1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:01,480 Speaker 1: Center. 2 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 2: Nice to be with you in the studio as always. 3 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 2: You just got back from the border, and I want 4 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 2: to get into this. It's not really shocking, but it's 5 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 2: very concerning now from a national security standpoint. How bad 6 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: has it gotten compared to what it was even just 7 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: last time you were there. 8 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: Well, it keeps getting worse and worse. So I was 9 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: down on the border Thursday and Friday of last week, 10 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: and so the Senate was in session. I was in 11 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: DC until Thursday afternoon and then jumped on a plane 12 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: and I flew down to McCallen Thursday night, and I 13 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: brought along with me four other Senators, John Cornyn, and 14 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: he and I often host our colleagues down at the 15 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: southern border, and we also had with us John Barrosso 16 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: and Mike Lee and Pete Ricketts, and so the five 17 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: of us came down. We landed. The first thing we did, 18 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: we went straight from the airport to the midnight muster 19 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: of the Border patrol agents and there were about fifty 20 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: Border patrol agents gathered the musters where they sit and 21 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: talk right before they go out on duty. And we 22 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: had a good discussion with the border patrol agents. Really, 23 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 1: I just stood up and told them thank you. More 24 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: than anything, I wanted them to hear from me, thank you, 25 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. To tell them and I said 26 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 1: exactly this. I said, Listen, I travel all over Texas, 27 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: I travel all over the country. You need to know 28 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: that the American people appreciate what you're doing. Their morale's 29 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: low right now, it's incredibly low. I mean that they 30 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: are working for bosses who undermined them, who undercut them, 31 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: who make their jobs impossible to do. All right, I'll 32 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: tell you something. So we did, each of us spoke 33 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: to them a few minutes, and we open it up 34 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: for Q and A, and we asked the border patrol agents, Okay, 35 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: what should we know that we don't know. One of 36 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: the things we learned which I had never heard, which 37 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: is in the past year, the Biden administration has put 38 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: out new guidelines for pursuit of illegal aliens. This is 39 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: illegal aliens that are running, that are trying to get away. 40 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: And the guidelines you'd have to effectively call them guidelines 41 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: for non pursuit because they are told you cannot pursue 42 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: illegal aliens if there is anything that could potentially endanger 43 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: someone's safety. So what does that mean? It means if 44 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: in a car they have four people in the back 45 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: seat and you know there are only three seat belts, 46 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to pursue them. Just let them go, 47 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: Just let them go. It means if they run a 48 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: stop sign, you must immediately stop pursuing them and let 49 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: them go. And what they said happens is a practical matter. 50 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: They said, look, the cartels know this memo has gone out, 51 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: the memo of non pursuit, and so when they see 52 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: someone and try to apprehend them, if they have illegal 53 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: aliens hiding like huddled down, they'll all sit up so 54 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: you can see. Wait, there are more of us though, 55 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: there are seat belts, and the border patrol agents have 56 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: to stop and just let them drive away. Wow. 57 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: And it came down, I'm assuming, from the top from Mayorcis. 58 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: In the past year. It was written instruction basically that 59 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: they're prevented from pursuing. And they said things like the 60 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: stop signs that the coyotes now know, Okay, break a 61 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: traffic law immediately as soon as you see border patrol 62 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: do something dangerous, run a stop sign and run a 63 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: red light, any feed whatever, because the instant you do that, 64 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: they're required to stop pursuit. And of course, so it's 65 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: encouraging them to run red lights and do things that 66 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: are dangerous because of the idiocy of the policy. All right, 67 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: So we did that. Then we went out on midnight patrol, 68 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: and that's something I do almost every time. I'm down 69 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: at the border and you go out and you're looking 70 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: to see where illegal aliens are. And we were out 71 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: maybe forty five minutes to an hour when we encountered 72 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: a group. This group was a group mostly of women 73 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: and children. It was about maybe twenty women and children, 74 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: mostly kids. And we stood there and we talked to 75 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: them for about thirty forty minutes, and we asked them 76 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: where they were from. They were from Guatemala, they were 77 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: from El Salvador. A number of them were unaccompanied miners. 78 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: There was one little girl, a very cute little girl, 79 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: was thirteen years old. She had no family with her. 80 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: There was another boy who was fifteen years old. He 81 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: had no family with her. There was another girl who 82 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: was sixteen years old. She had no family with her. 83 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: They're all in this group. So we asked them. We said, okay, 84 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: well where are you going? And they told different places 85 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: they were going. One said he was going to Oregon. 86 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: Another said she was going to Virginia and we said, 87 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: well where, you know where? And their answer was the 88 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: same every one of them. They said their teal was there. 89 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: Teo is Spanish for uncle, meet tal, meet thial. And 90 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: we'd ask, okay, so does your uncle know you're coming? No, 91 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: And it started to really dawn on us in a 92 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: really depressing way that these kids weren't going to an uncle, 93 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: that they were being they're being trafficked, they're being sent somewhere. 94 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: They're all told to say they're going to see their theo. 95 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: We asked them how many of them had experienced violence 96 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: and assault on the trip. I have to say, Ben, 97 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: the look on those kids' faces. 98 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: Because they know what you're asking. 99 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: Their look answered it, and they basically just said it's everywhere, 100 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: it's constant. The one that was haunting for me was 101 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: in the back. There was this man, a grown man, 102 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: maybe thirty five years old, and he was with a 103 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: little girl who was ten, and he said she was 104 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: his daughter. She said he was her dad. It was 105 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: obvious to everyone he was lying, he was not her father. 106 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: He had his arm around her and it was like 107 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: locked tight, like he was holding her almost so she 108 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: wouldn't run away. And the look of terror in that 109 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: little girl's face. She was so frightened of this large, 110 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: sweaty man who had his arm around her and was 111 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: saying he was her father. And there's a frustration and 112 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: helplessness that there's nothing we can do. That's nothing the 113 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: border could patrol can do, because when they take them in, 114 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: the Biden administration instructs them release them. And you know, 115 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: during the Trump administration, they had a policy that they 116 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: were DNA testing in particular adult man who would present 117 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: with young children and claim to be their fathers, because 118 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: this was a persistent problem, and they DNA tests them 119 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: nor of thirty percent of them had no match. They 120 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: were not their fathers. Now, think for a second about 121 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: what the risks are of handing a ten year old girl, oh, 122 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: grow a man who a grown man who is not 123 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: her father. And the reason for this is the policy 124 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: under Obama and the policy under Biden is if you 125 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: show up with a kid, you get let go immediately. 126 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: And so there's a value to bring that child, to 127 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: bring story. The cartels effectively rent these kids. But I 128 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: gotta say it was sick looking at that little girl 129 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: in any sane world, you'd say, get your damn hands. 130 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 3: Off her, and we're gonna DNA test. 131 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: We're going to DNA test you, and when we find 132 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: out you're not her dad, you're going to be arrested. 133 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 3: Can they even separate the way from the child. 134 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: But Biden canceled the DNA tests, Like you want to 135 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: talk about one of the great scandals, these Democrats who 136 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: who prance around and say they're so compassionate. They no 137 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: longer test to find out if father and alleged daughter 138 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: or father an alleged son are related because they don't 139 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,239 Speaker 1: want to know, they don't care. They are perfectly happy 140 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: just leaving a pedophile with a little girl or a 141 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: little boy who's being abused. I mean, it's sick. I've 142 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: never seen so. I've raised this in judiciary committeings repeatedly. 143 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: I've never seen a Democrat give any reason, compassionate, rational 144 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you DNA test it when you know. 145 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: Because you could accept the trafficking at that moment. 146 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: But they don't want to that. Their objective is to 147 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: be efficient. They want it to be fast. They want more, 148 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: more and more and more and more. I got to 149 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: say it was and all five of us. I mean, 150 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: we were shaken up. When you're looking at little girls, 151 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: all or almost all of whom had been sexually assaulted recently, 152 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: you could tell the trauma was evident in everything about them, 153 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: and it's horrifying. The little thirteen year old girl, she 154 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: was going to see her teo. She just had a 155 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: number to call. Sarah Carter from Fox News was there 156 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: and she said, oh, you want to call him? I 157 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: have a cell phone. Do you want to call him 158 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: here on my phone? No? No, no, no, no, like 159 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: with absolute fear. 160 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: Look, and this is every day, all day, twenty four 161 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: hours a day. 162 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: Now, in all likelihood, that little girl is going to 163 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: spend the next several years trapped in forced prostitution. And 164 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: that was one day, in one hour. There's a reason 165 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: it was interesting. We were talking to the border patrol 166 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: agents and we were asking, Okay, do Democrats come down here? 167 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: Do they see this? And they said no, and they 168 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: said they don't. And they said there are a couple 169 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: who've come down and they said they do totally different 170 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: things than you guys the Republicans do. They said they 171 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: will ever go out on midnight patrol because they don't 172 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: want to actually see the kids who are being abused, 173 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: because I guess then they would have to lie about 174 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: it if they've never seen it. What they do instead 175 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: is they go in to the headquarters. They don't want 176 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: to actually see the illegal aliens, and they say, Okay, Tuck, 177 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: talk to us about what kind of food you're giving 178 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: and what kind of medical care you're giving and what 179 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: kind of Their whole focus is like a welfare worker, 180 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: where they assume the border patrol is a bad guy 181 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: and can we give them more stuff? Is basically what 182 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: the handful of Democrats who go down there do now, 183 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: mind you, Kamala Harris has been to the southern borders 184 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: zero times since she became the borders are Joe Biden 185 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: has ostensibly been to the border once he went to 186 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: El Paso, except when he went there, he didn't go 187 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: to any border, any migrant facilities, and his advanced team 188 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: cleared all the illegal immigrants off the street. So he 189 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: went to a bridge, he met with some government officials, 190 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: and he left and according to the White House, he 191 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: did not see a single illegal alien. That is a heartlessness, 192 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: because when you see these people, by the way, we 193 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 1: did that on midnight patrol also in that group was 194 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: a couple, a husband and wife with a little girl 195 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: that were from Moldova. The little girl was beautiful, blonde, 196 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: blonde curls, maybe two three years old, a gorgeous little girl. 197 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: They had gone from Moldova to Holland, to South America, 198 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: to Central America, to Mexico, and then trafficked up into 199 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: the United States, a many month trip to come from Moldova. 200 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you that couple, it was evident they 201 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: had gone through hell, especially the Eastern Europeans. The Border 202 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: of Patrol agents told us they will never tell you 203 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: what happened to them. That they're very disciplined, like if 204 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: you ask, they're just they don't answer questions. No, no, no, 205 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: they won't. They said they're from Moldova, that's it. But 206 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: they won't describe what They're too afraid of the cartels. 207 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: They're too afraid of what the cartels would do to 208 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: them that they won't describe what happened. But again, it 209 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: was obvious these people had gone through hell. And it 210 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: makes you angry because this is entirely preventable. And the 211 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: reporters Kareem John Pierre, We've talked about this a lot 212 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: on the pod stood up and said, well, people are 213 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: not just walking across the border. And you remember I 214 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: invited her. I said, kareem, come with me. 215 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,359 Speaker 3: And I'll show you them walking across the border. 216 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: Within an hour. And this last time we found this 217 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: group within an hour. 218 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 3: How big was the group? 219 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: About twenty mostly kids, little little kids, three and four 220 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: year old kids, teenagers, several moms, a couple of men, 221 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: but it was mostly women and children. And the border 222 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: patrol agents told us they said, in all likelihood, every 223 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: one of these children has been sexually abused repeatedly once 224 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: that that's just part of the trip being trafficked, is 225 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: that you are going to be violently raped repeatedly. And 226 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: I don't understand how if you're Joe Biden, if you're 227 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, how you don't care about that. 228 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: You've seen this a lot. The others that were with 229 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 2: you when they left, what was their demeanor. I mean, 230 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: you bring other sinners with you, some of them not 231 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: from border states. 232 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: It's disturbing at a level, like when you see it. 233 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: It's different when you look in the eyes of a 234 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: ten year old girl who is with an adult male 235 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: pretending to be her father. You want to rescue that girl. Yeah, 236 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: but there's nothing you can do there in custody. 237 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 2: Can they even you know, like when you have normal 238 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: investigations us and something happens, they'll usually separate. 239 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 3: Even if you're two good guys, they'll separate you to 240 00:13:59,640 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 3: get your. 241 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: Stories to see And I've been told the Biden administration 242 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: doesn't even allow them to be separated anymore. 243 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,479 Speaker 1: Is that. Well, the bar patrol will do some investigation 244 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: if they're behaving very unusually, we'll do some investigation, and 245 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: they will occasionally find people who are obviously abusing kids, 246 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: but that's not their mandate. Their mandate is process as 247 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: fast as possible. 248 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 3: So it's churn and burn. 249 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's speed. And by the way, look. 250 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: And that really happened to go back in time to 251 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 2: remind people when there was a humanitarian issue and there 252 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 2: were some people into that bridge and they started getting 253 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: the drones up and the media were covering it, and 254 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: there was tens of thousands of people under this bridge. 255 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: It was a humanitarian pr problem. That's when they went 256 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: into full expedite and get as fast as they come 257 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: in release them so that we don't look like we 258 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 2: have a problem at the border with a bunch of 259 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 2: people gathering. 260 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: And by the way, release them means send them to 261 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: every city in America. Yeah, you look at this supplemental 262 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: bill that the Biden White House wants Israel military funding, 263 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: but they also want Ukraine added to it. They also 264 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: want what they call border security, which has nothing to 265 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: do with border security. It's a whole bunch of money 266 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: for more people to process illegal aliens faster, to put 267 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: them on more buses and more planes. All right. That 268 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: was Thursday night. Friday morning, we wake up, we meet 269 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: with senior leadership of the Border Patrol for a briefing 270 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: on what's happening. The numbers that continue to skyrocket were 271 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: upwards of seven point nine million illegal aliens under Joe Biden, 272 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: seven point nine million. After that, we went to the 273 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: Ursula facility, which is a facility that is processing illegal immigrants. 274 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: There were hundreds and hundreds of illegal immigrants and holding cells. 275 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: They separate them. So there were adult males. There were 276 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: adult males with criminal convictions. They get lots of adult 277 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: males with criminal convictions, they separate them. That's just us convictions. 278 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: By the way, they don't know if they have convictions 279 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: in Honduras or El Salvador or Venezuela. That's just if 280 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: you ask criminal convictions. There are single women. There was 281 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: a separate holding cell for pregnant women, filled with pregnant women. 282 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 3: Who have kids in America. 283 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: They will have kids in America that will be US citizens. 284 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: There right there, there was another cell that was just 285 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: for people that are sick, that are coming in with 286 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: infectious diseases. You look at this, and by the way, 287 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: these cells the illegal immigrants are many of them are 288 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: sleeping on the floor. They're packed in side by side 289 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: like sardines. I mean a cell will be oh, I 290 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: don't know, thirty feet wide by sixty feet long, something 291 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: like that, and you'll have one hundred illegal immigrants in 292 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: there and they'll be lying on the floor, side by 293 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: side by side, covered in reflective blankets, looks like tinfoil, 294 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: and they're just in there. That's every day. By the way, 295 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: those remember the kids in cages, Yeah, those are the 296 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: Biden cages. They're still there. And no Democrat cares, Nobody 297 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: in the media. Nope, it just it doesn't matter at all. 298 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: From there, we went to a stash house. So this 299 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: is a stash house. They had just busted. The stash 300 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: house was an incredibly dilapidated, nasty house. They had busted it, 301 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: and they found two illegals held in there right there, 302 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: and so they arrested them. We saw them pulling them 303 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: out in handcuffs as we arrived. I mean we were 304 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: there minutes after they busted it. Those tend to be 305 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: much more dangerous illegal aliens. Why because the ones that 306 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: are more dangerous try to run an escape. Many of 307 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: them just turned themselves in. But if you've got a 308 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: criminal conviction, if you're a gang member, if you're MS thirteen, 309 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: if you're a murderer, a rapist, a child molestor if 310 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: you're a terrorist, those are the ones that want to 311 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,479 Speaker 1: be got aways. And so the cartels will put them 312 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: in stash houses and hold them for a day or 313 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: two and then try to put them on a bus 314 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: or you know, put them on some transport to get 315 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: get them into the interior. So these stash houses are 316 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: located all over the place, down on the southern border. 317 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: This stash house, like we opened the door, it was 318 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: this totally dilapidated house. There were there were wet clothes. 319 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: They had clearly closed across the river recently because they 320 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: were soaking wet clothes that were just thrown on the 321 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: ground right there. There were piles of clothing, shoes, shirts, 322 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: I mean just piled up. There was one tiny little 323 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: air conditioner in the house, but the walls were falling down. 324 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: The house was filthy, it's stunk and that, and and 325 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: they don't know who owned it that. They said, that 326 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: house has probably been rented to twenty different people. They'll 327 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: try to track down. But the cartels, by the way, 328 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: there was a lock on the outside, so they put 329 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: the illegals in there and lock them in. 330 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 3: Unbelievable. 331 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: There was not a caretaker there when they busted it. 332 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: So sometimes they'll have the cartel person watching them. And look. 333 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: The stash houses are also where they will rape women. Again. 334 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: They will shake people down for more money. In that case, 335 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: they were just holding these two guys. The two guys 336 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: they pulled out were both single adult men, I'd say 337 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: twenties or thirties, military age men, lots of tats, pretty 338 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: rough looking guys. They got pulled out in handcuffs. We 339 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: don't know their story. From there. We went out on 340 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: horseback patrol, and so the border Patrol has a whole 341 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: division that is on horseback because much of the terrain 342 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: there you can't even get to with vehicles. And so 343 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: we spent about an hour on horseback patrolling and riding 344 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: along the Rio Grande. Then we met with local leaders, 345 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: including the mayor of a big Mexican city on the 346 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: other side of the border, who was expressing enormous frustration. Said, look, 347 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: your policies are killing us, are resulting in my city 348 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: be invaded. He said, We've got tens of thousands of 349 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: people camping out in my city because when they come 350 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: to the United States, you guys let him go. Now, 351 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: his argument, what he wanted is he said, couldn't you 352 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: just take him at the embassy so they don't have 353 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: to come to the border. Look, he was fine with 354 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,479 Speaker 1: us letting him all in. He just didn't want them 355 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: to have to cross through his city. So he's like, 356 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: can't you be even more efficient and like flying from 357 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: Mexico City or something. I wasn't terribly interested in that suggestion. 358 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair point. 359 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: And then the last thing we did is we went 360 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: out with border patrol on the boat went up and 361 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: down the river. It was interesting, you're going to up 362 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: and down the river all along the shore. We probably 363 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: saw twenty different discarded rafts that are like green vinyl, 364 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: but they were done. They were sort of you know, 365 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: thracks out and just just laying along the laying along 366 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: the shore, probably twenty of them that had been used 367 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: to either shuttle illegal aliens or shuttle drugs. And then 368 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 1: several times we saw people that the Border Patrol agent 369 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: said were cartel scouts that were just Mexicans on the 370 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: Mexican side of the border. They were like standing a 371 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: little bit in the river and like pretending to fish 372 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: or something, but they weren't really fishing. They were there 373 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: watching us to radio back, Okay, here's what the Border 374 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: Patrol is doing. And then we ended with a press conference. 375 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: But you know the press conference, we tried to talk 376 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: about what happened. What is happening at the border is 377 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: horrific and it keeps getting words. 378 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about our friends 379 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 2: that Gusta precious metals.

Well, I 382 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 2: didn't want a bad investment, but I didn't want to 383 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 2: miss the boat either and that probably sounds familiar to 384 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: a lot of you. 385 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 3: Fortunately for you, I've got great news. 386 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 2: If you have an IRA or a four oh one 387 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 2: K and want to buy physical gold, eliminate fear and 388 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: uncertainty from the process using the new Gold Ira Company 389 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 2: in Pegrity checklists.

But there are new threats that are 409 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 2: against our men and women at the border, our border 410 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: patrol agents. We're seeing bounties on them. We're seeing people 411 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: that are willing to pay for their family's addresses, where 412 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 2: they're hang where they're living, where they're renting with, they're 413 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: in a hotel, whatever it may be. There's a new 414 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: level of boldness from the cartels that are now saying 415 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 2: we want these border patrol agents to be afraid of 416 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: us and not do their job and just disappear. 417 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: Look, it is very dangerous. The threats against border patrol 418 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: agents are real. Just this past week I sent an 419 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: oversight letter to Alejandro Majorcas saying, what are you doing 420 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: to protect border patrol agents given these threats, Given that 421 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: they're paying for their home addresses, their families addresses, they're 422 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: threatening their families, what are you doing? And if you 423 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: can't protect your agencies, you need to resign. He needs 424 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: to resign regardless. 425 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 2: Is a Republican should take up in the House. We 426 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 2: got a new speaker now, Yes, because there's enough evidence. 427 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: Now it's not it's. 428 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,719 Speaker 1: A house should impeach Mayorcus, and absolutely yes, for absolute 429 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: dereliction of duty, for defying federal law, for facilitating the 430 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: invasion of the United States of America by seven point 431 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: nine million people, for facilitating the deaths of seven hundred 432 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: and fifty three migrants last year. For facilitating the rape 433 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: and sexual abuse of thousands of women and thousands of 434 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: little children. For one hundred thousand overdoses, including seventy percent 435 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: from Chinese fentanyl across the southern border. All of that 436 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: Alejandro Majorcus is responsible for. And he doesn't give a dam. 437 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: And by the way, you remember when I questioned him 438 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. I asked him 439 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: about the colored wristbands. He said he had no idea 440 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: what they worrer, he'd never seen them before. When I 441 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: was down there, I found several colored wristbands just laying 442 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: on the ground. It takes you about a minute to 443 00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: do it. The wristbands. The colors correspond to how many 444 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars they owe the cartels. They are modern 445 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: day leg irons. And that group we met, we met 446 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: a group of slaves and it's horrified. You feel like 447 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: you're back pre Civil war and you encounter slave traders. 448 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 2: People are gonna say, how did you know they're actually slaves? 449 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 2: You're making it up, you're exaggerating. I know the Left 450 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: is gonna say when you say you meet slaves, explain that. 451 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: When you talk to little girls and they say they're 452 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: going to some random too who they don't know his name, 453 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: they don't know who he is, they say, oh, he 454 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: doesn't know him coming, but I just have a number 455 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: to call. 456 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 3: You're in slavery. 457 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: You are in slavery. And it sounds harsh to say 458 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: Democrats don't care. But if you cared, you do something 459 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: about it. If Joe Biden cared, he could stop it. 460 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: If Alejandro Mayorks cared, he could stop it. If Democrats 461 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: senators cared, they could join us and trying to force 462 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: Joe Biden to stop it. But they don't. The Democrat 463 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: Senate has zero interest. Look two and a half years 464 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: of Biden being president, I have not seen one single 465 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: Democrat senator on judiciary question, one single witness about the slavery, 466 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: about the sexual assault, about the abuse of migrants by 467 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: the traffickers. Now they're all four made up stories. So 468 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: you remember there was that whole thing about border patrol 469 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: agents or whipping migrants. Yes, and it was a completely 470 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: made up lie where they focused on the reins of 471 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: the horse. By the way, we were riding those horses. 472 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: We have long reins that are used for riding the horse, 473 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: but they weren't. I mean, it was a total lie 474 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: that got Democrats very excited because they're full investigation. 475 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 3: Ye should be fired immediately. 476 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: But when it comes to the cartels, look at lunchtime, 477 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: we sat down with local community leaders. We sat down 478 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: with the mayor McCallan, who's a Republican, a good friend. 479 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: We sat down with the sheriff of Brooks County. Brooks 480 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: County is north and where Brooks County is there's a 481 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: checkpoint at FW Furious And so what happens is the 482 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,479 Speaker 1: smugglers don't want to be caught at the checkpoint, so 483 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: they stop south of the checkpoint and they make all 484 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: the illegal immigrants get out and they go through Brooks 485 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: County to get around the checkpoint. And Brooks County is 486 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: a pretty rugged county. It's in the summer time, it's 487 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: brutally hot. There's not a lot of water there and 488 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: the number of deaths that they find. They just the 489 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: farmers and ranchers find dead bodies, one after the other 490 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,959 Speaker 1: after the other after the other. There are emergency beacons 491 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: that they've installed that have writing for illegal immigrants. The 492 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: first language you see is Chinese. Wow, they have writing 493 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: in Chinese. They have writing in Arabic, and it's pushed this. 494 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: If you're in distress, the border patrol will come rescue you, 495 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: but they go off and the coyotes. If you're in distress, 496 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: they just abandon you. 497 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't care if you're a friendant lady. 498 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: If you're elderly, if you're a little kid, you will die. 499 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: The sheriff of Brooks County had brought a three ring 500 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: binder with about one hundred different cases of bodies they'd 501 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: found in Brooks County. Wow, and I sat there band 502 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: and I flipped through it one at a time. The 503 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: conditions of those bodies, I have to tell you, I 504 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: was physically ill seeing in the heat. People's face gets charred, 505 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: they get blown up and enlarged. Just the effects of 506 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: the weather are grotesque. There were multiple young women who 507 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: had died, and every one of them had their pants 508 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: open and pulled down, and it was clear they'd been 509 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: raped before. They died, one after the other after the other. 510 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: And I actually made a point, I said, I'm going 511 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: to go through this entire book. These are human beings. 512 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: I need to see what's happening. I get to say, 513 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: I don't know a reporter at CNN or MSNBC or 514 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: ABC or CBS or NBC, who goes through that book, 515 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: who covers that book, who tells the story. These are 516 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: the Biden body bags. These are the people who are 517 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: dying because of your policies. 518 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 2: Last question on the border, how concerned re border patrol 519 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 2: agents over the possibility of terrorists not possibility, the reality 520 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: that terrorists are coming across at a much higher rate 521 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 2: than we've seen over the last five years combined. We 522 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 2: talked about this on a previous verdict, but this is 523 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 2: the first time you've been down there since these new 524 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 2: numbers have been released that are saying there's a significant 525 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 2: increase of terrorists that are on the terrorists watch list 526 00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 2: that we are catching. 527 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 3: The border does counting the ones that were not catching. 528 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: So look, they're very concerned. We talked about, particularly with 529 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: the war in Israel, Hamas and Hesbela specifically targeting coming 530 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: across the border. As we talked about in last week's podcast, 531 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: the San Diego Division of the Border Patrol instructed their 532 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: agents be on the lookout for people from Hamas and 533 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: Hesbela hiding and pretending that they're not in the Rio 534 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: Grand Valley. They said they had not encountered recently people 535 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: from Hamas and Hesbela, so in the last couple of 536 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: weeks that had not yet presented. They're worried about it. 537 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: They're watching for it now. It's worth noting if you're 538 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: a Hamas terrorist, you're not going to be in the 539 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: people that are turning themselves involuntarily. Sure, you're going to 540 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: be in the Godaways. And one of the real problem 541 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: is the volume is so great that it overwhelms the 542 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: Border Patrol agents, so that you have on any given 543 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: night no capacity to even chase the Godaways. And so 544 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: that evening muster was I was talking with Brandon Judd, 545 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: who's the head of the Border Patrol Union, a good friend. 546 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: He was with us, and he was saying, he said, 547 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: all right, that night, he said, typically that night there 548 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: would be about one hundred and seventy agents that are 549 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: available to go out on patrol. He said that night 550 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: there were thirty one that were available because all of 551 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: the rest were doing paperwork and processing and handling the 552 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: detention facility. So it should have been one hundred and 553 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: seventy some odd instead it was thirty one. That's part 554 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: of how the cartels overwhelm us is the bulk of 555 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: the manpower is not actually on the border securing it. 556 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 2: Their marsh is a great example. They're off planes now 557 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 2: processing at the border. 558 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: Yes, the exact same thing. And then so this group 559 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: that they encountered, So this group, there were several agents, 560 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: he said, Okay, they're thirty one that started at midnight 561 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: out on patrol. This one group, you've got twenty to 562 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: twenty five, mostly women and children. You have several agents 563 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: to go pick them up. You've got to detain them, 564 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: you've got to question them, you've got to process them. 565 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: He said, that group will take five to ten off 566 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: the field, so that means thirty one becomes twenty one. 567 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: By the way, where they were there was no transport bus, 568 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: so they had to load them in the back of 569 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: pickup trucks. All these kids in the back of pickup 570 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: trucks and you know what they told me. They said, okay, 571 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: this is against the rules. Yeah, but are they just 572 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: supposed to leave them here? What else are they supposed 573 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: to do. They don't have any vehicle to put him in, 574 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: so they put them in the back of the pickup 575 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: truck to take him in the processing center. And he said, 576 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: you know what if something happens, if that car gets 577 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: an erect, if a kid jumps out the back and 578 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: hurts himself, those agents will be disciplined or fired for 579 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: transporting them unsafely. And he said, now, there's no alternative 580 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: way to transport them. They could leave these children out here, 581 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: just say okay bye. 582 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 3: They could die. 583 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 1: There's a reason the Democrats don't come. There's a reason 584 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: CNN doesn't come. You cannot see this and spin it 585 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: and say, hey, this is great, this is perfectly okay. 586 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 2: Senator, I also want to bring in our guests. We've 587 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 2: talked a lot about kids, protecting kids. We also have 588 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 2: problems in this country where we have basically given our 589 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 2: kids over to the government and parents are trying to 590 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 2: get back in their kids' lives. Have been declared domestic 591 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 2: terrorists by our own government, which is shocking. A good 592 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 2: friend of the show, someone that you used to do 593 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 2: Verdict Plus with. People will know her from that. Liz 594 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 2: Wheeler has her own great show. She's got an incredible 595 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 2: new book out as well, and I know it was 596 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 2: important that we make sure we had her on Verdict. 597 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: Well, Liz, welcome back. Liz is my former co host 598 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: of Verdict. We did Verdict together. We traveled the country, 599 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: We went to college campuses together and dealt with young 600 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: leftists who had questions and wanted to be confronted with 601 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: the truth. And Liz does an amazing job on our 602 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: own show, on the Liz Wheeler Show, and she has 603 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: a brand new book, Hide Your Children, exposing the Marxists 604 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: behind the attack on American kids. 605 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 4: Liz, welcome back, Senator, Thanks so much for having me. 606 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: Thanks Ben, good to have you here. 607 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 2: Tell us a little bit about this book, why you 608 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 2: wanted to write it, and why so important, especially right now. 609 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, this book started as a question that I think 610 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 4: a lot of parents actually had the same question that 611 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 4: I had during COVID when we saw this increase in 612 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 4: attacks on our children. I mean, all parents had to 613 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 4: do is look over their kids shoulder on zoom school 614 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 4: and they'd see critical race theory and trans ideology, the 615 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 4: sixteen nineteen project, plus good old fashioned moral relativism just 616 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,439 Speaker 4: thrown at their kids. And I understand that this isn't 617 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 4: a new thing, that our kids are the target of 618 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 4: the left, but it did seem to be escalating. So 619 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 4: I wondered, well, where is this coming from, Who's behind this, 620 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 4: what's behind this, what's their goal? So the purpose of 621 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 4: this book is I sought to find the answer to 622 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 4: that question, and what I found was both frightening and frustrating. 623 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 4: The frightening part is that the left has spent decades 624 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 4: trying to get to our children, and to do so 625 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 4: they have co opted They've captured what I call four 626 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 4: of the five major cultural institutions, so the media, that's 627 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 4: an obvious one, the education says sadly, a lot of 628 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 4: religious institutions, to the law, which has become evident in 629 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 4: the last couple of years. And now they've set their 630 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 4: sights on the nuclear family, particularly on children. This is 631 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 4: the frightening part. The frustrating part is if this attack 632 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 4: on our children isn't new, if it's been decades in 633 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 4: the making, why haven't we been able to stop this? 634 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 4: What has the Republican Party been doing for all of 635 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 4: these decades to fight back. And so what I do 636 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 4: in the book, the first half of the book is 637 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 4: I name the names of the people and the organizations 638 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 4: that are behind the capture of the institutions, behind the 639 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 4: attack on our kids. And the second half of the 640 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 4: book is a critique of the Republican Party. I offer 641 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 4: a solution that I will tell you is different than 642 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 4: what the Republican Party offers for how we can actually 643 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 4: start winning, how we can recapture our institutions, how we 644 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 4: can protect our kids and therefore our country. 645 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: All Right, so let's take those one at a time. 646 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: You said the first half of the book, you're naming names. 647 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: So who are the biggest names, Who are the individuals 648 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: most responsible for the relentless attack on our kids? 649 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great question. So what I do in 650 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 4: the book is I make sure to differentiate between the 651 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 4: Marxists who conceived the ideas, many of whom are lung dead, 652 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 4: and the current Marxist, the modern Marxists that are alive 653 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 4: and well in our country today, who are propagating these 654 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,720 Speaker 4: ideas on our children. And I'll give you an example 655 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 4: of one of each one of the modern Marxists who's 656 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 4: propagating an entirely destructive ideology in our children is a 657 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 4: woman by the name of Gail Rubin. Gail Rubin is 658 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 4: known as the founder or she wrote the founding document 659 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 4: of queer theory. Queer theory is a neo Marxist theory that, 660 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 4: unsurprising to most of your viewers, is what underpins the 661 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 4: transgender ideology. So these poisonous ideas that are being taught 662 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 4: to children in school right now, that boys can be girls, 663 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 4: girls can be boys. Gender is not connected to biological sex. 664 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 4: Everything's fluid. This is not just a random assortment of nonsense. 665 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,720 Speaker 4: This is pulled directly from neo Marxist queer theory, which 666 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,479 Speaker 4: was penned by Gail Rubin, who is alive and well 667 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 4: in our country today. And yet most people, maybe in 668 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 4: the past couple months, they've heard about her because I've 669 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 4: been talking so much about her. Most people have never 670 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 4: heard of this woman, even though she's having such a 671 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 4: direct and destructive impact on our children. That's the first example. 672 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 4: The second example I will give is a Marxist who 673 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 4: is long dead, and that's a Marxist, a Brazilian Marxist, 674 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 4: actually by the name of Pallo Friari. He was the 675 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 4: one who contended that teachers in school shouldn't teach children 676 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 4: facts and knowledge, he should teach them a worldview, how 677 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 4: to view the world, and he called this worldview critical consciousness. 678 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 4: What critical consciousness is really is just teaching children to 679 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,280 Speaker 4: look at everything through a Marxist lens. And this idea 680 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 4: of critical consciousness is what exists in our public school 681 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 4: system today under the all encompassing, vague umbrella term of wokeness. 682 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 4: So I trace everything back to its origins and show 683 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 4: the manifestations of how it's impacting our kids in our 684 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 4: society in America today. 685 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 2: Liz, I want to ask you about moms specifically. I've 686 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 2: actually been inspired and I think TC and I and 687 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 2: we've been on the road, we've seen this. There are 688 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 2: a lot of moms have gotten off the bench and 689 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 2: are getting really involved with their kids and their kids 690 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 2: curriculum and what's having their schools and what they're being taught. 691 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 2: That's one of the biggest blessings I think of the 692 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 2: COVID lockdowns was moms got to see in the classroom 693 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 2: what was happening with their kids. I'm inspired by that, 694 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 2: and I think this is going to be something that 695 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 2: the liberals are going to have hell to pay now 696 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 2: with moms that are now involved. Is that part of 697 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 2: what you're seeing and inspiring you to write this book. 698 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's incredible to see how many parents, moms and 699 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 4: dads who've had their eyes opened. I think as conservatives, 700 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 4: we're generally people of good faith. We generally like to 701 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 4: give other people the benefit of the doubt. We generally 702 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 4: see the good in humanity, and sometimes because of that, 703 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 4: it can be difficult to look at our political opposition 704 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 4: and label them for what they are. We'd rather say, oh, 705 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 4: you know what, this is a well intentioned, good faith 706 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 4: opposition who just has unwise practical solutions to problems that 707 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 4: we all admit our problems. That's how the Republican Party 708 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,879 Speaker 4: actually has operated for the last fifty years. But I 709 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 4: think for the first time in many many parents' lives 710 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 4: during COVID they saw that, No, that's not true. Our 711 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 4: Democrat opposition are not well intentioned, well intentioned opposition who 712 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 4: want the best just ha but have bad ideas for 713 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 4: how to bring that about. They are in fact embracing 714 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 4: Neo Marxist, anti Christian anti Americans, sometimes anti human ideology, 715 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 4: and it's a really important step in fighting back against 716 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 4: this to be able to define what the other side is. 717 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 4: That's why I spent so much time doing that in 718 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 4: the first half of my book, because if we don't 719 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 4: understand the reality of this political enemy we face, we 720 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 4: won't fight well against it. And if we don't fight well, 721 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 4: we won't win. And I'm tired of not winning. I'm 722 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 4: ready to win. As I know everyone watching the show 723 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 4: is too. 724 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: Amen. All right, Liz, last question. You said the second 725 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: half of the book focuses on a critique of the 726 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: Republican Party and what we need to do better to 727 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: fight back. What does the Republican Party need to do 728 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: to stop this madness? 729 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 4: Honestly, this is the part of the book that I'm 730 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 4: proudest of, and I know it's the part that's ruffled 731 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 4: some feathers a little bit, but I stand by this 732 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 4: one hundred percent. So I'll give you an example of 733 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 4: one of the most interesting pieces of information that I 734 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 4: found in the course of researching this book. Our public 735 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 4: school system was not mandatory. Children were not compelled to 736 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 4: go to public school until you're eighteen fifty two. In 737 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 4: eighteen fifty two, the state of Massachusetts became the first 738 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 4: state to compel public education. And the reason why was 739 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 4: because there was an influx of immigrants to our country 740 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,879 Speaker 4: at the time, particularly Catholic immigrants, and the Protestant politicians 741 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,320 Speaker 4: in charge wanted to indoctrinate these immigrant children in American 742 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 4: values so that they would be loyal to America first 743 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 4: rather than the country of their birth, and in Protestant 744 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 4: doctrine because of the centuries long battle between Protestants and Catholics, 745 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 4: and I realized that our institutions were never intended to 746 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 4: be neutral institutions. Our school system was never intended to 747 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 4: simply teach reading, writing, and arithmetic and otherwise be value neutral. 748 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 4: We as conservatives and the Republican Party, do not harness 749 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 4: these institutions to teach children our values. What's going to 750 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 4: happen is the left is going to swoop in and 751 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 4: teach their own. The Republican Party has fallen for the 752 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 4: false idea of tolerance and neutrality which doesn't exist. And 753 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 4: perhaps the philosophical reason for this is because they misdefine 754 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 4: the word liberty. They define liberty as simply the maximum 755 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 4: amount of individual freedom possible in a civil society, when 756 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 4: really our government was formed around the idea that liberty 757 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 4: is the means to something greater, that there's a moral 758 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 4: the thing that is greater is a moral thing, and 759 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 4: that our society, a flourishing society, is intended to try 760 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 4: to attain that. And Republicans have gotten very shy of 761 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 4: bringing religion or morals or anything of that nature into 762 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 4: our politics, and it's been to our detriment. We wouldn't 763 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 4: be in the chaos, the cultural chaos that we exist 764 00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 4: and now if Republicans had not surrendered both institutions the 765 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 4: name of neutrality and morality and virtue in the name 766 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 4: of libertarianism to the left a long time ago. 767 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:07,959 Speaker 3: List. 768 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 2: Congratulations on the new book, Grab It for your kids, 769 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 2: your grandkids.
