and hector ga garza. idea that this president had to declare a national emergency and is feeling the onslaught of response, we action and the rhetoric of the radical dimm left because he wants to protect the american people and stop the cartels. he's the only american president who had the guts to say cartel. >> i agree with you 100%. it's great to be on the show. i want to say hi from the great state of texas. the rhetoric out there is so strong. i was in el paso for the trump rally talking to regular el pasoans and they want this wall. their voice is not being heard on the border because they are hiding that information. i'm here as a texas state representative to make sure they get the safety we need in texas, whether washington, d.c. gets their act together or not. we here in texas will take care of texas. lou: one of the people protecting that border, hector garza, the agents who do protect us. the border patrol, the border patrol council telling the american congress and the american people what you

patrol council, hector garza. hector, it's extraordinary to hear the president explained to the american people what a national crisis the border represents, now porous, wide open to every kind of illegal smuggling that one can imagine, with devastating effect on our society. your thoughts on his voice seemingly rising alone in our nation's capital, to raise the alarm? >> well, president trump is right when he says we need to do more on the border. we need to do more on ports of entry and in between ports of entry. we saw the apprehension of fentanyl letter border crossing that could kill millions of americans. a couple weeks ago we saw over 700 pounds of cocaine in the rio grande valley coming in between ports of entry. yesterday we saw math coming through the border in arizona. clearly, the war on drugs is not over. we appreciate president trump wants to do more. >> lou: the war is not over. for crying out loud, we have seen since 1989 clear and present danger, tom clancy's book in 1989. we have seen the amount,

joining me, national border patrol agent, hector garza. tty hard saying this is all made up and it's a political stunt. let's not forget, hector. many, many members of the left begs for more funding. i believe bill richardson said a national knowledge should be declared. what is different about now? >> we have been sounding the alarm on the dangerous criminals coming across our border. we are talking about dangerous criminal aliens including gang members, murderers and kidnappers it's an emergency. we need to make sure we stop this crisis. >> you talk about the gang members and identified a series of them. the other thing no one wants to talk about and everybody gets upset when it comes up, but it's real. i have spent 13 years reporting on it, and that's the activity we see of hezbollah in latin america. i asked mike pompeo specifically about hezbollah in venezuela. i want you to hear what he says. if we have this many people coming into the country. if you look at the size of these crowds and caravans, you have to worry about things like t

and hector garza, national border council. thank you for joining me on this important night.et me ask you, mr. garza, this is an argument about whether or not there is an emergency. we know in 2017, over 70,000 americans died of overdoses primarily daw to opioids. fentanyl and heroin. that is more than the 58,000 people who died in all of the years in vietnam war combined. one year, 70,000 americans dead from drugs that come primarily 80-90% from the southern border. is that not an emergency, sir? >> clearly it's a humanitarian crisis and emergency. what we see right now is between the ports of entry we see dangerous drugs and we yet to consider between the port of entry they are unsecured locations. ports of entry are secured location with technology and manpower. between ports of entry we don't have that technology. we don't have the manpower. yes, it's a crisis. president trump should declare an emergency. >> tammy: you see this every day. the men and women you represent see this every day. mr. holman, your experience, too, invaluable here in that there are arguments from

steve: border patrol agent hector garza vice president of the border patrol council he joins us with it's just very disappointing and disgusting that these people would vandalize the museum that honors border patrol agents and honors those agents that have made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting their nation. i wish these people would hold the drug cartels accountable for putting all these people at risk and all these aliens that die while they are coming across the border. but, again, these are the results when people vilify the work of the border patrol and work. ainsley: how did they get inside and have a protest inside the museum and deface some of the pictures and some of the items in the museum? >> well, this museum has been in the community since 1985. it's a public museum part-time are welcome. schools out there go out to the museum so the students can learn the history of the u.s. border patrol. and they made access. they had access to the museum and instead of honoring our agents they vandalized the museum and it's very, very unfortunate. brian: we got the photos and vide
