WH Goes to War with Texas Using Government Sanctions · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: There is a fight now at the southern border.
0:04
Speaker 2: It is a fight between those who believe in states
0:06
Speaker 2: rights and the Biden government who is refusing to allow
0:10
Speaker 2: the State of Texas to protect and defend itself from
0:13
Speaker 2: the invasion at the southern border. Now, this has been
0:17
Speaker 2: spiraling for quite some time, and Governor Abbot in Texas
0:22
Speaker 2: has I think honestly held back for too long. But
0:26
Speaker 2: it seems that he is at his breaking point and
0:28
Speaker 2: other Republican governors are joining him.
0:32
Speaker 1: Now.
0:33
Speaker 2: All this is in reaction to what happened at the
0:36
Speaker 2: Supreme Court in a five to four decision.
0:38
Speaker 1: As you know we mentioned it on this show.
0:40
Speaker 2: They said that the razor wire could be lifted that
0:44
Speaker 2: have been put down by the State of Texas.
0:46
Speaker 1: Now, think about this.
0:47
Speaker 2: A government that says they want a secure border, or
0:50
Speaker 2: there is a secure border, if you believe my orchis,
0:53
Speaker 2: which clearly they're lying to you, is now suing the
0:57
Speaker 2: State of Texas to open their border up, not to
1:00
Speaker 2: secure their border. Now, Governor Abbott has done an interview
1:05
Speaker 2: with Tucker Carlson, and I want you to hear what
1:07
Speaker 2: he said to Tucker on his show on X Take
1:11
Speaker 2: a listen to the governor, confirming now that if Biden
1:15
Speaker 2: federalizes the Texas National Guard, he has other armed law
1:20
Speaker 2: enforcement personnel standing guard on the border. He also confirmed
1:26
Speaker 2: that there are other reinforcements that are coming from other
1:29
Speaker 2: states where there are other conservative governors.
1:33
Speaker 3: Listen carefully, if the administration declares that it plans to
1:38
Speaker 3: federalize the National Guard of the State of Texas, your
1:42
Speaker 3: national guard, what will be your response.
1:44
Speaker 4: Well, first, I'll be shocked. That would be a boneheaded
1:47
Speaker 4: move on his part, a total disaster. But for one,
1:50
Speaker 4: as you might imagine, we are prepared in the event
1:53
Speaker 4: that that unlikely event does occur to make sure that
1:56
Speaker 4: we will be able to continue exactly what we've been
1:59
Speaker 4: doing over the past sponse, and that is building these barriers,
2:03
Speaker 4: whether it be the Constant Center wire or other at
2:06
Speaker 4: that clime, border barriers, whatever we've been building. The Bide
2:08
Speaker 4: administration is now trying to attack us because of it,
2:13
Speaker 4: and we will continue to do exactly what we're doing
2:16
Speaker 4: to expand our denial of illegal entry into the State of.
2:20
Speaker 3: Texas with state employees, I assume, not with National Guard,
2:24
Speaker 3: but can you envision a scenario in which you would
2:28
Speaker 3: put armed state employees on the border instead of the
2:30
Speaker 3: National Guard of Texas.
2:31
Speaker 4: We do have other arm state employees on the border
2:35
Speaker 4: as we speak Bry this minute, and the Texas Department
2:38
Speaker 4: of Public Safety, as well as other law enforcement officers,
2:41
Speaker 4: as well as National Guard from other states. And you
2:43
Speaker 4: can be assured there will be more National Guard from
2:46
Speaker 4: other states and more law enforcement officers within the state
2:48
Speaker 4: of Texas and other states. And Tucker, I just signed
2:52
Speaker 4: a law, a new law in the stead of Texas
2:54
Speaker 4: that will go into effect on March the fifth, that
2:57
Speaker 4: authorizes any law enforcement officer in the State of Texas
3:01
Speaker 4: to be able to arrest anybody coming across the border illegally.
3:05
Speaker 3: Have you spoken to the President or anyone from the
3:08
Speaker 3: Biden White House about what appears to be an imminent collision?
3:12
Speaker 4: I have not, To be clear, I have spoken to
3:15
Speaker 4: the President about the border. I met him on a
3:17
Speaker 4: tarmac in El Paso and talked to him directly about
3:19
Speaker 4: what was going on. I handed him a letter that
3:22
Speaker 4: had in it immediate solutions he could take that would
3:25
Speaker 4: immediately secure the border without the need of any new
3:28
Speaker 4: law to be passed. Despite the fact that I handed
3:30
Speaker 4: him on altogether eight different letters, he has refused to
3:35
Speaker 4: ever respond. My point in telling you that we have
3:38
Speaker 4: laid down the precursor of what's called Article four, section
3:43
Speaker 4: four of the United States Constitution to show that we
3:46
Speaker 4: have been invaded and we have demanded support from the
3:50
Speaker 4: President to safeguard our state, and they have refused to
3:54
Speaker 4: do so eight times, and that authorized me to declare
3:59
Speaker 4: and Asian under Article one, section ten of the conversation
4:02
Speaker 4: to make sure that Texas is going to be able
4:04
Speaker 4: to use every tool in our arsenal to defend our states.
4:09
Speaker 3: Of the couple of dozen Republican led states who've pledged
4:13
Speaker 3: support for you, how many do you think would send
4:16
Speaker 3: national guard to Texas.
4:18
Speaker 4: I'll be shocked and disappointed if almost all of them
4:22
Speaker 4: do not send. There have been about ten so far
4:25
Speaker 4: that are sent national Guard or other law enforcement. They
4:29
Speaker 4: now are joined together with us, and this is a
4:31
Speaker 4: fight for the future of America, and they all know it,
4:34
Speaker 4: and so I believe that they will all be in
4:36
Speaker 4: on this effort.
4:37
Speaker 2: He said, he believes they will all be in on
4:41
Speaker 2: this effort.
4:42
Speaker 1: Now, this is obviously.
4:44
Speaker 2: Very very very very very significant information coming now from
4:49
Speaker 2: this interview with Governor Abbott saying that ten other States
4:53
Speaker 2: have sent National Guard to the Texas border and others
4:56
Speaker 2: will follow. Habit says he look it is yes prepared
5:01
Speaker 2: for a conflict to happen with federal authorities because he
5:05
Speaker 2: must protect his state. I want you to hear this
5:09
Speaker 2: one other question that Tucker also asked Governor Abbott in
5:12
Speaker 2: this interview.
5:13
Speaker 3: Listen, it's just a remarkable moment, and I know you're
5:16
Speaker 3: heading out, but my final question is how do you
5:18
Speaker 3: see this resolving? What happens next?
5:21
Speaker 4: Texas is going to continue to expand the border barriers
5:26
Speaker 4: that we are erecting, the razor wire that we're putting up,
5:29
Speaker 4: and to continue to gain control of more land over
5:33
Speaker 4: the coming months. I believe, however, that this will all
5:37
Speaker 4: come to an end on January the twentieth of next year,
5:40
Speaker 4: because I believe a new president will be sworn in,
5:43
Speaker 4: a president who will actually enforce the immigration laws of
5:46
Speaker 4: the entire country, not just the Texas border, but New
5:49
Speaker 4: Mexico and Arizona and California and the Canadian border also,
5:54
Speaker 4: and we will have safe and secure borders once again,
5:56
Speaker 4: because we will have a president who actually will enforce
5:59
Speaker 4: the law of the United States of America.
6:01
Speaker 1: But in the next year.
6:02
Speaker 3: Are you concerned about any kind of conflict between state forces,
6:07
Speaker 3: whether state employees or National Guard and federal forces.
6:10
Speaker 4: So, Tucker, all we can do is be as prepared
6:13
Speaker 4: as possible, deploy as many people as possible, do as
6:17
Speaker 4: much as possible to put up more border barriers and
6:22
Speaker 4: deny ilegal entry. And our head is down. We're working
6:26
Speaker 4: hard regardless of what the Bide administration is doing.
6:29
Speaker 3: Governor Greg Abbott of Texas joining us now from India,
6:32
Speaker 3: thank you very much.
6:32
Speaker 1: Governor.
6:33
Speaker 2: It's interesting to hear Governor Abbott say this that these
6:36
Speaker 2: ten other states has sent national Guard to the Texas border.
6:39
Speaker 1: He says others will follow. This is obviously a.
6:43
Speaker 2: Real contentious point here, but I want you to understand
6:46
Speaker 2: another side of this. Okay, When the Texas governor vows
6:49
Speaker 2: to add more razor wire after the Supreme Court order,
6:53
Speaker 2: it is because there is a full on invasion of
6:55
Speaker 2: millions of people coming into Texas. There is also an
6:58
Speaker 2: onslaught of a drug that are killing innocent people in Texas.
7:03
Speaker 2: They're sex trafficking, human trafficking, they are destroying the state
7:06
Speaker 2: in so many different ways. And so when Governor Abbott
7:09
Speaker 2: said he will add more razor wire, not take it
7:12
Speaker 2: down at the US Mexico boarder to prevent more illegal
7:15
Speaker 2: immigrants tormenter in the United States of America and staying
7:17
Speaker 2: in Texas. Coming after the Supreme Court sided with the
7:20
Speaker 2: Biden administration allowed federal agents to cut the wire, he says, quote,
7:23
Speaker 2: we're adding more razor wire as we speak right now
7:26
Speaker 2: to make sure that we are doing even more to
7:29
Speaker 2: secure the border. Now, this is obviously something that is
7:32
Speaker 2: supposed to be done by majorcis and the federal government.
7:36
Speaker 1: They're not doing it. They're not doing it on purpose.
7:39
Speaker 2: And the governor said, look, my state has the authority
7:43
Speaker 2: to defy the US government under the US Constitution because
7:46
Speaker 2: it's authors, the founding fathers believed. He said this to
7:49
Speaker 2: Bloomberg that there would be times when the federal government
7:52
Speaker 2: does not do its job and states have a right
7:55
Speaker 2: to self defense. And the way that he is describing
7:58
Speaker 2: this and the media is completely silent on this and
8:00
Speaker 2: they're not covering is because they understand that this is
8:03
Speaker 2: an actual self defense issue. A spokesman for the Texas
8:06
Speaker 2: Department of Public Safety wrote that the state's Operation Loan
8:10
Speaker 2: Star will keep its current posture of setting up raiser
8:13
Speaker 2: wire and other barriers to block i legal immigration into
8:16
Speaker 2: the state, saying quote, the logical concern should be why
8:19
Speaker 2: the federal government continues to hinder Texas ability to protect
8:22
Speaker 2: its border, all while allowing for the exploitation, dangerous and
8:28
Speaker 2: inhumane methods of permitting illegal immigrants, including children, to legally
8:33
Speaker 2: across a dangerous river where many have lost their lives.
8:37
Speaker 2: The Texas Military Department recently posted pictures showing Texas National
8:41
Speaker 2: Guard members as well as the Department of Public Safety
8:44
Speaker 2: officials adding more razor wire. Mister Abbot's comments signal an
8:48
Speaker 2: escalation in a legal battle between the state of Texas
8:51
Speaker 2: and the federal government after the Texas sees Shelby Park
8:55
Speaker 2: near Egle paths. While there are lawsuits against the Biden
8:58
Speaker 2: administration's recent moved, you have to cut razor wire that
9:02
Speaker 2: was set up by the Texas National Guard. Texas also
9:05
Speaker 2: set up a floating barrier in the middle of the
9:07
Speaker 2: Rio Grande border crossing area. All the court order that
9:11
Speaker 2: the state removed that barrier as well. If you want
9:14
Speaker 2: to know who's in favor of open borders, look no
9:16
Speaker 2: further than the Biden administration. All right, let me tell
9:19
Speaker 2: you real quick about an amazing company. And if you're
9:23
Speaker 2: like me and your sick and tied to giving your
9:24
Speaker 2: money to companies that hate you, that literally hate you,
9:27
Speaker 2: hate your family values, hate your Christian values, hate your
9:30
Speaker 2: traditional values, well now there's an option when it comes
9:33
Speaker 2: to your cell phone.
9:34
Speaker 1: I have switched to Patriot Mobile.
9:35
Speaker 2: And when I look at my phone every time and
9:38
Speaker 2: the top left it says Patriot And I know that
9:41
Speaker 2: when I pay my bill every month, that a percentage
9:44
Speaker 2: of that bill, at no extra cost to me, is
9:45
Speaker 2: going to go back to support conservative causes, candidates, organizations,
9:50
Speaker 2: and most importantly to me, support the rights of unborn
9:54
Speaker 2: children this country to live. Now, I do that every
9:57
Speaker 2: month because I love knowing that I'm giving my money
10:00
Speaker 2: to a company that actually loves my values. For ten years,
10:03
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
10:08
Speaker 2: And when I say only trust me, they are the
10:10
Speaker 2: only one. Patriot Mobile is a great supporter of this show,
10:14
Speaker 2: which is why I'm proud to partner with him, because
10:16
Speaker 2: they support conservative ideals. Patriot Mobile offers dependable nationwide coverage,
10:21
Speaker 2: giving you the ability to access all three major networks
10:23
Speaker 2: the same exact cell phone towers you're using right now,

Speaker 2: which means you get the same coverage you've been accustomed
10:30
Speaker 2: to without funding the left. Now, when you switch to
10:33

11:04
Speaker 2: dot com slash ferguson. Let me also explain for you
11:08
Speaker 2: something that happened earlier this week, and that was that
11:11
Speaker 2: US Supreme Court siding with the Biden administration. I want
11:14
Speaker 2: you to understand more about it. I'm going to play
11:16
Speaker 2: for you part of what Senator Ted Cruz had to say.
11:19
Speaker 2: He's a man that worked the Supreme Court. He courtd
11:21
Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court. He is a constitutional scholar and
11:24
Speaker 2: also a man that has fought several cases actually many
11:27
Speaker 2: cases in front of the Supreme Court, and I want
11:29
Speaker 2: you to hear his explanation. But before I do that,
11:32
Speaker 2: I wanted you to understand what exactly happened at the
11:36
Speaker 2: Supreme Court. The Biden administration was granted an emergency appeal
11:42
Speaker 2: to allow federal agents to cut the razor wire at
11:44
Speaker 2: the Texas border. Now, this five to four order allows
11:48
Speaker 2: federal agents to only cut the razor wire, and it
11:51
Speaker 2: does not prohibit Texas from setting up the wire either.
11:55
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court's order did not provide an explanation. In
11:59
Speaker 2: other words, there's saying you're both right. You can lay
12:01
Speaker 2: down razor wire, but the federal government can cut it
12:04
Speaker 2: if they want to. Those who voted in favor included
12:07
Speaker 2: Chief Justice John Roberts as well as Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
12:11
Speaker 1: Now those are shocks.
12:13
Speaker 2: We were not surprised that side of my Oar and
12:15
Speaker 2: Brown and Keegan all decided to go with the no
12:20
Speaker 2: Texas can't defend itself. Now, those who vote against it
12:24
Speaker 2: were Justice Clarence Thomas, Alito Gorsetz, and Brett Kavanaugh. Again,
12:28
Speaker 2: I'm still shocked by Amy Coney Barrett, and I'm really
12:31
Speaker 2: shocked by Chief John Roberts, although those shocks are coming
12:35
Speaker 2: less often for me after seeing what John Roberts does
12:38
Speaker 2: on some of these rulings.
12:39
Speaker 1: Now, that ruling set.
12:40
Speaker 2: Aside a lower court decision that blocked federal officials from
12:45
Speaker 2: cutting the wire installed along the shore of the Rio
12:49
Speaker 2: Grand inside of Texas. The order did not touch, however,
12:53
Speaker 2: on a lawsuit filed by the Texas Attorney General Kim
12:56
Speaker 2: Paxton to block agents from destroying or seizing the razor
13:01
Speaker 2: wire barriers. As mister Abbott vowed to set up more
13:05
Speaker 2: razor wire, a spokesman for the White House described as
13:07
Speaker 2: a mere political stunt which will make it harder and
13:10
Speaker 2: more dangerous for frontline personnel. The White House says to
13:13
Speaker 2: do their jobs, which is I guess, escorting in as
13:15
Speaker 2: many legal immigrants as they can find.
13:18
Speaker 1: Ultimately, the White House said, we need an adequate we
13:21
Speaker 1: need adequate.
13:21
Speaker 2: Resources and policy changes to address our broken immigration system.
13:25
Speaker 1: So they're saying, we're putting a gun to your head.
13:27
Speaker 2: We're going to allow a maximum number of illegal immigrants
13:30
Speaker 2: to come into this country until you allow us to
13:33
Speaker 2: hand out amnesty, and then we'll do a deal with you.
13:35
Speaker 1: That's what it means now.
13:36
Speaker 2: In a separate statement, mister Abbott accused the Biden administration
13:40
Speaker 2: of breaking its compact quote unquote with Texas and other
13:44
Speaker 2: states because, according to him, federal government currently is not
13:48
Speaker 2: enforcing federal laws protecting states, including immigration laws on the
13:53
Speaker 2: books right now. Regarding the US Mexico border situation, the
13:57
Speaker 2: Biden administration added, has refused to enforce those laws.
14:01
Speaker 1: He's not asking for new ones. He's saying, you.
14:02
Speaker 2: Guys aren't even enforcing the ones. You're refusing to hold
14:05
Speaker 2: up the laws. You're refusing the Biden administration to abide
14:10
Speaker 2: by the law. And he says they've refused to enforce
14:13
Speaker 2: those laws.
14:15
Speaker 1: And have even violated the laws of the land. Now
14:19
Speaker 1: it comes to the top.
14:20
Speaker 2: Federal immigration officials told the Associated Press that last month,
14:25
Speaker 2: illegal crossings top ten thousand during some days in December alone,
14:31
Speaker 2: So ten thousand people a day are breaking into this country.
14:34
Speaker 1: That is an invasion.
14:36
Speaker 2: Arrests for illegal crossings top two million for the first
14:41
Speaker 2: time each of the US governments last month two budget years,
14:45
Speaker 2: reflecting technological changes that have increased global mobility that has
14:51
Speaker 2: prompted people to leave their homes and come to America. Quote,
14:55
Speaker 2: our officers and agents are responding to large groups of migrants,
15:00
Speaker 2: which means that some of our agents aren't on the line,
15:04
Speaker 2: not really monitoring for some of those cuts. That's what
15:08
Speaker 2: the US Customs and Border Protection Acting Commissioner told the
15:11
Speaker 2: Associated Press, saying this, if we don't have anybody to respond,
15:15
Speaker 2: then you're going to see what you're seeing, meaning that
15:19
Speaker 2: it's a free flow of illegal immigrants. Arrests of people
15:22
Speaker 2: and families also neared seventy two thousand in the Tucson
15:26
Speaker 2: sector from October one through December the ninth, more than
15:30
Speaker 2: nine times the same period last year alone. That's a
15:35
Speaker 2: big change from when almost all migrants were adult men.
15:39
Speaker 2: Arrests of non Mexicans also top seventy five thousand, nearly
15:45
Speaker 2: quadruple the number from a year ago, and more than
15:48
Speaker 2: half of all sector arrests. Republicans have said that the
15:52
Speaker 2: increase in illegal immigration is largely due to the Biden
15:55
Speaker 2: administration's refusal to enforce the policies that are already on
16:00
Speaker 2: the books the laws that are on the books, noting
16:03
Speaker 2: that early on his term, President Biden recented a number
16:06
Speaker 2: of Trump era immigration rules on purpose, which is allowed
16:10
Speaker 2: for the massive influx of illegal immigrants coming into this country. Now,
16:15
Speaker 2: this is going to have and it's going to be
16:18
Speaker 2: a really big states rights battle. I believe, by the
16:22
Speaker 2: way that it's a battle that we should have. Donald
16:27
Speaker 2: Trump has come out saying the states that are involved
16:30
Speaker 2: in this. In backing Texas, he said, use the National
16:32
Speaker 2: Guard to remove migrants across the border. Former President Trump
16:36
Speaker 2: called on governors to use their National Guard soldiers to
16:40
Speaker 2: remove migrants back across the border. His post on True
16:43
Speaker 2: Social follows statements from twenty five different Republican governors who
16:48
Speaker 2: have come out in support of the state of Texas
16:50
Speaker 2: standoff against the Biden administration. In Shelby Park alone, quote,
16:55
Speaker 2: we encourage all willing states to deploy their guards to
16:58
Speaker 2: Texas to prevent the end tree of illegals and to
17:01
Speaker 2: remove them back across the southern border. President Trump wrote,
17:05
Speaker 2: saying this, all Americans should support the common sense measures
17:10
Speaker 2: by Texas authorities to protect the safety, the security, and
17:14
Speaker 2: the sovereignty of Texas and of the American people.
17:19
Speaker 1: Page two.
17:19
Speaker 2: He goes on to say this, we encourage all willing
17:23
Speaker 2: states to ploy their guard. All Americans should support the
17:26
Speaker 2: common sense measures by Texas authorities to protect the safety, security,
17:30
Speaker 2: and sovereignty of Texas and of the American people. He says, quote,
17:34
Speaker 2: when I am president on day one, instead of fighting Texas,
17:39
Speaker 2: I will work hand in hand with Governor Abbot. Notice
17:43
Speaker 2: how he's saying he will work with the governor, not
17:45
Speaker 2: against him.
17:47
Speaker 1: I will work hand in.
17:47
Speaker 2: Hand with Governor Abbott and other border states to stop
17:50
Speaker 2: the invasion, seal the border, and rapidly begin the largest
17:54
Speaker 2: domestic deportation operation in history. Those Biden have let in
18:00
Speaker 2: should not get comfortable because they will be going home now. Again,
18:05
Speaker 2: this is very clear that Donald Trump is saying, now
18:08
Speaker 2: more than ever before, I am going to not just
18:12
Speaker 2: I'm going to deport them, right, I Am going to
18:15
Speaker 2: deport them.
18:16
Speaker 1: That's what I'm going to do.
18:18
Speaker 2: And if you think you're not paying attention, I will
18:22
Speaker 2: deport them.
18:24
Speaker 3: Now.
18:24
Speaker 2: Let me also say this. I mentioned Senator Ted Cruz
18:27
Speaker 2: a moment ago. You have a governor and Greg Abbott,
18:30
Speaker 2: and you have a senator and Ted Cruz. They are
18:32
Speaker 2: both angry about the invasion of their state. Ted Cruz
18:36
Speaker 2: tweeted out earlier today, quote I'm angry about the Supreme
18:39
Speaker 2: Court's decision failing to secure Texas border.
18:44
Speaker 1: We are being invaded.
18:45
Speaker 2: The justices don't have a real appreciation to how bad
18:48
Speaker 2: it is. Biden is failing to enforce the law because
18:52
Speaker 2: Democrats want our country to be invaded. Now, one of
18:56
Speaker 2: the things that he said there, and he's absolutely right,
19:00
Speaker 2: is they don't understand how bad it is.
19:02
Speaker 1: And it's not that this is a fight over.
19:04
Speaker 2: Some new law like usually when you go to the Supreme
19:06
Speaker 2: Court to fight over a law and what a law means,
19:09
Speaker 2: et cetera. There's no disputing the Biden administration is willfully
19:13
Speaker 2: and purposely refusing to abide by the law. Now there's
19:18
Speaker 2: also something else that's happened, and I'm going to get
19:20
Speaker 2: just so you understand this. President Biden gave the Texas
19:24
Speaker 2: Governor Greg Abbott a one pm Eastern deadline to remove
19:29
Speaker 2: his National Guard troops.
19:32
Speaker 1: The governor of Texas then refused. You want to know what.
19:35
Speaker 2: Biden did yet, Next, Biden issued a punitive sanction or
19:41
Speaker 2: sang shuns, I should say, plural against Texas by pausing
19:46
Speaker 2: liquid natural gas development opportunities. This is to directly hurt
19:52
Speaker 2: the Texas economy. The headline coming from the Washington Post
19:57
Speaker 2: Biden administration pauses approval of new gas export terminals. The
20:04
Speaker 2: President said the government would analyze impacts on climate, the economy,
20:09
Speaker 2: and national security before approving new projects.
20:12
Speaker 1: This was a straight up Okay, Texas, you.
20:15
Speaker 2: Don't listen to me, and you don't do what I'm
20:18
Speaker 2: telling you to do. Guess what's going to happen. I'm
20:20
Speaker 2: going to give it back to you tenfold. Biden didn't
20:24
Speaker 2: decide to shut down liquid natural gas exports until Texas
20:27
Speaker 2: decided to take control of the southern border. This is
20:30
Speaker 2: nothing more than the federal government putting sanctions against Texas
20:34
Speaker 2: for defending the border. And Americans need to understand this,
20:39
Speaker 2: and Americans need to pay attention to this like this
20:42
Speaker 2: is exactly. This is one hundred percent what's happening now
20:46
Speaker 2: in Texas. You aren't doing what we are mandating that
20:49
Speaker 2: you do. And since you are not doing it, okay,
20:54
Speaker 2: since you are not doing it, we are going to
20:57
Speaker 2: put sanctions on the state of Texas. I don't want
21:00
Speaker 2: you to hear something else that was just said on
21:02
Speaker 2: Fox News channel about the border.
21:03
Speaker 5: Listen, well, as it stands right now, you might be
21:06
Speaker 5: able to make out behind me, Texas's razor wire is
21:09
Speaker 5: still here inside of Shelby Park, it remains untouched. However,
21:13
Speaker 5: the Biden administration has now warned Texas it has until
21:16
Speaker 5: tomorrow to allow Biden's border agents back into Shelby Park
21:21
Speaker 5: and the ability to remove Texas's razor wire as it
21:25
Speaker 5: sees fit. A federal attorney writes to Texas Attorney General
21:29
Speaker 5: Ken Paxson that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of
21:32
Speaker 5: the Biden administration, ending a temporary restraining order that prohibited
21:36
Speaker 5: Biden's border agents from touching Texas razor wire in and
21:39
Speaker 5: around Shelby Park. The Biden administration goes into detail about
21:43
Speaker 5: the axis it wants. It wants access to Shelby Park,
21:45
Speaker 5: also the nearby boat launch and the International Bridge.
21:50
Speaker 2: So again, you've got a president United States of America
21:52
Speaker 2: that just put sanctions on a state in the United
21:55
Speaker 2: States of America, Texas, and says no more liquid natural
21:58
Speaker 2: gas out of Texas. I'm going to suffocate you until
22:01
Speaker 2: you do what I tell you to do.
22:03
Speaker 1: Now.
22:04
Speaker 2: There's also been some confusion about the Supreme Court ruling
22:07
Speaker 2: and what it means and what it actually says. I
22:10
Speaker 2: want you to hear what centater Ted Cruz I co
22:12
Speaker 2: host verdict with Ted Cruz with him our podcasts, and
22:14
Speaker 2: this is part of our discussion.
22:16
Speaker 1: I want to play it for you now.
22:18
Speaker 2: Can you explain exactly what just happened at the Supreme
22:22
Speaker 2: Court when it came to the Supreme Court ruling that
22:26
Speaker 2: the Biden administration, in a five to four decision can
22:29
Speaker 2: resume removal of the razor wire that was installed by
22:33
Speaker 2: the State of Texas along the border, specifically near Eagle Pass,
22:38
Speaker 2: and they say at least while the litigation is ongoing.
22:42
Speaker 1: What was even more.
22:43
Speaker 2: Shocking, I think is the fact that Roberts and Amy
22:47
Speaker 2: Komy Barrett sided with left leaning justice to rule in
22:51
Speaker 2: Biden Administration's favor and allow the border patrol to go
22:55
Speaker 2: in and remove the razor wire, which the Texas National
22:59
Speaker 2: Guard then put back up. At least from the latest
23:02
Speaker 2: videos we've seen from the border, this is a shocking moment.
23:06
Speaker 2: Many people in Texas are angry about this, saying what
23:10
Speaker 2: about states' rights here and how could these two concertive
23:14
Speaker 2: justices side with the Biden administration.
23:18
Speaker 6: Look, this is a horrible decision. I'm angry about it.
23:22
Speaker 6: It is deeply disturbing. Fact Number one, we are seeing
23:28
Speaker 6: an invasion at our southern border. Nine point six million
23:33
Speaker 6: illegal immigrants have crossed in under Joe Biden.
23:36
Speaker 1: It is deliberate.
23:37
Speaker 6: He wants this to happen. It is the worst illegal
23:41
Speaker 6: immigration in our nation's history. Number two, it's deliberate. Biden
23:47
Speaker 6: wants this to happen. The Democrats want this to happen.
23:50
Speaker 6: They are facilitating it, they are accelerating it that they
23:54
Speaker 6: are actively wanting more and more and more of it.
23:57
Speaker 6: So Texas understandably is respond to defend ourselves. I commend
24:02
Speaker 6: our governor. I commend our state legislature for acting to
24:05
Speaker 6: protect the sovereignty of Texas and for investing billions of
24:10
Speaker 6: dollars in border security and law enforcement and putting personnel
24:14
Speaker 6: in putting up barriers to try to stop this invasion
24:18
Speaker 6: of our state. Now, what happened on this case. It
24:24
Speaker 6: arose to the Supreme Court on an emergency appeal on
24:27
Speaker 6: an injunction. There was an injunction against the federal government
24:31
Speaker 6: to stop the federal government from cutting down the Razor wire,
24:35
Speaker 6: the Constantina Wire the Texas that erected and the Fifth Circuit,
24:39
Speaker 6: the Federal Court of Appeals had upheld the injunction. What
24:42
Speaker 6: happened today Tuesday, is the Supreme Court, by a vote
24:49
Speaker 6: of five to four vacated that injunction. What that means is,
24:54
Speaker 6: right now, the federal government has the legal ability to
24:57
Speaker 6: cut down that razor wire to allow now illegal immigrants
25:01
Speaker 6: to continue invading the state. Now, the good news, the
25:05
Speaker 6: merits of the appeal is still pending, and so the
25:07
Speaker 6: Fifth Circuit can still rule on the merits of the
25:10
Speaker 6: appeal as to whether Texas has the authority, And by
25:13
Speaker 6: the way, the Supreme Court could still rule on the appeal.
25:15
Speaker 6: So it is possible that Texas prevails. That the results
25:20
Speaker 6: of an emergency appeal on an injunction are not always
25:25
Speaker 6: the same as the merits results on the substantive issue.
25:29
Speaker 1: So that's true.
25:30
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, you had the
25:33
Speaker 6: three Liberals plus John Roberts plus Amy Cony b. Barrett
25:38
Speaker 6: ruling for the Biden administration saying you can cut down
25:40
Speaker 6: this razor wire. Now, on one level, I understand it
25:44
Speaker 6: that there is a heavy presumption in Washington in federal courts,
25:50
Speaker 6: which is that the federal government gets to trump the states,
25:54
Speaker 6: and that that is part of the Constitution. Is a
25:56
Speaker 6: supremacy clause that says the Constitution of federal laws, the
26:00
Speaker 6: supreme law of the land. I think it is a
26:04
Speaker 6: real problem that John Roberts is a creature of Washington.
26:09
Speaker 6: I don't think he understands what is happening at the
26:12
Speaker 6: southern border. I think Amy Cony Barrett is a law
26:15
Speaker 6: professor from Indiana. I don't think she has any understanding
26:19
Speaker 6: of what's happening at the southern border. In ordinary times.
26:24
Speaker 6: If this were just a regular time and a state
26:28
Speaker 6: we're trying to block what the federal government was doing,
26:30
Speaker 6: the Supreme Court would fairly routinely rule with FETs. What
26:35
Speaker 6: I don't think these justices have a real appreciation for
26:39
Speaker 6: is how horrifically bad it is, how lawless it is
26:44
Speaker 6: what the Biden administration is doing. There's never been a
26:47
Speaker 6: president who refuses to follow the law like Joe Biden did.
26:50
Speaker 6: So Here's the statement that the Border Patrol Union put
26:55
Speaker 6: out today. Quote, the Supreme Court's decision today is going
26:59
Speaker 6: to undoubtly encourage more illegal immigration. Unfortunately, this means border
27:06
Speaker 6: patrol agents are going to be tied up dealing with
27:08
Speaker 6: give ups rather than going after the criminal elements that
27:12
Speaker 6: constantly cross our border illegally. The administration no doubt will
27:17
Speaker 6: say this is a win for border security, but if
27:21
Speaker 6: they sought rank and file input, they would be told
27:25
Speaker 6: this will do the exact opposite. Agents support what Texas
27:31
Speaker 6: was trying to accomplish in the absence of true border
27:35
Speaker 6: security policies from this administration. I agree with the Border
27:39
Speaker 6: Patrol Union, and so I am angry. I'm frustrated. I
27:43
Speaker 6: think the Court is out of touch. I think they're
27:46
Speaker 6: just reflexively agreeing with the federal government against the States,
27:50
Speaker 6: and I think it is a profound mistake that continues
27:54
Speaker 6: the invasion that's happening in our southern border.
27:57
Speaker 2: To be clear, one other thing on this is when
27:59
Speaker 2: you hear the Biden administration say that they are working
28:02
Speaker 2: to secure the border, I think everybody needs to lot
28:05
Speaker 2: remember this moment that they not only are they not,
28:08
Speaker 2: they went all the way to Supreme Court to make
28:10
Speaker 2: sure they could unsecure portions of the border where radsor
28:14
Speaker 2: wire was put up to secure the border.
28:16
Speaker 6: That's how understand Hold on, I want to underscore what
28:19
Speaker 6: you're just saying. So today in the capital, as I
28:23
Speaker 6: was walking to the Capitol, lots of reporters wanted to
28:25
Speaker 6: ask me about this decision. And they said, well, gosh,
28:27
Speaker 6: Biden just says, if Congress will pass the supplemental bill,
28:31
Speaker 6: then we'll have the ability to secure the border. And
28:33
Speaker 6: I said, listen, understand, Biden doesn't want to secure the border.
28:37
Speaker 6: He wants this crisis. He wants more illegal immigrants. And
28:40
Speaker 6: I said, for Pete's sakes, Biden is actively litigating against
28:45
Speaker 6: the state of Texas to stop Texas from securing the border.
28:50
Speaker 1: That's what they want.
28:52
Speaker 6: They want this invasion, and that's exactly what the Biden
28:55
Speaker 6: administration is doing with the emphatic support of essentially every
29:01
Speaker 6: Democrat member of the Senate and every Democrat member of
29:03
Speaker 6: the House.
29:05
Speaker 2: All Right, I'm going to keep you updated all throughout
29:07

29:09
Speaker 2: southern border. Make sure you share this podcast please with
