Eli Crane (R-AZ) yesterday morning to Maria Bartiromo on Mornings with Maria.\n\n\u201cWhen I\u2019m sitting in these committee hearings, I can\u2019t even get colleagues on the other side to admit that a wall or a barrier is an important part of a security system. They\u2019ll sit there and say \u2018oh yeah, well, people can go over the wall or people can tunnel under the wall.\u2019 And that\u2019s true, Maria, but the fact of the matter is that real security has always been and will always be overlapping deterrence.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s not just a wall by itself\u2013it\u2019s a wall, it\u2019s agents that are well trained, it\u2019s intelligence and so many other things that work in coordination to keep Americans safe. And you can tell this Administration wants nothing to do with keeping Americans safe by their actions and their policy changes.\u201d\n\nWATCH HERE\n\nOn support for Israel in light of the atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists following a breach of the Gaza-Israel border:\n\n\u201c[W]e need to support Israel, we have supported them in the past, we\u2019re doing it right now, and we\u2019ll continue to support them in the future.\n\n\u201cAs a Christian, I\u2019m well aware of the Book of Genesis where God says \u2018I will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.\u2019 I think we can continue to support Israel, but here\u2019s the thing Maria\u2013we can do that and make the safety of our own citizens first and primary and that\u2019s something we hardly ever do.\n\nTo me, this is one more time where many members of Congress and our leaders look to something else\u2013an atrocity going on in the world and they completely drop the ball and forget about what\u2019s going on here.\n\nThey forget about our wide open border, the 240 individuals since Biden took office that have been on the terror watchlist that have been encountered at the southern border, and the 1.5 million got-aways\u2013we don\u2019t know who they are, we don\u2019t know where they\u2019re going, we don\u2019t know what they\u2019re up to. And if you don\u2019t think there\u2019s any lone wolves in there or terrorist cells that have come in through that wide open border, you\u2019re a fool.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://crane.house.gov/2023/10/19/media-press-releases-watch-crane-bartiromo-biden-admin-wants-nothing-do-keeping-americans-safe/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1416650377213955, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
