1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Center. Nice to be with you in person. 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 2: We were going to have a show that dealt a 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: lot with the border, our lead story, and then unfortunately 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 2: we got this new news coming out of Jordan. What 5 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 2: we have now at time of recording is three US 6 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 2: troops have been killed and twenty five injured in this 7 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 2: drone strike by Iran back militias in Jordan. I want 8 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 2: to get your reaction this because this is not a 9 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 2: new tactic. Depending on what count you look at, this 10 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: is somewhere between one hundred and fifty to one hundred 11 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: and seventy plus attacks on US troops in the Middle 12 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: East being done by these proxy groups of Iran. What 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 2: is America's response to this, What is the Biden administration doing, 14 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 2: and what are we hearing from them? 15 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 3: Well, it is tragic. 16 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 4: On Sunday, three US servicemen and women were murdered, twenty 17 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 4: five were injured in Jordan. It was a drone attack, 18 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 4: funded directed by Iran, and this is a continuation of 19 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 4: a pattern we've seen for three years. Listen, Number one, 20 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 4: our prayers are with the families of those servicemen and 21 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 4: women killed. At this point we don't have the details. 22 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 4: Are our prayers are with all of the troops who 23 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 4: were injured that they recover, But we should also understand 24 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 4: why this happened. Joe Biden's weakness produced this attack. At 25 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 4: this point, Joe Biden's national security failures, his weakness, his appeasement, 26 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 4: is endangering US lives and is causing casualties. We've talked 27 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 4: a lot in this podcast about the thirteen servicemen and 28 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 4: women murdered in Afghanistan, again because of Joe Biden's weakness, 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 4: and understand, as you noted, there have been over one 30 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 4: hundred and seventy attacks by Iranian proxies on US troops. 31 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 4: Iran is waging war on the Administration on America, on 32 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 4: our servicemen and women, and Joe Biden is so utterly 33 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 4: weak he doesn't do a damn thing about It reminds 34 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 4: me back when Bill Clinton was in office the phrase 35 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 4: he fires a missile and hits a camelon butt. That 36 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 4: basically is Joe Biden's approach, and our servicemen and women 37 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 4: will continue to be in harm's way as long as 38 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 4: this man is commander in chief, because not only is 39 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 4: he two weak to respond with force, but even worse 40 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 4: than that, Biden funded this understand, Joe Biden is responsible 41 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 4: for flowing roughly one hundred billion dollars to the Iranian regime, 42 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 4: to the Ayatula, to the Mallahs, that is funding these attacks. 43 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 4: The October seventh attack on Israel, murdered over twelve hundred 44 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 4: Israelis was among the worst terror attacks in the history 45 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 4: of the United States, with the Americans who were murdered. 46 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 4: Joe Biden in a very real sense funded that as well. 47 00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 4: And ironically, look, the left thinks that weakness savoids war. 48 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 4: The left thinks that appeasement is the way to go. 49 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 4: Weakness makes war more likely. Bullies do not respect weakness. 50 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 4: And you contrast this when Donald Trump was president, he 51 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: killed Cassam Solimani, the leader of the Iranian military responsible 52 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 4: for the murder of hundreds of servicemen and women. He 53 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 4: ordered a strike, he took him out, and you saw 54 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 4: Iran behave differently. 55 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: And let's remind people. 56 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: When he did that, the media said that he was 57 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: taking us to War III, to the brink of w 58 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: War three, that it was irresponsible and it was the 59 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: wrong decision. Yet clearly there was a response, as you said, 60 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: from Iran, and the response was a response we should 61 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: begging for right now. 62 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 3: Well, that's right. 63 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 4: They dramatically scaled down their attacks. And remember Trump combined 64 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 4: that with pulling out of the Obama Iran nuclear deal. Yeah, 65 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 4: that was the right decision to make. It was a 66 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 4: decision that I urged Trump emphatically and repeatedly to do. 67 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 4: Both the State Department and Defense Department under Trump argued 68 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 4: to stay in the nuclear deal. They were both wrong, 69 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 4: and Trump agreed with me, overruled his own Secretary of State, 70 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 4: his own Secretary Defense pulled out of that deal. But 71 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 4: not just that, he combined it with vigorously enforcing oil sanctions. 72 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 4: So once we pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, 73 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 4: there was still in place what were called oil waivers. 74 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 4: So we had a waiver that allowed Iran to sell. 75 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 4: At the time, they were selling roughly a million barrels 76 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 4: a day of oil. And I urged the President, once 77 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 4: we pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, Okay, let's 78 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 4: end the oil waivers. Let's cut off their money. And 79 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 4: there was a fight this time between the State Department 80 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 4: and the Department of Energy. The Secretary of State at 81 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 4: the time was Mike Pompeo, and State argued, if you 82 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 4: end the oil waivers. The result will be the price 83 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 4: of oil will skyrocket, the price of gasoline will skyrocket. 84 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 4: You can't do that, the Department of Energy, to its credit. 85 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 4: You would think Energy would know something about energy. They responded, 86 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 4: that's nonsense. There's plenty of global supply of oil. 87 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: Cut it off. 88 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 4: I leaned in aggressively on the side of the Department 89 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 4: of Energy, said, starve the beast, take away the resources 90 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 4: that Iran is using to murder Americans and murder our allies. 91 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 4: Trump agreed with me again, overruled his own State department 92 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 4: ended the oil waiver, and it turns out we now 93 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 4: know Energy was right, State was wrong. It crushed the 94 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 4: Iranian economy and the price of oil barely moved at all, 95 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 4: the price of gasoline barely moved it all, and essentially 96 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 4: no impact because of global supply. But it cratered the 97 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 4: Iranian economy. Joe Biden inherited the Iranian economy on its knees. 98 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 4: We had cut their oil exports to three hundred thousand 99 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 4: barrels a day or less, so it was a massive decrease. 100 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 4: And Joe Biden came in. He flowed ten billion dollars 101 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 4: to Iran. He flowed six billion dollars to Iran, and 102 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 4: he stopped enforcing the oil sanctions that ended up flowing 103 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 4: eighty billion dollars to Iran. Today, Iran is selling two 104 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 4: million barrels a day of oil. These rockets, these drone 105 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 4: attacks that just killed three servicemen and women, Joe Biden, 106 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 4: in a very real sense funded them. Because when you 107 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 4: send one hundred billion dollars to a theocratic lunatic who 108 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 4: screams death to America and death to Israel, you know 109 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: what happens? They actually follow through on that, And so 110 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 4: this appeasement is dangerous. And you contrast a strong commander 111 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 4: in chief killing General Solimani saying if you go after Americans, 112 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 4: you're gonna die, and what happens the bad guy's back off. 113 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 4: You contrast that to the weakness in the Biden White 114 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 4: House that says, if you threaten Americans, if you threaten Israel, 115 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 4: we're gonna give you hundreds of billions of dollars, and 116 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 4: they get worse. One one hundred and seventy attacks and 117 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 4: more will happen unless Biden is willing to defend US troops. 118 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 4: I have very little faith that he w. 119 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: Two questions on this I want to ask you I 120 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: think are important. 121 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: Number One, there's a lot of people that remember the 122 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: money we were allowing Iran. 123 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: To get their hands on. 124 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: The State Department said in the White House said, oh, well, 125 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: they don't have the money, yet they have to act 126 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: the right way to get the money. Is there any 127 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: indication that that has changed at all and the policy 128 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: has changed it because of all these attacks? And number two, 129 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: I don't think people understand exactly when we talk about 130 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: these proxy groups, these terrorist organizations, that they funnel money 131 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: to funnel drones, to funnel bombs, to roadside bombs, whatever 132 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: it may be. Explain why Iran does that and how 133 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: and how many people they're working within the Middle East. 134 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 4: So Iran is the world's largest state sponsored supporter of 135 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 4: terrorism in the world. Hamas and Hesbal Hamas launched the 136 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 4: October seventh attack. What percent of Hamas's budget do you 137 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 4: think Iran funds. 138 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: I would guess seventy eighty percent. 139 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 4: It's about ninety wow, about ninety percent of the budget 140 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 4: comes directly from Aroun. We have reporting in the Wall 141 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 4: Street Journal that says about five hundred to the Hamas 142 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 4: terrorists who carried out out the October seventh attack, traveled 143 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 4: to Iran and trained in Iran to be ready for 144 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 4: that attack. Hesbola, how much of hesbaa do you think Iran? 145 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: I would bet at least about ninety. 146 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: Percent as well. 147 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 4: Iran funds terrorists in the Middle East, They flunt fund 148 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 4: terrorists in South America and Central America. They are hesbel 149 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 4: as terrorists in Central and South America that Iran is funding. 150 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 4: The Iatola. You have to understand. He's a theocratic, genocidal maniac. 151 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 4: He refers to Israel as the Little Satan. He refers 152 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 4: to America as the Great Satan. Understand if the Iotola could, 153 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 4: he would murder both of us in an instance, if 154 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 4: the Iatola could, he would murder every American in New 155 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 4: York City. He would murder every American in Los Angeles, 156 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 4: every America in Washington, DC. You know the former head 157 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 4: of the Iranian nuclear program, a scientist who former head. 158 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: By the way, I want to make sure we say 159 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 2: that again. Somebody pays attention to what you're about to tell, 160 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: because I know where you're going with. 161 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 4: It, and former is important. He is gone to meet 162 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 4: his maker to see if they're seventy two virgins waiting 163 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 4: for him or not. Many say at the hand of 164 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 4: the Macade, at the hand of the Israelis. That's not confirmed, 165 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 4: but that is widely speculated that the Israelis helped him 166 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 4: on his way. He had written in his last will 167 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 4: and testament that he wanted the following words written on 168 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 4: his tombstone. Here lies a man who sought the annihilation 169 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 4: of Israel. I think for a second, Ben, how much hate, 170 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 4: how much racism, how much anti Semitism, how much venom 171 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 4: do you have to be filled with that you literally 172 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 4: want your tombstone. The only thing that you want to 173 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 4: be remembered for is I hate Jews. That was the 174 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 4: head of Iran's nuclear program. That is the theocratic governance 175 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 4: of this Iranian regime. And explain to me why Joe 176 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 4: Biden keeps sending them billions of dollars to this day. 177 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 4: We're sitting here today, we have Iran murdering three US 178 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 4: servicemen and women, and Joe Biden continues to allow him 179 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,119 Speaker 4: to sell two million barrels of oil a day. Tomorrow, 180 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 4: presumably Joe Biden's going to allow him to sell two 181 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 4: million barrels of oil a day because weakness is so 182 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 4: intertwined with the Biden foreign policy. 183 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 3: Not just weakness. 184 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 4: They have this bizarre policy. I do not understand it. 185 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 4: Enemies of America they give money to and they give 186 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 4: them everything they want. Friends of America they abandoned, they undermined. 187 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 4: By the way, simultaneously, the news is breaking this weekend 188 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 4: that the Biden administration is talking about cutting off military 189 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 4: weapons to Israel, so billions of dollars to Iran to 190 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 4: murder Americans. While simultaneously the Biden White House is saying, 191 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 4: let's cut off weapons to Israel because they're killing terrorists 192 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 4: who have murdered Americans and want to murder Americans. It 193 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 4: is exactly backwards. 194 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 3: It makes no sense. 195 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 2: Last question on this, there's a lot of people ask, Okay, well, 196 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: then what would the response or what should a response 197 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 2: be from the President of United States of America. So 198 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: a lot of talking heads over the weekend that we're saying, well, 199 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 2: they're just trying to bring us into a war, and 200 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 2: if if Joe Biden responds with a heavy hand and 201 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: goes after and attacks targets in Iran, we're getting into 202 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: World War III. And that's exactly what they want. What 203 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 2: is a responsible response to this from this president. 204 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: What is it that he should do? 205 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 4: Number one, cut off the money, dramatically, enforce the oil sanctions, 206 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 4: starve the beast. I've introduced legislation that would do that. 207 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 4: There's an entire fleet of ghost tankers that takes the 208 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 4: Iranian oil to China. By the way, China's buying it. 209 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 4: Communist China is loving this. China is funding Iran. They 210 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 4: love that Iran is distracting America from China's malevolence. So 211 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 4: cut off the oil number one. Number two, cut off 212 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 4: the funds. Number three cut off the funding for Hamas, 213 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 4: cut off the funding for Gazak, cut off the funding 214 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: for Iranian proxies. 215 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 3: Number four cut off the funding for unrun. 216 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 4: Our next show, we're going to talk about UNRUD, the 217 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 4: UN agency that is filled with Hamas terrorists that news 218 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 4: broke this weekend. Also we're going to go in depth 219 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 4: in a later podcast this week about that. But stop 220 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 4: funding people who hate us. Number one and number two. 221 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 4: If you kill US military or US civilians, pound the 222 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 4: living crap out of them, respond like Donald Trump did. Now, 223 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 4: not invade Iran. I'm not saying send the Marines. I'm 224 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 4: saying you didn't know it's not worth it. Let them 225 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 4: know that the cost will be significantly greater than the benefit. 226 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 4: What Joe Biden has showed them is there is no cost, 227 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 4: that his ideology in politics is so important he will 228 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 4: allow Americans to be killed and will not respond that 229 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 4: weakness makes it more likely more Americans will be killed. 230 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 2: I want to tell you about our good friends over 231 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 2: at Patriot Mobile. For more than a decade now, Patriot 232 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 2: Mobile has been the only Christian conservative cell phone provider 233 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: in the nation. And I love looking at my cell 234 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 2: phone now because every time I look down the top left, 235 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 2: it says Patriot And I know that when I'm using 236 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 2: my phone and when I pay my bill, I am 237 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 2: working with a company that stands with my values. Now, 238 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, everybody has different New Year's resolutions. 239 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 2: Mine was to stop giving my money to countries that 240 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 2: literally hate my family values, hate what I stand for, 241 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: and that is Big Mobile. You may not realize that 242 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: Big Mobile gets big donations to Democrat causes candidates, including 243 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 2: Planned Parent.

I want to move to what 267 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 2: was supposed to be our big story and that was 268 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: the border. There is a clear war between Texas and 269 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: the Biden administration. That war was declared by the Biden administration. 270 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: To be very clear on Texas. There's a war now 271 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: the issue of state's rights. There's a war of what 272 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: the Constitution says, and there's a ton of misinformation out there. 273 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 2: I want you to explain so people understand, does the 274 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: state of Texas, in any state have the right to 275 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: protect and defend itself if it's being literally invaded that's 276 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: what's happening in Texas. What does the Constitution say about this? 277 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of people that have been arguing 278 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: over it. I want to know, does the state of 279 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: Texas have the right to defend itself if the federal 280 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 2: government especially is not doing their job, and their job 281 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 2: is to protect the border, right not just the border 282 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: for Texas but every state in the country, and they're 283 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: not doing that right now. 284 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: So when you look at this war, who's that's right 285 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: and who's wrong? And what is this? What do our 286 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: founders think about this? 287 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 4: Well, the text of the Constitution and in particularly the 288 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 4: constitutional provision that is being discussed as Article one, Section ten, 289 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 4: clause three, and what it says is quote, no state shall, 290 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 4: without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, 291 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 4: keep troops or ships of war in time of peace, 292 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 4: enter into any agreement or compact with another state or 293 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 4: with a foreign power. 294 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 3: And this is where the critical language is. 295 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 4: Or engage in war unless actually invaded or in such 296 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 4: imminent danger as will not admit of delay. So the 297 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 4: question the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, my good friend, 298 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 4: has declared an actual invasion, invoke the authority of Article one, 299 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 4: section ten. Article one, section ten is a prohibition on 300 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 4: the state. It says, let me omit the kind of 301 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 4: language of the middle. It says, no states shall engage 302 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 4: in war unless actually invaded or in such imminent danger 303 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 4: as will not admit of delay. So under that constitutional provision, 304 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 4: it suggests the state would have the authority to quote 305 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 4: engage in war if actually invaded. Now you asked, what's 306 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 4: the law. The truth of the matter is this is 307 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 4: an open question constitutionally. We saw a number years back 308 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 4: when the state of Arizona passed legislation trying to limit 309 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 4: illegal immigration, and during the Obama administration, the Department of 310 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 4: Justice sued Arizona. It went all the way to the 311 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 4: Supreme Court. There was a case Arizona versus United States, 312 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 4: and unfortunately, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the 313 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 4: Obama administration. It was a decision that got strong descents. 314 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 4: Got a strong descent from Justice Scalia, a strong descent 315 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 4: from Justice Thomas, a strong descent from Justice Alito. Now, 316 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 4: the Supreme Court composition has changed since then, and frankly, 317 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 4: the facts on the ground have changed since then. Listen, 318 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 4: illegal immigration was a problem under Barack Obama, was a 319 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 4: serious problem under Barack Obama. But I got to say, 320 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 4: compared to now, it's not and day the Obama immigration 321 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 4: problems seem quaint that they are minuscule compared to what 322 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 4: is happening now the order of magnitude. I've joked multiple 323 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 4: times that that that Joe Biden has done something I 324 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 4: thought was impossible. He's made me miss Barack Obama. 325 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, because who would have thought Ted Cruz would ever 326 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: say that. 327 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 4: It is look on immigration. One of the astonishing things 328 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 4: about Obama is he, by and large fall the law. 329 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 4: He didn't on DACA. But DACA was one unique subset 330 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 4: of individuals, and it was a relatively limited subset. But 331 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 4: for people crossing illegally into the country. Barack Obama deported 332 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 4: millions of people. If you remember, during the Obama administration, 333 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 4: the left got very mad. They called him the deporter 334 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 4: in chief, and that made a difference. What has happened 335 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 4: here under Joe Biden. And we've never seen a president 336 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 4: do this, And over two hundred years of our nation's history, 337 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 4: there's never been a president that utterly and completely defies 338 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 4: US law and lets people go by massive numbers. So, 339 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 4: for example, there's an authority under under federal immigration law 340 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 4: called parole authority, which is you can release people in 341 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 4: limited and special circumstances. Under Obama he would parole roughly 342 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 4: five thousand illegal immigrants a year. Under Trump, it was 343 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 4: a comparable number, so it took they were extraordinary circumstances. 344 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 4: You know how much Biden is doing about eight hundred 345 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 4: thousand a year. Wow, he took Obama's five thousand a 346 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 4: year and he blew it up to eight hundred thousand. 347 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 4: They've made a decision, we are going to allow an invasion. Now, 348 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 4: what is Texas doing. They're laying constantina wire. They're laying 349 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 4: basically really jagged razor wire all along the border. And 350 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 4: in fact, here let's look at some of the video 351 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 4: of what they're laying and also understand the Biden administration 352 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 4: is actively suing them, is actively attacking them, is trying 353 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 4: to tear down the border, the wire, to let cartels 354 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 4: in and to let the invasion occur. Take a look 355 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 4: at the governor of Texas talking about this, well, first. 356 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 5: I'll be shocked. That would be a boneheaded move on 357 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 5: his part, a total disaster for one. As you might imagine, 358 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 5: we are prepared in the event that that unlikely event 359 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 5: does occur to make sure that we will be able 360 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 5: to continue exactly what we've been doing over the past months, 361 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 5: and that is building these barriers, whether it be the 362 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 5: constantin or wire or other at that clime, border barriers, 363 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 5: whatever we've been building. The Bido administration is now trying 364 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 5: to attack us because of it, and we will continue 365 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 5: to do exactly what we're doing to expand our denial 366 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 5: of illegal entry into the state of Texas. 367 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 2: You listen to the governor there, and I had an 368 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 2: interesting debate this week with a liberal on TV who said. 369 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: Texas is totally wrong. They're out of line. 370 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 2: They cannot say that they're being invaded because to say 371 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 2: you're invaded, they have to wear a uniform of an 372 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 2: official country that's invading you, aka military. 373 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 4: Would that stand under that argument, Hamas could invade. Understand 374 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 4: how idiotic that argument is. You could have a million 375 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 4: Hamas terrorists cross over the border and start blowing people up. 376 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 4: They could wage October seventh that these imbeciles would say, no, 377 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 4: it's not an invasion because they're not a country. 378 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: And they're not wearing a uniform of that country. 379 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 4: Like that theory October seventh in Israel was not an invasion. 380 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 4: Like that's idiotic on its face. And by the way, 381 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 4: I fully expect. So where does this case stand? So 382 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 4: Texas has laid the wire along the border, particularly an 383 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 4: eagle pass miles of it. The Biden administration wants to 384 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 4: tear it down. Texas filed a lawsuit against the Biden 385 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 4: administration saying you can't tear it down. What happened is 386 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 4: the Biden administration one in Federal District court. Texas appealed 387 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 4: to the Fifth Circuit, the Federal Court of Appeals. Texas 388 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 4: won in the Fifth Circuit and what they got was 389 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 4: an injunction, which is an order from the Fifth Circuit 390 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 4: against the federal government tearing down the concertine or wire. 391 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 4: The United States appealed that injunction to the Supreme Court, 392 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 4: and unfortunately, the Supreme Court five to four ruled in 393 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 4: favor of the Biden administration. 394 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 3: So where does it stand? Where it stands right now? 395 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 2: In that ruling, I want to be queer because we've 396 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 2: talked about this in the previous pot and I want 397 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 2: to make sure everybody that's watching this understands this. It 398 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 2: was five to four, but it didn't say you had 399 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 2: to take down the razorwar either. 400 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: Explain that for beer. That man missed that. 401 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 4: So it's important to understand Number One. A ton of Democrats, 402 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 4: a ton of reporters, a ton of leftists are saying 403 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 4: Texas is defying the Supreme Court is defying a Supreme 404 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 4: Court order. 405 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 3: That is a lie. 406 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 4: There is no order that impacts Texas in any way, 407 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 4: shape or form concerning this. This was a lawsuit by 408 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 4: Texas against the United States. There had been an order 409 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 4: against the Biden administration. The Supreme Court took away the 410 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 4: order against the Biden administration. So where things stand right now? 411 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 4: If Joe Biden orders the federal government to go tear 412 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 4: down the wire. The federal government will not be violating 413 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 4: an injunction. Now, the Court didn't say the federal government 414 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 4: has to tear down the wire. Court didn't say the 415 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 4: federal government should tear down the wire. The Court also 416 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 4: didn't say that Texas couldn't lay more wire. 417 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, what they're doing right. 418 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 4: There's no order against Texas, and injunctions are, by their 419 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 4: nature temporary and emergency proceedings. The Fifth Circuit has scheduled 420 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 4: the oral argument in this case on the merits of 421 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 4: the case. 422 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 3: On February eighth. 423 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 4: February eighth, interestingly, is the same day the Supreme Court 424 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 4: has scheduled the oral argument in the Colorado case. 425 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, with Donald Trump. 426 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 4: With Donald Trump, So February eighth is going to be 427 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 4: a big oral argument day. Whatever happens in the Fifth Circuit, 428 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 4: that case is extremely likely to go back to the 429 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 4: Supreme Court, and I think the Supreme Court is likely 430 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 4: to take it and decide the issue on the merits, 431 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 4: and that'll be decided in the next couple of months. 432 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 4: I think the Fifth Circuit is likely to decide quickly, 433 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 4: and I expect a rapid appeal to the Supreme Court 434 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 4: and understand the five to four decision from the Supreme 435 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 4: Court on the injunction. It was the three liberals plus 436 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 4: John Roberts and Amy Cony Barrett. Now nobody wrote it opinion, 437 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 4: so we don't know their reasoning. 438 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 3: By the way, is. 439 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 2: That interesting to you? Would you have expected opinion saying 440 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: this saying this big? 441 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 6: Or was it? 442 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: It was such a quick thing to say, Hey, we're 443 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,239 Speaker 2: going to go back to the fifth and let them 444 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: do their oral arguments. 445 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: That's all we're saying about this. 446 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 2: Hence the fact they didn't say to Texas, you've got 447 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 2: to take down the raised wire and you can't lay 448 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: more of it. 449 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 3: So look it. 450 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 4: It is not shocking. Emergency appeals often they don't write. 451 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 4: They don't always write opinions. They're decided on quick emergency appeals. 452 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 4: The underlying merits are still being litigated. By the way, 453 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 4: there are also jurisdictional questions that are being debated in 454 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 4: the case that are fairly arcane and legal, but they 455 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 4: deal with whether the United States has waived sovereign immunity, 456 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 4: in other words, whether Texas can sue the United States 457 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 4: in federal court for an injunction. And those are technical 458 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 4: legal questions that I don't know that we need to 459 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 4: get into the details in this podcast, But they have 460 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 4: nothing to do with whether the Biden administration can tear 461 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 4: down the wire. They simply question whether Texas is able 462 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 4: to sue the Biden administration in federal court. 463 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 3: So there's a big dispute. 464 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 4: A lot of the briefing, a lot of the argument 465 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 4: focused on that jurisdictional question, which has nothing to do 466 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 4: with the merits. So we don't know what John Roberts's 467 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 4: reasoning was, we don't know what amy Cony Barrett's reasoning was. 468 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 4: To be fair, we don't know what any of the 469 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 4: nine justices because they didn't write. I will say this, 470 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 4: John Roberts and federal judges generally, particularly ones that are 471 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 4: in DC, that are on the Supreme Court, they tend 472 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 4: to be creatures of Washington. They tend to have a 473 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 4: general predilection that they side with the Feds against the States. 474 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 4: Let's actually have some analysis from Jonathan Turley, as a 475 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 4: constitutional law professor, someone I know and respect. 476 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 3: Here's what Professor Turley had to say. 477 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 6: Well, I certainly agree with the governor that this is 478 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 6: a violation of the understanding between the federal government and 479 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 6: the dates. The language in Article one, Section ten really 480 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 6: deals with that agreement that we gave made with the 481 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 6: states in the federal government to move from the Articles 482 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 6: of Confederation to a constitutional system with a strong federal government. 483 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 6: I don't think anyone can honestly look at the southern 484 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 6: border and say that the federal government has fulfilled its pledge. 485 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 6: This is no precedented crisis brought about, I believe by 486 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 6: President Biden's policies. So on all that, I agree, the 487 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 6: problem is that federal courts are unlikely to agree that 488 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 6: this is the invasion referenced in the Constitution. There's also 489 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 6: a reference to imminent danger, and certainly looking at hundreds 490 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 6: of thousands of people crossing an effectively open border presents 491 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 6: an imminent danger. But the courts are likely to define 492 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 6: that in the context of that provision, in the context 493 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 6: of an invasion, as with a foreign state. So I 494 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 6: think Texas is going to have a hard time making 495 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 6: that constitutional argument in court. 496 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 2: I have to ask themou the eminent danger parts, specifically 497 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: the fact that we know that people on the terrorists 498 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: watch lists have been coming across the open southern border. 499 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 2: We had more that were caught last year that were 500 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 2: on that terrorist watch list in the last five years 501 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 2: before that combined, there's no reasonably that number is not 502 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 2: going to be up even higher this year based on 503 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 2: the number that are coming across the border. Is that 504 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 2: one of the arguments that Texas would make obviously right away. 505 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 4: Absolutely, So take a look at this tweet from Fox News. 506 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 4: So this is from Bill Malujin, who is the best 507 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 4: reporter on the border across the country. And by the way, 508 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 4: every other fake news entity ought to ask, why don't 509 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 4: they have a Bill mallusion. Why don't they have someone 510 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 4: reporting on the facts? Because he reports on it. There's 511 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 4: no one to see it that does this. No one 512 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 4: at MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Washington Post, New York Times, 513 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 4: not a one of them has a Bill Mallusion. He's 514 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 4: doing heroic work. Here's what Bill Mallusion reports breaking in 515 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 4: a Friday news dump. By the way, that's what the 516 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 4: Biden administration does. It dumps all of it's bad news 517 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 4: on Friday in a Friday news dump. CBP officially reports 518 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 4: three hundred and two thousand and thirty four migrant encounters 519 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 4: in December, the highest month ever. 520 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: Recorded, and traditionally, December is not your highest month of 521 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 2: the year, has not been, but people are rushing the 522 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 2: border because they realize, go it's open, hurry up. 523 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 4: CBP also reports Border Patrol arrested nineteen people on the 524 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 4: FBI terror watch list in December in one month, bringing 525 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 4: the total to fifty arrests for fiscal year twenty twenty four, 526 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 4: which started in October. 527 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 3: So far the nineteen. 528 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: When you see that centater, you get briefings on different 529 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 2: things in now security. That is an alarming number that 530 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 2: we caught because right that doesn't count the ones, the godaways, 531 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 2: and we had record godaways in December as well. 532 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 4: So understand under Trump, the number of people on the 533 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 4: terror watch list apprehended in an entire year, we're in 534 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 4: the single digits. They were like zero two in an 535 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 4: entire year. We're up to fifty and three months. 536 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,959 Speaker 1: And nineteen in the month of December alone. 537 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 4: Yes, so the month of December is more than any 538 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 4: single year under Donald Trump. 539 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 3: It may be more. I don't have the. 540 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 4: Totals in front of it. Maybe more than all four 541 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 4: years of Donald Trump. 542 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 3: It probably is. 543 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 4: This is an order of magnitude, So I will say 544 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 4: when the case is at the Fifth Circuit. When it 545 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 4: gets to the Supreme Court, the argument is going to 546 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 4: have to be that what is happening at the border 547 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 4: right now is qualitatively different than just ordinary illegal immigration. 548 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 4: It's not that the federal government is doing a bad job, 549 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 4: doing a negligent job is ineffective. Any case like that 550 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 4: would be likely to fail. It is in this instance 551 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 4: the Biden administration is actively complicit in an invasion of 552 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 4: ten million people into this country. 553 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 3: Ten million. 554 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 4: That is a staggering number, including at a time the 555 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 4: border patrol is telling they're extremely worried about Hamas and 556 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 4: hesbela terrorist coming in to carry out a terror act. 557 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 2: And not just that, they warned of an attack that 558 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 2: could very much resemble what happens against Israeli people. Yes, 559 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 2: so they're not just saying it's like alone wolf style attack. 560 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 2: They're saying and orchestrated, a well planned, well orchestrated attack 561 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 2: in the United States of America that could very much 562 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 2: mimic what we just witnessed and saw in Israel. 563 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 4: And understand that Joe Biden, by the way, just about 564 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 4: every Washington Democrat are on the side of the human traffickers, 565 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 4: are on the side of the terrorists coming in that 566 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 4: this suit. So look, they are aspects of this lawsuit. 567 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 4: The Biden administration frames it as Texas is preventing the 568 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 4: ability of border patrol agents to access the border. There's 569 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 4: a federal statute that says that agents can't access the border. 570 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 4: And I will say, if the questioned is framed, can 571 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 4: Texas officials physically stop, block, arrest a federal official from 572 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 4: going to the border? Texas will lose that question. Can 573 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 4: you forcibly stop a border patrol agent from accessing the border? 574 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 3: I think the answer to that would be no. 575 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: So the next question is going to ask is this then, 576 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: can Texas stop a Customs and Border Patrol agent who's 577 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: cutting down the bob wire and allowing people to come 578 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: into the country illegally? 579 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 4: Well, and understand, it's not that the border patrol agent. 580 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 4: The statute saying to access the border is written in 581 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 4: the context of apprehending illegal immigrants. The Biden administration doesn't 582 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 4: want apprehending illegal immigrants. They want illegal immigrants to come in. 583 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: When they cut it. They're asking for them to come. 584 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 4: In and understand, it's not cutting it. The Biden administration 585 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 4: wants to destroy miles of wire. So state of Texas 586 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 4: has spent billions of dollars securing the border because the 587 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 4: federal government won't do so. The State of Texas has 588 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 4: built border wall. Imagine if the Biden administration was coming 589 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 4: in with dynamite and blowing up the walls that Texas 590 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 4: is built. Look, Texas. The reason Texas sued the United 591 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 4: States is they said, you don't have a right to 592 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 4: destroy our property. Imagine the federal government showed up and 593 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 4: started blowing up state buildings. Yeah, I mean under the 594 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 4: federal government's argument, they're like, we can destroyed whatever we want, 595 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 4: where the Feds and Texas is saying, no, you can't. 596 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 3: There is a limit on your ability. 597 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 4: The State of Texas has constructed this, and it's one 598 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,719 Speaker 4: thing if a border patrol agent says, hey, I need 599 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 4: to get to that river. I think if it were 600 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 4: framed that narrowly, the federal courts are going to side 601 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 4: with the ability of the federal government to get to 602 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 4: the border. But this is the question of does the 603 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 4: federal government have the authority to just destroy. 604 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 3: Miles and miles. 605 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 4: Of wire barrier put up by the State of Texas 606 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 4: in order to stop an invasion, and I think that's 607 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 4: a very different question. I hope when it gets to 608 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 4: the merits that the Supreme Court resolves it differently. Now, 609 00:33:54,920 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 4: there are also really untested questions of constitutional law. There 610 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 4: are potentials of direct confrontation between state officials and federal 611 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 4: officials that could get really messy. There's also a dynamic 612 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 4: that Biden is getting so extreme he's facing what is 613 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 4: potentially a revolt within the federal government. 614 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 2: By the way, the word they use this week on 615 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 2: TV was insurrection, and Griff Jenkins Fox News put out 616 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 2: this tweet talking about what you were just mentioning, take 617 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 2: a look at this, guys, because this is a very 618 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 2: interesting scenario. 619 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: Here. 620 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 2: It says a senior CBP official tells Fox the relationship 621 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 2: between Border Patrol, Texas DPS and the TMD remains strong. 622 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: Bottom line, Border Patrol has no plans to remove infrastructure 623 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,280 Speaker 2: see wire placed by Texas along the border. Our posture 624 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 2: remains the same. So there were people on TV saying, 625 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 2: if this is true, this is like an insurrection. 626 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: I think that's absurd. 627 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,720 Speaker 2: But if you have federal government officials that aren't listening 628 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 2: to the quote orders of the Biden administration and saying 629 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 2: we're not going to do this. 630 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: What does that mean? 631 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 4: Well, look, and mind you, the same people who are 632 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 4: saying this are the democrats elected democrats and the lefties 633 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 4: in the press who praised, for example, people in the 634 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 4: military under Trump who they said, well, they won't follow 635 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 4: his orders, they will resist his orders. Mind you, in 636 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 4: this instance, Look, I know the border patrol agents, many 637 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 4: of them very very well. I spent a lot of 638 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 4: time with him. They are horrified at what Joe Biden 639 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 4: is doing. They're watching the body bags, the death, the suffering, 640 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 4: the children who were assaulted, the women who were raped. 641 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 4: They're seeing it on a daily basis. And it is Look, 642 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 4: at some level, if you have a president who is 643 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 4: so utterly out of touch that he wages war on 644 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 4: the law, that he's defying the law, that he is 645 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 4: instructing him go destroy go use my example, go bomb, 646 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,720 Speaker 4: go bomb the walls, you would expect some federal officials 647 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 4: to say, hold on, you have no legal authority to 648 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 4: do this. This is just an abuse of power. And look, 649 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 4: our sisters, we are pushing to the edges of a 650 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 4: constitutional crisis because we have a president who is so 651 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 4: utterly lawless that he puts his partisan political agenda above 652 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 4: the rule of law, above federal immigration law, above the Constitution, 653 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 4: above people's welfare, above protecting the lives of Texans, and 654 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 4: it is all politics, all the time with the Biden 655 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 4: White House. 656 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 2: It's a new year, twenty twenty four, and a lot 657 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,479 Speaker 2: of you are trying to get your finances in order. 658 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 2: There are some great news for homeowners.

And Joe Biden is trying to say to 686 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 4: the states, I don't care. I want your state to 687 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,240 Speaker 4: be invaded. I want the law to be ignored because 688 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 4: my partisan politics matter more than your obligation to protect 689 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 4: the safety of your citizens. 690 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 2: So explain that the rules. And this is I think 691 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 2: a very important point because it's going to come up. Obviously, 692 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 2: you have some states are sitting, for example, state troopers 693 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 2: to the state. Who is that under state authority? Is 694 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 2: that federal if you're clashing, right if you're temperate. And 695 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 2: then and then the second part is the National Guard 696 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,280 Speaker 2: can work in two different scenarios, one for the governor 697 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, the federal government can 698 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 2: come in. And that's been a big fight over the 699 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 2: last several days of what if he nationalizes the federal 700 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 2: you know these guardsmen, how does that play out? And 701 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 2: explain how it works. If there's two different people that 702 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 2: are your boss, who do you decide with? 703 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 4: So ordinarily, the National Guard is under the direction. 704 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 2: Of the governors, and the National Guard of each state 705 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 2: is under that governor of that state. 706 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 4: Now, under federal law, the president has the authority to 707 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 4: call up to nationalize the national Guard and put it 708 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 4: under the direction of the federal government. And a bunch 709 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 4: of folks on the left are demanding that Biden do 710 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 4: that in Texas. 711 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 3: I don't think he will that. 712 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 4: The clip we played of Greg Abbott, what he was 713 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 4: responding to, was the claim what happens if he tries 714 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 4: to nationalize the Guard? I don't think Biden will do 715 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 4: that because it has a risk of backfiring. 716 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 3: If he did. 717 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 4: I'm not sure what will happen, But what he cannot 718 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:35,320 Speaker 4: nationalize is DPS troopers. He cannot nationalize the state law enforcement. 719 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 2: And so even example is Florida sent a lot of 720 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 2: state troopers right to Texas this past week there was 721 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 2: a caravan coming up. 722 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 4: He could have no control over them, none whatsoever. The 723 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,839 Speaker 4: federal government does not have the ability to nationalize state 724 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 4: law enforcement. So conceivably Biden could try to nationalize the 725 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,400 Speaker 4: National Guard. And at that point, assuming the Guard complies 726 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 4: with those orders and they're not challenged in court, they're 727 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 4: not struck down. Assuming the Guard complies with those orders, 728 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 4: it's no different than Biden's sending in the army. It 729 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 4: is federal military, but there are still state officials and 730 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 4: the potential for clashes. Now, do I think you're gonna 731 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 4: see state and federal officials shooting each other? 732 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 3: No? I do think. 733 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 4: Look, you've got crazies on the left that are pushing 734 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 4: you know. Might you see Biden try to order order 735 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 4: federal officials to arrest state officials? 736 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's possible. 737 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 4: And we are starting to get into very uncharted territory. 738 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 2: Who could be arrest in that scenario is that the 739 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 2: governor on down, the governor, the attorney are you talking 740 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 2: about like a guy at the border. He's saying, I'm 741 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 2: not going to take down that razor wire, and they say, okay, 742 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 2: arrest him or who's laying razor wire. 743 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 4: For example, And I don't think that's gonna happen. But 744 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 4: Joe Biden is listening to the radicals, the extreme in 745 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 4: his party, and he keeps escalating and escalating and escalating, 746 00:40:54,719 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 4: and it's dangerous. Just like Joe Biden is endangering america 747 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 4: lives abroad, and we saw three servicemen and women murdered 748 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 4: this weekend by Iranian proxies because of Joe Biden's lawlessness 749 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 4: at and support of genocidal killers. At the same time, 750 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,759 Speaker 4: Joe Biden is endangering Americans here because of his lawlessness 751 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 4: and support for homicidal killers that are human traffickers and 752 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,760 Speaker 4: drug traffickers. In both instances, it is because this Biden 753 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,799 Speaker 4: White House puts politics above the safety and security of Americans. 754 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 4: And the question every Democrat is going to have to answer, 755 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 4: every Democrat senator, every Democrat House member, do you stand 756 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 4: with the lawlessness and the extreme agenda of the Biden 757 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 4: White House, or do you stand with the safety of 758 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,399 Speaker 4: the American people and at least to date, just about 759 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,240 Speaker 4: every elected Democrat in the country puts politics above safety, 760 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 4: and that's what makes where we are right now so 761 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 4: extreme and so dangerous. 762 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 2: You just said two words, so extreme and so dangerous. 763 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 2: I do want to remind people. Wasn't this administration that 764 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 2: said that the adults are finally back in charge, so 765 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 2: we will have none of these issues. I just want 766 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 2: to remind everybody, this is what they said about their 767 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 2: own team has. 768 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 6: Any connection to reality about what is going on around them. 769 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 2: Should have watched that and said the adults are back 770 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 2: in the room. 771 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 4: It seems as though we have a professional adult once 772 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 4: again in the White House who's just simply doing the work. 773 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 5: Really, the theme I would say is the adults are back. 774 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,240 Speaker 6: Still it is a relief to have adults in charge. 775 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 5: Now we have adults in the White House. 776 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: Okay, the adults are back in the room. 777 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 2: There is a sense, I think the world over that 778 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 2: the adults have returned. We have an adult in the 779 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 2: White House now, and it's glorious. If this is what 780 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 2: adulting looks like, I'll take a kid in charge at 781 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 2: this point. 782 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 3: God bless so. 783 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 4: We actually and the irony is every word of that 784 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 4: is a lie number. Well, look, Joe Biden is a 785 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 4: senior citizen, and he may be so adult that he's 786 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 4: not aware of what's happening. But I'll tell you the 787 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 4: agenda has been extreme and dangerous, and you look at 788 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:18,319 Speaker 4: things like the withdrawal from Afghanistan incompetent, naive, ideological. It 789 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 4: is the opposite of adult leadership. Adult leadership focuses on 790 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 4: let's follow the law. Adult leadership focuses on we've got 791 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 4: a task to do. Adult leadership focuses on let's keep 792 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,439 Speaker 4: people safe. Adult leadership focuses on what's an American interest? 793 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 4: Adult leadership focuses on how do we stop bad guys 794 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 4: from hurting us? Everything Joe Biden and the Democrats have 795 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,760 Speaker 4: done is the opposite of adult leadership. It is naive, 796 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 4: it is dangerous, it is extreme, and the country is 797 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 4: a lot less safe as a result. 798 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: Don't forget. We do this show Monday, Wednesday, Fridays. 799 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 2: We do a week in review on Saturdays as well, 800 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 2: And if you're watching this, make sure you subscribe to 801 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 2: the YouTube channel. 802 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: One of these episodes a week on average.
