The Associated Press is now also reporting Baghdad 25 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: has denounced the US strikes as a quote hostile act. 26 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: The AFP news agency is reporting the government called them 27 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: an unacceptable attack on Iraqi sovereignty that damage relations, they 28 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: claim between Iraq and the US. There have been dozens 29 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: of attacks by Iranian backed militant groups and militias targeting 30 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: US forces in Iraq and Sirius since the violent October 31 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: seventh Teririst assault on Israel by Hamas, a group that 32 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: US officials have long said received financial and material aid 33 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: and support from Iran, and in response, US forces have 34 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: conducted several rounds of strikes on what defensivefic will say 35 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: are Iranian linked weapons facilities and Iran backed fighters now. 36 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: On November twentieth, several US service members were injured in 37 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: another molistic missile attack by Iran back militias on another 38 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: air base in Iraq. The Pentagon has confirmed as well 39 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: and in similar fashion to Monday's retaliation, the US immediately 40 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: launched strikes on militia, link facilities and personnel. Now, this 41 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: is the part that is so frustrating. What is so 42 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: frustrating is we know where to hit, and we're not hitting. 43 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: Them in advance. Let me say that again. 44 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: We know where to hit, and we're not hitting them 45 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: in advance. This also comes as a very somber time 46 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: in Israel, including in Bethlehem. If you talk about Christmas 47 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: and you know the history of Christmas, you understand the 48 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: significance of the Holy Site Bethlehem. What has happened this 49 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: Christmas in Bethlehem because of the attacks by Hamas and 50 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: the pro Palestinian groups, they have basically had to shut 51 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: it down. I want you to hear another story, again, 52 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: shocking story about what's happening in Israel because of their 53 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: threats against their country. Take a listen to this from CBS. 54 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: Good even give me one. Thank you for joining us. 55 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: I'm Major Garrett infer Nora. We begin this Christmas night 56 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: in Gaza with some of the most intense fightings since 57 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: the start of the war. Israel launched air strikes on 58 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: about two hundred targets in the last twenty four hours, 59 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: including a refugee camp that strike killed more than one 60 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 3: hundred civilians. Anger and frustration over hostages held by Hamas 61 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: is growing. Family members heckled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netanyahuo 62 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: today during a speech to Parliament their message bring their 63 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 3: loved ones home, and now fears the war will escalate 64 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: beyond Gaza. After a suspected Israeli airstrike on the Syrian 65 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 3: capital of Damascus killed a senior leader of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, 66 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 3: Iran Is vowing revenge elsewhere. Pope Francis used his Christmas 67 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 3: message to ask the world to pray for peace as 68 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 3: he called for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages. 69 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: CBS's MPTS tie. 70 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 3: It will start us off tonight from East Jerusalem as 71 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 3: the Egyptian government introduces an ambitious plan to end the 72 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 3: war MTS Good Evening. 73 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 4: Good evening well. The Egyptian proposal includes a ceasefire, a 74 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 4: phased release of hostages, and the creation of a Palestinian 75 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 4: government of experts who would lead the Gaza Strip and 76 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 4: the West Bank. But amid reports, Hamas has already rejected 77 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 4: the deal. Israeli airstrikes on Gaza are only intensifying. Christmas 78 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 4: was a day of carnage in Gaza after the Israeli 79 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 4: military carried out dozens of air strikes on the Magazi 80 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 4: refugee camp, killing at least one hundred Palestinians, according to 81 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 4: the Hamas run Ministry of Health and what's being described 82 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 4: as one of the deadliest Israeli attacks since the fighting began. 83 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 4: On the ground, the grief was unbearable as a father 84 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 4: hugged the lifeless body of his child. The Israeli military 85 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 4: said it was reviewing the incident after announcing seventeen of 86 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 4: its soldiers had been killed over the weekend, its worst 87 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 4: two day losses since early November. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya, 88 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 4: who met with soldiers in northern Gaza, where he told 89 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: them for good and we will not stop. Forget anyone 90 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 4: who talks about stopping elsewhere. In the West Bank city 91 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 4: of Bethlehem, in the shadow of the Church of the Nativity, 92 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 4: a sole incubator inside a figure representing Baby Jesus as 93 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 4: a symbol of Gaza's vulnerable babies. 94 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: A grim theme also. 95 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 4: On display in nearby Major Square, where a stark Nativity 96 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 4: scene of Christ born amid rubble and barbed wire was 97 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 4: set up this Christmas. The Holy City of Bethlehem was 98 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 4: in no mood to celebrate. Back in Gaza, the small 99 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 4: Christian community, one of the world's oldest, continue to struggle 100 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 4: to survive, but danger is everywhere around them. Two women, 101 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: eighty one year old Nahida Khalil Antune and her fifty 102 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 4: year old daughter Samar, were shot and killed by an 103 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 4: Israeli sniper as they walked between church buildings. 104 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 2: In Bethlehem. 105 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 4: We met Nahita's grandson, Joudi, who is sick with worry 106 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 4: for his grieving grandfather. 107 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: Saw I don't know what she to deserve. 108 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 4: This, he says. She was just an innocent old lady. 109 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: Is she in law? To Zimphi? It's Christmas? 110 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 4: How are you feeling today? You're all sad, anxious and 111 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 4: full of worry, he says. They are trapped in under siege, 112 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 4: without food or water. Again, there's nothing to celebrate and 113 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 4: I'm I'm a idea and tonight, Israel says it's bracing 114 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 4: for retaliation from Tehran as Iranian state media reports that 115 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 4: in Israeli airstrike in Syria killed a high ranking Iranian 116 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,559 Speaker 4: military leader with the Revolutionary Guards saying Israel will pay 117 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 4: for his killing, a threat that only adds to the 118 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 4: concern this war could spread across the region. 119 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: Major you listen to that report, and again it's the 120 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: Uranium media now reporting major retaliatory tax will take place, 121 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: major retaliatory tax will take place on Israel this after 122 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't understand this, so I 123 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: want to make sure this is very clear. The part 124 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: that I think is the most frustrating is notice how 125 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: even the media is promoting, yet again, every single bit 126 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: of information that comes out from the Hamas Palestinian government 127 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: as fact. Did you notice that they're acting like it 128 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: is all fact. If they say one hundred people got murdered, right, 129 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: that's how they report it. We know that they lie, 130 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: we know that they manipulate, We know that they don't 131 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: tell the truth. We know that they are constantly not 132 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: telling us accurately what's really. 133 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: Going on and what's happening. 134 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: And yet you hear in the media they still continue 135 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: to report it by saying, well, this is what they're 136 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,599 Speaker 1: saying and putting it out there. Israel has already responded 137 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: in several different ways in several different ways that they've said, Hey, 138 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: some of the information that you just heard is not accurate. 139 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: Saying that we hit this a certain site where there 140 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: was all these innocent people. They're also saying is not 141 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: accurate at this hour. Also internally, they're saying the number 142 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: of people that came number police are excuse me, number 143 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: of people that went to the hospital does not match 144 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: up with a number of victims that they are claiming 145 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: actually happen in one of those attacks. I just want 146 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: to put that information out there. But you go back 147 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: to the core, you go back to the basics of this. 148 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: You can hear and this is happening, and I warned 149 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: you it was going to happen. There is a massive, 150 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: massive turn against Israel happening right now. It is full 151 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: speed ahead against anyone who disagrees with what Israel is doing. 152 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: Defending themselves. 153 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: You heard net and Yahoo there telling them we will 154 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: not stop, we will not stop. After what happened to 155 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: them on the seventh. I do not blame them for 156 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: quote not stopping.

In recent weeks, 334 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: Biden administration shuttered the Eagle Pass bridge, one port of 335 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: entry and the railroad bridge linking Eagle Pass to Mexico. 336 00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: What do they do? 337 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: They reassign personnel to address the continuing migrant surge. 338 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 2: The railroad line. 339 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: Was shut to slow the flow of migrants, as that 340 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: is the primary mode of transportation for the group of migrants, 341 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: sometimes in the thousands, to reach the US border for 342 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: the interior of Mexico. 343 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: The rail bridge. 344 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: Reopened earlier Friday, signaling the flow of migrants may continued 345 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: unobated in the coming days. The announcement on Friday also 346 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: included instructions to some Border Patrol agents and their managers 347 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: that the holiday leave that was scheduled more than a 348 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: year in advance may be canceled for a few employees 349 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: that qualified. The sources said, as with previous migrant surges 350 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: in the area, the Department of Home in Security has 351 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: not put forth any solution to the massive crossings and 352 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: has left the Border Patrol to deal with the monumental 353 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: task of providing humanitarian tear thousands and thousands that are 354 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: arriving and breaking into this country illegally every single day. 355 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: Sources also said that this move to shutter operations could 356 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: not have come at a worse time, saying this, the 357 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: cartels know that we have fewer agents on patrol during 358 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: the holiday season. 359 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 2: We heighten our alert during these times to combat this. 360 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: With no agents on patrol inland or on the immediate border. 361 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: We are inviting them to move contraband at high volumes 362 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: and high target values at will, with no threat of 363 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: being caught, no threat of apprehension. This is the biggest 364 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: Christmas present the US has ever given to the drug cartels. 365 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: Earlier this week, we also, as I mentioned, the agency 366 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: shut down all border patrol highway inspection checkpoints for the 367 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: same reason. The checkpoints are a critical tear in the 368 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: border patrol security strategy and serve as the last line 369 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: of defense to prevent migrants and most importantly, fetnol and 370 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: other narcoctics from leaving the border region. As of Saturday morning, 371 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,959 Speaker 1: the processing facility was nearly five times over capacity, holding 372 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: foury eight hundred migrants in a soft sided processing facility 373 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: designed to hold a thousand. At another temporary outdoor staging 374 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: site near the Camino Real International Bridge, there was nearly 375 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: five hundred migrants still waiting transportation, according to sources. The 376 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: source says the administration is choosing to exercise options at 377 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: further decrease border security to address the surge instead of 378 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: ending the wide scale practice of catch and release. 379 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: Quote. 380 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: It boggles the mind that we are leaving the border 381 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: wide open, not responding to migrant incursions onto private property 382 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: or stemming the flow of fetanyls, simply because we can't 383 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 1: effectively remove migrants who we know do not qualify for asylum. 384 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: The sources emphasized, saying this policies previously available to border patrol, 385 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: including the Remain in Mexico policy and others that stem 386 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: the abuse of asylums of the asylum system, are no 387 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: longer an option under the current administration. The impacts of 388 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: the crossings are also felt by local communities that rely 389 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: on the ports of entry for legal crossings for tourism, shopping, 390 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: and employment. The highway checkpoints serve as the last line 391 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: of defense for the border patrol to detect humans smuggling, 392 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: sex trafficking, child sex exploitation and smuggling, and other cross 393 00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: border crimes such as fetnyls smuggling, which is killing more 394 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: more young people in this country than anything else. These 395 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: closed stations, they say, will also not be available to 396 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: respond to calls for assistance from local law enforcement miles 397 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: from the border. As was reported last week, the increase 398 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: in crossings has frustrated local residents as well as city 399 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: leaders who are exacerbated by the level of migrant crossings 400 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: facing the small towns of Eagle Pass, Texas. 401 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 2: The mayor there. 402 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: Took to social media earlier this month to express his 403 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: frustration with the surge of migrants flooding into the city, 404 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: describing the constant flow of migrants into the city as 405 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: a immigration disaster. Salinas chied a Department of Home and 406 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: Security Secretary my Orchis for visiting Euvalde, Texas, a city 407 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: sixty miles away from the border region, but failing to 408 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: visit one of the busiest migrant crossing spots in Eagle 409 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: Pass during the visit. Migrant crossings remain roughly two thousand 410 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: per day in the Del Rio sector alone. They peaked 411 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: at a new level last week, with those numbers at 412 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: more than four thousand illegal immigrants coming across in the 413 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: Del Rio sector in a twenty four hour period. Most 414 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: of the migrants being encountered at the Del Rio sector, 415 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: where four thousand people came across the border in a 416 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: twenty four hour period, are coming from Venezuela, Honduras, Colombia. 417 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: According to local sources, Most of them arrive at the 418 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: border city on freight trains and immediately crossed the Rio 419 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: Grande into the neighboring city of Eagle Pass. 420 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: Once they're there, there are problem. 421 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: Law enforcement and military authorities on both sides of the 422 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: border have remained powerless to slow the stop of the 423 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: crossings because the United States government and our president is 424 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: refusing to give them what they need to protect and 425 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: defend themselves. So to be clear, this is a process 426 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: that we're talking about right now that is avoidable. This 427 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: is a process that not only is avoidable, this is 428 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: a scenario that could be stopped with a simple change 429 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: in policy, a simple change in policy that would take 430 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: hours to begin to implement, hours nowadays hours. And we 431 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: have a president of the United States of America who 432 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: has come out and made it very clear, I'm not 433 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: changing a damn thing. I'm not doing anything differently. I'm 434 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: not doing anything to stop this. This is all being 435 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: done by design, and that's part of what you need 436 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: to understand. This is all being done by design. This 437 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: president wants there to be a flood of illegal immigrants. 438 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: Former Border patrol chief, talking about the Biden admitted administration, 439 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: had this to say on Fox Take a listen. 440 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 7: Former Border Patrol chief and former acting ICE Director Ron, 441 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 7: thank you for being here. I appreciate it. Let's start 442 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 7: off on this notion of this issue with the terror 443 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 7: watch list. We'll pull up the numbers for our viewers. 444 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 7: One hundred and sixty nine people that were on the 445 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 7: terror watch list were encountered in the fiscal year twenty 446 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 7: twenty three. So far in this fiscal year which started 447 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 7: in October, that number is thirty and those are the 448 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 7: people that were encountered. We don't know how many on 449 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 7: the terror watch lists slipped in. Let me ask you, Ron, 450 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 7: when you see this and then you hear about the 451 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 7: ten IEDs and explosive devices that were found on the border, 452 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 7: and then you see the video of people cutting the 453 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 7: border wall, it seems like they're more brazen about what 454 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 7: they're doing. There are more people coming in. What do 455 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 7: you make of the threat that this nation face is 456 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 7: going to twenty twenty four from the border. 457 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 2: Well, thanks for inviting me, Brian. You know this is good. 458 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 8: This is a good example of the threat that's in 459 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 8: the mix right, all of these people on the terror 460 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 8: watch list, and what we know now, given what the 461 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 8: conditions are at the border, is that the cartels are 462 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,719 Speaker 8: in control. You could not have a better president than 463 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 8: Joe Biden.
