Congressman Mike Waltz: Law enforcement cannot stop Venezuelan gangs in America, need military he...

[Music] you're commuting home with Catz and Cosby now here's John Kats and Maes and Rita Cosby on 77 WABC let's take the congressman is calling yeah let's go to him may maybe he knows Colorado is close to him yeah let's find out well he's he's from Florida so you know yeah that's a little further away it's a little further away I was going to say let's go to Congressman Mike W the smoke didn't go all the way to yeah it didn't go all the way to uh before we get to um of course the interview let me ask you Congressman Waltz first of all we're thrilled to have you here um and by the way congrats you got a new book coming out too which is really awesome in October um and it's going to be sort of the lessons of course that you learned from being a Green Beret and the book is hard truths um so let's get to the hard truth I guess if we could Congressman about Aurora you've got the Democratic governor there saying it didn't happen it's imagination it seems like it's the spin about crime and we see what's happening with our own two eyes at those apartment buildings they are armed Venezuelan cartel gangs yeah here's the hard truth that the uh that the Democrats just don't want to acknowledge these aren't the old kind of street gangs of of the 60s 70s and 80s these are transnational cartels with ties to the Chinese ties to the Russians billions at their disposal they currently control about 30% of Mexico the Mexican Army can't even take them on they shoot down Mexican Air Force aircraft with heavy machine guns and armored vehicles here's the you know here's the dangerous truth is that once they take over a space first the law enforcement can't handle them but then they begin buying off judges buying off local officials intimidating uh electeds and others and literally become a little mini Venezuela or ungoverned parts of Mexico caloa halisco medine from back in the 80s uh we have to nip this cancer in the butt and president Trump is absolutely right and I've introduced the legislation to use military resources to back up law enforcement you need it talk you need iton offensive cyber you absolutely need it these guys are armed to the teeth uh that you know they're not shooting off a little 38 revolver and uh again the the Venezuelan military Venezuelan uh Mexican Army can't even take them on and aren't they thriving congressmen because of the funds they take from the huge uh millions of people who are crossing the border illegally isn't that one of their major funding sources now and fentel from from Human Trafficking from fentanyl from all types of other drugs uh I mean you you name the stolen car Rings you name it they are making billions and billions and again this is transnational coordinating with Russian mafia coordinating with but if there was not if there's not an open border they wouldn't be getting those funds isn't that right oh you're damn straight I mean this is uh this is basically the ungoverned spaces of Mexico and Central America I mean we had gangs taking over government buildings in Ecuador all spreading North and the Democrats are just turning a blind eye because it fits their Progressive narrative uh and you know they're willing to accept this to allow the millions of others uh to come in that's going to transform this country you know Congressman Mike Waltz uh last night we were talking about the conversation and uh it it to me I thought she got such a softball interview and I thought a lot of times she looked Camala Harris looked like deer in the headlights and there was a question about border and she keeps going back to well uh you know Trump didn't want to pass this bill and then she said I would enforce uh the laws at the border what did you make when you heard her saying those things last night which are in direct contrast to what she has said in the past oh it's it's it's just a joke uh there is an entire Montage years worth voluminous uh interviews radio her on the media laughing at the border wall calling it Trump's vanity project saying that it was you know the entire migration issue was completely made up alluding that that he and Republicans uh are racist uh she has not will not uh enforce the Border or our immigration uh or immigration laws she is all for amnesty and we keep replaying the clip and we should when she was asked uh during the 2020 primary race who believes that they should all have government provided Health Care uh and every one of them including commes he was one of the first raised their hand and every time I talk to a homeless veteran every time I talk uh to a teacher whose classroom's too crowded every time I see infrastructure that's over taxed uh we just we literally cannot afford uh to feed and house the entire world but the Democrats would like to have us try and in between there you have these cartels that are literally taking over first it's going to be whole neighbor apartment buildings then it's going to be neighborhoods then it's going to be completely ungoverned spaces that law enforcement can no longer handle that cancer is spreading we've got to nip it in the bud right now you know Congressman uh Mike Waltz um you were a Green Beret and by the way I love again that your book is hard truth think and Lead like a Green Beret coming out in October we got to get you on to talk about it when it comes out Congressman what did you think when you saw um Tim Walls uh being asked about the claims that he inflated his background and then he used the answer uh well my wife says I need to work on my grammar as a military guy what did you think yeah I I relisten uh to the tape and watch the video his grammar was just fine when he said I carried a weapon of war in a war when he said over and over and over again that he retired as a command sergeant major when he stamped it into his military challenge coin uh and then the really Insidious part is when he let literally decades worth of journalists and others other officials describe him is a combat veteran having served in Afghanistan and Iraq and he just smiled and nodded along uh Let It Be implied never corrected a single one of them uh and that may sound like you know okay apples to oranges to a lot of people that's a big damn deal to every veteran out there and that is not an attack on his service I'm so sick of that kind of retort from the Democrats I celebrate his years in the National Guard he should too and stop lying about it uh because if you can't trust him on that on the basics of describing a service then how are you going to how are you going to trust him on anything else it really goes to a character issue and a character flaw that he apparently has you know um Congressman I want to have John um repeat something you had an interesting point about Afghanistan about the withdrawal of Afghanistan how all of that sort of LED well I I was on with Greg Kelly before and I said uh President Biden went to Afghanistan overruled his generals his General says we can't pull out like this and President Biden says no we're pulling out and I said if if he didn't pull out like that number one uh Putin would have never gone into the Ukraine a half a million people died in the Ukraine and Russia because of what President Biden has did he has to have a half a million debts on his shoulders because if he didn't do that in Afghanistan then Ukraine would have never happened and the other thing is all the Democrats that are that love that love women's rights all the women in Afghanistan are now slaves they can't they can't get an education they have to wear masks and and the women are slaves and all the all the environmentalists in the world the Red Sea the Red Sea has that vat that the hoodies the hoodies are following their orders of of Iran and the Quasi sank it and it's the the crude oil four times the size of Exon valz that's right the the re it's going into the Red Sea and where are all the environmentalists saying this is wrong so I don't where are the environmentalists where are the women's rights groups I mean enough is enough and a half a million people died uh in the Ukraine and in Russia I respect the Russian lives and I respect of Ukrainian lives and Harris was the last one in the room when Biden decided he would pull out despite all the staff beside all the milit yeah that's it absolutely your reaction Congressman your reaction well it's not only the 13 gold star families that that you know and those loved ones that are the blood is on their hands it's the it's our Afghan allies that the Taliban is hunting down and torturing right now as we speak it's all of the ukrainians and I would take it a step further October 7th uh certainly wouldn't have happened under Trump's watch but it h happened under Biden and Afghanistan was the original sin that sent that message of weakness to every dictator around the world to say get what you can while you can because there is weakness in this white house we had Gordon Chang on and the Chinese are circling uh uh Philippines pH okay I mean if something happens to the Philippines it's all downhill what did secretary gate say originally and about uh President Biden what did secretary Gat say about President Biden and what did President Obama say about secretary B vice president tell you John I worked for secretary Gates and and he said Joe Biden's been wrong on every single issue uh for the last three decades and and Barack Obama don't underestimate Joe Biden's ability to F it up but I want to I want to foot stomp your POS your point on women's rights you're absolutely right it's not only a generation of women who tasted freedom in Afghanistan and now literally can't leave their home it's the 40% of women that are trafficked over our border or the 40% of women that come over our border are sexually assaulted and sold into trafficking there are rape tents in the in the Darian Gap as a price of passage for the cartels but it's also the weager women in China that are have a mass rape and the environmentalists and the women's rights groups the women's rights groups the environmentalists are not doing crap
