welcome back America it's great to have our friend Senator Tom Cotton with us you know Senator Cotton your background is quite unique as far as politicians go you come out of a little state of Arkansas you served as a combat officer in Iraq and Afghanistan and you went to Harvard Law School and that's a very unique I think a very important background and you're what I would consider if not the number one one of the top foreign policy experts in the United States Senate if not the country and so I wanted to ask you some what I think are very very important questions about some very very important issues which are getting sloughed off by most of the media we have a wide open border people been warning about terrorists coming here and committing acts of terrorism senator and now we have a report that eight Isis operatives were captured in the United States that the FBI had done a surveillance operation on them eight of them in three cities LA Philadelphia and New York and this is great that they caught them but we have over 12 million people who've come into this country that we haven't properly vetted all over the country is the concern is this is potentially the tip of the iceberg and we're not going to always catch them mark there's no question that these eight potential terrorists are just the tip of the iceberg as you say more than 12 million illegal aliens have entered our country in less than four years under Joe Biden the FBI has been warning for months now about the threat of terrorism coming from our open border many of these potential terrorists are coming from Central Asia countries like Tajikistan or Uzbekistan that have deep terrorist groups and movements in them that their governments are battling against this is the origin of the terrorist attacks in Moscow a few weeks ago as well I'm glad that they caught these eight potential terrorists but again as you say it's just the tip of the iceberg we know that many more have crossed our border we know that many across the border without knowledge of the FBI or the border patrol and then perhaps most crazy of all as we've admitted all these illegal aliens over the last three plus years and many of them are now applying for asylum inside the country a protected legal status the Biden administration is still not doing thorough betting on them so we haven't only admitted them but we may give them protected legal status under our asylum laws without even checking if they have terrorist connections in their past or if they've been engaging in terrorist activities while they're in the United States it is a grave danger to the lives of Americans not over not overseas but here at home and you know senator we have these incidents that are popping up where illegal aliens are breaching military installations or they're they're monitoring them or one tried to drive into Quantico with a vehicle and so forth and so on this is going on all over the country here we have MS-13 has a strong foothold in this country now the most brutal murderous Venezuelan gang is now in the United States they have a foothold in the country the drug cartels are making billions of dollars inside the United States forced labor sex slavery fentanyl if you wanted to destroy the United States of American you're president the United States let's say wouldn't you do all the things that Joe Biden is doing to the country right now yeah Mark as president Trump always likes to say if you don't have a border you don't have a country because if you don't have a border if you open our border like Joe Biden did like he promised to do in the campaign and then acted on in office you invite all of this evil into our country cartels sex trafficking and human trafficking into the country running fentanyl into our streets terrorists from all around the world coming to our border to kill Americans it's all a direct result of Joe Biden's ideological open borders position in contrast to where president Trump had matters with a secure border protecting Americans and defending American sovereignty that's one of the many reasons why the American people think it's time for a change of direction as do I the senator cotton Joe Biden keeps using as a fig leaf this phony bipartisan bill where I think three Republican senators negotiated it in secret and the rest of you didn't know anything about it was dropped in your laps the house never supported it but he likes to call it bipartisan legislation that would have fixed this thing I read that legislation didn't fix a damn thing in fact the extra funding most of which went for administrative activities didn't even kick in until 2028 and they had a threshold number that was multiple thousands higher than it what is tolerable in terms of illegal immigration so he keeps using this this is the fig leaf he's going to use and if in fact we are attacked I can see he's gonna blame Republicans he's gonna blame president Trump how do you respond to that yeah Mark it's playing that Joe Biden didn't need legislation to act to secure our border because president Trump didn't need legislation to secure our border we had a secure safe border under president Trump Joe Biden is the one that promised in the campaign to open our border and what did he think would happen millions of people all around the world heard those promises they came to Mexico oftentimes conspiring with drug cartels to get across the border into our country not just to get jobs or unite with families but to bring in drugs and crime then Joe Biden had an executive order in which he purported to shut down the border but as you say he still allowed 75,000 illegal aliens to enter our country every month under that order with all kinds of loopholes as well I would say it's like closing the barn door after the horses left but it doesn't even close the barn door mark
