BACK TO YOU.
A VERY GOOD, CHRISTINA, THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.
JOINING ME IS CONGRESSMAN MIKE
WALTZ, REPUBLICAN FROM FLORIDA.
THE BORDER IS THE TOP PRIORITY
WHEN REPUBLICANS TAKE OVER IN
JANUARY SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS
WHAT EXACTLY CAN YOU DO IN THE
HOUSE TO BETTER SECURE THE
BORDER?
>> WELL, KEVIN MCCARTHY IS
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT TO HOLD
MAYORKAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
FENTANYL POURING ACROSS THE
BORDER, THE COCAINE YOU JUST
MENTIONED BUT ALSO THE RECORD
NUMBER OF DEATHS OF THESE POOR
PEOPLE TRYING TO CROSS THE
BORDER.
IN ADDITION TO THE 30 TO 40% OF
YOUNG GIRLS THAT ARE SOLD INTO
HUMAN TRAFFICKING OR SEXUALLY
ASSAULTED, IT IS DESPICABLE.
HE SHOULD RESIGN.
HE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
FROM A CONGRESSIONAL STAN POINT,
WE HAVE THE POWER OF --
STANDPOINT WE HAVE THE POWER OF
THE PURSE IN TERMS TO BUILD THE
BORDER FENCING AND WALL THAT HAS
ALREADY BEEN APPROPRIATED AND
WITHAPPROPRIATED ANDWITHHOLDING
THAT AND FINALLY WE WANT TO KNOW
WHAT IS MAYORKAS’ RESPONSIBILITY
HERE AND WHAT HAS HE PROPOSED TO
THE WHITE HOUSE AND WHAT IS
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN’S
RESPONSIBILITY?
HOW MUCH IS MAYORKAS FOLLOWING
ORDERS FROM A WHITE HOUSE WHO IS
CLEARLY FINE WITH A WIDE OPEN
BORDER.
ASHLEY: NEXT ONE, CONGRESSMAN, I
WANT TO GET INTO THIS CRAZY
STORY AND NEW REPORTS SHOW
HUNDREDS OF CHINESE-MADE DRONES
HAVE BEEN DETECTED IN RESTRICTED
AIR SPACE IN WASHINGTON DC. IS THERE A REAL THREAT OF
IS THERE A REAL THREAT OF
CHINESE ESPIONAGE?
>> IT’S GEOFENCING MEANING THE
DRONES CANNOT FLY OVER SENSITIVE
SITES OR DC ITSELF.
THE PROBLEM IS IT’S REALLY EASY,
ANYBODY CAN GO IN AND HACK THIS
TECHNOLOGY.
WHAT’S THE DANGER?
THEY COULD BE USED TO SWARM
AIRPORTS AND ACTUALLY TAKE
AIRLINERS DOWN.
THEY COULD BE USED TO SWARM A
CERTAIN ADDRESS OR A LARGE
GATHERING LIKE AN INAUGURATION.
OR THEY COULD SIT ON, FOR
EXAMPLE, A SENSITIVE BUILDING, A
SENSITIVE SITE AND COLLECT ALL
OF THE CELL, WIFI, AND OTHER
DATA AND IF THE CHINESE ARE
BEHIND IT, BY THEIR OWN LAW,
THAT COMPANY HAS TO PROVIDE ANY
DATA THAT THE CHINESE COMMUNIST
PARTY ASKS FOR AND WE’VE BANNED
THEM IN THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT.
SENATOR RUBIO IS LOOKING TO BAN
THEM GOVERNMENT WIDE, BUT WE
NEED TO DO EVEN MORE AND HAVE
STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
THAT ARE FLYING THESE THINGS SO
NOT ONLY DO WE NEED MORE
DEFENSES, WE NEED TO STOP
AMERICAN AGENCIES FROM USING
THESE CHINESE-MADE SURVEILLANCE
TOOLS.
ASHLEY: OKAY.
NEXTNEXT ONE FOR YOU, CONGRESSMA
PRESIDENT BIDEN TRYING TO TAKE
ON GUN OWNERSHIP OF THE SHOOTING
OF THE LGBTQ NIGHTCLUB IN
COLORADO.
LISTEN TO THIS.
>> THE IDEA WE STILL ALLOW
SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPONS TO BE
PURCHASED IS SICK.
IT’S JUST SICK.
IT HAS NO, NO SOCIAL VALUE.
SEE ROAR, NONE.
NOT A SINGLE SOLITARY RATIONAL
VALUE.
>> CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT GUN
LAWS DURING A LAME DUCK, SIR?
>> I’M GOING TO TRY.
>> WHAT WILL YOU TRY TO DO?
>> GET RID OF ASSAULT WEAPONS.
ASHLEY: THAT’S WHAT HE SAYS.
YOUR QUICK RESPONSE,
CONGRESSMAN, TO THAT.
>> ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE TO ADDRESS
THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE WAL-MART
SHOOTER PUBLISHED A MANIFESTO
THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO THIS AND
GUESS WHAT, HE DIDN’T USE A --
HE DIDN’T USE A RIFLE.
HE USED A HANDGUN BUT HE
TELEGRAPHED AND WE SEE THIS TIME
AND TIME AGAIN WITH MENTALLY
DISTURBED INDIVIDUALS,
TELEGRAPHING TO FAMILY, FRIENDS,
ASSOCIATED AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA
WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO DO, THAT’S
THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.
YOU KNOW, IT’S A CHEAP AND EASY
TALKING POINT TO POINT TO
RIFLES.
ASHLEY: WE’LL HAVE TO LEAVE IT
THERE.
