>> FENTANYL IS NOW THE LEADING
CAUSE OF DEATH HAD OF AMERICANS
MY AGE, OF WORKING AGE AND
ALMOST ALL OF THE FENTANYL THAT
COMES INTO THIS COUNTRY IS MANUFACTURED IN CHINA.
MANUFACTURED IN CHINA.
YOU HAVE AN INCREASE OF 800% OF
CHINESE NATIONALS APPREHENDED AT
THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
YOU CAN ONLY BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND
THE COMPLEXITY OF THE STRATEGY
OF THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY
TO INTERRUPT AND REALLY DESTROY
AMERICA IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY.
MARIA: THESE ARE SOFT ATTACKS
FROM COMMUNIST CHINA.
THAT WAS INDIANA CONGRESSMAN JIM
BANKS WARNING THAT CHINA IS
EXPLOITING THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
HE JOINED ME YESTERDAY ON SUNDAY
MORNING FUTURES.
THIS IS ON TOP OF THE OTHER BAD
BEHAVIOR.
CHINA IS REFUSING TO TAKE ANY
BLAME FOR THE U.S. FENTANYL
CRISIS.
IT RELEASED A REPORT LAST WEEK
BLAMING, QUOTE, DEEP ROOTED
SOCIAL PROBLEMS.
MEANWHILE, FENTANYL UNDERLYING
CHEMICALS ARE MIAMI-DADE ARE MAD
JOINING ME NOW, MEMBER OF
HOMELAND SECURITY AND
TRANSPORTATION AND
INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEES,
ANTHONY D’ESPOSITO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING
HERE THIS MORNING.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON ALL OF HE THESE
SOFT ATTACKS?
YOU HAVE COMMUNIST CHINA SENDING
THIS SURVEILLANCE BALLOON AND
BREACHING AMERICA’S SOVEREIGNTY
A WEEK AND-A-HALF AGO, SHOT DOWN
OVER SOUTH CAROLINA AND JUST THIS WEEKEND WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
THIS WEEKEND WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
THREE ADD ADDITIONAL UNIDENTIFIE
OBJECTS, LIKELY SURVEILLANCE
CRAFTS OF SOME SORT.
WE’RE WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
NO CONFIRMATION, NO INFORMATION
WHATSOEVER FROM JOE BIDEN EVEN
THOUGH WE HAD THREE UNIDENTIFY
OBJECTS THIS WEEKEND.
THE NUMBER OF CHINESE NATIONALS
APPREHENDED AT THE SOUTHERN
BORDER, UP 800% THIS FISCAL
YEAR.
>> WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO, I
COMPARE THIS TO THE CHINESE, THE
SHARKS AND THEY SMELLED BLOOD IN
THE WATER AND UNFORTUNATELY THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS ALLOWED THEM
TO DO THAT.
AS YOU SAID, APPREHENSIONS OF
CHINESE NATIONALS ARE UP 800%
SINCE LAST YEAR.
IN DECEMBER OF 2022, THERE WERE
931 CHINESE NATIONALS
ENCOUNTERED.
IN DECEMBER OF 2021, THE NUMBER
WAS ONLY 64.
OBVIOUSLY, THE DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY IS ON THE
LOOKOUT FOR SPIES AND THREATS.
WE’VE HAD OVER 156,000 MIGRANT
ENCOUNTERS IN JANUARY OF 2023
AND UNFORTUNATELY OUR PRESIDENT
IS SAYING THAT HIS POLICIES AT
THE BORDER ARE WORKING.
I JUST DON’T SEE IT.
MARIA: YEAH.
I MEAN, UNFORTUNATELY THE
CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY HAS
ALREADY ABUSED THE STUDENT VISA
PROGRAM, SENDING, QUOTE,
UNQUOTE, STUDENTS INTO U.S.
ACADEMIA AND THEN THEY ARE
PROCEEDING TO TAKE INFORMATION
AND DATA, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
BACK TO THE CCP SO THERE’S
REALLY NO REASON FOR THEM TO
COME THROUGH THE SOUTHERN BORDER
BUT THEY ARE.
CUSTOMS AND BORDER
PATROL REPORTING 156,000 MIGRANT
ENCOUNTERS HAPPENED IN JANUARY.
JIM JORDAN IS GOING TO JOIN ME
COMING UP.
HE’S CALLING OUT 162 HOUSE
DEMOCRATS FOR VOTING TO ALLOW
ILLEGAL MIGRANTS TO VOTE IN D.C.
ELECTIONS.
IS THIS THE POINT WITH THE
5 MILLION PLUS ILLEGALS WHO ARE
APPREHENDED ON JOE BIDEN’S
WATCH, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO TURN
THEM INTO DEMOCRAT VOTERS?
>> LISTEN, I AGREE WITH
CONGRESSMAN JIM JORDAN.
WE ARE WELCOMING TO THOSE WHO
WANT TO LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM
BUT IT’S GOT BE DONE THE RIGHT I
WAY.
TO HAVE PEOPLE JUST COME INTO
OUR COUNTRY AND BECOME PART OF
THE VOTING SYSTEM DURING THE
DEBATE FOR THAT BILL LAST WEEK,
WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE USING
PEOPLE OF D.C. AS A PIÑATA WHICH
WAS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS.
WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO GET OUT
TO PEOPLE WAS THAT WE DIDN’T
WANT TO ALLOW WASHINGTON, D.C.
TO SEE WHAT NEW YORK HAD TURNED
INTO AFTER THE DANGEROUS BAIL
REFORM LAW AS WELL AS ALLOWING
PEOPLE TO VOTE WHO ARE NOT U.S.
CITIZENS.
MARIA: JOEY, JUMP IN HERE ON
THIS, BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO
VALIANTLY FOUGHT FOR THIS GREAT
COUNTRY AND GAVE US YOUR
INCREDIBLE SERVICE AND SO MANY
OTHERS ARE DOING THAT AS WE
SPEAK AND YET YOU’VE GOT THE
DEMOCRATS WANTING ILLEGALS TO
VOTE IN WASH B TONVOTE IN WASHIN
YOUR THOUGHTS.
JUMP IN HERE.
>> IT’S ONE OF THE FEW THINGS
YOU GET TO BE BORN INTO IN THIS
WORLD IS CITIZENSHIP TO A
COUNTRY THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS IN
THIS COUNTRY AND PEOPLE FIGHT
AND DIE FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
IF WE TAKE A STEP BACK AND LOOK
AT THIS, MARIA, THEY’RE TALKING
ABOUT OPENING THE FLOOD GATES AT
OUR BORDER AND THEY CALL IT
WORKING, HAD SAY IT’S WORKING
WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS, HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMING
ACROSS THE BORDER AND MY BIGGEST
CONCERN IS WE SEE 800% INCREASE
IN CHINESE NATIONALS, THAT
DOESN’T TALK ABOUT THE GOT
AWAYS, DOESN’T TALK ABOUT PEOPLE
THAT COME INTO THE COUNTRY
UNENCUMBERED AND WE HAVE
CONGRESSMAN HERE FROM THE
HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE.
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
WAS FOUNDED TO MAKE SURE
DIFFERENT LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES ARE TALKING TO EACH
OTHER.
9/11, THAT WAS THE BIGGEST
PROBLEM.
WE HAD ALL THIS INTELLIGENCE
SCATTERED ACROSS DIFFERENT
AGENCIES.
NONE OF IT WAS COMPILED TOGETHER
IN ORDER TO PREDICT THAT EVENT.
I WORRY WE’RE IN A SIMILAR
SITUATION RIGHT NOW BECAUSE
AGENCIES ARE POLITICIZED.
WE TALK ABOUT LOCAL
MUNICIPALITIES WORKING TO KEEP
THEIR COMMUNITIES SAFE.
WE LOOK AT WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH
THE FBI, DO WE EXPECT THE
BUREAUCRATS TO ALLOW THAT
INFORMATION TO FLOW.
MARIA: THEN YOU’VE GOT THE
CRIME SPIKES, THE NEW YORK POST
FRONT COVER, BACK IN CRIME,
SLAMMING MAYOR ERIC ADAMS FOR
NEW YORK CITY’S CRIME CRISIS.
NEW POLICE DATA REVEALS MORE
THAN 170,000 FELONY CRIMES WERE
REPORTED IN NEW YORK CITY JUST
LAST YEAR.
THE MOST SINCE 2006.
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?
>> YEAH, LISTEN, IT’S UP 20.4%
FROM 2021, ILLEGAL GUNS, THEY’RE
UP.
I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST
THINGS THAT WE SEE AND ONE OF
THE MOST INTERESTING IN THE
NUMBERS THAT HAVE JUST BEEN
RELEASED IS THE LARGE INCREASE
IN CRIMINAL CONTEMPT WHICH IS A
CLEAR INDICATOR THAT BAIL
REFORMS IS FAILING US HERE IN
NEW YORK.
I MEAN, PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING
ARRESTED AND EVEN IF THEY’RE
TOLD TO COME BACK TO COURT,
THEY’RE JUST BLOWING IT OFF
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY’RE NOT
GOING TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
DEMOCRATS IN NEW YORK CREATED
THIS.
WHETHER IT WAS THE GOVERNOR, THE
STATE LEGISLATURE AND THEY’RE
ALL IN ON IT.
WE HAD A MEETING, THE NEW YORK
DELEGATION HAD A BIPARTISAN
MEETING WITH GOVERNOR HOCHUL
LAST WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL HAD
AND BAIL REFORM WAS ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AND
SHE IS CLEAR, SHE IS NOT
CHANGING IT.
SHE THINKS IT’S WORKING.
AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT’S MOST SAD ABOUT CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM IS NOT ONLY WHAT
JUSTICE REFORM IS NOT ONLY WHAT
IT’S DONE TO COMMUNITIES AN COMM
ENFORCEMENT AND THEIR NOR MORALE
THEY WERE TOLD THEY’RE DOING
THIS TO PROTECT MINORITY
COMMUNITIES AND THEY’RE THE ONES
THAT HAVE SEEN THE MOST INCREASE
IN VIOLENT CRIME AND THEY’RE
SEEING BODY BAGS REMOVED BECAUSE
OF THE INCREASE IN VIOLENCE.
MARIA: THE LOWER END OF THE
SPECTRUM IN TERMS OF INCOME IS
GOING TO GET IMPACTED THE MOST.
CONGRESSMAN, THANKS VERY MUCH
FOR BEING HERE.
WE’LL BE WATCHING YOUR WORK.
