Summary
Mark Morgan, former Acting Commissioner of the Border Patrol under President Trump, discusses the Biden Administration national security posture leading to the 21st anniversary of 9/11, and the toll of the southern border crisis. Morgan, a former FBI agent, discusses his memories of 9/11, a fateful day that would transform the United States for decades to come, and the FBI "from a law enforcement reactive organization to a proactive preventative, intelligence driven national security organization.” Morgan says that following 9/11, the United States moved from reactive, to "preventative and proactive through intelligence, intelligence driven threat based, intelligence driven operational focus.” Saying that, what he saw in withdrawal from Afghanistan last August, "is by pulling out the way that we did, we lost our eyes and ears, we lost a significant degree of intelligence, so not only did it return to a safe haven and a terrorist operating base, but at the same time, we've lost key intelligence, and so I feel after more than two decades, I feel like we've given up so much that we gained through intelligence, and it just really worrying.” Mark explains that now with the open southern border, "we have the intelligence community and even Director Wray, when he was finally forced in a corner to answer and say, the open border is an absolutely unnecessary security vulnerability and a threat that we should be serious about."
