Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: That thing that Democrats say never happens happened again. Seven
- 0:05Speaker 1: non-citizens from Nigeria, India, the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
- 0:09Speaker 1: and Mexico were arrested this week in Texas. They are
- 0:13Speaker 1: accused of voting. or attempting to vote in federal elections
- 0:16Speaker 1: between the years of 2018 and 2024. Now, this bus
- 0:20Speaker 1: comes as the federal government ramps up efforts to secure
- 0:23Speaker 1: our elections. And get this, one of the men arrested
- 0:27Speaker 1: was already a convicted felon after he lied on his
- 0:30Speaker 1: passport application. How does that happen? Well, I sat down
- 0:33Speaker 1: exclusively with Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen, where I
- 0:37Speaker 1: asked him about this and much more. Take a listen.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security Mark Lane Mullen joins me now. Secretary,
- 0:45Speaker 1: thank you so much for being here. Let's get right
- 0:47Speaker 1: into it.
- 0:50Speaker 2: I got to say happy anniversary. I understand this is
- 0:53Speaker 2: your one-year anniversary of your show's start date, and I
- 0:56Speaker 2: imagine you're going to have many more. So happy anniversary
- 0:58Speaker 2: to you. You have a great show.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Secretary. We really appreciate that. Thank
- 1:01Speaker 1: you for being our lead guest on this big day.
- 1:04Speaker 1: I want to start with the Texas voter fraud crackdown.
- 1:08Speaker 1: You guys managed to nail some people for illegal voting.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Two citizens of Nigeria, multiple Mexican nationals, someone from the
- 1:15Speaker 1: Democratic Republic of the Congo, and an Indian citizen. I
- 1:19Speaker 1: thought this didn't happen, but it seems like it does.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Well, and this list is only growing, by the way.
- 1:24Speaker 2: We have 1,620 cases moving right now that are under investigation.
- 1:30Speaker 2: We have 151 arrests. And we have 300,000 we're looking into.
- 1:34Speaker 2: And that list grows every single day. And by the way,
- 1:37Speaker 2: this list is continuing being compiled by states of their
- 1:41Speaker 2: own public voting registers. So, we're going through and we're
- 1:44Speaker 2: scrubbing them, we're comparing them with those that are in
- 1:47Speaker 2: the country illegally, those that are illegal permanent residents, those
- 1:51Speaker 2: that are citizens and we can't find them on our list.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Then we start figuring out who you are and why
- 1:57Speaker 2: did you vote and were you legally able to vote.
- 2:00Speaker 2: The president was right when he said there was a
- 2:03Speaker 2: tremendous amount of fraud in the election. We continue to
- 2:06Speaker 2: see that in every single vote, Kayleigh, that we talk
- 2:09Speaker 2: about that was at the hands of an illegal, canceled-out
- 2:13Speaker 2: citizen that was legally registered and able to vote. And so,
- 2:17Speaker 2: one is too many, but the fact that we have
- 2:19Speaker 2: 300 cases we're looking into right now and 1,620 cases
- 2:22Speaker 2: that are under investigation and 151 rest is unacceptable.
- 2:28Speaker 1: On the southern border, there was some data that came
- 2:30Speaker 1: out this week, 16 months, 16 months, with zero releases
- 2:35Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants into the interior of the country. President
- 2:38Speaker 1: Biden said Congress needs to get it done. How did
- 2:41Speaker 1: you do this without Congress?
- 2:43Speaker 2: Well, the American people did it. They elected a new president.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Congress never had to act. We knew that the nation's
- 2:50Speaker 2: laws were there, and the president had the authority to
- 2:52Speaker 2: do it, but that wasn't the Democrat agenda. The American
- 2:56Speaker 2: people's agenda was secure our border. That's why they put
- 2:58Speaker 2: President Trump in there with record numbers and almost— I can't
- 3:03Speaker 2: say unanimous, but, I mean, when you have electoral and
- 3:05Speaker 2: the popularity vote, you have unanimous consent at that point.
- 3:08Speaker 2: They wanted something different. The Biden administration, though, their agenda
- 3:12Speaker 2: was— to create chaos. They— for whatever purpose their reason was
- 3:18Speaker 2: is to have an open border. If it was because
- 3:19Speaker 2: they wanted amnesty, I believe it's because they were trying
- 3:22Speaker 2: to change the voter population. And it's scary to see
- 3:26Speaker 2: what took place. And why I say that, Kayleigh, is
- 3:28Speaker 2: because the only way you can take a republic like
- 3:31Speaker 2: the United States of America or a democratic country around
- 3:34Speaker 2: the world and make it into a communist country is
- 3:37Speaker 2: by single-handedly making chaos and then coming back in saying, hey, listen,
- 3:42Speaker 2: it's not working. This Democrat policy or this Republican experiment,
- 3:50Speaker 2: so to say, that the United States is having isn't working.
- 3:52Speaker 2: You need a communist party to come in and take over.
- 3:54Speaker 2: We've seen that happen in a lot of countries. It's
- 3:56Speaker 2: not happened in the United States because the Democrat Party
- 3:58Speaker 2: was voted out of power because of the chaos that
- 4:03Speaker 2: they were trying to create on our southern border.
- 4:05Speaker 1: There's no doubt the administration has delivered on border security.
- 4:08Speaker 1: That's an arguable. A Republican congresswoman, Congressman Salazar, had some
- 4:12Speaker 1: comments this week. I want you to take a listen
- 4:13Speaker 1: to this. Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts
- 4:18Speaker 1: have gone too far. The same Hispanics who helped you.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Secretary Mullen, I wanted to get your response to this
- 4:28Speaker 1: Republican congresswoman.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Well, Department of Homeland Security and ICE and all of
- 4:32Speaker 2: our other 21 components, we enforce our nation's laws that
- 4:35Speaker 2: Congress passed. We don't make the laws. We enforce them.
- 4:39Speaker 2: And Congress knows there's a reason why the immigration policy
- 4:42Speaker 2: hasn't changed significantly since 1959 is because it's difficult to do.
- 4:48Speaker 2: But we're not going to pick and choose. We're simply
- 4:50Speaker 2: enforcing our nation's laws, and that's what we do. And
- 4:52Speaker 2: we do a very good job at it. And by
- 4:54Speaker 2: the way, because we're enforcing our nation's laws, we see
- 4:57Speaker 2: murder rates drop to 126-year low. We see carjacking drop.
- 5:02Speaker 2: We see burglary drop. We see sex crimes drop. And
- 5:05Speaker 2: we're arresting pedophiles every single day because we go after
- 5:08Speaker 2: the worst of the worst.
- 5:09Speaker 3: But I want to play this.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Congresswoman Jayapal, a Democrat, seems to think that the people
- 5:14Speaker 1: you guys are getting are not criminals, are not a
- 5:17Speaker 1: threat to the homeland. Listen to Congressman Jayapal.
- 5:20Speaker 3: For the first time this summer, the majority of people
- 5:24Speaker 3: that DHS arrested were people who pose absolutely no threat
- 5:29Speaker 3: to public safety. And the number of people with criminal
- 5:33Speaker 3: convictions who were arrested by ICE actually decreased. Decreased, not increased.
- 5:40Speaker 1: I know you met with the family of Sarah Root.
- 5:42Speaker 1: They might think otherwise.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Well, all the.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Angel families that lost their loved ones at the hands
- 5:47Speaker 2: of an illegal is 100% preventable because that illegal shouldn't
- 5:50Speaker 2: be in our country to begin with. A criminal is
- 5:53Speaker 2: someone that chose to break our law. So when you
- 5:55Speaker 2: decide you're going to break our immigration policies and you're
- 5:58Speaker 2: going to cut the line, you're going to step across
- 5:59Speaker 2: our southern border, you're going to step across our northern border.
- 6:02Speaker 2: You're still a criminal. We're still going to arrest you.
- 6:04Speaker 2: And when you have a car accident and you came
- 6:06Speaker 2: across this— you came into this country illegally, and the Democrats
- 6:09Speaker 2: want to say you're not a criminal and you killed somebody, yes,
- 6:13Speaker 2: you were a criminal, and now you created— now you ruined
- 6:16Speaker 2: somebody else's life and now you're a murderer at the
- 6:18Speaker 2: same time. It's political for them. They want to say
- 6:22Speaker 2: this every day. Now, we do go after the worst
- 6:24Speaker 2: of the worst every day. When we arrest the worst
- 6:26Speaker 2: of the worst, we got a warrant to arrest anybody.
- 6:28Speaker 2: They're typically never by themselves. In fact, very seldom are
- 6:31Speaker 2: they ever by themselves. They're either at a house with three,
- 6:35Speaker 2: four more people, or they're in a vehicle with three
- 6:37Speaker 2: or four more people. When we make contact with you
- 6:39Speaker 2: and you're in this country illegally, we want to make
- 6:41Speaker 2: sure we know who you are, because if we're going
- 6:43Speaker 2: to have national security in this country, we know everybody
- 6:45Speaker 2: that's entered this country. And so I'm not going to
- 6:48Speaker 2: release you back in the public once we know that
- 6:50Speaker 2: you entered this country illegally. It's time for you to
- 6:53Speaker 2: go home, and that's what we're going to do.
- 6:55Speaker 1: And Secretary Mullen, instrumental to doing that work is ICE.
- 6:59Speaker 1: And ICE has been doxed. They've been criminalized. They've been marginalized.
- 7:03Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the future direction of ICE.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I know the nominee was State Trooper Lance Schroer. The
- 7:08Speaker 1: White House pulled down that nomination. What do you see
- 7:11Speaker 1: as the future of ICE, given that we currently don't
- 7:13Speaker 1: have a nominee?
- 7:14Speaker 3: Well, we still.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Have an acting director there, and ICE's mission doesn't change.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Lance is a very good man. He's still working at
- 7:22Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security. The truth is the president gets
- 7:24Speaker 2: to pick his team, and I support the president doing this.
- 7:27Speaker 2: The White House decided to go a different way, but
- 7:29Speaker 2: you haven't heard the last of Lance. Lance is very
- 7:32Speaker 2: instrumental in working at DHS, and we really appreciate him.
- 7:36Speaker 2: At the end of the day, though, we want to
- 7:38Speaker 2: be step— we want to be walking side by side with
- 7:41Speaker 2: the president, in sync and in step. And we're all
- 7:44Speaker 2: working together to deliver the American people what they voted for,
- 7:47Speaker 2: and that's to make sure we have a secure— a safe
- 7:50Speaker 2: and secure nation. And President Trump is doing that. So
- 7:53Speaker 2: he's able to put a very good team together. We
- 7:56Speaker 2: all serve at the discretion of the president, myself included.
- 7:59Speaker 2: And this is the president's pick, and I support him
- 8:01Speaker 2: for it.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I've sat across from angel families. They've shed tears over
- 8:05Speaker 1: their loved ones being lost, and the work you are
- 8:07Speaker 1: doing is saving other families from becoming angel families. Secretary Mullen,
- 8:11Speaker 1: thank you so much for your work and for your time.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Thank you, and happy anniversary.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Thank you.
