griff: molly, let's bring right in, national border patrol counsel president brandon judd, brandon, thanks for being here. as you all know president biden will head to el paso tomorrow. his first visit to the border and he's promising to address what the administration called unprecedented migrant surge but my question to you is how does this administration secure the border when they continue to maintain as recent as this week that the border is not open? >> first, we have to understand that he's two years too late. the party already started and he's coming in -- we've already seen too many of our united states citizens die of fentanyl overdose, we have seen too many criminals make it into the united states that have evaded apprehension and chaos on our border. what i will say is that these -- you have the governor of colorado saying they are going to start shipping people out of that state. texas, he has to step to the plate and you are eric adams saying they don't have resources to handle cost of people that are coming, he has to step up to the plate. that's the only reason he's doing i

. >> sandra: complete coverage now, brandon judd is standing by, but first griff jenkins, live at the southern border in eagle pass, texas. griff, what is the latest on the president's trip there? >> well, good afternoon, sandra. he will soon have bilateral meetings with mexico's president and canada's prime minister and what's unclear, whether there will be any discussion or plans coming from the meeting about how to combat the cartels. let me take you up to the fox flight drone team and show you here in eagle pass, this is the del rio sector, one of the hardest hit areas, we just had crossers coming and the important point to note that nobody, whether it is humans or narcotics crossed that river, the rio grande without the cartels' knowledge and somebody paid for it and the cartels have been flexing their muscle in recent days in the wake of the arrest of el chapo's son, he was also arrested in 2019 after a lot of bloodshed and they released him. now the cartels are declaring war on the mexican cartels demanding el chapo's son be released after killing 30 people and downing two mili

we'll bring in our next guest, brandon judd.u for joining us. >> good to be with you, bill, thank you. bill: so, let's gets into the new december numbers as griff mentioned dropped late on a friday night, once again about the third month in a row they've done this. these numbers are jaw dropping. over 250,000 migrant encou encounters. 17 people arrested by border patrol on the fbi terror watch list and we're now up to 38 people on the terror watch list arrested at our southern border since october 1st. brandon, your reaction to these numbers. >> so the first thing we have to do is put the numbers in perspective. look at apprehension numbers. december in any typical year is our lowest month, january is our second lowest month. we just recorded the highest month ever in the history of the border patrol last december when it should have been our lowest month and that's what's scary. then of course, you look at terrorists, 17 people on the terrorist watch list in the month of december. in any typical year if we even get six per year

the president of the national border patrol council is brandon judd. he joins me now. works, brandon. >> it does work. it does work as long as we're exercising it completely with every single country that we face. once we start exercising it, we see those populations drop down. the problem is is the cartels, they react and then they go out and they advertise their services to other countries and they get other people across the borders illegally from other countries and that's the problem with title 42. you must exercise it across-the-board with every single country and that's what president trump did and that's why it was so successful. this administration selectively exercises title 42 so the cartel s are able to enrich themselves by just going out getting into the population. when the white house takes a victory lap saying look at what we're doing with cubans, haitian s, you know the other countries, what you then have to look at is compare the numbers to last year, and we're only a tick under our apprehension from last year when we set an all-time record. we're grea

brandon judd, national border patrol council president.jordan soon will be holding the hearings, part one he calls them of the biden border crisis. take a look in the month of december, southwest land border encounters, 251,487. that is an all time record for any month, let alone december. seem when it comes to getting to the bottom of this and finding solutions, no time to lose. >> yeah, and what's interesting about that number that you just showed is december is always our slowest month, followed by january, also slow. so, when you look at these congressional hearings that are coming up, i'm so grateful they are going to happen because the mainstream media is not going to be able to ignore all of the evidence that's going to come out of these hearings. it's going to clearly show that the biden administration could have gotten this under control immediately upon taking office but they allowed it to escalate to get to levels we never would have dreamed we would have been at. when you look at all the evidence that's going to play out, the a

brandon judd talks about how biden is not going to get a good reception. >> based upon what secretarys just said it's not going to be a good reception it shouldn't be good reception. when you hear rhetoric the border is not open when all the evidence shows that the border is wide open, you can't expect border patrol agents to be happy about what this administration is currently doing. and then, on top of that. you look at what they're proposing. if they do not implement the proper policies, programs and operation, it doesn't matter what they say. people are going to continue to cross our borders illegally. agents will continually be pulled out of the field and cartels will continue to rule our border. >> pete: he's right. what they talked about with this new proposal biden is rolling out is effectively a different way to process people who are coming. there's nothing in there about actually securing and stopping this influx of illegality which is basically fake asylum claims which they're talking about more asylum claims for people. it won't get better. let's see if joe biden is willi

brandon judd is the national border patrol council president, kind enough to join us. t sticks out in my mind, brandon. i mean, if you're going to visit the border, you're going to want to see what the problem is at the border. the problem is record number of migrants crossing through, illegal migrants at that. the president tonight see a one. >> neil, you're absolutely correct. and all we have to do is look at what happened after his visit. when he was there, we were apprehending about 3500 people per day. since he's left, since that time, we're now up to 4500 per day. so you can clearly see that his visit did absolutely nothing. his trip to mexico did absolutely nothing. and so if he doesn't come down and he doesn't look at programs and operations, he's not going to pix the problem.. -- fix the problem. and right now we're seeing no pix to what is currently going on. that is what is the so frustrating to us. he came down, and it appeared to us that all it was was a photo op. he brought the mainstream media down, and he cleaned up the city of el paso so nobody got to s

but brandon judd was on the show yesterday and he teed off on just that, listen. >> president biden hasn his authority to stop what is going on on the border right now. he could implement policies and programs and operations. we can stop the cartels. we can get -- we can go after their profits. do everything necessary, we just have to have the programs and operations and what he refuses to give us. >> sandra: why do you believe that is the case he refuses to give them what they need, resources they are asking for to defend our borders? >> we have the money and the resources. what we lack is joe biden's will to secure the border. you can see it with the numbers. i mean, sandra, we never had a month where we had over 200,000 illegal border crossers. the last nine months in a row have been over that mark. this has hit catastrophic catastrophe and bordering on collapse and joe biden will not let the border patrol agents do their jobs. if you instituted the michigan protection protocols, wait in mexico policy, this would stem the tide. >> sandra: i want to draw our viewer's attention, perhap

we talked to brandon judd. he didn't think it would be very warm. about 90 seconds, peter.sked the president about the speaker's vote going on in the house of representatives. what did he have to say? >> well, it was a surprise because we had been told the president wasn't going to insert himself. but we have the bite here.
