Speaker 1: A US The US has launched a retaliatory strike after
Speaker 1: a drone attack on Iraqi military base wounds three US
Speaker 1: service members. The Pentagon has now confirmed a drone attack
Speaker 1: by a Rean affiliated terrorist group on a military base
Speaker 1: in Iraq happened early Monday morning. It has left three
Speaker 1: US service members wounded, the Pentagon has said and prompted
Speaker 1: President Biden to order quote retaliatory strikes. The attack on
Speaker 1: the Herbil Air Base in northern Iraq was conducted by
Speaker 1: Hesbaalah militants backed by Iran. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said
Speaker 1: in his statement. One of the three service members wounded
Speaker 1: is in critical condition, Austin disclosed in response, Thank goodness,
Speaker 1: mister Biden, after being brief and holding a call with
Speaker 1: Austin and his national security team, ordered retaliatory strikes on
Speaker 1: three low kisations utilized by hes Blah and affiliated groups,
Speaker 1: focused specifically on unmanned aerial drone activities, the National Security
Speaker 1: spokesman Watson said in a statement. Now, according to US
Speaker 1: Central Command, the retaliatory strike on the three sites, all
Speaker 1: located in Iraq, were conducted at eight forty five Eastern
Speaker 1: time and likely killed a number of the hes BLA militants,
Speaker 1: no civilians.
Speaker 2: They say, we're believed to have been wounded and or killed.
Speaker 1: S Com also said in a statement, this obviously is significant.
Speaker 1: Iraqi officials said the US strike killed one militant and
Speaker 1: injured eighteen. The Associated Press is now also reporting Baghdad
Speaker 1: has denounced the US strikes as a quote hostile act.
Speaker 1: The AFP news agency is reporting the government called them
Speaker 1: an unacceptable attack on Iraqi sovereignty that damage relations, they
Speaker 1: claim between Iraq and the US. There have been dozens
Speaker 1: of attacks by Iranian backed militant groups and militias targeting
Speaker 1: US forces in Iraq and Sirius since the violent October
Speaker 1: seventh Teririst assault on Israel by Hamas, a group that
Speaker 1: US officials have long said received financial and material aid
Speaker 1: and support from Iran, and in response, US forces have
Speaker 1: conducted several rounds of strikes on what defensivefic will say
Speaker 1: are Iranian linked weapons facilities and Iran backed fighters now.
Speaker 1: On November twentieth, several US service members were injured in
Speaker 1: another molistic missile attack by Iran back militias on another
Speaker 1: air base in Iraq. The Pentagon has confirmed as well
Speaker 1: and in similar fashion to Monday's retaliation, the US immediately
Speaker 1: launched strikes on militia, link facilities and personnel. Now, this
Speaker 1: is the part that is so frustrating. What is so
Speaker 1: frustrating is we know where to hit, and we're not hitting.
Speaker 2: Them in advance. Let me say that again.
Speaker 1: We know where to hit, and we're not hitting them
Speaker 1: in advance. This also comes as a very somber time
Speaker 1: in Israel, including in Bethlehem. If you talk about Christmas
Speaker 1: and you know the history of Christmas, you understand the
Speaker 1: significance of the Holy Site Bethlehem. What has happened this
Speaker 1: Christmas in Bethlehem because of the attacks by Hamas and
Speaker 1: the pro Palestinian groups, they have basically had to shut
Speaker 1: it down. I want you to hear another story, again,
Speaker 1: shocking story about what's happening in Israel because of their
Speaker 1: threats against their country. Take a listen to this from CBS.
Speaker 3: Good even give me one. Thank you for joining us.
Speaker 3: I'm Major Garrett infer Nora. We begin this Christmas night
Speaker 3: in Gaza with some of the most intense fightings since
Speaker 3: the start of the war. Israel launched air strikes on
Speaker 3: about two hundred targets in the last twenty four hours,
Speaker 3: including a refugee camp that strike killed more than one
Speaker 3: hundred civilians. Anger and frustration over hostages held by Hamas
Speaker 3: is growing. Family members heckled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netanyahuo
Speaker 3: today during a speech to Parliament their message bring their
Speaker 3: loved ones home, and now fears the war will escalate
Speaker 3: beyond Gaza. After a suspected Israeli airstrike on the Syrian
Speaker 3: capital of Damascus killed a senior leader of Iran's Revolutionary Guard,
Speaker 3: Iran Is vowing revenge elsewhere. Pope Francis used his Christmas
Speaker 3: message to ask the world to pray for peace as
Speaker 3: he called for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.
Speaker 2: CBS's MPTS tie.
Speaker 3: It will start us off tonight from East Jerusalem as
Speaker 3: the Egyptian government introduces an ambitious plan to end the
Speaker 3: war MTS Good Evening.
Speaker 4: Good evening well. The Egyptian proposal includes a ceasefire, a
Speaker 4: phased release of hostages, and the creation of a Palestinian
Speaker 4: government of experts who would lead the Gaza Strip and
Speaker 4: the West Bank. But amid reports, Hamas has already rejected
Speaker 4: the deal. Israeli airstrikes on Gaza are only intensifying. Christmas
Speaker 4: was a day of carnage in Gaza after the Israeli
Speaker 4: military carried out dozens of air strikes on the Magazi
Speaker 4: refugee camp, killing at least one hundred Palestinians, according to
Speaker 4: the Hamas run Ministry of Health and what's being described
Speaker 4: as one of the deadliest Israeli attacks since the fighting began.
Speaker 4: On the ground, the grief was unbearable as a father
Speaker 4: hugged the lifeless body of his child. The Israeli military
Speaker 4: said it was reviewing the incident after announcing seventeen of
Speaker 4: its soldiers had been killed over the weekend, its worst
Speaker 4: two day losses since early November. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya,
Speaker 4: who met with soldiers in northern Gaza, where he told
Speaker 4: them for good and we will not stop. Forget anyone
Speaker 4: who talks about stopping elsewhere. In the West Bank city
Speaker 4: of Bethlehem, in the shadow of the Church of the Nativity,
Speaker 4: a sole incubator inside a figure representing Baby Jesus as
Speaker 4: a symbol of Gaza's vulnerable babies.
Speaker 2: A grim theme also.
Speaker 4: On display in nearby Major Square, where a stark Nativity
Speaker 4: scene of Christ born amid rubble and barbed wire was
Speaker 4: set up this Christmas. The Holy City of Bethlehem was
Speaker 4: in no mood to celebrate. Back in Gaza, the small
Speaker 4: Christian community, one of the world's oldest, continue to struggle
Speaker 4: to survive, but danger is everywhere around them. Two women,
Speaker 4: eighty one year old Nahida Khalil Antune and her fifty
Speaker 4: year old daughter Samar, were shot and killed by an
Speaker 4: Israeli sniper as they walked between church buildings.
Speaker 2: In Bethlehem.
Speaker 4: We met Nahita's grandson, Joudi, who is sick with worry
Speaker 4: for his grieving grandfather.
Speaker 2: Saw I don't know what she to deserve.
Speaker 4: This, he says. She was just an innocent old lady.
Speaker 2: Is she in law? To Zimphi? It's Christmas?
Speaker 4: How are you feeling today? You're all sad, anxious and
Speaker 4: full of worry, he says. They are trapped in under siege,
Speaker 4: without food or water. Again, there's nothing to celebrate and
Speaker 4: I'm I'm a idea and tonight, Israel says it's bracing
Speaker 4: for retaliation from Tehran as Iranian state media reports that
Speaker 4: in Israeli airstrike in Syria killed a high ranking Iranian
Speaker 4: military leader with the Revolutionary Guards saying Israel will pay
Speaker 4: for his killing, a threat that only adds to the
Speaker 4: concern this war could spread across the region.
Speaker 1: Major you listen to that report, and again it's the
Speaker 1: Uranium media now reporting major retaliatory tax will take place,
Speaker 1: major retaliatory tax will take place on Israel this after
Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't understand this, so I
Speaker 1: want to make sure this is very clear. The part
Speaker 1: that I think is the most frustrating is notice how
Speaker 1: even the media is promoting, yet again, every single bit
Speaker 1: of information that comes out from the Hamas Palestinian government
Speaker 1: as fact. Did you notice that they're acting like it
Speaker 1: is all fact. If they say one hundred people got murdered, right,
Speaker 1: that's how they report it. We know that they lie,
Speaker 1: we know that they manipulate, We know that they don't
Speaker 1: tell the truth. We know that they are constantly not
Speaker 1: telling us accurately what's really.
Speaker 2: Going on and what's happening.
Speaker 1: And yet you hear in the media they still continue
Speaker 1: to report it by saying, well, this is what they're
Speaker 1: saying and putting it out there. Israel has already responded
Speaker 1: in several different ways in several different ways that they've said, Hey,
Speaker 1: some of the information that you just heard is not accurate.
Speaker 1: Saying that we hit this a certain site where there
Speaker 1: was all these innocent people. They're also saying is not
Speaker 1: accurate at this hour. Also internally, they're saying the number
Speaker 1: of people that came number police are excuse me, number
Speaker 1: of people that went to the hospital does not match
Speaker 1: up with a number of victims that they are claiming
Speaker 1: actually happen in one of those attacks. I just want
Speaker 1: to put that information out there. But you go back
Speaker 1: to the core, you go back to the basics of this.
Speaker 1: You can hear and this is happening, and I warned
Speaker 1: you it was going to happen. There is a massive,
Speaker 1: massive turn against Israel happening right now. It is full
Speaker 1: speed ahead against anyone who disagrees with what Israel is doing.
Speaker 2: Defending themselves.
Speaker 1: You heard net and Yahoo there telling them we will
Speaker 1: not stop, we will not stop. After what happened to
Speaker 1: them on the seventh. I do not blame them for
Speaker 1: quote not stopping. For more than ten years, Patriot Mobile
Speaker 1: has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. They stand
Speaker 1: behind their values and they stand behind exceptional service. They're
Speaker 1: an example of putting the cause a head of profit,

Speaker 1: I want to get to one other aspect of what
Speaker 1: also is happening right now in this in the country,
Speaker 1: in the world. And it doesn't deal with Israel, it
Speaker 1: doesn't deal with a Ran, and I'm going to keep
Speaker 1: monitoring that for you, but it deals with the economy.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people over the holidays that
Speaker 1: we're talking about the economy and how things are changing.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has come out and he was asked a
Speaker 1: simple question about the economy and just how bad the
Speaker 1: economy is right now and how things are turning. Listen
Speaker 1: to what Joe Biden had to say about the current
Speaker 1: economic conditions.
Speaker 4: About the economy or what's your outlook on the founding
Speaker 4: off here?
Speaker 2: All goods, thank you, Look, go report of the right way,
Speaker 2: start reporting it the right way.
Speaker 1: He's mumbling his words there, but he said, with the economy,
Speaker 1: it is all good, nothing wrong with the economy, Go
Speaker 1: and report it the right way. The problem is Democrats
Speaker 1: are now moving the opposite of that, as Democratic colleague,
Speaker 1: dodging questions on Donald Trump's economy, admitting Rocanna saying food
Speaker 1: and gas prices are high, along with the rent and
Speaker 1: interest rates.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: On Friday's broadcast on Fox Noutionel America reports Representative Rocana,
Speaker 1: Democrat from California, told the truth about where the economy is,
Speaker 1: especially as new polling data is showing that many Americans
Speaker 1: feel very uneasy heading into next year.
Speaker 2: Take a listen.
Speaker 5: Americans have mixed feelings about the state of the economy
Speaker 5: heading into twenty twenty four, and it's causing some alarm
Speaker 5: among Democrats over President Biden making Bidenomics a major focus
Speaker 5: of his reelection campaign. Let's bring in California Democratic Congressman
Speaker 5: Rotekanna for more on this. Congressman, thanks so much for
Speaker 5: being here. I want to start off with just some
Speaker 5: graphics of the price change on some big sectors since
Speaker 5: the president took office and now, I mean, if you
Speaker 5: look at gas, it's up twenty seven percent over this
Speaker 5: period of time that he's been in office, electricity twenty
Speaker 5: three percent, food twenty percent, rent eighteen percent, and if
Speaker 5: you go over to borrowing rates, the thirty year fixed
Speaker 5: rate mortgage is one hundred and forty percent car Loans
Speaker 5: nearly sixty.
Speaker 2: The list goes on.
Speaker 5: So that's really what's being reflected in the polls why
Speaker 5: people are not happy about the state of the economy.
Speaker 5: Do you think that the president should stick with Bidenomics?
Speaker 6: Well, I think we have to acknowledge that rents are high,
Speaker 6: interest rates are high, food and.
Speaker 2: Gas prices are high.
Speaker 6: But wages also have gone up, and this president as
Speaker 6: ushered in they manufacturing revolution to bring back jobs.
Speaker 2: I was encouraged today that.
Speaker 6: Sectary Romando said no, we're not going to allow this
Speaker 6: nip on a steel company to buy us deal. We're
Speaker 6: going to look into it. That's a big issue. I
Speaker 6: think the administration needs to reject that deal and emphasize
Speaker 6: bringing manufacturing home.
Speaker 5: But just does Bidenomics itself work? I mean, if you
Speaker 5: ditch Bidenomics, it might look like a failure on his
Speaker 5: big reelection initiative, but it does to a lot of
Speaker 5: people seem out of touch. Do you think he should
Speaker 5: stick with the Moniker.
Speaker 2: Yes or no?
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, Bidenomics is about bringing manufacturing back. I think most
Speaker 6: people would agree about that. Many dynamics is about increasing
Speaker 6: wages for the working class. That doesn't mean you say
Speaker 6: everything is grossy. Obviously you acknowledge interest rates are high,
Speaker 6: caused by the Fed. Obviously you acknowledge that prices are high.
Speaker 5: Okay, so your team Bidenomics appreciate that. I want to
Speaker 5: go quickly to this news in Colorado.
Speaker 2: By the way, let's just stop there.
Speaker 1: I love how he's like, oh, everything's too high, but
Speaker 1: Bidenomics is somehow still working.
Speaker 2: Wait what.
Speaker 1: I mean it's still working? How is it still working?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: I think we have to acknowledge that rents are high,
Speaker 1: interest rates are high, food and gas prints are high,
Speaker 1: but wages have also gone up. And the President has
Speaker 1: ushered in manufacturing revolution.
Speaker 2: We are now in a revolution.
Speaker 1: He said, he is ushered in a manufacturing revolution to
Speaker 1: bring back jobs. When did that happen, he said, I
Speaker 1: was encouraged by the Secretary saying, no, we're not going
Speaker 1: to allow this Asian, this Chinese steel company to buy
Speaker 1: a US steel We're going to look into it.
Speaker 2: That's a big issue. That doesn't mean that.
Speaker 1: You manufactured are ushered in a manufacturing revolution to bring
Speaker 1: back jobs. By the way, I'm all in favor of
Speaker 1: bringing back jobs. But you listen to the hosts they're asking,
Speaker 1: does Bidenomics itself work? Quote, if you ditch Bidenomics, it
Speaker 1: might look like a failure on his reelection initiat.
Speaker 2: But it does to a lot of people seem out
Speaker 2: of touch. Do you think you should stick with it?
Speaker 1: Monikers, yes or no, con saying, well, yeah, Bidenomics about
Speaker 1: bringing manufacturing back. Since when show me real and big
Speaker 1: manufacturing that's coming back. I'd love to see it. I
Speaker 1: don't see it. I don't believe you. The facts don't
Speaker 1: back it up. The facts don't adequately back up any
Speaker 1: of this. The idea that this is somehow working, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: The idea that Bidenomics isn't anything but a disaster, not
Speaker 1: because I say it.
Speaker 2: I want to be clear about that. It is not
Speaker 2: because I say it.
Speaker 1: It's because that's the reality of the situation, based on data,
Speaker 1: based on stats, based on home prices, mortgage prices, interest rates,
Speaker 1: the list goes on and on. It's based on all
Speaker 1: of that. It's not based on politics or political ideology.
Speaker 1: Right that it could be good for one and bad
Speaker 1: for another, are Okay, that's not the case at all.
Speaker 1: It's very clear, It is abundantly clear that it is because.
Speaker 2: Of a very simple thing.
Speaker 1: He has put in policies and put in programs that
Speaker 1: clearly do not work and have not worked. That is Bidenomics,
Speaker 1: whether you want to admit it or not. That's what
Speaker 1: Bidenomics is. That's what Bidenomics looks like. And the American
Speaker 1: voter is smart enough to understand now that things cost more.
Speaker 1: The American voters are smart enough to understand that the
Speaker 1: prices are high, and the reason why prices are high
Speaker 1: is because of it is because of what I just mentioned.
Speaker 1: When your policies are failure, and notice this, the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party is refusing.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's be very very very very very clear.
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party is refusing to admit that their policy
Speaker 1: is hurting Americans. And they'd rather stick by a slogan
Speaker 1: than tell you the truth. They would rather stick by
Speaker 1: bi nomics than admit that the policy isn't working and
Speaker 1: maybe we should be doing something different.
Speaker 2: That's how little they care about you and your family.
Speaker 1: What we do know is the southern border has become
Speaker 1: a real issue for the President of the United States
Speaker 1: of America. The Texas border wide open as these sectors
Speaker 1: of the border have been shuttered, their stations for catch
Speaker 1: and release to take place because there's an overwhelming surge
Speaker 1: of migrants crossing the Rio.
Speaker 2: Grand has forced the busiest.
Speaker 1: Border sector in Texas to close border patrol stations so
Speaker 1: that the personnel that normally works there can be reassigned
Speaker 1: to migrant processing and what they're referring to as transportation
Speaker 1: duties chauffeurs for legal immigrants. According to a US Customs
Speaker 1: and Border Protection source, the announcement came on Friday, hoping
Speaker 1: that no one would notice, ordering managers to cease operations
Speaker 1: at stations and Correzo Springs, Cumsock, Euvalde, and Brackettville, Texas.
Speaker 1: The move, they say, we'll leave more than ten thousand
Speaker 1: square miles within the sector without any border patrol presence.
Speaker 2: Let me say that again.
Speaker 1: This move by the Biden administration will leave more than
Speaker 1: ten thousand square miles ten thousand square miles within those
Speaker 1: sectors without any border patrol presence at all. In recent weeks,
Speaker 1: Biden administration shuttered the Eagle Pass bridge, one port of
Speaker 1: entry and the railroad bridge linking Eagle Pass to Mexico.
Speaker 2: What do they do?
Speaker 1: They reassign personnel to address the continuing migrant surge.
Speaker 2: The railroad line.
Speaker 1: Was shut to slow the flow of migrants, as that
Speaker 1: is the primary mode of transportation for the group of migrants,
Speaker 1: sometimes in the thousands, to reach the US border for
Speaker 1: the interior of Mexico.
Speaker 2: The rail bridge.
Speaker 1: Reopened earlier Friday, signaling the flow of migrants may continued
Speaker 1: unobated in the coming days. The announcement on Friday also
Speaker 1: included instructions to some Border Patrol agents and their managers
Speaker 1: that the holiday leave that was scheduled more than a
Speaker 1: year in advance may be canceled for a few employees
Speaker 1: that qualified. The sources said, as with previous migrant surges
Speaker 1: in the area, the Department of Home in Security has
Speaker 1: not put forth any solution to the massive crossings and
Speaker 1: has left the Border Patrol to deal with the monumental
Speaker 1: task of providing humanitarian tear thousands and thousands that are
Speaker 1: arriving and breaking into this country illegally every single day.
Speaker 1: Sources also said that this move to shutter operations could
Speaker 1: not have come at a worse time, saying this, the
Speaker 1: cartels know that we have fewer agents on patrol during
Speaker 1: the holiday season.
Speaker 2: We heighten our alert during these times to combat this.
Speaker 1: With no agents on patrol inland or on the immediate border.
Speaker 1: We are inviting them to move contraband at high volumes
Speaker 1: and high target values at will, with no threat of
Speaker 1: being caught, no threat of apprehension. This is the biggest
Speaker 1: Christmas present the US has ever given to the drug cartels.
Speaker 1: Earlier this week, we also, as I mentioned, the agency
Speaker 1: shut down all border patrol highway inspection checkpoints for the
Speaker 1: same reason. The checkpoints are a critical tear in the
Speaker 1: border patrol security strategy and serve as the last line
Speaker 1: of defense to prevent migrants and most importantly, fetnol and
Speaker 1: other narcoctics from leaving the border region. As of Saturday morning,
Speaker 1: the processing facility was nearly five times over capacity, holding
Speaker 1: foury eight hundred migrants in a soft sided processing facility
Speaker 1: designed to hold a thousand. At another temporary outdoor staging
Speaker 1: site near the Camino Real International Bridge, there was nearly
Speaker 1: five hundred migrants still waiting transportation, according to sources. The
Speaker 1: source says the administration is choosing to exercise options at
Speaker 1: further decrease border security to address the surge instead of
Speaker 1: ending the wide scale practice of catch and release.
Speaker 2: Quote.
Speaker 1: It boggles the mind that we are leaving the border
Speaker 1: wide open, not responding to migrant incursions onto private property
Speaker 1: or stemming the flow of fetanyls, simply because we can't
Speaker 1: effectively remove migrants who we know do not qualify for asylum.
Speaker 1: The sources emphasized, saying this policies previously available to border patrol,
Speaker 1: including the Remain in Mexico policy and others that stem
Speaker 1: the abuse of asylums of the asylum system, are no
Speaker 1: longer an option under the current administration. The impacts of
Speaker 1: the crossings are also felt by local communities that rely
Speaker 1: on the ports of entry for legal crossings for tourism, shopping,
Speaker 1: and employment. The highway checkpoints serve as the last line
Speaker 1: of defense for the border patrol to detect humans smuggling,
Speaker 1: sex trafficking, child sex exploitation and smuggling, and other cross
Speaker 1: border crimes such as fetnyls smuggling, which is killing more
Speaker 1: more young people in this country than anything else. These
Speaker 1: closed stations, they say, will also not be available to
Speaker 1: respond to calls for assistance from local law enforcement miles
Speaker 1: from the border. As was reported last week, the increase
Speaker 1: in crossings has frustrated local residents as well as city
Speaker 1: leaders who are exacerbated by the level of migrant crossings
Speaker 1: facing the small towns of Eagle Pass, Texas.
Speaker 2: The mayor there.
Speaker 1: Took to social media earlier this month to express his
Speaker 1: frustration with the surge of migrants flooding into the city,
Speaker 1: describing the constant flow of migrants into the city as
Speaker 1: a immigration disaster. Salinas chied a Department of Home and
Speaker 1: Security Secretary my Orchis for visiting Euvalde, Texas, a city
Speaker 1: sixty miles away from the border region, but failing to
Speaker 1: visit one of the busiest migrant crossing spots in Eagle
Speaker 1: Pass during the visit. Migrant crossings remain roughly two thousand
Speaker 1: per day in the Del Rio sector alone. They peaked
Speaker 1: at a new level last week, with those numbers at
Speaker 1: more than four thousand illegal immigrants coming across in the
Speaker 1: Del Rio sector in a twenty four hour period. Most
Speaker 1: of the migrants being encountered at the Del Rio sector,
Speaker 1: where four thousand people came across the border in a
Speaker 1: twenty four hour period, are coming from Venezuela, Honduras, Colombia.
Speaker 1: According to local sources, Most of them arrive at the
Speaker 1: border city on freight trains and immediately crossed the Rio
Speaker 1: Grande into the neighboring city of Eagle Pass.
Speaker 2: Once they're there, there are problem.
Speaker 1: Law enforcement and military authorities on both sides of the
Speaker 1: border have remained powerless to slow the stop of the
Speaker 1: crossings because the United States government and our president is
Speaker 1: refusing to give them what they need to protect and
Speaker 1: defend themselves. So to be clear, this is a process
Speaker 1: that we're talking about right now that is avoidable. This
Speaker 1: is a process that not only is avoidable, this is
Speaker 1: a scenario that could be stopped with a simple change
Speaker 1: in policy, a simple change in policy that would take
Speaker 1: hours to begin to implement, hours nowadays hours. And we
Speaker 1: have a president of the United States of America who
Speaker 1: has come out and made it very clear, I'm not
Speaker 1: changing a damn thing. I'm not doing anything differently. I'm
Speaker 1: not doing anything to stop this. This is all being
Speaker 1: done by design, and that's part of what you need
Speaker 1: to understand. This is all being done by design. This
Speaker 1: president wants there to be a flood of illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1: Former Border patrol chief, talking about the Biden admitted administration,
Speaker 1: had this to say on Fox Take a listen.
Speaker 7: Former Border Patrol chief and former acting ICE Director Ron,
Speaker 7: thank you for being here. I appreciate it. Let's start
Speaker 7: off on this notion of this issue with the terror
Speaker 7: watch list. We'll pull up the numbers for our viewers.
Speaker 7: One hundred and sixty nine people that were on the
Speaker 7: terror watch list were encountered in the fiscal year twenty
Speaker 7: twenty three. So far in this fiscal year which started
Speaker 7: in October, that number is thirty and those are the
Speaker 7: people that were encountered. We don't know how many on
Speaker 7: the terror watch lists slipped in. Let me ask you, Ron,
Speaker 7: when you see this and then you hear about the
Speaker 7: ten IEDs and explosive devices that were found on the border,
Speaker 7: and then you see the video of people cutting the
Speaker 7: border wall, it seems like they're more brazen about what
Speaker 7: they're doing. There are more people coming in. What do
Speaker 7: you make of the threat that this nation face is
Speaker 7: going to twenty twenty four from the border.
Speaker 2: Well, thanks for inviting me, Brian. You know this is good.
Speaker 8: This is a good example of the threat that's in
Speaker 8: the mix right, all of these people on the terror
Speaker 8: watch list, and what we know now, given what the
Speaker 8: conditions are at the border, is that the cartels are
Speaker 8: in control. You could not have a better president than
Speaker 8: Joe Biden. If you're in the Taliban, or if you're
Speaker 8: a Mexican drug cartel, or if you're a proxy of
Speaker 8: Iran or i Ran itself, and the threat that's in
Speaker 8: the mix that exists every single day. The point that
Speaker 8: you made the one hundred and seventy eight people that
Speaker 8: were encountered by CBP who are also on the terror
Speaker 8: watch list, but we know there's over a million people
Speaker 8: in the last couple of years that have what the
Speaker 8: borb tool calls known godaways, which means what which means
Speaker 8: they saw people across the border.
Speaker 2: And we're not able to apprehend them.
Speaker 8: They're overwhelmed by the number of encounters that they're seeing,
Speaker 8: and every single number is off the charts. The deaths
Speaker 8: at the border, the criminally involved that we're catching, that
Speaker 8: the borbetol is catching, the people who are on the
Speaker 8: terror watch list that are being caught by the borg troll,
