WHERE YOU ENDED, CHARLES.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU ON THE
PROGRAM.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
SENATOR JONI ERNST, MEMBER OF
THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES
COMMITTEE IS IN FOCUS NOW.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH ME.
HOW DOES -- I WILL SAY IT FOR
THE FIRST TIME I’VE SAID IT.
THE REPUBLICAN SENATE NOMINEE
OF HERSCHEL WALKER BEAT THE
INCUMBENT RAPHAEL WARNOCK.
>> FIRST I WANT TO EXPRESS MY
DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE
FAMILIES IN TEXAS.
JUST A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE
TRAGEDY THAT THEY ARE
EXPERIENCING.
BUT WE ALSO IN OTHER PARTS OF
THE COUNTRY SAW SOME AMAZING
VICTORIES AND WE DID SEE THIS
WITH HERSCHEL WALKER.
YOU ARE RIGHT.
HE WAS THE BRIGHT SPOT IN
GEORGIA AND WHAT HE CAN DO AND
WHAT OTHER REPUBLICANS CAN DO
IS REALLY PROMOTE THE
CONSERVATIVE VALUES WE HAVE AND
WAYS WE CAN GET AMERICA BACK ON
TRACK.
TACKLING INFLATION, UNLEASHING
AMERICAN ENERGY POTENTIAL.
REALLY TAKING ON A STRONG
LEADERSHIP POSITION AROUND THE
GLOBE SO WE ARE DETERRING
ADVERSARIES, NOT ENCOURAGING
THEIR BAD BEHAVIOR.
SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS
WHERE WE CAN SHOW REAL STRENGTH
WHEN IT COMES TO OUR VOTERS
THIS FALL.
AND I THINK REPUBLICANS,
INCLUDING HERSCHEL WALKER, WILL
HAVE GREAT SWEEPS COME NOVEMBER.
>> Harris: WE HAVE BRIAN KEMP
WHO IS GOING TO FACE STACEY
ABRAMS AGAIN AND I WANT TO GET
YOUR TAKE HOW HE BEATS HER
AGAIN BUT FIRST OF ALL.
SHE APPEARED TO TWIST HERSELF
INTO KNOTS TALKING ABOUT VOTER
TURNOUT.
LET’S WATCH TOGETHER.
>> THE QUESTION ABOUT VOTER
SUPPRESSION AND VOTER TURNOUT
IS CAUSATION WITHOUT
CORRELATION.
SORRY, MAKE MISTAKES EVEN WHEN
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING
ABOUT.
CORRELATION WITHOUT CAUSATION.
WE KNOW INCREASED TURNOUT HAS
SOMETHING ABOUT SUPPRESSION.
IT’S WHETHER OR NOT YOU MAKE IT
DIFFICULT FOR VOTERS.
IN GEORGIA DIFFICULTY HAS PUT
IN PLACE BY GEORGIANS WHO WANT
TO VOTE BY MAIL.
>> Harris: IN THE THREE WEEKS
OF EARLY VOTING MORE THAN
850,000 BALLOTS WERE CAST,
THAT’S UP 212% OVER THE 2020
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY RACE AND
168% INCREASE OVER THE 2018
GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARY CONTEST.
SHE SAYS THOSE NUMBERS DON’T
MATTER.
WHY NOT?
>> OH MY GOODNESS.
HARRIS, YEAH, STACEY ABRAMS HAS
THIS ALL WRONG.
WHEN YOU ARE SAYING THERE IS
VOTER SUPPRESSION AND WE SEE
INCREASES YEAR-OVER-YEAR OF
VOTER TURNOUT SHE IS PROMOTING
THE BIG LIE OUT THERE THAT
WE’RE TRYING TO SUPPRESS VOTES
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES BY
MAKING SURE THAT OUR ELECTIONS
ARE SECURE.
WE HAVE SEEN THIS EVEN IN IOWA
WHERE WE HAVE STRENGTHENED
VOTER SECURITY LAWS AND YOU
KNOW WHAT?
VOTER TURNOUT CONTINUES TO GO
UP.
SO STACEY ABRAMS IS TRYING TO
PROMOTE A FALLACY OUT THERE AND
LYING TO VOTERS ACROSS THE
STATE OF GEORGIA AND THERE IS
NOTHING TO SEE HERE OTHER THAN
TRYING TO MAKE SURE ELECTIONS
ARE SECURE.
I DO HOPE WE HAVE STRONG VOTER
TURNOUT OUT THERE.
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT
PEOPLE PARTICIPATE IN THE
ELECTION PROCESS.
BUT AGAIN SHE IS TRYING TO
PROMOTE SOMETHING THAT SIMPLY
IS NOT HAPPENING.
>> Harris: ONE THING IS TRUE,
THE WHOLE NATION WILL BE
WATCHING AGAIN.
THOSE NUMBERS IN A PRIMARY ARE
HUGE.
ALL RIGHT.
LET’S TALK THE BORDER.
I KNOW YOU HAVE A BORDER BILL
SO I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE
LATEST WITH THAT AS WELL.
THE PRESIDENT’S BORDER CRISIS
IS RAGING OUT OF CONTROL,
SENATOR.
WE KNOW THIS AS A COUNTRY.
IT IS BIPARTISAN IN THE FACT
WE’RE ALL LIVING THROUGH IT.
AXIOS REPORTS THAT MANY
IMMIGRANTS ARE WAITING AT THE
BORDER HOPING TO RUN OUT THE
CLOCK AS TITLE 42 EVENTUALLY
WILL COME TO AN END SO THAT
THEY CAN GET INTO OUR COUNTRY.
AXIOS REPORTS THAT UP TO 8,000
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS PER DAY ARE
ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE
SOUTHERN BORDER.
THEY ARE HAVING THOSE
ALTERCATIONS WITH PEOPLE IN THE
WATER OF THE RIO GRANDE.
WE’VE SEEN IT.
SENATOR ERNST YOU ARE PROPOSING
A MEASURE TO BUILD IT BACK.
TO COMPLETE THE CONSTRUCTION OF
A BARRIER USING MATERIALS
BOUGHT BY TAXPAYERS FOR BORDER
CONSTRUCTION.
>> THANK YOU, HARRIS.
GOD BLESS OUR CBP FOR ALL THE
WONDERFUL WORK THEY’RE DOING AT
THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
WE HAVE AN ISSUE.
HERE IS PART OF THE SOLUTION.
IT IS MY BUILD IT ACT AND IT
DOES ALLOW STATES TO APPLY FOR
THE UNUSED PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHERN BORDER BARRIER AND
ERECT THEIR OWN BARRIERS.
WE KNOW THAT STATES ARE
INITIATING THIS.
WE HAVE SEEN THIS IN ARIZONA
AND TEXAS ALREADY.
WHY ARE WE ALLOWING ALL OF
THESE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED
MATERIALS JUST TO WASTE AWAY IN
THE DESERT?
PRESIDENT BIDEN CALLED IT A
WASTE OF MONEY WHEN HE WAS
TALKING ABOUT THE BORDER WALL.
BUT WHAT HE HAS DONE IS A TRUE
WASTE OF MONEY.
WHAT HE HAS DONE IS SECURE
THESE CONTRACTORS TO WATCH OVER
THESE UNUSED SUPPLIES THAT ARE
LYING IN THE DESERT AT A COST
OF UPWARDS OF $3 MILLION A DAY.
>> Harris: LET ME CUT IN.
WE’RE PAYING PEOPLE TO BABYSIT
THE STUFF THAT’S JUST SITTING
THAT SHOULD BE PART OF A WALL?
>> HARRIS, EXACTLY.
$3 MILLION PER DAY CONTRACTORS
TO WATCH OVER THESE UNUSED
MATERIALS.
I KNOW WE WENT BACK AND FACT
CHECKED THAT.
IT IS CRAZY.
THAT IS THE WASTE OF MONEY.
LET’S GO AHEAD AND USE THOSE
MATERIALS.
THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN
PURCHASED AND WITH THE CRISIS
WE HAVE AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER,
THIS SHOULD BE PART OF OUR
SOLUTION.
>> Harris: 100%.
I WOULD FIRST OF ALL WANT TO
HEAR ABOUT HOW OTHER SENATORS
WHO SEE IT DIFFERENTLY
POLITICALLY COULDN’T ALREADY
GET THAT.
MANY OF THEM LIVE IN STATES
WHERE THERE IS A BORDER.
WHERE THERE IS A WALL, RATHER,
WELL LIKE FORMER SENATOR KAMALA
HARRIS WHO IS NOW THE VICE
PRESIDENT.
HOW DID THEY GET AWAY WITH IT?
