00:00:39.520
general of uh the great state of texas who answered a question of mine in a way i have not heard
00:00:49.120
ever on national radio or television uh from a man of his stature it felt like history uh and it was a
00:00:59.200
little bone chilling uh probably because it's true to many people in america our podcast begins right
00:01:07.680
after this okay let me tell you about our sponsor it's pre-born every day that you and i wake up and
00:01:14.560
draw breath we should be thankful for the gift of life we should want to spread that gift to others
00:01:20.160
there's so many people that are like life doesn't matter my life doesn't matter it does it does we're
00:01:26.880
all born for a reason and once you just kind of organize your life onto some universal principles
00:01:33.760
man life changes and it gets so much better uh there are children now that are um being killed through
00:01:41.280
abortion and much of it is because of well evil in some cases you know i'm gonna shout my abortion
00:01:49.520
okay that's weird and maybe a little just a touch of evil um the rest of it is because of
00:01:56.960
misunderstandings propaganda or fear and and well-founded fear moms don't think that they have
00:02:03.280
anybody to support them they do will you help save children with pre-born go to pre-born.com
00:02:10.880
slash beck 28 bucks can mean the difference between life and death pound 250 keyword baby
00:02:27.440
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program u.s senate candidate for the gop
00:02:34.400
won the primary last night in ohio bernie moreno how are you sir
00:02:38.720
i'm great glenn thank you for having me it was a uh pretty resounding victory let me give you some
00:02:44.560
quick numbers three three in a three-way race almost 51 percent of the vote almost 18 point
00:02:50.800
wow and we've won all 88 counties every single county we won holy cow that is great that is great
00:03:00.000
now the democrats i mean i i love your enemies first of all the democrats spent about three million
00:03:07.200
dollars uh on ads against you then you have uh then you have mitch mcconnell who i know who i know for
00:03:18.720
a fact hates your ever-living guts both of those things speak highly of you well the democrats uh put
00:03:28.080
an ad out there tying me to president trump as if that was a uh some sort of negative the reality is i wear
00:03:33.760
my support of and for president trump with a badge of honor what will be interesting is to see if
00:03:40.160
sherrod brown will wear with a badge of honor his 99 percent voting record with joe biden or whether
00:03:47.200
he'll hide your cat whenever biden shows up in ohio right i mean they they always try to paint
00:03:54.080
donald trump as an extremist i didn't see anything extreme that he did i i i was not a fan of donald trump
00:04:01.600
the first time around because i thought he would be a little you know unhinged and most likely lean
00:04:07.840
towards liberal i was wrong on that admitted that and i you look at his policies and you look at the
00:04:15.200
history of what we went through it was pretty good it was pretty good and not extreme but you
00:04:28.880
it is it is absolutely out of control i mean it's very this is basically a conversation between
00:04:33.680
people who love america and believe in common sense and people who hate this country and are
00:04:37.680
completely out of their minds because the policies really shouldn't even be controversial
00:04:42.640
this is about legal immigration zero tolerance for illegal immigration energy dominance not depending on
00:04:48.480
other countries for oil putting uh the parents and local communities in charge of their kids education
00:04:54.160
having peace and stability around the world versus having uh potentially world war iii at every corner
00:04:59.760
of the globe this isn't even close this is why last night it was a repudiation of the republican
00:05:05.280
party of the past the party that thought that it was better to appease democrats than actually appease
00:05:10.560
their voters so bernie um tell me about yourself why did you decide to do this you know how's your soul
00:05:22.240
well i was a uh i i came to the u.s as a kid i moved to uh the united states when i was just about
00:05:28.080
five years old from columbia south america became a citizen the first opportunity i could the greatest
00:05:33.200
gift my parents gave me was bringing me to this country i was able to get to ohio about 20 years ago
00:05:38.080
about a small tiny little business built it into a great business this country gave me all the
00:05:42.800
opportunities on earth that i could ever have dreamed about and this is about making certain that we
00:05:47.360
preserve that ability that ability to do whatever you set your mind out to no matter who you are
00:05:53.200
or the circumstances of your birth the color of your skin whatever your background is you can do
00:05:58.160
anything in america if you work hard enough that's what the left hates they want government
00:06:03.920
dependency they want to tell us how to live our lives they they have this paternalistic view of
00:06:08.720
governing and that's what we're going to repudiate and the american people are sick and tired of career
00:06:15.040
politicians that care more about themselves and their career than actually helping this country
00:06:22.160
so bernie i i i want to i don't know if you're a religious person at all but um you know i james lindsey
00:06:30.560
uh i don't know if you know who he is um but he is a he's an atheist and uh i was talking to him
00:06:38.640
last time we sat down together i guess maybe a year ago and i said i need your help james because i'm
00:06:44.400
looking at what's happening in our country and i look at what's happening in washington and because it is
00:06:50.880
preaching you can't do it there is no uh you know salvation it's all collective salvation they're beating
00:06:59.920
people down they're separating us you know uh by color i can't think of another word other than
00:07:06.320
evil and he said yeah i think that's the only word that um uh it could be applied at this scale
00:07:16.080
are you have you ever encountered real evil because you're about to if you go to washington
00:07:21.520
oh i i encountered it in my own primary uh you know the darkest forces in this country collude uh
00:07:28.160
the cabal is real something i never would have thought of as a business person before i get into
00:07:32.800
politics this group of far left extremists that control the democrat party with spineless republicans
00:07:39.920
combined with a media that absolutely does their bidding to fight anybody who goes against their
00:07:45.920
their vision of this country uh but to answer your original question glenn this country does not exist
00:07:52.560
without god it does not there is this nation was founded on a principle that our rights come from
00:07:58.960
somebody above government which is the almighty if we don't believe that then we have to believe
00:08:04.960
that our rights come from some government official which is the whole cornerstone of what our democratic
00:08:10.800
republic is all about so what are the things that compelled you to get in what are the what are the
00:08:18.560
things and who are the people that you will uh partner with in in the senate that you think these
00:08:26.400
guys get it i am on that team i look at jd vance great friend of mine i'm going to be a great partner
00:08:33.440
with him we're going to have a great delegation here in ohio people like mike lee bill haggerty rand paul
00:08:39.520
ted cruz uh marco rubio roger marshall tommy tomberville you you were the conservatives are
00:08:45.760
going to band together in the united states senate come 2025 and we're going to do something novel
00:08:50.800
glenn we're actually going to put in the agenda that every republican campaigns on every republican
00:08:57.120
campaigns on the same issue sets it's just that some of them forget why they got to washington dc
00:09:02.640
and who they're accountable to and we're going to change that next year by the time july 4th of
00:09:07.280
2026 comes around glenn we're going to get we're going to have our country back we're going to
00:09:11.360
celebrate the fact that this country's going to be better for our kids and grandkids because the
00:09:16.160
best years of this country are ahead of us not behind us but it just takes all of us to lean in
00:09:20.640
and and save this country which is what we're going to do so um when people say that um you know
00:09:29.280
you're a conservative or you're as they say about you i think you're a mega mega fighter um they do
00:09:37.600
everything they can christian nationalists to make us look like crazy people and you know some people i
00:09:44.720
guess you know maybe are on the right or the left i i i know they exist but i am a constitutional
00:09:52.320
conservative that is a christian i fight for the declaration of independence the constitution
00:10:00.480
and the bill of rights and i will fight against anybody and i think i have a pretty clear record on
00:10:06.160
this anyone left or right friend or foe if you start to uh violate the the bill of rights and and our
00:10:16.240
constitution would you stand against just for the people that maybe are afraid of donald trump because
00:10:23.120
he's such a crazy man would you stand against donald trump if he was trying to do things that
00:10:29.360
were unconstitutional of course but he doesn't uh the person who tries to do things that are
00:10:34.960
unconstitutional is the current occupant of the white house but you're exactly right the duty that
00:10:39.200
every elected official has is to uphold the constitution as written there's a document that uh really
00:10:45.920
was something that you put a time and place where these men were in one place one geography
00:10:52.640
in a certain time and place and it's an amazing document you look at the declaration of independence
00:10:57.600
it lays out the mission statement of the country i call the i was in the auto business i called the
00:11:02.800
constitution the owner's manual we need to look at the owner's manual to understand how to operate
00:11:07.440
the country but we're not doing that though we're not doing that we're doing the exact opposite i'll tell
00:11:12.800
you a story real quick that you'll really appreciate i was down in miggs county one of
00:11:16.800
the poorest counties in ohio a gentleman there happened to be a truck driver raised his hand at
00:11:20.880
one of our sessions with me and my opponents and he said what does article one section one of the
00:11:25.520
constitution say that's a question from a truck driver in miggs county ohio because what he knew was
00:11:32.160
that we're not following that which is that all legislative powers are are to be held in a
00:11:37.520
congress united states he knows that how many elected officials know that because we're not
00:11:42.880
following that simple idea now i've heard from everybody who has gone to congress or the senate
00:11:50.720
that i respect they all say every almost every politician here pays lip service to the constitution
00:11:58.960
in the declaration but the only time that it is ever truly discussed or taken into consideration
00:12:05.200
is when there's a voter around they'll talk a good game but they don't really care about it at all
00:12:10.560
and you know it's funny that you said you know our mission is clearly stated in uh the declaration i call
00:12:17.680
that i mean it's clear that's our mission statement and you're exactly right i call the constitution
00:12:24.080
our our owner's manual that's our how-to book and of course men never read a manual so maybe we should
00:12:30.960
you know maybe we should concentrate that on that a little bit because everything that is happening
00:12:36.160
that is wrong with the country and putting us on the wrong track is the fact that we are violating
00:12:42.320
not only the constitution on the way things are supposed to be done congress needs to take
00:12:47.600
its power back but also an out of control administrative state uh and a violation of
00:12:55.600
almost every single uh right in the bill of rights almost every day nobody's quartering horses or troops
00:13:02.240
in my house yet but i you know i could make a case that google is no you're exactly right and it's
00:13:09.200
it's fascinating to me to watch these career i call them job-seeking career politicians because i think
00:13:14.000
that's also what my election showed is a repudiation of that i think our founders understood instinctively
00:13:20.560
that government will eventually uh let without restraint have tyranny over its people just by its very
00:13:27.440
nature and so they understood the way to fix that is you send people who've done something outside
00:13:32.400
of government go there to serve and then most importantly come home that last part is critical come home this is not
00:13:41.280
we were never intended in this country to have a political class we're intended to have a citizen-led
00:13:46.000
legislature where the government is small we have decentralized power because the big the bigger the
00:13:51.840
people we the people are the smaller government is but look at we've almost gotten to the point
00:13:56.880
where government is in charge of our every aspect of our lives and we have to fight that back and i think
00:14:02.800
i think there's a movement glenn in this country that really understands that and we're going to get our country back
00:14:08.480
yeah bernie thank you great talking to congratulations again on a huge victory in ohio last night thank you

00:15:36.000
now back to the podcast you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:15:41.120
senator mike lee welcome to the program sir thank you glenn be with you as always
00:15:52.720
yeah um we've got a ton of topics to go through i want to see if we just go through some of these
00:15:58.080
things as quickly as we can to get some understanding first of all can we start with texas i don't i'm not
00:16:03.840
sure if you uh are up to speed on all of it but if the supreme court ruled how can a lower court
00:16:13.520
reinstate the stay that the supreme court said was no good yeah look uh texas and the court system
00:16:23.040
surrounding texas law as before uh really is contributing meaningfully to march madness uh we've
00:16:29.600
got a lot of back and forth now the important thing to remember is that there there wasn't a
00:16:35.520
ruling on the merits by the supreme court in this case correct what we saw yesterday was the court
00:16:40.800
declining to issue an administrative state just declining to stop things it was the lower court
00:16:47.840
right to stay on it as the case is being argued uh before the u.s court of appeals for the fifth
00:16:53.600
circuit today now the fifth circuit includes the state of texas and they're hearing arguments on
00:17:00.720
the merits of the case and so within i i don't know it could be uh as short as a few days likely
00:17:07.280
it'll be a few weeks the fifth circuit will issue a ruling my understanding of the state that's in effect
00:17:13.840
now put in place by the lower court is it that will remain in the in effect until they decide this
00:17:19.760
or probably in a few weeks time well but i don't understand how a stay when you have something
00:17:28.720
like this the country is hemorrhaging it's hemorrhaging our borders are wide open we're
00:17:34.160
hemorrhaging you go to a doctor and he's like well before we put that tourniquet on let's hold on here
00:17:41.440
and you would think that everybody would look at that doctor go um hemorrhaging i think while you make
00:17:47.600
a decision maybe we should just stop the hemorrhaging first and then we can talk about it
00:17:53.120
why isn't that the case i you know that that is uh a little baffling to me it seems like a bad choice
00:18:00.800
now i haven't seen the the lower courts written ruling on this most recent action uh sometimes
00:18:07.280
courts will do this in order to preserve the status quo while the litigation is being worked out but
00:18:13.360
that seems uh troubling here to to put it mildly because they have an obligation they have a duty
00:18:20.560
they certainly have authority under article one section 10 of the constitution to protect themselves
00:18:25.680
against an invasion this texas law as before um it gives texas the uh authority to to detain the
00:18:34.160
illegal immigrants take them to the border present them with two options leave the country or be
00:18:38.880
prosecuted for illegal entry and face jail time now why you would want to maintain the status quo the
00:18:46.000
status quo in which uh this uh bloodbath that joe biden has himself created through an open border
00:18:54.720
resulted in the death of so many people is beyond my ability to understand okay so um let me ask you one
00:19:02.800
other question if this if the state of texas wins the right to actually enforce the law which is insanity
00:19:10.560
to me um does will that apply to other states as well or is it just texas well in any litigation glenn
00:19:19.760
technically the only parties who are immediately governed by the ruling are the parties before the
00:19:25.920
court so technically speaking that ruling would apply only to the state of texas that said the
00:19:32.480
precedent that will be set there uh would would likely be uh controlling and um in the states in
00:19:41.360
the u.s court of appeals for the fifth circuit uh in including not only texas uh but but uh other
00:19:48.560
states including louisiana where the case is being argued today so it would certainly apply there and then
00:19:53.840
that precedent would likely be looked to by other circuits uh in other states around the country
00:20:01.280
as they handle similar cases if other states adopt similar laws well i just know that you know we all
00:20:07.440
had to live by the arizona law um you know so when they lost that it kind of affected everybody else
00:20:14.320
at the border as well um mike one one last question the president of mexico came out yesterday and said
00:20:21.920
well you're not sending them back here as somebody who dealt with the state department and this
00:20:26.640
government trying to get 18 000 people out of afghanistan and some of them our own special forces
00:20:35.360
that were left behind i know that the state department can call ahead and say you know what
00:20:41.840
we can't vouch for this plane don't let this plane land that's our recommendation and they all follow that
00:20:47.920
can if we start deporting people can the state department get involved and do that i in this
00:20:58.560
administration uh the for the very reasons you just described i remember talking to you uh at the time
00:21:04.320
you were trying to get people out of faskanistan glenn and realizing the insane degree to which
00:21:10.400
the state department was willing to make people's lives hell um so i wouldn't put it past them to try
00:21:16.800
just the same i also wouldn't mess with texas or discount the ability of the state of texas to
00:21:22.000
figure out workarounds there uh if if one route doesn't work they might try another one and i
00:21:27.840
suspect they would succeed um i want to talk to you about the um uh about the freedom of speech thing
00:21:37.440
you and i were talking the other day and you were a little afraid that this may not go the the way of
00:21:44.000
the people um i know you're hoping for a different outcome but you you're also you know paid to think
00:21:50.400
on the you know the other side as well do that do you think that we have a chance of really a real
00:21:55.920
chance of losing the freedom of speech uh argument in front of the court where the government can just
00:22:03.520
lean on companies and tell them who to silence and who to promote
00:22:08.960
yeah i think there's a real chance of that glenn and it's devastating that would be unfortunate that
00:22:14.560
is not the outcome i hope for uh there is nonetheless a possibility that the state of
00:22:19.920
missouri will lose in this case uh i wasn't president of the courtroom yesterday but i've listened to the
00:22:25.680
argument it's available online and uh it's a fascinating argument uh but look this case is really
00:22:33.520
important it's important uh i i think for missouri to win here because if the government can violate
00:22:39.360
your rights when there's trouble just because there's trouble you don't have rights that's not
00:22:43.760
what the u.s constitution does it's it's not there as justice jackson seemed to suggest with one of
00:22:49.440
her questions yesterday uh to make things easy for the government it is there uh uh literally to
00:22:58.240
hamstring the government to make it more yes yes to do this uh but yeah there's a chance losing this
00:23:04.880
year some of the questions yesterday many of them focused on this issue of standing who has standing to
00:23:10.880
sue and there is some difficulty uh there's some risk to the plaintiffs in this case that they won't be
00:23:19.280
able to sufficient to satisfy uh the court's exacting requirements on standing to show that any one of
00:23:26.080
them was directly harmed by any particular government action taken in this case that's an important
00:23:33.200
constitutional element that's a jurisdictional element so if if the court sounds find that way if the if
00:23:38.400
the government is violating if the government is violating um people's first amendment rights all over
00:23:47.040
the country why doesn't a state ag that represents the people have standing
00:23:54.320
yeah either the state ag who represents some of these people or some of the individuals themselves
00:24:01.120
because there is evidence that some of them were harmed and they were harmed by this government
00:24:06.240
action that's why i hope the court doesn't get stuck on that argument because i think there is
00:24:11.840
sufficient evidence upon which they could find article three constitutional standing there to establish
00:24:17.280
that you've got to show that uh you suffered an injury in fact uh that that you you you were uh
00:24:23.760
subjected to that injury as a result of someone else that that caused you the injury and that the court is
00:24:30.080
capable of remedying that injury in fact it's fairly traceable to the conduct of the defendants i think there's
00:24:36.000
more than enough evidence for at least some of these plaintiffs uh for the court to find standing and i i really hope
00:24:43.200
that they handle this the right way but i think if they're going to lose that's probably the most likely
00:24:48.080
ground on which they lose and that's worrisome you are listening to the best of glenn back to listen
00:24:54.880
to the rest of this interview check out the full show podcast we have ken paxton on ken the attorney
00:25:02.000
general from the great state of texas how are you sir i'm doing well pretty crazy stuff going on right now
00:25:07.680
as usual i know um thank you for joining us i know you're you're you're getting ready for your
00:25:14.400
argument uh with the appellate court uh today can you tell me what happened yesterday the supreme court
00:25:21.680
said texas can begin arresting and then i get up this morning and the appellate court says no no no not
00:25:28.800
so fast well this is one of the more confusing and maybe inexplicable things i've witnessed in the
00:25:34.880
court so it started off in district court with the biden administration and a little group called
00:25:39.760
the aclu sued us saying that as before was unconstitutional we didn't have the right to expel
00:25:45.760
anybody from the country no matter how bad they were so we the judge and that they you know where
00:25:51.760
they filed the lawsuit put an injunction on our law so it couldn't go into effect on march 4th
00:25:57.200
the date it was supposed to go into effect we appealed that a three-judge panel ruled in our favor
00:26:02.080
we got the uh the stay lifted but they put what's called an administrative stay on it to give the
00:26:07.600
supreme court a chance to review it he goes up to the supreme court the supreme court says uh no fine
00:26:12.560
six zero uh it can go into effect and so we're good we're happy within hours we are notified by a new
00:26:20.800
panel of the supreme court uh priscilla owen is i think a bush appointee and then uh we have a liberal
00:26:27.600
judge appointed by one of the democrats and we had andy olum who ruled in our favor so we lost two to
00:26:32.320
one they put another stay back in but then they ordered us to have a uh a hearing within less than
00:26:39.440
12 hours from finding out so actually my guy is arguing by zoom right now uh at the court in in
00:26:47.680
new orleans the fifth circuit and that three judge panelist so it's a really odd argument because
00:26:51.680
they removed the stay but then they said that's what the argument's about so it's it's almost like
00:26:58.240
they've already decided but they still want us to argue the case i don't know i've never seen it like
00:27:03.440
it i don't understand it it's bizarre yeah i was talking to mike lee today um and he said you know
00:27:10.800
stays are usually to stay from harm what we have going on here is a whole lot of harm we have crime we
00:27:20.080
have killers we have just a just an invasion of our border uh and and it should be that the the
00:27:30.000
court should say no no let him arrest until we look at everything instead the harm that is is being
00:27:38.000
perceived i guess by this court is to the illegal alien yes to the illegal alien and to the biden
00:27:45.440
administration's partnership with cartels that's that's the harm we are harming the cartel
00:27:49.920
relationship and that's i don't know how else to put it if the court defends this if they block us
00:27:55.200
from enforcing legitimate past law by the legislature signed by the governor then they are saying we want
00:28:02.000
to protect any harm that might come to the the illegal immigrants and to the biden administration's
00:28:07.040
work with the cartels that's the reality where we're at now so what is your guy arguing i wish we
00:28:13.920
could listen in what he's arguing exactly what you're saying that there's no harm and let this
00:28:22.080
law stay in effect let us argue the merits of the case and you you let us have the opportunity to
00:28:29.040
uphold and defend a you know purposely enacted law by the texas legislature the people so when is
00:28:38.160
representatives when are they going to when when is this going to be decided uh i mean i know the
00:28:45.920
stay is for today the trial i guess they would announce something within a couple of days on the
00:28:51.200
on the stay but i think what about the full case like fast i mean they've already removed the stay so
00:28:57.280
i mean the or the administrative stay of the stay so confusing uh because there was a you know a stay in
00:29:04.560
place and then they had an administrative administrative stay of the stay that's why it's
00:29:09.360
so hard to explain so what they would do is i i think they're going to rule very quickly because
00:29:15.120
look how fast they went they the supreme court you know gave us the uh the victory yesterday afternoon
00:29:21.680
and by you know within an hour or two the fifth circuit priscilla and this other judge said no you
00:29:28.400
can't this law can't stay in effect we're going to let the stay go back into effect that the original
00:29:33.760
judge put in place and now you have to argue this tomorrow at 10 10 in the morning which i've
00:29:38.000
never had an argument turn around that fast on something so significant but even on something
00:29:43.040
minor i mean it's just that's what's so strange about this that's part of it and it's also strange
00:29:47.440
that the fifth circuit would sort of step past the supreme court and say well we're gonna we're gonna
00:29:52.720
stop this from going in effect and it's despite the fact that exactly you said the harm is to texas
00:29:57.840
there is no harm to the i mean i will acknowledge harm to the cartels i will acknowledge that they are being
00:30:02.160
harmed and that they're supposed to get people in here it is true we are harming the cartels so
00:30:06.880
that's what we're trying harm to the drug industry harm to the fentanyl pushers harm to the drug
00:30:13.360
traffickers the human traffickers yeah so yes yes i will acknowledge that in public in court anywhere we
00:30:20.720
are harming them yes um so that that was the other question and you just touched on it how does a lower
00:30:29.120
court usurp the supreme court so they basically the supreme court just put it back down to the fifth
00:30:37.520
circuit and said we're not we're not gonna uh undo the administrative stay of the stay and so they
00:30:45.920
they they left our our law in place but the fifth circuit still has control of the case right now because
00:30:53.040
it's back down with them and they can they can rule however they want and they can protect you know if
00:30:58.480
they want to protect the cartels they can protect the cartels it's it's within their power to do that
00:31:06.320
another thing that happened overnight and this is the first thing i was worried worried about i saw
00:31:11.440
this late last night um and then i saw oh well we don't have to worry about that as much as we do
00:31:18.160
maybe uh people inside our own country the president of mexico said texas isn't going to return anybody to
00:31:25.280
the border of mexico or fly them into mexico which made me think of the 18 000 people that we finally
00:31:33.120
got out of afghanistan we were thwarted by the uh department of state every day all the time several
00:31:42.720
times a day we had a plane with refugees in the air and uh we had a place to land another country had
00:31:50.640
already okayed it and the state department called and said uh we can't vouch for that plane so i
00:31:56.320
wouldn't allow it to land and they they stopped us from flying any place can the can the governments
00:32:04.960
do that to texas i i it seems wrong to me i mean look we also have this case supreme court just
00:32:12.960
knocked out our um we had an injunction from the fifth circuit that stopped that's you know the the
00:32:19.040
30 000 people that they're flying in flying in from venezuela nicaragua cuba cuba and uh venezuela
00:32:26.960
so 30 000 a year a month are being flown in we're paying for it state the state the the country is
00:32:32.400
paying for this the biden administration is paying for it's completely illegal and we had an injunction
00:32:37.280
to stop it in the supreme court just literally like i think it was a week ago i got rid of our
00:32:42.240
injunction so now those 30 000 people don't even have to come to the border we're paying for them to
00:32:48.000
come to the country illegally i can't make this stuff up it's i don't i don't yeah i don't know
00:32:56.000
i'm trying to figure out the distinction between the injunction and a stay what the difference is
00:33:02.240
there but it's all i'm sorry it's all it's language that it that they use but no i know basically we had
00:33:08.960
an injunction stopping the biden administration from importing 30 000 people a month from those four
00:33:14.320
countries the the four i mentioned and the supreme court six to three said no the injunction goes away
00:33:21.760
go back and litigate this case so here we are we now have 30 000 people a month and we can't stop it
00:33:28.960
until we get through this case which is going to take us you know who knows how long so 30 every month
00:33:34.000
30 000 more we're paying for this are going all over the all over the country from those four countries
00:33:38.960
i mentioned and then on top of that now texas has an injunction stopping us from enforcing our own
00:33:44.640
laws uh protecting our state from illegal immigration so it it's very frustrating because
00:33:50.880
it seems like it's even when we get rulings that allow us to go back to court they're the rulings that
00:33:57.360
allow it to take years and so you know a year goes by and another 300 000 people fly across the border
00:34:03.360
they don't even go to border patrol anymore they just fly in ken i i'm sure you know this because
00:34:12.160
you live in texas as well um you know there's an old saying don't mess with texas and um you know
00:34:20.080
fortunately or unfortunately whichever way you want to look at it um a lot of texans mean that and uh a
00:34:27.600
lot of texans are seeing this as an invasion and they're seeing this out of control government um
00:34:35.600
you know doing exactly what you just said and destroying us intentionally poisoning us and
00:34:42.400
there's a lot of texans that i i think are you know kind of up to here how do we how do we diffuse this
00:34:50.960
um this back and forth how do we diffuse it so it just doesn't get to a boiling point
00:34:58.560
that you you can't turn down uh look i i mean all we can do i i have lawyers people all the time say
00:35:05.120
why don't you do more i'm like well the the legislature gives me lawyers i don't give me
00:35:09.680
tanks or anything else so i just go and fight where i can fight i think eventually if if you have such
00:35:15.600
disdain if the federal government has such disdain for the law and the constitution then eventually
00:35:20.800
the people have a right to to say no we're not putting up with this anymore and and the declaration
00:35:24.960
of independence is is clear on that these rights are inalienable they're from god they're not from
00:35:29.120
joe biden they're not from donald trump they are inalienable and we have a right to those rights and
00:35:35.200
eventually the people have to find a way to overcome that and what that is i don't know but
00:35:39.680
hopefully the next election will speak to that and those rights will start being honored as fundamental
00:35:45.280
rights to human beings that is um one of the most um amazing statements i think i've ever heard from
00:35:59.120
a government official um um i i hope we i hope the next election with you i hope the next election solves
00:36:09.200
these things because we're in constitutional crisis after constitutional crisis we are on our way it's
00:36:15.920
got to stop we are not there if we're not there now we don't have a constitutional republic if if the
00:36:21.680
rule of law and the constitution can be put aside set aside and and flip to mean anything that you know
00:36:28.560
a few justices think it means and they can dishonor fundamental rights that were guaranteed in our
00:36:34.640
constitution then now we're back to the declaration of independence and that is a big place to be as
00:36:41.440
you know yeah ken paxton god bless you thank you um we'll pray for your win today god bless thank you
