Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:

  • While appearing on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed that the Biden Administration has been preparing for the end of Title 42, and subsequent surge of migrant crossings at the U.S. southern border, for over a year.

And that money should be redistributed to black residents. Welcome back to the show. Glad you were here today. A55-3912-10 on Twitter at Rich Zioly. You know, speaking of the border and the mess that's there, Alejandro Mayorkas is actually blaming wildfires in Mexico for what's happening at the border, which is, of course, a lot.

1:00.0

So, thanks to our buddy, Santo. Santo has had the playlist today. And so far, we have heard from our buddy, Santo, Philadelphia Freedom.

1:30.0

Sixers. Ain't no stoppin' us now. Dancein' on my own. It's gonna be gonna fly now. And we have three more that'll come this hour as well. So, thanks to Santo for being a great friend of the show and a great supporter of the Travis Manion Foundation at our radio phone, which was great. All right. Now, here's a deal. Here's a deal. And this is the key part of the craziness in the world in which we live. The White House is trying to spin everything today, but everything's fine with the border.

1:59.9

And there will be a lot of people who are gonna say that. A lot of people. This is Karin Jean-Pierre, the White House fembot. We've got her programming all jazzed up as they lubricated her circuits over the weekend and uploaded new talking points that, of course, is pure BS on the border. Take a listen.

2:19.9

Secretary Mayorkas has said, he's not worried about Title 42 expiring that you are prepared, that he feels confident, is the president confident that you are doing everything you can to be prepared for this. We are confident.

2:31.9

With the tools that we have in front of us, that we are doing everything that we can. We have a robust multi-agency plan to, who mainly manage the border through enforcement, deterrence, and diplomacy.

2:43.9

And we're implementing that plan with our regional partners using the few tools we have remaining because, again, Congress has failed to act.

2:51.9

Congress has failed to act. Everything's fine. We've got a plan. We've got a robust plan in place. Everything's good.

2:57.9

We just, it's just Congress. They haven't, they haven't act. All right. This is, right now, this is, here we go, ahead of the historic surge of Title 42 ending.

3:07.9

Even MSNBC's reporter, Guad Venegas, I don't know if I'm saying that correctly. Guad Venegas is acknowledging that, yes, the border facilities are already a capacity, and this is before Title 42 officially ends, cut 10.

3:21.9

Now, border patrol officers have been arriving throughout the day. We were here all of yesterday. They do what they can. They've told us that their facilities are at capacity, both border patrol stations and the processing centers.

3:33.9

And that's why these migrants have to remain here waiting for the border patrol agents to finally come in and they do come throughout the day.

3:39.9

They have vans. They load up the women and children, some of the families, but some of these men say they've been here for days.

3:45.9

And you can actually hear some of them that will yell asking us to help them charge their phones, some of them need water, some of them want food.

3:53.9

And throughout the day, we also have some organizations that bring some of that water, some of the food.

3:58.9

Border patrol has also provided food and water during the time we've been here, but they have been overwhelmed.

4:03.9

And right now, we use you able two to 300. They keep coming throughout the day as border patrol will take some of them to get processed.

4:10.9

And this is just one of the camps. There's another camp less than a mile away in that direction.

4:15.9

And of course, we've seen this surge all across the Mexico, U.S. border.

4:20.9

All right, now, okay, you hear that, right? Title 42 is set to end on Thursday, this Thursday.

4:27.9

And they're ready and they're ready for it, but yet they're not ready, of course, because it's also a disaster.
