'Hannity' host slams the White House over lack of transparency about 'crisis' at the southern border
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
We have our reporters on the
ground and will bring you the
details as they emerge.
We start and turn to Joe Biden
who, after falling not once not
twice but three times, trying to
climb the stairs Friday enjoying
Arrestful weekend with zero
public events, Saturday and
Sunday and today, once again,
zero public events.
Needless to say, as we have
predicted, the Biden Blitz is
really getting off to a
spectacular start
following Joes, embarrassing
stumbles the administration
literally, this is my
favorite.
They tried to blame the wind.
The wind blew. I dont know
who is worse.
The tripping three times or
claiming the wind blew over
frail Joe,
you decide
is the president doing? Okay,
after taking a fall,
its windy outside
its very windy,
I almost fell coming up the
steps myself
hes doing one hundred percent fine.
He turned his foot
that was recently broken
gust of wind.
I get blown over all the time.
Dont you
are. We supposed to Joes leg
gave out because of a calm
breeze on a beautiful sunny day.
Jen Psaki had a different
explanation.
Well tell you that, coming up
later in the program,
first back to the so called
Biden, Blitz
usually means a maximum of one
public event a day and most of
this week, Joe will be in
practice practice practice
mode for Thursdays. Big press
conference
remember during the campaign,
Joe Biden, usually completely,
would disappear five to six days
before any big event, like a
debate
in between naps Joe needs a lot
of time to prep and memorize his
lines and study his note cards.
This is especially true. Now
Joes crisis on the board border
is so dire that even Democrats
and even the media mob are
starting to speak out
little late as usual.
Look at your screen,
shocking new photos released.
You see the photos there by
democratic congressman Henry
Cuellar
theyre, showing appalling
conditions at the overcrowding
migrant holding centers.
The Biden administration is now
cramming migrants in to cages
thats right
again
with plastic covers.
Remember it was Joe and Barack.
They build the cages for kids
when Barack Obama was president
remember two thousand and fourteen
two thousand and eighteen the media mob. They lied.
They said Donald Trump did it,
and then they showed video from
the Biden, Obama era.
This is what Joe had to say
about the cages that his
administration, with Barack Obama,
built,
take a look,
this administrations policy
that ripped babies from the arms
of their mothers and fathers,
one of the darkest moments in
our history
yeah. Well, bidens
immoral cages are back
theyre worse than ever,
zero room for social
distancings,
not a lot of mask wearing
many of the facilities at over
one hundred percent capacity.
One holding center migrant
children are taking turns
sleeping with tin, foil, blankets,
on the foil,
many not able to shower for days
on end
the media still unable to see
the inside of these cargo
shipping containers.
You know the ones with the tiny
windows with bars where theyre
dumping, kids
and now fake news CNN is finally,
comparing these conditions to a
prison cell.
Take a look:
you have more kids coming
into the: U Dot S custody, but not
enough space to put them in
shelters.
So that means these kids are
staring in border patrol
facilities for prolonged periods
of time.
Those are facilities not
intended for them.
They look like jail like
conditions like prison cells
with concrete walls, an concrete
benches,
a crisis they caused.
They got rid of the stay in
Mexico policy.
They brought back catch and
release.
According to the Biden
administration, theres, no
crisis whatsoever,
just like theres no riots over
the summer.
They want you to think they have
it totally under control.
They do not.
They want you to know that
theyre, definitely not putting
kids in cages.
Doesnt look like it to us
for some suspicious reason. They
wont. Let any of us see the
inside of these facilities.
In fact, they wont let anyone
in the media so much as speak to
border enforcement officials.
The officials will get in
trouble if they tell the media
anything,
they want all interview requests
to go through Washington, D, DOT c.
According to one prominent photo
journalist, I have photographed
U dot S customs and border
protection under President Bush
Obama and Trump.
Now, zero access is granted to
the media.
He said: theres no modern
precedent for a full media
access to Cbp
across multiple administrations.
This program has been granted
access me yours, truly to
border patrol facilities,
ive been to the border. Fourteen
times,
ive been on a lot of
ride. Alongs with officers
ive been on ATV horseback,
a sight to see.
I was in helicopters,
you name it. I did it. Fourteen time
we boarded patrol boats in Texas
on the Rio Grande,
we visited crossings, multiple
border crossings in all the
states across our southern
border.
We toured a massive warehouse
where confiscated narcotics and
drugs were stored.
Its massive
the hard work of the officials
that protect our borders
couldnt have been any more
gracious on transparent.
Now, the Biden administration,
which vowed to be the most
transparent in history, is
blocking any and all access
its so bad that the folks and
fake news, CNN and Msdmc are
starting to complain.
Their ratings are tumbling. Now
that Donald Trump is out of
office,
maybe they should have msdnc
fake news, CNN picture of Donald
Trump.
Miss me yet
Trump Hashtag, two thousand and twenty four
take a look for yourself
as the situation at the.
U DOT S, Mexico border gets worse.
The media is being kept it from,
despite calls of transparency
from the Biden administration.
Reporters and photographers have
not been allowed in the
facility.
The Biden administration has
not granted a news media access
to the facility citing covid
restrictions, despite the
presidents inaugural address, to
always level with you
blocking access is not levelling
with the american people.
Mr President,
were not getting much
transparency here with what is
happening at the border.
We have to get the images from a
congressman that wont say where
he get the images,
its very frustrating
theres, an obvious
reason for the media blackout,
its an unmitigated disaster, a
complete total failure of
leadership and caused all of it
and being made worse by Joe
Biden and his administration.
Dont take my word for it:
listen to democratic, liberal
congresswoman, Sheila, Jackson, Lee
or as Joe likes to say, Shirley.
Take a look.
We have a situation. That is a
humanitarian concern.
We do have issues with any
number of children.
The numbers are coming up.
I will say that the Biden
Administration has met with
members of Congress.
They have a plan.
The plan does not look like its
working at this time,
but you have to get it
implemented
tonight. This is not
only humanitarian crisis. It is
the situation at the border is
also a health crisis. Covid a
national security crisis yep
even people on the terror watch
list have been caught by yep
border patrol
and according to Foxnews dot com.
Last month alone, human
traffickers tied to dangerous
cartels, made fourteen dollars million every
single solitary day from the
surge of illegal immigrants. Now these illegal immigrants
now these illegal immigrants
that make it across the border, a
apprehending by border patrol
and now being released in
communities to every state in
the union,
many without any Covid 19
testing and many without a
single court date.
I wonder if they go to court, if
they did
no likely odds, are no
Biden. Administration is also
shelling out, get this a
whopping eighty six dollars million to pay for
emergency hotel rooms for
illegal immigrants.
Kids in cages, kids in cargo
shipping containers,
covid outbreaks
people on the terror watch list
coming across the border
facilities at over one hundred percent.
One hundred
one hundred thousand migrants apprehended
last month alone.
Kamala Harris thinks this so so
funny
take a look.
Do you intend to visit the
border
not today
laughter,
but I have before and im sure I
will again
im sure the kids in
the cages and cargo shipping
containers are laughing
whats, so funny Kamala,
our borders are less than secure
than ever.
You and Joe are the reason.
Cartels are making millions
youre helping them
conditions are horrendous
law enforcement is now stretched
razor thin
drug dealers, human traffickers,
catching in all. Thanks to your
failed policies
that is funny,
billions of dollars will pay for
all of this disaster.
Every single person needs to be
fed. Every person needs to be
housed. Every person probably
will end up going to public
schools when theyre young kids
Healthcare will pay. For that,
too,
is that funny
its not funny?
Tens of thousands of new
migrants are on their way
by the way theres tent cities
across the border in Mexico.
Right now filled with migrants
looking for their opportunity to
make the cross
its complete, total out of
control chaos,
the Biden administration Haas, no
one, but themselves to blame
day. One Biden stopped all border
wall construction. He since
promised amnesty. He reinstated
catch and release hes blocking
the deportation of thousands and
on the campaign trail, he urged
migrants himself in his own
words. Unlike the lie, he told
George Stephanopoulos to come to
the border.
He vowed that his administration
would be ready to welcome them
with open arms.
So is it any surprise that the
migrants traveling to the? U dot? S
are decked out in Biden campaign
gear,
one individual telling reporters
that hes making the the
perilous journey because Joe
invited him
take a look.
Would you have tried to do
this when Donald Trump was
president?
Definitely not.
Definitely
we have a chance.
So did you come here because
Joe Biden was elected president?
Basically,
basically,
the man thing was the violence
in our country.
The second thing I think, was Joe
Biden.
You know its like hope.
You know what I mean.
Of course, Joe will be
spending all week, prepping for
the big press conference.
