BRINGS THE WHOLE THING DOWN. >> Dana: ABSOLUTELY.
>> Dana: ABSOLUTELY.
ALSO THIS AT THE BORDER.
>> PEOPLE ARE DYING.
>> HOLD ON.
MIGRANTS WHO ATTEMPTED TO ENTER
THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY ARE TAKEN
INTO CUSTODY BY BORDER PATROL
AGENTS AND THAT’S HOW IT WORKS.
TO SAY WE AREN’T DOING ENOUGH
IS FALSELY, CATEGORICALLY WRONG.
>> Trace: THE WHITE HOUSE
CLAIMS PRESIDENT BIDEN IS DOING
EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO SECURE
THE BORDER.
BUT YOU LOOK AROUND AND REALITY
QUICKLY SETS IN.
THE NUMBER OF MIGRANTS CROSSING
THE SOUTHERN BORDER BRAERKING
RECORDS AND OVERWHELMING BORDER
AGENTS ALL WHILE FUELING A
DANGEROUS SURGE OF DRUGS AND
HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
TENNESSEE CONGRESSMAN MARK
GREEN JUST RETURNED FROM THE
BORDER.
A REPUBLICAN ON THE FOREIGN
AFFAIRS AND ARMED SERVICES
COMMITTEE.
WHEN YOU HEAR KARINE
JEAN-PIERRE GIVE THESE KINDS OF
REMARKS AND ANSWERS, IT IS
BAFFLING TO PEOPLE WHO ARE
SAVVY TO WHAT IS GOING ON AT
THE BORDER, SIR.
>> YES, IT’S INFURIATING.
IT IS INTENTIONAL DECEPTION.
WHEN WE WERE DOWN THERE ON THE
BORDER, TRACE, WE WERE TOLD BY
CDP THEY WERE ORDERED TO TURN
OFF THE SEISMIC FIBER-OPTIC
SENSORS AND ORDERED TO TURN OFF
CAMERAS.
YOU LOOK AT EVERYTHING WHETHER
THE 2023 BUDGET FOR HOMELAND
SECURITY OR THE INTERIM FINAL
RULE THEY ARE TRYING TO
IMPLEMENT.
EVERYTHING IS DESIGNED TO SPEED
PEOPLE INTO THE UNITED STATES
AND THE DRUG CARTELS KNOW THIS.
THEY TARGET ONE SECTOR WITH
MASS WAVES OF PEOPLE, CDP PULLS
PEOPLE FROM ONE SECTOR OF THE
LINE OVER TO PROCESS THOSE
INDIVIDUALS AND THEN THE DRUGS
JUST COME POURING INTO THOSE
EMPTY SECTORS.
WE WITNESSED THIS FIRSTHAND.
>> Dana: ONE OF THE THINGS
ABOUT YOUR TRIP JUST REMINDS
EVERYONE ABOUT THE FACT THAT
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS NEVER GONE.
PRESIDENT HARRIS HAS NEVER GONE.
WHEN YOU GO AND SEE IT
FIRSTHAND AND WE LOOK AT SOME
OF YOUR VIDEO THAT YOU PROVIDED
HERE, IT REALLY MUST SHOCK THE
SYSTEM AND NOW YOU SEE GOVERNOR
ABBOTT MAKING SOME DECISIONS
ABOUT SENDING MIGRANTS INTO
SANCTUARY CITIES.
I WONDER WHAT YOU HEARD ABOUT
THAT DOWN THERE, IF ANYTHING.
IF THEY’RE AWARE THAT THE CBP
KNOWS THAT THERE IS AT LEAST
THE GOVERNOR TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT A WAY TO GET SOME ATTENTION
FOCUSED ON THIS ISSUE.
>> WHILE WE WERE DOWN THERE, WE
SAW THE NEWS CLIPPINGS FROM
GOVERNOR ABBOTT SENDING FOLKS
TO CHICAGO AND NOW HE IS
SENDING BUSES OF MIGRANTS,
ILLEGALS TO NEW YORK CITY,
WASHINGTON, D.C., AND CHICAGO.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE CDP GUYS ARE
CELEBRATING THIS.
IT HELPS EDUCATE AMERICA
PARTICULARLY THE SANCTUARY
CITIES TO WHAT IS REALLY GOING
ON AT THE BORDER.
>> Trace: AMAZING TO ME AND I
WANT TO PUT UP THE NUMBERS ON
THE SCREEN.
CALL FOR NUMBER FOUR, FENTANYL
SEIZURES AT THE BORDER AND YOU
CAN SEE THROUGH THIS YEAR ALONE
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT 10,000 PLUS
POUNDS OF FENTANYL.
ENOUGH TO KILL MILLIONS.
SINCE 2019, IT IS ALMOST FOUR
TIMES THE AMOUNT AND THE DEATHS
SINCE 2019 HAVE DOUBLED.
NOW THE ADMINISTRATION’S RESPONSE IS WE’RE INTERDICTING
RESPONSE IS WE’RE INTERDICTING
THE FELL -- FENTANYL.
THE DEATH RATES ARE GOING UP AN
THERE IS MORE GETTING THROUGH
AND KILLING PEOPLE.
>> WHEN WE WERE THE AT THE
BORDER MEETING WITH RANCHERS IN
THE AREAS THAT CBP CAN’T COVER,
THEY SHOWED THE GAME CAMERAS OF
PEOPLE IN CAMOUFLAGE WEARING
BACKPACKS FULL OF DRUGS AND WE
ACTUALLY WENT TO ONE OF THE
SITES WHERE THEY HAVE A
DROP-OFF POINT, PICKUP POINT
AND THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF
BACKPACKS AND CARPET SHOES
DISCARDED, EMPTY BACKPACKS WE
KNOW WERE CARRYING DRUGS THERE
AT THESE DROP-OFF SITES.
THEY MEET A PREARRANGED VEHICLE
THAT TAKES THEM ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY.
WE HAVE HAD IN TENNESSEE A 50%
INCREASE IN FENTANYL DEATHS.
THAT’S JUST ONE COST OF THE
PRESIDENT’S BORDER POLICY.
UNCOMPENSATED CARE AT OUR
HOSPITALS HAS SKYROCKETED.
A SMALL HOSPITAL WITH A $20
MILLION INCREASE IN LOST
REVENUE DUE TO TAKING CARE OF
MIGRANTS WHO DON’T HAVE
INSURANCE.
WHAT HAPPENS IS AMERICANS WIND
UP PAYING FOR THAT.
LOCAL JAILS HAVE SEEN A 40 TO
50% INCREASE IN INCARCERATIONS
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE COMING
ACROSS THAT ARE SNEAKING IN
HAVE ALL COMMITTED CRIMES
BEFORE.
MANY MULTIPLE CRIMES THEY DON’T
WANT TO REPORT TO CBP.
THEY COME ACROSS THE BORDER.
40% INCREASE IN THE JAILS.
IT’S MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
DAILY COST OF TAKING CARE OF
INMATES.
THE COSTS ARE HUMAN LIVES,
BUDGETS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
EVERY AMERICAN PAYING FOR
HIGHER HOSPITAL COSTS TO COVER
THE UNCOMPENSATED CARE.
IT IS INSANE WHAT THE PRESIDENT
IS DOING.
>> Dana: I WANT TO ASK ONE
QUICK QUESTION AND I WON’T PLAY
THE SOUND BITE.
ONE THING JEAN-PIERRE READ
YESTERDAY.
WHAT I WILL SAY YOU ARE SEEING
A 200% INCREASE OF FENTANYL
SEIZURES.
WE’RE DOING THE JOB OF CATCHING
DRUG TRAFFICKERS 200%.
THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID.
YOUR QUICK REACTION TO THAT?
>> THAT’S DECEPTION.
THEY KNOW FOR A FACT, CBP GUYS
ARE SHOWING THEM THE VIDEO
WE’RE SHOWING THEM OF THIS
INCREASE IN FENTANYL THAT IS
GOING AROUND.
THEY FIND THESE EMPTY
BACKPACKS, FIND THESE DROP-OFF
CENTERS AND KNOW WHAT’S GOING
ON.
THEY ARE BEING DECEPTIVE WHEN
THEY SAY -- SEIZURES HAVE
INCREASED AND WE’RE GETTING ALL
THE FENTANYL.
THEY KNOW THE GOTAWAYS.
