Tom Homan fires back at AOC over her border 'surge' comments

BRIAN: SHOCKING IMAGES FROM BRIAN: SHOCKING IMAGES FROM INSIDE A CRAMPED BORDER. THIS CAME THROUGH YESTERDAY. IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT, DON’T BLAME YOURSELF, IT JUST CAME OUT. >> THIS THE FACILITY IN DONNA, TEXAS, SHOWING MIGRANTS STACKED WALL-TO-WALL MANY UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN JUST SITTING THERE LAYING THERE WAITING TO BE PROCESSED. TEXAS CONGRESSMAN BRIAN BABIN AND RETIRED ACTING ICE DIRECTOR TOM HOMAN TOURED THE SOUTHERN BORDER TOGETHER. JAY JOINS US NOW TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY SAW BECAUSE THEY SAW A LOT MORE THAN JUST THESE IMAGES. CONGRESSMAN, YOU ARE NO STRANGER TO THIS AREA, WHAT WAS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS VISIT? >> WELL, IT’S OUT OF CONTROL. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IN SPITE OF WHAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS TELLING US, THIS IS NOT A CRISIS EVEN. IT’S JUST A CHALLENGE, ET CETERA. WE KNOW IT’S A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS NOT ONLY FOR THE MAKINGS THAT ARE COME IN. MY HEART WENT OUT TO SOME OF THESE CHILDREN IN A FACILITY THERE IN DONNA THAT SHOULD BE HOLDING 250 THEY HAVE 5700 PEOPLE STACKED IN THERE LIKE SARDINES. AND THEY JUST DON’T SEEM TO REALIZE WHAT IS GOING ON THERE. THE BORDER PATROL AS TOM WILL TELL YOU OR I THINK THE MORALE IS DOWN. THEY ARE DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB BUT THEY ARE BATTING WITH A SHORT STICK. AND THEN OPENING UP THE BORDERS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ABSOLUTELY CREATING THIS PROBLEM AND PUTTING AMERICANS IN DANGER AS WELL AS THESE MIGRANTS. AND THE STUNNING COST OF WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE. BRIAN: I KNOW. >> IT’S JUST UNBELIEVABLE, BRAIN. BRIAN: GETTING HOTELS, CONVERTING MILITARY BASES TAKING OVER CONVENTION CENTERS NOT EVEN TELLING THE GOVERNORS. TOM, IT TAKES A LOT TO RATIONALIZATION YOU FROM WHAT YOU SAW. WHERE DOES THIS RANK IN OUTRAGEOUS SCENES AT THE BORDER IN YOUR CAREER? >> IT’S THE WORST. BECAUSE THIS WAS TOTALLY PREVENTABLE. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, INCOMING ADMINISTRATION SAID IF YOU END THESE PROGRAMS, WE ARE GOING TO SEE A SURGE LIKE HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THEY WERE BRIEFED BY LEADERSHIP AT ICE, AT CBP. I TALKED TO PEOPLE THAT BRIEFED THEM. SO THEY KNEW THIS HAPPENED. BRIAN, JULY OF LAST YEAR SAYING THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT THE END OF THESE POLICIES. THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. AGAIN, THIS ISN’T INCOMPETENCE. THIS ISN’T BAD MANAGEMENT. THIS IS OPEN BORDERS. THEY DESIGNED AN OPEN BORDERS AGENDA AND THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE BORDER PATROL FEEL ABANDONED, THEY ARE NO LONGER ENFORCING THE LAW THEY ARE FACILITATING ILLEGAL ENTRY AT THE INSTRUCTION OF THE ADMINISTRATION. BRIAN: YOU WERE TELLING ME BEFORE THEY FEEL ABANDONED. YOU USED THE WORD SURGE. YOU OFFENDED A CONGRESSWOMAN FROM QUEENS ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ. HERE’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT. >> FIRST OF ALL, JUST GUT CHECK, STOP. ANYONE WHO IS USING THE TERM SURGE AROUND YOU, CONSCIOUSLY IS TRYING TO INVOKE A MILITARISTIC FRAME. THIS IS NOT A SURGE. THESE ARE CHILDREN AND THEY ARE NOT INSURGENTS. AND WE ARE NOT BEING INVADED. BRIAN: CONGRESSMAN, HOW DARE YOU INSULT HER BY USING THE WORD SURGE. >> WHERE IS SHE NOW, BRIAN? WHY ISN’T SHE DOWN HERE? I CAN TELL YOU LEADING THIS DELEGATION OF TEXAS CONGRESSMAN AND FORMER PROFESSIONALS IN THIS VERY BUSINESS, WE ACTUALLY ASKED AFTER VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS WAS GIVEN CHARGE OF THE BORDER SITUATION BY PRESIDENT BIDEN WE ACTUALLY INVITED HER. WE INVITED HER TO COME AND VISIT WITH US AT SOME OF THESE SPOTS ON OUR ITINERARY. WE HEARD NOTHING WHATSOEVER. AND ABSOLUTELY WHILE THIS ADMINISTRATION IS TELLING US TO CONTINUE TO WEAR MAVERICKS AND ONLY VISIT WITH JUST VERY FEW PEOPLE UP UNTIL JULY, THEY ARE STACKING PEOPLE WHO ARE COVID POSITIVE. BRIAN: UP. >>YUP.RELEASING THEM PUBLIC TO F ACROSS TEXAS AND THIS UNITED STATES IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC. THEY HAVE -- IT’S JUST HARD TO COMPREHEND HOW THEY CAN JUSTIFY THIS EXCEPT THAT I THINK THIS IS THEIR PLAN. THEY WANT OPEN BORDERS. THEY WANT AS MANY OF THESE PEOPLE TO COME IN AND GET ON GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AND BECOME VOTING CITIZENS OR AT LEAST VOTING, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE THAT WOULD COME AND CONTINUE THE DEMOCRAT MAJORITY. AND I THINK PEOPLE JUST NEED TO WAKE UP. AND IF IT WASN’T FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU, BRIAN, AND FOX NEWS THEY WOULD NOT BE GETTING THE TRUTH. THAT’S WHAT WE NEED IS THE TRUTH HERE. BRIAN: RIGHT. TOM, YOU INSULTED HER WHEN YOU USED THE WAR LIKE TERM SURGE. >> SHE NEEDS TO COME DOWN AND TALK TO THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO PUT THE UNIFORM ON EVERY DAY. BRIAN: SHE CAME DOWN WHEN TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT. >> ABSOLUTELY. BUT YOU HAVEN’T SEEN HER SINCE. LOOK, THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE BORDER PATROL SAY IT’S A SURGEON. THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE BORDER PATROL SAY IT’S A CRISIS. THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE BORDER PATROL KNOW AS PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID THAT THESE CARTELS ARE USING THESE CHILDREN AND FAMILY UNITS TO THROW THEM ACROSS THE BORDER AND TIE UP ASSET. 40% NO LONGER ON THE LINE. THESE CARTELS ARE MOVING DRUGS AND BAD PEOPLE THROUGH UNGUARDED AREAS. THIS IS A NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS. AND IF SHE CAN’T UNDERSTAND THAT OR ACCEPT THAT THEN SHE SHOULDN’T BE IN CONGRESS AT ALL. BRIAN: IT’S UNBELIEVABLE IS THE VICE PRESIDENT WAS GIVEN THIS PORTFOLIO CLEARLY BY THE PRESIDENT, SHE TAKES THE WEEKEND OFF AND SAYS I’M NOT GOING TO THE BORDER. I’M GOING TO THE ORIGIN OF WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. I DON’T KNOW, WHO IS MORE POWERFUL IN THAT ADMINISTRATION? IT’S HARD TO KNOW. I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING, BUT IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THAT WOULD BE -- YOU WOULD WANT THE JOB AND THEN NOT DO THE JOB.
