Transcripts For FOXNEWSW America 20240704

John a live look at the Southern Border where both President Biden and former President Trump will appear this hour. President Will Tour Brownsville Texas where illegal crossings have slowed to just 46 in the past week. Months ago the number was in the thousands. Jacqui Alejandra Mayorkas was asked about that moments ago and gave the Mexican Government credit. Brownsville, texas, provides a very good glimpse of how dynamic and challenging the Migration Phenomenon is. Last year in april and may of 2023 approximately 30 of all encounters across the Southern Border were realized in the Rio Grande Valley sector of Which Brownsville is a part. Now those numbers have been reduced significantly, primarily because of the enhanced Law Enforcement efforts south of our border. John a lot to talk about in the next 60 minutes. John roberts in washington. Great to spend thursday with you. Jacqui Jacqui Heinrich in for sandra smith. This is america reports. Brownsville has just seen 46 migrant encounters over the last five days. Texas has a lot to do with that, installing anticlimb fences, Concertina Wire and National Guard troops. Former President Trump is heading to eagle pass where agents have apprehended more than 2000 migrants in that same time period. John he has just touched down in del rio, texas and apparently when he gets off the aircraft talking to the press who has been travelling with him. Brian kilmeade on the duelling visits and the crisis in america, but first Griff Jenkins is in brownsville awaiting bidens arrival. Who is the president going to meet with and whats he going to see, griff, besides you . Well, john, hes gonna meet with front line border officials like Chief Jason Owens and others who are going to give him an operational briefing and Secretary Mayorkas is right, numbers are down, particularly in brownsville, just 46 encounters in the past five days but hes gonna get a briefing about what crossed this morning right here in brownsville. Take a look at this exclusive video we shot with our fox cameras, more than 100 migrants crossed right here in brownsville. Im told from sources this morning that they used box cutters to cut through the Concertina Wire that was put here by The State Of Texas, which has been a big part of why those numbers are down. But whats really significant is that President Biden chose not to go where the migrant crisis is surging, and thats out west. Let me show you just to compare, fox news moments ago getting brandnew numbers breaking down the sectors yesterday. The leading one was tucson, you have more than 1500 migrant encounters there. In san diego, the second busiest, more than 1100. Compare that to here in the rgv, brownsville is a part of, just 325 and part of what the president also is going to get briefed on is the dangers of the people coming across, not just from Central American and south america, but those from places like china, from syria, from afghanistan, kazakhstan, mostly out west. We were able to speak exclusively to chief owens about the threat of what those migrants might be bringing and any connections they might have to terrorism. Listen here. Border security is a huge piece of our National Security and Border Patrol is the primary agency in that endeavor and when i tell you there are areas of the border that we dont have awareness as to whats happening, this is the type of threat that im concerned about. There are those that want to come into this country and do it harm. Those are the individuals that keep me up at night. Just a flashback, show you this Drone Footage we shot back in may of last year. Nine months ago. Brownsville was ground 0 for the migrant crisis. In poll after poll, immigration is the top issue. So when the president and the white house says this visit isnt about a political photo op, there is certainly politics in it when thats the top issue and we expect the president at some point, john, to blame republicans for not supporting that senate bill and doing enough to bring much needed resources which officials agree they need more resources and man power and also need changes in policy to get this crisis under control. John. John a federal judge has denied texas the ability to arrest people coming in illegally without the permission of the federal government. Thank you, jacqui. Jacqui high tensions in athens, georgia, where locals are blaming the democratic mayors policies for the brutal murder of Nursing Student laken riley. Protestors heckled the mayor for refusing to Call Athens A sanctuary city. What are people saying about the aftermath of this Press Conference here . Jacqui, people we have been speaking to in athens want answers, not only about the death of laken riley but how the city will move forward with the Immigration Policies and as you mentioned, yesterdays Press Conference with the mayor got heated. He tried to talk about Public Safety but he was repeatedly interrupted by those protestors. Youre fired. You need to go, sir. We dont want to hear from you no more. You are not defending us. You are not upholding your oath of office, sir. You are lawless. Jacqui well have to get back to you, former President Trump has landed in eagle pass. We have duelling visits from former President Trump and biden. Trump making it there first and getting a warm reception, john. John hes going to say hi to some folks who have gathered there, wearing the maga hat, saying hi to some of the troops there as well, i assume he is going to turn around in the next couple minutes and talk to the camera. We all remember during the Trump Administration that he took a number of Executive Orders to control migration across the border, and now biden saying he has done all he can executive wise to do it and is he going to come over or not . Its beginning to look like no. All right. We thought he was going to talk to the cameras, looks like hes not, pool camera is running off to get in one of the vans. Brian kilmeade is with us now, cohost of fox friends and host of one nation. So, donald trump is going to eagle pass, joe biden is going to brownsville. Put up some comparative statistics of cross border traffic. You can see that eagle pass has gotten a lot more people coming across the border there. Brownsville even on february 26th, no illegal crossings, which i assume will give joe biden the chance to, after going to el paso and saying hey, nothing to see here, going to brownsville and saying hey, nothing to see here, everything is working. What do you think . I think the president of the United States, former president of the United States has a totally different philosophy about governing, he likes to go into the problem, even if it means turmoil, and talking about guns, he used to bring the cameras in and bring out experts and used to be covering the white house every day and people would talk and he would want to see how everyone reacted. He wants to go into a situation that is out of control. He wants to go to a situation that needs to be fixed and addressed. President biden wants the opposite. Remember, he went to el paso after they cleaned up the entire city and watched a German Shepherd pretend to find drugs in a police car, he said wow, congratulations i went to the border. Hes going to go to brownsville and say my policies are working here. Guys, this is what its about. Its about the bipartisan bill that was put forward, and thats what the president will talk about. I have a plan, worked hard fix this, to put the plan dont, i dont like everything in it and donald trump walked away from it. But donald trump will go to the border and say this is what im going to did. John you talked to jay johnson, obamas Homeland Security secretary what he said about the crisis on the border. Have you ever seen it this bad . No, its a crisis on multiple levels in multiple places. There are solutions to this problem. We need more Border Patrol officers, we need more judges, we need an Emergency Authority like a title 42 when the numbers get high. We need to fix how one qualifies for asylum in this country, raise the bar on the front end. John a lot of what he was talking about was stuff included in the original senate bill. But more so than that, i think its interesting that he is calling this a crisis and saying something has to be done because hes an obama loyalist, and he is sending a very clear message to the Biden Administration that they got a big problem on their hands. Right, and the president wants to go on the offensive and says its not really my fault anymore. I dont think anyone is buying it. What gives me hope for fixing it. I dont care about the politics. When donald trump came on the scene and said hey, i want to build a big wall and put a door in there, but a lot of these countries are not sending us their best. People were outraged, he doesnt like hispanics, he thinks everyone is below an american. Excuse me. Mow if you say they are not sending our best, no kidding. Ive seen chicago, new york, philadelphia, brutal murder in georgia. Sanctuary city speaker in new york city is the anomaly and the mayor says its time to cooperate with i. C. E. Is now the norm. And i think that gives me hope. John on that point about laken riley, i want to play again what Karine Jeanpierre said yesterday at the briefing when she was asked if the president has reached out to the family of this poor girl. Listen here. I do want to extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of laken hope riley, given this is an active case im going to be really careful about speaking to that case more specifically, would have to refer any anything specific to that case to Law Enforcement and obviously i. C. E. And the president , i dont have anything regarding to the president speaking to the family. John translation, given this is a result of policies that we have been wrongly criticized for im going to duck this question and not say anything about it. You know why, this does not go to the heading to pretend who can blame republicans on this bipartisan bill. This is the lawlessness that allows the catch and release, stops remain in mexico, no longer pressuring South American countries to enforce the border and keep their people home, mexico does not enforce their border, people come streaming in. All they have to say is i feel threatened in my country, and now there was no threat, its an opportunity to come here. Once in a Generation Opportunity because this president has opened up the border, im not even sure if he realizes how bad it is or if he was briefed effectively, but it is so bad that its now the number one issue for republicans as usual, independents, and democrats in the country. And president , you own this. Dont tell me its Climate Change and bad governments. We have always had hurricanes, typhoons and bad governments, communisms and dictatorships, thats called central and south america, sadly. He decided to reapproach with venezuela, not us, and not the previous administration. John dont say that you cant talk about it because its an active investigation when you talk about so many things under active investigation. Hey, apparently former President Trump did speak when he got off trump force 1 in del rio. Roll the tape right now. Nice weather, beautiful day, but a very dangerous border. We are going to take care of it, thank you. Do you have any Legislation Ideas . John well, that was very quick. But i assume what hes talking about there is if he were to be elected president again, all of those Executive Orders that joe biden rescinded on his first day in office he will probably put them back in action again. John, if you want to solve the problem you know what you do if you are President Biden, hey, i want to meet with the governor of texas. I understand you have a great way to enforce the border, you did it yourself. Let me see whats going on in shelby park, see what the problem is and maybe bring his checkbook and reimburse texas for the billions they had to spend because he would not enforce the border, so now National Guard, men and women out of their other jobs and do the job the Border Patrol is not allowed to do. Texas has taken things into their own hand. If there was a republican governor still in arizona and california, i think they would do the same thing in new mexico. We are seeing what happens if you want to do it. The Texas Governor is doing it. The president doesnt want that confrontation. This president is asking for it. And brandon judd, the Union President is not with 44, hes with not with 46, hes with 45 at the border. I think that shows you who he has more confidence in. John its a shame what they had to do with the rio grande riverbank, looks like the berlin wall but felt they had no choice and the bottom line, its working. Good to see you. See you this weekend and tomorrow morning, too, on fox friends. Jacqui Pentagon Briefing is set to take place minutes from now after President Biden walks back his prediction that a Ceasefire Deal in gaza could be reached by the end of this week. John democrats say there is nothing more to probe after hunter biden testified under oath that his father was not involved in his business deals. But Miranda Devine has some other thoughts about it. Shes next. It was phone calls, it was lunches, it was dinners, it was rounds of golf from the same white house who said he had no involvement whatsoever with his business and any of his Business Associates but engaged in all those activities. Is she . Playing with the confidence of a pro and getting all up in that grass as if she doesnt have allergies . Yeah. Nice. Hey. You seein this . Wait. Wheres the dish . There aint one. Youre tellin me you can get directv The Good Stuff and you dont need a Satellite Dish . Oh, i used to love doin my business on those things youre one sick pigeon. Them dishes kept the rain off our beaks we just have different priorities is all. Satellitefree directv. Never thought id see the day. Well, our lifespans are quite short. Stream directv without a Satellite Dish. Im going to do this thing with my neck, just for a bit. Its time to feed the dogs real food, not highly processed pellets. The farmers dog is fresh food made with whole meat and veggies. Its not dry food. Its not wet food. Its just real food. Its an idea whose time has come. Her uncles unhappy. Im sensing an underlying issue. Its tmobile. It started when we got him under a new plan. But then they unexpectedly unraveled their price lock guarantee. Which has made him, a bit. Unruly. You called yourself the uncarrier. You sing about price lock on those commercials. The price lock, the price lock. So, if you could change the price, change the name its not a lock, i know a lock. So how can we undo the damage . We could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. Their connection is unreal. And we could all unexperience this whole session. Okay, thats uncalled for. We know, many of us from even in our district that the majority of the American People are with us in demanding an immediate ceasefire. This isnt a fringe position, yall. Its the will of the people. John michigan congresswoman Rashida Tlaib putting more pressure on the white house and President Biden over his israel strategy. This as we are learning more about a tragedy at a humanitarian aid site in gaza. More than 100 palestinians were reportedly killed and dozens more injured as they ran to gather around aid trucks trying to get a meal this morning. Witnesses say israeli troops opened fire on the large crowd. But israel is telling a different story. Mike tobin is live in tel aviv, israel. We have hamas saying one thing, mike, and israel saying quite another. Certainly are, and the u. S. State department now says investigators are trying to get to the bottom of this Civilian Mass Casualty Incident that was sparked by an aid convoy. The idf has released some video, thermal video, it looks a little odd, says the aid convoy entered the southern end of the gaza strip, 30 trucks traveled to the north with a military escort. At some point the trucks separated from the escort, but before they reached their intended Distribution Point the trucks came under fire. Convoy stopped and the trucks were mobbed. And at some point, and we can you can surely see this in some of the videos the idf have distributed, at some point the trucks were overwhelmed and the people driving the trucks, which are gazan civilian drivers, plowed into the crowds of people, ultimately killing, my understanding, is tens of people. Now at another spot the crowd rushed a line of israeli soldiers. Idf says the soldiers were threatened and they opened fire. Now, rear admiral daniel hagari, spokesman for the idf, he made very clear that he says the idf never fired on the aid convoy. Hamasrun Palestinian Health Ministry Says over 100 civilians were killed. Israel says the casualties were caused by the stampede and the trucks that ran people over. Idf says ten people were killed by soldiers. President biden acknowledged that this incident jeopardizes the ceasefire talks underway in doha, qatar, and israeli media reports the delegation has left. John. John the idf is saying the people who were fired upon were approaching the israelis who were at a checkpoint and in a tank, in a manner that the idf thought was threatening. Is that what you are hearing there . Exactly, almost word for word the way the idf put it. They felt they were threatened and they opened fire. Really the difference is where were where was the concentration of the casualties. Were the concentration of the casualties the people who were part of the mob or is the concentration of the casualties the people who had approached that idf point that you just mentioned where the idf acknowledges that the soldiers did indeed open fire. John if you look at the way this is being reported in Western Media, they have israeli troops fired on people trying to get food, 100 people were killed, according to the gaza health ministry, which is hamas. The initial reporting on this is sounding a lot like the Hospital Incident so many months ago. Mike, we know you will keep following it for us. Thank you, appreciatist. Now this. I think this was a great deposition for us. It proved several bits of our evidence. There are also some contradictory statements that i think need further review. So this inquiry will now go to the next phase, a public hearing. We have heard no evidence of treason, bribery or other high crimes or misdemeanors touching joe biden today. As i said before, there is no evidence, because there is no evidence. Jacqui lots of back and forth after hunter biden testified Behind Closed Doors telling lawmakers under oath that his father was not involved in his business deals. But republicans say theres proof to the contrary pointing to the infamous Whatsapp Message hunter alludes to his pressure being present while pressuring a chinese businessman for millions of dollars. Miranda devine, this message that republicans are pointing to, hunter testified that he was high or drunk when he sent it and he sent it to the wrong person. But what i didnt hear from james comer was any claim that they have something new that would clinch their case. Did you . Well, hunter says he was high or drunk and he sent that Whatsapp Message to the wrong person. There were dozens of Whatsapp Messages and he got the 5 million as he asked for a few days later. So that doesnt wash. I mean, i think that you know, people asking for the smoking gun from james comer just being unrealistic or being deliberately trying to discredit his inquiry because of course you are not going t find a check made out by Vladimir Putin or somebody in ukraine to joe biden. Thats not how these things work. Obviously what we are seeing here is a pattern where joe biden was involved in his son and his brothers, jim bidens overseas influence peddling operations. I think that james comer has probably, you know, dozens of instances where joe biden was dialed in on the Speaker Phone or he invited hunters overseas clients to breakfast at the Vice President residence or he went to dinner with them at cafe milano while he was Vice President or dropped in on a lunch after he was Vice President with the chinese. You know, theres just so much evidence. Its kinds of ridiculous to hear the democrat keep the mantra of up of there is no evidence but that gets carried in the media as well. Jacqui is it unreasonable when you are bringing a smoking gun when you are bringing an impeachment . Even thats what comer is hoping to find. You wrote a headline, an article for the New York Post and you take issue with some of the reporting around the fbi informant who was who has now had his credibility questioned. Headline says fbi informant flawed rap will not help hunter biden in the Impeachment Probe in the family business. This fbi informant has been criticized, obviously, his testimony have been criticized and called into question because hes now facing charges overlying, basically folks have been saying that without this you dont really have the basis for the inquiry because you were called, democrats threaten excuse me, republicans threatened to hold the fbi director in contempt to get ahold of the 1023 form in which the allegations were made, but you seem to think it doesnt matter he is facing these charges and this is actually a setup against him. Is that right . Yeah, of course it doesnt matter. This is this person is described by Democrats Dishonestly as a key witness for the Impeachment Inquiry. He was not any kind of witness at all. Jim comer and Chuck Grassley jacqui threatened to hold the fbi director in contempt to get ahold of that. Wouldnt that make him a key with it . Yes, they did that, they wanted to get the fd1023 report he filed which made the Bribery Allegations against joe and hunter biden and which had been buried by david weiss and the fbi. It had never been investigated. And thats what Chuck Grassley wanted to be done because hed been told by an fbi whistleblower that it existed and then there was this incredible Stone Walling from christopher wray, the fbi director who said, funny enough, that he was concerned about this very valuable informant, his life being in danger if the fd1023 was released. Well, now fast forward, we have the informant, his name and his cover has been blown by david weiss and his prosecutors, and they are alleging he is a russian double agent. Now, that may or may not be the case. We still have to see. Just as we all said at the time that we had to see whether those allegations about the bribery, the 10 billion to hunter and joe biden, also had to be tested. But james comer never went any further with that allegation, with that fd1023 because they didnt know who the Confidential Informant was. Turns out it was alexander smirnov, up to the fbi to investigate. Clearly david weiss and the fbi have investigated and this is what they are alleging. I think theres a lot more to come for that story but it doesnt have any impact on the Impeachment Inquiry because he wasnt a witness. He wasnt involved. He was just all they could do was publicize what he said, but its now being manipulated by the democrats into some kind of new russia hoax that jamie raskin is trying to say discredits the entire Impeachment Inquiry that ignores the mountains of evidence. Jacqui james comer will have to produce evidence outside the claims made by this informant. He has. Thats what im trying to tell you. Hes produced mountains, jacqui. Jacqui miranda, we are out of time. Hes produced mountains and you are ignoring it. John well, congress proves it can play kick the can better than kids in Brooklyn Bridge in the great depression. Passed a shortterm Spending Measure continuing resolution will take the can a week down the road and they can kick it all over again. Jacqui Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Under Fire on capitol hill how hes defending his secret hospital stay. Thats coming up next. John plus, President Biden backtracking on predictions of an israeli ceasefire. A former Trump Administration official joins us on that in a few minutes. Stay with us. Why didnt we do this last year . Before you were preventing migraine with qulipta® . And look at me now. Youll never truly forget migraine, but zeromigraine days are possible.

Nothing like a sidekick that steps up in crunch time. [laughing] not cool man. Every Epic Footlong deserves the perfect sidekick. We did not handle this right and i did not handle it right. As you know, i have apologized, including directly to the president , and i take full responsibility. Jacqui Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Apologizing on capitol hill for his secret hospitalization, taken full responsibility for the Communication Breakdown but lawmakers still have a lot of questions. Jennifer griffin has more from the pentagon. Jennifer, what did they ask Secretary Austin . Well, jacqui, this was the first time lawmakers were able to directly question Defense Secretary lloyd austin about the communication break down when he went into the hospital in early january. Its totally unacceptable that it took three days to inform the president of the United States that the secretary of defense was in the hospital and not in control of the pentagon. I want to again make one thing very clear. At no time during my treatment or recovery were there any gaps in authorities. And there were no risk to the departments command and control. Authority was handed to Deputy Defense secretary Kathleen Hicks on january 2nd for three days but she was not told at first that Secretary Austin was in the hospital and remained on vacation in puerto rico. The pentagon says she traveled with the needed secure communications. There were the expected partisan fireworks today. Do you understand why this is unacceptable to the American People and to those military families . Who would be held accountable for this . This embarrassment . Again, i take full responsibility and we put measures in place to address the shortcomings. Secretary austin explained that he made a mistake by keeping his cancer diagnosis quiet, not even telling his own staff describing the diagnosis as a gut punch. Democrats criticized republicans for calling a hearing on the secretarys health while blocking Funding Bills for the Defense Department and ukraine. The dereliction of duty is not yours, sir. The dereliction of duty is right here on the dias. Secretary austin has ordered changes in the way the Defense Department communicates to the white house, congress, and relevant staffs in writing when or if the Defense Secretary is hospitalized or transfers his authority. John Just Moments Away from a Pentagon Briefing as the chances of a ceasefire between israel and hamas appear to be withering away. Bring in adam boehler, former senior Trump Administration official and former lead negotiator of the Abraham Accord peace agreement. The president as he was leaving for brownsville, texas earlier said this when the helicopter whirring in the background, dont worry, we have subtitles. Do you still expect to see a ceasefire by monday, sir . Hope springs eternal. I was on the telephone with the people in the region. Probably not by monday but im hopeful. John so says not by monday, everybody thought was adventurous anyway, should there even be a ceasefire, given the current circumstances . John, i always make comments like that with my ice cream, too. The answering right now is that the United States needs to stand firmly behind israel and here is the issue on the ceasefire. You need another party to have a ceasefire and Wall Street Journal was just reporting today the commander in gaza, sinwar, is not interested in one. And the reason is because every day that passes and every palestinian casualty benefits hamas. It benefits them in their p. R. War. And so the question is who is your Counter Party to even create a ceasefire unless its unilateral, which means you are leaving 130 hostages, including six americans behind. So i dont see the conditions yet. John speaking of palestinians killed and giving p. R. Victory to hamas, there was an incident as Relief Trucks were coming into Southwestern Gaza today, apparently hundreds of palestinians rushed the food trucks, a number were trampled, a number were run over by the trucks themselves. There was a small group of people Israeli Forces opened fire on because apparently they were getting too close to an israeli checkpoint and soldiers who were there, the idf clearly thought that they were being threatened. But the headline in Western Media agencies, more than 100 killed as Israeli Forces open fire and chaos at gaza food lines, Palestinian Health Ministry Says. Idf has countered saying this, this morning humanitarian aid trucks entered gaza. Dozens were killed and injured, so some casualties at the hands of the idf but the overwhelming majority were from people rushing the food trucks. But thats not the way its being reported here. Well, it reminds me totally of the hospital bombing before where everybody rushed in a breathless way to make comments about how many people died and what happened. The one thing i know. Idf does not support killing of civilians. Sometimes civilians die, they die because hamas is shielding, because there is a war, but they dont kill to kill, and if they did, it would be very easy to do that. So thats not the policy, thats hamas policy to take innocent civilians hostage and to kill them. And so what we know here, is if it happened, it happened because it was a sign of something else. Totally reminds me before and breathless proclamations within minutes. John so theres a lot of pressure on israel coming from the outside for a ceasefire, but theres not a lot of good ideas from nations outside of israel from their middle east arab neighbors or other person countries about what to do to get rid of hamas if theres a ceasefire. And how to put a legitimate and effective Governing Authority in its place. Yeah, i think what israel needs to think through right now, they have two options. They continue. They are being very successful right now, they are killing a lot of hamas militants. The key for them is can they impact the tunnels better. They have not been that successful in the tunnels, and the concern i have over time is that they continue to lose the p. R. War because hamas is very good at it and they have to decide where an end comes and how an end comes if they can impact the tunnels. So, thats kind of the question that sits in front of them. John adam boehler, always great to get your thoughts on these things. Jacqui moments ago President Biden arrived at the Southern Border all as former President Trump makes his way to shelby park in eagle pass. We will take you there live. John the Migrant Surge has up ended life for Border Communities and residents. And a rancher says he has seen thousands cross his ranch and steals goods from his property.

To vote for the bipartisan bill that was negotiated in the senate but failed to clear the chamber. Endorsed by the Border Patrol union but they are not supporting his visit today. In fact, according to bill melugin reporting on the trip that President Trump is making john if you were under the wing, would you say mr. President , come over here, speak to us. Jacqui of course. John we used to do that with trump all the time. Jacqui and beckon with your hands, or even the secretary who is with him. The president is there to rally some sort of a push to get this across, but its not going anywhere right now. This border bill. It did not clear the senate. Hes going to be trying to make the case that republicans have done nothing, of course they answer that claim with well, we passed hr2, and you could, mr. President , reinstate trumpera policies with the swipe of a pen if you chose to. So far he has not elected to do that. John Talking With Brandon Judd yesterday from the national Border Patrol council, and biden keeps saying he cant do anything with executive action, when he took them away that trump did that were effective, and under trump the remain in mexico was so controversial. So a lot of suggestions what he could do with his Executive Pen short of remain in mexico. Jacqui and its funny, he first said there was nothing that he could do and then they indicated that they could do something and they are going to try to approach that around the State Of The Union but the way they frame it, whatever they can do is less than what congress could do. John thats next week. See what they come up with. Jacqui noe silva, he lives and works on a texas ranch 20 miles from eagle pass, can you tell us what the reaction is in your community to having both the former president and the current president making their cases today in separate trips, duelling trips to the border . Well, i mean, theres always a lot of promises and i hope that i wish i could get together and do something about it. Its the problem that we have, its all these people coming in. Its always a lot of promises, a lot of ideas they want to do, but nothing is done. The damage they do when they come through the property, its i mean, tearing up fences and the property, you know, the trash and all of that. Jacqui i know youve been running that ranch for about eight years, sir. Can you describe what the change has been like since you took over and where you are at now, what your daily living is like and how its changed . Well, when i first got here you hardly wouldnt see anybody, illegals coming through. The every now and then you might come in through one of them or 2 or 3, and thats about it. But now, i mean, its just crazy. Too many people, by the thousands, and the damages that they do to the property, i mean, its not fair for the men that own the property. I mean it costs a lot of money to do all these repairs. They run through the fences when the Human Trafficking is going on and the chase off the highway and stuff. You can see the vehicles and how they tear up the fence. It costs a lot of money to repair all of that. Jacqui yeah, and and now jacqui we are beginning only now to hear in blue cities about the cost of having this influx of migrants, a cost you guys have been very familiar with in those Border Communities for a long time, and only just now people are beginning to realize. Noe silva, thank you for your time. Appreciate it sir. John he just defines texas, doesnt he . A look at eagle pass as we await the arrival of donald trump at the Southern Border.

John a lot of attention on the Southern Border today. A live picture of eagle pass, texas, where you can see the line of shipping containers, fencing and razor wire that The State Of Texas has put up in that park where former President Trump will be visiting to keep people from coming across the rio grande and in to the United States. There is a lot of talk about whether walls work. This has cut down crossriver traffic by a significant margin even though theres still a lot of people, a number in the hundreds that come in every day. Contrast in eagle pass where brownsville where the president will be touring soon. They had one day where no people crossed the border illegally. So biden once again, like he did in el paso. Jacqui is going to a place where not much is going on where former President Trump is going to the epicenter of the problem where texas has pulled out all the stops and defied the federal government and tried to stop people from coming in the country illegally. Talk about how walls work. Theres a Monmouth Poll that shows for the first time, majority of americans want a wall. That doesnt tell you where things are and how bad the crisis is, i dont know what will. In brownsville, the president is going to be getting a briefing which is really just a photo op. The irony here is this administration doles out plenty of criticism when republican lawmakers go to the border and make similar political pushes for legislation. They decry it as a photo op and a gimmick. So they deny that this is any different. John when we get these great drone shots of the Border Barrier that Governor Abbott has put in, you can see texas dps and the National Guard patrolling along the tops. Its almost reminiscent of the berlin wall. They felt extreme circumstances required extreme measures. Well stay with this.
