We are seeing a wide array of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border. Sandra the warning from the fbi director Christopher Wray as you look live at the southern border. Just as President Biden departs for battleground wisconsin. John polls showing biden and trump are running neck and neck in wisconsin and one of the top issues, the border crisis. 43 of wisconsin voters say it is extremely important to them. Sandra and welcome, everyone. Im sandra smith in new york on this wednesday afternoon. Glad you are here. John john roberts in washington. Good To Be With You for this middle of the week wednesday as opposed to wednesdays that fall on other parts of the week. This is america reports. National Border PatrolCouncil President brandon judd is blasting the Biden Administration for not getting a handle on the crisis, new details about the Terror Threat coming from the southern border. Chris wray knew this was happening six months into the administration. Saw a huge uptick six months in the administration. Maybe if i was out in front of that, we wouldnt have gotten to this specific point. Sandra lets get straight to gillian turner, live at the State Department on the story for us. What did we learn about the border threat after two days of this testimony . Gillian perhaps the most alarming Reality Check from the intelligence chiefs, known or suspected terrorists seeking to cross the u. S. Border from mexico has been increasing now for five years. Listen to the fbi director. Have individuals on the known terrorist list, suspected terrorist list, nofly list presented them at u. S. Airports once entering the United States, attempting to fly. I believe the answer to that is yes. Gillian the bigger threat picture when it comes to terrorism is even more alarming. The Terrorist Threat Level that we are contending with right now is at a whole other level from an already heightened Terrorist Threat Level that we were seeing even before october 7th. Youve seen a gallery of foreign Terrorist Organizations calling for Terrorist Attacks against us in a way that we havent seen in a long, long time. Gillian terrorism now hardly the only National Security threat emanating from the southern border. The threat from illicit drugs remains at historic levels with mexican organizations supplying and moving large amounts of synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl into the United States. More than 100,000 americans have died from drugrelated overdoses during the past year and most deaths have been attributed to illicit fentanyl. Gillian we reported this, John And Sandra on monday, worth repeating, learned in Testimony Isis is trying to make inroads that the fbi director has seen, with Human Smuggling Networks that are just opposite the United States on the mexican side of the border so that is something they say they are tracking very closely right now. Also important to flag, we are going to hear from Secretary Blinken in a few moments, address the press from the State Department. Rare occurrence. Well be keeping a close eye on that. Sandra gillian, thank you. John. John it really is troubling what chris wray said and that Gillian Iterated there again, people with connections to isis are trying to get people into this country, and what does that mean, and that we have all of these hundreds of thousands of gotaways, who are gotaways for the very reason they did not want to turn themselves into the Border Patrol. How many of those people were just here simply trying to find a job and how many are here for nefarious intent. Sandra the threats from within, and wall street journal, Terror Threats in europe, linked to the gaza war, and iran, growing array of threats from extremists. The warning is here. John there are so many different aspects to all of this and makes you wonder if the Biden Administration really is focusing on the overall bigger problem here. President biden, by the way, hitting the Campaign Trail in wisconsin. Air force one taking off now from joint base andrews. The president will try to rally support where he and former President Trump are neck and neck in the latest fox power rankings. Mike tobin is live in milwaukee with more on this. Mike. The delegate votes locked in, the horses are on the track. And here at the boys and girls club, announce 36. 6 million grant to overhaul sixth street in front of the boys and girls club, part of a 3 billion Infrastructure Investment program nationwide. Hes in full Campaign Mode, met with the Executive Committee of the Teamsters Union as well as the rank and file committee, hoping to win the endorsement of the historic union, and 1. 3 million members. Teamsters president obrien said the endorsement will focus on issues important to the members. They are not going to worry about age. President biden, you know, he answered the questions, answered them thoroughly, he was well prepped and like anything else. People can focus on the negative, im not going to do that, im not going to attack anybody personally. With the Badger State A Battleground state, no one wants to make the mistake Hillary Clinton and take wisconsin for granted with the ten electoral votes. President trump won it by 22000 in 2016, less than 1 . Biden won it by 20,000, a smaller margin and the republicans will hold their convention here in july. John. John mike tobin, would love a bacon box from usingers if you have a chance. Sandra more on this, governor glenn youngkin. Your reaction as both candidates have clinched their partys nominations. First of all, John And Sandra, thank you for having me, great To Be With You and listen, the game is on, both candidates are clearly in Campaign Mode and listen, in virginia, virginia voters spoke loudly, and last week i endorsed President Trump. We need real leadership in this nation, and we cant any longer have an open border. We cant have a weak Foreign Policy and certainly cant have an economy that has unleashed inflation for the last few years that is stealing the hardearned money of virginians and americans. Time for a closed border and secure border to project strength around the world and Rip Roaring Economy. We cant have another four years of joe biden, we know that. John the issue of immigration, a big topic during super tuesday, virginia cited that as one of their top issues. Seemed to fall on deaf ears on a viral cable network, hosts seemed to make a to make a mockery. I live in virginia, immigration was the number one issue, it could change. Virginia does have a border with west virginia. [laughter] very contested area. John forget what some people have called the nearest elicit musings of an oxford woman there, im sure the parents and that 14yearold girl who was Sexual Assaulted by an illegal immigrant from venezuela are not laughing about this. I mean, it is a big issue there in the commonwealth. And for people to just laugh it off like those folks did, how does that strike you . John, its just stunning that not everybody recognizes that the open border has turned every state into a border state. It is a humanitarian crisis, its a drug crisis, its a National Security crisis and it impacts virginians every single day. On average, five are dying from fentanyl overdoses and yes, we of course are all heart broken over laken rileys death and when she was murdered by an illegal immigrant, and a Sexual Assault by an immigrant here in virginia. Its such an important issue going into 2024. The president could solve this with a stroke of a pen and he refuses to do it. We need to secure our border, provide safe and secure communities for virginians and americans, and this is not just an issue presenting itself at the national level. Ive got a General Assembly thats controlled with small majorities by democrat, they just sent me a bill to allow noncitizens to be police chiefs. They have sent me a bill to expand medicaid for illegal immigrants. This is what the Progressive Left is doing, secure the border and reestablish a safe america where we know we do not have terrorists coming over the border, we know who is in america and why they are here, and we shut off this drug trade trying to Poison America every day of the week. Sandra to be having this debate in the wake of these awful, awful things that have happened, murder there, obviously in georgia, and the 14yearold girl, Sexual Assault that took place in virginia, youve got one of our reporters, Hillary Vaughan tracked down some of the democrats on the hill to ask them about this debate over illegal undocumented, i dont know, wasnt it newcomers last week, listen here. Do you think it was appropriate for the president to use the term illegal in the State Of The Union . No, and he addressed that. I dont use that term. He was reflecting a term that many republicans use. Why is it wrong for someone to call someone that entered the country illegal an illegal immigrant. Its classifying a human being and no human being is illegal. Calling any Human Illegal feels like all the answers should start out with the condemnation of the awful crimes carried out by these undocumented or illegal immigrants. Governor. Yeah, well first of all, the issue at hand here is an open border where people are flowing over at numbers we cant even concede. We dont know where they are going. The State Department is flying folks, secret flights in the middle of the night in the United States and even governors dont know. The Republican Governors Association sent a letter to the president and said please tell us who you are setting loose in our states so we can keep our citizens safe and now of course we are starting to see real examples of violence and in fact, murder. We have got to go to work to keep our citizens safe. One of the big challenges is of course there is just two visions for america here, like two visions for virginia. One vision for america is one with an open border and weak Foreign Policy, and economy that continues to have inflation run away from it. And theres another vision for america which is to have secure borders and to be strong internationally, to have a Rip Roaring Economy that lifts up everybody and allows Hard Working Americans to keep more of their hard earned money. And of course, the answer from the other side is always raise taxes and spend more. Im dealing with the same thing in the commonwealth of virginia. The first two years of my administration we reduced taxes by 5 billion, 5 billion of tax relief. And all it took was the General Assembly, now controlled by democrats, 60 days to send me a broken backwards budget to increase taxes by 2. 6 billion in 60 days. The bottom line is, theres an understanding about what works for america and for virginia and of course what we are not seeing from the current president is any of those elements and thats what we are going to work for every single day, not just in virginia, but we need it in america, too. John all right, you have to wait until november of next year to try to change that. And you are back up for reelection then as well. So, its going to be a busy year. Governor, good to talk to you. Thank you. Taking a live look at the State Department where we are expecting Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken to speak at any moment. A lot of crisis on his plate.

Sandra fox news alert, watching the dow on pace for a record close, up 100 points. Not a huge gain on the day but notable that it continues to reach for record highs. There is some optimism on wall street that perhaps an Interest Rate cut may be coming soon and that would be welcome news to investors who are watching this. John. John look at that, wow. Unbelievable. All right, huge news coming out of the u. K. , the countrys National Health service just declared a ban on Puberty Blockers for kids, citing a lack of research on their longterm effects. Our next guest knows all too well the dangers of gender changing treatments. She received the care at just 13 years old and has recently detransitioned but still lives with the irreversible side effects of the treatment. Chloe cole joins us. Good to hav. U. K. Was a leader in transgender treatments for young people. What do you make of the sudden 180 . Thank you for having me. This is huge because we are seeing as all these European Countries that pioneered this, they are reversing course and stopping the treatments in children. Of course right now the u. S. Is far behind but they are going to follow. Its important that we ban these procedures in children as soon as possible. Because the moment that you look at the evidence it becomes clear just how destructive these treatments are on youth. John so, and you you testified to that in a very public setting. You were before Congress Last year. We had you on just shortly after that, but rewind the clock back to your testimony last year where you explained very compelling terms the problems with the treatment that you received at the hands of a socalled Gender Specialist. The Gender Specialist i was taken to see told my parents i need to be put on puberty blocking drugs right away. He asked the question, would you rather have a dead daughter or living transgender son . The choice was enough for my parents to let their guard down, the specialist told the parents they could have a dead daughter or a live transgender son, i was not suicidal, i was a happy child who struggled, however, 16, after my surgery, i did become suicidal. John and you are still dealing with the post effects of that to this day. Yes, every single one of the treatments that i was on, i was on the publicer t i Puberty Blockers and underwent surgery. Im still experiencing ill effects from to this day. And the blockers ultimately were the gateway dru
