Iran Murders American Troops...while Biden Funds the Ayatollah, plus Texas BATTLES Biden on the Border · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

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

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

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