Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico All Blame Biden Team for Border Crisis · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The number of illegal border crossings has just hit the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: highest level in fifteen years. Amid the Biden administration's immigration
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: You could call it struggles. I don't even know if
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I would use that word. I think it's a deliberate
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: decision to say, flood the border and do everything you
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: can to get to America now so we can change
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: this country into a socialist country. You wonder how bad
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it is. Nearly a million illegal immigrants have been apprehended
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: by the United States Customs and Border Protection since October first,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty. More than one hundred and seventy thousand were
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: captured last month. So the question is how many got
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: across the border if we caught one hundred and seventy
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: thousand last month alone. Now that is according to the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: new statistics from Customers and Border Protection numbers. The numbers
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: are already the highest since two thousand and six. And
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: here's the kicker, they're the highest in swousand and six.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: With four months left to go in the agency's fiscal year.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So these numbers are going to bload to the point
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: where by the end of the next four months it
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: will probably be the highest number of crossings we've seen,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: probably in history in this country. Why are legal immigrants coming?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Because the administration, the Biden administration is well said, come on,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: hurry up, and also kind of laughed. I'll give you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: an example about how the messaging from this administration which
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: is a message of laughter and joking and we cannot
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and keep coming over give you perfect example of this.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris was laughed again when asked about visiting the border.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Take a listen as well. Listen. I've been to the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: border before. I will go again. But when I'm in
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Guatemala dealing with root causes, I think we should have
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: a conversation about what's going on in Guatemala. I have Guatemala.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Let me laugh about a little bit. You're asked again,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the border. Now. Even the media
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: is starting to turn on Kamala Harris. CNN report it
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this morning that Harris dodging questions on the border visit
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: during an interview was not a good look, as they
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: put it, and by the way, don't don't for a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: second think that it wasn't a good look. It was terrible.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You have a woman that is sitting there going well,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I hadn't been to Europe so you know, it's not
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that big of a deal. And I'm the vice president.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: That was her excuse, why do I need to go
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to the border. I can read about it, I guess,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: or just hear about it from you guys. But even
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: CNN is now reporting that the White House is not
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: thrilled by Kamala Harris's border answers. Well that now you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: know why a woman that was pulling it three percent
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: had to drop out of the presidential run. But hey,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: she filled a quota, right, you get a hardcore progressive
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: leftist anti copp woman in there on the ticket, you
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: fill two voids that you needed a woman in a minority. Bam,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: now you're the vice president Nited States of America. Take
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a listen to CNN. Even putting it this way, Crypt
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to Guatemalo and Mexico raised questions about her not yet
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: visiting the US Mexico border. She wasn't able to answer
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that question, such as this one from lester Hole. Do
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you have any plans to visit the border at some point?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You know we are going to the border. We've been
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to the border. So this whole, this whole, this whole
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: thing about the border. We've been to the border. We've
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: been to the border. You haven't been to the border,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and I haven't been to Europe. And I mean, I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't understand the point that you're making.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Harris now says that she will go to the border.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: The controversy over this, and a little bit of concern
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: inside the White House over that answer continues, John Harwood,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: is it the White House with more? She's been in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the past, um, but I but not recently? Is the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: point here? I love this, I've seen it. There's still
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: trying to cover for her idiotic answer, right, there's still
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: trying to give her an out here. There's still to say, well,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: she's been there before? Has she been there since? The
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: migrants illegally crossing the US Mexico border this fiscal year
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: is already the most since two thousand and six, with
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: four months less to go. No. Nine hundred thousand migrants
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: were stopped by border patrol from October one to May thirty. First.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: There were more than one hundred and seventy thousand apprehensions
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: last month. That is the point that she's missing this.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Customs and Border Patrol data shows that while most immigrants
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: are coming, nine states of America. Across the Mexico border.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: From Mexico and Central America, you have a significant increase
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the number of migrants that are traveling to the border
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: from more distant nations such as Ecuador, Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, etc.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: That also undermines Kamala Harris's strategy to address the root
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: cause of legal immigration by focusing on places like Guatemala,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: El Salvador and Honduras, which brings me back to the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: new attack as well. Guatemala and El Salvador and Exco.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: They're now all blaming the Biden team for the border crisis.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: They're throwing them under the bus, saying, don't blame us
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: for this. You guys did this. You are the ones
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that advocated for a migrant surge. You're the one to blame.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: The Biden administration is to blame you guys. Promise better treatment.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: You guys said you're rolling back Trump's policies. You guys
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: are the ones that said we're gonna stop building the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: border wall. You're the ones that said, come to America
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: by January one, and we'll give you citizenship. Guatemalan president
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: repeated his position during an interview on CBS News where
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: he said the Biden administration's more welcoming tone is responsible
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: for attracking, his words, the historic migrant surge overwhelming resources
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and personnel at the US southern border. He even gets it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: The Biden administration promised that it will quote reunite migrant
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: families and children with their relatives in America. Is just
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: incentivizing my citizens in my country, my compatriots, to migrate
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to the United States of America. The message for migrants
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: change under Biden. We're going to reunite families, were going
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to reunite children, he added. The very next day, after
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration's a welcoming message message, he said, quote,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: them to Unite States of America. They saw the opportunity
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to make money. They saw the opportunity to run these kids,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and that's what they did. You want to blame somebody,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the president says of Guatemala, Well, you need to blame
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: President Joe Biden Kamala Harris for their lenient border security
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: policies for the surge period. Now, the Guatemalan government, by
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the way, is not the only government saying this. Mexico's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: president now has pointed the finger saying, Hey, America, my
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: counterpart over there, Joe Biden, he's the guy to blame. Now,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: before I get to the comment from the President of Mexico,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: let's go back to CNN and their coverage. The CNN
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: team is doing everything they can to cover for Kamala
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Harris right now, but they're also having to report now
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the White House is not thrilled by Kamala Harris's border
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: answers because it just shows how pathetic they are as
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: an administration. Right her not going to the border now
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: has become such an issue because of how dumber answers
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: are that she's probably gonna have to go to the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: border now. They're not happy about it, and CNN's like, well, crap,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: We've got to report this because this ain't gone away
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: anytime soon. But we will try to help her out
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: by saying, now she's been to the border before, she
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: has not been to the border since we have millions
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of people trying to get across the border, she hasn't
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: been in the border since the number of illegal border
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: crossings is the highest in fifteen years with four months
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: left to go, probably the highest in history of this country. Ever, so,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: how is CNN help him out with? They're like, well, she,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's seen Mexico. This is like the joke
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: from Saturday Night Live. Remember when they roasted Sarah Palin
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: on foreign policy and they made up a quote that
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: people actually thought was real that she said, I can
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: see Russia from my back from my house. Remember that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: that Saturday Ight Live skit that then people actually thought
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: was a real quote. What's amazing now about Kamala Harris's
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: It's not a Saturday Night Live quote, it's real. She's like, well,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I've seen Mexico on a map, right, I've seen Mexico
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: in my life. You're the Vice president, Night Takes America.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: You have a crisis of the border, you have an
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: unprecedented number of people coming across the border, and your responses,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I've seen Mexico before, had me a mataie on the beach.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: And then she does the laugh. Take a listen, what
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: does the White House think of all of this? Copy
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: is no surprise that the White House was not thrilled
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: by that answer, a little bit confused as to why
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: she handled it that way, The obvious discomfort with Lester's question,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the nervous laughter there. It's hard to understand because this
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: is a question that the administered has been dealing with
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: for months, as she's been tasked with the diplomatic assignment
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: with Guatemala and Mexico and other countries in the Northern Triangle,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: rather than dealing with the border. They've had a ready
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: answer for it. She eventually gave that answer to our
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: colleague Jeremy Dunn, and take a listen. The reality of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it is that we need to prioritize what's happening at
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the border, and we have to prioritize why people are
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: going to the border, and so let's talk about what's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: going on in the places that are causing the issue
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: at the border. I think it's shortsighted for any of
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: us who are in the business of problem solving to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: suggest we're only gonna respond to the reaction as opposed
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to addressing the cause. You know, it's amazing about what
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: she said in Mexico City and just how tone death
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: she actually is. This moron who somehow became the vice
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: president United States of America, who dropped out of her
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: own primary when she was pulling it too, and got
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: a job because they want to fill a quota of
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a socialist, a minority, and a woman is actually out
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: there trying to tell other countries how to run their
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: countries instead of actually running the United States of America,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: which is exactly why Guatemala. Salvador Mexico pointed the finger
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: right back in America said, don't come to our country
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: telling us what we need to do in our country.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: You go run your own damn country, secure your own border.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: So let's go back to the president of Mexico. He
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: is now saying again Joe Biden's overwhelmingly welcoming tone that
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: began to develop during the US presidential campaign near the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: end of the Trump administration is exactly when the migrant
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: surge began. He created quote unquote expectations among migrants from
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Mexico and Central America that crossing the border is almost
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: guaranteed under the new American commander in chief. Biden immediately
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: came out and this is coming from Mexico's government saying
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: this now. He resended the Trump air border security policies
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and measures to enforce immigration laws in the interior of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the country. He said, that is what is at fault
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: for the humanitarian crisis unfolding at the US Mexico border.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: You didn't just give people, it wasn't false hope of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: coming into America. You gave them actual hope. And you've
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: backed it up by saying, come on over flood the border.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: We'll keep you here, we'll release your families, we won't
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: send you home. We'll hold you for one hundred days,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: but not in captivity. Now, of course, the White House
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: is denying these allegations, right they're insisting that the border
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: is closed. It's not closed. It was closed under Donald Trump,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: it's wide open under Biden. And the proof of it
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: is the numbers. If the border was actually closed, which
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: is something now that the administration is saying. Kamala Harris
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: said it in Guatemala. Joe Biden said it on the tarmac.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: The number of illegal border crossings is the highest and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: fifteen years, with four months left to go in the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: fiscal year. If the border was closed, these numbers wouldn't
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: be happening. You wouldn't have one hundred and seventy thousand
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: people captured in the last month alone. We have no
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: idea how many got across the border that we didn't capture.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't have the highest summer border crossing since O
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: six with four months left to go. If in fact
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you had a closed border, you got a border that's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: wide open, and they're not trying to fix this problem.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: That's why Harris is in Guatemala this week offering the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: government there a substantial aid package in return for greater
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: immigration interdiction along the country's border with Mexico. We're bribing
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: them with cash while still not fixing the problem. Instead
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: of spending that damn money on securing our border, closing
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: our border, finishing the wall, We're gonna give money to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: countries that have no control over their own people and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: if they'd come across the border to Mexico. Guatemala, by
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the way, is not responded favorably so far, even though
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: we're offering to give them cash, because they realize what's
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: doing to their economy. That's why Guatemala's presidents blaming Biden
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: administration for the surgeon migrant activity. That's why I went
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: on TV on the record to criticize Joe Biden because
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: they're losing some of their best people to this open
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: border policy in America, which they say is only hurting
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: their country even more. Quote, the majority of migrants still
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: come from the Northern Triangle. It appears that migrants from
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Ecuador now make up a significant number of those captured,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: enough that the Customs and Border Protection interdiction strategy could
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: shift focus. In just five sectors, more than thirty two
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: thousand Ecuadorians have been encountered at the US Mexico border
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: this year. Thirteen thousand Brazilians have been stopped in Arizona
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: sector alone in Yuma, on top of seven thousand and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: two other sectors. According to the data that now has
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: been leaked, there were fewer than forty thousand migrants not
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: from Mexico that included Guatemala, Hunduras or as El Salvador
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: that were encountered by border officials in the fiscal year
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: two eighteen. To put it in perspective, so in a month,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: we're getting more from these countries than we were getting
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: in a year in twenty eighteen when Donald Trump was
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the president. So now what is the Biden administration doing,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: giving money, money and ramping up pressure on Mexico and
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: others for them to quote t tighten their own borders
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and hopes that they will intersect their own people and
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: turn back migrants from the northern triangle, specifically in Mexico,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and what the Mexican President pretty much said is, no,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: screw you, guys. This is your problem in your country.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Don't come down here and tell us how to run
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: our country. You guys create this problem. You did it
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: on purpose. This is on you. This is what you did.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: This is your fault. Now, we got three issues here
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: that are major today. One this two you've got breaking
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: news also, and we got to get to this about
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden using the in word all over the place.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Donald Trump's kids were using the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: in word. The guy's a huge racist, you can tell
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: from his own words, disparaging minorities in this big, woke world.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Not a single channel on TV is covering this. It's disgusting.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And there's another story that's just disappeared all of a sudden,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and that's the terrorists that are getting funding from America.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: The Palestinians are getting millions of dollars from America from
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's administration, so they can then give that money
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to terrorists who are attacking Israel. There are three big
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: issues that Congress is going to have to deal with,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and we've talked about some of them already. One, you're
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: going to have to deal with a border crisis. Two
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: there's a story that's completely disappeared from the headlines that
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: deals with Israel and what's going on over there in Israel.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: And also this breaking news story about Hunter Biden and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: why is the media refusing to ask questions or demand
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a statement from the president nits it's America, about his
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: son using the inward and Rachel slurs and his own
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: text messages to his white lawyer mocking African Americans. It's
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: full blown racism for a country's supposed we all woke.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: You would think that somebody would ask a question the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: President United States of America and his son using the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: inward joining me. Now talk about this as United States
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Senator Bill Haggerty. Senator Haggerty, you just got back from Israel.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: You saw the carnage. You saw the indiscriminate bombing from
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: these terrorists that affected and killed people in Israel. We
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: also know about twenty percent of the rockets actually kill
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: their own people because they try to overload the iron dome.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: That's how little these terrorists value life. They're they're willing
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to kill their own people to try to kill Israeli's
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: you got back from there, What all did you see? Well,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I saw exactly what you're describing, and it's the rank
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: disregard for human life. It's cowardice at its utmost, indiscriminate
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: launching of missiles at civilian targets. beIN, they're hitting people's homes. Luckily,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Iron Dome intercepted about ninety percent of the rockets that
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: came into Israel. And you're right, no media, you're the first,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: you're the first reporter that's actually called this out. Hamas
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: launched all of these rockets four thousand plus twenty to
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: thirty percent. I was told on the ground never got
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: out of Gaza, meaning they hit Palestinian targets, they hit
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Palestinian people. You're right, they have no disregard for life,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: whether it's for Palestinian life and certainly not Israeli life.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I toured the home of a woman whose house had
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: been absolutely destroyed her caretaker. She's an elderly lady. Her
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: caretaker covered the elderly lady with her body and died.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: The elderly lady was in the hospital when I was there,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: but she didn't have time to get to a shelter.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: And these rockets are again are just being sent over
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: eleven days of it, a complete shower of rockets coming in.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Thank god we had the Iron Dome in place. I
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: wanted to be there to see that technology operate on
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the ground, and it saved I want to be clear
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: about this, Ben It's saved not only Israeli life, but
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: it saved Palestinian lives because if Israel didn't have this
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: precise mechanism to intercept these rockets, they would have had
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: to use much cruder ground operations to go in and
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: stop this. Believe me, Israel is not going to allow
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: this to continue to happen, and many more Palestinian lives
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: have been lost under that circumstance. You've got two international
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: issues now that are clearly bubbling. You've got this one
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: in Israel, and you've now have three different countries coming
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: out saying one. And you look at the protests that
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: happened with Kamala, Harris and Guatemala telling you're basically you
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: go take care of your own country, don't tell us
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: how to run our country. Here. You've got leaders in
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: these countries Guatemala, l Salvador, Mexico all now saying directly
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: that Biden's border policy, telling people come on over, basically
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: wink wink, nod, nod, is exactly why you're having a
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: massive humanitarian crisis and a migrant surge. They all blame
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration's promise of quote better treatment and policies
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: at the border for the onslaught. They're saying this now
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to CBS News, They're saying it now in the interviews
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: on CNN. They're not holding back. As Kamala Harris has
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: their first foreign trip. Were you shocked at how tone
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: death Kama Harris was to say, well, I haven't been
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to Europe, so it's not a big deal that I
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: haven't been to the border when I'm in charge of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the border crisis, and just how terrible the messaging was
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: from this government. Tone death is an understatement been Kamala
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Harris is a month later than I was there. Believe me,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: if I was able to get down there a month ago,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that she could have gotten there even sooner. But it
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: just hasn't been a priority for them. And as you say,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: it was very clear to me. The President of Guatemala
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: was very clear to me directly. We spent an hour
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: and a half together talking about this that we are
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: creating a magnet north of the border that's attracting people.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: He said, Look, our citizens are most vulnerable. Citizens are
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: handing their life savings over to these so called coyotes.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: You know, they're associated with the cartels. They're risking their
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: lives to take a very dangerous journey. More than half
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: of them are subjected to crime. They're victims of crime,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: they're involved in drug trafficking or some other type of
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: contraband movement, or they become themselves involved in human trafficking.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: And that's that. I don't even wanted to go into
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: details of what that involves, but it's terrible. These leaders
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: are very upset and what's happening is it's hollowing out
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: communities in their own countries. So they were very clear
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: with me. When you say things like we won't deport
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: anybody for one hundred days, one hundred day more tournament
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: deportation is just like running a blue light, specially at
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: k marked. You know, hurry for the border is what
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: that translates into the coyotes market. These messages like a
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: fifteen dollars an hour minimum wage, fourteen hundred dollars checks
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: for illegal immigrants, and I'll treat you better if I
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: win the race. That's not only that, Senator. You look
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: at the messaging of well, if you get here by
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: January the first, right when they started with that messaging,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: then there's a good chance you're going to get amnesty.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Wink not nod. How would we know when you get here?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: In other words, hurry up and get here because you
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: don't have documentation at the border. When you come across illegally,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you don't you know you're sneaking into this country. And
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: that's where you also saw another onste of people rushing
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to the border as fast as they could, saying, oh,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: they're they're telling us hurry up and we'll give you amnesty.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: You're you're exactly right, Ben. And what that has also done,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: there's a serious byproduct of all of this movement towards amnesty,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: this bait that they've created. It's caused the border to collapse.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: The customs and border patrol were completely overwhelmed. And what
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: does that do? That allows the cartels to move even
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: more drugs across that border. If you look at an
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: interior state like hours like Tennessee. I've talked with sheriffs
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: across this state, law enforcement officers across the state of Tennessee.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: And what we've seen is overdoses and deaths due to
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: fentanyl dramatically increased since January. And I want to be
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: clear about this, and the Mexicans were the Mexican leadership
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: were very clear with me. I met with the Foreign
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Minister of the Economic Minister. There. China is operating in Mexico.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: They're shipping fentanyl and precursors to fentanyl into Mexico. They're
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: manufacturing there. Chinese lab technicians are They're working with the cartels.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: They have dramatically increased their revenues. They're getting stronger by
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the day. These illegal organizations called cartels that are running
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the drug traffic across the border, they're running the human
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: traffic across the border. They're getting richer by the day.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: In lawlessness is the norm. Now, I want to ask
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: you one other question about some news and I do
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: want to get your reaction because I think it's really important.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: You know, we see the media completely looking the other
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: way right now at a shocking story of the President's
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: son being reported now in his own text messages using
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: racial slurs. The inward multiple times and also using mocking
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: people of color, talking about quote Hennessy referring to the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: alcohol prices. We've seen nothing from the media about this
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: so far. I don't know how the president United States
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: America doesn't have to put out a statement about his
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: own son's racism and in these text messages that have
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: been released now and they're now going, you know, widespread
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: on social media, but the media does not seem to,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: you know, care to even ask the question about the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: reality that you have a president Knight, it's America's son
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: who's dropping the in word in these messages. I want
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to get your reaction to that. Well, I'll take you
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: back to election night of twenty twenty when I talked
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: with President Trump. He congratulated me on my own election.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: You know, Ben, we we were in Tennessee, un we
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: run elections the way they should be run. He called me,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: because we knew the outcome of that very early, to
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: congratulate me. And at that point it looked like he
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: was going to win his election, and I was congratulatory
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: to him, and he said, well, if I do win,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: it's not because I beat Joe Biden. He said, Joe
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Biden wasn't the opposition, it was media and big tech.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: And by the way, Ben he said, big tech is
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a lot tougher. And you and I've talked about this before.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I've actually put in place legislation right now to do
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: away with Section two thirty and avoid or to keep
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: big tech from censoring us the way they have. It's
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the media not covering things, just as you mention, but
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: big tech is going even further. They're reaching into stories
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: like this, you know, the Hunter Biden's story. They sallenced
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the New York Post story one Hunter Biden's laptop timely
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: as it was just before the days before the election. Yeah,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: just days before the election. They shut down the New
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: York Post, the fourth biggest publication in America. They shut
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: it down because it was inconvenient to them. My legislation
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: will take away their ability to do that. My legislation
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: will allow them to moderate the content, but only in
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: very explicit terms, you know, extreme violence, obscenity, nudity, that
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: type of thing. They've used a clause in Section two
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: thirty called otherwise objectionable. That they're driving a truck through
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: this clause, and they're using that as an excuse to
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: come up with anything that they want to to censor
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: anything they don't want us to see or hear, and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: only allow us to see what they want us to think.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: We've got to bring this to an end. And this
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: is just yet another example that you just described with
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden that underscores the fact that we've got to
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: clean up big tech in the media. Lastly, I spoke
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: recently with your counterpart, as Senator Marshall Blackburn on this
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: issue of migrants coming into Tennessee in the middle of
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the night and then bussing them around the country to Miami,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: back to Texas other places. Where are we with this
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: administration doing that in the middle of the night using
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: these random airfields, hoping that the medium people wouldn't see.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: What they're doing is they're having to get rid of
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: immigrants at the border, so it's not a humanitarian crisis
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: that is being covered and just shipping them or flying
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: them anywhere they can in the middle of the night.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Have we gotten anywhere to stop this. We're pushing on
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: it hard. What you're talking about is something we uncovered
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: here in Tennessee. First, it happened in Chattanooga. The most
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: recent report is in Knoxville. We tracked, i should say,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: local news media in Chattanooga tracked four private planes coming
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: in after midnight into a private airport in Chattanooga, where
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: they unloaded all of these illeal immigrants that have been
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: brought into that place, and then they're clearing them. Evidently,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: there there has been zero transparency coming from this administration.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I found out that they're moving on commercially as well.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: One of my friends texted me he boarded a flight
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: in Dallas, Texas. There were eight to ten migrant children.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: They're all speaking Spanish. There was a caretaker with him,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: so he spoke with the caretaker, and the caretaker described
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: what he's doing. He said he was escorting these children
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: to Chattanooga where they would be placed in shelters. Didn't
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: tell him where, but they're going to be placed in
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: shelters in Chattanooga. We don't have any detail one where
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: these people are going. The problem that we've got the
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: most immediate problem is not knowing who's coming into our country.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: If you think about it from a local standpoint, the
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: people in Chattanooga have no idea. Will their schools be
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed with these youths. Will the hospitals be overwhelmed. Do
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: they have capacity to deal with them? Law enforcement doesn't
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: know how many people are coming in. Will they be overwhelmed?
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Will our local municipal resources be overwhelmed by what the
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Biden administration is doing? And I think it's very clear
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. Then they're trying to take that photo
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: op away from the border, and they're trying to disperse
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: it across America, and they're you know, they've basically turned
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: our border into a turnstyle. Right now, we've got to
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: stop it. Senter, I appreciate you as always coming on,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: nice to talk with you. It's going to be very
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: interesting to see what this administration does moving forward with Israel,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm certainly glad that you got to go over
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: there and see firsthand the carnage and exactly what these
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: terrorists are doing. I think it's shocking that we're giving
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: money to the Palestinian authority. We know that money is
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: going directly to these terrorists, and I hope that we
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: at some point are able to stop that, and I
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: appreciate your leadership on it. I hope everyone you're listening
