Verdict with Ted Cruz - Biden's Absurd Border Theatre

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.620 Guaranteed human.

00:00:04.580 So the president actually came to Texas

00:00:07.360 admitting there's a problem at the southern border.

00:00:10.020 Why now?

00:00:10.820 We're going to discuss it.

00:00:11.860 It's verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.

00:00:14.640 Senator, nice to be back with you in studio.

00:00:16.980 It's been a little bit since last year, literally.

00:00:19.360 It's a happy new year.

00:00:20.800 We haven't done a show in person

00:00:21.980 since before Christmas, before New Year's.

00:00:24.000 So Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.

00:00:26.120 Welcome to 2023.

00:00:27.300 It's already been so terribly dull.

00:00:29.160 Yeah, already dull.

00:00:30.580 We had this little speaker conversation

00:00:32.380 that happened for several days.

00:00:34.340 That was quite interesting.

00:00:35.660 Kind of makes you think,

00:00:36.460 what's week two going to look like?

00:00:38.020 Yeah, exactly right.

00:00:39.080 Yeah, it's going to be entertaining.

00:00:40.800 Can you believe the president of the United States of America

00:00:42.760 actually decided to come to Texas

00:00:44.820 and admit there's a crisis at the border

00:00:47.680 all at the same time?

00:00:49.420 Well, this is all political spin. 0.98

00:00:52.240 It's about damn time. 0.98

00:00:54.160 He should have been here at the outset. 0.98

00:00:55.860 Kamala Harris should have been here at the outset. 0.95

00:00:57.560 And this is a problem he created. 0.77

00:00:59.840 The hypocrisy Joe Biden is showing, 0.97

00:01:02.400 I have to say, 0.98

00:01:03.980 this trip to the border

00:01:05.520 is infuriating

00:01:08.200 because he still doesn't intend to fix the problem.

00:01:13.020 He doesn't care.

00:01:15.860 This is 100% politics.

00:01:17.820 This is 100% optics.

00:01:19.560 This is to get

00:01:20.680 his lapdogs in the corporate media 0.88

00:01:23.220 just to say, 0.96

00:01:24.840 oh, now,

00:01:25.340 now the border's fine.

00:01:26.680 Oh,

00:01:27.160 oh,

00:01:27.460 magically it's fixed.

00:01:28.320 It wasn't a problem yesterday,

00:01:29.560 but today it's magically fixed.

00:01:31.560 It's all a lie.

00:01:33.000 He doesn't intend to change anything.

00:01:35.640 If he cared,

00:01:36.780 he wouldn't just go to El Paso.

00:01:39.380 He'd come to the Rio Grande Valley.

00:01:41.580 If he cared,

00:01:43.000 he'd sit down with farmers

00:01:44.780 and ranchers in Texas

00:01:46.320 and he'd look at photograph

00:01:48.620 after photograph

00:01:49.480 of dead bodies

00:01:50.520 that they find

00:01:51.740 on their farms,

00:01:52.740 on their ranches,

00:01:53.620 dead bodies,

00:01:54.360 pregnant women,

00:01:55.080 elderly people,

00:01:55.860 little children,

00:01:56.960 two-year-old children.

00:01:58.460 Last year,

00:01:59.140 over 800 people died

00:02:01.660 crossing the border illegally.

00:02:03.600 When I took 19 senators

00:02:05.040 down to the border,

00:02:05.800 we were out on the Rio Grande River.

00:02:07.660 We encountered a dead body

00:02:09.600 floating in the river.

00:02:10.760 He is literally creating

00:02:12.680 a line of body bags

00:02:14.820 and yet Joe Biden

00:02:16.200 can't be bothered

00:02:16.880 to look at the people

00:02:17.940 his policies are killing. 0.80

00:02:21.120 If he gave a damn, 0.80

00:02:23.420 he'd come to the Rio Grande Valley

00:02:24.860 and he'd come

00:02:25.560 to the Biden cages.

00:02:27.420 Democrats in the media

00:02:28.360 whined on and on and on

00:02:29.740 about Trump cages,

00:02:30.560 Trump cages,

00:02:31.100 Trump cages.

00:02:31.740 Created by Obama.

00:02:32.800 They were built by Obama, 0.98

00:02:34.260 which they never acknowledged,

00:02:36.260 and then they became bigger

00:02:37.220 and more full under Joe Biden.

00:02:38.960 Joe Biden won't acknowledge that.

00:02:40.220 He won't go and look

00:02:41.660 at the children

00:02:42.340 in the Joe Biden cages.

00:02:44.100 This is all about optics.

00:02:45.660 It's politics.

00:02:46.460 It's deceptive.

00:02:47.240 It's dishonest.

00:02:48.340 And it's infuriating

00:02:49.700 because here in the state of Texas,

00:02:51.680 we face the consequences

00:02:54.040 of these disastrous

00:02:56.120 political decisions.

00:02:57.160 There was real questions

00:02:58.260 before we didn't gain back

00:03:00.180 the Senate

00:03:00.540 about getting rid of Mayorkas, 1.00

00:03:02.140 impeaching Mayorkas. 1.00

00:03:03.340 He went on TV this past week

00:03:05.620 with a straight face

00:03:06.600 and said in a press conference,

00:03:08.680 the border is secure.

00:03:10.280 The border is secure.

00:03:11.740 The border is secure.

00:03:13.160 You know that's not true.

00:03:14.960 I know that's not true.

00:03:16.720 And if it was true,

00:03:18.240 the White House

00:03:19.020 wouldn't have come out

00:03:19.780 with their new,

00:03:20.440 I call it,

00:03:21.400 flimsy list

00:03:22.260 about securing the border

00:03:23.220 while they're saying

00:03:24.080 that the border is secure.

00:03:25.860 So which one is it?

00:03:26.780 And if you look at this list,

00:03:28.100 and I want to throw it up here,

00:03:29.420 and we'll go through this

00:03:30.300 for people,

00:03:31.280 Senator,

00:03:31.560 they're listening

00:03:32.020 in the audio version

00:03:33.060 only of this.

00:03:33.880 But the White House plan

00:03:34.960 to curb migrant crisis,

00:03:36.140 which they say

00:03:36.820 isn't a crisis,

00:03:37.680 but now it is,

00:03:38.860 is new consequences

00:03:40.020 for illegal immigration,

00:03:41.680 surging resources

00:03:42.740 to help secure the border,

00:03:44.680 disrupting criminal

00:03:45.900 smuggling networks.

00:03:47.020 I don't know

00:03:47.580 what that means.

00:03:48.740 Additional support

00:03:49.540 for border communities

00:03:50.480 and use the CBP1 app

00:03:53.940 to make asylum claims.

00:03:55.520 So basically they're saying,

00:03:56.840 we're going to fix this

00:03:57.800 on a cell phone

00:03:58.520 with an app.

00:03:59.800 Well, it's worse than that.

00:04:01.200 So new consequences

00:04:02.080 for illegal immigration.

00:04:03.740 Their view of illegal immigration

00:04:05.540 is it's a good thing

00:04:06.620 that people have a right

00:04:07.920 to come here illegally.

00:04:09.780 That means apparently

00:04:10.760 people have a right

00:04:11.600 to be physically

00:04:12.260 and sexually assaulted.

00:04:13.380 Children have a right

00:04:14.060 to be physically

00:04:14.600 and sexually assaulted 0.99

00:04:15.420 by the cartels. 0.93

00:04:17.180 And like, for example,

00:04:18.400 their second point

00:04:19.000 on the surging resources

00:04:20.340 to help secure the border.

00:04:22.300 Look, it's one thing

00:04:23.240 when you say something

00:04:24.140 that's a misstatement.

00:04:25.580 It's another thing

00:04:26.340 where you deliberately lie.

00:04:28.540 We just saw

00:04:29.380 this disastrous

00:04:30.240 $1.7 trillion omnibus bill

00:04:32.380 written by Nancy Pelosi

00:04:33.820 and Chuck Schumer.

00:04:34.640 If you want to know

00:04:35.080 what the Democrats want,

00:04:36.620 look to that.

00:04:37.980 The omnibus explicitly said

00:04:39.960 the funds in this bill

00:04:42.040 cannot be used

00:04:43.900 to secure the border.

00:04:45.980 They wrote that into the law

00:04:47.800 that Joe Biden just signed.

00:04:49.000 So he puts out

00:04:50.060 a little pretty glossy

00:04:51.840 press release saying

00:04:52.780 we're surging resources

00:04:53.800 to help secure the border

00:04:54.760 except for the fact

00:04:55.960 that the Democrats

00:04:56.640 just wrote a law

00:04:57.540 saying none of these resources

00:04:59.340 can be used

00:04:59.980 to help secure the border.

00:05:01.020 And it was a lot of money.

00:05:01.920 It's a ton of money,

00:05:02.760 but what's it going

00:05:03.380 to be used to do?

00:05:04.960 Well, it's bullet point five.

00:05:07.460 Use CB1

00:05:08.460 app to make asylum claims.

00:05:10.280 This is all about

00:05:11.160 they want to release

00:05:12.740 people faster.

00:05:14.160 They want to put in place

00:05:15.620 the most efficient

00:05:16.460 logistical network

00:05:17.560 ever seen

00:05:18.360 where you cross illegally

00:05:19.820 and faster than you can say

00:05:22.180 Jiminy Cricket.

00:05:23.840 We're going to have you

00:05:24.700 located in the city

00:05:25.820 of your choice

00:05:26.480 across the country.

00:05:27.760 That's what this is about.

00:05:29.360 This is all about

00:05:30.720 we're going to get

00:05:32.280 even more efficient

00:05:34.020 that when these murderous

00:05:36.560 cartels

00:05:37.600 abandon people in the U.S.

00:05:40.960 The Joe Biden travel agent

00:05:42.580 new consequences

00:05:43.360 for illegal immigration.

00:05:44.440 What are they giving them?

00:05:45.100 A set of steak knives

00:05:46.020 and a brand new car?

00:05:47.260 Like the new consequences

00:05:48.380 are a Joe Biden t-shirt,

00:05:49.900 a membership of the DNC.

00:05:51.540 What are they giving?

00:05:52.540 Or maybe they're just

00:05:53.680 giving them an illegal handgun

00:05:54.900 to join a drug cartel

00:05:56.180 on the streets 0.99

00:05:56.760 and kill people 1.00

00:05:57.820 in your communities 1.00

00:05:58.540 because a lot of these kids

00:05:59.940 coming in owe

00:06:01.160 thousands upon thousands

00:06:02.520 of dollars

00:06:03.140 to the cartels.

00:06:05.020 This is all

00:06:06.000 I'm trying actually

00:06:09.660 not to convey

00:06:12.320 just how pissed off

00:06:13.600 I am at this

00:06:14.900 because this is a lie.

00:06:17.160 It's a brazen lie. 0.98

00:06:18.400 It's a shameless lie. 0.94

00:06:20.100 Biden knows it was a lie.

00:06:21.540 And by the way,

00:06:22.700 look, what was it

00:06:23.380 just a few weeks ago

00:06:24.440 when he was asked

00:06:25.060 if he was going to the border?

00:06:26.100 He says,

00:06:26.420 I got more important things to do.

00:06:28.060 Yeah.

00:06:28.700 Like literally he said that.

00:06:30.600 He said that.

00:06:31.260 He actually said,

00:06:32.260 I've got more important things to do.

00:06:33.920 Having the woman 0.99

00:06:34.800 who's supposed to be in charge

00:06:35.920 of the border issue,

00:06:37.240 Kamala Harris,

00:06:38.000 how many times

00:06:38.560 has she called you

00:06:39.340 as a senator from Texas

00:06:40.440 to come down

00:06:41.440 and see this state, right?

00:06:42.940 She doesn't come.

00:06:44.060 She doesn't come.

00:06:45.460 She has not been

00:06:46.920 to the Rio Grande Valley.

00:06:48.080 She has not seen

00:06:48.880 the Joe Biden cages.

00:06:50.040 She has not seen

00:06:51.780 the misery and suffering.

00:06:54.500 And look,

00:06:55.100 Can I ask you a question

00:06:56.000 for people that don't understand

00:06:56.800 the logistics of the state?

00:06:58.220 He's coming to El Paso.

00:06:59.460 This is realistically

00:07:00.260 going to be an El Paso

00:07:01.240 airport visit.

00:07:02.400 Yep.

00:07:02.860 The Rio Grande Valley

00:07:03.780 you've mentioned

00:07:04.280 three or four times.

00:07:05.140 If you live in Texas,

00:07:06.220 you understand that, right?

00:07:07.720 Where it is,

00:07:08.720 why it's important.

00:07:10.240 Explain why the Rio Grande Valley

00:07:11.980 is the center point

00:07:12.920 of this.

00:07:14.060 It's the choke point

00:07:16.520 of if you wanted

00:07:17.480 to stop illegal immigration,

00:07:19.100 this is the most important

00:07:21.040 area to the cartels.

00:07:22.640 Let people understand

00:07:24.040 what it is.

00:07:25.260 All right.

00:07:25.480 So Texas geographically

00:07:27.140 is a massive state.

00:07:29.060 Texas is larger

00:07:31.760 than the entire country

00:07:32.780 of France.

00:07:34.160 It's huge.

00:07:36.100 America's entire

00:07:36.940 southern border

00:07:37.600 is about 2,000 miles.

00:07:39.580 Of those 2,000 miles,

00:07:41.640 1,200 of them

00:07:42.680 are the state of Texas.

00:07:43.720 So more than half

00:07:44.460 of our southern border

00:07:45.260 is the state of Texas.

00:07:46.840 Wow.

00:07:47.080 And that,

00:07:48.060 it is the Rio Grande River

00:07:49.260 and it runs,

00:07:50.540 the southern border

00:07:51.400 runs from Brownsville,

00:07:52.740 which is at the southern tip

00:07:53.920 of Texas,

00:07:54.660 right on the Gulf of Mexico,

00:07:56.780 all the way up

00:07:58.180 to El Paso,

00:07:59.520 which is the western tip

00:08:00.600 of Texas.

00:08:01.780 Now,

00:08:02.740 the Rio Grande Valley

00:08:03.860 is down near

00:08:04.540 the southern tip.

00:08:05.240 It's just in

00:08:06.380 from the southern tip.

00:08:07.820 It has been

00:08:08.920 the epicenter

00:08:09.720 of the worst

00:08:10.540 of this crisis.

00:08:11.460 It is where you've seen

00:08:13.080 thousands upon thousands

00:08:15.080 of children.

00:08:15.880 It's where you've seen

00:08:16.920 the worst.

00:08:17.660 It's where the cages are.

00:08:18.780 Right.

00:08:19.120 It's where Biden's cages are.

00:08:20.180 It's where the Biden cages are

00:08:22.020 is they're in the Rio Grande Valley.

00:08:23.560 Is that where AOC

00:08:24.120 actually cried?

00:08:25.320 Yes.

00:08:25.620 Okay.

00:08:26.300 I don't know,

00:08:26.640 but those were the Trump cages.

00:08:28.060 Yeah.

00:08:28.380 Same cages.

00:08:29.060 Actually, no,

00:08:29.780 not same cages.

00:08:31.020 Bigger cages.

00:08:32.680 AOC won't cry.

00:08:34.220 So that's the Rio Grande Valley.

00:08:37.760 You've got further west,

00:08:39.860 you've got Del Rio.

00:08:40.800 Del Rio is where you've seen

00:08:42.380 massive influx

00:08:43.960 of Haitian illegal immigrants.

00:08:45.940 It's where you've got a bridge

00:08:47.340 where in one day

00:08:49.660 you had 10,000 to 15,000

00:08:51.920 illegal immigrants crossing.

00:08:53.540 I went there.

00:08:54.440 I filmed it

00:08:54.980 and put out the video

00:08:55.960 of the Del Rio.

00:08:57.280 And by the way,

00:08:57.820 Del Rio is a town

00:08:58.700 that's about 30,000 people.

00:09:00.360 Yeah.

00:09:00.580 So you need to understand

00:09:01.700 in a day

00:09:02.780 you've got 50%

00:09:04.000 of the population

00:09:04.840 of the town

00:09:05.800 coming across.

00:09:08.280 Martha's Vineyard

00:09:09.040 lost their mind

00:09:10.240 when 50 illegal immigrants 0.95

00:09:11.640 showed up

00:09:12.200 in their lily-white environments.

00:09:13.920 Texas border towns

00:09:15.560 are seeing

00:09:16.300 unbelievable influxes.

00:09:18.680 So where is El Paso?

00:09:19.640 El Paso is all the way

00:09:20.580 at the western end of Texas.

00:09:23.100 El Paso is 800 miles away

00:09:25.000 from the Rio Grande Valley.

00:09:26.500 To put that in perspective,

00:09:28.400 Chicago

00:09:28.920 is closer to Washington, D.C.

00:09:32.500 than El Paso is

00:09:34.240 to the Rio Grande Valley.

00:09:35.260 That's how far away

00:09:36.140 he is from the epicenter

00:09:37.120 of what he says

00:09:38.060 he needs to see

00:09:38.880 and look at.

00:09:39.500 The whole point of coming here.

00:09:40.600 Now, ironically,

00:09:41.660 so Kamala Harris

00:09:43.680 was ostensibly named

00:09:44.900 the border czar

00:09:45.720 and then she proceeded

00:09:46.440 to do absolutely nothing

00:09:47.480 to address the problem.

00:09:48.520 And really,

00:09:48.940 the reason she was named

00:09:49.720 border czar

00:09:50.320 is because Biden

00:09:51.480 and his cronies

00:09:52.120 hate Kamala Harris 0.88

00:09:52.940 and they know 0.99

00:09:53.440 that this is a stinking mess. 0.81

00:09:55.300 So let's blame Kamala for it. 1.00

00:09:57.440 So they named her.

00:09:58.380 She promptly,

00:09:59.020 when she's border czar,

00:09:59.940 said,

00:10:00.200 I'm not going to go to the border.

00:10:01.000 I'm not going to go to the border.

00:10:01.760 I'm not going to go to the border.

00:10:02.480 Then finally,

00:10:02.920 she said, 0.99

00:10:03.180 oh crap, 0.98

00:10:03.860 if I'm border czar, 1.00

00:10:04.460 maybe I should go to the border.

00:10:05.300 Where'd she go?

00:10:06.160 El Paso.

00:10:06.780 Why?

00:10:07.760 Because of the places

00:10:08.660 on the border,

00:10:09.340 El Paso was the best

00:10:10.740 of the major areas.

00:10:12.060 And so she went there,

00:10:12.900 did a photo op,

00:10:13.960 made sure not to actually show

00:10:15.580 any of the people suffering,

00:10:16.940 any of the children being abused,

00:10:18.340 any of the women being raped,

00:10:19.680 any of the people being killed,

00:10:21.220 made sure not to show the drugs,

00:10:22.840 made sure not to show the disaster,

00:10:25.160 but just a pretty photo op

00:10:26.400 of seeing it great.

00:10:28.580 What's interesting

00:10:29.320 is things have gotten so bad

00:10:30.620 that even El Paso

00:10:31.420 is really hurting.

00:10:32.160 El Paso is a wonderful

00:10:32.980 city,

00:10:33.480 but El Paso's mayor,

00:10:35.820 who's a Democrat,

00:10:37.220 has declared an emergency.

00:10:39.140 He's begging for help

00:10:40.220 and resources.

00:10:41.020 He's because,

00:10:42.620 and things have changed

00:10:44.160 in El Paso

00:10:44.860 from when Kamala Harris

00:10:45.780 was there.

00:10:46.160 When Kamala came to El Paso,

00:10:47.900 things were relatively better

00:10:49.220 because it was the Rio Grande Valley

00:10:50.720 that was getting slammed.

00:10:51.620 It was Del Rio

00:10:51.980 that was getting slammed

00:10:52.760 and El Paso

00:10:53.440 had a significantly less volume.

00:10:56.020 The volume has increased

00:10:57.040 so much in El Paso

00:10:58.160 that El Paso

00:11:00.080 is hurting as well.

00:11:00.920 Now,

00:11:01.060 I'm assuming

00:11:01.680 that

00:11:02.980 Biden has,

00:11:05.160 Biden doesn't intend

00:11:05.940 to do anything

00:11:06.460 to fix this.

00:11:07.860 He would disagree.

00:11:08.900 I want to play this clip

00:11:09.660 for you

00:11:09.940 because he would disagree

00:11:11.120 with you on that.

00:11:12.360 This is the,

00:11:13.100 like,

00:11:13.360 the moment,

00:11:14.180 right?

00:11:14.400 We're going to war. 0.85

00:11:15.800 Look at what

00:11:16.420 the White House is saying.

00:11:17.700 It's clear that immigration 1.00

00:11:18.680 is a political issue

00:11:19.860 that extreme Republicans

00:11:21.320 are always going to run on.

00:11:22.900 But we need more resources

00:11:24.240 to secure the border.

00:11:25.940 Yet again,

00:11:26.580 extreme Republicans

00:11:27.380 have said no.

00:11:28.200 The Republicans

00:11:28.620 haven't been serious

00:11:29.260 about this at all.

00:11:30.680 They're blaming you.

00:11:32.700 They're blaming Republicans.

00:11:34.500 Same guy that says

00:11:35.280 we need more resources

00:11:36.180 that says you can't

00:11:37.080 secure the border

00:11:37.840 with the money

00:11:38.380 that was just passed

00:11:39.200 for this fiscal year

00:11:40.820 and this omnibus spending bill

00:11:42.060 that just went through

00:11:42.780 that you tried to stop

00:11:43.920 and say have a CR,

00:11:45.940 have a new Congress vote on it,

00:11:47.520 and now he's trying

00:11:48.500 to look at you

00:11:49.100 and say no, no, no,

00:11:49.700 it's your fault, 0.61

00:11:50.680 Senator Ted Cruz

00:11:51.340 and every other Republican

00:11:52.360 down there.

00:11:53.120 You guys let this happen.

00:11:54.700 Look,

00:11:54.980 those are just deliberate lies

00:11:56.420 and they're brazen lies.

00:12:00.180 As you noted,

00:12:01.240 the Democrat bill

00:12:02.080 that Pelosi and Schumer wrote

00:12:03.360 explicitly prohibits funds

00:12:04.940 from being spent

00:12:05.580 to secure the border.

00:12:06.780 Joe Biden signed it.

00:12:07.760 That's what the Biden

00:12:08.360 White House wants.

00:12:09.660 In the last two years,

00:12:10.700 I've forced vote

00:12:11.620 after vote after vote

00:12:12.620 on the Senate floor

00:12:13.480 of let's direct funds

00:12:14.780 to secure the border.

00:12:15.960 The Democrats' party line

00:12:17.060 have voted against them

00:12:17.840 over and over and over again.

00:12:19.060 You know what the Democrats

00:12:19.660 did vote to do?

00:12:21.100 Give millions of dollars

00:12:22.200 of stimulus payments

00:12:23.120 to illegal aliens.

00:12:24.060 Joe Biden happily signed that.

00:12:25.860 Democrats' party line

00:12:27.260 voted to send millions of dollars

00:12:29.220 of stimulus payments

00:12:30.160 to illegal aliens.

00:12:30.920 the dishonesty.

00:12:31.920 The dishonesty.

00:12:33.900 And by the way,

00:12:34.740 the claim,

00:12:35.400 you know,

00:12:35.660 Republicans,

00:12:36.420 they're not serious.

00:12:37.160 They don't want

00:12:37.520 to secure the border.

00:12:39.300 The last year

00:12:40.300 of Trump's presidency,

00:12:41.840 we had the lowest rate

00:12:44.800 of illegal immigration

00:12:46.020 in 45 years.

00:12:49.140 The next year,

00:12:50.800 when Joe Biden

00:12:51.620 became president,

00:12:53.020 it went from the lowest

00:12:54.480 in 45 years

00:12:55.580 to the highest

00:12:56.700 in 62 years.

00:12:57.940 It flipped overnight.

00:13:00.180 And then he said,

00:13:00.960 I'll one-up that

00:13:02.020 from 2021 to 2022.

00:13:03.620 2022 is worse.

00:13:04.480 Where it was even worse,

00:13:05.480 which means you did it deliberately.

00:13:07.420 Well,

00:13:07.960 so it's a weird example.

00:13:09.940 I'm not necessarily

00:13:10.960 going to say Joe Biden

00:13:11.880 did it deliberately.

00:13:12.880 A, I'm not sure

00:13:13.480 he does anything deliberately,

00:13:14.820 including putting on his pants

00:13:15.900 and tying his shoes.

00:13:17.280 I think his mental acuity

00:13:18.880 is so badly diminished.

00:13:21.920 I think what happened,

00:13:23.760 today's Democrat party

00:13:25.020 is a collection

00:13:26.080 of interest groups.

00:13:26.980 and it's a collection

00:13:28.680 of radical interest groups.

00:13:30.240 So on any particular issue,

00:13:32.320 you know,

00:13:33.440 when Democrats nominate

00:13:35.460 as Joe Biden has,

00:13:36.820 not one, not two,

00:13:37.820 but three of the leading advocates

00:13:39.080 of abolishing the police

00:13:40.460 to be senior officials

00:13:42.360 at the U.S. Department of Justice,

00:13:44.340 a rational Democrat,

00:13:45.720 if such a thing

00:13:46.500 existed anymore in Washington,

00:13:48.940 they exist in America,

00:13:49.980 but they don't exist

00:13:50.780 in Washington.

00:13:52.900 A rational Democrat would say,

00:13:54.480 gosh, why are Democrats

00:13:55.740 nominating some of the

00:13:58.360 leading advocates

00:13:58.980 of abolishing the police

00:14:00.100 to senior positions?

00:14:01.100 It's because the Democrat party

00:14:02.980 has handed their agenda

00:14:04.480 over to the radicals.

00:14:05.480 So on law and justice issues,

00:14:07.440 it's the abolish the police crowd

00:14:08.900 that sets the agenda.

00:14:10.520 On gender issues, 0.84

00:14:12.260 it's the most radical transgender, 0.99

00:14:14.320 let's have a drag show 0.99

00:14:15.560 for seven-year-olds.

00:14:17.340 That's who sets the agenda.

00:14:19.220 I mean, look at, you know,

00:14:20.640 Joe Biden's appointee,

00:14:23.660 you know, the dude

00:14:24.740 who keeps stealing luggage.

00:14:25.740 Stealing luggage, yeah.

00:14:26.340 He would have loved

00:14:26.860 what happened

00:14:27.160 with Southwest last week.

00:14:28.240 Okay, by the way,

00:14:28.980 I saw the funniest thing

00:14:30.400 on Twitter.

00:14:31.720 On Twitter, you know,

00:14:33.200 lots of folks

00:14:33.840 were criticizing Zelensky

00:14:35.080 for being in his green sweatshirt

00:14:36.980 when he spoke to Congress.

00:14:38.960 And somebody tweeted,

00:14:40.480 said, look, to be fair,

00:14:42.600 don't blame Zelensky

00:14:44.640 for not wearing a suit

00:14:46.200 when he spoke to Congress.

00:14:48.200 An official from

00:14:49.160 the Biden administration

00:14:50.080 stole his luggage.

00:14:51.440 It's a pretty accurate assessment

00:14:53.860 of exactly that entire scenario.

00:14:55.660 But look, you think about it.

00:14:56.840 It's a quota-filling thing.

00:14:58.240 That's what they've done

00:14:58.820 in serious positions

00:14:59.760 and serious jobs.

00:15:00.540 It's quota-filling,

00:15:01.480 but it's also on every issue.

00:15:03.780 If you were a James Carville

00:15:05.860 of the world who said, you know,

00:15:07.380 we got to abandon this woke stuff.

00:15:09.160 I mean, he's someone

00:15:10.100 who actually wants Democrats

00:15:11.120 to win elections.

00:15:12.080 Yeah.

00:15:12.300 On every issue, 0.80

00:15:16.100 the crazies in their party 0.97

00:15:18.200 set the agenda. 0.89

00:15:19.200 So on immigration,

00:15:20.780 what happened is

00:15:23.020 they have let the true

00:15:25.160 open-border radicals

00:15:26.980 set the agenda.

00:15:28.980 And so Biden caused this crisis.

00:15:31.720 He caused it

00:15:32.260 by three specific decisions

00:15:33.820 all made the very first week

00:15:35.240 he was in office.

00:15:36.180 First week in office,

00:15:37.680 he immediately halted

00:15:38.660 construction of the border wall.

00:15:40.140 First week in office,

00:15:41.100 he immediately reinstated

00:15:42.800 catch and release

00:15:43.660 where now when they apprehend you,

00:15:45.240 they give you a court date

00:15:46.200 sometime in the future,

00:15:47.060 they let you go

00:15:47.680 and you're never seen again

00:15:48.520 and you stay here forever.

00:15:49.360 And they may even give you

00:15:49.520 a cell phone.

00:15:50.040 Yeah.

00:15:50.940 And the third thing

00:15:51.720 he did that first week in office

00:15:53.080 is he ended

00:15:53.880 the incredibly successful

00:15:55.360 remain in Mexico policy,

00:15:57.120 which had reduced

00:15:59.120 illegal immigration

00:15:59.960 to the lowest rate

00:16:00.680 in 45 years.

00:16:01.460 So when Biden says

00:16:02.500 Republicans aren't

00:16:03.520 serious about this,

00:16:05.600 he knows he's lying.

00:16:07.980 Now, I will say

00:16:08.620 there have been reports

00:16:10.000 that Biden is really pissed

00:16:12.620 the border's all screwed up.

00:16:13.920 But he's not pissed substantively.

00:16:15.720 He's not pissed

00:16:16.580 about the lives being destroyed.

00:16:18.660 He's pissed that it's become

00:16:19.640 a political issue.

00:16:20.520 He's pissed that,

00:16:21.820 gosh, this is kind of a mess

00:16:23.460 and even though 0.73

00:16:24.080 my little lapdogs 0.87

00:16:25.300 in the media 0.78

00:16:25.760 are not reporting on it much,

00:16:27.360 some people know

00:16:28.240 how bad a mess this is.

00:16:31.200 I think when he did

00:16:32.720 those decisions

00:16:33.440 the first week,

00:16:35.280 you know,

00:16:35.520 did Joe Biden

00:16:36.380 affirmatively know

00:16:37.420 I'm going to create

00:16:38.020 the worst illegal immigration 1.00

00:16:39.160 in history?

00:16:40.700 Probably not.

00:16:42.460 I think it was Trump

00:16:43.380 was for it.

00:16:43.940 Therefore, I'm against it.

00:16:45.120 And it was

00:16:46.220 today's Democrat Party

00:16:47.940 is a collection

00:16:49.160 of extreme interest groups

00:16:50.700 on any given issue.

00:16:51.700 So on immigration,

00:16:52.740 it's the open borders radical

00:16:54.560 radicals on law and order.

00:16:56.360 It's the abolish

00:16:57.020 the police radicals

00:16:58.020 on gender. 0.94

00:16:59.000 It's the extreme transgender, 1.00

00:17:01.480 you know, 0.97

00:17:02.400 go after kids radicals.

00:17:03.900 It's on every issue.

00:17:06.660 There's not a middle

00:17:07.620 in the Democrat Party

00:17:08.700 in Washington.

00:17:10.400 But I think some of the people

00:17:11.940 in Washington

00:17:12.560 were surprised

00:17:13.680 and some of the people

00:17:14.400 in the White House,

00:17:15.520 they did not understand

00:17:16.980 if you talk

00:17:17.980 to Customs and Border Patrol

00:17:19.860 and I have.

00:17:20.660 Look, we have had

00:17:21.400 the head of the Customs

00:17:22.980 and Border Patrol Union

00:17:23.900 here on this podcast.

00:17:26.580 You want to stop

00:17:27.200 illegal immigration?

00:17:28.600 The number one thing

00:17:29.660 you can do

00:17:30.100 to stop illegal immigration 0.90

00:17:31.240 is end catch and release.

00:17:32.800 As long as Joe Biden

00:17:34.360 orders the Border Patrol,

00:17:35.860 when you catch someone,

00:17:36.740 let them go,

00:17:37.660 it will remain a crisis

00:17:39.000 and no amount

00:17:39.740 of PowerPoints,

00:17:40.540 no amount of press conferences

00:17:41.840 will fix it

00:17:43.320 because people behave

00:17:45.900 according to incentives.

00:17:47.400 And if you know,

00:17:48.040 if you come here,

00:17:49.120 you can stay.

00:17:50.360 More people will come illegally 0.99

00:17:51.760 and more people

00:17:52.420 will be abused 0.99

00:17:53.180 and raped 1.00

00:17:53.700 and assaulted 1.00

00:17:54.280 and killed. 1.00

00:17:55.760 Canadian women 0.98

00:17:56.600 are looking for more,

00:17:57.920 more out of themselves,

00:17:58.980 their businesses,

00:17:59.920 their elected leaders

00:18:00.700 and the world around them.

00:18:02.100 And that's why we're thrilled

00:18:03.060 to introduce

00:18:03.700 the Honest Talk podcast.

00:18:12.700 artists,

00:18:13.340 athletes,

00:18:13.960 politicians,

00:18:14.620 and newsmakers,

00:18:15.540 all at different stages

00:18:16.600 of their journey.

00:18:17.680 So if you're looking

00:18:23.340 or wherever you listen

00:18:24.320 to your podcasts.

00:18:26.260 I want to tell everybody

00:18:27.360 about our amazing sponsor,

00:18:28.860 Patriot Mobile.

00:18:29.800 If you've got a cell phone

00:18:30.860 and 99% of Americans do,

00:18:33.100 how would you like to know

00:18:34.340 that with every phone call

00:18:35.520 you make,

00:18:36.260 you're supporting

00:18:36.780 conservative causes?

00:18:38.680 Well, that's what

00:18:39.240 Patriot Mobile does.

00:18:40.340 And they use the same cell towers

00:18:42.100 that you're on right now,

00:18:43.160 meaning you get the same

00:18:44.380 exact coverage

00:18:45.260 that you're getting right now.

00:18:47.540 Patriot Mobile

00:18:48.260 is America's only 0.71

00:18:49.260 Christian conservative

00:18:50.340 mobile phone provider.

00:18:52.260 They are a force

00:18:53.220 for conservative values.

00:18:55.040 Why?

00:18:55.500 Because they take a portion

00:18:56.540 of every bill that you pay

00:18:58.000 and they fund conservative causes,

00:19:00.580 candidates,

00:19:01.000 and organizations

00:19:01.720 that believe

00:19:02.880 in the sanctity of life,

00:19:04.880 freedom of speech,

00:19:06.240 and the Second Amendment,

00:19:07.600 and they're winning.

00:19:08.580 If you're ready

00:19:09.700 to have your dollars matter

00:19:11.500 when you're paying a bill,

00:19:13.040 switch to Patriot Mobile.

00:19:14.820 They can save you money

00:19:16.300 over what you're paying right now.

00:19:17.880 They can save you

00:19:18.980 and your family money

00:19:19.800 and they even can save

00:19:21.340 your business

00:19:22.100 or small business money

00:19:23.160 because they have

00:19:23.780 an entire section

00:19:24.860 of the business

00:19:25.320 that's just dedicated

00:19:26.280 to businesses.

00:19:27.720 They offer the same

00:19:28.920 nationwide coverage

00:19:29.760 as all the other

00:19:30.860 major carriers,

00:19:31.940 but the difference is

00:19:32.900 you actually get to stand up

00:19:34.860 for what you believe in

00:19:35.820 every time you pay that bill.

00:19:56.320 VERDICT.

00:19:57.840 When people come

00:19:58.780 across the border,

00:19:59.440 I've witnessed it being

00:20:00.400 down in the Rio Grande Valley.

00:20:01.600 You've witnessed it.

00:20:02.720 They're now told

00:20:03.620 to seek out

00:20:04.720 Border Patrol.

00:20:06.580 They explain to them,

00:20:08.120 as soon as you get over there,

00:20:09.300 go to them

00:20:10.260 because then you're in.

00:20:12.320 And this is not theoretical.

00:20:14.080 Look, Corrine Jean-Pierre

00:20:15.120 a few months ago

00:20:15.880 said people are not

00:20:17.480 just walking across

00:20:18.220 the border.

00:20:18.680 It's not happening.

00:20:19.900 Now, that was another

00:20:20.680 brazen lie.

00:20:21.600 And by the way,

00:20:22.140 Joe Biden carries

00:20:22.900 responsibility for that.

00:20:24.000 That was done in the White House

00:20:25.120 at the White House podium

00:20:26.020 with the White House seal

00:20:26.860 in front of her.

00:20:28.060 That means she was lying

00:20:29.580 on his behalf.

00:20:30.600 As I said on this podcast

00:20:32.260 immediately following,

00:20:33.900 you're lying to the

00:20:34.720 Washington Press Corps

00:20:35.500 of the American people

00:20:36.340 and it's an easily

00:20:37.060 disprovable lie.

00:20:38.000 It's not like it's

00:20:38.580 a sneaky, clever one.

00:20:39.680 Ooh, this is a lie

00:20:40.640 you'll get away with.

00:20:42.860 I invited her down.

00:20:44.280 You know what?

00:20:45.140 I'm going to extend

00:20:45.940 an invitation right now.

00:20:48.300 President Biden,

00:20:49.220 I'm glad you finally

00:20:50.780 came to the border.

00:20:52.220 I'm glad you finally

00:20:53.260 came to Texas.

00:20:55.020 Mr. President,

00:20:56.220 your press secretary

00:20:57.440 lied on behalf

00:20:59.220 of the White House.

00:20:59.860 You've lied on behalf 0.95

00:21:00.660 of the White House.

00:21:01.600 Mr. President,

00:21:02.300 I want to invite you

00:21:03.380 come to the Rio Grande Valley.

00:21:05.580 Come with me out

00:21:06.380 any evening.

00:21:08.240 Let's spend an hour

00:21:09.140 out on midnight patrol

00:21:10.220 with the Border Patrol

00:21:10.960 who works for you

00:21:11.860 and just see

00:21:14.220 what's happening

00:21:15.780 because if you go out

00:21:17.140 at midnight

00:21:17.640 or if you go out

00:21:18.240 at one in the morning

00:21:18.940 or you go out

00:21:19.380 at two in the morning,

00:21:20.180 you go out

00:21:20.480 at three in the morning,

00:21:21.920 you will not have

00:21:23.420 to search for people

00:21:24.580 crossing illegally.

00:21:26.000 They'll come find you.

00:21:26.900 It is a constant

00:21:28.140 stream of humanity.

00:21:29.660 They will come find you.

00:21:31.320 Groups of children,

00:21:32.560 women who've been brutalized, 0.94

00:21:34.060 they're usually carrying

00:21:35.460 a baggie

00:21:36.160 with some identification

00:21:39.800 in it

00:21:40.480 and a phone number

00:21:41.920 of someone in the United States

00:21:43.240 because they know

00:21:44.040 that Joe Biden

00:21:44.680 and Kamala Harris

00:21:45.440 are the last mile

00:21:46.380 of the Human Trafficking Network

00:21:47.740 and that they'll call

00:21:49.800 that number

00:21:50.300 and within days

00:21:51.340 they'll be with

00:21:51.980 someone they know

00:21:54.280 in the United States

00:21:54.980 who's here.

00:21:55.920 And they go

00:21:56.700 affirmatively find

00:21:57.800 the Border Patrol.

00:21:58.820 I've been down there

00:21:59.980 and had multiple groups

00:22:01.340 of illegal immigrants 0.94

00:22:02.060 turn themselves into me.

00:22:03.160 They look for the first American 1.00

00:22:05.220 they can find

00:22:05.840 to turn themselves in

00:22:06.820 because they know

00:22:07.880 Joe Biden will get them

00:22:09.180 where they want to go.

00:22:10.000 He's caused this

00:22:11.160 and Mr. President,

00:22:12.540 let me also invite you

00:22:13.340 to come to the Biden cages.

00:22:15.240 They've been named after you.

00:22:16.800 You ought to at least

00:22:17.720 see the children

00:22:19.140 who are suffering.

00:22:20.260 And by the way,

00:22:20.820 Mr. President,

00:22:21.260 I want to invite you

00:22:21.800 to come to Brooks County.

00:22:23.500 Where's Brooks County?

00:22:24.420 Brooks County

00:22:24.920 is just north of the border.

00:22:25.980 It's not right on the border.

00:22:26.920 It's just north of it.

00:22:28.840 Brooks County,

00:22:29.580 year after year,

00:22:30.520 they have dead body

00:22:31.300 after dead body

00:22:32.040 after dead body 0.97

00:22:32.840 because the illegal immigrants 0.99

00:22:33.940 go through the hot,

00:22:35.720 brutal Texas summer

00:22:37.060 and they die on those ranches.

00:22:39.200 And Brooks County

00:22:39.880 is not a wealthy county.

00:22:41.680 They faced enormous costs,

00:22:43.780 literally dealing with

00:22:44.980 the disposal

00:22:46.520 of human remains.

00:22:49.440 I have a friend of mine

00:22:50.160 who has a ranch

00:22:50.700 down on the southern border

00:22:51.660 who told me just last week

00:22:52.960 they found another dead body

00:22:55.280 on his ranch.

00:22:55.880 This is an absolute crisis.

00:23:02.440 And if the president

00:23:03.560 cared at all,

00:23:05.860 he would want to see that.

00:23:07.820 That's what a responsible

00:23:08.980 president would do.

00:23:10.580 See the human misery,

00:23:12.540 the suffering,

00:23:13.700 the assault.

00:23:15.100 You know,

00:23:15.360 I'm curious

00:23:15.960 and I don't think

00:23:16.840 any reporters ever asked him

00:23:18.160 if Joe Biden

00:23:20.620 knows about the wristbands.

00:23:22.440 So when you're down

00:23:23.260 on the banks

00:23:23.700 of the Rio Grande Valley,

00:23:24.520 when I was last there,

00:23:25.440 I brought a group

00:23:25.940 of senators there.

00:23:27.840 You look down

00:23:28.720 in the grass

00:23:29.300 and you see

00:23:30.400 colored wristbands,

00:23:32.200 just hundreds of them,

00:23:33.680 thousands of them.

00:23:35.440 The wristbands,

00:23:36.460 just about every illegal

00:23:37.200 immigrant who comes

00:23:38.040 wears one

00:23:38.740 and the color corresponds

00:23:40.020 to how many thousands

00:23:41.000 of dollars

00:23:41.600 they owe the cartels.

00:23:44.300 And when they come in,

00:23:45.540 they are effectively

00:23:46.180 slaves to the cartels.

00:23:48.140 So many of the young boys

00:23:49.500 who Joe Biden

00:23:50.160 flies to every city

00:23:51.340 in America,

00:23:52.560 many of the 15,

00:23:53.700 16,

00:23:54.000 17-year-old boys

00:23:55.200 become gang members

00:23:56.120 working for the cartels

00:23:57.700 because they owe

00:23:58.840 $3,000, $4,000, $5,000

00:23:59.760 to the cartels

00:24:00.680 and if they don't pay

00:24:01.280 that debt off,

00:24:02.440 the cartels will kill 1.00

00:24:03.540 their families. 0.98

00:24:05.200 So Joe Biden

00:24:05.980 is putting foot soldiers,

00:24:07.280 putting criminals,

00:24:08.120 putting gang members

00:24:09.020 in every city in America.

00:24:10.420 Fentanyl dealers

00:24:10.940 who are killing our kids. 0.82

00:24:13.060 And the girls

00:24:13.940 have it even worse.

00:24:15.640 Thousands upon thousands

00:24:16.940 of teenage girls

00:24:18.000 because of Joe Biden,

00:24:19.380 because of Kamala Harris,

00:24:20.580 are finding themselves

00:24:21.860 trapped in sex slavery

00:24:23.320 where they're 0.88

00:24:24.480 in forced prostitution

00:24:26.040 because they owe

00:24:27.840 thousands of dollars

00:24:28.580 to the cartel

00:24:29.260 because they were wearing,

00:24:30.660 I look at these

00:24:31.520 yellow bracelets

00:24:33.900 as the modern-day

00:24:36.600 leg irons

00:24:37.660 of 21st century slavery

00:24:41.300 because if you're

00:24:43.540 a 15,

00:24:44.280 16-year-old girl

00:24:45.300 from Honduras,

00:24:46.160 you've looked north,

00:24:47.020 you dream of freedom

00:24:48.300 in America.

00:24:49.460 and six months later,

00:24:52.000 you are trapped

00:24:53.240 in a brothel 0.99

00:24:54.860 in forced sex slavery 0.50

00:24:57.960 run by brutal cartels 0.99

00:24:59.900 who brutalize you.

00:25:02.700 You're living in hell 0.99

00:25:04.060 and that hell 0.98

00:25:06.500 is Joe Biden's fault.

00:25:07.540 He could stop it.

00:25:08.680 He caused it,

00:25:09.700 number one,

00:25:10.320 and he could stop it,

00:25:11.600 number two.

00:25:13.280 I don't know

00:25:14.060 if Joe Biden

00:25:14.620 ever knows that.

00:25:15.320 I don't think anyone

00:25:15.820 around him

00:25:16.220 has ever told him that.

00:25:17.020 I know no one

00:25:17.680 in the press

00:25:18.120 has ever bothered

00:25:18.620 to tell him that.

00:25:19.720 So there are certain

00:25:20.820 things in your career

00:25:21.580 that you see,

00:25:22.680 especially when you're

00:25:23.340 an elected official,

00:25:24.840 and it has an impact

00:25:25.680 on you.

00:25:25.940 And the way that you

00:25:26.480 talked about it,

00:25:27.300 it's clear that it had

00:25:28.040 a personal impact on you.

00:25:29.660 The senators you took

00:25:30.580 down there,

00:25:30.940 I can't imagine

00:25:31.580 any of them left

00:25:33.040 not just feeling

00:25:34.700 different emotionally

00:25:35.820 about what these

00:25:36.920 people are going through.

00:25:37.840 I've looked in the eyes

00:25:38.780 of the children

00:25:39.360 who've been brutalized

00:25:40.220 by these cartels.

00:25:42.560 These are beautiful

00:25:43.600 little kids.

00:25:44.420 The Democrats

00:25:48.220 used to pitch

00:25:49.220 illegal immigration

00:25:50.300 as an issue

00:25:50.880 of compassion.

00:25:51.620 They just care

00:25:52.260 more than Republicans.

00:25:53.980 I've got to say,

00:25:54.800 you and I

00:25:55.080 are both dads.

00:25:57.460 Nobody

00:25:57.980 who gives a damn

00:25:59.900 about humanity

00:26:00.680 would put a single

00:26:03.240 little boy

00:26:03.880 or a single little girl

00:26:05.020 in the custody

00:26:05.860 of these cartels.

00:26:07.920 And by the way,

00:26:08.900 if you want to see

00:26:09.620 how bad it is,

00:26:10.840 look at what's

00:26:11.360 happening right now

00:26:12.380 with the cartels

00:26:13.500 in Mexico.

00:26:15.260 It's an all-out civil war.

00:26:16.620 A lot of people

00:26:16.940 don't realize

00:26:17.520 what has just happened.

00:26:18.540 Well, here,

00:26:18.860 play some of the footage.

00:26:19.580 Yeah, I mean,

00:26:19.920 look at some of this video

00:26:21.220 that has come out

00:26:21.920 and so people understand

00:26:23.680 what's happened down there.

00:26:25.780 You had El Chapo's son

00:26:27.540 who was arrested

00:26:28.500 several years ago

00:26:29.500 and the cartel

00:26:31.020 basically held

00:26:31.600 the entire

00:26:32.140 Mexican state hostage,

00:26:34.260 started an all-out

00:26:35.100 civil war within

00:26:36.080 the country

00:26:37.860 and it was so bad

00:26:39.140 so quickly

00:26:39.580 that the president

00:26:40.280 of Mexico

00:26:40.700 at the time said,

00:26:41.620 release his son

00:26:42.300 back out

00:26:42.860 into society,

00:26:44.300 let him go back

00:26:45.320 out there to the cartel

00:26:46.180 because too many lives,

00:26:47.680 innocent people's lives

00:26:48.680 will be affected

00:26:50.080 by this.

00:26:51.100 Now they've caught him

00:26:52.060 again

00:26:52.480 and exactly the same

00:26:53.760 thing has happened.

00:26:54.500 It's an all-out civil war.

00:26:55.460 Take a look.

00:26:58.140 You look at this

00:26:59.440 as apparently

00:27:00.080 some of what

00:27:00.900 we're being told

00:27:01.760 is the government

00:27:03.460 firing machine guns

00:27:05.220 from helicopters

00:27:05.980 in this all-out war.

00:27:07.940 The Mexican army

00:27:08.700 has deployed

00:27:09.380 to these different

00:27:11.240 areas down there

00:27:12.540 where the son

00:27:13.240 of this drug lord,

00:27:14.840 El Chapo,

00:27:16.120 was caught

00:27:16.940 and this is just

00:27:18.140 one example.

00:27:18.860 When you're seeing this,

00:27:19.680 you see the fires

00:27:20.520 that have been set

00:27:21.200 in all these

00:27:21.740 different cities,

00:27:22.580 Senator.

00:27:23.360 They're apparently

00:27:24.160 attacking hotels.

00:27:26.420 They have attacked hospitals.

00:27:27.940 We were told last night

00:27:28.860 they were taking

00:27:29.760 not just when they

00:27:30.980 were going into the hospitals,

00:27:32.720 they were taking

00:27:32.980 the doctors

00:27:33.560 and the nurses 1.00

00:27:34.080 so they couldn't treat

00:27:35.720 the men and women

00:27:36.600 in the police force,

00:27:37.720 in the government,

00:27:38.720 in the military

00:27:39.260 so they couldn't do it.

00:27:40.500 That's a city

00:27:40.940 with machine gun fire

00:27:42.060 coming down

00:27:42.680 and the thing to understand,

00:27:44.780 you know,

00:27:45.180 we're looking at footage,

00:27:46.640 for those of y'all

00:27:47.120 just listening to the audio,

00:27:48.300 we're looking at footage

00:27:49.160 from Mexico

00:27:49.840 of a helicopter

00:27:50.540 firing a machine gun

00:27:51.980 at night

00:27:52.460 into a Mexican town

00:27:54.060 in a gunfight

00:27:54.720 with these cartels

00:27:55.640 and look,

00:27:58.540 I know in politics...

00:27:59.440 These are the people

00:27:59.880 that are running

00:28:00.260 the human beings

00:28:00.880 over the border.

00:28:01.720 If you think

00:28:02.280 they're going to be

00:28:02.820 humane to them,

00:28:03.700 you're wrong. 0.83

00:28:04.220 I know in politics

00:28:05.820 it's always easy

00:28:07.260 to say,

00:28:07.640 oh,

00:28:07.660 it's the other party's fault,

00:28:08.780 but you need to understand

00:28:09.920 this is Joe Biden

00:28:12.020 and Kamala Harris' fault. 0.76

00:28:13.240 Why?

00:28:14.180 Because these cartels,

00:28:16.340 Joe Biden

00:28:17.100 has personally made

00:28:18.680 billions of dollars

00:28:21.020 for these cartels.

00:28:23.420 What you need to understand

00:28:24.580 is trafficking

00:28:25.460 is a multi-billion dollar

00:28:27.900 global empire.

00:28:29.000 These are massive corporations 0.72

00:28:30.500 filled with murderers 0.99

00:28:32.080 and thugs, 0.99

00:28:32.720 filled with people 0.95

00:28:33.760 who bury people alive,

00:28:34.940 who light them on fire.

00:28:36.200 So imagine

00:28:37.120 the most violent criminals

00:28:38.640 you can think of

00:28:40.500 who have become

00:28:43.000 multi-billionaires

00:28:45.100 because of Joe Biden.

00:28:47.320 You look at the cartels.

00:28:49.500 So for someone

00:28:50.600 to cross illegally

00:28:51.900 into the United States,

00:28:53.900 every person

00:28:55.580 must hire the cartel.

00:28:56.620 It's interesting.

00:28:57.100 Actually,

00:28:57.360 the border is 100% secure

00:28:58.700 on the southern side,

00:28:59.420 which is

00:29:00.880 you can't cross the border

00:29:02.380 without hiring the cartel.

00:29:03.620 If you're down there

00:29:04.260 and you just try to get on a raft, 0.99

00:29:05.700 they'll just kill you. 0.77

00:29:06.780 Like, nobody does that. 0.99

00:29:08.060 It's zero.

00:29:08.720 Like, if you want to cross, 0.79

00:29:10.160 there's only one way.

00:29:11.120 You're paying the cartels.

00:29:12.460 How much do you pay the cartels?

00:29:13.760 The prices vary.

00:29:15.640 They are typically

00:29:16.480 between $3,000 and $12,000 a person

00:29:19.140 is what it costs

00:29:20.120 to cross in.

00:29:21.400 Now, most of the people coming

00:29:22.740 don't have $3,000 to $12,000,

00:29:24.720 so they come in debt

00:29:25.960 and they work for the cartels

00:29:27.400 in the United States

00:29:28.360 to pay off their debt.

00:29:30.120 There are some people

00:29:30.980 who are coming from further away.

00:29:32.180 So, for example,

00:29:33.080 people coming from China

00:29:34.260 illegally

00:29:35.160 have been paying

00:29:36.580 upwards of $50,000

00:29:37.980 for the cartels

00:29:39.560 to traffic them in.

00:29:40.860 People on the terror watch list

00:29:42.680 who have been crossing in.

00:29:43.920 And the totals,

00:29:47.840 the cartels make

00:29:48.900 about an equal amount of money

00:29:50.180 from human trafficking

00:29:52.060 and drug trafficking.

00:29:54.300 But the reason why

00:29:56.020 you're seeing a war

00:29:57.480 in Mexico

00:29:58.860 between two armies

00:29:59.960 is Joe Biden

00:30:01.480 and Kamala Harris

00:30:02.400 have armed

00:30:03.460 the cartels,

00:30:05.180 have turned them into

00:30:06.420 they are a military operation

00:30:08.420 waging war.

00:30:10.280 The people of Mexico

00:30:11.620 are suffering horribly.

00:30:14.000 You want to talk about

00:30:15.020 one of the worst things

00:30:16.200 that ever happened

00:30:16.840 to the people of Mexico?

00:30:18.420 It was Joe Biden

00:30:19.460 becoming president.

00:30:20.420 Why?

00:30:21.300 Because Joe Biden

00:30:22.180 becoming president

00:30:23.020 took evil, violent,

00:30:24.780 murdering cartels

00:30:25.820 and gave them

00:30:26.760 billions of dollars

00:30:28.040 and they've used

00:30:29.120 to commit horrific crimes.

00:30:32.360 Look,

00:30:32.960 in fiscal year 2022,

00:30:35.520 14,000 pounds

00:30:38.020 of fentanyl

00:30:39.180 was seized

00:30:41.540 in that year.

00:30:45.060 One kilogram

00:30:46.020 of fentanyl

00:30:47.460 just over two pounds

00:30:48.340 is enough

00:30:50.100 to kill 0.90

00:30:50.580 500,000 people. 1.00

00:30:53.280 That means

00:30:54.140 in one year

00:30:55.040 enough fentanyl

00:30:56.620 was seized 0.89

00:30:57.120 to kill every man, 1.00

00:30:58.060 every woman 1.00

00:30:58.400 and every child

00:30:59.020 in the United States

00:30:59.740 of America.

00:31:00.360 That's what's coming in.

00:31:01.660 Last year

00:31:02.200 we had over 100,000 people

00:31:03.640 die of drug overdoses

00:31:05.360 under Joe Biden.

00:31:06.220 You want to talk about

00:31:06.760 the Biden body bags?

00:31:08.040 100,000 people.

00:31:10.160 And by the way,

00:31:10.780 I talked about

00:31:11.260 the terror wait list.

00:31:13.240 78 people

00:31:14.340 whose names appear

00:31:16.460 on the terrorist

00:31:18.220 screening data set

00:31:19.360 were stopped

00:31:19.920 trying to cross

00:31:20.560 the border

00:31:21.060 just in the last

00:31:22.240 fiscal year.

00:31:23.580 This is a crisis

00:31:25.280 and I'm glad

00:31:27.100 Biden finally came

00:31:28.040 because you know

00:31:28.500 what it did?

00:31:29.620 It made TV cameras

00:31:32.200 actually acknowledge

00:31:33.100 the border exists.

00:31:34.180 but this was

00:31:36.260 a political photo op.

00:31:37.740 A check the box

00:31:38.540 moment.

00:31:39.080 We went,

00:31:39.700 we saw,

00:31:40.420 we tell you

00:31:41.140 we're going to work on it.

00:31:42.040 And designed

00:31:42.720 to get the reporters

00:31:43.620 to say nothing to see here,

00:31:45.120 move on,

00:31:46.400 never mind the suffering,

00:31:48.160 the misery,

00:31:48.760 the death,

00:31:49.340 the overdoses,

00:31:50.240 the murders,

00:31:51.140 the assaults.

00:31:53.000 Not only do the Democrats

00:31:54.200 not care about,

00:31:55.080 they fully intend

00:31:55.820 to continue

00:31:56.440 the same disastrous policies

00:31:58.300 and to let it go,

00:31:59.180 get worse.

00:31:59.760 I will say

00:32:00.220 you asked about Mayorkas

00:32:01.320 in the next six months

00:32:03.540 I predict Alejandro Mayorkas

00:32:05.100 will be impeached.

00:32:06.760 Even,

00:32:07.280 even with the Senate

00:32:08.120 the way it is?

00:32:09.580 Yes.

00:32:10.120 Now look,

00:32:10.540 impeached is charged

00:32:11.760 by the House.

00:32:12.900 So the House

00:32:13.720 will impeach him.

00:32:15.820 The Senate,

00:32:16.820 Senate Democrats

00:32:17.380 won't care.

00:32:18.000 He will not be convicted.

00:32:19.260 It takes two-thirds

00:32:19.960 to convict in the Senate.

00:32:21.100 But you do believe

00:32:21.860 the House side will say

00:32:23.020 this is enough

00:32:23.800 to impeach him?

00:32:24.520 I do.

00:32:24.940 And that will also

00:32:25.780 be showing the country

00:32:26.600 at the same time

00:32:27.160 exactly how bad

00:32:27.980 it is down there.

00:32:28.560 Exactly.

00:32:28.880 That's probably

00:32:29.960 the smartest move

00:32:30.620 they could do.

00:32:31.100 They're Republicans

00:32:31.740 in control of the House.

00:32:32.820 I have urged them

00:32:34.100 vigorously to do that.

00:32:35.440 I believe they will

00:32:36.280 do exactly that.

00:32:37.500 It's going to be

00:32:38.040 interesting to see

00:32:38.520 how this plays out.

00:32:39.640 Nice to be back

00:32:40.440 in the studio with you.

00:32:42.080 Happy New Year
