00:00:00.000 missing children some 460,000 a year every year so you know the job of missing children if you
00:00:09.080 don't mind taking it from two different angles one is what are we doing every time we see reports
00:00:14.140 it's a celebration but could you give some feedback on the preventative side to have 460,000
00:00:22.320 kids missing every single year how are these kids you know being taken what are some different
00:00:29.160 stories you're hearing about whoever these child traffickers are what are some ways that they're
00:00:34.480 doing it America that you're finding well one of the tools they used was that open border for years
00:00:40.600 we saw over 400,000 children be lost under the last administration they came in moved by human
00:00:49.020 traffickers some of them were even put into government programs under the office of refugees
00:00:56.180 under HHS and we paid people sponsors they called them to take these children in and then those
00:01:03.800 sponsors were so corrupt that they were trafficking these children so that was happening under the
00:01:08.460 administration that we were actually the federal government was paying people who went out and
00:01:12.300 then trafficked these children who came across the border and were separated from their families so we
00:01:16.920 have since found over 150,000 of those children and relocated many of them and put them back with
00:01:24.600 their families and reunited them but we've got a lot more to find and they're continuing to use them
00:01:30.180 we've seen those numbers drop dramatically of new children that are being trafficked because of that secure
00:01:35.420 border and not allowing people to use those children to come across and facilitate if you remember the
00:01:40.840 policies was that if they had a child under age that whole group of individuals got to come in and not be
00:01:49.160 detained at all and so you saw many times the border patrol talking about the fact that they had
00:01:53.900 saw the same child being used by those mules moving different groups of people across crossing the border
00:02:01.380 multiple times knowing that if they had a child in the group and declared that they were a part of the
00:02:05.920 family or someone who's responsible for them that they could be immediately released into the interior
00:02:10.340 of the country that's why as soon as President Trump came into office and I became Homeland Security
00:02:15.060 Secretary we started using DNA testing again at the border so that we would know if that individual
00:02:20.320 that came to the border if they said that child was theirs we DNA tested them to make sure but people
00:02:26.560 quit coming to that border and quit trafficking those children because they knew no matter what they were
00:02:30.560 not going to be allowed to enter if they weren't coming legally. Yeah I mean to give you guys credit
00:02:34.800 55 year low the last time we saw numbers like this was 1970 within 12 months there was an 84% drop off
00:02:42.840 and it's amazing because when Vice President Kamala Harris was saying how difficult it was and how
00:02:49.280 you know challenging of a job it is it took you only a few months to get it done and they could
00:02:54.540 have done this the entire time and they didn't want to do it again you talked about a little bit earlier
00:02:57.840 but to me what sits at the top of everything for every family am I safe to have my kids go play
00:03:06.540 outside the day I can feel safe to let my kids play outside we have a very big problem that we got to
00:03:12.500 address and if we can't start it with illegal immigration here and especially our kids that's 0.90
00:03:18.760 an area where politics doesn't matter left right center nobody cares what political party you're
00:03:23.140 from when it comes down to their kids and you guys have done a great job with that and we look
