y righi mean, you're exactly ri, tammy. that's really what's aearttwe hv the heart ofe this, is we haven democrats and republicans, frankly, in congress who are failing at their most basic and foremost responsibility, f which is to ensure the safety, security and freedom ofth sec the american people. >> and thaurinout startsn't have with securing our border. we don't have a countr ay if we don't have a secure border. now, you talked about thise sena one point seven trillion dollar funding bill that the senate just passed in the housetet will pass very likely soon. well, there's there's about one point five billion therebilo that's been set asidn e for customs and border protection, border security. the problem is the language also says they're note bo actually allowed to use any of that money to securethey cities. the border. they can't use it to expand so their security capabilities. so when you look at what they're actually doing, ultimately, they eithes you sary care, as you said, o tr they ars purely incompetent. either way , they're failing atd do t their jobs.he they need to step up to th jeob plate and do their job ober they need to be replaced. so it's fascinating., it's one thing to put it in without specifying what it should be used for, but they go out of their way to say, don't u use it forse security, don't touch that. se everyhe meantime, issue that we find atd at the border, tuls ti, relates to every major issue inwage the country, crime, the wagerobm inflproblem, the disease is health issues, inflation, the economy in general. thit's every housing issues, right. you've gotyou've people puttingl the migrants in hotels, ins.vets the homeless, in hotels, we'vein got veterans now still on the street, but wee think the american people don't realize what's happening at the border and reall linkey howt is linked to every single thingr that we're facing and whatmy, american families are dealinasg with . >> and tammy , as you look, as you're listing out all of these challenges that that arect facing jusy acrosst about every community across this country. look, i served in the municipalh government. i was on the honolulu city council.onol i served in the statety legislature and in congress. the ghfor eight years.e told so often we are told in our communities, sorry, from the federal government, there's just not enough money. right. as we see inoneythey thi'rs oner seven trillion bill , they're spending hundreds of millions of dollars to secure their country's borders.r coun y they're spending an incredible amount of money to feed into industrialo complex, but not willing to do,u what is necessary to securee rih our own border and support the needs of the american people. there's a lot right here at hoh there's a lot to be done at the border. there's a lot that shoulthings be done at the border.na things like let's deploy more of the national guard that you're seeing on the screen right there to actually supplement and provide this immediate need teour boe need te our border, fissx this broken vh fr asylum process, send a messaged very clear both froman our elected leaders and thosthoe who want to serve in office o to the world, saying from here on out, if anyone comes acrossi our border illegally, you will be immediately deported and you will not be allowed to reentertry, our country, perf to stop this this release of title forty two has been anppen incentive. so regardless of what happensriy with this point of of supre temporarily stoppingme from the supreme court, it's too late. this has been going on for months. and urge, wh enthis lead up. first and you remember when this first began, when biden first came in, they called i nt was it island? the new ellis >> do you remember that? i mean, that was an invitation over ever heard one . >> exactly. and they have the audacity over and over again to say, oh, no, you borders are are not open. we don't have open borders. are facing you look at the proof and you rt look at the crisis that we are facing at the border right now. as you mentioned, people literally thousands of people crossing our over our waiting for this court supreme court hod on title. forty two to be lifted icipation anticipation that they will be able to walk straight through without any repercy's be repercussions whatsoever, because that's exactly what's been happening. yeahing.ave to, and the money, e to say thank you so much fore joining us tonight. the little bit of money thatndia they're sending. s it's like we're turning intong a big travel agency because it's about facilitatingthe in their entry and then distributing them into the interior of the country. tulsi, great job. great to see you.w republican now, a new republican house majority does, in fact, taked b power inre january , and border. security really ought to be a top priority. obviously,n what here to explait republicans can actually get done in a new congress, florida congressman byron donal's and michael waltz. congressman, let me let me start with you. you heard my conversation with tulsi join . . we do know what's going on at the border. i'm still concerned that sever the majority of the americans maybe don't realizite the severity of what's happening at the border. they keep getting gas lits li by biden and karine jean-pierre ,who says the border is closed . no, it's not. and this is a dramatic having i a dramatic impact on every american's lives.s life so what can in january , whatrel will the republicans doic considering what's happened whwith now the the spending? bill ? s on tap here?what c, what can we expect, sir?f all, well, first of all, it's good to be with you. merry christmas to everybody. e youri share your concerns beci it's not just the administration. not it is the big media that has conditioned the american people not understand the complexities of what's happening at the border. . thayou couple that with the se deal , which was passed wi basically with a wink and a notd allowing this program to continue. houso coe republican are going to be hamstrung by this spending bill because whate po the leverage points to actually require the biden administrationino to actually br secure the border. a couple of things that can be done. number one , give border agents the ability to make credible threats of fear at the border. at number two, don't allow peopler. wi make asylum claims at the southern border. if you do those two things that will actually limit the capabilities of people me is to comeug cartel into the united states . but it's not a good situation y inou part media and yes, senate depublicans then passing this omnibus deal with the democrats have really put us behindmout bet ball about what to do with border security. >> well, you know, congressmantr watts, this is where youea dots have to get creative. all you know, we see the the democra tem cre all the time being verydi creative. you got to give theme ways some credit for that. there's got to be waysother to achieve certain things usinpd other parts ofs the budget, do using other kinds ofenin legislation. whatg you see happening starting in january ? well, i agree with everything we need totive donald said, but i think we need to take things even a step further. it aeed to designate these cartels that are behind all of it as a terrorist organization or a terrorist like organize a good idea. we need to put sanctions in these companies that we know are producing fentanyl as part of their asymmetric warfare to kilr asingll americans workig with international criminal organizations.rking with the mexica including the mexican cartels.t. so that's step two. and then youonally a personallya member of the armed servicese committee and as a veteranne, we need to be using military assets. i'm not talking boots an the ground, but cyber space assets and otherd things that e can be doing to jam the cartels ,disrupt their organization, su go after their moneyt and shut them down. we did it years ago to the cartels in colombia and we canno do it again if we have the willr and finally, tami, there is going to be a north american leader summiamericant on januarh and 10th with trudeau, biden and president obrador. that is an opportunity right t d there to put mexico on notice that they need to put o their national guard on their stophern border, stop shipping these migrants through to create our problem and that i 're going to put remain in mexico back in placedo. i doubt we'r we going to see tht from biden, but all three will be sitting down. t trudeau's talking about electronic or electric vehicles icand climatles anave toe. sis. we have to talk about humanitarian crisis. jajanuary 9th and 10th, northmil american leader summit called the three amigos summilethret. v >> but we'll see.e dona and this is where foldr i representative, i mean, i think that this is an opportunity where if you're waiting for men like that to do something, it's useless. ca'ss , that hopeless that congs that house republicansn can hae some kind of an action or a delegation or a demand or some legislation on the heels of that, we're you know, there's got to be somethingw th creative to push this along.atf we kno w that the house of representatives of the united states government has powermy and the republicans have to wield it. we'll tammy, i'ma tell you the next big vehicle, in c my view, that's going to comeome acrossbt might be the debt ceiling. that might be the next big one . whatevwhatever that leverage is, whatever that lever is in congress, we need to make sure e that we make border security and so for, yo the number one thing that'ssi on the agenda. and so for my colleagues th side of the aislee th who now all of a sudden want to start talking about n the border becauseow the midterm elections are now or are now over, i asked them where have you been? where were you in august,e september and october?is not the issue. r say,ation policy, pe is not the issue. it is about securing the border, and where my colleague is absolutely correct. the drug cartels are going to make 15 billion dollars this year, trafficking people and fentanyl into the united states of america. it is unconscionable.t stand wi and we must stanth wd whatever h lever is . we need to use it to make sure e we securs.e the homeland here ie the united states . >> you know, gentlemen, republthe american people gave e the republicans the house of representatives for a reason. they want to see something happen. this is a test.hard this r is not a hard test.w right. we just need to implement and the law as it stands and fund the ability for the border patrol and law enforcement in general to do their jobs, gentlemen. congressman, thank you veryw bie much for joining me tonight. now, biden'sn' extremes em immigration agenda is emboldening bad actors across the border. d cart human smugglers, as you've heard, traffickers and cartelsis are as active as everpo and taking advantage of the left wing open borderslicysy policy. so ask yourself, will democrats face any real political costsai? for their endless policy failures? a nt harris poll finds that 67% of voters think that biden's policies haveegal encouraged illegal immigration and seventy nine percent want to keep title 40 to border protections in place. and one prominent biden voting businessman in south texas says the president's immigration failures are so egregious thatg he's one step away from becoming a republican. t >> take a lookhe. my goodness. they are screaming at the topto of their lungs. they want the administration to pay attention thepresiden. we would love to see the president come down here to where the situation is actually happening live. i'm a democrat. i voted fom tor joe biden and im pleading with him to come down here and illustrate that hthe cares of the people of south texas there. everybody here, malfi, male, n n republican , democrat, every end of the spectrum here. i everybody agrees on one thing.dt weis is a crisis and we need attention from washington. >> we need action from our leaders. would you vote for him again? a , we'll see. e. but i got i got to tell you, th' the democrats are going to maken a republican out of me. >> well, that's pretty serious. of course, that's happening. to a lot of people these days.or here for reaction, pollsters mark penn and lee carter. so, mark, let me start with you, because that polleopl, is interesting in thatn the american people, even frankly,ankl through the midter, i think have been very steady. t and we kno lw that they don'tsoi like what's happening inlican. the country. they didn't necessarily hear s from the republicans . and so there was this mixedd result. do youresult. find that that's a the case in this particular poll about what the american mepeople they' want? anythi and now they're just kind of waiting to see if anybody does anything about. n our harr well, in our harris poll this month, i think the findings on immigration were franklvastad devastating for the administration when the administration started, people thought that the that biden's policies were humanitarian. ime, today, they think that they arer promoting crime fenthion, increased problems iny 6% the country. but interestingly, only six tru percent of the public really knew the true dimension ofon the problem, that it was twon to three million migrants crossing the border. many people thought it 50, was fifty thousand one hundred thousand. so as this information gets out, the polling is going to be even worse. frankly, congress should act. 79% in our poll say the titlee e 42 shoultad be retained. >> you know, what's interestingo is , is that's a great point from mark, is that even. it with six percent, you know, that's an awful number dt i've. it does mean what i've scale o presumed, which is that the majority of the american f itpeople don't even knowey'ren the scale of it. but even without knowing rig the scalht sis thae, they're ont side about what it is that needs to be done. and how it needs to be stopped, yeah, i thinedk there's no question about it. when you when you think about h the education problem that weg have in front of us . and let's be clear, republicanso have been talking abouw.trising immigration for years now. t 6 so it is somewhat surprising that only six percent of roblem americans understand the scaleo of the problem. i do alsthinooo thinkingk lookio biden's approval numbers on immigration, you see there's. only eight percent strongly approve of his immigration policy. that'se drop a huge drop since e he started. and that's a huge, significant gap from where he sits on hiss n regular approval ratings. so this is an area i think areac americans really want to see60% change.of a 60% of americans, though, domera believe that legal immigrationam makes america a better placeeri they don't understand how badt things are right now, but rad they do want to seether some radical change. they know it's not working.d abu and t,i think that neither partu as you just talked about, really made the case thatause t hithey have the answers right now.a >> you know, mark, it's interesting because this is about a communicationpoll nu. biden's poll numbers are down so people know he's something's gone wrong. as you noted, he campaignedrn on being the empathetic, you know, the return to normal things and happiness and whatever it was that they were campaigning on .apse and suddenly, though, americans are seeing kind of a collapse along the line of all about the issues. and yet this one is abou childrt children. traffick it's about women.ou it's about sex trafficking. it's about the economy. it affects housing., employment, all of these issues. and we're not even into nextagee year yet. t do youha think that the big message here also is that the republicans need to communicate more about the values, the problem that the volume of this mess? well, obviously,on the republicans failed ito really break throughissu on the issue in the midterms. i think the issue has really bubbled up now. i think the public is beginninro to get this broader story.ve but remember, most of the media. really wouldn't cover what's on the border. right.n to th didn'tresident and the vice want to credit the sto president refuseryd to go down i to the border because they didn't want to credit the story. advislook, when i advisedt pr the president we would meetk problems head on , i thinkd vice the president, the vice with president should go down, should recognize the problem and shouldyo deal with it. you know, if this president seriously wants to run for reelection, he can'ty leave this this border issuet is the way it is .. most mo people believe that the policy is nothing more than open borders a. , even and the public never supported open borders, even ithf they arl for a an immigration policy that has strict borders. buh sot treats people hereother. with some compassion and a path to to work permits and others. >> yeah, well, exactly. we aan, this is this has never weally been a debate. the know we are a country of immigrants and we embrace that dynamic and the immigrants who come here legally. this is an affrontlegall to thos individuals as well. and we've seen the numbers off hispanic supporting republicans has skyrocketed on these kindsat of issues. would yoamu say with the recenti polling, of course, is that --t americans are getting a bit and i think we saw it duringerm the midterms, they're getting a betterg sense that that there's not compassionco happening, that this administration, in fact, is intolerant, lackss , a levelf compassion, not only foreo immigrants, but for ple, wthe american people.e isss and what we're going through, e. as well on the economy, on crime issues, et cetera,is there's no doubt about it.h i think parton of the problem the republicans have had, thoughcr, is that they focus so much on the criminals comingwhen over and not as much about p the huge problem. when people look at the bigger picture, when they hear how long it's taking for people to get asylutom to be heard,ockg sometimes up to six years, it's shocking to people, only 40 thrcent of americans understand what's really going on .eyss tha i think they think it takessix o less than six months fornths fol . so the whole process is broken from beginning to end. so rather than demonizing some of the immigrants that are coming over, i think looking he at the whole problem is what americans want to hear aboutr, humanita because overall, it's a humanitarian crisis. it's a border crisis. border crisis.it's a security i. there's a drug issue. reali 60ze% of americans realize thato there's a huge drug trafficking. issue as a result of immigration. right. bu e can't just bt we can't just bt the the worst parts of it. we have to look at the whole thing. in and it's also would make a biges difference for those issues. ded thank you both for joining . all thosats, re issuesepub arei non partisan democrats, republicans, independents. we all carwee about them. thank you very much for joining me, mark and lee. coming up, w. e will bring youeeping the latest on the monster storm sweeping the u.s. and the major travel headaches major cog up. >> stay right there. you deserve that feeling here. relief you put in the work, whether you're training for a marathon or just living one . the power boost move fromer ren sharper image.t ies. it's time to power your potential. the power to move from sharpervo image after rent and power. i can get groceries. it's sad to say food comes last and from texas, no one should have to worry where their next life ins together we can end hunger. learn more augh the t feeding a dawg. >> i'm jonathan lawson.oking to life to tell you about le insurance through the colonial pen program. if you're age 50 to 85 and looking to buy life insurance a on a fixed fixed budget, remembr the three p's?
