On today's show, we discuss the latest Supreme Court ruling on the border with Texas, and the impact it could have on the future of the Supreme Court. Plus, we take a look at the latest in the Trump administration on immigration and impeachment.
00:00:00.000You write in part, quote, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is defying the authority of the federal government, just as other southern governors did before the Civil War and during the fight over school desegregation.
00:00:12.520Like presidents before him, Joe Biden has the right and ultimately the duty to uphold the Constitution, including by force.
00:00:21.520In 1957, three years after the Supreme Court's landmark decision ending segregation in public schools, Arkansas Governor Orville Faubus deployed National Guard troops to prevent the first nine black students from enrolling at all white Little Rock Central High School.
00:00:40.180So Eisenhower acted, citing the 1807 Insurrection Act.
00:00:44.640He sent troops from the 101st Airborne Division to escort the black students into their new school.
00:00:51.520And he federalized the entire Arkansas National Guard, taking control of the force out of the Faubus's hands.
00:01:37.640I mean, there's no appetite in the administration for federalizing the Texas National Guard.
00:01:45.220But that is a tool that Biden has if he needs to use it.
00:01:50.640And the idea that Greg Abbott can just sort of blow off the Supreme Court, the governor of the second most popular state in the country, can just essentially disregard it.
00:02:06.100And he gets support from 25 other Republican governors who say, yeah, he's right.
00:02:13.140You know, we don't have to pay attention to that.
00:02:17.660And to me, that cannot be the way this country functions.
00:02:23.860And so it's I guess it's a it's a it's a warning.
00:02:29.540And it ought to be a caution to those who are going down this road that ultimately, if you go too far down this road, there are options that that the president has and may feel forced to use at some point.
00:02:53.280This is what Donald Trump is going to do if Donald Trump's elected president.
00:02:57.040And there will be no National Guard to call out to enforce the Supreme Court decisions because Donald Trump will control the National Guard.
00:04:06.360And this would be fascist that seemed to be on a fast track seems to be getting diverted a little bit.
00:04:11.840I feel a little bit more bullish coming off of Steve Ratner, coming off a lot of things.
00:04:17.360This country does not want our institutions to fail.
00:04:20.500I believe in our electorate and I'm feeling a little bit better about things.
00:04:24.960The House Homeland Security Committee is set to take up articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas.
00:04:31.320The two articles released on Sunday accuse him of, quote, refusing to comply with the law and breaching the public trust in his handling of the southern border.
00:04:39.460Democrats are quickly rallying to defend Mayorkas, releasing a report Monday and calling a GOP action, quote, sham by conservative hardliners.
00:04:47.780CNN's Lauren Fox joins us from Washington.
00:04:49.920Lauren, when you talk to Republican rank and file, I'm kind of surprised it seems like everybody's just totally fallen in the line.
00:04:56.200Is that the way it's going to be here?
00:04:58.660Well, obviously, this is a really big moment in the House Homeland Security Committee, and that is because this is the first time in more than 100 years that Congress has tried to move forward with impeaching a cabinet secretary of a president.
00:05:11.880This is going to be a moment today where we expect there's going to be a lot of fireworks between Republicans and Democrats as House Republicans move ahead with marking up those two articles of impeachment that you mentioned.
00:05:23.260But, you know, Mayorkas is already firing back, saying that the immigration system was broken long before he came into office.
00:05:30.640He's going to continue doing the job that he was given.
00:05:34.400And he plans to not be spooked by these Republican actions.
00:05:38.260He also says if House Republicans are really serious about fixing the immigration system, they could move ahead with the emerging border deal in the United States Senate, something that a lot of Republicans have already rejected out of hand.
00:05:51.760Meanwhile, there's a question, Phil, as you noted, there are a lot of Republicans falling in line, but they have a narrow two seat majority.
00:05:59.420So once this gets out of the committee, which we expect it will, then there's a question of whether or not House Republican leadership has the votes it needs to put it on the floor.
00:06:11.520This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:06:16.420Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
00:06:57.500It is Tuesday, 30 January, year of our Lord, 2024.
00:07:08.020We are live at the Planet Hollywood on the Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, here at the Restoring National Confidence conference put on by Turning Point USA.
00:07:22.100Ended with some power speeches by Mike Lindell, Don Jr., Donald Trump Jr., and, of course, Charlie Kirk.
00:07:29.540But yesterday was a tremendous day of organizing.
00:07:31.900What this is, you've got, I don't know, five, six hundred of precinct committee men.
00:07:37.100You've got Republican County Chairman.
00:07:40.100You have, I think we've got 50 or 60, maybe even more, Republican National Committee people here.
00:07:45.320Nobody's happy at all with how the RNC has been run.
00:07:49.600This is a organizing meeting for the next couple of days, organizing committee to make sure that we, they get organized for, for 2024.
00:07:58.720You saw right there, just absolutely incredible, is first time in a hundred years, first time in a hundred years, we're going to have impeached today.
00:08:09.000A vote in the Homeland Security Council.
00:08:13.720Impeaching, um, by the way, we're here live.
00:08:17.060Got a great group here of Turning Point USA, they're getting all jacked up, getting ready to go in for the conference.
00:08:21.960There's going to be an impeachment vote today with Mayorkas.
00:08:25.840That, uh, that impeachment vote, first time in a hundred years, a cabinet secretary is being impeached.
00:08:31.300And here's what we've got to understand.
00:08:33.300The Mayorkas, uh, position, Homeland Security, that's absolutely central to the Senate bill that they're putting up.
00:08:39.800The Senate is putting up a bill today.
00:08:41.520The Senate is putting up a bill today, or over the next couple of days, you'll get to read the text.
00:08:45.620This is the one that Langford and the other traders have been working on.
00:08:49.240Uh, that bill is absolutely, the only way it can be executed is the chairman of, uh, the secretary of Homeland Security.
00:08:55.860So, before the text of the bill gets released, this amnesty bill that President Trump is adamant about, uh, should not be passed.
00:09:03.960The, the chief person to execute it is being impeached.
00:09:08.380His number one crime, the high crimes and misdemeanors, number one, is failure to execute the laws that are on the books.
00:09:16.000I want you to think of the absurdity of this.
00:09:18.240That, after a one-year process, the House, uh, Homeland Security Committee is putting forward for the first time in a hundred years to impeach a cabinet secretary for breaking the law.
00:09:29.320What laws are we breaking? Essentially, all the immigration laws.
00:09:35.280The Senate, and this is how over the top and crazy it is, is putting forward an amnesty bill to essentially codify the invasion of our country.
00:09:44.020In that codification, the, the only control mechanism they have is the, the secretary of Homeland Security who would execute all of these various changes to the amnesty laws.
00:09:58.020As President Trump said, as Speaker Johnson said, as MTG and many others have said, we have all the laws on the books we need today to shut down the border.
00:10:08.260Speaker Johnson reiterate this yesterday.
00:10:10.160That's why Speaker Johnson, we begged you not to go forward with the CR.
00:10:15.200Either shut down the border or shut down the government.
00:10:17.760We have enough laws in the books today.
00:10:19.540President Trump reiterated this yesterday.
00:10:21.840President Trump reiterated this is that all you have to do is execute right there.
00:10:26.700When President Trump was in, he closed the border to this type of mass asylum, this type of mass, this type of mass illegal, you know, invasion, illegal immigration.
00:10:52.660Just to reiterate, reiterate, President Trump said yesterday we have all the laws in the books we need.
00:10:58.820This Langford bill, what he's been working on, is a complete sellout of the country, a sellout of the nation.
00:11:06.260It is a codification of a mass invasion of the country.
00:11:09.400It would essentially leave 8 to 10 to 12 years, as Todd Bensman, not the 30 or 40 million that have been here for decades and decades and decades.
00:11:18.860I'm talking about just since Joe Biden's reign of terror, the illegitimate regime of Joe Biden.
00:11:24.440When Joe Biden came in, what he's done on the border has brought anywhere from 8 to 12 million illegal alien invaders here, a massive increase to our federal spending to take care of it all.
00:11:33.460That bill is to codify, that bill is to put in place laws that would protect that.
00:11:39.540It would give work permits, I think, to 6 million people immediately.
00:11:43.260The thing is a total, complete disaster.
00:12:21.580So the same time that they're coming forward with this amnesty bill, this amnesty bill, the exact same time they're coming forward with the amnesty bill, what do you have?
00:12:31.100You have the federal government going down to the state of Texas and the state of Texas saying they're trying to protect their own border.
00:12:37.940Abbott, who's no fire breather, finally calls out people to help protect their border to put razor wire up, particularly down at points like Eagle Pass, Texas.
00:13:08.300The federal government's down there to cut the razor wire because the state of Texas is protecting their sovereignty and the sovereignty of their people.
00:13:14.660And what is the morning joke come up with right away?
00:13:17.600The time that the president of the United States in an emergency about this situation down in Arkansas in the 1950s about segregation of the schools federalized the National Guard.
00:13:26.560And they say, hey, he's not threatening to do it.
00:13:29.060He hasn't said he's going to do it, but it's a tool in the toolbox.
00:13:31.560They are absolutely sending the message, the mainstream media, trying to threaten the people in the great state of Texas and other states like Kristi Noem and other states.
00:13:40.720Oklahoma are sending their they're sending their National Guard troops down as support.
00:13:45.840They're saying, hey, we're going to federalize.
00:13:47.500And what and what Abbott's already said, if you federalize our National Guard to work against the people of Texas, you're going to have to report to me.
00:16:18.420November 13, 2023, 201 Democrats, including 13 Democrats sitting here today, voted to refer articles of impeachment to our committee.
00:16:28.360Every Democrat on the floor that night voted to do so.
00:16:31.400You don't get to vote for something and then cry foul when it happens.
00:16:35.660No Democrat has a right to complain about the process without admitting they regret that vote.
00:16:40.700So today, we will mark up two articles of impeachment.
00:16:44.580Willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law and breach of public trust.
00:16:50.780Again, we're here because our oath and duty compel us to be here.
00:16:55.700The actions and decisions of Secretary Mayorkas have left us with no other option than to proceed with articles of impeachment.
00:17:02.060To quote Madison once again, perhaps the greatest danger of abuse in the executive power lies in the improper continuance of bad men in office.
00:18:30.840You have what's going on in Texas with the federal government now threatening, implying a threat through Morning Mika in the new shows.
00:18:39.900They're going to federalize the National Guard, take the tool of the people of the state of Texas and other states to enforce defense of their own state from an invasion.
00:19:04.260Number one, the donors want amnesty for all the illegal invaders, cheaper labor, bigger consumer markets, all of that.
00:19:12.460But also for their buddies in Ukraine, which now every day another story breaks, another story breaks about the corruption and stealing of American taxpayer money.
00:19:21.520Zelensky and his cronies have stolen $20 billion of all the money that's been put in there.
00:19:27.480OK, that's an open secret in Washington, D.C.
00:19:30.640And they will not have a committee meeting on it.
00:20:27.100The Democrats bastardized the truth, and they expect us to sit there and listen to it.
00:20:31.180To compare the desegregation of schools and the federalization of our National Guard back in the 50s to our own federal government waging war on our own states right now and threatening to federalize the National Guard to increase the invasion.
00:20:52.080It's just like calling sanctuary, bastardizing our Bible, and saying it's sanctuary for illegal aliens while they're killing American citizens.
00:21:01.440The last three years, you and your team, and Michael and Jan and some others, have been down into the heart of darkness in Latin America, Central America, the Darien Gap, all of that.
00:21:14.100You went all the way down, I think, to the Colombian border, right?
00:21:28.860I mean, you put places on the map years in advance of when the mainstream media said this thing's out of control, and you were showing people the caravans, all of it.
00:21:36.360You showed them everything about the parole joke of how they fly them in.
00:21:40.740And then you went throughout the country and said, as you know, when we first met at We Build the Wall down there in El Paso,
00:21:46.640every town's a border town, not just El Paso and Juarez.
00:22:17.000This is where he willfully, the first article of impeachment, he willfully did not enforce the laws in the book.
00:22:23.820And the second is a lack of public trust based upon the first of not enforcing.
00:22:27.860And they have the gall to bring a bill that says, oh, we're dependent upon a guy named Mayorkas.
00:22:32.920And, oh, by the way, when the state of Texas tries to defend themselves with their own resources, their own National Guard, out of the citizens of Texas' own pocket because it's so out of control, the federal government takes them to the Supreme Court and then goes down and threatens to cut the razor wire that the citizens of Texas have put in.
00:22:59.760He has invited – you go back to what we've uncovered, what we've discovered from going to Colombia, that we have the United Nations that we are funding.
00:23:08.180We were there at the same time that Mayorkas landed in Panama to announce the controlled flow.
00:23:14.820That's what he called it over two years ago.
00:23:31.600So all of these NGOs, Catholic charities, all of these NGOs that are in the United States that are aiding and abetting, they are in these foreign countries.
00:24:05.960So they're down there training people how to invade our country, inviting up everybody, rapists, murderers, former deportees, terrorists, everybody.
00:24:14.540And then they're blaming Abbott, who, frankly, hasn't done enough for standing up and saying, we're not going to allow this anymore.
00:45:21.860Well, Jenny Beth Martin yesterday, Tea Party Patriots founder and chairman, throwing down hard here at the Turning Point USA Convention, restoring national confidence.
00:48:05.120Actually, it was Ken that introduced me to Steve Bannon in the war room about six years ago.
00:48:10.900And the thing was, I had had such an uneasy feeling about where our country was going.
00:48:16.700And watching the war room, I literally could put the pieces of the puzzle together and see this, oh, my gosh, it's all planned, it's all orchestrated, and it's to take this country down.
