Texas Sheriff: Fentanyl is POURING across our ‘OPEN BORDER’

America's ‘open’ southern border is emboldening drug cartels to flood America with fentanyl, Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn tells Glenn. He describes the SHOCKING amounts of it seized by officials in Dallas/Fort Worth and the even larger amounts seized at the border. But this crisis goes far beyond fentanyl. In fact, Sheriff Waybourn describes how President Biden’s border MESS continues to empower cartels in several other ways, too…

GLENN: So a guy running for the governor. The governor's office here in Texas, is Beto. Yeah. He's back. Beto O'Rourke. Here's what he says about the border, and title 42.

VOICE: But I want to turn our attention to title 42. You don't think it's a good idea for the Biden administration to end title 42. Why?

BETO: No. I think it's time to end Title 42. I don't think we should ever have implemented it. It's a very cynical reading of U.S. law.

GLENN: It's very cynical. This, by the way, the one thing that has kept the border -- I can't even say halfway sane. Not just being overrun all the time. Because this was a covid thing. We got to make sure, that we're not letting everybody in. That didn't matter. But we're now talked about the possibility of allowing 16,000 people in every day.

That's a pretty big number.

Sheriff Bill Waybourn is the Tarrant County sheriff. That's with Fort Worth. And we were talking -- we were at Chuck Norris' place doing a fundraiser just last week. Sheriff, welcome, how are you?

BILL: I'm great, sir. And, Glenn, it's so good to be with you.

GLENN: So I talk to you, Bill, at the fundraiser. And we were talking about -- I mean, I'm always fun at a party. And we were talking about fentanyl, and the problems with drugs. And you told me some stories that melted the skin off my face. About the amount of fentanyl that is coming off right now.

BILL: It is an incredible, copious amounts that had came in. And right here, in the Dallas Fort Worth area are great narcotics team, and interdiction teams. Enough right here to kill almost 800,000 people. And that would give them fatal doses. Our DPS, who has done an incredible job on the border, under Steve McGraw, has seized enough fentanyl down there to kill every man, woman, and child in the United States of America.

GLENN: Wait. Wait.

BILL: We're having enough --

GLENN: Enough fentanyl to kill everyone in this country?

BILL: Yes, sir.

And pounds and pounds and pounds of that dope. And it's cheap dope. Because it's a synthetic heroin, that's markedly more addictive. And markedly more dangerous.

GLENN: And that's just what we've caught.

BILL: Exactly.

GLENN: What do you suppose is coming through and getting through.

BILL: Well, I think a conservative estimate is, is that we're probably getting about one-third at the conservative estimate.

GLENN: Oh, my.

BILL: And that means that probably two-thirds have gotten the cross, and have gotten away from us.

GLENN: So is there any doubt in your mind, what's causing all of these overdose deaths?

BILL: Not at all. And we're losing -- at my last briefing was about 300 people a day. A jumbo jet a day of people going down, and dying of fentanyl. And often time, first time users.

GLENN: So where is the bulk of this going? Does it stay here? Is it evenly distributed? Do you have any idea?

BILL: We believe that the cartel, who are incredible businessmen, are using the routes of all other folks that are using the major highways. And the hubs are going to be the major cities; i.e. Houston and Dallas and Fort Worth. And then it's splitting out and going across the country. So what is affecting us here is Maine and Middlesex Massachusetts or New York or LA. But it may have very well come through Dallas, Fort Worth, to get their --

GLENN: Which does what to our community? I mean, I found out a couple of years ago, that in my general neighborhood, there either was or still is, a guy from the cartel. That owns a house. Right in my neighborhood.

And when I found that out from some neighbors. I was like, wait a minute. What?

BILL: Well, we know that the cartels here. Because we have some of them in the Tarrant County jail, and we believe that there are decision makers here. And I would like to add that this fentanyl is indiscriminate. It's going into the gated communities, as well as into the at-risk areas. At-risk neighborhoods. It is indiscriminate.

GLENN: Do you remember the crack problem of the '80s?

BILL: I very well do.

GLENN: Yeah. Can you compare that problem, which was the number one story every night for years, can you compare those two?

BILL: Absolutely. Is that fentanyl, is going to be crack, absolutely on triple steroids.

Because there's no room for error. We believe that four out of ten pills, could be fatal.

GLENN: Jeez.

So you're rolling -- you're almost at 50/50. Rolling the dice. That you will survive?

BILL: That is correct.

GLENN: And are any of these coming from -- you know, are they being stolen from major pharmaceuticals? Or is this all stuff that's just being made across our border?

BILL: It is all being made, the cartel has said up in their own pill press. They're imitating Oxycontin. They're imitating ADD drugs like Adderall. And pain pills. In fact, there's one sheriff that's a friend that shared a story last time I visited. They were working a fentanyl death, where a young college kid just wanted to stay up and study for exams. Not a drug user at all, and a friend offered him Adderall. He took it, ten minutes later, he was dead.

GLENN: And I read a story yesterday. I think it was in the New York Times. And they were talking about the drug overdoses.

That are happening. And they blamed it on China. That China was shipping a lot of this, I don't know. In what ghost containers.

Maybe along with the ghost guns. You know, they're -- they're shipping them in these containers. And we're getting the major portion of our fentanyl drug problem, from China.

Do you believe that?

BILL: Well, I believe that there is some coming from China to -- directly to the United States. No question about that. But the majority of what we're seeing in Texas, has come from China. Through even Venezuela. And Mexico. Up through the cartel routes. Because it's an open border. It's an easy path.

GLENN: So it might actually be coming -- it might be produced in China. But it's coming through the cartels on an open border?

BILL: That's correct. Ghana to Venezuela to Mexico. And it's weaponization. I believe that the cartel knows very well, that this will kill people. And they're not worried about that. They're very accepting of the casualties.

GLENN: How much have we emboldened these crime syndicates down at the border. They have to be making money hand over fist, not only in drugs. But also human trafficking. And then getting people across the border, that isn't the stereotypical, you know, human trafficking. It's just, I'll provide a boat to go over the river.

BILL: Well, I think they're incredibly emboldened. And I think they've opened borders. And they're on both sides of that river. They own -- across the border. They certainly have pockets. And they know what they're doing. And they know what their odds are. And it's a lot better than Vegas. And they're rolling the dice every day.

GLENN: And the consequences of opening this up, even more? By, you know, getting rid of title 42?

BILL: I think it's -- that's the last arrow in our quiver.

And I think that will embolden them. And we will see herds of them coming across. And we will see more human trafficking. And absolutely overwhelming our border counties.

And I think soon, we will see them showing up everywhere.

GLENN: I have a -- a family member, that lives in a border town.

And, you know. At Easter, she said, the town is just being destroyed. She says, you know, a very small number of people that live there. And very soon, we are going to be outnumbered. By people that -- that don't speak our language. They -- they have nothing to do with America, or our town. And they're going to be the ones, that are in the -- the majority, and we're paying for everything.

BILL: That is absolutely right. And also people think, well, is this the Mexicans? It is not. It is partially Mexican. But these come from 150 countries. And you're absolutely right.

My border law enforcement friends tell me that pursuits are up in the last year, by 400 percent.

GLENN: What does that mean?

BILL: That means that law enforcement chases hot pursuits, as you can dramatically think about, as cars going code three and trying to catch the bad guy, had gone up 400 percent, along the border.

And so they're chasing people every day. In every direction. And they believe that they're only, at best, getting a fourth to maybe a third.

GLENN: The White House said yesterday, that, you know, the 23 terrorists. The people that were on the terror watch list, that were caught. That that's the most, that has been caught.

I mean, that has been -- that's crossed the border. At most, it was 23.

There's no logic to that. Can you -- do you know anything about these 23? How serious these guys were?

BILL: I do not know. I'm looking forward to learning about them. And hopefully, we'll have that information sooner than later. I think you said this earlier. We're watching 23. And we're catching a third. How much does that mean, that really got across.

GLENN: One last question. Ghost guns. How much of a problem are ghost guns?

BILL: Well, I can only relate to our experience, at Tarrant County sheriff's office. And there's not one that's come across my desk on ghost guns. Or any issue against ghost guns.

GLENN: All right. So I'm glad we got that taken care of. Jeez.

All right. Sheriff, thank you very much. I live in your county. I live in Tarrant County. And I am so glad. I voted for you. And I'm so grad that you're the sheriff. Because you are -- you are no nonsense. Thank you so much.

BILL: Thank you, sir. It's an honor to have you as a constituent.

GLENN: You got it. Sheriff way born. If you don't know your sheriff, get to know your sheriff. You know, one of the things I said to them. What happens if they decide, that citizens can't have guns?

His response: I'll just deputize everybody in the county. Okay. You got my vote.

The Most SHOCKING Moments of Glenn's White House Visit with Trump

Glenn shares behind-the-scenes stories from his incredible trip to Washington, DC, and the White House. When Glenn sat down for an exclusive interview with President Trump, he didn’t think Trump would also give him a personal tour of the White House, including the Oval Office, his latest troll of Hillary Clinton, and even his personal residence and the Lincoln Bedroom. Glenn describes the historic treasures Trump showed him, like a copy of the Gettysburg Address. But Glenn can’t tell his favorite parts of the day because of an NDA. But he gives a hint: Trump is NOT at all who the media portrays him as.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

STU: Welcome back, Glenn. Back from DC.

GLENN: Thank you. Interesting week.

STU: I bet it was.

GLENN: Interesting week.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Learned an awful lot. I've got to go up at least a quarter. Every quarter. There is so much going on. It is moving so fast. And you get a -- you get a completely different perspective when you're actually there talking to the people that are moving the pieces. And I had a lot of conversations that I can't divulge on the air.

I can't say, unfortunately -- I was with the president yesterday.

And it was an incredible, absolutely incredible -- and the thing I was most excited to share was his heart. He -- it was amazing.

Did the interview. Went into the Oval Office. And he left me alone with my wife in the Oval Office for like five minutes. Now, I'm like.

He was lucky, I didn't go through the drawers.

You know, I look -- where is that little hidden puzzle piece, that I saw on national archive.

But, I mean, he left us alone for five minutes. Nobody is left alone in the Oval for five minutes.

And he walks in five minutes later. Tania was so uncomfortable. Like, I don't know what to say.

What do I do?

And I'm like, they said, make yourself comfortable.

So have a seat, wherever you want. You know, probably not behind the desk. But have a seat. So we just go around. And I was alone with the Declaration of Independence. I mean, it was incredible in the Oval Office!

STU: Any part of you think, maybe I just kind of put -- fold it up. Put it in my pocket. Nobody notices. None of that?

GLENN: No. Uh-uh.

STU: Darn it.

GLENN: This is the first time I've been in the Oval Office. The first time you're overwhelmed. The first time you're like -- because it's a magical place. It really is a magical place.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: And so he said, he walks in. And he's like, you know, nobody -- I'm like.

STU: He said, what?

GLENN: Nobody sits in here without the president. Or, you know, without somebody else.

STU: Right. Yeah, that's really rare.

GLENN: And I said, I'm aware of that. He said, but I knew you would want to look at everything. So I thought you would be more comfortable if you were here by yourself. Oh, it was fantastic.

So we sit down. We talk. We go do the interview. And while we were talking in the Oval, we were conversing about a few things. And he said, and Abraham Lincoln came up. We were talking -- he is well-versed on the presidents. He is becoming a historian. He really is! He's really done his homework.

And he said, are you a fan of Abraham Lincoln? I said, yeah. And he said, you ever been to the Lincoln bedroom? I said, no. Want to go?

I'm like, wait. Of course I do. Yes. Let's do this interview.

So we do the interview. And he -- I'm told, he only has 40 minutes. Now we've just eaten ten.

And so we go. We do the interview. And his aides are cutting us off. And I'm like, I've got at least ten more minutes of questions.

And so we're getting cut off. And as we stop. His aide says, sir, the National Security Council is waiting for you.

And he says, right. I'm going to take them to the Lincoln bedroom first.

And they're like, the security counsel is meeting right now. They're waiting for you.

He said, let them wait. I'm going to take -- so he takes us, the longest way possible. He takes us through the entire White House, room by room.

Shows us all of the meanings behind things. All of the amazing, amazing -- like nobody knows about the White House. Takes us to the -- takes us to the basement, which is not really the basement. You know, it's the actual first floor where all of the guests come in. And they come up the grand staircase and everything else.

But it's the basement. And he's walking through. And he's showing me a troll, first of all.

I have to show you these paintings. I just see this painting of Laura Bush. And Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton. Up on a wall. He said, I walk by them every day.

And I say, this is not right. And he said, and then I got this painting of me. And, you know, it's me, with the flag face. Looking kind of tough.

And he said, I thought I put them between the two. And it had just gone viral. Just released a picture of him. And just gone viral.

It was a troll. The guy is just trolling. And he said, yeah. Don't you love it?

I just think it works. This trio really works. And I said, can I get a snap of them?

So we did this picture, the two of us, you know, on the ground floor of the White House. The tour goes by this every day.

Okay?

And all of a sudden, this thing goes viral. And they start -- memes start to be made, with J.D. Vance. In the pictures, they change -- people just started changing all the pictures behind us.

This is a meme before -- you know, going off before we finished.

And then he takes us upstairs. Takes us through all these things.

And the -- the aides keep gathering. There's like 20 of them now, following us. And I keep hearing, sir, the national security is waiting. He's like, I know. I know.

And so we got up to the executive residence. And the reason why he had to give us -- the reason why he had to do this tour, is because you're not allowed in the residence. And you're not allowed into the Lincoln bedroom, without the president of the United States.

It's the only one that can do it.

Melania cannot come down and do the tour.

It has to be the president. He's telling them. I'm sorry. But rules are rules. And so he takes us up, into the Lincoln bedroom.

It was the most incredible thing I have -- I mean, it's like -- it's a time capsule. It's really his bed. Which is about 6 inches longer than like the big king-size bed. It might have been longer than a California queen. It was very narrow.

Like, obviously, you know, he's not like Hugh Hefner. It's a very narrow bed.

But very, very long.

The mirror on one hand was extended to, you know, for somebody who is like six-nine, I think. Barron could use that mirror.

And then on the other side of the room is a writing desk.

And on this one table, all these things about his son. Lincoln's son who had died. And this really eerie picture of Lincoln. This painting.

And the president said, that was his favorite painting of himself. And it's really. It was spooky almost.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: And I couldn't take a picture. You're not allowed to take any photos in the Lincoln bedroom.

And I was so bummed because I couldn't wait to show them we. But they're in his writing desk. And on it, is the Gettysburg address. One of four of the Gettysburg addresses. He gave -- Lincoln was at Gettysburg. And said, Mr. President. That was a great speech.

Do you have a copy of it? And he said, sure. And hands him a speech.

And says, here. This is a New York reporter. Takes it. Types it up, and then throws it away.

So during the war, Lincoln writes four copies of the Gettysburg address.

In the four copies, only two of them say, this nation under God. Two of them don't say that. And we don't know why.

But the one there says, this nation under God. So it was just almost like a spiritual thing. We come down, and we're ending the tour.

And I said, I have to ask. I said, I know you're Donald J. Trump. But -- now, what do you think I'm going to ask. Because he cuts me off right there, and he tries to answer. And I was amazed that he knew what I was even going to ask. Where do you think I'm at? I know you're Donald J. Trump, but --

STU: I mean, it could be anything obviously.

GLENN: He said every day, and that's the right answer! But I didn't still know if he knew what I was talking. And I say, every day?

And he said every day, Glenn. I wake up every day, and I -- I say to myself, I can't believe I'm in this house.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: I mean, he's still humble about it. He's still -- he respects that place. I mean, a lot of the -- well, he didn't tell me this. So I don't think I signed anything about it.

He didn't tell me this.

So the -- the word is, that Hillary stole a lot of the glass door knobs at the White House. Okay. That's the word.

Don't if it's true.

But stole them. He came in, and he redid all of the doorknobs, and they are beautiful. This guy has put serious money into the White House.

And he's never going to get any credit. And the rumor was, on those doorknobs, that they were going to take them out. I don't know if they did on Biden. But they don't want any of the Trump stuff in there. And took out the doorknobs.

But he's -- he's poured a ton of money upgrading that house, and he'll never get credit for it.

But he deserves it. All right. I'm going to talk to you a little bit about what we talked about on the important stuff here in just a second.

STU: So you were able to go through all of this, and look at all these incredible documents.

This is kind of like your fantasy league life, right?

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

STU: Every document you could ever want. Every piece of history you could ever look at.

You would spend no time actually being president, if you were president.


GLENN: I don't know when this guy has time. I really don't.

Some of the Secret Service guys said, he's here, in the middle of the night, working on stuff.

He'll do full day.

Then he's there. Who is up at this hour?

It's him.

STU: That's not the way the media presents him.

They say, he's watching TV.

Watching Fox news all day.

GLENN: Oh, there's no way.

This guy has learned so much.

There's no way I had a conversation with him, five, six years ago. No way.

STU: You notice a difference?

GLENN: Oh, huge. His learning curve is straight-up.

Absolutely straight-up.

And in the interview. There's nothing. I could have said things.

Remember the nuclear triad question that he was hit with?

Where he didn't really -- there's not a question I could ask him, where he doesn't know the answer.

Literally. Literally.

I mean, everything I ask him off-air or on-air, he's there. He knows it. If it's happening in the world, he knows it. I don't know how he keeps up like this.

STU: It is -- I mean, his energy level is impressive. There's no doubt about that.

I don't know. The bar was set pretty low the last four years. But his -- that's been one of the things, I don't think there's ever been really much at -- disagreement on.

The fact that we -- we did, years ago, went around with candidates, around Iowa, for example. Just in campaigning, and it was like, oh, gosh. By the end of the weekend, I wanted to sleep for a week.
Because it was just so much.

Running around. Doing -- can't imagine being president of the United States. He's always energized.

GLENN: He's always energized. I mean, and I saw him. When I got on to the plane last night. Because I know, he went from -- he went from my interview, directly to the National Security Council.

And then by the time I'm sitting at the airport, there's a video of him meeting with the people that were in the lobby, waiting for him all of these veterans.

And he's doing stuff with veterans on TV.

I mean, the guy is just boom, boom, boom.

Remember Joe Biden was like, he'll have -- he'll have some pudding.

STU: Oh, yeah. The pudding and the lid.

GLENN: And the lid. And that's it.

This guy is going non-stop.

STU: Obviously, we're just setting up the main course here.

Which is your interview with him.

That airs on Blaze TV tonight.

GLENN: It was on last night.

STU: I watched it on Blaze TV last night. It airs on YouTube tonight.

But, you know, you guys went into -- every -- every topic. Any questions he didn't -- you know, he didn't think he wanted to go to or wasn't comfortable with. Is there anything that he was off-limits? Anything like that?

No. He was joking with me. He was going across the hallway. He said, after the interview, he said no. Try to be kind to me.

Well, if you don't, I'll just say, he's over. He's worthless. He'll do whatever you want.
(laughter)

But, no. There was nothing. In fact, we didn't -- you know, we wouldn't. And we didn't give him any indication. Other than it was about the 100 days. And everything that's gone down the last 100 days and were coming.

So that's pretty broad. He said a few things.

And I want to give I one of them here. We were talking about the tariffs.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And I said, you know, how do you negotiate, when you have a group of elites like the WEF. When you have China who is against you.

And the world trade -- or, the World Economic Forum.

All the elites in England.

That are -- they're fine with the great, Great Reset. How do you negotiate with people who don't mind blowing the whole thing up?

Listen to this.

DONALD: I don't have to negotiate. I don't have to negotiate. I'm talking to people out of respect. But I don't have to. So we're this giant store that people want to come in and buy bye from. We're the United States. We have the richest consumer, et cetera, et cetera. Right?

But we're not going to be that way for long if we do something. But we're this giant store, and they all want to come in and take our product. But to take our product, they are going to have to pay.

And we will either make a deal with them, or we will just set a price. Because some countries are worse than others. Some countries have ripped us off really badly, and some countries have just ripped us off a little bit, but almost all of them have ripped us off. Because we've had really poor leadership. And what's going to happen, is we're going to negotiate -- we are negotiating with 70 different countries. But we're negotiating. We're showing great respect. But in the end, we may make deals. But either that, or I just set a price. I said, here's what you will pay for the privilege of servicing the United States of America.

And they have an option. They can maybe talk to me a little bit. Or they can not jump.

You know, they don't have to shop at this big store. Or they can shop.

But in any event, they will have to pay. Look, we owe 36 trillion for a reason.

The reason is: The trade. Also, the endless wars, the stupid wars that we fought. We're going to the Middle East. We blow up. We leave. We don't get anything.

And you're a big fan of exactly what I'm saying. I mean, let's not do this. Let's not do that.

It's stupid. Endless wars. Endless wars. That they don't even want us. You know, we got into wars. They didn't even want us.

So all of that stuff. You know, when I left four years ago, you know, we had no wars. We had no Israel and Hamas. And, by the way, it would have never happened. Because their enemies were broke.

They were broke.

I have sanctions so strong on Iran.

They were totally broke. They had no money for Hamas and Hezbollah. We didn't have Russia-Ukraine. That would have never happened by the way. We didn't have the Afghanistan embarrassment. One of the great embarrassments in the history of our country.

We didn't have any inflation. Don't forget, I charged China hundreds of billions worth of tariffs. They talk about inflation. We had no inflation.

Because that doesn't cause inflation.

Stupidity causes inflation. High energy causes inflation. When they took over my energy -- we were making it like nobody has ever seen.

GLENN: I know.

DONALD: And then the prices doubled. By the way, because of that, Putin went in. You see what's going on now. It's going down.

GLENN: Yeah, I do.

DONALD: It makes it much harder for Putin to prosecute the war.

GLENN: It was fascinating.

We talked about a few things.

Judicial insurrection. Was one of them!

Another pretty strong response on that one, as well.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Tells the INCREDIBLE Story of Elon Musk, Nikola Tesla, and His Uncle

Immediately after his First 100 Days interview with President Trump, Glenn knew he had to ask one more question, even if it was off the record: How incredible is it that Trump is working with today’s Nikola Tesla, Elon Musk, when Trump's uncle was the man put in charge of sifting through Tesla’s files when he died?! But instead of having a private conversation, Trump decided to let Glenn’s audience hear the story too …

Why President Trump Is NOT "Negotiating" with Global Elites | First 100 Days | Glenn TV | Ep 429

In just his first 100 days in office, President Trump has moved faster to fix America than anyone expected. He created the DOGE, shut the border down, dismantled USAID and its wasteful spending, and put the world on notice that it can’t take advantage of America any more. But there’s still much more to do, and Americans have questions about what’s next. Glenn sits down with the president in the Roosevelt Room of the White House for his first one-on-one interview about his first 100 days. Glenn asks Trump what the real goal of his tariffs is, whether Elon Musk is really stepping back from the DOGE, whether Mexico is a failed narco-state, what his plans are for the cartels, and how he may react to the “judicial insurrection” of judges blocking his deportation orders. Trump also reveals his game-changing plans for AI and American energy, why he’s not “negotiating” with Europe or the world, whether Putin or Zelenskyy has been easier to deal with, and why he believes Glenn will “be surprised” by congressional Republicans soon.
