EXTRAORDINARY.
LET’S BRING IN NIKKI HALEY, 2024
GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
GOOD TO SEE YOU, AMBASSADOR.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> WE HEAR ALMOST NOTHING ABOUT
THIS FROM THE PRESIDENT EXCEPT
HE’S SENDING 1,500 MEMBERS OF
THE MILITARY DOWN THERE TO TRY
TO HELP.
SORT OF ORGANIZE ALL OF THIS.
YOU KNOW, I ALSO REMEMBER
WHEN -- REMEMBER WHEN THE PLANES
LANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
NIGHT WITH PEOPLE IN UPSTATE
NEW YORK?
THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THIS.
NOW THEY’RE GOING ON BUSS FROM
HOTELS FROM NEW YORK CITY AND
WILL HAPPEN IN OTHER CITIES AS
WELL.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF IT?
>> I THINK WE HAVE TO SPEAK HARD
TRUTHS.
THE FIRST THING TO LOOK AT IS
HE’S SENDING 1,500 MEMBERS DOWN
THERE.
LET’S BE CLEAR.
THEY’RE GOING TO BE PROCESSERS.
THEY’RE NOT READY FOR THE CRISIS
THAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
THIS IS THE INTERESTING THING,
MARTHA.
THIS FALLS ON THE PRESIDENT,
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE DERELICTION
OF DUTY.
IT ALSO FALLS ON THE FEET OF
CONGRESS.
THIS IS NOT A SURPRISE THAT WE
SUDDENLY WOKE UP AND TITLE 42 IS
ENDING.
THEY ALL KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO
HAPPEN.
EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF CONGRESS,
THE PRESIDENT KNEW IT AND NOBODY
DID ANYTHING.
THEY GOT ON TV AND COMPLAINED
ABOUT IT, BUT NOBODY DID
ANYTHING.
FIVE MILLION PEOPLE HAVE COME
ACROSS.
ENOUGH FENTANYL HAS CROSSED THE
BORDER TO KILL EVERY AMERICAN
LAST YEAR.
YOU HAVE LITERALLY THE NUMBER 1
CAUSE OF DEATH FOR ADULTS 18 TO
49, FENTANYL.
I WENT TO THAT BORDER.
I DIDN’T GO AND PULL A KAMALA
AND GO AND COME BACK.
I WENT 400 MILES ON THAT BORDER.
WHAT I SAW IS IMMORAL AND
IRRESPONSIBLE.
THERE’S A LOT OF BLAME TO GO
AROUND.
YET NOBODY HAS GOTTEN IN A ROOM
AND SAID WE’RE GOING TO FIX THIS
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERY STATE IS A
BORDER STATE.
>> SPEAKING OF CONGRESS, HERE’S
SENATOR SINEMA CALLING OUT THE
WHITE HOUSE.
WATCH.
>> THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAD
TWO YEARS TO PREPARE FOR THIS.
DID NOT DO SO.
OUR STATE IS GOING TO BEAR THE
BRUNT.
MIGRANTS WILL BE IN CRISIS AS
SOON AS NEXT WEEK.
IT WILL BE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.
WE’RE NOT PREPARED PRESIDENT.
>> Martha: INTERESTING,
GOVERNOR.
A LOT OF THE IDEAS THAT THEY
HAVE COME UP WITH AT THE WHITE
HOUSE ARE SIMILAR TO THE IDEAS
AND POLICY THAT THE FORMER
PRESIDENT HAD IN PLACE.
THAT YOU HAVE TO REGISTER
SOMEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY THAT
YOU’RE COMING FROM.
THERE’S AN APP THAT YOU CAN DO
TO GET YOUR ASYLUM PROCESS
GOING.
ONCE YOU GET HERE, IF YOU DON’T
MEET THE CRITERIA, THEY WANT TO
SEND YOU BACK, WHICH RAISES THE
QUESTION WHY DIDN’T THEY JUST
LEAVE IN PLACE WHAT WAS GOING ON
WHEN THEY TOOK OFFICE?
THERE’S A QUESTION AT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
HANG WITH US.
LET’S SEE WHAT THIS IS.
>> THE TOOLS THAT WE HAVE IN
FRONT OF US THAT WE’RE DOING
EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN.
WE HAVE ROBUST MULTIAGENCY PLAN
TO HUMANELY MANAGE THE BORDER
THROUGH ENFORCEMENT, DETERRENCE
AND DIPLOMACY.
WE’RE IMPLEMENTS THAT PLAN WITH
OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS USING THE
TOOLS THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE
CONGRESS HAS FAILED TO ACT.
THE PRESIDENT HAS TAKEN ACTION
ON THIS ISSUE OF THE BORDER
SINCE DAY ONE.
WHAT WE’RE SEEING FROM
REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS, WHAT WE’RE
SEEING FROM CONGRESS,
REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS IS THEY
WANT TO PLAY POLITICS.
THAT’S WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
THEY WANT TO PLAY POLITICS AND
NOT DEAL WITH AN ISSUE THAT
WE -- THAT HAS CHALLENGED US FOR
DECADES.
THIS IS NOTHING NEW.
IT HAS CHALLENGED US FOR
DECADES.
THE PRESIDENT IS DOING
EVERYTHING HE CAN IN HIS POWER.
HE NEEDS CONGRESS TO ACT.
>> WHAT ARE THE PRESIDENT’S
EXPECTATIONS FOR THE SUBSTANCE
OF THE MEETING TOMORROW?
HE HAS A VERY HARDENED POSITION.
>> Martha: JUST WANTED TO GRAB
THAT ON TITLE 42.
SHE SAYS THE PRESIDENT HAS TAKEN
ACTION SINCE DAY ONE.
SHE’S BLAMING CONGRESS.
SHE SAYS THIS IS THEIR FAULT.
>> DERELICTION OF DUTY BY THE
PRESIDENT, IRRESPONSIBLE ACTIONS
BY CONGRESS.
THEY ALL KNEW THIS WAS COMING.
THEY’RE POINTING FINGERS AT EACH
OTHER.
THERE’S NO SAINTS IN THIS ISSUE.
THEY NEED TO FIX IT.
THERE’S REAL SOLUTIONS THAT CAN
BE DONE AND CONGRESS AND BIDEN
HAVE FAILED US ON THIS.
>> IT’S INTERESTING.
PEOPLE LIKE LORI LIGHTFOOTS AND
MAYOR ADAMS THAT SAYS WE’RE
SANCTUARY CITIES.
WE’LL OPEN OUR ARMS TO YOU.
NOW THEY’RE BLAMING EVERYBODY
AND SENDING PEOPLE ON BUSES TO
GET OUT OF THEIR CITY.
SO IT SEEMS THAT IT WAS
DISINGENUOUS THAT THEY’RE OPEN
ARMS TO ALL OF THESE FOLKS.
IT’S A TERRIBLE SITUATION.
