WEBVTT - Title 42 with Ken Paxton

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>We're no longer a sovereign nation. We don't control or borders.

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:08.600
<v Speaker 1>We are allowing an invasion to take place. God knows

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>how many people have illegally entered the United States. We

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>have zero idea the overall impact it's had. We know

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>we're letting terrorists, cartel members were allowing drugs like fentanyl

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.119
<v Speaker 1>to be trafficked, killing Americans by the droves. And the

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration doesn't care. They wanted this. You just look

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>at the actions, the initial actions done by Joe Biden

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>when he took office. He halted deportations for a hundred days.

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>He did things like and remain in Mexico when it

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>is stopped the building of a wall along the southern border,

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>or DHS secretary said that crossing the border illegally was

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>not grounds for deportation. They want this lawless environment that

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.879
<v Speaker 1>we live in, and of course it's impacting Americans. You

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>look at cities like New York and they're saying it's

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>too much there too, burdened by a small amount of

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigrants coming to their city. And you look at

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>states like Texas who are absorbing the brunt of it.

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>What do you think the impact is there. We're gonna

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.479
<v Speaker 1>get into all of this with the Attorney General of Texas,

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Ken Paxton, acts about the impact on his state and

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>also more specifically, the ending of Title forty two. Now,

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>for those that are unfamiliar, Title forty two happened in

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. The CDC had

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 1>issued this public health order that you know the name

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>of COVID essentially allowed authorities to expel illegal immigrants at

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>US borders like the southern border. It's been extended multiple times.

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden is going to end Title forty two. So

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.279
<v Speaker 1>you look at what we've seen along the southern border,

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>you look at the impact his policies have had already,

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and then now you're going to end this. So we're

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>going to talk to Attorney General Kent Paxton about it. Also,

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>he has launched an investigation into NGOs they're aiding and

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.639
<v Speaker 1>abetting illegal immigration. We're going to talk talked all about

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>that investigation, what he's learned, why he launched it, Also

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>get into big tech a little bit, and some other

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>issues like what we should learn from the mid term election.

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>So I hope you enjoy this conversation with the Attorney

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 1>General of Texas, Kent Paxson, as much as I did

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General before we get started on the border. Congratulations

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and getting re elected. You all did well in Texas,

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>but that didn't seem to be the case throughout the

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>rest of the country. Why do you think Republicans fell

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:49.119
<v Speaker 1>short in the mid terms elsewhere? You know, I don't

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>know exactly. I mean, I know that we've done a

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>much better job, I think than many other states dealing

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>with election fraud. That we've got our own challenges because

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>our own Court of Colonel Kills, which is a Republican court,

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>struck down a nineteen fifty one statue allowing not allowing

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>directing from the legislature the Attorney General to prosey voter fraud.

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna have to address that. UM that ruling,

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>which I think is absolutely wrong and definitely designed to

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>make sure that there's more voter fraud in Texas. UM. So,

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I mean, it seems like some of

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>these major counties and some of these big states have

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a have a major impact that they don't seem to

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>be able to count their votes on time, and so

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know if that's it's it's that,

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>or there's there's something else going on. But it seems

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>odd to me that in a midterm election and an

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>off year where historically the party not in power has

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>been super well and and and polling seemed to indicate

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that they were going to do well, and then you know,

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>in certain states, battleground states, we didn't. We didn't do

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>as well as expected. Do you think mail and ballots

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 1>are responsible for that? Mail and ballots are almost impossible

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>to know whether people are are defrauding the elections because

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>typically in Texas you can only vote million ballots if

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>you satisfy certain categories of people and you have to

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>actually sign the application. If they're just randomly sending out

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>ballots they tried to do in Texas two years ago,

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>there's no way to know who's voting if they send

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>out millions of ballots like they did in these other states. Um,

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 1>like I know, in Pennsylvania they went from like you know,

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>six years ago, they went from two and fifty thousand

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>ballots approximately to two point five million million dollars And

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>who knows who voted on those? You can't They're right,

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>you can't prove voter fraud because there's no there's no verification,

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>there's there's there's no signature verification, there's no photo I

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>d anybody can fill those ballots out and you you

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't know. It's pretty troublesome. I mean, they obviously used

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 1>COVID to append the political process and to you know,

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>give themselves an advantage. We have the most loose uh

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 1>requirements for voting probably in the world. I mean, for

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>a for a country that prides itself on unfair elections

0:04:55.640 --> 0:05:00.359
<v Speaker 1>and and a republic that's controlled by the vote and

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be controlled by the voters, we have very

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>very loose restrictions and very loose requirements for verifying that

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>we got the right people voting. So it's it's extremely concerning,

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>at least to me and too many people that care

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>about the elections. Now, if you're if you're part of

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>groups that are less concerned about that, I kind of

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 1>wonder why you don't care about that. And the only

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the only answer I can come up with is you

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.359
<v Speaker 1>like you like that system because it allows for a

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of a lot of voting that shouldn't be done.

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I would agree with that. I think that's probably the

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>answer you know, I wanted to ask you what's as

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>a border state, what's the situation on the ground right

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>now along the southern border and in the impact it's

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>having on your state. Well, since Biden has been in office,

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>it's it's gotten, it's gotten quickly, rapidly to be the

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>worst it's ever been. And look when you say in

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>your first day in office, which Biden did, I'm not

0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>going to deport anybody, and then start dismantling federal law,

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.039
<v Speaker 1>which she's not supposed to be able to do as

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>as one person. It's supposed to be done through Congress.

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.919
<v Speaker 1>When you start dismantling federal laws or released immigration everything

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that worked under Trump, and you look at it and

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.559
<v Speaker 1>you undo everything that was actually working, and you find

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.160
<v Speaker 1>out that now you have a massive increase in the

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigration three percent, maybe now it's going to be

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.679
<v Speaker 1>more than that title forty two going away later this month.

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know how to say it in

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>a way. This is what they want. They claim that,

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's nothing they can do about it. But

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>how come two years ago we didn't have this problem.

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>How come President Trump was able to take advantage of

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the remain in Mexico and Title forty two and stopping

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 1>catching release and building the wall, and they said, no,

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to do any of that. Oh, isn't

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 1>it weird that it's it's it's form percent more in

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigration. So it's getting worse and it's devastating border states,

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>border cities, and it's coming to a town New Year

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>because they these people have to be moved around. They

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>can't all stay in one city or two cities or

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>five cities. Are gonna be all over the country and

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>we're all gonna be paying for it. We're all gonna

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 1>be dealing with it both economically and we're gonna be

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 1>dealing with it from the standpoint of increased crime, increased

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, drug trafficking, human trafficking. This is all being

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>welcomed and aiding abetting the cartels that this is all

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>about the administration wants well and entitled forty two is

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:31.559
<v Speaker 1>uh in relation to public health? Essentially it was used

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>under the Trump administration and then just carry it out

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>since But what's confusing, sir, is so in April, the

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>CDC announced plans to terminate the order, saying it's no

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 1>longer necessary with public health conditions with vaccines, treatments, etcetera.

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>But then a few months later they issued their student

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>loan baro bailout under the guise of a pandemic, and

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>then the White House in September walked back comments that

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic was over. So which one is it? You know?

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Is it? It's to ever which whatever they can use

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>for political purpose to do what they want. So for

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>this purpose, for the purpose of inviting is many illegals,

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>whether they're terrorists or criminals, doesn't matter to them. They

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>want them all, then the pandemic is over. If it's

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>for student loan bailouts and basically buy votes, which is

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>what that is, or other purposes where they want to

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>control the American people, control the American citizens as opposed

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to illegals, then there is a pandemic. Still we still

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>have a problem. So they're using it both ways, and

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>they argue in court both ways, and and unfortunately some

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>of our judiciary will is not aware or is ignoring

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.439
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they're arguing out of both sides of

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>their mouth, because I mean, you would think that would

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 1>weaken their argument if they're not making a consistent one

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>in court, you know, one would think, uh, you know,

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>is there a way to gauge increased crime in the

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.559
<v Speaker 1>state of Texas. We've essentially opened the floodgates and allowed

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>this invasion to take place. Yeah, I don't think you tried.

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>It's being tracked every day. It's just you don't always

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>get the numbers are not always the media is not

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>always uncovering them. The biggest clear that, uh, crime is

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>increasing in in almost all of our cities where we

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>have more illegal immigration immigrants coming to and it's not

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>just in Texas, it's all over the country. And I

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 1>think you can see that. And you know, part of

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>that policies related to Democrats defunding police and not prosecuting

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>crimes anymore, ignoring you know, state laws, and just nullifying

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:40.079
<v Speaker 1>what legislatures have passed. But it's also I think attributed

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>to some degree to illegal immigration and the fact that

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the bind administration not only lets, I mean they let

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 1>everybody and they encourage we're fighting them right now and

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 1>whether they can release criminals into our country they want to.

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>They're they're begging, they're fighting for these criminals to be

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.839
<v Speaker 1>released into our country, and we're saying, you can't. You know,

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you're already violing all these other federal laws on them agration,

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 1>but certainly you have to keep illegal immigrants out who

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>have been convicted of crimes. And the Biden administrations are

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>saying absolutely not. We want these people to be here

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>as many as possible. Well, and they don't care that

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Texas and Arizona are bearing the brunt of this. And

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>then we saw what happened when these illegal immigrants were

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>shipped off to Martha's Vineyard. They said thank you for

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>your short stay, and shipped them off to Cape God.

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Is that what we're What were your thoughts on on that?

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>And just sort of the hypocrisy with trying to force

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 1>you guys in Texas to bear the brunt of this,

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, for New York City, it's just

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>too much. For Martha's Vineyard, it's just too much. Well,

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 1>so it's interesting that these the sanctuary cities were created

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 1>during the Trump administration, and they were created because they

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 1>said that Trump was, you know, doing terrible things by

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>keeping these people out. Well, it was easy for them

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to do when Trump was protecting them, right, so they

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>could say, on one side, hey, this is terrible, but

0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.320
<v Speaker 1>it never impacted them. Well, Governor Abbott, I thought it

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 1>was a genius news start sending them, as you know,

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.959
<v Speaker 1>to New York, Chicago, Washington to see Martha's finger, I guess,

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Governor to Santis ascent from Florida. And suddenly you found

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>out these these cities that were so opposed to what

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump was doing protecting the American people, now that they

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 1>were dealing with the consequences just a small drop compared

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>to what we deal with every day. We deal with

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 1>thousands every day, five six, seven thousand they were they

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't get that many ever, and we deal with that

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>every day. And yet suddenly they wanted help from the

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.439
<v Speaker 1>federal government. They were screaming about how terrible we were

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>to share a little tiny bit of our burden with them.

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.439
<v Speaker 1>They couldn't bear the smallest percentage, less than one percent

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.960
<v Speaker 1>of what we're dealing with. That was way too much

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 1>for for for them to be called on to deal with.

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.959
<v Speaker 1>And that was just unconscionable of our governor to say, hey,

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you guys should share some of the burden of this,

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 1>and they said, no, we don't want that burden. You

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>guys should let everybody into your state and you deal

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 1>with it, and that's the right way they should be handled.

0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>That's the appropriate, you know, caring way to deal with it.

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Is Texas and Arizona have to have to deal with this.

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 1>We shouldn't have to deal with this. Yet we still

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>think they should come, just not to our place. Let's

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>take a quick commercial break back with the Attorney General

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 1>of Texas, Kent Paxton. You know, now you've got Governor

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Newsom in California saying that California is going to

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 1>break amid the flood of illegal immigrants when titled forty

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 1>two expires. Do you think the Biden administration will start

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>doing something now that you've got liberal states like California

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>state that he obviously needs to do. You know, he's

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>looking at for Do you think that will uh, you know,

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 1>change the Biden administration's policies on this. Yeah, that's a

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.720
<v Speaker 1>great question. I don't know, I haven't seen anything. I mean,

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>people dying doesn't affect them, so maybe politics will. But

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 1>you know the fact that immigrants have have died, but

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the hundreds along the border come up, and how dangerous

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 1>that is an house thousands of children been human trafficked.

0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>How literally hundreds of thousands of people including shouldern have

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>died event all over Hooses as a result of their

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 1>their border you know, policies. Maybe politics is the only

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.439
<v Speaker 1>thing that will save the country. And having some Democrats

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>like Kevin newsoon finally speak out and it's about time,

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.320
<v Speaker 1>it's uh and maybe it will help. Maybe politics is

0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>all he cares about. Certainly lives and the impact on

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the American people who are not are not factors that

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.439
<v Speaker 1>play into his his his decision making. Well, yeah, that's

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the thing. I mean, they certainly don't seem to care

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>about Americans. The financial tool that increased on crime, the

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.680
<v Speaker 1>fent and all, which is killing people by the droves.

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, I wanted to ask you about your investigation

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 1>into NGOs that are aiding and ebetting illegal immigration. Why

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 1>did why did you launch that and what have you

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>discovered so far? But we've just started a few months

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>ago because we realized, like we were concerned about our

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 1>own state bar foundation aiding ebetting illegal immigration. So we've

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.199
<v Speaker 1>started an investigation them and we're expanding that investigation um

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and so we're actually as also looking at other possible

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.960
<v Speaker 1>non governmental organizations to to make sure that at least

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the ones in Texas because we have a responsibility in

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the AGS office to make sure that corporations and that

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 1>includes nonprofits are following our laws, and if they're not,

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.079
<v Speaker 1>we we have an obligation to go investigate them and potentially,

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 1>uh make them pay the consequences of their of their

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>violation of state law. So we're going to continue expanding

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 1>our look as we find out more information about other

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 1>possible non governmental organizations that may be doing what we

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>think the State Bar of Texas is doing, and hopefully

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to the bottom this and we'll certainly going

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>to try to stop the ones we know about, which, again,

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 1>the State Bar of Texas is shocking, but even they should,

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>of all organizations, be uh following the rule of law,

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>and yet they may be the worst offenders. Well, it

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 1>seems like the rule of law has been you know,

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>thrown out ever since Trump. Right, there's just this mentality

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 1>now that all is fair and you know, trying to

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>destroy Republicans and Trump and let's just throw everything, uh,

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, out the out the door. Nothing matters anymore

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the things that we us to hold

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 1>deer as a country. No, I think that started actually

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>under the Obama administration. You know, he he didn't have

0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>control of Congress after two years because the American public

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>throughout the Democrats, because some of the terrible legislation that

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 1>was being passed. And so I think Obama made the

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 1>choice that he was going to start making his own

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>laws through agencies, through effective action, and he taught the

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>rest of the country, hey, this is an appropriate way

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to forget the Constitution. I'm not who cares about that.

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>It was written about guys term fty years ago. Let's

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 1>just do what we want to do, whether we're at

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 1>state level, whether we're at city level. We'll just start

0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.360
<v Speaker 1>making our own laws. That's what d a s are

0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 1>doing across the country. They're not enforcing state law. They're saying, hey,

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 1>we're just we just don't do that stuff now. And

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 1>that's what President Biden is doing. He's he's stepped ab up.

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 1>He's doing that on steroids. And it's really unfortunate because

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 1>it's totally moving away from the constitutional form of government

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>that was that empowers the people instead of individuals like

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden. But I think that's probably the intent. You know,

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 1>they want the control. They don't want us to have power,

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's I feel like that's sort of just

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>the objective of the left period is everything they do

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 1>is to erode individual liberty and empower, you know, the elite,

0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the regime, the people in charge, which is sad because

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>that's the contradictory to what the antithesis of what we're

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.320
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be as a constitutional republic. Well, the founders

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 1>were fearful of this very thing. They were fearful of of,

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, big government. They tried to that's why they

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.400
<v Speaker 1>separated powers. And that's why it's so important that these

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 1>lawsuits against the Biden administration are successful because if if

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>if we do not keep separation of powers, then we

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 1>end up putting too much power in the hands of

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the president and he's honestly, it's no different than living

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>in you know, Benzezuela or China, Russia, you know, Germany

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 1>in the thirties. What's the difference That you have a

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 1>few people making decisions for all of us, who supposed

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 1>they are smarter than us, who basically condemn people that

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 1>disagree with them and try to make them out to

0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.720
<v Speaker 1>be bad people, are stupid people. Well that's sort of that.

0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>You can see that with the Biden administration. Almost every

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Day telling us that certain types of Republicans are bad

0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 1>people and that they're they're they're not worthy of being protected,

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.360
<v Speaker 1>they're not worthy of constitutional protections, and they should all

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.159
<v Speaker 1>be you know, silenced, and they're working with big corporations

0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and big tech to do that. Well, I got hit

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.160
<v Speaker 1>by the left by saying that, you know, the people

0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 1>criticizing tried on there's zero COVID policy, which they should

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.479
<v Speaker 1>be criticized, but like we really weren't that much different,

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and if it wasn't for guns and for some of

0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the checks and balances we have, we very well, that's

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.199
<v Speaker 1>the direction the left wanted to take us. You know,

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to ask you real quick before we go. Uh,

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.480
<v Speaker 1>obviously we're learning a lot with the collusion between government

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and big tech, both with Missouri versus Biden. Then also

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the Twitter files as well as some recently reports by

0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>publications like the Intercept. What is Texas doing to stand

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 1>up against big tech and to try to fight this

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>collusion and really what seems to be a violation of

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the First Amendment. Yeah, it's not just the First Amenments,

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 1>also the second. So we've got we've got investigations, we've

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.359
<v Speaker 1>got lawsuits, against Google. We've got three or four losses

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 1>against Google. We've got a lawsuitains Facebook, we have a

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit against Twitter. We have investigations of Federal Express and

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.160
<v Speaker 1>UPS and let me just use those two as an example.

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.480
<v Speaker 1>We it's odd but suddenly the two of them, those

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>two companies are very same time, have policies that that

0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:25.160
<v Speaker 1>require gun manufacturers to disclose to them separately and then

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:29.639
<v Speaker 1>transport separately guns parts and other related items so that

0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 1>they can supposedly keep track of all of this information.

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 1>And who would want that information other than potentially the

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.119
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration, which of course the Biden administration can't do

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.159
<v Speaker 1>that directly. But it's odd that two corporations at the

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.680
<v Speaker 1>same time, the first time in their history, suddenly want

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 1>to know all this information about guns. So the Biden

0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:51.440
<v Speaker 1>administration is I would call it workarounds of the Constitution.

0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:53.920
<v Speaker 1>And they're doing the same thing with our First Amendment

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 1>by working with big tech to to flag people who

0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about issues that the government doesn't like, whether it's

0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:03.439
<v Speaker 1>COVID or whether or whatever the top of the elections,

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 1>whatever the topic is that they don't want more information

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:09.920
<v Speaker 1>out about. Much like China UM, the federal government isn't

0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:11.560
<v Speaker 1>allowed to do that, of course, the United States ender

0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the Constitution, but what they're doing is using big tech

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:18.959
<v Speaker 1>and big corporations to be their stand in, which effectively

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.679
<v Speaker 1>means big government is doing exactly what they do in

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.119
<v Speaker 1>China and what they do in Russia, which is limiting

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>free speech, limiting Second Amendment rights. And so they're going

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:32.040
<v Speaker 1>down the list trying to work around the Constitution to

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 1>eliminate our constitutional rights, and we if we are not vigilant,

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>we will end up indirectly like these other countries where

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>big government is controlling what we say, what we do,

0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and basically eliminating the Bill of Rights. Well, Attorney General

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Kent Paxton, we're grateful for you in your time and

0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.440
<v Speaker 1>also just you keeping up the fight. We need people

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 1>like you in office. So I'm so glad that you

0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 1>were re elected. And please just taking the fight to

0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.639
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration and standing up for reading in America

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:02.919
<v Speaker 1>because it is for sure under attack. Well, thank you

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.320
