No, not one congressional leader, 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.280 including Nancy Pelosi. Chuck Schumer has went to the border 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.400 to talk to barbato chiefs about the effectiveness of the wall. 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.080 I keep hearing the walls ineffective from them people. I 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.240 don't know what data they're basing it on, but every 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.000 place a border barrier has been built, illegal immigration has declined. 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.880 That's a fact. They went through the southern Mexican border 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.640 last time. Mexico failed to stop them. However, for those 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.520 that get in that want to come to port a 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.800 venture to claim asylum. That we need to make that 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.360 agreement operational where they wait to Mexico until they get 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.880 that hearing, because ninety two percent of them will not 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.000 get relief from the immigration courts and they'll be ordered removed. 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.840 So we need to keep it in Mexico rather than 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.120 get in the United States disappear in society with the 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:45.440 other twelve thirteen million people. I went and spent some 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:49.120 time with border patrol. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show, everybody. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:54.120 Unlike Pelosi and her gang of Democrats, I wanted to 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.480 get as much ground truth as I could because this 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.960 is the single most important policy issue in the country 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.559 right now, what to do about border security and how 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:08.560 we can approach the broader issue of immigration and all 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.600 of the issues that are tied into it. So I 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.239 have been out here in the San Diego sector of 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.840 the border for the last couple of days. That's why, Yes, 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.239 I had to have a guest host, our friend Harlan Hill. Hope. 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.600 He did a fantastic job. No, he did a fantastic job. 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.480 Always great to have Harlan sitting in for me. But man, 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:30.800 do I have some things to tell you today. The 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.799 good news is that all the things that we've been 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.760 saying here on this show about the border. All along 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:43.640 are accurate, meaning that walls do work. There is no 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.560 question that walls work. It is an un serious, anti 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.240 factual position to say that walls work. It is an 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:55.720 irrational position to say that walls do not work. It 0:02:55.800 --> 0:03:02.280 makes no sense. It flies in the face of history, reality, 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.239 and all of the experts I spoke to members of 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.800 Border Patrol. Some you could tell, maybe we're a little 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.119 more favorable to this president than others. All of them 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.600 said here in the San Diego sector that a wall 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:22.200 isn't just helpful, it is a game changer. Now I 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.280 have more stories any which, I mean, we can really 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.680 fill this out, but you know, I wanted to start 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.200 with the very broad takeaways from having been out there 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:38.000 and toward areas without fencing with fencing. Saw an apprehension 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.880 happen in real time. One moment, I'm getting a tour 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.080 of the fence. The next moment, oh, look there's a 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.680 bunch of illegals who were making a run for it, 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.080 hit the accelerator and I had to sit there and 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:54.560 watch the whole thing go down. We also had, or 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:58.480 rather a male with a very young kid about ten 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.280 years old turn himself in, and so I managed to see, 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.640 over the course of forty eight hours, the different components 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.440 of how border security is done here. But also I 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:14.440 saw the scams that are being run, the exploitation of 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:18.280 American law for the purposes of people who want to 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.160 just skip the whole immigration process as we know it 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.640 and get access into the American interior and do all 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:31.279 of this in ways that the media is just either 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.360 blind to you or a lying to you about. I've 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:39.000 been telling you for a while that ninety percent of 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:43.480 the media is just flatly dishonest about the realities of 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.800 immigration what's coming on of the border. And now I'm 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.120 more convinced than ever. I mean, now I'm certain that's 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:53.520 the case, because you can't spend any time with border 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.080 patrol as they're trying to enforce federal law when it 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.919 comes to illegal alien crossings in this country. You can't 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:03.040 spend any time with and not realize that the primary 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:08.159 Democrat talking points from Pelosi and Schumer and all the 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:15.360 rest of their left wing crew are just false lies, 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:21.640 fake news, whatever you want to call it. Walls don't work, 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.800 it's a lie. All they need is a ladder it's 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.440 a lie. Border Patrol doesn't want more fencing. It's a lie. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:34.159 There's not a massive problem of infiltration of illegal aliens 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.000 into this country currently ongoing, also known as a crisis. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.680 There's no crisis, they say. That's a lie. The cartels 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.920 aren't getting incredibly rich off of human smoking. In fact, 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.360 now there's some estimates that they might even be making 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.120 in some of the plazas, some of the sectors that 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.480 they break the border down into for cartel control, they 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.440 might be making more money off the smuggling of human 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:07.040 beings than the smuggling of drugs. So there's not a crisis. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:12.240 That's a lie. There's not a major problem of the 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.479 infiltration of drugs and human beings. That's a lie. They 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:20.440 aren't lying to us in order to exploit our immigration system, 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.960 lying to the faces of our customs agents and our borderings. 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:30.120 That is also a lie. The record, when I was 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.120 I started out, I went into and I want to 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.920 walk you through what I saw over the course of 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.200 the two days, because it's if you're going to talk 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.200 about the border, if you're going to care about the border, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.039 any American should know these things. These are facts. This 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.720 is what is really going on. This isn't just the 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.320 talking point is not the CNN. Oh, it's they're doing 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.240 the jobs Americans won't do, and they're better than than 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.880 actual Americans are. They're more American than Americans. These illegals. 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.680 There's no problem here. There's no security threat, there's no 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:07.280 scamming that's going on. There's no risk to our sovereignty, 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.680 and there's no impact on the economy, on er rooms, 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.960 on schools. Lies. They're just lying, lying all over the 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.720 place about this, and it happened for a very long time. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.720 So I want to walk you piece by piece through this. 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:27.560 But one of the most impactful moments that I had 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:31.840 was being brought into the initial I mean, other than 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.520 actually being there on the first day and seeing illegal 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.320 illegals try to cross, and I would note that some 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.080 people because I took a photo as they were jumping 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.760 off the fence on the US side, and then the 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.000 car I was in chase them down and boarder troll 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.680 agents got out and they surrendered. I mean, there was 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.920 no the illegal alien crossers weren't being aggressive or anything. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.120 They knew they were caught and that was it. And 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:57.640 the worst thing's going to happen to them is they're 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.840 out some money and they're gonna get deported back to Mexico. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.320 It's a misdemeanor felony the first time to cross, although 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:07.160 those individuals had already crossed before. Of course, this was 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.360 not their first time doing this, as we found out 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.440 later on, and they were Mexican, unlike a lot of 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.200 what I saw in the initial and this is what 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:21.960 really stuck with me. In the initial processing center. When 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.160 you are caught in the San Diego sector of the 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:30.000 border and you get brought in for processing, they separate out. 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.480 Now women who were with children are in one holding 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.720 cell and then there's a hold, then they break them 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:41.920 down by medical need. There is a in the McCallen 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.000 sector or down in mcmccalen, Texas and that part of 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:50.400 the border, there is a holding cell specifically for illegal 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:57.160 aliens crossing with HIV, specifically for legal aliens crossing with tuberculosis, 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.719 specifically for legal aliens crossing with scabies. Lies. I mean, 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.160 all all these health problems, and you may say, well, buck, 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.280 I mean they need help, okay, But we need to 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:09.760 understand that this this influx of people into the country 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.000 is one not just taxing border patrol resources. I mean 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.960 this influx of people that are yes, they're they're crossing 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.480 sometimes illegally, sometimes illegally, but using the asylum process, and 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.360 this is what we're seeing. It's all these would be 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.840 asylum seekers coming in. They are taxing the medical system. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:32.280 When you have one person who shows up two border 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.640 it shows up and is apprehended by border patrol or 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:38.280 turns themselves in and they have to go to an 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.200 ear an emergency room facility, it requires two border patrol 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.400 agents to stay with that individual the entire time they're 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:48.640 receiving medical treatment, so they get pulled off the lines. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.000 So now that's you can imagine how you get You 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.720 get twenty or thirty people who have to go to 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:58.240 the hospital and Border Patrol has to send forty fifty 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.559 sixty agents. I mean they say large numbers of agents 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.280 to go essentially babysit them in an American er, where 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.720 of course the taxpayers paying for this. So it's not 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:13.440 about being unkind or inhumane or mean, I'm not bringing 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.839 up the holding facilities for people that are coming across 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.720 the border will have tuberculosis as anything other than just 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.120 to give the full scope of what the resources are 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:28.440 involved here and what we're asking Border patrolled to do. 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:34.840 They set up a frontline triage center essentially for medical screening, 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.800 medical screening of people that are coming across the border, 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.880 because a lot of them do have very serious health problems. 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.840 There's another thing that's just happening now in larger and 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.920 larger numbers. You have these family units showing up. And 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.720 the family units tend to show up and they turn 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.160 themselves in. I saw that happen. I saw a guy 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.240 claiming to have a ten year old side just they 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.280 walked up to the border, to the border fence and 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.000 said we want to claim asylum, and Border patrol said okay, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.000 and they got them. They got them transport and then 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.000 they processed them in the facility, right and they keep 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:11.640 the families together. Now they've reverted from the policy that 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.160 was in place this path once they've established that it 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.800 is family Oh, which by the way, they lie about that. 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.000 You don't see that reported very often, but they call 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.520 it recycling children. There will be kids that are someone 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.920 else's kids who are being used in order to get 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.840 the benefit of arriving as a family unit at the border. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:35.920 So that happens, But the medical needs are very intense 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:42.199 for some of these recently arrived migrants, and now we're 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:46.520 seeing more and more women arriving in their ninth month 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.280 of pregnancy. I am nine months pregnant and I would 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.720 like to claim asylum in your country. Okay, Well, now 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.560 they're going to get processed. Right. Once they get processed, 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:58.920 they're also going to get medically checked out to make 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.679 sure they're okay, and then they're going to be by 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:07.040 Immigrations and Customs Enforcement released into the interior of the 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.520 United States pending their court date, which will probably be 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.280 a year or two, maybe three years away. Is there 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.840 any person right now out there who thinks that a 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.480 woman who comes into America saying that she has a 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.600 credible fear And I'll get into the credible the credible 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.240 fear thing is a huge scam. It's a lie. You 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.040 are we are being lied to when the media says 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.240 you're allowed to claim asylum. No, you're not allowed to 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.920 lie in order to get asylum. It is happening all 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.600 the time, day in and day out. And I'll get 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.280 into y in a moment. I Mean, there's a lot 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:43.600 to dig into here, But does anyone think that somebody 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.400 who arrives in their ninth month of pregnancy. Obviously they're 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.760 going to give birth in the United States. That child 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.480 is a US citizen because of birthright citizenship. And now 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.520 when that parent, that mother shows up claiming asylum in 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.280 two years, do you think that it even matters where 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.280 she's from, or what threat she's under, or what her 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.640 asylum case is. No, Now she's got an American citizen child. 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.760 Do you think any judge is going to say, any 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.000 immigration judge is going to say, yeah, we're gonna send 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:15.920 you back now? Obviously not. The incentive now is not 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.440 only do you get to come into the country and 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.760 get medical care and give birth in this country and 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:26.240 give citizenship to your child, you are effectively guaranteed to 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.240 be able to stay into in the country with that 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.960 child afterwards. And this is all using the system and 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:37.959 the laws we have they are in place. Now, why 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.760 do I say there's a scam? How are they lying 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.480 about this? How is the word out, what NGOs are involved, 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.800 who's paying to bring them to the border. Why is 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.480 it that South Texas is a thousand miles closer for 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.880 the caravan that came up than San Diego. But somehow 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.880 they all ended up in San Diego in the caravan 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.280 rather quickly and went far out of the way to 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.880 get there. Why is that who's pushing this? There are 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.360 people pushing this, There are NGOs, and there are efforts 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.000 just using the Internet and social media to get information 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.719 out there to make sure that migrants who arrive at 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.440 the border know exactly what to say and what to 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.600 expect and how to try and leverage the processes that 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.640 we have in place that are supposed to save people 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:27.520 from imminent fear of death. This is just being exploited 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.520 for people who want to be here because it's a 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.760 better country. This is Central Americans who come through Mexico 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.200 and say, well, I don't want to stay in Mexico. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.480 And they'll say this, I asked border patrol. I said, 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.400 what when you ask a Hondura or El Salvadoran, why 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.680 don't they just stop in Mexico and claim asylum. They're 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.600 they're granted asylum if they want it in Mexico. They said, 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.520 we don't want to be in Mexico. Mexico's got all 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.600 kinds of problems. They want to be in America. That's 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.360 not asylum, that's immigration. That's trying to come to another 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.120 country because it's a better country. That's not what the 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.000 asylum process is for. It is being abused. You are 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.920 being lied to, and people in the me ninety percent 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:07.360 of the media is perpetuating this lie. And I will 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.280 break down the scams for you. I'll talk more about 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.200 the wall, the fence, where this is going. We'll also 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.200 today get into the insanity. I was on Tucker Show 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:17.960 last night. I talk with the insanity of this. Trump 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.920 is a Russian agent and people are just out of 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.200 their minds. Pelosi saying no State of the Union address 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.240 now pretending to have gotten Secret Service to sign off 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.200 on this, and I'm seeing now that that's not even 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.240 the case. But Pelosi, what do we expect from her? 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.520 And also one thing today, I really would love to 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:37.680 hear from a lot of you. We are going to 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.280 kick those lines open. I know we haven't taken a 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:41.720 lot of calls in a while, but I feel like 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.280 today I'm out here. If you've got any questions about 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.120 the border, if you want to throw in your two 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.720 cents about the shutdown or anything else, team, I want 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.760 to hear from you. Eight four four nine hundred buck. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.680 That's eight four four something you're like, WHOA, I haven't 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.880 heard the number a while eight four four nine hundred 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.400 two eight two five. Let's talk border security. Light up 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.440 those lines and we will be right back. The President's 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.160 message has been right all along. We have a crisis 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.920 at the border, both the national security and a humanitarian crisis. 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.560 Democrats have got to stop ignoring the problem, sit down 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.520 with the President at the table and help us come 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:20.760 to a solution. The President is right on board of security. 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:24.440 The Democrats are wrong. And I think that finally because 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:28.320 Trump has focused so much attention on this issue, because 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.880 he has the courage of his convictions on this policy 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:37.440 question to stay in the fight. Anybody who is willing 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:41.080 to learn to pay attention. We'll see. And the numbers 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:46.520 don't lie. Walls don't work is a lie. You look 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:51.560 back at the San Diego sector specifically, they had hundreds 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:56.000 of thousands of illegal crossings in the nineteen eighties into 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.440 the nineteen nineties every year, hundreds of thousands and an 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:03.480 apprehend rate that was maybe fifty sixty percent. Really just 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:08.040 guessing now, the apprehension rate is ninety percent. That means 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.840 that if you try to cross from Tijuana into and 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:13.679 some people told me, I have to say Tijuana, but 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.879 I'll tell you everybody here says Tijuana. So there's that 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:20.200 from Tijuana in the United States, you have a nine 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.879 out of ten shot of getting caught. That's a pretty 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:29.040 high apprehension rate, and it is overwhelmingly due to the wall. Now, 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.000 how did these walls work? And why would I say that? 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.359 Especially yesterday I saw people who got over a wall. Well, 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:40.000 they got over a double layer fence that had territory 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.560 in between it that is US controlled. But what they 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:47.399 did was trip sensors on the first fence, and then 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.720 while they were covering that territory between the two fences 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.280 and the double layer fence, they were called on more 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.919 surveillance cameras. Border Patrol was able to respond. By the 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.760 time they were up and climbing with a ladder on 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.960 this second fence, we were already there. You can see 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.640 if you if you follow me on Twitter, you see 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:06.760 I tweetered out a photo we saw them climbing down 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.120 the fence. We don't we got sixteen miles of fence 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.320 we're talking about here, folks. We were only able to 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:17.400 get there so quickly because they triggered censors and there 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.160 was a fence that slowed them down and that's why 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:23.000 they got They got apprehended. So the wall worked. Right. 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.439 This is like saying an alarm system that tells the 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.520 cops to come to your house and catches the burglar 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:31.159 if he gets caught because the alarm system, the alarm worked. 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.480 It's not saying nobody can kick in your front door. 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.479 So we'll get into more of these security nuances at 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:41.000 the border in just a moment. Stay with me. And 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:44.880 it has taken our government hostage. So this president has 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:50.040 an opportunity to not create a crisis and to not 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:55.680 hold the American people and federal employees hostage. I think 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.320 we know this is not about border security. This is 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.480 about whether it is right, we're wrong to hold the 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:07.520 American people hostage, holding the American people hostage, the Democrats, 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:11.080 I'll say it's all Trump's fault. Well, why are we 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:15.320 at this impast forget about who started it or who's responsible. 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:19.480 What's really the problem. What is the core issue? The 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:27.200 President wants money for, yes, additional barriers, fencing, wall as 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.320 well as other aspects of border security. It's a multi 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:35.840 faceted thing. You want more agents, you want more surveillance, tools. 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.080 There's a whole lot of stuff that should really be 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.520 added in, and the President wants to do all of that. 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.639 He is right on this issue on a pilot, unless 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.000 you don't want a secure border, if you want the 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:53.040 continuation of what we currently have, which is a border 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:57.480 where billions of dollars of illegal drugs are still flooding 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.320 into this country, killing tens of thousands of Americans a year, 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:06.480 where you have tens of thousands of family units showing 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.440 up at the border claiming that they have a credible fear. 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.240 And I'll get into that aspect of the scam in 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.359 a moment. If you want that, well, then yeah, of 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:18.240 course you don't want anything to change. But if we 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.960 are all on the same page, if Democrats do want 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:23.600 and I do not believe they do, by the way, 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:25.159 and that reminds me of us to talk to you 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:31.760 about the state of California, which is on issues of immigration, 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:38.639 it is a legal abomination. This place is nuts. And 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.600 I'll get into how moment. As you can see, there's 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:42.639 all there's just a lot to cover here on the border. 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:44.640 Because you're just not being told, you're not being told 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:48.800 the truth. Nancy Pelosi says a wall is immoral. It's 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.919 an idiotic statement. What does that even mean? A wall 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:57.360 is immoral? How why are the is? It's mostly offense. 0:20:57.400 --> 0:20:59.240 If you look at what they've built here in San 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:04.760 Diego along the border, it's a slatted steel fence with 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:09.960 plates at the top of it that help prevent essentially 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.280 people from once if they can shimmy up some portion 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:15.400 of the fence. When they get to the top, it's 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:17.840 even harder because there's nowhere to grip or put your foot. 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:23.600 And that's it. And it's been remarkably effective and really 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:26.240 help the Border Patrol get a handle on things. People 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.360 say to me, well, Buck, can't they go around because 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:30.040 the fence does end at some point, Yeah, they can 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.200 go around, but the fence ends in a rural area. 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:37.560 There's not any access roads, so now you're going to 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:41.480 have to go on foot to that part of the 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:46.199 US Mexico border. Border Patrol does have sensors agents. I 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:50.240 saw one of their surveillance trucks in action today, and 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.240 let me tell you, if you're trying to cross an 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:56.680 open territory on foot and you've got tough terrain to manage, 0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.400 they're gonna find you. Not every time, but a lot 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:04.080 of the time, most of the time, sixty percent of 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:07.480 the time, border patrol surveillance works every time. I'm just kidding. 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:09.439 That's some of you will catch that reference, which I 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.320 think is actually, isn't that a San Diego reference? Isn't 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:16.199 Ron Burgundy and San Diego. So there's a lot that 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:18.600 there's a lot that you see when you actually come 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.879 out here that adds to one's understanding of how this 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:24.439 all goes. But here's the part of this that because 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:27.760 I have to debate with libs on a regular basis 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.479 all over the place on this issue of asylum, they 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:34.480 will say, you have a right to claim asylum in 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:39.400 this country. Remember, refugee status just means you're applying outside 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:44.120 of the US. Asylum is essentially requesting refugee status from 0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:48.199 within the US. That's the big difference. It matters to 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:52.120 some degree, it's a terminology thing, but largely they want 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:54.720 to be refugees. They're saying they're refugees effectively, and they're 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:58.200 just a refugee inside the US, so that means asylum. 0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:02.840 I saw a whole holding room full of maybe a 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:04.480 dozen or so guys and that was just from that 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:12.200 day who were from Bangladesh. You have Bangladeshis who are 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:16.120 showing up here who are claiming asylum. What are they 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:21.959 fleeing O Religious persecution of some kind. You have Chinese 0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:25.200 nationals who show up at our southern border. They are 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:30.720 claiming persecution and fear of violence. All these different individuals 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:32.560 from around the world are coming here because they know 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:36.240 that right now there is this loophole. It was opened 0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:38.600 up by the Obama administration. We have not been able 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:41.120 to close it now into the Trump administration because Ninth 0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:44.160 Circuit judges are just nuts and they will stop anything 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:49.560 that truly enforces immigration law or border security. And they're 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:51.760 all just reading from the same script. They're all saying 0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:56.760 the same things. They also try to play games with 0:23:56.880 --> 0:24:03.000
