This is exactly what I voted for.
Same, but I DID NOT vote to have this under the Dept of Ag. If that's true, it definitely needs to be changed to DOD, swiftly. Please correct me if I am wrong, which I hope I am.
@@FLCindy you’re joking, right? I guess you should’ve looked into that before you cast your vote.
Exactly!!!
@justbeachy
Do you really think she would have casted her vote for KH instead because it was Dept of Ag and not DOD?
PLEASE.
And hope the security WILL LAST FOREVER.
I was born in America in 1980, and this is the most thrilling time for my country I've ever witnessed. America is not only going to get back on track -- I believe it will soon be the best it's ever been! Go Pete and Tom!
I was born in 1981! I'm excited to be an American Citizen 🎉❤ I love this country!!!
Born in 65. Lived through president Reagan. It was awesome. President Trump + 10 Better.
I was born in 1981 and this doesn’t feel thrilling, if the presidents in past did there jobs correctly we would not be in this situation, just feels like we are reconstructing when it should have been constructed decades ago, we should be somewhere else, better, faster, stronger, stealthier, but it seems like this is the stage we have to be in, I’ll just continue to improve myself then and hope the best for my children and future grandchildren.
The Americans are little children, the cartels have NEVER attacked US authorities, it is the American GOVERNMENT that is spreading a farce as an Excuse to invade Mexico and steal its resources. Furthermore, drugs are their business, it is managed by the CIA, DEA and FBI.
To those of you born in the 80’s
The United States Of America used to be incredible.
We have to get back to where ONE INCOME can support a family.
Back to affordable home ownership.
And END THE CRIMINAL FOREIGN INVASION.
After 4 years, I am finally proud to be an American citizen again
Where was your pride before? Sulking and holding your hat in troubled times is when nations fall from within.
@@RobertShaffer-qh3qbI think the word is embarrassed due to the Biden/Harris administration
Blind beyond measure. It's sad to see the common American doesn't see what's really going on in the country and the world at large...but it's your own choice and you won't have anyone to blame but yourself. I can't really say what I want or it'll be deleted but hopefully y'all snap out of it while there's still time.
We have a Felon for a president. America is a joke.
@ I for one would take President Trump running America from a prison cell over Harris/Halz in the whitehouse driving the final nail into the US economies coffin that democrats hand built!
Spoke to a recruiter a week ago. Taking my asvab at the end of this month. joining the U.S Army active duty, Leaving my cdl full time trucking job to serve my country under this administration. CANNOT WAIT.
Thank you, Mark!! We appreciate you and what you're doing!!!
I love you man! You are a true Patriot! I am 60 born in Armenia legally came to US and love this country and will give my life to it if needed.I thought about joining something myself maybe citizens platoon
My son 21, Daughter 24, & Son in Law 26 are all Army enlisted and I appreciate you as much as them!
@@1eyewilly
They will be homeless and broke.
Thank you Mark. You're a brave young man!
It’s refreshing to see competent Americans in charge.
The way it should be.
Yeah, so competent, that they sold you to Elon, he paid 44 billion for Twitter and 300 million for America, means that for trump you are not worth even one dollar.
he's an idiot, and you are his bootlicker
It's so wonderful to hear real Americans talking about helping our country again!
It's not helping at all. The criminals are in your own country and you know what: Crime has even been decreasing for years.
@@joguess87 YOU don't lived in the U.S. Trump has done more to help US in 18 days, than Biden done in 37 years. The crime rate has dropped sharply in the past 3 weeks.
@@joguess87 Because the left no longer records crime.
the media is out for blood. they need to be reigned in
@@joguess87 That's simply not true. Crime--especially violent--spiked during the lockdowns.
Nonetheless, we're going to spend two solid years getting rid of illegal alien criminals. If you
don't like it, NOBODY CARES.
I am so proud and comforted that you two are in charge of the border! Thank you both!
Agree 100%
then by right they should be right there everyday also.. not just appearing for press conf..
@@JC-wj3hx Yeah sure 🙄 Like every boss or supervisor or business owner you ever worked for showed up on the line every day working alongside you. Grow up.
@@JC-wj3hx Dude they have also been in swing states where the illegals have set up their own towns in apartment complexes. They shouldn't be in one place when the problem is everywhere!
@@JC-wj3hx That's now how you manage people. Creep didn't make a single trip to the border when he was in office, probably because he's trip and die. These guys are managing the process, which is what they were empowered to do. The other boots on the ground, do the heavy lifting. This is how you do it.
NO BORDER , NO COUNTRY
Correct! No walls no nation.
Borders are racist !
100% That was their evil agenda..
That is the Enemies Domestic intention.
what country you talking about? the one you terrorists attack weekly?
What a refreshing change, a real news interview with real information. America is finally back!
Thanks Pete hegseth and Tom Homan
...and President Trump!
Fully support
DO NOT TRUST ANYONE OR ANYTHING THAT HAS OR WILL OR CAN VIOLATE OUR SOVEREIGNTY SAFETY OR SOUL
They should make a buddy cop movie together
Securing the border protecting our home is the duty of all Americans. Shame on Biden administration and Democrats. Biden, Kamala, Alejandro Mayorkas and those democrats whom supported the open border policy should be jailed.
This is what our military is supposed to do; protect America and its citizens.
Naw...
Yessir
Duh, right!!!!!!!??😊
Boo
Nooooo, I thought it was to have woke Generals like Mark Milly read about WHITE RAGE!!! & to teach dei and trans policies and to teach hatred for this country under critical race theory.
Finally we are guarding our own borders instead of everyone else's!
Congratulations to Americans for having these fine men taking care of your safety!!
@HTub-bo2yl Read a book.
@HTub-bo2yl BECAUSE YOUR AN IGNORANT__CK!! THAT'S WHY!!!
"We will defend this line." Appreciate you so much. If we don't have a border, we don't have a country.
When Orban said exactly these words in 2015 about Hungary, the liberals in EU went crazy. All around the globe they want chaos. And their crown jewel was pushing the US into anarchy. Great to see you are finally fighting back.
murica we back baby
We will take money from the Cartel and hire gang members to patrol our boards...
The intent of Enemies Domestic is to destroy the country.
Thank you for videoing the entire press conference and posting it here without overlaying the talking heads.
Praying for the men and women doing the hard work of protecting our border

I am happy you are here. Thank you for coming here with us. Alot of my friends came in legally and they had to go through a process. They are now proud citizens and I am so happy to be a part of their lives.
So wonderful! Thank you Hegseth, Homan, ICE, soldiers, etx!

This is what leadership looks like.
What would you expect from an administration that have no idea what a woman is?
This is a remarkable display of encouraged competence over weaponised incompetence
@@bobfish3176 it wasnt just an administration its half of our citizens. we have to figure out how to solve that huge problem. how does our country recover if the biggest problem we have isnt being addressed?
@lyft4238 That's precisely aptly put!!
Yes!
Only Democrats and Cartels are offended and angry by this report. Let that sink in.
Water is wet.
Who cares, demons will fall and demoncrates and southern hillbilly people will lose.
And Selena gomez.
REASON WHY HER NAME IS CARTEL QUEEN KAMALA HARRIS, JOKE BIDEN AND THE REST OF RADICAL LEFT LIBERAL SOCIALISTS ONLY ONE AGENDA THE COLLAPSE OF AMERICA OPERATED BY OSAMA OBAMA!!
They need their slaves! Dems love their exploited illegals to drive their produce prices down. They also need the voter base from illegals
I don’t remember ever being so proud to be an American as I am now.
Yessss!
I got goosebumps watching this!! I worked that border when I was in the Marine Corps with JTF6 in the 90’s. The American public has NO idea how bad it truly is!
Semper Fi fellow Jarhead!
@@TheRandyGrSemper Fi brother!!
Are we watching the northern border too?
That Canada is something else
@ yes. Canada is negotiating tariffs to sure up the border as of today
Yeah, probably might cause a war on the USA
I stopped watching the news four years ago, I’m back! And so is America! So proud of the new leadership.
Finally competent people in charge
As a Mexican-American I totally understand why this is happening. It went on for too long and it went too far. I hate seeing people on the streets drugged out on fentanyl. Whether it’s a white, black, or brown person I do not want to see any human being be poisoned by cartels and drug traffickers.
Maybe the smart solution is dealing with drug addiction.
If so many weren't addicted the drug problem would impact
our country to a lesser degree.
And ungrateful Mexicans protesting in our streets waiving Mexican flags.
Agreed! Thank you for speaking truth regardless of ethnicity. Wrong is wrong. I pray that people will not see this policy as anti-mexican or anti -immigrant because it not. Safety & security is first priority!
@@Flash3-22 I agree this also needs to get addressed but what is going on right now at our borders is a tragedy. I understand we probably wouldn’t be able to stop it completely but the reality is that we’re getting all sorts of drugs dumped into our communities. Lots of young kids are affected. Hard to address addiction when the main target is vulnerable people/children.
I'm confused. Are you a Mexican or an American?
That duo of Pete and Tom is the best that you could EVER hope for!! Add in Kristy Noem and we can’t lose!!
Pete & Tom Yes... Noem is there for photo ops, hasn't done a thing...leave this job to THE MEN!!!!!

It is so much common sense how can anyone be against this. Yet there are people who are. Sad. Go get them Tom and Pete!!! So happy for both of you getting this assignment.
It's because they're misled or they feel for the families who are trying to get a better life. We definitely need to work on making our immigration process take less than 7 years
Misled by democrats losing their illegal vote majority. Sneaking potential dem voters to win big enough to rig it where they will never lose(making DC a state for example)
Thank you Pete and Tom and all border patrol
Defund sanctuary cities.
Congress will never let that happen. Oh well.
start with Denver, we didn’t vote for that BS

And make an EO that feds can't give aid or buy anything from states with anti-2A laws.

Talk talk talk ,Homan get the mass deportations started NOW , they were supposed to start on day one, there are millions and millions in the US, get them out
Absolutley ... LOVE THIS!!! Thank you!!!
Nobody wants strangers crossing your property, why not understand???
Because This isn’t anyones property… what don’t y’all understand?
@@hhniji6525It's American property. Not Illegals freeway.
@@hhniji6525Illegally! Let that sink in .
They are criminals
@hhniji6525 What happens if you invited the entire town into your house, so that no one, after a month, wants to live in your house. How about give it a try and get back to us when you begin to comprehend how law, order and boundaries maybe allow things to flourish. Or just go throw rocks and destroy green-houses and all other habitats how about? What exactly is your end vision with that? Do you even have one beyond destruction? Something to fvcking think about.
This is still so unbelievable but it is undeniably cool as heck. Tom Homan is dangerously cool and he doesn't even KNOW It. Love this!
Awesome comment!
This is going to be the best administration in my lifetime
PETE HEgseth and Tom Homan are the best we have ever had.
So you approve of men who sex traffick, do drugs and have sex with minors?????
So happy they're in!
@Tony tom homan might be but you're absolutely joking if you think anyone is going to even come close to general mattis anytime soon
@@cameronspence4977what did Gen Mattie do to secure the border?
Serious question. Does Fox “News” MAKE people stupid, or do stupid people just gravitate towards Fox?
I am a legal immigrant in this country. I patiently waited for nine years (in my country) to get my Green Card. I did not vote in 2020 nor in 2024, because I am not an American citizen. It is disgusting for me to see how millions of people cross the southern border illegally, and overnight they think they have right to stay in this country. That makes life way more difficult for us, the ones who came in legally and respect the law. When I entered the country for the first time, the US immigration officer said to me: "Get a job, pay your taxes, respect the law, and don't get yourself in trouble", and that's what I have been doing since day one. Illegal immigration must stop.
Thank you for entering the legal way!
So proud of you that’s what my parents did in the 50’s
Welcome!!!
Welcome to America I know it's a little late but you are an Anerican now! your what America is all about. Years ago many immigrants landed at Ellis Island N.Y. and most came in legally. They too made this country for what it is today. Many young men served in our armed forces and went to defend this country when called upon to do so.
🙏🙏Bless You🙏🙏💞
Trump's swift action on this is awesome. His choice in these two men for their positions could not have been better. I'm so thankful.
Finally, the issue is being solved. Im very happy with my vote.
Now I'm watching the news every night again!
It was a long crummy four years, WERE BACK BABY!
Making America safe again
Love this, I cant even Imagine Former secretary Lloyd Austin paying a visit to the border.
He was going but got lost!!!
He may have, but he forgot to tell anyone where he was going, and no one noticed he was gone.
or the previous Border Tzar! Unbelievable neglection of duty.
Lloyd Austin was too busy collecting checks from the defense lobbyists instead of doing his actual job.
@@JaimeTanner-b2i to be fair, it's obvious now that Lloyd knew very well that obiden wasn't sentient enough to bother telling.
thank you!
You're doing great Pete and Tom!!! Thanks for taking care & giving it to us straight!!

FINALLY REAL LEADERS. GO PETE & TOM
Please find the missing children. 😢
If I remember a recent report correctly, they had found I believe 300,000 children that were lost under the previous administration. There's still a lot of children that still need to be found, but the team under Trump's leadership is working hard at finding them with Tom Homan, Kristi Nome, and Pete Hegseth at the helm

Well said. Dems are out for decades, but watch for cheating.
apparently "destroying democracy" begets democracy.
@@TheJeffbarrettnot a democracy. Never have been. Don’t care what happens to Democrats now.
All they are doing is complaining, nothing is fast enough for them, half are still asleep. Why are gas and food prices not down yet. lol, If Trump wants to save money, he shouldn’t be going to play golf, security cost lots, they do not have a clue, with all Trump did in his first week, that one day to come up for air was a problem. Lots of cleanup necessary after the Biden mess. Biden spent more time vacationing in Delaware, than in the White House, but that was ok. Less damage he could do I suppose. Trump has a package he has put together, the house of cards will fall, and we will all get relief.
