LIZ: TERRIFIC REPORTING AS
ALWAYS.
CASEY STEGAL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
CONGRESSMAN, IT’S A PLEASURE
HAVING YOU ON AS WELL.
IT’S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
OKAY, LET’S GET TO THIS, WE HAVE
A UNIT, THE DEFENSE TECHNICAL
INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION UNIT.
THEY HAVE WARNED, IT’S AT THE
PENTAGON.
THIS UNIT WARNED THAT CHINA IS
"COMPLIES SET IN PUSHING
FENTANYL INTO THE U.S. AND
DESTABILIZE AND UNDERMINE AND
WEAKEN THE U.S.".
THIS IS AMERICA’S NEXT NATIONAL
SECURITY CRISIS.
WHAT IS CHINA DOING ABOUT IT?
>> PERHAPS WE SHOULD ASK WHY THE
PRESIDENT IS COMPLIES COMPLICIT
TOO.
IN A CRISIS.
A CRISIS IMPLIED SOMETHING OUT
OF YOUR CONTROL BUT THIS IS
CLEARLY WITHIN THE PRESIDENT’S
CONTROL.
THE LAST PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT
TRUMP, HE WENT ALMOST TO WAR
WITH CHINA TO GET THEM TO STOP
CERTAIN BAD ACTIVITY.
THIS PRESIDENT HAS DONE NO SUCH
THING AND ISN’T EVEN PUSHING
BACK VERY HARD ON THEIR
MANEUVERS NEAR TAIWAN.
CHINA IS COMPLICIT BUT SO IS
PRESIDENT BIDEN.
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS A POLICY
THAT’S BEEN FACILITATING HUMAN
TRAFFICKING, FACILITATING THE
GROWTH OF FENTANYL COMING OVER
THE BORDER, AND COULD HE DO
SOMETHING TO STOP IT WITH HIS
RELATIONSHIP WITH CHINA?
ABSOLUTELY.
COULD HE DO SOMETHING TO STOP IT
WITH MEXICO?
ABSOLUTELY.
COULD HE HAVE CONTINUED WITH
REMAIN IN MEXICO AND HAD SOME
REAL CONTROL OF THE BORDER?
ABSOLUTELY.
BUT HE HASN’T, WHICH MEANS THAT
IN FACT THIS PRESIDENT IS
COMPLICIT WITH THE CHINESE IN
THE BRINGING OF FENTANYL IN
THAT’S KILLING TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF AMERICANS, MORE AMERICANS
WILL DIE OF FENTANYL THAN EVER
DIED OF COVID.
LIZ: YOU’VE SAID TRUMP ALMOST
WENT TO WAR WITH CHINA.
THAT HE WAS DOING TARIFFS AND
THE LIKE AND REALLY PUSHING BACK
HARD ON CHINA?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
WHEN I SAY WENT TO WAR, I’M
SAYING HE USED ALL THE POWERS HE
HAD TO CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR
TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
THIS PRESIDENT HAS NOT EXERCISED
HIS POWERS TO CHANGE THE
BEHAVIOR OF CHINA OR MEXICO OR
THE OTHER NEIGHBORS, AND IT’S
THE REASON THAT QUITE FRANKLY
THE BORDER IS OPEN.
LIZ: WE SHOULD POINT OUT THAT
CHINA ACCORDING TO BROOKINGS
INSTITUTION, RAND CORPORATION,
MILITARY STUDIES WE’VE SEEN,
IT’S NOT JUST FENTANYL.
THEY SELL PRECURSOR CHEMICALS
FOR COCAINE, FOR METH AND
HEROIN.
AND TO YOUR POINT, FENTANYL IS
POURING OVER THE OPEN BORDER
THAT CRITICS CALL BIDEN’S OPEN
BORDER AND THAT CHINA DOES NOT
DO ENOUGH TO CRACK DOWN ON ITS
PHARMACEUTICALS AND CHEMICALS
INDUSTRIES IN TERMS OF TRACKING
WHERE THOSE CHEMICALS AND
PRECURSOR CHEMICALS ARE USED FOR
DRUGS AND WHERE THEY END UP.
IS THAT WHAT YOU’RE HEARING TOO?
>> EXACTLY.
THERE’S ONE THING, NO CONTAINER
MOVES IN CHINA TO THE PORT THAT
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT DOESN’T
KNOW WHAT’S IN IT, WHAT THE
PURPOSE IS, AND HAVE THE ABILITY
TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER IT’S IN
THEIR BEST INTEREST.
THIS IS A HIGHLY CONTROLLED
COUNTRY.
YES, THEY, CHINA, DOES KNOW
WHAT’S GOING THAT CAN’T BE
LEGITIMATELY TRACKED TO A U.S.
PHARMACEUTICAL.
LET’S BE HONEST, WHEN YOU’RE
SENDING LARGE AMOUNTS OF THE
PRECURSORS TO MEXICO BECAUSE
THEY’VE STARTED MAKING FENTANYL
IN MEXICO, IT’S PRETTY CLEAR
THAT WHAT YOU’RE DOING IS
SHIPPING CHEMICALS FAR GREATER
THAN THE AMOUNT OF
ANESTHESIOLOGISTS USING FENTANYL
IN MEXICO.
LIZ: DO YOU THINK CHINA IS DOING
IT PURPOSESLY TO DESTABILIZE THE
U.S.?
>> I BELIEVE IT’S IN THEIRS AND
RUSSIA’S BEST INTEREST TO HAVE A
DESTABILIZED U.S..
CAN YOU CALL SOME BENIGN NEGLECT
AND THE OTHER PART ANEPHROUS
ACTION?
YES, IT’S A BIT OF BOTH.
NOT LIFTING A HAND TO HELP A
NEIGHBOR WHEN TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF AMERICANS ARE DYING OF THE
OVERDOSES IS JUST AS SERIOUS AS
IF IT’S A CONSPIRACY TO
UNDERMINE OUR COUNTRY.
I THINK THAT YOU CAN CERTAINLY
MAKE THE CASE SOME COULD BE
BENIGN AND NEGLECT BUT I’M NOT
MAKING THE CASE FOR PRESIDENT
BIDEN.
HE KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING AND
