CHERYL: ALL RIGHT.
CASEY STEGALL, THANK YOU.
I WANT TO GET REACTION TO ALL OF
THIS FROM REPUBLICAN FLORIDA
CONGRESSWOMAN KAT CAMMACK WHO IS
CALLING FOR DHS SECRETARY
ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS TO STEP DOWN.
CONGRESSWOMAN, KEVIN McCARTHY
ECHOING THE SAME WORDS, THAT HE
SHOULD STEP DOWN.
IS IT IMPEACHMENT IF HE DOESN’T?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE
TABLE.
WHEN YOU HAVE LIED TO
CONGRESSING, YOU’VE LIED TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE -- CONGRESS,
YOU’VE LIED TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE, YOU HAVE, QUITE FRANKLY,
IGNORED THE FACT THAT THERE IS A
HUMANITARIAN, A NATIONAL
SECURITY AND PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISIS PLAYING OUT ON OUR
SOUTHWEST BORDER, YOU HAVE
EITHER BEEN NEGLIGENCES IN YOUR
DUTIES OR -- NEGLIGENCE IN YOUR
DUTIES OR HAVE JUST CHOSEN NOT
TO DO THEM.
WE ARE GOING TO DO THE
INVESTIGATION THAT IS NECESSARY,
AND IF MAYORKAS DOES NOT STEP
DOWN BEFORE JANUARY 3RD, THEN WE
WILL TAKE THOSE INVESTIGATIONS
AND LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR
IMPEACHMENT.
THAT’S WHAT’S ON THE TABLE, AND
THAT’S WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
THE BORDER HAS TO BE SECURED.
CHERYL: THIS HAS COME UP BEFORE,
IT CAME UP YESTERDAY MORNING AND
THE PUSHBACK ON THE IMPEACHMENT
INQUIRY HEARINGS WAS THAT HE’S
GOT SEVERAL JOBS AND THAT THE
BORDER IS JUST ONE OF THOSE
JOBS.
YOUR REACTION TO THAT.
>> THAT’S JUST RIDICULOUS.
THE HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY
IS CHARGED WITH THE NATIONAL
SECURITY OF THIS NATION.
IT’S HOMELAND SECURITY.
AND WHEN YOU HAVE AN OPEN BORDER
THAT IS OPEN ENTIRELY AT THE
WILL OF THIS ADMINISTRATION,
THAT’S JUST UNACCEPTABLE.
UP TO THIS POINT WE HAVE SEEN
JUST THIS YEAR 98 INDIVIDUALS ON
THE INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST
WATCH LIST THAT HAVE BEEN
APPREHENDED.
GOD KNOWS HOW MANY MORE HAVE
GOTTEN THROUGH.
I MEAN, WHEN YOU HAVE MILLIONS
AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE
COME HERE, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN
VETTED, IT’S AN OPEN BORDER
POLICY AND YOU HAVE A
TRAFFICKING OPERATION THAT IS
TAKING PLACE ON OUR VERY WATCH
REALLY AT THE BEHEST OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION, I MEAN, THAT’S
JUST ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
FOR HIM TO SAY THAT HE HAS MANY
HATS AND THIS IS JUST ONE OF
THEM, WELL, HE TAKES PULL
RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE HE IS, IN
FACT, THE HOMELAND OF --
SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY.
CHERYL: TO BE CLEAR, IT WAS
DEFENDERS OF HIM SPEAKING ON HIS
BEHALF YESTERDAY SAYING WHETHER
IT’S THE SECRET SERVICE, THE
FAA, THE IMPORTANTS, YOU KNOW,
HIS JOB IS ALL-ENCOMPASSING.
FAIR ENOUGH, BUT MAYBE HE CAN
WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME
TIME.
I TO WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT TITLE
42.
THAT’S COMING TO AN END.
>> RIGHT.
CHERYL: BUT THE BORDER CRISIS
CONTINUES, AND WE’RE LOOKING AT
ANOTHER YEAR OF RECORD NUMBERS
OF MIGRANTS COMING OVER.
THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT ARE
BENEFITING FROM THIS ARE THE
CARTELS.
>> YEAH.
CHERYL: ARE WE MISGUIDED MAYBE
IN GOING AFTER MAYORKAS?
MAYBE THE PUSH NEEDS TO BE TO
SUPPORT OUR BORDER AGENTS WHO
ARE HELPLESS, WHO ARE COMMITTING
SUICIDE, WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH
ALCOHOLISM BECAUSE THIS
ADMINISTRATION, THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION, DOES NOT SEEM TO
HAVE THEIR BACK?
CAN WE FOCUS ON THAT AND TURN
SOMEWHAT OF A POSITIVE INTO THE
DISASTER THAT IS THE SOUTHERN
BORDER?
>> YEAH.
I MEAN, TO YOUR POINT, CAN WE
WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME
TIME?
IF ABSOLUTELY.
AND WE NEED TO BE DOING THAT.
WE NEED TO BE SECURING THE
BORDER WHILE SUPPORTING OUR
BORDER PATROL IF AGENTS.
WE CAN ACTUALLY TAKE ON THE
CARTELS WHILE INSURING THAT THE
BORDER IS SECURE.
WE CAN EXECUTE ON THE
HUMANITARIAN MISSION WITHOUT
HAVING AN OPEN BORDER POLICY.
WE CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS, IT
JUST TAKES THE WILL AND THE
POLICY.
I’VE TALKED TO I CAN’T TELL YOU
HOW MANY BORDER PATROL AGENTS,
AND THEY SAY, YOU KNOW, WE JUST
NEED A POLICY.
WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THE JOB
THAT WE SIGNED UP FOR, AND RIGHT
NOW THIS ADMINISTRATION IS
PROHIBITING US FROM DOING THAT.
SO IF WE’RE GOING TO ADDRESS THE
ROOT ISSUE HERE OF BORDER
SECURITY, WE’VE GOT TO GIVE THE
POLICY -- GET THE POLICY.
WE CAN ADD TECHNOLOGY AND FORCE
MULTIPLIERS, ADMINISTER
MANPOWER, BUT UNTIL WE HAVE THE
WILL POWER IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO
UPHOLD THE LAWS CURRENTLY ON THE
BOOKS, NOTHING’S GOING TO
CHANGE.
THAT’S, FIRST AND FOREMOST, WHAT
CONGRESS HAS TO DO.
WE’VE GOT TO PUT PRESSURE ON
THIS ADMINISTRATION TO UPHOLD
THE LAW AS IT IS WRITTEN INSTEAD
OF MANUFACTURING A NEW LAW BY
EXECUTIVE ORDER, BY HIS PHONE
AND PEN.
MERLE.
CHERYL: AND MAKING COMMENTS THAT
BASICALLY GIVE YOUR SOUTH
AMERICAN NEIGHBORS THAT THE
BORDER IS OPEN, COME ON OVER,
