the strategy of the mexicans, wasicularly under calderon, going after the kingpins. they didn't really have a strategy initially. what we say in the report is that, as long as mexico doesn't give its arms around the corruption issue and the impunity problem, they have a more effective judicial system. you are not going to get traction against this problem. and you are not going to have the kind of political will, sustained political will, that will deliver significant results. thousands --ns of you have tens of thousands of people who have died in mexico because of this strategy. we are willing to talk in a serious way about the endemic corruption that undermines the cooperation among agencies or levels of government in mexico. that is going to be something that mexicans have to do within the four corners of their country. there are some things the united states can do. first off, i do think we need to sustain this effort. the consumption of drugs in the united states is fueling this problem. sayan't just walk away and that's a problem they have. to appointed crisis

for policy studies in the year generally decided --- excited to a senator marco rubio so with us kingpins and corruption of organized crime so i don't think that marco rubio needs introduction to this audience but i will get the word or to the less and the senator from florida from 2010 and reelected 2016 a member of the committee on appropriations and foreign relations with the resonate much longer viable not keep reading but he has been a leader in international affairs and where they areon going on these issues we're very proud he has been a leader of the extraordinary importance to less with the u.s. engagement globally. you will hear more about it then you will from the but it is just a little bit different from the americantu enterprise institute it is very focused on what we can do and the main reason for that is transnational organized crime that we have not spent a great deal of time focusing on as a country at the nexus of the national security threats to our country and indeed greeting democracy and international security and introduces what otherwise would not be here so in th

this is extraordinarily important in terms of the kingpins heading to venezuela and killing its people. and the farc kingpins who claim that they as what the justice department called the biggest cocaine producer organization in the world didn't make a profit. because they don't have any money except a few ranches here and there and what they can carry in a knapsack. but there are others who postulate they have anywhere from between $2 and $10 billion. how would you react to the idea of an initiative that really insists that the u.s. executive branch go after these targets as priorities to seize those assets, maybe if necessary, new legislation to give them authority to repatriot that information to colombia or venezuela? >> a lot of the framework exists in the current law. it's a matter of policy and directive. ordering the instructive treasury and all the elements of the national power to identify where the funds are being placed and to use our influence over the world banking system to gain access to these funds. and not to keep them for ourself, but rather to send them to these cou

how terrible these human smugglers are and the need to focus intelligence resources against these kingpingglers that are bringing people back and forth. the loss of any life is terrible, and for this to have happened in this sickening way is unconscionable. but we have to make sure we get board of security right, we have to fix our broken immigration system so this type of stuff doesn't happen again. >> we know that in addition to horrific incidents like this, often individuals who are part of these human trafficking rings who come into the united states sometimes end up forced into prostitution or sweat shops or other forms of modern day slavery. >> that's correct, jake. i'm usually in el paso as well, so i represent people in san antonio and el paso. this is something that law enforcement and a number of folks within the private sector are trying to stop in and around the el paso region. this is a problem. a lot of times when we think about border security, we think about in between our ports of entry, but we need to be focusing on our ports of entry. we still don't know whether these f

thus when appropriate, federal prosecutors also seek to charge gang members and the foreign kingpins who supply them with drug offenses. none of these investigations and prosecutions, however, would be possible without the daily sacrifice of the dedicated law enforcement officers who investigate these criminals. specialized task forces comprised of federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement officers, such as the f.b.i.'s safe street task forces, h.s.i.'s operation community shield, and those funded by the organized crime and drug enforcement task forces program are hard at work in the areas with the highest concentration of drug and gang violence. law enforcement efforts to arrest and incarcerate violent gang members have a significant impact on the quality of life in our communities. but enforcement alone will not end gang membership and gang violence. we must also support gang intervention and gang prevention programs. many such programs are funded by the department's grant making components, including the office of justice programs, o.j.p., and the office of community orient

under current law, victims cannot access frozen assets under the kingpin act. i believe the victims of the foreign terrorist organizations which profit and fuel other activity with drug community should be compensated from theld drug money that we've secured. in the 114th congress, i introduced legislation titled the clarifying amendment to provide victims equity act or captive act is the acronym to change that law. my bill passed the house by unanimous consent last year but was stalled in the senate when the office of foreign assets control raised concerns about the bill that they never mentioned to us in the house. i introduced the legislation this congress, and i'm hoping to bring the bill to the floor soon. the situation right now is that the former hostages have been waiting 14 years for justice, and so far they've received absolutely zilch help from the u.s. government that they served so heroically because of the office of foreign assets control. i'd like to get a commitment from you to work with me to find a solution to make these brave americans whole

this is an example of how drug trafficking organization, kingpin smugglers have a complete disregard for life. we need to increase the amount of intelligence on these organizations. there are 19 criminal organizations that are operating there. we need to treat them the way we treat chasing terrorists in places like iraq, afghanistan, yemen, and we had should work closer with her and mexican partners before it gets to our borders. we also need to make sure we have a smart border, where we are using technology in order to detect this kind of activity and stop it from happening. >> shannon: let's pick up on a couple of those things. one of the men tells the story that there is a specific drug cartel those engaged in one leg of this trip, taking $100 a people. he also talked about, corrupt local police and authorities were paid off along the way. to turn a blind eye. we talked about cooperation with mexican officials. how does that work appeared how well is that going? >> we have to remember, and i think the nationalities of the folks that were in the truck have not been identified or it

he was particularly objecting, we are told the impetus was anthony scaramucci, former wall street kingpin coming as the new white house communications director. some interpreted that as maybe taking over briefings themselves. way too soon to talk about that, but that was enough for sean spicer. he let reince priebus know, i am outta here. so he is that there -- he is outta there. there are a number of meetings going on at the white house, whether this is going to jostle the markets, it appears not. there was very little movement in the markets beforehand, very little movement afterward, so no real effect at all at this point. but again, whether this could develop into something more where others leave the administration, reince priebus himself mentioned, of course, chief of staff. there's also been talk that the president is not looking as favorably on steve bannon, of course, his chief adviser on some of of the more political matters like a vat gist position. so it's -- strategist position. it's not as if the president is in love with one style or another. to democratic strategist, conse
