good morning at home. policy allowing for quick migrant expulsion expires tonight. border patrol dealing with a number of daily apprehensions. biden administration warning the crisis could be getting worse admitting that tough times are straight ahead. we are are clear eyed about the challenges we re likely to face in the days and weeks ahead which have the potential to be very difficult. bill: with us now texas governor greg abbott and border czar mike banks. good morning to you and mr. banks, thank you for your time. i know you have been out and about. what have you seen out there and what do you think the american people need to understand from your experience, sir? so there are two things that people need to understand. one i think it was brandon judd that you were having giving you some comments earlier. so brandon judd was spot on in this regard. that is we need the policies that were put in place by the trump administration. remember this, three years ago we had
Chris Cuomo asks the tough questions to newsmakers in Washington and around the world. Rosenstein look, Jeff Sessions he recused himself. Had to have recused himself because theres a regulation in place that says if you work on a campaign and theres a criminal investigation relating to that campaign the president says it was a bum move and he should have told him about it and it was a total hoodwink. Wrong, wrong, wrong. As far as it being a hoodwink, sessions would have had to have had the gift of prophecy along with the president in order to believe at the time he was ainterest poed, there was was going to be to an investigation thats why i was confused by your initial writings on this one because of my respect for your mind and that rosenstein the only thing he could do is get a prophylactic in play, get somebody who had one layer away from the president , which technically a Special Counsel does, because otherwise he could have been fired like that if he were running it. The questi
The fact is that we dont need a direction from the president to the intelligence chiefs to be on guard against russian interference with our elections, number one. Number two, as far as what the president says on any given day, frankly he says a lot of things. He is, i think, campaigning against impeachment rather than saying anything that is designed to affect the outcome of the case. So i kind of brush that off. But to go back to your first point, that we dont need the president for the intelligence community. Thats a little counterintuitive. We expect the leadership from the president to be of paramount importance when were dealing with threats like this, which to the democracy is basically existential. So for him to not be on the same page seems to be highly counterproductive. Its counterproductive, but it is not at all necessarily critical. These intelligence agencies, particularly in an administration where statements
get made all the time, i think are pretty much doing their job
that s never happened. and so i have 0 trust the president or the people working under him will actually enforce the laws that already exist in the united states and expel migrants and secure the border. dana: gentlemen, thank you for your time as we kick down to the end of title 42. your work has already been busy and about to get more so. thank you. bill: thank you. to mr. banks, your first appearance well done. some images are stunning. you have to stop and look at this sometimes. this is from our border crew in brownsville, texas, with these drone shots. dana, that s that goes for as far as we can see. that drone is probably 1,000 feet in the air. dana: there is a lot to cover here and the biden administration, they don t want the talk about this. they would like to talk about anything else. they won t have a choice. even other media is having to report on this now. bill: you see that razor wire is what they put in place
