Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Chow podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Tragedy in the state of
Speaker 1: Texas where at least fifty migrants were found dead inside
Speaker 1: and abandoned eighteen wheeler on the side of the road
Speaker 1: in San Antonio, Texas. Number of them were children. Three
Speaker 1: people have been arrested in the presume smuggling attempts, but
Speaker 1: Texas Governor Greg Abbott wasted no time in placing the
Speaker 1: blame directly on President Biden and his administration's open border policies.
Speaker 1: We'll get into all of us and tonight's holding on
Speaker 1: Welcome to hold the line. I'm Buck Sexton. An open
Speaker 1: border has tragic consequences. We've seen this ongoing for years now.
Speaker 1: When you no longer care about the rule of law
Speaker 1: at the border, who fills that vacuum? The cartels, the
Speaker 1: vicious transnational narcotics gangs that engage in the smuggling of
Speaker 1: drugs that kill tens of thousands of Americans over one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand total overdoses last year alone, and also engage
Speaker 1: in massive human smuggling operations where the safety of migrants
Speaker 1: is not even a concern to these vicious cartels, and
Speaker 1: we see that this results in tragedy like what just
Speaker 1: unfolded over the last twenty four hours. Texas Governor Abbott
Speaker 1: tweeted out at least forty two people. By the way,
Speaker 1: that number has risen to fifty people who have now
Speaker 1: died in total inside a truck carring migrants in Texas.
Speaker 1: These debts are on Biden. They are a result of
Speaker 1: his deadly open border policies. They show the deadly consequences
Speaker 1: of his refusal to enforce the law. Yes, they certainly do.
Speaker 1: Biden administration has done nothing to clamp down on the
Speaker 1: human smuggling, has nothing significant to change the overall incentive
Speaker 1: structure here, both for the cartels to continue their human
Speaker 1: and narcotics trafficking in unprecedented numbers across the southern border,
Speaker 1: but also for the individuals who want to come into
Speaker 1: America illegally to take extreme risks in that process. These
Speaker 1: are individuals who are desperate, they're breaking the law. Their
Speaker 1: safety is not even a consideration for the cartels, and
Speaker 1: that can have tragic consequences that can show that that
Speaker 1: can show up as drownings in the Rio Grande, which
Speaker 1: we have seen people dying out in the desert of
Speaker 1: exposure to the heat or from thirst, which we have seen.
Speaker 1: And now this the largest migration mass casualty event really
Speaker 1: in the history of this country. Now the cartels are,
Speaker 1: of course the entity behind this. The policy of the
Speaker 1: Biden administration make it all easier for those cartels, and
Speaker 1: that's where the political blame should lie. Does lie criminally,
Speaker 1: though of course we have to find out how this
Speaker 1: happened and who was involved. San Antonio's mayor says, there
Speaker 1: are three persons of interest in custody. Watch the people
Speaker 1: that are responsible for subjecting other people to these conditions
Speaker 1: should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Speaker 1: We do have three persons of interest who are in custody,
Speaker 1: and so you can rest assure that we will cooperate
Speaker 1: in any way necessary to bring justice to those individuals.
Speaker 1: This is yet another sad day for our southern border,
Speaker 1: which has become an area of lawlessness and perpetual violations.
Speaker 1: It seems of our sovereignty. The risks to individuals who
Speaker 1: are crossing far too high. The riches the cartels received
Speaker 1: from all this are too much and people are finally
Speaker 1: starting to recognize the situation is unsustainable. Prior to this incident,
Speaker 1: in fact, Texas Sheriff Ed Gonzalez informed the Biden administration
Speaker 1: that he's no longer interested in being Biden's new ICE
Speaker 1: Director Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. He tweeted out, I am
Speaker 1: grateful who President Biden for the honor of nominating me,
Speaker 1: and I wish this administration well as it strives to
Speaker 1: overcome the paralyzing political gridlock that threatens far more than
Speaker 1: our nation's border. Frankly, the dysfunction threatens America's heart and soul.
Speaker 1: People who are professional border agents of many years, many
Speaker 1: decades in fact, are saying this is the worst it
Speaker 1: has ever been. Do you get any sense from the
Speaker 1: Biden administration that they believe there is urgency here? Sure,
Speaker 1: they're going to put out statements about how tragic and
Speaker 1: it is deeply tragic that fifty people lost their lives
Speaker 1: in one truck crossing the border on behalf of the
Speaker 1: cartels and based on the average price that individuals pay
Speaker 1: for that trafficking across the cartel plazza, there the plot
Speaker 1: of land, so to speak, that they are in charge
Speaker 1: of because the cartels break up the territory between them.
Speaker 1: You're talking about you're talking about hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: dollars the cartels would have gotten just from this one
Speaker 1: smuggling operation, and in this case it went tragically wrong
Speaker 1: with fifteen deaths. How does this all come to an end? Well,
Speaker 1: border patrol will tell you the only way to stop
Speaker 1: this is to secure the border. There needs to be
Speaker 1: something done. It's not enough to just say that this
Speaker 1: is a tragedy and this is sad. There are policies
Speaker 1: that could prevent the next human smuggling operation. Because border
Speaker 1: patrol right now is overstretched. They are spending so much
Speaker 1: time dealing with the humanitarian mission of taking in Emily units,
Speaker 1: making sure that babies have food and formula healthcare for
Speaker 1: illegal migrants crossing that cartel smuggling operations like this one
Speaker 1: are far more likely to occur because the cartels know
Speaker 1: that there is a good chance they'll be able to
Speaker 1: get through our border security, and so it just encourages
Speaker 1: the lawlessness and an encourages situations that could result in
Speaker 1: tragedies like this one. The way border agents on average
Speaker 1: apprehend more than seven thousand migrants right now every single day,
Speaker 1: and a lot of them are unaccompanied children. The Biden
Speaker 1: administration is moving forward with a program to house many
Speaker 1: of those children in North Carolina apparently, so they've done
Speaker 1: nothing to stop the flow. They turned off the Remain
Speaker 1: in Mexico program of the Trump administration. That change the
Speaker 1: incentive for illegal crossing. And the only thing you can
Speaker 1: take away from this whole situation at the thirty thousand
Speaker 1: foot policy levels that the Biden administration doesn't want this
Speaker 1: situation of a porous really an open border to stop.
Speaker 1: They view this as in their long term political interests.
Speaker 1: They see this situation as benefiting Democrat power over the
Speaker 1: long run. They also have a ideological core of say
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty percent of the Democrat Party who truly
Speaker 1: believe in open borders. I mean they actually think that
Speaker 1: America should kick it stores wide open to anyone, particularly
Speaker 1: from the developing world. So people that come from poor
Speaker 1: countries who generally do not speak English, they want them
Speaker 1: coming into this country in the largest possible numbers. They
Speaker 1: view them as likely to be more dependent upon this
Speaker 1: state for assistance and resources and to vote Democrat as
Speaker 1: a result. That is the program that is the plan.
Speaker 1: Democrats have even articulated this in recent years. This needs
Speaker 1: to stop. There needs to be a bipartisan decision that
Speaker 1: we will secure the border. The only way that's going
Speaker 1: to happen is if Democrats are annihilated at the polls
Speaker 1: in the upcoming internal election. We'll have more on this
Speaker 1: with the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies,
Speaker 1: marker Core. You know, just a moment, Let's talk about
Speaker 1: protecting your online data. First. A lot of companies say
Speaker 1: your privacy is guaranteed. We know that's not true. That's
Speaker 1: why you need a new privacy and cybersecurity application tool
Speaker 1: called Secure. It's spelled SEK. You are. Secure is using
Speaker 1: proprietary encryption and offering secure instant messaging and email with
Speaker 1: Secure all of your communications based on servers and data
Speaker 1: centers hosted in Switzerland without using any of the big
Speaker 1: tech platforms. Privacy is a big issue now. Without real security,
Speaker 1: people can read your emails, your messages, even your bank information.
Speaker 1: Secure will never mind your data and never ask your
Speaker 1: phone number. You can send emails to your doctor, banker, lawyer,
Speaker 1: or anyone else with total confidence that you're not being
Speaker 1: spied on by your Internet provider or Big Peck. Secure
Speaker 1: is your solution to stop the theft of your digital identity.
Speaker 1: Costs only five dollars to the messenger, only ten dollars
Speaker 1: to the messenger in email combination package. Go to secure
Speaker 1: dot com and take back your privacy today. That's sekure
Speaker 1: dot com and use promo code buck for twenty five
Speaker 1: percent off. We'll be right back with more. Hold the line.
Speaker 1: This is more death on the hands of the President.
Speaker 1: I can't think of anything worse, Laura than these people
Speaker 1: in that eighteen wheel are suffocating the heat going to
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty degrees or more, trying to climb out, desperately, desperately,
Speaker 1: and they died. Culture of death. Whether it's Fentnel that
Speaker 1: he allows to come over the border because he has
Speaker 1: open borders that kills our teenagers, whether it's these forty
Speaker 1: six people, and it may be more those are in
Speaker 1: the hospital or very critical. If ever, this nation needs
Speaker 1: to climb out of the darkness we are in of
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Now is the time that we all
Speaker 1: should be on our knees and pray. Texas Lieutenant Governor
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick blaming President Biden and his open border policies
Speaker 1: for the heartbreaking tragedy in Texas or at least fifty
Speaker 1: migrants we're left to die in an eighteen wheeler as
Speaker 1: part of a smuggling operation. This as the administration continues
Speaker 1: to lie to the American people saying the border is
Speaker 1: securely closed with humane policies in place. Clearly there are
Speaker 1: big problems here. They're delusional if they think this is
Speaker 1: a secure border. Join me now to discuss Executive director
Speaker 1: of the Center for Immigration Studies Marker Corey and Marco
Speaker 1: to see him. Thanks for having me first. That's want
Speaker 1: to have you respond. Here is a White House Press
Speaker 1: Secretary Karen Jeanpierre on the tragedy today of the fifty
Speaker 1: migrants found dead in that truck. Watch. We're focused on them,
Speaker 1: on the facts and help holding the human strugglers who
Speaker 1: endangered vulnerable individual, individual profits accountable, and and we're focused
Speaker 1: on continuing our story actions to disrupt dangerous smuggling networks,
Speaker 1: including through a new anti smuggling campaign that just in
Speaker 1: the first two months resulted in over eighteen hundred arrests.
Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is the border is closed,
Speaker 1: he says, I mean there's a lot there, you can
Speaker 1: respond it. But she says the borders closed. Mark. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: if I left my car door locked the way they're
Speaker 1: saying the border is closed, that I would have a
Speaker 1: car pretty quickly. It's a laughable statement. It's obviously true
Speaker 1: that the people directly responsible are these criminal smugglers though,
Speaker 1: the scum of the earth. But there's also no question
Speaker 1: that the Biden administration bears a significant part of the responsibility.
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor Patrick was correct, because what we're doing is
Speaker 1: it's not that the border is open, it's it's open ish.
Speaker 1: In other words, we're luring people here with the Biden
Speaker 1: administrations promise that if they get past the border patrol,
Speaker 1: they're basic home free. But we still have some roadblocks
Speaker 1: in the way. I mean, there are still there is
Speaker 1: still some enforcement going on at the border, so some
Speaker 1: people still rely on smugglers to get in. So what
Speaker 1: we have is the worst of both worlds. The one
Speaker 1: option is and this is something that for instance, Senator
Speaker 1: Menendez from New Jersey and various activist groups have said today,
Speaker 1: is that we're not let enough people in. We just
Speaker 1: need to have unlimited immigration, basically, is what they're saying.
Speaker 1: Because then anybody who wants to come in would get in.
Speaker 1: Nobody would have to be smuggled. Of course, the United
Speaker 1: States would basically cease to exist if we did that.
Speaker 1: The other option, the real option, is we have consistent
Speaker 1: enforcement across the border to deter illegal limits, not just
Speaker 1: fences and what have you. And that's all important, but
Speaker 1: we also make sure that if you get past the
Speaker 1: border patrol, you're not home free. You still get deported
Speaker 1: across the board. Consistent strong enforcement so that people abroad
Speaker 1: thinking about coming as an illegal immigrant will say it's
Speaker 1: just not worth it. The odds or against me, so
Speaker 1: I'm not going to take the risk and spend the money.
Speaker 1: Some people might still do still mark, are they still
Speaker 1: running the same the same scam essentially at a massive
Speaker 1: level of this is all about they're supposed to appear
Speaker 1: and they don't appear, they're giving a notice to appear,
Speaker 1: they claim they want asylum, they go the asylum process,
Speaker 1: and if so, do we have any sense of the
Speaker 1: numbers of who actually seize through the process once they're
Speaker 1: let it, once they enter illegally, but then they're claiming
Speaker 1: defensive asylum or they have some other means of getting
Speaker 1: released into the system. How many of them end up
Speaker 1: at some point disobeying the system and breaking the law
Speaker 1: again by either not showing up or not actually going
Speaker 1: through to show before a judge, etc. Like, basically, how
Speaker 1: many of them are actually staying legally? Almost all of
Speaker 1: are staying illegally. Obviously it's a multi year process, so
Speaker 1: it's kind of a moving target. But the fact is
Speaker 1: that of those people who made it through the first
Speaker 1: screening interview, that they don't get asylum, but they're you know,
Speaker 1: they're considered okay, maybe they could get asylum. That's the
Speaker 1: first screening interview. Half of those people don't even then
Speaker 1: go through the process of actually applying for asylum because
Speaker 1: they're let go. So why bother the other? It fair?
Speaker 1: Is it fair to say, would you say, mark eighty
Speaker 1: percent give or take eighty to maybe eighty to ninety
Speaker 1: percent at some point just aside the system is not
Speaker 1: really for them after they've been let in. Is that
Speaker 1: what we're looking at at least? I mean, no question,
Speaker 1: eighty to ninety maybe even more than that. One point
Speaker 1: or another. They may show up for hearings, but then
Speaker 1: if they're ordered deported, they don't leave. So yes, the
Speaker 1: overwhelming majority almost all who don't get asylum end up
Speaker 1: staying anyway. What kind of interior enforcement do we actually
Speaker 1: have going on right now? And by the numbers, obviously
Speaker 1: it's weak, it's by it and we know that. But
Speaker 1: are they deporting people and any significant numbers right now
Speaker 1: from the not including people caught at the border crossing
Speaker 1: and illegally now maybe turned away unentertitle forty two. But
Speaker 1: are we deporting people who are just in the country illegally?
Speaker 1: What's interior enforcement? Yeah, I'm pulling your leg here, but no,
Speaker 1: they're not. I mean, some people, sure, But we looked
Speaker 1: at the numbers, and deportations from inside the country, as
Speaker 1: you suggested, are down in twenty twenty one, down by
Speaker 1: two thirds, more than two thirds. And the administration has
Speaker 1: always maintained that that's because they're focusing on criminals only. Well,
Speaker 1: the deportations of criminals also dropped by about the same amount.
Speaker 1: So the fact is that you really really have to
Speaker 1: do something to get ICE's attention in order for the
Speaker 1: Biden administration to allow Ice to deport you. It still happens,
Speaker 1: it just doesn't happen very much. GOP. Senator Ron Johnson,
Speaker 1: by the way, is demanding answers from DHS Secretary of
Speaker 1: Many Orcus after a leaked DHS MAMO about using federal
Speaker 1: funds to move migrants around the US. Dron Johnson said,
Speaker 1: under DHS's plan, taxpayers would put the bill to send
Speaker 1: allies I'm sorry, aliens to cities such as Los Angeles, California, Albuquerque,
Speaker 1: New Mexico, Houston, Dallas, and other places. Taxpayer dollars should
Speaker 1: be used to secure our border, not further exacerbate the
Speaker 1: Biden border crisis. What's going on here with the taxpayer
Speaker 1: dollars from DHS setting people all over the country. So
Speaker 1: now as you cross in illegally and DHS puts you
Speaker 1: on a plane and sends you to Boston, so you
Speaker 1: can go exactly where you want to go. Well, not necessarily,
Speaker 1: what they're doing is moving people away from the border
Speaker 1: because the border communities are overwhelmed, and so what they're
Speaker 1: doing is they're sending people to shelters like the next
Speaker 1: big city in Houston or LA or Phoenix or something
Speaker 1: like that. But if you're actually going to Houston or
Speaker 1: LA or Phoenix, well then the government just delivered you
Speaker 1: to where you're going in any case you have been
Speaker 1: moved away from the border. The Biden administration's concern with
Speaker 1: like the burdens this is placing on border towns is
Speaker 1: not the way they're responding to that is not to
Speaker 1: fix the problem and keep people out. It's to move
Speaker 1: people out faster so that they get into the United
Speaker 1: Political consequences to people seeing the mobs, you know in
Speaker 1: the different detainment centers, etc. Real quick before let you go, mark,
Speaker 1: any thoughts on what's going to come down here from
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court on remain in Mexico. I don't know,
Speaker 1: and it'll be it's an important case. But even if
Speaker 1: they uphold the decision that they have to keep remain
Speaker 1: in Mexico in place, this administration even now is under
Speaker 1: that kind of order from the lower courts and they've
Speaker 1: only put a few hundred, well a couple of thousand
Speaker 1: people into remain in Mexico, when last month alone they
Speaker 1: had almost a quarter million illegal aliens. So they're basically
Speaker 1: ignoring the court order. Now. I'm not the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: could affirms the lower court's orders. This administration will do
Speaker 1: anything different. Mark, We'll have to talk to you more
Speaker 1: about it when it comes down. Thanks for being one
Speaker 1: of us. Thank you. With Rov Wade overturned, pro abortion
Speaker 1: groups are suing state governments to prevent abortion bans from
Speaker 1: taking effect. We come back. Texas State Attorney General Ken
Speaker 1: Paxton joins us to discuss the lone star states efforts
Speaker 1: to shutter the abortion industry. Right now, I want to
Speaker 1: talk to you about protecting your most viable asset, your home.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, but there was
Speaker 1: a recent story about an Arizona real estate agent that
Speaker 1: found the home she lived and was listed for sale.
Speaker 1: The problem was she wasn't selling her home. He was
Speaker 1: the victim of home title fraud, a devastating crime happening
Speaker 1: all over the country. According to the experts at home
Speaker 1: title lock, the crime is incredibly profitable and hard to detect.
Speaker 1: An identity thief simply creates a fake title transfer for
Speaker 1: your home and refiles as the new owner. Then he
Speaker 1: can take out loans on your home or sell it.
Speaker 1: Typical identity theft services don't cover you, and neither does
Speaker 1: homeowners insurance. Home title lock does. Home title lock puts
Speaker 1: are around your homes tittle the instant they detect anyone
Speaker 1: messing with it. They helped shut it down. So here's
Speaker 1: what you should do. Go to home tuttlelock dot com.
Speaker 1: Read the testimonials from former FBI agents. Then register your
Speaker 1: address to see if you're already a victim and don't
Speaker 1: even know it. When you protect your home, tell them
Speaker 1: Buck sent you to get thirty three days of protection.
Speaker 1: Home tuttlelock dot com Again, that's home titlelock dot com.
Speaker 1: Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxson joints in a moment.
Speaker 1: Abortion providers in a number of states are filing lawsuits
Speaker 1: to prevent the enactment of statewide abortion bands following the
Speaker 1: overturning of ROEVI Wade by the Supreme Court. At least
Speaker 1: thirteen states have abortion bands on the books, many of
Speaker 1: which were set to trigger once decade. The decades old
Speaker 1: rob Wade was overturned earlier today, a judge in Harris County, Texas,
Speaker 1: block the implementation of the state's ban, ruling that abortions
Speaker 1: up to about six weeks can temporarily resume at some clinics.
Speaker 1: Jo mean now for the latest on this battle is
Speaker 1: the Attorney General of the State of Texas, Ken Paxson,
Speaker 1: Mister Attorney General. Thanks for being with us. Ay, glad
Speaker 1: to be there. So so tell me who what happened here?
Speaker 1: A judge has said that abortions can continue? What give
Speaker 1: us the situation? The overview of in a post row
Speaker 1: legal environment? What is happening in your home state of Texas?
Speaker 1: All right, so we're talking about Harris County. We're in
Speaker 1: a barely liberal county, fairly liberal judge. She ruled that
Speaker 1: the pre row statutes are not in place anymore. I
Speaker 1: don't know why she said that, because the statute that
Speaker 1: we passed, both the Trigger Bill and the Heartbeat Bill
Speaker 1: both reference the fact that we're not we're not eliminating
Speaker 1: those statues. The statutes still are in place. They've never
Speaker 1: been repealed by the legislature. So you know, this is
Speaker 1: a temporary injunction. So we're going to have whether the
Speaker 1: permanent junction is going to stay in place. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have a hearing in a in a I think it's
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, and so we should build all
Speaker 1: this if we if we don't, will appeal it. It's
Speaker 1: it's obviously it's it's not the right decision. Those statutes
Speaker 1: are in place, the trigger bills in place, everything, heartbeat
Speaker 1: bills and heartbeat built laws in place. Everything's in place,
Speaker 1: and for her to stop everything and say act like
Speaker 1: nothing happened, is you know, obviously not the right decision.
Speaker 1: And what is the law now in the state of
Speaker 1: Texas forever to watch it when it when it comes
Speaker 1: to the issue of abortion, I mean what you mentioned
Speaker 1: the trigger laws. Where where does it the issue stand
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah, so the trigger bill goes into effect
Speaker 1: after the court. The court has the issue of final judgment.
Speaker 1: The final judgment typically is about I think the deadlines
Speaker 1: about twenty five days. It gives it gives the other
Speaker 1: side a chance to ask for rehearing of their case
Speaker 1: in front of the US Spreme Court. They're rarely granted.
Speaker 1: I doubt it will be granted here, but we have
Speaker 1: we give them twenty five days and then thirty days
Speaker 1: after that. The legislature said, the trigger Bill goes into
Speaker 1: effect and abortions are are bank end and that's a
Speaker 1: new law. There were old laws that were struck down
Speaker 1: by Robi Wade. Now Robie Wade has been struck down.
Speaker 1: So our argument is, hey, those laws they were struck
Speaker 1: down then, but they're still alive now because Robie Wade
Speaker 1: was invalid precedent, and the Supreme Court just told us that.
Speaker 1: And so the laws in place before Robie Wade occurred
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three are now back in place. Those
Speaker 1: laws exist right now and until the Trigger Bill goes
Speaker 1: into effect, and the Trigger Bill doesn't even overrule those
Speaker 1: It just adds to what does the trigger bill do,
Speaker 1: just so I'm clear. So the Trigger Bill outlaws all
Speaker 1: abortions unless it relates to the help of the mother.
Speaker 1: So the Trigger Bill, if roby it was passed legislature
Speaker 1: before Robie Wade was struck down. It was passed in
Speaker 1: anticipation of Robie Wade being struck down. So legislature passed
Speaker 1: it in May, I think, and it went into effect
Speaker 1: in September, almost a year ago. And if Robi Waite passed,
Speaker 1: then it's sort of retroactively knocked down or put back
Speaker 1: in place. These these these statutes what have You can
Speaker 1: also speak to the possible legality one way or the
Speaker 1: other of a suggestion from Member of Congress Representative Alexandria
Speaker 1: Ocasio Cortez, who wants abortion clinics to be opened on
Speaker 1: federal land in Red states. Watch with the us off
Speaker 1: the baby. The baby steps open abortion clinics federal So,
Speaker 1: mister Churney General, she says she wants abortion clinics to
Speaker 1: be opened on federal land in red states. Could that
Speaker 1: happen in Texas? I don't know how she do that.
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't really have many federal lands in Texas.
Speaker 1: We've got Air Force base and army bases, but those
Speaker 1: are usually known to be used for the military. We
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of federal lands in Texas. You know,
Speaker 1: there are states like Utah and Nevada and that are
Speaker 1: controlled largely by by the federal government. But in Texas,
Speaker 1: you know, there's just not a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of federal lands. Sorry, Aco and switching topics for a
Speaker 1: moment here, mister Attorney General. Everyone across the country is
Speaker 1: reeling in horror at the finding of the migrants in
Speaker 1: this tractor trailer. Fifty of them as of this show,
Speaker 1: at least we know, are dead. There are others who
Speaker 1: are in severe you know, severe risk taken to the hospital,
Speaker 1: including children. What should people know about how a situation
Speaker 1: like this can occur? What are the factors from the
Speaker 1: cartel side to the policy side that allow something like this.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's the worst migrant loss of
Speaker 1: life tragedy and history. Yeah, this is not the first time,
Speaker 1: though this is a larger number than we've had in
Speaker 1: the passing. This will happen again. This is a partnership
Speaker 1: between the Biden administration and the cartels. The cartels know
Speaker 1: that the Biden administration has incentivized this, and the cartels
Speaker 1: make the more people they can get across the border,
Speaker 1: the more money they make. They charge eight thousand per
Speaker 1: person somewhere around that number, and so the Biden administrations
Speaker 1: made it very clear that the more people that they
Speaker 1: cartels can get across, the more money they're gonna make.
Speaker 1: And look, these people are typically not running, they're typically
Speaker 1: running to the border rages. Now there are some that
Speaker 1: have issues that even the border rages don't accept, and
Speaker 1: so that may be this group here. So this is
Speaker 1: not going to be the last time. This is certainly
Speaker 1: encouraged by the Biden administration. I would say to expect
Speaker 1: more the same. And they're they're fine with it. They're
Speaker 1: willing to accept losses from both migrants, from both citizens
Speaker 1: of Texas, from betting all overdoses. Those are all acceptable
Speaker 1: losses to the Biden administration, they're encouraging this, not discouraging
Speaker 1: it in any way. They're doing everything they can make
Speaker 1: everything they can do to make this happen. So they're
Speaker 1: okay with all of this. Would you say that cartels
Speaker 1: are more powerful right now in part because of the
Speaker 1: poorest border with all the human smuggling and drug trafficking
Speaker 1: going on, Then at any time since you've been working
Speaker 1: in Texas law and law enforcement, well, when you're empowered
Speaker 1: by the federal government of the United States, it really
Speaker 1: does help. And so they've gotten a huge boost from
Speaker 1: the Biden administration encouraging illegal immigration and they know it. Look,
Speaker 1: there's no surprise to them. They were they were told
Speaker 1: on day one, Hey, the laws of the federal government
Speaker 1: about immigration don't apply anymore. Get you know, get get on,
Speaker 1: get on the ball, and get your get more people here.
Speaker 1: And so they've done it, and they are more powerful,
Speaker 1: their their their ability to import drugs is getting better,
Speaker 1: and more kids are dying, more people are dying. That's
Speaker 1: for the Biden administration. They you know, obviously don't talk
Speaker 1: about this, but it's clear to me that it's a
Speaker 1: fair trade off of them they're willing to trade American
Speaker 1: lives and even immigrant lives if they can get a
Speaker 1: trade off of getting more and more illegal immigrated immigrants
Speaker 1: into this country and just just one more for you.
Speaker 1: I remember hearing from members of border patrol that the
Speaker 1: state of this is one of the Trump administration. When
Speaker 1: I was spending time at the border at the state
Speaker 1: of California did everything they could to make it harder
Speaker 1: for border patrol agents in California to do their jobs.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering now, it's obviously different of a Biden administration.
Speaker 1: Are there any ways the Bide administration at the federal
Speaker 1: level is making it harder for the state of Texas
Speaker 1: to have border security. Oh. Absolutely, everything they're doing makes
Speaker 1: it more difficult for us to have border security. I mean,
Speaker 1: when you when you have an open invitation to tell
Speaker 1: people to turn yourself into the border age border patrol
Speaker 1: and you'll be given asylum, and you'll be moved rather
Speaker 1: quickly secretly a planer on a bus somewhere in the country.
Speaker 1: The border agents aren't getting to do their job. They're demoralized,
Speaker 1: they're they're not supported, they're not getting to do their job.
Speaker 1: It's it's not even a real job anymore. And it's
Speaker 1: unfortunate because these are great men and women that have
Speaker 1: dedicated their lives to public service, to helping us defend
Speaker 1: our country, and the Biden administrations fits in their face
Speaker 1: and says, we're not going to let you do your jobs.
Speaker 1: A fact, We're gonna make you just the opposite. We're
Speaker 1: gonna make you be a part of our plan to
Speaker 1: violate all federal laws as it relates to immigration and
Speaker 1: get as many illegal immigrants into here. Whatever their background,
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, crime, drugs, whatever it is, we
Speaker 1: want them here. Even if they're criminals, we want them here.
Speaker 1: We're going to try to release them. We fought the
Speaker 1: Biden administration they're supposed to now not let criminals go
Speaker 1: in the United States. Whether they're doing that or not,
Speaker 1: we don't know because they don't report anything to the
Speaker 1: American people about what they're actually doing. Learning in general
Speaker 1: from State of Texas can packs in, sir, appreciate you
Speaker 1: being with us today. Thanks for making the time. Hey,
Speaker 1: thank you have a great day. A big win for
Speaker 1: election integrity New York City, as the city's non citizen
Speaker 1: voting law was struck down yesterday in the courts. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that coming up here in just a moment.
Speaker 1: Each morning, the President of the United States receives a
Speaker 1: highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing the country.
Speaker 1: It's called the President's Daily Brief or PDB. It's delivered
Speaker 1: by America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear
Speaker 1: your very own PDB in the form of a podcast
Speaker 1: hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer.
Speaker 1: Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen
Speaker 1: to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country,
Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to
Speaker 1: start your morning. Every administration, including the Deblasio administration the
Speaker 1: Bloomberg administration, has been clear saying that this law would
Speaker 1: be unconstitutional and against the current statute, and now judge
Speaker 1: has firm that position. Big win for election integrity in
Speaker 1: New York City yesterday, as the city's non citizen voting
Speaker 1: law has been struck down of the courts. New York
Speaker 1: Times reports a law that would have allowed non citizens
Speaker 1: to vote in local elections in New York City was
Speaker 1: struck down on Monday by a State Supreme Court justice
Speaker 1: on staten Island who said it violated these state constitution.
Speaker 1: The measure would have allowed more than eight hundred thousand
Speaker 1: permanent legal residents and people with authorization to work in
Speaker 1: the United States to vote for offices such as mayor
Speaker 1: and city council. So what does this mean for local
Speaker 1: New York City elections moving forward? Man that led the
Speaker 1: movement to strike down this laws with me now? New
Speaker 1: York City Council Minority Leader Joe Barelli, Joe Sage of
Speaker 1: Staten Island, good to see you, you too, book, Thank you,
Speaker 1: so you put out a statement on this the state
Speaker 1: Supreme Court law a state Supreme court rather invalidating the
Speaker 1: non citizen voting law. Non Citizen voting in New York
Speaker 1: is illegal, and shame on those who thought they could
Speaker 1: skirt the law for political gain. Command the court and
Speaker 1: recognizing reality and reminding New York's professional protests or class
Speaker 1: at the rule of law matters. I mean, when you
Speaker 1: look at the state constitution in New York, was this
Speaker 1: even a close call? Why do they think they can
Speaker 1: get away with this? Well, so, even I'll stipulate the
Speaker 1: state constitution is somewhat vague. It says that citizens have
Speaker 1: the right to vote in elections, which is something we
Speaker 1: all know and accept. But even if we stipulate that
Speaker 1: point is vague, there's a state statute on the books,
Speaker 1: even in Blue New York State, that requires citizenship to
Speaker 1: register for and vote at elections at all levels, from
Speaker 1: the governor down to the town justice. So it was
Speaker 1: the combination of that and the state constitution and a
Speaker 1: third law that required municipalities, if they're changing the way
Speaker 1: people vote for offices, to go through a referendum process
Speaker 1: that they didn't do with this case. It was those
Speaker 1: three things that actually overturned this law. And again going
Speaker 1: back two decades, every mayoral administration to Blasio, also in Bloomberg,
Speaker 1: they all said that this was illegal, that the city
Speaker 1: did not have the power to do this. But in
Speaker 1: the last month of the de Blasio mayoralty, he decided
Speaker 1: to throw some you know, wat against the wall and
Speaker 1: see what's stuck. And for six months this stuck until
Speaker 1: a judge decided that reality and the law matters, and
Speaker 1: now we won't have foreign citizen voting. These aren't non citizens,
Speaker 1: but these are foreign citizens. Qualifications of New York voters
Speaker 1: are as follows. No person shall be qualified to register
Speaker 1: for and voted any election unless he is a citizen
Speaker 1: of the United States and is or will be on
Speaker 1: the day of such election eighteen years of age or over,
Speaker 1: and the resident of the state and of the county, city,
Speaker 1: or village for a minimum of thirty days next preceding
Speaker 1: such elections. So the law seems on this one one out.
Speaker 1: But Joe, do you think they're done? Are they going
Speaker 1: to try some other way to expand voting to people
Speaker 1: who are not citizens? No, they'll forum shop. They'll try
Speaker 1: to appeel this up to the Second Department, our first
Speaker 1: level appeals court in the state. They'll try to make
Speaker 1: the argument that the application of that law, even though
Speaker 1: it's plain and simple you can read it yourself, wasn't
Speaker 1: applied properly in this case. I don't think that works.
Speaker 1: What they could do, and what might be the interesting
Speaker 1: things come out of this is now push at the
Speaker 1: state level for a change in that law. And to
Speaker 1: be clear, if they change the statute you just had
Speaker 1: on the screen, then you could allow municipal voting of
Speaker 1: foreign citizens in every county and every city election in
Speaker 1: the state. Unfortunately, though, they would pay a political price
Speaker 1: for that, because this is one of those things that's
Speaker 1: not even widely supported within liberal New York City. There
Speaker 1: were a ton of politicians, especially African American politicians, who
Speaker 1: oppose this. They rightly have seen a generation of trying
Speaker 1: to get black leadership and other ethnicities to get representation
Speaker 1: in their communities at different levels of government, and they
Speaker 1: felt that this would water down their contributions to govern
Speaker 1: our city by allowing these people who are enfranchised in
Speaker 1: some other jurisdiction around the world. By the way, fun fact,
Speaker 1: if this was to go into into place last election,
Speaker 1: you could have voted for Sonic Khan in London and
Speaker 1: Mayor Eric Adams within thirty five days of each other
Speaker 1: and both would have been legal. Wow. There you have it.
Speaker 1: Not on Joe Burrow, He's watch though at least not yet.
Speaker 1: Cognatorial primary elections going on today in the Empire State. Joe,
Speaker 1: you endorsed on the GEOP side, Lee Zeldene. What made
Speaker 1: you go with Lee? There's some good folks in that race. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's three good candidates. I'll be clear
Speaker 1: about that. I know Rob Esterino and Andrew Giuliani for many,
Speaker 1: many years, and if they happen to win I'll be
Speaker 1: happy to support them too, But I think Lee is
Speaker 1: the only person in the race with the experience and
Speaker 1: statewide mechanics of a campaign that could actually go on
Speaker 1: and beat Kathy hole in Hoco. In November, Lee raised
Speaker 1: almost ten million dollars, which is double basically what every
Speaker 1: other challenger for a governor had even come close to
Speaker 1: raising at this point. In the past. We've always had
Speaker 1: ourselves a disadvantage two Democrats, both in terms of fundraising
Speaker 1: and in terms of enrollment. But we take that fundraising
Speaker 1: thing off the table, it becomes much more easy. Also,
Speaker 1: he's from a part of the state that we need
Speaker 1: to flip back. I like Trump, You like Trump, but
Speaker 1: we know that he lost some support in the suburbs.
Speaker 1: Lee Zeldon will win Nassau County, He'll win Suffolk County,
Speaker 1: on both Long Island counties, and who'll win part of
Speaker 1: the Hudson Valley. So geographically he makes the best case
Speaker 1: for November to beat Kathy Hopell. How do we look
Speaker 1: here going up against pocal the sitting governor, not actually
Speaker 1: somebody who won an election to get there. But you know,
Speaker 1: we all know Cuomo pushed to the side. She's Lieutenant
Speaker 1: now she's the real governor or lieutenant governor. Did not
Speaker 1: last very long, by the way I think people are realizing,
Speaker 1: does not the machine of let's say, lack of corruption
Speaker 1: is not the trademark of ThEC Hocoal gubernatorial period. Thus,
Speaker 1: far Ken a Republican actually win. Joe Ken, a Republican,
Speaker 1: actually beat Kathy Hocal in New York in this fall
Speaker 1: this fall, will action Buck, you're a New Yorker. I
Speaker 1: mean within our lifetime we had a Republican governor and
Speaker 1: he served three terms. He was someone who was moderate
Speaker 1: on many of his positions, someone who was willing to
Speaker 1: work across the aisle when he had to. Some Republicans
Speaker 1: didn't like everything he did, and that's fine though, But
Speaker 1: no one can dispute the fact that the nineteen nineties
Speaker 1: were a pretty good time for New York State. There
Speaker 1: were a pretty good time for New York City as well,
Speaker 1: when we had Rudy Giuliani at the Helm there also.
Speaker 1: So I think there is some nostalgia. I think there
Speaker 1: is the ability to win, and I think this is
Speaker 1: the year to do it. Cuomo, for all his faults,
Speaker 1: had a strong following. He had a lot of support
Speaker 1: there were Cuomo sexuals. There are no hocal sexuals out
Speaker 1: there in any corner of the Empire state. And without
Speaker 1: those devoted followers, and without that real devoted turnout model
Speaker 1: that Cuomo could have generated, I think it's going to
Speaker 1: be more difficult than not for Kathey Hogel. Remember, there
Speaker 1: are only competitive general elections in November in the Republican
Speaker 1: ports parts of the state. So most of these congressional
Speaker 1: districts around New York City and in Buffalo, for example,
Speaker 1: and some of the inner cities aren't even having a
Speaker 1: competitive congressional race. So we do have some advantages we
Speaker 1: can work with, and I think we're in our best
Speaker 1: position we've been in the past three cycles. What's the
Speaker 1: single most important If you had a look at one
Speaker 1: swing demographic in New York State that could be the
Speaker 1: deciding factor here, it's suburban women, and like I said before,
Speaker 1: a lot of them had issues with Donald Trump. I
Speaker 1: think politically speaking, the rov Wade decision doesn't necessarily help
Speaker 1: us with that demographic. But these are all people who
Speaker 1: live in the suburbs, who commute to Manhattan every day,
Speaker 1: commute to different parts of the city, or someone in
Speaker 1: their family does, or someone in their family's a police
Speaker 1: officer or something like that, and they are as tuned
Speaker 1: in to the rising crime and dysfunction of New York
Speaker 1: City as anyone who lives in the city proper. There
Speaker 1: are more people who have to come to New York
Speaker 1: City for business purposes or travel or pleasure or leisure
Speaker 1: a regular basis than there are who actually live in
Speaker 1: the city. So it's a big demographic of people who
Speaker 1: aren't really counted in the city, falling apart demographic that
Speaker 1: will have their one chance to weigh in on politics
Speaker 1: in November. Joe Morelli of Staten Island, good to see you, Sartin,
Speaker 1: Thanks for being here, you two. Thank you. Jeffrey Epstein's
Speaker 1: right hand woman, Guillen Maxwell learned her faith today. We'll
Speaker 1: tell you about that long away to decision and more
Speaker 1: coming up in quickt A sentence in the Guillan Maxwell
Speaker 1: case and commedian Wanda Sykes has some shocking reasons why
Speaker 1: her life isn't so great in his time her quick hits. Um,
Speaker 1: Let's let's start with with Wanda Sykes, who is a
Speaker 1: name that I'm for Many of you know, she's famous,
Speaker 1: She's rich. Um. One would think that she would be,
Speaker 1: and she's an American, what would think There's a lot
Speaker 1: of blessings to be thankful for. But Medy Wanda Sykes
Speaker 1: look a different tone when she was talking to Stephen
Speaker 1: Colbert reflecting on her life, and I was also interesting
Speaker 1: who she blamed it on watch. I'm a black, gay
Speaker 1: woman and I have a daughter, so I'm not doing
Speaker 1: so well right now. The problem is that middle stuff
Speaker 1: is those states in the middle that that read stuff.
Speaker 1: Why did I get to tell us what to do
Speaker 1: when the majority of us live out you know, New York, California,
Speaker 1: and we're paying for all this cray it really, I mean, right,
Speaker 1: A lot of problems with the political analysis there in general.
Speaker 1: I know the left and the Libs hate to hear
Speaker 1: this or will ignore it, but you don't want to
Speaker 1: get your constitutional law analysis from comedians. Just as a
Speaker 1: basic rule of a rule of thumb, I think probably
Speaker 1: a good place to be. But also in the blaming
Speaker 1: of the red states, it'sn't the oldest, most boring, ploy imaginable, right, Yes,
Speaker 1: blaming the red First of all, there are a lot
Speaker 1: of Democrats who leave in these so called red states,
Speaker 1: but it's neither here nor there. NBC News report came
Speaker 1: out today. Well here's just an NBC News report. Convicted
Speaker 1: sex traffier Geelan Maxwell was sentenced to twenty years in
Speaker 1: prison for recruiting and grooming teenage girls to be sexually
Speaker 1: abused by Jeffrey Epstein. Now, this is a this is
Speaker 1: a considerable prison sentence. I know there are people who
Speaker 1: will say that she should have gotten more. One problem,
Speaker 1: the one thing that's difficult to handle with the whole
Speaker 1: Epstein criminal saga is how is it that there were
Speaker 1: no other big names that were brought into this. Epstein
Speaker 1: and Maxwell were by all accounts, running a blackmail operation.
Speaker 1: Who were they blackmailing? Where is the evidence of the blackmail?
Speaker 1: If you look into this, you'll find out that seems
Speaker 1: very strange that that never really came out, never really
Speaker 1: seemed to get it clear. So all the surveillance operations
Speaker 1: they had going on, who were they surveilling. We know
Speaker 1: that there were some people that had launched or went
Speaker 1: to the so called pedophile Island, but they say they
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. Well, actually, who was engaged in the
Speaker 1: activities here, the criminal activities with women who were being
Speaker 1: sex trafficked? Never got that answer somehow seems strange to me.
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, by the way, is still making the rounds,
Speaker 1: and here she is with the usual or democracy is
Speaker 1: at stake blah blah blah. Watch I really can't. But
Speaker 1: what I don't know well, But what I can't imagine
Speaker 1: is staying as active and outspoken as I can, because
Speaker 1: I think I think our country is really on the
Speaker 1: Precipice scale. I think that we are looking at not
Speaker 1: only the erosion of these rights, the throwing the door
Speaker 1: open to unfettered, unregulated gun access, but we're also looking
Speaker 1: at dismantling the federal government, how it protects our air
Speaker 1: and our water and everything else. Democracies at state. We're
Speaker 1: looking at the January sixth hearing. I do you think
Speaker 1: the democracy is a state as we sit here today?
Speaker 1: I do well anything come of these hearings. People say,
Speaker 1: some say it's a waste of time. I think these
Speaker 1: hearings it is a waste of time unless you are
Speaker 1: a live wine mom without kids but cats who sits
Speaker 1: around all day watching the January sixth insurrection like it's
Speaker 1: a soap opera. Oh my gosh, any moment now ridiculous.
Speaker 1: But Hilary is ridiculous all the stuff she says there. Yes,
Speaker 1: our democracy is in such danger from unregulated gun buying,
Speaker 1: which she just touns so many laws about guns and canty.
Speaker 1: There are so many laws about guns that the Libs
Speaker 1: can't even keep them straight. And that hasn't changed. All
Speaker 1: that's changed is you can play this game of you're
Speaker 1: not actually going to issue permits to law abiding citizens
Speaker 1: who want a carry permit for a handgun. Oh no,
Speaker 1: actually gonna make everybody safer. By the way, as ever,
Speaker 1: tonight's hold the line. The no spin news of the
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly is next shield High. Each morning, the President
