Summary

President Biden had accepted the resignation of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asked him to step down as record numbers of migrants have been seen entering the country from Mexico. CEO of Sentinel Security Solutions and former adviser at the Department of Homeland Security Charles Marino discusses the reasoning for his resignation, the lack of a national security strategy among the Biden administration, and the urgent need of a quality national security strategy. Later, Charles weighs in on the risks to national security if the border remains so porous, the current struggle of Homeland Security to manage migrants from a wide range of countries, and the role of state law enforcement in this issue. With the 2022 Midterm Elections in the rearview mirror, the focus now turns to the 2024 Presidential Election, with former President Donald Trump the first to announce on the Republican side. Republican Strategist and co-founder of South and Hill Strategies Colin Reed joins to discuss how Trump’s announcement could impact the GOP field in 2024, which Republican candidates he expects to counter him, and dark horse candidates in the Democratic party that could primary Biden.

0:00.0	Sunday, November 20th, 2022, I'm Jessica Rosenthal. After midterm elections, the head of
0:09.9	Customs and Border Protection was pushed out by the Homeland Security Secretary, but many

0:32.7	I'm Ryan Schmelz. The midterms might be over, but the race for 2024 is already out the
0:38.3	gate, with former President Trump officially declaring his intentions to get his old
0:42.7	job back, and President Biden saying he plans to run, can anyone give them a primary
0:48.0	challenge? Or are we due for a rematch?
0:50.8	The electorate has a serious slew of problems in front of them, and they're looking for candidates
0:56.0	who are able to address them.
0:57.8	This is the Fox News rundown from Washington.
1:14.1	The Republicans aren't in control of Congress just yet, that'll happen in January, but
1:18.6	this week we may have watched a preview of how Republicans will handle their concerns
1:22.7	regarding our Southwest border. Days after the midterm elections, Homeland Security Secretary
1:27.8	Alejandro Mayorkas told the Customs and Border Commissioner Chris Magnus to step down
1:32.4	or be fired. Magnus said he and Mayorkas clashed over a retention bonus for the head of
1:37.4	the Border Patrol, and that Magnus went to a border chiefs meeting after Mayorkas
1:42.0	told him not to. Michael Guest is a Mississippi Republican congressman who is also on the Homeland
