Tom Homan’s Plan to Destroy the Cartel Empire, End Child Trafficking, and Secure the Border for Good
So you're pretty much the first. person Trump chose after he got. elected, I think was the end of that. week, right? Yeah, I believe I was. Can you summarize in one sentence. what you plan to do with the job? Well, look, we had a discussion that. night and. He gave me three rails, three. things he wants me to do. Number one, to secure the border. Yeah. Shut the border down. Number two, run the biggest. deportation operation this. country has ever seen. And third, he wants me.
to lead an effort to find. the over 300,000 missing children. that were trafficking to this. country. And this administration. could not locate them.
So seal the border, deport the illegals. Find the missing children. 300,000. Yes. Let's go in order. Seal the border. How? What is happened? Do you have a sense? Now, over a month after. Trump's victory of just how big. the invasion was under Biden. Do we know? Well, we know that we. can document over 10 million. accounts, 10.5 that we can document. Then we can document over two men. got away. So these are known guy two. ways. What is a known guy? The way these are people we we.
captured capture an image. on drone video. Is that in addition to the ten? Yeah. So? So at least 12 million. people. Have an encounter at a border. 10.5 men encountered over. to get it. We got it. We know there are got away because. we capture on drone traffic, video. traffic or sensor traffic in Borg. crossover one that can respond. So we know at least 12.5. million people at that border.
So that's like. that's like New York plus Chicago. It's a historic number, which. is one of the reasons why I. wake up pissed off every day because. we went for the most secure border. in my lifetime. I started in 1984. as Board George. I worked for six. presidents. Where did you start? By the way, I was born and raised in. Camp California. San Diego Sector. Yeah. But to go from the most secure. border in my lifetime on to. President Trump based on data. Right. That's just my opinion. As data go for the more secure.
border in my lifetime, two historic. illegal immigration and one. administration that's. by design has done mismanagement. Yes, by design. What do you think the goal was. here? I asked a lot of you why would. anybody open the border up? I think Joe Biden, the first. president in American history who. came in office and unsecure the. border. I worked for six presidents. Obama and Clinton took steps to. secure the border. And I understand you can't possibly. There's no way you can have strong. national security on border.
security. Need to know what's coming. and who's coming in, where it's. coming and why it's coming. And Joe Biden's. first president came into office and. unsecure the border. And people asked me all the time why. I think they see a future political. benefit. I think they think these. people would be future Democratic. voters, number one, too. But we don't even have to get there. Right, Tucker? I mean, when when. Biden signed over 90 executive. orders getting rid of everything we. did, he also returned. to Trump Census Room, where millions. of illegal aliens be counted and all. these sanctuary cities, which is.
going to result more seats in house. for the Dems are the re re. proportionate seats in house. Can that be undone? Yeah. I think President Trump needs. to when he gets back in, when he. needs to establish the other centers. rule. Illegal aliens should not be. counted. The census. Well, yeah, because illegal foreign. citizens, non-Americans should not. be able to determine. how many members of Congress we have. and where they set. Exactly. I think President Trump will. reinstitute the. game changing policies he.
had during the first administration. so we can secure the border. We did it before. This time we're going to finish the. job. How many came through Canada? Do you know? I don't have the top of my head, but. I know the number. Depending on what sector you look. at, is 600 to 800%. increase on the northern border. Specifically in upstate New York, where I grew up, and I used to have. a home up there. So I'm very. familiar with that area. And I talked to Border Patrol chiefs. up there all the time. Northern New York has. a huge problem. And the.
problem with northern border. A lot of SARS come through the. northern border. They can afford to fly to Canada. across the northern border, which is. wide open because of a lot. of border and very few agents. So a lot of Indians, a lot of. Pakistani, a lot of Turkey, Turkish. come through the northern border. I mean, who organized this? You say it was by design. There are a lot of NGOs. involved. The United Nations is. involved, a bunch of religious.
charities, pretty evil religious. charities, in my opinion, involved. in this. But they seem to be coordinating. with one another. What do we understand exactly what. happened? You know, we're still looking into I. think under the Trump administration. needs to be investigation and what. happened, who was involved. I know I've had numerous. conversation with Mark Green, who is. the chairman of Homeland Oversight. He plans on some oversight hearings. on this every when it relates to the. NGOs. And I think they were complicit in a. lot of this illegal immigration.
And certainly United Nations, where. we're south of our border, working. on this global illegal. immigration to United States. So I'm counting on. the new Congress, which we now have. control of both the House and the. Senate, to conduct oversight. hearings and hold people. accountable. There is no way again, there's no. way this is mismanagement or. incompetence. This is by design. And do I think Joe Biden had the. expertise to do it? No, I think someone's point his. strength. So this is something he'd. be fully investigated and people. need be held accountable because.
Well, they need to go wreck the. country. They need to go to prison. They created the biggest national. security vulnerability this nation. has ever seen. We got a record number of people on. terrorist watch list being arrested. We've got 2.2 million people. And this is my biggest issue I. brought up the last two years. It's just not about illegal. immigration anymore. You cause a crisis this big. The overwhelmed the Border Patrol, where many times 70%. of agents were pulled off the line. dealing with humanitarian crises. Right. Changing diapers, making baby. formula, making hospital runs, doing. that humanitarian.
mission, leaving. 30% of our homeland security. officials left securing the border. There was times in the last two. years where 100%, 100%. of border police were pulled off. line, such as in El Paso, because when they when they got. overcrowded, this administration. said, wait, we can have. overcrowding. That's a bad optic. So let's pull every agent off the. line process as quick as possible, release as quick as possible, because there's no overcrowding. There's nothing to see here. The border so secure.
So when you when you. over on board, Joe, that's one of. the bad things happened. That's when. we got 2.2 main gateways, right? That's when the fentanyl comes. across to kill a quarter million. Americans. That's that's why sex. trafficking of women and children is. up six, 10%. That's why the number of migrant. deaths is. at a historic high. So this whether. people call this innocent illegal. immigration crisis. made a lot of bad things happen. because the borders are strictly. overwhelmed to do. The national security. Changed the culture of the United.
States, which is worse than any of. the things that you and more. permanent than any of the things you. listed. You can't run in and change. people's ancient culture. Been here for 250 years. You can't do that. No. It's the worst crime ever. committed against the U.S.. Worse than the Civil War, in my. opinion. So but the question. is, like, who did this and why? So the United Nations, we pay the. largest share of the U.N. budget. Well, you know, we should have some ability to. control what the U.N. does, but they commit this act of. war against us.
Do we know who did at the. U.N. and why? I do. Nabarro Something that I. believe we should be investigated. I'm pushing people. I'm coming to. the administration with it. We need investigate it. Again, I've talked to numerous. representation on the Hill that. swear they're going to have. hearings on this. And we need to the American people. need to know exactly what happened, who was responsible. Do you think that? The fentanyl traffickers.
known as the cartels. I guess I'm not exactly sure what. that means. I would like to ask you, actually, but you keep. reading and hearing that they have. control of parts of the southwestern. United States. First of all, what is a cartel? Who are they? Where are they from? And do you think that's true? Well, criminal cartels in Mexico, they are born out of the narcotics. smuggling industry. in Mexico. And they're powerful, like they're like a Fortune 500. company. Yes. This is not a gang anymore, right? Yeah. At least four cartels is.
there in over 45 countries of. the world. Right. And now are the responsible for. moving narcotics in this country? There are also there are currently. and in every major city, the United. States, because not only are these. smuggling, the drugs in the United. States are taken over to. distribution within the United. States. Right. So, again, and I said this at the RNC. and and President Trump agrees. with me. These criminal cartels have. killed more Americans and every. terrorist organization in the world. combined. Right. In every war that was more.
than Second World War. So that's why they need to be. designated terrorist organizations. and wiped off the face of the earth. And it's going to take the United. States to do what Mexico has failed. to do it, even if they tried to do. it. Bottom line is, much of the Mexican. military, much, much of the Mexican. law enforcement, much of the Mexican. government is corrupt. That's just a fact. Well, then why? Okay. So I notice that the incoming. administration just basically. toppled the prime minister of. Canada, was a thoroughly evil person. called Justin Trudeau. And by just by threatening tariffs, they kind of fix the Canada problem.
Trump fixed it in about, I don't. know, 20 minutes. But how much more leverage do we. have over Mexico? I mean, we're the entire economy of. Mexico. Why don't we do that with Mexico? Well, we are. President Trump has. threatened tariffs and she the. president seems seems. to say she's going. to help. We'll see if her actions. match your words. But Trump has a lot of power over. Mexico, like the tariffs alone. Mexico needs us more than we need. them, right? Hey, look, I'm not saying every cop, every soldier, every politician in.
Mexico is corrupt, but many are. That's just a fact. When I was ice director, we had. vetted units. We worked with a. law enforcement down there. We vetted them so we can work with. them. But we didn't even tell the. vetted units everything we know. because we just couldn't be sure. Right. But protocol has a lot of leverage. Remember when I when I became. Borgias in 1984, my one of. my first assignments, either. candidate was protecting a port of. entry to Katy, California, because we had a DEA agent. that was tortured and murdered. Keith Cameron, I think. I remember very well. And they wouldn't help us to.
identify and turn over the people. responsible. Ronald Reagan shut down the port of. entries. And we're taking two days and all of. a sudden we know who will commit a. crime. And so President Trump can. obviously do that. He can end all the visas. and the tourist visas. The business visas. There's a lot of power has almost. killed any need. President Trump is willing to do. whatever it takes to protect our. sovereignty and protect this. country. And he's ready to do it. He proved the first time he owned a. Remain in Mexico program, Max, when. they want to do that Thursday, Qatar.
game is masculine one two, that. they don't want to put 10,000. military on their on their border. where President Trump threatened. them with tariffs and they came to. the table. There are so many nice Mexican. people. I mean, most Mexican people I've. met, I really like that we forget. that the government's very. anti-American is not our ally in any. sense. We spend all this energy being mad. at Assad, whoever. Who cares? And we live next to this country. that's helping to kill hundreds of. thousands of Americans every year. No one ever says anything about it. Don't. Do you think it would be.
worth shifting some of that. emotional energy and military. resources to, like countries. right next to us who are hurting us? I'm 100% with you, and that's why. I've been pushing for. Mexico to come to the table and be. accountable. It's against the law in Mexico to. traffic in women and children. But they don't do anything about it. It's against the law in Mexico to. transit through that country. every year from another country. Well, trains are busy, but they. allow it. I mean, look at the beast, the big. train that thousands of people came. every week and they didn't do.
anything. I told President Trump. going after that had put a stop to. it. I mean, but the good thing is a. lot of countries are willing to come. to the table right now. Mexico said they're going to let's. see what they do. I'll be deeply. involved, those conversations. Panama. Panama wants to come to the table. and help the United States secure. our border by shutting down a dairy. gap. This administration said they're. going to do it. Secretary American. said he was going to do it. Panama never got any funding to do. it. They never get anything done. with with this administration. They're coming to the table again. We were shut down during GATT, but. please help us. We will help them.
during Gap. Shutting the dairy gap down be a. huge game changer and illegal. migration to this country. But again, given the economic. leverage the United States has, that shouldn't take more than a. weekend. Right. And you got pretty quick. I mean, we're going to we're going. to come to the table. What we need. Mexico to do will remain in Mexico. program, a game changer that needs. to happen quickly. That was a game changer because. after about two months, they stopped coming.
They stopped coming because they. knew they weren't being released. into the United States. to not show up in court. And if they show up in court, no one's looking to remove them, because under this administration, Ice can't arrest somebody for simply. being illegal. The United States, two Americas made that clear. They got to have a criminal. conviction before ice cream and look. at them even though they're. illegally here. So they remain in Mexico. The game where they stop coming, they stop selling. everything they had given the. cartels every dollar they had. to come to United States to be. released When the remaining Mexican.
program came in about or came into. place, they stopped coming. when they stopped coming. Look, the lives that were saved. Look at the money that was saved. If someone is really escaping fear. and persecution from their homeland, from their government, home. government, if they're really. skating and persecution, they're. going to be willing to wait in. Mexico for the hearing. But most of them, no. But why would the U.S. take anybody who's I mean, why. is it our job, given. our appalling track record around. the world of trying to make things. better? You make them worse. Because the world's super.
complicated. Why do we have an obligation to take. anybody from any wherever? I don't really get. Where does that. come from? Well, that was the genius of the. Remain in Mexico program, Rick. President Trump, I remember sitting. your Oval Office when they were. talking about this and I was trying. to explain to him and he understood. clearly what the whole situation. or situation or asylum is. I tell him that if you look at the. data, immigration court data. About nine out of ten people will. claim asylum at our border. Never get relief from the US.
government because they simply don't. qualify. They don't show up in court. Then look at the Homeland Security. Lifecycle Report. A report of the Homeland. Security. For instance, family units for those. that were ordered removed. Only 6% leave. So I explain to President Trump, nine out of ten don't even have a. valid claim. When that nine I take his order. removed, 6% leave. He says that, you know, he didn't. take them long to Why the hell are. we doing this? Yeah. So let's not let them and. let's have a Remain in Mexico. program. If you really can't confirm.
persecution, await mation. if you win your case, which are very. few welcome to United States. But if we don't win your case, we. don't have to find you. And we're not. This measures all of. the catch and release so people keep. coming knowing they're going to. release nine states at the same. time, knowing when they lose your. case, no one's looking to remove. them. Their whole dynamic won't. change. Yes, right. Because I've said. I've been real clear since they. President Trump appointed me. If you're in the country illegally, you've got a problem, right? If you don't take the judge's order.
to immigration court when you. ordered you removed, he gets a. deportation officer deportation. order. If we don't execute those orders, then what the hell are we doing? Shut down immigration court. It doesn't don't mean anything. anymore. Take the border off the. border because there's no consequences. for entering this country illegally. We'll give you due process. But when you're ordered removed, you're going to be removed. Or if we don't, we send a message to. the whole world. You can enter the. country legally where there's a. crime. You can see a judge or not see a. judge get an order removal north. looking for you. And that's what the Democrats are.
doing for this administration. They have overwhelmed the system, releasing millions to this country. Immigration, the court docket push. back seven maybe as much as nine. years like in New York. By that time, when they get order. removal, they got 2 or 3 U.S. kids right there. Everybody's complaining you can't. remove that guy. He's got three U.S. kids. When I was ice director, I got. calls from Republican senators. Why did you remove that person? He has two U.S. children. Well, he didn't have to. You see, children enter country. illegally. He didn't have two years. He calls, for example, consented.
Absolutely. The worst. And I said I said, well. What's my option? He had due process at great taxpayer. expense. He was already moved by. federal judge. The option is a slight mistake. And if we're going to do that, how. many more you want to stay there? We've got to send a clear message. We're a nation of laws. You get order moving on to be. removed. If not, we send a message. to the whole world. Enter illegally commit a crime. Go. Have yourself a child. and you're out of luck. As an American, you ought to expect. and demand freedom and.
privacy those your birth rights. But big tech conglomerates. working hand in glove with the. government are denying you those. rights.

Is there any way to move millions. of Haitians into. rich, white liberal neighborhoods? Sure. I mean it. I mean, the people who did this. are rich white liberals in the. United States who hate themselves in. the country. And to punish it, they invited all these people. illegally from failed countries, but. then can't stand the idea of living. near these people because they're racist. So why wouldn't you move every. Haitian to Bethesda and. Brookline and Aspen and Martha's. Vineyard and Nantucket like today? Can we do that? I will donate money.
if we can do that. We absolutely did. With the Martha's Vineyard. Did they put America right? You know, this whole thing. Pops immediately because a racist. Governor Abbott done more to secure. the border than anybody in this. administration. Guys, great distances the same. Do you know who first came up with. the idea of bussing people sanctuary. cities? It was President Trump. I remember sitting in the Oval. Office one time. He said, Why don't. we do that? So we started putting plans. together. But the remaining Mexico program was. such a game changer. We couldn't filibuster if we wanted. to. So we beat this.
We beat the problem before we. actually got to that. That was really the. Problem, though, is that the people. doing it didn't have a precise. enough understanding of rich, white. liberal culture. But I do. So they would bus them to New York. Then they want to put Midtown in. Queens. Okay. None of the people who are doing. this were affected by it. But I could give you a list of zip. codes where, like Tony Blinken lives. and stuff like that, because I know. that world. They need to be moved into. the neighborhoods of the people. who are calling you racist for. wanting to have laws and borders.
like they need to feel the effects. of their own destruction. So just text me and I will send you. the zip codes. I mean, it do. Because what happened is they open. the borders and then all these. people like, move to Jackson, Wyoming, to the least diverse zip. codes in the in the country. They literally ran to the hills. to get away from diversity. I think we. Need to add to that, though. The the the. senators and congressmen are pushing. back and more and more scary. 100%, you. Know, moving illegal aliens. right outside of the vice president,
Kamala Harris's residence. That was a game changer to us. So I think not only not only those. who are well-financed, how about the politicians who are. pushing back against any any form of. enforcement of our border wall? Well, that's why Bernie Sanders. needs a ton of Haitians in Vermont, because it it's just it's. appallingly it's blindingly white. It needs to change. I couldn't agree more. So back to the cartel question. I don't I don't know that much about. it, but I keep hearing, I think. informed people say, man, you know, parts of New Mexico, Arizona,
California, even. Florida, Texas are you. know, there is real control. by these cartels in the way that. they control Mexico. I mean, they're basically a state. within a state with their own army. and armored personnel carriers and. tanks and like, you know. Do you think that's real? Do you think they have that kind of. beachhead here? Absolutely. As I said earlier, they're like a Fortune 500 company. They're well-financed, pretty. versatile in their in their funding. And like I've.
seen a lot of intelligence report. that they they have access to. military grade weapons. So take the Mexican military out of. Mexico. Law enforcement. They do all the time. And it's just not my opinion. that they have control operations. Yes, we're southwest border. And I've talked to two patrol. agents who agree with me. They've lost operational control of. southwest border. Why don't you patrol agent use the. term Broken arrow? How is on a phone the one time it. was time. I can't contain what's. coming across. I'm looking to catch. the 10% of the criminal cartels.
Knowing that they've paid this. administration causes huge. humanitarian crisis and overwhelm. the border, which, as we discussed. earlier, and whatever assets is. left on the border, let them patrol. their criminal cartels. You think 100 family units or 200. family unit shop accidentally at the. same place? I, I certain time? No, the cartels control that, right. They'll send a group to one area. knowing whatever left on the border. was seized to that humanitarian. crisis. Right. They had to go a deal that they. create gaps in the system. That's when they move the fat. And all this killed a quarter.
million Americans. That's why sex trafficking is up. 600%. The cartels, they create gaps. in our system and that's where. they operate. And for the Democratic. or Democratic representatives up on. the Hill said we're more straight. And I promise you, the port of. entry, that's that's as much. garbage, most fattening as. it sees at the port of entry, because every vehicle stopped in. And based on that CBP targeting. system, which is law enforcement. sensitive and based on. the responses to the questions,
chances are they get secondary. They'll find some things between the. port of entry where. every touch in 10%. Yeah. So if I'm a criminal cartel, I'm going to use a role of least. resistance. I know my vehicles when. we stop at port of entry will be. secondary. That I don't know. But between the port of entry where. 70% of the agents are off the line, that's where I'm from with my. product. I mean, it's not. Rockets just right over the open. border. Is absolutely. So I. I know I'm jumping around, but I was. too many questions for you. I read in the. last three days, it's hard to.
believe this could be true that the. Biden administration auctioned off. portions of the unfinished border. wall at bargain basement prices. Is that true? Yes. I actually had a conversation. with Senator Lindsey Graham two days. ago. Someone needs to take some action. because this is this is. products that the taxpayers already. paid for and they're going to. auction off. And now, you know, Texas talk about. buying a bag. Shouldn't have to buy it back. We bought it once before. Right. This administration's out there. and, you know, a couple more weeks. Why would they continue to.
set us up for failure? That's what they're trying to do. Right? By President Biden signing. all these activities. And when I saw the border product, I. thought the American people on. Election Day gave this country clear. mandate. They want a secure border. This administration will stop it. They won't stop at anything to slow. us down. It's not going to slow us down. We're going to get that border wall. finished by the. mere stupidity. of some of this stuff and pennies on. the dollar. Every taxpayer should be. What's the next step toward the.
country? Of course. Well, you know, I've said. many times they hate Trump more than. they love the country for sure. And I think they hate the country. more than I hate Trump. Even he represents the country to. them, the old country that they. tried to change with immigration. Do you know my caucus? I know him. Well. How would you assess him? I used to respect them. under President Obama. I got I got a presidential record. under President Obama because I. oversaw the removal of,
you know, well over a million. aliens during that three year. period. My work is actually a company me. on operations in New York City. targeting. criminal aliens and illegal aliens. both. Jay Johnson approved the family. operation. You know, a lot of families are. coming across during the Obama. administration. I told Jay, just look. Nine out of ten, these families. going to be ordered removed. I'm going to remove them.
He said absolutely. Jay Johnson stood by that. Ali Mayorkas, Alejandro Mayorkas. went on operation with us. He back me up on a lot. The only the main thing we disagreed. on is the transgender policy, where. he wanted special treatment for. transgenders in Ice detention. I was ordered to sign that policy. And what kind of special treatment? Making sure. Their. Their identified as being the. transgender that are protected in. our facilities and you know, go separated and and. get medical attention was hormone.
therapy or whatever it was and. Which he wanted the US government to. pay for hormone therapy. And we got a huge argument over. that. And I was ordered to sign a. memo and that's working and we're. had a falling out. But do you have any why would he. want I mean, first of all, how many. transsexual illegal aliens. are there? You'd be surprised how many we run. across. And they just, you know, they want. to certain protections for our. facilities. Well, Alejandro Mayorkas went and. operation with me.
He shook hands with officers who are. a force in immigration law. I remember we went to New York City. on a huge operation, arrest a lot of. illegal aliens. And when he was nominated to be. secretary, I thought, okay, we're in. the middle of this crisis again, right? He knows how we stopped it. We started by building detention. facilities, including family. residential centers and the. so-called so called cages. Right. He knew how we started. We started by building more. detention facilities, detaining. people, making them have a hearing. Because if you're in detention, you. have a hearing within like 35 days. Nine out of ten last we put on an.
airplane, sent him home and board. numbers tanked. So I'm thinking, okay, he knows how. to fix it. He might be able to do. this job. He got an inside job. It's a complete 180. I don't recognize him anymore. He's about not enforcing the law. One of his first instructions. to Ice is that being. in the country illegally on its own. is not enough for you to go make an. arrest. You've got to wait to. They're. convicted of a serious criminal. violation. How can how can a federal. administrator ignore federal. law? Isn't that unconscious?
Why can't he be arrested for. That as well? I mean, the fifth. Circuit judge, a federal judge in. the Fifth Circuit, said not only are. they ignoring the law, they're. actually violating the law. Again, that's when we need to hold. these people accountable. The incoming administration. I believe they violated the law. And the fact that Congress never did. anything about that is really. telling. Well, that's. The way they went through the. impeachment proceedings. And I said at the time, I. think we had 5 or 6 Republican. Guards and they didn't vote for. impeachment. I couldn't believe it.
And I thought they lost the right to. be a congressman at that point. I mean, if they can impeach. President Trump for making a phone. call, you can't you can't impeach. Alejandro Mayorkas. What he did on this border, the. biggest national security. vulnerability this nation has ever. seen. Look, me. I'm Christopher Wray and. I'm not a friend of his. I don't really respect the man much, but he agrees with me that. the border has become the biggest. vulnerability this nation has ever. seen. He sees more red flags than. ever before, and they continue. with the open border even to this. day after the election. Now they're going to sell border. wall material that we're going to.
need on day one. We're getting in there the the. the the illegal behavior, the the the treasonous behavior. of this administration has not. stopped. What do you think happened? It's so interesting. I'm glad I asked you if you knew. him. I didn't know that you did. But since you do, what do you think. happened to my orcas? You know, I as. an agent since 1984, I. think I know we study. people. That's what we do. Either He fooled me and the under. the first under the Obama. administration that he actually.
breathed an enforcement. Either I was hoodwinked and just. thought he was in rehab enforcement. or he always felt that. way and just he played the. role under the Obama administration. Then when he came. back, he actually did what he always. truly believed in open borders. I know the NGOs and. he has a very close relationship. He worked with some NGOs when he was. before he came back. So I don't know what. happened. All I know is a man. who I once respected.
I have zero respect in America for. what he did, not again, not. because of incompetence. This is by design. They knew exactly. what they were doing because he's. been there before. He knows how we shut it down. He knows how we secure the border. And at a high level, not as high as. Trump. We secure the border pretty. good level. He did everything he could to. secure the border, which is a. complete 180. It's fascinating. There's something you. watch when he talks or something. strange varies. Well, first of all, he's lying. And he's lying under oath, which is. a felony. So if I don't know if you.
don't think they were allowed to. prosecute me for. Lying and they should, you shouldn't. be allowed to do. That. He's, like many times are. one of the biggest statements he. made was for those who don't. immediately qualify for asylum, they'll be immediately removed. Really, he got the lowest numbers. removals in the history of Ice. At the same time, you have. historical immigration. So, you know, he's. forced to have a hearing a couple. weeks ago. And I asked couple of. congressmen asked that question. again. Well, there's a lot of. anti Trump anti-human.
rhetoric out there that we shouldn't. have a mass deportation operation. Do you stand by the statement you. made numerous times that they don't. qualify, need be removed. because you also help send a message. to the American people, we're doing. this, deportation operation has to. be done. And you said it. Would you say that again? Of course. Him and Ray back to the. hearing never had the hearing. But. For the American people don't see. here. Here's my biggest issue. I read it. I read it every day. Racists. Inhumane to have a mass deportation.
operation. We just went through four years of. historic immigration again, where. nine out of ten get order removal. We don't have a choice. That's where the law so that they. lose. Why face a growing home? I mean, we just ended. African-American political power, by. the way, because of the demographic. changes just. basically made it. You know, both parties appeared, especially Democratic Party, a lot. of attention to what black voters. want because they're a huge part of. the Democratic coalition. And now that's not true.
And so. it's not you know, this is a. complicated question. Anyone who says, it's just white. racism is what is your average. black person, Chicago, native born. family, been here 300 years. What does he think of watching his. city overrun with illegal aliens? You know exactly what they think. I was up in Chicago last week. I met with hundreds. I met black. pastors, black patriots. Upset. Well, they should be upset. Yeah, They feel like, you know, people are not supposed to be here. Enter the country illegally, which. is a crime. And we keep talking. about you are getting. massive amounts of care, right?
Free hotel, room, three square meals. a day, free medical care. And the black community feels left. behind, which is why these people. are, you know, they could use. some of that tax money in Chicago to. help them and their tax payers. They should have the first, first. chance to get some of that help. But the mayor of Chicago is just, you know, he's ignoring his own. community. And I was up there. Just over a week ago. And I met with hundreds. of people that were up there.
And they're suffering because the. decisions to take care of these. illegal aliens I mean, I saw city. transit busses parked, running, running a few as warming busses. How about taking care of the. homeless people in that city? Let them get on the warming bus. But, you know, they'd rather put. these illegal aliens in a hotel room. at 500 bucks a night at the. Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. and give them three meals a day and. get free medical care rather than. take care of their own people. We got homeless vets. You've been in Washington, D.C.
many times, you know, less than a. mile from the caveat, homeless vets. living in tents. They don't have a free hotel room. They don't get a hot shower. They'll get three squares a day. They know you're you know, they'll. have access to free medical care. But you got people who are in the. country illegally get all that. stuff. Well, yeah. And they also. you know, this is a democracy. So we make decisions based on. population size. And if you dilute the population, you do it. The political power of. the people who are born here, very. much including black people.
So really, it's a takeover. of our of our government, of our. democratic system. And that's why I say for the third. time it completely disenfranchizes. black people and their, you know, black leaders in Congress. who supposedly speak for black. people. They sold them right out, actually fact. And then the buyers in these. communities and we're trying to. address the vice Mayor Owens finally. gets it, I think. But, you know, we'll see what he. actually does. You got the mayor of Chicago. Chicago, the crime rate is extremely. high in Chicago. Right. We know the shootings are outrageous.
And what we're saying to. President Trump and myself, I've. been very clear. We want to prioritize those. who are legally in the country. There are public safety threats. That's what we want to target first. and then most danger to our. community, public safety threats and. security threats. Why would any elected mayor of the. city with a crime rate as. high as it have not want. public safety threats taken out of. their communities, especially here. illegally? There's no you know, you would think. the mayor of Chicago, his number one. responsibility is the safety.
of his community. Why not help me take a good public. safety threat to the community? Ice agents aren't allowed to take a. step into county jail, one of the. biggest county jails in a country. where we used to get hundreds of. really violent criminals. While we can't even step foot in. that, they won't they won't honor an. Ice detainer, they must rather. release that public safety threat. back in the community to re-offend. And where is he likely to re-offend? The immigrant community where he. lives. But I. Don't understand. I mean, so when. South Carolina tried this in 1861. at Fort Sumter,
it kicked off a civil war. When Central High School tried this. in 1957, in Little. Rock, Arkansas. Eisenhower sent 201st Airborne. You can't allow states. to ignore federal law. Try not to use the F-word here. So how is that not an act of. insurrection? I don't understand. If a mayor or a governor. says, you know, we're going to. ignore federal law, there's nothing. you can you can't come into our. facility. How about you get a Seal team and. go. I mean, like, how is that. allowed? That is insurrection.
And my missing something I thought I. thought is the way the system. worked. And that's why I've been out there. taking a lot of hate the last three. weeks. Okay, well, you're taking hate from. the. From the insurrectionists. Yeah. Which I wear as a badge of honor. I've been out there saying. one thing to the mayor of. a Denver. Right. To the mayor of Chicago and. to Governor Pritzker in a restaurant. you cannot help. You can choose not to help us. stand aside. because we're going to do it.
However, there's a line you can't. cross if you go impede. what we're doing. That's a felony if you're going. to knowingly harbor and conceal an. illegal alien from Ice agents 38. USC 1324 to apply. That's a felony. And we will prosecute. We're done playing the game. There are there are federal statutes. on the books written by Congress, enacted by Congress, signed by. president, said this is a felony to. do these things and we're going to. take that seriously. And we got a strong AG coming in. Pam Bondi, I think, will back.
me up on this. You can help it. You can sit aside. and watch us do your work for you. Fine. You do it. But here's a here's a message. No one's asking you to be. immigration officers. What we're asking is give us access. to the taxpayer funded jail. where you already lock somebody in a. jail cell because apparently they're. a public safety threat. When you're done with them. Simply give them to us. And we're removed not only from the. community, from the country. Because when you don't and here's.
what they're going to get, they're going. to get exactly what they don't want. by taking the stance. You don't let me in a jail arrested. bad guy where one agent can arrest. the bad guy in the safety and. security of a county jail where we. know he don't have access to. weapons, you're going to release. them back in the community if you're. endangering the community. The immigrant community is most. likely to be a friend in that. community. You're endangering our. officers and you're dangerous. That alien could things could happen. when you make an arrest in a public. setting. He has access to who knows what. weapons, Right. So what time? Hold on.
Do we want to send more agents? We're going to find a guy. So, I mean, I got to send a whole. team to the community to find him. We send a team because officer. safety concerns. I will send a whole team to find him. and we find him. He's probably going to be with. others. Others are not necessarily an. operational priority. But guess what? Ice agents are going to be told to. turn it back on any illegal alien. So we're going to find the bad guy. and anybody else around him. So we by your actions and not let. me in that county jail means more. agents, your neighborhood, a lot. more agents in your neighborhood and.
a lot more arrests and many. non-priority runs. You won't play the game again. Play the game. That's a result. you're going to get. But I can't believe to this. day that any elected governor of. Governor Pritzker says, you got to. come through me. Okay, no problem. We can do that. Why would you not want to help. people? Public safety threats? Well, this this should be no. question, if you're going to have. your opinion, illegal immigration. We're talking about criminals. Well, to the extent that he allows.
Officers in a state to violate. federal law. Pritzker's are. criminal. I mean, any any governor. who willingly flouts. federal law, again, this is where we. had a civil war in the United States. in 1861 because. South Carolina did this. So I don't know why we would ever. put up with that for one second from. any governor, a Republican or. Democrat. President Trump ministration will. not put up with it. And that's why one Sunday, a warning. shot out, this is not gonna be. tolerated. We're going to take. action. American lives are at stake here. And. This president, I think,
has been given a mandate by American. people. Apparently the result. of election has no influence on many. of these people. Governor, Mayor. Adams reached out to me and I. actually went. Mayor Adams, he. understands it. And I think he realizes that we're. taking it seriously. And Eric Adams from New York reached. out to you. Reached out to me. Good for him. I went inside. I met with him. He believes he should take. public safety threats out his. communities, too. He's offering to. help us. He's offering to let me in the. Rikers Island jail. We've been kicked out of Rikers. Island jail for years.
Or again, like we used to arrest. hundreds of illegal aliens with. criminal convictions there. Eric Adams says he's going to go as. far as writing an executive order to. get us back in Rikers Island, because he agrees with me that Mayor. de Blasio did a lot of harm. that affected the public safety New. York City. So he's probably. getting a lot of pushback from the. city council. I saw him the other day says, Yo, you can cancel me if you want, but. this is the right thing to do for. public safety and New Yorkers. He also said he was just me and. fighting over the 300,000. missing children, which many are.
going to be in New York City. With Donald Trump returning to the. White House, this country has a. unique opportunity. May be our last opportunity. to save ourselves from. the anti-American and anti-human. left, but our. efforts may be stymied. by the Deep State. That's what happened to the first. Trump term permanent. Washington stands. in the way of all efforts to. improve the lives of ordinary. Americans, and right now they are. scheming to do the same thing. to the second Trump administration.
They are determined to keep their. stranglehold on power. regardless of elections. Anti-Democratic. That is a fact. So what do you do to fight. them? How do you defeat the. deep state? Well, one way you can is. by supporting the Heritage. Foundation, which is in Washington, understands exactly how it works. in such a way that they're a threat. and they're under attack. You know who's effective because. they're the ones under attack. Heritage has a comprehensive plan to. dismantle permanent Washington. and restore the country to its.
democratic foundations. It's important. Visit heritage.org/tucker. to learn more and to support. this critical effort. When you make a gift today, you get. a free pocket constitution. to make certain that you are. equipped with the founding. principles on your person at all. times. It's amazing to read it. again. That's heritage.org/tucker. So let me ask you about Adams. I talked to the other day. He seemed pretty reasonable to me. I don't agree with him on, you know,
a lot. But on the other hand, he. didn't seem crazy. And my impression is that. he was indicted on what seem. like pretty silly. charges by the feds. because he complained about. immigration in New York. I think that's what he thinks. happened. Do you think that's. possible? I absolutely do. Yes. And when I sat down with him, it. was all about public safety. That other stuff never came up. Just the carpeting came out. And look, I've been calling him out. for three years saying he forgot.
what it's like to be a cop, became a. politician. It's not helping in this. crisis. Well, he reached out and I sat down. with them. I saw that I first time ever I saw. the cop career cop come out with him. like this. This is this is this. should be controversial. I want to work with you on this. He goes, we're not going to be. immigration officers. I'm not going to help you round up. illegal aliens in my say so, Iowa, I want you to be an immigration. officer. I want cops work with cops. to remove public safety threats. He gets it and. he says you're going to take some. executive actions.
So I hope he does, because that's. going to make New York City much. safer, not only for the community, but for my officers. Yeah, my biggest threat is you going. to forces in a community that's bad. guys. And we could address the. safety and security of a jail. It puts our guys at great risk. So and same with the Border Patrol. agents there. Criminal cartels can be put out of. business by President Trump, which. means the violence is going to rise. on the southern border. Well, that's right. And it's also if. you think about it and I know you. have thought about it, I, I think it's safer for everyone to.
have your guys arresting illegals. in the Sonoran Desert than in Times. Square. I mean, that's scary in. a crowded city, right? And these men and women, they're. going to put their lives on the line. every day. And I. again, I can't believe any. politician left to write metal. would want to put these officers. at risk when there is a better way. to do this. When I first started in this game. back in the 1980s, I never heard the word a sanctuary. city. We got an every county jail. Everybody works. I can't believe. we're at a time now. My my my father was a cop.
My grandma was a cop. You know, I. And father was a cop. Yeah. I knew I was going to be a cop. and. Where are they? Cops in upstate New York. So. In my day, cops were a respected. police officer. Respect. And now we're now fast forward now. And these politicians, if. you enforce law, all of a sudden you. become the bad guy. And if you actually break the law, you're the victim. That's truly where it is in some of. these cities. It's weird that the Republicans. put up with that acts of.
insurrection. I mean, they've been. yammering about the insurrection of. January 6th. But a sanctuary city is a is a. bold, unequivocal. Move toward insurrection. You're saying I'm not obeying. federal law? And no one did anything about it. They made fun of him on Fox News, but they didn't. They didn't send the hundred and. first Airborne. I don't understand. why. President Trump can't take our. stance. I think he would take one. of the things, take their federal. funding away. I think it's going to. bring a lot of people to the table. I need that money. And plus, I think it gets down to.
it. If they impede if they ignore. any harbor, I think we need. to, you know, prosecute members. You know, I said as I said when. I was ice director, that they need. to be held accountable and DOJ needs. to look at criminal prosecution. Of course, the media are crazy home. and trying to lock up politicians. When I called for a DOJ, if I'm. not an attorney, but I. as an agent many years ago, I have. arrested United States citizens. for knowingly harboring concealing. an illegal alien in their home.
arrest US citizen for harboring. concealing illegal alien the place. of business. If I can arrest US citizen for. violating those crimes, why can I. arrest the mayor or a governor who's. given his staff. explicit instructions to impede us. and to hide from us? I mean, the Mayor Adams came out and. said he had a police force at the. city boundaries preventing us from. coming in. Right. That was one of the comments he. made. Now he's walked them back. because he made a statement. He's willing to go to jail. And I responded, well, I'm willing. to put you in jail if that's what it.
comes to. I'm not looking for a fight with. these people, but I'm not going to. run away from one either. We're going to enforce this law. We're going to do what the American. people wants us to do. We're going to enforce the law. We want to run this deportation. operation. If you don't want to help, get the. house, get the hell out the way. But if you impede us. We need we need to prosecute these. people and send a message this is no. longer acceptable to anybody. Should never be unacceptable. But under Trump administration, we're not playing that game. Because the country it's not even. about on some level immigration.
It's about holding. the country together. If parts of the country decide we're. just not following the federal laws. because we don't feel like it, then. how is it a country. They can ride? It would be alive. today if we had a better. relationship in New York City. She was arrested. He was a killer, was arrested in New York City for. injuring a child. If we had the relationship we used. to have. They were trying to mobilize. I sort of detain them. Remove them? Yeah. But instead, you went to Georgia. and. Killed another girl. And you know, if. President Trump was president.
He wouldn't even be United States. He'd be in Mexico in the Remain in. Mexico program where never been. released into the United States, giving a free hotel or giving a. monthly stipend for food and. expenses. Free cell phone, airplane tickets. It's just incredible where we're at. today. But I got full confidence. in myself and President Trump, and. I'm working very close to Steve. Miller, brilliant architect. of the most successful border policy. this country read. What's his position going to be? He's the deputy chief of staff. Yeah. I'm a I'm a senior.
advisor to the president. Term borders are not. my turn by turn, but I can guarantee you, Tucker, and to your listeners, this border is our is trying. to help out very the last borders. I've actually I've already been on. the border three times and I'm not. even honest with you. I got to I cannot resist asking you, what are these drones in New Jersey? I don't know. I've talked to people in the. intelligence community. Some think it's.
Some are from. an Iranian. ship. But I haven't got access to. intelligence reports. I know one thing. Maybe it's maybe. the news is right. Maybe they're. surveying or maybe they're all. legal. I just find it hard to. believe. I can't believe this administration. has taken action on it. I guarantee you, if President Trump. goes in the Oval Office, everyone. was blown out the sky by now. I don't know factually, because I don't see the intelligence. reports. I'm not in yet. But.
I find it highly suspicious that. the administrators say they're all. legal and lawful and that they. pose no harm to. the communities. I don't buy it. Do you do you think that other. members of the incoming Trump. administration have been briefed on. what the current administration. thinks they are? I do not know. I'm hoping they have. Maybe they should have, but I don't. know. I just saw one congressman. from New Jersey said he got. information from Iranian. Summer. Yeah, I saw that. And I've also talked to.
friends in the intelligence. community that off the record. thought the same thing. But I have no direct knowledge of. it. That's bizarre. I guarantee within a few days, the. Trump get away that White House call. and find out. Yeah, I think that's I. believe that. I believe that to be. true. So of the. So you've described, I think really. well the problem. and how you plan to secure the. border, the deportations. Was that that was the second goal.
that you had of three. How many of. those 12 million. do you think are eligible can be. deported? And we know there's right now we. have over 1.7 million. or final orders, removal of already. been ordered removed that haven't. been revoked. Okay. So that's just a gimme. That's easy. We got 700,000 780,000. illegal aliens with criminal. convictions. They're going to be priority one. And then we get you know,
we got criminals that security. threatening fugitive seized, the. ones that died at one point, 1.7. I think the last number was a people. who had due process. They get great tax free transfer. order and will they need to go? We'll find them then we'll then. we take the rest. I mean, everybody. says, how many illegal aliens can. you remove in a year? I don't know. I'll find out when I get into. office. How many positions do I. have? What was my money look like? How much money do I have to buy. beds? Can we need detention beds? People want to say you don't read. Somebody's just deported that day. We have to detain them, work out.
arrangements with their home country. to get travel documents. They have to accept that, yeah, there are national laws and there's. a process. We go through anywhere. from a few days, a few weeks. So we have to detain these people. So how many beds can I fortify. by because I don't have beds. We had to do this. How much money you have for. transportation contracts, whether. over the ground or in the air and. other agencies be involved? I know I specifically. have requested that DOD be involved.
They can do non-enforcement duty. What that does is so. the officers wearing a badge and gun. with immigration authority, they. shouldn't be driving a bus. They shouldn't be building. infrastructure on the southwest. border, Southside facilities. They shouldn't be doing the. intelligence. They shouldn't be. doing the targeting. Right. As much non-enforcement work. as possible contract. that I'll have DOD do a lot of it. and that releases of badges and guns. to the street where they're really. needed. So what other agencies are involved? Is DOJ going to be part of this take.
off the non-enforcement duties of. our shoulders? So hopefully I'll find. out really fast what we have. I know right now my sources. that ice, they're already $300 million in. the hole. So I'm hoping Congress. will provide us with. a huge funding through the. conciliation process. That's my hopes. And I know I talked to Lindsey. Graham. He warned deportation. Yeah, Lindsey Graham yesterday said. he's working out of an. astronomical bill.
The more money we've ever seen. before. I hope that's true. I just don't want to be held up in. this this tax bill that's. going to take 6 or 8 months and it. gets watered down by time we get it. And it's just ridiculous. Have you I mean, is there some legal. way to designate. Americans just for a temporary. period as Ukrainians. and then just tell the Congress that. money is going to Ukrainians. Or let me. Great. That would expedited, don't you. think? Here's 200 billion you're. Spending money defending Ukrainian. border. But it would be nice. if a year is just a piece of that.
action because they got a lot of. Yeah, I'm hoping. and praying that this is going to be. different than the first Trump. administration when he had the. Senate in the House for three years. I'm hoping they come to the table. and help this president succeed. through funding is paramount. We're only going to be as successful. as a funding were given to get this. job done. Well, I, I, I can I'm no. expert, but I know members of. Congress, most of them, and I know. that they only respond to pain, unfortunately. And you just have to threaten them. and you're going to lose your seat. and we're going to call you out by.
name and make you unpopular in your. state. And your career will be over. unless you obey immediately. It's just normal. People. You don't you can reason. with normal people. And love motivates people. I mean, I doubt like in your house, you and your wife are threatening. each other. You probably love each. other saying nice things to you, but. members of Congress are normal. people. And you really just have to, you know, grandmother face and say. do this or suffer. And they will respond to that. So I hope you will do that. Yeah, there's a lot of media outlets. right now. I think they're trying to. shame us saying how expensive this.
operation is going to be. It's just incredibly. Expensive and letting in 12 million. people and giving. Exactly. Free medical care. And x. Rays running our hospitals. Yes. First of all, what price you. pay on national security, what price. you put on Lincoln Riley's life and. so many other little girls. is going to be a cost savings for. American people. Right now, we're. spending billions of dollars, our. free airline ticket free hotel room, not even mention the cost of schools. and trauma centers and hospitals and. social services. in perpetuity.
Yeah, it's going to be expensive for. rural America. I mean, it's flat out I live there. Can be expensive, rather gay. But the longer we're going to save. American taxpayers billions of. dollars by getting this country back. to the rule of law. What's the point of a government. except to ensure safety and. tranquility for its people? I mean, what is the point other than. to obviously kick out Assad and. and secure the borders of Ukraine, but which are the top priorities, I. think listed in the Constitution. But after that, you know, taking. care of your own people seems to be. important also. Well, that's why President Trump won.
this election. Right now. He's put America is America first. That's why I can't live like this. the second time I came back from. retirement. To serve this president because. like I said, I've been doing this a. long time and I'm at the point now. where I wake up every day pissed. off. The first day I woke up, a. smile on my face was there for the. election because I knew. we can fix us. I knew by every fix that you save. lives, secure borders. Save lives. Yes. Right. Even when you when. you got 100%, the agents on the line. doing their job rather.
than changing diapers, making baby. for like hospital runs more fat. Nazis means less prone on death. Less people were less Galloway's was. means less sex trafficking of women, children, less known as Spector. terrorists. Even the wall saves lives. And people say Trump's vanity war. No. That's America's war. First of all, every place to build a. border barrier, illegal migration, reduce illegal drug flow, reduce. what people want to talk about, how many lives are saved. The most vulnerable of those that. come to their country. And women,
children can't get over that wall, which means they're going to a place. where there's not a wall. And what's waiting on them? The men and women in that green. uniform, the finest 1% this country. has, we're going to take care of. their medical needs first because. they're in a lot of bad shape when. they get their men and women on. board. Joe saved thousands of lives. every year. Of course, that's why they want to. come, you know, haters. and stormtroopers and. And they want to, you know, slander the men of the horse patrol. for what they did. And still no apologies to stay men.
and women boards or say that the. save a lot of lives border war saves. lives. And under Trump administration, the. number of deaths were very, very. low, both both Americans. and illegal aliens. under Joe Biden. We're just I think we're just short. of 4000 aliens have died across. the border while you and I are. talking right now, while you're not. having this discussion. Women are being raped and members. of the cartels as a part of the. crossing through that border. A child is going to die today. Either drown in a river or be lost. in the desert or abandoned by these.
cartels. They think the government's getting. close to them. They'll dump people. and save their own skin. and put these. Many children have been abandoned on. board more mortgages. Find a lot of them. I guarantee board to invite all of. them there. Some toddlers are going. to find some day. So it's so evil. I mean, I know that in El Salvador, when Ms.. 13 ran the. country before Bucheli, there was a religious component. of kind of voodoo witchcraft. component to Ms. 13, where they were worshiping. the devil, I mean, openly.
It's a component of the cartels. You see it in Mexico as well, all. through Latin America, is that. you come across that. Yeah. Yeah. They they they. worship death. And, like, formally worship it. Yeah. Yeah, there is. There's a. I won't call religious. We you know, some. places even the Texas DPS. have found some of these places. where the cartels are operating. They got, you know, statues, statute there and memorabilia.
worshiping death. as a consequence of not. allowing them to do their business. Right. And these are from cultures that. have practiced human sacrifice for. thousands of years. I got a video on my phone. A showing member of the cartel. skinning a man alive. Skinning him alive on video. to send a message to anybody. If you push back on the cartels, if. you snitch on the cartels, they're. not going to kill you.
They're going to make you suffer. immensely. I got sent this video by some of the. intelligence community, and I'm. pretty tough guy, but I can't watch. all of it. No, of course not. When they skin somebody's life in. the pain that man went through, this. is what they do. That's why I miss. 13. They don't just shoot somebody. They back them up. Me and President Trump, when we did. Operation Matador in Long Island, we. arrested just short of 500 gang. members and a lot of members, 13. And during the press conference, President Trump referred to these. people as animals. And, of course, Nancy Pelosi.
Recipe one Nazi. All these are people. She's an animal, actually. Then they came to me. This is what I saw. President Trump has. He has animals, but animals kill survive. Ms. 13 kills with pleasure. They're much worse than animals. Well, it's witchcraft. It's human sacrifice. And they've I mean, again, they're. from cultures that have practiced it. for a while since. the beginning of recorded history. So. we're trying to argue the rest of. them. They're on notice their days. of coming.
over here and. meaning crying victims in this. country over. And a lot of people are pushing back. saying, well, you can't remove out. of Venezuela. They're going to be removed. And events away don't take them more. than some someplace else. But they're not staying here. So today, I was in. a lot of harm in this country. As you know, the rape, murder of little girls and and. the theft and the organized. crime that they've instilled in. major cities this country. And President Trump put them on. notice. Our gang is bigger than our gang.
I hope so. Take him out of business. When phone companies say they're. selling something for free, they really mean see the fine print. You're going to need thick glasses. to read it. Once you read it, you realize the. product is not free at all. Far from it. To qualify for those programs, you. need to check all kinds of. predetermined boxes that are often. expensive. It's a scam. Don't fall for it. Pure talk is a better option. Get a brand new iPhone 14. plus unlimited talk, text. 15 gigs of data and more.
for 50 bucks a month. free. No. Real? Yes. It's transparent and the value. is obvious. So half the price of the big. corporations. You get a new iPhone powered by. America's most dependable 5G. network. Go to pure talk dcoms. flash Tucker, and you save an. additional 50% off on your. first month. Pure Talk America's wireless. company. I remember in the first. Trump administration, the US.
military refused flat. out refuse generals refused to. secure the border. What what do you think of that? It's a shame. I mean Deal did. a lot of ministrations of the Obama. administration. They helped the Clinton minister. What's the point of sending them a. trillion and a half dollars every. year? Is there a reason that we do. that? I think we've proven that the. southwest border is a huge. national security vulnerability. I think it's a perfect place for the. military to. Be bigger than Syria. I would say it's more of a national.
security vulnerability in Ukraine or. Syria or anyplace else. So I think President Trump's not. going to take no for an answer. He is a president United States. He should make this work. And DOJ will be a part of this. operation. We need them. We can make a bigger impact if they. can do some of the things that don't. require a badge and gun for us. And that puts more badge and guns on. the street. Arrest bad guys. It's there an imperative part of. this operation, other other agencies. we need help from. You know what? I'd like to see the US Marshals be a. part of the FBI. Be a part of it.
You know, I've gone I've. actually shut down my LinkedIn. account because I've gotten. thousands of current thousands. Retired Border Patrol agents, retired Ice agents, retired police. officers, retired military all. want to come back and help this. operation. And I'm hopeful we're going to. rehire a lot of these people. We had the lawyers for the Ice. Trust, you, the retired Board of. Education, Ice agents. They know the Fourth Amendment. They know they can do it. Don't do it. I'm speak Spanish. They know how to use the processing. systems. They know the game. They're good at it.
So one of the first times when we. work and I bring about this retired. agents back and let them help us do. this job. They're educated in immigration. enforcement. They hit the ground. running. I should have asked you at the. outset, but of the 12 million that. you described, you came here. illegally under Biden. Where were they from? Rough 181 different countries. So how does a multi-year. Arsenal It's almost every country in. the world think about it. It's I think they're 199, you know, so there were. none from Vanuatu.
or Seychelles, but the rest came. But how was the breakdown, like. you think of illegal immigration? Well, when I was a kid, it was from. Mexico. I don't think it was any. more than it was Central America. than it was South America. Roughly, what was the breakdown? Can you is Mexican story or. national Mexico still lead? Really? Yeah. El Salvador. Guatemala. Honduras. Close second. I mean, those four countries make up. a majority. But what concerns me is.
the country that we never had. much activity from. Yes. You know, 46,000 Chinese. What's that? It scares the hell out of me because. a lot of our military age males, 46,000 military. age males, don't leave China without. the coordination approval of the. Chinese government. That just don't. happen. Russians, we got over, I think, last. Look, I has 27,000 Russians. People from Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq. Big Africa, too.
It's just how many from Africa? I don't have that in my head. But special. interest countries. Countries. Numbers like we've never seen before. and we can't prevent them. That's one thing. I mean, screening. out to your secondary markets gets. up there. And so there are properly. vetted. Vetted against what? Because we don't have criminal data. from El Salvador, Turkey or Syria. Do you think China is going to give. us any national security that other. people or Russia. So you vet them against NCIC,
which where you have. So unless you're convicted, unless. you've been convicted, arrested in. this country before and your. fingerprints were taken, you're. going to come back clean because we. don't have access to most countries. criminal. That's why these countries. don't have criminal data. Right. I think Haiti has an NCIC. Absolutely. Though. So they say they have them. They don't they don't get them. properly. And what comes to tear is. vetting beyond the. criminal vetting. How about. terrorist vetting? You and I both know. Most terrorists in this world are in. any database unless they. were part of AT3 operation or. caught on chatter or encountered.
on a battlefield by a soldier. and biometrics were taken. We don't know who they are, where. they're at. And so even. they say they've been through these. terrorist databases don't really. mean a lot. But here's one thing. that has been talked about a lot. And and I've talked to. several whistleblowers in Baltimore. So they they arrest somebody from. this country. They get them. through the bureau. But there have been such a push by. this administration process. Quick release, quick, because. there's no overcrowding. There's nothing to see here.
More secure their process. and so quickly. Sometimes the vetting came back. after their release and they were. hot. There is two occasions this has. happened. Ice actually found one later on. Hot meaning what they've got there. A positive hit on that terrorist. database person of interest. So that's going to change. I mean, we have to detain. these people. The Trump administration. went and catch and release either. going to be sent back to Mexico. We detain you. The only the only thing. that I'm concerned with is.
this US Supreme Court ruling. There's a ruling called sabotage. versus U.S. that says you can. only hold somebody up to six months. For a significantly significant. likelihood of removal. So if we have a country that. absolutely not take them back at the. end of six months, we've got a. decision to make between. removing to a cooperating third. country, we have to. release them unless we can. Prove one to some New Mexico. If they came through more than. Mexico, deal with it. Well, that's part. Of the Claudia Lady deal. That's part of the plan. And we're hoping to do that.
But the job, that's really terrible. And we're hoping that now we get a. better Supreme Court that needs to. be relitigated to say we can. only hold somebody for six months. And there are significant public. safety threat. Just because this country says, no, we don't want them. There's got to be a better way. I wonder if the 47,000. Chinese that you mentioned, that's kind of what Fidel Castro did. in 1980 with the Mariel boatlift, just like empty the prisons and the. mental hospitals. Why wouldn't they do that?
Well, they haven't. The oil has. Venezuela has. Yes. But has China, do you think? I don't. I don't think so. I think China. These people came here for a. purpose. You know, as you know, you've done a. lot of reporting on. the land around military. bases there, setting up. a shadow business here. I think China, between. all these people, these plots, continuing to create the precursors. that make that. Now they're trying. to destroy this country. That's my. personal. Well, they're selling drugs all over.
the country. They're selling drugs. all over the state of Maine. Maine and. Chinese national and was. By administration to China. But they're creating these. fraternization to cartels matter. What are you done? What are they. done about the cartels? I think President Trump's going to. Know because fentanyl has killed the. exact Americans that Biden hates. and is always attacking. And so, I mean, it's committed. genocide against his enemies. So he's he doesn't seem against. it at all. It's all very dark. I have to wonder. You said you use the phrase military.
age males. Because this was so coordinated. by these. NGOs, Catholic Charities, U.N. and others. You have to kind of wonder like, is there some military purpose. to this invasion? Have you wondered that every day? Yeah, I can't wait to get in power. or start driving drones down these. files. Who are these people you. release? What kind of vetting did. you do? Did you take biometric.
biographic data? Yeah. High testosterone, Foreigners. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, why? I mean, we don't want to be. paranoid, but. It's been very, you know, they. don't talk about it. And it's very. you know, when we get in power, we're going to have to pull all. those records, you know, like over 300,000 hits. And we got to pull the director of. HHS go. Hey, so what? I'm sorry. I've been told by whistleblowers. That 300,000 missing children, that's something else I've read. reference to. Over half a million children in. traffic in this country,
and they get turned over. to custom HHS Office of Refugee. Resettlement, who find sponsors and. release from the sponsors. I've talked to several. whistleblowers, say they weren't. even fingerprinting the sponsors on. many occasions and not doing proper. reading. We have a whistleblower who. testified in front of Congress all. three times. Don't allow these children seen to. be victims of trafficking. They're released on very sponsors. and many children will be released. to one sponsor. The one whistleblower said There. is 11 young girls. released and one male single male.
Maybe something. Maybe so innocent, maybe stop or innocent. But that's sick, you know? And look, the CBP went out, they shut the dock was a massive. fraud. One of the insiders. and CBP told me, for example, one dead man. spotted over 600 people, been dead for years. Massive fraud, massive trafficking. involving when they talked about. opening CBP one up to do that, I. said at the time, before they even. implement, if you do this, it's. going to create a huge trafficking.
network where if you. if you if you're from Cuba, Nicaragua, Nicaragua, Haiti, eventually you won't from the. United States under this. c v program. You just got to find a sponsor. Want to take care of you? How many. sick pedophiles would. be willing to sponsor anybody? One of those four countries, a. crumbling United States. After a year, you want them. to do you know you're their official. sponsor. Without you, they can't. stay. And what are these? Our six sponsors? Not all of them, But many of these.
are going to be predators and sick. people where they go and do these. people who are trying. to stay in this country. It's a huge human trafficking issue. I guarantee you. Human trafficking, is it mostly for. prostitution. Prostitution or forced labor? Mainly those two things. So if you go to any construction. site in the big construction site, they're building a data center or a. mall. I know this because I knew a guy who. in the business just told me this. Anyone in the United States, there will be child prostitutes.
there from Latin America. brought in by the cartels for the. guys on the cruise. And I said, Does everyone know. this story? Everyone knows it from a. fact. Every big construction site in. the United States. Does anyone ever. do anything about it? No. No one. ever does anything about it. Wait till January 21st. I don't understand that, though. No. Everyone in the building trades. knows that. How can law enforcement ignore it? We're not going to try and do. good.
But I can tell you a lucky few of. the other four over 300,000 this. government lost track of. I guarantee you as I sit here today. We'll find many in forced labor. We'll find many. And for sex trafficking. That's a sad thing. We won't find it. That's right. President Trump. saying, seriously, we got we got to. save it. We got to save these women. and children there are put in this. position. Immigration consequences. will still come. But first, we got to save and get. these kids. As far as the kids at. three over 30,000, we got to save. these kids. A lot of them are living the life.
however day. And we I guarantee you we'll find. what price. HSA has already found some of these. children in meatpacking plants. cleaning up entrails on a midnight. shift. We're going to find some Lynwood. pedophiles from behind. Some are in sex slavery. Some are going to be dead. But we got to find these children. And a prototype made that a third. rail of priorities and. something needs to be done. This administration thought the DNA. testing, they stopped the proper. vetting under the Trump. administration. We were having the. same problem in the beginning with.
the DNA testing. You weren't a family. Let's DNA testing showed your family. and we did vetting. We didn't just vet the sponsor. Foley. We vetted everybody in their. household to make sure there wasn't. a pedophile living in the house, make sure there wasn't some arrest. of a domestic violence in the House. This administration stopped all that. because Becerra, the secretary. of HHS, he gets on stage and brags. I saw him on stage bragging how. quick we release these kids from. government custody. We got a machine. Here's like the it's like the. Ford plant.
We get them in and out here. Yeah. Because you stop you stop the. proper vetting, you start DNA. testing and God. help you for what you did to these. children because a lot of these. children live in life. However, days we got to find these. kids. That's unbelievable. So what last question. I'm just interested in. why you're doing this to you. You did it for 40 years. Yeah, 1984, 40 years. And then you go into the private. sector and you're not retired, but you get to do kind of what you. want to do and make a real wage.
after working for the government all. these years. And this problem is just so enormous. and the bureaucracy is. so complex. and hard to fight and. they always win in the end. Why would you take this job? Wow. Because I love my country. First of all, we we. we we made more progress on the. southern border ever before. The first the Trump administration. was Ice director of.
Okay. I'm taking an 82% pay cut. I bet. And going back to have a paycheck. And thank God my wife supports me. She said I don't take the job. She's going to ask me because. she want to keep me waking up every. day mad at the work. I didn't come back. You're not a liberal. No, she's not. You know, I say this many times. because the things I've seen in my. career, I mean, I stood in. the back of a tractor trailer. I grew up in the town of 2500 people.
eating raw milk cows or. you're a lawyer. We worked out for drop. Sorry. Three things you did where I. grew up. So I grew up with ten and 25 Harley. Like fast forward. I'm sitting I'm standing back at. trailer at Tractor Trailer 19 dead. people at my feet that. beg to death and back to the tractor. trailer, including a five year old. little boy who suffocated. and on top and was his father. He was trying to protect them. I did that investigation. They said that old boy begged.
his father not to love die. because you want to see his mommy. again. Back over and over again. You know, here's a five year old boy. who knew he was dying and asked that. help. Now. You know, Dad, you know I can. help them right now. I've talked to little girls as young. as nine to a rate multiple times by. members of the cartel. Not once. Numerous times. Grown man cried upon this little. girl, took everything innocent and. pure from her her life. and never be the same.
Look in her eyes. There wasn't life in her eyes. It's just for girls devastated. for life. And this happens every day. when they secure the border. on purpose. I wrote an op ed for Fox News. I says, If Joe Biden. wins the presidency, we lose the. border. When you lose a border, trafficking or sex trafficking will. skyrocket. Child deaths will skyrocket, migrant. deaths will skyrocket, American. deaths will skyrocket from drugs. from across the border. I wake up really pissed off for four.
years, so. I've been on numerous networks. complaining about someone. President Trump Cosby Up says, even complaining about for years. You and I can fix it. How do you say no? First of all, you don't say no. The president stays and sucks more. I won't say no to. I love this country. I want to save some lives, secure. borders, save lives. I'm going to come back. Do what I. can. I guarantee you what we're. going to do is going to save migrant. lives. It's going to save American.
lives. It's going to protect our national. security. That's that's why I'm. coming back. Now for the pay go that. I'm coming back. This. After after three and a half decades. doing this job. Do you understand it? You understand that tragedies happen. around it. The more secure the borders, more. lives we save. So I can rest. When I retire for the third time, I. can say I did. my part to save some lives and maybe. less. Children are being exploited. and women being exploited by these. cartels. And my, my, my my.
number one goal is seeing. these cartels wiped off the face of. the earth. I think President Trump. is the guy to do it. Of everyone appointed. I think you got the best shot at. winning because you know exactly. what you want to do. Now. Tom, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you.
