WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:09.080 Bill cunning into the Great America Walk On this Friday 2 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.839 afternoon of the tri State, of course, Reds Baseball kicks 3 00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.679 off with lance about six oh five. The Reds need 4 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.440 some wins, kind of like a pitpull needs a port chuck. 5 00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.120 The Reds needed badly. There are some people betting the 6 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.640 Reds win more than four games in a month of June. 7 00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:24.800 I say no. In fact, I say hell no. I 8 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.879 sense glory that lies ahead. But nonetheless, with the Elon 9 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.119 Musk versus Donald Trump feud brewing big time, there was 10 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.560 one report earlier this morning there was going to be 11 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.479 a powwow, and now that the Trumpster says no pow wow. 12 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.640 So we continue to follow that, but without objection. The 13 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.520 greatest success that the Donald has had is on the 14 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.159 southern border. You might recall, for a long time, for 15 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.640 a couple of years, the Democrats were saying, we need 16 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.399 new laws, we need billions, and the number was twenty 17 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.039 billion dollars extra on the southern border. We need detention centers, 18 00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.799 We need more administrative judges, need more lawyers, more due process. 19 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.520 Otherwise the border will continue to be and collapse. We 20 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.640 elect the president, all of a sudden, there's a trickle 21 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.079 coming across, and now we don't have the problem we 22 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.239 once had. The Democrats want an increase spending quite a 23 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.560 bit to get it done. And the one person from 24 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.599 News Nation that's been there every day, every week, every month, 25 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.599 every year for a long time was Ali Bradley. And 26 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:23.280 Ali Bradley welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And 27 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.480 first of all, Ali, where does life find you this 28 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.359 Friday afternoon? Where are you now physically if anywhere? 29 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.200 Hey, Bill, thanks for having me. I'm just outside of 30 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.200 McCallen in the Rio Grand Valley sector, heading home to the. 31 00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:36.680 Del Rio sector where I live. 32 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:38.959 So yeah, spend a lot of time done at the border, 33 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.519 and I do got to make a correction here at 34 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.040 the gate, Bill, because you said that the Democrats wanted 35 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.480 more detention facilities. That is not true. They wanted more 36 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.040 processing facilities. They weren't trying to detain people. Remember, they 37 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.519 were trying to process more individuals into the United States. 38 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.480 So that's a little bit different right now that Trump 39 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.680 administration does want more space for detention, So that's a 40 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.359 little bit different from this administration versus the last one. 41 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.239 But you talk about that trickle, we've seen a ninety 42 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.879 five plus percent decrease. I will say this, we got 43 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.400 the May numbers which are up slightly over April by 44 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.120 about four hundred for the entire month, now still historically 45 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.240 low for May. I don't want it to get twisted 46 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.840 that I'm calling out the Trump administration for the numbers 47 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.039 going up. But when they want zero border crossings in 48 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.479 full operational control and the numbers go up, not a 49 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.039 great look, right. You want those numbers to continue to 50 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.400 go down. When you're surging resources and creating these national 51 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.400 defense areas and DODA skin in the game, and there's 52 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.560 all these three letter agencies running around the nation, you 53 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:36.240 expect those numbers to continue to fall, not climb. And 54 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.360 we did see them go up a tick from April 55 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.840 to May. We're averaging about three hundred and eighty nine 56 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.639 crossings a day at the border right now, so they 57 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.000 are still seeing some issues. But again though it's important 58 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.599 to note too, it's business as usual down here at 59 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:50.400 the border. The reason why it became a news story 60 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.520 is the border patrol, who's been around for one hundred 61 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.680 and one years, was not able to do their job 62 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.360 because they were tied up processing and transporting thousands of 63 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.599 people who are self surrendering. Now they're going after the gotaways. 64 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.800 Most of these three hundred and eighty nine visuals that 65 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.319 are crossing every day, they're trying to evade. They're in 66 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.159 camera from head to toe. They're hiding from law enforcement. 67 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.639 This is the old cat and mouse game that border 68 00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:13.680 patrol and law enforcement are used to down here at 69 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.560 the border. And this is exactly why they exist as. 70 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:18.439 Far as that policy. 71 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.919 And I want to dive into a bit deeper, because 72 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.879 the Bide administration wanted processing centers in order to disperse 73 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.240 millions around the country. Is that correct? And now that's changed. 74 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.919 Put some meat on those bones. What was the policies, 75 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.280 say a year or two years ago? 76 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.800 So we talked about you know, you came out strong 77 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.520 in here talking about how we need a new president 78 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.159 right to fix the border. That's kind of what made 79 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.479 the change. Not necessarily any laws, which you're right there 80 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.840 have no new laws have been passed. Some executive action 81 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.319 has been taken by President Trump, of course, but the 82 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.800 reality is the big change is that they're actually enforcing 83 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.240 Title eight with consequences. So that means if you cross 84 00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.680 over and you're not eligible for asylum, you get removed, 85 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.680 You go through a quick process, and you're removed right now. 86 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.840 Under Biden, the reason why they needed processing facilities is 87 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.439 because these individuals were coming over by the thousands, not 88 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.319 three hundred a day, thousands a day. We saw upwards 89 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.479 of twelve thousand nationwide in a single day at the 90 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.160 peak of the crisis. So we were seeing we were 91 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.120 being inundated during that time. So they were processing them 92 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:22.439 and they could not get them to see a judge 93 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.639 in time because there was the sheer volume of people. 94 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.240 So they had to process them and then turn them 95 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.079 into the country right and so they might have a 96 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.120 court date five to seven years out. I'm talking to 97 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.480 a Russian draft dodger right now who's about to marry 98 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.120 a US citizen whose court date is not until twenty 99 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.360 twenty seven, and I met him three years ago. So 100 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.360 you know, that's the reality of these processing facilities were 101 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.160 what the Democrats and what the Biden administration was advocating for. 102 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.000 We saw all these soft sided facilities pop up, these 103 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.680 kind of makeshift facilities. Those were not capable of detaining people. 104 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.680 Those were not detention facilities. Those were welcome facilities essentially 105 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.000 that process people and then they turned around and they 106 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.720 were released into the country to a transport hub and 107 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.600 then they were free to move about the United States. Right. Well, 108 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.000 the difference is the Trump administration wants bedspace for removal, 109 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.240 not bed space to process. So the detention facilities are 110 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.360 necessary and they're different. Right You have to have kind 111 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.399 of a jail setup versus a welcome setup. Not the 112 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.360 same thing. A facility where you're processing people is not 113 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.839 the same setting as a facility where you're detaining and 114 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.680 holding people. So right now, that's the struggle. They don't 115 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.399 have the facilities to hold all the individuals they're arresting. 116 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.480 They arrested over twenty six hundred people in a single 117 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.319 day twice this week. So you've got to have bedspace 118 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:35.240 for those individuals. 119 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:35.480 Right. 120 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.319 So you have sheriffs joining in a two eighty seven 121 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.680 G program, all these different entities across the United States 122 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.720 jumping on board to help the Trump administration and avail 123 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.879 their resources so that they can continue to detain and 124 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.560 house these individuals who are up for that extradited removal. Now, 125 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.600 removal takes time. It's not just you grab them and 126 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.199 you put them on a bus and they're off. You 127 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.240 have to you have to go through checks and balances. 128 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.319 These are case by case scenarios, and so you have 129 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:01.639 to have ditension facilities. 130 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.240 That is not something that the Democrats were advocating for. 131 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.800 They were advocating for more space to hold individuals who 132 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.399 had crossed the border seeking asylum. 133 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.079 Helly Bradley of News Nation, there was a story in 134 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.319 the Washington Post a few days ago and they were 135 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.360 perplexed as to why fent andyl related deaths are way 136 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.759 down in the United States, And in the body of 137 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.399 the story it talked about, well, the main reason is 138 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.519 that fewer and fewer illegals are coming across the Southern 139 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.839 border as mules. And secondly, the cartels have not yet 140 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:38.319 changed their tactics to avoid being detected. First of all, 141 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:43.600 of course, you know quite familiar with what the cartels 142 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.000 are doing to get drugs across the Southern border. Have 143 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.079 you sensed on the Southern border that there's less drugs 144 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.360 coming across to begin with? 145 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:50.759 Now? 146 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.279 Is just the reality? Is the easiest way to put 147 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.519 it is, with less people crossing, less interactions with people, 148 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.879 were going to have less drugs coming. The drugs don't 149 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.319 float across on their own coming over on drones at 150 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:06.800 some point. Probably we're probably going to be seeing more 151 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.639 of that because we know the cartel has shifted from 152 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.920 some of their dji Chinese thrones to French agricultural drones 153 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.199 that can wield fifty pounds. So are we going to 154 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.000 be seeing things like that? Probably because guess what, Congress 155 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.279 still has not gotten an answer in over two months 156 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.680 as to whose jurisdiction and authority it is to actually 157 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.000 take down cartel drones that are incursions. That are incursions 158 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.360 in the United States. Trump administration has essentially ignored the 159 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.920 cartel drones. They have not given out a response or 160 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.560 guidance as to who should be shooting those drones down, 161 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:36.720 so nobody knows. So drugs can be coming over on 162 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.079 drones undetected, Drugs to be coming over with individuals as 163 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.959 god aways undetected, So there are still people that are 164 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.240 crossing the border that are remaining undetected. Right there's going 165 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.399 to be drugs coming in that way. Then there are 166 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:52.040 the conversations about are the setanol drugs and precursors already 167 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.759 in the United States that we're here for the last 168 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.399 four years, so they don't need to move as much 169 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.319 across the southern border because they were already moving into 170 00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.920 the United States when we weren't looking. So those are 171 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.519 all conversations. 172 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.560 Being had because the cartel didn't go for making. 173 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.079 Billions of dollars. They're making thirteen billion dollars a year 174 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:10.120 according to Congress, just moving people into the country illegally. 175 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.439 So when you're seizing forty two million pills out of 176 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.560 Nogallus alone in twenty twenty four, what do you think 177 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.800 that they got through. They're a business, they operate as 178 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.000 a profit and loss ten to twelve percent. So if 179 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.560 we seize forty two million of their pills, they got 180 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.279 in a lot more that we don't even know about 181 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:28.720 right probably have a little cushion that they're sitting on 182 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.240 right now, Bill, and then yeah, they're gonna pivot. It 183 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.120 took them six months after Title forty two when we 184 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.879 put those so called provisions in places, and they found 185 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:39.440 out we weren't really enforcing Title late that they would 186 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.480 still be able to send people across and then bam, 187 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.440 December of twenty twenty three, record breaking month of over 188 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.000 three hundred and two thousand encounters. So it takes the 189 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.559 cartael time to figure out what we're doing. But again 190 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:51.840 they have the high ground because they thought their drones up. 191 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.120 Every single day. We were underneath one and I turned 192 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:55.480 around and looked at DPS and I said, you guys 193 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.320 going to take it down? And said no, we don't 194 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.639 know who can vor to Patrol said the same thing, 195 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.399 nobody knows who. And then God says, hey, we're down 196 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.080 here supplementing ess so DHS can let us know what 197 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.399 they want us to do. But DHS hasn't told us 198 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.480 what to do. So everyone's like a spider Man meme. 199 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:11.759 Everyone's pointing at each other. 200 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:12.960 It's you. 201 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.720 Nobody wants to take these dropes down? Are they wielding bombs? 202 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:16.320 What do they got? 203 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:16.679 Right? 204 00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.879 And so it's a safety issue, it's a national security issue. 205 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.679 They're right above us. We're sitting ducks. And again the 206 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.120 Trump administration sends out a statement to us. In the 207 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.240 response is saying, you know, we take all national security 208 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.399 threats seriously, and you know we're keeping America safe. Well, 209 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:34.559 what's the guidance who's taking these drones down? No one 210 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.360 right now. So Mexico's operating pretty freely. 211 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:37.759 If you ask me. 212 00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:41.639 Well, the argument is, of course he is. President Trump 213 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.679 has spoken directly with Claudia Shinbaum, who's the President of Mexico, 214 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.360 and she is told the Trumpster, do not allow any 215 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.879 of your troops and on the Mexican territory. 216 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:54.519 But that's a different story. 217 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.360 But those are drones that are making incursions. Those are 218 00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.840 on US territory though. 219 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.960 And they can carry forty to fifty pounds. I don't 220 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.720 know how many vatanyl tablets is forty to fifty pounds. 221 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.639 It sounds like thousands of tablets. And you're saying that 222 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.879 the confusion, as we said here, is so strong on 223 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.240 the southern border as far as shooting them down, that 224 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:19.039 they have dozens or hundreds of drones every day that 225 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.399 we know about, some we don't know about. I would 226 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.840 imagine lots of drones and Arizona and Western text has 227 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.399 come across and no one's watching it at all, and 228 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.399 we don't know how many drones are coming across. 229 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:30.759 That's a new technology. 230 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:32.360 Yeah. 231 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.639 Well, and during kind of the peak of the crisis, 232 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.600 when things are really bad, there were sources that were 233 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.120 telling me that they were seeing up boards of one 234 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.159 hundred drone incursions in a single day in the No 235 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.840 Gallus sector of Arizona, and so I mean, we reported 236 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.720 that that was out there, and so you don't know 237 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.080 who's wielding, you know, who's manning these drones, what their 238 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.480 intentions are. What are they zooming in and getting agent 239 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.399 information their name tags or are they getting DD information? 240 00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.000 Are they looking at our systems? What are they doing? 241 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.000 But when you talk about how many pills fifty pounds 242 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.320 pharmacists that I've talked to and today there's about fourteen 243 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.080 hundred and thirty five pills and a pound depending on 244 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.639 what it's cut with, right, that's all nuanced. But you're 245 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.559 looking at upwards of seventy two thousand seentanol pills, you know, 246 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.039 in a single drone drop. And so if that's the 247 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.279 case and we can't shoot them down, what do we 248 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.399 do there? You know? And so we're kind of sitting 249 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.080 there holding the bag, quite literally, and nobody knows whose 250 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.120 responsibility or even whose you know, authority it is. And 251 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.279 I mean it probably comes down to the FAA, because 252 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.360 the FAA controls the airspace, right And so that's the 253 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.840 situation down here, is that Congress lan Systemani has asked 254 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.679 May March twenty fifth, say hey, you got thirty days, 255 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.200 give us some guidance we're in June now, and I 256 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.679 asked them yesterday. We still did not get a single 257 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:48.360 response from the White House, d D, DHS or the FAA. 258 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.799 And so they want guidance on what to do because 259 00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:54.679 law enforcements down here told me to my face they 260 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.039 cannot take those drones down. They do not have the 261 00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.799 guidance or the clarity. And so it's wild be problematic. 262 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:02.600 In the White House even agreed with me yesterday, and 263 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:06.480 so it is problematic. But you know, obviously we're waiting 264 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:08.320 to see what kind of measures are taken and what 265 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.120 kind of guidance is set down from the White House 266 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:10.360 on that. 267 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.399 It's been us since March. It's been two and a 268 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.360 half months since March. You know, I would think sitting 269 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.399 here in Cincinnati, that the President Donald Trump would give 270 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:24.480 an order immediately to shoot down foreigners dropping drugs and 271 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.399 god knows what else from drones penetrating American airspace. And 272 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.440 almost similar to what Biden allowed, happened. A big hot 273 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.759 air balloon from communists Red China floated across the country 274 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:39.720 and Biden did nothing. This is contrary to the Trump doctrine, 275 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:40.159 isn't it? 276 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.840 I would think so, I mean it goes back to 277 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:47.360 when Trump first got elected and those agents and soldiers 278 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:50.240 actually took on fire from the cartel on the Mexican side, 279 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.840 and the Trump administration actually didn't say a single thing, 280 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.519 and agents and law enforcement down you were actually pretty 281 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.039 frustrated that he didn't kind of go to bat for 282 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.360 them and go after Mexico for that issue. And that 283 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:03.840 was very early on. I believe that was back in February. 284 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:05.799 And so there have been a lot of things down 285 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.080 here regarding the cartel that the administration has kind of 286 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.120 made interesting moves on, and that includes not designating the 287 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.519 Warres in La Lenia cartel across from El Paso as 288 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.600 terrorists organizations. That is one of the most dangerous cities 289 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.799 on the planet. Warres as the top ten city for 290 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.720 the last decade, the most dangerous deadliest cities the planet, 291 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:29.480 Yet their cartels that are running their show are not 292 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:32.080 designated as terrorists and datie Vance couldn't give us an 293 00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:34.559 answer on that either, said, hey, we might designate them later. 294 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.000 And so there are lots of questions that people have 295 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:42.080 when it comes to the activity and come combativeness against 296 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:46.440 the cartel. What's the conversations with Mexico what behind closed 297 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.279 doors are you know, as being said, because a lot 298 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:52.919 of people are concerned that there's not enough done against 299 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.720 the cartel right now down here. 300 00:13:55.320 --> 00:14:00.399 Lastly, Alie Bradley, is there a sense the cartels, which 301 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:05.960 are multi multi billion dollar operations, run at least northern 302 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.039 Mexico and maybe all of Mexico. 303 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:13.159 I mean, I would say there's one hundred percent chance, 304 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:14.639 but that's the case. 305 00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:15.519 I mean, when we. 306 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.879 Were walking with the caravan, there were you know, twelve 307 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.440 MS thirteen gang members in my caravan. 308 00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:23.919 Alone that we were down in Tapapsula. There. 309 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:27.000 The cartel is present everywhere. You've got a Familia Mitchel 310 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.919 Kana down deep south. You've got all of these different 311 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.039 factions of the cartel. And then you have what is 312 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:36.039 directly across the southern border that continues to grow. You know, 313 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.759 you have CJND right across from where I am. You 314 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.360 have the Cartel de Golfo, you have Sinaloa. So all 315 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:47.080 of these different cartels are spreading their tentacles deeper into Mexico, 316 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:50.519 and the DEA and the DJ will even talk about that, 317 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.960 how much more powerful the cartels continue to get. Now, 318 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.080 the issue right now is they don't have a lot 319 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.919 of people that want to cross into the United States 320 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:00.440 and give them a lot of money because they're just 321 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:02.240 going to get turned back around and they have wasted 322 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:04.759 their money now, right, So the cartel is spending their 323 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.600 time right now growing and pivoting and yeah, fighting each 324 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.720 other for smuggling routes because those routes are a lot 325 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.879 more lucrative and valuable right now because they aren't able 326 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.000 to move as many people or products. So when they 327 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.039 do find a route that is not busted by law enforcement, 328 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:21.799 that does not camera routes, does not have issues for them, 329 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:23.879 they're going to battle over that route so that they 330 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.919 can use it to move their people and products nefariously 331 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.240 into the United States. So that's why they were wielding 332 00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:31.360 bombs on their drone. They were bombing each other, and 333 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:34.399 they were stealing each other's migrants and doing all these 334 00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:35.759 crazy things against each other. 335 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.799 But on the South side that has not led over. 336 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.120 Into the United States yet, but that is certainly a 337 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:42.320 factor that they need to. 338 00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:44.440 Make their money. That is their young guys. 339 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:46.960 Right, they were making, as I said, thirteen billion dollars 340 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.159 a year at the peak, and so do you think 341 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:51.559 they just gave up and said oh we're going we're dead. 342 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:52.799 We got the stock under the bag. 343 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:53.440 We're all right. 344 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.679 No, you know, so. 345 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:57.399 Everybody's kind of waiting to see, not if, but when 346 00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:59.600 they make a move here, so we'll see what happens, 347 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:00.120 you know. 348 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.840 Lastly, Ali Bradley of News Nation, it took about four 349 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.480 years to get into this mess. It's going to take 350 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:07.879 several years to get out of this mess. I saw 351 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.159 Home and Tom Holman the other day talk about this 352 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.440 is going to be a ten year process, and I 353 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.759 just hope we have time before something really ugly transpires. 354 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.440 But Ali Bradley of News Nation, you're the best of 355 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:21.120 what you do. You're not out of work. 356 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:21.360 Yet. 357 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:24.120 I was concerned Trump would be so successful you'd have 358 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:25.480 nothing negative to report on. 359 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:26.480 But that's not the case. 360 00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:31.440 But nonetheless, yeah, yeah, are you busier now than you've 361 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:34.759 been or less busy? 362 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:35.039 You know? 363 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.279 If I can be honest, and this is probably unpopular 364 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.000 to say, my job has gotten substantially harder under the 365 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.000 Trump administration. Because they want things to come out as 366 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:47.360 they want them to come out right. They want to say, 367 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.720 look we're doing this, Look we're doing this. Look this 368 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.399 is what you make America great again. So if we 369 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.679 scoop them on something, they don't like that. So right 370 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.360 now it's very hard to get information confirmed. My sources 371 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.519 are actually scared to leak information beause they don't want 372 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.080 to get polygrapht. So it's actually a little bit tighter 373 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:05.640 of a ship right now for me to do my job. 374 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:07.759 But I am doing my best. I am, you know, 375 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:10.160 kicking things around, seeing what I can find, talking to 376 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.519 my sources, talking to law enforcement as much as I can. 377 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:15.480 But access to things. I've gotten a lot more access 378 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.519 to border patrol, which is great. The border Patrol's not 379 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:20.880 seeing a lot of problems right now, right so there 380 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.079 are different things you have to figure out. The problem 381 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.000 is now in the interior, can't put toothpaste back in 382 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.119 the tube. But you know, eleven million people walked across 383 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.720 our border, and so that's the fight now is on 384 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:33.880 the interior, and I'm down on the south side of things, 385 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.440 and everything is a very close hold, and so I'm 386 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:39.519 doing my best, you know. But any tips anything like that, 387 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.000 Always appreciate it coming my way. 388 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:43.319 Ali Bradley, You're the best of what you do, and 389 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:45.720 thanks again for coming on The Bill Cunningham Show.
