MARIA: THANK YOU SO MUCH,
CHERYL.
MEANWHILE, HOMELAND SECURITY
SECRETARY ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS
DEFENDING THE ADMINISTRATION’S
HANDLING OF THE SOUTHERN BORDER
IN TWO CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS
YESTERDAY.
TAKE A LISTEN.
>> WE INHERITED A BROKEN AND
DISMANTLED SYSTEM THAT IS
ALREADY UNDER STRAIN.
IT IS NOT BUILT TO MANAGE THE
CURRENT LEVELS AND TYPES OF
MIGRATORY FLOWS.
ONLY CONGRESS CAN FIX THIS.
WE HAVE EFFECTIVELY MANAGED AN
UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF
NONCITIZENS SEEKING TO ENTER THE
UNITED STATES.
>> MY GOD, MAN, ON THE MOMENT,
YOU’VE BEEN CALLED UPON TO
RESIGN BY MYSELF AND OTHERS.
NEXT YEAR IF WE HAVE THE
MAJORITY IN THIS COMMITTEE,
WHICH WE SHALL, IF YOU’RE STILL
IN OFFICE YOU’LL FACE
IMPEACHMENT.
MARIA: MY I DON’T REMEMBER CASS
BEFORE THE HOUSE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE TODAY SO IT CONTINUES.
JOINING ME NOW IS TENNESSEE
SENATOR, SENATE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE AND ARMED SERVICES
COMMITTEE MEMBER MARSHA
BLACKBURN.
SENATOR, IT’S GREAT TO SEE YOU.
WHAT COULD DO YOU WANT TO ASK MA
TODAY.
>> YOU KNOW, WHAT MAYORKAS
SHOULD DO IS ADMIT WHAT IS
HAPPENING AT THE BORDER.
IT IS NOT UNDER CONTROL.
THEY DO NOT HAVE A PLAN.
THEIR PLAN IS TO HAVE AN OPEN
BORDER IF THERE IS SUCH A THING,
MARIA.
THIS FACT THAT HE’S TRYING TO
SAY OH, IT’S ALL UNDER CONTROL,
WE HAVE A 6 POINT PLAN AND THE
FACT THAT PART OF THEIR PLAN IS
THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE -- GET
THIS -- DOCTORS AND HEALTHCARE
SUPPLIES FROM THE VA AND THEY’RE
GOING TO USE THAT FOR ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS AT THE SOUTHERN
BORDER WHEN WE HAVE A 250,000
CASELOAD BACKLOG AT THE VA.
THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE IT FROM
OUR VETERANS, GIVE IT TO ILLEGAL
ALIENS.
YOU’VE GOT THE BORDER CZAR HAS
COVID.
YOU HAVE THEM ALLOWING PEOPLE
INTO THE COUNTRY WITHOUT A COVID
TEST.
YOU HAVE ALL OF THIS MAKES NO
SENSE BECAUSE IF YOU FLY OUT OF
THE COUNTRY AND WANT TO COME
BACK IN, YOU HAVE TO TAKE A
COVID TEST AND PROVE THAT IT IS
NEGATIVE.
THIS IS SO HYPOCRITICAL AND FOR
MAYORKAS TO SIT THERE AND SAY
IT’S UNDER CONTROL, DON’T LOOK
HERE, NO PROBLEM, TITLE 42, NO
PROBLEM, WE’VE GOT THIS TAKEN
CARE OF.
TITLE 42 IS IN PLACE RIGHT NOW
AND IF YOU TAKE IT AWAY, YOU’RE
GOING TO TRIPLE THE PROBLEM.
BUT THEY’VE GOT AN ISSUE EVEN
WITH TITLE 42.
THE CARTELS ARE RUNNING THE
BORDER.
THE CARTELS ARE NOW HE GLOBAL
ORGANIZATIONS, THEY’RE WORKING
GLOBALLY.
PEOPLE FROM 160 DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES CROSSED THAT BORDER
LAST YEAR.
CHINESE CARTELS WORKING WITH
MEXICAN CARTELS TO FLOOD THE
UNITED STATES WITH FENTANYL,
RECORD NUMBER OF DRUG DEATHS,
FENTANYL BEING THE NUMBER ONE
KILLER OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN THAT
18-30 AGE GROUP.
MARIA: YEAH.
AND WE’RE LOOKING AT --
>> THIS IS NOT UNDER CONTROL.
MARIA: THESE DRUG CARTELS PUT
ADS ON TIKTOK.
THEY’RE SHOWING THE MONEY TO BE
MADE IF YOU BECOME THE GET-AWAY
CAR FOR THE DRUG CARTELS.
WHEN I WAS AT THE BORDER, THE
BORDER TOLD ME THE DRUG CARTELS
ARE MAKING $100 MILLION A WEEK.
WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY THAT THE
ILLEGAL FEW GEES ARE GET -- REF
REFUGEES ARE GETTING, YOU
APPARENTLY THEY’RE GETTING
$3,000 PLUS A MONTH IN FEDERAL
ASSISTANCE WHILE SOCIAL SECURITY
CHECKS AVERAGE $1,200 A MONTH.
THEY’RE GETTING MORE THAN SOCIAL
SECURITY RECIPIENTS, AMERICAN
CITIZENS.
YOU HEARD MAYORKAS, HE’S BLAMING
TRUMP.
HE SAYS WE INHERITED A BORDER
PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW FOR
A FACT THAT UNDER PRESIDENT
TRUMP BORDER ENCOUNTERS WERE AT
A 20-YEAR LOW.
NOW THEY’RE AT A 22-YEAR HIGH.
>> THEY’RE THE HIGHEST WE HAVE
EVER SEEN.
BECAUSE THERE IS NO BORDER,
THERE IS NO PLAN.
AND WE KNOW THAT WHAT THEY WANT
IS AN OPEN BORDER.
THIS IS A DANGER TO OUR
SOVEREIGNTY, A DANGER TO THE
SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR
COMMUNITIES.
THEY AREEN ARE INCENTIVIZING THE
ENTRANCE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
INTO THIS COUNTRY.
AS YOU JUST SAID, THE BENEFITS
THAT THEY ARE GETTING, THE FACT
IS THEY CAN COME WITHOUT A COVID
TEST.
THE FACT THAT THEY CAN COME IN,
RAISE THEIR HAND, SAY THE WORD
"ASYLUM" AND THEY’RE GIVEN A
COURT DATE TO GO SOME POINT IN
THE FUTURE, THEY’RE GIVEN A CELL
PHONE.
THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT PEOPLE
ARE LOOKING AT THIS HARD-WORKING
TAXPAYERS, HARD-WORKING
TENNESSEANS THAT ARE STRUGGLING
TO MAKE ENDS MEET RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE INFLATION IS KILLING
THEM.
THE PRICE AT THE PUMP.
AND THEY’RE GOING YOU’VE GOT TO
BE KIDDING ME.
SO YOU’RE GOING TO GET THESE
PEOPLE IN, YOU’RE GOING TO FLY
THEM AROUND THE COUNTRY, GET
THEM TO WHEREVER THEY WANT TO
GO, GIVE THEM MONEY TO SPEND
EVERY MONTH AND I’M OUT HERE
BUSTING IT, TRYING TO MAKE IT
THROUGH THE MONTH AND TAKE CARE
OF MY KIDS, KEEP GAS IN THE CAR.
I’M DRIVING AN OLD CAR.
I CAN’T FIND A NEW ONE.
WAGES ARE NOT KEEPING UP WITH
INFLATION.
THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS PEOPLE
ARE TALKING ABOUT.
MARIA: YEAH.
MEANWHILE, THE LEFT IS HAVING A
MELTDOWN OVER ELON MUSK YOU
ACQUIRING TWITTER.
RED STATE POLITICIANS ARE NOW
URGING MUSK TO DITCH TWITTER’S
CALIFORNIA HEADQUARTERS, FIND A
NEW PLACE, SET UP SHOP THERE.
YOU TWEETED THIS, ELON SHOULD
MOVE TWITTER HEADQUARTERS TO THE
FREEDOM-LOVING STATE OF
TENNESSEE.
THE MAYOR OF JACKSONVILLE,
FLORIDA AND TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG
ABBOTTEN COWING MUSKGREGABBOTT E
A MOVE, BRING HEADQUARTERS TO
THEIR STATES.
CONSERVATIVES ARE SAYING THEIR
FOLLOWERS WENT UP.
WHAT’S GOING ON?
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK
THE TWITTER SNOW FLAKES ARE JUST
HAVING A GOOD OLD FASHIONED
COME-APART.
THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO
TOLERANCE CLASS IF THEY’RE GOING
TO KEEP THEIR JOBS AND THEY CAN
NO LONGER CENSOR.
I’M SEEING ABOUT 20,000
ADDITIONAL FOLLOWERS A DAY.
WHAT THEY’RE DOING IS UNLOCKING
ACCOUNTS.
THEY ARE NOT SHADOW BANNING.
SO THEY ARE ALLOWING PEOPLE WHO
HAVE CLICKED TO FOLLOW YOU TO
ACTUALLY POPULATE YOUR TWITTER
FEED.
AND IT IS I THINK ALL OF US ON
THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE ARE
GAINING SUPPORTERS SIMPLY
BECAUSE OF THIS, LIKE I SAID,
I’M GETTING ABOUT 20,000 A DAY.
AND MARIA, HERE’S THE THING.
TWITTER WAS TO BE THE PUBLIC
SQUARE.
HE’S GOING TO MAKE IT THE PUBLIC
SQUARE AND I DO HOPE HE COMES TO
TENNESSEE BECAUSE WE HAVE A GOOD
TECHNOLOGY BASEED WORKFORCE AND
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW TO BE FAIR
AND THEY UNDERSTAND THAT FREEDOM
IN THIS NATION HAVE BEEN KEPT
FREE BECAUSE IN THE PUBLIC
SQUARE WE BELIEVE IN ROBUST
RESPECTFUL BIPARTISAN DEBATE.
MARIA: YEAH.
WELL, IT’S BEEN -- YOU KNOW,
IT’S BEEN A PR FIRM FOR THE
DEMOCRATS IS WHAT TWITTER HAS
BEEN AND THAT HAS COME WITH A
LOT OF HATE OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS, 100%.
I’VE WITNESSED IT FIRST P HAND
FOR SURE.
SENATOR, IT’S GOOD TO SEE YOU AS
