>> WE HAD DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS WHO WERE WITH US FOUR
HOURS AGO WHO ARE NOT WITH US
NOW THAT SHOULD TELL THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE EVERYTHING.
PEOPLE WILL ARE WILL CHOICES IN
NOVEMBER MUCH MORE THAN
POLITICS.
IT’S NATIONAL SECURITY.
>> SPARRING OVER PRESIDENT
BIDEN’S BORDER CRISIS AS G.O.P.
LAWMAKERS GET A FIRSTHAND LOOK
AT THE CRISIS ON DEMOCRATS’ STAY
IN D.C.
CONGRESSMAN BRIAN STILES WAS
PART OF THAT CONGRESSIONAL TRIP.
HE JOINS ME NOW.
CONGRESSMAN, THANK YOU FOR
TAKING TIME.
WHAT DID YOU SEE THERE AND WHY
ARE THE DEMOCRATS, COLLEAGUES OF
YOURS, NOT SEEING IT THE SAME
WAY?
OUR DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES TOOK
US TO THE UNITED STATES BORDER
THEY WANTED TO TALK ABOUT
INFRASTRUCTURE AND INVESTMENT.
THEY REFUSE TO TALK ABOUT THE
CRISES THE DEMOCRATS ARE
CREATING.
THE BORDER CRISIS, INFLATION
CRISIS, THE CRIME CRISIS.
REPUBLICANS ON THE COMMITTEE SAW
FIRSTHAND BY GOING TO THE
BORDER.
THE PROBLEMS THAT THIS
ADMINISTRATION HAS CAUSED.
OVER 3 MILLION, 3 MILLION
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HAVE COME
ACROSS THE BORDER SINCE
PRESIDENT BIDEN TOOK OFFICE.
THAT’S THREE TIMES THE STATE OF
DELAWARE.
POPULATION WE HAVE SEEN OVER
3,600 POUNDS OF FENTANYL
CAPTURED AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
THAT’S 3 BILLION LETHAL DOSES.
IT’S IMPACTING CITIES NOT ONLY
ACROSS THE BORDER BUT THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
WE ARE SEEING COUNTIES IN
SOUTHEAST, WISCONSIN, 68 PEOPLE
DIED AN ILLICIT FENTANYL
OVERDOSE LAST YEAR.
THE PROBLEMS THIS ADMINISTRATION
IS CREATING AT THE U.S.-MEXICO
BORDER ARE IMPACTING NOT ONLY
THE COMMUNITIES AT THE BORDER
AND WE SAW THAT FIRSTHAND THEY
ARE IMPACTING EVERY CITY IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
>> Griff: VIEWERS ARE WATCHING
FOOTAGE I SHOT TWO WEEKS AGO I
WAS IN THAT RGV SECTOR YOU WERE.
THE LAWMAKERS THAT OF THE HAVE
HAD.
HOW CAN YOU FIX IT?
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
REPUBLICANS ARE IN THE MINORITY
HERE IS THERE ANYTHING YOU THINK
YOU COULD DO TO HELP FIX THE
PROBLEM?
>> WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS SEND A
MESSAGE THAT OUR BORDER IS NO
LONGER OPEN.
UNFORTUNATELY THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION CONTINUES TO SEND
THE OPPOSITE MESSAGE THAT THE
UNITED STATES BORDER IS OPEN AND
UNSECURE.
WE HAVE TO LOOK OUT TO NOVEMBER
TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE TIDE ON
THIS AND TO FINALLY BEGIN TO
REBUILD THE WALL.
YOU GOT TO REMEMBER THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION STOPPED
CONSTRUCTION OF THE WALL ON DAY
ONE.
THEN THEY PASSED INCREDIBLE
INFLATION CAUSING STIMULUS
PROGRAMS WITH ZERO DOLLARS FOR
BORDER SECURITY.
AND THE $1.9 TRILLION UNDER THE
GITZ OF COVID, ZERO DOLLARS FOR
BORDER SECURITY, $1.2 TRILLION
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.
ZERO DOLLARS FOR BORDER
SECURITY.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OWN
BUDGET CUTS DHS BY $800 MILLION.
WE GOT FUND THE BORDER SECURITY.
IT’S ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE AND
DRAWING ATTENTION THOUGH THIS IS
NEEDED.
>> Griff: CONGRESSMAN, YOU
MENTIONED THE WORD INFLATION.
I WANT TO QUICKLY GET THAT IN.
BECAUSE JANET YELLEN, TREASURY
SECRETARY YESTERDAY SAID ON THE
SUNDAY SHOWS THAT RECESSION IS
NOT NECESSARILY INEVITABLE.
>> THIS IS THE SAME JANET YELLEN
WHO TOLD US THAT INFLATION WAS
TRANSITORY.
SHE IS WRONG ABOUT THAT ABOUT TO
BE WRONG ON THE RECESSION
’LOOKING AT HISTORY AND ALL THE
INDICATORS.
IS THE ADMINISTRATION LYING TO
US AT THIS POINT?
>> THE ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO
CONTINUE TO PUT THEIR HEAD IN
THE SAND AS IT RELATES TO
INFLATION.
WE ARE WAY BEHIND THE 8 BALL.
WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM AHEAD OF
US.
WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN
TO STOP THE RUN AWAY SPENDING IN
WASHINGTON THAT’S FUELING
INFLATIONARY ENVIRONMENT THAT WE
SEE.
GETS SPENDING UNDER CONTROL.
THE ADMINISTRATION WANT TO DO
ANYTHING BUT.
WE ARE BEHIND THE 8 BALL.
WE HAVE GOT CHALLENGING WATERS
AHEAD OF US.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN HOLD OFF A
RECESSION.
IT’S GOING TO TAKE POLICY
CHANGES IN WASHINGTON LIKE
UNLEASHING AMERICAN ENERGY TO
PREVENT A TRUE RECESSION FROM
COMING.
>> Griff: WE SHALL SEE IF THAT
HAPPENS MIDTERMS.
A LOT OF FOCUS ON THE PAIN
AMERICANS ARE FEELING AT THE
PUMP AND AT THE GROCERY STORE
AND EVERYWHERE ELSE.
BRYAN STEIL CONGRESSMAN, THANK
YOU FOR TAKING TIME WITH US THIS
