Transcript of Griff Jenkins: This is the most important story of the last four years

I want to open it up to the floor and Sarah comes straight to you. You've just been to the border.

She knows she needs Arizona, yet she goes down there and makes a showing like this.

I'm not sure it's enough to convince people.

Oh, no, it isn't. It wasn't enough to convince the people in Douglas. I was at Cochee's County Fair. Everybody there was more than willing to run up and tell me how they felt about the vice president being there. They feel that she purposefully opened up the border along with President Biden, that it wasn't just about erasing borders. I I think, Gryff, you know this as well, from being down there. It was creating a tsunami effect across the globe where people were just pouring into our country. They say 8 million. I see the numbers somewhere over 10 million plus. And not only the criminals that we have documented on this new ICE report, but what about all the undocumented people that came in here, the known God aways, that we have no idea if they've ever been convicted of a crime in their home country, in their homeland. We're never going to know. They're lost among our city, lost among the fabric of America, and our children are in danger, we're in danger. Also, what about the terrorists? This is Kamala's policy. This is Kamala's policy. It is her border policy to leave the border wide open, and she's lying to everyone about this.

It was really a shame.

This is actually what her Deputy Campaign Manager, Griff, had to say about it. This is the spin. Let's take the sound bite.

Obviously, immigration is going to be a topic of discussion, and it's an important one, and it's something that's on the mind of American voters. I think the point that she is making is that look at what is happening. Somebody is actually putting in the work and somebody is talking about it and continuing to stand in the way of progress. Vice President Harris supported a bipartisan bill that would have been the strongest and toughest on border and immigration in American history. Donald Trump opposed that bill and told Republicans to blow it up.

Okay, that bill, of course, would have codified illegal immigration. That's why Trump was against it. But your reaction to that.

Up to 5,000 a day. Look, what's interesting is I don't I don't think he knows. He actually admitted that this is going to be a topic of discussion that's top of voters' minds, because I would argue to you, Jackie, that this chaos of the border that Sarah just so eloquently laid out, eight and a half million that have crossed under this administration. The 1.9 million known got away, so it is 10 million. Now you've got this ICE reporting that there's 15,000 rapists, 13,000 murders, 425,000 convicted criminals that are likely on the streets of the US. I would argue he's admitting that this is the most important story of the last four years, the chaos at the border. To put it into perspective, the DHS pushback was that it's been misinterpreted, that these numbers go back decades. Well, let's go back a decade. Ten years ago, in July 2015, Kate Steinle was murdered, being shot in the back in a pier in San Francisco. It was a huge story for weeks because it was rare. Now, there's a Kate Steinle every single week. We're seeing these stories playing out, and that is the consequences of the border that has been an absolute on fire from when it first started in Texas, Texas started hardening it, then it went to Arizona.

It's still in Arizona, and now in Hacomba, California, particularly in the San Diego sector, where Bill Malouge and I have spent so much time. Sarah, you've been out there as well. That's where we're seeing particularly people that are on the terror watchlist crossing. The majority of the people that are on the terror watchlist come through that sector now. There's the national security threat, Jackie. There's the public safety threat. Now you've got numbers coming out with the administration pushing back. Why? Because they don't want us to know.

Oh, of course not. You're talking, they're saying, let's go back a decade. Let's go back six years. Let's go back to 2018 and hear Kamala Harris chanting.

Up, up with education, down, down with deportation.

Up, up with education, down, down with deportation.

Up, up with education, down, down with deportation.

Up, up with education, down, down with deportation.

Jason.

Yeah. If she wants to solve this problem right now, today, she should be out there advocating to get rid of sanctuary cities and sanctuary states. Because Chris In June, he's got a lot of nerve going out there saying, Well, a lot of these people are incarcerated right now. The problem with these sanctuary cities and states is they'll have somebody that's here illegally convicted of a crime, and they won't cooperate with ICE. They can't do their job. That's on all the Democrats. Democrats. That's not just on Kamala Harris, that's on all the Democrats. Don't tell me that you're trying to secure the border when you're, by the hundreds of thousands, flying people in from these terrorist countries like Cuba. You're flying them into the United States and Venezuela so that they don't even show up in any of the stats.

Or what about the former chief from San Diego testifying, We have SIAs, we have special interest aliens that are crossing this border like we have never seen before. He was specifically asked by this administration, by Harrison Biden, to keep it on the down low and to not put those numbers out. That increase was significant.

Let's also whenever they say, Oh, well, Donald Trump was opposed to this border bill, The Democrats had the House, the Senate, and the presidency for the first two of the years of this administration. They didn't need a single Democrat. They didn't think that was an issue. For three years, they lied to the American people day after day after day, said the border was secure. Obviously, they were lying to us. And now, days before the election, wallah. Oh, it was Donald Trump's fault.

Are you kidding me? They're trying to spin the story a little bit so that they can claw back a couple of points. You know this better than anybody. In an election, they want to just not lose on the immigration issue by 18 points. They'd rather just lose it by 11 points. Because it looks better. Claw a few points back. But I would say if I could ask Vice President Harris a question, I would say, will you release all of the data that you have to show how many rapists, murderers, other criminals that are convicted that have been released under your watch? And in previous administrations, the Trump one, the Obama one, go back to Bush, as much data as you got, because at the end of the day, the American people deserve simply the truth. And they can make up their own mind rather than having them try and spin it or in worst case, as Erin Heike, the chief in San Diego sector said, it was essentially a cover up.

You know what I would ask her, Griff? I would ask her, Vice President, you have the authority now to shut down that border. Why don't you just do it? You don't need to go to anyone else. You don't need to go to the Senate. You don't need to go to Congress. Just shut it down. But it's her policy, and that's why she doesn't want to shut it down.

Well, and a little bit later, we'll be talking about what happens when illegals go and they're not asked for identification and potentially want to try to vote. This is a huge issue, election integrity, as we're heading into November. Thoughts?

No. Absolutely. There are some places where you're not required to show an identification. New York is one of them. It is so fundamentally wrong. It doesn't mean don't show up and vote, America. Go vote. You got to make sure and vote. But it is fundamentally bad to its core. Every single Democrat voted against the idea of the Save Act to actually require that somebody be a citizen of the United States to vote in the election. Every one of the Democrats, with, I think, four or five members in the House, they all voted against it.

All right, we're going to leave it there.
