BUT NOW IT’S OKAY.
JOINING ME NOW IS OKLAHOMA
SENATOR AND MEMBER OF THE SENATE
ARMED SERVICES AND ENVIRONMENT
AND PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE,
MARKWAYNE MULLIN.
IT’S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS PLAYS OUT
AND GIVE US YOUR SENSE OF THE
PRESIDENT’S DECISION TO SEND
THESE 1500 TROOPS TO THE BORDER.
>> WELL, IT’S A LITTLE TOO LATE
BUT WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS
DOING IS POSITIVE.
WHEN THEY END TITLE 42, THERE’S
GOING TO BE A FLOOD OF
IMMIGRANTS COMING ACROSS.
KEEP IN MIND, TITLE 42 IS WHERE
WE CAN APPREHEND SINGLE, MEANING
MALE INDIVIDUALS OF TRAVELING BY
THEMSELVES AND DETAIN THEM FOR
UP TO THREE DAYS BEFORE WE
DEPORT THEM.
UNDERNEATH TITLE 42 WE HAVE
CAPTURED 60 PLUS KNOWN
TERRORISTS.
WITHOUT TITLE 42, THEY WOULD BE
INSIDE THE UNITED STATES,
OPERATING RIGHT YOUOPERATEOPERAT
BECAUSE OF THE FLOOD OF
IMMIGRANTS WHICH ARE GOING TO BE
SINGLE MALES FLOODING ACROSS THE
BORDER AFTER TITLE 42 ENDS IN
JUST EIGHT DAYS, THEY THINK THE
ANSWERS IS, IS NOW LET’S DEPLOY
1500 TROOPS WHICH JUST SHOWS THE
HYPOCRISY OF OUR BORDER CZAR,
VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, BY NOW
IT’S OKAY TO PULL THEM.
I’M GLAD THEY’RE DOING
SOMETHING.
WHY DON’T WE DO BOTH?
WHY DON’T WE DEPLOY THE TROOPS
AND KEEP TITLE 42 IN PLACE AND
DO ONE MORE THING, FINISH
BUILDING THE WALL AND SECURE OR
BORDERS.
IT’S NOT THAT HARD BUT IT IS FOR
AN ADMINISTRATION THAT’S AGENDA
DRIVEN NOT AMERICA FIRST DRIVEN.
MARIA: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT?
>> WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
FIGHT AGAINST THIS POLICY.
WE’RE FIGHTING WITH ONE HAND
TIED BEHIND OUR BACK BECAUSE
CHUCK SCHUMER IS STILL LEADING
THE SENATE.
LUCKILY WE HAVE KEVIN McCARTHY
AS SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND
THEY’RE FIGHTING AS HARD AS THEY
CAN AS REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE
BUT WE HAVE TO DO ALL WE CAN TO
SHOW TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HOW
DISAS TRUSS THIS POLICY --
DISASTROUS THIS POLICY IS.
THEY NEED TO PUT THIS ON THE
DESK OF THE PRESIDENT, KEEPING
TITLE 42 IN PLACE AND SECURING
THE BORDER FOR NATIONAL SECURITY
PURPOSES.
THIS ISN’T ABOUT IMMIGRATION.
IT’S ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY
ISSUES.
WHEN I SAY WE CAPTURED OVER 60
KNOWN TERRORISTS BECAUSE OF
TITLE 42, THAT WOULD TELL YOU HO
HOW IMPORTANT TITLE 42 IS TO
KEEP IN PLACE FOR NATIONAL
SECURITY ISSUES MANUFACTURE.
MARIA: OF COURSE.
IT’S NOT EVEN THAT.
YOU’VE GOT TERRORISTS ON THE
WASH LIST, ILLICIT NARCOTICS AND
FENTANYL COMING IN AND CHINESE
NATIONALS COMING IN, UP 900%
YEAR OVER YEAR AND I’M TOLD BY
MY SOURCES AT THE BORDER THAT
THESE PEOPLE ARE LARGELY
ENGINEERS.
WHY ARE ENGINEERS INTEREST CHINA
COMING IN AT -- FROM CHINA
COMING IN AT SUCH HIGH LEVELS?
>> KEEP IN MIND, THE
FENTANYL ISSUE IS COMING FROM
CHINA TOO, NOT JUST THE CARTELS
BUT THE INGREDIENTS ARE COMING
FROM CHINA.
CHINA IS FLOODING OUR BORDERS.
I WOULD SAY MOST OF THESE
INDIVIDUALS AREN’T TRYING TO GET
HERE TO LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM.
IF THEY DID ENGINEERS ARE A NEED
AND WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO BRING
THEM IN IF THEY WANT TO BECOME
NATIONAL CITIZENS.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE BORDER,
WE’VE HAD OVER 160 COUNTRIES OF
INDIVIDUALS WHAT THAT THAT HAVE
APPREHENDED, A LARGE PORTION OF
THOSE WOULD BE FROM THE MIDDLE
EAST.
KEEP IN MIND, PEOPLE FROM THE
MIDDLE EAST THEY’RE NOT ALWAYS
FRIENDLY TO THE UNITED STATES
WHICH IS WHERE A LOT OF KNOWN
TERRORISTS COME FROM SO WE HAVE
THE CHINESE NATIONALISTS
FLOODING THE BORDER, MIDDLE EAST
IS FLOODING OUR BORDER AND
EXPOSING THE WEAKNESS OF OUR
NATIONAL SECURITY ON THE
SOUTHERN BORDER AND THE
ADMINISTRATION IS TURNING BLIND
EYE TO IT.
MARIA: I SAID THE NUMBER OF
CHINESE NATIONALS COMING IN,
900%, IT’S ACTUALLY UP 1,100%.
THE NUMBERS ARE EXTRAORDINARY.
MEANWHILE, THE --
>> YES.
MARIA: IT’S UP 1,172% YEAR OVER
YEAR, CHINESE NATIONALS AT THE
SOUTHERN BORDER.
WE DON’T KNOW WHY THERE’S SUCH A
SPIKE IN PEOPLE COMING FROM
CHINA HERE.
THEY DON’T NEED TO COME THROUGH
THE SOUTHERN BORDER THROUGH
MEXICO AND THEY’RE MAKING THIS
TRIP THROUGH THE PANAMA CANAL,
THE DARIEN GAP.
LET ME GET YOUR TAKE ON THE
PRIORITY OF THIS ADMINISTRATION
IN THE FACE OF THIS, IT’S IF CRY
MALL CHANGE A-- CLIMATE CHANGE
AGENDA.
THAT’S WHAT THE PRIORITY IS NO
MATTER WHAT’S GOING ON AT THE
BORDER, WITH INFLATION, WITH
CRIME.
ENERGY SECRETARY JENNIFER
GRANHOLM IS PUSHING THE
ADMINISTRATION’S GREEN AGENDA ON
THE U.S. MILITARY.
SHE SAID THIS DURING A SENATE
ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE LAST
WEEK.
WATCH WHAT SHE SAID.
>> DO YOU SUPPORT THE MILITARY
ADOPTING THAT EV FLEET BY 2030?
>> I DO.
AND I THINK WE CAN GET THERE AS
WELL AND I DO THINK THAT
REDUCING OUR RELIANCE ON THE
VOLATILITY OF GLOBALLY TRADED
FOSSIL FUELS WHERE WE KNOW HAD
THAT GLOBAL EVENTS SUCH AS THE
WAR IN UKRAINE CAN JACK UP
PRICES FOR PEOPLE BACK HOME, I
THINK ENERGY SECURITY IS
ACHIEVED WHEN WE HAVE HOME GROWN
CLEAN ENERGY.
MARIA: SO SENATOR, YOU’VE GOT
TO EXPLAIN THIS TO ME BECAUSE
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT RELYING ON
OVERSEAS, RIGHT, AND SHE’S
TELLING US SHE WANTS TO GET AWAY
FROM THAT.
IS IT NOT TRUE THAT IF WE GO AND
DO ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN THE
MILITARY, WE’RE RELYING ON
CHINA, BECAUSE THE BATTERIES AND
SO MUCH OF THIS CLIMATE AGENDA
IS MADE IN CHINA?
HERE WE ARE HAVING A
CONVERSATION ON A NATIONAL LEVEL
ABOUT GETTING SUPPLY CHAINS OUT
OF CHINA AND YET THIS CLIMATE
CHANGE AGENDA IS SENDING ALL OF
THE BUSINESS TO CHINA, YOU
YOU’RE A MEMBER OF THE SENATE
ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE.
YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> YOU CAN’T EXPLAIN STUPIDITY.
THEY HIRED INCOMPETENT
INDIVIDUALS THAT DON’T
UNDERSTAND SIMPLE BATTLEFIELD
ISSUES SUCH AS HOW ARE WE GOING
TO CHARGE THESE EV VEHICLES IN
THE MIDDLE OF A CONFLICT?
THERE’S NOT CHARGING STATIONS IN
THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLEFIELD.
YOU’RE GOING TO BE TOWING BIG
GASOLINE DIESEL POWERED
GENERATORS BEHIND EV VEHICLES TO
CHARGE THE VEHICLES THAT’S IN
FRONT OF THEM.
WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT
BATTERIES, WE DON’T HAVE THE
RARE EARTH MINERALS -- WE
ACTUALLY DO BUT BECAUSE OF THE
EPA AND ENVIRONMENTALISTS WE
CAN’T MINE THEM.
WE HAVE TO RELY CHINA FOR THE
RARE EARTH MINERALS.
KEEP IN MIND, THE FIVE LARGEST
DEPOSITS IN THE WORLD OF RARE
EARTH MEDICINE L RAILS WHERE
BATTERIES -- MINERALS WHERE
BATTERIES ARE MADE, CHINA
CONTROLS FOUR OF THEM, RUSSIA
CONTROLS THE OTHER ONE.
WE WILL BE HE DEPENDENT ON
ADVERSARIES IF WE GO TOTAL LEK
ELECTRIC.
WHEN SHE SAYS HOME GROWN CLEAN
ENERGY, WE HAVE HOME GROWN
FOSSIL FUELS.
WE COULD BE 100% ENERGY
INDEPENDENT.
WE WOULDN’T HAVE TO BLAME RUSSIA
ON HIGH ENERGY PRICES BECAUSE WE
COULD CONTROL OUR OWN ENERGY
CRISIS RIGHT HERE.
YOU START TALKING ABOUT THE FEDS
RAISING HIKES, TRYING TO STEM
INFLATION.
YOU START THINKING ABOUT
INFLATION BE STEMMED IF WE
CONTROLLED ENERGY COSTS
OURSELVES.
IT’S JUST THIS ADMINISTRATION
MAKES HORRIBLE DECISIONS FOR OUR
MILITARY WHICH SHOULD BE A PLACE
OF PEACE YOU THROUGH THROUGH STR
MEANING ADVERSARIES SHOULD FEAR
US, NOT LAUGH AT US WHICH IS
WHAT THEY DO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
EV VEHICLES.
THEY ARE BLINDED BY WOKE GREEN
ENERGY MOVEMENT PANDERING TO THE
FAR LEFT THAT DOESN’T UNDERSTAND
BASIC PRINCIPLES.
MARIA: YEAH.
REALLY CONCERNING, SENATOR.
WE’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING YOUR
WORK.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS
