>> it's just like your home if you do not know who is coming don't have any security. if we don't know who is come in this country you have no homeland security. the most frustrating part for my clear, the vast majority of my career we were making significant progress. making smart investments. getting better and better control of the border. our confidence level in being able to say we know knew and what crossed it was not 100 percent. it was getting significantly better than ever before. and it allowed us to make calculated risk decisions on behalf of americans. we knew hot organizations were bringing them. and we had a higher confidence level of what type of a risk would they be if they crossed in this area or they are trying to evade arrest criminal aliens, investing in technology symptoms that use artificial intelligence that help us with that as well. all of that has been shut down and all effort has been refocused on expediting the processing speed massive amount of illegal aim yens coming into the country today. that should matter. because if i can't tell you who crosses through in nogales or mcallen or san diego, they are going to end up in your community. >> bret: so, in that case, it is fairly open. >> the border is wide open right now. >> bret: wide open? >> the border is wide open right now. border patrol is well beyond what i would call task saturation. they are so overwhelmed there are huge sections of u.s. border, you pick the state, we know we have thousand of people waiting to come across where we know we have like high level cartel violence going on on a daily basis between the governor of mexico and the cartels. and they are bringing narcotics in. there are hundreds of miles of border there is not a single border patrol agent right now. why? because they are in a soft sided facility that we set up at another 5 to $6 million a month to baby-sit, to process, and to expedite the processing of these people. i have fought for it my whole career. you can be pro-border security, pro-law and order and pro-immigration, it just has to be legal. you can't have unabated illegal entry into this country and have any real belief that you have border security. you have no border security, you have no homeland security, no national security. remain in mexico program, what that did is it ensured due process so that anybody could get a chance to basically claim asylum. but it took away the prize before the judge made a decision. so it really weeded out the fraud. what people miss in that is by weeding out those thousands and thousands of fraud cases, people that actually literally legitimately need asylum can get it quicker and easier. because it's the same number of people processing all these cases. >> bret: so, again, why change that? wasn't that something that was working? >> i can't get into the why and speculate but i can tell you that it was working. dramatically changed the border dynamics for us and eliminated the asylum fraud. as soon as people knew they weren't going to get released into the u.s. and have 6 to 7 years to hide before their court date, they stopped applying. because the case wasn't valid to begin with. >> bret: you feel it's important to speak out now. >> i think it's very important to speak out now. there is a lot of people within dhs that want to tell the story within border patrol, within ice, within ero. but they are within the confines of the structure. and i don't think it's a surprise to anybody that on january 0th, basically a gag order came down where none of those officials are allowed to say anything to anybody. unless it's all preapproved. so, that's why i push for the congressional hearings. that's why i didn't come out day one saying anything. because i think that's the proper way to do it. if they're called before congress, they just tell the truth. under oath. as opposed to right now they just can't. whatever you think about border security, you need factual information, which means the whole story. how many really are being released into the u.s.? how many really are being tested for covid? out of that? how many are really positive? there is information that dhs has that they are making the decision to not share with the public that historically we would have shared. >> bret: were you surprised at some of the decisions when you heard them as you are still border chief as they were coming down? were you surprised that these are the things that they were choosing to do or not do? >> i wouldn't say surprised. i will tell you i kind of had a false hope because i have heard that before. have you seen transitions of the administration before and you say one thing and then when they get all the facts and really look at things you will hesitate and you will reconsider. there is no dialogue no -- the government officials just aren't being listened to, proven systems, proven programs are being ignored. and i have avoid the why. i will just tell us that's what's happening. >> bret: carte blanche, if you had the magic wand, and you could do what you wanted on the border, to solve the problem, or try, to how would you do it? >> i would reimplement the strategy that the united states border patrol had been working on and perfecting for 25, almost 30 years. and that is just a smart mix in customs and border protection at the ports of entry. we do that in lock step by the way. you will hear people saying that's only at the port. that's not true goes back and forth. we have to work together in lock step. with you we have been systematically improving border security for years through a smart deployment of personnel, technology and infrastructure. what would i do? is that. simply continue to build out the border wall but those requirements were developed by seasoned border patrol agents based on where that infrastructure could make the biggest difference and the return on investment long-term. i would continue to invest in the people but there has got to be coons sequence for illegal entry. you cannot let people just come up wave a flag and release them into the u.s. to get their case heard five, six years later. they have already got the prize. they are already here. there is no reason for that. >> bret: so you are saying that that, while it was a trump administration policy, is not -- people shunt be antipolitical anti-trump. it's policy that the border patrol came up with over years? >> dhs personnel. so, this is how it worked up to january 0th. i didn't create this but i was proud to be part of it. people got brought in a room from ice. cis. department of justice, from u.s. border patrol and they were told hey, how -- what can we do with what we have. we are still going to work with congress and get some of these laws fixed but, in the meantime, what can we work with? what can we do to secure the border so we can goat out and tell america we know who and what is crossing that border to the best ability we possibly can? >> bret: what's your biggest fear when you look at the border. >> beyond the border now what i'm seeing at the national level is hiding of information from the american public so they can't even make a good decision. they can't make an educated decision because they don't have the information. that worries me. just society in general how it's harder and harder to even people listening to me right now. you don't have to believe anything i say. anybody that thinks that an uneducated smuggler bringing cocaine and marijuana across the border that successfully gets passed border patrol agents is the only threat is kind of naive. there is a lot of other threats and again we have to sit in a different venue for that. but i spent five years after 9/11 working on antiterrorism issues. specifically for border patrol and cbp and bringing us in to that arena to see what the other threats are that are out there. and they are real. we are getting better every day to shut all of that off and to put people's lives at risk in kansas or chicago or everywhere else. >> bret: because people on the border they feel it whether they're democrats or republicans. they are passionate about this issue. >> correct. >> bret: but you are saying it should affect every state. >> yeah. people watching this right now i think some of them and say that's a border problem. they are not staying there. and those 400,000 people that avoided arrest, they clearly didn't stay at the border. they might be living down the street from you. who are they? what's the threat? i just can't tell you that because we didn't interact with them. but i can tell you we -- the border patrol arrested over 10,000 criminal aliens last year out of the people that they came in contact with. the other thing that gets missed sometimes, that means they have been in the u.s. before and committed a crime. there is no global data base that says what crimes these people committed in syria or nicaragua or honduras. at all. those 10,000 are only people that have been here before and committed a crime. so what else -- just statistically if you build that out, there is some real threats to this country that are getting by us right now that literally all it takes is to reimplement some of the programs we had in place, that got rid of the fraud, that slowed down the flow, you are always going to have some people trying to sneak in illegally. that's why we have a border patrol. they can make decisions of where they deploy much more smarter when you are dealing with manageable numbers that be the chaos that we have today, which from the intel i have seen and heard about is nothing like what's going to come tomorrow. it's going to get so much worse if we don't fix this. >> bret: thanks for the time and thanks for speaking out. mike, we will send it back to you. >> mike: fascinating interview. thanks, bret. up next could president biden's sinking popularity take down other democrats?

>> the attorney general's memo deals with threats against public servants. >> mike: so the biden administration taking heat for a department of justice memo out in the past week. basically going after parents who are protesting in front of their school boards. let's bring in our panel. former white house press secretary ari fleischer, bill mcgurn columnist for the "wall street journal" and juan williams, a fox news analyst. ari, start us off on this topic. your thoughts. >> if you want to talk about public intimidation and threats to public officials, why is the cultural left and much of the media okay with chasing a united states senator into a bathroom and filming her? why are they okay with denying sarah sanders a previous white house secretary a seat at the restaurant? why are they okay with a mob chasing ted cruz and his wife out of a restaurant but you cannot go too school board and vociferously make your case? that's where they are calling in the fbi? we are sending every wrong signal when the fbi comes out and the justice department comes out and says it's going to assign the fbi to school board meetings. this is all wrong. if you want to deal with public intimidation protecten kyrsten sinema. >> here is what the national school board association is saying about the matter, quote: the individuals who are intent on causing chaos and disrupting our schools, many of whom are not even connected to local schools, are drowning out the voices of parents who must be heard when it comes to decisions about their children's education, health and safety. these acts of intimidation are also affecting educational services and school board governance. some have even led to school lockdowns. bill, your thoughts. >> yeah, my thoughts may all well be true but it's not a federal offense. and though the attorney general didn't mention terrorism, his memo came in response to a national school board's association letter suggesting that people that are demonstrating like this are domestic terrorists and might be prosecuted under the patriot act. this is just insane. and a lot of this stuff, look, school boards are at the forefront of some of the most contentious issues in america today. critical race theory, covid policy with masking and so forth. affirmative action, you know, to some of our elite public schools. there is a lot of issues and the left seems intent on labeling anyone who disagrees with them an insurrectionist or a terrorist or a white supremacist. and i think people are tired of it. >> mike: meanwhile, the white house is taking some heat. let's play the clip. >> the parent elect a school board and now they can't even speak? without being investigated? it's insane. i can't think of an instance in american history with when anything like this has happened before. it's another first for joe biden and it's a bad one. >> he doesn't stand for the fundamental right, i assume you don't either, for people to take violent action against members of public servants and that's what the threats are about. >> parents are now becoming more aware of what's being said in their classroom and they are becoming upset by it and what's the answer from the biden administration? -to-to silence you, to nationalize elementary schooling. the this is wrong. >> mike: juan, your thoughts? >> well, i think, look, i don't care where you are on the political spectrum. i think everyone agrees it's a core american value to say that public servants should not be subject to intimidation and violence. the national school board association detailed an instance of assault of an illinois school board member. they had letters detailing specific threats against school board members and even in some cases threats against teachers a lot of this is unfortunate but you canterbury from the idea that public servants and people performing a public service should be protected no. one is saying that you can't speak out at a school board meeting. this is about threats and violence and intimidation and that's the response. now, what you are seeing here of course bill pointed this out. a lot of this is a response to arguments, political arguments over critical race theory. over the use of masks in cool to protect children against covid. these are issues that are being used as trigger points, i think, on the right to stir up voters. the idea that anybody left or right would not be behind law and order is a surprise to me. i think republicans are always for law and order. >> mike: all right. so president bidenens sinking poll numbers. having an impact, potentially on bellwether race in virginia. let's play a clip. >> we are facing a lot of head winds from washington as you know the president is unpopular today unfortunately here in virginia. >> because his campaign is failing, terry calls in his friend joe biden to actually put the doj on virginia parents? terry mcauliffe can't even begin to admit the fact that he is unpopular, too. if bill and hillary clinton had a son, it would be terry mcauliffe and joe biden would be his uncle. >> mike: ari, can establishment guy run away from president biden when his poll numbers may be down. >> no. that's what off year elections test if you remember in 2009, the first year president obama lost races in new jersey. they will always have a new jersey now but they really might lose virginia. it's a bad year for terry mcauliffe to run. in i do want to point out one other thing this has been a bad week for joe biden taking friendly fire. john kerry say that he had no idea literally no idea about how he offended the french. and now you have terry mcauliffe in virginia saying he is unpopular. the fire is coming from his own people to joe biden this week. >> mike: bill, people outside of virginia are also watching this race to see if it's a preview of next year's midterms. >> yes. look. it looked very different six months ago when joe biden was ws riding high. latest quinnipiac poll shows imvery much under water on every issue and most people think he is not up to the job of president. if you are in congress and being asked to take a tough vote, it's a lot harder to do it on behalf of a weak joe biden than a strong joe biden. >> mike: juan, your thoughts? >> well, very quickly, i think just think back, it was a few weeks before the california recall that people were saying this is a tight race. you know, could see newsom defeated. i think right now you still have to say that virginia leans more towards being a blue state and i would expect that terry mcauliffe will survive. >> mike: all right, gentlemen. well done. when we come back, tomorrow's headlines. ♪ ♪ regina approaches the all-electric cadillac lyriq. it's a sunny day. nah, a stormy day. classical music plays. um uh, brass band, new orleans. ♪ ♪ she drives hands free... along the coast. make it palm springs. ♪ cadillac is going electric. if you want to be bold, you have to go off-script. experience the all-electric cadillac lyriq. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need?
