But 65 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 3: it's it's game changing. President Trump's been a game changer, 66 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 3: and the men and win vice and men women border 67 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: stood up taking on the task and cousin Trump did 68 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: in seven weeks, but Joe Biden couldn't or wouldn't do 69 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: in four years. 70 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: My favorite line from from President Trump's most recent State 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: of the Union address it is when he said, you know, 72 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: Joe Biden stood here a year ago and said that 73 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: he couldn't secure the border without new legislation passing Congress. 74 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: And then Trump said, it turns out we didn't need 75 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: new legislation. We just needed a new president. And that's 76 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: powerfully true. So let me ask just just a simple 77 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: question for those Look, you're you're an immigration expert, but 78 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: for someone at home, how did the numbers drop so precipitously? 79 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: What specifically are y'all doing differently than what Joe Biden, 80 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris did. 81 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: The biggest thing we've done is President's executive orders that 82 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 3: we're a game changer, remain in Mexico a game changer. 83 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 3: I have the third SAIF Country agreements a game changer, 84 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: and finally ending catcher release. People know, you come to 85 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 3: a border, now you're not being released, and we just 86 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: follow the law because, as you know, under federal statue, 87 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 3: an ailien arrives at our border without proper documentation to 88 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: enter the language is you shall be detained now, maybe 89 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 3: not thinking about it, not problem shall and that's exactly 90 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: why we're doing.

We're doing good, but more 176 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 3: money we have, the more we. 177 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 2: Can do well. And Ben, I'll say this that Congress, 178 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: we will get this Reconciliation bill passed. It's gonna take time, 179 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 2: it's gonna be bumpy, but we'll get it done. And 180 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: when we get it done, we're gonna have funding to 181 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: build the wall. We're gonna have funding for technology on 182 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 2: the wall. We're gonna have funding for more border patrol agents. 183 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 2: We're gonna have funding for more ice agents. We're gonna 184 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: have funding for more detention beds. We're gonna have funding 185 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: for more fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. We're gonna 186 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: have funding for more drones and more infrared and technology. 187 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 2: We are stepping in now. It's gonna take a little 188 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 2: bit of time to get the bill across the finish line, 189 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 2: but I'm confident we'll do it. And I will say 190 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: it really underscores something we've said on Verdict many times, 191 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: which is the most important factor in securing the border. 192 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 2: And this is what Tom said just a minute ago. 193 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,599 Speaker 2: It is a policy decision, and it is a decision 194 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: what happens when you apprehend an illegal immigrant. And if 195 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: the answer is you put them on a plane and 196 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: you fly them back home. They all have cell phones. 197 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: They pick up their phones and they call home and 198 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: they say, don't come. They're not letting you stay. And 199 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: the flip side is true if when you you apprehend them, 200 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 2: you let them go. You say what city do you 201 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: want to go to? And you put them on a plane, 202 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 2: you put them on a bus, and you let them 203 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 2: go in every city in America, which is what Joe 204 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: Biden was doing. Again, they all have phones. They pick 205 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: up the phone, they call their friends and family, and 206 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 2: the numbers skyrocket. And so when President Trump left office 207 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 2: the first time, he had produced the lowest rate of 208 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: illegal immigration in forty five years. That's what Joe Biden inherited. 209 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: It immediately skyrocketed to the worst rate of illegal immigration 210 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 2: in history. Joe Biden allowed twelve million of the illegal 211 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 2: immigrants to come into this country. And regular listeners of 212 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: Verdict will recall I predicted. I said, we will see 213 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 2: the numbers plummet, and it won't take a year, it 214 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 2: won't even take six months. It will happen immediately because 215 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: on day one, catch and release is going to end 216 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: and we're going to see the numbers plummet. Now, all 217 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: that being said, Tom, let me ask you honestly, I 218 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 2: will admit I predicted loudly that the numbers would plummet. 219 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: I'll confess I didn't think they'd drop over ninety nine percent. 220 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 2: Are you I'm surprised at just how massive the success is. 221 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 2: Are Are you a little bit surprised. 222 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 3: Or no, I'm not surprised for all the success. I'm 223 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: surprised how fast that happened. When President Trump, when he 224 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 3: called me, asked me to be the borders. Our course, 225 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 3: I didn't has day came back and the first meeting 226 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 3: who he had, he asked me, how long would it 227 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 3: take you down the secure the border? I says, sir, 228 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: I need I need at least one hundred and twenty days. 229 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 3: He says, well, they kid a ninety I said, sir, 230 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 3: I'll to respect one hundred and twenty days, even pushing 231 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 3: that we did this in seven weeks. Seven weeks numbers 232 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 3: already down. 233 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: Yep. 234 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 3: And You're exactly right. Everything you said was right. But 235 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 3: I want to add one thing. When Joe Biden opened 236 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: that border up. He's the first president in the history 237 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 3: of this nation who came into office and unsecured a 238 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 3: border on purpose. This wasn't mismanagement, this wasn't incompetence. He 239 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: ran on open borders, and that's exactly what he did. 240 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 3: You know, so when you tell the whole world enter 241 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 3: this country legally, don't worry about it. We're going to 242 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 3: release you anyways. And when you've got a secretary of 243 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 3: ma orkist on ice, you can't arrest somebody for being 244 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 3: here illegally unless they got a serious criminal conviction. The 245 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: whole world's going to come. You can cross the border illegally. 246 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 3: You get released in twenty four hours. We won't give 247 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 3: you a free plane ticket to the city of your choice. 248 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: We're going to put you in a free hotel room. 249 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 3: We're going to give you three meals a day, We're 250 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 3: going to give you free medical attention, and guess what, 251 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 3: hang out for one hundred and twenty days. We're going 252 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 3: to give you a work offficization. The very reason they 253 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 3: came here not because of asylum, because they wanted a job. 254 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: So Biden did what he did on purpose and President 255 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 3: Trump came back in seven weeks. Again seven weeks did 256 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 3: what Joe Biden couldn't do or wouldn't do. 257 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: Repeat the numbers you said about how many illegals are 258 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 2: in the US right now who have criminal convictions. And 259 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: to be clear, these are convictions for crimes other than 260 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 2: crossing illegally into the country. Every illegal has committed that crime. 261 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 2: But how many have convictions for murder, for rape, for 262 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 2: other crimes other than crossing the border illegally. 263 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 3: Just under seven hundred thousand. 264 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: I mean, that is a stunning number. And what you're saying, 265 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 2: and I agree with you, is that Joe Biden deliberately 266 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: chose we're going to leave murderers here, We're going to 267 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: leave rapists in America, We're going to leave child molesters 268 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: in America. We're not going to send ice to arrest them, 269 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 2: We're not going to pick them up, we're not going 270 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 2: to deport them. That they put partisan politics above protecting 271 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: American families, about protecting our kids. 272 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: And that's why I woke up four years pissed off 273 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 3: every morning. President Trump when he called me, asked me 274 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 3: to come back, and he said to me, we've been 275 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: even bitching about it for four years, want to come 276 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 3: back and fix it? And I did because I knew 277 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 3: every morning I wake up, And Senator you know this 278 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 3: just as well as I do. I knew every morning 279 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 3: I woke up. How many children died acrossing the borders 280 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 3: till last night. Yeah, how many women got sexually assaulted, 281 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 3: how many people on Terrace Rosster's got across the border. 282 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 3: How many women and children were sex trafficking this country? 283 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: How many billions of dollars in the car tells make 284 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 3: how many Americans died in the last twenty four hour 285 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 3: from Fetanah coming across the open border? For four years? 286 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 3: I was pissed off. President Trump came back, like I said, 287 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 3: in seven weeks, we had a border down ninety percent 288 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 3: in seven weeks. So you know, if you said it 289 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 3: was a matter of president, the matter of enforce the law, 290 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 3: you know, I'll tell you it's in a cruise. And 291 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 3: you know, every time I see in the meeting, every 292 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: time I see you in the meeting, I call you out. 293 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 3: I call you out because you've been a tip of 294 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 3: the speer on this thing.

I appreciate that, 311 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: and I appreciate your passion and commitment. You're showing up 312 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: and you said something that I think is really important 313 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: for our listeners to understand. You and President Trump right 314 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: now are quite literally saving lives. You are saving lives. 315 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: There are Americans, and there are significant number of Americans 316 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: who are alive today because a violent criminal did not 317 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: cross the border, was not released, and didn't murder them. 318 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: There are women who have not been raped because you've 319 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: stopped the Biden practice of releasing rapists. There are children, 320 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: and the number of children who haven't been physically and 321 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: sexually assaulted by human traffickers. It is already I think, 322 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 2: well into the thousands. And I want you to think 323 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: about that. Thousands of little girls, thousands of little boys 324 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 2: have not been violently, repeatedly raped by human traffickers. Why. 325 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: Because President Trump came in and because you've been the 326 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 2: borders are implementing it and secured the border, and those 327 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: kids are no longer being trafficked. That is a profound 328 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 2: legacy in just four or five months. 329 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: And then we go one step further. Trump asked me 330 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: to do three things. Security border, run the large largest 331 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 3: deportation offeras I have ever seen, and find these children, 332 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 3: and buy an administration. Over half a million children were 333 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 3: smuggling in this country, separated from their family, smoggling this 334 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: country and put in the hands of sponsors, many unvettered sponsors. 335 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 3: The last administration lost track of three hundred thousand of them. 336 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: Doesn't Trump's committed to finding as many as you can 337 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: We've already found over seventy five hundred of them. Wow, 338 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: someone were for free, safe with families. Some were perfectly 339 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 3: safe and some weren't. Example just there for yes, say 340 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 3: a fourteen year old little girl already to sex traffic 341 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 3: was pregnant living with two men who trafficking. There whether 342 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 3: they're going to prison, and we're helping that little girl. 343 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 3: So we're going to rescue everyone of these little girls 344 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 3: and make sure that they're safe. And so many of 345 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 3: them are going to be okay with family members, they 346 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 3: just didn't respond to followings or so forth. But many, 347 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 3: I guarantee, I've been doing this for over forty years. 348 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 3: Many of them are in sex trafficking. Many of them 349 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 3: are in forced labor, living a life of hell every day. 350 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 3: We're committed to find every one of these little children 351 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 3: and making sure they're safe. 352 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: Tom, you mentioned finding them all. Let's talk about sanctuary 353 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: cities for a second. It's very clear Democrats are not 354 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: backing off of that. How dangerous is the policy and 355 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: who is being harbored in these cities that are refusing 356 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: to work with you guys? Will there be accountability? Are 357 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: they harboring MS thirteen gang members? And domestic terrorists, foreign terrorists, uh, 358 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: those that are putting the Fetnoel out in society. How 359 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: dangerous are these cities? 360 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 3: They're the dangerous for everybody because in a sanctuary city meets, 361 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 3: I don't have access to the jail or rust a 362 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 3: bad guy public safety threat in the safety and security 363 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 3: of the jail. Were they alien safe, the officers safe, 364 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 3: on the public safe. When sanctuary cities knowingly leased a 365 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 3: public safety a threat back in the street, it certainly 366 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 3: puts the community at risk. It even puts an alien 367 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 3: at risk because anything can happen during the street arrest 368 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: and great, it puts your officers that great arrest because 369 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 3: now we've got to arrest a criminal alien public safety 370 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 3: threat on his turf. We has access to who knows 371 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 3: what weapons. It's very dangerous and natural host sanctuary cities accountable. 372 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 3: Its PAM binding has already fought lawsuits against several were 373 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 3: we're working with DJ now again. We want we want 374 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 3: where's that right? Where's that where's that line? When do 375 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 3: you cross that line? You can sit there and watch 376 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 3: ice do your job. Because here's what irritates me the most. 377 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 3: I don't care what party you're in. If you're an 378 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 3: elected mayor, elect a city council person, or elected governor. 379 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 3: Your number one responsibility it's the safety and security of 380 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 3: your neighborhoods, your communities. ICE has been clear from the 381 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 3: beginning with President Trump, we're going to prioritize public safety 382 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 3: threats and national security threats. Why will you not help 383 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 3: us make your community safer? There's no downside on that. 384 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 3: And the sanctuary cities want to argue what we're a 385 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 3: sanctuary city because we want victims and witnesses of crime, 386 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 3: if they're illegally the United States, to feel comfortable coming 387 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 3: to the law enforcement without fear of working with ICE. 388 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 3: That is a bunch of crap. Victims and witnesses of 389 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: crime don't want the bad guy in the neighborhood either. 390 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 3: And as far as the illegal alien community, I'll say this, 391 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 3: despite being here illegally, many of them are god fearing 392 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 3: family people. They don't want a preser in they neighborhood either. 393 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 3: They don't want someone convicted DUI ten times driving to 394 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 3: their neighborhood either. So you know, if you go to 395 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 3: the immigrant community and ask them one simple question, would 396 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 3: you rather have ICE operating in the jail or in 397 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 3: your community. What do you think they're going to say, 398 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 3: They're going to be say to jail, so sanctuarous cities 399 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 3: will be held accountable. Matter of fact, we're reissuing the 400 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 3: ICE detainer. We just changed the new ICE detainer. We're 401 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 3: letting them black and white. Let them know this person 402 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 3: is a designated terrorist, this person is a designated returned felon. 403 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 3: We're gonna let them know exactly who do detaining based 404 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,239 Speaker 3: on biographic and biometric information and see what they do. 405 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 3: Are they going to violate Relation and Riley Act, Then 406 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 3: we'll go out to prosecution. Now they're going to know 407 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 3: at least a terrorist, then we're going to go out 408 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 3: to prosecution. So it's about to get a lot tougher 409 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 3: and it's the right thing to do. 410 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 2: Well, And let me ask you, how worried are you 411 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 2: that they're a terrorists who came across the southern border 412 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 2: in the last four years, that are out there and 413 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 2: that are planning acts of terror in the United States? 414 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 3: Right now, I'm convinced we got over two million known guideways. 415 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 3: Why did two million people pay more to get away? 416 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 3: They pay the car tells a lot more money to 417 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 3: escape apprehension and get to New York's Icnago wherever. Why 418 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 3: don't they pay less? Why would you pay more to 419 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 3: get away because you don't want to be vetted, you 420 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 3: don't want a two finger printed. It's just scared to 421 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 3: hell off. Every American scares of hell on me. Somebody's 422 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 3: are going to be, you know, child traffickers. Some of 423 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 3: these are Karen Fatinal and some of these are going 424 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 3: to be people from the terrorort sponsored country. Under Joe Biden, 425 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 3: we wrest over four hundred people on terras wass's come 426 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 3: in the Southwest border. If you don't think a single 427 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 3: one of the two main guidaways didn't come from a 428 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 3: country sponsor and terror didn't come here to do us harm, 429 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 3: then you just crazy as you know it was what 430 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 3: was it? Just a few months ago we arrested eight 431 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 3: that we're planting a terrorist attack, a Russian type terrorist 432 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 3: atack in the United States. Lucky intelliens. The community call 433 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 3: him on some chad and we are able to arrest them. 434 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 3: But we're not perfect. Intelligence community isn't perfect. They weren't 435 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 3: perfect on Afghanistan. They weren't perfect on a lot of things. 436 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 3: So God help us. I think they're here. There's intelligent 437 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 3: port stander here. We know where some aren't being monitored, 438 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: but we don't know where others are. So that scares 439 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 3: the hell on me. 440 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: Well, And as you know, Chris Ray, the former director 441 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 2: of the FBI, every few months would come to Congress 442 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 2: and he would do everything but set off an alarm 443 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 2: and bang a drum to say we are at major 444 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: risk of a terrorist attack from the open Bordersmas and 445 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 2: Hezblah have declared jahads on America. As you know, the 446 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: border patrol under Joe Biden was advised beyond on the 447 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 2: lookout for Hamas has Blun Palestinian Islamic Jehad terrorists coming 448 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: across the southern border. And one of the things, Tommy 449 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 2: you said that was really important. Of the twelve million 450 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants that came under Joe Biden, roughly two million 451 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 2: of those were god aways. That's by far the most 452 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 2: troubling of all those folks. The other ten million are 453 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: people who are apprehended, and apprehended in many instances is 454 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 2: the wrong term, because as you know, and I've spent 455 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 2: a lot of time down on the southern border, I 456 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 2: almost always go out on midnight patrol with the border 457 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 2: patrol agents when I'm there apprehended doesn't even characterize what 458 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: they were doing. Most nights, people would cross the border 459 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 2: and they'd go look for a border patrol agent and 460 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 2: actively turn themselves in because the result would be that 461 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 2: Joe Biden would say where do you want to go 462 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: and would fly them to wherever they wanted to be. Literally, 463 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 2: the Biden administration was the last mile of the human 464 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 2: trafficking network. But Tom, what you said is exactly right. 465 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 2: Those two million godaways are much more likely to be 466 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 2: violent criminals, much more likely to be murderers or rapist 467 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 2: or child molesters, much more likely to be MS thirteen 468 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 2: gang members, much more likely to be terrorists. And that's 469 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 2: the population that is most worrisome. And speaking of MS 470 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 2: thirteen gang members, just when I thought politics could not 471 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: get weirder, the Democrats have decided to go all in, 472 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 2: making their central party platform be that we should admit 473 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 2: more illegal aliens, and in particular, we want more Venezuelan 474 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 2: gang members MS thirteen gang members here. And they decided 475 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 2: that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is their poster child for the 476 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 2: Democrat party. Tom, how confident to tell us about Abrego Garcia. 477 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 2: How confident are you that he's a gang member, that 478 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: he's a criminal. 479 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 3: I'm very confident, and I've talked to the head of 480 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 3: Vice numerous times. People are understanding. So he got no 481 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 3: due process, Yes he did. He got due process from 482 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 3: two different federal judges who said he's in the United States, 483 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 3: a citizen OWL Salvador, and he gave up order of deportation. 484 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: He had a great two process, a great tax bayer expense. 485 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 3: On top of that, men went rice and they sent 486 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 3: those two plane loads of TDA and MS thirteen. Hundreds 487 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 3: and hundreds of hours were spent on every case. They 488 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 3: went to the criminal history, the immigration history, they went 489 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 3: to intelligence report, they went to confidential informant statements, they 490 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 3: went to wire taps, they went to a bunch of 491 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 3: stuff to to certify these people were members of TVA 492 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 3: and MS thirteen. So they got due process several times 493 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 3: Obrego Garcia's home, he's a citizen OWL Salvador. And for 494 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 3: those the Democrats said, well, they made a mistake. I 495 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 3: still say it was a mistake. It was an over 496 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 3: temporary oversecond. Here's the problem he had it withholding order. 497 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 3: He had not returned to Al Salvador because he feared 498 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 3: death from the gang. Two things have changed since that 499 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 3: order was given. Number one, he's a designated terror, so 500 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 3: that with holding order has been set aside. Number two, 501 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 3: the gang he feared it no longer exists now Salvador, 502 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 3: because a great work BUCKHETI did there. So the circumstances 503 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 3: surround that with building order are no longer valid. And 504 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 3: here's what would happened. If somebody was to make this 505 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: guy return to the United States, he would be detained 506 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 3: and removed the next day. If not, tell Salador to 507 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 3: another country. He's not here, but as President Boukeley said, 508 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 3: he is a pre certified national of Al Salvador. He 509 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 3: is home. He is home. He is a certified administer 510 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: team member, not just by ice, by local police departments, 511 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 3: intelligence reports, immigration judges in the Counch of Al Salvador. 512 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 3: Says his emistery team member, He's home is exactly where 513 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 3: he should be. This country, his wife, his neighborhood is 514 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 3: a lot safer because he's locked up. 515 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: I want to go back to accountability for a second time, 516 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: and I want to ask you there are a lot 517 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 1: of people that believe that there were laws that were 518 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: broken deliberately in the last administration. They knew they were 519 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: breaking the law. One of those would be former Homeland 520 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: Security Secretary my orci is that you mentioned a moment ago. 521 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: Should he be criminally the prosecuted for his role in 522 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: the border crisis if it was as deliberate as it 523 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: now seems. 524 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 3: Look, I think what he did was borderline trees in US. 525 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 3: I'm not an attorney, I'm not a prosecutor. But what 526 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 3: he did, he did more damage to this country. Him 527 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 3: and the Biden administration. What they did to this country, 528 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 3: I can tell you when they opened that border up, 529 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 3: sex trafficking women show to increase tenfold. A record number 530 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 3: of migrants died making that journey, over four thousand. A 531 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 3: record number of Americans died from fatanah that come across 532 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 3: that open border. And it's just what he calls this 533 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 3: country and from a national securities perspective, because here's what 534 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: his orders were, process quick, release quick. They didn't care 535 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 3: about the crisis. They cared about the optics of the crisis. 536 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 3: If there's no overcrowding, there's nothing to see here. So 537 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 3: border trades were processed as quick as they could and 538 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 3: releasing a quick as they could, and there's been several 539 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 3: instances would they release so quickly they have? The ice 540 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 3: can didn't come back and and it came back hot. 541 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 3: Actually they already remember reased. They came back hot as 542 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 3: a non inspected terrorist. So yeah, he what he did 543 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 3: was unconsortable. What he did is in my opinion, borderline 544 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 3: trees and is he should be held accountable because a 545 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 3: lot of deaths occurred under his watch. And look at like, 546 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 3: like Sandra Cruz said a few minutes ago, right now, 547 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 3: ninety six percent decline and illegal immigration when ninety six 548 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 3: percent less people are coming, How many women aren't being raped, 549 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 3: How many children aren't dying crossing that border, How many 550 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 3: no inspected terrorists aren't getting in the country. How many 551 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,959 Speaker 3: pounds of fatanyl is not getting the country? What are 552 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 3: you going to see on the President Trump's administration? Vaentanyl 553 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 3: deaths to decrease, sex trafficking with decrease, smuggling with decrease, 554 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 3: and no inspected terists. They got no open night anymore. 555 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 3: Now that we've got the border secure, every single borders 556 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 3: religion is on the lying on patrol during his national 557 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 3: security duty under Joe Biden. It was an average most days, 558 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 3: an average seventy percent seven zero seventy percent of agents 559 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 3: were no longer on patrol. They were changing diapers, making 560 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 3: baby formula, making hospital runs. The last time. Aren't down there. 561 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 3: Before the election, I talked to hundreds of boarder players 562 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 3: and told me to hang on, hang on, changes coming. 563 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 3: I really think pleasant Trump's going to win. But they 564 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 3: told me no, we're sick of being tour station. We're 565 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 3: sick of being uber drivers. We process and delivered these 566 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 3: people to the very same people who pay for their smuggling. 567 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 3: They couldn't recruit. They couldn't people were quitting. They were 568 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 3: quitting before the even else well for retirement. They couldn't 569 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 3: read recruiting numbers. You know, last month, Ice, I'm excuse me, 570 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 3: Bord Patrol had the highest recruiting numbers and the history 571 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 3: of that agency just last month. 572 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: That's fantastic. And look, I will say, Tom's not exaggerating 573 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 2: at all. Like when I would visit with Border Patrol 574 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 2: agents the frustration. Look, the men and women who sign 575 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 2: up for the Border Patrol, they do do so because 576 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 2: they're patriots. They do so because they love America. They 577 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 2: do so because they want to keep our communities and 578 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 2: our families and our kids safe, and they want to 579 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: be out on patrol. Look these that's what you sign 580 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: up in the job. And they were sitting there just 581 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: shuffling paperwork. They were processing and just running a revolving 582 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: door to try to release as many illegal immigrants as 583 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 2: fast as possible. That's what may ORC has looked viewed 584 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: as job is accelerate illegal immigration, not stop it, but 585 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 2: make it go more quickly. Let me ask you, Tom, 586 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: you mentioned fentanyl. What do we know about the numbers 587 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 2: of fentanyl traffic over the first four months of the 588 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 2: Trump administration. 589 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 3: There's been a decrease, and I've got from three or 590 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 3: four different sources. The percentage of decrease is different from 591 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 3: every source. The problem is the CDC doesn't have good 592 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 3: metrics on fatanyl. But look across the country. You can 593 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 3: see the decrease in fatanyl. Fatanyl's being c's on the 594 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 3: southern border and the metrics and that's maybe something you 595 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 3: all to work on up there in the Senate. CDC 596 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 3: needs a track is more more accurately. Like I said, 597 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 3: you got you got a number of deaths reported by states, 598 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 3: you got number of death reported by CDC, none of 599 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 3: them match. So, but we do know there's been a reduction. 600 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 3: You don't see you know, three hundred of people dying 601 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 3: every day from fatola like we did see right, We 602 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 3: know we don't have two, you know, nine to elevens 603 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 3: a week happening from kids dying from Fatanah. So I 604 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 3: don't have exact numbers, but we already see the effects 605 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 3: of a secure boarder. 606 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 2: And Tom, let me ask you also, So, one of 607 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 2: the things we've talked about on this podcast. In twenty eighteen, 608 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 2: the Mexican drug cartels made roughly five hundred million dollars 609 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 2: from human trafficking. Last year, the drug cartels made over 610 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 2: thirteen billion dollars from human trafficking. That's a twenty six 611 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 2: hundred percent increase. Do we have any data yet? Do 612 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 2: you have any visibility on what has happened to the 613 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,479 Speaker 2: drug cartel's revenue? Because one of the worst consequences of 614 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 2: what Biden's open border did is is it turned these vicious, murderous, 615 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 2: transnational criminal organizations into incredibly wealthy powerhouses, and it put 616 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 2: huge resources in their pockets. Did do you have any 617 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 2: date on what's happened to their revenues. 618 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 3: Well, one of the first best thing President Trump did 619 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 3: is designative terrorist organization because these cartells have killed more Americans. Yes, 620 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 3: every urance organization were combined. We knew that. That's why 621 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 3: there's so much buy on some Mexico. The last four 622 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 3: years cartels were fighting each other for control of the plausas. 623 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 3: Why because they're making record amounts of money, smuggling people, 624 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 3: record amount of money and trafficking women, children, and the 625 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 3: record amount of money moving dope across that border. Now, 626 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 3: with the board secure, we're hitting them where it hurts. 627 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 3: Are smugglings down, both drugs and people. Trafficking is down, 628 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 3: So we're hitting where it hurts. That's why the latest 629 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 3: intelligence force I see they're trying to produce and push 630 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 3: more fatanol into Asian European nations because their market here 631 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 3: in the United States has been so brutally attacked. I 632 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 3: wish what would happen is that Mexico would agree with 633 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 3: President Trump to let us help them take the cartels 634 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 3: and wipe them off the face ears because right now 635 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 3: they're like the police for cartel. They're in forty four 636 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 3: countries around the globe. They're like a fortune five hundred company. 637 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 3: It's going to take the United States to take them on. 638 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 3: Mexico's failed for decades to do it, and a lot 639 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 3: of mech show you know that military, police and government 640 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 3: rises are corrupt. I'll say this, a lot of the 641 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 3: corruption is force corruption. Because you're a police officer Mexo. 642 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 3: You're making you know, four hundred dollars a month, but 643 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 3: the Mexican cartel comes up and obviously ten thousand look 644 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 3: the other way, and you're going to take it? Are 645 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 3: they going to kill you and your family? I think 646 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 3: Mexico will be a much safer and much prosper more 647 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 3: prosperous country if they let President Trump help them wipe 648 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 3: the cartels off the face of the ear. 649 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 2: Look, that is absolutely right. And let me underscore that point. 650 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: A lot of people don't realize, particularly those on the left, 651 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 2: that what Joe Biden the Democrats did, it wasn't just 652 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 2: horribly cruel to the American people, it was horribly cruel 653 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 2: to Mexican nationals in Mexico. Turning these vicious criminals into 654 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 2: the most powerful economic force in Mexico has increased the 655 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 2: murder rate, the crime rate, the kidnapping, rape rate. I 656 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 2: visited with with a Mexican mayor of a town on 657 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 2: the other side of the border. And I'm not going 658 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 2: to say which mayor because he told me in confidence 659 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 2: because he was afraid, but he said in his town 660 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 2: they had had over three thousand disappearances, just people Mexican 661 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 2: nationals living in Mexico who just ran a foul of 662 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 2: the cartel and they just disappear, and they find mass 663 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 2: graves and the suffering and murder and kidnapping that that 664 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 2: has happened in Mexico because of the Democrats political decision 665 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 2: I think was cruel and horrible. And Tom, you're exactly 666 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 2: right that the US military can take out the cartels, 667 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 2: and we've done it before in Columbus. President Eurebe asked 668 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 2: the military to come in and take out the cartels 669 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 2: in Columbia, and we came in and did that, and 670 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 2: we could do it again and and and I do 671 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 2: think it would be much better if the Mexican government 672 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 2: invited us in it. It would have transformational impact within Mexico. 673 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, they say a lot of lives, like say, Lexing 674 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 3: cartels have killed thousands of judges and prosecutors and journalists. Yeah, 675 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 3: and citizens. So you know, I wish they. I wish 676 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 3: they'd joined with President Trump, and that would be a 677 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 3: game changer, Uh, for Mexico and the United States. 678 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 2: All right, final question, we saw just this week that 679 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 2: that New Jersey Democrat Congresswoman Lamonica mac Ivor was charged 680 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 2: for assaulting law enforcement at an ICE facility. Uh, tell 681 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 2: me tell us how important that is? And and and 682 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 2: what do you think about about the fact that that 683 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 2: charges were brought for assault? We saw during the Biden 684 00:34:54,440 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 2: administration repeatedly, Uh, law enforcement, Customs, Border Patrol ICE agents 685 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 2: were subject to physical assault and no charges were brought. 686 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 2: How important is it that these charges were brought? 687 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 3: The Sun's a strong mentions is very important. It also 688 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 3: proves I don't bluff. I'd said them the day inauguration. 689 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 3: If you want to not support ICE, we'll shame mind you. 690 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 3: But you have that right. If you want to protest 691 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 3: against ICE and to protest against Trump's policies, that's fine. 692 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 3: If you want to watch ICE come in and clean 693 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 3: your city up because you're a sanctuary city don't want 694 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 3: to help, you can do that too. But I said 695 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 3: from day one, you can't cross that line. You can't 696 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 3: cross the line on impediment. That's a felony. You can't 697 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 3: cross the line on noiling and harboring, concealing and they 698 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 3: will go amas mice. That's a felony. You certainly can't 699 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 3: commit criminal trespasses at our facilities, and for God's sake, 700 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 3: you can't put hands on our ice officers. And this 701 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 3: happened during the same time frame. The same week, I 702 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 3: went to Blue Mass in Washington, d C. And Remembrance 703 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 3: of the men and women in law enforce and put 704 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 3: their lives out line to this country every day. So 705 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,839 Speaker 3: we spent a week just just just praising these men 706 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 3: and women, talking to their families who also paid the 707 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,359 Speaker 3: ultimate sacrifice. They lost the loved one forever. Children lost 708 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 3: their fathers and mothers, and mothers and fathers lost their 709 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 3: sons and daughters. In the same week we're supposed to 710 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 3: be hot in law enforcement, you got you got some 711 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 3: of the member Countress putting their hands in shoving an 712 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,879 Speaker 3: ice officer, which makes that facility very unsafe. And I'm 713 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 3: sick and tired of hearing what we have Congressional oversight responsibilities. 714 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 3: There is a right way and wrong way to do it. 715 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 3: You don't force your way in the facility. You don't 716 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 3: put hands on an officer. There's we do oversight all 717 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 3: the time, and what are they finding out as people 718 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 3: are getting tours in that facility that they got the 719 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 3: highest detention standards in the industry, and it puts every 720 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 3: every other uh uh detention center in jail in the 721 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,280 Speaker 3: state of New Jersey, whether it is a county or state. 722 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 3: It puts them to shame because our detention standards are 723 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 3: so high. So when you go and calls that kind 724 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 3: of practice, where we're trying to maintain a facility with 725 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 3: very dangerous people inside, we got to protect not only 726 00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 3: the criminals, we got to protect the employees in the 727 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 3: city is on the outside. What she did was just horrendous. 728 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 3: She put hands on the officer. Like they said for 729 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 3: four years, no one's above the law. You're damn right. 730 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 3: They're not above the law, even members of Congress. The 731 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 3: president is above the law, but these are members of Congress. 732 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 2: Look amen, and I will say, Tom, I've visited dozens 733 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 2: of ICE facilities and CBP facilities. I've never found it 734 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 2: difficult to refrain from physical assault on an officer. Somehow, 735 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 2: that temptation was never there for me, and in fact, 736 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 2: for the opposite. It is my job to have their backs. 737 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 2: That's a job I take incredibly seriously.
