00:00:26.160 and riley act that's going to the senate is the senate going to block it or not and if so why

00:00:32.880 john andrasik joins us with uh something a little bit about uh israel and ken paxton the attorney

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 0.84

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

00:02:16.400 pre-born.com slash beck

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 0.66

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

00:04:22.000 look at biden and it's nut job central

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 0.96

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

00:14:17.680 well thank you thank you go ahead you bet bye-bye bernie moreno um from ohio the now official gop candidate

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.63

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 0.95

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

00:36:51.840 the attorney general of uh the great state of texas why do i feel like history we just lived history

00:37:00.400 please pray for peace please pay for play pray for peace um just on your knees beg
