The Great America Show - BIDEN SURRRENDERS BORDER TO CARTELS

00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to the Great America Show. Great to have you with us.

00:00:05.560 House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer producing evidence of corruption in the White

00:00:11.620 House. The chairman yesterday producing new evidence against the Biden crime family at his

00:00:17.180 press conference in Washington, D.C. Here is Congressman Comer. The committee has reviewed

00:00:22.800 thousands of bank records from individuals and companies affiliated with the Bidens and their

00:00:26.980 associates. It has received these bank records pursuant to four subpoenas I've issued

00:00:31.820 to different banks. These were targeted and specific subpoenas and each was different based

00:00:39.580 on the information we believed the banks possessed. Every one of those subpoenas returned valuable

00:00:45.460 information that had been unreported and that contributed to this committee's understanding

00:00:50.580 of how the Bidens conducted their businesses. The committee is concerned by the complicated,

00:00:58.260 suspicious network of over 20 companies. We have identified the Bidens and their associates

00:01:04.380 used to enrich themselves. Most of these companies were limited liability companies formed during

00:01:11.420 Joe Biden's vice presidency. The bank records show the Biden family, their associates, and their

00:01:17.540 companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals and their companies. Some of that money

00:01:26.700 came from a Chinese company and went to Hunter Biden's company. Other transfers occurred with the help

00:01:32.360 of Rob Walker, who then sent it on to different Biden family members. This is not how lawful businesses

00:01:39.860 operate. Chinese nationals affiliated with the Bidens created limited liability companies in the United

00:01:46.860 States and then in a short period of time transferred their interest to a Chinese company that sent money

00:01:53.140 to the Bidens. This is not normal. Hunter Biden and his associates courted business in countries that

00:02:01.360 correlated directly with Joe Biden's work as vice president. Instead of being honest with the

00:02:07.680 American people, President Biden has claimed since the 2020 election that his family has not received money

00:02:13.400 from China. That was a lie in 2020. And he continues to lie to the American people. Now, the Bidens have

00:02:22.700 received millions of dollars from China. It is inconceivable that the president did not know it.

00:02:31.140 The White House refuses to correct the president's statements, showing the president is now using the

00:02:35.780 federal government to run interference for his families and his own role in these schemes.

00:02:41.080 Among the details produced by the committee, bank documents showing the Biden family received a

00:02:48.020 million dollars from a Romanian felon named Gabriel Popoviciu. That man at the time under investigation

00:02:55.620 in Romania for corruption and bribery. He was later convicted. This all went on in the years 2014 through

00:03:03.480 2017. Comer says Hunter Biden created 20 LLCs that he used to funnel money to himself and his family

00:03:13.380 members. 15 of those 20 companies were created while Biden was serving as vice president. Romania is the

00:03:21.120 latest country you can add to the already troubling list of foreign nations in which Joe Biden sold American

00:03:27.660 policy decisions and influence for money while he was vice president. Among the other confirmed

00:03:34.600 countries, Russia, Ukraine and China. Other news of the day. At midnight this morning, the Title 42 law

00:03:42.940 expired and that means the Biden regime has unconditionally surrendered our border with Mexico to the drug

00:03:49.940 cartels. Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas yesterday at a press conference told all of us not to

00:03:58.120 believe our lying eyes. Despite what we're witnessing on the border this week, Mayorkas telling everyone that

00:04:05.100 the Mexican border is indeed not open, not for illegals, not for drugs, not for sex trafficking. Listen, if you will,

00:04:13.100 let me be clear. The lifting of the Title 42 public health order does not mean our border is open. In fact,

00:04:25.820 it is the contrary. Our use of our immigration enforcement authorities under Title 8 of the United States

00:04:32.940 Code means tougher consequences for people who cross the border illegally. Under Mayorkas' watch this week,

00:04:41.160 illegal immigration hitting a new record. 20,000 illegal immigrants crossing in just two days. And our

00:04:49.140 guest today says it won't get better soon. Certainly not with Joe Biden in the White House. Joining us now

00:04:55.600 is a great American. He's Mark Morgan, the former commissioner of the Customs and Border Protection under

00:05:01.820 President Trump. Mark, great to have you back with us on The Great America Show. You're on the border right

00:05:07.180 now in El Paso, Texas. Tell us, if you will, from your vantage point down there. What's going on?

00:05:13.880 Yes. First of all, as always, it's great to be with you. And thanks for having me on. Right now, you're right.

00:05:19.280 I'm on the I'm literally on the border. I feel like I'm really we're really in ground zero right now. And you and I

00:05:25.160 were talking in the green room. And, you know, right now there's a lot of talk about Title 42 as it should be.

00:05:30.120 And it's ending, which is going to happen tomorrow. And then what's going to happen? And there's been

00:05:35.320 some look, we should be focused on it's the right thing. But there's been some misinformation in the

00:05:40.540 way that they're portraying it like once Title 42 ends, then we're going to have a crisis. No, that's

00:05:46.760 just not true. We've already been in the worst self-inflicted, unmitigated catastrophe of a crisis

00:05:53.160 on our southwest border for the past two years. Once Title 42 ends tomorrow, I mean, the best way I can

00:05:58.180 describe it, it's going to it's going to take the persistent hurricane we've been going through

00:06:02.180 and turn it into a tsunami. And we're already seeing it. I'll give you an example. So the last

00:06:06.900 24 hours, Border Patrol alone, not total encounters, and it's only on the southwest border. Last 24 hours,

00:06:13.660 Lou, Border Patrol encountered over 10,000 illegal aliens in a 24 hour period. From being commissioner

00:06:20.620 chief and all the data I've seen, that's the highest single day counter I think that's ever been

00:06:25.920 recorded. And that's even before Title 42 actually drops tomorrow.

00:06:29.920 10,000 a day or about three and a half million a year. We know, and we know, perforce, your own

00:06:39.320 statements months and months ago, that we're looking at something like 5 million, as I recall,

00:06:45.580 5 million illegal immigrants in the first two years of the Biden presidency. Is that correct?

00:06:51.260 Yeah, it's actually more because the numbers have continued to skyrocket. So in the first 26 months,

00:06:59.580 there have been over, wait for this, over 6 million total encounters. And that includes those

00:07:05.840 that are illegally entering in between the points of entry and those that are coming to a port of

00:07:10.420 entry, and they're filing fraudulent claims. That's why what this department is doing, DHS is doing,

00:07:15.980 is a complete shell game. They're trying to legalize otherwise illegal activity, especially

00:07:21.980 with the CBP1 app. I mean, what they've done, Lou, is they've told illegal aliens from 171 countries,

00:07:28.540 if you stop illegally entering in between the ports and filing a fraudulent claim, we'll let you come

00:07:34.020 to a port of entry. We'll continue to look the other way as you file a fraudulent claim, and we'll

00:07:38.760 still process and release you in the United States. They've essentially just turned our entire

00:07:42.880 southwest border into one big port of entry. It doesn't matter how you enter, they're still just

00:07:47.260 going to process and release you. And when you say process, they're not going to have, as I understand

00:07:52.720 it, they're not going to have names, they're not going to have any medical information. Is that correct?

00:07:59.460 That's correct. And just think about this for a second, Lou, you're absolutely correct. If you're

00:08:04.100 from, let's say you're from Pakistan, or let's say you're from China, or let's say you're from

00:08:09.580 Venezuela, or Cuba, which, oh, by the way, they've apprehended illegal aliens from all those 0.63

00:08:13.840 countries. Again, 171 different countries. I mean, do you really think that in less than 12 hours

00:08:21.520 before the process is released, they're getting back to their home country, and Cuba is giving 0.97

00:08:27.200 the equivalent of an NCIC, a criminal history on the Cuban mail that they have in custody before

00:08:33.820 they release them? Of course not. It's not happening. Or Pakistan, or Afghanistan. I could go on,

00:08:39.220 171 different countries. Of course not. So there's no way to fully 100% vet the people

00:08:46.400 that they're being, the CBP is being forced to intentionally release. And Lou, we haven't even

00:08:52.160 talked about the guideways, because border tour resources are pulled off the line to process the

00:08:57.940 6 million total encounters. They're not on the front lines. There are some areas where 80 to 90%

00:09:04.280 of border tour resources are not on the front line. They're not doing the law enforcement or national

00:09:08.260 security mission. We've literally handed operational control over the cartels. First 26 months,

00:09:13.280 1.7 million total guideways. And that's an underestimate. 1.7 million total guideways.

00:09:21.720 Do we have a larger or smaller border patrol force than when you were commissioner?

00:09:27.400 Smaller. We're about 19,000 right now. And because they're having a hard time, their attrition rate

00:09:34.100 is skyrocketing. The max throughput to hire new agents at the academy is about 1,100.

00:09:40.100 Guess what they're losing per year? About 1,100.

00:09:42.840 Oh, my goodness. So this happening, there's a huge morale problem, obviously, with the border patrol.

00:09:50.380 And what are all those people doing? Because you talk about processing, but I don't even understand

00:09:55.580 why they're bothering to process, because there's no follow-through, there's no condition,

00:09:59.240 and there is no expectation that they'll actually show up anywhere for any kind of interview or

00:10:05.180 further paperwork to move forward. They're simply headed to the interior of the United States.

00:10:11.580 Thank you very much for the nice buses and private chartered aircraft that are distributing them all

00:10:19.620 over the country. Right?

00:10:21.560 Lou, you are 100% correct. And this is an element that we do not talk enough about. We talk about

00:10:29.140 what's happening on the physical border. Again, I got it for obvious reasons, but we do not talk

00:10:34.360 enough about what happens after they're released. And you're absolutely correct. Here's why they keep

00:10:40.640 coming. I always say, you don't have to be a border security expert. I know you know this. We've talked a

00:10:44.920 lot about this. But if you tell the entire world that if you come to our border, whether you come

00:10:49.860 to a lawful point of victory or not, it doesn't matter. We're going to process and release you

00:10:53.640 in the interior of the United States. And then you're going to be free from deportation.

00:10:58.940 Then, of course, they're going to come. That's what this administration is doing right now.

00:11:02.780 So they come illegally, file claims. It doesn't matter. They're processed and released. And then

00:11:07.400 they're never removed. This Secretary of Homeland Security, Secretary of America, which I think he's

00:11:11.820 the most dangerous man in this administration, he has said that being in a country here illegally

00:11:16.740 is not enough to remove you. It's a controversy of the law. He's actually violating the very law

00:11:23.180 and the oath that he took to enforce by saying, no, if you're illegally, I'm not going to deport you.

00:11:28.860 It's absurd. It's absurd. It's tragic. And it is dangerous. Make no mistake about it, folks.

00:11:36.960 We're talking with Mark Morgan, former commissioner of the Customs and Border Patrol,

00:11:40.940 talking to us from El Paso, Texas, on the border, ground zero, and what promises to be now a surge

00:11:49.260 that will rise to the level of, I'll use your word, Mark, a tsunami. We're going to continue

00:11:54.660 with Mark Morgan right after these words. Please stay with us. We're coming right back.

00:12:00.380 We're back now talking with Mark Morgan. Mark, we're talking about this just extraordinary

00:12:06.300 flood, invasion, if you will. An invasion, if you will, by any other name, this is an invasion.

00:12:14.560 $10,000 a day right now to grow to who knows what. What happened to Immigration and Customs

00:12:21.260 Enforcement? All of these illegals are being sent into the taxpayer expense to various locations in 0.98

00:12:29.440 the interior of the United States. That's where ICE lives. They were supposed to be the internal,

00:12:35.800 the domestic interior police force. Where are they? And are they doing anything at all?

00:12:44.600 They've been completely neutered. And let me address the first point, which is a very important part.

00:12:49.820 Again, we don't talk enough about once they're released and then they become a burden on the

00:12:53.980 U.S. taxpayer. That's exactly right. FAIR, the Federation of American Immigration Reform,

00:12:58.580 just did a recent study a couple months ago, and they estimated, I think it's conservative,

00:13:02.900 that illegal aliens cost taxpayers $180 billion every year. $180 billion. That's for health care, 1.00

00:13:11.840 education, costs associated with the criminal prosecutions. The list goes on and on, Lou. $180

00:13:18.220 billion. Now, to your point about ICE, again, I don't think we talked enough about it. Interior

00:13:22.560 enforcement. ICE has been completely gutted. DHS Secretary Mayorkas has put out several

00:13:28.340 memos. We call them priority memos. And in essence, what it says is that if you come here illegally and 0.85

00:13:36.120 you remain here in the country illegally, you are not a priority unless you've done something 1.00

00:13:42.080 egregious, unless you're a known or suspected terrorist, or you've been convicted of a very

00:13:48.060 narrow category of aggravated felonies. That's it. Other than that, you're free to stay. And so it's

00:13:54.580 very clear he's given the marching orders to ICE. You are not to go after people that are here illegally

00:14:00.280 and remove them. Stop doing your statutory mandated job. He's actually telling the men and women that 0.98

00:14:06.300 statute, as you just described, to not do their job. In addition to that, he's also put out a restrictions

00:14:12.060 memo that says, you ICE cannot, they are forbid to go after illegal aliens in certain settings, like

00:14:19.200 parades, churches, social settings, you know, like anywhere like a human would, I don't know, conduct

00:14:26.620 life. He basically says, nope, can't do it. So ICE, again, has essentially been completely neutered from

00:14:33.680 doing their job. So President Biden is ruling as a is without any qualification. Everything he's doing is

00:14:42.500 unilateral. None of it confirmed or validated or approved by the Congress, the Senate. This is right now not a

00:14:52.040 constitutional republic. Laws are not being enforced. Laws are being violated wholesale. And this administration is doing

00:14:59.220 nothing about it. And is opened a 2000 mile border to to illegal immigrants from, as you said, 171 countries. This is why? I

00:15:12.200 guess I have to ask it this way. You're in El Paso. Are the people of El Paso upset about this? Because these people are

00:15:18.720 flooding through their streets, their their playgrounds, their parks. What what is the sense you get there?

00:15:25.940 Yeah. So yes and no. Right. If you talk to somebody that's not infused with ideology or politics, yes, then they are upset because they see the damage and destruction that's happening.

00:15:38.360 And I think and I know, again, we talked about this before. And again, this what's happened. Border doesn't just impact border states. I mean, again, let's go to just a 1.7 million gotaways.

00:15:48.200 We know that there are murderers, rapists, pedophiles, aggravated felons and gang members.

00:15:51.660 We know there are potential national security threats on the FBI's terror screening database, and they don't stay in Brownsville.

00:15:57.540 They don't stay in El Paso or they make their way to every town, city and state in this country.

00:16:01.880 And so I think if you're able to set aside your ideology in politics, then you're going to be honest.

00:16:08.540 But I think this administration, I've served in six administrations, both Republican, Democrat.

00:16:12.760 I've never seen an administration that purposely fueled this unbridled convergence of both ideology and politics.

00:16:21.020 And I think it's resulted in some of the most disastrous anti-American policies you've ever seen.

00:16:26.480 I think the border is just the beginning. But look, you're absolutely right.

00:16:29.160 They're they're intentionally not following the law.

00:16:31.720 What they're doing right now, some of the policies, it's actually a perversion of the law.

00:16:35.200 Secretary Mayorkas is making up new definitions. He's defying the law and creating new law and he's created new mission sets with the Border Patrol.

00:16:43.060 They're no longer an enforcement agency. They're a processing enterprise.

00:16:46.480 That's not in their statutory mission, but they don't care.

00:16:49.320 And that's why we also say that really the states, it's up to them.

00:16:52.620 It's not fair. It's not right. But to secure a border, the states now really have become a last line of defense.

00:16:57.500 President Biden has surrendered U.S. territory to the cartels.

00:17:03.580 He has surrendered a 2,000 mile border to the cartels because in every vacuum there will be a replacement.

00:17:10.360 And that replacement, the absence of the Border Patrol, ice in the interior, it's definitely going to be the cartels.

00:17:18.120 We're watching this country right now.

00:17:20.780 It is just it's just seeping through that southern border.

00:17:25.140 We're being drained of our sovereignty and the rule of law and order.

00:17:30.920 There's no public outcry.

00:17:33.160 The country seems to have been so disheartened.

00:17:35.720 It's lost its courage and its sense of responsibility to preserve this republic.

00:17:43.180 Your thoughts about the apathy and what you expect to be the end result of what is this extraordinary illegal immigration into the United States now and through the rest of this year.

00:17:59.740 First, Lou, I'll tell you, I just wrote something down.

00:18:01.460 You said I'm going to steal it because you're absolutely right.

00:18:03.500 I think it's absolutely the best way to say it, that because of this administration's open border policies, we have surrendered large areas that are boarded to the cartels.

00:18:13.240 That is a factual statement, Lou, that you're absolutely correct.

00:18:16.720 And I'm actually going to steal that going forward because that's exactly what's happened.

00:18:19.660 But when you when you when your policies create the tsunami, this invasion of illegal aliens, again, that forces everything that you do to just focus on that, that becomes your total focus.

00:18:33.140 So the law enforcement mission just goes by the wayside and all they're doing now is care and feeding and releasing the illegal aliens, literally leaving the large area of the border, unpatrolled, unmanned, unsecured.

00:18:45.560 And you have literally surrendered large areas over to the cartels.

00:18:49.060 I call it you provide them operational control.

00:18:52.700 And that's why that's how they get drugs across criminals and potential national security threats.

00:18:57.120 And at the end of the day, this is unsustainable.

00:18:59.320 We can't do this.

00:19:00.080 That's why I thought this isn't about a humanitarian crisis.

00:19:03.720 This is a constitutional crisis.

00:19:05.900 This is a national security crisis.

00:19:08.040 And here's what I'm afraid of, Lou, is I'm afraid that to wake Americans up in this country, that it's going to take a massive, large scale terrorist attack by terrorists coming across our wide open southwest border before anybody gives a damn.

00:19:22.240 And those terrorists arguably are already here.

00:19:26.020 There is a reason that young, working age males are coming across in preponderance. 1.00

00:19:34.940 Most nearly all of these so-called refugees and illegal immigrants are male.

00:19:40.900 They're not families.

00:19:42.180 They're not women coming across, except for the few unfortunate enough to be trafficked across that border. 1.00

00:19:50.060 It's a national shame.

00:19:52.600 It truly is.

00:19:53.980 We're going to take a quick break.

00:19:56.120 We'll be right back.

00:19:58.000 We're back with Mark Morgan, who is the former commissioner of the Customs and Border Protection and responsible for that border for a number of years.

00:20:08.200 Let's go to these young males who are coming across.

00:20:12.480 My wife and I, at various times on the road, have seen these buses come up, unloaded, a truck stop, and off comes, in perfect file, young male Hispanics who are going into the cafe or to the restrooms, whatever it may be.

00:20:30.160 But they're not families.

00:20:31.360 These are not family units.

00:20:34.560 These are, if you will, young males who would be of, I'll put it this way, military age.

00:20:44.660 Absolutely.

00:20:45.320 In fact, before you said military age, I was going to say it.

00:20:47.500 That's right.

00:20:47.820 That's an accurate way to describe that.

00:20:49.960 Let's keep this in mind.

00:20:50.920 Here's what's happening.

00:20:51.540 So right now, we've got about a 50-50 percent, give or take a couple percentage points, of family units and unaccompanied minors and then single adults, about a 50-50 split.

00:21:01.400 That is beyond concerning.

00:21:04.880 Here's why.

00:21:05.740 Here's why we're seeing this massive uptick in single adults is because this administration, traditionally, single adults were the ones we would detain and remove.

00:21:15.040 Even if they claim asylum, a single male, you were going to be detained while you were going through your immigration proceeding, or the majority of them, we just removed.

00:21:23.780 That hasn't been happening, Lou.

00:21:25.260 This administration hasn't been just releasing family units and unaccompanied minors in the United States.

00:21:30.060 They've been releasing single adults, and they've been using parole.

00:21:34.720 I mean they've been doing this in violation of many different laws.

00:21:37.940 But that's why we're seeing this influx of single adults.

00:21:41.540 And again, like we said, you have a single adult from Cuba.

00:21:46.620 Do you think we're getting any biographical information about that individual from Cuba?

00:21:51.860 Of course not.

00:21:53.160 So we're releasing a single adult male of military age from a country like Cuba, and we know zero about him.

00:22:00.280 We don't know if he's a gang member.

00:22:01.700 We don't know if he's been convicted of a felony in Cuba.

00:22:04.520 We know zero, and we're releasing him.

00:22:06.260 And to footstomp Lou on something you said about the next terrorist attack, it's not hyperbolic what you said.

00:22:12.160 Again, backdrop, 1.7 million total gotaways, 1.7 million that have gotten past us.

00:22:18.560 Well, at the same 26 months, Border Patrol has encountered a couple of hundred of illegal aliens on the FBI's terror screening database.

00:22:26.480 That's who they've apprehended.

00:22:28.200 Think about how many are among the 1.7 million gotaways that are on the FBI's terror screening database.

00:22:34.800 It is legit, it's not hyperbolic to say we literally could have the next sleeper cell planning the next large-scale terrorist attack in our country, and we would have no idea because of our wide-open borders.

00:22:46.800 And meanwhile, we are watching ATF, I'll call it Tobacco Firearms.

00:22:53.020 That agency is being turned into a first-response agency.

00:22:57.140 We are watching the same thing happen with the FBI.

00:23:00.300 Suddenly, they've got to be on the scene of a crime immediately.

00:23:02.980 There's been a whole shift on the part of the federal government toward making these agencies, federal police agencies, and first responders, hasn't there?

00:23:14.920 Well, so one great word that you use, reaction, right?

00:23:18.860 Reactive.

00:23:19.900 And, I mean, it's literally like, you know, our country is not studying history, so we don't repeat it.

00:23:26.560 9-11, we went from after 9-11, rightfully so, we went nationally across from all our law enforcement entities, both state, local, and federal.

00:23:35.780 We went from a reactive law enforcement to a preventative, proactive national security approach, right?

00:23:42.300 So instead of just getting better at reacting to the crisis, right, shouldn't we get better at proactively preventing the crisis?

00:23:50.180 So, Lou, you're absolutely right.

00:23:51.440 I feel like we're going backwards, and we're just getting better at reacting rather than preventing it.

00:23:55.900 And, again, back to the border.

00:23:57.180 That's all that's happening.

00:23:58.260 We're reacting.

00:23:59.360 We're managing the crisis after it's already happened rather than preventively, proactively stopping the crisis from happening.

00:24:07.500 And that's exactly what's happening on our border.

00:24:08.860 This administration, they're not doing anything to lay down a strategy that we did on the Trump administration of deterrence, consequences, integrity.

00:24:16.360 They're doing nothing to secure the border.

00:24:17.720 They're simply facilitating it and releasing as fast as human possible.

00:24:21.760 They're reacting to it rather than preventing it.

00:24:24.740 As those folks flood across, and I'm going back to the outset of our discussion, how many, we're talking about 10,000 now under the current crisis, how bad do you think it will get?

00:24:38.380 How incremental, how large an incremental surge are we going to see in your judgment?

00:24:45.220 So that's a good question.

00:24:46.180 It's all over the place.

00:24:47.040 I've got multiple sources.

00:24:48.940 There's varying different degrees of intel.

00:24:51.120 We know there are thousands in Mexico standing by in makeshift camps and stuff ready to come by.

00:24:56.680 We know they've already done it.

00:24:57.860 There's a station, RGV, that I just got information that they had over 2,000 rush a single area on the border to illegally enter.

00:25:06.660 So we're going to see an increase.

00:25:09.240 I don't think we're going to see, you know, I think early on last year they were talking about 16,000, 17,000 a day.

00:25:17.260 I'm not sure we're going to see those numbers.

00:25:18.860 And I'm not sure how long it's going to be sustained.

00:25:21.720 I mean, because here's what's going to happen.

00:25:23.700 Once Title 42 goes away, they're going to continue to remove people.

00:25:26.780 They're just not going to use Title 42.

00:25:28.260 They're going to use what's called Title 8 expedited removal.

00:25:30.700 And so to some degree, the cartels are lying to some people saying, hey, they're going to let everybody in.

00:25:35.920 That's not necessarily true.

00:25:37.820 And so when they kind of realize, no, they're not letting in everybody, they're still removing, like, for example, single adult Mexican males, you'll probably see that go back down a little bit.

00:25:48.840 But keep in mind, Lou, I mean, even if we see this surge and we don't know how long it will be sustained, even if it goes back down, what's it going to go back down to, 6,000 a day?

00:25:58.080 I mean, it's still a crisis, right?

00:26:01.300 I mean, remember, Jay Johnson, the former DHS Secretary, Donald Obama, said 1,000 a day was a bad day.

00:26:07.960 We've been at 6,000, 7,000 for the past 25 months.

00:26:11.360 Yeah, it's unbelievable what's happening at that border.

00:26:15.240 And it's unbelievable the lack of a response by the American public.

00:26:19.860 Folks, you know, I've just got to say to everybody listening, I never thought we'd see a day in this country where there was no reaction.

00:26:28.080 No outrage, no response on the part of the American people to a surge.

00:26:35.460 I mean, we're talking about three to five million people a year entering this country illegally at the behest of a puppet, an impaired puppet president. 0.87

00:26:46.020 And there is no reaction from the leadership of the Republican Party.

00:26:50.060 There's none from, if you will, the grassroots that is the citizenry of this great nation.

00:26:56.060 Your thoughts, Mark?

00:26:57.140 But, Lou, again, I could have said better myself.

00:27:00.180 I'll give you an example, a real-world example just a few days ago.

00:27:03.260 We had an individual that was in the country illegally, multiple reentries, living a life of luxury illegally because he knows under this administration he can now roam openly because being in a country illegally is not enough to remove you.

00:27:17.600 And he fucking murders and assassinates five people, including the nine-year-old girl.

00:27:22.760 And where is the country, Lou?

00:27:25.560 How is every American citizen not outraged and say, this is crazy?

00:27:31.140 We can be for legal immigration, but we can't be for illegal immigration and unsecure borders because that is what we get. 0.97

00:27:38.760 I don't get it.

00:27:39.840 We're doing something wrong.

00:27:41.960 We're not messaging a right to the American people in Missouri or Vermont or wherever why it matters to them, why what happens to our border doesn't stay there, why it jeopardizes the safety and security of every single state in our country.

00:27:55.140 We're failing to get the message out.

00:27:58.140 Last question.

00:28:00.320 China is working, we know, with the cartels to manufacture fentanyl.

00:28:05.660 They have their chemists here.

00:28:07.400 They have support forces here in Mexico to create, to manufacture it, and then distribute it across the border.

00:28:17.260 Fentanyl, over 100,000 people killed, 100,000 Americans every year, and not a peep from the DEA.

00:28:24.060 Do any of these agencies do anything anymore?

00:28:28.380 I'm just curious.

00:28:30.740 Well, so I'm still partial.

00:28:32.400 And you know, Lou, I spent 20 years in the FBI.

00:28:34.280 I worked with the DEA a lot, so I'm still partial to the rank and file, and they're trying.

00:28:37.600 But again, it goes back to the leadership.

00:28:39.860 As long as we continue to go through and act the traditional criminal prosecutorial approach going after the cartels, we will continue to fail just like we have for decades.

00:28:50.360 We cannot go after the cartels like we do the mafia.

00:28:53.340 It worked for the mafia domestically.

00:28:55.340 It has failed for the cartels.

00:28:57.000 But that's what they're doing.

00:28:57.980 It's still a criminal enterprise theory investigation.

00:29:00.300 We go through the courts.

00:29:01.340 We're reacting after the crime has happened.

00:29:03.440 No, we have to stop that.

00:29:04.640 We have to take the fight to the cartels to defeat them.

00:29:07.140 We know the government of Mexico, they don't have the political will, and now they don't have the capability to go it alone against the cartels.

00:29:13.280 We need to use the same whole-of-government approach and commitment and resources that we go after terrorist organization.

00:29:20.600 In my opinion, that includes the use of military force.

00:29:23.460 Now, it needs to be surgical and precision, and hopefully with the cooperation of Mexico.

00:29:27.780 But last time I checked, we don't need the cooperation of a country to go and defeat an enemy that's jeopardizing every aspect of our nation's safety, health, and national security.

00:29:37.020 And we're going to have to wait until after the next presidential election to have any hope of that occurring, don't you think?

00:29:44.620 Your concluding thoughts here, if you will, Mark.

00:29:47.080 We always give our guests the last word.

00:29:49.640 I just hope that when people are listening here, they take a few minutes to set aside their ideology, set aside their politics, just do a few minutes of research, get the truth and the facts.

00:29:59.680 Because I truly believe if every American citizen understood the death and destruction that's happened at our southwest border and how it impacts our entire country's safety, national security, everybody would be up for a strong border.

00:30:12.000 And guess what?

00:30:12.840 It's not just about Americans dying, as you described, but also migrants.

00:30:16.360 There have been more dead migrants found under this administration, an increase in human trafficking due to this administration's policies.

00:30:22.260 So when we secure our border, American lives are saved, and so are the lives of migrants. 0.99
