>> I’D LIKE TO B ENTER INTO THE
RECORD THE NEW YORK TIMES
ARTICLE, MIGRANT CHILDREN WERE
PUT TO WORK, U.S. IGNORED
WARNINGS.
YOU HAVE AT EVERY STAGE FACILITATED THIS MODERN DAY
FACILITATED THIS MODERN DAY
INDENDENTURED SERVEITUDE OF MINO
CHILDREN.
WHY SHOULD YOU NOT BE IMPEACHED
FOR THIS?
>> I LOOK FORWARD TO LOOKING
INTO THIS FURTHER.
YOU ARE MISSTATING THE FACTS
TERRIBLY.
MARIA: THAT WAS MISS MISSOURI S
JOSH HAWLEY GRILLING ALEJANDRO
MAYORKAS.
HE WAS REFERRING TO A RECENT NEW
YORK TIMES REPORT WHICH FOUND
THAT FIVE HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES STAFF MEMBERS WERE
PUSHED OUT AFTER RAISING
CONCERNS ABOUT CHILD SAFETY.
LEE ZELDIN IN THE STUDIO WITH US
THIS MORNING.
YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> I LOVE HOW YOU HAVE THESE
WITNESSES WHO WILL SAY I WOULD
LOVE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH
YOU ABOUT THEY THAT, I WOULD
LOVE TO TALK ABOUT IT.
MARIA: TALK YOU NOW.
>> HERE WE ARE.
MARIA: WE’RE TALKING NOW.
>> IT’S SO FRUSTRATING.
IT HAPPENED SO ME SO MANY TIMES.
YOU’RE ASKING A QUESTION LIKE,
WELL, WE CAN’T ANSWER THAT, WE
HAVE TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION
CLASSIFIED SETTING.
OH, OKAY.
MAYBE THERE’S SOMETHING REALLY
IMPORTANT YOU HAVE TO TELL US
AND YOU HAVE THE MEETING IN A
CLASSIFIED SETTING, THE REASON
YOU CALL IT CLASSIFIED IS NOT
BECAUSE IT GIVES OUT SECRETS,
BECAUSE IT’S EMBARRASSING.
I THINK IT’S A FAIR QUESTION FOR
SENATOR HAWLEY TO BE ASKING THE
SECRETARY, WHY DO YOU DESERVE TO
KEEP YOUR JOB?
AND IF YOU’RE SO PROUD OF THE
WORK YOU’VE BEEN DOING, LET’S
HAVE THEY THAT CONVERSATION
RIGHT HERE AND THERE OF.
BUT INSTEAD, THE SECRETARY WANTS
TO -- HE WANTS TO COWER BACK AND
AVOID THE ACCOUNTABILITY TO
FILIBUSTER THE TIME.
KUDOS TO SENATOR HAWLEY AND HIS
COLLEAGUES, WANTING TO PRESS THE
GUY.
MARIA: HOW MUCH VOTES DO YOU
NEED TO GET HIM IMPEACHED IN THE
SENATE?
WILL IT HAPPEN.
>> NO.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WILL
PROBABLY REPLACE HIM WITH
SOMEONE WHO IS AS BAD OR WORSE.
YOU NEED TO GET THE VOTES IN THE
SENATE WHICH IS MAJORITY
DEMOCRAT RIGHTS NOW.
MARIA: ROGER MARSHALL IS
CALLING FOR HIM TO BE REMOVED
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY AS WELL.
>> MR. SECRETARY, OUR BORDERS
ARE NOT UNDER CONTROL.
MR. SECRETARY, YOU ARE DERELICT
IN YOUR DUTIES.
I WOULD BE DERELICT TO NOT DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
AND THAT’S WHY I HAVE A DRAFT
RESOLUTION HERE THAT I INTEND TO
INTRODUCE IN THE COMING DAYS
THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE SENATE TO
TAKE A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE ON
SECRETARY MAYORKAS.
MARIA: YEAH.
BUT SENATOR SINEMA IS FROM
ARIZONA.
SHE’S RIGHT THERE AT THE BORDER.
COULD SHE VOTE TO REMOVE
MAYORKAS?
WHAT ABOUT A SENATOR MANCHIN?
>> THEY BOTH COULD.
IT STILL WOULDN’T PUT THEM OVER
THE TOP TO BE ABLE TO GET IT
DONE.
SENATOR CHIN WILL MANCHIN WILL H
DIFFICULT RE-ELECTION POINT.
SO WILL SINEMA.
MARIA: SEE SAID SHE’S AN
INDEPENDENT NOW.
>> THE FUNNY THING IS, THE GALL
OF MAYORKAS, THEY SHOWED THE
FACTS BEHIND HIM.
IF WE PUT UP THE STATS FOR
FENTANYL DRUG OVERDOSES IN THE
UNITED STATES SINCE BIDEN TOOK
OFF, THEY’RE UP DOUBLE DIGITS.
THE FACTS ARE PESKY THINGS AND
THEY POINT TO ACTUALLY CHANGING,
WE NEED A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP,
A CHANGE IN POLICY.
BUT HERE WE ARE.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A POWER
STRUGGLE.
MARIA: WHEN I INTERVIEWED
SENATOR MANCHIN RECENTLY, ID
ASKED HIM ABOUT MAYORKAS.
HE SAID MARIA, YOU CAN’T BLAME
MAYORKAS.
HE’S BEING GIVEN A DIRECTIVE,
HE’S BEING TOLD BY THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION TO TELL US THAT
THE BORDER IS SECURE.
>> YOU’VE BEEN TO THE BORDER.
YOU KNOW IT’S NOT SECURE.
MARIA: I’VE BEEN TO THE BORDER
FIVE TIMES.
I KNOW IT’S NOT SECURE.
>> IT’S AMAZING TO HEAR THE
SENATOR YOU INTERVIEWED
YESTERDAY MAKE THE COMMENT THAT
THE BORDER IS NOT UNDER CONTROL.
I WOULD ACTUALLY ARGUE THE
BORDER IS TOTALLY OUT OF
CONTROL, FORGET UNDER CONTROL.
THE FACT THERE IS NO LEADERSHIP
OR NO WILLINGNESS BY THE
ADMINISTRATION TO ACTUALLY GET
IT BACK UNDER CONTROL IS WHAT’S
MIND BOGGLING AND THEN THE
DOUBLE TALK THAT SAYS OH, NO
WE’RE DOING THE RIGHT THING,
MAYORKAS TO SAY NO, WE’RE DOING
THE BEST WE CAN AND WE’RE TRYING
TO LOOK OUT FOR THESE KIDS AND
YOU HAVE THE WRONG SET OF FACTS.
NO, WE HAVE THE RIGHT SET OF
FACTS.
THE PROBLEM IS, YOU DON’T HAVE
THE MISSION BECAUSE THE MISSION
HASN’T BEEN HIGHLIGHTED FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE AND THE WHITE HOUSE
DOESN’T WANT THAT MISSION.
MARIA: BY THE WAY, THAT WAS AN
INCREDIBLE ADMISSION IN THE LAST
HEARING WHEN THEY SAID WE DO NOT
HAVE OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF THE
BORDER.
WHO DOES?
THE DANGEROUS DRUG CARTELS.
AND THEY’RE MAKING BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.
IT’S UNBELIEVEAL TO ME THAT
THESE DRUG CARTELS ARE THE ONE
WHOSE ARE ACTUALLY DECIDING WHO
COMES INTO AMERICA AND WHO
DOESN’T AND AT WHAT PRICE.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT’S CRAZY IN THE
FACT THAT WE COULD DEBATE
WHETHER A WALL WORK.
WALLS ARE EVERYWHERE.
FENCES ARE ON MAIN STREET.
THERE’S A SECURITY GUARD
DOWNSTAIRS TO COME TO THIS
BUILDING AS THERE IS AT EVERY
BUILDING IN NEW YORK.
THERE ARE TURNSTILES IN THE
SUBWAY.
THE NOTION THAT YOU DON’T WANT A
WALL ON YOUR BORDER.
REALLY?
MARIA: THERE’S A WALL IN NANCY
PELOSI’S DISTRICT, ISN’T THERE.
>> MARK SPHWHRERG HAS ZUCKERBER
AROUND HIS HOUSE.
>> I THINK SENATOR MANCHIN IS
BOTH RIGHT AND WRONG.
IT’S TRUE, YES, SECRETARY
MAYORKAS IS IMPLEMENTING A
POLICY THAT COMES FROM THE
PRESIDENTPRESIDENT.
HOWEVER, YOU STILL NEED TO HOLD
THE GUY ACCOUNTABLE WHO IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURING IT.
YOU DON’T HAVE PRESIDENT BIDEN
SITTING IN FRONT OF YOU AT THE
COMMITTEE HEARING.
WHO ELSE IS A BETTER PERSON TO
ASK THE TOUGH QUESTIONS TO
DEMAND THE ACCOUNTABILITY FROM
IF YOU’RE JUST GOING TO GIVE ALL
THESE PEOPLE A FREE PASS.
PRESIDENT BIDEN, VICE PRESIDENT
HARRIS, THEY’RE NOT GOING TO
TAKE THAT SEAT.
MARIA: SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE
ROOT CAUSES.
I WOULD SAY THE ROOT CAUSE OF
