[ applause ] liz: that was president trump telling columbia, you're going to take criminals we're deporting to you and you'll like it. we're joined we former state department christian whiten. what's your take on this? people are loving that after the far left president of columbia caved and sent his presidential plane to pick up de-portanova tees, he did that after trump threatened 25% tariffs going to 50% on columbia and he initially refused to take de-portanova tees and trump threatened massive going for them to not back down. >> it was extremely impressive how quick the columbians folded on that and would take a bit more days and folded like a dol

agent and charged said tva, no one wanted to talk about it but my agent quickly realized that we had a tdar who moved around 12 kilos of fentanyl across the mountains coming into the city so that really started us looking at these traffickers and what they were doing and who they were associating with. and for the next several months we have been able to identify more and more of them, link them to other states, link them to numerous other countries, follow them between these makeshift nightclubs and that is what you see in the images on the screen now. the combination was a federal search warrant executed at one of those makeshift nightclubs and we found about 50 people inside early sunday morning. >> martha: were there drugs and weapons in there? >> absolutely. these are dangerous criminals. you've seen from those videos that came out a few months ago they are carrying pistols and ak-47s and are serious bad guys. we showed up in force. there were pistols found inside, cocaine, crack cocaine and we also found a drug also known as pink cocaine. >> you have been on the job for seven months.
