Transcript

00:00:00.000 you you
00:05:45.000 guys welcome to another huge episode of We're going to be joined today by Mark Morgan.
00:06:15.000 Mark served as the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as well as the Acting Director of ICE. He's also a former FBI agent, a Marine veteran, and the border is getting even worse.
00:06:30.000 We're seeing records Day in and day out.
00:06:33.000 At this point, it's an invasion, folks.
00:06:36.000 If 10,000 Russians crossing the Ukrainian border is an invasion, millions at our border somehow magically isn't.
00:06:45.000 At this point, it's just an open invitation from Biden to destroy our country.
00:06:50.000 We understand exactly what they're trying to do, which is why there's no interest in the Democrats in actually solving the problem.
00:06:59.000 So Mark's going to be the perfect guest to break it all down.
00:07:03.000 So make sure you guys are liking, sharing, subscribing so that you never miss one of these episodes.
00:07:10.000 We're up against so much.
00:07:11.000 We're combating the fake news.
00:07:12.000 We're combating the mainstream media.
00:07:14.000 We're combating big tech.
00:07:16.000 And none of them are doing a single thing to get the real narrative out.
00:07:21.000 So it's you guys that make all of that possible.
00:07:24.000 So again, it's not that much to ask and it's not that hard.
00:07:26.000 Just like. Right now.
00:07:28.000 Share it. Subscribe.
00:07:29.000 Download the Rumble app so we can actually fight back.
00:07:33.000 You guys make that all possible.
00:07:35.000 But before we get to Mark, I want to get to a quick rundown of the major headlines of the day.
00:07:42.000 Because, candidly, the Democrats' election interference continues.
00:07:45.000 And it's getting more and more obvious every single day.
00:07:51.000 At this point, it's ridiculous.
00:07:53.000 And we all see it.
00:07:55.000 But honestly, that doesn't seem to matter anymore, which is really scary and should be scary to anyone who's been paying attention.
00:08:02.000 My father was in court today in New York for the ridiculous civil case against him, myself, my brother, the Trump Organization, all put together by New York State Attorney General Letitia James.
00:08:16.000 James campaigned on going after my father.
00:08:20.000 That's how she propelled herself into the Attorney General's office.
00:08:23.000 He was guilty before she'd ever seen any evidence, before she had any power to.
00:08:28.000 She even said she was going to sue his ass off.
00:08:34.000 This is exactly what you think it is, folks.
00:08:37.000 Joe Biden is losing in the polls.
00:08:40.000 So the Democrats are using every means possible to stop Trump.
00:08:46.000 Letitia James is being assisted by the liberal judge assigned to this case.
00:08:53.000 The judge, Arthur Ngoron, made an absurd ruling last week in which he said that it's fraudulent to say that Mar-a-Lago is worth $18 million, because that's the price he put on it, even though there's experts that say it's worth up to 50, 60, 70, 80 times that.
00:09:15.000 Nguron, by the way, is a lifelong Democrat donor, which should shock all of you folks.
00:09:20.000 It should shock all of us at this point that we'd have partisan judges.
00:09:25.000 Choosing venues, picking the worst people, not allowing it to go to a commercial division where someone may actually understand something about how real estate works.
00:09:33.000 You know, little things like that.
00:09:35.000 Here he is today, smiling for the cameras, folks.
00:09:40.000 Check it out. Yeah, guys, it's all a big joke.
00:09:52.000 It's a joke to them.
00:09:54.000 Molly Hemingway put it well in a tweet when she said, the lengths Democrats are willing to go to destroy the Republic and the rule of law over this seething and obsessive hatred of one man and his supporters.
00:10:08.000 It's terrifying to contemplate.
00:10:13.000 It's been a long day, folks.
00:10:14.000 But she's right.
00:10:16.000 It is. This is his 15 minutes.
00:10:18.000 He's going to take down Trump.
00:10:20.000 He can be the next Fauci that will be put on the cover of every liberal magazine across the country and made a hero.
00:10:26.000 The rule of law be damned, folks.
00:10:30.000 Meanwhile, Democrats are sounding the alarm.
00:10:33.000 Not about their own corruption, because that's...
00:10:36.000 That's pretty obvious, and it seems that every time they go after Trump it happens to be about six or seven hours after major claims against Joe Biden and the most corrupt family in the history of U.S. politics.
00:10:47.000 But they're literally now sounding fire alarms.
00:10:53.000 New York Democrat Congressman Jamal Bowman pulled the fire alarm in a House office building on Saturday in what was an apparent attempt to delay a vote.
00:11:05.000 This would be a crime, folks, specifically the crime of obstructing an official proceeding.
00:11:11.000 You can't scream fire in a crowded theater.
00:11:15.000 That's something the DOJ has charged 320 times in its January 6th investigation.
00:11:24.000 It's also illegal to pull a firearm with malicious intent.
00:11:29.000 So how is it that nothing seems to be happening to Bowman, and yet there are people that have been locked away for years without due process?
00:11:38.000 If we did actually have some fairness under our rules, if we didn't in fact live in a two-tiered system of justice, each and every January 6th individual Who committed a non-violent offense would be released with an apology, with back compensation, or they'd put Bowman in jail for the same period of time.
00:12:05.000 But I have a feeling neither of those things are going to happen.
00:12:10.000 There's a picture of Bowman pulling the fire alarm, and he's admitted it was him.
00:12:16.000 There's also been a wanted poster released of Bowman, and of course he hasn't been charged of any crimes.
00:12:24.000 Why is that, folks?
00:12:26.000 Well, Bowman is essentially pleading incompetence.
00:12:30.000 He said he didn't know what he was doing, which does not surprise me.
00:12:34.000 But it either means he's an imbecile and should not be representing anyone in Congress, or he's lying.
00:12:42.000 Perhaps both.
00:12:44.000 In all fairness, it's probably both.
00:12:46.000 Okay? Bowman worked in a public school in New York for years.
00:12:52.000 I imagine he knows what a fire alarm is.
00:12:55.000 But the mainstream media, the press, and big tech, all of the same institutions that we are up against, folks, on a daily basis, we'll cover them.
00:13:03.000 No, no, no. He pulled the fire alarm to open the door.
00:13:07.000 Whatever excuse they can do.
00:13:10.000 But a grandmother taking a selfie behind the velvet ropes on January 6th, harassed by our Justice Department and FBI for years, broken, you know, that's all fine.
00:13:22.000 Bowman said in a statement, I am embarrassed to admit that I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking that it would open the door.
00:13:29.000 I regret this and sincerely apologize for any confusion this caused.
00:13:33.000 No, no, no. He's sorry that he got caught.
00:13:37.000 Didn't matter. It can try to delay it.
00:13:39.000 This is all clearly a lie.
00:13:42.000 Bowman, as I said, is a former school principal, which means he had to do fire drills on more than one occasion.
00:13:49.000 He knows exactly what a fire alarm looks like and what happens when you pull it.
00:13:54.000 There's nothing confusing about a bright red box that says fire.
00:14:02.000 But, what's worse?
00:14:04.000 If Bowman is lying or telling the truth that he doesn't know that pulling an alarm would trigger a fire alarm.
00:14:11.000 I mean, pulling a fire alarm?
00:14:13.000 I had no idea, folks, that it would trigger, you know, a fire alarm.
00:14:19.000 Maybe, maybe, honestly, guys, maybe it's best to actually believe Congressman Bowman.
00:14:25.000 Do the Democrats... Really?
00:14:28.000 Have a congressman or senators that can't speak up, that can't read?
00:14:34.000 I mean, based on some of the legislation they passed, based on some of the things that come out of, I don't know, AOC's mouth, it would not actually surprise me, but I do believe the American people deserve better.
00:14:46.000 Do we believe Jamal Bowman?
00:14:48.000 He's just too stupid to understand a fire alarm, starts a fire alarm?
00:14:55.000 You can't make it up anymore, folks.
00:14:57.000 But again, because they'll get away with it, nothing's ever going to change.
00:15:02.000 Again, same rules apply to the January 6 people.
00:15:06.000 Nonviolent offenders in jail for years, broken, legal battles destroying their financial well-being.
00:15:15.000 And meanwhile, one of the newest Democrats in Congress isn't elected and probably wasn't picked for her merits.
00:15:23.000 This should not surprise anyone, but California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Monday that he will be appointing liberal activist and labor organizer LaFonza Butler to fill California's vacant Senate seat.
00:15:35.000 You know, he made the promise a while ago that he was going to appoint an African American woman if that happens.
00:15:42.000 Remarkable thing, though, is that Butler doesn't even live in California.
00:15:46.000 She lives in Maryland, as on her registrations.
00:15:50.000 So she has to register in California.
00:15:53.000 This is like the most Democrat thing ever, right?
00:15:56.000 It's not like there's not, I don't know what, 43 million people in California, right?
00:16:02.000 I mean, how many of them are women of color that could have been chose?
00:16:05.000 But no, no, no. We have to find a Beltway Democrat, the most radical of the radical that doesn't even live in California, because one of those 43 million actual Californians clearly cannot represent the extreme positions of today's radical left as well as a Beltway pundit.
00:16:28.000 It's not like there's A shortage, folks.
00:16:32.000 But on the bright side, at least Adam Schiff didn't get the job.
00:16:36.000 Adam Bull Schiff, as many of you refer to him, or Adam Full of Schiff, congressman who's been salivating over that seat for years, he's not going to get it now because of her.
00:16:49.000 And honestly, because of how bad he is, because of how willing he was able to break the laws of our country and weaponize his position as the head of the Intel Committee of the House, I almost don't care how bad she is if it stops him from getting the power that he wants.
00:17:07.000 And guys, speaking of power, Joe Biden did an interview this weekend in which he complained that the government can't censor information on the internet.
00:17:17.000 Watch for yourself. What about what Elon Musk has done to Twitter, lowering guardrails against misinformation?
00:17:24.000 Does that contribute to it?
00:17:26.000 Yeah, it does. Look, one of the things, as I said to you, when I thought I wasn't going to run, I was going to write a book about the changes taking place.
00:17:34.000 And most of us directed over the years for these fundamental changes in society by changing technology.
00:17:42.000 Gutenberg and the printing press changed the way Europeans could talk to one another all the way to today.
00:17:48.000 Where do people get their news?
00:17:51.000 They go on the internet.
00:17:54.000 They go online.
00:17:57.000 And you have no notion whether it's true or not.
00:18:02.000 Wow. Biden's upset that we know that the border is completely opened, that there's a crisis of humanitarian proportions down there that we've never seen before.
00:18:14.000 He's upset about that, that we have basic information that anyone with a brain can compute.
00:18:20.000 We have the latest footage from the border.
00:18:23.000 We're going to get into all of that coming up with Mark Morgan.
00:18:28.000 So make sure again, folks, that you guys are liking, sharing, subscribing to the content.
00:18:33.000 That's how we're gonna get the message out.
00:18:35.000 That's gonna combat everything that we're up against.
00:18:38.000 If you think that Joe Biden just saying that he's upset that they can't censor as much doesn't mean it's not still happening in big tech, in the mainstream media, even in conservative media.
00:18:48.000 You guys haven't been paying attention.

00:21:06.000 Okay, guys, as promised, joining me now, former Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan.
00:21:12.000 Mark's been on the front lines.
00:21:13.000 He knows it well.
00:21:15.000 He's been in charge of ICE. He has done this.
00:21:18.000 Have you ever seen anything like this?
00:21:22.000 I mean, this isn't even like, it's just a little bit worse than the worst.
00:21:25.000 I mean, this is an all-time worse, isn't it?
00:21:29.000 It's the worst in our nation's history, Don, hands down.
00:21:32.000 And I think what's so frustrating for me is I worked for your father as the president.
00:21:37.000 And this has nothing to do whether I like him personally or not.
00:21:41.000 That's not it. The facts are the facts.
00:21:43.000 And those facts showed us that he provided us a network of tools, authorities, and policies that actually allowed us to do our jobs.
00:21:50.000 To enforce the rule of law, secure our border, and protect our nation against a vast set of complex threats coming across our shared borders with Mexico.
00:21:58.000 And what did the Biden administration do?
00:22:01.000 On day one, they dismantled that entire network, and they took the most secure border in our lifetime, and they intentionally unsecured.
00:22:09.000 And that's why I'm damn mad.
00:22:12.000 This is ridiculous. Every aspect of our nation's health, safety, and national security is being negatively impacted, and this administration continues to lie to the American people about it.
00:22:21.000 Yeah, I mean, I guess that's what's most frustrating.
00:22:23.000 It's not like there's not a solution, right?
00:22:25.000 It's not like it's impossible.
00:22:27.000 This is an insurmountable goal.
00:22:29.000 I mean, we did it.
00:22:30.000 It's sort of like when they were like, oh, we can't really take out ISIS. So my father goes in to the Middle East.
00:22:35.000 He says, hey, operators, like SEAL teams, Do what you need to do.
00:22:39.000 You have the authority to do what you have to do.
00:22:42.000 Not some bureaucrat in Washington, D.C. or some lawyer.
00:22:45.000 Like, you go do what you do best, which is like killing terrorists.
00:22:49.000 And within two weeks, they basically took down the caliphate.
00:22:51.000 Like, it's not rocket science, is it?
00:22:54.000 I mean, everything we need to actually do something, everything we need to shut it down is at our disposal, is it not?
00:23:02.000 I could have said it better myself.
00:23:03.000 You're absolutely correct.
00:23:05.000 You don't have to be a border security expert to get it.
00:23:10.000 It's common sense. Let's just start by some basic principles.
00:23:13.000 First, enforce the laws that are on our books.
00:23:17.000 Mark, don't talk crazy now.
00:23:18.000 Don't talk crazy. This is Democrat power players we're talking about.
00:23:24.000 The laws only get enforced and weaponized against their enemies.
00:23:28.000 That's exactly right.
00:23:30.000 So the common sense approach.
00:23:32.000 And then the other thing is, how about we have a president?
00:23:35.000 How about we have a team of people that actually goes to the border and listens to the experts?
00:23:42.000 That's one of the many aspects of your father that he gained my respect and trust.
00:23:48.000 because he wasn't just another political blowhard.
00:23:51.000 He actually went to the epicenter of the crisis.
00:23:54.000 He actually stood on the front lines of our nation's border and talked to the experts.
00:23:59.000 And he asked them, what do you need?
00:24:01.000 What can I do to help you solve this crisis?
00:24:04.000 And not only did they tell him, but he listened and then he actioned it.
00:24:07.000 And part of that was a multi-layer strategy of deterring people from thinking about violating the law
00:24:14.000 and applying consequences to those that do.
00:24:17.000 And then he actually gave them the resources to actually help them do their job of deterrence and consequences.
00:24:24.000 It's not complicated.
00:24:26.000 And that's why we, by February of 2020, we had reduced illegal immigration by over 85%.
00:24:32.000 That put more resources, more Border Patrol agents on the front lines to do their law enforcement mission and their national security mission to protect this country.
00:24:41.000 Yeah, no, I mean, we hit a record in September.
00:24:44.000 Authorities caught 260,000.
00:24:47.000 200, I mean, over a quarter of a million people just in September.
00:24:51.000 Illegal immigrants on the southern border.
00:24:53.000 That doesn't include how many we missed.
00:24:55.000 That doesn't include the drugs, fentanyl, human trafficking, child sex trafficking that's running rampant there.
00:25:00.000 I know it was incredibly controversial when Trump said, you know, that rapists were coming across the border, but of course they are.
00:25:06.000 And now that's probably happening in droves.
00:25:09.000 The previous record was in December of last year.
00:25:13.000 These are just illegal immigrants.
00:25:16.000 So we talked about how many are we missing?
00:25:18.000 Because I have a feeling like we're catching the ones that are the least sophisticated, the least violent, the least brutal, the ones with the least amount of resources to actually cause true havoc in our country.
00:25:31.000 And I think that's a big component that no one's talking about.
00:25:35.000 Yeah, Don, look, this is why I love coming on your show and talking with you.
00:25:38.000 Again, you're spot on.
00:25:39.000 I know this well.
00:25:41.000 I couldn't have said it better myself. Here's one of the things we don't talk.
00:25:43.000 First of all, there's a couple of important things.
00:25:45.000 And this is where when I say that our nation's compassion has been hijacked, as if illegal immigration.
00:25:51.000 The key is illegal immigration.
00:25:53.000 Immigration is not a victimless crime.
00:25:55.000 That's a lie. It's both a cause and effect.
00:25:58.000 And what happens is, illegal immigration, when they come across, you're right, the majority literally will sit down and wait in 115 degree temperature for Border Patrol agents to come to process them.
00:26:10.000 Why? Because they know they're going to be processed and released into the interior of the United States, never heard from again.
00:26:15.000 But when you have, in the last 32 months, 4 million total nationwide encounters.
00:26:22.000 You're literally pulling resources off the front line away from the national security mission.
00:26:27.000 They're relegated to administrative duties, processing the illegal aliens, which by the way,
00:26:32.000 not only did they commit a crime to illegal enter, but they're also filing false asylum
00:26:36.000 claims because they're not fleeing persecution. They're economic migrants. Just want to throw
00:26:40.000 that out there. But literally, there's no border agents on our front line. We've literally handed
00:26:45.000 operation control over the cartels for them to exploit. And that's where, to hit your point,
00:26:50.000 that's where we have the guideways. And think about it. Go back to common sense. Why do we
00:26:54.000 have a guideway? If you come across your process of release, why are you trying to escape?
00:26:59.000 Well, common sense will tell you, because in that demographic, that's where the murderers, rapists, pedophiles, aggravated felons, and gang members are.
00:27:07.000 Every single day, 1.6 million known gotaways.
00:27:11.000 There are about a dozen states, Don, in our country whose population is below 1.6 million.
00:27:16.000 We've literally added a 51st state equivalent of God of Ways, of murderers, rapists, pedophiles, aggravated felons, and gang members.
00:27:24.000 Your father, every time that he said that, he was factually correct, and the left media attacked him for it, and I would get so frustrated because he was the one actually speaking the truth.
00:27:36.000 Yeah. Well, it's not even like they're not even enforcing the laws that are on the books.
00:27:40.000 They're actively, seemingly promoting this notion that, hey, if you get in here, you're gonna get all the freebies.
00:27:45.000 You know, it's not like, oh, the border's just porous.
00:27:48.000 They're creating the incentives for people To actually come.
00:27:53.000 And, you know, it doesn't surprise me that there seems to be a different treatment.
00:27:58.000 Actual political refugees from Cuba or Venezuela, people who were being shot in the streets of Havana last year, they were turned away because they're actually fleeing the Marxist utopia that the Democrats are trying to prevent.
00:28:11.000 You said it best, sort of, the economic migrants.
00:28:14.000 They're not actually fleeing persecution.
00:28:16.000 Sure, they want a free check in this.
00:28:18.000 That's permanent Democrat voting base.
00:28:21.000 They don't have the education, the ability to probably ever contribute back to the system, so they'll take a lot more out of it.
00:28:27.000 You, the American taxpayer, has the privilege of paying for that.
00:28:31.000 Our resources, I mean, our public school systems already a disaster between the indoctrination and the bullshit.
00:28:37.000 Our medical systems stress to the hilt.
00:28:39.000 Our infrastructure, basically across the board, And, like, no one's even talking about that.
00:28:44.000 Like, the Democrats that are doing this, like, they're shooting themselves in the foot.
00:28:48.000 The least affluent neighborhoods are going to be affected by this even more than any other because there is still a finite number of resources being spread around.
00:28:57.000 But you're right, there's a 51st state.
00:28:59.000 In many cases, quite a large 51st state based on the 7.2 million that have come across.
00:29:04.000 I mean, that's like seven times the size of Montana's population.
00:29:07.000 And we're going to have to take care of that one way or the other.
00:29:10.000 Yeah, Don, you're right.
00:29:12.000 Look, you're talking about the direct effects of illegal immigration.
00:29:17.000 I'll footstomp that, and I'll go back.
00:29:19.000 This is why I say illegal immigration is both an effect that you just described, but it's also the cause of our borders being open, right?
00:29:26.000 Because, again, it pulls resources away.
00:29:28.000 They're not on the front line.
00:29:30.000 And then the cartels, that's how they exploit it, and that's when drugs, criminals, national security threats are coming across.
00:29:35.000 I always say, look, all these images we see in New York, that's great, and I understand why we're doing that.
00:29:40.000 But I try to tell people, if you see, think about this, all those illegal aliens that you see in New York lying in the street, they're laying on the sidewalks trying to find a place to live.
00:29:50.000 Just imagine, every 10 illegal aliens that you see sitting in New York, think about the hundreds of pounds of drugs that also came in right alongside them and made their way to every town, city, and state in this country, or the criminals.
00:30:05.000 I'll give you one real quick stat.
00:30:06.000 In the past 32 months, Border Patrol mainly have apprehended 146 convicted murderers.
00:30:13.000 Think about it. Let that sink in.
00:30:15.000 They've apprehended 146 convicted murderers.
00:30:21.000 Now think about how many murderers are among the 1.6 million known gotaways.
00:30:26.000 I give you one recent history, the Pennsylvania fugitive.
00:30:29.000 He fled Brazil because he had killed somebody in Brazil.
00:30:33.000 And to avoid apprehension, he illegally entered the United States and then killed again.
00:30:38.000 That is happening on a regular basis in this country.
00:30:42.000 I mean, talk about, you know, let's go further on that, because you also see, hey, there's, you know, we've never seen this level of, you know, Chinese nationals coming across, you know, that no doubt that many of them are likely linked to the CCP and the Communist Party.
00:30:56.000 I mean, you know...
00:30:58.000 Other countries. It's not like, oh, it's Mexico coming across, or Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras are coming across.
00:31:03.000 I mean, talk about that threat, because that seems like a big one, especially when you couple that with, like, the videos that you see on mainstream media, if they even show you something.
00:31:13.000 You know, it's like a mother and child, but they're not showing you the videos of, like, boatloads of, like, fighting age men.
00:31:19.000 You know, they're not fleeing political persecution.
00:31:21.000 If you do that, you bring your family, you bring your kid.
00:31:23.000 Not, like... You know, young 20-year-old men coming over here, like, I have a feeling they have different intentions than, you know, perhaps a mother that is actually fleeing.
00:31:33.000 You know, it's probably more economic hardship than anything, but, you know, at least you say, okay, fine, maybe there's something there.
00:31:41.000 That's the point, Don.
00:31:43.000 Again, the issue is we don't know.
00:31:46.000 Why would we speculate in differential treatment and speculation in their favor and not in the favor of our national security?
00:31:55.000 Every point you just brought up, thousands of Chinese nationals.
00:31:59.000 Why? That's a fair, rational, reasonable question that we should be asking.
00:32:05.000 What is the intent? Why are we seeing this?
00:32:07.000 In the past 32 months, Border Patrol has apprehended illegal aliens from 170 different countries.
00:32:14.000 170! There's only 195 recognized countries in the world.
00:32:18.000 And many of those countries we know either harbor terrorists or facilitate terrorist financing.
00:32:23.000 And we also know that in the past 32 months, Border Patrol alone has apprehended illegal aliens trying to sneak into our border over 256 times in the last 32 months.
00:32:34.000 To put that perspective, that last year under the Trump administration, that number, six.
00:32:40.000 I mean, this is unconscionable, and I say that, and this is not hyperbolic, and I will not back from down from this comment, that it is potential, again, go back to the 1.6 million known dataways, that we could have a sleeper terror cell in our country right now.
00:32:54.000 We could have dozens.
00:32:56.000 I have no idea. We could have dozens.
00:32:57.000 It's not like one. I mean, I'm at this point just playing statistics when you talk about those countries.
00:33:02.000 Yeah. After about the first 30, 35, they're probably not the greatest places in the world to probably want people coming in from.
00:33:10.000 Just off the top of my head.
00:33:12.000 I'll get criticized for stereotyping, but give me a break, okay?
00:33:17.000 It seems like not only is there a chance, but it almost would be an impossibility to not have numerous...
00:33:24.000 I mean, they see that, again.
00:33:26.000 But those are the ones that are sophisticated enough.
00:33:28.000 The people that took down the World Trade Center, the people that orchestrate these bombings at our embassies around the world, these are not...
00:33:37.000 They may live in caves, but they live in caves for a purpose, to keep them off the grid.
00:33:41.000 I imagine they can get across a Swiss cheese border far better than someone who's actually just fleeing economic disparity with their children.
00:33:51.000 That's exactly right. And this is, again, why we say border security is synonymous with national security.
00:33:58.000 Let me give you a look. 18 months ago, the FBI thwarted a terrorist attack that was designed to assassinate former President Bush.
00:34:05.000 And how are they going to carry that out?
00:34:07.000 By sneaking across terrorists through our wide open southwest border.
00:34:11.000 Yet, how much did we hear about that?
00:34:14.000 How much of the mainstream liberal media covered that?
00:34:16.000 Zero. It wasn't even a blip on the radar.
00:34:19.000 Yeah, and he's a rhino. You'd think they'd give him a little bit of credit, but honestly, I didn't know that.
00:34:26.000 Now, I traveled a little bit in August, but I do this for a living.
00:34:30.000 I mean, think about that. A terrorist self ready to assassinate a former president.
00:34:34.000 I wonder who else would be in their crosshairs, but...
00:34:39.000 How is that possible that that's not common knowledge?
00:34:42.000 How is that not the biggest story of the day?
00:34:44.000 You know, every time there's a Trump indictment, it's conveniently 12 hours after Joe Biden gets caught doing something else so that they don't have to cover that.
00:34:52.000 So I guess it shouldn't surprise us, but that's a really big deal.
00:34:56.000 It is a big deal, but again, I think I'm with you.
00:34:59.000 It doesn't surprise me because it doesn't fit into their narrative.
00:35:02.000 And we have to be honest here.
00:35:04.000 And look, I've been a career guy most of my life, but I'm going to continue to call balls and strikes.
00:35:09.000 The liberal mainstream media is obviously an extension of the Democratic Party.
00:35:13.000 There's no mistaking that right now, Don.
00:35:15.000 We know that. That's obvious.
00:35:16.000 If you say otherwise, you're just not being intellectually honest.
00:35:20.000 So they basically buried the story.
00:35:23.000 They buried it when the FBI director says again and again under oath and congressional testimony that our southwest border poses a serious national security and criminal threat to our country.
00:35:34.000 They refuse to tell us openly the number of 1.6 million known Godways.
00:35:40.000 They will not tell us the disposition of all the illegal aliens that they've encountered on the terror screening database.
00:35:47.000 The Secretary of Homeland Security said Won't even respond to requests from Congress as part of their constitutional oversight responsibilities.
00:35:56.000 And the last thing that I'll say that we don't talk enough about either that this administration hides is the death and suffering at the hands of the migrants because of their open borders.
00:36:05.000 They've told the entire world, risk your life, work with the cartels to come to our borders because we're going to let you in.
00:36:11.000 And the last 32 months, CBP alone has recovered almost 2,000 dead migrants.
00:36:17.000 We know that 30% of young women and children are sexually assaulted or raped in the journey up here, and countless are thrust in the life of trafficking.
00:36:24.000 But you never hear this administration or the liberal media talk about that, Don.
00:36:28.000 Yeah, listen, as you know, with my hobbies, it sort of takes me down to South Texas a lot, you know, hunting season.
00:36:32.000 I have a lot of friends down there, ranches near the border, and honestly, even ranches 100 miles over the border.
00:36:39.000 You know, they're not going through the highway system, the ones they're sneaking in, but the amount of stories I see, uh, And it's not just, you know, here's a picture of, you know, people's backpacks and trash left down there, but the amount of, well, we found it, you know, a dead woman and child, we found it, like, it's dozens.
00:36:55.000 And that this isn't known by the American people that, you know, the humanitarian crisis isn't just, it's literally the people dying and starving or of thirst or heat exposure or...
00:37:09.000 Coming across the border, those are actually, the people that are dying from it are probably the ones that you actually want to be helping, right?
00:37:16.000 Not the drug traffickers that are getting fined in there, they're getting paid people's livelihoods.
00:37:21.000 That aspect of this crisis is not even spoken about, is truly, I mean, I guess nothing shocks me anymore, but it's truly sick.
00:37:31.000 It is. I just got video footage from the elite Texas DPS aircraft division where they had spotted a young woman that was sitting in the middle of a desert area by herself.
00:37:43.000 And they went and responded, and they realized that she had twisted her ankle.
00:37:48.000 And so what do you think the cartels did, Don?
00:37:50.000 You think they gave her emergency aid and got a litter?
00:37:53.000 Of course not. They left her there.
00:37:54.000 They left her there because she couldn't keep up to die.
00:37:56.000 And that happens on a regular basis.
00:37:59.000 But you're never going to hear that from the liberal mainstream media or this administration.
00:38:04.000 But that's the kind of atrocity that's happening every single day.
00:38:08.000 Yeah, I have a friend, John Rourke, a veteran.
00:38:12.000 He runs Blue Line Moving, a moving company there.
00:38:14.000 And he literally takes his trucks and he goes and does a cleanup on the border there every couple of months.
00:38:21.000 And I mean, you know, Hundreds of tons.
00:38:25.000 I mean, they're doing a weekend cleanup in some of these areas.
00:38:27.000 Hundreds of tons of garbage and clothes.
00:38:29.000 That's not from the people that are living there.
00:38:31.000 Hundreds of tons?
00:38:33.000 I mean, I don't think we can even fathom the volume that's coming across the border.
00:38:38.000 But I want to ask you, Mark, there's a video going around right now of a Border Patrol agent fist-bumping an illegal immigrant.
00:38:46.000 The illegal immigrant is fist-bumping the agent after the agent is literally cutting razor wire
00:38:53.000 on the border that Texas put there. I mean, I know a lot of guys in, you know, in border patrol.
00:39:01.000 I have a lot of respect for these guys.
00:39:03.000 I think most of them actually think like me.
00:39:06.000 Not the bureaucrats at the top.
00:39:07.000 There's a difference. And we always have to make that distinction.
00:39:10.000 But... Can you lay out how border agents are now instructed to interact with this?
00:39:15.000 I mean, honestly, you have an easier time coming across that border than you do getting basic rights in America as a citizen.
00:39:25.000 Yeah, that's actually correct, what you just said.
00:39:27.000 And think about it. The images that we had in Eagle Pass that we saw with the thousands and thousands sitting under that bridge, here's what's even more infuriating.
00:39:36.000 That bridge above them, about 30 feet above them, is actually the legal point of entry, which is where they should be going through.
00:39:44.000 I mean, the irony is palpable there.
00:39:46.000 But look, it's very important because, Don, you and I share, obviously, I was chief of the Border Patrol and then commissioner of CBP. So I, as well, have immense respect for the men and women in Border Patrol, as I know you do and your father does, right?
00:39:59.000 And even seeing them cut that razor wire, that hasn't wavered for me.
00:40:04.000 Here's why. Because they are put in an untenable position.
00:40:09.000 And a no-win situation.
00:40:11.000 The lawlessness at the border that's happening right now, when we talk about blame, there's only one person to blame, and he sits at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
00:40:21.000 The second person to blame is his chief architect of his open border policy, Secretary Mayorkas.
00:40:27.000 They're the ones calling the shots.
00:40:29.000 They're the ones directing the Border Patrol agents what to do and how to do it.
00:40:33.000 And I talk to them on a regular basis, and I can tell you, They're angry, they're frustrated, they're at their wit's end, and their morale is the worst it's ever been.
00:40:42.000 Well, I mean, they have to be.
00:40:43.000 I remember the guy on the horse, he was whipping Elias, and he was like, no, he wasn't.
00:40:48.000 Well, it didn't matter. It didn't stop them from going after him.
00:40:50.000 He doesn't get an apology. They run with a narrative based on a false picture.
00:40:55.000 Everyone there, it's sort of like what we do with the New York, you know, well, there's sworn testimony.
00:40:59.000 None of that matters. We got a narrative, and we will do whatever we can to fulfill it.
00:41:03.000 So, you know, when I, I mean, I'll play the video right now just for the people who are watching who may not have seen it.
00:41:09.000 Do you guys have that one up? Let's play it, because, you know, it just sort of surprised me, given, again, the way that these guys were treated.
00:41:21.000 So, you know, there's that.
00:41:27.000 So I get what you're saying. And like I said, I've been down there.
00:41:30.000 I've been to the border. I know so many of these guys.
00:41:32.000 The guys that come up to me, hey man, you know, these guys are worried going in daily.
00:41:38.000 They couldn't believe how well they had it under Trump.
00:41:40.000 They were able to, and there's still risk, obviously.
00:41:42.000 That's a dangerous place.
00:41:43.000 But now, you know, they're literally overrun.
00:41:46.000 So when I saw that video, it was like, man, like what, what is going on?
00:41:51.000 You know, that illegal immigrant gets a fist bump and there are veterans, you know, I saw
00:41:56.000 the video of that 95 year old Korean war veteran.
00:41:58.000 I had it on the show last week, you know, thrown out of New York state housing to make
00:42:05.000 room for illegal.
00:42:08.000 So if you're coming across the border illegally, like getting a fist bump from Border Patrol, while a veteran who served his country patriotically is 95 years old, presumably has been paying taxes and Social Security for all of the benefits that he now get, but you know... Korean War veteran, he's getting thrown out on his ass while these guys are getting fist bumped.
00:42:31.000 I mean, you know, we talk about two-tiered system of justice.
00:42:34.000 It's not just in the legal system anymore.
00:42:37.000 It's now how you're treated.
00:42:38.000 I mean, for the Democrats, if you're an American citizen, you're like a distant second, probably third or fourth class citizen relative to people who...
00:42:49.000 Have never paid into a system.
00:42:51.000 Are here illegally.
00:42:54.000 It's mind-boggling.
00:42:55.000 I mean, I don't know when the American populace says, like, enough is enough.
00:42:59.000 But, like, hey, guess what?
00:43:01.000 I get it. I'm the son of a billionaire from New York.
00:43:03.000 I'll be fine. Like...
00:43:05.000 What about the people in these areas?
00:43:07.000 What about the, you know, lower income demographics in our country?
00:43:11.000 They're the ones that are gonna get displaced.
00:43:12.000 They're the ones that are gonna lose their jobs.
00:43:14.000 They're the ones that, you know, other people that are willing to work for a lot less and for cash who aren't paying into those systems, you know, they're the ones that are gonna get screwed.
00:43:22.000 And yet, like, that's a big portion of the Democrat base.
00:43:25.000 And it's fine. Nothing to see here.
00:43:28.000 Yeah, look. Don, I think this is why, part of the reason why I get so angry and I get so frustrated as well, what you just outlined.
00:43:36.000 And I think that's why you're seeing this movement across this country.
00:43:39.000 I actually have called it awakening the past 32 months of what's happening.
00:43:43.000 Everything you just said.
00:43:44.000 I think everybody, a lot of people are waking up and sharing that same frustration.
00:43:49.000 I mean, look, just on this basic premise, these individuals are violating the rule of law, forsaking the boundaries of a foreign sovereign nation.
00:44:00.000 And if that's not enough, then they're coming in and they're lying on their asylum application because they are economic migrants.
00:44:07.000 And what do we do?
00:44:08.000 There are zero consequences.
00:44:11.000 Zero. Nothing happens to them.
00:44:13.000 It's even worse. They actually get rewarded, right?
00:44:17.000 As soon as they come across, they violate the law, they file a fraudulent application.
00:44:22.000 Those are both criminal offenses, right?
00:44:25.000 They should be being prosecuted.
00:44:27.000 But instead, because it injustifies the means, they say, nope, we're going to reward you, we're going to fly you and transport you anywhere in the United States you want to go, and we're going to give you the equivalent benefits that we would give to a citizen.
00:44:39.000 And meanwhile, that's driving our borders to be open for drugs, criminals, and national security threats to pour in.
00:44:45.000 Yeah, I have a friend, you know, a Secret Service agent, I won't disclose names or where he's from, literally texting me over the weekend, hey man, have you noticed where you are that the airport, now he lives in a border state, right, and you know, He goes, the airports are full of illegals.
00:45:05.000 And I'm seeing them there. They got their, you know, government IDs.
00:45:07.000 And they're literally, he's like, we can't, people are getting thrown off flights so they can send them and spread them around the country.
00:45:12.000 I mean, you know, that's the other part.
00:45:14.000 When you read about this, you know, the midnight or 2 a.m.
00:45:17.000 flights, you know, no, no, it's an early morning flight.
00:45:18.000 Yeah, there's a lot of flights, commercial flights that land between 2 and 4 a.m.
00:45:22.000 I mean, they're flying these people around the country.
00:45:24.000 I think my father talked...
00:45:26.000 I think it was this weekend.
00:45:27.000 I've got to find that clip. But, you know, it's amazing.
00:45:30.000 You see all these young fighting-age men, and they all have a brand-new, beautiful cell phone.
00:45:36.000 I mean, it's obviously a setup.
00:45:40.000 Someone's orchestrating all of this.
00:45:41.000 It isn't just us rolling out the red carpet and creating an incentive system.
00:45:45.000 I mean, it feels so much more nefarious than that.
00:45:49.000 How is it that someone fleeing economic asylum, they're so destitute, yet they have a beautiful iPhone.
00:45:54.000 It's amazing to really think about, isn't it?
00:45:58.000 Yeah, it is. And that's one of the multi-layered big lies and false errors being told, right?
00:46:04.000 Is that these individuals that are fleeing, first of all, we're being told they're asylum seekers, right?
00:46:10.000 They're fleeing state-sponsored persecution.
00:46:12.000 That's It's just not right.
00:46:14.000 It's a lie. And the historic data shows it that anywhere between 85 to 90 percent do not get relief from the courts because they're filing false asylum claims.
00:46:25.000 And then, as you said, look, many of these individuals have actually been in other countries for some time.
00:46:31.000 I'll give you just one example that illustrates this.
00:46:33.000 So we know Venezuela right now.
00:46:35.000 If you're born in Venezuela, that's your automatic Willy Wonka ticket factory in the United States, and then they've given them temporary protected status free from deportation.
00:46:44.000 Here's the issue. Many of these Venezuelans have not lived in Venezuela for a decade or more.
00:46:51.000 They've been living in Brazil or other safe third countries where they've been doing just fine.
00:46:55.000 But this administration now says, hey, it doesn't matter.
00:46:59.000 Come on in.
00:47:00.000 They're violating it and exploiting it every single day.
00:47:04.000 This administration knows it.
00:47:05.000 They're lying to the American people, and they know that it caused our border to be unsecured.
00:47:09.000 They don't give a damn because at the end of the day, they see a perceived political benefit.
00:47:14.000 They know that illegal aliens are counted as part of the census,
00:47:17.000 which is a redistricting of the House seats in their favor.
00:47:20.000 And they believe every single illegal alien they find a pathway to citizenship is going to equate to a Democratic vote.
00:47:26.000 Remember, President, then candidate Biden, remember what he said?
00:47:29.000 If you don't vote for me, you're not black.
00:47:32.000 They're going to say the same thing about every single illegal alien that they've converted to be a citizen.
00:47:38.000 Yeah. I mean, so many of the illegal immigrants are coming in that, like, now, even, like, New York's, like, insane, radical, liberal governor is saying that we need to seal up the border.
00:47:49.000 But to your point, you know, Mayor Adams, who, you know, countless videos of him promoting, you know, sanctuary cities.
00:47:56.000 You know, sanctuary cities are great if they're not coming to your sanctuary city.
00:47:59.000 Like, we can be a... Sanctuary City in name only.
00:48:02.000 So it sounds really good and we can virtue signal and get the credit with the liberals.
00:48:06.000 But now that they're actually there, even they are saying, like, we've got to stop this stuff.
00:48:11.000 Enough is enough. But does that matter?
00:48:13.000 Because it feels like...
00:48:15.000 You know what? It's a small price to pay for the Democrats to have power forever, to your last point.
00:48:20.000 I said this on the show.
00:48:21.000 They're trying to stack the census.
00:48:23.000 Whether you're here legally or not, if you're there, you get counted.
00:48:26.000 We can flush the cities with Democrat voters.
00:48:29.000 We can take over all of Congress.
00:48:31.000 There will never be an opposition party that could ever actually move any needles.
00:48:37.000 And it seems like they're willing to destroy their own states.
00:48:40.000 Because, again, the most radical of the radicals are now actually fed up once they see that they're not immune from it themselves.
00:48:49.000 Yeah, keep in mind, so I agree, the virtual signal is exactly right.
00:48:53.000 And I think Americans are seen right through, you know, mayors like Adams of sanctuary cities.
00:48:58.000 But let's keep in mind, they're still playing both sides.
00:49:01.000 Because Eric Adams, he still hasn't come out and correct, I mean, just 100% opposition to Joe Biden and calling him out.
00:49:09.000 What they're really doing is, hey, give us more U.S. taxpayer funding.
00:49:13.000 Rather than take that funding to stop the crisis and secure our borders, they're just asking for more money to manage the crisis after it's already here.
00:49:22.000 It's the same thing with the governor.
00:49:23.000 They're not really putting forth any serious proposals or mandates on the Biden administration to reverse course on their open border policies.
00:49:30.000 They're just asking for more money.
00:49:31.000 And it's working. I mean, part of that is what led to the temporary protected status for Venezuelans to hurry up and exploit that process of getting them jobs.
00:49:40.000 They're trying to cover up and mask the crisis rather than actually address and stop it.
00:49:45.000 So you were in the Trump administration when the wall was being built.
00:49:49.000 Yep. Can you tell us about the wall construction, how it worked, and what exactly is going on with all of this other material that's just sitting there, bought and paid for by the U.S. taxpayer?
00:50:00.000 I mean, because to me, that one's pretty incredible.
00:50:03.000 But even I don't know all the details, but I think the people who ultimately paid for that should, especially when it's a big talking point in the Republican primary.
00:50:10.000 Well, it didn't It's like, well, they built hundreds of miles, but like minor details.
00:50:15.000 We were up against even rhino Republicans, like Paul Ryan, preventing these things from happening.
00:50:20.000 Can you talk about the details of all of that?
00:50:22.000 Because I think it's really important for people to understand.
00:50:24.000 It is. So let's talk about the first goal that was set.
00:50:26.000 The first goal that was set by the first term of President Trump, he wanted to build 450 miles of wall system.
00:50:34.000 And the system part is very important because there's much more than just steel and concrete going in the ground.
00:50:40.000 Every single mile of wall system included state-of-the-art technology, lighting, and access roads that not only allowed the Border Patrol to more effectively respond and prevent threats from coming across, but also helped them to do that in a safe and effective manner.
00:50:54.000 So that's why it's a wall system.
00:50:55.000 The second thing is, Chris Christie, I have to mention this.
00:50:58.000 I saw the last debate where he said that President Trump, that we built 52 miles.
00:51:03.000 I'm telling you, Don, it's just a blatant lie.
00:51:05.000 It's an ignorant statement and shows the complete lack of knowledge that he has.
00:51:09.000 At the end of the day, because I stood in the southwest border with your father the day that we celebrated 450 miles of wall system being built.
00:51:18.000 I was there. I actually have a plaque that your father signed.
00:51:21.000 It's on my wall in my office.
00:51:22.000 And we continue to build.
00:51:24.000 I think at the end, we actually...
00:51:25.000 But even conservative media took that as the way to hit Trump.
00:51:31.000 Like, oh, Chris Christie said this as though it was the gospel.
00:51:33.000 I mean, it can be a flagrant lie.
00:51:35.000 It can be off. But, you know, what difference does it make?
00:51:39.000 I mean, and I think that shows us even where you stand with sort of the uniparty, right?
00:51:43.000 That conservative media takes a fact that it's just so flagrantly false...
00:51:48.000 Such a lie. And they promote it and they push it out there.
00:51:51.000 There's no fact check. There's no this.
00:51:53.000 It sort of tells us where we need to be, which also tells us where perhaps the Republican Party is and why we need someone who's not just the Republican candidate, because maybe they'd be just as bad as any Democrat and folding to the nonsense.
00:52:07.000 Yeah, look, and I'll give you one example.
00:52:10.000 So we had, you know, the old World War II, Normandy-style X berries that you saw on the beaches.
00:52:16.000 Well, that's what we had in some areas of the border.
00:52:19.000 They were useless. Yeah, exactly.
00:52:21.000 They were useless. I mean, people could walk over them.
00:52:24.000 The cartels actually designed ramps where they could actually put ramps over them, drive cars over them.
00:52:28.000 It was stupid. So we got rid of those and put the new 30-foot wall system in there, again, with state-of-the-art technology, lighting, anti-climb plates, the whole nine yards.
00:52:36.000 And I remember when I was commissioner, I was asked about that.
00:52:39.000 They said, well, isn't that replacement?
00:52:40.000 And I said, let me ask you this.
00:52:42.000 If you buy a new car, let's say you got rid of your 1980 Pinto and you bought a Mercedes-Benz and your buddies ask you, hey, what'd you do this weekend?
00:52:51.000 Do you tell them you bought a replacement car?
00:52:53.000 Of course not. You say you bought a brand new car because it was better and new in every imaginable way.
00:52:58.000 It's the same thing with the 462 miles of wall system that we built under the President Trump administration.
00:53:05.000 Yeah, and when people criticize some of that, you know, I think the other thing that, well, the border is X number of miles longer.
00:53:10.000 I'm like, there are areas that are virtually impossible.
00:53:13.000 Like, you don't actually need to spend millions of dollars or whatever it is per mile to build a wall because, like, no one's crossing the Grand Canyon, so to speak, right?
00:53:22.000 You know, there are geographical things that make it impossible.
00:53:25.000 Unless you're, you know, the guy from Free Solo, you're not climbing, you know, a 400-foot brick wall.
00:53:31.000 Or there's parts of the desert where there's no other roads.
00:53:33.000 But also...
00:53:35.000 Even if it isn't a wall, by putting walls in the areas where there is a high concentration, if you drive the worst there, it's easier to cover because you can see the concentration.
00:53:43.000 And that people neglect all of the obvious talking points as it relates to all of the things.
00:53:48.000 Like, yeah, you don't need to build a thousands of mile long wall, but if you do these things in strategic areas, you either drive people to concentrated points that Border Patrol can actually then focus on and work on, or...
00:54:00.000 You put them in a place where there's no way they could feasibly do it themselves, so there's no reason to actually spend millions of dollars putting up a wall in an area where there's, you know, whatever it is, a geographic thing that makes it impossible to cross, etc.
00:54:12.000 Yeah, Don, that's absolutely correct.
00:54:15.000 And look, when I'm sitting here listening, I'm thinking to myself, you're an example.
00:54:18.000 I'm not trying to blow smoke. You're an example that represents someone that has actually been to the border and actually talked to the experts and actually listened to them.
00:54:29.000 And I can tell talking to somebody for five minutes that they've been to the border and spent quality time there and quality time with Border Patrol agents.
00:54:36.000 Because you're right. To footstop, let me give you just one sector of the nine sectors of the southwest border, the Ben Big sector, right?
00:54:44.000 You're not going to need a wall for most of that sector.
00:54:47.000 I mean, that terrain is inhospitable.
00:54:49.000 It's almost impossible.
00:54:51.000 What you would need, though, is that the ability to have persistent surveillance, as you said, to be able to identify and track those that are trying to get through because they can't through other areas, and the Border Patrol is going to be able to respond and apprehend them.
00:55:03.000 It's not complicated.
00:55:04.000 It's a straightforward strategy and process.
00:55:07.000 Mark, what steps would you take to first secure the border?
00:55:09.000 I mean, if you got back in control 2024, DJT gives you the call, be like, get to work.
00:55:14.000 What do you do? Yeah. The first thing I'd do is I'd walk to the cupboard and pull off President Trump's border security strategy book, dust it off, and implement it.
00:55:24.000 And I'm not being facetious here, and I'll give you some quick examples.
00:55:27.000 One, number one on my list would be to reinstate the Remain in Mexico program.
00:55:33.000 Number two, I would reinstate the asylum cooperative agreements we had with all three Northern Triangle countries.
00:55:38.000 Number three, I would reinstate the construction of the border wall.
00:55:42.000 Number four, I would actually remove the restrictions that Secretary Marcus has placed on ICE to actually allow them to do their job and to apprehend and deport those that are here in the country illegally.
00:55:54.000 Those are just four off the top of my head right now.
00:55:57.000 If you do just those four, you will see illegal immigration drastically drop overnight.
00:56:04.000 Okay, so this is the harder question, Mark.
00:56:06.000 But, you know, you also have a background in federal law enforcement and you're in the FBI and all this, so you understand how these agencies work.
00:56:13.000 What do you do about the 7 million people that came here?
00:56:17.000 Yeah, so I get asked that all the time.
00:56:19.000 And look, I'm not trying to be flip here, but this is what I would say.
00:56:22.000 We start with one at a time.
00:56:25.000 I mean, seriously, right?
00:56:26.000 We make it a priority.
00:56:27.000 We actually enforce the law.
00:56:29.000 We actually unclip the wings of ICE. We get together a joint interagency strategy to actually go and remove those that are here in the country illegally.
00:56:39.000 But here's what I'll tell you. Because you have to do both.
00:56:42.000 If you only do one or the other, they're not going to continue to stop coming.
00:56:47.000 Because we saw that in 1986.
00:56:49.000 Look, I love him to death. I think he's one of the greatest presidents we've had in modern history.
00:56:52.000 But Ronald Reagan made a tactical error in the 1986 Amnesty Act.
00:56:56.000 Because what he told the entire world, that if you cross illegally, remain in our country long enough, eventually we're going to go ahead and give you a pass.
00:57:04.000 And then they wonder why people continue to come.
00:57:06.000 We can't do that, Don.
00:57:07.000 So we have to not only secure our border, but take care and do our job to ensure those that are in the country illegally are removed.
00:57:16.000 If we don't, they're going to keep coming because they're going to think that they're going to be the next recipients of amnesty down the road.
00:57:23.000 And here's the one last thing that I'll say too about what we need to do.
00:57:26.000 And look, I was in the Oval Office.
00:57:28.000 I'm not going to discuss things that were spoke about there.
00:57:31.000 I don't do a tell-all like a lot of people.
00:57:33.000 But what I'm confident saying is President Trump understood the need to go after and defeat the cartels.
00:57:40.000 So we have to get a president back in the White House to understand.
00:57:44.000 That the strategy that we've used to go after the cartels for the last three, four decades has failed miserably.
00:57:49.000 We have to change that.
00:57:50.000 We have to go after them with the same level of tenacity, commitment, and government resources that we do terrorist organizations.
00:57:57.000 Whether we call them a terrorist organization, there's pros and cons, but we need to go after them like we do terrorist organizations.
00:58:04.000 Well, I got news for you, buddy.
00:58:05.000 Your book wouldn't sell because you'd never get someone to publish it other than perhaps myself because, you know, the only books that seem to get picked up these days are the books that knock Trump, not the ones that are like, hey, Trump was right, and these are why it's obvious.
00:58:16.000 But talk about that a little bit further, right?
00:58:18.000 Like, you know, my father came up with that policy.
00:58:22.000 He did that. You know, hey, we're going to treat him like an enemy combatant, right?
00:58:25.000 And by the way, when you look at fentanyl, That in and of itself, being run across our borders, has caused more death to American citizens than the Afghan war.
00:58:37.000 And, you know, that was, you know, a 20-year war for a long period of time.
00:58:40.000 Probably more than Vietnam.
00:58:43.000 You know, it's like, I don't know what the exact numbers are, but it feels like it's tens of thousands a year.
00:58:49.000 So it's like, if Vietnam was 50-something thousand, like, you know, let's call it a Vietnam every year or two.
00:58:54.000 I mean... How can they not be enemy combatants?
00:58:59.000 So Trump said this a while ago now, and then every other Republican runs around with it like it's his own idea.
00:59:06.000 How do you do that?
00:59:08.000 I understand there are rules, unfortunately, that you've got to play by, etc., etc.
00:59:13.000 They'll be enforced differently and more drastically against a Republican, even if it's logical.
00:59:23.000 Yeah.
00:59:26.000 Yeah. That's correct.
00:59:39.000 So let me footstomp a little bit.
00:59:41.000 So the last 12-month period, we lost more Americans to drugs and fentanyl poisoning than all the Americans that died from all the terrorist attacks in our nation's history, the Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam wars combined.
00:59:53.000 Right? So put that in perspective.
00:59:55.000 It's a big one. Right?
00:59:56.000 So every single day, it's equivalent of a 747 fully loaded crash on the mountainside killing every American on board.
01:00:03.000 9,000 Americans die every 30 days.
01:00:05.000 So yeah, this is an issue.
01:00:07.000 Yeah, this, I agree with you 100%, Don.
01:00:09.000 This one statistic alone, why in the hell our entire country is saying, yeah, we probably should stop fentanyl coming across our wide open south-porth border.
01:00:20.000 And who's doing that? The cartels.
01:00:21.000 Here's how we do it. This is where, and I know you may not like me bringing up this statement, I understand it, but A.G. Barr, he did an op-ed and he went on a few talk shows.
01:00:31.000 This is where I think he's right on this.
01:00:33.000 And his philosophy is that we should try to implement a planned Columbia style, which meant that we worked with the Colombian government and the U.S. together worked with them to defeat the terrorists they had operated in their country, and it worked. So my first suggestion is, let's do the same thing.
01:00:51.000 Let's try to get Mexico on board to do a joint military effort to go after the cartels.
01:00:57.000 Here's what we know. We know where the precursor criminal schools are coming from, China.
01:01:01.000 We know what ports of entry in Mexico they're going to.
01:01:03.000 We know where all the Mexican meth labs and labs that are making synthetic drugs laced with fentanyl.
01:01:10.000 We know all this, Don. So we know where to go.
01:01:12.000 So we can use... Precision, surgical, kinetic operations to go after and defeat the cartels.
01:01:18.000 And the last thing I'll say, it would be great if we would have Mexico's support and cooperation.
01:01:23.000 If not, so what?
01:01:24.000 The last time I checked, we don't need another country's permission to protect our own.
01:01:29.000 So, okay, that's fair. And listen, I'm happy giving someone credit where credit is due.
01:01:33.000 If A.G. Barr is right about that, I think he's wrong about plenty of other things.
01:01:36.000 I think he was weak, and I think he came in, and very much intentionally, I think he came in, actually, probably with good intentions.
01:01:43.000 But the second the left started talking about impeaching him, you saw a change in attitude.
01:01:48.000 I saw that in my interactions with him, just personally, just at social events at the White House.
01:01:53.000 Came in, gung-ho, and then it was like, impeachment was like, ah!
01:01:57.000 You know, he still wanted to be loved by those who hated him in Washington, D.C. For those guys, it's still—but that doesn't mean he's not right about this one.
01:02:04.000 So, you know, I don't like that sort of mentality where you change your worldview to accommodate those who hate you because it's just easier existence to be liked.
01:02:13.000 We've chosen to do the opposite, which is why we fight.
01:02:15.000 But again, I'm happy to say, hey, he's right about that.
01:02:19.000 When you talk about the initiative in Colombia, I see the reports every day.
01:02:24.000 It's like, you know, the Mexican army was overrun by the cartels.
01:02:29.000 Or... Or, you know, ex-police captain was on the payroll.
01:02:35.000 They're all on the payroll. The military's on the payroll.
01:02:37.000 The congressmen are on the payroll.
01:02:39.000 With maybe one or two exceptions, someone's not on the payroll.
01:02:43.000 It's just they haven't gotten to them yet, or they haven't threatened their families.
01:02:46.000 Do you really think you actually get much done actually working with the Mexican government?
01:02:52.000 Meaning, I'd love to.
01:02:54.000 I understand there's decorum in this, but if they're overrun, And or at duress because they know their family is going to be killed.
01:03:02.000 Like, you know, that's a tough situation.
01:03:04.000 But, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, take out this guy.
01:03:05.000 Here's one.
01:03:07.000 He has a tiny fentanyl plant.
01:03:09.000 He's going to make three plants. You know, go nuke him.
01:03:12.000 And, you know, but the real big guys, the real bad guys, as a very wise former president once would have called them, a very bad hombre, You know, they're just left by the wayside and they can go business as usual while they're throwing out sort of the cannon fodder.
01:03:31.000 Yeah, so look, there's two important things here.
01:03:33.000 First of all, we have to acknowledge the United States that Mexico, they're no longer our partners.
01:03:38.000 They haven't been our partners.
01:03:40.000 And we have to stop pretending like they're our partners, Don.
01:03:43.000 They're not. The second thing is, you're absolutely correct.
01:03:46.000 Mexico, much of Mexico is a failed narco state for all the reasons you just numerated.
01:03:53.000 So at the end of the day, what we had maybe 20 years ago was a Mexican governor We're good to go.
01:04:21.000 It's going to take surgical precision kinetic operations to do that with or without Mexico.
01:04:27.000 We need to do it if we're actually serious about protecting our own country and our own citizens.
01:04:33.000 Well, let's talk about, you know, protecting our own country and our own citizens, right?
01:04:36.000 You're a former FBI agent, obviously your time, you know, at Border Patrol, and then a Marine veteran.
01:04:42.000 I mean, talk about those things.
01:04:45.000 I mean, do you have concerns about our state and federal law enforcement?
01:04:50.000 Do you have concerns about the state of our military?
01:04:54.000 You see the recruitment numbers.
01:04:55.000 You see the policies. I'm sure when you were a Marine, they were pushing the trans ideology, and that makes us a stronger...
01:05:02.000 Fighting force or something.
01:05:04.000 It doesn't matter anymore.
01:05:05.000 They just, they say it.
01:05:07.000 We're supposed to believe it's the gospel.
01:05:08.000 But, you know, talk about that.
01:05:10.000 I mean, you've sat in those three places.
01:05:12.000 You've functions at the highest level of bureaucracy, certainly in federal law enforcement.
01:05:18.000 I mean, do we have the will to change anything?
01:05:22.000 Do we have the ability or are these institutions at this point just too far gone because there's just, there's too many, you know, of the woke leaders in charge?
01:05:32.000 Well, I say that our will across all of those dimensions is being eroded right now in challenge.
01:05:39.000 Yesterday, it's funny, ironically, you bring this up.
01:05:41.000 I was reading an article about military recruitment and that the United States Army, for example, last year they were, I believe it was under 150,000 or some number like that.
01:05:52.000 And they're still woefully under the recruiting goals.
01:05:54.000 And they talked about they were at this recruiting event and they had young, you know, strapping men come up to them and asking them about a life in the military.
01:06:04.000 And, you know, their comment was, I don't think it's for me.
01:06:07.000 And they asked him why.
01:06:09.000 And he said, well, I don't want to go to war.
01:06:12.000 And, you know, I found that, I think, representational, Don, of where we're at now.
01:06:18.000 Now, don't get me wrong. Nobody wants to go to war.
01:06:21.000 When I was a Marine, I didn't want to go to war.
01:06:23.000 But I knew that the only way to truly have peace was through strength.
01:06:29.000 And for those people willing to be a part of something greater than themselves, to be a part of that strength apparatus.
01:06:36.000 When I was a young man in the United States Marine Corps, when I was a list before I could commission, I remember going through bayonet drills and we had pictures of communists, right?
01:06:45.000 And Russians that we were going to attack and kill.
01:06:49.000 Now we report to them, yeah.
01:06:52.000 And so I think we've lost that.
01:06:55.000 I think we have.
01:06:57.000 And I'm worried.
01:06:59.000 I'm worried where the direction of the military is going to go.
01:07:02.000 But specifically, I spent 20 years in the FBI, Don, and I'm worried about the FBI. I still talk to current active agents.
01:07:09.000 I talk to retired agents.
01:07:11.000 And the FBI today is not the FBI that was when I was in.
01:07:15.000 Now, don't get me wrong. I still say the majority of the rank and file are still there for the right reasons and doing the right things.
01:07:21.000 But not everybody. Remember, during the 2020 riots, FBI agents on active duty with ballistic vests on, with FBI across their chest, They were deployed there to protect the Lincoln Memorial.
01:07:32.000 And what did they do? They knelt down in support of Black Lives Matter.
01:07:38.000 Was that on order?
01:07:42.000 It's actually a really good point.
01:07:44.000 It's really interesting. It's actually contrary to most of what I've seen.
01:07:47.000 But again, the FBI guys were former FBI guys that come up to me.
01:07:51.000 They're probably home team, right?
01:07:53.000 Whereas I really felt it was like, I always say, you know, the door kickers.
01:07:57.000 Listen, they're 90% on our side, but the problem is if you signal to leadership that you may be even a little bit on our side.
01:08:07.000 If you're not a trans activist at this point, you're going to be demoted.
01:08:11.000 You're going to be guarding a pile of rubber dog shit in Guam.
01:08:14.000 You're not going to be doing FBI work.
01:08:16.000 So how much of that is on order of leadership, or how much are we actually losing The rank and file, because that's what's scary to me.
01:08:24.000 Meaning, like I said, I feel like I see it so much.
01:08:26.000 So many guys come up to me.
01:08:27.000 They can't believe what's going on.
01:08:29.000 They're so sorry, yada, yada, yada.
01:08:30.000 And I understand that they're perhaps helpless right now to do something about it.
01:08:34.000 But if some of those things aren't on order and they're just starting to do it, are they even weeding out the rank and file to fill that void with the other woke joke-like people that they have in there?
01:08:47.000 Yeah, I think it is.
01:08:49.000 And I think that event in 2020, when they were out in front of the Lincoln Memorial, look, it wasn't an order from any supervision.
01:08:58.000 The agents did that themselves.
01:08:59.000 But that's almost to some degree, Don, worse.
01:09:02.000 Because when I was a rank-and-file agent, I would have never entered my mind.
01:09:07.000 I can tell you, your question, my honest response is, like, I don't know who's on the team.
01:09:11.000 Because as an agent, it was irrelevant.
01:09:13.000 I crossed the threshold of that door.
01:09:16.000 And I put that badge on my chest and my gun and a holster.
01:09:19.000 I didn't give a crap what their political affiliation was.
01:09:22.000 We never talked about it.
01:09:23.000 We never asked because it didn't matter.
01:09:25.000 But when I saw the Neil, oh, by the way, they're referred to as Neil Team Six, by the way.
01:09:30.000 You ought to laugh at that, right?
01:09:32.000 I love that. But that showed that they thought it was okay to do that.
01:09:39.000 So that tells me that it's permeated well below the leadership for the reasons you said.
01:09:45.000 A lot of people now are on the team, but they're going to be quiet because if they aren't, they're not going to get promoted, as you said.
01:09:51.000 But the fact it's gone down the rank and file to take actions like that, that's what scares me.
01:09:56.000 Yeah, I guess, you know, yeah, perhaps that's worse, right?
01:09:59.000 That it wasn't an order, that it was just capitulation.
01:10:01.000 Whether they believed it or not, that they'd be willing to do that, because that means, like, hey, whether we like it or not, we'll violate your rights.
01:10:07.000 We'll arrest your grandmother because she was 1,500 miles within the proximity of D.C. on January 6th, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
01:10:14.000 You know, you as a concerned mother, you're a domestic terrorist because you went to a PTA meeting and spoke up about indoctrination.
01:10:20.000 I mean, I guess that should scare all of us perhaps more than any of it.
01:10:24.000 Yeah, that's right.
01:10:25.000 I completely agree.
01:10:26.000 And remember, when Comey was losing his mind, and I think Comey will go down as the worst director in the FBI's history, I was there at the time.
01:10:34.000 I know him. I wasn't a fan of Comey when he was still the cool kid, right?
01:10:39.000 But even then during Comey, what I would have said is most of the travesty that was happening was really centralized at the top levels of the FBI. But as you said, through capitulation, as you articulated, that over the years has trickled down.
01:10:54.000 And this is where, look, I actually...
01:10:57.000 Director Wray, I'm torn with him because he's got an incredible background.
01:11:02.000 I like the guy.
01:11:03.000 But here's where he's made a mistake, is he's just buried his hand.
01:11:07.000 And he's pretended to even acknowledge that there's a perception in this country right now that their trust in the FBI and DOJ has eroded.
01:11:18.000 Whether you like that or not, whether you agree with that, whether you think that's factually accurate or not, as a leader of the FBI, is irrelevant because that's the perception.
01:11:27.000 And he's ignored it.
01:11:28.000 And then he's actually attacking the people that have that perception.
01:11:32.000 He's got it all wrong, and that's just furthering more erosion of the public trust in this FBI and Department of Justice.
01:11:39.000 Yeah, well, I mean, talk about the Comey thing, though, a little bit, because I agree with you.
01:11:43.000 I mean, the guy's obviously an imbecile and incompetent, but I feel like he actually, you know, as far as the left is concerned, he's the greatest thing that happened.
01:11:50.000 I mean, he could destroy that institution.
01:11:52.000 He could do that. But, like, you know, he's getting, you know, million-dollar things, and he's a commentator, and book tours, and this, that, and the other.
01:11:59.000 Like, you know, yeah, he's a disaster if you're an agent and for the cause, or at least the former cause of the FBI. But in terms of what they look at it, I mean, he's the greatest thing that ever happened to them, and he's being rewarded as such.
01:12:12.000 I mean, you know, that is a big distinction, right?
01:12:15.000 He was a disaster, but the left wants him because he was able to take an institution, weaponize it against half the citizenry of the country, and he's being greatly rewarded for that.
01:12:24.000 So, you know, I agree with you that he's a disaster, but it doesn't seem like anyone on the left agrees with you because the ends justify the means.
01:12:32.000 Yep, yep. And think about it.
01:12:34.000 The irony there is unbelievable, because remember, when they were investigating Hillary, they hated him.
01:12:40.000 Remember that? And then it all changed.
01:12:42.000 It all changed, because I was in the FBI. It changed July 2016, when he just abdicated every norm, tradition, policy, when he circumvented the Attorney General of the United States as the FBI Director and said, I'm going to take that authority away from the Attorney General of the United States of America, and I am going to make the prosecutorial decision to not prosecute Hillary Clinton, as he then proceeded to lay out a very detailed case as to why she should have been prosecuted.
01:13:13.000 I tell you, Don, that was the moment in time where the trajectory of Comey changed as well as the trajectory of the FBI changed, and it has continued to worsen since that time.
01:13:25.000 Well, yeah, I agree.
01:13:27.000 It's crazy. I mean, we talked about the cartels and hitting them, you know, where they stand.
01:13:32.000 What about deploying the military to the border, just as a preventative thing?
01:13:35.000 Is that, I mean, that doesn't seem like, you know, for those who are like, it's invasive, you can't go, you go to war with another country, even if, you know, the Mexican government officials are on the, you know, cartel's payroll.
01:13:46.000 You know, what about the military on the border?
01:13:48.000 Can they be used to bolster?
01:13:50.000 Could they work effectively with Border Patrol, etc., to stop the influx right now?
01:13:56.000 Yes, and they should be.
01:13:58.000 Keep in mind, this is important.
01:13:59.000 A lot of people don't realize is United States military and other National Guard elements have been on our borders for years under multiple administrations, including President Obama and throughout President Trump's entire presidency.
01:14:11.000 They are a very effective tool and resource down there to help Customs and Border Protection, specifically Border Patrol, as you said, to help do their job.
01:14:19.000 And they have been. I mean, the assets from aviation assets to surveillance assets and capabilities to simply show a force.
01:14:27.000 There's a tremendous amount of power that they can bring.
01:14:30.000 What I would say, if I came back under the administration, the first thing that I would ask the president to do is dramatically increase the United States military's presence on our border.
01:14:42.000 We cannot stop this.
01:14:45.000 Unless we stop the bleeding.
01:14:47.000 We have to send a strong, powerful message to Mexico, the cartels, and the entire world that our borders are actually secure.
01:14:57.000 That if you come, you're not getting in.
01:14:59.000 But to be successful, it's going to take not only the resources, but the policies to back that up.
01:15:07.000 So one more thing, though.
01:15:08.000 We talked about the cartels.
01:15:09.000 We talked about the governments.
01:15:11.000 We talked about just the humanitarian crisis.
01:15:13.000 But when you worked as an FBI special agent combating MS-13, gang violence, how does the porous border affect the threats posed by those gangs?
01:15:30.000 enabling them to grow.
01:15:32.000 What are the things that we aren't, those are some of the obvious ones,
01:15:35.000 but what are some of the things that we're not thinking about?
01:15:37.000 Because those guys have been operating freely in our country in many respects,
01:15:41.000 but it seems like we're literally like their MVP enabling that growth,
01:15:45.000 which is, again, all over the country.
01:15:47.000 That's not just in the border states.
01:15:49.000 D, all of the above.
01:15:51.000 Again, it's not simple. Here's what the cartels do.
01:15:54.000 They'll take Zone B and they'll saturate Zone B with illegal aliens as they watch from their listing posts both in Mexico and the United States.
01:16:04.000 Yes, in the United States they have people listing posts and observation posts on mountaintops They'll wait for the Border Patrol to respond to Zone B to start processing those illegal aliens.
01:16:15.000 And then that leaves Zone A and C on either side wide open.
01:16:18.000 And what happens? That's when they push the guideways, which includes a hell of a lot of gang members.
01:16:24.000 Right now, under this administration, we are providing MS-13 as well as a litany of gangs
01:16:29.000 with a revolving door of new members. It's absolutely absurd and it's detrimental to our
01:16:38.000 nation's safety. And let's keep in mind, a lot of people forget about, so the drugs coming across,
01:16:44.000 well, how do they get to every town, city and state?
01:16:46.000 Because the gangs are the drug distribution arm of the cartels.
01:16:51.000 So when you're opening our border, allowing gang members to come to the United States, you're actually supplying those gangs with more resources to help the cartels distribute the drugs coming across our border to every town, city, and state in this country.
01:17:04.000 It's happening every day, all day long, Don.
01:17:06.000 That's interesting. Yeah, I remember when I went down to the border one of the times, they were very concerned about where I stood because you talked about the listening posts of these games.
01:17:14.000 They're like, hey, listen, we're worried that there's a sniper team on that mountain somewhere and they're going to shoot you in the face.
01:17:19.000 I'm like, that's a great swing thought.
01:17:21.000 I really look forward to going and giving a speech right now on a large podium and this and that and the other.
01:17:26.000 I mean, this is a wonderful thought going through my head.
01:17:29.000 But it's true.
01:17:31.000 It's true. And it's that bad.
01:17:33.000 We know it. At the time, the United States Secret Service knew it.
01:17:36.000 I had a Secret Service detail and everything like that.
01:17:38.000 But that the average American doesn't get that just emphasizes how much they're hiding from us.
01:17:44.000 Again, it's why I was talking about sharing this kind of content.
01:17:47.000 Make sure that people understand it.
01:17:48.000 Because again, you think, okay, well, these things are problems.
01:17:52.000 But you don't understand the size, the scope, the potential, how fast it can spiral out of control.
01:17:57.000 And I think that's a huge part of it.
01:17:59.000 It is. And to your point, so let's go back to the migrants themselves.
01:18:03.000 The past 32 months, because of this administration, they've encountered over 400,000 unaccompanied minors.
01:18:11.000 400,000!
01:18:13.000 So the real common sense Shocker to that is, just think about how many more young children, minors, were sexually assaulted and raped on the journey up here.
01:18:24.000 I'm sure you have. I've talked to countless Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement that recount how they interviewed a 14-year-old unaccompanied minor that was raped multiple times on their journey up here.
01:18:36.000 Or the 12-year-old's backpack that had the morning-after pill in her backpack and asked why she had that.
01:18:42.000 My mother gave it to me because she anticipated I would be raped on my journey up here.
01:18:46.000 Or as I said, the 2,000 dead migrants that had recovered at our border or the untold numbers thrust into sex and labor trafficking.
01:18:54.000 You know, it was just a few months ago we found a 10-year-old that was working the midnight shift at a meatpacking plant.
01:19:00.000 Why we have a former HSS employee said that this administration has lost 85 to 100,000 of the 400 unaccompanied minors that they've allowed in the United States.
01:19:11.000 But yet, the mainstream media never talked about that, and most America doesn't realize that's happening.
01:19:16.000 Yeah, no, you know, it's crazy.
01:19:18.000 And you just, listen, the stats, these are governmental stats, right?
01:19:22.000 You know, two-thirds of all the women and kids are, you know, raped.
01:19:25.000 I mean, you multiply that by 400,000.
01:19:27.000 Like, honestly, man, you'd think this would not be a partisan issue.
01:19:31.000 You'd think that even Democrats, as fucked up as some of them are right now, and I get there's the Jeffrey Epstein Democrats and the Hollywood Democrats and probably the D.C. But, like, you would think that good, hardworking Democrats across the country would be like, you know what, like, We gotta all let our legislators know that this is where we draw the line.
01:19:48.000 And the fact that that hasn't happened...
01:19:53.000 It's really sad, man. It's a shame.
01:19:55.000 To some degree, I'll give them some deference, just a little, little, and here's why.
01:20:00.000 Because they're being lied to all day long, every day.
01:20:03.000 The White House is using their bully pulpit, the White House press secretary.
01:20:07.000 I mean, everything that comes out of her mouth about the border is just buffoonery, and it's just lie.
01:20:12.000 Lie on top of lie.
01:20:13.000 The mainstream media refuses to cover truthfully and accurately, so they're not even getting the righteous information that they need.
01:20:20.000 Yeah. Well, guys, again, it's why we say it all the time.
01:20:22.000 Make sure you're liking. Make sure you're sharing.
01:20:25.000 Make sure you're describing. Follow Mark.
01:20:27.000 Mark, thank you for what you're doing.
01:20:29.000 Thanks for being able to say these things and being willing to do it because, again, you know what?
01:20:35.000 But you're right, I think that's totally fair.
01:20:38.000 People don't know, and if they don't know, it's harder to make a decision.
01:20:41.000 So we do have to give them some of the benefit of the doubt.
01:20:43.000 But now this information is out there.
01:20:46.000 We just have to make sure that people actually see it, that people actually hear it.
01:20:51.000 We got to force those who are suppressing it to be held accountable for that and or
01:20:56.000 circumvent them entirely.
01:20:58.000 And this is how we do it.
01:20:59.000 So Mark, thank you so much for being here.
01:21:02.000 Thanks for doing this.
01:21:03.000 Keep up the good work, and I'm sure, unfortunately, I'm sure we'll be talking in the not too
01:21:07.000 distant future again as more of the disaster unfolds down there on the border.
01:21:12.000 So I really appreciate everything they're doing, man.
01:21:14.000 You're a great American.
01:21:15.000 Well, Don, thank you as well for what you do to get the truth and the facts out there.
01:21:20.000 We got to keep fighting it.
01:21:21.000 If I can, real quick, I want to, there's another great patriot that I know you know well, Tom
01:21:24.000 Holman.
01:21:26.000 We just started a new 501c3 nonprofit called Border 911.
01:21:31.000 He's put together a hell of a team.
01:21:33.000 He's got obviously himself and me and Jason Jones and Derek Maltz from the DEA and Sarah
01:21:37.000 Carter and a few others that were coming together.
01:21:42.000 And our desire and our goal is to do just what you said, to continue to get the truth
01:21:46.000 and facts out there.
01:21:47.000 So if you can go to border911.com, check us out.
01:21:50.000 We appreciate it.
01:21:51.000 Yeah, guys.
01:21:52.000 Yeah.
01:21:53.000 You know, Tom's been on the show.
01:21:54.000 Great dude.
01:21:55.000 I'm glad you guys are doing that.
01:21:56.000 We have talked about that.
01:21:57.000 But yeah, guys, go check that one out as well.
01:21:59.000 Go to the URL because I have a feeling that if you search it on Google, nothing's going
01:22:03.000 to show up.
01:22:04.000 No, but again, to my point, it's what we're up against.
01:22:06.000 It's not like our ideas versus theirs.
01:22:08.000 They got trillion dollar institutions running cover for the Democrats, suppressing this stuff, trying to take over.
01:22:15.000 And, you know, you'd think it'd be something we could all agree on, but you'd be wrong.
01:22:19.000 So, guys, yeah, definitely go check that out, Mark.
01:22:21.000 Thanks for all the great work that you're doing.
01:22:23.000 Okay, guys, thanks so much for that.

01:23:09.000 Again, these guys have guts to support a show like this.
01:23:11.000 You've seen the cancellation. You've seen the consequences.
01:23:14.000 This is the insanity that we're up against.
01:23:17.000 These guys put back a portion of every dollar raised to fight for conservative values and the things we believe in.
01:23:23.000 For free... You can vote with your wallet, folks, or you can keep giving big corporate telecom your money to have them weaponize it against you and everything that you believe.
