Speaker 1: These folks suffered so much in those Biden years, so

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: much as a result of the violence and the chaos

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: and the destruction of an open border, and they are

11

Speaker 4: Enforcement and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying

49
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,839

00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,799

Speaker 3: introduce you to our partner for this very special event,

65
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: but before we do that, we think it'd be fitting

66
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: it begins such an extraordinary evening with a rendition of

67
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: our national anthem. My amazing co host Amanda Head has

68
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: a very special guest to help lead us in that

00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,680

70
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: Take excited to have her here. This is someone who

71
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: we in our sphere have known about for a very

72
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: long time, and she's an incredible performer. But as you said,

73
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: American Border Story does so much important work, and as

74
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: the name implies, they are telling the stories of people

75
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: whose stories really have not been told on such a

76
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: national stage. And I think it's direly important for those

77
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: stories to be told. And I'm delighted that that's going

78
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: to happen tonight. And I cannot think of a better

79
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: way to start tonight than with this perfect rendition of

94
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 3: What a way to start this incredible night tonight. Now,

95
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: none of this celebration tonight would be possible without the

96
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: generosity and dedication of our partner tonight. The American Border

97
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: story for the last many years, TABS as it is known,

98
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: has told the stories that the legacy media refused to

99
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: tell and aided the victims and the frontline responders of

100
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: a border crist self made by the Biden administration. We

101
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: all know that. Allow me to introduce to you a

102
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: little more about this great organization with the screen video.

103
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: Take a watch.

104
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: I think it's no secret that the Biden administration failed us.

105
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: The lack of border control, the lack of securing our borders.

106
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 10: This is a.

107
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: Result of that.

108
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 13: Biden didn't care about drugs pouring into our country. Biden

109
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 13: didn't care about children being trafficked. He didn't care about anything.

110
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 16: Now, they usually try to doctor it up, they call

111
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 16: it undocumented. I just call it illegal, because bottom line is,

112
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 16: if this gentleman wasn't in the country, my kid would

113
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 16: be here.

114
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 8: A lot of anger and a lot of things.

115
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 17: They don't want to stay on camera because they weren't good.

116
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 16: Thoughts hopefully's in prison for a while and hopefully after

117
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 16: that he rots, and hell, I have no sympathy for.

118
00:07:51,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 7: Him, an absolute horror.

119
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 14: We meet enforcements, we have the old terms than to

120
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 14: where city laws.

121
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 10: But you know why that's not happening, because we have

122
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 10: a harbrible city council who is all progressive and they

123
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 10: support this stuff.

124
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 13: And then he strangled her because he didn't want her

125
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 13: to be able to live to tell the story.

126
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 5: And she's so much more than that, and that hasn't

127
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: been portrayed often.

128
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 16: But I believe the presidents get rid of some of

129
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 16: the trash people that are troublemakers, felons, murderers, drug dealers.

130
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 4: Human traffickers, gang members, and other criminals from the streets

131
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 4: of dangerous cities. But we are getting them out and

132
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,599
Speaker 4: getting them out fast.

133
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 5: And now I will forever be a grieving mother, and

134
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 5: my son will forever be a grieving brother who will.

135
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 14: No longer get to grow up with.

136
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 6: His The illeg immigration is not a victimus crime. Okay,

137
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 6: So every sick person we take off the streets, especially

138
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 6: child rapist, it makes this country much safer.

139
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 8: All the time.

140
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 13: When my time comes, I would like somebody to remember

141
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 13: my son, to remember him on his birthday, to remember

142
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 13: him on his anniversary, on Father's Day, and bring him

143
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 13: a little flower on Christmas. That would mean a lot

144
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 13: to me because I don't want my son to have

145
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 13: died in vain.

146
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,920

00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 18: tragically killed. We produce creative and documentary style content to

162
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 18: tell these powerful stories. Our phenomenal team at the American

163

Speaker 3: thank you for turning grief into greatness, for doing what

171
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: you did to make this country see there was a

172
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: better path. You are the true heroes tonight, along with

173
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: the great men and women we're going to honor tonight.

174
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 3: All right, In a second, we're going to kick off

175
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 3: our discussion with a panel of law enforcement officials who

176
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 3: help clean up the Biden border mess. But before we

177
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: do that, let's go back out to Amanda for a

178
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: quick reaction from one of our guests.

179
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: Hey, John, Yes, Chris Bergard here from the audience. Documentary

180
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: filmmaker Chris, thank you so much for being here, and

181
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: thank you again all of you. I don't know if

182
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: I had a chance to say that.

183
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: Thanks for having it.

184
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 19: It's like Old Home Week back here. You know, it's

185
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 19: so excited what y'all are doing. Two years ago, Tom.

186
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 3: Holm and I were on the border.

187
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 19: In two days we saw more military personnel coming across

188
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 19: the border i'd seen eighteen years. We documented how Joe

189
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 19: Biden excuse me, helped start the largest child trafting organization

190
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 19: on the planet. We took that to Congress under Biden,

191
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 19: they did nothing. Now because of Tom Home and the President,

192
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 19: things are turning around.

193
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: I love it. Tell us about your documentary filmmaking.

194
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 3: Oh Man.

195
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 19: Back in two thousand and five, I ended up on

196
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 19: the border and came back to tell the stories, and

197
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 19: Hollywood didn't want to hear that. They kicked me out

198
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 19: of Hollywood. So spent the next twenty years on and

199
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 19: off the border with the ranchers and law enforcement down there.

200
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 19: I've just been blessed. When we first did Border, we

201
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 19: played it for Congress and the Texas Sheriff's Boorder Coalition

202
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 19: game and said, hey, you put on film. Well, we've

203
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 19: been trying to tell DC and they're ignoring us. So

204
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 19: that was the beginning of relationship with them. Stuff like

205
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 19: you know, back when the Mexican military was working security

206
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 19: for the cartels and coming across.

207
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 3: The border in Texas.

208
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 19: No one was talking about it, you know, But you've

209
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 19: got men here tonight that have been fighting this for years.

210
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 19: And I think America is really lucky to meet these people.

211
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I can't wait to dive into so many

212
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: of these stories. Obviously, we wish that none of you

213
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: were here for the reason that you are here, but

214
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: we are delighted to bring recognition to your family members

215
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: and to bring remembrance to their stories. You brought up

216
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: the children who have been lost into the interior of

217
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: this country. Tell us about how that impacted you.

218
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 19: You know, in the old days, when we're tracking bad

219
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 19: guys through the deserts or the pastors of South Texas,

220
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 19: usually they were caring dope narcotics. Now when you get

221
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 19: I mean, they're still bringing narcotics in, but it's kids.

222
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 19: And there was a gut punch two years ago down

223
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 19: on the river and run into a load kids they

224
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 19: were bringing over. And the woman that was bringing them over,

225
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 19: the coyote had just dropped them off, and she looked

226
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 19: at me and she just started crying because she's holding

227
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 19: this little baby and it's African baby. It's obviously not hers,

228
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 19: because she knows that I know what's going to happen

229
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 19: to that kid. And what people have to understand, this

230
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 19: is not by accident. Joe Biden, under him brought in

231
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 19: over half a million parentless children, half a million. One

232
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 19: of the first things they did when he got in

233
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 19: was they stopped doing the biometric DNA testing the prison.

234
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 19: Trump put in this was by design. These kids are

235
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 19: going back into trafficking because the last administration.

236
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: The Biden administration, let that contract with that biotesting company expire,

237
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: and it was barely a blip on the radio with

238
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, as was all of the hundreds of

239
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: thousands of children who were lost into the interior of

240
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: the country. But someone who was the first person to

241
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: sound that bell up on Capitol Hill, one of a

242
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: frequent guests on our program in a friend of the program,

243
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Congressman Glenn Grothman, is in studio with us tonight

244
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: along with a whole host of other experts who are

245
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: going to be joining John on panels. John, why don't

246
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: you take it away seven minutes?

247
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: All right, folks, what a what a great conversation. I

248
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: feel a little underdressed right now. Because I don't have

249
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: a badge or a cowboy hat or a sheriff's had

250
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 3: I should say, but I am surrounded by four heroes

251
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: of the front lines of the border crisis. We'll be

252
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: talking about life on the front lines for law enforcement offices,

253
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: what it was like four years ago, what it is

254
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: like now. I'm joined here on set by Border patrol. Oh,

255
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, bye, let me get him here, so I

256
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: have a little bit of a thing. Panell County Sheriff

257
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: Mark Limb, thank you for having me. I appreciate it.

258
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: Always got to have you on from Texas. The golieat

259
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: County Sheriff Roy Boyd is here. Good to have you, sir,

260
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: Gray donord to have you here. Retired Santa Sino County

261
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 3: Sheriff Greg Capers, you're here, welcome, Thank you for your

262
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: great service and work. And down on my left to

263
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: my left ear Liberty County Constable Captain Brian Nichols, Good

264
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: to have you here, sir. All right, you guys, I

265
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 3: saw the last four years. You knew what it was like. Sure,

266
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 3: if you have been on many times on a show

267
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: you gave us those frontline reports in Arizona. How bad

268
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 3: was it at the height of the Biden crisis.

269
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 20: Well, look, we were talking about this backstage. I don't

270
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 20: think we could even really tell the American people just

271
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 20: how bad it was, how violent the car tells, how

272
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 20: many women were being trafficked and raped, and how many

273
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 20: children were being trafficked in this country, men being extorted,

274
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 20: people being left for dead in the deserts. We tried

275
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 20: for four years to sound the alarm, and thankfully, I

276
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 20: think towards the end the American people somewhat heard that

277
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 20: message because we got some reprieve in President Trump and

278
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 20: this administration. So I thank you for having me on

279
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 20: all those times, because I think that if it wasn't

280
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 20: for the men that are up here today and so

281
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 20: many other great people, friends like Art de Queto from

282
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 20: Border Patrol, so many guys that have been saying what

283
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 20: needs to be said, And unfortunately it was probably a

284
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 20: lot worse than what we were even being able to

285
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 20: really show the American people because it was so violent

286
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 20: and awful.

287
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: Your constables, your deputy saw a lot of anythings that

288
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 3: we can even talk about. Schure Boyd, it's a lot

289
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: different right now. How quickly did it change after January

290
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: twentieth it changed drastically.

291
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 21: And when we found was that once trub took office

292
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 21: and he assigned Mike Banks to be the chief of

293
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 21: Border Patrol, our ability to locate illegal aliens coming across

294
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 21: the border tried up extremely fat smuggling organizations that we

295
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 21: were investigating could no longer put together loads.

296
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: As a result of the great.

297
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 21: Work that the men and women of Board Patrol are doing,

298
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 21: and it has been a much welcome relief for US

299
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 21: in law enforcement and for the citizens due out South Texas.

300
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 3: I'm so lucky that you guys kept the front lines

301
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 3: protected during that whole time. Captain Nichols, I want to

302
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: turn to you for a second. People say, well, we

303
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 3: don't want to ever let this happen again. You are

304
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: on the front lines, you know what it's like. What

305
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: are the tools that Congress Washington need to give local

306
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: LA enforcement to make sure this never happens again.

307
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 17: Empower local law for with immigration enforcement authority. We need that,

308
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 17: right Yes, sir, many departments are volunteering now and starting

309
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 17: to cooperate, But then there are some in those sanctuary

310
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 17: states and cities that can't engage you if they want to,

311
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 17: So federal legislation would.

312
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 3: Change that, wouldn't it. Yes, very good, that's awesome, Sheriff.

313
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 3: You know, truth telling is such an important part of this.

314
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: There were some in the media, some in politics that

315
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 3: didn't want people to see the truth. We got that

316
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 3: truth out there because every day men like you stood

317
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: up and said it's bad here, we need help. What

318
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 3: is the lesson that all of us in America need

319
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: to learn from when we're deceived about when we're told

320
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 3: the border secure and we know it's not. How do

321
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: we overcome that in the future.

322
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 22: You know, I have no clue other than the media

323
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 22: needs to quit making up their own stories, their own

324
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 22: own lines to better themselves and better their their their

325
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 22: further advancement within the organization, if they would just get

326
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 22: back tell the truth. I've been down to the border

327
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 22: several times, was interviewed by a lady from California, and

328
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 22: what I had to tell her did not fit her storyline,

329
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 22: her what she was sitting down there for. So they

330
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 22: turned the cameras off and turned around and walking.

331
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: If you capture something that's very true, we all know

332
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 3: it now. There's a defined narrative, and then you just

333
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: try to find facts to fit it. They don't want

334
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: to tell the truth. You all told the truth. The

335
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 3: men and women on the front lines, they've had a

336
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: rough four years. I know there's optimism now because the

337
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: law is coming back and the orders coming back. Resources sure,

338
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 3: if that you think surf land that you think need

339
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 3: to be made available to the frontline officers, what do

340
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: they need?

341
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 20: Well, I think the federal government needs the assistance of

342
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 20: local law enforcement. I think that helps with the resources

343
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 20: on local law enforcement, we all could use a few

344
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 20: more deputies and a few more officers. That comes through

345
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 20: state legislations, making sure that that we continue to create

346
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 20: a good career and not just a job in law enforcement,

347
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 20: making people want to do the job. But we've got

348
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 20: to continue to allow our federal partners first and foremost

349
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 20: to do the job take the cuts off. That's what

350
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 20: President Trump and this administration is done. We're seeing those

351
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 20: effects already in local law enforcement. Like you said, in

352
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 20: most states where we don't have crazy states and governors

353
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 20: and city councils that have made it illegal, we're there

354
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 20: standing ready to help out. And this administration for the

355
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 20: first time is letting sheriffs back at the table, Unlike

356
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 20: the last administration where they went a whole They went

357
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 20: four years without meeting with a single sheriff.

358
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: To my knowledge, that's amazing. It's mind numbing to you

359
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 3: even think about Captain. Real quickly, as you look out,

360
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 3: there's going to be moments ahead where negotiations with foreign

361
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 3: powers will be important. Mexico Canada. How important is it

362
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 3: to make sure our allies are right alongside our law

363
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 3: enforcement in this country. That's an excellent question.

364
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 17: I think at the end of the day, that's really

365
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 17: above my pay grade as a local law enforcement officer.

366
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 17: But in a nutshell, if we don't have cooperation from

367
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 17: the foreign authorities to, for example, take these individuals back

368
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 17: into their home countries, then it's going to be difficult

369
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 17: to deport the millions of them that are currently in

370
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 17: our country.

371
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: I have no doubt about it. Sure boyd real quickly.

372
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: There are still a lot of people bad on the streets.

373
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 3: We're trying to get them off. They getting off quick

374
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 3: or I think sixty eighty thousand of them in the

375
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: last couple of months. What's the most important thing that

376
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: everyday Americans if they're living out and they see you body,

377
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 3: somebody they think might not belong there. What's the best

378
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: thing they can do to help you.

379
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 21: They need to report that to law enforcement. But I'm

380
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 21: going to tell you right now that securing the border

381
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 21: is the easy part of this equation. It is securing

382
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 21: the domestic front that is a difficult part and no

383
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 21: offense to anybody. But we are not on track to

384
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 21: do that at this point in time. The number of

385
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 21: deportations do not match up to the number of people

386
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 21: that are in this country. And if we are going

387
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 21: to be successful, and we must leverage the full spectrum

388
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 21: of law enforcement, we must have local, state, federal, and

389
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 21: tribal coming together under one mission under this administration, and

390
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 21: we need to be working together to successfully secure the

391
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 21: interior the United States of America and deny the cartels

392
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 21: the logistical ability to continue to conduct their business in

393
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 21: a manner that generates some profit. The cartels are after money.

394
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 21: We need to take away their ability to make money

395
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 21: in the United States and they can go conduct their

396
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 21: business somewhere else. But we have to get on it.

397
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 21: Time is of the essence. We're running short on time.

398
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 21: We have not done what needs to be done so

399
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 21: far under this Trump administration. We have to step it up.

400
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 21: Everybody has to get to work, and it has to

401
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 21: be unified. So we must move forward with a different

402
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 21: methodology and a different mindset and get it done for

403
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 21: the benefit of the American people.

404
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 20: And let the executive branch do the executive branch's.

405
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 3: Job and not a way judges or some judges in

406
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 3: the way right now. I think that'll get settled at

407
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 3: some point. Sheriff Caper's real quickly. There has been so

408
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: much discussion in Washington. We're going to get this done.

409
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: We're going to get resources to the congressman and lawmakers

410
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 3: watching tonight. What's the message you want them to hear.

411
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: What do you need from them in Congress next week?

412
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 22: Well, we need more money, we need more personnel, we

413
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 22: need we need resources. You know, when you've got policemen

414
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 22: making twenty thousand in this department and one hundred and

415
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 22: fifty in this department, it's hard for the little departments

416
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 22: to get to get any of the good qualified personnel.

417
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 22: So maybe stipends or something that they could pass down

418
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 22: to the local agencies.

419
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 3: That sounds like a good idea of men who know

420
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 3: what they're talking about because they've been on the front line.

421
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 3: They did out without a lot and made it happen.

422
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 3: We're so blessed by all of your work, your department's work,

423
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 3: the men and women that work under you. We are

424
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 3: forever grateful. Thank you for being here today.

425
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 20: And can we just say one more thing. These are

426
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 20: the families too that are here tonight. They lost loved ones.

427
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 20: We as sheriffs and local law enforcement, we are the

428
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 20: ones that pick up the pieces of bad federal policies

429
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 20: and so and we just thank those families. Our heart

430
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 20: goes out for their sacrifice and for what they lost,

431
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 20: but we also thank them for being a voice for

432
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 20: border security.

433
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 3: We tip our hat to them and you men as well.

434
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: You've done so much great work. Thanks for being with us.

Speaker 3: thousands of unaccompanied minor children that came into this country

449
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 3: without their parents was an epic moment of accountability in Washington.

Speaker 3: blessed our show many times by coming on it and

Speaker 3: bringing real accountability, finding things the Biden administration told us

463
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: they had this under control when they let all those

464
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: accompany miners in. They lost track of them, didn't they. Well.

465
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 23: Absolutely, and this is particularly horrifying for a party, the

466
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 23: Democrat Party, that said, oh, we we're the party of

467
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 23: keeping families together. When these young people came across the border,

468
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 23: frequently they had neither parent with them, or one parent,

469
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 23: rare to have both parents with them. So you're breaking

470
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 23: up families. And of course it's an invitation to wind

471
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 23: up having children off on their own, human trafficked in

472
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 23: dangerous working conditions. And the Biden administration didn't care. But

473
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 23: I can't emphasize how much it's important that now the

474
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 23: Trump administration step in one more mess that Donald Trump

475
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 23: has to clean up after Biden left office.

476
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, elephants, sweeping job is big style. There's still a

477
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: lot of work, Victor. You're on the front lines for

478
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: a long time. Right now, there's a lot of progress.

479
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 3: But when I talk to men and women in the

480
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 3: border patrol and ice, they still need a lot of resources.

481
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: What's the most important thing Congress could do in the

482
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: next few months to get those resources flowing quicker?

483
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 24: Ooh, that's a well, this list put the list out.

484
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 24: We need funding, we need manpower, we need technology, we

485
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 24: need infrastructure, We need an array of things. And one

486
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 24: of the shares what he said is the cooperation with

487
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 24: the state and the locals. The two eighty seven G

488
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 24: program probably right now is the most important. Just like

489
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 24: what Florida is doing. We need that done in every

490
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 24: single state. Because a local know what's going on in

491
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 24: their communities. We need those that joint effort. Then you're

492
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 24: going to see the bigger numbers of apprehensions and detections

493
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 24: and deportations as well.

494
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, so important. And boy, that's sewing together of local

495
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 3: and federal law enforcement. It is a powerful too when

496
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 3: it works, when it's allowed to work, which is an

497
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: important part. Richard. You did something really fascinating, and that

498
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 3: is that you were looking and using a state grand

499
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: jury to kind of look at the larger system. And

500
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 3: there's still components of that system that are operating. There

501
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: are nonprofits that really are involved in human trafficking. They

502
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 3: make this all possible. Tell us what you found and

503
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: what things still need to be addressed.

504
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 15: Well, the grand jury that did convene down in Florida,

505
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 15: their very top line recommendation was convene another one to

506
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 15: look into these NGOs. They are making hundreds of millions

507
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 15: and into the billions of dollars off of this industry.

508
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 15: I mean, it's essentially a funneling of a pass through

509
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 15: for trafficking organizations. Some of them are very well aware

510
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 15: of that fact and just don't care, and some are

511
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 15: just simply trying to do their jobs. But you know,

512
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 15: it doesn't really matter. Why if there's if there is,

513
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 15: if there's mischief in what's going on, it needs to

514
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 15: be corrected, and they aren't interested in doing that. So

515
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 15: the grand jury thought very long and hard about going

516
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 15: after some of these individuals and said simply ran out

517
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 15: of time. They were only convened for an eighteen month period,

518
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:21,959
Speaker 15: that's the way the law is written.

519
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 9: Couldn't go beyond that.

520
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 15: And so their big request was, hey Governor, Hey Supreme Court,

521
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 15: do us another favor. Go after these people.

522
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 3: You created an extraordinary road. Now it's a big business.

523
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 3: I mean, people make careers out of this sort of

524
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: getting people into the country and caring for right.

525
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 15: The grant funding is astonishing and it's all of course

526
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 15: paid for by taxpayer money. That's just funneled through the

527
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 15: Department of Health and Human Services primarily, and Secretary Kennedy

528
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 15: just brought that up, actually, I think yesterday pointed it out.

529
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 15: Is exactly what's going on. And oh, by the way,

530
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 15: the executives and the people running these things, if you

531
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 15: pull their for nine nineties, it's amazing the salaries they're

532
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 15: getting for essentially going ahead and just handing money over

533
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 15: to their friends.

534
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: It's just insane. A right, a lot of people looking

535
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 3: and saying, hey, the courts of Donald Trump was elected

536
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: to fix this problem. The Court's seem to be dripping

537
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: them up at every step. Does Congress need to change

538
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 3: some laws so that Supreme Court knows exactly what Congress's

539
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: intent is?

540
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 8: Absolutely, I mean one of the big canards, though, John

541
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 8: of the Biden administration was that we need we need

542
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 8: more laws in order to out here the border. And

543
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 8: you know, we heard exactly we heard, you know, Secretary

544
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 8: Nome say that apprehensions are down ninety four percent. She

545
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 8: actually understated that it's ninety five percent. And we don't

546
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 8: really have good records, but it's probably the lowest number

547
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 8: of people who have ever come into American history across

548
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 8: that border. So Congress really just needs to tighten the laws,

549
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 8: give the court some direction, take away some other jurisdiction.

550
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 8: I was involved in a court stripping effort, as we

551
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 8: called it, back in two thousand and five.

552
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: But you know, funding is really the key.

553
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 8: The thing that Congress really needs to do now, as

554
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 8: Victor had said before, was we need more judges, we

555
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 8: need more detention space, we need more agents, we need

556
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 8: more agents on the line. Congress can do all that,

557
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 8: and the American people support more funding for this. But yeah,

558
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 8: when it comes to the courts, it's galling. It's a process.

559
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 8: Donald Trump knows it's a process. That's why he started early.

560
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 8: It is in his term, so that he can get

561
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 8: all the way up to the Supreme Court, get the

562
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 8: impediments out of the way, and get the American people safe.

563
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 3: Some of those classes were intentional just to get him

564
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,959
Speaker 3: to the high crest. Absolutely, Congressman, you've been saying for

565
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 3: a long time we didn't need more laws. We just

566
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 3: needed a president who would enforce him. But there are

567
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 3: things that Congress is going to do in that big

568
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 3: beautiful bill that President Trump talks about. What do you

569
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: think is top of line.

570
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 23: Well, there are a lot of things we'll try to

571
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 23: get in there. Obviously, he's done the big thing in

572
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 23: the first place. When you talk about all the young

573
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 23: people coming, you just got to close the border, and

574
00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 23: the solves the problem. But we do a lot of

575
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 23: young people here we've lost track of. We have to

576
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 23: track down those people. We have to find out where

577
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 23: their parents are. And let's not forget the Democrats supposedly

578
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 23: say we're for keeping a family together. We do not

579
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 23: want to have a situation in which little Johnny is

580
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 23: here with mom, but dad is back in Guatemala any

581
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 23: more than in this country. If a couple gets divorced,

582
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 23: you have two parents fire apart. So we really have

583
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 23: to make sure that if we take a new family here,

584
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 23: it's the entire family, and the United States of America

585
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 23: is not causing a broken family by who we let.

586
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 3: In so important, I think there was a big moment.

587
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 3: The President promised it on the campaign trail. He delivered

588
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 3: it right away. We have declared that the drug cartels

589
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 3: that bring all that poison into this country and poison

590
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 3: our children with China's help, are now considered terrorist organizations.

591
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 3: When you see that, what tools does that open up

592
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: and what things might Americas not be ready to see

593
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: that this president might do to take those cartels out.

594
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 24: Well, that was a great move by President Trump that

595
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 24: we've been a waiting for a long time. I've been

596
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 24: advocating for that designation of these cartels and I love

597
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 24: that list that came out of the nine cartels that

598
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 24: married them Threnderawa. By the way, it is a terrorist organization.

599
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 24: MS thirteen is a terrorist organization, but what it does

600
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 24: is certain things. The first thing that does is that

601
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 24: we get to go after the assets, the money, the properties,

602
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,239
Speaker 24: everything that these groups are getting illicitly. Second, it's you're

603
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 24: already seeing it is a DoD resources joining with DHS.

604
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 24: You're seeing them active duty military at our border right now.

605
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 24: I just came back from Opasso. They're there, they're present,

606
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 24: and there's gonna be some other activity with a military.

607
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 24: They're moving Mexico, believe it or not, is cooperating. They

608
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 24: might not say it in front of the camera, but

609
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 24: behind the cameras and they're allowing because they don't want

610
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 24: to see the tariffs. They don't want to be hurt

611
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 24: by other political decisions that Trump will make. But the

612
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 24: designation of the cartels is the game changer. We now

613
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 24: get to take them out and treat them just like

614
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 24: isis just like the Taliban. This is how I think

615
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 24: the American people need to start think.

616
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 3: Think.

617
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 24: You know, the cart sells because I tell them all

618
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 24: the time, it's not just a guy in cowboy boots

619
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 24: and a cowboy hat. This is a person in the

620
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 24: United States that looks like you and me. There's contents, doctors,

621
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 24: and different types of people that they have because they

622
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 24: have an incredible system of especially intelligence within the US

623
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 24: and sixty five countries around the world. These are sophisticated

624
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 24: corporations and we must recognize them that way in order

625
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 24: to take them down.

626
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 3: They run like multinational corporations. Gentlemen, each of you played

627
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: such an important role. Congressman, we can't thank you enough

628
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: for all the times you came on and educated the

629
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 3: summer last year. But each of you have made such

630
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 3: an extraordinary contribution. What Florida's done. I think the whole

631
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 3: country oways Florida and Texas at debt of gratitude for

632
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 3: the last four years of contribution. But great to have

633
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 3: this conversation. We're bumping up on a commercial break. We'll

634
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 3: be right back, folks when we come back. I got

635
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 3: a special guest here, Yeah, you know it is. It's

636
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: Tom Homan. The Borders Are. We got a special message

637
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 3: in a special plot to building right after these messages

638
00:33:54,080 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 3: here from Washington, d C.

639
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,120

00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,440

643
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 3: of The American Border Story, which is sponsoring tonight's awards,

644
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 3: and came up with this great idea. When we started

645
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 3: talking about this, there was one name that unanimously came

646
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 3: up time and time again, no matter who we talked to.

647
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 3: He I have been able to watch his career as

648
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 3: a young reporter, growing up all through in law enforcement,

649
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 3: whether he was running ICE or now inside the White

650
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 3: House running the entire Trump strategy for cleaning up Biden's

651
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 3: border mess. He's our borders are. He's an American hero.

652
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 3: He's a good friend, and he gets stuff done. He

653
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,520

656
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,600

Speaker 3: You educated us all and you told all the people

660
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 3: who were lying they were lying right to their faces.

661
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 3: We're lucky to have you in this country. I know

662
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 3: your work is still long, but we want to at

663
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 3: least recognize that Nicole as a little black to just

664
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:22,879

Speaker 18: Sir, congratulations, thank you very much.

666
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: I appreciate that your something else. You're working twenty four

667
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 3: to seven, about twenty three, twenty four hours, you get

668
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 3: a red bull probably for an hour sleep in between.

669
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,959
Speaker 3: Where are we in the fight?

670
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, I appreciate it's a great honor,

671
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 6: but it's really about the men and women were in

672
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 6: the uniform. It's about the men and women bring us

673
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 6: board patrols, stand on that line every night. It's about

674
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 6: the men and women ice who strapag under hip every day.

675
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 6: So I'll take this and recognition of them, but they're

676
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 6: the heroes, together with the greatest president of my lifetime,

677
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 6: Donald Trump, who let us do what we do so look,

678
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 6: I'm busy. I mean since inauguration, I think I've had

679
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 6: three days off. I was with the President just before

680
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 6: I came here. He's not gonna give me a day

681
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 6: off anytime soon. But we're great. We got the most

682
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 6: secure border in history of the nation today and the

683
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 6: data proves it, there's no question.

684
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 3: Right.

685
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 6: So I knew when we came back, we knew the secret, right,

686
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 6: we had the recipe. We had great success in Trump

687
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 6: forty five, but we beat the hell out of that.

688
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,479
Speaker 6: I mean, the numbers right now, I say the best

689
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 6: in the history of the nation on the border. Inter

690
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 6: re enforcement were about three times the criminal amiens arrested

691
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 6: in three months that Joe Biden did in the year.

692
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 6: So we're kicking a lot of butt there. And the children,

693
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 6: there's three hundred thousand missing children. Were working hard at

694
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 6: that already, about five thousand found really rescued, and some

695
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 6: of these were relative but some weren't. Somewhere in forced labors.

696
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 6: So that's the three legs. When President Trump called me,

697
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 6: says security border, run a deportation operation and find these kids.

698
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 6: So one's done, pretty much done. Two we're making good strikes.

699
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 6: Three is the most difficult because children are hard to find.

700
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 6: I mean they don't have a footprint. You have a car,

701
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 6: I have a car. We all have a digital footprint,

702
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 6: whether it's you own a car, you're own a home,

703
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 6: you have credit cards, We can find us, but children

704
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 6: you can't find. They don't have a digital footprint. So

705
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 6: we got to count on digital footprint the sponsors. But

706
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 6: last administration they didn't vet the sponsors properly. They didn't

707
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 6: fingerprint a lot of sponsors. So this is a hard

708
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 6: job the children, but we're not going to rest. So

709
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 6: every single one of them has found and rest.

710
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 3: And I know those children really matter to President Trump.

711
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 3: He said it to me personally. Have you found many

712
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 3: in danger? I mean some are in dangerous situations when

713
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 3: you found them?

714
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 7: Right?

715
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, And not only not only we committed to

716
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 6: finding them, we're committed to helping them because you know,

717
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 6: it's gonna be physical abuse, it's gonna be mental abuse.

718
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 6: So we got to help them getting back to their families.

719
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 6: But President Trump's committed to this. I mean the left

720
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 6: ones to keep attacking us for what they call Trump's

721
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 6: family separation. Well, you know, families were separated because parents

722
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 6: were prosecuted the same thing happened to us physician families

723
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 6: every day. But they won't talk about the half a

724
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 6: million kids that were smuggling this country putting hands of

725
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 6: criminal cartels. I mean, I leave my kid in the

726
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 6: car and go get groceries. I'll get arrested, But you

727
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 6: can put your kid in the hands of criminal cartels

728
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 6: to who knows what the hell happened to them during

729
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 6: that journey. So we're gonna holp people accountable and we're

730
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 6: gonna find these kids. President Trump's committed to it. We're

731
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 6: gonna make sure that happens.

732
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know both of you are. I've seen you

733
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 3: work day in and day out. The bigger job is

734
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 3: getting eleven twenty million somewhere between that out of this country.

735
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 3: Everybody know that's going to take some time. What do

736
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: you still need? What do you need from Congress? People?

737
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 6: Congress needs to get also asked give us some money

738
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 6: we need, right And I'm not just talking about Democrats either.

739
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 6: I mean President Trump was selected by American people over

740
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 6: one way, and there's number one issues securing the border

741
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 6: and running this deportation operation.

742
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 3: We're doing great with the money we have.

743
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 6: We can do a hell a lot more.

744
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: If we need money by beds.

745
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 6: We need money for transportation, We need money for more officers.

746
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 6: We need money for more contract personnel to come in

747
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 6: and do jobs that doesn't require badging gun. We got

748
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 6: badges and guns doing administrative jobs they shouldn't be doing.

749
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 6: We need them on the street. So we need Congress

750
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 6: to step up and give us some money. We need

751
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 6: to get this done. The more money we have, the

752
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 6: more successful we're going to be. And look, we got

753
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 6: over seven hundred thousand illegal animals or criminal convictions walking

754
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 6: the streets of America that we need money, more boots

755
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 6: on the ground to rest these people.

756
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, twelve hundred terrorists. That number came out the other day.

757
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 3: Of twelve hundreds that we know are in the gun,

758
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 3: and I gott knows how many aren't on the ground.

759
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 3: The folks in the local law enforcement who partner with

760
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 3: all of your great men and women in ice and

761
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 3: border patrol, how important are they to your missions? Absolutely?

762
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 6: The sheriffs. Sheriffs are the finance of the finance man.

763
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 6: I got relationships with great sheriffs, not twenty chiefs the police,

764
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 6: but the sheriffs. The sheriffs are stone cold partners. It's

765
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 6: the state of Florida. Look, I've given the government census

766
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 6: shout out. I mean, we just did in an operation

767
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 6: in Florida, got over one thousand arrests and he had

768
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 6: his two eighty seven G people out there. He had

769
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 6: the National Guard to eighty seven G people out of there.

770
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 6: Texas is a great partner. We had a lot of

771
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 6: great partners. But the sheriffs, I mean they're America sheriffs

772
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 6: and most of them, I would say ninety percent of them,

773
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 6: they're in the fight with us. And I saw a

774
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 6: couple outside there there, you know, been in the fight

775
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 6: from day one. So we got to count on sheriff's partnership,

776
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 6: and we got to count on the sheriff's helpings with beds. Right,

777
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 6: a lot of these guys run jails. Their beds are

778
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 6: relatively cheap compared to you know, other beds. Most expensive

779
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 6: beds we have is when we owned right preverate government

780
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 6: doesn't doesn't do anything cheap. And I made a commitment

781
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 6: to the sheriffs that you know, it used to be

782
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 6: we had a certain under under previous administration, you got

783
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 6: a certain level detention standards that are very expensive. You

784
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 6: know we're doing things for illego anmas, we don't do

785
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 6: a few US citizens. So a lot of sheriffs did not,

786
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 6: you know, want to get in a contract with US

787
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 6: for beds because they couldn't afford the standards we had.

788
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 6: So the sheriff's always told me, why would I give

789
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 6: these standards to illegal alien if I don't give them

790
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 6: standards to US citizen. So I made a comitment to

791
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 6: the sheriffs, you know, first weekend administration, that we'll do

792
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 6: contracts with shares and their detention standards are good enough

793
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 6: for us, and they're good enough for US citizen in

794
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 6: that jail. They're good enough for So that's go open

795
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 6: the door to more beds that we need at a

796
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 6: reasonable cost. So, you know, sheriffs are great partners.

797
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 3: Sure, they've got a great compass center at the top

798
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,080

Speaker 25: We've got to let people know what's really going on.

927
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 25: We got to defend these agents. You know, there's some

928
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 25: issues that are going on back and forth right now

929
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 25: with some of their retirement. We've got to make sure

930
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 25: that that's taken care of, because you know, they've been

931
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 25: on the front line, put their next out on the line.

932
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 25: We need to make sure they continue to be taken

933
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 25: care of moving forward. It was good seeing Tom Holman,

934
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 25: and he's got the Secret Service with him.

935
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:31,120

00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 25: to see protection. Yeah, if you hang out with Flab,

938
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 25: you're good to go.

939
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,799

Speaker 18: why these incredible people are the most deserving to receive

1054
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 18: these awards is because they're not looking for awards. They're

1055
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 18: not looking for the spotlight, they're not looking for attention.

1056
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 18: They're just doing what's right. They're looking for justice, and

1057
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 18: the families are looking to tell their stories in the

1058
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 18: midst of this incredible, gut wrenching turmoil, because they want

1059

1064
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 18: darkest moments in their lives, into purpose and fighting for

1065
