• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Center. Nice to be with you in person.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: We were going to have a show that dealt a
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: lot with the border, our lead story, and then unfortunately
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: we got this new news coming out of Jordan. What
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: we have now at time of recording is three US
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: troops have been killed and twenty five injured in this
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: drone strike by Iran back militias in Jordan. I want
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: to get your reaction this because this is not a
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: new tactic. Depending on what count you look at, this
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: is somewhere between one hundred and fifty to one hundred
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: and seventy plus attacks on US troops in the Middle
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: East being done by these proxy groups of Iran. What
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: is America's response to this, What is the Biden administration doing,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: and what are we hearing from them?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Well, it is tragic.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: On Sunday, three US servicemen and women were murdered, twenty
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: five were injured in Jordan. It was a drone attack,
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: funded directed by Iran, and this is a continuation of
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: a pattern we've seen for three years. Listen, Number one,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: our prayers are with the families of those servicemen and
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: women killed. At this point we don't have the details.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Are our prayers are with all of the troops who
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: were injured that they recover, But we should also understand
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: why this happened. Joe Biden's weakness produced this attack. At
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: this point, Joe Biden's national security failures, his weakness, his appeasement,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: is endangering US lives and is causing casualties. We've talked
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: a lot in this podcast about the thirteen servicemen and
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: women murdered in Afghanistan, again because of Joe Biden's weakness,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: and understand, as you noted, there have been over one
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: hundred and seventy attacks by Iranian proxies on US troops.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Iran is waging war on the Administration on America, on
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: our servicemen and women, and Joe Biden is so utterly
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: weak he doesn't do a damn thing about It reminds
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: me back when Bill Clinton was in office the phrase
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: he fires a missile and hits a camelon butt. That
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: basically is Joe Biden's approach, and our servicemen and women
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: will continue to be in harm's way as long as
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: this man is commander in chief, because not only is
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: he two weak to respond with force, but even worse
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: than that, Biden funded this understand, Joe Biden is responsible
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: for flowing roughly one hundred billion dollars to the Iranian regime,
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: to the Ayatula, to the Mallahs, that is funding these attacks.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: The October seventh attack on Israel, murdered over twelve hundred
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Israelis was among the worst terror attacks in the history
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: of the United States, with the Americans who were murdered.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden in a very real sense funded that as well.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: And ironically, look, the left thinks that weakness savoids war.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: The left thinks that appeasement is the way to go.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Weakness makes war more likely. Bullies do not respect weakness.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: And you contrast this when Donald Trump was president, he
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: killed Cassam Solimani, the leader of the Iranian military responsible
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: for the murder of hundreds of servicemen and women. He
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: ordered a strike, he took him out, and you saw
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Iran behave differently.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And let's remind people.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: When he did that, the media said that he was
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: taking us to War III, to the brink of w
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: War three, that it was irresponsible and it was the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: wrong decision. Yet clearly there was a response, as you said,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: from Iran, and the response was a response we should
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: begging for right now.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Well, that's right.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: They dramatically scaled down their attacks. And remember Trump combined
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: that with pulling out of the Obama Iran nuclear deal. Yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: that was the right decision to make. It was a
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: decision that I urged Trump emphatically and repeatedly to do.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Both the State Department and Defense Department under Trump argued
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: to stay in the nuclear deal. They were both wrong,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: and Trump agreed with me, overruled his own Secretary of State,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: his own Secretary Defense pulled out of that deal. But
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: not just that, he combined it with vigorously enforcing oil sanctions.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: So once we pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: there was still in place what were called oil waivers.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: So we had a waiver that allowed Iran to sell.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: At the time, they were selling roughly a million barrels
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: a day of oil. And I urged the President, once
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: we pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, Okay, let's
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: end the oil waivers. Let's cut off their money. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: there was a fight this time between the State Department
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: and the Department of Energy. The Secretary of State at
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: the time was Mike Pompeo, and State argued, if you
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: end the oil waivers. The result will be the price
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: of oil will skyrocket, the price of gasoline will skyrocket.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: You can't do that, the Department of Energy, to its credit.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: You would think Energy would know something about energy. They responded,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: that's nonsense. There's plenty of global supply of oil.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Cut it off.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: I leaned in aggressively on the side of the Department
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: of Energy, said, starve the beast, take away the resources
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: that Iran is using to murder Americans and murder our allies.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Trump agreed with me again, overruled his own State department
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: ended the oil waiver, and it turns out we now
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: know Energy was right, State was wrong. It crushed the
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Iranian economy and the price of oil barely moved at all,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: the price of gasoline barely moved it all, and essentially
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: no impact because of global supply. But it cratered the
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Iranian economy. Joe Biden inherited the Iranian economy on its knees.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: We had cut their oil exports to three hundred thousand
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: barrels a day or less, so it was a massive decrease.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: And Joe Biden came in. He flowed ten billion dollars
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: to Iran. He flowed six billion dollars to Iran, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: he stopped enforcing the oil sanctions that ended up flowing
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: eighty billion dollars to Iran. Today, Iran is selling two
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: million barrels a day of oil. These rockets, these drone
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: attacks that just killed three servicemen and women, Joe Biden,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: in a very real sense funded them. Because when you
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: send one hundred billion dollars to a theocratic lunatic who
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: screams death to America and death to Israel, you know
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: what happens? They actually follow through on that, And so
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: this appeasement is dangerous. And you contrast a strong commander
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: in chief killing General Solimani saying if you go after Americans,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: you're gonna die, and what happens the bad guy's back off.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: You contrast that to the weakness in the Biden White
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: House that says, if you threaten Americans, if you threaten Israel,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: we're gonna give you hundreds of billions of dollars, and
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: they get worse. One one hundred and seventy attacks and
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: more will happen unless Biden is willing to defend US troops.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I have very little faith that he w.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Two questions on this I want to ask you I
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: think are important.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Number One, there's a lot of people that remember the
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: money we were allowing Iran.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: To get their hands on.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: The State Department said in the White House said, oh, well,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: they don't have the money, yet they have to act
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the right way to get the money. Is there any
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: indication that that has changed at all and the policy
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: has changed it because of all these attacks? And number two,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think people understand exactly when we talk about
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: these proxy groups, these terrorist organizations, that they funnel money
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to funnel drones, to funnel bombs, to roadside bombs, whatever
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: it may be. Explain why Iran does that and how
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and how many people they're working within the Middle East.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: So Iran is the world's largest state sponsored supporter of
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: terrorism in the world. Hamas and Hesbal Hamas launched the
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: October seventh attack. What percent of Hamas's budget do you
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: think Iran funds.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I would guess seventy eighty percent.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: It's about ninety wow, about ninety percent of the budget
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: comes directly from Aroun. We have reporting in the Wall
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Street Journal that says about five hundred to the Hamas
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: terrorists who carried out out the October seventh attack, traveled
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: to Iran and trained in Iran to be ready for
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: that attack. Hesbola, how much of hesbaa do you think Iran?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I would bet at least about ninety.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Percent as well.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Iran funds terrorists in the Middle East, They flunt fund
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: terrorists in South America and Central America. They are hesbel
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: as terrorists in Central and South America that Iran is funding.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: The Iatola. You have to understand. He's a theocratic, genocidal maniac.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: He refers to Israel as the Little Satan. He refers
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: to America as the Great Satan. Understand if the Iotola could,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: he would murder both of us in an instance, if
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: the Iatola could, he would murder every American in New
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: York City. He would murder every American in Los Angeles,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: every America in Washington, DC. You know the former head
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: of the Iranian nuclear program, a scientist who former head.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: By the way, I want to make sure we say
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: that again. Somebody pays attention to what you're about to tell,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: because I know where you're going with.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: It, and former is important. He is gone to meet
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: his maker to see if they're seventy two virgins waiting
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: for him or not. Many say at the hand of
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: the Macade, at the hand of the Israelis. That's not confirmed,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: but that is widely speculated that the Israelis helped him
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: on his way. He had written in his last will
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: and testament that he wanted the following words written on
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: his tombstone. Here lies a man who sought the annihilation
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: of Israel. I think for a second, Ben, how much hate,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: how much racism, how much anti Semitism, how much venom
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: do you have to be filled with that you literally
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: want your tombstone. The only thing that you want to
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: be remembered for is I hate Jews. That was the
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: head of Iran's nuclear program. That is the theocratic governance
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: of this Iranian regime. And explain to me why Joe
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Biden keeps sending them billions of dollars to this day.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: We're sitting here today, we have Iran murdering three US
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: servicemen and women, and Joe Biden continues to allow him
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: to sell two million barrels of oil a day. Tomorrow,
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: presumably Joe Biden's going to allow him to sell two
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: million barrels of oil a day because weakness is so
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: intertwined with the Biden foreign policy.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Not just weakness.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: They have this bizarre policy. I do not understand it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Enemies of America they give money to and they give
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: them everything they want. Friends of America they abandoned, they undermined.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: By the way, simultaneously, the news is breaking this weekend
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: that the Biden administration is talking about cutting off military
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: weapons to Israel, so billions of dollars to Iran to
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: murder Americans. While simultaneously the Biden White House is saying,
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: let's cut off weapons to Israel because they're killing terrorists
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: who have murdered Americans and want to murder Americans. It
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: is exactly backwards.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: It makes no sense.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Last question on this, there's a lot of people ask, Okay, well,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: then what would the response or what should a response
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: be from the President of United States of America. So
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of talking heads over the weekend that we're saying, well,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: they're just trying to bring us into a war, and
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: if if Joe Biden responds with a heavy hand and
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: goes after and attacks targets in Iran, we're getting into
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: World War III. And that's exactly what they want. What
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: is a responsible response to this from this president.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: What is it that he should do?
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Number one, cut off the money, dramatically, enforce the oil sanctions,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: starve the beast. I've introduced legislation that would do that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: There's an entire fleet of ghost tankers that takes the
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Iranian oil to China. By the way, China's buying it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Communist China is loving this. China is funding Iran. They
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: love that Iran is distracting America from China's malevolence. So
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: cut off the oil number one. Number two, cut off
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: the funds. Number three cut off the funding for Hamas,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: cut off the funding for Gazak, cut off the funding
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: for Iranian proxies.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Number four cut off the funding for unrun.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Our next show, we're going to talk about UNRUD, the
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: UN agency that is filled with Hamas terrorists that news
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: broke this weekend. Also we're going to go in depth
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: in a later podcast this week about that. But stop
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: funding people who hate us. Number one and number two.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: If you kill US military or US civilians, pound the
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: living crap out of them, respond like Donald Trump did. Now,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: not invade Iran. I'm not saying send the Marines. I'm
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: saying you didn't know it's not worth it. Let them
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: know that the cost will be significantly greater than the benefit.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: What Joe Biden has showed them is there is no cost,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: that his ideology in politics is so important he will
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: allow Americans to be killed and will not respond that
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: weakness makes it more likely more Americans will be killed.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I want to tell you about our good friends over
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: at Patriot Mobile. For more than a decade now, Patriot
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Mobile has been the only Christian conservative cell phone provider
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: in the nation. And I love looking at my cell
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: phone now because every time I look down the top left,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: it says Patriot And I know that when I'm using
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: my phone and when I pay my bill, I am
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: working with a company that stands with my values. Now,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, everybody has different New Year's resolutions.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Mine was to stop giving my money to countries that
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: literally hate my family values, hate what I stand for,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: and that is Big Mobile. You may not realize that
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Big Mobile gets big donations to Democrat causes candidates, including
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Planned Parent. That is why I switched to Patriot Mobile,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and it's why I want you to try them as well. Now,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of people say, hey, I don't want to
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: switch to a comany I don't know about their coverage.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Well, guess what.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: The coverage is exactly the same coverage you have right now.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: You use the same exact towers that you're using right now,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: except you get rid of the woke agenda of the left.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: So take a look at Patriot Mobile.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Many times you'll save money over what you're spending right now,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: and every month when you pay your bill, you know
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: you're supporting your First and Second Amendment rights and most importantly,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the rights of unborn children as well as our military
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: veterans are police officers. And that's just the beginning of
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: what Patriot Mobile does for you.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: You can keep your.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Same cell phone as well and upgrade to a new

• 14:56
  Speaker 2: That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict nine to seven
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: to two Patriot Centata. I want to move to what
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be our big story and that was
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the border. There is a clear war between Texas and
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration. That war was declared by the Biden administration.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: To be very clear on Texas. There's a war now
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the issue of state's rights. There's a war of what
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the Constitution says, and there's a ton of misinformation out there.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I want you to explain so people understand, does the
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: state of Texas, in any state have the right to
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: protect and defend itself if it's being literally invaded that's
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: what's happening in Texas. What does the Constitution say about this?
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of people that have been arguing
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: over it. I want to know, does the state of
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Texas have the right to defend itself if the federal
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: government especially is not doing their job, and their job
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: is to protect the border, right not just the border
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: for Texas but every state in the country, and they're
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: not doing that right now.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: So when you look at this war, who's that's right
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and who's wrong? And what is this? What do our
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: founders think about this?
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Well, the text of the Constitution and in particularly the
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: constitutional provision that is being discussed as Article one, Section ten,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: clause three, and what it says is quote, no state shall,
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage,
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: keep troops or ships of war in time of peace,
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: enter into any agreement or compact with another state or
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: with a foreign power.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: And this is where the critical language is.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Or engage in war unless actually invaded or in such
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: imminent danger as will not admit of delay. So the
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: question the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, my good friend,
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: has declared an actual invasion, invoke the authority of Article one,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: section ten. Article one, section ten is a prohibition on
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: the state. It says, let me omit the kind of
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: language of the middle. It says, no states shall engage
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: in war unless actually invaded or in such imminent danger
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: as will not admit of delay. So under that constitutional provision,
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: it suggests the state would have the authority to quote
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: engage in war if actually invaded. Now you asked, what's
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: the law. The truth of the matter is this is
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: an open question constitutionally. We saw a number years back
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: when the state of Arizona passed legislation trying to limit
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: illegal immigration, and during the Obama administration, the Department of
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Justice sued Arizona. It went all the way to the
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court. There was a case Arizona versus United States,
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: and unfortunately, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Obama administration. It was a decision that got strong descents.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Got a strong descent from Justice Scalia, a strong descent
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: from Justice Thomas, a strong descent from Justice Alito. Now,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: the Supreme Court composition has changed since then, and frankly,
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: the facts on the ground have changed since then. Listen,
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: illegal immigration was a problem under Barack Obama, was a
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: serious problem under Barack Obama. But I got to say,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: compared to now, it's not and day the Obama immigration
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: problems seem quaint that they are minuscule compared to what
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: is happening now the order of magnitude. I've joked multiple
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: times that that that Joe Biden has done something I
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: thought was impossible. He's made me miss Barack Obama.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because who would have thought Ted Cruz would ever
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: say that.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: It is look on immigration. One of the astonishing things
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: about Obama is he, by and large fall the law.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: He didn't on DACA. But DACA was one unique subset
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: of individuals, and it was a relatively limited subset. But
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: for people crossing illegally into the country. Barack Obama deported
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: millions of people. If you remember, during the Obama administration,
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: the left got very mad. They called him the deporter
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: in chief, and that made a difference. What has happened
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: here under Joe Biden. And we've never seen a president
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: do this, And over two hundred years of our nation's history,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: there's never been a president that utterly and completely defies
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: US law and lets people go by massive numbers. So,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: for example, there's an authority under under federal immigration law
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: called parole authority, which is you can release people in
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: limited and special circumstances. Under Obama he would parole roughly
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: five thousand illegal immigrants a year. Under Trump, it was
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: a comparable number, so it took they were extraordinary circumstances.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: You know how much Biden is doing about eight hundred
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: thousand a year. Wow, he took Obama's five thousand a
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: year and he blew it up to eight hundred thousand.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: They've made a decision, we are going to allow an invasion. Now,
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: what is Texas doing. They're laying constantina wire. They're laying
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: basically really jagged razor wire all along the border. And
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: in fact, here let's look at some of the video
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: of what they're laying and also understand the Biden administration
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: is actively suing them, is actively attacking them, is trying
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: to tear down the border, the wire, to let cartels
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: in and to let the invasion occur. Take a look
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: at the governor of Texas talking about this, well, first.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: I'll be shocked. That would be a boneheaded move on
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: his part, a total disaster for one. As you might imagine,
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: we are prepared in the event that that unlikely event
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: does occur to make sure that we will be able
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: to continue exactly what we've been doing over the past months,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: and that is building these barriers, whether it be the
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: constantin or wire or other at that clime, border barriers,
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: whatever we've been building. The Bido administration is now trying
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: to attack us because of it, and we will continue
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: to do exactly what we're doing to expand our denial
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: of illegal entry into the state of Texas.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: You listen to the governor there, and I had an
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: interesting debate this week with a liberal on TV who said.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Texas is totally wrong. They're out of line.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: They cannot say that they're being invaded because to say
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: you're invaded, they have to wear a uniform of an
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: official country that's invading you, aka military.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Would that stand under that argument, Hamas could invade. Understand
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: how idiotic that argument is. You could have a million
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Hamas terrorists cross over the border and start blowing people up.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: They could wage October seventh that these imbeciles would say, no,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: it's not an invasion because they're not a country.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: And they're not wearing a uniform of that country.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Like that theory October seventh in Israel was not an invasion.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Like that's idiotic on its face. And by the way,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: I fully expect. So where does this case stand? So
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Texas has laid the wire along the border, particularly an
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: eagle pass miles of it. The Biden administration wants to
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: tear it down. Texas filed a lawsuit against the Biden
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: administration saying you can't tear it down. What happened is
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: the Biden administration one in Federal District court. Texas appealed
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: to the Fifth Circuit, the Federal Court of Appeals. Texas
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: won in the Fifth Circuit and what they got was
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: an injunction, which is an order from the Fifth Circuit
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: against the federal government tearing down the concertine or wire.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: The United States appealed that injunction to the Supreme Court,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: and unfortunately, the Supreme Court five to four ruled in
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: favor of the Biden administration.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: So where does it stand? Where it stands right now?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: In that ruling, I want to be queer because we've
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: talked about this in the previous pot and I want
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: to make sure everybody that's watching this understands this. It
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: was five to four, but it didn't say you had
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: to take down the razorwar either.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Explain that for beer. That man missed that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: So it's important to understand Number One. A ton of Democrats,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: a ton of reporters, a ton of leftists are saying
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Texas is defying the Supreme Court is defying a Supreme
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Court order.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: That is a lie.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: There is no order that impacts Texas in any way,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: shape or form concerning this. This was a lawsuit by
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Texas against the United States. There had been an order
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: against the Biden administration. The Supreme Court took away the
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: order against the Biden administration. So where things stand right now?
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: If Joe Biden orders the federal government to go tear
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: down the wire. The federal government will not be violating
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: an injunction. Now, the Court didn't say the federal government
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: has to tear down the wire. Court didn't say the
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: federal government should tear down the wire. The Court also
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: didn't say that Texas couldn't lay more wire.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what they're doing right.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: There's no order against Texas, and injunctions are, by their
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: nature temporary and emergency proceedings. The Fifth Circuit has scheduled
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: the oral argument in this case on the merits of
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: the case.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: On February eighth.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: February eighth, interestingly, is the same day the Supreme Court
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: has scheduled the oral argument in the Colorado case.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, with Donald Trump.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: With Donald Trump, So February eighth is going to be
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: a big oral argument day. Whatever happens in the Fifth Circuit,
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: that case is extremely likely to go back to the
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court, and I think the Supreme Court is likely
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: to take it and decide the issue on the merits,
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: and that'll be decided in the next couple of months.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: I think the Fifth Circuit is likely to decide quickly,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: and I expect a rapid appeal to the Supreme Court
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: and understand the five to four decision from the Supreme
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Court on the injunction. It was the three liberals plus
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: John Roberts and Amy Cony Barrett. Now nobody wrote it opinion,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: so we don't know their reasoning.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: By the way, is.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: That interesting to you? Would you have expected opinion saying
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: this saying this big?
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: Or was it?
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: It was such a quick thing to say, Hey, we're
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: going to go back to the fifth and let them
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: do their oral arguments.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: That's all we're saying about this.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Hence the fact they didn't say to Texas, you've got
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: to take down the raised wire and you can't lay
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: more of it.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: So look it.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: It is not shocking. Emergency appeals often they don't write.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: They don't always write opinions. They're decided on quick emergency appeals.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: The underlying merits are still being litigated. By the way,
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: there are also jurisdictional questions that are being debated in
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: the case that are fairly arcane and legal, but they
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: deal with whether the United States has waived sovereign immunity,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: in other words, whether Texas can sue the United States
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: in federal court for an injunction. And those are technical
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: legal questions that I don't know that we need to
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: get into the details in this podcast, But they have
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: nothing to do with whether the Biden administration can tear
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: down the wire. They simply question whether Texas is able
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: to sue the Biden administration in federal court.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: So there's a big dispute.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: A lot of the briefing, a lot of the argument
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: focused on that jurisdictional question, which has nothing to do
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: with the merits. So we don't know what John Roberts's
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: reasoning was, we don't know what amy Cony Barrett's reasoning was.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: To be fair, we don't know what any of the
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: nine justices because they didn't write. I will say this,
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: John Roberts and federal judges generally, particularly ones that are
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: in DC, that are on the Supreme Court, they tend
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: to be creatures of Washington. They tend to have a
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: general predilection that they side with the Feds against the States.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Let's actually have some analysis from Jonathan Turley, as a
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: constitutional law professor, someone I know and respect.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Here's what Professor Turley had to say.
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: Well, I certainly agree with the governor that this is
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: a violation of the understanding between the federal government and
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: the dates. The language in Article one, Section ten really
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: deals with that agreement that we gave made with the
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: states in the federal government to move from the Articles
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: of Confederation to a constitutional system with a strong federal government.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: I don't think anyone can honestly look at the southern
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: border and say that the federal government has fulfilled its pledge.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: This is no precedented crisis brought about, I believe by
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: President Biden's policies. So on all that, I agree, the
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: problem is that federal courts are unlikely to agree that
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: this is the invasion referenced in the Constitution. There's also
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: a reference to imminent danger, and certainly looking at hundreds
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: of thousands of people crossing an effectively open border presents
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: an imminent danger. But the courts are likely to define
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: that in the context of that provision, in the context
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: of an invasion, as with a foreign state. So I
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: think Texas is going to have a hard time making
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: that constitutional argument in court.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I have to ask themou the eminent danger parts, specifically
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: the fact that we know that people on the terrorists
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: watch lists have been coming across the open southern border.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: We had more that were caught last year that were
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: on that terrorist watch list in the last five years
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: before that combined, there's no reasonably that number is not
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: going to be up even higher this year based on
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: the number that are coming across the border. Is that
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: one of the arguments that Texas would make obviously right away.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, So take a look at this tweet from Fox News.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: So this is from Bill Malujin, who is the best
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: reporter on the border across the country. And by the way,
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: every other fake news entity ought to ask, why don't
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: they have a Bill mallusion. Why don't they have someone
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: reporting on the facts? Because he reports on it. There's
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: no one to see it that does this. No one
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: at MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Washington Post, New York Times,
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: not a one of them has a Bill Mallusion. He's
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: doing heroic work. Here's what Bill Mallusion reports breaking in
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: a Friday news dump. By the way, that's what the
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Biden administration does. It dumps all of it's bad news
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: on Friday in a Friday news dump. CBP officially reports
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: three hundred and two thousand and thirty four migrant encounters
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: in December, the highest month ever.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Recorded, and traditionally, December is not your highest month of
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: the year, has not been, but people are rushing the
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: border because they realize, go it's open, hurry up.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: CBP also reports Border Patrol arrested nineteen people on the
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: FBI terror watch list in December in one month, bringing
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: the total to fifty arrests for fiscal year twenty twenty four,
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: which started in October.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: So far the nineteen.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: When you see that centater, you get briefings on different
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: things in now security. That is an alarming number that
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: we caught because right that doesn't count the ones, the godaways,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: and we had record godaways in December as well.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: So understand under Trump, the number of people on the
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: terror watch list apprehended in an entire year, we're in
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: the single digits. They were like zero two in an
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: entire year. We're up to fifty and three months.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: And nineteen in the month of December alone.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, so the month of December is more than any
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: single year under Donald Trump.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: It may be more. I don't have the.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: Totals in front of it. Maybe more than all four
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: years of Donald Trump.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: It probably is.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: This is an order of magnitude, So I will say
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: when the case is at the Fifth Circuit. When it
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: gets to the Supreme Court, the argument is going to
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: have to be that what is happening at the border
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: right now is qualitatively different than just ordinary illegal immigration.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: It's not that the federal government is doing a bad job,
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: doing a negligent job is ineffective. Any case like that
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: would be likely to fail. It is in this instance
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: the Biden administration is actively complicit in an invasion of
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: ten million people into this country.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Ten million.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: That is a staggering number, including at a time the
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: border patrol is telling they're extremely worried about Hamas and
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: hesbela terrorist coming in to carry out a terror act.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: And not just that, they warned of an attack that
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: could very much resemble what happens against Israeli people. Yes,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: so they're not just saying it's like alone wolf style attack.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: They're saying and orchestrated, a well planned, well orchestrated attack
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: in the United States of America that could very much
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: mimic what we just witnessed and saw in Israel.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: And understand that Joe Biden, by the way, just about
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: every Washington Democrat are on the side of the human traffickers,
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: are on the side of the terrorists coming in that
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: this suit. So look, they are aspects of this lawsuit.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: The Biden administration frames it as Texas is preventing the
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: ability of border patrol agents to access the border. There's
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: a federal statute that says that agents can't access the border.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: And I will say, if the questioned is framed, can
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Texas officials physically stop, block, arrest a federal official from
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: going to the border? Texas will lose that question. Can
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: you forcibly stop a border patrol agent from accessing the border?
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: I think the answer to that would be no.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: So the next question is going to ask is this then,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: can Texas stop a Customs and Border Patrol agent who's
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: cutting down the bob wire and allowing people to come
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: into the country illegally?
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Well, and understand, it's not that the border patrol agent.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: The statute saying to access the border is written in
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: the context of apprehending illegal immigrants. The Biden administration doesn't
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: want apprehending illegal immigrants. They want illegal immigrants to come in.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: When they cut it. They're asking for them to come.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: In and understand, it's not cutting it. The Biden administration
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: wants to destroy miles of wire. So state of Texas
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: has spent billions of dollars securing the border because the
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: federal government won't do so. The State of Texas has
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: built border wall. Imagine if the Biden administration was coming
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: in with dynamite and blowing up the walls that Texas
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: is built. Look, Texas. The reason Texas sued the United
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: States is they said, you don't have a right to
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: destroy our property. Imagine the federal government showed up and
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: started blowing up state buildings. Yeah, I mean under the
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: federal government's argument, they're like, we can destroyed whatever we want,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: where the Feds and Texas is saying, no, you can't.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: There is a limit on your ability.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: The State of Texas has constructed this, and it's one
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: thing if a border patrol agent says, hey, I need
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: to get to that river. I think if it were
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: framed that narrowly, the federal courts are going to side
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: with the ability of the federal government to get to
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: the border. But this is the question of does the
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: federal government have the authority to just destroy.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Miles and miles.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Of wire barrier put up by the State of Texas
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: in order to stop an invasion, and I think that's
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: a very different question. I hope when it gets to
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: the merits that the Supreme Court resolves it differently. Now,
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: there are also really untested questions of constitutional law. There
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: are potentials of direct confrontation between state officials and federal
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: officials that could get really messy. There's also a dynamic
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: that Biden is getting so extreme he's facing what is
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: potentially a revolt within the federal government.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: By the way, the word they use this week on
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: TV was insurrection, and Griff Jenkins Fox News put out
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: this tweet talking about what you were just mentioning, take
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: a look at this, guys, because this is a very
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: interesting scenario.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: It says a senior CBP official tells Fox the relationship
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: between Border Patrol, Texas DPS and the TMD remains strong.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Bottom line, Border Patrol has no plans to remove infrastructure
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: see wire placed by Texas along the border. Our posture
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: remains the same. So there were people on TV saying,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: if this is true, this is like an insurrection.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's absurd.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: But if you have federal government officials that aren't listening
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: to the quote orders of the Biden administration and saying
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: we're not going to do this.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Well, look, and mind you, the same people who are
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: saying this are the democrats elected democrats and the lefties
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: in the press who praised, for example, people in the
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: military under Trump who they said, well, they won't follow
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: his orders, they will resist his orders. Mind you, in
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: this instance, Look, I know the border patrol agents, many
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: of them very very well. I spent a lot of
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: time with him. They are horrified at what Joe Biden
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: is doing. They're watching the body bags, the death, the suffering,
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: the children who were assaulted, the women who were raped.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: They're seeing it on a daily basis. And it is Look,
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: at some level, if you have a president who is
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: so utterly out of touch that he wages war on
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: the law, that he's defying the law, that he is
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: instructing him go destroy go use my example, go bomb,
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: go bomb the walls, you would expect some federal officials
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: to say, hold on, you have no legal authority to
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: do this. This is just an abuse of power. And look,
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: our sisters, we are pushing to the edges of a
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: constitutional crisis because we have a president who is so
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: utterly lawless that he puts his partisan political agenda above
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: the rule of law, above federal immigration law, above the Constitution,
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: above people's welfare, above protecting the lives of Texans, and
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: it is all politics, all the time with the Biden
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: White House.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: It's a new year, twenty twenty four, and a lot
• 36:28

  Speaker 1: I got to ask you.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: You just said I think it was very interesting, and
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: that was about a constitutional crisis. Texas isn't having to
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: do this alone. Thank goodness, you've got I think it's
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: twenty five different states now that have come to the
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: aid of Texas fighting for states rights, saying you have
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: a right to defend your state.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: And it is powerful governor after governor after governor saying
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: we stand with Texas, we stand with Texas, we stand
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: with Texas. And Joe Biden is trying to say to
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: the states, I don't care. I want your state to
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: be invaded. I want the law to be ignored because
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: my partisan politics matter more than your obligation to protect
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: the safety of your citizens.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: So explain that the rules. And this is I think
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: a very important point because it's going to come up. Obviously,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: you have some states are sitting, for example, state troopers
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: to the state. Who is that under state authority? Is
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: that federal if you're clashing, right if you're temperate. And
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: then and then the second part is the National Guard
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: can work in two different scenarios, one for the governor
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, the federal government can
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: come in. And that's been a big fight over the
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: last several days of what if he nationalizes the federal
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: you know these guardsmen, how does that play out? And
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: explain how it works. If there's two different people that
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: are your boss, who do you decide with?
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: So ordinarily, the National Guard is under the direction.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Of the governors, and the National Guard of each state
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: is under that governor of that state.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Now, under federal law, the president has the authority to
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: call up to nationalize the national Guard and put it
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: under the direction of the federal government. And a bunch
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: of folks on the left are demanding that Biden do
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: that in Texas.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think he will that.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: The clip we played of Greg Abbott, what he was
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: responding to, was the claim what happens if he tries
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: to nationalize the Guard? I don't think Biden will do
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: that because it has a risk of backfiring.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: If he did.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure what will happen, But what he cannot
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: nationalize is DPS troopers. He cannot nationalize the state law enforcement.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: And so even example is Florida sent a lot of
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: state troopers right to Texas this past week there was
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: a caravan coming up.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: He could have no control over them, none whatsoever. The
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: federal government does not have the ability to nationalize state
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: law enforcement. So conceivably Biden could try to nationalize the
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: National Guard. And at that point, assuming the Guard complies
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: with those orders and they're not challenged in court, they're
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: not struck down. Assuming the Guard complies with those orders,
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: it's no different than Biden's sending in the army. It
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: is federal military, but there are still state officials and
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: the potential for clashes. Now, do I think you're gonna
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: see state and federal officials shooting each other?
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: No? I do think.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Look, you've got crazies on the left that are pushing
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: you know. Might you see Biden try to order order
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: federal officials to arrest state officials?
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's possible.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: And we are starting to get into very uncharted territory.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Who could be arrest in that scenario is that the
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: governor on down, the governor, the attorney are you talking
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: about like a guy at the border. He's saying, I'm
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: not going to take down that razor wire, and they say, okay,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: arrest him or who's laying razor wire.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: For example, And I don't think that's gonna happen. But
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden is listening to the radicals, the extreme in
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: his party, and he keeps escalating and escalating and escalating,
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: and it's dangerous. Just like Joe Biden is endangering america
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: lives abroad, and we saw three servicemen and women murdered
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: this weekend by Iranian proxies because of Joe Biden's lawlessness
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: at and support of genocidal killers. At the same time,
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden is endangering Americans here because of his lawlessness
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: and support for homicidal killers that are human traffickers and
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: drug traffickers. In both instances, it is because this Biden
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: White House puts politics above the safety and security of Americans.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: And the question every Democrat is going to have to answer,
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: every Democrat senator, every Democrat House member, do you stand
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: with the lawlessness and the extreme agenda of the Biden
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: White House, or do you stand with the safety of
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: the American people and at least to date, just about
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: every elected Democrat in the country puts politics above safety,
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: and that's what makes where we are right now so
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: extreme and so dangerous.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: You just said two words, so extreme and so dangerous.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I do want to remind people. Wasn't this administration that
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: said that the adults are finally back in charge, so
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: we will have none of these issues. I just want
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: to remind everybody, this is what they said about their
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: own team has.
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: Any connection to reality about what is going on around them.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Should have watched that and said the adults are back
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: in the room.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: It seems as though we have a professional adult once
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: again in the White House who's just simply doing the work.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: Really, the theme I would say is the adults are back.
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: Still it is a relief to have adults in charge.
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: Now we have adults in the White House.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, the adults are back in the room.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: There is a sense, I think the world over that
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: the adults have returned. We have an adult in the
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: White House now, and it's glorious. If this is what
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: adulting looks like, I'll take a kid in charge at
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: God bless so.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: We actually and the irony is every word of that
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: is a lie number. Well, look, Joe Biden is a
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: senior citizen, and he may be so adult that he's
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: not aware of what's happening. But I'll tell you the
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: agenda has been extreme and dangerous, and you look at
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: things like the withdrawal from Afghanistan incompetent, naive, ideological. It
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: is the opposite of adult leadership. Adult leadership focuses on
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: let's follow the law. Adult leadership focuses on we've got
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: a task to do. Adult leadership focuses on let's keep
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: people safe. Adult leadership focuses on what's an American interest?
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: Adult leadership focuses on how do we stop bad guys
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: from hurting us? Everything Joe Biden and the Democrats have
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: done is the opposite of adult leadership. It is naive,
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: it is dangerous, it is extreme, and the country is
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: a lot less safe as a result.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Don't forget. We do this show Monday, Wednesday, Fridays.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: We do a week in review on Saturdays as well,
• 43:48
