WEBVTT - Border Madness: In-Depth from the Border-Traffickers, Terrorists & Tragedy 0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:01.480 Center. 0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:03.480 Nice to be with you in the studio as always. 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:05.520 You just got back from the border, and I want 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:09.000 to get into this. It's not really shocking, but it's 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:13.000 very concerning now from a national security standpoint. How bad 0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:14.680 has it gotten compared to what it was even just 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:15.640 last time you were there. 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:18.680 Well, it keeps getting worse and worse. So I was 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.160 down on the border Thursday and Friday of last week, 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:24.520 and so the Senate was in session. I was in 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.080 DC until Thursday afternoon and then jumped on a plane 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:30.440 and I flew down to McCallen Thursday night, and I 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.680 brought along with me four other Senators, John Cornyn, and 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.120 he and I often host our colleagues down at the 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.400 southern border, and we also had with us John Barrosso 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.520 and Mike Lee and Pete Ricketts, and so the five 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:45.839 of us came down. We landed. The first thing we did, 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.880 we went straight from the airport to the midnight muster 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.240 of the Border patrol agents and there were about fifty 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.240 Border patrol agents gathered the musters where they sit and 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.040 talk right before they go out on duty. And we 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.280 had a good discussion with the border patrol agents. Really, 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.839 I just stood up and told them thank you. More 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.240 than anything, I wanted them to hear from me, thank you, 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.360 thank you, thank you. To tell them and I said 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.839 exactly this. I said, Listen, I travel all over Texas, 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.679 I travel all over the country. You need to know 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.600 that the American people appreciate what you're doing. Their morale's 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.039 low right now, it's incredibly low. I mean that they 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.200 are working for bosses who undermined them, who undercut them, 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.800 who make their jobs impossible to do. All right, I'll 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:30.840 tell you something. So we did, each of us spoke 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:32.560 to them a few minutes, and we open it up 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.000 for Q and A, and we asked the border patrol agents, Okay, 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.720 what should we know that we don't know. One of 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.000 the things we learned which I had never heard, which 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.120 is in the past year, the Biden administration has put 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:49.240 out new guidelines for pursuit of illegal aliens. This is 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.920 illegal aliens that are running, that are trying to get away. 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.400 And the guidelines you'd have to effectively call them guidelines 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:59.640 for non pursuit because they are told you cannot pursue 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:04.760 illegal aliens if there is anything that could potentially endanger 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.160 someone's safety. So what does that mean? It means if 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.040 in a car they have four people in the back 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.160 seat and you know there are only three seat belts, 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.240 you're not allowed to pursue them. Just let them go, 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.799 Just let them go. It means if they run a 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.799 stop sign, you must immediately stop pursuing them and let 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.480 them go. And what they said happens is a practical matter. 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.520 They said, look, the cartels know this memo has gone out, 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.640 the memo of non pursuit, and so when they see 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.440 someone and try to apprehend them, if they have illegal 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.800 aliens hiding like huddled down, they'll all sit up so 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:41.440 you can see. Wait, there are more of us though, 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.280 there are seat belts, and the border patrol agents have 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.800 to stop and just let them drive away. Wow. 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.400 And it came down, I'm assuming, from the top from Mayorcis. 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.880 In the past year. It was written instruction basically that 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.680 they're prevented from pursuing. And they said things like the 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.359 stop signs that the coyotes now know, Okay, break a 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.760 traffic law immediately as soon as you see border patrol 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.400 do something dangerous, run a stop sign and run a 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:09.240 red light, any feed whatever, because the instant you do that, 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.280 they're required to stop pursuit. And of course, so it's 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.799 encouraging them to run red lights and do things that 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:19.240 are dangerous because of the idiocy of the policy. All right, 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.520 So we did that. Then we went out on midnight patrol, 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.680 and that's something I do almost every time. I'm down 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.840 at the border and you go out and you're looking 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:33.600 to see where illegal aliens are. And we were out 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:37.040 maybe forty five minutes to an hour when we encountered 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:41.880 a group. This group was a group mostly of women 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.960 and children. It was about maybe twenty women and children, 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.680 mostly kids. And we stood there and we talked to 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.080 them for about thirty forty minutes, and we asked them 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:58.440 where they were from. They were from Guatemala, they were 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:03.000 from El Salvador. A number of them were unaccompanied miners. 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.280 There was one little girl, a very cute little girl, 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.400 was thirteen years old. She had no family with her. 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.920 There was another boy who was fifteen years old. He 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.080 had no family with her. There was another girl who 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.160 was sixteen years old. She had no family with her. 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.919 They're all in this group. So we asked them. We said, okay, 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:28.320 well where are you going? And they told different places 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.160 they were going. One said he was going to Oregon. 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:36.200 Another said she was going to Virginia and we said, 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.960 well where, you know where? And their answer was the 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.760 same every one of them. They said their teal was there. 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:48.280 Teo is Spanish for uncle, meet tal, meet thial. And 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.279 we'd ask, okay, so does your uncle know you're coming? No, 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.520 And it started to really dawn on us in a 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:01.919 really depressing way that these kids weren't going to an uncle, 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:07.320 that they were being they're being trafficked, they're being sent somewhere. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.680 They're all told to say they're going to see their theo. 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.680 We asked them how many of them had experienced violence 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:24.200 and assault on the trip. I have to say, Ben, 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:29.200 the look on those kids' faces. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:29.640 Because they know what you're asking. 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:36.159 Their look answered it, and they basically just said it's everywhere, 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:42.080 it's constant. The one that was haunting for me was 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.120 in the back. There was this man, a grown man, 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.760 maybe thirty five years old, and he was with a 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:55.120 little girl who was ten, and he said she was 0:05:55.120 --> 0:06:00.440 his daughter. She said he was her dad. It was 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.880 obvious to everyone he was lying, he was not her father. 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.479 He had his arm around her and it was like 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.400 locked tight, like he was holding her almost so she 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:18.479 wouldn't run away. And the look of terror in that 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:25.320 little girl's face. She was so frightened of this large, 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.120 sweaty man who had his arm around her and was 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:33.560 saying he was her father. And there's a frustration and 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.880 helplessness that there's nothing we can do. That's nothing the 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:40.680 border could patrol can do, because when they take them in, 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:46.400 the Biden administration instructs them release them. And you know, 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.120 during the Trump administration, they had a policy that they 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:53.920 were DNA testing in particular adult man who would present 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.400 with young children and claim to be their fathers, because 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.160 this was a persistent problem, and they DNA tests them 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.360 nor of thirty percent of them had no match. They 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:07.120 were not their fathers. Now, think for a second about 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.840 what the risks are of handing a ten year old girl, oh, 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.280 grow a man who a grown man who is not 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:19.000 her father. And the reason for this is the policy 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.280 under Obama and the policy under Biden is if you 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.680 show up with a kid, you get let go immediately. 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.360 And so there's a value to bring that child, to 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:32.600 bring story. The cartels effectively rent these kids. But I 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.880 gotta say it was sick looking at that little girl 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.920 in any sane world, you'd say, get your damn hands. 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.760 Off her, and we're gonna DNA test. 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.520 We're going to DNA test you, and when we find 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.160 out you're not her dad, you're going to be arrested. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.000 Can they even separate the way from the child. 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.720 But Biden canceled the DNA tests, Like you want to 0:07:55.760 --> 0:08:00.080 talk about one of the great scandals, these Democrats who 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:04.200 who prance around and say they're so compassionate. They no 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:08.240 longer test to find out if father and alleged daughter 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.960 or father an alleged son are related because they don't 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.239 want to know, they don't care. They are perfectly happy 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.960 just leaving a pedophile with a little girl or a 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.320 little boy who's being abused. I mean, it's sick. I've 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.520 never seen so. I've raised this in judiciary committeings repeatedly. 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:29.760 I've never seen a Democrat give any reason, compassionate, rational 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.880 Why wouldn't you DNA test it when you know. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.920 Because you could accept the trafficking at that moment. 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.720 But they don't want to that. Their objective is to 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.280 be efficient. They want it to be fast. They want more, 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.640 more and more and more and more. I got to 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:49.480 say it was and all five of us. I mean, 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.120 we were shaken up. When you're looking at little girls, 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.680 all or almost all of whom had been sexually assaulted recently, 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:02.320 you could tell the trauma was evident in everything about them, 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:08.040 and it's horrifying. The little thirteen year old girl, she 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.160 was going to see her teo. She just had a 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:16.360 number to call. Sarah Carter from Fox News was there 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:17.959 and she said, oh, you want to call him? I 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:19.200 have a cell phone. Do you want to call him 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.000 here on my phone? No? No, no, no, no, like 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:23.160 with absolute fear. 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.480 Look, and this is every day, all day, twenty four 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:28.000 hours a day. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:33.760 Now, in all likelihood, that little girl is going to 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:40.199 spend the next several years trapped in forced prostitution. And 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.840 that was one day, in one hour. There's a reason 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.360 it was interesting. We were talking to the border patrol 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.280 agents and we were asking, Okay, do Democrats come down here? 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.640 Do they see this? And they said no, and they 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.199 said they don't. And they said there are a couple 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.600 who've come down and they said they do totally different 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.640 things than you guys the Republicans do. They said they 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.800 will ever go out on midnight patrol because they don't 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:07.240 want to actually see the kids who are being abused, 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:08.880 because I guess then they would have to lie about 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.160 it if they've never seen it. What they do instead 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.040 is they go in to the headquarters. They don't want 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.120 to actually see the illegal aliens, and they say, Okay, Tuck, 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.640 talk to us about what kind of food you're giving 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.240 and what kind of medical care you're giving and what 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.000 kind of Their whole focus is like a welfare worker, 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.840 where they assume the border patrol is a bad guy 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.840 and can we give them more stuff? Is basically what 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.640 the handful of Democrats who go down there do now, 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.880 mind you, Kamala Harris has been to the southern borders 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:42.240 zero times since she became the borders are Joe Biden 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.360 has ostensibly been to the border once he went to 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.640 El Paso, except when he went there, he didn't go 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.600 to any border, any migrant facilities, and his advanced team 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.920 cleared all the illegal immigrants off the street. So he 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.840 went to a bridge, he met with some government officials, 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.680 and he left and according to the White House, he 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:05.280 did not see a single illegal alien. That is a heartlessness, 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.120 because when you see these people, by the way, we 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.719 did that on midnight patrol also in that group was 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.000 a couple, a husband and wife with a little girl 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.480 that were from Moldova. The little girl was beautiful, blonde, 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.960 blonde curls, maybe two three years old, a gorgeous little girl. 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:28.960 They had gone from Moldova to Holland, to South America, 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:33.920 to Central America, to Mexico, and then trafficked up into 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:39.960 the United States, a many month trip to come from Moldova. 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.640 And I'll tell you that couple, it was evident they 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:48.120 had gone through hell, especially the Eastern Europeans. The Border 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.760 of Patrol agents told us they will never tell you 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.320 what happened to them. That they're very disciplined, like if 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.520 you ask, they're just they don't answer questions. No, no, no, 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.480 they won't. They said they're from Moldova, that's it. But 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.000 they won't describe what They're too afraid of the cartels. 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.920 They're too afraid of what the cartels would do to 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:10.559 them that they won't describe what happened. But again, it 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:15.560 was obvious these people had gone through hell. And it 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:21.840 makes you angry because this is entirely preventable. And the 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.240 reporters Kareem John Pierre, We've talked about this a lot 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.560 on the pod stood up and said, well, people are 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.520 not just walking across the border. And you remember I 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.240 invited her. I said, kareem, come with me. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.359 And I'll show you them walking across the border. 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.720 Within an hour. And this last time we found this 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:36.560 group within an hour. 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:37.640 How big was the group? 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:42.480 About twenty mostly kids, little little kids, three and four 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:47.360 year old kids, teenagers, several moms, a couple of men, 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:53.120 but it was mostly women and children. And the border 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.920 patrol agents told us they said, in all likelihood, every 0:12:55.960 --> 0:13:00.480 one of these children has been sexually abused repeatedly once 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:06.200 that that's just part of the trip being trafficked, is 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:11.600 that you are going to be violently raped repeatedly. And 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.719 I don't understand how if you're Joe Biden, if you're 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.920 Chuck Schumer, how you don't care about that. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.640 You've seen this a lot. The others that were with 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.560 you when they left, what was their demeanor. I mean, 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.760 you bring other sinners with you, some of them not 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:30.800 from border states. 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.360 It's disturbing at a level, like when you see it. 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.640 It's different when you look in the eyes of a 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.880 ten year old girl who is with an adult male 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:47.040 pretending to be her father. You want to rescue that girl. Yeah, 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.400 but there's nothing you can do there in custody. 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.559 Can they even you know, like when you have normal 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.040 investigations us and something happens, they'll usually separate. 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.640 Even if you're two good guys, they'll separate you to 0:13:59.640 --> 0:13:59.959 get your. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.800 Stories to see And I've been told the Biden administration 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.480 doesn't even allow them to be separated anymore. 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.479 Is that. Well, the bar patrol will do some investigation 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:12.160 if they're behaving very unusually, we'll do some investigation, and 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:16.520 they will occasionally find people who are obviously abusing kids, 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:22.200 but that's not their mandate. Their mandate is process as 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:23.080 fast as possible. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:24.400 So it's churn and burn. 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:28.320 Yeah, it's speed. And by the way, look. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.600 And that really happened to go back in time to 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.360 remind people when there was a humanitarian issue and there 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.920 were some people into that bridge and they started getting 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.720 the drones up and the media were covering it, and 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.600 there was tens of thousands of people under this bridge. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.080 It was a humanitarian pr problem. That's when they went 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.040 into full expedite and get as fast as they come 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.200 in release them so that we don't look like we 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.480 have a problem at the border with a bunch of 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:52.640 people gathering. 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.560 And by the way, release them means send them to 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.800 every city in America. Yeah, you look at this supplemental 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:03.120 bill that the Biden White House wants Israel military funding, 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.040 but they also want Ukraine added to it. They also 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.280 want what they call border security, which has nothing to 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.120 do with border security. It's a whole bunch of money 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.640 for more people to process illegal aliens faster, to put 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.520 them on more buses and more planes. All right. That 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.720 was Thursday night. Friday morning, we wake up, we meet 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.560 with senior leadership of the Border Patrol for a briefing 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:25.000 on what's happening. The numbers that continue to skyrocket were 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.920 upwards of seven point nine million illegal aliens under Joe Biden, 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:37.280 seven point nine million. After that, we went to the 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:41.480 Ursula facility, which is a facility that is processing illegal immigrants. 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.640 There were hundreds and hundreds of illegal immigrants and holding cells. 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.560 They separate them. So there were adult males. There were 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.680 adult males with criminal convictions. They get lots of adult 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.280 males with criminal convictions, they separate them. That's just us convictions. 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:56.920 By the way, they don't know if they have convictions 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.080 in Honduras or El Salvador or Venezuela. That's just if 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:05.560 you ask criminal convictions. There are single women. There was 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:10.160 a separate holding cell for pregnant women, filled with pregnant women. 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.080 Who have kids in America. 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.920 They will have kids in America that will be US citizens. 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:20.760 There right there, there was another cell that was just 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.520 for people that are sick, that are coming in with 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.160 infectious diseases. You look at this, and by the way, 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:31.720 these cells the illegal immigrants are many of them are 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.680 sleeping on the floor. They're packed in side by side 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.360 like sardines. I mean a cell will be oh, I 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:43.280 don't know, thirty feet wide by sixty feet long, something 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.160 like that, and you'll have one hundred illegal immigrants in 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.880 there and they'll be lying on the floor, side by 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:54.360 side by side, covered in reflective blankets, looks like tinfoil, 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.160 and they're just in there. That's every day. By the way, 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.640 those remember the kids in cages, Yeah, those are the 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:07.320 Biden cages. They're still there. And no Democrat cares, Nobody 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:11.000 in the media. Nope, it just it doesn't matter at all. 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.600 From there, we went to a stash house. So this 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:18.320 is a stash house. They had just busted. The stash 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:27.800 house was an incredibly dilapidated, nasty house. They had busted it, 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.080 and they found two illegals held in there right there, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.040 and so they arrested them. We saw them pulling them 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.840 out in handcuffs as we arrived. I mean we were 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.840 there minutes after they busted it. Those tend to be 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:44.320 much more dangerous illegal aliens. Why because the ones that 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:48.280 are more dangerous try to run an escape. Many of 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.600 them just turned themselves in. But if you've got a 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.360 criminal conviction, if you're a gang member, if you're MS thirteen, 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.840 if you're a murderer, a rapist, a child molestor if 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.879 you're a terrorist, those are the ones that want to 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.479 be got aways. And so the cartels will put them 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.000 in stash houses and hold them for a day or 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.840 two and then try to put them on a bus 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.000 or you know, put them on some transport to get 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:11.000 get them into the interior. So these stash houses are 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.720 located all over the place, down on the southern border. 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.439 This stash house, like we opened the door, it was 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:21.800 this totally dilapidated house. There were there were wet clothes. 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.280 They had clearly closed across the river recently because they 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.399 were soaking wet clothes that were just thrown on the 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:32.600 ground right there. There were piles of clothing, shoes, shirts, 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.680 I mean just piled up. There was one tiny little 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.760 air conditioner in the house, but the walls were falling down. 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:45.119 The house was filthy, it's stunk and that, and and 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:46.919 they don't know who owned it that. They said, that 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.120 house has probably been rented to twenty different people. They'll 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.800 try to track down. But the cartels, by the way, 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:54.680 there was a lock on the outside, so they put 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:56.000 the illegals in there and lock them in. 0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:58.800 Unbelievable. 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.639 There was not a caretaker there when they busted it. 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.400 So sometimes they'll have the cartel person watching them. And look. 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.240 The stash houses are also where they will rape women. Again. 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.400 They will shake people down for more money. In that case, 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:14.080 they were just holding these two guys. The two guys 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:18.440 they pulled out were both single adult men, I'd say 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:22.480 twenties or thirties, military age men, lots of tats, pretty 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.280 rough looking guys. They got pulled out in handcuffs. We 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:31.600 don't know their story. From there. We went out on 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:35.119 horseback patrol, and so the border Patrol has a whole 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.760 division that is on horseback because much of the terrain 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.280 there you can't even get to with vehicles. And so 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:44.439 we spent about an hour on horseback patrolling and riding 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:49.040 along the Rio Grande. Then we met with local leaders, 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.960 including the mayor of a big Mexican city on the 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.880 other side of the border, who was expressing enormous frustration. Said, look, 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:59.679 your policies are killing us, are resulting in my city 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:03.200 be invaded. He said, We've got tens of thousands of 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.600 people camping out in my city because when they come 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.720 to the United States, you guys let him go. Now, 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.320 his argument, what he wanted is he said, couldn't you 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:12.960 just take him at the embassy so they don't have 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:14.840 to come to the border. Look, he was fine with 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:17.479 us letting him all in. He just didn't want them 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.919 to have to cross through his city. So he's like, 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:21.880 can't you be even more efficient and like flying from 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.760 Mexico City or something. I wasn't terribly interested in that suggestion. 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:26.600 Yeah, fair point. 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:28.520 And then the last thing we did is we went 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.359 out with border patrol on the boat went up and 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:33.840 down the river. It was interesting, you're going to up 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:38.040 and down the river all along the shore. We probably 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:43.000 saw twenty different discarded rafts that are like green vinyl, 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.119 but they were done. They were sort of you know, 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.400 thracks out and just just laying along the laying along 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.960 the shore, probably twenty of them that had been used 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:57.080 to either shuttle illegal aliens or shuttle drugs. And then 0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.640 several times we saw people that the Border Patrol agent 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:05.320 said were cartel scouts that were just Mexicans on the 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:07.359 Mexican side of the border. They were like standing a 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.080 little bit in the river and like pretending to fish 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.840 or something, but they weren't really fishing. They were there 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.920 watching us to radio back, Okay, here's what the Border 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:18.400 Patrol is doing. And then we ended with a press conference. 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.160 But you know the press conference, we tried to talk 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.720 about what happened. What is happening at the border is 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:25.760 horrific and it keeps getting words. 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.119 I want to tell you real quick about our friends 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.720 that Gusta precious metals.

Well, I 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:41.199 didn't want a bad investment, but I didn't want to 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.040 miss the boat either and that probably sounds familiar to 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:44.600 a lot of you. 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.520 Fortunately for you, I've got great news. 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:49.960 If you have an IRA or a four oh one 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:54.359 K and want to buy physical gold, eliminate fear and 0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:59.280 uncertainty from the process using the new Gold Ira Company 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:03.399 in Pegrity checklists.
