Tragedy in the state of 4 00:00:23,137 --> 00:00:26,657 Speaker 1: Texas where at least fifty migrants were found dead inside 5 00:00:26,697 --> 00:00:28,897 Speaker 1: and abandoned eighteen wheeler on the side of the road 6 00:00:28,937 --> 00:00:32,977 Speaker 1: in San Antonio, Texas. Number of them were children. Three 7 00:00:32,977 --> 00:00:35,457 Speaker 1: people have been arrested in the presume smuggling attempts, but 8 00:00:35,497 --> 00:00:38,497 Speaker 1: Texas Governor Greg Abbott wasted no time in placing the 9 00:00:38,577 --> 00:00:42,937 Speaker 1: blame directly on President Biden and his administration's open border policies. 10 00:00:43,137 --> 00:00:45,497 Speaker 1: We'll get into all of us and tonight's holding on 11 00:00:51,937 --> 00:00:54,537 Speaker 1: Welcome to hold the line. I'm Buck Sexton. An open 12 00:00:54,577 --> 00:01:01,497 Speaker 1: border has tragic consequences. We've seen this ongoing for years now. 13 00:01:01,697 --> 00:01:04,097 Speaker 1: When you no longer care about the rule of law 14 00:01:04,137 --> 00:01:08,017 Speaker 1: at the border, who fills that vacuum? The cartels, the 15 00:01:08,177 --> 00:01:13,617 Speaker 1: vicious transnational narcotics gangs that engage in the smuggling of 16 00:01:13,697 --> 00:01:16,697 Speaker 1: drugs that kill tens of thousands of Americans over one 17 00:01:16,737 --> 00:01:21,537 Speaker 1: hundred thousand total overdoses last year alone, and also engage 18 00:01:21,617 --> 00:01:27,057 Speaker 1: in massive human smuggling operations where the safety of migrants 19 00:01:27,177 --> 00:01:31,097 Speaker 1: is not even a concern to these vicious cartels, and 20 00:01:31,217 --> 00:01:34,737 Speaker 1: we see that this results in tragedy like what just 21 00:01:34,897 --> 00:01:38,097 Speaker 1: unfolded over the last twenty four hours. Texas Governor Abbott 22 00:01:38,097 --> 00:01:40,777 Speaker 1: tweeted out at least forty two people. By the way, 23 00:01:40,777 --> 00:01:43,297 Speaker 1: that number has risen to fifty people who have now 24 00:01:43,377 --> 00:01:46,817 Speaker 1: died in total inside a truck carring migrants in Texas. 25 00:01:46,897 --> 00:01:50,777 Speaker 1: These debts are on Biden. They are a result of 26 00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:54,897 Speaker 1: his deadly open border policies. They show the deadly consequences 27 00:01:54,937 --> 00:02:00,817 Speaker 1: of his refusal to enforce the law. Yes, they certainly do. 28 00:02:02,177 --> 00:02:08,417 Speaker 1: Biden administration has done nothing to clamp down on the 29 00:02:08,497 --> 00:02:15,417 Speaker 1: human smuggling, has nothing significant to change the overall incentive 30 00:02:15,617 --> 00:02:19,297 Speaker 1: structure here, both for the cartels to continue their human 31 00:02:19,377 --> 00:02:23,497 Speaker 1: and narcotics trafficking in unprecedented numbers across the southern border, 32 00:02:23,857 --> 00:02:26,817 Speaker 1: but also for the individuals who want to come into 33 00:02:26,897 --> 00:02:32,937 Speaker 1: America illegally to take extreme risks in that process. These 34 00:02:32,977 --> 00:02:36,817 Speaker 1: are individuals who are desperate, they're breaking the law. Their 35 00:02:36,937 --> 00:02:41,417 Speaker 1: safety is not even a consideration for the cartels, and 36 00:02:41,457 --> 00:02:46,097 Speaker 1: that can have tragic consequences that can show that that 37 00:02:46,137 --> 00:02:49,577 Speaker 1: can show up as drownings in the Rio Grande, which 38 00:02:49,617 --> 00:02:52,617 Speaker 1: we have seen people dying out in the desert of 39 00:02:52,737 --> 00:02:56,417 Speaker 1: exposure to the heat or from thirst, which we have seen. 40 00:02:56,777 --> 00:03:03,817 Speaker 1: And now this the largest migration mass casualty event really 41 00:03:03,977 --> 00:03:07,137 Speaker 1: in the history of this country. Now the cartels are, 42 00:03:07,177 --> 00:03:10,257 Speaker 1: of course the entity behind this. The policy of the 43 00:03:10,297 --> 00:03:15,057 Speaker 1: Biden administration make it all easier for those cartels, and 44 00:03:15,097 --> 00:03:18,857 Speaker 1: that's where the political blame should lie. Does lie criminally, 45 00:03:18,857 --> 00:03:20,697 Speaker 1: though of course we have to find out how this 46 00:03:20,857 --> 00:03:25,057 Speaker 1: happened and who was involved. San Antonio's mayor says, there 47 00:03:25,097 --> 00:03:28,337 Speaker 1: are three persons of interest in custody. Watch the people 48 00:03:28,377 --> 00:03:33,217 Speaker 1: that are responsible for subjecting other people to these conditions 49 00:03:33,457 --> 00:03:36,057 Speaker 1: should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 50 00:03:36,737 --> 00:03:40,097 Speaker 1: We do have three persons of interest who are in custody, 51 00:03:40,617 --> 00:03:44,577 Speaker 1: and so you can rest assure that we will cooperate 52 00:03:44,617 --> 00:03:47,337 Speaker 1: in any way necessary to bring justice to those individuals. 53 00:03:49,377 --> 00:03:54,977 Speaker 1: This is yet another sad day for our southern border, 54 00:03:55,017 --> 00:04:01,377 Speaker 1: which has become an area of lawlessness and perpetual violations. 55 00:04:01,417 --> 00:04:05,337 Speaker 1: It seems of our sovereignty. The risks to individuals who 56 00:04:05,337 --> 00:04:09,297 Speaker 1: are crossing far too high. The riches the cartels received 57 00:04:09,337 --> 00:04:12,737 Speaker 1: from all this are too much and people are finally 58 00:04:12,777 --> 00:04:18,177 Speaker 1: starting to recognize the situation is unsustainable. Prior to this incident, 59 00:04:18,257 --> 00:04:22,257 Speaker 1: in fact, Texas Sheriff Ed Gonzalez informed the Biden administration 60 00:04:22,537 --> 00:04:26,497 Speaker 1: that he's no longer interested in being Biden's new ICE 61 00:04:26,617 --> 00:04:29,897 Speaker 1: Director Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. He tweeted out, I am 62 00:04:29,937 --> 00:04:33,217 Speaker 1: grateful who President Biden for the honor of nominating me, 63 00:04:33,257 --> 00:04:36,297 Speaker 1: and I wish this administration well as it strives to 64 00:04:36,377 --> 00:04:40,577 Speaker 1: overcome the paralyzing political gridlock that threatens far more than 65 00:04:40,697 --> 00:04:46,657 Speaker 1: our nation's border. Frankly, the dysfunction threatens America's heart and soul. 66 00:04:47,537 --> 00:04:52,777 Speaker 1: People who are professional border agents of many years, many 67 00:04:52,817 --> 00:04:55,657 Speaker 1: decades in fact, are saying this is the worst it 68 00:04:55,657 --> 00:04:58,217 Speaker 1: has ever been. Do you get any sense from the 69 00:04:58,217 --> 00:05:02,697 Speaker 1: Biden administration that they believe there is urgency here? Sure, 70 00:05:02,817 --> 00:05:05,377 Speaker 1: they're going to put out statements about how tragic and 71 00:05:05,377 --> 00:05:07,977 Speaker 1: it is deeply tragic that fifty people lost their lives 72 00:05:07,977 --> 00:05:12,097 Speaker 1: in one truck crossing the border on behalf of the 73 00:05:12,137 --> 00:05:17,697 Speaker 1: cartels and based on the average price that individuals pay 74 00:05:17,777 --> 00:05:22,617 Speaker 1: for that trafficking across the cartel plazza, there the plot 75 00:05:22,657 --> 00:05:25,737 Speaker 1: of land, so to speak, that they are in charge 76 00:05:25,737 --> 00:05:28,817 Speaker 1: of because the cartels break up the territory between them. 77 00:05:29,137 --> 00:05:33,257 Speaker 1: You're talking about you're talking about hundreds of thousands of 78 00:05:33,297 --> 00:05:37,137 Speaker 1: dollars the cartels would have gotten just from this one 79 00:05:37,137 --> 00:05:41,977 Speaker 1: smuggling operation, and in this case it went tragically wrong 80 00:05:42,017 --> 00:05:45,497 Speaker 1: with fifteen deaths. How does this all come to an end? Well, 81 00:05:45,537 --> 00:05:48,297 Speaker 1: border patrol will tell you the only way to stop 82 00:05:48,377 --> 00:05:51,497 Speaker 1: this is to secure the border. There needs to be 83 00:05:51,617 --> 00:05:54,777 Speaker 1: something done. It's not enough to just say that this 84 00:05:54,857 --> 00:05:57,617 Speaker 1: is a tragedy and this is sad. There are policies 85 00:05:58,017 --> 00:06:01,897 Speaker 1: that could prevent the next human smuggling operation. Because border 86 00:06:01,937 --> 00:06:05,937 Speaker 1: patrol right now is overstretched. They are spending so much 87 00:06:05,977 --> 00:06:10,777 Speaker 1: time dealing with the humanitarian mission of taking in Emily units, 88 00:06:10,817 --> 00:06:14,537 Speaker 1: making sure that babies have food and formula healthcare for 89 00:06:14,897 --> 00:06:19,497 Speaker 1: illegal migrants crossing that cartel smuggling operations like this one 90 00:06:20,617 --> 00:06:25,497 Speaker 1: are far more likely to occur because the cartels know 91 00:06:25,697 --> 00:06:27,777 Speaker 1: that there is a good chance they'll be able to 92 00:06:27,857 --> 00:06:32,377 Speaker 1: get through our border security, and so it just encourages 93 00:06:32,937 --> 00:06:36,777 Speaker 1: the lawlessness and an encourages situations that could result in 94 00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:40,617 Speaker 1: tragedies like this one. The way border agents on average 95 00:06:40,617 --> 00:06:44,377 Speaker 1: apprehend more than seven thousand migrants right now every single day, 96 00:06:44,937 --> 00:06:47,417 Speaker 1: and a lot of them are unaccompanied children. The Biden 97 00:06:47,417 --> 00:06:52,617 Speaker 1: administration is moving forward with a program to house many 98 00:06:52,657 --> 00:06:57,457 Speaker 1: of those children in North Carolina apparently, so they've done 99 00:06:57,457 --> 00:07:00,777 Speaker 1: nothing to stop the flow. They turned off the Remain 100 00:07:00,817 --> 00:07:04,137 Speaker 1: in Mexico program of the Trump administration. That change the 101 00:07:04,217 --> 00:07:07,377 Speaker 1: incentive for illegal crossing. And the only thing you can 102 00:07:07,417 --> 00:07:11,217 Speaker 1: take away from this whole situation at the thirty thousand 103 00:07:11,257 --> 00:07:15,657 Speaker 1: foot policy levels that the Biden administration doesn't want this 104 00:07:16,177 --> 00:07:20,697 Speaker 1: situation of a porous really an open border to stop. 105 00:07:21,257 --> 00:07:24,297 Speaker 1: They view this as in their long term political interests. 106 00:07:24,337 --> 00:07:29,097 Speaker 1: They see this situation as benefiting Democrat power over the 107 00:07:29,137 --> 00:07:35,377 Speaker 1: long run. They also have a ideological core of say 108 00:07:35,417 --> 00:07:38,777 Speaker 1: twenty to thirty percent of the Democrat Party who truly 109 00:07:38,817 --> 00:07:41,057 Speaker 1: believe in open borders. I mean they actually think that 110 00:07:41,137 --> 00:07:45,257 Speaker 1: America should kick it stores wide open to anyone, particularly 111 00:07:45,297 --> 00:07:47,537 Speaker 1: from the developing world. So people that come from poor 112 00:07:47,577 --> 00:07:51,377 Speaker 1: countries who generally do not speak English, they want them 113 00:07:51,417 --> 00:07:55,097 Speaker 1: coming into this country in the largest possible numbers. They 114 00:07:55,217 --> 00:07:58,657 Speaker 1: view them as likely to be more dependent upon this 115 00:07:58,857 --> 00:08:02,937 Speaker 1: state for assistance and resources and to vote Democrat as 116 00:08:02,937 --> 00:08:05,257 Speaker 1: a result. That is the program that is the plan. 117 00:08:05,657 --> 00:08:10,297 Speaker 1: Democrats have even articulated this in recent years. This needs 118 00:08:10,297 --> 00:08:14,257 Speaker 1: to stop. There needs to be a bipartisan decision that 119 00:08:14,337 --> 00:08:18,057 Speaker 1: we will secure the border. The only way that's going 120 00:08:18,057 --> 00:08:21,337 Speaker 1: to happen is if Democrats are annihilated at the polls 121 00:08:21,977 --> 00:08:24,697 Speaker 1: in the upcoming internal election. We'll have more on this 122 00:08:24,777 --> 00:08:27,177 Speaker 1: with the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, 123 00:08:27,217 --> 00:08:29,577 Speaker 1: marker Core.

Texas Lieutenant Governor 155 00:10:13,257 --> 00:10:17,497 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick blaming President Biden and his open border policies 156 00:10:17,537 --> 00:10:20,817 Speaker 1: for the heartbreaking tragedy in Texas or at least fifty 157 00:10:20,897 --> 00:10:24,457 Speaker 1: migrants we're left to die in an eighteen wheeler as 158 00:10:24,457 --> 00:10:27,817 Speaker 1: part of a smuggling operation. This as the administration continues 159 00:10:27,857 --> 00:10:30,017 Speaker 1: to lie to the American people saying the border is 160 00:10:30,217 --> 00:10:35,457 Speaker 1: securely closed with humane policies in place. Clearly there are 161 00:10:35,457 --> 00:10:38,097 Speaker 1: big problems here. They're delusional if they think this is 162 00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:41,097 Speaker 1: a secure border.

But she says the borders closed. Mark. Yeah, well, 176 00:11:30,697 --> 00:11:33,577 Speaker 1: if I left my car door locked the way they're 177 00:11:33,617 --> 00:11:35,697 Speaker 1: saying the border is closed, that I would have a 178 00:11:35,697 --> 00:11:40,337 Speaker 1: car pretty quickly. It's a laughable statement. It's obviously true 179 00:11:40,857 --> 00:11:44,737 Speaker 1: that the people directly responsible are these criminal smugglers though, 180 00:11:44,777 --> 00:11:48,297 Speaker 1: the scum of the earth. But there's also no question 181 00:11:48,657 --> 00:11:53,057 Speaker 1: that the Biden administration bears a significant part of the responsibility. 182 00:11:53,137 --> 00:11:58,577 Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor Patrick was correct, because what we're doing is 183 00:11:58,657 --> 00:12:02,657 Speaker 1: it's not that the border is open, it's it's open ish. 184 00:12:02,697 --> 00:12:06,177 Speaker 1: In other words, we're luring people here with the Biden 185 00:12:06,217 --> 00:12:09,377 Speaker 1: administrations promise that if they get past the border patrol, 186 00:12:09,377 --> 00:12:13,977 Speaker 1: they're basic home free. But we still have some roadblocks 187 00:12:14,017 --> 00:12:15,537 Speaker 1: in the way. I mean, there are still there is 188 00:12:15,577 --> 00:12:18,417 Speaker 1: still some enforcement going on at the border, so some 189 00:12:18,497 --> 00:12:22,137 Speaker 1: people still rely on smugglers to get in. So what 190 00:12:22,177 --> 00:12:25,377 Speaker 1: we have is the worst of both worlds. The one 191 00:12:25,377 --> 00:12:28,617 Speaker 1: option is and this is something that for instance, Senator 192 00:12:28,617 --> 00:12:31,977 Speaker 1: Menendez from New Jersey and various activist groups have said today, 193 00:12:32,337 --> 00:12:34,377 Speaker 1: is that we're not let enough people in. We just 194 00:12:34,417 --> 00:12:37,257 Speaker 1: need to have unlimited immigration, basically, is what they're saying. 195 00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:39,777 Speaker 1: Because then anybody who wants to come in would get in. 196 00:12:39,817 --> 00:12:41,977 Speaker 1: Nobody would have to be smuggled. Of course, the United 197 00:12:42,017 --> 00:12:44,337 Speaker 1: States would basically cease to exist if we did that. 198 00:12:44,817 --> 00:12:48,417 Speaker 1: The other option, the real option, is we have consistent 199 00:12:48,897 --> 00:12:52,897 Speaker 1: enforcement across the border to deter illegal limits, not just 200 00:12:53,337 --> 00:12:56,137 Speaker 1: fences and what have you. And that's all important, but 201 00:12:56,217 --> 00:12:58,137 Speaker 1: we also make sure that if you get past the 202 00:12:58,137 --> 00:13:00,537 Speaker 1: border patrol, you're not home free. You still get deported 203 00:13:01,617 --> 00:13:08,137 Speaker 1: across the board. Consistent strong enforcement so that people abroad 204 00:13:08,377 --> 00:13:11,657 Speaker 1: thinking about coming as an illegal immigrant will say it's 205 00:13:11,697 --> 00:13:14,097 Speaker 1: just not worth it. The odds or against me, so 206 00:13:14,137 --> 00:13:16,377 Speaker 1: I'm not going to take the risk and spend the money. 207 00:13:16,577 --> 00:13:20,177 Speaker 1: Some people might still do still mark, are they still 208 00:13:20,257 --> 00:13:24,977 Speaker 1: running the same the same scam essentially at a massive 209 00:13:25,097 --> 00:13:29,617 Speaker 1: level of this is all about they're supposed to appear 210 00:13:29,657 --> 00:13:31,737 Speaker 1: and they don't appear, they're giving a notice to appear, 211 00:13:31,817 --> 00:13:34,377 Speaker 1: they claim they want asylum, they go the asylum process, 212 00:13:34,817 --> 00:13:37,497 Speaker 1: and if so, do we have any sense of the 213 00:13:37,577 --> 00:13:42,057 Speaker 1: numbers of who actually seize through the process once they're 214 00:13:42,137 --> 00:13:45,257 Speaker 1: let it, once they enter illegally, but then they're claiming 215 00:13:45,297 --> 00:13:48,097 Speaker 1: defensive asylum or they have some other means of getting 216 00:13:48,417 --> 00:13:52,177 Speaker 1: released into the system. How many of them end up 217 00:13:52,217 --> 00:13:56,617 Speaker 1: at some point disobeying the system and breaking the law 218 00:13:56,737 --> 00:14:01,457 Speaker 1: again by either not showing up or not actually going 219 00:14:01,577 --> 00:14:05,617 Speaker 1: through to show before a judge, etc. Like, basically, how 220 00:14:05,657 --> 00:14:09,937 Speaker 1: many of them are actually staying legally? Almost all of 221 00:14:10,177 --> 00:14:13,497 Speaker 1: are staying illegally. Obviously it's a multi year process, so 222 00:14:13,537 --> 00:14:16,577 Speaker 1: it's kind of a moving target. But the fact is 223 00:14:16,617 --> 00:14:20,857 Speaker 1: that of those people who made it through the first 224 00:14:20,857 --> 00:14:24,337 Speaker 1: screening interview, that they don't get asylum, but they're you know, 225 00:14:24,377 --> 00:14:27,497 Speaker 1: they're considered okay, maybe they could get asylum. That's the 226 00:14:27,537 --> 00:14:30,457 Speaker 1: first screening interview. Half of those people don't even then 227 00:14:30,577 --> 00:14:33,937 Speaker 1: go through the process of actually applying for asylum because 228 00:14:33,937 --> 00:14:36,817 Speaker 1: they're let go. So why bother the other? It fair? 229 00:14:36,977 --> 00:14:39,217 Speaker 1: Is it fair to say, would you say, mark eighty 230 00:14:39,257 --> 00:14:41,857 Speaker 1: percent give or take eighty to maybe eighty to ninety 231 00:14:41,897 --> 00:14:44,697 Speaker 1: percent at some point just aside the system is not 232 00:14:44,737 --> 00:14:46,457 Speaker 1: really for them after they've been let in. Is that 233 00:14:46,497 --> 00:14:49,417 Speaker 1: what we're looking at at least? I mean, no question, 234 00:14:49,497 --> 00:14:52,817 Speaker 1: eighty to ninety maybe even more than that. One point 235 00:14:52,897 --> 00:14:55,337 Speaker 1: or another. They may show up for hearings, but then 236 00:14:55,417 --> 00:14:57,697 Speaker 1: if they're ordered deported, they don't leave. So yes, the 237 00:14:57,737 --> 00:15:02,537 Speaker 1: overwhelming majority almost all who don't get asylum end up 238 00:15:02,617 --> 00:15:06,297 Speaker 1: staying anyway. What kind of interior enforcement do we actually 239 00:15:06,297 --> 00:15:08,737 Speaker 1: have going on right now? And by the numbers, obviously 240 00:15:08,737 --> 00:15:10,537 Speaker 1: it's weak, it's by it and we know that. But 241 00:15:10,977 --> 00:15:14,177 Speaker 1: are they deporting people and any significant numbers right now 242 00:15:14,257 --> 00:15:17,177 Speaker 1: from the not including people caught at the border crossing 243 00:15:17,217 --> 00:15:20,577 Speaker 1: and illegally now maybe turned away unentertitle forty two. But 244 00:15:20,697 --> 00:15:23,417 Speaker 1: are we deporting people who are just in the country illegally? 245 00:15:24,457 --> 00:15:29,297 Speaker 1: What's interior enforcement? Yeah, I'm pulling your leg here, but no, 246 00:15:29,377 --> 00:15:32,817 Speaker 1: they're not. I mean, some people, sure, But we looked 247 00:15:32,817 --> 00:15:36,417 Speaker 1: at the numbers, and deportations from inside the country, as 248 00:15:36,457 --> 00:15:41,097 Speaker 1: you suggested, are down in twenty twenty one, down by 249 00:15:41,337 --> 00:15:45,857 Speaker 1: two thirds, more than two thirds. And the administration has 250 00:15:45,897 --> 00:15:50,377 Speaker 1: always maintained that that's because they're focusing on criminals only. Well, 251 00:15:50,417 --> 00:15:54,697 Speaker 1: the deportations of criminals also dropped by about the same amount. 252 00:15:54,977 --> 00:15:58,777 Speaker 1: So the fact is that you really really have to 253 00:15:58,817 --> 00:16:01,577 Speaker 1: do something to get ICE's attention in order for the 254 00:16:01,577 --> 00:16:05,737 Speaker 1: Biden administration to allow Ice to deport you. It still happens, 255 00:16:05,937 --> 00:16:09,897 Speaker 1: it just doesn't happen very much. GOP. Senator Ron Johnson, 256 00:16:10,097 --> 00:16:13,057 Speaker 1: by the way, is demanding answers from DHS Secretary of 257 00:16:13,057 --> 00:16:16,097 Speaker 1: Many Orcus after a leaked DHS MAMO about using federal 258 00:16:16,137 --> 00:16:19,777 Speaker 1: funds to move migrants around the US. Dron Johnson said, 259 00:16:19,857 --> 00:16:23,257 Speaker 1: under DHS's plan, taxpayers would put the bill to send 260 00:16:23,337 --> 00:16:28,257 Speaker 1: allies I'm sorry, aliens to cities such as Los Angeles, California, Albuquerque, 261 00:16:28,297 --> 00:16:31,817 Speaker 1: New Mexico, Houston, Dallas, and other places. Taxpayer dollars should 262 00:16:31,817 --> 00:16:34,017 Speaker 1: be used to secure our border, not further exacerbate the 263 00:16:34,057 --> 00:16:36,937 Speaker 1: Biden border crisis. What's going on here with the taxpayer 264 00:16:36,977 --> 00:16:39,577 Speaker 1: dollars from DHS setting people all over the country. So 265 00:16:40,057 --> 00:16:42,897 Speaker 1: now as you cross in illegally and DHS puts you 266 00:16:42,937 --> 00:16:44,617 Speaker 1: on a plane and sends you to Boston, so you 267 00:16:44,657 --> 00:16:48,497 Speaker 1: can go exactly where you want to go. Well, not necessarily, 268 00:16:48,497 --> 00:16:52,097 Speaker 1: what they're doing is moving people away from the border 269 00:16:52,137 --> 00:16:56,297 Speaker 1: because the border communities are overwhelmed, and so what they're 270 00:16:56,297 --> 00:16:59,217 Speaker 1: doing is they're sending people to shelters like the next 271 00:16:59,257 --> 00:17:02,777 Speaker 1: big city in Houston or LA or Phoenix or something 272 00:17:02,817 --> 00:17:05,537 Speaker 1: like that. But if you're actually going to Houston or 273 00:17:05,657 --> 00:17:08,417 Speaker 1: LA or Phoenix, well then the government just delivered you 274 00:17:08,497 --> 00:17:11,497 Speaker 1: to where you're going in any case you have been 275 00:17:11,537 --> 00:17:16,137 Speaker 1: moved away from the border. The Biden administration's concern with 276 00:17:16,297 --> 00:17:20,217 Speaker 1: like the burdens this is placing on border towns is 277 00:17:20,257 --> 00:17:22,137 Speaker 1: not the way they're responding to that is not to 278 00:17:22,137 --> 00:17:24,817 Speaker 1: fix the problem and keep people out. It's to move 279 00:17:24,857 --> 00:17:28,097 Speaker 1: people out faster so that they get into the United 280 00:17:28,497 --> 00:17:32,577 Speaker 1: Political consequences to people seeing the mobs, you know in 281 00:17:32,617 --> 00:17:35,937 Speaker 1: the different detainment centers, etc. Real quick before let you go, mark, 282 00:17:36,257 --> 00:17:38,737 Speaker 1: any thoughts on what's going to come down here from 283 00:17:38,737 --> 00:17:43,017 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court on remain in Mexico. I don't know, 284 00:17:43,137 --> 00:17:47,057 Speaker 1: and it'll be it's an important case. But even if 285 00:17:47,097 --> 00:17:50,057 Speaker 1: they uphold the decision that they have to keep remain 286 00:17:50,097 --> 00:17:54,017 Speaker 1: in Mexico in place, this administration even now is under 287 00:17:54,057 --> 00:17:56,857 Speaker 1: that kind of order from the lower courts and they've 288 00:17:56,897 --> 00:17:59,377 Speaker 1: only put a few hundred, well a couple of thousand 289 00:17:59,377 --> 00:18:03,537 Speaker 1: people into remain in Mexico, when last month alone they 290 00:18:03,577 --> 00:18:06,857 Speaker 1: had almost a quarter million illegal aliens. So they're basically 291 00:18:06,897 --> 00:18:11,217 Speaker 1: ignoring the court order. Now. I'm not the Supreme Court 292 00:18:11,617 --> 00:18:14,897 Speaker 1: could affirms the lower court's orders. This administration will do 293 00:18:14,977 --> 00:18:17,457 Speaker 1: anything different. Mark, We'll have to talk to you more 294 00:18:17,457 --> 00:18:18,937 Speaker 1: about it when it comes down. Thanks for being one 295 00:18:18,977 --> 00:18:24,137 Speaker 1: of us. Thank you.

We come back. Texas State Attorney General Ken 298 00:18:29,777 --> 00:18:32,857 Speaker 1: Paxton joins us to discuss the lone star states efforts 299 00:18:32,897 --> 00:18:35,897 Speaker 1: to shutter the abortion industry.

Then he 310 00:19:00,577 --> 00:19:02,897 Speaker 1: can take out loans on your home or sell it. 311 00:19:03,177 --> 00:19:05,977 Speaker 1: Typical identity theft services don't cover you, and neither does 312 00:19:05,977 --> 00:19:09,737 Speaker 1: homeowners insurance.

At least 325 00:19:50,497 --> 00:19:53,057 Speaker 1: thirteen states have abortion bands on the books, many of 326 00:19:53,057 --> 00:19:56,297 Speaker 1: which were set to trigger once decade.

What is happening in your home state of Texas? 337 00:20:33,777 --> 00:20:35,857 Speaker 1: All right, so we're talking about Harris County. We're in 338 00:20:35,897 --> 00:20:40,177 Speaker 1: a barely liberal county, fairly liberal judge. She ruled that 339 00:20:41,497 --> 00:20:44,337 Speaker 1: the pre row statutes are not in place anymore. I 340 00:20:44,377 --> 00:20:47,217 Speaker 1: don't know why she said that, because the statute that 341 00:20:47,297 --> 00:20:50,097 Speaker 1: we passed, both the Trigger Bill and the Heartbeat Bill 342 00:20:50,257 --> 00:20:54,377 Speaker 1: both reference the fact that we're not we're not eliminating 343 00:20:54,417 --> 00:20:57,217 Speaker 1: those statues. The statutes still are in place. They've never 344 00:20:57,297 --> 00:21:00,017 Speaker 1: been repealed by the legislature. So you know, this is 345 00:21:00,017 --> 00:21:03,817 Speaker 1: a temporary injunction. So we're going to have whether the 346 00:21:03,817 --> 00:21:05,697 Speaker 1: permanent junction is going to stay in place. We're gonna 347 00:21:05,697 --> 00:21:07,817 Speaker 1: have a hearing in a in a I think it's 348 00:21:07,857 --> 00:21:10,257 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, and so we should build all 349 00:21:10,297 --> 00:21:12,937 Speaker 1: this if we if we don't, will appeal it. It's 350 00:21:13,017 --> 00:21:16,377 Speaker 1: it's obviously it's it's not the right decision. Those statutes 351 00:21:16,377 --> 00:21:19,777 Speaker 1: are in place, the trigger bills in place, everything, heartbeat 352 00:21:19,777 --> 00:21:22,297 Speaker 1: bills and heartbeat built laws in place. Everything's in place, 353 00:21:22,657 --> 00:21:25,017 Speaker 1: and for her to stop everything and say act like 354 00:21:25,177 --> 00:21:28,097 Speaker 1: nothing happened, is you know, obviously not the right decision. 355 00:21:28,417 --> 00:21:31,857 Speaker 1: And what is the law now in the state of 356 00:21:31,897 --> 00:21:33,937 Speaker 1: Texas forever to watch it when it when it comes 357 00:21:34,377 --> 00:21:37,457 Speaker 1: to the issue of abortion, I mean what you mentioned 358 00:21:37,457 --> 00:21:40,617 Speaker 1: the trigger laws. Where where does it the issue stand 359 00:21:40,697 --> 00:21:45,017 Speaker 1: right now? Yeah, so the trigger bill goes into effect 360 00:21:45,217 --> 00:21:47,377 Speaker 1: after the court. The court has the issue of final judgment. 361 00:21:47,457 --> 00:21:51,177 Speaker 1: The final judgment typically is about I think the deadlines 362 00:21:51,177 --> 00:21:53,137 Speaker 1: about twenty five days. It gives it gives the other 363 00:21:53,177 --> 00:21:56,217 Speaker 1: side a chance to ask for rehearing of their case 364 00:21:56,257 --> 00:21:58,817 Speaker 1: in front of the US Spreme Court. They're rarely granted. 365 00:22:00,097 --> 00:22:02,177 Speaker 1: I doubt it will be granted here, but we have 366 00:22:02,297 --> 00:22:04,697 Speaker 1: we give them twenty five days and then thirty days 367 00:22:04,697 --> 00:22:07,137 Speaker 1: after that. The legislature said, the trigger Bill goes into 368 00:22:07,177 --> 00:22:11,097 Speaker 1: effect and abortions are are bank end and that's a 369 00:22:11,137 --> 00:22:15,417 Speaker 1: new law. There were old laws that were struck down 370 00:22:15,457 --> 00:22:18,217 Speaker 1: by Robi Wade. Now Robie Wade has been struck down. 371 00:22:18,617 --> 00:22:21,897 Speaker 1: So our argument is, hey, those laws they were struck 372 00:22:21,937 --> 00:22:24,697 Speaker 1: down then, but they're still alive now because Robie Wade 373 00:22:25,417 --> 00:22:28,537 Speaker 1: was invalid precedent, and the Supreme Court just told us that. 374 00:22:28,897 --> 00:22:33,177 Speaker 1: And so the laws in place before Robie Wade occurred 375 00:22:33,217 --> 00:22:35,217 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three are now back in place. Those 376 00:22:35,297 --> 00:22:38,417 Speaker 1: laws exist right now and until the Trigger Bill goes 377 00:22:38,457 --> 00:22:40,697 Speaker 1: into effect, and the Trigger Bill doesn't even overrule those 378 00:22:41,057 --> 00:22:44,017 Speaker 1: It just adds to what does the trigger bill do, 379 00:22:44,177 --> 00:22:48,617 Speaker 1: just so I'm clear. So the Trigger Bill outlaws all 380 00:22:48,657 --> 00:22:53,017 Speaker 1: abortions unless it relates to the help of the mother. 381 00:22:53,137 --> 00:22:56,257 Speaker 1: So the Trigger Bill, if roby it was passed legislature 382 00:22:56,297 --> 00:22:59,297 Speaker 1: before Robie Wade was struck down. It was passed in 383 00:22:59,457 --> 00:23:03,217 Speaker 1: anticipation of Robie Wade being struck down. So legislature passed 384 00:23:03,257 --> 00:23:06,657 Speaker 1: it in May, I think, and it went into effect 385 00:23:06,697 --> 00:23:11,977 Speaker 1: in September, almost a year ago. And if Robi Waite passed, 386 00:23:12,057 --> 00:23:17,057 Speaker 1: then it's sort of retroactively knocked down or put back 387 00:23:17,057 --> 00:23:19,977 Speaker 1: in place. These these these statutes what have You can 388 00:23:20,057 --> 00:23:24,817 Speaker 1: also speak to the possible legality one way or the 389 00:23:24,817 --> 00:23:30,697 Speaker 1: other of a suggestion from Member of Congress Representative Alexandria 390 00:23:30,777 --> 00:23:35,217 Speaker 1: Ocasio Cortez, who wants abortion clinics to be opened on 391 00:23:35,337 --> 00:23:39,617 Speaker 1: federal land in Red states. Watch with the us off 392 00:23:39,657 --> 00:23:51,777 Speaker 1: the baby. The baby steps open abortion clinics federal So, 393 00:23:51,897 --> 00:23:54,897 Speaker 1: mister Churney General, she says she wants abortion clinics to 394 00:23:54,897 --> 00:23:59,617 Speaker 1: be opened on federal land in red states. Could that 395 00:23:59,657 --> 00:24:05,097 Speaker 1: happen in Texas? I don't know how she do that. 396 00:24:05,177 --> 00:24:07,897 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't really have many federal lands in Texas. 397 00:24:07,937 --> 00:24:11,537 Speaker 1: We've got Air Force base and army bases, but those 398 00:24:11,577 --> 00:24:15,977 Speaker 1: are usually known to be used for the military. We 399 00:24:16,017 --> 00:24:18,137 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of federal lands in Texas. You know, 400 00:24:18,177 --> 00:24:21,777 Speaker 1: there are states like Utah and Nevada and that are 401 00:24:21,777 --> 00:24:25,257 Speaker 1: controlled largely by by the federal government. But in Texas, 402 00:24:25,857 --> 00:24:27,377 Speaker 1: you know, there's just not a lot of a lot 403 00:24:27,417 --> 00:24:32,817 Speaker 1: of federal lands. Sorry, Aco and switching topics for a 404 00:24:32,817 --> 00:24:36,617 Speaker 1: moment here, mister Attorney General. Everyone across the country is 405 00:24:36,977 --> 00:24:42,097 Speaker 1: reeling in horror at the finding of the migrants in 406 00:24:42,137 --> 00:24:46,497 Speaker 1: this tractor trailer. Fifty of them as of this show, 407 00:24:46,537 --> 00:24:49,777 Speaker 1: at least we know, are dead. There are others who 408 00:24:49,777 --> 00:24:53,777 Speaker 1: are in severe you know, severe risk taken to the hospital, 409 00:24:53,777 --> 00:24:58,377 Speaker 1: including children. What should people know about how a situation 410 00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:01,817 Speaker 1: like this can occur? What are the factors from the 411 00:25:01,857 --> 00:25:06,017 Speaker 1: cartel side to the policy side that allow something like this. 412 00:25:06,057 --> 00:25:08,297 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's the worst migrant loss of 413 00:25:08,337 --> 00:25:12,617 Speaker 1: life tragedy and history. Yeah, this is not the first time, 414 00:25:12,657 --> 00:25:14,417 Speaker 1: though this is a larger number than we've had in 415 00:25:14,417 --> 00:25:17,337 Speaker 1: the passing. This will happen again. This is a partnership 416 00:25:17,377 --> 00:25:21,377 Speaker 1: between the Biden administration and the cartels. The cartels know 417 00:25:21,697 --> 00:25:25,417 Speaker 1: that the Biden administration has incentivized this, and the cartels 418 00:25:25,537 --> 00:25:28,057 Speaker 1: make the more people they can get across the border, 419 00:25:28,097 --> 00:25:30,897 Speaker 1: the more money they make. They charge eight thousand per 420 00:25:30,977 --> 00:25:34,897 Speaker 1: person somewhere around that number, and so the Biden administrations 421 00:25:34,897 --> 00:25:37,057 Speaker 1: made it very clear that the more people that they 422 00:25:37,217 --> 00:25:39,937 Speaker 1: cartels can get across, the more money they're gonna make. 423 00:25:39,937 --> 00:25:43,137 Speaker 1: And look, these people are typically not running, they're typically 424 00:25:43,177 --> 00:25:46,337 Speaker 1: running to the border rages. Now there are some that 425 00:25:46,377 --> 00:25:49,697 Speaker 1: have issues that even the border rages don't accept, and 426 00:25:49,777 --> 00:25:52,057 Speaker 1: so that may be this group here. So this is 427 00:25:52,097 --> 00:25:54,057 Speaker 1: not going to be the last time. This is certainly 428 00:25:54,137 --> 00:25:58,217 Speaker 1: encouraged by the Biden administration. I would say to expect 429 00:25:58,297 --> 00:26:00,377 Speaker 1: more the same. And they're they're fine with it. They're 430 00:26:00,417 --> 00:26:04,857 Speaker 1: willing to accept losses from both migrants, from both citizens 431 00:26:04,857 --> 00:26:08,057 Speaker 1: of Texas, from betting all overdoses. Those are all acceptable 432 00:26:08,057 --> 00:26:11,057 Speaker 1: losses to the Biden administration, they're encouraging this, not discouraging 433 00:26:11,057 --> 00:26:14,057 Speaker 1: it in any way. They're doing everything they can make 434 00:26:14,217 --> 00:26:16,577 Speaker 1: everything they can do to make this happen. So they're 435 00:26:16,617 --> 00:26:19,537 Speaker 1: okay with all of this. Would you say that cartels 436 00:26:19,777 --> 00:26:24,137 Speaker 1: are more powerful right now in part because of the 437 00:26:24,457 --> 00:26:27,097 Speaker 1: poorest border with all the human smuggling and drug trafficking 438 00:26:27,177 --> 00:26:29,217 Speaker 1: going on, Then at any time since you've been working 439 00:26:29,257 --> 00:26:33,297 Speaker 1: in Texas law and law enforcement, well, when you're empowered 440 00:26:33,297 --> 00:26:35,777 Speaker 1: by the federal government of the United States, it really 441 00:26:35,817 --> 00:26:38,057 Speaker 1: does help. And so they've gotten a huge boost from 442 00:26:38,057 --> 00:26:41,897 Speaker 1: the Biden administration encouraging illegal immigration and they know it. Look, 443 00:26:41,897 --> 00:26:44,417 Speaker 1: there's no surprise to them. They were they were told 444 00:26:44,417 --> 00:26:47,577 Speaker 1: on day one, Hey, the laws of the federal government 445 00:26:47,857 --> 00:26:51,257 Speaker 1: about immigration don't apply anymore. Get you know, get get on, 446 00:26:51,377 --> 00:26:53,377 Speaker 1: get on the ball, and get your get more people here. 447 00:26:53,737 --> 00:26:55,897 Speaker 1: And so they've done it, and they are more powerful, 448 00:26:55,937 --> 00:26:59,377 Speaker 1: their their their ability to import drugs is getting better, 449 00:26:59,457 --> 00:27:02,817 Speaker 1: and more kids are dying, more people are dying. That's 450 00:27:03,217 --> 00:27:05,497 Speaker 1: for the Biden administration. They you know, obviously don't talk 451 00:27:05,537 --> 00:27:07,697 Speaker 1: about this, but it's clear to me that it's a 452 00:27:07,697 --> 00:27:09,937 Speaker 1: fair trade off of them they're willing to trade American 453 00:27:10,097 --> 00:27:12,937 Speaker 1: lives and even immigrant lives if they can get a 454 00:27:12,977 --> 00:27:16,057 Speaker 1: trade off of getting more and more illegal immigrated immigrants 455 00:27:16,057 --> 00:27:17,977 Speaker 1: into this country and just just one more for you. 456 00:27:18,017 --> 00:27:22,657 Speaker 1: I remember hearing from members of border patrol that the 457 00:27:22,817 --> 00:27:24,817 Speaker 1: state of this is one of the Trump administration. When 458 00:27:24,817 --> 00:27:27,977 Speaker 1: I was spending time at the border at the state 459 00:27:28,017 --> 00:27:31,537 Speaker 1: of California did everything they could to make it harder 460 00:27:31,577 --> 00:27:34,897 Speaker 1: for border patrol agents in California to do their jobs. 461 00:27:35,137 --> 00:27:38,057 Speaker 1: I'm wondering now, it's obviously different of a Biden administration. 462 00:27:38,537 --> 00:27:40,777 Speaker 1: Are there any ways the Bide administration at the federal 463 00:27:40,857 --> 00:27:43,737 Speaker 1: level is making it harder for the state of Texas 464 00:27:43,777 --> 00:27:49,297 Speaker 1: to have border security. Oh. Absolutely, everything they're doing makes 465 00:27:49,337 --> 00:27:52,097 Speaker 1: it more difficult for us to have border security. I mean, 466 00:27:52,137 --> 00:27:54,617 Speaker 1: when you when you have an open invitation to tell 467 00:27:54,657 --> 00:27:58,137 Speaker 1: people to turn yourself into the border age border patrol 468 00:27:58,177 --> 00:28:01,577 Speaker 1: and you'll be given asylum, and you'll be moved rather 469 00:28:01,697 --> 00:28:05,737 Speaker 1: quickly secretly a planer on a bus somewhere in the country. 470 00:28:06,257 --> 00:28:09,697 Speaker 1: The border agents aren't getting to do their job. They're demoralized, 471 00:28:09,697 --> 00:28:13,017 Speaker 1: they're they're not supported, they're not getting to do their job. 472 00:28:13,457 --> 00:28:16,377 Speaker 1: It's it's not even a real job anymore. And it's 473 00:28:16,457 --> 00:28:19,617 Speaker 1: unfortunate because these are great men and women that have 474 00:28:19,697 --> 00:28:22,857 Speaker 1: dedicated their lives to public service, to helping us defend 475 00:28:22,897 --> 00:28:26,257 Speaker 1: our country, and the Biden administrations fits in their face 476 00:28:26,457 --> 00:28:28,657 Speaker 1: and says, we're not going to let you do your jobs. 477 00:28:28,657 --> 00:28:30,617 Speaker 1: A fact, We're gonna make you just the opposite. We're 478 00:28:30,617 --> 00:28:33,417 Speaker 1: gonna make you be a part of our plan to 479 00:28:33,497 --> 00:28:36,177 Speaker 1: violate all federal laws as it relates to immigration and 480 00:28:36,257 --> 00:28:39,097 Speaker 1: get as many illegal immigrants into here. Whatever their background, 481 00:28:39,417 --> 00:28:44,137 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, crime, drugs, whatever it is, we 482 00:28:44,337 --> 00:28:47,657 Speaker 1: want them here. Even if they're criminals, we want them here. 483 00:28:47,697 --> 00:28:49,257 Speaker 1: We're going to try to release them. We fought the 484 00:28:49,257 --> 00:28:52,777 Speaker 1: Biden administration they're supposed to now not let criminals go 485 00:28:52,817 --> 00:28:54,537 Speaker 1: in the United States. Whether they're doing that or not, 486 00:28:55,097 --> 00:28:57,177 Speaker 1: we don't know because they don't report anything to the 487 00:28:57,177 --> 00:28:59,977 Speaker 1: American people about what they're actually doing. Learning in general 488 00:29:00,017 --> 00:29:02,417 Speaker 1: from State of Texas can packs in, sir, appreciate you 489 00:29:02,417 --> 00:29:05,217 Speaker 1: being with us today. Thanks for making the time. Hey, 490 00:29:05,217 --> 00:29:09,177 Speaker 1: thank you have a great day. A big win for 491 00:29:09,217 --> 00:29:12,777 Speaker 1: election integrity New York City, as the city's non citizen 492 00:29:12,857 --> 00:29:15,097 Speaker 1: voting law was struck down yesterday in the courts. We'll 493 00:29:15,097 --> 00:29:17,057 Speaker 1: talk about that coming up here in just a moment. 494 00:29:21,417 --> 00:29:24,137 Speaker 1: Each morning, the President of the United States receives a 495 00:29:24,217 --> 00:29:27,697 Speaker 1: highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing the country. 496 00:29:28,017 --> 00:29:31,617 Speaker 1: It's called the President's Daily Brief or PDB. It's delivered 497 00:29:31,617 --> 00:29:34,697 Speaker 1: by America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear 498 00:29:34,777 --> 00:29:37,817 Speaker 1: your very own PDB in the form of a podcast 499 00:29:37,897 --> 00:29:41,937 Speaker 1: hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. 500 00:29:42,297 --> 00:29:44,977 Speaker 1: Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen 501 00:29:45,017 --> 00:29:47,777 Speaker 1: to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, 502 00:29:48,017 --> 00:29:51,417 Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to 503 00:29:51,457 --> 00:30:02,297 Speaker 1: start your morning. Every administration, including the Deblasio administration the 504 00:30:02,337 --> 00:30:05,417 Speaker 1: Bloomberg administration, has been clear saying that this law would 505 00:30:05,457 --> 00:30:09,817 Speaker 1: be unconstitutional and against the current statute, and now judge 506 00:30:09,817 --> 00:30:13,977 Speaker 1: has firm that position. Big win for election integrity in 507 00:30:14,057 --> 00:30:18,177 Speaker 1: New York City yesterday, as the city's non citizen voting 508 00:30:18,257 --> 00:30:20,697 Speaker 1: law has been struck down of the courts. New York 509 00:30:20,737 --> 00:30:23,297 Speaker 1: Times reports a law that would have allowed non citizens 510 00:30:23,297 --> 00:30:24,937 Speaker 1: to vote in local elections in New York City was 511 00:30:24,937 --> 00:30:27,537 Speaker 1: struck down on Monday by a State Supreme Court justice 512 00:30:27,857 --> 00:30:31,297 Speaker 1: on staten Island who said it violated these state constitution. 513 00:30:32,057 --> 00:30:34,857 Speaker 1: The measure would have allowed more than eight hundred thousand 514 00:30:34,897 --> 00:30:38,417 Speaker 1: permanent legal residents and people with authorization to work in 515 00:30:38,457 --> 00:30:41,417 Speaker 1: the United States to vote for offices such as mayor 516 00:30:41,497 --> 00:30:44,497 Speaker 1: and city council. So what does this mean for local 517 00:30:44,497 --> 00:30:47,297 Speaker 1: New York City elections moving forward? Man that led the 518 00:30:47,337 --> 00:30:49,777 Speaker 1: movement to strike down this laws with me now? New 519 00:30:49,857 --> 00:30:54,057 Speaker 1: York City Council Minority Leader Joe Barelli, Joe Sage of 520 00:30:54,097 --> 00:30:57,377 Speaker 1: Staten Island, good to see you, you too, book, Thank you, 521 00:30:58,177 --> 00:31:00,337 Speaker 1: so you put out a statement on this the state 522 00:31:00,377 --> 00:31:03,057 Speaker 1: Supreme Court law a state Supreme court rather invalidating the 523 00:31:03,097 --> 00:31:05,977 Speaker 1: non citizen voting law. Non Citizen voting in New York 524 00:31:06,057 --> 00:31:08,057 Speaker 1: is illegal, and shame on those who thought they could 525 00:31:08,057 --> 00:31:10,777 Speaker 1: skirt the law for political gain. Command the court and 526 00:31:10,817 --> 00:31:14,177 Speaker 1: recognizing reality and reminding New York's professional protests or class 527 00:31:14,217 --> 00:31:17,457 Speaker 1: at the rule of law matters. I mean, when you 528 00:31:17,497 --> 00:31:19,857 Speaker 1: look at the state constitution in New York, was this 529 00:31:19,937 --> 00:31:21,617 Speaker 1: even a close call? Why do they think they can 530 00:31:21,657 --> 00:31:25,457 Speaker 1: get away with this? Well, so, even I'll stipulate the 531 00:31:25,537 --> 00:31:29,497 Speaker 1: state constitution is somewhat vague. It says that citizens have 532 00:31:29,617 --> 00:31:32,017 Speaker 1: the right to vote in elections, which is something we 533 00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:35,017 Speaker 1: all know and accept. But even if we stipulate that 534 00:31:35,137 --> 00:31:38,337 Speaker 1: point is vague, there's a state statute on the books, 535 00:31:38,417 --> 00:31:42,737 Speaker 1: even in Blue New York State, that requires citizenship to 536 00:31:42,857 --> 00:31:45,977 Speaker 1: register for and vote at elections at all levels, from 537 00:31:46,017 --> 00:31:49,857 Speaker 1: the governor down to the town justice. So it was 538 00:31:49,897 --> 00:31:53,457 Speaker 1: the combination of that and the state constitution and a 539 00:31:53,577 --> 00:31:57,497 Speaker 1: third law that required municipalities, if they're changing the way 540 00:31:57,537 --> 00:32:02,017 Speaker 1: people vote for offices, to go through a referendum process 541 00:32:02,537 --> 00:32:04,577 Speaker 1: that they didn't do with this case. It was those 542 00:32:04,657 --> 00:32:08,217 Speaker 1: three things that actually overturned this law. And again going 543 00:32:08,257 --> 00:32:13,617 Speaker 1: back two decades, every mayoral administration to Blasio, also in Bloomberg, 544 00:32:13,937 --> 00:32:16,217 Speaker 1: they all said that this was illegal, that the city 545 00:32:16,257 --> 00:32:18,297 Speaker 1: did not have the power to do this. But in 546 00:32:18,337 --> 00:32:21,537 Speaker 1: the last month of the de Blasio mayoralty, he decided 547 00:32:21,617 --> 00:32:24,177 Speaker 1: to throw some you know, wat against the wall and 548 00:32:24,217 --> 00:32:27,497 Speaker 1: see what's stuck. And for six months this stuck until 549 00:32:27,497 --> 00:32:30,577 Speaker 1: a judge decided that reality and the law matters, and 550 00:32:30,617 --> 00:32:34,097 Speaker 1: now we won't have foreign citizen voting. These aren't non citizens, 551 00:32:34,097 --> 00:32:38,257 Speaker 1: but these are foreign citizens. Qualifications of New York voters 552 00:32:38,337 --> 00:32:41,097 Speaker 1: are as follows. No person shall be qualified to register 553 00:32:41,177 --> 00:32:44,057 Speaker 1: for and voted any election unless he is a citizen 554 00:32:44,097 --> 00:32:46,417 Speaker 1: of the United States and is or will be on 555 00:32:46,457 --> 00:32:49,217 Speaker 1: the day of such election eighteen years of age or over, 556 00:32:49,537 --> 00:32:51,977 Speaker 1: and the resident of the state and of the county, city, 557 00:32:52,057 --> 00:32:55,217 Speaker 1: or village for a minimum of thirty days next preceding 558 00:32:55,377 --> 00:32:59,257 Speaker 1: such elections. So the law seems on this one one out. 559 00:32:59,297 --> 00:33:01,817 Speaker 1: But Joe, do you think they're done? Are they going 560 00:33:01,897 --> 00:33:04,857 Speaker 1: to try some other way to expand voting to people 561 00:33:04,897 --> 00:33:09,417 Speaker 1: who are not citizens? No, they'll forum shop. They'll try 562 00:33:09,457 --> 00:33:11,977 Speaker 1: to appeel this up to the Second Department, our first 563 00:33:12,057 --> 00:33:15,137 Speaker 1: level appeals court in the state. They'll try to make 564 00:33:15,217 --> 00:33:18,497 Speaker 1: the argument that the application of that law, even though 565 00:33:18,537 --> 00:33:21,257 Speaker 1: it's plain and simple you can read it yourself, wasn't 566 00:33:21,257 --> 00:33:24,657 Speaker 1: applied properly in this case. I don't think that works. 567 00:33:24,937 --> 00:33:27,537 Speaker 1: What they could do, and what might be the interesting 568 00:33:27,577 --> 00:33:29,537 Speaker 1: things come out of this is now push at the 569 00:33:29,617 --> 00:33:32,297 Speaker 1: state level for a change in that law. And to 570 00:33:32,417 --> 00:33:34,737 Speaker 1: be clear, if they change the statute you just had 571 00:33:34,737 --> 00:33:37,697 Speaker 1: on the screen, then you could allow municipal voting of 572 00:33:37,777 --> 00:33:41,377 Speaker 1: foreign citizens in every county and every city election in 573 00:33:41,417 --> 00:33:44,617 Speaker 1: the state. Unfortunately, though, they would pay a political price 574 00:33:44,697 --> 00:33:46,857 Speaker 1: for that, because this is one of those things that's 575 00:33:46,897 --> 00:33:50,617 Speaker 1: not even widely supported within liberal New York City. There 576 00:33:50,657 --> 00:33:54,177 Speaker 1: were a ton of politicians, especially African American politicians, who 577 00:33:54,177 --> 00:33:58,337 Speaker 1: oppose this. They rightly have seen a generation of trying 578 00:33:58,377 --> 00:34:02,097 Speaker 1: to get black leadership and other ethnicities to get representation 579 00:34:02,417 --> 00:34:06,657 Speaker 1: in their communities at different levels of government, and they 580 00:34:06,737 --> 00:34:09,977 Speaker 1: felt that this would water down their contributions to govern 581 00:34:10,257 --> 00:34:14,097 Speaker 1: our city by allowing these people who are enfranchised in 582 00:34:14,177 --> 00:34:16,857 Speaker 1: some other jurisdiction around the world. By the way, fun fact, 583 00:34:17,057 --> 00:34:19,577 Speaker 1: if this was to go into into place last election, 584 00:34:19,937 --> 00:34:22,737 Speaker 1: you could have voted for Sonic Khan in London and 585 00:34:23,017 --> 00:34:25,657 Speaker 1: Mayor Eric Adams within thirty five days of each other 586 00:34:25,697 --> 00:34:29,017 Speaker 1: and both would have been legal. Wow. There you have it. 587 00:34:29,177 --> 00:34:31,497 Speaker 1: Not on Joe Burrow, He's watch though at least not yet. 588 00:34:32,057 --> 00:34:37,097 Speaker 1: Cognatorial primary elections going on today in the Empire State. Joe, 589 00:34:37,497 --> 00:34:41,817 Speaker 1: you endorsed on the GEOP side, Lee Zeldene. What made 590 00:34:41,857 --> 00:34:46,017 Speaker 1: you go with Lee? There's some good folks in that race. Yeah, 591 00:34:46,057 --> 00:34:48,457 Speaker 1: I mean there's there's three good candidates. I'll be clear 592 00:34:48,457 --> 00:34:51,257 Speaker 1: about that. I know Rob Esterino and Andrew Giuliani for many, 593 00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,977 Speaker 1: many years, and if they happen to win I'll be 594 00:34:53,977 --> 00:34:56,937 Speaker 1: happy to support them too, But I think Lee is 595 00:34:56,977 --> 00:34:59,657 Speaker 1: the only person in the race with the experience and 596 00:35:00,297 --> 00:35:04,977 Speaker 1: statewide mechanics of a campaign that could actually go on 597 00:35:05,057 --> 00:35:08,417 Speaker 1: and beat Kathy hole in Hoco. In November, Lee raised 598 00:35:08,537 --> 00:35:11,657 Speaker 1: almost ten million dollars, which is double basically what every 599 00:35:11,697 --> 00:35:14,417 Speaker 1: other challenger for a governor had even come close to 600 00:35:14,497 --> 00:35:17,897 Speaker 1: raising at this point. In the past. We've always had 601 00:35:17,937 --> 00:35:21,857 Speaker 1: ourselves a disadvantage two Democrats, both in terms of fundraising 602 00:35:22,137 --> 00:35:25,217 Speaker 1: and in terms of enrollment. But we take that fundraising 603 00:35:25,257 --> 00:35:28,457 Speaker 1: thing off the table, it becomes much more easy. Also, 604 00:35:28,737 --> 00:35:30,417 Speaker 1: he's from a part of the state that we need 605 00:35:30,457 --> 00:35:32,977 Speaker 1: to flip back. I like Trump, You like Trump, but 606 00:35:33,017 --> 00:35:35,457 Speaker 1: we know that he lost some support in the suburbs. 607 00:35:35,697 --> 00:35:38,737 Speaker 1: Lee Zeldon will win Nassau County, He'll win Suffolk County, 608 00:35:38,737 --> 00:35:41,257 Speaker 1: on both Long Island counties, and who'll win part of 609 00:35:41,257 --> 00:35:45,017 Speaker 1: the Hudson Valley. So geographically he makes the best case 610 00:35:45,137 --> 00:35:48,977 Speaker 1: for November to beat Kathy Hopell. How do we look 611 00:35:49,097 --> 00:35:53,337 Speaker 1: here going up against pocal the sitting governor, not actually 612 00:35:53,777 --> 00:35:55,977 Speaker 1: somebody who won an election to get there. But you know, 613 00:35:56,017 --> 00:35:58,777 Speaker 1: we all know Cuomo pushed to the side. She's Lieutenant 614 00:35:58,817 --> 00:36:01,097 Speaker 1: now she's the real governor or lieutenant governor. Did not 615 00:36:01,177 --> 00:36:03,537 Speaker 1: last very long, by the way I think people are realizing, 616 00:36:03,897 --> 00:36:09,217 Speaker 1: does not the machine of let's say, lack of corruption 617 00:36:09,537 --> 00:36:15,817 Speaker 1: is not the trademark of ThEC Hocoal gubernatorial period. Thus, 618 00:36:15,817 --> 00:36:19,737 Speaker 1: far Ken a Republican actually win. Joe Ken, a Republican, 619 00:36:19,817 --> 00:36:22,297 Speaker 1: actually beat Kathy Hocal in New York in this fall 620 00:36:22,817 --> 00:36:25,817 Speaker 1: this fall, will action Buck, you're a New Yorker. I 621 00:36:25,857 --> 00:36:29,577 Speaker 1: mean within our lifetime we had a Republican governor and 622 00:36:29,617 --> 00:36:33,457 Speaker 1: he served three terms. He was someone who was moderate 623 00:36:33,537 --> 00:36:35,857 Speaker 1: on many of his positions, someone who was willing to 624 00:36:35,897 --> 00:36:38,777 Speaker 1: work across the aisle when he had to. Some Republicans 625 00:36:38,777 --> 00:36:41,737 Speaker 1: didn't like everything he did, and that's fine though, But 626 00:36:41,937 --> 00:36:44,457 Speaker 1: no one can dispute the fact that the nineteen nineties 627 00:36:44,457 --> 00:36:46,657 Speaker 1: were a pretty good time for New York State. There 628 00:36:46,697 --> 00:36:48,577 Speaker 1: were a pretty good time for New York City as well, 629 00:36:48,577 --> 00:36:51,257 Speaker 1: when we had Rudy Giuliani at the Helm there also. 630 00:36:51,497 --> 00:36:53,537 Speaker 1: So I think there is some nostalgia. I think there 631 00:36:53,617 --> 00:36:56,137 Speaker 1: is the ability to win, and I think this is 632 00:36:56,177 --> 00:36:58,817 Speaker 1: the year to do it. Cuomo, for all his faults, 633 00:36:59,337 --> 00:37:01,537 Speaker 1: had a strong following. He had a lot of support 634 00:37:01,577 --> 00:37:04,777 Speaker 1: there were Cuomo sexuals. There are no hocal sexuals out 635 00:37:04,777 --> 00:37:07,937 Speaker 1: there in any corner of the Empire state. And without 636 00:37:07,977 --> 00:37:12,857 Speaker 1: those devoted followers, and without that real devoted turnout model 637 00:37:12,937 --> 00:37:15,737 Speaker 1: that Cuomo could have generated, I think it's going to 638 00:37:15,817 --> 00:37:19,017 Speaker 1: be more difficult than not for Kathey Hogel. Remember, there 639 00:37:19,057 --> 00:37:23,617 Speaker 1: are only competitive general elections in November in the Republican 640 00:37:23,777 --> 00:37:27,737 Speaker 1: ports parts of the state. So most of these congressional 641 00:37:27,737 --> 00:37:31,057 Speaker 1: districts around New York City and in Buffalo, for example, 642 00:37:31,137 --> 00:37:33,337 Speaker 1: and some of the inner cities aren't even having a 643 00:37:33,377 --> 00:37:36,457 Speaker 1: competitive congressional race. So we do have some advantages we 644 00:37:36,457 --> 00:37:39,177 Speaker 1: can work with, and I think we're in our best 645 00:37:39,177 --> 00:37:42,137 Speaker 1: position we've been in the past three cycles. What's the 646 00:37:42,177 --> 00:37:44,257 Speaker 1: single most important If you had a look at one 647 00:37:44,337 --> 00:37:48,217 Speaker 1: swing demographic in New York State that could be the 648 00:37:48,257 --> 00:37:54,297 Speaker 1: deciding factor here, it's suburban women, and like I said before, 649 00:37:54,377 --> 00:37:57,017 Speaker 1: a lot of them had issues with Donald Trump. I 650 00:37:57,057 --> 00:38:02,257 Speaker 1: think politically speaking, the rov Wade decision doesn't necessarily help 651 00:38:02,337 --> 00:38:05,697 Speaker 1: us with that demographic. But these are all people who 652 00:38:05,737 --> 00:38:08,777 Speaker 1: live in the suburbs, who commute to Manhattan every day, 653 00:38:08,777 --> 00:38:10,737 Speaker 1: commute to different parts of the city, or someone in 654 00:38:10,777 --> 00:38:13,457 Speaker 1: their family does, or someone in their family's a police 655 00:38:13,497 --> 00:38:16,617 Speaker 1: officer or something like that, and they are as tuned 656 00:38:16,657 --> 00:38:19,617 Speaker 1: in to the rising crime and dysfunction of New York 657 00:38:19,657 --> 00:38:22,737 Speaker 1: City as anyone who lives in the city proper. There 658 00:38:22,737 --> 00:38:24,777 Speaker 1: are more people who have to come to New York 659 00:38:24,777 --> 00:38:28,737 Speaker 1: City for business purposes or travel or pleasure or leisure 660 00:38:28,497 --> 00:38:31,017 Speaker 1: a regular basis than there are who actually live in 661 00:38:31,057 --> 00:38:33,657 Speaker 1: the city. So it's a big demographic of people who 662 00:38:33,777 --> 00:38:37,257 Speaker 1: aren't really counted in the city, falling apart demographic that 663 00:38:37,337 --> 00:38:40,017 Speaker 1: will have their one chance to weigh in on politics 664 00:38:40,017 --> 00:38:44,217 Speaker 1: in November. Joe Morelli of Staten Island, good to see you, Sartin, 665 00:38:44,257 --> 00:38:49,257 Speaker 1: Thanks for being here, you two. Thank you.

We'll 667 00:38:53,017 --> 00:38:55,217 Speaker 1: tell you about that long away to decision and more 668 00:38:55,297 --> 00:39:04,537 Speaker 1: coming up in quickt A sentence in the Guillan Maxwell 669 00:39:04,697 --> 00:39:08,977 Speaker 1: case and commedian Wanda Sykes has some shocking reasons why 670 00:39:09,017 --> 00:39:13,737 Speaker 1: her life isn't so great in his time her quick hits. Um, 671 00:39:14,097 --> 00:39:19,057 Speaker 1: Let's let's start with with Wanda Sykes, who is a 672 00:39:19,177 --> 00:39:21,177 Speaker 1: name that I'm for Many of you know, she's famous, 673 00:39:21,257 --> 00:39:25,257 Speaker 1: She's rich. Um. One would think that she would be, 674 00:39:25,377 --> 00:39:27,497 Speaker 1: and she's an American, what would think There's a lot 675 00:39:27,497 --> 00:39:33,577 Speaker 1: of blessings to be thankful for. But Medy Wanda Sykes 676 00:39:34,137 --> 00:39:36,417 Speaker 1: look a different tone when she was talking to Stephen 677 00:39:36,497 --> 00:39:40,457 Speaker 1: Colbert reflecting on her life, and I was also interesting 678 00:39:40,497 --> 00:39:43,337 Speaker 1: who she blamed it on watch. I'm a black, gay 679 00:39:43,417 --> 00:39:45,537 Speaker 1: woman and I have a daughter, so I'm not doing 680 00:39:45,577 --> 00:39:48,377 Speaker 1: so well right now. The problem is that middle stuff 681 00:39:48,897 --> 00:39:51,977 Speaker 1: is those states in the middle that that read stuff. 682 00:39:53,057 --> 00:39:55,337 Speaker 1: Why did I get to tell us what to do 683 00:39:55,537 --> 00:40:00,657 Speaker 1: when the majority of us live out you know, New York, California, 684 00:40:00,737 --> 00:40:03,417 Speaker 1: and we're paying for all this cray it really, I mean, right, 685 00:40:06,057 --> 00:40:09,777 Speaker 1: A lot of problems with the political analysis there in general. 686 00:40:10,657 --> 00:40:13,017 Speaker 1: I know the left and the Libs hate to hear 687 00:40:13,057 --> 00:40:15,177 Speaker 1: this or will ignore it, but you don't want to 688 00:40:15,177 --> 00:40:18,977 Speaker 1: get your constitutional law analysis from comedians. Just as a 689 00:40:19,817 --> 00:40:22,777 Speaker 1: basic rule of a rule of thumb, I think probably 690 00:40:22,777 --> 00:40:26,137 Speaker 1: a good place to be. But also in the blaming 691 00:40:26,137 --> 00:40:31,057 Speaker 1: of the red states, it'sn't the oldest, most boring, ploy imaginable, right, Yes, 692 00:40:31,137 --> 00:40:32,697 Speaker 1: blaming the red First of all, there are a lot 693 00:40:32,737 --> 00:40:35,177 Speaker 1: of Democrats who leave in these so called red states, 694 00:40:35,217 --> 00:40:39,577 Speaker 1: but it's neither here nor there. NBC News report came 695 00:40:39,617 --> 00:40:42,177 Speaker 1: out today. Well here's just an NBC News report. Convicted 696 00:40:42,177 --> 00:40:46,057 Speaker 1: sex traffier Geelan Maxwell was sentenced to twenty years in 697 00:40:46,097 --> 00:40:49,057 Speaker 1: prison for recruiting and grooming teenage girls to be sexually 698 00:40:49,097 --> 00:40:55,337 Speaker 1: abused by Jeffrey Epstein. Now, this is a this is 699 00:40:55,337 --> 00:40:58,097 Speaker 1: a considerable prison sentence. I know there are people who 700 00:40:58,097 --> 00:41:01,577 Speaker 1: will say that she should have gotten more. One problem, 701 00:41:01,657 --> 00:41:03,697 Speaker 1: the one thing that's difficult to handle with the whole 702 00:41:03,857 --> 00:41:08,737 Speaker 1: Epstein criminal saga is how is it that there were 703 00:41:08,737 --> 00:41:11,897 Speaker 1: no other big names that were brought into this. Epstein 704 00:41:11,897 --> 00:41:15,657 Speaker 1: and Maxwell were by all accounts, running a blackmail operation. 705 00:41:16,457 --> 00:41:20,657 Speaker 1: Who were they blackmailing? Where is the evidence of the blackmail? 706 00:41:22,017 --> 00:41:24,257 Speaker 1: If you look into this, you'll find out that seems 707 00:41:24,417 --> 00:41:28,617 Speaker 1: very strange that that never really came out, never really 708 00:41:28,617 --> 00:41:32,457 Speaker 1: seemed to get it clear. So all the surveillance operations 709 00:41:32,497 --> 00:41:35,297 Speaker 1: they had going on, who were they surveilling. We know 710 00:41:35,337 --> 00:41:37,097 Speaker 1: that there were some people that had launched or went 711 00:41:37,137 --> 00:41:39,377 Speaker 1: to the so called pedophile Island, but they say they 712 00:41:39,377 --> 00:41:42,777 Speaker 1: didn't do anything. Well, actually, who was engaged in the 713 00:41:43,137 --> 00:41:46,937 Speaker 1: activities here, the criminal activities with women who were being 714 00:41:46,937 --> 00:41:50,177 Speaker 1: sex trafficked? Never got that answer somehow seems strange to me. 715 00:41:50,817 --> 00:41:54,337 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, by the way, is still making the rounds, 716 00:41:54,457 --> 00:41:58,137 Speaker 1: and here she is with the usual or democracy is 717 00:41:58,177 --> 00:42:01,377 Speaker 1: at stake blah blah blah. Watch I really can't. But 718 00:42:01,497 --> 00:42:04,137 Speaker 1: what I don't know well, But what I can't imagine 719 00:42:04,297 --> 00:42:07,297 Speaker 1: is staying as active and outspoken as I can, because 720 00:42:07,337 --> 00:42:10,017 Speaker 1: I think I think our country is really on the 721 00:42:10,177 --> 00:42:14,417 Speaker 1: Precipice scale. I think that we are looking at not 722 00:42:14,537 --> 00:42:19,017 Speaker 1: only the erosion of these rights, the throwing the door 723 00:42:19,097 --> 00:42:25,417 Speaker 1: open to unfettered, unregulated gun access, but we're also looking 724 00:42:25,457 --> 00:42:29,377 Speaker 1: at dismantling the federal government, how it protects our air 725 00:42:29,537 --> 00:42:33,217 Speaker 1: and our water and everything else. Democracies at state. We're 726 00:42:33,217 --> 00:42:35,937 Speaker 1: looking at the January sixth hearing. I do you think 727 00:42:35,937 --> 00:42:38,257 Speaker 1: the democracy is a state as we sit here today? 728 00:42:38,297 --> 00:42:41,017 Speaker 1: I do well anything come of these hearings. People say, 729 00:42:41,057 --> 00:42:43,617 Speaker 1: some say it's a waste of time. I think these 730 00:42:43,657 --> 00:42:47,737 Speaker 1: hearings it is a waste of time unless you are 731 00:42:47,817 --> 00:42:51,977 Speaker 1: a live wine mom without kids but cats who sits 732 00:42:51,977 --> 00:42:55,137 Speaker 1: around all day watching the January sixth insurrection like it's 733 00:42:55,137 --> 00:42:59,337 Speaker 1: a soap opera. Oh my gosh, any moment now ridiculous. 734 00:42:59,337 --> 00:43:02,217 Speaker 1: But Hilary is ridiculous all the stuff she says there. Yes, 735 00:43:02,257 --> 00:43:05,577 Speaker 1: our democracy is in such danger from unregulated gun buying, 736 00:43:05,617 --> 00:43:08,577 Speaker 1: which she just touns so many laws about guns and canty. 737 00:43:08,777 --> 00:43:10,857 Speaker 1: There are so many laws about guns that the Libs 738 00:43:10,897 --> 00:43:14,057 Speaker 1: can't even keep them straight. And that hasn't changed. All 739 00:43:14,097 --> 00:43:16,777 Speaker 1: that's changed is you can play this game of you're 740 00:43:16,777 --> 00:43:19,497 Speaker 1: not actually going to issue permits to law abiding citizens 741 00:43:19,497 --> 00:43:22,737 Speaker 1: who want a carry permit for a handgun.
