The Great America Show - 500,000 ILLEGALS TO OVERRUN OUR BORDER

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and thanks, my friends, for joining us here on The Great

00:00:04.540 America Show. Today, we're talking with a congressman who sponsored more than 500 bills

00:00:10.360 in one day. How did he do that? And in doing that, how did he set up Congress to save the

00:00:17.420 taxpayers as much as a half trillion dollars? Our guest is Congressman Andy Biggs. He was the

00:00:24.560 driving force in the battle for the speakership of the 118th Congress, and he led the reformers

00:00:31.020 to victory. And he'll be telling us how it's going on the border as well. It's not going well for

00:00:37.580 Secretary of State Antony Blinken. We now know he was the point man on the infamous letter signed by

00:00:43.760 51 former intel veterans, including five former directors of the CIA and several of those officials

00:00:51.500 members of the Obama administration's intel group. James Clapper and John Brennan among them,

00:00:58.880 who declared Hunter Biden's laptop to be Russian disinformation, which was in itself disinformation.

00:01:06.500 They all were lying. And doing so, they elected Joe Biden. They not only lied, but in so doing,

00:01:14.060 changed history. Without a doubt, they were a principal factor in cheating Donald Trump

00:01:19.280 out of re-election as president. Top Republicans are calling for Blinken now to resign for his part

00:01:26.080 in the orchestration of that big lie, the disinformation campaign against the American

00:01:31.360 people and Donald Trump. And Congress must reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence

00:01:38.400 Surveillance Act. Or it will lapse. And that would end the authority for warrantless surveillance of

00:01:44.760 American citizens. We'll be taking that up here in moments as well. We'll take up that wide open 0.66

00:01:51.080 border and the possibility, indeed the probability, that Biden will have brought into the United States

00:01:57.800 by the time his term ends 10 million illegal immigrants. The southern border is wide open,

00:02:05.480 and why not? The cartels are making a fortune smuggling illegal immigrants, human smuggling,

00:02:11.660 deadly drugs like fentanyl, and sex trafficking. And making it all possible ever so easy is the

00:02:20.120 Biden regime's refusal to secure our border with Mexico, to shut down the cartels. Instead,

00:02:27.940 Biden is in league with the cartels. But the Marxist Dems lie about it all. Listen as they tell America

00:02:36.460 that our wide open southern border is secure. Here are the Marxist Dems in full-throated lies.

00:02:44.920 It is my testimony that the border is secure. We have a secure border in that that is a priority

00:02:54.120 for any nation, including ours and our administration. We have taken unprecedented action

00:02:59.260 over the past year and a half to secure our border. And we have a process in place to manage migrants 0.84

00:03:04.260 to the border. We're working to make sure it's safe and orderly and humane. The border is closed.

00:03:09.920 We agree that the border is secure. We're executing a comprehensive strategy to secure our borders.

00:03:15.800 One of our highest priorities is to ensure that we have a secure border. And that is what we are doing.

00:03:20.420 The border is secure. Joining us now is Congressman Andy Biggs. Biggs represents Arizona's 5th

00:03:28.300 district. He's in his fourth term. Biggs is a member of two powerful committees, the House Judiciary

00:03:34.540 Committee and House Oversight Committee. He's also the chair of the Judiciary Subcommittee

00:03:40.120 on Crime and Government Surveillance. It's great to have you back with us here on the Great America

00:03:45.720 Show, Congressman. You're making headlines of all sorts on a number of important issues and subjects.

00:03:51.340 Let's get to those incredible 521 bills you just sponsored in one day. Serious business in it all.

00:03:59.520 Tell us about it. Well, it's always great to be with you and you do such a great job. And I will just

00:04:07.600 tell you, one of the things that was driving me crazy is that we don't look at line item budget spending

00:04:18.200 here. And when you don't look at line item budget spending, guess what? That means that you really

00:04:23.740 don't ever have a chance at taking out mismanaged programs, duplicative programs, waste and fraud.

00:04:33.640 You really need line items. So what we did is we said, let us run a bill on as many of the lines

00:04:41.640 that we can find in discretionary spending. So we can point these out to the appropriators,

00:04:49.040 the people who sit on Appropriations Committee and my colleagues, that these are places that you could

00:04:54.500 eliminate or reduce spending to try to get us back down to where we don't spend, well, we don't have

00:05:01.700 deficit spending anymore. That was the goal. And that's really what I was trying to do. And so we found

00:05:07.340 500, 521 actually, to be exact. And we, I didn't know it was going to be such a monumental thing.

00:05:17.140 We thought we were just doing something that should be done. And my great staff worked long hours. And

00:05:23.260 between us, we found ways to find different programs, agencies, departments. You know,

00:05:28.620 there's more than 1,200 programs, departments and agencies that aren't even authorized that are

00:05:32.980 receiving about $500 billion a year to support those programs, agencies, and departments.

00:05:40.540 What's that number again? How much?

00:05:42.440 More than 1,200.

00:05:44.700 And total amount of money?

00:05:47.340 $500 billion.

00:05:49.400 My gosh, to go through that. Now, you've passed those bills, and this is effectively a legislative form

00:05:56.980 of the line item veto, isn't it? If you can get this passed and actually get the appropriators to

00:06:04.660 follow suit. What are your thoughts on that?

00:06:07.040 Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, we would be able to, if we had help from leadership and we got

00:06:13.720 out of the House and got through the Senate, guess what? The president would have to go through and

00:06:17.660 say, no, yes, no, yes, and would be ultimately responsible. This body would be responsible.

00:06:24.880 And this transparency to the American public would be remarkable. This is one of the things,

00:06:32.960 reasons that we did this.

00:06:35.000 Well, congratulations. The 118th Congress, Congressman, is showing me something, and I

00:06:42.860 think all Americans, you guys have done, I think, in many ways, more work in the first few months of

00:06:50.500 the 118th Congress that I've seen even efforted in previous Congresses. Am I overstating something?

00:07:00.340 No, I think you're right. The last time we had this kind of enthusiastic work ethic was probably

00:07:08.060 in 2017, right after President Trump was elected. Now, we were dealing with some leadership guys who

00:07:16.360 didn't really want to get as much done, but the body, the rank and file was working hard

00:07:20.780 trying to do everything from repeal Obamacare, although that was a joke, to trying to get a

00:07:28.660 good tax package, and we got a decent tax package out. So there was stuff going on. But this particular

00:07:34.960 Congress, everybody's come there, rolled up their sleeves, and has been working. Now,

00:07:41.200 we've debated and kicked each other around a little bit, but that's okay. That push-me-pull-you,

00:07:46.620 that tug-of-war that goes on internally. And I'm hopeful that as we continue to do, say,

00:07:55.240 the Oversight Committee work and the Judiciary Committee work on oversight, we're finding out

00:08:01.340 more and more stuff, Lou, and it's good to be with people who are anxious to work hard.

00:08:07.580 Yeah, always. And I don't care what you're doing, whether you're digging a ditch or

00:08:12.860 making laws for the American people or, you know, sitting at a microphone, working with people who

00:08:20.060 are enthusiastic about what everyone is doing makes all the difference in the world. And to be have,

00:08:24.900 to have, I personally, I can't imagine not being enthused and energized working in the Congress of

00:08:32.080 the United States, whether it's a staffer or a representative. But I have seen the fact that

00:08:38.700 there are people there who seem to be just taking up space and occasionally just breathe through their

00:08:43.920 teeth. It's, there are only a handful, but at least there are some. Your thoughts about,

00:08:52.360 if you will, let's digress just for a second. Going back to that Congress,

00:08:57.520 the previous Congresses and the leadership that didn't necessarily want to get anything done.

00:09:04.680 I have to say that battle that you had, the, the, the group from the Freedom Caucus,

00:09:12.260 the, the so-called 20 who stood up and said they were not going to do anything less than reform the

00:09:18.140 118th Congress before it's actually convened. What you guys established there was, you know,

00:09:24.160 wide open. It was a brouhaha, if you will. But it was, frankly, it was polite. It was energized and

00:09:32.500 energetic. And I think inspiring to most people who are watching it. And to hear you talk about

00:09:37.340 what's going on now with legislation in the 118th Congress, I say, hallelujah, and turn on the cameras

00:09:43.280 and let's see more of it. Because I think the American people need to see it because they're not

00:09:48.360 getting civics lessons from their high schools and their middle schools and their left wing

00:09:53.640 indoctrinators who are opposing as teachers. Your thoughts?

00:09:58.040 Lou, I agree with you a hundred percent. And one of our goals was to actually open up the process.

00:10:05.060 We wanted more transparency. You know, Gates did a bill to allow the C-SPAN cameras more access. We saw

00:10:13.300 some interesting angles the other night, but, but the reality is we've done some stuff that I had never

00:10:19.620 done in Congress. And that is to actually go down to the floor. A lot of people submitting amendments,

00:10:25.760 debating those amendments, and then taking a roll call vote on those amendments. That is exactly what

00:10:31.940 should be happening. And the American people should be able to turn that on anytime and see what bills,

00:10:38.660 what legislation is going on and, and determine whether they're getting adequate representation.

00:10:43.680 I think that's the only real concrete way to get people more involved in this is for them to hear

00:10:49.620 the representatives and say, either I don't like what my representative is doing, or I love what my

00:10:53.940 representative is doing and participate. That's what we were trying to do. And not only trying to do that

00:10:59.940 though, but also trying to make it the place more democratic from the inside. And I hate to use that

00:11:05.380 word democratic, but more open, if I can, you know, more Republican, diffuse power away from the center,

00:11:13.360 away from the leadership and get it to the members. And so you've got, we've got people on

00:11:18.900 committees that you've never seen conservatives really on before. You've got the promise of

00:11:24.740 appropriations doing 12 bills, which we hadn't seen in, I don't know how many decades, you know,

00:11:31.760 where you really have the 12 bills considered. All of those things were designed that we were

00:11:36.780 fighting for was designed to actually make the place resemble what I think the founders wanted.

00:11:43.720 And that was a more deliberative body where everybody has a say. And then at the end,

00:11:49.860 you would get a better product because you would, you would have a much more input. You'd get rid of

00:11:55.900 some of the bad stuff and, and try to get better product through instead of just lousy stuff.

00:12:02.280 Yeah. It's, it's interesting to me that there's this idea about the Congress that it doesn't have

00:12:10.400 to work. You're overcoming a great deal of inertia and outright indolence, I think, on the part of many

00:12:17.940 of the representatives in the house who've been there for a long time in particular. I think about

00:12:23.900 the Senate, maybe it's easier and more comfortable for you to talk about the Senate. But when I think

00:12:28.980 about those people being governed by this little squad of Thune and Barrasso and McConnell and,

00:12:36.540 and whomever else, I'm missing two or three of them. But I mean, these are the grand old men,

00:12:43.080 but they are old guys sitting there just hanging on like for dear life to their jobs and acting like

00:12:49.820 they've got all of the ideas, all of the smarts, all the knowledge. When in fact, there are nothing,

00:12:55.660 to me, they're nothing more than establishment hacks doing precisely what their donors have ordered

00:13:01.820 them up for. Your thoughts on that?

00:13:05.540 Yeah, I agree with you. I mean, look, after we got through that, a lot of people were highly

00:13:10.680 critical of me, as you might suppose. But once we got through there, Paul Ryan went on TV and actually

00:13:17.380 said, yeah, when I was Speaker of the House, I thought I had too much power.

00:13:22.300 Paul Ryan is as indolent and twisted up. He's not just crooked, he's twisted up.

00:13:29.720 I'm just saying to you, I can't even hear what even sounds like a vaguely complimentary remark about

00:13:39.180 him. He thought he needed it. You remember what else he said? He didn't want to be Speaker.

00:13:44.360 He had too much power. He had too much responsibility. He had way too much responsibility,

00:13:50.560 too much authority for anyone as mediocre as he is. He is the least talented Speaker in ages.

00:13:57.200 My gosh. Anyway, you know what? This is a great place to take a quick break. We're going to hear

00:14:05.420 from our sponsors, and we'll be right back. I'm talking with Andy Biggs, and we're talking about

00:14:10.580 Paul Ryan. Darn his hide. We'll be right back. We're back now. We're talking with Congressman Andy

00:14:17.880 Biggs. Congressman, it is great to be talking with you today. Appreciate your time. We were talking about

00:14:23.720 Paul Ryan. I was going to talk about him when you said his name. It's like putting a red flag in front

00:14:29.320 of him. Yeah, I know. Because the man did so much damage to the Republican Party. He is a fraud and a

00:14:35.880 fakester, and there's just nothing that will ever obviate his record as Speaker. It was a horrendous

00:14:43.900 moment in American history. Your thoughts? Yeah, look, I don't disagree. I cannot begin to tell you

00:14:50.500 how frustrated I was, and I know I've shared experiences with you before that I had with

00:14:55.640 him, but my point wasn't to say that he was a good Speaker. My point was to say at least somewhere,

00:15:02.400 somebody on the other side, no matter how disingenuous it may have been, understood that

00:15:09.280 he had too much power because the Speakership, the leadership has had too much power for decades,

00:15:15.760 and that means when you have somebody who doesn't really want to close the border wall,

00:15:21.420 he's going to sign your bill to seven committees. That's what he did to me on a border wall bill.

00:15:27.080 The point is, the leadership and their control, as you mentioned, by lobbyists,

00:15:34.800 it is just too, too powerful, and we were trying to break up that monopoly of power in Congress,

00:15:42.300 and that's really what the purpose was, and I think we kind of got there to a certain degree.

00:15:51.120 We have to watch the rest of it, Lou, to see how it plays out, the debt ceiling to budget and

00:15:56.960 everything, but I think we laid the groundwork to make change. Yeah, I grant you all of that,

00:16:02.400 and I understand, but take credit for what you've already done because what you've done is historic.

00:16:08.440 You have turned the direction of the legislative body, the House of Representatives, and that is

00:16:16.060 such a service to the nation. You know that, Congressman, as well, better than I do. We need

00:16:22.520 to talk about a couple of other issues, too, here. I got a kick out of something, and you sit on all

00:16:27.680 these important, powerful committees, you know, including judiciary, but FISA 702 is up for renewal,

00:16:34.820 and do you know what I just saw the other day? The NSA and FBI have reduced their number of

00:16:43.840 warrantless searches of Americans. They've dropped them from over 3 million down to 120,000 last year.

00:16:53.100 Do you think that's coincidental with the fact that Congress needs to renew the FISA Act?

00:16:58.960 It's not coincidental at all, and I don't even know that I believe that they've reduced it to 120,000.

00:17:05.840 I would, my guess is- I guarantee you, I don't believe them. I don't believe them for a minute

00:17:10.460 because they lie about everything else. Yeah, yeah, and you know what? Remember this,

00:17:16.160 the last time 702 was reauthorized, two weeks after that was reauthorized, that's when the

00:17:22.140 inspector general's report was released showing all of the fraud and the scam and everything that

00:17:29.300 was going on, the spying on American citizens through the abuse of the portions of the FISA Act.

00:17:37.480 And I just got to tell you, I view this with such skepticism, and it's odd because this may be,

00:17:44.860 and I said this in the hearing the other day, this may be the only place where we find true bipartisan

00:17:50.200 feelings and animation on a subject. Nadler, Jayapal, Lofgren, these very hard leftist Democrats,

00:18:01.960 Ro Khanna, they all agree with the conservatives that 702 should go away. And if we can't do away

00:18:09.960 with it because we got to deal with the neocons and the war hawks of the Democrats, then what we're

00:18:14.260 going to have to do is have an amazingly robust and strong set of reforms to try to take it out,

00:18:22.100 because I'm telling you, this program is being abused, has been abused, will continue to be

00:18:28.000 abused as long as you have secrecy, secret courts, and no real oversight.

00:18:33.780 And given that, all of the abuse, the fact that they were complicit in a plot to overthrow the

00:18:43.240 president of the United States to block his election, that they were then culpable in the

00:18:51.940 letter of 51 former intel officials who created a disinformation campaign against the American voters

00:19:02.400 by saying it was a disinformation campaign to suggest that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian

00:19:09.360 disinformation. I have to ask you, Congressman, under what pretext would any sitting representative

00:19:19.080 or senator not insist that the 702 section be stripped from the FISA, as well as 215, as far as

00:19:30.380 I'm concerned, get rid of it. By the way, I'll go all the way back to 1978. FISA should be eliminated

00:19:36.700 altogether. It is an un-American institution. It is run by corrupt and dastardly evil people, whether they're 0.93

00:19:46.820 in the Department of Justice, whether they're on the bench, or whether they are FBI agents or other members of the

00:19:52.920 intelligence community. Your thoughts?

00:19:56.200 Well, Lou, I would like to eliminate FISA altogether myself. I agree with you. I think it is un-American.

00:20:02.680 I think if you want to surveil an American citizen, then you need to go in with an affidavit to an Article III court 0.78

00:20:11.720 and present your case with a sworn statement and let the court just make the determination just like you would

00:20:20.520 on every other potential crime. That's what should happen. But for people who don't understand what we're

00:20:26.840 talking about necessarily, these FISA provisions allow massive amounts of data to be picked up.

00:20:37.080 And then if that includes American citizens having their information swept up and then looked at and

00:20:44.680 ostensibly, they're supposed to go, the FBI or whoever is supposed to go to a court and get a warrant

00:20:51.800 to search. But there's really no oversight there. There's no transparency there. And so it's been abused

00:20:59.020 incredibly. And I think they used it against a president of the United States.

00:21:04.860 Yes. Yes. Against a president of the United States. And there is there is there should be no Republican

00:21:12.940 in the House or the Senate who in the in their worst nightmares would think of ever renewing that 702

00:21:21.640 section. And I think every one of you should get rid of it. It's either we're going to be an American

00:21:27.640 government or we're going to continue with this corrupt, deep state alliance with Marxist Dems who are 0.58

00:21:34.200 turning the country toward the path to hell. Yeah, I agree with you. I just you know, just for your

00:21:42.680 listeners, though, I've already had people come up to tell me on our side of the aisle that they're not

00:21:49.440 going to they would never support a an elimination of 702 or the FISA at all. And and you know how they

00:21:58.280 pitched this, Lou, you know, they pitched this as as as without FISA, then we're going to be subject to

00:22:05.480 massive amounts of of international spying. That's that's how they sell it. We are anyway.

00:22:14.780 Well, yeah, well, that's I've got a question. OK, now I'm going to ask you who these geniuses are

00:22:20.920 who've walked up to you and said they're never will support the elimination of 702. I will ask you

00:22:27.940 that. But I want to say this first. Why don't you ask these geniuses how it is that the Chinese can 1.00

00:22:35.060 successfully run 100 Confucius Institutes in this country, run 3,500 front companies in this country,

00:22:45.260 how they can steal 600 billion dollars of intellectual property and American technology

00:22:52.840 each and every year. And they've disbanded the FBI task force that was supposed to be targeting those

00:22:59.660 people quite unsuccessfully, obviously. How can anyone even imagine that these people are not not only

00:23:09.720 corrupt, but they are directed away from interfering with the Chinese Communist Party and China and its

00:23:18.560 strategic interests? How do you ask them how it is we have a president who just drew down the strategic

00:23:24.940 petroleum reserves by 60 percent, the lowest level in 40 years just when we need oil that we've shipped

00:23:31.900 ammunition after ammunition and munitions to Ukraine, but now can't find a way to replace it. We have a

00:23:39.400 dire military readiness issue. We have a military that's woke, but it's utterly, utterly unconscious

00:23:47.940 when it comes to the threats of the CCP and Russia, Iran, and other state actors around the world.

00:23:56.200 This is a folly writ large, this Biden administration.

00:24:02.180 It's worse than a folly. It is calamitous and dangerous, not just the U.S., but the entire world,

00:24:07.800 because we are so weak and in such a precarious position that all the bad guys in the rest of the

00:24:14.260 world can take it out on us. And look, I've tried to have these conversations, but people kind of pat

00:24:22.720 me on the head and say, go away. You obviously don't know what's going on. And I rebut that by saying,

00:24:28.040 I think I have a pretty good idea what's going on in Northeast Asian security issues.

00:24:32.480 Well, I think you do, too. And I think that it's really important that your voice be heard by these

00:24:38.000 nincompoops who apparently are either colleagues or part of the permanent bureaucracy, the deep state

00:24:44.060 rejecting your views. I said I was going to ask you about who those folks were, these very bright folks

00:24:51.260 who said they'd never vote against the 702, Section 702 of the FISA Act. We're going to find out.

00:24:59.780 Well, I don't know if we'll find out, but I'm going to ask. I'm going to ask Congressman Andy Biggs who

00:25:07.440 those folks are when we return right after these quick messages from our sponsors. Stay with us.

00:25:13.540 The Great America Show continues in one moment. And we're back now with Congressman Andy Biggs.

00:25:21.520 Congressman Biggs is, I respect mildly, I think he's one of the finest, not only the finest

00:25:27.360 congressman in Washington, D.C., I think finest public servants. I've known him a long time,

00:25:32.800 and I can tell you what a great, great gift he is to the to the national interest in Washington

00:25:39.500 and a great representative for the people of his district in Arizona. Congressman, I said I was going

00:25:45.560 to ask you, and I hope you'll give us a few names of people who just can't bring themselves,

00:25:50.840 just can't bear to bring themselves to act in the national interest and get rid of 702. 1.00

00:25:59.180 Well, I don't want to give up the names because I am, you know, as cynical as I am,

00:26:07.440 I still believe as we produce more and more information, like we had another hearing last

00:26:11.580 week, as we produce more and more information, I can get some of those people to come around and

00:26:17.940 see things our way. And I don't want to burn them yet. There will be a time to burn them,

00:26:24.480 but it won't be until they irrevocably dig in so deeply that we don't have a shot at eliminating 702.

00:26:33.720 Well, let's talk about what you guys are learning. The House Investigations Committees are doing a

00:26:40.580 wonderful job. You all have done magnificent work for the people already. I was afraid you would not be

00:26:47.500 moving as fast, fast enough. I think right now you have picked up the pace, you and your colleagues,

00:26:54.920 the Jordan Committee, the Comer Committee, the Weaponization Committee, immigration.

00:27:02.140 You know, we're facing another surge at the border. You have been calling for a wall for years. You've

00:27:10.260 been calling for border security. Give us your sense of what it means when we have 24,000 people,

00:27:16.600 according to Governor Greg Abbott, crossing in two weeks into Texas alone from Venezuela for crying

00:27:23.340 out loud. Your sense of what's happening at that border. Okay, so that that 24,000 is just a drop

00:27:31.320 in the bucket of where we're going to get in about 10 days. There are probably at least a half a million

00:27:38.000 people waiting to come across when the cartel gives them the go-ahead after Title 42 goes away.

00:27:48.160 I will just tell you, let's just give you the straight skinny on this. I talked, my source tells

00:27:55.980 me that the Border Patrol agents are going to be overwhelmed. The detention facilities are going to

00:28:03.780 be even more overwhelmed. And what's going to happen is they're going to move to straight street

00:28:10.020 releases. And what a street release is going to be, that means that if, let's say, you lived in

00:28:15.460 Nogales, Arizona, or Yuma, Arizona, where you sit right on the border, you've got a sister city on the

00:28:20.920 other side. As people are coming in between the ports of entry, the CBP will have no place to put them.

00:28:28.540 They're going to do a minimal ID. So they're going to take a picture of somebody and whatever they

00:28:36.040 tell them their name is and their birth date, they're going to take that, put that in their

00:28:38.920 record. They're going to release them right into those border communities. That's what's going to

00:28:42.860 happen, Lou. That's what I've been told is going to happen. And that's just a tip of the iceberg

00:28:50.900 because down in the Darien Gap, the number of people coming through, and that's in Panama,

00:28:55.340 coming on up, has increased in the last month by over 500%. And so, Lou, you're going to see

00:29:04.800 not 2 million people illegally enter the country this year, plus another million, million and a half

00:29:12.020 getaway. You're going to see somewhere north of 3 to 3.5 million plus. So you're-

00:29:19.900 In what period of time?

00:29:22.480 That'll be the balance of this. That could be within six to seven more months. I'm taking the

00:29:28.760 whole fiscal year, but by and large, the bulk of that's going to come in the next six or seven

00:29:33.940 months. Why? Because Title 42 goes away and this administration says, oh, we're going to deal with

00:29:39.360 it by doing immediate deportation, immediate removal. That doesn't work because what happens

00:29:49.540 when you're going to put somebody out on immediate removal, all they have to say is, I request

00:29:54.200 asylum. They will then be allowed to be released into our country. We don't have enough places for 1.00

00:30:01.300 them. And right now, we're making big hay over 85,000 children misplaced by ORR. Well, guess what?

00:30:11.020 It's going to blossom. It's going to blow up like you can't believe.

00:30:15.380 So where are those 85,000 children? Why isn't this administration that took Trump to task

00:30:22.900 repeatedly for his policies, they've lost 85,000 children to sex traffickers for all we know

00:30:30.360 operating at that border. The Mexican drug cartels are not exactly an altruistic set of organizations.

00:30:38.400 They are smuggling death into this country every day. They're smuggling illegal immigrants, 1.00

00:30:43.800 human smuggling, sex trafficking, and by the way, working hand in hand with the Chinese communists. 0.78

00:30:50.920 Let's be straight up. And every American who dies is a pin in their board in the cartels and,

00:31:00.580 of course, in Beijing as well. And we've got people walking around saying they want the 702

00:31:05.740 when they don't even know what the hell is happening right in front of them. They don't need to eavesdrop

00:31:11.060 on anyone. They need to look at what is happening honestly and straightforwardly, and that is that

00:31:16.780 the Biden administration is working in total cooperative alignment with the Mexican drug

00:31:23.780 cartels. And this president is so compromised and impaired that he wouldn't dare cross President Xi

00:31:31.880 Jinping if his life and ours depended on it. Your thoughts?

00:31:36.600 Yeah, I agree with you 100%. We actually had a worker whistleblower come into my committee this week

00:31:43.880 and testify that the U.S. is the middleman for the logistics for sex and human traffickers, which we knew.

00:31:51.260 Lou, you and I have known this for a long time. And it's just trying to get enough momentum.

00:31:57.880 Again, the frustration I have. We've got a pretty strong border security bill that we're ready to roll

00:32:07.740 out. But there's some weak stuff in there because we've got some members, and you'll figure out who

00:32:13.800 they are, who are demanding that some of this be weakened a little bit. And I'm like, how can you

00:32:19.640 weaken this thing? Do you not know what's about to hit, what has been hitting us for two years?

00:32:23.920 And Lou, I'm just going to tell you, our national security is at peril. It is at peril. When you get

00:32:32.240 to start bringing in Venezuelans, the 24,000 in Texas, Lou, that almost eats up the full 30,000

00:32:41.940 allotment that Mayorkas was putting in place with his foreign nation strategy. So Nicaragua,

00:32:52.160 Haiti, Cuba, and Venezuela, they get up to 30,000 paroles a month just for those four countries.

00:33:00.480 And then you have another 30,000 paroles a month or so.

00:33:03.940 So I've got a question for you.

00:33:06.140 Yeah.

00:33:06.820 All of the oversight, everything in Congress, we don't know what our FBI is doing.

00:33:12.920 What we do know, it's corrupt. We don't know what the Department of Justice is doing. We don't

00:33:18.920 know, but it's corrupt in the instances where we have public knowledge. We don't know what the

00:33:24.940 Department of Homeland Security is doing, but we do know one thing. They're lying through their teeth

00:33:29.980 about everything, whether it's border security, whether it's cybersecurity, whether it's

00:33:34.140 infrastructure. We have a raid against the American people, an entire federal government

00:33:40.120 that doesn't give a damn about the American people, doesn't in any way even pretend it's

00:33:46.280 interested in national security, at least the national security of the United States

00:33:50.400 of America. At what point do we say to ourselves, we have a Senate that is in the pocket of the

00:33:57.220 Democrats and a Senate majority leader who is worse than most Democrats in most respects.

00:34:04.720 At what point do the American people just say the hell with this and just go about our business

00:34:10.720 and let what will be, be? I mean, we have patriots that are begging for leadership and for action,

00:34:20.060 and what we're being told is we have woke policies that really need to be at the priority in the

00:34:26.560 Department of Defense, says Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense, says Mark Milley, the Chairman of the

00:34:34.240 Joint Chiefs of Staff. We can't even get a ship for Marines. For our expeditionary,

00:34:40.380 units in the Pacific. We can't even get them on a ship, let alone train them. What the hell are you

00:34:46.900 people doing? You know, Lou, I agree with you. I mean, what has to, in my opinion, what has to

00:34:53.440 happen is you start, you have to dismantle and defund this government in so many ways. And that's

00:35:01.340 part of what those 500 bills that I introduced were, is to try to defund and dismantle as much

00:35:07.640 of this federal government that is arrayed against us in every institution. And as they come against

00:35:16.020 us, if we can stop funding them, then they will naturally shrink and shrivel. And maybe my colleagues

00:35:24.500 will join me in actually eliminating everything from the Department of Education. ATF is going after

00:35:32.620 people. I mean, the federal police state apparatus is after Americans. The border is a national security

00:35:41.960 threat. I beg my colleagues constantly, join me in defunding these agencies. Join me. And if you think

00:35:52.600 you got to have an FBI, tell me what you think is working. And then let's shrink the FBI down to that.

00:35:57.300 Don't give them a $3.5 billion to $4 billion new Taj Mahal. Don't do that. And it's, you know,

00:36:06.800 I'm straining at a nap, I guess. Well, I think that it'd be great if you guys can stop that $300

00:36:13.960 million boondoggle. Imagine that. Imagine $80 billion for $80,000 new IRS gun-toting

00:36:27.000 agents. This is obscene. And I guess, please come back soon, would you? There's so much to talk

00:36:35.300 with you about. And I appreciate everything. And let's start naming names, because the public needs

00:36:41.980 to know who are the enemies of this great country. There can be no more deals. There can be no hiding

00:36:50.580 in the shadows for these rhinos who mean this nation harm. They don't even mean to just be 0.99

00:37:00.300 protecting themselves in the shadows. They really want this country to be something other than it is

00:37:06.480 something other than the founders wanted it to be. Andy Biggs, you are a great American. You are a

00:37:13.340 delight to talk with. And you are a great, great public servant, as I said. Your final thoughts as we wrap

00:37:19.680 up here, if we may, Congressman. I would say never give up. We can't just go back and believe me,

00:37:26.380 I want to a lot. We got to keep fighting. Amen, brother. And keep fighting. You and I,

00:37:33.800 we need to remind each other of that once in a while. Yes, we do. Thanks so much. I appreciate

00:37:38.980 it, Congressman Andy Biggs, as I said, more than once, and because it needs to be said again,

00:37:45.580 a great American. Thank you, Congressman. Thanks so much. Congressman Andy Biggs,

00:37:51.140 great American, also one of the hardest working congressmen in the House. And join us here tomorrow,

00:37:57.020 our guest will be Mr. New York himself, Mark Simone. And this week, with artificial intelligence

00:38:02.300 exploding as a disruptor of just about everything, we'll be joined by our guest,

00:38:07.280 cognitive scientist James Burratt, talking about AI and its dangers. Thanks for being with us for now.

00:38:15.280 Thank you, God bless you, and America.
