We are 3 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: doing this podcast after midnight. 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Senator, you're at the border. 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 2: You are there where Title forty two has literally just expired. 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: What does this mean for the country and what have 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: you seen today? 8 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 3: Well, Ben, you and I are recording this. It is 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 3: right now twelve fourteen am Friday morning. Title forty two 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 3: expired at midnight, So for fourteen minutes, the last legal 11 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 3: authority the Biden administration was using to deport illegal aliens 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 3: is no longer in effect. From the first day of 13 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 3: the Biden presidency until today, we've seen over six and 14 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 3: a half million people cross into this country, the worst 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: illegal immigration in the history of our country. As of 16 00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: right now, it is about to get much much worse. 17 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 3: And so I flew down this afternoon Thursday afternoon and 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 3: came to the southern border with three other senators, with 19 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: Roger Marshall, with John Hoven and Ted Budd and the 20 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: four of us wanted to see firsthand what is happening here. 21 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 3: We wanted to be here for the expiration of Title 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 3: forty two to let the American people know what is 23 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 3: happening and that the Biden administration wants this absolute catastrophe 24 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 3: to unfold. 25 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: It is truly shocking to watch the images that so 26 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: many Americans saw, and we'll see over the weekend of 27 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 2: the drone footage if you've been watching Fox News channel 28 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: of tens of thousands of people waiting to come across 29 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: the border. And there was a warning that was given, 30 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: advice that was given not only to the Biden administration 31 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: by Border Patrol, but we actually have a guest with 32 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: us tonight that warrened Biden administration that this was going 33 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: to happen. And the Biden transition team clearly said, no, no, no, 34 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: we don't care about the chaos and the anarchy. 35 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: We want this by design. 36 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 4: Well, that's exactly right. 37 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 3: And so tonight, Ben, you and I are joined by 38 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: someone who has become a very good friend of mine, 39 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 3: Brandon Judd. Brandon is the president of the National Border 40 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: Patrol Council. That is the union, the national union for 41 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 3: the men and women of the Border Patrol all across 42 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: this country. And I have spent hundreds of hours with 43 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 3: Brandon and with the heroes of the Border Patrol. I've 44 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: been blessed to go out with them repeatedly on midnight 45 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 3: patrol down on the border. I've been been with them 46 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 3: at midnight muster. I've been with them as they're processing 47 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: this deluge of illegal immigrants. I've been with them to 48 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 3: encourage those heroes while they have political superiors who undermine them, 49 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 3: who belittle them, who insult them, and who deliberately prevent 50 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: them from doing their jobs. And I have to say 51 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: it is a miracle that they continue to show up 52 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 3: to work every day to protect this country, even while 53 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: facing a president and an administration that is doing everything 54 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 3: it can to make it impossible for them to succeed 55 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: at their task. 56 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: Brendan, I got to ask you about the warning and 57 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: the advice that you gave to the Biden administration. You 58 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 2: gave advice, You told the Biden transition team before even 59 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 2: Biden took office what they need to do to keep 60 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: a secure border. You represent, obviously as the president of 61 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: National Border Patrol Council border patrol agents who right now, 62 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: God bless all of you for what you do, because 63 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: I can't imagine going to work every day knowing that 64 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: the administration is working against you the way that they 65 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: are right now. 66 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: But what did you tell them? 67 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: And you knew this day would come, and this hour 68 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: would come, and this moment would come if they did 69 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: and put in place the policies that they have now 70 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: put on all. 71 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 4: Of us, not just once. 72 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 5: I sat down with the transition team three separate times 73 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 5: to discuss the issues that we face on the border, 74 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 5: to discuss what could be done to keep the American 75 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 5: people safe. And that's what border security is all about. 76 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 5: We've got to keep the American people. 77 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 3: Scar Brandon, this was not just the Trump transition team, 78 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: although you sat down with him as well. 79 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 4: I talk to I was on the Trump transition. 80 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: You were on the Trump transition team. But when Joe 81 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 3: Biden came in, you sat I did with them. I did, 82 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 3: and you tried to help them not have this disaster. 83 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 5: I did the best that I could. I didn't vote 84 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 5: for Joe Biden. I don't like Joe Biden, and I 85 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 5: didn't like him as the Senator. I didn't like him 86 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 5: as as the Vice president. But I did want him 87 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 5: to succeed as the President of the United States, because 88 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 5: if he succeeds, the American people succeed. 89 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 4: That's all I cared about. And so I sat down 90 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 4: with the transition team. 91 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 5: I sat down with him three separate times, and we 92 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 5: went over in depth what needs to be done on 93 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 5: the border secure to secure the border, and we even 94 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 5: stayed within the parameters that that Biden game on the 95 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 5: campaign trail. It's not like we offered them up radical ideas. 96 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 5: It's not like we were telling them stick with the 97 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 5: Trump policies, although I would have loved to have stuck 98 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 5: with those policies. We work within their parameters and they 99 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 5: still rejected it, which clearly showed to me that they 100 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 5: didn't care about securing the border. They didn't care about 101 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 5: the American people who they're supposed to be protecting, and 102 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 5: so it was really disgusting to me. And not only 103 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 5: did I sit down with the transition team, I actually 104 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 5: spoke with Secretary of my Orchis prior to his confirmation 105 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 5: and discussed the issues with him as well. And so 106 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 5: when you look at this, it's not like they can 107 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 5: claim that they didn't know. It's not like they can 108 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 5: say we didn't know what we needed to do. They 109 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 5: know exactly what they need to do. They knew what 110 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 5: they needed to do, and so you have to ask yourself, 111 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 5: are they doing this on purpose? And I think that 112 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 5: the only answer is yes, they are. They are doing 113 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 5: this on purpose. They are pandering to open border activists. 114 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 4: Look at the West Wing, Look at the West Wing. 115 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 5: All of the political appointees in the West they come 116 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 5: from activist backgrounds. Look at the Look at the political 117 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 5: appointees in DHS. They come from activist backgrounds. So now 118 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 5: you have activists that are running legitimate law enforcement agency. 119 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 3: Brandon, you were with me when when I brought down 120 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: nineteen senators to the boarder and we went in to 121 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: the Biden cages, to the tent city at Donna, and 122 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 3: there the Biden administration refused to let TV cameras in. 123 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 3: They refused to let Fox News in, They refused to 124 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 3: let ABC News in because they said that the that 125 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: the cameraman might have COVID. Now, mind you, these these 126 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 3: these Biden cages were packed wall to wall and as 127 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 3: your recall, and Brandon, you'll recall well, because you were 128 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 3: standing there, I pulled out my cell phone and I 129 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 3: began taking pictures and recording it. And the Biden DHS 130 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 3: had sent they'd sent this little political operative who jumped 131 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 3: in front of the camera and tried to block me. 132 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 3: And she was she was the right hand to to 133 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 3: to the head of CBP, and her job was prevent 134 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 3: the American people from seeing the disaster they were creating. 135 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 3: And so, you know, I kind of laughed and said, well, 136 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: you're about to make yourself famous. And I think that 137 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 3: that video that I took on my cell phone because 138 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 3: they wouldn't let news cameras in, it ran on just 139 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 3: about every news station. 140 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: It did, It did, and it showed. 141 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 3: And at one point she was yelling at me, respect 142 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: these people, respect these their dignity, and I said, you 143 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: respect these people. You're the one that have locked them 144 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: up in cages like animals and you leave. They were stacked. 145 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: You saw children shoulder to shoulder, lying on the floor 146 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: on mats with with silver reflective blankets. There was a 147 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 3: rate of COVID positivity among the kids that was through 148 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 3: the roof. And the Biden policies kept having thousands upon 149 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: thousands and ultimately millions of people coming. 150 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 5: As a federal employee as a border patrol asis and 151 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 5: that was one of the funniest things I had ever 152 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 5: seen in my career. It was absolutely great to see 153 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 5: this little political appointed, this little activist just absolutely lose 154 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 5: her mind. And that goes back to the problem that 155 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 5: we're dealing with this administration. 156 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 4: We all want to have an honest conversation. 157 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 5: When I say we all want to the honest people 158 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 5: want to have a conversation so the American people understand 159 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 5: what's going on. I don't care if the American people 160 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 5: agree with me. I don't care if they come back. 161 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 4: And say that you know I'm wrong. 162 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 5: All I want is I want them to have all 163 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 5: of the information. I want them to be able to 164 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 5: make an informed opinion upon all of the evidence, not 165 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 5: just the rhetoric that comes out of the White House. 166 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 5: And if we have that honest conversation, I am absolutely 167 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 5: convinced that the American people will agree that the border 168 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 5: needs to be secured. And I am absolutely convinced that 169 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 5: they will blame what is currently going on on the 170 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 5: border on this administration, and that they will know that 171 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 5: this administration is actually killing American citizens. Fentanyl poisoning is 172 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 5: taking place. Seventy thousand US citizens are losing their lives 173 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 5: every year to fentanyl poisoning.

We're sick of him. He's got 180 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 5: to go. As far as we're concerned, he has got 181 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 5: to go. And we were absolutely demralized. 182 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 4: I believe that. 183 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 5: Every hard working person in this country, they want to 184 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 5: feel like their job means something.

And I know that was a long 231 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: time ago in some people's minds. To me, it's still 232 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 2: very fresh. I still remember what that was like. How 233 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: we have a border that is so wide open, and 234 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: we also know that people are exploiting our open border. 235 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: How big of a concern is that for you and 236 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: all the border patrol a DIDs you work with. 237 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 5: We always talk about the apprehensions, We talk about the 238 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 5: how those those numbers are skyrocketing, how we're taking too 239 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 5: many people in custody. What doesn't get talked about enough 240 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 5: and where national security is involved, is the god Aways, 241 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 5: the people that are able to enter the country illegally 242 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 5: and evade apprehension. Right now, we're having about three thousand 243 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 5: god aways per day. That means three thousand people who 244 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 5: we don't know who they are, where they're coming from, 245 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 5: what their. 246 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 6: Intentions are here in the United States. 247 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 5: They're able to evade apprehension, and we're going to fill 248 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 5: the effects of it down the road. 249 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 6: It's never terror is always lay in weight. 250 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: That's what they do. 251 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 6: They wait until there's an opportunity. 252 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 5: And if we have people that are crossing the border 253 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 5: illegally and they're able to evade apprehension, they're coming from 254 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 5: the Middle East, or they're coming from a country that 255 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 5: wants to do us harm, we're ultimately going to feel 256 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 5: that effects. That again, is one of the reasons that 257 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 5: border security is so important to the American people. It's 258 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 5: so important to this nation that we're able to secure 259 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 5: the border. It's so important to this nation that we're 260 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 5: able to vet every single person that comes into this 261 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 5: country so we can ensure that we can protect the 262 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 5: interest not only of the economy, but also the interests 263 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 5: of each individual American. 264 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 3: Well and Brandon, I want to underscore something you said, 265 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 3: if you're coming here illegally and you're not a bad guy, 266 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 3: You're not a drug dealer, you're not a gang member, 267 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: you don't have a criminal record, you're not a terrorist. 268 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 3: Is there any reason for you to be a runner? 269 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,239 Speaker 3: Is there any reason for you to be a godaway? 270 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: None? 271 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 6: Absolutely none? 272 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 4: And why is that? 273 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 5: Because you know you're going to be released under these policies, 274 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 5: You're going to be released in the United States, So 275 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 5: why would you run? 276 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 3: So understand that if you're just a regular Central American 277 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 3: who wants to come to America, what you do is 278 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 3: what they're doing by the thousands. 279 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 4: Every night. 280 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: You come across and you go look for a bordertrol agent. 281 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: You don't run. You actually walk up to the border 282 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 3: patrol agent. Most of them are carrying with them a 283 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 3: plastic baggie, typically with some form of identification, maybe a 284 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: birth certificate, maybe a passport, and usually a phone number 285 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 3: of somebody in the United States, and they go look 286 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 3: for a. 287 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 4: Border patrol agent. They do. 288 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 3: They not only don't run, they want to find the 289 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 3: border patrol agent because the border patrol agent will process 290 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 3: them and under Biden, will put them on an airplane 291 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 3: or a bus and take them to wherever they want 292 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 3: to go in the United States. So the three thousand 293 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 3: people a day who were running, who were got aways, 294 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 3: the natural inference is every one of them has something 295 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 3: to hide. Every one of them has something that they're like, Wait, 296 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 3: if I were to turn myself into a border patrol agent, 297 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 3: they would find out that I have a homicide conviction, 298 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: they would find out that I'm a member of MS thirteen, 299 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 3: they would find out that I'm the terrorist watch list, 300 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 3: they would find out that I'm carrying a backpack full 301 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: of marijuana or fetanol. And those are the people that 302 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 3: are getting away, and they're doing it every single day, 303 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 3: in significant part because the border patrol agents are swamped 304 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 3: with the deluge of illegal immigrants, which means that bad 305 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 3: guys have free reign because there aren't agents left to 306 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 3: deal with them. 307 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 4: Is that am I accurately capturing that? 308 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 5: You nailed it on the head when you look at 309 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 5: the numbers. We talk about numbers all the time, but 310 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 5: numbers without context are nothing but numbers. So we have 311 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 5: to put the numbers in context so people can understand 312 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 5: why it's so important. When in a normal administration, in 313 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 5: a normal day, we will apprehend between a one thousand 314 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 5: to fifteen hundred people per day. Right now we're apprehending 315 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 5: ten thousand people per day. What that does is that 316 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 5: that strains all of our resources. It pulls our agents 317 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 5: out the off the border from patrolling and puts us 318 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 5: in administrative duties. And when we're in administrative duties, we 319 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 5: can't go after the cartels. And right now, with ten 320 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 5: thousand apprehensions per day, that means we only have about 321 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 5: fifteen percent of our resource of patrolling the border. And 322 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 5: when you only have fifteen percent of your resource patroling 323 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 5: the border, the cartels own the border. 324 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 4: At that point. 325 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 5: Now they have free reign to get anything into this 326 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 5: country that they want. 327 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 3: Well and Brandon, the example you gave me is with 328 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: the border patrol mustering forty four agents, when you have 329 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 3: apprehensions that are ten thousand a day, roughly four of 330 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 3: those agents are out in the field actually in a 331 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 3: position to stop a drug runner, to stop a terrorist, 332 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 3: to stop a bad guy. And roughly forty of those 333 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 3: forty four are doing processing, are caring for just this 334 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 3: massive humanity, and are basically being social workers. 335 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 4: And is that what's happening? 336 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: It is? 337 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 6: It is what's happening. 338 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 5: We're not doing a law enforcement job. We are, in 339 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 5: fact being social workers. We're taking care of these individuals. 340 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 5: We're giving them food, we're giving diapers. At times, we're 341 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 5: even changing diapers. And so, yeah, we've been taken out 342 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 5: of the law enforcement role and we've been put into 343 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 5: a secondary role that's administrative in nature, and that's not 344 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 5: what law enforcement is supposed to be doing. We've got 345 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 5: to go back and we have to look at this. 346 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 5: We have activists that are running legitimate law enforcement organizations. 347 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 5: And anytime that you have activists running law enforcement organizations, 348 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 5: we're not going to be able to enforce the rule 349 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 5: of law. They don't like the rule of law. Activists 350 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 5: don't like that. They want this open order. 351 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 3: Well, listen, this is the same thing as George Soros 352 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 3: DA's and criminal law enforcement. This is putting radical activists 353 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 3: who hate the mission of border patrol in charge of 354 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 3: border patrol. And if they hate the mission of border patrol, 355 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 3: they won't let them actually fulfill their mission. And so 356 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 3: that means a couple of things. One, it means America 357 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 3: is at much greater risk. It means we have what 358 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 3: we had last year over one hundred thousand overdoses, about 359 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 3: seventy percent of which were from Chinese fentanyl. And by 360 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,959 Speaker 3: the way, that's the highest rate of overdoses in the 361 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 3: history of the United States of America. Congratulations Joe Biden 362 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 3: and the Democrats. You've set a record, but it ain't 363 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 3: a good one. It means terrorists can come into this 364 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 3: country unabated. It also means as a morale matter. Look, 365 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 3: I've gotten to know a lot of border patrol agents 366 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 3: over the last decade. These guys are tough. These guys 367 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 3: sign up. Look, they're like cops, Ben, your dad was 368 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: a cop. They sign up because they want to defend America, 369 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 3: because they believe in our country. They want to keep 370 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 3: our country safe that they want to protect kids, they 371 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 3: want to protect our communities, They want to stop drug traffickers, 372 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 3: they want to stop human traffickers. 373 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 4: And these tough, badass. 374 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 3: Law enforcement agents instead find themselves changing diapers and processing 375 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 3: paperwork day after day after day. That's not using their 376 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 3: skills where they're needed, but it's also demoralizing the living 377 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 3: daylights out of these guys. 378 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 5: It is it is, and I will change diapers if 379 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 5: I feel I can go after the cartels as well. 380 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 5: I recognize that these are small children. We've got to 381 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 5: treat these small children the best that we possibly can. 382 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 5: But I want to be able to go after the cartels. 383 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 5: That's what we want to be able to do. We 384 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 5: want to be able to go after their profits. We 385 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 5: want to stop them from trafficking people into modern day slavery. 386 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 6: That's what's happening. These people are. 387 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 5: Going into the sex industry, forcibly, going into the sex industry. 388 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 5: They're going into sweatshops, and that's what we want to stop. 389 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 5: We we want to protect life. We believe that life 390 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 5: is very important. The Democrats given off a lot of 391 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 5: lip service. Biden gives a lot of lip service. Please 392 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 5: look at his actions, watch his actions, don't listen to 393 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 5: his words. 394 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 6: Judge him on his actions. 395 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 5: And if we judge them on their actions, would we 396 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 5: would quickly find out that all they care about is themselves. 397 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 5: They care about their next election. They do not care 398 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 5: about the right things. And that's why we like to 399 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 5: support the right people. We want good people in elected office. 400 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 5: We want people that don't care about that election. They 401 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 5: care about the American people. Biden is not that person. 402 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 2: What is the biggest policy that needs to change. I mean, 403 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 2: we're seeing this happen. It's humanitarian crisis. Many communities of 404 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 2: declared state of emergencies. But what is the one policy, Brandon, 405 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: that you wish would change immediately that can allow you 406 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 2: guys to empower you guys to actually do your job. 407 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 2: And before you answer, I want to tell you bet 408 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 2: our friends at Patriot Mobile.

I bet you anything that he 433 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 5: could answer this question the exact same way that I 434 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 5: would answer the question, Senata. 435 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 6: What's the answer? 436 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 3: End catch and release and reinstate the remain in Mexico agreement. 437 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 6: That's it right there. That's all we have to do. 438 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 5: And by the way, that doesn't cost the taxpayer anything. 439 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 5: The taxpayer does not have to shoulder this burden. We 440 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 5: could secure the border tomorrow with the resources that we have. 441 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 5: I don't need more manpower, I don't need more techno, 442 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 5: I don't need more infrastructure. I need policy, something that 443 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 5: doesn't cost us anything, and we could secure it tomorrow. 444 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,959 Speaker 2: Is there a chance that this gets so bad that 445 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: they will be publicly shamed into doing that. And I'm 446 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: asking you, Senator to the politics this as well. At 447 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: what point does this start to backfire on Democrats? I mean, 448 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 2: if this many illegal immigrants keep coming across the border, 449 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 2: as we're witnessing right now with the ending of Title 450 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 2: forty two, and we see even in New York they 451 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 2: said they weren't going to bust people to other parts 452 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: of New York, they've already lied in New York City. 453 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 2: They kept doing that actually yesterday while it was in 454 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 2: New York City, and they're kicking Americans out of shelters 455 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 2: to make room for illegal immigrants coming in, including children. 456 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 2: Americans and children yesterday were kicked out of shelters in 457 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 2: New York City to make room for legal immigrants. They 458 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 2: are displacing Americans for this. At what point does this 459 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 2: start to backfire? 460 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know that there is a point where 461 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 3: o'biden feels one ioto shame. I don't know that there 462 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 3: is a point where Kamala Harris feels one ioto of shame. 463 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: I don't know that there's a point where Alejandro Mayorcis 464 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 3: feels one ioto of shame. I can tell you this though, 465 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 3: Congressional Democrats are starting to get nervouses all get out. 466 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 3: You know, we talked on this pod at length about 467 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 3: six weeks ago when Alejandro Mayorcus testified in front of 468 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 3: the Senate Judiciary Committee, and I lit him up. But 469 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 3: perhaps the most interesting moment of that entire testimony is, 470 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 3: as I'm going after Mayorcis, he looks up to Dick 471 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 3: Durbin and he basically pleads for Durbin to come save 472 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 3: him and listen. Dick Durbin, I think is the smartest 473 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 3: of the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. 474 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 4: He is. 475 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 3: He's a hard left winger, but Dick and I have 476 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 3: spent the last eleven years battling and beating the living 477 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 3: daylights out of each other. He's not shy about coming 478 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 3: after me. I'm not shy about coming after him. And 479 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 3: Durban looked at Mayorcis and just kind of shrugged. And 480 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 3: I thought that was the most revealing moment because what 481 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 3: it said to me is uh oh, Durban and the 482 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 3: Dems are nervous. They recognize this is an absolute disaster 483 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 3: that's playing out on the southern border, and they're starting 484 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 3: to think about their own rear ends and doing a 485 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 3: cya and they're ready to let Mayorcis twist. And you know, 486 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 3: it's interesting, Ben, I want to tell you some of 487 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 3: the things that I learned on this trip, because a 488 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 3: number of things were different on this trip from the 489 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 3: last time I was at the border, and I'm here often, 490 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 3: but when I was last at the border, the bulk 491 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 3: of the illegal immigration was coming from a handful of 492 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 3: Central American countries. It was coming from Nicaragua and Guatemala, 493 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 3: and Honduras and El Salvador. Those four were driving the 494 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 3: vast majority of illegal immigration. What is fascinating Now we're 495 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 3: in Brownsville. Normally I would go to McCallan, which was 496 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 3: the epicenter of the crisis. The cartels have moved to Brownsville, 497 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 3: which is further east. Brownsville is the very southern tip 498 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 3: of Texas, and Brownsville right now is seeing a massive influx. 499 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 3: Just in Brownsville, they have seen in less than a 500 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 3: month more than forty thousand illegal immigrants. And what is 501 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 3: fascinating about what they're seeing Thirty five thousand of them 502 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 3: have been Venezuelans. It's a massive influx of Venezuelans. The 503 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 3: next largest group here in Brownsville has been Colombians, and 504 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 3: Colombians have been roughly two thousand, and it goes down 505 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 3: from there. Let me tell you in another amazing stat 506 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,959 Speaker 3: they told me. They said they are right now encountering 507 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 3: between ninety and one hundred Chinese nationals each and every day. 508 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: Wow. 509 00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: Last time I was down here, it was four or 510 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 3: five Chinese nationals. It's gone from four or five a 511 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 3: day to ninety to one hundred. And I pressed them 512 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 3: and said, okay, what happens with those Chinese nationals? They said, well, 513 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: we investigate them and look for derogatory information, something like 514 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 3: a criminal conviction, something that is a real concern that 515 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 3: they may be a spy. And if they have derogatory information, 516 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 3: we deport them. And I said, okay, out of that ninety, 517 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 3: how many will fall into that category? And they said, ah, 518 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 3: five or six, which means about eighty five Chinese nationals 519 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 3: a day they're just releasing, releasing into America. That is 520 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 3: a massive shift. Let me tell you something else that 521 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 3: I saw tonight. Just south of the border in Mateamores, 522 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 3: there are twenty two thousand illegal aliens camped out right 523 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 3: along the Rio Grande River, It is, as you noted 524 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 3: at the outset, like an invading army. We went down 525 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 3: to the river banks, we saw them. They had fires burning, 526 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 3: they had music playing. They were throwing a party because 527 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 3: Title forty two was ending tonight and that twenty two 528 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 3: thousand was planning to invade this country in the next 529 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 3: couple of days. And there are one hundred and seventy 530 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 3: thousand all up and down the border in exactly that position, 531 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 3: getting ready to come over because of Joe Biden. 532 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 2: Brandon, You've seen surges before. You've seen things change when 533 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 2: Donald Trump stopped being the president and Joe Biden was 534 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 2: coming in. Even before Joe Biden been toorn and you 535 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 2: saw a surge that was taking place. Have you ever 536 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 2: witnessed anything like what you're witnessing right now? And what 537 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: does the new normal look like? Is this going to 538 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 2: be a massive surge and then the numbers are going 539 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: to come way back down, or is this going to 540 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 2: be a massive surge with all time new high numbers 541 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 2: each day, each week, each month. 542 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 5: In my worst nightmare, I never thought it could have 543 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 5: gotten this bad. Ever, they are trying to set the 544 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 5: new normal. They don't want to go back to what 545 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 5: it used to be. They want these numbers to continue. 546 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 5: They want the American people to think that, Okay, well 547 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 5: ten thousand today, ten thousand tomorrow, that's normal. And then 548 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 5: it goes up to twelve thousand, and then it goes 549 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 5: up to thirteen thousand. They just want that number to 550 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 5: continue to go up and up and up. Remember a 551 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 5: normal day, under a normal administration, this includes Obama, Our 552 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 5: normal apprehensions are between one thousand to fifteen hundred per day. 553 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 5: We normally deploy eighty percent of our resources to the field. 554 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 5: We only have twenty percent of our resources doing administrative work. 555 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 5: And that is completely changed. They have completely flipped it 556 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 5: upside down. We're now apprehending ten thousand people per day. 557 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 5: We only have twenty percent of our resources patrolling the border. 558 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 5: If twenty percent of our resource patrol on the border 559 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 5: and the cartels control everything. We used to be able 560 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 5: to go after the cartels, We used to be able 561 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 5: to go after the profits. We used to be able 562 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 5: to go after their drugs. Now we can't do any 563 00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 5: of that. 564 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: All do You can't go after the cartels and you 565 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 2: can't go after the drugs. I really want you to 566 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 2: explain that, because so many people live singing and be saying, well, wait, 567 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 2: why can't they do that part of their job that 568 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 2: has nothing to do with Title forty two. So explain 569 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 2: why you can't. 570 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,239 Speaker 5: Because we don't have anybody in the field to do 571 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 5: the job we're all doing. None of us are doing 572 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 5: law enforcement work. We're all doing administrative duties. If we 573 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 5: were doing law enforcement work, we would be able to 574 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 5: go out for the cartels. We would be able to 575 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 5: go after and try to put a dent in their profits. 576 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 3: So let me give you an example, Ben, All right, 577 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 3: So we came down here to Brownsville, and we came 578 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 3: right along the border to the place where where they 579 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 3: where illegal immigrants have been crossing in vast numbers. And 580 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 3: what happens is they walk across, and we saw multiple 581 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 3: groups walking across, and they walk right up. They look 582 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 3: for the border patrol agents. They actually don't look for them. 583 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 3: They know where they are. The cartels have told them, okay, 584 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 3: they're right over there, just walk up the road, they'll 585 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 3: be right there. So they walk straight up and they're 586 00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 3: carrying with the identification. And there's actually new tech the 587 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 3: border patrol agents have. It's on their cell phone. So 588 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 3: every agent has it on their cell phone. And with 589 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 3: the cell phone, let's say the illegal immigrant has a 590 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 3: birth certificate or a passport, some form of identification. They 591 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 3: scan that ID with their cell phone. It auto populates 592 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 3: the fields. And I saw them doing this so over 593 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 3: and over again. It puts the name in, puts the 594 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 3: age in, it puts whatever country they say they're from. 595 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 4: They've now streamlined it. 596 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 3: Do you know how long it takes a border patrol 597 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 3: agent to process an illegal immigrant when they cross right now, 598 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 3: just using the border using the cell phone app. 599 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: I would assume extremely fast, but how fast? 600 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 4: Two minutes? 601 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: Wow? 602 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 2: So you literally can break in America, turn yourself into America, 603 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: and be processed in one hundred and twenty seconds. 604 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 4: Justin Brownsville. And I saw them do it over and 605 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 4: over again. 606 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 3: I watched them fill it out and they process it 607 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 3: the cell phone. It takes about two minutes that they 608 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 3: have them sit in a little staging area and they 609 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 3: have right now justin Brownsville. So this is one tiny 610 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 3: part of the border. They have over forty bus loads 611 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 3: a day of illegal immigrants. They take them from the 612 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 3: staging area to a detention center to figure out, Okay, 613 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 3: where do you want to go, and then they arrange 614 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 3: the transportation and ship them wherever they want to go. 615 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 3: But what Joe Biden is trying to do, what Kamala 616 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 3: Harris is trying to do, what Alejandro may Orcis thinks 617 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 3: his job is is not stop illegal immigration, is not 618 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 3: prevent the trafficking. It is rather to increase illegal immigration. 619 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 3: It is to increase human trafficking. And may Orcus every 620 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 3: day wakes up and says, how can I make it 621 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 3: more efficient? How can I make it faster? How can 622 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 3: I make two minutes into ninety seconds? And what they 623 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 3: want is they want the revolving door not to stop, 624 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 3: but to spin even faster. 625 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 4: And the suffering. 626 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 3: Last year, eight hundred and fifty three migrants died crossing 627 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 3: illegally into this country. The body bags, the women being 628 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 3: sexually assaulted, the children being brutalized, the people dying of 629 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 3: drug overdoses, those are all, from the Biden administration's perspective, 630 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 3: perfectly acceptable losses for their political goal of utterly reshaping 631 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,959 Speaker 3: the American electorate. And they are willing to ignore modern 632 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 3: day human slavery and sex trafficking because politics matters more 633 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 3: to them. 634 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's I think the part that angers so 635 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 2: many Americans. I want to ask you one final question, 636 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 2: Brandon about these cartels, because what has been lost in 637 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 2: this is the profits and the amount of carnage not 638 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 2: just left behind, but also the amount of carnage in 639 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,959 Speaker 2: lives that they're ruining on this side of the border 640 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 2: with the drugs coming across and the fetanyl and the gangs. 641 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 2: Put that into perspective for everyone that's listening, because it's 642 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 2: not just the numbers, as you mentioned, it is also 643 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 2: all of this other organized crime and how rich are 644 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 2: they getting off this and what are they doing with 645 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 2: that money?

And when 676 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 5: they do that, they open up their their opportunities to 677 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 5: smuggle in drugs, to smuggle in uh people from special 678 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 5: interest countries. 679 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 6: It's all about. 680 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,919 Speaker 4: And Brandon, what's a special interest country. 681 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 5: That's a country that wants to do us harm some 682 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 5: something like like whack i Ran, Syria, Yemen. 683 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 4: All of those. 684 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,959 Speaker 3: Countries countries are terrorists that might might try to blow 685 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 3: us up. 686 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: Yep. 687 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 688 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 5: And so what these cartels do is they use these 689 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,760 Speaker 5: illegal immigrants as pawns to open up their traffic lanes 690 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,479 Speaker 5: when they pull when they when they cross a bunch 691 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 5: of illegal aliens, they know that it pulls our resources 692 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 5: to that area, opening up gaps in our coverage, and 693 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 5: that's when they cross their fetanyl and that fetanyl is 694 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 5: coming in. So they're using illegal aliens and they're making 695 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 5: billions of dollars, not in a year, in a month. 696 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 5: They're making billions of dollars off of illegal immigrants. And 697 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 5: then you add on top of that the astronomical amount 698 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 5: of money that they're making off of the drug trade. 699 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 5: And it's all based upon the policies of this administration. 700 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 5: This administration is enriching these cartels through their policies and 701 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 5: it could stop tomorrow. And that's what is so frustrating 702 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 5: to every single one of us. 703 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 3: Well, and Brandon is exactly right then, And let me 704 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 3: say two things in closing. Number one, let me give 705 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 3: you specificity, Ben on the numbers you asked for. And 706 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,280 Speaker 3: my source may be surprising. It's the New York Times, 707 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 3: hardly a right wing source. According to New York Times, 708 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 3: the Mexican drug cartels in twenty eighteen made roughly five 709 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 3: hundred million dollars from human trafficking, a lot of money. 710 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,919 Speaker 3: Five hundred million dollars is a bunch of money. Last year, 711 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:47,399 Speaker 3: those same cartels made over thirteen billion dollars just from 712 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:54,760 Speaker 3: human trafficking. Their profits have increased two thousand, six hundred percent. 713 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 4: I've said this before, but it's not hyperbole. 714 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 3: The single best thing that ever happened to the drug 715 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 3: cartels was Joe Biden becoming president because he took these murderous, torturing, 716 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 3: sociopathic gangsters and he made them Decca billionaires. And they 717 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 3: have now created a global empire, including with illegal immigrants 718 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 3: working for them and committing crimes in every community in 719 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 3: every city in America. Let me make a second point. 720 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 3: When we were down here, there were a bunch of 721 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,399 Speaker 3: reporters here, and a bunch of the reporters are little 722 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 3: left wing twits, So reporters would ask things like is 723 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 3: compassion important? Isn't it important that we be compassionate? And 724 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 3: I'll tell you a conversation I had with a couple 725 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 3: of reporters that I have to admit it made them 726 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 3: actually sort of pause and shake their head. I said, listen, 727 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 3: we all remember the immigration debates that played out for 728 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 3: years and five six years ago. When you were talking 729 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 3: about immigration, all the Democrats would get on their high 730 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 3: horse and they'd say, we're compassion We're humane, not like 731 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,240 Speaker 3: you mean, nasty Republicans who want to secure the border. 732 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,399 Speaker 3: We're the ones who are compassionate. And when I put 733 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 3: it out to reporters that, I said, you know what 734 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 3: the Democrats know. They're full of crap now. And you 735 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 3: know how that you know that because none of them 736 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 3: are here. Joe Biden isn't here, Kamala Harris isn't here, 737 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 3: Elizabeth Warren isn't here, Bernie Sanders isn't here. AOC isn't here. 738 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 3: And it's because you cannot look at the body bags, 739 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 3: at the women horribly assaulted, at the children, brutalized, You 740 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 3: cannot look at the horrific suffering their causing and claim 741 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 3: it is somehow humane. When I was standing down by 742 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,720 Speaker 3: the Rio Grand we saw lots of kids' shoes, flip flops. 743 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 3: I saw a little pair of flipflops, pink flip flops. 744 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 3: They must have been for a girl, maybe five or 745 00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 3: six years old. And you know, I pointed out, I said, listen, 746 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 3: there is nothing remotely humane or compassionate about it putting 747 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 3: a five or six year old girl in the custody 748 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 3: of human traffickers who daily brutalize little kids. And the 749 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:19,479 Speaker 3: Democrats now their only strategy is hide this. They don't 750 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 3: want the media to cover it because they cannot defend 751 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 3: what is happening. That's how bad it is, because the 752 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,280 Speaker 3: horror is undeniable. 753 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 5: Joe Biden is the criminal cartel's best friend. 754 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 2: Yes, I think that's a great way to end this, 755 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 2: because it's so important that people understand how bad it is, 756 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 2: and also that this, like you said, Joe Biden is 757 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 2: the cartel's best friend and has made them more money 758 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 2: than they could have ever imagined. 759 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: Brandon, good luck to you and your guys on the border. 760 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 2: I know you have to be demoralized by this, but 761 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 2: we appreciate all of your work that you and your 762 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 2: team are doing down there.
