Speaker 1 (00:02):
Good evening, America, Welcome to this very special night of programming.
You are going to see something tonight that has never
happened on national television. The heroes who protected our border,
who laid their lives on the line day and night
during the wild West days of the Biden administration. They
tonight are going to be recognized and awarded for their
(00:23):
heroic efforts and for the families who you see behind me.
These folks suffered so much in those Biden years, so
much as a result of the violence and the chaos
and the destruction of an open border, and they are
going to learn tonight how their family members will be
remembered and memorialized. So from the Washington home of Just
the News and Real America's Voice, we are so delighted
(00:46):
that you are here to join us for the very
first annual American Border Heroes Award, presented by the American
Border Project.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared
a name emergency on our southern border, and I deployed
the US military and Border Patrol to repound the invasion
of our country.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
There's the ones that work, and they're effective, and why.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Did you have They've done.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
President Trump and our entire administration are grateful for the
courageous law enforcement officers who are putting their lives on
the line every single day to protect their fellow Americans
and to keep our country safe.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
While you're all sleeping at two three o'clock in the morning,
there are men and women out there in force in
law making this country safe again.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
We will never ever stop fighting violent crime.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
How many women and children aren't being sex traffic into
this nation. How many women aren't being sexually assaulted by
the cartels, how many known spectatorists aren't making into this country.
How many pounds of fat and aw isn't getting to
this country to kill young Americans.
Speaker 8 (02:00):
Ninety four percent decrease in encounters at the border, and
in February we had the lowest number of encounters in
the history of this country.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
We have the most secure border in the history of
this nation.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
That's just what you can do when you put the
brave men and women of law enforcement in one room
and get the hell out of their way.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Got a job they've all done.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Everybody, border patrol ice, the law enforcement in.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
General is incredible.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
We have to take care of our law.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Enforcement and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying
we needed new legislation, but it turned out that all
we really needed was a new president.
Speaker 9 (02:53):
The first Annual American Border Heroes Awards starts right now.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Good evening, America, and welcome to very special to not extravaganza.
The American Border hero Wards are unlike anything you've ever
seen on National TV. Tonight and tomorrow night, we begin
an annual right to make sure America never forgets the
ultimate sacrifices of Lake and Riley, Jocelyn Nungeren and Rachel
morn Or the courage or in conviction of the men
(03:27):
and women of the Border Patrol and Ice who worked
against impossible odds and obstacles for the last four years
to keep us safe. We're also going to celebrate the
extraordinary three month dash led by President Donald Trump and
Borders are Tom Homan to deliver the most secure border
in modern American history. In a second, I'd like to
introduce you to our partner for this very special event,
(03:48):
but before we do that, we think it'd be fitting
it begins such an extraordinary evening with a rendition of
our national anthem. My amazing co host Amanda Head has
a very special guest to help lead us in that
powerful song, Amanda.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Take excited to have her here. This is someone who
we in our sphere have known about for a very
long time, and she's an incredible performer. But as you said,
American Border Story does so much important work, and as
the name implies, they are telling the stories of people
whose stories really have not been told on such a
national stage. And I think it's direly important for those
(04:21):
stories to be told. And I'm delighted that that's going
to happen tonight. And I cannot think of a better
way to start tonight than with this perfect rendition of
the star spangled banner by country superstar Alexis Wilkins.
Speaker 10 (04:42):
Oh say, canny see by the downoly, what's so proudly
at the droi eyelight less gleaning whose broads to drive
(05:06):
sand bride stars.
Speaker 11 (05:09):
Through the pair rolls sphere or the race parts we
washed We're sol gag the leaves streeting.
Speaker 12 (05:26):
And the rock cat rag lest the bombs bursting gave
proof through the night that our flag was to Oh say,
(05:49):
does that star spangled.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Banda with.
Speaker 13 (06:00):
On on this.
Speaker 14 (06:03):
Of the Free.
Speaker 15 (06:10):
And the.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Bread God, bless y'all, Thank you, Alexis. That was all inspiring.
What a way to start this incredible night tonight. Now,
none of this celebration tonight would be possible without the
(06:37):
generosity and dedication of our partner tonight. The American Border
story for the last many years, TABS as it is known,
has told the stories that the legacy media refused to
tell and aided the victims and the frontline responders of
a border crist self made by the Biden administration. We
all know that. Allow me to introduce to you a
little more about this great organization with the screen video.
(06:58):
Take a watch.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I think it's no secret that the Biden administration failed us.
The lack of border control, the lack of securing our borders.
Speaker 10 (07:10):
This is a.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Result of that.
Speaker 13 (07:12):
Biden didn't care about drugs pouring into our country. Biden
didn't care about children being trafficked. He didn't care about anything.
Speaker 16 (07:28):
Now, they usually try to doctor it up, they call
it undocumented. I just call it illegal, because bottom line is,
if this gentleman wasn't in the country, my kid would
be here.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
A lot of anger and a lot of things.
Speaker 17 (07:42):
They don't want to stay on camera because they weren't good.
Speaker 16 (07:44):
Thoughts hopefully's in prison for a while and hopefully after
that he rots, and hell, I have no sympathy for.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Him, an absolute horror.
Speaker 14 (08:00):
We meet enforcements, we have the old terms than to
where city laws.
Speaker 10 (08:06):
But you know why that's not happening, because we have
a harbrible city council who is all progressive and they
support this stuff.
Speaker 13 (08:13):
And then he strangled her because he didn't want her
to be able to live to tell the story.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
And she's so much more than that, and that hasn't
been portrayed often.
Speaker 16 (08:30):
But I believe the presidents get rid of some of
the trash people that are troublemakers, felons, murderers, drug dealers.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Human traffickers, gang members, and other criminals from the streets
of dangerous cities. But we are getting them out and
getting them out fast.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
And now I will forever be a grieving mother, and
my son will forever be a grieving brother who will.
Speaker 14 (08:58):
No longer get to grow up with.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
His The illeg immigration is not a victimus crime. Okay,
So every sick person we take off the streets, especially
child rapist, it makes this country much safer.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
All the time.
Speaker 13 (09:24):
When my time comes, I would like somebody to remember
my son, to remember him on his birthday, to remember
him on his anniversary, on Father's Day, and bring him
a little flower on Christmas. That would mean a lot
to me because I don't want my son to have
died in vain.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Wow, very powerful, all right. Joining me now is the
founder and leader of the American Border Story, Nicole Kiploff. Nicole,
welcome and thanks for the opportunity to be a part
of this very special night. Tell us how it all.
Speaker 18 (10:11):
Started, well, John, we started the American Border Story to
tell the stories of the victims of illegal immigration and
the border crisis. Victims of rape and murder, ranchers living
in border communities whose livelihoods have been destroyed, people who
have been gravely injured in accidents because of illegal immigrants
(10:33):
receiving driver's licenses, hospitality industry workers deeply affected by this crisis,
victims of the fentanyl crisis, and many more. We tell
the stories of what happened to these victims and how
we even got here in the first place. But we also, John,
tell the stories of who the victims were and just
(10:54):
how much they contributed to the world before they were
tragically killed. We produce creative and documentary style content to
tell these powerful stories. Our phenomenal team at the American
Border Story is honored to host our first annual Border
Hero Awards to honor the heroes who have helped secure
(11:15):
the border, as well as the families of the victims,
many of them here tonight and tomorrow night. Thank you
for fighting for justice.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Thank you, Nicole Well a noble and fantastic mission. And
for all the families sitting out in the audience tonight,
thank you for turning grief into greatness, for doing what
you did to make this country see there was a
better path. You are the true heroes tonight, along with
the great men and women we're going to honor tonight.
All right, In a second, we're going to kick off
our discussion with a panel of law enforcement officials who
(11:44):
help clean up the Biden border mess. But before we
do that, let's go back out to Amanda for a
quick reaction from one of our guests.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Hey, John, Yes, Chris Bergard here from the audience. Documentary
filmmaker Chris, thank you so much for being here, and
thank you again all of you. I don't know if
I had a chance to say that.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Thanks for having it.
Speaker 19 (12:03):
It's like Old Home Week back here. You know, it's
so excited what y'all are doing. Two years ago, Tom.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Holm and I were on the border.
Speaker 19 (12:10):
In two days we saw more military personnel coming across
the border i'd seen eighteen years. We documented how Joe
Biden excuse me, helped start the largest child trafting organization
on the planet. We took that to Congress under Biden,
they did nothing. Now because of Tom Home and the President,
things are turning around.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I love it. Tell us about your documentary filmmaking.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh Man.
Speaker 19 (12:36):
Back in two thousand and five, I ended up on
the border and came back to tell the stories, and
Hollywood didn't want to hear that. They kicked me out
of Hollywood. So spent the next twenty years on and
off the border with the ranchers and law enforcement down there.
I've just been blessed. When we first did Border, we
played it for Congress and the Texas Sheriff's Boorder Coalition
(12:57):
game and said, hey, you put on film. Well, we've
been trying to tell DC and they're ignoring us. So
that was the beginning of relationship with them. Stuff like
you know, back when the Mexican military was working security
for the cartels and coming across.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
The border in Texas.
Speaker 19 (13:11):
No one was talking about it, you know, But you've
got men here tonight that have been fighting this for years.
And I think America is really lucky to meet these people.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Absolutely, and I can't wait to dive into so many
of these stories. Obviously, we wish that none of you
were here for the reason that you are here, but
we are delighted to bring recognition to your family members
and to bring remembrance to their stories. You brought up
the children who have been lost into the interior of
this country. Tell us about how that impacted you.
Speaker 19 (13:41):
You know, in the old days, when we're tracking bad
guys through the deserts or the pastors of South Texas,
usually they were caring dope narcotics. Now when you get
I mean, they're still bringing narcotics in, but it's kids.
And there was a gut punch two years ago down
on the river and run into a load kids they
were bringing over. And the woman that was bringing them over,
(14:03):
the coyote had just dropped them off, and she looked
at me and she just started crying because she's holding
this little baby and it's African baby. It's obviously not hers,
because she knows that I know what's going to happen
to that kid. And what people have to understand, this
is not by accident. Joe Biden, under him brought in
over half a million parentless children, half a million. One
of the first things they did when he got in
(14:24):
was they stopped doing the biometric DNA testing the prison.
Trump put in this was by design. These kids are
going back into trafficking because the last administration.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
The Biden administration, let that contract with that biotesting company expire,
and it was barely a blip on the radio with
the mainstream media, as was all of the hundreds of
thousands of children who were lost into the interior of
the country. But someone who was the first person to
sound that bell up on Capitol Hill, one of a
frequent guests on our program in a friend of the program,
(14:56):
Wisconsin Congressman Glenn Grothman, is in studio with us tonight
along with a whole host of other experts who are
going to be joining John on panels. John, why don't
you take it away seven minutes?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
All right, folks, what a what a great conversation. I
feel a little underdressed right now. Because I don't have
a badge or a cowboy hat or a sheriff's had
I should say, but I am surrounded by four heroes
of the front lines of the border crisis. We'll be
talking about life on the front lines for law enforcement offices,
(15:27):
what it was like four years ago, what it is
like now. I'm joined here on set by Border patrol. Oh,
I'm sorry, bye, let me get him here, so I
have a little bit of a thing. Panell County Sheriff
Mark Limb, thank you for having me. I appreciate it.
Always got to have you on from Texas. The golieat
County Sheriff Roy Boyd is here. Good to have you, sir,
Gray donord to have you here. Retired Santa Sino County
(15:49):
Sheriff Greg Capers, you're here, welcome, Thank you for your
great service and work. And down on my left to
my left ear Liberty County Constable Captain Brian Nichols, Good
to have you here, sir. All right, you guys, I
saw the last four years. You knew what it was like. Sure,
if you have been on many times on a show
you gave us those frontline reports in Arizona. How bad
was it at the height of the Biden crisis.
Speaker 20 (16:10):
Well, look, we were talking about this backstage. I don't
think we could even really tell the American people just
how bad it was, how violent the car tells, how
many women were being trafficked and raped, and how many
children were being trafficked in this country, men being extorted,
people being left for dead in the deserts. We tried
for four years to sound the alarm, and thankfully, I
(16:31):
think towards the end the American people somewhat heard that
message because we got some reprieve in President Trump and
this administration. So I thank you for having me on
all those times, because I think that if it wasn't
for the men that are up here today and so
many other great people, friends like Art de Queto from
Border Patrol, so many guys that have been saying what
(16:52):
needs to be said, And unfortunately it was probably a
lot worse than what we were even being able to
really show the American people because it was so violent
and awful.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Your constables, your deputy saw a lot of anythings that
we can even talk about. Schure Boyd, it's a lot
different right now. How quickly did it change after January
twentieth it changed drastically.
Speaker 21 (17:12):
And when we found was that once trub took office
and he assigned Mike Banks to be the chief of
Border Patrol, our ability to locate illegal aliens coming across
the border tried up extremely fat smuggling organizations that we
were investigating could no longer put together loads.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
As a result of the great.
Speaker 21 (17:31):
Work that the men and women of Board Patrol are doing,
and it has been a much welcome relief for US
in law enforcement and for the citizens due out South Texas.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I'm so lucky that you guys kept the front lines
protected during that whole time. Captain Nichols, I want to
turn to you for a second. People say, well, we
don't want to ever let this happen again. You are
on the front lines, you know what it's like. What
are the tools that Congress Washington need to give local
LA enforcement to make sure this never happens again.
Speaker 17 (17:58):
Empower local law for with immigration enforcement authority. We need that,
right Yes, sir, many departments are volunteering now and starting
to cooperate, But then there are some in those sanctuary
states and cities that can't engage you if they want to,
So federal legislation would.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Change that, wouldn't it. Yes, very good, that's awesome, Sheriff.
You know, truth telling is such an important part of this.
There were some in the media, some in politics that
didn't want people to see the truth. We got that
truth out there because every day men like you stood
up and said it's bad here, we need help. What
is the lesson that all of us in America need
(18:34):
to learn from when we're deceived about when we're told
the border secure and we know it's not. How do
we overcome that in the future.
Speaker 22 (18:40):
You know, I have no clue other than the media
needs to quit making up their own stories, their own
own lines to better themselves and better their their their
further advancement within the organization, if they would just get
back tell the truth. I've been down to the border
several times, was interviewed by a lady from California, and
(19:04):
what I had to tell her did not fit her storyline,
her what she was sitting down there for. So they
turned the cameras off and turned around and walking.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
If you capture something that's very true, we all know
it now. There's a defined narrative, and then you just
try to find facts to fit it. They don't want
to tell the truth. You all told the truth. The
men and women on the front lines, they've had a
rough four years. I know there's optimism now because the
law is coming back and the orders coming back. Resources sure,
if that you think surf land that you think need
to be made available to the frontline officers, what do
(19:35):
they need?
Speaker 20 (19:36):
Well, I think the federal government needs the assistance of
local law enforcement. I think that helps with the resources
on local law enforcement, we all could use a few
more deputies and a few more officers. That comes through
state legislations, making sure that that we continue to create
a good career and not just a job in law enforcement,
making people want to do the job. But we've got
to continue to allow our federal partners first and foremost
(19:58):
to do the job take the cuts off. That's what
President Trump and this administration is done. We're seeing those
effects already in local law enforcement. Like you said, in
most states where we don't have crazy states and governors
and city councils that have made it illegal, we're there
standing ready to help out. And this administration for the
first time is letting sheriffs back at the table, Unlike
(20:20):
the last administration where they went a whole They went
four years without meeting with a single sheriff.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
To my knowledge, that's amazing. It's mind numbing to you
even think about Captain. Real quickly, as you look out,
there's going to be moments ahead where negotiations with foreign
powers will be important. Mexico Canada. How important is it
to make sure our allies are right alongside our law
enforcement in this country. That's an excellent question.
Speaker 17 (20:44):
I think at the end of the day, that's really
above my pay grade as a local law enforcement officer.
But in a nutshell, if we don't have cooperation from
the foreign authorities to, for example, take these individuals back
into their home countries, then it's going to be difficult
to deport the millions of them that are currently in
our country.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I have no doubt about it. Sure boyd real quickly.
There are still a lot of people bad on the streets.
We're trying to get them off. They getting off quick
or I think sixty eighty thousand of them in the
last couple of months. What's the most important thing that
everyday Americans if they're living out and they see you body,
somebody they think might not belong there. What's the best
thing they can do to help you.
Speaker 21 (21:21):
They need to report that to law enforcement. But I'm
going to tell you right now that securing the border
is the easy part of this equation. It is securing
the domestic front that is a difficult part and no
offense to anybody. But we are not on track to
do that at this point in time. The number of
deportations do not match up to the number of people
that are in this country. And if we are going
to be successful, and we must leverage the full spectrum
(21:42):
of law enforcement, we must have local, state, federal, and
tribal coming together under one mission under this administration, and
we need to be working together to successfully secure the
interior the United States of America and deny the cartels
the logistical ability to continue to conduct their business in
a manner that generates some profit. The cartels are after money.
(22:03):
We need to take away their ability to make money
in the United States and they can go conduct their
business somewhere else. But we have to get on it.
Time is of the essence. We're running short on time.
We have not done what needs to be done so
far under this Trump administration. We have to step it up.
Everybody has to get to work, and it has to
be unified. So we must move forward with a different
(22:25):
methodology and a different mindset and get it done for
the benefit of the American people.
Speaker 20 (22:29):
And let the executive branch do the executive branch's.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Job and not a way judges or some judges in
the way right now. I think that'll get settled at
some point. Sheriff Caper's real quickly. There has been so
much discussion in Washington. We're going to get this done.
We're going to get resources to the congressman and lawmakers
watching tonight. What's the message you want them to hear.
What do you need from them in Congress next week?
Speaker 22 (22:51):
Well, we need more money, we need more personnel, we
need we need resources. You know, when you've got policemen
making twenty thousand in this department and one hundred and
fifty in this department, it's hard for the little departments
to get to get any of the good qualified personnel.
So maybe stipends or something that they could pass down
(23:12):
to the local agencies.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
That sounds like a good idea of men who know
what they're talking about because they've been on the front line.
They did out without a lot and made it happen.
We're so blessed by all of your work, your department's work,
the men and women that work under you. We are
forever grateful. Thank you for being here today.
Speaker 20 (23:28):
And can we just say one more thing. These are
the families too that are here tonight. They lost loved ones.
We as sheriffs and local law enforcement, we are the
ones that pick up the pieces of bad federal policies
and so and we just thank those families. Our heart
goes out for their sacrifice and for what they lost,
but we also thank them for being a voice for
border security.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
We tip our hat to them and you men as well.
You've done so much great work. Thanks for being with us.
Folks are going to take quicker mescial break, wan, come back.
We got another great panel for you, and later we'll
be presenting on American Border Hero Awards. First, guess you're
going to be surprised to see here. We'll have that
right after these commercial messages. Washington, DC.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
Welcome back to the first annual American Border Heroes Awards
right here on Real America's Voice.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I'm John Solomon, your host for the evening tonight. It's
time now for our second panel discussion, this one focused
on shaping future policy for US Safer American We have
some great guests for you from the halls of Congress.
Wisconsin Representative Glen Growthman is here. His work documenting how
the Biden administration lost track of not thousands, tens of
thousands of unaccompanied minor children that came into this country
(24:51):
without their parents was an epic moment of accountability in Washington.
Off it doesn't happen here, he did it. Also joining
us his retired old Man Security Investigation Supervisory Special Agent
Victor Revealer. Victor. Good to have you here, sir. From
the great state of Florida, Richard Mante, who is a
special counsel and state ride prosecuted with the Florida Attorney
General's Office, did some fantastic work with a grand jury.
(25:11):
We're going to get to that in a second. Good
to have you here today, sir. And finally rounding out
the panel is Art Arthur, the Center for Immigration Studies,
Resident Fellow in Law and Policy. Good to have here,
all right, Congressman, I want to start with you. You've
blessed our show many times by coming on it and
bringing real accountability, finding things the Biden administration told us
they had this under control when they let all those
(25:33):
accompany miners in. They lost track of them, didn't they. Well.
Speaker 23 (25:36):
Absolutely, and this is particularly horrifying for a party, the
Democrat Party, that said, oh, we we're the party of
keeping families together. When these young people came across the border,
frequently they had neither parent with them, or one parent,
rare to have both parents with them. So you're breaking
up families. And of course it's an invitation to wind
(25:58):
up having children off on their own, human trafficked in
dangerous working conditions. And the Biden administration didn't care. But
I can't emphasize how much it's important that now the
Trump administration step in one more mess that Donald Trump
has to clean up after Biden left office.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, elephants, sweeping job is big style. There's still a
lot of work, Victor. You're on the front lines for
a long time. Right now, there's a lot of progress.
But when I talk to men and women in the
border patrol and ice, they still need a lot of resources.
What's the most important thing Congress could do in the
next few months to get those resources flowing quicker?
Speaker 24 (26:35):
Ooh, that's a well, this list put the list out.
We need funding, we need manpower, we need technology, we
need infrastructure, We need an array of things. And one
of the shares what he said is the cooperation with
the state and the locals. The two eighty seven G
program probably right now is the most important. Just like
what Florida is doing. We need that done in every
(26:58):
single state. Because a local know what's going on in
their communities. We need those that joint effort. Then you're
going to see the bigger numbers of apprehensions and detections
and deportations as well.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, so important. And boy, that's sewing together of local
and federal law enforcement. It is a powerful too when
it works, when it's allowed to work, which is an
important part. Richard. You did something really fascinating, and that
is that you were looking and using a state grand
jury to kind of look at the larger system. And
there's still components of that system that are operating. There
are nonprofits that really are involved in human trafficking. They
(27:33):
make this all possible. Tell us what you found and
what things still need to be addressed.
Speaker 15 (27:38):
Well, the grand jury that did convene down in Florida,
their very top line recommendation was convene another one to
look into these NGOs. They are making hundreds of millions
and into the billions of dollars off of this industry.
I mean, it's essentially a funneling of a pass through
for trafficking organizations. Some of them are very well aware
(27:59):
of that fact and just don't care, and some are
just simply trying to do their jobs. But you know,
it doesn't really matter. Why if there's if there is,
if there's mischief in what's going on, it needs to
be corrected, and they aren't interested in doing that. So
the grand jury thought very long and hard about going
after some of these individuals and said simply ran out
of time. They were only convened for an eighteen month period,
(28:20):
that's the way the law is written.
Speaker 9 (28:22):
Couldn't go beyond that.
Speaker 15 (28:23):
And so their big request was, hey Governor, Hey Supreme Court,
do us another favor. Go after these people.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
You created an extraordinary road. Now it's a big business.
I mean, people make careers out of this sort of
getting people into the country and caring for right.
Speaker 15 (28:36):
The grant funding is astonishing and it's all of course
paid for by taxpayer money. That's just funneled through the
Department of Health and Human Services primarily, and Secretary Kennedy
just brought that up, actually, I think yesterday pointed it out.
Is exactly what's going on. And oh, by the way,
the executives and the people running these things, if you
pull their for nine nineties, it's amazing the salaries they're
(28:58):
getting for essentially going ahead and just handing money over
to their friends.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
It's just insane. A right, a lot of people looking
and saying, hey, the courts of Donald Trump was elected
to fix this problem. The Court's seem to be dripping
them up at every step. Does Congress need to change
some laws so that Supreme Court knows exactly what Congress's
intent is?
Speaker 8 (29:17):
Absolutely, I mean one of the big canards, though, John
of the Biden administration was that we need we need
more laws in order to out here the border. And
you know, we heard exactly we heard, you know, Secretary
Nome say that apprehensions are down ninety four percent. She
actually understated that it's ninety five percent. And we don't
(29:38):
really have good records, but it's probably the lowest number
of people who have ever come into American history across
that border. So Congress really just needs to tighten the laws,
give the court some direction, take away some other jurisdiction.
I was involved in a court stripping effort, as we
called it, back in two thousand and five.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
But you know, funding is really the key.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
The thing that Congress really needs to do now, as
Victor had said before, was we need more judges, we
need more detention space, we need more agents, we need
more agents on the line. Congress can do all that,
and the American people support more funding for this. But yeah,
when it comes to the courts, it's galling. It's a process.
(30:23):
Donald Trump knows it's a process. That's why he started early.
It is in his term, so that he can get
all the way up to the Supreme Court, get the
impediments out of the way, and get the American people safe.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Some of those classes were intentional just to get him
to the high crest. Absolutely, Congressman, you've been saying for
a long time we didn't need more laws. We just
needed a president who would enforce him. But there are
things that Congress is going to do in that big
beautiful bill that President Trump talks about. What do you
think is top of line.
Speaker 23 (30:48):
Well, there are a lot of things we'll try to
get in there. Obviously, he's done the big thing in
the first place. When you talk about all the young
people coming, you just got to close the border, and
the solves the problem. But we do a lot of
young people here we've lost track of. We have to
track down those people. We have to find out where
their parents are. And let's not forget the Democrats supposedly
(31:10):
say we're for keeping a family together. We do not
want to have a situation in which little Johnny is
here with mom, but dad is back in Guatemala any
more than in this country. If a couple gets divorced,
you have two parents fire apart. So we really have
to make sure that if we take a new family here,
it's the entire family, and the United States of America
(31:32):
is not causing a broken family by who we let.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
In so important, I think there was a big moment.
The President promised it on the campaign trail. He delivered
it right away. We have declared that the drug cartels
that bring all that poison into this country and poison
our children with China's help, are now considered terrorist organizations.
When you see that, what tools does that open up
and what things might Americas not be ready to see
that this president might do to take those cartels out.
Speaker 24 (31:56):
Well, that was a great move by President Trump that
we've been a waiting for a long time. I've been
advocating for that designation of these cartels and I love
that list that came out of the nine cartels that
married them Threnderawa. By the way, it is a terrorist organization.
MS thirteen is a terrorist organization, but what it does
is certain things. The first thing that does is that
we get to go after the assets, the money, the properties,
(32:18):
everything that these groups are getting illicitly. Second, it's you're
already seeing it is a DoD resources joining with DHS.
You're seeing them active duty military at our border right now.
I just came back from Opasso. They're there, they're present,
and there's gonna be some other activity with a military.
They're moving Mexico, believe it or not, is cooperating. They
(32:38):
might not say it in front of the camera, but
behind the cameras and they're allowing because they don't want
to see the tariffs. They don't want to be hurt
by other political decisions that Trump will make. But the
designation of the cartels is the game changer. We now
get to take them out and treat them just like
isis just like the Taliban. This is how I think
(32:58):
the American people need to start think.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Think.
Speaker 24 (33:00):
You know, the cart sells because I tell them all
the time, it's not just a guy in cowboy boots
and a cowboy hat. This is a person in the
United States that looks like you and me. There's contents, doctors,
and different types of people that they have because they
have an incredible system of especially intelligence within the US
and sixty five countries around the world. These are sophisticated
(33:22):
corporations and we must recognize them that way in order
to take them down.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
They run like multinational corporations. Gentlemen, each of you played
such an important role. Congressman, we can't thank you enough
for all the times you came on and educated the
summer last year. But each of you have made such
an extraordinary contribution. What Florida's done. I think the whole
country oways Florida and Texas at debt of gratitude for
the last four years of contribution. But great to have
this conversation. We're bumping up on a commercial break. We'll
be right back, folks when we come back. I got
(33:47):
a special guest here, Yeah, you know it is. It's
Tom Homan. The Borders Are. We got a special message
in a special plot to building right after these messages
here from Washington, d C.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
Welcome back to the first Annual American Border Heroes Awards.
Right here on Real America's Voice.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Ooks, Welcome back to our first Annual American Heroes Award.
I'm John Solomon. I'm joined by Nicole Kipluff, the founder
of The American Border Story, which is sponsoring tonight's awards,
and came up with this great idea. When we started
talking about this, there was one name that unanimously came
up time and time again, no matter who we talked to.
(34:35):
He I have been able to watch his career as
a young reporter, growing up all through in law enforcement,
whether he was running ICE or now inside the White
House running the entire Trump strategy for cleaning up Biden's
border mess. He's our borders are. He's an American hero.
He's a good friend, and he gets stuff done. He
is our good friend. Tom home and Tom, welcome, Thanks
(34:55):
for having me. Well you didn't know this because we
knew if we telled you wouldn't, okay, And so that's
why we didn't tell you. You are going to be
the very first winner of the American Border Hero Award.
You deserve it for your vision, your work, your messaging.
You educated us all and you told all the people
who were lying they were lying right to their faces.
We're lucky to have you in this country. I know
(35:17):
your work is still long, but we want to at
least recognize that Nicole as a little black to just
say thank you for what you've done.
Speaker 18 (35:22):
Sir, congratulations, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
I appreciate that your something else. You're working twenty four
to seven, about twenty three, twenty four hours, you get
a red bull probably for an hour sleep in between.
Where are we in the fight?
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Well, first of all, I appreciate it's a great honor,
but it's really about the men and women were in
the uniform. It's about the men and women bring us
board patrols, stand on that line every night. It's about
the men and women ice who strapag under hip every day.
So I'll take this and recognition of them, but they're
the heroes, together with the greatest president of my lifetime,
Donald Trump, who let us do what we do so look,
(36:03):
I'm busy. I mean since inauguration, I think I've had
three days off. I was with the President just before
I came here. He's not gonna give me a day
off anytime soon. But we're great. We got the most
secure border in history of the nation today and the
data proves it, there's no question.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Right.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
So I knew when we came back, we knew the secret, right,
we had the recipe. We had great success in Trump
forty five, but we beat the hell out of that.
I mean, the numbers right now, I say the best
in the history of the nation on the border. Inter
re enforcement were about three times the criminal amiens arrested
(36:41):
in three months that Joe Biden did in the year.
So we're kicking a lot of butt there. And the children,
there's three hundred thousand missing children. Were working hard at
that already, about five thousand found really rescued, and some
of these were relative but some weren't. Somewhere in forced labors.
(37:01):
So that's the three legs. When President Trump called me,
says security border, run a deportation operation and find these kids.
So one's done, pretty much done. Two we're making good strikes.
Three is the most difficult because children are hard to find.
I mean they don't have a footprint. You have a car,
I have a car. We all have a digital footprint,
whether it's you own a car, you're own a home,
(37:22):
you have credit cards, We can find us, but children
you can't find. They don't have a digital footprint. So
we got to count on digital footprint the sponsors. But
last administration they didn't vet the sponsors properly. They didn't
fingerprint a lot of sponsors. So this is a hard
job the children, but we're not going to rest. So
every single one of them has found and rest.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
And I know those children really matter to President Trump.
He said it to me personally. Have you found many
in danger? I mean some are in dangerous situations when
you found them?
Speaker 7 (37:46):
Right?
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Yes, yes, And not only not only we committed to
finding them, we're committed to helping them because you know,
it's gonna be physical abuse, it's gonna be mental abuse.
So we got to help them getting back to their families.
But President Trump's committed to this. I mean the left
ones to keep attacking us for what they call Trump's
family separation. Well, you know, families were separated because parents
(38:07):
were prosecuted the same thing happened to us physician families
every day. But they won't talk about the half a
million kids that were smuggling this country putting hands of
criminal cartels. I mean, I leave my kid in the
car and go get groceries. I'll get arrested, But you
can put your kid in the hands of criminal cartels
to who knows what the hell happened to them during
that journey. So we're gonna holp people accountable and we're
gonna find these kids. President Trump's committed to it. We're
(38:28):
gonna make sure that happens.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Yeah, I know both of you are. I've seen you
work day in and day out. The bigger job is
getting eleven twenty million somewhere between that out of this country.
Everybody know that's going to take some time. What do
you still need? What do you need from Congress? People?
Speaker 6 (38:44):
Congress needs to get also asked give us some money
we need, right And I'm not just talking about Democrats either.
I mean President Trump was selected by American people over
one way, and there's number one issues securing the border
and running this deportation operation.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
We're doing great with the money we have.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
We can do a hell a lot more.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
If we need money by beds.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
We need money for transportation, We need money for more officers.
We need money for more contract personnel to come in
and do jobs that doesn't require badging gun. We got
badges and guns doing administrative jobs they shouldn't be doing.
We need them on the street. So we need Congress
to step up and give us some money. We need
to get this done. The more money we have, the
more successful we're going to be. And look, we got
over seven hundred thousand illegal animals or criminal convictions walking
(39:24):
the streets of America that we need money, more boots
on the ground to rest these people.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Yeah, twelve hundred terrorists. That number came out the other day.
Of twelve hundreds that we know are in the gun,
and I gott knows how many aren't on the ground.
The folks in the local law enforcement who partner with
all of your great men and women in ice and
border patrol, how important are they to your missions? Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (39:44):
The sheriffs. Sheriffs are the finance of the finance man.
I got relationships with great sheriffs, not twenty chiefs the police,
but the sheriffs. The sheriffs are stone cold partners. It's
the state of Florida. Look, I've given the government census
shout out. I mean, we just did in an operation
in Florida, got over one thousand arrests and he had
(40:04):
his two eighty seven G people out there. He had
the National Guard to eighty seven G people out of there.
Texas is a great partner. We had a lot of
great partners. But the sheriffs, I mean they're America sheriffs
and most of them, I would say ninety percent of them,
they're in the fight with us. And I saw a
couple outside there there, you know, been in the fight
from day one. So we got to count on sheriff's partnership,
(40:24):
and we got to count on the sheriff's helpings with beds. Right,
a lot of these guys run jails. Their beds are
relatively cheap compared to you know, other beds. Most expensive
beds we have is when we owned right preverate government
doesn't doesn't do anything cheap. And I made a commitment
to the sheriffs that you know, it used to be
we had a certain under under previous administration, you got
(40:45):
a certain level detention standards that are very expensive. You
know we're doing things for illego anmas, we don't do
a few US citizens. So a lot of sheriffs did not,
you know, want to get in a contract with US
for beds because they couldn't afford the standards we had.
So the sheriff's always told me, why would I give
these standards to illegal alien if I don't give them
standards to US citizen. So I made a comitment to
the sheriffs, you know, first weekend administration, that we'll do
(41:08):
contracts with shares and their detention standards are good enough
for us, and they're good enough for US citizen in
that jail. They're good enough for So that's go open
the door to more beds that we need at a
reasonable cost. So, you know, sheriffs are great partners.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Sure, they've got a great compass center at the top
of this administration and the leader of this you You
work tired. Let's say, I've never seen anyone work harder
than you. We couldn't have done this with I know
a lot of work I had, But tonight we really
honor you for what you do and all the men
and women you represent around this country.
Speaker 6 (41:37):
Thank you, God, bless the men and women of the
board too. God bless the men and win advice. I
was lucky. I was a border of religion. I wore
that uniform. I was a nice agent. I know how
hard these women and women work, and I tell you,
I keep saying that they're taking a lot of hate
right now. But you know what, while you and I
are sleeping tonight at three a m. There's a border
of religion standing on a dirt trail someplace. Well, I'm
gonna take it on. Center goes off. They don't know
(41:59):
if it's just an illegal and look for a better life.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
They don't know.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
Heavily armed rug smoker. We're gonna stand there taking on
the men and women in ICE are knocking on doors
across this country because we can't rest the public safety
threatened to jail because sanctuary cities. Now that I'll go
wrestle on his turf. We have access to who loans
what weapons. So you know, I wish everybody's watching this
show a night. You know, hit your knees tonight and
pray for the safety of these men and women in
the board up to an Ice because they're American heroes
(42:23):
and they got a tough job a dangerous job, but
we need.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Them, we sure do, and they are an American heroes.
You said it so much, sir. We know you've got
to get back to work. We're gonna let you go.
In a second. We have another word to give for
local law enforcement. Tell us Nicole what we're doing.
Speaker 18 (42:38):
So first of all, I just want to say you're
doing God's work, mister Homan, and I love how you
talked about the importance of local law enforcement such a
critical part of securing our border. God bless you, sir.
Speaking of local law enforcement, it is my absolute honor
to present our next award, our next Border hero Ward,
to Kieran Donahue. Kieranue is the eighty fourth President of
(43:02):
the National Sheriff's Association. Sheriff Donahue leads an association of
over three thousand sheriffs nationwide in their efforts to secure
the border and keep this country safe. Now accepting this
award on behalf of Sheriff Donahue and sheriff's nationwide all
over this country doing God's work is Sheriff Mark Lamb,
(43:25):
who has years of law enforcement experience, serving on the
front lines local law enforcement as our borders are just
said is a critical aspect of securing our border. So
thank you to Sheriff Donahue and Sheriff Lamb, who is
again accepting the award on behalf of Sheriff Donahue, for
doing God's work and risking your lives every single day
(43:49):
to keep Americans safe.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Sheriff lam you might not remember this, but in twenty seventeen,
that was my first trip down to the border, and
you gave an absolute masterclass a group of journalists, some
of them not really wanting to hear what you had
to say, but everybody was devastating. You've been in this
fight for so long. This is a very well deserved award.
Speaker 20 (44:08):
Well, thank you, and I'm accepting. I'm honored to be
accepting on behalf of Sharon Kieran Donahue, the president of
the NSA, and all the sheriffs across this country. But
really the tribute goes much like what Tom Homan just said.
The tribute goes to the men and women who put
on the badge every day that are going out and
protecting our streets, that are protecting the families that you
see here sitting hit tonight, These angel families, people who
(44:31):
have lost loved ones. The men and women that put
on this badge every day are going out and.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
That's what drives them. That's the purpose.
Speaker 20 (44:38):
And we have said in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas,
we have said, what happens in our backyard will be
in your front yard tomorrow. And sheriffs across this country
saw that over the last four years and they did
a great job. So the men and women deserve this
and I'm honored to accept it on behalf of Sharon
Kieran Donahue. I talked to him today. He said, and
(45:00):
one last thing. We are citizens of our counties as well.
Many of us have experienced the effects personally, not just
as citizens, but as sheriffs. You know, whether it's fentanel
in our families, deaths in our families. So we feel
for these families and that's why we do what we
do every day. And we're thankful for partnerships with men
like Tom Homan, President Trump and this administration, thank you
(45:23):
for their efforts as well.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Thank God, Melsa, and I love what Tom said, the
simplicity of they are America's sheriffs. Their reputation precedes then
the men and women of law enforcement who put their
lives on the line every single day, the toughest in
the world. John, I know you've got another award over there.
Speaker 3 (45:40):
And he's a familiar face without in the last four years,
would not have been possible tonight, He's a winner of
the Messenger Award. This word goes out to a man
who has continually kept the truth in the public eye
in supportive border security and for his brothers and sisters.
I'm the Border Patrol. He's my good friend. He's the
vice president of the National Border Patrol. Consul Art Delquedor
Art congradulates, say you are the Messenger. Wow, thank you
(46:04):
so much.
Speaker 25 (46:04):
This is This means a lot, and I'm gonna tell
you it means a lot because you know, I've been
out there on that line for a long time, through
several administrations, making sure that the voice of the agents
has heard. I put it all the time on my
social media. I always say agents voices must be heard.
But it's it's a continued dedication of programs and individuals
like you that help us get that voice out. It's
(46:25):
I would be I wouldn't get any of this if
it wasn't for for the boots on the ground and
my heroes in Green I grew up on the border.
I've been there my whole life and i remember being
a child and watching Border Patrol agents and they were
my heroes.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
And I'm blessed enough to.
Speaker 25 (46:39):
Have worn the uniform and be part of it, so
being the messenger, and I got an award from them
just recently that said the voice of the Agents. These
things been a lot to me. It's a really a
big deal. So and I'm thank thank you for having
me on here, you know, and seeing all the great
group of guys that you got together.
Speaker 3 (46:55):
When you walk people, they recognize you instantly because you
are the truth teller. When to buy, the administration was
lying to us. You were telling us the truth.
Speaker 25 (47:03):
Absolutely, and I'll continue to do so at the end
of the day. You know, it's about the agents. I'm
trying to make sure that they're taking care of, you know,
the messages and over. We got to continue pushing it forward.
We've got to let people know what's really going on.
We got to defend these agents. You know, there's some
issues that are going on back and forth right now
with some of their retirement. We've got to make sure
that that's taken care of, because you know, they've been
on the front line, put their next out on the line.
(47:23):
We need to make sure they continue to be taken
care of moving forward. It was good seeing Tom Holman,
and he's got the Secret Service with him.
Speaker 5 (47:30):
I have.
Speaker 25 (47:31):
I'm hanging out with Mark Lamb, so I don't need
to see protection. Yeah, if you hang out with Flab,
you're good to go.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
You don't really need secret Service. We've been in your
good hands for the last five years. Our congratulation, Thank
you for thank you, Thank you so much. I appreciate
you than God. Bless you. All Right, Nicole, we've got
one more to go. This one's especial to me because
Tom Holman said it. None of this happens without the
men and women in the front line. We want to
honor everyone. Don't wait tonight in the order, so tell.
Speaker 18 (47:59):
Us about John. Our final award of the night is
a very special award called the Javier Vega Junior Award.
Now we at the American Border Story decided to name
this award in honor of Javier Vega Junior, an agent
of the United States Border Patrol who was tragically killed
by an legal immigrant in Texas in twenty fourteen. Javier
(48:22):
Vega Junior served this country with courage, honor, and incredible
integrity and love with us. Tonight we have Maria Herreravega.
I've gotten to know her over the past few hours.
She's an incredible woman. She's Javier's mother, and she's going
to accept this award on behalf of all Border Patrol
agents and their families nationwide. Maria, please consider this a
(48:45):
very small token of our gratitude to your family and
your son for everything that he did to protect the
people of this country, making the ultimate sacrifice. We carry
his story in our hearts and we never forget sacrifice
that your son made. Maria is now standing by with
Amanda out in the audience.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
Maria, I know a lot of people here know your
son's story, but I think one of the most important
aspects of tonight is telling the stories. Tell us about
how you.
Speaker 14 (49:17):
Okay. So, he was a very amazing young man. We
did our best trying to raise him correctly, teaching him
right from wrong, and from a very young age, she
expressed a love for law enforcement the military, which some
(49:38):
of you know that as soon as he graduated from
high school, he went into the Marine Corps. He did
his four year term, got out, was going to school
full time and working full time as well. He loved
what he did, and it's it's kind of hard for
(50:02):
my family and I to see what's going on because
I can't just get it through my hit. How can
anyone defend illegal aliens? What about the American people? Why
aren't we a priority? And as long as I'm alive,
(50:28):
I'm gonna be a voice for my son and for
all the angel families who lost a child.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
You know your son was courageous, but you are too
speaking out talking about his story, never letting that go.
He may not be a priority to past administrations, but
he's a priority to this administration. And he's a priority
here tonight and to all of us here. So thank
you for your son's service.
Speaker 14 (50:54):
Thank you to the American border story. And on behalf
of my family, my husband who's here in the audience,
thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
For this award, John and Nicole.
Speaker 14 (51:06):
Back to you, Maria, thank you for giving.
Speaker 3 (51:09):
Me me the grace the curach your family showed. I
grew up in a family of cops, and I know
hart is to lose one of the brethren. Your family
showed how resilient all the border Border Patrol families are.
Thank you for being with us, Stunt. It's such a
great honor. All right, folks, we just got a few
minutes that we have a great conversation tomorrow. But there's
a special message we want to bring in from one
(51:30):
of my close friends. He's the FBI director, but long
before he became the FBI director, he was on the
front lines, comforting families, prosecuting crimes, making sure there's stories
of victims were never lost. He's my good friend, Cash Bttel,
and he has a few words to say. He sent
him right in just a little bit ago.
Speaker 7 (51:47):
Hi everyone, I'm Cashptel and I'm honored to be the
ninth director of the FBI. I wish I could be
there with you in person today, but I wanted to
make sure and send a video message to thank you
for everything you are doing to fight for a sat
future for America. When we talk about angel families, we're
often remembering the young victims of senseless tragedies at the
hands of illegal immigrants, and we should and at the
(52:10):
same time, you all are angels too, because you are
out there on the front lines, standing up for what's
right every day and fighting to defend the families of others.
No one should ever have to go through what you
have to, And thanks to the policies of this administration,
our Department of Justice, and law enforcement across this great land,
we are working each and every day to make sure
(52:31):
what happened to you never happens again in this country.
I'm proud to say that since I was sworn in
as the FBI Director, our FBI has undertaken historic efforts
to step in the arena of immigration enforcement and join
with our inneragency partners to get violent criminals off American streets.
And just two months in, We've already seen some monumental success.
(52:53):
Since President Trump's inauguration, the FBI has conducted over six
thousand joint operation arrest and arrested well over five hundred
violent gang members from neighborhoods across this country. We're seizing
deadly drugs and taking them off the streets, including a
recent operation in Florida where we seees nearly fifty thousand
pounds of illicit narcotics worth over five hundred million dollars.
(53:15):
Operations like this one will break the cartels and make
America safer. All of this starts with each of you
and the brave work you are doing to stand up
for what's right in this country. I'll leave you with this.
Under the leadership of this administration, your FBI will never
stop fighting for you. We will work each and every
day to make sure your work and the lives of
(53:35):
your loved ones are not in vain. Thank you for
what you do, and God bless you.
Speaker 3 (53:47):
You're pedal Prosecutor, Chief Counsel of the House Intelligence Committee.
You've been protecting us all right, Nicole, this has been
an extraordinary night. We got another night tomorrow. Today it
was about honoring the men and women on the front lines.
Tomorrow we honor the families who's turned grievances and pain
and suffering into extraordinary opportunity for this country. Tell us
what we can expect tomorrow, you.
Speaker 18 (54:06):
Know, John, First, I just want to say the reason
why these incredible people are the most deserving to receive
these awards is because they're not looking for awards. They're
not looking for the spotlight, they're not looking for attention.
They're just doing what's right. They're looking for justice, and
the families are looking to tell their stories in the
midst of this incredible, gut wrenching turmoil, because they want
(54:30):
to ensure that this never happens again. And we're going
to hear exactly how these families Tomorrow, we'll hear from
all of them. We have twenty one family members here,
angel families who have lost loved ones, and we're going
to hear how they have turned their grief, the most difficult,
darkest moments in their lives, into purpose and fighting for
(54:51):
this country. I can't think of anything more honorable than that.
Speaker 3 (54:54):
I agree with you. I've been surrounded all day by
heroes and I've just been numb the entire day. It's
such a re markable thing. And we got another day tomorrow, folks,
be sure to tune in. There are some important names
you all remember. Tomorrow. We're gonna make sure America never
forgets their names. With the great Generossi and hard work
of Nicole and her team, we are going to create
(55:14):
scholarships in honor of some pretty extraordinary Americans. You know them.
We're gonna say their names often, we will not forget them,
we will honor them, and we're gonna have your opportunity
to sit and get to meet their family members, their
loved ones, hear their stories what they still need to
get through the crisis that has been upon them. For tonight,
I want to thank everyone watching in the audience. There
(55:35):
is an extraordinary role that all of you play too
on election Day. You help close the border too, and
for that we're grateful on behalf of Real America's Voice
on behalf of tabs who made this night so powerful Tonight,
the American Border Story and Justin News thank you for watching.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow night Day two of
this extraordinary night,
Good evening, America, Welcome to this very special night of programming.
You are going to see something tonight that has never
happened on national television. The heroes who protected our border,
who laid their lives on the line day and night
during the wild West days of the Biden administration. They
tonight are going to be recognized and awarded for their
(00:23):
heroic efforts and for the families who you see behind me.
These folks suffered so much in those Biden years, so
much as a result of the violence and the chaos
and the destruction of an open border, and they are
going to learn tonight how their family members will be
remembered and memorialized. So from the Washington home of Just
the News and Real America's Voice, we are so delighted
(00:46):
that you are here to join us for the very
first annual American Border Heroes Award, presented by the American
Border Project.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared
a name emergency on our southern border, and I deployed
the US military and Border Patrol to repound the invasion
of our country.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
There's the ones that work, and they're effective, and why.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Did you have They've done.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
President Trump and our entire administration are grateful for the
courageous law enforcement officers who are putting their lives on
the line every single day to protect their fellow Americans
and to keep our country safe.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
While you're all sleeping at two three o'clock in the morning,
there are men and women out there in force in
law making this country safe again.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
We will never ever stop fighting violent crime.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
How many women and children aren't being sex traffic into
this nation. How many women aren't being sexually assaulted by
the cartels, how many known spectatorists aren't making into this country.
How many pounds of fat and aw isn't getting to
this country to kill young Americans.
Speaker 8 (02:00):
Ninety four percent decrease in encounters at the border, and
in February we had the lowest number of encounters in
the history of this country.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
We have the most secure border in the history of
this nation.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
That's just what you can do when you put the
brave men and women of law enforcement in one room
and get the hell out of their way.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Got a job they've all done.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Everybody, border patrol ice, the law enforcement in.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
General is incredible.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
We have to take care of our law.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Enforcement and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying
we needed new legislation, but it turned out that all
we really needed was a new president.
Speaker 9 (02:53):
The first Annual American Border Heroes Awards starts right now.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Good evening, America, and welcome to very special to not extravaganza.
The American Border hero Wards are unlike anything you've ever
seen on National TV. Tonight and tomorrow night, we begin
an annual right to make sure America never forgets the
ultimate sacrifices of Lake and Riley, Jocelyn Nungeren and Rachel
morn Or the courage or in conviction of the men
(03:27):
and women of the Border Patrol and Ice who worked
against impossible odds and obstacles for the last four years
to keep us safe. We're also going to celebrate the
extraordinary three month dash led by President Donald Trump and
Borders are Tom Homan to deliver the most secure border
in modern American history. In a second, I'd like to
introduce you to our partner for this very special event,
(03:48):
but before we do that, we think it'd be fitting
it begins such an extraordinary evening with a rendition of
our national anthem. My amazing co host Amanda Head has
a very special guest to help lead us in that
powerful song, Amanda.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Take excited to have her here. This is someone who
we in our sphere have known about for a very
long time, and she's an incredible performer. But as you said,
American Border Story does so much important work, and as
the name implies, they are telling the stories of people
whose stories really have not been told on such a
national stage. And I think it's direly important for those
(04:21):
stories to be told. And I'm delighted that that's going
to happen tonight. And I cannot think of a better
way to start tonight than with this perfect rendition of
the star spangled banner by country superstar Alexis Wilkins.
Speaker 10 (04:42):
Oh say, canny see by the downoly, what's so proudly
at the droi eyelight less gleaning whose broads to drive
(05:06):
sand bride stars.
Speaker 11 (05:09):
Through the pair rolls sphere or the race parts we
washed We're sol gag the leaves streeting.
Speaker 12 (05:26):
And the rock cat rag lest the bombs bursting gave
proof through the night that our flag was to Oh say,
(05:49):
does that star spangled.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Banda with.
Speaker 13 (06:00):
On on this.
Speaker 14 (06:03):
Of the Free.
Speaker 15 (06:10):
And the.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Bread God, bless y'all, Thank you, Alexis. That was all inspiring.
What a way to start this incredible night tonight. Now,
none of this celebration tonight would be possible without the
(06:37):
generosity and dedication of our partner tonight. The American Border
story for the last many years, TABS as it is known,
has told the stories that the legacy media refused to
tell and aided the victims and the frontline responders of
a border crist self made by the Biden administration. We
all know that. Allow me to introduce to you a
little more about this great organization with the screen video.
(06:58):
Take a watch.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I think it's no secret that the Biden administration failed us.
The lack of border control, the lack of securing our borders.
Speaker 10 (07:10):
This is a.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Result of that.
Speaker 13 (07:12):
Biden didn't care about drugs pouring into our country. Biden
didn't care about children being trafficked. He didn't care about anything.
Speaker 16 (07:28):
Now, they usually try to doctor it up, they call
it undocumented. I just call it illegal, because bottom line is,
if this gentleman wasn't in the country, my kid would
be here.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
A lot of anger and a lot of things.
Speaker 17 (07:42):
They don't want to stay on camera because they weren't good.
Speaker 16 (07:44):
Thoughts hopefully's in prison for a while and hopefully after
that he rots, and hell, I have no sympathy for.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Him, an absolute horror.
Speaker 14 (08:00):
We meet enforcements, we have the old terms than to
where city laws.
Speaker 10 (08:06):
But you know why that's not happening, because we have
a harbrible city council who is all progressive and they
support this stuff.
Speaker 13 (08:13):
And then he strangled her because he didn't want her
to be able to live to tell the story.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
And she's so much more than that, and that hasn't
been portrayed often.
Speaker 16 (08:30):
But I believe the presidents get rid of some of
the trash people that are troublemakers, felons, murderers, drug dealers.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Human traffickers, gang members, and other criminals from the streets
of dangerous cities. But we are getting them out and
getting them out fast.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
And now I will forever be a grieving mother, and
my son will forever be a grieving brother who will.
Speaker 14 (08:58):
No longer get to grow up with.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
His The illeg immigration is not a victimus crime. Okay,
So every sick person we take off the streets, especially
child rapist, it makes this country much safer.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
All the time.
Speaker 13 (09:24):
When my time comes, I would like somebody to remember
my son, to remember him on his birthday, to remember
him on his anniversary, on Father's Day, and bring him
a little flower on Christmas. That would mean a lot
to me because I don't want my son to have
died in vain.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Wow, very powerful, all right. Joining me now is the
founder and leader of the American Border Story, Nicole Kiploff. Nicole,
welcome and thanks for the opportunity to be a part
of this very special night. Tell us how it all.
Speaker 18 (10:11):
Started, well, John, we started the American Border Story to
tell the stories of the victims of illegal immigration and
the border crisis. Victims of rape and murder, ranchers living
in border communities whose livelihoods have been destroyed, people who
have been gravely injured in accidents because of illegal immigrants
(10:33):
receiving driver's licenses, hospitality industry workers deeply affected by this crisis,
victims of the fentanyl crisis, and many more. We tell
the stories of what happened to these victims and how
we even got here in the first place. But we also, John,
tell the stories of who the victims were and just
(10:54):
how much they contributed to the world before they were
tragically killed. We produce creative and documentary style content to
tell these powerful stories. Our phenomenal team at the American
Border Story is honored to host our first annual Border
Hero Awards to honor the heroes who have helped secure
(11:15):
the border, as well as the families of the victims,
many of them here tonight and tomorrow night. Thank you
for fighting for justice.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Thank you, Nicole Well a noble and fantastic mission. And
for all the families sitting out in the audience tonight,
thank you for turning grief into greatness, for doing what
you did to make this country see there was a
better path. You are the true heroes tonight, along with
the great men and women we're going to honor tonight.
All right, In a second, we're going to kick off
our discussion with a panel of law enforcement officials who
(11:44):
help clean up the Biden border mess. But before we
do that, let's go back out to Amanda for a
quick reaction from one of our guests.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Hey, John, Yes, Chris Bergard here from the audience. Documentary
filmmaker Chris, thank you so much for being here, and
thank you again all of you. I don't know if
I had a chance to say that.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Thanks for having it.
Speaker 19 (12:03):
It's like Old Home Week back here. You know, it's
so excited what y'all are doing. Two years ago, Tom.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Holm and I were on the border.
Speaker 19 (12:10):
In two days we saw more military personnel coming across
the border i'd seen eighteen years. We documented how Joe
Biden excuse me, helped start the largest child trafting organization
on the planet. We took that to Congress under Biden,
they did nothing. Now because of Tom Home and the President,
things are turning around.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I love it. Tell us about your documentary filmmaking.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh Man.
Speaker 19 (12:36):
Back in two thousand and five, I ended up on
the border and came back to tell the stories, and
Hollywood didn't want to hear that. They kicked me out
of Hollywood. So spent the next twenty years on and
off the border with the ranchers and law enforcement down there.
I've just been blessed. When we first did Border, we
played it for Congress and the Texas Sheriff's Boorder Coalition
(12:57):
game and said, hey, you put on film. Well, we've
been trying to tell DC and they're ignoring us. So
that was the beginning of relationship with them. Stuff like
you know, back when the Mexican military was working security
for the cartels and coming across.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
The border in Texas.
Speaker 19 (13:11):
No one was talking about it, you know, But you've
got men here tonight that have been fighting this for years.
And I think America is really lucky to meet these people.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Absolutely, and I can't wait to dive into so many
of these stories. Obviously, we wish that none of you
were here for the reason that you are here, but
we are delighted to bring recognition to your family members
and to bring remembrance to their stories. You brought up
the children who have been lost into the interior of
this country. Tell us about how that impacted you.
Speaker 19 (13:41):
You know, in the old days, when we're tracking bad
guys through the deserts or the pastors of South Texas,
usually they were caring dope narcotics. Now when you get
I mean, they're still bringing narcotics in, but it's kids.
And there was a gut punch two years ago down
on the river and run into a load kids they
were bringing over. And the woman that was bringing them over,
(14:03):
the coyote had just dropped them off, and she looked
at me and she just started crying because she's holding
this little baby and it's African baby. It's obviously not hers,
because she knows that I know what's going to happen
to that kid. And what people have to understand, this
is not by accident. Joe Biden, under him brought in
over half a million parentless children, half a million. One
of the first things they did when he got in
(14:24):
was they stopped doing the biometric DNA testing the prison.
Trump put in this was by design. These kids are
going back into trafficking because the last administration.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
The Biden administration, let that contract with that biotesting company expire,
and it was barely a blip on the radio with
the mainstream media, as was all of the hundreds of
thousands of children who were lost into the interior of
the country. But someone who was the first person to
sound that bell up on Capitol Hill, one of a
frequent guests on our program in a friend of the program,
(14:56):
Wisconsin Congressman Glenn Grothman, is in studio with us tonight
along with a whole host of other experts who are
going to be joining John on panels. John, why don't
you take it away seven minutes?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
All right, folks, what a what a great conversation. I
feel a little underdressed right now. Because I don't have
a badge or a cowboy hat or a sheriff's had
I should say, but I am surrounded by four heroes
of the front lines of the border crisis. We'll be
talking about life on the front lines for law enforcement offices,
(15:27):
what it was like four years ago, what it is
like now. I'm joined here on set by Border patrol. Oh,
I'm sorry, bye, let me get him here, so I
have a little bit of a thing. Panell County Sheriff
Mark Limb, thank you for having me. I appreciate it.
Always got to have you on from Texas. The golieat
County Sheriff Roy Boyd is here. Good to have you, sir,
Gray donord to have you here. Retired Santa Sino County
(15:49):
Sheriff Greg Capers, you're here, welcome, Thank you for your
great service and work. And down on my left to
my left ear Liberty County Constable Captain Brian Nichols, Good
to have you here, sir. All right, you guys, I
saw the last four years. You knew what it was like. Sure,
if you have been on many times on a show
you gave us those frontline reports in Arizona. How bad
was it at the height of the Biden crisis.
Speaker 20 (16:10):
Well, look, we were talking about this backstage. I don't
think we could even really tell the American people just
how bad it was, how violent the car tells, how
many women were being trafficked and raped, and how many
children were being trafficked in this country, men being extorted,
people being left for dead in the deserts. We tried
for four years to sound the alarm, and thankfully, I
(16:31):
think towards the end the American people somewhat heard that
message because we got some reprieve in President Trump and
this administration. So I thank you for having me on
all those times, because I think that if it wasn't
for the men that are up here today and so
many other great people, friends like Art de Queto from
Border Patrol, so many guys that have been saying what
(16:52):
needs to be said, And unfortunately it was probably a
lot worse than what we were even being able to
really show the American people because it was so violent
and awful.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Your constables, your deputy saw a lot of anythings that
we can even talk about. Schure Boyd, it's a lot
different right now. How quickly did it change after January
twentieth it changed drastically.
Speaker 21 (17:12):
And when we found was that once trub took office
and he assigned Mike Banks to be the chief of
Border Patrol, our ability to locate illegal aliens coming across
the border tried up extremely fat smuggling organizations that we
were investigating could no longer put together loads.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
As a result of the great.
Speaker 21 (17:31):
Work that the men and women of Board Patrol are doing,
and it has been a much welcome relief for US
in law enforcement and for the citizens due out South Texas.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I'm so lucky that you guys kept the front lines
protected during that whole time. Captain Nichols, I want to
turn to you for a second. People say, well, we
don't want to ever let this happen again. You are
on the front lines, you know what it's like. What
are the tools that Congress Washington need to give local
LA enforcement to make sure this never happens again.
Speaker 17 (17:58):
Empower local law for with immigration enforcement authority. We need that,
right Yes, sir, many departments are volunteering now and starting
to cooperate, But then there are some in those sanctuary
states and cities that can't engage you if they want to,
So federal legislation would.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Change that, wouldn't it. Yes, very good, that's awesome, Sheriff.
You know, truth telling is such an important part of this.
There were some in the media, some in politics that
didn't want people to see the truth. We got that
truth out there because every day men like you stood
up and said it's bad here, we need help. What
is the lesson that all of us in America need
(18:34):
to learn from when we're deceived about when we're told
the border secure and we know it's not. How do
we overcome that in the future.
Speaker 22 (18:40):
You know, I have no clue other than the media
needs to quit making up their own stories, their own
own lines to better themselves and better their their their
further advancement within the organization, if they would just get
back tell the truth. I've been down to the border
several times, was interviewed by a lady from California, and
(19:04):
what I had to tell her did not fit her storyline,
her what she was sitting down there for. So they
turned the cameras off and turned around and walking.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
If you capture something that's very true, we all know
it now. There's a defined narrative, and then you just
try to find facts to fit it. They don't want
to tell the truth. You all told the truth. The
men and women on the front lines, they've had a
rough four years. I know there's optimism now because the
law is coming back and the orders coming back. Resources sure,
if that you think surf land that you think need
to be made available to the frontline officers, what do
(19:35):
they need?
Speaker 20 (19:36):
Well, I think the federal government needs the assistance of
local law enforcement. I think that helps with the resources
on local law enforcement, we all could use a few
more deputies and a few more officers. That comes through
state legislations, making sure that that we continue to create
a good career and not just a job in law enforcement,
making people want to do the job. But we've got
to continue to allow our federal partners first and foremost
(19:58):
to do the job take the cuts off. That's what
President Trump and this administration is done. We're seeing those
effects already in local law enforcement. Like you said, in
most states where we don't have crazy states and governors
and city councils that have made it illegal, we're there
standing ready to help out. And this administration for the
first time is letting sheriffs back at the table, Unlike
(20:20):
the last administration where they went a whole They went
four years without meeting with a single sheriff.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
To my knowledge, that's amazing. It's mind numbing to you
even think about Captain. Real quickly, as you look out,
there's going to be moments ahead where negotiations with foreign
powers will be important. Mexico Canada. How important is it
to make sure our allies are right alongside our law
enforcement in this country. That's an excellent question.
Speaker 17 (20:44):
I think at the end of the day, that's really
above my pay grade as a local law enforcement officer.
But in a nutshell, if we don't have cooperation from
the foreign authorities to, for example, take these individuals back
into their home countries, then it's going to be difficult
to deport the millions of them that are currently in
our country.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I have no doubt about it. Sure boyd real quickly.
There are still a lot of people bad on the streets.
We're trying to get them off. They getting off quick
or I think sixty eighty thousand of them in the
last couple of months. What's the most important thing that
everyday Americans if they're living out and they see you body,
somebody they think might not belong there. What's the best
thing they can do to help you.
Speaker 21 (21:21):
They need to report that to law enforcement. But I'm
going to tell you right now that securing the border
is the easy part of this equation. It is securing
the domestic front that is a difficult part and no
offense to anybody. But we are not on track to
do that at this point in time. The number of
deportations do not match up to the number of people
that are in this country. And if we are going
to be successful, and we must leverage the full spectrum
(21:42):
of law enforcement, we must have local, state, federal, and
tribal coming together under one mission under this administration, and
we need to be working together to successfully secure the
interior the United States of America and deny the cartels
the logistical ability to continue to conduct their business in
a manner that generates some profit. The cartels are after money.
(22:03):
We need to take away their ability to make money
in the United States and they can go conduct their
business somewhere else. But we have to get on it.
Time is of the essence. We're running short on time.
We have not done what needs to be done so
far under this Trump administration. We have to step it up.
Everybody has to get to work, and it has to
be unified. So we must move forward with a different
(22:25):
methodology and a different mindset and get it done for
the benefit of the American people.
Speaker 20 (22:29):
And let the executive branch do the executive branch's.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Job and not a way judges or some judges in
the way right now. I think that'll get settled at
some point. Sheriff Caper's real quickly. There has been so
much discussion in Washington. We're going to get this done.
We're going to get resources to the congressman and lawmakers
watching tonight. What's the message you want them to hear.
What do you need from them in Congress next week?
Speaker 22 (22:51):
Well, we need more money, we need more personnel, we
need we need resources. You know, when you've got policemen
making twenty thousand in this department and one hundred and
fifty in this department, it's hard for the little departments
to get to get any of the good qualified personnel.
So maybe stipends or something that they could pass down
(23:12):
to the local agencies.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
That sounds like a good idea of men who know
what they're talking about because they've been on the front line.
They did out without a lot and made it happen.
We're so blessed by all of your work, your department's work,
the men and women that work under you. We are
forever grateful. Thank you for being here today.
Speaker 20 (23:28):
And can we just say one more thing. These are
the families too that are here tonight. They lost loved ones.
We as sheriffs and local law enforcement, we are the
ones that pick up the pieces of bad federal policies
and so and we just thank those families. Our heart
goes out for their sacrifice and for what they lost,
but we also thank them for being a voice for
border security.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
We tip our hat to them and you men as well.
You've done so much great work. Thanks for being with us.
Folks are going to take quicker mescial break, wan, come back.
We got another great panel for you, and later we'll
be presenting on American Border Hero Awards. First, guess you're
going to be surprised to see here. We'll have that
right after these commercial messages. Washington, DC.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
Welcome back to the first annual American Border Heroes Awards
right here on Real America's Voice.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I'm John Solomon, your host for the evening tonight. It's
time now for our second panel discussion, this one focused
on shaping future policy for US Safer American We have
some great guests for you from the halls of Congress.
Wisconsin Representative Glen Growthman is here. His work documenting how
the Biden administration lost track of not thousands, tens of
thousands of unaccompanied minor children that came into this country
(24:51):
without their parents was an epic moment of accountability in Washington.
Off it doesn't happen here, he did it. Also joining
us his retired old Man Security Investigation Supervisory Special Agent
Victor Revealer. Victor. Good to have you here, sir. From
the great state of Florida, Richard Mante, who is a
special counsel and state ride prosecuted with the Florida Attorney
General's Office, did some fantastic work with a grand jury.
(25:11):
We're going to get to that in a second. Good
to have you here today, sir. And finally rounding out
the panel is Art Arthur, the Center for Immigration Studies,
Resident Fellow in Law and Policy. Good to have here,
all right, Congressman, I want to start with you. You've
blessed our show many times by coming on it and
bringing real accountability, finding things the Biden administration told us
they had this under control when they let all those
(25:33):
accompany miners in. They lost track of them, didn't they. Well.
Speaker 23 (25:36):
Absolutely, and this is particularly horrifying for a party, the
Democrat Party, that said, oh, we we're the party of
keeping families together. When these young people came across the border,
frequently they had neither parent with them, or one parent,
rare to have both parents with them. So you're breaking
up families. And of course it's an invitation to wind
(25:58):
up having children off on their own, human trafficked in
dangerous working conditions. And the Biden administration didn't care. But
I can't emphasize how much it's important that now the
Trump administration step in one more mess that Donald Trump
has to clean up after Biden left office.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, elephants, sweeping job is big style. There's still a
lot of work, Victor. You're on the front lines for
a long time. Right now, there's a lot of progress.
But when I talk to men and women in the
border patrol and ice, they still need a lot of resources.
What's the most important thing Congress could do in the
next few months to get those resources flowing quicker?
Speaker 24 (26:35):
Ooh, that's a well, this list put the list out.
We need funding, we need manpower, we need technology, we
need infrastructure, We need an array of things. And one
of the shares what he said is the cooperation with
the state and the locals. The two eighty seven G
program probably right now is the most important. Just like
what Florida is doing. We need that done in every
(26:58):
single state. Because a local know what's going on in
their communities. We need those that joint effort. Then you're
going to see the bigger numbers of apprehensions and detections
and deportations as well.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, so important. And boy, that's sewing together of local
and federal law enforcement. It is a powerful too when
it works, when it's allowed to work, which is an
important part. Richard. You did something really fascinating, and that
is that you were looking and using a state grand
jury to kind of look at the larger system. And
there's still components of that system that are operating. There
are nonprofits that really are involved in human trafficking. They
(27:33):
make this all possible. Tell us what you found and
what things still need to be addressed.
Speaker 15 (27:38):
Well, the grand jury that did convene down in Florida,
their very top line recommendation was convene another one to
look into these NGOs. They are making hundreds of millions
and into the billions of dollars off of this industry.
I mean, it's essentially a funneling of a pass through
for trafficking organizations. Some of them are very well aware
(27:59):
of that fact and just don't care, and some are
just simply trying to do their jobs. But you know,
it doesn't really matter. Why if there's if there is,
if there's mischief in what's going on, it needs to
be corrected, and they aren't interested in doing that. So
the grand jury thought very long and hard about going
after some of these individuals and said simply ran out
of time. They were only convened for an eighteen month period,
(28:20):
that's the way the law is written.
Speaker 9 (28:22):
Couldn't go beyond that.
Speaker 15 (28:23):
And so their big request was, hey Governor, Hey Supreme Court,
do us another favor. Go after these people.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
You created an extraordinary road. Now it's a big business.
I mean, people make careers out of this sort of
getting people into the country and caring for right.
Speaker 15 (28:36):
The grant funding is astonishing and it's all of course
paid for by taxpayer money. That's just funneled through the
Department of Health and Human Services primarily, and Secretary Kennedy
just brought that up, actually, I think yesterday pointed it out.
Is exactly what's going on. And oh, by the way,
the executives and the people running these things, if you
pull their for nine nineties, it's amazing the salaries they're
(28:58):
getting for essentially going ahead and just handing money over
to their friends.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
It's just insane. A right, a lot of people looking
and saying, hey, the courts of Donald Trump was elected
to fix this problem. The Court's seem to be dripping
them up at every step. Does Congress need to change
some laws so that Supreme Court knows exactly what Congress's
intent is?
Speaker 8 (29:17):
Absolutely, I mean one of the big canards, though, John
of the Biden administration was that we need we need
more laws in order to out here the border. And
you know, we heard exactly we heard, you know, Secretary
Nome say that apprehensions are down ninety four percent. She
actually understated that it's ninety five percent. And we don't
(29:38):
really have good records, but it's probably the lowest number
of people who have ever come into American history across
that border. So Congress really just needs to tighten the laws,
give the court some direction, take away some other jurisdiction.
I was involved in a court stripping effort, as we
called it, back in two thousand and five.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
But you know, funding is really the key.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
The thing that Congress really needs to do now, as
Victor had said before, was we need more judges, we
need more detention space, we need more agents, we need
more agents on the line. Congress can do all that,
and the American people support more funding for this. But yeah,
when it comes to the courts, it's galling. It's a process.
(30:23):
Donald Trump knows it's a process. That's why he started early.
It is in his term, so that he can get
all the way up to the Supreme Court, get the
impediments out of the way, and get the American people safe.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Some of those classes were intentional just to get him
to the high crest. Absolutely, Congressman, you've been saying for
a long time we didn't need more laws. We just
needed a president who would enforce him. But there are
things that Congress is going to do in that big
beautiful bill that President Trump talks about. What do you
think is top of line.
Speaker 23 (30:48):
Well, there are a lot of things we'll try to
get in there. Obviously, he's done the big thing in
the first place. When you talk about all the young
people coming, you just got to close the border, and
the solves the problem. But we do a lot of
young people here we've lost track of. We have to
track down those people. We have to find out where
their parents are. And let's not forget the Democrats supposedly
(31:10):
say we're for keeping a family together. We do not
want to have a situation in which little Johnny is
here with mom, but dad is back in Guatemala any
more than in this country. If a couple gets divorced,
you have two parents fire apart. So we really have
to make sure that if we take a new family here,
it's the entire family, and the United States of America
(31:32):
is not causing a broken family by who we let.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
In so important, I think there was a big moment.
The President promised it on the campaign trail. He delivered
it right away. We have declared that the drug cartels
that bring all that poison into this country and poison
our children with China's help, are now considered terrorist organizations.
When you see that, what tools does that open up
and what things might Americas not be ready to see
that this president might do to take those cartels out.
Speaker 24 (31:56):
Well, that was a great move by President Trump that
we've been a waiting for a long time. I've been
advocating for that designation of these cartels and I love
that list that came out of the nine cartels that
married them Threnderawa. By the way, it is a terrorist organization.
MS thirteen is a terrorist organization, but what it does
is certain things. The first thing that does is that
we get to go after the assets, the money, the properties,
(32:18):
everything that these groups are getting illicitly. Second, it's you're
already seeing it is a DoD resources joining with DHS.
You're seeing them active duty military at our border right now.
I just came back from Opasso. They're there, they're present,
and there's gonna be some other activity with a military.
They're moving Mexico, believe it or not, is cooperating. They
(32:38):
might not say it in front of the camera, but
behind the cameras and they're allowing because they don't want
to see the tariffs. They don't want to be hurt
by other political decisions that Trump will make. But the
designation of the cartels is the game changer. We now
get to take them out and treat them just like
isis just like the Taliban. This is how I think
(32:58):
the American people need to start think.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Think.
Speaker 24 (33:00):
You know, the cart sells because I tell them all
the time, it's not just a guy in cowboy boots
and a cowboy hat. This is a person in the
United States that looks like you and me. There's contents, doctors,
and different types of people that they have because they
have an incredible system of especially intelligence within the US
and sixty five countries around the world. These are sophisticated
(33:22):
corporations and we must recognize them that way in order
to take them down.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
They run like multinational corporations. Gentlemen, each of you played
such an important role. Congressman, we can't thank you enough
for all the times you came on and educated the
summer last year. But each of you have made such
an extraordinary contribution. What Florida's done. I think the whole
country oways Florida and Texas at debt of gratitude for
the last four years of contribution. But great to have
this conversation. We're bumping up on a commercial break. We'll
be right back, folks when we come back. I got
(33:47):
a special guest here, Yeah, you know it is. It's
Tom Homan. The Borders Are. We got a special message
in a special plot to building right after these messages
here from Washington, d C.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
Welcome back to the first Annual American Border Heroes Awards.
Right here on Real America's Voice.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Ooks, Welcome back to our first Annual American Heroes Award.
I'm John Solomon. I'm joined by Nicole Kipluff, the founder
of The American Border Story, which is sponsoring tonight's awards,
and came up with this great idea. When we started
talking about this, there was one name that unanimously came
up time and time again, no matter who we talked to.
(34:35):
He I have been able to watch his career as
a young reporter, growing up all through in law enforcement,
whether he was running ICE or now inside the White
House running the entire Trump strategy for cleaning up Biden's
border mess. He's our borders are. He's an American hero.
He's a good friend, and he gets stuff done. He
is our good friend. Tom home and Tom, welcome, Thanks
(34:55):
for having me. Well you didn't know this because we
knew if we telled you wouldn't, okay, And so that's
why we didn't tell you. You are going to be
the very first winner of the American Border Hero Award.
You deserve it for your vision, your work, your messaging.
You educated us all and you told all the people
who were lying they were lying right to their faces.
We're lucky to have you in this country. I know
(35:17):
your work is still long, but we want to at
least recognize that Nicole as a little black to just
say thank you for what you've done.
Speaker 18 (35:22):
Sir, congratulations, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
I appreciate that your something else. You're working twenty four
to seven, about twenty three, twenty four hours, you get
a red bull probably for an hour sleep in between.
Where are we in the fight?
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Well, first of all, I appreciate it's a great honor,
but it's really about the men and women were in
the uniform. It's about the men and women bring us
board patrols, stand on that line every night. It's about
the men and women ice who strapag under hip every day.
So I'll take this and recognition of them, but they're
the heroes, together with the greatest president of my lifetime,
Donald Trump, who let us do what we do so look,
(36:03):
I'm busy. I mean since inauguration, I think I've had
three days off. I was with the President just before
I came here. He's not gonna give me a day
off anytime soon. But we're great. We got the most
secure border in history of the nation today and the
data proves it, there's no question.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Right.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
So I knew when we came back, we knew the secret, right,
we had the recipe. We had great success in Trump
forty five, but we beat the hell out of that.
I mean, the numbers right now, I say the best
in the history of the nation on the border. Inter
re enforcement were about three times the criminal amiens arrested
(36:41):
in three months that Joe Biden did in the year.
So we're kicking a lot of butt there. And the children,
there's three hundred thousand missing children. Were working hard at
that already, about five thousand found really rescued, and some
of these were relative but some weren't. Somewhere in forced labors.
(37:01):
So that's the three legs. When President Trump called me,
says security border, run a deportation operation and find these kids.
So one's done, pretty much done. Two we're making good strikes.
Three is the most difficult because children are hard to find.
I mean they don't have a footprint. You have a car,
I have a car. We all have a digital footprint,
whether it's you own a car, you're own a home,
(37:22):
you have credit cards, We can find us, but children
you can't find. They don't have a digital footprint. So
we got to count on digital footprint the sponsors. But
last administration they didn't vet the sponsors properly. They didn't
fingerprint a lot of sponsors. So this is a hard
job the children, but we're not going to rest. So
every single one of them has found and rest.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
And I know those children really matter to President Trump.
He said it to me personally. Have you found many
in danger? I mean some are in dangerous situations when
you found them?
Speaker 7 (37:46):
Right?
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Yes, yes, And not only not only we committed to
finding them, we're committed to helping them because you know,
it's gonna be physical abuse, it's gonna be mental abuse.
So we got to help them getting back to their families.
But President Trump's committed to this. I mean the left
ones to keep attacking us for what they call Trump's
family separation. Well, you know, families were separated because parents
(38:07):
were prosecuted the same thing happened to us physician families
every day. But they won't talk about the half a
million kids that were smuggling this country putting hands of
criminal cartels. I mean, I leave my kid in the
car and go get groceries. I'll get arrested, But you
can put your kid in the hands of criminal cartels
to who knows what the hell happened to them during
that journey. So we're gonna holp people accountable and we're
gonna find these kids. President Trump's committed to it. We're
(38:28):
gonna make sure that happens.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Yeah, I know both of you are. I've seen you
work day in and day out. The bigger job is
getting eleven twenty million somewhere between that out of this country.
Everybody know that's going to take some time. What do
you still need? What do you need from Congress? People?
Speaker 6 (38:44):
Congress needs to get also asked give us some money
we need, right And I'm not just talking about Democrats either.
I mean President Trump was selected by American people over
one way, and there's number one issues securing the border
and running this deportation operation.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
We're doing great with the money we have.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
We can do a hell a lot more.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
If we need money by beds.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
We need money for transportation, We need money for more officers.
We need money for more contract personnel to come in
and do jobs that doesn't require badging gun. We got
badges and guns doing administrative jobs they shouldn't be doing.
We need them on the street. So we need Congress
to step up and give us some money. We need
to get this done. The more money we have, the
more successful we're going to be. And look, we got
over seven hundred thousand illegal animals or criminal convictions walking
(39:24):
the streets of America that we need money, more boots
on the ground to rest these people.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Yeah, twelve hundred terrorists. That number came out the other day.
Of twelve hundreds that we know are in the gun,
and I gott knows how many aren't on the ground.
The folks in the local law enforcement who partner with
all of your great men and women in ice and
border patrol, how important are they to your missions? Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (39:44):
The sheriffs. Sheriffs are the finance of the finance man.
I got relationships with great sheriffs, not twenty chiefs the police,
but the sheriffs. The sheriffs are stone cold partners. It's
the state of Florida. Look, I've given the government census
shout out. I mean, we just did in an operation
in Florida, got over one thousand arrests and he had
(40:04):
his two eighty seven G people out there. He had
the National Guard to eighty seven G people out of there.
Texas is a great partner. We had a lot of
great partners. But the sheriffs, I mean they're America sheriffs
and most of them, I would say ninety percent of them,
they're in the fight with us. And I saw a
couple outside there there, you know, been in the fight
from day one. So we got to count on sheriff's partnership,
(40:24):
and we got to count on the sheriff's helpings with beds. Right,
a lot of these guys run jails. Their beds are
relatively cheap compared to you know, other beds. Most expensive
beds we have is when we owned right preverate government
doesn't doesn't do anything cheap. And I made a commitment
to the sheriffs that you know, it used to be
we had a certain under under previous administration, you got
(40:45):
a certain level detention standards that are very expensive. You
know we're doing things for illego anmas, we don't do
a few US citizens. So a lot of sheriffs did not,
you know, want to get in a contract with US
for beds because they couldn't afford the standards we had.
So the sheriff's always told me, why would I give
these standards to illegal alien if I don't give them
standards to US citizen. So I made a comitment to
the sheriffs, you know, first weekend administration, that we'll do
(41:08):
contracts with shares and their detention standards are good enough
for us, and they're good enough for US citizen in
that jail. They're good enough for So that's go open
the door to more beds that we need at a
reasonable cost. So, you know, sheriffs are great partners.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Sure, they've got a great compass center at the top
of this administration and the leader of this you You
work tired. Let's say, I've never seen anyone work harder
than you. We couldn't have done this with I know
a lot of work I had, But tonight we really
honor you for what you do and all the men
and women you represent around this country.
Speaker 6 (41:37):
Thank you, God, bless the men and women of the
board too. God bless the men and win advice. I
was lucky. I was a border of religion. I wore
that uniform. I was a nice agent. I know how
hard these women and women work, and I tell you,
I keep saying that they're taking a lot of hate
right now. But you know what, while you and I
are sleeping tonight at three a m. There's a border
of religion standing on a dirt trail someplace. Well, I'm
gonna take it on. Center goes off. They don't know
(41:59):
if it's just an illegal and look for a better life.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
They don't know.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
Heavily armed rug smoker. We're gonna stand there taking on
the men and women in ICE are knocking on doors
across this country because we can't rest the public safety
threatened to jail because sanctuary cities. Now that I'll go
wrestle on his turf. We have access to who loans
what weapons. So you know, I wish everybody's watching this
show a night. You know, hit your knees tonight and
pray for the safety of these men and women in
the board up to an Ice because they're American heroes
(42:23):
and they got a tough job a dangerous job, but
we need.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Them, we sure do, and they are an American heroes.
You said it so much, sir. We know you've got
to get back to work. We're gonna let you go.
In a second. We have another word to give for
local law enforcement. Tell us Nicole what we're doing.
Speaker 18 (42:38):
So first of all, I just want to say you're
doing God's work, mister Homan, and I love how you
talked about the importance of local law enforcement such a
critical part of securing our border. God bless you, sir.
Speaking of local law enforcement, it is my absolute honor
to present our next award, our next Border hero Ward,
to Kieran Donahue. Kieranue is the eighty fourth President of
(43:02):
the National Sheriff's Association. Sheriff Donahue leads an association of
over three thousand sheriffs nationwide in their efforts to secure
the border and keep this country safe. Now accepting this
award on behalf of Sheriff Donahue and sheriff's nationwide all
over this country doing God's work is Sheriff Mark Lamb,
(43:25):
who has years of law enforcement experience, serving on the
front lines local law enforcement as our borders are just
said is a critical aspect of securing our border. So
thank you to Sheriff Donahue and Sheriff Lamb, who is
again accepting the award on behalf of Sheriff Donahue, for
doing God's work and risking your lives every single day
(43:49):
to keep Americans safe.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Sheriff lam you might not remember this, but in twenty seventeen,
that was my first trip down to the border, and
you gave an absolute masterclass a group of journalists, some
of them not really wanting to hear what you had
to say, but everybody was devastating. You've been in this
fight for so long. This is a very well deserved award.
Speaker 20 (44:08):
Well, thank you, and I'm accepting. I'm honored to be
accepting on behalf of Sharon Kieran Donahue, the president of
the NSA, and all the sheriffs across this country. But
really the tribute goes much like what Tom Homan just said.
The tribute goes to the men and women who put
on the badge every day that are going out and
protecting our streets, that are protecting the families that you
see here sitting hit tonight, These angel families, people who
(44:31):
have lost loved ones. The men and women that put
on this badge every day are going out and.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
That's what drives them. That's the purpose.
Speaker 20 (44:38):
And we have said in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas,
we have said, what happens in our backyard will be
in your front yard tomorrow. And sheriffs across this country
saw that over the last four years and they did
a great job. So the men and women deserve this
and I'm honored to accept it on behalf of Sharon
Kieran Donahue. I talked to him today. He said, and
(45:00):
one last thing. We are citizens of our counties as well.
Many of us have experienced the effects personally, not just
as citizens, but as sheriffs. You know, whether it's fentanel
in our families, deaths in our families. So we feel
for these families and that's why we do what we
do every day. And we're thankful for partnerships with men
like Tom Homan, President Trump and this administration, thank you
(45:23):
for their efforts as well.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Thank God, Melsa, and I love what Tom said, the
simplicity of they are America's sheriffs. Their reputation precedes then
the men and women of law enforcement who put their
lives on the line every single day, the toughest in
the world. John, I know you've got another award over there.
Speaker 3 (45:40):
And he's a familiar face without in the last four years,
would not have been possible tonight, He's a winner of
the Messenger Award. This word goes out to a man
who has continually kept the truth in the public eye
in supportive border security and for his brothers and sisters.
I'm the Border Patrol. He's my good friend. He's the
vice president of the National Border Patrol. Consul Art Delquedor
Art congradulates, say you are the Messenger. Wow, thank you
(46:04):
so much.
Speaker 25 (46:04):
This is This means a lot, and I'm gonna tell
you it means a lot because you know, I've been
out there on that line for a long time, through
several administrations, making sure that the voice of the agents
has heard. I put it all the time on my
social media. I always say agents voices must be heard.
But it's it's a continued dedication of programs and individuals
like you that help us get that voice out. It's
(46:25):
I would be I wouldn't get any of this if
it wasn't for for the boots on the ground and
my heroes in Green I grew up on the border.
I've been there my whole life and i remember being
a child and watching Border Patrol agents and they were
my heroes.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
And I'm blessed enough to.
Speaker 25 (46:39):
Have worn the uniform and be part of it, so
being the messenger, and I got an award from them
just recently that said the voice of the Agents. These
things been a lot to me. It's a really a
big deal. So and I'm thank thank you for having
me on here, you know, and seeing all the great
group of guys that you got together.
Speaker 3 (46:55):
When you walk people, they recognize you instantly because you
are the truth teller. When to buy, the administration was
lying to us. You were telling us the truth.
Speaker 25 (47:03):
Absolutely, and I'll continue to do so at the end
of the day. You know, it's about the agents. I'm
trying to make sure that they're taking care of, you know,
the messages and over. We got to continue pushing it forward.
We've got to let people know what's really going on.
We got to defend these agents. You know, there's some
issues that are going on back and forth right now
with some of their retirement. We've got to make sure
that that's taken care of, because you know, they've been
on the front line, put their next out on the line.
(47:23):
We need to make sure they continue to be taken
care of moving forward. It was good seeing Tom Holman,
and he's got the Secret Service with him.
Speaker 5 (47:30):
I have.
Speaker 25 (47:31):
I'm hanging out with Mark Lamb, so I don't need
to see protection. Yeah, if you hang out with Flab,
you're good to go.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
You don't really need secret Service. We've been in your
good hands for the last five years. Our congratulation, Thank
you for thank you, Thank you so much. I appreciate
you than God. Bless you. All Right, Nicole, we've got
one more to go. This one's especial to me because
Tom Holman said it. None of this happens without the
men and women in the front line. We want to
honor everyone. Don't wait tonight in the order, so tell.
Speaker 18 (47:59):
Us about John. Our final award of the night is
a very special award called the Javier Vega Junior Award.
Now we at the American Border Story decided to name
this award in honor of Javier Vega Junior, an agent
of the United States Border Patrol who was tragically killed
by an legal immigrant in Texas in twenty fourteen. Javier
(48:22):
Vega Junior served this country with courage, honor, and incredible
integrity and love with us. Tonight we have Maria Herreravega.
I've gotten to know her over the past few hours.
She's an incredible woman. She's Javier's mother, and she's going
to accept this award on behalf of all Border Patrol
agents and their families nationwide. Maria, please consider this a
(48:45):
very small token of our gratitude to your family and
your son for everything that he did to protect the
people of this country, making the ultimate sacrifice. We carry
his story in our hearts and we never forget sacrifice
that your son made. Maria is now standing by with
Amanda out in the audience.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
Maria, I know a lot of people here know your
son's story, but I think one of the most important
aspects of tonight is telling the stories. Tell us about
how you.
Speaker 14 (49:17):
Okay. So, he was a very amazing young man. We
did our best trying to raise him correctly, teaching him
right from wrong, and from a very young age, she
expressed a love for law enforcement the military, which some
(49:38):
of you know that as soon as he graduated from
high school, he went into the Marine Corps. He did
his four year term, got out, was going to school
full time and working full time as well. He loved
what he did, and it's it's kind of hard for
(50:02):
my family and I to see what's going on because
I can't just get it through my hit. How can
anyone defend illegal aliens? What about the American people? Why
aren't we a priority? And as long as I'm alive,
(50:28):
I'm gonna be a voice for my son and for
all the angel families who lost a child.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
You know your son was courageous, but you are too
speaking out talking about his story, never letting that go.
He may not be a priority to past administrations, but
he's a priority to this administration. And he's a priority
here tonight and to all of us here. So thank
you for your son's service.
Speaker 14 (50:54):
Thank you to the American border story. And on behalf
of my family, my husband who's here in the audience,
thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
For this award, John and Nicole.
Speaker 14 (51:06):
Back to you, Maria, thank you for giving.
Speaker 3 (51:09):
Me me the grace the curach your family showed. I
grew up in a family of cops, and I know
hart is to lose one of the brethren. Your family
showed how resilient all the border Border Patrol families are.
Thank you for being with us, Stunt. It's such a
great honor. All right, folks, we just got a few
minutes that we have a great conversation tomorrow. But there's
a special message we want to bring in from one
(51:30):
of my close friends. He's the FBI director, but long
before he became the FBI director, he was on the
front lines, comforting families, prosecuting crimes, making sure there's stories
of victims were never lost. He's my good friend, Cash Bttel,
and he has a few words to say. He sent
him right in just a little bit ago.
Speaker 7 (51:47):
Hi everyone, I'm Cashptel and I'm honored to be the
ninth director of the FBI. I wish I could be
there with you in person today, but I wanted to
make sure and send a video message to thank you
for everything you are doing to fight for a sat
future for America. When we talk about angel families, we're
often remembering the young victims of senseless tragedies at the
hands of illegal immigrants, and we should and at the
(52:10):
same time, you all are angels too, because you are
out there on the front lines, standing up for what's
right every day and fighting to defend the families of others.
No one should ever have to go through what you
have to, And thanks to the policies of this administration,
our Department of Justice, and law enforcement across this great land,
we are working each and every day to make sure
(52:31):
what happened to you never happens again in this country.
I'm proud to say that since I was sworn in
as the FBI Director, our FBI has undertaken historic efforts
to step in the arena of immigration enforcement and join
with our inneragency partners to get violent criminals off American streets.
And just two months in, We've already seen some monumental success.
(52:53):
Since President Trump's inauguration, the FBI has conducted over six
thousand joint operation arrest and arrested well over five hundred
violent gang members from neighborhoods across this country. We're seizing
deadly drugs and taking them off the streets, including a
recent operation in Florida where we seees nearly fifty thousand
pounds of illicit narcotics worth over five hundred million dollars.
(53:15):
Operations like this one will break the cartels and make
America safer. All of this starts with each of you
and the brave work you are doing to stand up
for what's right in this country. I'll leave you with this.
Under the leadership of this administration, your FBI will never
stop fighting for you. We will work each and every
day to make sure your work and the lives of
(53:35):
your loved ones are not in vain. Thank you for
what you do, and God bless you.
Speaker 3 (53:47):
You're pedal Prosecutor, Chief Counsel of the House Intelligence Committee.
You've been protecting us all right, Nicole, this has been
an extraordinary night. We got another night tomorrow. Today it
was about honoring the men and women on the front lines.
Tomorrow we honor the families who's turned grievances and pain
and suffering into extraordinary opportunity for this country. Tell us
what we can expect tomorrow, you.
Speaker 18 (54:06):
Know, John, First, I just want to say the reason
why these incredible people are the most deserving to receive
these awards is because they're not looking for awards. They're
not looking for the spotlight, they're not looking for attention.
They're just doing what's right. They're looking for justice, and
the families are looking to tell their stories in the
midst of this incredible, gut wrenching turmoil, because they want
(54:30):
to ensure that this never happens again. And we're going
to hear exactly how these families Tomorrow, we'll hear from
all of them. We have twenty one family members here,
angel families who have lost loved ones, and we're going
to hear how they have turned their grief, the most difficult,
darkest moments in their lives, into purpose and fighting for
(54:51):
this country. I can't think of anything more honorable than that.
Speaker 3 (54:54):
I agree with you. I've been surrounded all day by
heroes and I've just been numb the entire day. It's
such a re markable thing. And we got another day tomorrow, folks,
be sure to tune in. There are some important names
you all remember. Tomorrow. We're gonna make sure America never
forgets their names. With the great Generossi and hard work
of Nicole and her team, we are going to create
(55:14):
scholarships in honor of some pretty extraordinary Americans. You know them.
We're gonna say their names often, we will not forget them,
we will honor them, and we're gonna have your opportunity
to sit and get to meet their family members, their
loved ones, hear their stories what they still need to
get through the crisis that has been upon them. For tonight,
I want to thank everyone watching in the audience. There
