BIDEN'S Iran Policy Cost American Military Members Their Lives on Sunday! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: All right, I got a couple of different things that
0:03
Speaker 1: we need to talk about. We're going to talk about
0:05
Speaker 1: the US troop attacks that have happened in Jordan, and
0:08
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you the details on that first
0:10
Speaker 1: and foremost, but I want to let you know we're
0:13
Speaker 1: also going to talk about what's happening at the border,
0:16
Speaker 1: and it looks like the President United States of America
0:19
Speaker 1: has put basically what the equivalent of sanctions would be
0:21
Speaker 1: on Texas for Texas fighting the federal government to secure
0:25
Speaker 1: the southern border, to protect the state of Texas.
0:28
Speaker 2: Also many other governors.
0:29
Speaker 1: Getting involved now backing Governor Greg Abbott. I'm going to
0:33
Speaker 1: have some more on that coming up in a moment,
0:35
Speaker 1: but before we get to that, I want to get
0:37
Speaker 1: the news on this attack.
0:38
Speaker 2: Now.
0:39
Speaker 1: These numbers could change. I want to make that very
0:42
Speaker 1: very clear. At the time of recording this, I want
0:45
Speaker 1: you to understand what we do know right now about
0:48
Speaker 1: the American troops that were killed in Jordan near the
0:52
Speaker 1: Syrian border. Early reports indicate three US service members were killed.
0:57
Speaker 1: Several dozen were reported in injured from this attack, and
1:03
Speaker 1: this is on top of the one hundred and fifty
1:05
Speaker 1: attacks by the Iranian controlled forces on Americans in.
1:08
Speaker 2: Iraq and Syria.
1:10
Speaker 1: Now it's infuriating because this is happening and they know
1:15
Speaker 1: that they don't have to worry about America really responding.
1:19
Speaker 1: That's the part that's so frustrating about this. The second
1:22
Speaker 1: part of this is the fact that this is incredibly avoidable.
1:26
Speaker 1: It is something that we didn't really have to put
1:29
Speaker 1: up with at all, and we had a strong leader
1:31
Speaker 1: in Donald Trump and the White House. Now, because we
1:33
Speaker 1: have a week leader and Joe Biden who refuses to
1:35
Speaker 1: protect American interests around the world, we now have over
1:38
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty attacks by Iranian controlled forces on
1:42
Speaker 1: Americans in Iraq and Syria. Now, let me just give
1:46
Speaker 1: you some of the details. As Republicans are now enraged
1:50
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill, as they should be for US military
1:53
Speaker 1: deaths in Jordan. He left our troops as sitting ducks,
1:57
Speaker 1: is how it's been described by republic consent her Tom Cotton.
2:01
Speaker 1: He put out a statement, and this is a former
2:03
Speaker 1: military veteran saying, quote, Joe Biden in bolden Iran for
2:07
Speaker 1: years by tolerating attacks on our troops, that's absolutely right.
2:11
Speaker 1: We continue to allow them to attack our troops, and
2:13
Speaker 1: we haven't stopped them. That's why there's between one hundred
2:15
Speaker 1: and fifteen and one hundred and seventy attacks by these
2:18
Speaker 1: Iranian controlled forces so far, with the President doing nothing
2:22
Speaker 1: to stop it, bribing the Iatolis with billions of dollars.
2:26
Speaker 1: Cotton goes on to write and appeasing them to no end.
2:30
Speaker 1: He left our troops as sitting ducks, and now there
2:32
Speaker 1: are three dead and dozens wounded. Sadly, as I predicted
2:36
Speaker 1: this would happen months ago, Senator Tom Cotton said the statement,
2:39
Speaker 1: He's absolutely right. There were many that were concerned that
2:42
Speaker 1: this is going to happen and continue to happen.
2:45
Speaker 2: Cotton went on.
2:45
Speaker 1: To say, on behalf of my state of Arkansas, I
2:48
Speaker 1: send my deepest condolence is the families of our brave
2:51
Speaker 1: fallen warriors. May God comfort them as He welcomes their
2:55
Speaker 1: loved ones into his embrace, and may God quickly and
2:58
Speaker 1: completely heal their wounds wounded comrades. Senator Lindsay Graham also
3:03
Speaker 1: coming out and saying the Biden Administration's policy of deterrence
3:07
Speaker 1: against Iran has failed quote unquote miserably, saying, quote there
3:11
Speaker 1: have been over one hundred attacks against US forces in
3:13
Speaker 1: the region. Iran is undeterred, adding i am sending my
3:17
Speaker 1: condolence as the families of fallen heroes in Jordan, and
3:20
Speaker 1: I'm also wishing a full recovery to those that are injured.
3:23
Speaker 1: Our forces in Jordan Syria are there to protect the
3:25
Speaker 1: American homelan and provide stability in a troubled region. Their
3:29
Speaker 1: service and sacrifice will always be appreciated. They are true heroes,
3:34
Speaker 1: yet the Biden administration doesn't treat them like heroes at all.
3:37
Speaker 1: We just got a new update, by the way, from
3:40
Speaker 1: US Central Command. They are now confirming again three US
3:44
Speaker 1: service members were killed twenty five injured from a one
3:48
Speaker 1: way attack drone that hit a military base in northern
3:52
Speaker 1: Jordan near the Syrian border. These Iranian proxy forces have
3:57
Speaker 1: targeted US troops in the region since the Homosters had
4:00
Speaker 1: attack in Israel on October the seventh, which killed more
4:03
Speaker 1: than one thousand, two hundred innocent Israelis. There have now
4:08
Speaker 1: been more than one hundred and fifty attacks against US
4:10
Speaker 1: troops in Iraq and Syrias since mid October.
4:13
Speaker 2: Let me say that again.
4:14
Speaker 1: Since mid October, one hundred and fifty attacks what is
4:18
Speaker 1: the Biden administration done to stop it? Not a damn
4:21
Speaker 1: thing with at least one critically injured. Well, guess what.
4:25
Speaker 1: Sunday's attack was the first time in these one hundred
4:28
Speaker 1: and fifty attacks that US troops have been killed in
4:30
Speaker 1: such an attack. In recent months, Cotton and Graham, both
4:33
Speaker 1: military veterans, called for retaliation. Graham called on the Biden
4:37
Speaker 1: administration to strike targets of significance inside of Iran, not
4:41
Speaker 1: only issal reprisal for the killing of our forces, but
4:44
Speaker 1: as a deterrent against future aggression.
4:47
Speaker 2: Which is the only thing that Iran has ever understood.
4:49
Speaker 1: You can go back decades to prove that through facts,
4:53
Speaker 1: not rhetoric quote. The only thing the Iranian regime understands
4:57
Speaker 1: is forced. By the way, Graham is absolutely right in
4:59
Speaker 1: his res respond saying the only thing they understand is force.
5:02
Speaker 2: And when you don't respond with force, guess what happened.
5:05
Speaker 1: Guess what happens when the only thing that I mean,
5:09
Speaker 1: if you don't respond with force with Iran, they will
5:12
Speaker 1: continue to keep moving forward. That's why we've had one
5:15
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty plus attacks since October. He went on
5:18
Speaker 1: to say, until they pay a price with their infrastructure
5:21
Speaker 1: and their personnel. The attacks on US troops will continue.
5:25
Speaker 1: Sara Charry, Austin's efforts to deter aggression against our forces
5:28
Speaker 1: in the region has may has failed miserably. I've long
5:33
Speaker 1: since lost confidence in the Biden National security team to
5:35
Speaker 1: deter Iran. If they do not change their policies now,
5:39
Speaker 1: more American service members in the region will pay the price.
5:42
Speaker 1: Hit I ran now and hit them hard. That is
5:45
Speaker 1: what was said again from Lindsey Graham about what's going
5:50
Speaker 1: on there now.
5:51
Speaker 2: I also want you to understand.
5:53
Speaker 1: That even on CNN, they're saying that America is you know,
5:56
Speaker 1: trying to deter them has not worked. Now, this was
6:00
Speaker 1: that plan by Lloyd Austin, and it was appeasement plan,
6:03
Speaker 1: and we'll give you billions of dollars and access to
6:05
Speaker 1: funds and then you might not hit us.
6:08
Speaker 2: Take a listen to this.
6:10
Speaker 3: Is arn It was a violent message sent by the
6:13
Speaker 3: United States to these fighters.
6:16
Speaker 2: The question is, I think, what does it take to
6:18
Speaker 2: send a message a total deterrent efrect to stop these
6:21
Speaker 2: attacks taking place.
6:24
Speaker 3: Well, the US has tried to send that message repeatedly
6:26
Speaker 3: to Iran and its proxies not to attack US forces,
6:30
Speaker 3: not to attack commercial interests or block major waterways. The
6:33
Speaker 3: problem is that message has not gotten through. As we've seen,
6:37
Speaker 3: the US has had carrier strike groups as well as
6:40
Speaker 3: other forces in the region to try to send that
6:43
Speaker 3: message of deterrence. And yet over the course of the
6:46
Speaker 3: past month and a half or so, we have seen
6:49
Speaker 3: the Houthis launch more than one hundred missiles, drones and
6:54
Speaker 3: cruise missiles at commercial vessels in the Red Sea. And that,
6:58
Speaker 3: of course is in addition to all of the Iranian
7:00
Speaker 3: proxies who attacked US forces in Iraq and Syria. The
7:04
Speaker 3: Huthis and Iranian proxy that have operated out of Yemen
7:07
Speaker 3: have repeatedly attacked commercial vessels and that has forced many
7:11
Speaker 3: major shipping companies to avoid the Red Sea. In response,
7:15
Speaker 3: the US set up an international coalition to try to
7:18
Speaker 3: secure shipping routes there called Operation Prosperity Guardian, and Mersk,
7:23
Speaker 3: one of the largest shipping companies in the world, was
7:26
Speaker 3: pretty much the first company to say, okay, with this setup,
7:29
Speaker 3: we will start going through the Red Sea again. But
7:31
Speaker 3: here over the weekend we saw the results of that.
7:33
Speaker 3: US Central Command says the merk Hangzhu came under attack
7:37
Speaker 3: first from an unidentified object of some sort, so perhaps
7:40
Speaker 3: a drone or a missile, and then four Houthy fast
7:43
Speaker 3: boats that attacked the ship and tried to board it.
7:46
Speaker 3: US Central Command says they came within twenty meters of
7:48
Speaker 3: the ship, so about sixty feet at that point. US
7:52
Speaker 3: helicopters from navy vessels in the area responded. They say
7:56
Speaker 3: they were fired upon and returned fire, sinking three of
7:59
Speaker 3: the Houthi ships and killing the crews.
8:00
Speaker 2: The fourth ship sped away.
8:03
Speaker 3: The Biden administration says they are not seeking a wider
8:05
Speaker 3: conflict in the region, but that's not THEIRS to determine unilaterally.
8:09
Speaker 3: Now we'll see how the Hufis respond. Now we'll see
8:12
Speaker 3: how Iran responds at this point, because it has been
8:15
Speaker 3: the entire region frankly a powder keg. The US may
8:18
Speaker 3: have tried to avoid a conflict with Iranian proxies largely,
8:22
Speaker 3: but here it is.
8:24
Speaker 2: And now the question where does it go and.
8:26
Speaker 3: When will shipping companies feel comfortable coming back to the
8:29
Speaker 3: Red Sea after we saw mirsk as you pointed out,
8:31
Speaker 3: just announce that they will once again pause shipping through
8:34
Speaker 3: one of the world's most critical waterways.
8:37
Speaker 2: One of the most critical waterways, and this is what's happening.
8:40
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, by the way, coming out saying the three
8:42
Speaker 1: service members killed in Jordan marks a horrible day for America,
8:46
Speaker 1: and also saying that this was something that was avoidable.
8:50
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, make it clear.
8:51
Speaker 1: You get me back in the White House and things
8:54
Speaker 1: will change. Quote did drone attack on a US military
8:58
Speaker 1: installation Jordan, killing three three American service members and wounding
9:01
Speaker 1: many more marks a horrible day for America. My most
9:04
Speaker 1: profound some of these go to the families of the
9:06
Speaker 1: brave service members we've lost. I asked all Americans to
9:09
Speaker 1: join me in praying for those who have been wounded,
9:11
Speaker 1: Trump posted on True Social He then slammed Biden's foreign
9:15
Speaker 1: policy towards Iran, who has supported a spat of attacks
9:18
Speaker 1: against US troops in the Middle East since mid October, saying, quote,
9:22
Speaker 1: this brazen attack on the United States has yet another
9:25
Speaker 1: horrific and tragic consequence of Joe Biden's weakness and surrender.
9:30
Speaker 2: Donald Trump went on to say.
9:32
Speaker 1: He also said the former president also compared his administration's
9:37
Speaker 1: policies towards Iran, which applied maximum pressure to squeezing a
9:41
Speaker 1: rand of funds for more attacks against US troops. In addition,
9:45
Speaker 1: Trump to warn Iranian forces not to harass US ships
9:48
Speaker 1: and the Arabian Gulf and ordered to strike that killed
9:51
Speaker 1: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard COOT forces leader Soamani, who was
9:56
Speaker 1: responsible for attacks against US troops. Remember when he did that,
10:01
Speaker 1: Democrats came out and said that Donald Trump was quote
10:03
Speaker 1: trying to start War War three. They hated that we
10:07
Speaker 1: killed an actual terrorist who had ordered strikes to kill
10:09
Speaker 1: Americans and was successful at killing Americans. And they said
10:13
Speaker 1: when Donald Trump responded that way against solimony, that he
10:16
Speaker 1: was starting World War three and shouldn't have the nuclear codes.
10:19
Speaker 1: Do you remember that three years ago? Quote Trump said,
10:23
Speaker 1: I was Iran was weak. Three years ago, Iran was
10:27
Speaker 1: broke and totally under control. Thanks to my maximum pressure policy.
10:30
Speaker 1: The Iranian regime could barely scrap two dollars together to
10:34
Speaker 1: fund their terrorist proxies.
10:36
Speaker 2: Then Joe Biden.
10:37
Speaker 1: Came in and gave Iran billions of dollars, which the
10:41
Speaker 1: regime has used to spread bloodshed and carnage throughout the
10:44
Speaker 1: Middle East. He criticized Biden's foreign policy overall and called
10:48
Speaker 1: for an immediate return to peace. Three strength saying this
10:50
Speaker 1: attack quote would never all caps have happened if I
10:54
Speaker 1: was present, not even a chance, just like the Iranian
10:57
Speaker 1: back to mass attack on Israel would have never happened,
11:00
Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine would have never happened, and we
11:03
Speaker 1: would right now have peace through the world. Instead, we
11:06
Speaker 1: have that we are on the brink of World War
11:08
Speaker 1: IIE this terrible Dasia and yet more proof that we
11:12
Speaker 1: need an immediate return to peace through strength so that
11:15
Speaker 1: there will be no more chaos, no more destruction, and
11:18
Speaker 1: no more loss of precious American lives. Our country cannot
11:22
Speaker 1: survive with Joe Biden as commander in chief. That is
11:26
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump had to say in response to all
11:29
Speaker 1: of this.
11:30
Speaker 2: Now you have these at least two.
11:31
Speaker 1: Dozen that were injured in the Iranian back militia has
11:34
Speaker 1: also claimed responsibility for this, and now there are sinters
11:38
Speaker 1: that are saying it's time for us to hit back.
11:41
Speaker 1: Some are even saying it's time for us to bomb
11:44
Speaker 1: the capital city of Iran. Now you get to decide
11:47
Speaker 1: if you think that is a good idea or not.
11:49
Speaker 1: But what I will tell you is it is very
11:51
Speaker 1: clear now that we are in a situation where the
11:56
Speaker 1: Iranian government has made a calculated decision that they can
12:00
Speaker 1: do whatever they want to do right now, and there
12:03
Speaker 1: will be no real military retaliation against Iran's terrorist forces,
12:09
Speaker 1: not only in Iran but across the Middle East.
12:12
Speaker 2: Let me read you this from Tom Cotton.
12:14
Speaker 1: He said, quote the only answer to these attacks must
12:16
Speaker 1: be devastating military retaliation against Iran's terrorist forces, both in
12:21
Speaker 1: Iran and across the Middle East. Anything else will confirm
12:24
Speaker 1: Joe Biden as a coward, unworthy of being commander in
12:28
Speaker 1: chief and then normally a meek and mile guy. Senator
12:33
Speaker 1: John Cornyan, a Republican from Texas, also called for retaliation.
12:38
Speaker 1: He had a very simple two word tweet target Tehran.
12:44
Speaker 1: This in response to three US troops killed in that
12:47
Speaker 1: drun attack in Jordan, at least two other dozens injured,
12:50
Speaker 1: and he said quote target Iran. Representative Mike Waltz said
12:55
Speaker 1: it was only a matter of time before Biden's appeasement
12:59
Speaker 1: strategy towards got American service members killed.
13:03
Speaker 2: Tragic and preventable.
13:06
Speaker 1: And when you talk about this election, elections having consequences,
13:11
Speaker 1: this is exactly what many of us were talking about.
13:15
Speaker 1: When you have some Joe Biden as the president who
13:18
Speaker 1: is weak the world and bad leaders in the world
13:21
Speaker 1: will respond and grab whatever they can, and that is
13:24
Speaker 1: exactly what these terrorists are doing right now. All right,
13:29
Speaker 1: I want to tell you real quick about Patriot Mobile.
13:31
Speaker 1: For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian
13:35
Speaker 1: conservative wireless provider. And when I say only trust me,
13:40
Speaker 1: they're literally the only one. Patriot Mobile offers dependable nationwide coverage,
13:45
Speaker 1: giving you the ability to access all three major networks.
13:48
Speaker 2: What does that mean to you?
13:48
Speaker 1: It means you get the same coverage that you're accustomed to,
13:51
Speaker 1: but you're doing it without funding. The Left. You may
13:55
Speaker 1: not know the Big Mobile gives massive donations to Planned
13:59
Speaker 1: Parent Who, to Democratic candidates, causes and organizations. Why give
14:05
Speaker 1: your money to a group of people that literally hate
14:08
Speaker 1: your values, hate what you stand for, hate your family,
14:13
Speaker 1: traditional Christian values. That is why I switch to Patriot Mobile.
14:17
Speaker 1: And when you switch, you're sending a message that you
14:20
Speaker 1: support free speech, religious freedom, the sanctity of life, the
14:24
Speaker 1: Second Amendment, as well as our military, our veterans, and
14:27

Speaker 1: activation when you use the offer code ferguson. That's Patriotmobile
15:06
Speaker 1: dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven to two Patriot.
15:11
Speaker 1: There is something new that has happened that I want
15:13
Speaker 1: you to understand, and it is basically, the Biden administration
15:17
Speaker 1: has now put sanctions and that's the only way to
15:20
Speaker 1: describe this on Texas.
15:23
Speaker 2: In fact, you.
15:24
Speaker 1: Could now make the argument that there are that there
15:26
Speaker 1: are more sanctions that are that have real meat and potatoes,
15:32
Speaker 1: like real harm to the economy in Texas than there
15:36
Speaker 1: are on Iran right now by the Biden regime. Now,
15:41
Speaker 1: this all happened after the Razor Wire Court ruling came
15:47
Speaker 1: down from the Supreme Court five to four this past week,
15:50
Speaker 1: and this past week, the Supreme Court ruled that the
15:53
Speaker 1: federal government could go and break through the razor wire if.
15:58
Speaker 2: They needed to.
16:00
Speaker 1: Now, let me also say this about that razor wire,
16:03
Speaker 1: so you understand, because this is also extremely important, the
16:07
Speaker 1: razor wire. The federal government or actually the Supreme Court
16:10
Speaker 1: did not rule that the state of Texas had to
16:12
Speaker 1: take down the razor wire, all right, I want to
16:15
Speaker 1: make that clear. That's number one. The government did not
16:19
Speaker 1: or that the Supreme Court didn't say that the governor
16:22
Speaker 1: had to remove it. In fact, the ruling also did
16:26
Speaker 1: not state that they couldn't put down more razor wire
16:30
Speaker 1: to protect the border. What they said was that the
16:32
Speaker 1: federal government could go through that razor wire.
16:36
Speaker 2: That's it. That's all it's said.
16:38
Speaker 1: And so what's happened now is you have a real
16:41
Speaker 1: and I think you really are on the brink of
16:44
Speaker 1: a major showdown between Texas and the Biden regime now
16:50
Speaker 1: in retaliation for Texas defending their border, because the US
16:55
Speaker 1: government is failing to not pass new laws just in
17:00
Speaker 1: force the laws that are on the book with immigration laws,
17:03
Speaker 1: and they're not protecting our southern border. It's a clear
17:05
Speaker 1: invasion when you have millions of people coming in twenty
17:08
Speaker 1: million plus. When you have ten thousand a day coming
17:11
Speaker 1: across the southern border into Texas alone, that is an invasion.
17:15
Speaker 1: And when they're obviously not willing to protect the southern border,
17:19
Speaker 1: and that's something that's very very real and obvious now
17:23
Speaker 1: that they're not willing to protect it, they want an
17:24
Speaker 1: open border.
17:26
Speaker 2: Texas has a right to defend itself.
17:27
Speaker 1: In fact, there's twenty five other governors that are now
17:30
Speaker 1: cited with Texas saying we will help you defend your
17:32
Speaker 1: border because we believe that you should be able to
17:35
Speaker 1: protect and defend your border at all costs. You have
17:38
Speaker 1: a right to have laws that are actually used correctly.
17:44
Speaker 1: So what did the Biden administration do? They in essence
17:48
Speaker 1: put sanctions on Texas? What do I mean by that?
17:51
Speaker 1: The White House within hours of the Governor Greg Abbott
17:56
Speaker 1: of Texas coming out and saying, we're going to continue
17:58
Speaker 1: to put down razor wire, We're going to continue to
18:00
Speaker 1: secure our border because the federal government is failing to
18:05
Speaker 1: abide by the laws that we currently have in the books. Remember,
18:07
Speaker 1: they're not asking for new laws, they're not asking for
18:09
Speaker 1: new protections.
18:10
Speaker 2: They're saying, just.
18:13
Speaker 1: Follow the laws that are on the books, and they're
18:15
Speaker 1: not doing it. They're looking the other way. And so now,
18:19
Speaker 1: in retaliation for Texas doing this, the Biden administration said,
18:24
Speaker 1: all right, we're going to crush you Texas every way
18:26
Speaker 1: we know how. We're going to crush you as a state.
18:29
Speaker 1: We're going to crush you, crush you in a way
18:31
Speaker 1: that you'll never be able to recover from. And therefore
18:35
Speaker 1: you'll be forced to stop the razor wire that you're
18:37
Speaker 1: putting down, and then you'll be forced to stop doing
18:40
Speaker 1: what you're doing at the southern border.
18:42
Speaker 2: How do I know this?
18:44
Speaker 1: The White House has now come out in retaliation for
18:48
Speaker 1: Texas defitting their border, halting the permitting process for several
18:53
Speaker 1: proposed liquified natural gas export terminal projects. And they're saying
18:58
Speaker 1: they're doing this over the their potential impacts on the
19:01
Speaker 1: climate change. This is an unprecedented move by the Biden administration,
19:12
Speaker 1: a move that environmentalists have demanded in recent months, a
19:16
Speaker 1: move that will cost tens of thousands of American jobs
19:20
Speaker 1: as well as our dependence on foreign gas and oil.
19:26
Speaker 1: This was announced Friday morning as the White House was
19:30
Speaker 1: taking out the weekend trash, and apparently the White House
19:34
Speaker 1: and Department of Energy said the pause would occur while
19:38
Speaker 1: federal officials conduct a rigorous environmental review assessing projects carbon emissions,
19:45
Speaker 1: which they now say could take well over a year
19:48
Speaker 1: to complete. You know how fast the government is at
19:51
Speaker 1: doing things like this, by the way, just look at
19:54
Speaker 1: government when how long it takes into finish a damn
19:57
Speaker 1: road in this country or put up an new bridge
20:00
Speaker 1: in this country. So imagine how long they can stall
20:04
Speaker 1: to do their environmental assessment.
20:08
Speaker 2: Now, this happens as.
20:09
Speaker 1: A result of climate activists, they say in recent weeks
20:12
Speaker 1: and months that have gotten the attention of the White House.
20:15
Speaker 2: I don't believe that for a moment.
20:16
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't believe they're doing this because
20:19
Speaker 1: of Climate Act, because of climb activists. I think they
20:22
Speaker 1: were doing this to put sanctions on Texas, saying to Texas.
20:25
Speaker 2: You've gotten out of line and we're going to hurt you. Now.
20:29
Speaker 1: The cover story for this, though, is also disgusting, and
20:32
Speaker 1: I would argue embarrassing, and let me explain what I
20:34
Speaker 1: mean by that.
20:36
Speaker 2: The White House's Climate.
20:37
Speaker 1: Team also reportedly made a crucial decision to delay approval
20:43
Speaker 1: of a major natural gas project, the.
20:47
Speaker 2: A pass called the CP two.
20:51
Speaker 1: This decision also took place after meeting.
20:54
Speaker 2: Listen carefully, who's in charge of this country?
20:57
Speaker 3: Right?
20:57
Speaker 1: Remember when the Biden administration said the adults are in charge.
21:00
Speaker 1: The adults are back in charge, and the media went
21:02
Speaker 1: berserk over that line, going, yes, the adults are back
21:06
Speaker 1: in charge. Remember that the adults are back in charge.
21:11
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, the adults are back in charge. The White
21:15
Speaker 1: House's climate team reportedly made this critical decision to delay
21:19
Speaker 1: the approval of a major natural gas project after a
21:24
Speaker 1: meeting took place with a twenty five year old social
21:27
Speaker 1: media tick talk influencer. Key climate advisors and decision makers
21:34
Speaker 1: in the White House reportedly met with his tick talker.
21:37
Speaker 2: Guy by the name of Alex from.
21:39
Speaker 1: Colorado, who has organized an online campaign demanding that the
21:43
Speaker 1: administration killed the project. The Biden administration continues to not
21:47
Speaker 1: only fight against the use of American natural gas, but
21:50
Speaker 1: the pausing of projects they now say could eradicate seventy
21:54
Speaker 1: thousand jobs. So Joe Biden decides to put sanctions on
21:59
Speaker 1: Texas and costs seventy thousand American workers their livelihood. Projects
22:05
Speaker 1: involving billions of dollars they are now.
22:07
Speaker 2: Admitting will be disrupted.
22:10
Speaker 1: Critics contend that President Biden's actions will hurt not only
22:13
Speaker 1: our economy, but here's something else that's going to happen
22:17
Speaker 1: that will hurt Europe's capacity to power its economy without
22:20
Speaker 1: relying on Russian natural gas. So now Russia has more
22:26
Speaker 1: money to go and fight against Ukraine. I thought we
22:31
Speaker 1: were against Russia taking over that part of the world,
22:34
Speaker 1: but apparently not. Maybe this is all part of Biden's
22:37
Speaker 1: plan to allow for Russia to take over Ukraine and
22:40
Speaker 1: other countries next to Russia, because this plan to kill
22:46
Speaker 1: American liquefied natural gas is only going to allow for
22:49
Speaker 1: Russia to make it significantly more money.
22:53
Speaker 2: Now.
22:53
Speaker 1: Biden, back in September of twenty nineteen, if you remember,
22:57
Speaker 1: promise to end fossil fuels. He made it very clear
23:01
Speaker 1: that it was his goal to end fossil fuels, But
23:03
Speaker 1: this time the timing was within hours of saying how
23:07
Speaker 1: dare you right? How dare you? How dare you Texas?
23:15
Speaker 2: Do this? I'll show you.
23:17
Speaker 1: You think you can stand up to us, Okay, let's go.
23:21
Speaker 2: You want to see what happens. Will show you what happens.
23:25
Speaker 1: We're going to put sanctions on you as a state,
23:28
Speaker 1: and when we put sanctions on you as a state,
23:33
Speaker 1: you'll see that you don't screw with the United States government.
23:38
Speaker 1: Let me also say something else about just comparing and
23:42
Speaker 1: contrasting this for a second. We're living in a country
23:45
Speaker 1: now where the President of United States of America is
23:49
Speaker 1: purposely trying to hurt another state in America, people that
23:53
Speaker 1: he's supposed to represent in that state and costing that
23:57
Speaker 1: state more than seventy thousand jobs while helping Rush in
24:00
Speaker 1: the process. This move by the Biden administration to shut
24:05
Speaker 1: down these portals, to not approve them in Texas is
24:11
Speaker 1: no more than him putting sanctions on Texas and telling
24:16
Speaker 1: Texas you better get in line, like you better get
24:20
Speaker 1: in line, and if you screw with us, we will
24:25
Speaker 1: crush you as a state.
24:27
Speaker 2: The President of United States America has not done this
24:29
Speaker 2: on Iran.
24:31
Speaker 1: These sanctions, and that's what I'm going to call them,
24:33
Speaker 1: on Texas are bigger than the sanctions that he has
24:35
Speaker 1: on Iran because he's lifted the sanctions on Iran. He's
24:39
Speaker 1: not enforcing some of the sanctions that we have on
24:42
Speaker 1: Iran right now. Also, let's be clear about that, and
24:46
Speaker 1: you have a president and a team around him who said, Hey,
24:48
Speaker 1: this is how we're going to roll here. This is
24:51
Speaker 1: going to be amazing. We'll send a very clear message.
24:54
Speaker 1: Then this is what is going to happen.
24:57
Speaker 2: Now.
24:57
Speaker 1: This is after he is allowed for a straight up
24:59
Speaker 1: in into this country because the state of Texas and
25:04
Speaker 1: the federal governor in the showdown at the border, Texas
25:07
Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott asserts that Texas's constitutional rights to defend
25:11
Speaker 1: and protect itself are important. He says, it's clearly an
25:16
Speaker 1: ongoing crisis the southern border, and we have the right
25:19
Speaker 1: to defend ourselves. Governor Abbot of Texas release a statement
25:24
Speaker 1: faulting President Joe Biden for refusing to enforce immigration laws
25:27
Speaker 1: in the state. Abbot statement, in part, said, this President
25:31
Speaker 1: Biden has violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws
25:36
Speaker 1: enacted by Congress.
25:37
Speaker 2: Instead of prosecuting immigrants.
25:41
Speaker 1: For the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has
25:47
Speaker 1: sent his lawyers into federal court to sue Texas for
25:50
Speaker 1: taking action to secure the border. Now you understand why
25:54
Speaker 1: this crisis is in an accent. This is being done
25:56
Speaker 1: on purpose by the Biden administration. President Biden has instructed
26:01
Speaker 1: his agents to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention
26:04
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants, The effect is to illegally allow their
26:11
Speaker 1: well mass parole and release into the United States. Greg Abbott,
26:17
Speaker 1: the governor of Texas, also said, by wasting taxpayer dollars
26:20
Speaker 1: to tear open Texas border security infrastructure, President Biden has
26:26
Speaker 1: enticed illegal immigrants away from the twenty eight legal entry
26:30
Speaker 1: points along this state's southern border bridges where nobody drowns,
26:36
Speaker 1: and into the dangerous waters of the Rio Grand instead
26:39
Speaker 1: that they're now going. Abbott also included his analysis of
26:44
Speaker 1: the Framer's intent by saying this about our country's heritage
26:47
Speaker 1: and history and the laws that matter, Like our constitution
26:51
Speaker 1: quote James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and the other visionaries who
26:57
Speaker 1: wrote the US Constitution foresaw that state should not be
27:01
Speaker 1: left to the mercy of a lawless president who does
27:04
Speaker 1: nothing to stop external threats like Cartel's smuggling millions of
27:07
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants across the border. That is why the Framers
27:11
Speaker 1: included both Article four, which promises that the federal government
27:16
Speaker 1: shall protect each state against invasion, and Article one Clause three,
27:21
Speaker 1: which acknowledges that these states sovereign interest in protecting their borders.
27:27
Speaker 1: This statement comes after the five to four US Supreme
27:31
Speaker 1: Court order reversing a temporary order by the Court of
27:34
Speaker 1: Appeals for the Fifth Circuit stopped the Border Patrol from
27:39
Speaker 1: cutting wire and fencing installed by the State of Texas.
27:43
Speaker 1: The decision, by the way, means the matter was sent
27:45
Speaker 1: back to the lower court as ongoing litigation will continue
27:49
Speaker 1: and they're going to hear these oral arguments.
27:51
Speaker 2: On the eighth of February, Governor.
27:55
Speaker 1: Abbott also went on Tucker Carlson's show while he was
27:59
Speaker 1: in India. Carlson asked him about what would happen if
28:02
Speaker 1: the Biden administration tries to federalize the Texas National Guard.
28:07
Speaker 1: And it's a fair question to ask him that, right,
28:10
Speaker 1: because that's the president's next play, the president of the
28:12
Speaker 1: United States of America, no.
28:14
Speaker 2: Doubt about it.
28:16
Speaker 1: The President could federalize the National Guard. And if that happens,
28:21
Speaker 1: the real question is then what happens, right, what happens
28:24
Speaker 1: next if that happens, And what would the response be
28:29
Speaker 1: if that happened. Well, the governor said, he said, look,
28:34
Speaker 1: we're going to continue to add more. Bob Weier, he said,
28:39
Speaker 1: there are twenty five state governors who are backing our state.
28:43
Speaker 1: Right now, Abbott is saying, I'm going to stand by
28:46
Speaker 1: my argument that the federal government's responsibility to protect the
28:49
Speaker 1: states is mandatory.
28:51
Speaker 2: They are not following the laws of the land.
28:55
Speaker 1: But if they do not, he then says, the states
28:58
Speaker 1: can protect themselves, which is exactly what he should be doing.
29:03
Speaker 1: This is exactly how it should work. But the President
29:07
Speaker 1: of United States of America wants things to get worse.
29:11
Speaker 1: The President of United States of America has put all
29:13
Speaker 1: this together by design, and Abbott is saying exactly that. Look,
29:18
Speaker 1: we know where this is going, we understand how this
29:22
Speaker 1: is working. Governor Abbott's trying to protect all Americans because
29:26
Speaker 1: the President won't do it. The President has gone m Ia.
29:31
Speaker 1: Take a listen to this from Fox News Channel about
29:34
Speaker 1: all the other governors coming to the aid of Texas.
29:38
Speaker 2: It's scary. Can't believe he's that reckless. Yeah.
29:40
Speaker 4: Well, the other question here, obviously, is you know what
29:44
Speaker 4: is the solution? Is it the National Guard? I mean,
29:47
Speaker 4: you've got twenty five Republican led states that say we
29:51
Speaker 4: support Governor Abbott and Wilson the National Guard down to
29:55
Speaker 4: the Texas border. Is it going to come to that.
29:59
Speaker 5: Well, it looks like you saw more than several dozen
30:04
Speaker 5: governors that are standing behind Abbot because the invasion that's
30:08
Speaker 5: happening at his border.
30:10
Speaker 2: He's trying to protect his.
30:12
Speaker 5: Constituents there in Texas and he's trying to protect all
30:15
Speaker 5: Americans because the president is missing an action when it
30:18
Speaker 5: comes to securing in our border.
30:20
Speaker 4: So let's talk about that national security risk. Katy MacFarland
30:24
Speaker 4: telling me the same thing on Friday morning that this
30:27
Speaker 4: is a.
30:27
Speaker 2: National national security issue. It is a national security issue.
30:32
Speaker 1: You want to know how we know that, because we've
30:35
Speaker 1: also been told in the month of December, you had
30:38
Speaker 1: nineteen different people on the terrorists watch lists that were
30:44
Speaker 1: caught trying to come across the southern border. Nineteen I'm
30:51
Speaker 1: pretty sure, and I've been trying to get the exact
30:53
Speaker 1: number here, but I'm pretty sure that that is more
30:56
Speaker 1: than the total number of people on the tariffs watch
30:59
Speaker 1: lists caught during in the four years that Donald Trump
31:02
Speaker 1: was the president of the United States of America coming
31:05
Speaker 1: across our southern border. And if you've got nineteen people
31:09
Speaker 1: on the tariffs watch lists that were caught in the
31:11
Speaker 1: month of December coming across our southern border. Imagine how
31:14
Speaker 1: many may have gotten across that we did not catch
31:18
Speaker 1: because those that are on the terriff watch list, there's
31:20
Speaker 1: one thing we know for sure. They're trying not to
31:25
Speaker 1: get caught by border patrol. They're trying to get into
31:28
Speaker 1: this country undetected. They're trying to be one of the
31:32
Speaker 1: got aways. They're not turning themselves into border patrol when
31:37
Speaker 1: they come across the southern border. This is no longer
31:41
Speaker 1: an issue of how many illegal immigrants are coming across
31:43
Speaker 1: the border.
31:44
Speaker 2: This is now an issue of national security.
31:47
Speaker 1: There's also something else about these nineteen people on the
31:50
Speaker 1: terrorists watch lists that were caught in the month of
31:51
Speaker 1: December alone trying to come across the southern border.
31:55
Speaker 2: We know that there have already been warnings from Hamas.
31:58
Speaker 1: They've said that they want to have the same style
32:01
Speaker 1: attacks in the United States of America that they had.
32:04
Speaker 2: On the Jews in Israel.
32:06
Speaker 1: You want to know why nineteen terrorists tried to come
32:09
Speaker 1: into this country that were on the terifts watch list
32:11
Speaker 1: in December. Could it possibly be because they're trying to
32:16
Speaker 1: pull off a terrorist act in the United States of America?
32:20
Speaker 1: So what is Joe Biden doing in response to this
32:23
Speaker 1: not a damn thing.
