yeah, abbott labs.ical technology company we started buying abbott on january 29th after the stock pulled back a couple bucks and since then it's off to a nice start. the charitable trust is now up more than 5% in the position which of course you would know if you joined the cnbc investing club and i think abbott, frankly, i think it's just getting started. which is why tonight i want to walk you through the story in depth and why i like it so much. especially after its most recent quarter. of course i've been a fan of abbott labs for years. this company's a terrific innovator, particularly in diabetes management and the cardiology space the stock was a long-term outperformer under the legendary former ceo miles white who passed the torch to robert ford in march of 2020 we used to own abbott for the charitable trust too, holding it from 2017 until 2022, and we called a double by the time we sold it. we had to sell it back then because abbott had a huge covid testing business and that was going to unwind

governor abbott called me and said, we're going to put a stop to this.o on january 10, the governor ordered the use of his texas national guard military force to take control of this situation. so on the night of january 10, in the morning of 11 january, my order to my troops was to secure the park by 6:30 a.m. they got after it. we had hundreds of troops. we had about 1,800 troops to descend on this area, work through the night, putting up barrier all around this park to one, ensure migrants don't get through and two, to ensure this can no longer happen. >> terrible. >> this is what it looks like after. this is that. hasn't been that way since january 11. so there's a capability to stop this from happening. >> [inaudible]. >> any form of barrier. whether it's a wall -- what the governor has done, we're building this wall -- we put up as much quick barriers behind it to put soldiers behind it and dps.

the genius of abbott making immigration a local issue of blue city's?g abbott has done is he's making a local issue for new york. >> he's been politically successful but when you look at the aliens, tens of billions of dollars texas has spent, he's proven even he can't control the company on the border. >> liberal city no it's clearly on the progressive leaders. turning on the will mayor for sharon illegals public funds instead of helping the homeless. one activist says it's time to defund the migrant. >> black and brown children one of the city of chicago are going to be hungry but they still find money to feed illegals. these people are fleeing to our country and taking resources. any more money spent is a true problem not just for black community but the brown and we are asking to defund migrant coming to the city the state of illinois. >> brandon johnson is trying to make up to black and latino owned businesses handed $17 million to feed illegals. >> 17 million-dollar investment for these 18 black and brown small businesses, it really captures what

long before governor abbott started sending anyone to new york. my democratic colleagues in new york didn't have much to say about it. why? because they didn't care. because it didn't impact them. they say, we are a sanctuary state and a sanctuary city. they use billions in taxpayer funds to provide free housing, free healthcare, education, free food and clothing. for undocumented migrants. and now, because it has impacted them, they are complaining. the mayor of new york city, after saying we welcome them, in fact going to the port authority bus terminal to welcome them, now says, this crisis is destroying new york city. now says that we need to cut the nypd budget at a time when crime is still at record highs. this is an absolute disgrace. this problem can be solved very simply. secure the border. increase border personnel. increase support personnel to hear these asylum cases expeditiously. these asylum cases are taking 2- 3 years to be heard at a minimum and nearly 2/3 are rejected when they are heard because poverty in and of itself is not a

so i just think, i think that greg abbott would be great.to stand up and say, we don't know who these people are. we are not liking what we see. we can't afford to live right now, because we are literally destroying our schools, our hospitals, our social services, we cannot -- we cannot sustain this. we just can't. and even more egregious is the growing resentment of the minority community. >> jesse: harold ford jr. >> harold: i don't disagree with anything said. i think for a while, governor abbott and some of the criticism leveled by my party was misplaced. i think that kind of burden that he was facing in texas on border city is and what that meant for those mayors and those communities put aside the political figures, but just people in those communities have into a stand and sustain the kind of influx of people who do not have resources and were looking to really take advantage of resources, so to send people to other cities particularly when they were advocating for a board or policy that was more lenient and more generous than those g

además, abbott, buen amigo de trump.lugar. tan solo en diciembre se reportaban entre 4000 y 5000 arrestos. hoy en día apenas llega a 10 o 15 diariamente. los arrestos y esto es desde que se puso la mano dura aquí en el parque shelby con la presencia de la guardia nacional de texas. y es de lo que se espera que hable el ex presidente de los estados unidos, donald trump. este jueves. julio. sin duda, para el gobernador abbott esos números son son positivos. gracias. paco cuevas para que usted se dé una idea, por qué la migración es un asunto que le importa a los 2 aspirantes a la casa blanca. según una encuesta de gallup, por primera vez desde 2019, por primera vez en 5 años, la migración es el asunto más preocupante para los estadounidenses. en solo un mes pasó del 20 al 28% en el índice de preocupación, superando así incluso a la economía como un asunto central. la nueva encuesta también muestra un récord nunca antes visto sobre cómo es percibida la inmigración ilegal para más de la mitad de los encuestados es una amenaz

what's your assessment of how abbott answer that question? what do you think republicans need to be doing? a couple of things, things on that number when i saw that memo sitting at about a party committee that i recognize how big of a deal issuing that memo is and doing it openly, we would do those on occasion, not very often and they would often be not released to the press when we wouldn't want that out there. but i think doing it publicly quickly and very simply, it wasn't a lot of complexity contrast with the abbott answer in exactly what was in that memo. i think that's talked about how much republicans as a party are spooked when it comes to having to talk about the complexities of this. and i think when, when you talk with the abbott clip, the short answer is the right answer and it's the easiest stance. the more you try to get an ins and outs and you were just talking yourself into a wall here and you're not i helping yourself. and so i think that's why contrast the abbott answer with what the nrsc did. it's night and day. yeah. >> as

that's what you've soon governor abbott do.lt, the crossings at the texas border have gone down considerably, we had over 71 you thousand apprehensions ins december and just over 16,000 in january because the state of texas stepped up. i quite honestly think what that abbott is doing something and president biden is knowing his poll numbers are dropping. cheryl: your colleagues on the republican side have taken a lot of heat to about the fact that the senate bill got tanked. how have you responded to that? now the democrats are saying, look, we gave them a bill, they wanted border security, we anded it to them on a silver platter and they backed out. how do you respond to that they. >> one, i would say the house actually passed the bill, hr2 that they've been sitting on since may and they were concerned with protecting our border they would have passed hr2 in 2023. they didn't. they don't need another bill to be able to secure our border. we had security on our border under the trump a administration. all they had to do was con

>> follow greg abbott's lead on that. many of us in congress have been encouraging him to do what he's doing now, and we're very pleased with it. and, unfortunately, arizona and california, the other border states, and new mexico, all three of those have democratic governors, so they're not going to follow his very bold lead. isn't it amazing, cheryl, how barriers and walls actually work? if i think there's a lot of walls around mansions in malibu and certainly at the white house and in joe biden's beach house in delaware. walls work. but democrats don't want to do that. and another question to ask, i'm sure your viewers are curious, how many of these democratic leaders and folks that are proponents of sanctuary states and cities, how many of them are taking migrants into their personal homes? exactly zero, nada. it's a classic limousine liberals, do as a i say, not as i do. cheryl: well, i think it's coming home to roost especially here in new york with d.a. a alvin bragg who this week said, oh, we're going to be indicti

the fact of the matter is, governor abbott and this operation is taking action. some people may not agree with it. some people may have issues with what it appears to be. however, the federal government continues to work down here on the border. remember, shelby park is a park. it's a small piece of land. we have an entire border that we need to protect and work on, which they continue to do. however, this is the only time that something is getting done. it may not look pretty. it may not look nice. i agree that at a minimum, it's bringing the attention of the rest of the united states to come and say that we need some assistance down here. >> the fear is that there will be in standoff between officials on the ground, state and federal. we know that the department of homeland security says they are demanding access to this. the law does not give them authority over 99.9% of the border and immigration laws. it gives them authority over all of it. thank you so much for being with me ahead of this event that's happening at the park later today. >>> we are hours away

'cause greg abbott is plowing ahead.er the ruling, the texas national guard ignored the supreme court decision and abbott continued construction along the border, claiming that he doesn't have to listen to the supreme court because the biden administration had "broken the compact between the united states and the states," a reference to an archaic idea called the "compact theory and nullification." that theory states that states can ignore any federal laws they choose. it was used to justify secession by the confederacy and was originally championed in the 1830s by vice president, notorious racist, and guy who just got spun around in the barber chair and does not like what he sees, john c. calhoun. calhoun opposed a tariff back then designed to help northern manufacturers, and he convinced his home state of south carolina to pass a law nullifying the tariff in their state. well, that did not please president and pantene-american, andrew jackson. president jackson threatened to invade south carolina, so calhoun backed dow

with these governors, they are saying that they are side being what texas governor greg abbott is doing. now, i'm in shelby park. >> this is the park that the state of texas took over a few weeks ago. imagine central park around the country, this is their central park in eagle pass. and with the state, what they did overnight one day is they wrapped it with razor wire and they blocked the entrances with gates and they plopped humvees and soldiers with long guns. and so this community no longer has access to their public park. and border patrol was also denied access. so i asked governor greg abbott his rationale for not allowing border patrol to gain access to this park since what he is arguing is that the federal government is not enforcing border policy. how can border patrol enforce border policy if they don't have access? here's what he said. take a listen. >> to be clear, from the very beginning and to this moment they have access to the boat ramp and access to the razor wire area if anybody's life is in danger. on top of that, however, the area where we are is an area where the fe

he was joined by republican governor greg abbott who deployed national guard troops to the border alongh barbed wire and buoys in the river, a move the white house that was illegal. the former president repeated that the situation with the border is a threat to national security and is joe biden's fault. >> the entire columns of fighting aged men and they are all at a certain age and you look at them and you say, they look warriors to me and now the united states is being overrun by the biden migrant crime, it is a new form of vicious violation to our country. it is migrant crime. we call it biden migrant crime, but that is a little bit long. >> now president joe biden talked about the discussions he has had with workers along the border. >> i just received a briefing from the border patrol at the border as well as immigration enforcement and they are doing incredible work under really tough conditions. they told me what you already know and we already know. they desperately need more resources. say it again, they desperately need more resources. they need more agents, officers, judges,

>> well, obviously, you know, governor abbott is playing his own politics, right? i don't know if he's running for vice-president or what it is he's doing, but all the things that have happened under his watch on the texas border have not curbed migration into the state. we have even with razor wire, with national guard troops and building his own wall. it's cost texas taxpayers billions of dollars and no real effect in deterring migration, if it did, i would be his number one supporter on it. we could use that money to take care of our veterans and seniors and fund more public schools, a lot more we could have done with the $10 billion that the governor has squandered on the southern border. he needs to work with the federal government and make sure that the dps and cbp are moving in the same direction and he's failed us on that. >> he argues he's got a federal government that's not exactly helping him out. again, still early in this, hopefully cooler heads prevail. congressman, thank you for taking the time, i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> now the other side of

what governor abbott is saying is we need to build an eagle pass base camp for about d built for about 2,000 soldiers down there. basically a fob. you talk about forward operating bases in iraq and afghanistan, they're building one to house the national guard troops and living ad hoc all over the place and federal government not doing it and we have to do it. this is the new announcement the governor made about the camp down there. rachel: i was reading about some of the contracts for the hotels and you've got these pretty mid level not great hotels but they're charging exuberant rates because the national guard, border patrol. pete: government rates. rachel: yeah, government rates so when i read this story issue the first thing that came to my mind was governor abbott wants to secure the border yaws texas resources because the federal government won't help and has to do it in affordable ways to make the money last. he's doing something the federal government isn't doing and trying to find a way to save the taxpayers money and these rates for rag ramadas at like $700 a . guy: it's craz

maybe governor abbott chase them away. film allusion joins us now with the full report. bill? >> we've got some new data from sources that show illegal crossings in texas have just plummeted in recent weeks. now a large majority of the traffic is moving to arizona and right here to california. let's dive into these numbers. cbp sources telling me in the last week of january there were more than 32800 border patrol. about 23500 of those were in arizona and california. that's 71% of the crossings in the last week. why is this happening? texas del rio sector which includes eagle pass was seeing massive illegal crossings in december. some days with 3000 or 4000 in a single day. we remember this viral video. since then, mexico has started increasing enforcement on their side of the border after a late december meeting with u.s. cabinet officials. texas as we have been reporting has locked down their side of the border. they've taken over shelby park and kick the feds out and have been fortifying the area with legions of razor wire, soldiers and troopers. we will talk about the impa
