the number of illegal immigrants coming in. they are from 150 different countries. listen to this. the current secretary mayorkas he was part of dhs before. he was ran cis. he clearly understands and knows how to control the border and what needs to take place. the result of that as the message goes out and instead of having a couple of hundred encounters a day. we quickly went up to about 6,000 encounters a day. border patrol caught over caught people from 150 different countries coming through mexico into the united states this last year before i retired. 150 different countries. different countries. bret: coming through the border? correct. how big a national security threat is it that border. that big issue. football paivelgly pray over here and the real play is going to the left. so when we get distracted with 15 to 20,000 haitians under a bridge. that resulted in several hundred miles of border having no border
have this side business going on that is another vertical in their growth industry and this is what something that, you know, unfortunately the politicians and school board members are contributing. to say. brian: we you have back on that. here is part of garland s memo that i find disturbing and i know you do, too. spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our constitution the protection does not extend the threats or violence for efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views. obviously. but it s how you characterize what a threat is. if i m emotional and i say i m upset that you curriculum my son or daughter is bringing home and someone says i feel threatened by that are they going to follow you home and lock you up? are you going to have to go get an attorney and mrs. middle class going to find themselves economically strapped because they cared about their curriculum. that s my worry. is it yours? final thought? oh, absolutely. we should not have to worry
lines in our politics that should not be crossed. if they re crossed, especially on the criminal side, i have no problem with law enforcement getting involved, particularly at the local level. i don t understand why the federal government and the the department of justice and the fbi needs to be involved in this potential problem at all. i feel like if there are people issuing threats or engage in violence that is something for law enforcement to deal with. of course, it s totally unacceptable and serious. but i worry about with the feds getting involved and the attorney general from this administration sort of wading into this is that this is an attempt to delegitimize the legitimate complaints that many parents have with school boards, with teachers unions and others and to say well, because there might be some threat and some violence elsewhere, now this is a federal law enforcement matter so you better, you know, contain yourself, restrain yourself. maybe think twice about showing

media giant s dirty little secret and handing lawmakers this stark national security warning. we also saw active it the of the iran government doing espionage on other state actors. so you are saying, in essence, that the platform whether facebook knows it or not, is being utilized by some of our adversaries? yeah. facebook is very aware this is happening. former project manager also claims facebook puts profits over people, deceives investors and governments about how misinformation is being spread on it and that it s instagram app. undoubtedly harms children. facebook knows that they are leading young users into anorexia content. today facebook denied the allegations and instead pointed the finger back at congress to take action, writing: it s been 25 years since the rules for the internet have been updated. and instead of expecting the industry to make societal
