A Memorial Day Thank You to Our Troops plus an Exclusive One-on-One w Tom Homan

one about border security. But before we get to that, I do want to take a moment and for us to just say thank you to everyone that's ever served this country and to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice, and families that are listening right now, Memorial Day for them is a very somber day.

we say thank you to our active duty military. We say thank you to those who have served, and we should do that today and every other day, but Memorial Days set aside for those who gave the last full measure of demotion, the the ultimate sacrifice, those who stepped forward and gave their lives. And every liberty we have, every breath we breathe as free Americans is because men and women have answered the call. They've answered the call.

Going back to the Revolutionary War, to the War of eighteen twelve, going to the Civil War, World War One, World War II, going forward to Korea, to Vietnam, to the War on Terror. We have had service men and women for two hundred and fifty years stepping forward and saying America is worth fighting for, and I'm willing to die for America. And far too many of them have had to give that final sacrifice. And so I want to say I want to give a special shout out

to gold Star families. If you're a mom or dad, if you are a wife or husband, if you are a son or daughter of a service man or woman who gave their lives, let me just say thank you, We appreciate you, and let me tell you your loved one is not forgotten. The sacrifice that your loved one is given. We are grateful and we know our freedom is because of that sacrifice. Look Memorial Day is a great time. I hope you spend time with your kids, with your spouse. I hope you play in the backyard.

I hope you grill, although I do hope when you grill, you do a better job of grilling burgers than Chuck Schumer does. So do not put the cheese on raw burgers. That that is a sign been to that a messed up New Yorker who's never actually had a barbecue in his life. But for anyone that actually lives on planet Earth, have a great backyard barbecue, play with your kids, swim in the pool.

We also decided on this holiday that there was a really important interview that we had just done recently with Borders Are Tom Homan, and it was one that went viral, and if you missed it, we're going to play that for you today because it was such a important reminder of what is happening right now with our border and security and fighting to protect our kids from fetnyl and the drug trafficking and the human trafficking that's coming into

this country. And it was a really it was a really exciting interview that we just did.

November secure in the border. But I have to say, the magnitude, the speed, the scope of it defies any

reasonable expectation. And so this discussion with Tom Homan, many of you listened to it, and yet yet a whole lot of people didn't, And so we thought it was worth putting out a second time because because it's really powerful what's happening at the border, and it's something that the corporate media does not want to report, which is why this podcast is important, because we can get information out that ABC, CBS, NBC, C and NMSNBC will never

acknowledge exists. And that's the value of every one of our listeners. So let me say, listen to it, but also share it with your friends, your family, make sure they listen to it as well.

you a few numbers, just a few numbers. Under Biden administration, we were dealing with ten eleven thousand, even a few times, fifteen thousand aliens Today yesterday it was two hundred and eleven. We went from thirteen fourteen thousand to two hundred and eleven.

As you know, we want them to come here to testify in the Cargol trial. So form we want to command. Four came across the border in such bad shape that we had to call an ambulance and take care of the medical and each we had an allowment in decided to do medical treatment. But we had one one discretionary release compared to one hundred and eighty four or a thousand released under the same time period or in Biden.

Most Secure Border Historistination INTERI Enforcement Offerings ICE's arrested three times more criminals than Biden did during the same time period. We got more to rest, we got many more to rest. But they're already hitting the ball out of park and we're gonna keep doing it. We need to do more of it. And we're hoping for a budget real soon here so we can step up efforts there. But it's

it's game changing. President Trump's been a game changer, and men and women, vice and men women border stood up, tooking on the task and cousinent Trump did in seven weeks, but Joe Biden couldn't or wouldn't do in four years.

that's powerfully true. So let me ask just just a simple question for those Look, you're you're an immigr expert, but for someone at home, how did the numbers drop so precipitously, What specifically are y'all doing differently than what Joe Biden Kamala Harris did.

the languages, you shall be detained. Now maybe not thinking about it, not problem shall And that's exactly why we're doing. Those three things by themselves have been a major game changer, and all three of them were executive orders by President Trump's.

of the borderatral first of all. So the ball saves lives. So we need to finish the border barrier. We need money to finish the technology within the existing border wall, because not only did President buy and stop the construction of the wall, he stopped adding the technology in that smart wall. Technology that let's just know when someone climbs that wall, touch this wall, dig on under that wall.

Technology where borbitual agents in the middle of nowhere can get on the radio and use the wall as a repeater to talk to other agents for help. There are some places on the southern border where they lose all communications. So all that technology needs to be done. More technology, get port of entries to make sure no Ventana's coming through. And as far as the entire enforcement, we need beds. Right now, we got about fifty two thousand people in detention.

We're funder that thirty four thousand ICE is already in the hole. We need about one hundred thousand beds because everybody we arrest needs a bet. We just don't rest somebody in New York City and put them on a plane leave. We got to detain them for several days or several weeks to get travel doctrins, get flight flight arrangements,

flight finances. So we need bets. So we need you know, so this budget, that the depending budget right now, the big beautiful bill, will give us some money for those beds. They're going to give us thousands of more borgage license, thousands more ICE agents. It's going to give ICE a budget to bring in more contracts up. What I mean by that badges and guns shouldn't be sitting at a desk doing reports of processing. They shouldn't be sitting at a desk doing travel documents and all the all the

administrative duties that occur within ICE. You can have a contractor sitting there doing that work. Give that badging gun, get them out on the stree to arrest the public safety thrusts and national security threats. So we needed the money. Like I said, we're doing more than Biden did. But Biden wasn't doing anything. We need to do ten times more than buying it too, not three times more. And

I'll leave you with this. We got seven hundred thousand illegal aliens in this country with a criminal conviction walking the streets this country. We got it gain and we got to gain it quickly. We got one point four man illegal aliens who do have due process that great taxpayer expense. We're ordered removed by a federal judge and didn't leave and they become fusitives. We got a lot of work to do and we need money to do more. We're doing good, but more money we have, the more we can do well.

more fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. We're gonna have funding for more drones and more infra and technology. We are stepping in now. It's going to take a little bit of time to get the bill across the finish line, but I'm confident we'll do it. And i will say it really underscores something we've said on Verdict many times, which is the most important factor in securing the border. And this is what Tom said just a minute ago.

It is a policy decision, and it is a decision what happens when you apprehend an illegal immigrant.

Biden was doing. Again, they all have phones. They pick up the phone, they call their friends and family, and the numbers skyrocket.

a year. It won't even take six months. It will happen immediately because on day one, catch and release is going to end and we're going to see the numbers plummet. Now all that being said, Tom, let me ask you honestly, I will admit I predicted loudly that the numbers would plummet. I'll confess I didn't think they'd drop over ninety nine percent. Are you I'm surprised at just how massive the success is. Are Are you a little bit surprised or.

in seven weeks. Seven weeks, numbers already down yep, ninety. And you're exactly right. Everything you said was right. But I want to add one thing. When Joe Biden opened that border up, he's the first president in the history of this nation who came into office and unsecured a border on purpose. This wasn't mismanagement, this wasn't incompetence. He ran on open borders, and that's exactly what he did. You know, So when you tell the whole world enter

this country legally, don't worry about it. We're gonna release you anyways. And when you got a secretary of ma orkerst on ice, you can't arrest somebody for being here illegally unless they got a serious criminal conviction. The whole world's going to come. You can cross the border illegally, you get released in twenty four hours. We won't give you a free plane ticket to the city of your choice. We're going to put you in a free hotel room.

We're going to give you three meals a day, We're going to give you free medical attention, and guess what, hang out for one hundred and twenty days. We're going to give you a work ass position. The very reason they came hery not because of film, because they wanted a job. So Biden did what he did, I'm purposed, and President Trump came back in seven weeks again seven weeks did what Joe Biden couldn't do or wouldn't do.

as well as I do. I knew every morning when I woke up, how many children died acrossing the borders last night, how many women got sexually assaulted, how many people on terrace Roster's got across the border, how many women and children were sex trafficking this country. How many billions of dollars in the cartels make how many Americans died in the last twenty four hours from Fetanah coming across the open border. For four years, I was pissed off.

President Trump came back, like I said, in seven weeks, we had a border down ninety percent in seven weeks, So you know, like you said, it was matter of president, the matter of enforce the law. You know, I'll tell you it's in a cruise. And you know, every time I see in the meeting, every time I see you in the meeting, I call you out, I call you off because you've been a tip of the speer on

this thing. I appreciate your working us. You're from Texas, you know, and God bless Governor Abbit and Governor Abbitt did he was more of a Secretary of Homeland Security moral we've ever been orherever thought of being, so, God blessed date of Texas. They took the first rail on this and again, I can't thank you enough. Every time I see I call you out, thank you for being

the tip of the spear. I see you everywhere wanting the secure border, and you're fighting hard for me, and you're fighting hard for the men and women the border toe you're fighting hard for the men and women of Ice. I love each and every one of those men to put their live line for this country every day, men and women, and I appreciate your fight for them. You've had their six and day one and I love you for it. I appreciate it.

didn't murder them. There are women who have not been raped because you've stopped the Biden practice of releasing rapists. There are children, and the number of children who haven't been physically and sexually assaulted by human traffickers it is already I think, well into the thousands. And I want you to think about that. Thousands of little girls, thousands of little boys have not been violently, repeatedly raped by human traffickers.

We've already found over seventy five hundred of them. Wow, someone were firfte, safe with family, Some were perfectly safe, and some weren't. Example, just there for yes, say a fourteen year old little girl already sex traffic was pregnant, living with two men who are trafficking there where they're going to prison, and we're helping that little girl. So we're going to rescue every one of these little girls and make sure that they're safe. Because many of them

are going to be okay with family members. They just didn't respond to followings or so forth. But many, I guarantee, I've been doing this for over forty years. Many of them are in sex trafficking, many of them are in forced labor, living a life of hell every day. We're committed to find every one of these little children and making sure they're safe.

it certainly puts the community at risk. It even puts the alien at risk because anything can happen during the street arrest, and great it puts the officers that great risk because now we've got to arrest a criminal alien public safety threat on his turf, we as access to who knows what weapons. It's very dangerous and natural host sanctuary cities accountable. Fan Bindy has already fought lawsuits against several were we're working with DJ now again. We want

we want where's that right? Where's that where's that line? When do you cross that line? You can sit there and watch ICE do your job. Because here's what irritates me the most. I don't care what party you're in. If you're an elected mayor, elect, a city council person, or elected governor, your number one responsibility it's the safety and security of your neighborhoods, your communities. ICE has been clear from the beginning with President Trump, we're going to

prioritize public safety threats and national security threats. Why will you not help us make your community safer? There's no downside on that. And the sanctuary city is want to argue what we're a sanctuary city because we want victims and witnesses of crime, if they're illegally United States, to feel comfortable coming to the law enforcement without fear of work with ICE. That is a bunch of crap. Victims and witnesses of crime don't want the bad guy in

the neighborhood either. And as far as the illegal alien community. I'll say this, despite being here illegally, many of them are god fearing family people. They don't want a prester in they neighborhood either. They don't want someone convict to duy ten times driving to their neighborhood either. So you know, if you go to the immigrant community and ask one simple question, would you rather have ICE operating in the jail or in your community? What do you think they're

going to say. They're gonna say to jail, so sanctuousities will be held accountable. Matter of fact, we're reissuing the ICE detainer. We just changed the new ICE detainer. We're letting them black and white. Let them know this person is a designated terrorist, this person is a designated return felin. We're gonna let them know exactly who do detaining based on biographic and biometric information and see what they do. Are they gonna violate relations and Riley Act, Then we'll

go out to prosecution. Now they're going to know at least a terrorist. Then we're going to go out to prosecution. So it's about to get a lot tougher and it's the right thing to do.

you know, child traffickers. Some of these are Karen Fatina, and some of these are going to be people from a terrort sponsored country. Under Joe Biden, we wrest over four hundred people on terrass wass's come in the Southwest border. If you don't think a single one of the two man gudaways didn't come from a country sponsoring terror, didn't come here to do us harm, then you're just crazy.

As you know it was what was it? Just not a few months ago we arrested eight that were planting a terrorist tack, a Russian type terrorist tack in the United States. Luckily, he tell us, the community call him on some chair and we are able to arrest them. But we're not perfect an intelligence community. It's imperfect. They weren't perfect in Afghanistan. They weren't perfect on a lot of things. So God help us. I think they're here, just intelligent port stander here. We know where some aren't

being monitored, but we don't know where others are. So that scares the hell on me.

Tommy you said that was really important. Of the twelve million illegal immigrants that came under Joe Biden. Roughly two million of those were god aways. That's by far the most troubling of all those folks. The other ten million are people were apprehended, and apprehended in many instances is the wrong term, because as you know, and I've spent a lot of time down on the southern border, I almost always go out on midnight patrol with the border

patrol agents when I'm there. Apprehended doesn't even characterize what they were doing. Most nights, people would cross the border and they'd go look for a border patrol agent and actively turn themselves in because the result would be that Joe Biden would say where do you want to go? And would fly them to wherever they wanted to be. Literally, the Biden administration was the last mile of the human trafficking network. But Tom, what you said is exactly right.

Those two million guidaways are much more likely to be violent criminals, much more likely to be murderers or rapists or child molesters, much more likely to be MS thirteen gang members, much more likely to be terrorist. And that's the population that is most worrisome. And speaking of MS thirteen gang members, just when I thought politics could not

get weirder. Democrats have decided to go all in, making their central party platform be that we should admit more illegal aliens, and in particular, we want more Venezuelan gang members MS thirteen gang members here, and they decided that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is their poster child for the Democrat Party. Tom, how confident tell us about Brego Garcia? How confident are you that he's a gang member, that he's a criminal.

and hundreds of hours were spent on every case. They went to the criminal history, the immigration history, They went to intelligence report, they went to confidential performance statements, they went to wire taps, they went to a bunch of stuff to certify these people were members of TVA and MS thirteen, so they got due process several times. Obrego Garcia's home. He's a citizen Al Salvador. And for those the Democrats said, well, they made a mistake. I still

say it was a mistake. It was an over temporary Oversecond, here's the problem he had it withholding order, did not returned to Al Salvador because he feared death from the gang. Two things have changed since that order was given. Number one, he's a designated terror so that with holding order has been set aside. Number two, the gang he feared it no longer exists now Salvador because the great work President Buketi did there. So the circumstances surround that with holding

order are no longer valid. And here's what would happened. If somebody was to make this guy return to the United States, he would be detained and removed the next day, if not to Al Salvador, to another country. He's not here, but as President Boukeley said, he is a pre certified national of Al Salvador. He is home. He is home. He is a certified Heminister team member, not just by

ice by local police departments. Intelligience Reports, Immigration judges in the country of al Salvador says he's emis thirty team member. He's home is exactly where he should be. This country, his wife, his neighborhood is a lot safer because he's locked up.

Over four thousand, or record number of Americans died from Fatanah that come across that open border, and and it's just what he what he calls this country and from a national securities perspective, because here's what his orders were, process quick, release quick. They didn't care about the crisis. They cared about the optics of the crisis. If there's no overcrowding, there's nothing to see here. So border trades were processed as quick as they could, and releases a

quick as they could. And there's been several instances where they released so quickly the FBI scan didn't come back and and it came back hot. Actually they already been released. They came back hot. As a known spectatorian, So yeah, what he did was uncomfortable. What he did is my opinion borderline in treason is he should be held accountable

because a lot of deaths occurred under his watch. And like, like Sundra Cruz said a few minutes ago, right now, ninety six percent decline and illegal immigration when ninety six percent less people are coming, how many women aren't being raped, how many children aren't dying crossing a border, how many no inspected terarists aren't getting in the country. How many

pounds of fatanyl is not getting a country? What are you going to see in the President Trump's administration, vatanyl deaths with decrease, sex trafficking with decrease, smuggling with decrease, and no inspected tarors. They got no open n anymore. Now that we got the board secure, every single Borders religion is on the lying on patrol. During his National Security duty under Joe Biden, it was an average most days, an average seventy percent seven zero seventy percent of agents

were no longer on patrol. They were changing diapers, making baby formula, making hospital runs. The last time aren't down there. Before the election, I talked to hundreds of board plays and told me to hang on, hang on, changes coming. I really think President Trump's going to win. But they told me no, we're sick of being tour station. We're sick of being uber drivers. We process and delivered these people, that is the very same people who pay for their smuggling.

They couldn't recruit. They couldn't people were quitting. They were quickly for it, even as well for retirement. They couldn't re recruiting numbers. You know, last month Ice I'm excusing Bord Patrol had the highst recruiting numbers and the history of that agency just last month.

that's what you sign up in the job. And they were sitting there just shuffling paperwork, they were processing and just running a revolving door to try to release as many illegal immigrants.

reported by states. You got a number of deaths reported by CDC. None of them match. So, but we do know there's been a reduction. You don't see you know, three hundred people dying every day from fantolic We did that, did see right? We know we don't have two, you know, nine to elevens a week happening from kid dying from Patanah. So I don't have exact numbers, but we already see the effects of a secure boarder.

hundred percent increase. Do we have any data yet, Do you have any visibility on what has happened to the drug cartel's revenue because one of the worst consequences of what Biden's open border did is is it turned these vicious, murderous, transnational criminal organizations into incredibly wealthy powerhouses and it put huge resources in their pockets. Do do you have any data on what's happened to their revenues?

and a record amount of money moving dope across that border. Now, with the board secure, we're hitting them where it hurts. Smugglings down, both drugs and people trafficking is down, So we're hitting the where it hurts. That's why the latest intelligence force I see they're trying to produce and push more fatanol into Asian European nations because their market here

in the United States has been so brutally attacked. I wish what would happen is that Mexico would agree with President Trump to let us help them take the cartels and wipe them off the face of the ears. Because right now they're like the holicical cartel. They're in forty four countries around the globe. They're like a fortune five hundred company. It's going to take the United States to take them on. Mexico's failed for decades to do it, and a lot of mech showing the military, police and

government presses are corrupt. I'll say this, a lot of the corruption is force corruption. Because you're a police officer in Mexico. You're making you know, four hundred dollars a month. But a Mexican tartel comes up and i'llsly ten thousand looks the other way, and you're going to take it? Are they going to kill you and your family? I think Mexico will be a much safer and much prosper more prosperous country if they let President Trump help them lepe the cartels off the face of the ear.

kidnapping rate rate. I visited with with a Mexican mayor of a town on the other side of the border. And I'm not going to say which mayor because he told me in confidence because he was afraid, but he said in his town they had had over three thousand disappearances, just people Mexican nationals living in Mexico who just ran a foul of the cartel and they just disappear, and they find mass graves and and the suffering and murder

and kidnapping. That that that that has happened in Mexico because of the Democrats political decision I think was cruel and horrible. And and Tom, you're exactly right that that the US military can take out the cartels.

physical assault and no charges were brought. How important is it that these charges were brought?

can't cross the line of impediment. That's a felony. You can't cross the line on noially and harboring concealing the able to go amless mice, that's a felony. You certainly can't commit criminal trespasses at our facilities. And for God's sake, you can't put hands on i ICE officers. And this happened during the same time frame. The same week I went to Blue Mass in Washington, D C. And remembrance of the men and women in law enforce and put their lives on the lines of this country every day.

So we spend a week just just just praising these men and women, talking to their families who also paid the ultimate sacrifice. They lost the loved one forever children lost their fathers and mothers, and mothers and fathers lost their sons and daughters in the same week we're supposed to be honor in law enforcement. You got some of the member coundress put their hands in shoving an ice officer, which makes that facility very unsafe. And I'm sick and

tired of hearing what we have congression oversight responsibilities. There is a right way and wrong way to do it. You don't force your way in the facility. You don't put hands on an officer. We do oversight all the time. And what are they finding out as people are getting tours in that facility that they have the highest detention standards in the industry, and it puts every every other UH detention center in jail in the state of New Jersey, whether it is a county or state. It puts them

to shame because our detention standards are so high. So when you go and calls that kind of practice, where we're trying to maintain a facility with very dangerous people inside, we got to protect not only the criminals, we got to protect the employees and the citizens on the outside. What she did was just horrendous she she put hands on an officer. Like they said for four years, no one's above the law. You're damn right. They're not above

the law, even members of Congress. The president is above the law, but these are members of Congress.

a great American. We have roughly a million unique listeners who listened to Verdict, and I want to say, on behalf of all of them, and on behalf of thirty one million Texans, thank you for what you are doing. You are keeping my children safer, and Tom, I am grateful you are on that front line for us, and you and President Trump are making a massive difference for the entire country.

At three o'clock this morning, when everybody is sleeping, me and Sender is sleeping. At three am this morning, there's borbite lace and standing on a dirt trail someplace going to take something on. They don't know if it's just an illegal alien or heavily armed drug smunker. They're going to take it on in the nearest back of us, miles away. God bless the men and women of borbetow God best and the women the vice, and God bless this great nation. We're taking it.
