COMING IN AT 48%, IMMIGRATION.
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE
MIGRATION PROBLEM AT OUR
SOUTHERN BORDER FOR A WHILE LAST
HOUR WE UNDERSTAND ANOTHER BUS
HAS ARRIVED AT THE PORT
AUTHORITY OF NEW YORK AND NEW
JERSEY.
IT DOWNLOADED A BUNCH OF PEOPLE.
WE ARE -- SURE LOOKS LIKE THE
BUSES THAT HAVE BEEN SHIPPED
FROM TEXAS AT THE EXPENSE OF
TEXAS GOVERNOR ABBOTT.
$1,300 PER PERSON IS WHAT HE IS
SPENDING TO SEND MIGRANTS TO NEW
YORK.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF
MIGRANTS BUSED SO FAR BY THE
GOVERNOR.
D.C. HAS GOT 7700.
BEFORE THIS BUS CAME, IN NEW
YORK CITY HAD 2100.
AND CHICAGO JUST A LITTLE MORE
THAN 150.
>> Ainsley: THOSE NUMBERS DON’T
INCLUDE THE TWO BUSS THAT CAME
IN THIS MORNING.
WE HAVE TWO THAT PULLED INTO NEW
YORK CITY.
81 PEOPLE.
10 CHILDREN.
>> Brian: ONE THING IS PRETTY
FINALLY, MAYOR ADAMS SEES WHAT
HAPPENED.
IMMEDIATELY HE SAYS IT’S
BARBARIC, IT’S TERRIBLE.
HOW COULD GOVERNOR ABBOTT DO
SOMETHING SO CRUEL, SO UNKIND
THEN HE REALIZES WAIT.
I’M SANCTUARY CITY.
WHY SHOULD MAYBE ON SOME LEVEL
WHY SHOULDN’T NEW YORK BE
EXEXEMPTED AND TEXAS
SUSCEPTIBLE.
THEN HE WATCHES ALL THE
ATTENTION GO TO THE MAYOR OF
CHICAGO WHEN SHE STARTS SAYING
HORRIFIC THINGS ABOUT THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS.
GOVERNOR OF TEXAS.
>> SO TO HIS CREDIT, NEW YORK
CITY MAYOR ADAMS HAS SENT A
DELEGATION DOWN FOR HIMSELF TO
SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE
BORDER.
I THINK HE MISSED A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY TO GO WITH ABBOTT.
SEE FOR HIMSELF.
>> Ainsley: ABBOTT WAS
UNRESPONSIVE.
ABBOTT ASKED HIM TO COME DOWN IN
THE VERY BEGINNING.
>> Steve: THEY DID.
ONE OF THE REASONS.
THERE YOU CAN SEE THE DELEGATION
FROM NEW YORK CITY IN EAGLE
PASS.
AND IN ADDITION TO LOOKING AT
THAT NOW ENINFAMOUS SCENE UNDER
THAT BRIDGE WHERE OUR LIVE
REPORTERS ARE.
THEY ALSO TOURED A TEMPORARY
PROCESSING FACILITY PACKED WITH
1,000 PEOPLE.
NOW, KEEP IN MIND.
1,000 PEOPLE, SOME OF THEM WILL
BE HEADING FOR NEW YORK CITY.
AND ONE OF THE REASONS HE SENT
THE FACT-FINDING MISSION DOWN
THERE WAS BECAUSE WE HAVE HEARD
THAT THE CONDITIONS ARE INHUMAN
ON THE BUSES.
AND WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING
TRICKED.
SO, ANYWAY, THE MAYOR’S OFFICE
SENT THIS STATEMENT OUT THAT
SAID THE TEXAS GOVERNOR’S OFFICE
HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE AND HAS
TURNED THIS MATTER INTO A
POLITICAL SIDE SHOW.
WE HAVE SENT MEMBERS DOWN OF THE
TEAM DOWN ON FACT FINDING
MISSION TO HEAR DIRECTLY FROM
FOLKS ON THE GROUND ALONG THE
SOUTHERN BORDER AND GET REAL
ANSWERS WE ARE NOT GETTING FROM
TEXAS.
INCLUDING WHETHER THEY ARE
SEEKING ASYLUM SEEKERS TO SEND
NEW YORK CITY EVEN IF THEY
PREFER TO GO ELSEWHERE.
IF YOU NEED TO FIND THE FACTS
YOU, HERE ARE THE FACTS.
THE JOE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
LETTING PEOPLE.
IN TEXAS IS GOING WE CAN’T TAKE
CARE OF ALL OF THEM SO WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO SHIP SOME
PEOPLE OUT.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?
IT’S THAT SIMPLE.
>> Ainsley: GOVERNOR ABBOTT, HIS
PRESS SECRETARY RESPONDED SAYING
GOVERNOR ABBOTT’S INVITATION IS
STILL OPEN FOR MAYOR ADAMS TO
COME VISIT OUR SOUTHERN BORDER
AND SEE FIRSTHAND THE
DEVASTATING IMPACTS OF THE
BIDEN-MADE CRISIS ON BORDER
TOWNS, SMALLER THAN NYC BURROW.
INSTEAD OF SENDING HIS STAFFERS
ON A SECRET TRIP TO TEXAS.
>> Brian: IF YOU DON’T STOP --
IF YOU DON’T VOTE AGAINST THIS.
IF YOU SEE THIS AND YOU ARE AN
AMERICAN AND YOU ARE NOT
OUTRAGED BY THIS AND DON’T GO --
VOTE ABOUT THIS, IF YOU -- WE
HAVEN’T SEEN NOTHING YET.
IT IS -- THEY ARE GOING TO COME
FROM EVERYWHERE AROUND THE WORLD
BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONE
OPPORTUNITY WHERE THE PRESIDENT
HAS TOTALLY DROPPED THE BALL AND
LETTING EVERYBODY.
IN INCLUDING DRUG OFFENDERS, SEX
OFFENDERS, WE KNOW ABOUT THE
ILLEGAL DRUGS POURING ACROSS OUR
BORDER.
IF THERE ISN’T A STAUNCH REBUKE
AT THE BOX OFFICE, AT THE BALLOT
BOX IN NOVEMBER, WE ARE DOOMED
FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE SAYS NO ONE
IS WALKING ACROSS THE BORDER.
REMEMBER THAT?
ALSO, THAT PROMPTED TED CRUZ TO
ACT.
LET’S LISTEN.
>> BUT THAT’S NOT -- IT’S NOT
LIKE SOMEBODY WALKS OVER.
[LAUGHTER]
THAT’S NOT HOW.
>> Peter: THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT’S
HANG.
>> IT’S NOT THAT SIMPLE.
IT’S NOT JUST THAT PEOPLE ARE
WALKING ACROSS -- ACROSS THE
BORDER.
>> SENATOR TED CRUZ HAS PUBLICLY
INVITED, SUGGESTED THAT YOU COME
DOWN TO SEE THAT FOR YOURSELF.
>> WHO?
>> SENATOR TED CRUZ OF TEXAS.
HE HAS SUGGESTED THAT YOU COME
DOWN AND SEE FOR YOURSELF
WHETHER MIGRANTS ARE ACTUALLY
CROSSING THE BORDER.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD
TAKE HIM UP ON.
>> I CERTAINLY DON’T NEED
LECTURES OR INVITATIONS FROM
REPUBLICANS ABOUT THE BORDER OR
BORDER POLICIES.
AND, YOU KNOW, I CERTAINLY WON’T
TAKE ADVICE ON BORDER FROM
ANYONE WHO VOTED AGAINST
SECURING RECORD LEVEL OF FUNDING
FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY.
>> Brian: READ THAT FROM HER
BINDER.
>> Steve: JUST LIKE HER BOSS,
SHE DOES NOT WANT TO GO DOWN AND
SEE WITH HER OWN TWO EYES PEOPLE
ARE ACTUALLY WALKING ACROSS THE
BORDER.
ALTHOUGH, YOU KNOW, BORDER
PATROL IS SAYING DON’T TRY TO
SWIM ACROSS THE RIVER BECAUSE
THE WATER, YOU KNOW, THERE HAS
BEEN A LOT OF RAIN AND IT’S VERY
PERILOUSPERILOUS.
SHE DOESN’T WANT TO SEE IT WITH
OTHER OWN TWO EYES LIKE HER
BOSS, JOE BIDEN, WHO HAS NEVER
BEEN TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
HE FLEW INTO THE AIRPORT.
HE NIGHT HAVE SEEN THE AREA NEAR
THE BORDER THROUGH THE REAR VIEW
MIRROR OF HIS MOTORCADE.
>> Ainsley: SHE SAID WE DON’T
TAKE INVITATIONS -- I DON’T NEED
AN INVITATION TO A REPUBLICAN.
STEVE: I DON’T NEED TO BE
LECTURED.
>> Ainsley: SENATOR TED CRUZ
RESPONDED.
LISTEN.
I WILL TELL YOU.
WHAT I’M GOING TO GIVE A
CHALLENGE TO KARINE JEAN-PIERRE.
COME TO THE BORDER SPEND 60
MINUTES, ONE HOUR, WITH ME AND
THE BORDER PATROL UNION.
WE WILL ENCOUNTER DOZENS IF NOT
HUNDREDS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
COMING ACROSS.
AND IF WE DON’T, LET’S BRING THE
ENTIRE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS
AND ONE OF TWO THINGS WILL
HAPPEN IF WE DON’T ENCOUNTER
ANYONE, I WILL STAND UP AND SAY
I WAS WRONG.
BUT WHEN WE ENCOUNTER HUNDREDS
OF PEOPLE CROSSING, DO YOU HAVE
THE COURAGE AND INTEGRITY TO
STAND IN FRONT OF THE PRESS
CORPS YOU ARE LYING TO AND SAY I
LIED TO YOU?
THAT’S WHAT AN HONEST WHITE
HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY WOULD SAY.
>> Brian: THE ONE THING THAT
COULD CHANGE IS THE BUSS ARE
GETTING ATTENTION IN THE
BEGINNING 20 PEOPLE ON A BUS IN
D.C.
IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS FIZZLING,
NOW EVERYONE IS GETTING ON.
ILLEGALS SAY I WOULD LOVE TO
COME TO NEW YORK.
I WOULD PREFER TO GO TO CHICAGO.
I DON’T NECESSARILY WANT TO SEND
IN A SMALL TOWN OF TEXAS THAT
DOESN’T WANT ME THERE.
THE OTHER THING THEY COULD DO IF
THERE IS ANYBODY A REAL ESTATE
PERSON WHO OWNS A SIGNIFICANT
PART OF REAL ESTATE IN D.C., PUT
IT ON THE BIG SCREEN.
A LIVE SHOT OF WHAT BILL MELUGIN
SEES EVERY DAY, WE WILL USE OUR
DRONE CAMERA AND A JUST SHOW IT
AND SEE IF THE PRESIDENT WILL
SOMEHOW GLANCE OVER AND OTHER
LAWMAKERS GLANCE OVER AND SEE
THE HELL THAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT
NOW AT OUR BORDER.
SEE HOW CONCERNED WE SHOULD BE
ABOUT OUR OWN SECURITY WELLS THE
DRUGS THAT ARE POURING THROUGH.
FEEL WHAT THE BORDER PATROL IS
FEELING ON DAILY BASIS.
THAT’S THE ONLY THING IF SOMEONE
HAD SOME PROPERTY NEAR THE WHITE
HOUSE AND CONGRESS THAT COULD
JUST PROJECT WHAT’S GOING ON IN
TEXAS AND ARIZONA.
>> Ainsley: I THINK BIDEN WANTS
VISIT.
SHE HAS BEEN INVITED.
THEY ARE COMMENTING ON THE
SITUATION.
SHE SAYS THEY ARE NOT WALKING
ACROSS THE BORDER.
THEY ARE NOT DOWN THERE.
THEY ARE NOT WATCHING.
THEY ARE NOT GOING.
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS BEEN IN
OFFICE FOR TWO YEARS NOW AS
PRESIDENT.
HE HAS YET TO GO DOWN THERE.
IT’S SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE FOR
EVERY AMERICAN.
AND THEY ARE STILL NOT GOING
DOWN TO WITNESS IT.
BUT, YET, THEY ARE COMMENTING ON
WHAT IS HAPPENING WHEN THEY ARE
NOT EVEN DOWN THERE TO SEE IT.
BILL MELUGIN, OUR REPORTER IS
DOWN THERE SAYING THEY LITERALLY
ARE WALKING ACROSS AND HE SHOWS
PICTURES AND VIDEOS.
>> Steve: AND THAT’S THE POINT,
AINSLEY.
BRIAN, I DON’T THINK THEY NEED A
JUMBOTRON ACROSS THE STREET
BECAUSE WHO KNOWS IF THE
PRESIDENT WOULD ACTUALLY LOOK
OUT AND SEE IT ALL HE HAS GOT TO
DO IS LOOK AT A TELEVISION SET
BECAUSE BILL MELUGIN HAS THOSE
IMAGES EVERY DAY.
AND YOU KNOW WHY THEY ARE
DENYING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM
ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER IT IS AN
EMERGENCY.
THEY CAN’T SAY IT’S AN EMERGENCY
BECAUSE THEY ARE SAYING THE
BORDER IS UNDER CONTROL.
BECAUSE IF THEY SAY THERE IS A
PROBLEM, THAT WOULD MEAN WHAT
THEY ARE DOING IS WRONG THEY
LIKE THE WAY THEY ARE DOING IT
UNFORTUNATELY FOR HALF THE
COUNTRY, ACCORDING TO THE PUGH
POLL, 48% IMMIGRATION IS A MAJOR
ISSUE.
AND THOSE IMAGES OF PEOPLE
WALKING ACROSS THE BORDER ARE
THE MAJOR DRIVER OF THAT.
>> Brian: LOSE THE HISPANIC
VOTE.
IF HE LOSES THE HISPANIC VOTE.
EVEN 50/50 IS A MAJOR LOCALS FOR
DEMOCRATS, HE WILL REALIZE HE
HAS TO CHANGE FOR HIS OWN
PRESERVATION.
>> Ainsley: THEY KNOW IF THEY
SAY IT’S SECURE AND THEY DON’T
GO DOWN THERE THEY CAN CONTINUE
THAT MESSAGE BECAUSE MOST OF THE
CHANNELS ARE NOT GOING TO SHOW
THE VIDEO.
>> Brian: SO IRRESPONSIBLE FOR
THEM NOT TO.
>> Steve: ALL ABOUT NATIONAL
SECURITY.
