Markwayne Mullin | Secretary of Homeland Security Debuts on S&FIM to Tout Historic Border Security & Immigration Enforcement · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm standing outside the Oval Office last Thursday. Jay
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Clayton walks over. Never met him before.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Nice guy.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: And then I see this guy who I recognized as
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: a DHS secretary, Mark Wayne Mullen.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: He's in great shape.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: And I've seen Mark Wayne Mullen on TV a million
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: times sitting there with that little pink like sporting ball,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you know. You know, Louie, we were kids. We used
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to play stickball in Brooklyn with that ball, that little
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: pink sporting ball.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Yep, it's pink. Yeah, and he's always kind of clutching it.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: He's in great shape.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So I walked over, and I did what any gay
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: guy would do, even though I'm not gay, and I
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: grabbed his arm.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I'm like, man, you're in good shape.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: So in turn, because Mark Wayne Mullen's a gentleman, he
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: grabbed my arm.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: He said, man, you're in great shape. So that was
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: the gay encounter.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Between me and Mark Wayne before I entered the Oval
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Office to see the President of the United States. But
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: on a serious note, this guy is doing an amazing job,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: an amazing job running Homeland Security, making his debut on
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Sitting Friends in the Morning.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: My new guy, Mark Wayne Mullen. Mark, good morning, buddy.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Good morning. I've had a lot of introductions. That's the first.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: You forgot to mention you're really tan, too. So I
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: don't know if you've been in the tanning bed or
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: on the beach, one of the two.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: You know what's funny about that? You bring that up, Mr. Secretary.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I am like that in February because I do go
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to the tanning bed, but I live on the beach,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: literally in Queens, so this is natural sun. But I
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: look the same way in six months. That's the best
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: injury you've ever had, right? Let's be honest. The best
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you've ever had, right? Come on.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Not even close.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Not even close. Yeah, not even close.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: It's all true, though. Man, I don't know.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the serious stuff in a moment here.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But you go to the gym like five days a week.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: How often do you work out?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: At least five. I try to get six when I
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: have a bonus day. But, you know, my theory is
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: on working out is I would rather have one hour
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: of sleep and one hour of workout than two hours
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: of sleep and no workout. So no matter what my
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: time is that I've got to get started, if I've
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: got to get started at 4.30 in the morning, I'm
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: going to be at the gym at 2.30 because I
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: need an hour of workout, an hour to cool down,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: or I will never stop sweating again. Um, and so
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I just, I always plan my day around my work
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: at my, my hotels that we travel in because I,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: you know, I have to go or not travel in,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: but travel to, I don't care what my room looks like.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: It's the gym. I don't, I could care less about
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: if I have a twin bed sleeping on a, on, uh,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: you know, a, a canvas cot. Uh, I just want
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a good gym.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: You know, what's funny about that. I'm kind of the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: same way, but the hotel gym never does it for me.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So when I travel, This is going to sound crazy.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Even at D.C., I make sure there's a.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Real gym, you know, like a Lifetime Fitness or one.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Of those where I can walk to because for some reason,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I need all those extra machines, the Smith's machines, you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I need all those other things that the hotel never provides.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: It's because you're getting old.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: That's true. You're right. No, no, no, no. I'm not
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: getting old, Mark Wayne. I am old.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: You are old. Oh, my. I'm approaching that. No, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't drink a lot of caffeine. I mean,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I'll go days and not ever drink coffee. I used
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to not drink any coffee, but I've got now where
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I may drink two or three cups a week. But
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I tell everybody my workout is my morning coffee. That's
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: what gets my brain going. I will never fully engage
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: if I don't work out. The only day I for
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: sure don't work out is Sunday. That's the day my wife,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: she says, well, you just pick one day to sleep
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: in with me. I mean, I am married. And so
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: she says, well, you just, I'd like to just wake
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: up and see my husband there. The problem is about
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: 6 a.m. I'm just, I'm very restless. And so- you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I start pestering her and then she's like, fine, let's
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: go get a cup of coffee. And then that's when
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I drink my coffee.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And then like me, I do the same thing with
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: my wife. And then I go downstairs and disappear for
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: 11 hours and watch the national football league.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But I don't know if you're a big guy. Are
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you a big NFL fan or not?
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Really? Yeah. I'm a big college fan. I like watching
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: college ball. I'm not a huge NFL. I'm a players fan.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: And so I used to keep up with players and
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the old players were before the term franchise players came in,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: they were all franchise players. They stayed with the team
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: and I love the team. And you get where you
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: start rooting for the players, and then they start moving
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: all over the place. And it bugged me because you
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: couldn't keep up with them. And now the NIL has
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: just totally ruined college football too because you can't keep
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: up with the players. Although in college, your good players,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: your starters and stuff, they seem to do stay. They
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: don't bounce around. It's the ones that are looking for
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: a different opportunity that seem to move. So I love
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Saturday college ball. I'm just usually working on Saturday, so
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I catch up on it in the evening.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Good news is my dear friend, Randy Levine, who's the president,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Mark Wayne Mullen of the New York Yankees, is actually working.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: He's worked on it already.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: He's got a bill, which I think already passed the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: House last week. I think like 20 votes. I think
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the Senate has it this week. where they're going to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: cure all those college football ills. You know, remember President
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Trump had that big meeting at the White House with
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Urban Meyer and Nick Saban and Tiger Woods and Randy.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: So they're actually working, believe it or not, trying to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: save the world. He's also trying to save college football.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I know it has nothing to do with the position
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I'm in, but when I was in the Senate, I
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: worked on this very extensively, too, with Coach Myers and
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: all the other coaches, trying to resolve it. Because I
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: have four kids, or three kids at... that are wrestling
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: currently in college, two at Oklahoma State, one at OU.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: And then my daughter will be committing to Iowa to
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: wrestle at Iowa probably in the next week or two.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And she just had her official visit, and I'm probably
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: getting ahead of myself because she told her mom and
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I that she's going to commit. But the problem that
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: you have even on those dealing with the coaches is that,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: and this is interesting because kids are there to learn.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Very few of those kids are going to make a
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: living at the sport they're at, but sports can teach discipline.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: And when you're taught that you can just quit at
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: any time, you create a habit of just quitting and
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: walking away when things get tough. And so the coaches
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: are talking about that. It's very hard to coach these
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: kids because they get mad at you because you're pushing
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: them too hard or you're disciplining them. They just enter
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the portal, and they can enter the portal two, three
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: times a year and just transfer right in the middle
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: of the season. And so it's hard to build some
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: loyalty to the program and build in these kids because
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: all these kids are great athletes. Most of them are
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: coming from a school that they're part of the best
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: one on the team. And they probably haven't, they're not
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: used to having to compete for their spot. And that
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean they're not great athletes. It just means that
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: they can find an excuse to leave. And I had
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: proposed that they could only transfer two times. They could
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: transfer when a coach left that recruited them, they could transfer,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: or they could only transfer after their sophomore year. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: then they had to stay someplace until then their senior year.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: So they're not moving constantly. That way it creates some
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: type of stay, but Either way, college sports, I don't
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: mind them paying the players for name, image, and likeness.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with that. I have a
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: problem with we're teaching young kids how to quit when
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: things get tough. And that bothers me. It's like wrestling
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: is our sport. We're vertically challenged, but we have athletic genetics.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: If, you know, wrestling is not a sport that you're
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: going to make a living at, more than likely, but
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: you look at Fortune 500 companies and you see the
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: amount of executives that are in the Fortune 500 companies
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: that have a wrestling background. Wrestling teaches so much self-discipline
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: that you're able to move forward, and I don't want
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: the sport ruined because of NIL.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Well said, Mark Wayne Mullen, and congratulations to your children.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: It sounds like an amazing family.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: They get it from their mom.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. Me too.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State is back. They're playing great football. They've been
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: great so far this year in Oklahoma as well. This
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: is a DHS secretary. What a great guy. I love
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: this guy, Mark Wayne Mullen. So I go to the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: DHS website.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: This is really scary stuff. Here's story number one.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: After activists caught in California orders illegal alien MS-13 member
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: released from ICE custody.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Here's story number two.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: HSI investigation leads to conviction of Filipino alien who illegally
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: voted in Pennsylvania.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: It gets worse, don't worry. Here's story number three.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Illegal alien from India sentenced in posse scheme that defrauded
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: victims of more than $ 30 million. Want more?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Here's one for you.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: DHS released a statement after illegal alien sentenced for child
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: pornography in Virginia. And over the weekend, ICE arrests murderers pedophiles,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and rapists.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: So you tell me, Mark Wayne.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Why do all I hear about from this corrupt media
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is goody I forgot the other name already.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I feel terrible.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: But at any rate, Petty, you know, they're the people, Petty,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the people that were killed, the three or four people
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: that were killed because, in all honesty, they were instigators
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and causing trouble. But you never hear about the thousands
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and thousands and thousands of horrible people you guys have
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: taken off the streets, plus finding tons of missing children.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Why is that the case?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: We have– it's a narrative that the fake news wants
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: to draw, and here's what I come down to, and
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I'll get into a lot more of the stories that
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: you just brought up though. But we– my theory is
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: on this one is the only way you can take
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: a democracy, a republic like the United States– And you
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: can ever turn it into a communist country is you
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: have to create chaos. If you ever see any democracy
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: that ever fell, it fell because there was a– the
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: party that was trying to become a communist party became
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: a creator of a false narrative to say that there
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: was this chaos and corruption inside the government and that
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: they were losing control. And then when they finally get
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: that narrative, then they say, wait, we got a solution here.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: You need our party in charge, and we're going to rule.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: We're going to root out the corruption. And then you
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: have communism that comes in, and then it destroys a country.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: It destroys a country, and it destroys people and millions.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Every time that happens, millions of people, because they purge them,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: die because of lack of loyalty, and they're murdered. They
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: don't just die. They get murdered. That's what you see
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: anytime you see a democracy move to a communist or
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: a socialist country. And that's what I believe the narrative
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: is that they're trying to draw. They're trying to draw
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: this fake chaos, and they ushered in chaos at the
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: same time because if you look at how to change
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: a– I mean you can AI this, by the way.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: You can Google one of these chat GTPs or whatever
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: that term is, and you say the word, how do
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: you turn a red state to blue? It tells you
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: you've got to change the demographics. You got to change
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the demographics of the voting party, which is what the
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Democrats did when they allowed 20 plus million people come
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: in over four years and then try to make them
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: illegal because they were trying to give them amnesty, which
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: would happen if President Trump would have stood up and
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: ran against the corrupt Biden administration. And then we are
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: pushing back on that narrative. They don't like that narrative.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: So they draw this false narrative because everybody we encounter,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: which we encounter thousands of individuals a day through the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security. That's not just ICE. That's Coast Guard,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: that's Federal Protection Service, that's Secret Service, that's TSA, that's CBP,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: that's all of our 80,000 officers that are on the
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: front lines every single day. And every time we encounter somebody,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: especially on the street, it's a fight or flight because
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: we are looking for that particular person and they know
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: when we encounter them on the streets, they're going to jail.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: So it's not like you're getting pulled over for a
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: traffic violation. They know when we're pulling you over, their
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: life in the And they're going to do whatever they
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: can to get away. It's like arresting a fugitive that
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: escaped out of prison. And so it's a fight or
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: flight mentality. And every time something bad happens, they expose,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: they say that it's on us. That's how dare us
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: be chasing individuals that are in the country legally that
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: committed a crime when they chose to step over the
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: border and cut the line to cheat our system. They
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: broker immigration policies that, by the way, these lawmakers, which
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: in Congress are the ones that set the law. And
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I tell people all the time that DHS, all of
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: our officers through ICE or anybody else, We don't make laws.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: We enforce laws, but we're enforcing our nation's laws, and
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: we're not picking and choosing, and they want to draw
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: this narrative. But they forget to talk about the 450,000
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: kids that were lost underneath the Biden administration, and we
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: found roughly 160,000 of them, and not all of them
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: have been in great conditions. In fact, a great many
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: of them were in the most horrific conditions. dungeon systems
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: you've ever seen being trafficked. And they don't discuss that.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: They don't discuss about the pedophiles we get off. They
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: don't discuss about what sanctuary cities like New York, what
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: happens in New York when they've released 13,000 criminals out
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: of their jails that were convicted and was serving time
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: and put them back on the streets. And these were
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: illegals that should have been deported. Why are you putting
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: them back in the streets? They have no rights inside
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: the country, and they obviously committed a crime because at
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: the same time they say, well, they didn't. You're arresting
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: people that's been here for 20 years and never committed
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: a crime. But at the same time, they're releasing the
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: individuals that have committed a crime because it served in
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: their jails, and they were creating a safe haven for
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: illegal activity inside your city. And it doesn't just happen
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: with illegals. When you create a safe haven– Other pedophiles,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: other cartels, other activities flock to the sanctuary cities. It's
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: not sanctuary for illegals. It's sanctuary for crime.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: And it creates chaos. Yep, yep. No, I know.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: And again, a lot of these stories this weekend, we'll
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: touch on one or two, then I'll let you run.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you have a busy day.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: But this child pornography illegal alien in Virginia, that one
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: scared the hell out of me.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Tell me about that.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: The one in Virginia, in Fairfax, Virginia, for instance, 50%
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: of all the murders that take place are created at
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: the hands of an illegal. 50%. Did you say 50%?
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: 50% in Fairfax, Virginia. 50%. And I've said this multiple times.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Every single murder at the hands of an illegal was
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: 100% preventable because a person should have never been in
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: this country. And so when you see that, you see
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: the pedophile rings increase, too, because if they know that
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: an illegal is going to be protected and an illegal rings,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: that's where a lot of the child trafficking takes place.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: They know that they're protected. They know that the local
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: police are not going to be looking for them. They
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: know that they make contact with them. They're going to
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: be released almost immediately. Unlike what you would an actual citizen,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: an illegal in sanctuary cities and sanctuary states actually have
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: more rights. than actually a citizen does because they have
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: complete amnesty. They're in a sanctuary city, meaning they're like
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: a diplomat. They can do what they want almost. And
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: so you see the worst of the worst with these
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: child pedophile rings. And this one individual, it wasn't just
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: him that we arrested. it opened up a whole nother
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: ring of individuals that we walked into. And there's going
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: to be more cases that's going to come out of
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: this person because it wasn't just him. It was also
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: group chats that he was involved in. There's other victims
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: that are going to be exposed. And these guys never
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: operate by themselves. And you're seeing that grow. But every
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: time we go after these kids to rescue the 450,000
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: kids that were lost during the Biden administration, Every time
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: we rescue one out of a trafficking ring, it leads
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: to others. The worst case is there was one address
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: that had over 400, or I'm sorry, over 40 kids
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: that they had taken custody underneath one address as a
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: sponsor of them. Okay. What do you think happened there?
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Because when we go to the address, there's not 40
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: kids there. And that's just one of multiple stories that
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: we find.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Just terrible. So what's it like?
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Because I love this guy. He was in these studios
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: two weeks ago, Mark Wayne Mullen. What's it like working
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: so closely with a hero? And you're a hero, too,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: mind you.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: You're great. With a hero like Tom Holman.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Tom is his whole focus. He wakes up every single day.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: And he wants to fight criminals and illegal activity. I mean,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: that is his goal. And what a lot of people
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: don't know about Tom is Tom has a very bad back.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: And you wouldn't know it, but he fights that all
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: the time. But he doesn't show it, and he doesn't
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: slow down. The guy is just a true patriot. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: so getting to work with him, there's a lot to
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: be learned from him because he has so many years
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: of expertise. in this field. And you take somebody like
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: myself that can, can take somebody with his expertise and,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: and learn from him, but at the same time to
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: see his passion on fighting. And he doesn't have to,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Tom could retire tomorrow if he wanted to. And with his,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: with his back, the way that it is, it honestly,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know how he does it only continues to
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: do it, but the guy's just a fighter.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: He used to be a power lifter, too. No, I know.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: He's a beast.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I tell him all the time.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I slap him on the shoulder, and I say, you know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I was taught in church that I was supposed to
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: rub shoulders with my elders because there's wisdom to be gained,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: and he doesn't find that as funny as I do.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this quickly. What is your
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: max bench press? I'm just curious.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: 405.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: No, Mark, stop it. I do reps with 315. Come on.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: You rep with 315?
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: That's my last set. So I work up to 315,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: do sets of five with 315. Listen, as I said,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I got three college athletes that are out there every day,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: and they challenge me all the time. I told them
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: the minute they beat me, I'm going to shoot them
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: in the foot. I don't want to shoot them in
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: the foot. I got to just keep myself in good shape.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: That is a, that's a lot of Mark. That's a
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: lot of weight. That's awesome. Good for you.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: And yet with all that said, Bo Dietl, friend of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: mine for 30 years, who now works with you on
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security, he claims that you went out on a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: pushup competition.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Bo is the most energetic man you've ever met in
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: your life. I don't know what battery he puts in
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: his back every single day, but the guy doesn't slow down.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: He would run the bunnings of the ground. It is.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: And anytime you talk to him, hold on, because he's
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: going to have a spit of words and you've got
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: to figure out where it goes.
