fire at that time and he passed up the opportunity to take that shot because he feared that that shot might go awry and hit one of the children he said he could see behind the gunman. so in that split second moment where he made that decision and hesitated, the gunman went inside the school. remember, 19 children and two teachers were killed in that mas massacre, texas house committee investigating the shooting continues to talk to first responders to sort out exactly what happened amid criticism of the police response there. the department of homeland security is investigating a possible heat related death of a woman and a man found on the side of a texas highway on sunday. the heat, as you know, is not the only danger migrants face, there are assaults, robberies, drownings in canals, falls from border fences as well.

it is recreating our country like no one has ever seen before. not only are we not enforcing our border security seeing in places like mccallen in del rio where we are having millions of people coming over. they are expecting 350,000 to 400,000 coming over in october alone. what you are seeing is them also offering them incentives. free community college, free school. access to healthcare. all for opening up our borders and that is in the bill. and, unfortunately, you know, when you have got a bill over 1,000 pages, you tell me how many americans or how many congress members for that matter have actually read it, studied and t. and know what they re voting on. pete: of course not the lobbyists and staffers that have been there forever. before you were in congress you were a mayor in irving, texas. you understand border issues. we know the biden administration is not doing anything about it but now the texas military is vowing to build temporary border fences in del rio and other places
carlos gray. thank you for being with us. his new book sand and blood: america s stealth war on the mexico border. that word war stood out to me. what does that mean, war, and did it start with president trump? no, it didn t start with president trump. i traced it all the way ba back to the reagan administration and every subsequent executive branch has sort of added armament at the u.s./mexico border. we have border fences. we have blackhawk helicopters. we fly drones over the border. we have 25,000 border agents armed to the teeth. we have casualties. people die on a regular basis in our detention centers or trying to cross our borders in the mountains and deserts. if we have casualties and all the pieces of war, it certainly feels like an undeclared war if you visit that area. is it the rhetoric now that seems different than past years? yeah, i think the trump administration is not shy.
nationalize energy? we are finally energy independent or they want to destroy. nationalize health care. single-payer. 70 to 90% marginal tax rate. a vat tax, free college, a guaranteed minimum income from birth, guaranteed federal jobs, three months of taxpayer finance family leave, expand social security while the trustee say it s bankrupt in 2034. that s the genius bernie sanders by the way. eliminate existing border fences. that s beto o rourke right there. eliminate i.c.e. reinstate the iran nuclear deal. while we are it, impeach the president, indict the president, indict the president s children and let s go ahead and impeach associate supreme court justice kavanaugh. that is quite a policy planned that that democrats have owned where only three or four weeks into this. sean: mark, you forget one thing. i never like to correct you because you re always right.
