Unfortunately.

And every day and that's.

Okay.

-- -- -- -- -- -- You and everybody I mean every couple I've noticed.

What's going on behind the helicopter went -- -- something that is trying to prevent something that's quite predictable.

And then -- got a union presidency I got the.

Well not at all matter fact that was very disheartened when the president came in El Paso.

Couple weeks ago.

Had a photo -- about it.

The city of El Paso -- Proclaim that the border was this statement that's ever been and that's just nonsense.

US these men and women -- put their lives on the line overnight the Border Patrol agents the hi statement.

Texas Department of Public Safety.

Folks in that helicopter swat teams that are out there at the local law enforcement all of those individuals and that this border not only his fourth.

But the people that are coming across the border we have no idea that well unfortunately we didn't know what's come up from and they are from.

Countries that have very close ties to al-Qaeda.

What that -- -- or Afghanistan Pakistan.

China.

It is.

An absolute national disgrace.

That surprised me today is that highlighted the risk drugs and guns and then.

And smuggling humans back to what it what I had not cut -- New York people's day here's how -- different.

Now -- come across this border.

Illegally that's President -- -- there's some that there are red flags and -- -- countries like Pakistan -- -- of course -- you know don't be alarmist but.

Have those seventy countries that have been most unfriendly to put it politely.

We have now or upwards of five or six years -- -- going to Washington DC.

Explaining the congress administration.

That we have a real and serious.

-- NA NA present danger that has to be addressed.

Some twelve.

Democrat -- people who are not my political party.

Went with us to.

Washington.

A few years back to share the story about what's happening on the border.

And it's only gotten worse.

We know that.

There has to be more boots on the ground you saw a and you saw wall today.

Vince being built in Alabama and and you ask the question is that -- -- and they've.

Director of the department of public safety said -- This isn't a very rural area.

In the country and yeah defense in the big question went over the fence there -- -- -- the legal matter if you if you don't have boots on the ground.

You cannot defend them -- put -- The issue is can you tell that the president plumber wanna hear from you.

And I hope the president the United States would hear from.

The president was -- even the governor of the second largest.

State and -- -- 12100 -- border with Mexico.

We correspondent but I don't know whether he.

Let's.

I don't know whether he's here.

But the but the issue -- you've got an entire administration.

And a congress that has been.

Reluctant.

To do what it and I have no idea I can't answer they -- it runs -- company here and of the Milwaukee.

They end up in Chicago they end up in Boston end up in Idaho then followed -- -- country.

Mean these are poisons that are showing up and our and our -- and our children's.

Bloodstream and -- there poisoning a generation of Americans so.

Why wouldn't we do everything that we -- to defend that border from those drugs.

Cartels that are have operational control of a substantial amount of that border I think in the -- index.

Well certainly there in Mexico but here's the scary part there also and our -- -- that I don't I don't event that's been an off.

Passes there there are all brought in and we're starting to see them.

As operational.

Sells a few well intensity cities as one of the reasons I'm so.

Upset and frustrated.

With the department Homeland Security from grants that should be coming into the states.

-- assist with this time the border security and -- cutting them rather than leaving -- that's what.

And that's what I'm worried about is that as bad as that is today it's only going to get war because the cartels see this administration.

Basically say and the border say don't worry about anything.

Governor thank you and I know the -- gonna check on Nelson.

Long night ahead of -- -- the government.
