>> Cheryl:>> THE DOUBLE STANDARD
DAY, THE LIBERAL MEDIA UP IN
ARMS OVER THE BORDER CRISIS, BUT
ONLY AFTER TEXAS
GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT AGAIN
DROPPED BUSLOADS OF ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS OUTSIDE THE
VICE PRESIDENT’S HOME.
THIS TIME IT WAS ON
CHRISTMAS EVE.
INTERESTING THAT THOSE SAME
OUTLETS DIDN’T SEEM TO CARE MUCH
ABOUT THE THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS
WHO SLEPT ON THE FRIGID STREETS
OF EL PASO INTO CHRISTMAS
MORNING.
THE SITUATION THEY ARE
CONTINUING TO GET WORSE, AND
WITH THE SUPREME COURT SET TO
DECIDE THE FATE OF TITLE 42,
MAYBE IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS,
OVERRUN EL PASO IS PREPARING FOR
THE WORST.
BORDER PATROL THEY ARE SET UP A
MASSIVE TENT CITY JUST OUTSIDE
DOWNTOWN AHEAD OF THE EXPECTED
SURGE.
"THE NEW YORK POST" COVERED IT
THIS MORNING, CALLING IT A
"WELCOME MAT FOR ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION."
KATRINA, I THINK IT’S
INTERESTING THAT THE LEFT-WING
LIBERAL MEDIA IS DECIDING WHAT
IS A STORY AND WHAT ISN’T.
MIGRANTS FREEZING IN EL PASO,
NOT A STORY.
MIGRANTS FREEZING IN D.C.,
THAT’S A STORY.
BY THE WAY, THEY WERE PICKED UP
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BY
SOCIAL WORKERS AND TAKEN TO A
CHURCH.
>> Katrina: IT’S THE HYPOCRISY
OF ALL OF IT.
IT DOESN’T HIT THEM UNTIL IT
HITS THEM AT HOME, PUN INTENDED.
AND REMEMBER WHEN DeSANTIS DID
THIS, HE SHIPPED THEM AND ALL OF
THE SUDDEN THE MEDIA PAYS
ATTENTION.
IT IS SO SAD, BECAUSE THIS HAS
BEEN AN ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO
SOLUTION YET.
THE MEDIA ONLY COVERS IT WHEN
THEY ARE ACTUALLY SHIPPED TO THE
PRESIDENT OR VICE PRESIDENT’S
HOMES.
>> Cheryl: MICHELE, THIS LACK
OF FOCUS IS INTERESTING BECAUSE
IT’S ALSO SO SLANTED.
8500 MIGRANTS, I THINK, HAVE
COME TO NEW YORK CITY, RIGHT?
HOW ABOUT 200,000 INTO TEXAS?
THE NUMBERS DON’T ADD UP.
IT’S HORRIBLE.
MAYOR ERIC ADAMS HERE IN
NEW YORK, "MIGRANTS ARE
ARRIVING!"
>> Michele: NO ONE IS PAYING
ATTENTION TO THE SOUTHERN
BORDER.
AND IT IS, THE HYPOCRISY IS
RIDICULOUS.
I REMEMBER WHEN THEY TOOK THEM
TO MARTHA’S VINEYARD.
THAT WAS GOVERNOR DeSANTIS.
AND THE INTERNET WENT WILD, AND
THERE WAS TWITTER AND FACEBOOK,
AND HOW COOL, HOW AWFUL!
YES, SO CRUEL TO GO TO
MARTHA’S VINEYARD.
>> Cheryl: [LAUGHS]
>> Michele: BUT YOU’RE RIGHT,
AOC, WHEN TRUMP WAS IN OFFICE,
WAS DOWN THERE CRYING ABOUT THE
CONDITIONS OF THE PEOPLE IN
THESE SHELTERS AT THE BORDER.
NOW THE BORDER SHELTERS ARE
BEING OVERRUN, BABIES ARE DYING
EN ROUTE TO THE UNITED STATES,
WOMEN ARE BEING RAPED, STUFF IS
GOING ON AT RECORD NUMBERS.
WHERE IS AOC, AND WHERE IS THE
PRICE AT THE BORDER?
INSTEAD THEY WAIT UNTIL IT HIT
SOMEWHERE THAT MAYBE IS MORE
MEANINGFUL TO PEOPLE?
I DON’T KNOW WHY THAT’S RIGHT.
>> Cheryl: EITHER WAY,
JANETTE, IT’S A HUMAN TRAGEDY.
WHETHER IT’S HAPPENING IN
WASHINGTON OR NEW YORK OR
CHICAGO OR TEXAS.
THAT’S THE REAL TRAGEDY, TO
MICHELE’S POINT.
>> Dr. Nesheiwat: ABSOLUTELY.
TO MICHELE’S POINT, WHAT IS
CRUEL AND AWFUL IS INCENTIVIZING
AND ENCOURAGING ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT’S A
VERY DANGEROUS TREK.
EVEN WHEN THEY ENTER THE
UNITED STATES.
I HAVE PATIENCE HERE IN
TIMES SQUARE WHO WOULD COME INTO
THE PORT AUTHORITY, AND I HAD A
PATIENT COME IN, HE WAS STABBED
IN THE STOMACH.
I SAID TO HIM, WHY DIDN’T YOU
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION, GO TO
THE HOSPITAL?
HE TOLD ME THROUGH A TRANSLATOR
THAT HE WAS AFRAID OF BEING
DEPORTED.
SO WHEN THEY COME THROUGH THE
BORDER, LIKE YOU SAID, WOMEN AND
CHILDREN, RAPED.
THERE IS SEX TRAFFICKING.
AND THEN THE DRUGS, COCAINE,
HEROIN, METHAMPHETAMINE COMING
IN, CAUSING OVERDOSES.
>> Dr. Siegel: FENTANYL.
>> Dr. Nesheiwat: ABSOLUTELY,
FENTANYL IS A HUGE ONE.
THIS PAST QUARTER, 577,000
BORDER ENCOUNTERS.
HOW MANY OF THEM COULD HAVE BEEN
TERRORISTS ENTERING?
ONLY 200,000 OF THEM WERE
DEPORTED BECAUSE OF TITLE 42.
BUT 400,000 OF THEM WERE
RELEASED INTO THE UNITED STATES.
THAT IS SCARY.
STEEL AND WHAT IS INTERESTING,
DR. SIEGEL, AS WELL, IF YOU LOOK
AT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
HANDLING OF THIS, IT’S BEEN A
LOT OF GASLIGHTING FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION.
LET’S BE CLEAR HERE.
NOW WITH WHAT HAS HAPPENED AT
HARRIS’ HOME OVER THE WEEKEND,
IT’S A STORY.
BUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
NOT GOING TO LET THEM RELEASE
THOSE NUMBERS.
THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN
REPORTING AND SHOWING TO OUR
VIEWERS HERE AT FOX.
HERE ARE THE REAL NUMBERS IN THE
REAL STORY, WHETHER EVERYBODY
ELSE WANT TO IGNORE IT OR NOT.
NOW THE ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO
STOP THOSE.
>> Dr. Siegel: VERY SCARY.
THAT’S A GAG RULE AND THAT’S
GOING TO PREVENT DIFFERENT
STATIONS FROM SHARING
INFORMATION, DETENTION CENTERS.
THAT CAN IMPACT PUBLIC HEALTH.
DR. NESHEIWAT IS ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT, THAT THE TRAUMA OF PEOPLE
COMING ACROSS, INJURIES ARE THE
NUMBER ONE REASON THE HOSPITALS
ON THE BORDER ARE BEING FLOODED.
IF TITLE 42 IS PULLED BACK,
WHICH, BY THE WAY, SIMPLY GIVES
THE CDC DIRECTOR THE RIGHT TO
STOP ENTRY INTO THE
UNITED STATES FOR PUBLIC HEALTH
REASONS IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
STILL CALLING A PUBLIC HEALTH
EMERGENCY BECAUSE OF COVID.
THERE IS AN INCONSISTENCY HERE.
IT’S GOING TO DOUBLE THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE COMING ACROSS THE
BORDER.
IT’LL BE 13,000 A DAY.
MY SOURCES TELL ME DOWN IN
EL PASO, PHYSICIANS AT THE
HOSPITAL, GUESS WHAT?
THEY ARE NOT READY IN A MILLION
YEARS FOR THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS
THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE FROM
CONTAGIONS, FROM INFECTIOUS
DISEASES, FROM TRAUMA, FROM
DEHYDRATION, FROM CONTAMINATED
WATER.
ALL OF THIS IS AN ENORMOUS MESS.
NOT TO
MENTION -- DR. ROBERT REDFIELD
TOLD ME THIS, THE FORMER CDC
DIRECTOR -- THE CONCERN FOR THE
CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION
AGENTS THEMSELVES.
>> Cheryl: TO YOUR POINT,
MICHELE, WE HAVE SEEN HIGH RATES
OF SUICIDE, ALCOHOLISM.
THERE IS A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS
GOING ON WITH THOSE BORDER
AGENTS DOWN IN TEXAS.
LET’S GO BACK HERE.
PRESIDENT BIDEN, HE WENT TO
ARIZONA RECENTLY, BUT COULDN’T
BE BOTHERED TO HOP IN HIS
HELICOPTER FOR A WET, A 45 MINUTE
FLIGHT DOWN TO THE BORDER?
I DON’T HAVE TIME, NO CREASES OF
THE BORDER.
>> Michele: THEY ARE SO AFRAID
OF THE OPTICS OF HIM STANDING
THERE LOOKING AT THIS DAMAGE.
THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE AFRAID OF.
FOR HIM TO SAY THEY’RE MORE
IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO?
IMAGINE THIS, THE HYPOCRISY OF
PUTTING A GAG ORDER ON THE
NUMBERS FOR THE CDC.
IMAGINE FOUR YEARS AGO IF THE
TRUMP WHITE HOUSE HAD PUT THE
KIBOSH ON RELEASING NUMBERS OF
DEATHS OR INFECTED OF COVID.
IMAGINE THE UPROAR THEY WOULD
BE.
BUT THERE DOESN’T SEEM TO BE AN
UPROAR HERE ABOUT, LET’S NOT
TELL PEOPLE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
CROSSING THE BORDER.
>> Cheryl: JANETTE, SOMETHING
YOU SAID, I’M WORRIED ABOUT THIS
MASSIVE TENT CITY THEY ARE
BUILDING IN EL PASO, AND I’M
THINKING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF
THESE MIGRANTS.
THAT IS CONCERNING.
IT’S A GOOD POINT.
>> Dr. Nesheiwat: WHAT THEY
ARE DOING IS PREPARING FOR MORE
IMMIGRANTS INSTEAD OF COMING UP
WITH SOLUTIONS TO STOP THEM FROM
COMING ACROSS THE BORDER.
I THINK -- AND MAYBE DR. SIEGEL
WOULD AGREE WITH ME -- KEEP
TITLE 42 IN PLACE, BUT EXPANDED
TO INCLUDE HIV, TUBERCULOSIS,
HEPATITIS, IN ADDITION TO
TITLE 8.
OTHERWISE WE ARE JUST PUTTING A
BAND-AID ON A VERY HEMORRHAGIC
SOLUTION THAT IS REALLY NOT
GOING TO WORK IN THE LONG RUN.
>> Dr. Siegel: COMPLETELY
AGREE.
BY THE WAY, IF YOU TRY TO COME
HERE LEGALLY, THEY SCREEN YOU
FOR EVERYTHING.
>> Cheryl: THAT’S WHAT I DON’T
GET, KATRINA PAID YOU AND I
TRAVEL A LOT FOR OUR SHOWS ON
FOX BUSINESS.
IF I TRAVEL IN AND OUT OF THE
COUNTRY, AND THE PASSPORT AND
ALL THAT, BUT IF I WANT TO COME
OVER THE SOUTHERN BORDER, WALK
ON A CROSS.
[LAUGHS]
>> Katrina: YOU AND I TRAVEL A
LOT FOR OUR SHOWS ON
FOX BUSINESS.
AND SO FORTH.
IT IS CRAZY, THE REJECTIONS WE
HAVE PAID WE HAVE TO BE TESTED
FOR THIS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS
VACCINE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS,
AND YET PEOPLE ARE COMING OVER
THE BORDER.
I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE PERSONALLY
RISKING THEIR LIVES BECAUSE THEY
WANT TO GIVE THEIR CHILDREN A
BETTER FUTURE HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
WHAT I UNDERSTAND.
MY PARENTS CAME HERE AT A VERY
YOUNG AGE, THEY WERE SEVEN YEARS
OLD, FROM CUBA, BUT THEY DID AT
THE RIGHT WAY.
I’M ALL ABOUT THE AMERICAN
DREAM, BUT ABOUT FOLLOWING THE
RULES.
>> Cheryl: WELL,
GEORGE W. BUSH HAD A PLAN FOR
IMMIGRATION.
HE JUST NEVER GOT IT OVER THE
GOAL LINE, UNFORTUNATELY.
THE FORMER TEXAS GOVERNOR, THEN
PRESIDENT, SAYS WE NEED TO HAVE
A PATH FOR CITIZENSHIP.
