up the slack that the federal government is not doing. harris: you have done pretty much everything you could do in your state and the fentanyl, i know you have that lab in one of your cities and doing everything you can and the government does what? well, the federal government stands in the way. let me say about john. he is a good man. the border patrol are trying to do their job. it is mayokas and the leadership at the department of homeland security and the president who stand in their way. the governor and department of public safety in texas are trying to go down and do the job that these patriots in border patrol are being prohibited from doing. we ll keep doing it in texas. in congress the texas delegation, my friends here, the freedom caucus, i hope the entire republican conference will stand behind governor abbott and stand behind texas and stand up for the american people and against cartels, stand against this abuse of
