PETE HEGSETH (GUEST): And one mention on the border. On the border, this -- it's a failure, no doubt, but when you look at this detail of keeping them in Texas? Why would you keep them in Texas? Well yes, you've got complaints of the blue state mayors, but maybe you've had a plan for a long time to turn Texas blue. Maybe you wanted to turn it purple, so if you're going to open the border, which is the plan, keep them there.
And someone like Governor Abbott foiled that plan by saying, "No, we're busing them out, we're sending it to your home state to make it your problem as well in your sanctuary state." So yes, there's a lot of failure but there's some intentionality there, too.
