7:29 am
website. they don't really have a business plan. the next day they are featured in this federal government conference and then joe biden goes and briefs their investors privately over the course of his vice presidency on obama healthcare policy. barack obama never asked him and probably would have been good for him to know that one of the three principles in the firm was married to joe biden's daughter. lowe: close families something you have to admire. >> family values. lou: joe biden committed to old town media i believe it was. >> bernie sanders has been in public office since the 1980s, the mayor of burlington. lou: he was not in the soviet union. >> when he takes the job of burlington, one of the first things he does is hires his girlfriend later wife jane and puts her on the payroll. the city council says wait a minute there isn't a job there bernie says too bad i

the country. mexican police today trying to stop nearly 3,000 mostly honduran migrants from making their way north through mexico to the united states. this video showing you hundreds of those migrants crossing the river dividing guatemala and mexico. those who made it across were soon met by armed riot police. mexico's president manuel lopez obrador has offered as many as 4,000 jobs to migrants who are asking for asylum but that offer has been largely ignored. it remains to seen what the government of mexico will do who have forced their way into mexico today. jason jones retired captain from the texas department of safety's intelligence and counter terrorism division. jason, good to have you with us let's start with first
7:37 am
the repeat of another caravan having been formed in guatemala, many of those migrants crossing the river an open question as to whether or not mexico will successfully stop them from making their way to our southern border. yeah, lieu, good to b lou, goodh you again. i give credit to mexico and president trump working to build over the horizon approach to migration. there has been work done to try to work from host nations from mexico all the way down to panama in order to put multiple layers between us and them. that's absolutely the right approach to go about with this. look at the work we are seeing down there. i have to give a lot of credit to the national guard of mexico. they are in this. they are trying to stop these folks on saturday i know that over 650 people
7:38 am
were apprehended and then today we see those numbers continue. they are doing great work. you know me eight months ago i told you i will believe it when i see it. we are starting to see that this is a direct result of the relationships that have been built and what mexico is doing at the request of our president. so it's not just at the guatemalan border and at the mexican border where we are seeing. this there is also going to be multiple layers throughout mexico that's not going to let these people get through through checkpoints that the national guard has built. in addition, the humanitarian visas that normally are given out to citizens cross from mexico, they are denying that as well. this is a great strategy to try to prevent, you know, what we saw in 2019. lou: how do you explain the rejection of lopez obrador's generous offer of 4,004,000 jobs to refugees coming up from guatemala which are
7:39 am
just ant geneticsly rejected in. >> shows you what the real intent is. the real intent is come to the united states. debrief the folks at the southern border. at the end of the day, all these excuses and things they are trying to say. they are fleeing political violence or, you know, violence from gangs. that's not the real issue. i mean, it's just not. lou: so let talk about the real issue. why is it so imperative that these thousands, who have been formed up here, and this is coming after months of no caravans, no efforts, but suddenly this is imperative, what is the organizational context? what is the political context and purpose of this caravan in your best judgment? >> sure, i had a great friend down there. riding with the national guard the last week. i can report to you that
7:40 am
they have been doing great work. back side of this and what is driving. this this is the start of 2020. this is the first real group to test the new foreign policy of the united states and what mexico is doing working in conjunction with us and other nations. and this is -- what they are doing is they are probing the defenses. they are seeing where we have strengths and they are seeing where we have weaknesses and how they are going to go about in 2020 to get around. this while we may look at this as just, you know, a group of people far beyond our borders, really this is a really pivotal moment to see how our foreign policy is going to play out and how we are going to be able to hold them before they get to our border. i have got to tell you, lou, it makes you wonder why have presidents and administrations before president trump on republican and democratic side, why have they not done this before? i mean it, just makes sense. we are seeing the results now. it's a good thing to have this happening at the guatemalan-mexico border and not at the mexico-texas border.
7:41 am
lou: it raises, obviously, the odds of success in a very difficult issue. but, as you point out, going back some eight months, this administration working with the lopez obrador, it is encouraging to see what looks to be -- it may still be fragile, but a real partnership, a real relationship that's been created around this that right now it seems one of mutual respect and a common objective, which is to stabilize both mexico and the united states and that means securing both borders with mexico and guatemala as well as the united states and mexico. let me ask you about fentanyl and the cartels because the cartels have been, it seems to me, and you give us your perspective because you are the expert, but they have been somewhat why hquietesent.
7:42 am
increasing over the course of the past year. your thoughts on fentanyl particularly which it comes obviously in origin it's china. >> it is, lou, and what is driving a lot of this though as good as the relationship has been between our country and our president and the president of mexico and great work we're doing there down along the border with national guard trying to stop the mass migration, along with trying to get more extradited cartel members, high ranking leadership into the u.s. which we have had some great success there the part we are not doing really well with and we have got acknowledge it, president of mexico's strategy for national security in this country is failing. he doesn't have one. the creation of the national guard force is what has happened and a year into his term he still doesn't have a
7:43 am
national strategy. that is a big above tall point as to why we see the cartels battling right now. the reason i go into that is because the cartel also tell you when they're at war and this is what they call it, lou. they call it war. it costs a lot of money. they have got to recoup those losses. that's why four country we are seeing a large amount of fentanyl being moved into the country. lou: are we reacting adequately. >> along with methamphetamine. lou: makes all the sense in the world, jaeson, are we, the united states, our d.e.a., are we reacting inner jet particularly, vigorously against that situation? >> no. i will tell you i don't believe we're, lou. we had had a lot of movement laredo. we need to see more officers in collaboration in that front in my opinion. the major trip wires we are seeing right now that are really concerning me is what you are talking about with methamphetamine and with
7:44 am
these other drugs coming across right now. we need to focus on that and dylann, the administration of d.e.a. needs to really focus on that in 2020. already seeing the numbers go through the roof. lou: jaeson jones always good to talk to you. thanks so much. up next mitt romney seems delivedeliriously happy. might sell a book or two but certainly his. but like most stories. there is far more to this story than meets the eye. we will have those lovely connections here next. stay with us. go beyond. go beyond. because beyond risk... welcome to the neighborhood, guys. there is reward. ♪ ♪ beyond work and life... who else could he be? there is the moment. beyond technology...

7:58 am
addicts and their families and pay this much to go treatment. get out and you don't have these wounds addressed. i believe addiction comes from childhood, comes from, you know, fatherlessness. when my parents divorced when i was 7 years old in 1970 when divorces weren't common. that trendveterans get trauma m. there is no harder worker than an addict. when a addict gets their heart restored and get well they're the best workers can you get. addiction is hard work. people ask me all the time mike, you work so hard. i said i love what i'm doing. addiction was hard work. lou: and it is so destructive of the individual, the family, all of the human potential in this country that is lost. >> yes. lou: i have got to ask you this. we are running out of time. i would like you to come back when we can talk more about this because it's so
