1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: We're no longer a sovereign nation. We don't control or borders.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: We are allowing an invasion to take place. God knows

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: how many people have illegally entered the United States. We

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: have zero idea the overall impact it's had. We know

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: we're letting terrorists, cartel members were allowing drugs like fentanyl

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: to be trafficked, killing Americans by the droves. And the

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: Biden administration doesn't care. They wanted this. You just look

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: at the actions, the initial actions done by Joe Biden

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: when he took office. He halted deportations for a hundred days.

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: He did things like and remain in Mexico when it

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: is stopped the building of a wall along the southern border,

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: or DHS secretary said that crossing the border illegally was

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: not grounds for deportation. They want this lawless environment that

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: we live in, and of course it's impacting Americans. You

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: look at cities like New York and they're saying it's

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: too much there too, burdened by a small amount of

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants coming to their city. And you look at

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: states like Texas who are absorbing the brunt of it.

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: What do you think the impact is there. We're gonna

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: get into all of this with the Attorney General of Texas,

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Ken Paxton, acts about the impact on his state and

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: also more specifically, the ending of Title forty two. Now,

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: for those that are unfamiliar, Title forty two happened in

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. The CDC had

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: issued this public health order that you know the name

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: of COVID essentially allowed authorities to expel illegal immigrants at

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: US borders like the southern border. It's been extended multiple times.

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is going to end Title forty two. So

29
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 1: you look at what we've seen along the southern border,

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: you look at the impact his policies have had already,

31
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: and then now you're going to end this. So we're

32
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: going to talk to Attorney General Kent Paxton about it. Also,

33
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: he has launched an investigation into NGOs they're aiding and

34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 1: abetting illegal immigration. We're going to talk talked all about

35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: that investigation, what he's learned, why he launched it, Also

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: get into big tech a little bit, and some other

37
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: issues like what we should learn from the mid term election.

38
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: So I hope you enjoy this conversation with the Attorney

39
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: General of Texas, Kent Paxson, as much as I did

40
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: Attorney General before we get started on the border. Congratulations

41
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: and getting re elected. You all did well in Texas,

42
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: but that didn't seem to be the case throughout the

43
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: rest of the country. Why do you think Republicans fell

44
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: short in the mid terms elsewhere? You know, I don't

45
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: know exactly. I mean, I know that we've done a

46
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: much better job, I think than many other states dealing

47
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: with election fraud. That we've got our own challenges because

48
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: our own Court of Colonel Kills, which is a Republican court,

49
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: struck down a nineteen fifty one statue allowing not allowing

50
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: directing from the legislature the Attorney General to prosey voter fraud.

51
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to address that. UM that ruling,

52
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: which I think is absolutely wrong and definitely designed to

53
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: make sure that there's more voter fraud in Texas. UM. So,

54
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it seems like some of

55
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: these major counties and some of these big states have

56
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: a have a major impact that they don't seem to

57
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: be able to count their votes on time, and so

58
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if that's it's it's that,

59
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: or there's there's something else going on. But it seems

60
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: odd to me that in a midterm election and an

61
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: off year where historically the party not in power has

62
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: been super well and and and polling seemed to indicate

63
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: that they were going to do well, and then you know,

64
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: in certain states, battleground states, we didn't. We didn't do

65
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: as well as expected. Do you think mail and ballots

66
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: are responsible for that? Mail and ballots are almost impossible

67
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: to know whether people are are defrauding the elections because

68
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: typically in Texas you can only vote million ballots if

69
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: you satisfy certain categories of people and you have to

70
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: actually sign the application. If they're just randomly sending out

71
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: ballots they tried to do in Texas two years ago,

72
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: there's no way to know who's voting if they send

73
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: out millions of ballots like they did in these other states. Um,

74
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: like I know, in Pennsylvania they went from like you know,

75
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: six years ago, they went from two and fifty thousand

76
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: ballots approximately to two point five million million dollars And

77
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: who knows who voted on those? You can't They're right,

78
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: you can't prove voter fraud because there's no there's no verification,

79
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: there's there's there's no signature verification, there's no photo I

80
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: d anybody can fill those ballots out and you you

81
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't know. It's pretty troublesome. I mean, they obviously used

82
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: COVID to append the political process and to you know,

83
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: give themselves an advantage. We have the most loose uh

84
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: requirements for voting probably in the world. I mean, for

85
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: a for a country that prides itself on unfair elections

86
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: and and a republic that's controlled by the vote and

87
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be controlled by the voters, we have very

88
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: very loose restrictions and very loose requirements for verifying that

89
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: we got the right people voting. So it's it's extremely concerning,

90
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: at least to me and too many people that care

91
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: about the elections. Now, if you're if you're part of

92
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: groups that are less concerned about that, I kind of

93
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: wonder why you don't care about that. And the only

94
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: the only answer I can come up with is you

95
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: like you like that system because it allows for a

96
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of voting that shouldn't be done.

97
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I think that's probably the

98
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: answer you know, I wanted to ask you what's as

99
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: a border state, what's the situation on the ground right

100
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: now along the southern border and in the impact it's

101
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: having on your state. Well, since Biden has been in office,

102
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: it's it's gotten, it's gotten quickly, rapidly to be the

103
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: worst it's ever been. And look when you say in

104
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: your first day in office, which Biden did, I'm not

105
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: going to deport anybody, and then start dismantling federal law,

106
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: which she's not supposed to be able to do as

107
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: as one person. It's supposed to be done through Congress.

108
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: When you start dismantling federal laws or released immigration everything

109
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: that worked under Trump, and you look at it and

110
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,559
Speaker 1: you undo everything that was actually working, and you find

111
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: out that now you have a massive increase in the

112
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: illegal immigration three percent, maybe now it's going to be

113
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 1: more than that title forty two going away later this month.

114
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how to say it in

115
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: a way. This is what they want. They claim that,

116
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: you know, there's nothing they can do about it. But

117
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: how come two years ago we didn't have this problem.

118
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: How come President Trump was able to take advantage of

119
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: the remain in Mexico and Title forty two and stopping

120
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: catching release and building the wall, and they said, no,

121
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: we don't want to do any of that. Oh, isn't

122
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: it weird that it's it's it's form percent more in

123
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: illegal immigration. So it's getting worse and it's devastating border states,

124
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: border cities, and it's coming to a town New Year

125
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: because they these people have to be moved around. They

126
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: can't all stay in one city or two cities or

127
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: five cities. Are gonna be all over the country and

128
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: we're all gonna be paying for it. We're all gonna

129
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: be dealing with it both economically and we're gonna be

130
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: dealing with it from the standpoint of increased crime, increased

131
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, drug trafficking, human trafficking. This is all being

132
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: welcomed and aiding abetting the cartels that this is all

133
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: about the administration wants well and entitled forty two is

134
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:31,559
Speaker 1: uh in relation to public health? Essentially it was used

135
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: under the Trump administration and then just carry it out

136
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: since But what's confusing, sir, is so in April, the

137
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: CDC announced plans to terminate the order, saying it's no

138
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: longer necessary with public health conditions with vaccines, treatments, etcetera.

139
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: But then a few months later they issued their student

140
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: loan baro bailout under the guise of a pandemic, and

141
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: then the White House in September walked back comments that

142
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: the pandemic was over. So which one is it? You know?

143
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: Is it? It's to ever which whatever they can use

144
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: for political purpose to do what they want. So for

145
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: this purpose, for the purpose of inviting is many illegals,

146
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: whether they're terrorists or criminals, doesn't matter to them. They

147
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: want them all, then the pandemic is over. If it's

148
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: for student loan bailouts and basically buy votes, which is

149
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: what that is, or other purposes where they want to

150
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: control the American people, control the American citizens as opposed

151
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: to illegals, then there is a pandemic. Still we still

152
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: have a problem. So they're using it both ways, and

153
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: they argue in court both ways, and and unfortunately some

154
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: of our judiciary will is not aware or is ignoring

155
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: the fact that they're arguing out of both sides of

156
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: their mouth, because I mean, you would think that would

157
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: weaken their argument if they're not making a consistent one

158
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: in court, you know, one would think, uh, you know,

159
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: is there a way to gauge increased crime in the

160
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: state of Texas. We've essentially opened the floodgates and allowed

161
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: this invasion to take place. Yeah, I don't think you tried.

162
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: It's being tracked every day. It's just you don't always

163
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: get the numbers are not always the media is not

164
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: always uncovering them. The biggest clear that, uh, crime is

165
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: increasing in in almost all of our cities where we

166
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: have more illegal immigration immigrants coming to and it's not

167
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: just in Texas, it's all over the country. And I

168
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: think you can see that. And you know, part of

169
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: that policies related to Democrats defunding police and not prosecuting

170
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: crimes anymore, ignoring you know, state laws, and just nullifying

171
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: what legislatures have passed. But it's also I think attributed

172
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: to some degree to illegal immigration and the fact that

173
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: the bind administration not only lets, I mean they let

174
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: everybody and they encourage we're fighting them right now and

175
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: whether they can release criminals into our country they want to.

176
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: They're they're begging, they're fighting for these criminals to be

177
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: released into our country, and we're saying, you can't. You know,

178
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: you're already violing all these other federal laws on them agration,

179
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: but certainly you have to keep illegal immigrants out who

180
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: have been convicted of crimes. And the Biden administrations are

181
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: saying absolutely not. We want these people to be here

182
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: as many as possible. Well, and they don't care that

183
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: Texas and Arizona are bearing the brunt of this. And

184
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: then we saw what happened when these illegal immigrants were

185
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: shipped off to Martha's Vineyard. They said thank you for

186
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: your short stay, and shipped them off to Cape God.

187
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: Is that what we're What were your thoughts on on that?

188
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: And just sort of the hypocrisy with trying to force

189
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: you guys in Texas to bear the brunt of this,

190
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: and then you know, for New York City, it's just

191
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: too much. For Martha's Vineyard, it's just too much. Well,

192
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: so it's interesting that these the sanctuary cities were created

193
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: during the Trump administration, and they were created because they

194
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: said that Trump was, you know, doing terrible things by

195
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: keeping these people out. Well, it was easy for them

196
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: to do when Trump was protecting them, right, so they

197
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: could say, on one side, hey, this is terrible, but

198
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: it never impacted them. Well, Governor Abbott, I thought it

199
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: was a genius news start sending them, as you know,

200
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: to New York, Chicago, Washington to see Martha's finger, I guess,

201
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: Governor to Santis ascent from Florida. And suddenly you found

202
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: out these these cities that were so opposed to what

203
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: Trump was doing protecting the American people, now that they

204
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: were dealing with the consequences just a small drop compared

205
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: to what we deal with every day. We deal with

206
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: thousands every day, five six, seven thousand they were they

207
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: didn't get that many ever, and we deal with that

208
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: every day. And yet suddenly they wanted help from the

209
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: federal government. They were screaming about how terrible we were

210
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: to share a little tiny bit of our burden with them.

211
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: They couldn't bear the smallest percentage, less than one percent

212
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: of what we're dealing with. That was way too much

213
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: for for for them to be called on to deal with.

214
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: And that was just unconscionable of our governor to say, hey,

215
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: you guys should share some of the burden of this,

216
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: and they said, no, we don't want that burden. You

217
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: guys should let everybody into your state and you deal

218
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: with it, and that's the right way they should be handled.

219
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: That's the appropriate, you know, caring way to deal with it.

220
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: Is Texas and Arizona have to have to deal with this.

221
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: We shouldn't have to deal with this. Yet we still

222
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: think they should come, just not to our place. Let's

223
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: take a quick commercial break back with the Attorney General

224
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: of Texas, Kent Paxton. You know, now you've got Governor

225
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom in California saying that California is going to

226
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: break amid the flood of illegal immigrants when titled forty

227
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: two expires. Do you think the Biden administration will start

228
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: doing something now that you've got liberal states like California

229
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: state that he obviously needs to do. You know, he's

230
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: looking at for Do you think that will uh, you know,

231
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: change the Biden administration's policies on this. Yeah, that's a

232
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: great question. I don't know, I haven't seen anything. I mean,

233
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: people dying doesn't affect them, so maybe politics will. But

234
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: you know the fact that immigrants have have died, but

235
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: the hundreds along the border come up, and how dangerous

236
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: that is an house thousands of children been human trafficked.

237
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: How literally hundreds of thousands of people including shouldern have

238
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: died event all over Hooses as a result of their

239
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: their border you know, policies. Maybe politics is the only

240
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: thing that will save the country. And having some Democrats

241
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: like Kevin newsoon finally speak out and it's about time,

242
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: it's uh and maybe it will help. Maybe politics is

243
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: all he cares about. Certainly lives and the impact on

244
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: the American people who are not are not factors that

245
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: play into his his his decision making. Well, yeah, that's

246
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, they certainly don't seem to care

247
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: about Americans. The financial tool that increased on crime, the

248
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: fent and all, which is killing people by the droves.

249
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to ask you about your investigation

250
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: into NGOs that are aiding and ebetting illegal immigration. Why

251
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: did why did you launch that and what have you

252
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: discovered so far? But we've just started a few months

253
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: ago because we realized, like we were concerned about our

254
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: own state bar foundation aiding ebetting illegal immigration. So we've

255
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: started an investigation them and we're expanding that investigation um

256
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: and so we're actually as also looking at other possible

257
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: non governmental organizations to to make sure that at least

258
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: the ones in Texas because we have a responsibility in

259
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: the AGS office to make sure that corporations and that

260
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: includes nonprofits are following our laws, and if they're not,

261
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: we we have an obligation to go investigate them and potentially,

262
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: uh make them pay the consequences of their of their

263
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: violation of state law. So we're going to continue expanding

264
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: our look as we find out more information about other

265
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: possible non governmental organizations that may be doing what we

266
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: think the State Bar of Texas is doing, and hopefully

267
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: we'll get to the bottom this and we'll certainly going

268
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: to try to stop the ones we know about, which, again,

269
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: the State Bar of Texas is shocking, but even they should,

270
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: of all organizations, be uh following the rule of law,

271
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: and yet they may be the worst offenders. Well, it

272
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: seems like the rule of law has been you know,

273
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: thrown out ever since Trump. Right, there's just this mentality

274
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: now that all is fair and you know, trying to

275
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: destroy Republicans and Trump and let's just throw everything, uh,

276
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, out the out the door. Nothing matters anymore

277
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: in terms of the things that we us to hold

278
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: deer as a country. No, I think that started actually

279
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: under the Obama administration. You know, he he didn't have

280
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: control of Congress after two years because the American public

281
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: throughout the Democrats, because some of the terrible legislation that

282
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: was being passed. And so I think Obama made the

283
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: choice that he was going to start making his own

284
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: laws through agencies, through effective action, and he taught the

285
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: rest of the country, hey, this is an appropriate way

286
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: to forget the Constitution. I'm not who cares about that.

287
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: It was written about guys term fty years ago. Let's

288
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: just do what we want to do, whether we're at

289
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: state level, whether we're at city level. We'll just start

290
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: making our own laws. That's what d a s are

291
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: doing across the country. They're not enforcing state law. They're saying, hey,

292
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: we're just we just don't do that stuff now. And

293
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: that's what President Biden is doing. He's he's stepped ab up.

294
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: He's doing that on steroids. And it's really unfortunate because

295
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: it's totally moving away from the constitutional form of government

296
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: that was that empowers the people instead of individuals like

297
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. But I think that's probably the intent. You know,

298
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: they want the control. They don't want us to have power,

299
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, that's I feel like that's sort of just

300
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: the objective of the left period is everything they do

301
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: is to erode individual liberty and empower, you know, the elite,

302
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: the regime, the people in charge, which is sad because

303
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: that's the contradictory to what the antithesis of what we're

304
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be as a constitutional republic. Well, the founders

305
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: were fearful of this very thing. They were fearful of of,

306
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, big government. They tried to that's why they

307
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: separated powers. And that's why it's so important that these

308
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: lawsuits against the Biden administration are successful because if if

309
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: if we do not keep separation of powers, then we

310
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: end up putting too much power in the hands of

311
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: the president and he's honestly, it's no different than living

312
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: in you know, Benzezuela or China, Russia, you know, Germany

313
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: in the thirties. What's the difference That you have a

314
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: few people making decisions for all of us, who supposed

315
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: they are smarter than us, who basically condemn people that

316
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: disagree with them and try to make them out to

317
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: be bad people, are stupid people. Well that's sort of that.

318
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: You can see that with the Biden administration. Almost every

319
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: Day telling us that certain types of Republicans are bad

320
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: people and that they're they're they're not worthy of being protected,

321
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: they're not worthy of constitutional protections, and they should all

322
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: be you know, silenced, and they're working with big corporations

323
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: and big tech to do that. Well, I got hit

324
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: by the left by saying that, you know, the people

325
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: criticizing tried on there's zero COVID policy, which they should

326
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 1: be criticized, but like we really weren't that much different,

327
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: and if it wasn't for guns and for some of

328
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: the checks and balances we have, we very well, that's

329
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: the direction the left wanted to take us. You know,

330
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you real quick before we go. Uh,

331
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: obviously we're learning a lot with the collusion between government

332
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: and big tech, both with Missouri versus Biden. Then also

333
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: the Twitter files as well as some recently reports by

334
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: publications like the Intercept. What is Texas doing to stand

335
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: up against big tech and to try to fight this

336
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: collusion and really what seems to be a violation of

337
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: the First Amendment. Yeah, it's not just the First Amenments,

338
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: also the second. So we've got we've got investigations, we've

339
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: got lawsuits, against Google. We've got three or four losses

340
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: against Google. We've got a lawsuitains Facebook, we have a

341
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: lawsuit against Twitter. We have investigations of Federal Express and

342
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: UPS and let me just use those two as an example.

343
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: We it's odd but suddenly the two of them, those

344
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: two companies are very same time, have policies that that

345
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: require gun manufacturers to disclose to them separately and then

346
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: transport separately guns parts and other related items so that

347
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: they can supposedly keep track of all of this information.

348
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: And who would want that information other than potentially the

349
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: Biden administration, which of course the Biden administration can't do

350
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: that directly. But it's odd that two corporations at the

351
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: same time, the first time in their history, suddenly want

352
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: to know all this information about guns. So the Biden

353
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: administration is I would call it workarounds of the Constitution.

354
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: And they're doing the same thing with our First Amendment

355
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: by working with big tech to to flag people who

356
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: talk about issues that the government doesn't like, whether it's

357
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: COVID or whether or whatever the top of the elections,

358
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: whatever the topic is that they don't want more information

359
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: out about. Much like China UM, the federal government isn't

360
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: allowed to do that, of course, the United States ender

361
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: the Constitution, but what they're doing is using big tech

362
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 1: and big corporations to be their stand in, which effectively

363
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: means big government is doing exactly what they do in

364
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: China and what they do in Russia, which is limiting

365
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: free speech, limiting Second Amendment rights. And so they're going

366
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: down the list trying to work around the Constitution to

367
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: eliminate our constitutional rights, and we if we are not vigilant,

368
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: we will end up indirectly like these other countries where

369
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: big government is controlling what we say, what we do,

370
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: and basically eliminating the Bill of Rights. Well, Attorney General

371
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: Kent Paxton, we're grateful for you in your time and

372

00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: like you in office. So I'm so glad that you

374
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: were re elected. And please just taking the fight to

375
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: the Biden administration and standing up for reading in America

376
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: because it is for sure under attack. Well, thank you

377
