LOU: A FEDERAL JUDGE PRAISED THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FOR
REUNIFYING MORE THAN 1800
ILLEGAL CHILDREN WITH THEIR
FAMILIES.
GEORGE W. BUSH APPOINTEE JUDGE
SAYS THE GOVERNMENT DESERVES
GREAT CREDIT FOR MEETING HIS
STRICT ONE-MONTH DEADLINE THAT
SENT AGENCIES SCRAMBLING TO
REUNITE YOUNG CHILDREN SEPARATED
FROM THEIR PARENTS.
JOINING ME NOW, PRESIDENT OF THE
NATIONAL BORDER PATROL COUNCIL,
THE UNION FOR THE BORDER PATROL,
BRANDON JUDD.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH US,
BRANDON.
THE PRESIDENT NOW THREATENS TO
SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT IF, AS
HE PUT IT, THE DEMS AND THE
RINOs WHO LEAD THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY DON'T DELIVER THE
>> I'M A FEDERAL EMPLOYEE.
I'M NOT SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
BUT AS A BORED PATROL AGENT I
WOULD SUPPORT SHUTTING DOWN THE
GOVERNMENT IF IN FACT IT WAS
GOING TO LEAD TO BORDER
SECURITY.
I'VE BEEN A BORDER PATROL AGENT
FOR 2 IS YEARS NOW.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COMES UP
YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.
WE FINALLY NEED TO GET AHOLD OF
THIS.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT LEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
FINALLY GET A HANDLE OP IT AND
THIS PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO MAKE
THAT HAPPEN.
LOU: WE'S TRYING TO MAKE IT
BUSINESS ROUND TABLE, THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, WALL
STREET, CORPORATE U.S.
MULTINATIONALS, NOT CORPORATE
AMERICA, U.S. MULTINATIONALS AND
THE KOCH BROTHERS WHO ANNOUNCED
THEY'RE SPENDING $400 MILLION TO
BE SURE THAT THE BORDERS ARE
WIDE OPEN AND THAT ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS HAVE A FREE PASS.
?>> WELL THAT'S THE PROBLEM THAT
BORDER PATROL AGENTS FACE
WE LOOK AT IT FROM THE LEFT AND
THEY WANT VOTERS.
FROM THE RIGHT THEY WANT CHEAP
TRYING TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT HAS
EXISTED FOR YEARS ON END AND
WE'RE NOT GETTING THE SUPPORT
FROM EITHER SIDE, FROM EITHER
THE DEMOCRATS OR THE
REPUBLICANS, AND IT BECOMES AN
IMPOSSIBLE TASK.
AND UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS AN
UPHILL BATTLE THAT THE
HE WIN THIS BATTLE.
LOU: WITHOUT QUESTION.
AND THIS IS A PRESIDENT FIGHTING
THE KOCH BROTHERS AND IT'S NOT A
FIGHT THAT HE SOUGHT, BUT
NONETHELESS, THAT'S WHERE WE
ARE.
THE KOCH BROTHERS ARE BASICALLY
SAYING TO EVERY WORKING MAN AND
WOMAN IN THIS COUNTRY, EVERY
AMERICAN FAMILY, AMERICAN MIDDLE
CLASS, THE HELL WITH YOU, AND
THEY MEAN IT.
THEY'RE PUTTING THEIR MONEY
WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS AND THEY'RE
ABSOLUTELY ANTI-AMERICAN MESSAGE
THAT THEY ARE SENDING LOUD AND
CLEAR ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST APPALLING
ARROGANT THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN
FROM EVEN THE KOCH OLIGARCHS BUT
PARTICULARLY CHARLES KOCH
IT'S DISGUSTING, APPALLING TO
SEE THAT.
>> WHAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HAS
TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT BORDER
SECURITY IS AN ISSUE OF NATIONAL
SECURITY, IT'S AN ISSUE OF
ECONOMIC SECURITY, IT'S AN ISSUE
OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
LOU: WHY DOESN'T CHARL KOCH
UNDERSTAND THAT?
>> HE DOES.
BUT AGAIN, EVERYBODY COMES INTO
THIS WITH THEIR OWN INTERESTS.
CHARLES KOCH WANTS TO CONTINUE
TO MAKE MORE MONEY.
WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH.
AND I'M NOT SAYING THERE IS
ENOUGH.
BUT THEY'RE LOOKING AT HOW IS IT
THAT THEY CAN MAKE THEIR POCKETS
EVEN DEEPER.
AND UNFORTUNATELY THEY'RE DOING
IT ON THE BACKS OF HARDWORKING
AMERICANS WHO WANT A SAFE AND
SECURE COUNTRY, THAT WANT A
COUNTRY OF --
LOU: ON THE BACKS OF EVERY
AMERICAN BECAUSE WHAT THEY DO,
THEY CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF THE
COUNTRY, THE CULTURE OF THE
COUNTRY AND THE SAFETY AND
SOCHTY OF THIS COUNTRY.
AND BY THE WAY, JUST TO KEEP IT
IN CONTEXT, WHEN IS ENOUGH
ENOUGH?
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT $120 BILLION
FOR THE KOCH BROTHERS.
THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD NET WORTH.
PERHAPS NOT ENOUGH, AS YOU
APPLIED.
OF GUESS ABOUT.
