TRAVEL WILL COME TO A HALT.
>> Bill: ROBERT RAY, WE’LL HOPE
FOR THE BEST.
>> Dana: TEXAS GOVERNOR ABBOTT
ALSO CONCERNED BY THE DRIP
FREEZE GRIPPING THE U.S.
LOOK AT THE MAP THERE.
IT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO
LAREDO AND EL PASO FOR SURE.
ABBOTT SAYS PRESIDENT BIDEN’S
LACK OF BORDER POLICY IS PUTTING
LIVES AT RISK.
IT IS EXPECTED TO CREATE
DANGEROUS CONDITIONS FOR
THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS CAMPING
OUTSIDE.
JOINING US NOW THE TEXAS
GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT.
THE ADMINISTRATION YESTERDAY
ASKED THE SUPREME COURT LET’S
PUNT THIS DECISION ON TITLE 42
FOR ANOTHER WEEK BECAUSE THEY’LL
GET TO HAVE THEIR HOLIDAY.
NO ONE THAT WORKS FOR YOU IS
GOING TO GET TO SPEND THEIR
CHRISTMAS WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT
HOW TO MANAGE THIS CRISIS ON THE
BORDER, SIR.
>> SO WE’RE HAVING TO MANAGE THE
CRISIS OF THE BORDER REGARDLESS
WHAT’S HAPPENING.
EVEN BEFORE THE POTENTIAL
LIFTING OF TITLE 42, WE’VE SEEN
THIS MASSIVE INFLUX.
YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO SEE THE
WAY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS
HANDLED THIS WHOLE SITUATION.
THEY’VE HANDLED THE BORDER
CRISIS AND CREATED THE BORDER
CRISIS THE EXACT WAY THEY WERE
RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING THE
CRISIS IN AFGHANISTAN.
COMPLETELY UNPREPARED, COMPLETE
DISASTER, AND TEXAS IS LEFT TO
PICK UP THE PIECES OF THE
DISASTER CAUSED BY THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION.
>> Bill: THE OTHER DAY VICE
PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE WAS WITH US
AND WE ASKED HIM WHY THIS IS
GOING ON.
BECAUSE OF AN OPEN BORDER
POLICY.
THAT WAS HIS ANSWER NOW.
YOU WERE ASKED ABOUT THIS BY
ABC’S REPORTER AND IT HAS GOTTEN
A LOT OF ATTENTION.
I’LL ASK YOU ABOUT THIS.
WATCH.
>> YOU TALK ABOUT THE BORDER
WALL, YOU TALK ABOUT OPEN
BORDERS.
I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER HEARD
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAY WE HAVE AN
OPEN BORDER, COME ON OVER.
PEOPLE I HAVE HEARD SAY IT ARE
YOU, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, RON
DESANTIS.
>> Bill: HOW DID YOU ANSWER THAT
QUERY?
>> I EXPLAINED TO HER FOR ONE
HOW THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS
BEEN CONSTANTLY TALKING ABOUT
OPEN BORDERS ENTICING PEOPLE TO
COME INTO THE UNITED STATES.
BUT ALSO I EXPLAINED THAT IF YOU
GO BACK IN TIME JUST 2 1/2 YEARS
AGO IT WAS THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION THAT IMPOSED THE
TITLE 42, THE REMAIN IN MEXICO,
THE END OF CATCH AND RELEASE AND
BUILDING THE WALL.
WHAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
HAS DONE WAS LEAD TO THE LOWEST
BORDER CROSSINGS IN DECADES.
IT WAS ONLY AFTER JOE BIDEN TOOK
OFFICE AND USED HIS OPEN BORDER
POLICIES WE HAVE AN ALL-TIME
RECORD IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
COMING ACROSS THE BORDER
ILLEGALLY.
>> Dana: I WONDERED ABOUT WHAT
YOU HAVE SEEN OF THE OMNIBUS
BILL TO TRY TO PASS FOR THE
YEAR.
$25 BILLION FOR THE CBP BUT SAYS
YOU CAN’T SPEND IT ON BORDER
PATROL.
IN THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS MAYBE
EVEN MONTHS KARINE JEAN-PIERRE,
THE PRESIDENT’S WHITE HOUSE
PRESS SECRETARY SAID IF
REPUBLICANS WOULD JUST HELP THEM
PASS MORE MONEY THIS PROBLEM
WOULD BE SOLVED.
IS THAT HOW YOU SEE IT?
>> WELL, FOR ONE, IF THEY PASS
MORE MONEY, BUT IT HAD TO BE
PASSED TO BE USED EFFECTIVELY TO
ACTUALLY SECURE THE BORDER.
WHAT THE OMNIBUS BILL -- EASY TO
SAY -- WHAT IT DOES NOT PROVIDE
IS FOR MORE SECURITY.
LOOK, LET’S GO BACK AND LOOK AT
SOME OF THE OUTRAGEOUS THINGS IN
THERE.
I KNOW THAT THE UNITED STATES IS
COMMITTED TO TRY TO HELP
UKRAINE.
I JUST WISH AND AMERICAN PEOPLE
WOULD HOPE THAT FOR EVERY DOLLAR
THEY GIVE TO THE UKRAINE, THEY
WOULD GIVE JUST A DIME TO SECURE
OUR OWN BORDER.
IN THAT VERY BILL THEY ARE
GIVING MONEY TO TUNISIA BUT NOT
TO TEXAS TO DEAL WITH THEIR
BORDER SECURITY PROBLEM.
THE PRIORITY ESTABLISHED IN THAT
BILL ARE REPREHENSIBLE WHEN IT
COMES TO ADDRESSING THE REAL
NEEDS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE
OPEN BORDER POLICIES THAT
CONGRESS HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO
STEP UP AND SOLVE.
ARTICLE ONE, SECTION EIGHT OF
THE CONSTITUTION SAYS THIS IS
CONGRESS’S RESPONSIBILITY.
THEY ARE PASSING A FUNDING BILL
THAT DOES NOT HAVE THEM LIVE UP
TO THE RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER
THE CONSTITUTION.
>> Bill: LAST POINT HERE.
IT IS NOT JUST PEOPLE WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT HERE.
CHECK THIS OUT.
DERRICK MALTS WITH RICH EDSON.
>> THE END OF TITLE 42 WILL ADD
A HUGE REVENUE OPPORTUNITY FOR
THE CARTELS.
IT IS GOING TO INCREASE THE
DEADLY SUPPLY OF FENTANYL AND
THE TSUNAMI OF THESE LETHAL
SUBSTANCES ENTERING THE COUNTRY
DAILY.
>> Bill: THAT ALONE SHOULD CALL
FOR GREATER BORDER SECURITY,
SIR.
>> 100%.
SO JUST TEXAS LAW ENFORCEMENT
ALONE HAS SEIZED ENOUGH FENTANYL
TO KILL EVERY AMERICAN.
YOU WOULD THINK THAT ALONE WOULD
CAUSE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
TO WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT.
THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH OF
PEOPLE BETWEEN 18 AND 45 IS
FENTANYL.
YET JOE BIDEN SEEMS LIKE HE
COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THAT FACT.
>> Dana: GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT,
YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLATE AND
WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS AS
WELL.
>> THANK YOU ALL, MERRY
