Keyward on our website. Bank that's the Bank answer it now, all right, Billy Cunningham, the great American, of course, will continue to follow the disaster in the Middle East, especially Israel, Hamas and things of that character. The President's going to address the nation, hopefully he has a lot of B twelve shots and also will be awake and read the teleprompter. That's
a different story. But one of the great reporters on the southern border is Ali Bradley of News Nation, run of course by our good friend Sean Compton. And at this point, as our attention and news is diverted to the Middle East, as it should be, while that is happening over there,
guess what's happening on our southern border. And Ali Bradley has a posting that says encounters with Middle Eastern migrants up at the border, encounter with migrants from special interest countries have gone up, and a former DHS official says there could be somebody coming in with nefarious and tensions. It's possible. Ali Bradley, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show and this glorious Thursday afternoon. Can you tell us the last time we spoke you were away from the border. What's
happening now as we speak this Thursday afternoon. Yeah, right now, I'm actually watching a group of about fifteen migrants from Mexico who just crossed in through the open wall here down in No Gallas, and there's no border patrol down here, so I was kind of tasked with the job. Now three groups have come in over the last two hours, and I'm kind of directing them up the hill to go to border patrol because border patrol is not down here
to pick them up. So now if they get retrieved by border patrol, that is to be seen, right, But we don't know these are the ones who are coming over to self surrender. Bill. So what we've also been witnessing down here is these smuggling groups are actually sending over very high profile people. We don't know who those people are, but usually when they do these operations, Bill, they will send out four or five guys to send
four or five guys over the wall. Right, it's an operation. While we're watching them send four or five guys out to help one individual, one person across the wall. Every agent I talked to everybody down here says that person paid a lot to get away to not be seen. So they're exploiting the very busy two subsector right now, which has been experiencing record breaking migrant encounter numbers. We're looking at thirteen thousand, four hundred in a single week
this month. So they're being inundated down here, and that means there's no border patrol on the line, and that means the cartel is able to operate and do things like what we've been witnessing them doing. But one bad actor. That's what the agents all say. That guy was a bad guy because if he wasn't, you're not, you would not get there trying to do that, smuggling him in and use all of those resources when they're an open
door literally two football field lengths away. And so we're watching this happen, and we're also obviously on high alert because we do know that or people from special interest countries, and those are countries that are designated by DHS in the State Department as countries that would have some kind of tie to terrorism to a degree. Now, these individuals were not saying they are terrorists, but DHS has isolated these countries as Hey, they did a little extra time, a
little extra interview process here. Well, that's not necessarily happening either. You've got people coming in from Afghanistan who are getting NTAs within forty eight hours.
There's no detention process happening with these individuals for some of them. And you look down at the tu Sun sector, which I said is experiencing these record making members, and we had twenty septs in Syrian nationals come into the Tusun sector last week alone, and you compare that to September bill all of September in the same sector, twenty one, twenty seven and last week alone, and you know, you kind of go, Okay, well, are they
fleeing because of the war, maybe, but it takes some time to get here, and so for them to be here last week already, it's kind of shocking to see those numbers, right, seeing more in a week than we have for the entire month, and border patrol agents to expect those numbers to continue to increase with the current unrest that's happening in the Middle East, and of course those countries that aren't willing to open their doors to those Palestinian
refugees as well. I'm looking at one of your social media postings Ali Bradley. You say last week agents encountered twenty seven migrants from Syria, compared to twenty one migrants at the same sector in September. During the same time, eighteen people from Iran, three from Lebanon, and were stopped at the southern border. In September, agents encountered three hundred and twenty four migrants from these countries on the southern border. I assume you mean by that Iran and Lebanon,
and of those, forty percent crossed through the Tucson sector. And these countries are deemed special interest. Now explain, explain how we locate them, Explain how they're different than Mexicans, and explain how many are getting away. We don't know about. Yeah, right now, for the most part, the people that are coming from these special interest countries, they are being apprehended,
so they are coming over and their self surrendering. Right now, you do have to consider that border patrol is also reported there are eighteen thousand known gutaways in the first sixteen days of this fiscal year. We're cat over a thousand people that we know has successfully evaded law enforcement. So, yes, we are seeing an uptick in people from special interest countries that are coming over
and giving themselves up to border patrol. But we're also feeing eighteen thousand plus people completely discur the EBITs, and we don't know who those individuals are. But BI what's also important here to note that even if these people from these special interest countries come over with their hands up and say I'm here, we are self surrendering. We are vetting them against what Rodney Scott, the chiefs that just recently retired from border patrol. We are betting them against an empty
hard drives, a blank piece of paper has never been here. They don't have records or do you think that we have access to a dance criminal babasis? No, do you think they even have one? So you know, that's the reality. We've got one hundred and seventy different nationalities that have been repped resented along our southern more over the last two and a half years,
and we don't have access to the vast majority of those databases. And those are real conversations we need to have because we aldly even have access to Mexico's information. And so everybody thinks that we're going through these vetting processes, but we really again You're only as good as you have to vet them again, you know what. So that's kind of where we are. And keep coming from afghanist Dan. You've got people coming from Yemen, from It, from
Iraq, Syria, all these different countries. But again, even if they self surrender, unless they commit a crime here on US oil, or if they ping on Interpol's terrorists lists, we don't know who they are. When you say eighteen reality Aali Bradley, we kind of say this quickly. But eighteen thousand known got aways in seven days, and you're you're in the middle of that. Does how many days? Sixteen days, sixteen I'm sorry,
sixteen days, eighteen thousand. Now, when someone is transport, imagine being a terrorist in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, where afghanis there, wherever you're coming from. You don't walk to Arizona. It takes weeks to get there. It takes literally thousands and thousands of dollars to go from Tehran, Iran to Nogallas, Arizona. You just don't just don't zapped and all of a sudden you're there. Do you know how they actually physically go from the Middle
East, for example, Syria, and they show up in Arizona. How does that work? You know? Talking with Charles Marino, he is actually a former advisor for the Department of Homeland Security and needs now a national security advisor. And we were talking about this because again, forty percent of these
individuals was showing up in the Tuston sector. Right, you got nine sectors, so we're not talking about you know, when you when you when you spread it out, forty percent of those individuals coming through the southeast corner of Arizona is pretty wild. And so how did they get here and why the Tuthton sector. Well, the simple answer, Bill is the cartel controls who,
what, where, when and why is crossing the southern border. Your nuanced piece here is what Charles tells me that these individuals that will cross, they have to factor in what airports they can fly into, where they can actually get a ticket from whatever country they're flying out of, and who is
the individual in the middle that can help them orchestrate that. So there is a lot of pieces here that come into play before they end up walking across into Noballas, Arizona, and a lot of that is going to be determined on other people and the availability for those resources or those cartel members to move those individuals through the area, and the special interest countries are going to fetch a higher price, so they're going to likely pay more to get into the
country than someone from the northern triangle like Honduras or El Salvador. These individuals from these special interest countries are likely going to pay these smugglers a lot more to get in. And they are smugglers. Even though a lot of these individuals think they're kind of travel agents that are helping them, they're actually low level cartel employees that are working as smugglers to contribute to the thirteen dollars or
thirteen billion dollars a year industry that is a cartel. So that's in reality, they're going to control the southern border area. And they know right now that the two Sun sector is exploitable and vulnerable. And here's what else is wild Bill. You've got a lot of people that come here from Russia that will come through the open holes down here, but the vast majority are coming
through the ports of entry. And I ask why would they go through the ports of entry one they have a better chance kind of like slipping in. They say no, if they go and they actually apply and present themselves and they're kind of open about their identity. They know they have a better chance to get in legally, so to speak, through a port of entry. So a lot of Russian nationals are coming in through the port. So you're kind of seeing it all over the place, but it is certainly orchestrated and
absolutely controlled by the criminal cartel. So if there are terrorist groups and the list are long, whether it's ISIS or the Muslim Brotherhood or Hesbalah or Hamas or the Taliban or Boca Haram or al Qaeda, and to get a few terrorists from Syria or from Iran or from Iraq or whatever, you have to go through numerous other countries to get here. You need passports, you need visas, You got to fly, I don't know, there's no direct flights
from Tehran to Mexico City. You got to go through other countries. You need travel documents. That's where the big bucks come in to pay the cartel, and you use the number thirteen billion dollars known of the drug cartels are collecting more than a billion dollars a month, all of which is profits. So they bribe individuals all the way from Tehran, Iran to no Galas, Arizona, and then you fly somewhere in Mexico or the trilateral countries in Central
America. That's costing thousands and thousands of dollars travel documents. No, no citizen who happens to be in Beirut Lebanon says, you know what, I kind of want to go to Nogallas, Arizona. Let's go there. It doesn't And they're all unattached males. They don't come with wives, girlfriends and babies. What they come unattached. And some network below us is doing all
this for great profit, and one might say for what purpose? You know, and it's something that you don't even want to have to think or consider. You know, a lot of agents down here are worried about what could happen, you know, and they don't want to be right on that one. They don't want to be right that a terrorist attack could happen here, but they are concerned. You know, there is real concern down here. And you talk about Hezbela, and you know something that hasn't been talked about
enough probably is a stronghold that they also have in Venezuela. How they've been able to work with Maduro and really create a stronghold in Venezuela and make that into its own terror estate. And the vast majority of the individuals that are crossing into the country right now are from Venezuela. So I mean there's that piece as well. Last month we had sixty six thousand Venezuela nationals cross into
the country and that was more than what we saw from Mexico. And again, HEZBOLA is working very openly and freely in Venezuela right now, and we know that they are you know, Lebanon backed and Turian backed, and so that is a whole different piece to this puzzle. And so you know, it's hard build because we don't want to fear monger and we don't want to
stoke the flames and things. But we've been having the conversation for the last two and a half years of when border patrols not out on the border because they're too busy, what got through. It's important to can continue to have those conversations because we're in the middle of some unrest and so to say, and nefarious things can get through. Why would we stop having that conversation now
because we don't want to scare people. We need to continue having the same conversations we've been having because the reality is we don't know who the individuals are that are coming into our country. The administration can do a better job and should be doing a better job according to agents and knowing who these individuals are. Again, you know, Afghan nationals that are special interest that should be detained are being released with a notice peer on their own recognizance. They don't
even have a date. It show up when you when you feel like it scouts on there, okay, And so you've got to do something, you know, and if if this situation is going to continue under this administration, you have to figure out a way to make it work. And right now it's just not working for really anyone except for the cartel, big money, big profits. And when we began this interview by saying, well, one guy came over the fence and he had a backpack, and all of a
sudden, what's in the backpack? God only knows what's in the backpack. And they overwhelmed the system. It almost seems insoluble. It almost seems as if there's nothing we can do. We have to allow this to occur because it's some incompetence on our part or desire by the Biden administration not to enforce the nation's laws when it comes to illegal migration. And they're not migrants, they're illegals. And to think about the you gave me the number of one
hundred and seventy different nationalities. It takes tens of thousands of dollars to travel from wherever you are to get to the point of entering the country. And then you're in the middle of the desert as we speak this Thursday afternoon. Assuming they're got aways, you're in the middle of a desert in the Gallas. How do they get to wherever they want to go? Who's picking them up? And who's paying for that? Oh, it's a beautiful dance,
my friend. It's all orchestrated. So these individuals, they're going to get a pin drop of where they need to go. If they're the goadaways, right, not the self surrenderers. They're going to get a pin drop. And a US citizen that was recruited on social media is going to be on their way down to No Gallas, probably hanging out at the Safeway for a little while. They're going to get a pin drop as well, and that pin drop is going to take them right to the migrant. That's exactly how
it works. That person is usually from Phoenix. Sometimes they're coming in from Texas and Louisiana now, but the majority are US citizens that are smuggling individuals into the interior of the country. So they walk over, they get a pin drop. The US citizen gets a pin drop, picks them up, might get a thousand to five thousand dollars, depending on who the person is, spending on what the cartel wants to give them. Cartel's got the driver,
the US citizens driver's license and all their information. Now you know they're going to make them do it again. So it's bad. It's a vicious cycle, and it's all orchestrated by the cartel, and it is is all. You sit over here and you're like, how does this work? How do they just jump into the they just stayed off into the a bit, or they just the desert. They're gonna die. No, no, no,
it is so orchestrated. The smuggling guide drives them down here with an ATV and guide them down to the openings, and then they go back over to Mexico and send the group over here. And then you've got dataway's coming over the wall, you know, a mile down the way that are coming over here and linking up with a pin drop with a US citizen that's on the other side of the mountain. Like an Uber drive. It's like Uber
Uber Are you ever one thousand dollars in cash? Pick up this three people, pick up this person at this pin drop location, take them wherever, and you get one thousand dollars when you show up with them. Yep, exactly. And that's that's if they give you the money, because there's no contract. What are you gonna do, take the cartel the court. That's if they actually pay you what they say they're going to pay you. And again they've got your address, they know who you are too, if you
if you signed up to move people. So and they have the migrants information as well, you know. So once they get to their landing spot, they're gonna get money from point A to point B to point C and every way at every step along the way from there. So it's a very lucrative business. What's happening down here with these open holes in the border. All right, Ali Bradley. Sadly, it's always sad having you on. It's
always depressing, but it's always enjoyed it. It's always informational. But the idea that waiting for orders on these sleeper cells to attack, it's just I have other guests on that issue, and it's like, this is truly unbelievable in this country. No other country in the world would put up with us. And we're funding the drug cartels, we're funding human trafficking, we're funding sexual slavery, we're funding murders, we're funding drug use, We're funding the
worst people in the world and seemingly we're powerless to do anything. And I pray that's not the case. Ali Bradley of News Nation, You're the best there is at this and once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Ali, Thank you, Bill. I appreciate your time. Take care of yourself, my friend, same same to you. Thank you very much. All right, let's continue with more and there's the report live from the Border. What's happening this Thursday afternoon, It's happening
every day. How about in the first sixteen days of October, at least eighteen thousand known gotaways, and that doesn't count the ones you turn themselves in. Eighteen thousand in sixteen days. Bill Cunningham News Radio, seven hundred WW one eight seven, College Kids KA
