Hello everybody, I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to the Great America Show. Great to have you with us.
00:00:05.580
This will be some week. Our southern border is under siege. Hundreds of thousands of illegal
00:00:11.640
immigrants expected to charge across that border in the next week. The Daily Mail reports that
00:00:18.040
Border Patrol agents have encountered more than 26,000 illegal immigrants. 7,000 of them apparently
00:00:25.120
got away just over the past three days. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will be with us here
00:00:30.940
today to give us an update on what is going on at that southern border with Mexico. We're now just
00:00:37.380
two days from the expiration of the Trump-era health law called Title 42. It allowed the Border Patrol to
00:00:45.180
turn away migrants at the border. The enactment of Title 42 in 2020 allowed the Border Patrol to
00:00:52.840
expel 2.7 million illegal immigrants. The Border Patrol expects 11,000 to 13,000 illegal immigrants
00:01:02.140
to breach the border each day in the following weeks. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is down at the
00:01:08.700
southern border and currently deploying a new Texas tactical border force trying to at least slow the
00:01:14.700
crossings of illegal immigrants into Texas. Here's Governor Abbott. So what we are doing is we are
00:01:20.820
deploying today a new Texas tactical border force made up of elite National Guard who are specifically trained
00:01:28.620
for one thing, and that is to identify areas where illegal immigrants are trying to cross the border and to
00:01:35.980
fill that gap and to repel them, to deny them access to entry into the United States. They can do it one of several
00:01:43.420
ways. They can physically turn back those who are trying to cross the border illegally. Also, they were building
00:01:49.620
immediate Constantinople wire border barriers that prevent people from coming across the border. You saw
00:01:56.040
an early iteration of this back in December when you saw long lines of people trying to cross into El Paso.
00:02:02.100
In a matter of 24 hours, the National Guard built a Constantinople wire border barrier and it stopped that
00:02:08.020
inflow immediately. We're using strategies like that up and down the border to identify locations where
00:02:13.900
the cartels are trying to smuggle people across the border and put a stop to it. And please listen to
00:02:19.000
the difference in tone. This time, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas speaking over the weekend from the Rio Grande.
00:02:27.300
I think that there is no question that this is going to be extremely challenging. I do not want to
00:02:33.300
understate the severity of the challenge that we expect to encounter. The border is a very, as I said
00:02:40.880
at the very outset, it is a difficult situation. It requires not only a community of action on this side
00:02:48.560
of the border, but it requires a community of action south of our border. We've been preparing for well
00:02:54.480
over a year. It was in September of 2021 when we first developed a six pillar plan to address the
00:03:03.280
end of Title 42. We updated that throughout the calendar year 2022. So we've been preparing for
00:03:11.300
quite some time and we are ready. What we are expecting is indeed a surge. And what we are doing
00:03:20.100
is planning for different levels of a surge. That is what we do. Alejandro Mayorkas in charge of bringing
00:03:27.340
as many illegal immigrants into the United States as is possible. Joining us now is the man fighting
00:03:34.720
all of this and more, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Mr. Attorney General, great to have you
00:03:40.780
back with us on The Great America Show. Well, no, that's exactly right. You have stated it correctly.
00:03:46.880
This is a government that ignores federal law, not just ignores it, but operates in complete violation
00:03:52.080
and encourages and sends signals to the cartels, bring as many people to the border as you can and
00:03:58.580
we'll take them. They don't have to run. They don't have to hide. We will do as much for you as you can
00:04:03.000
bring. So it tells the cartels, you know, they're making eight to 12,000 a person, tells the cartels
00:04:09.560
that they can increase their profits if they can just get more people here. And so that's what the
00:04:13.860
Biden administration done. It also signals to the cartels that the border is wide open for drug
00:04:18.900
importation, fentanyl. And the consequences of that obviously are devastating. The Biden administration
00:04:24.100
has done everything they can to encourage that and to empower and enrich the cartels to get really good
00:04:30.820
at it. To get really good at it with the assistance of the Biden regime. Mr. Attorney General, I can't
00:04:39.820
say it any other way. The Biden administration, Joe Biden, is an absolute complicit alliance with
00:04:49.560
the drug cartels. There's no doubt about it, is there? I don't know what more he could do to help
00:04:55.860
them other than send them money. I mean, they're already making billions of dollars off of his
00:05:01.240
policies that say, bring them here and we'll take them. You don't even have to hide. There's no
00:05:06.560
running. There's no like, you know, normally the border people try to sneak across. Not anymore
00:05:12.700
under Biden. The cartels have been told just, you know, no sneaking, just efficiency. Get as many
00:05:18.920
people here as fast. It doesn't matter what their backgrounds. They allow criminals in and they
00:05:23.800
actually are fighting us because we're trying to keep the criminals out. And the Biden administration
00:05:27.560
says, no, no, no, we want them to get them here. So it encourages all these countries to send their
00:05:33.020
worse people to our border. And the Biden administration says, please do.
00:05:38.160
And how do they express that? How are they communicating with Honduras, with Colombia,
00:05:45.360
with Venezuela, Mexico? How are they making it so clear? And in some way, obviously, supporting
00:05:53.840
their transportation from whatever their nationality, from South or Central America into
00:06:02.480
Mexico to cross the border. Well, I have no idea what they say privately, but I do know what they
00:06:08.160
do with law. And I know that, you know, Trump was very successful at limiting illegal immigration.
00:06:14.000
The numbers dropped significantly because he was enforcing the law. And so what the Biden
00:06:19.000
administration has done is they've focused on the things that Trump did well, the laws that were
00:06:24.300
enforced, like, you know, Title 42, the remain in Mexico, stop the catch and release, build the wall.
00:06:30.780
Those things are all eliminated. And so, I mean, Trump sent the message, hey, we're not going to
00:06:36.040
let you do this. Biden sent the message is not only we're going to let you do this, we're going to help
00:06:40.460
you. We're on your side. Do it as fast as you can. And we will empower you. You can be as rich as you
00:06:46.880
can, as much as you can do. We will make you as wealthy as you can be. Just get it done. And the
00:06:51.720
unfortunate thing is, obviously, kids are dying. And the cartels are using their resources,
00:06:56.860
which are significant now, to build infrastructure, not just in these other countries, but throughout
00:07:01.100
the United States, so that they can continue this, you know, forever.
00:07:05.400
And we know that they will. And HHS official testifying last week, that there are 85,000
00:07:13.540
children missing. And those are only the children that the agencies and the departments are aware of.
00:07:18.860
85,000 children missing. And no one has made a bust on sex trafficking that I'm aware of,
00:07:28.040
of any note in the last five years. What is going on?
00:07:33.260
If the Biden administration was not for that, it wouldn't happen. I mean, they would have kept,
00:07:39.200
they would be enforcing federal law. They would have been, they would have looked at what Trump did
00:07:43.840
and said, look, this actually works. Look at the numbers. And we all know what's happened to the
00:07:47.700
number since Trump left. Within a year, illegal immigration had increased 300%. It's likely to
00:07:53.280
increase more with Title 42 going away. So they targeted it. They said, what can we do to eliminate
00:08:00.160
the roadblocks for illegals, no matter what their background, to come into this country? And so I have
00:08:06.380
to say, the consequences of that are a lot of bad things that they knew would happen. But in their
00:08:11.300
minds, it's well worth it, whether kids are trafficked, whether sex trafficked or work trafficked,
00:08:17.080
or whether it's kids dying from fentanyl overdoses, they're willing to make that trade to get the
00:08:22.400
consequences that they want, which is more illegal immigration in our states, particularly in
00:08:27.060
Republican states where they're hoping that will cost us a lot and harm us because we're doing so
00:08:33.560
well as in comparison to Democratic states, this is a way to hurt us. And second, they're hoping for
00:08:38.800
votes from this. Well, there's no doubt that there is a cost and a high cost. But there is one that
00:08:47.580
often isn't measured. And that is the damage to the middle class working men and women and their
00:08:53.780
families in this country by bringing in labor that is not only competitive, but is undercutting the wages
00:09:00.900
of American citizens, the middle class, all of the working men and women who aspire to be part of that
00:09:07.160
middle class. And it is an obscenity what is being done to them by the millions. The idea that we would
00:09:16.580
sit here and put up with the outsourcing of millions of jobs by corporate America, and now they say,
00:09:22.320
we want more illegal labor. And away go, you know, the spigots open and here they come. I just cannot
00:09:31.000
comprehend what we're why, how they're getting away with it. We all know Alejandro Mayorkas sitting in front of
00:09:40.220
committee after committee, the Senate, the House, whomever lying through his teeth. And he sits there with that
00:09:45.800
smirk and says, you know, I just don't know how and I don't know why these people are surging across our border
00:09:52.620
right now. He's lying through his teeth. Yeah, there's no doubt. I mean, I think I should be impeached.
00:09:59.780
He's he's spit in the face of federal law. It's his job to enforce that federal law. And then he gets up
00:10:05.700
there and he lies to the American public and does it with a smile. Hey, there's no crisis. Well, I don't
00:10:13.020
know how I don't know how you can look at the numbers that he's looking at. Know the consequences of the
00:10:17.680
increase in deaths from fentanyl. Know the consequences of the increases in crime. Know the
00:10:22.280
consequences. You've lost eighty five thousand kids and probably a lot more and know what it's
00:10:26.940
doing to the American worker and that that, you know, human trafficking, sex trafficking is thriving.
00:10:32.300
I don't know how he can say we're not in a crisis or even that if there's at least say that I've got a
00:10:37.380
real problem. And yeah, we haven't done a very good job. No, he's he just lies and says everything's fine.
00:10:43.040
And I have never known a time when the Border Patrol, the Union for the Border Patrol said
00:10:50.120
point blank, this man, this administration is killing us and won't let us do our jobs. And we
00:10:57.560
have a crisis at the border. And everyone in the national media ignores it. They ignore the very
00:11:04.400
people who are charged that responsibility to implement security at our border. It's it's it's one of the
00:11:12.560
questions I want to continue to take up with you, if I may, Mr. Attorney General, we're talking with
00:11:17.480
Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of the great state of Texas. We'll continue our conversation about what
00:11:23.060
is mayhem on the border, the Texas border with Mexico. We're coming right back. We're back now
00:11:30.920
with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. How will you, Mr. Attorney General, be able to stop these
00:11:39.220
illegal immigrants? And to what degree will you be able to stop them, if at all?
00:11:43.840
So we're in many lawsuits. I think the key one, Title 42 is obviously gone, because they're ending
00:11:50.400
that whole policy of having an emergency group for this purpose. We've got a suit over the wall,
00:11:56.920
but that's only, you know, for what's been appropriated that he hasn't spent that he was
00:12:00.340
supposed to spend that won't solve the problem. That is actually the long term problem solved.
00:12:04.640
But it's the remain in Mexico. This is how they're using basically this this little exception that's
00:12:12.260
only supposed to be for political and religious persecution. And they're letting everybody just
00:12:17.580
claim asylum. And so we're in a lawsuit saying, hey, you're not following federal law. Under federal
00:12:22.500
law, you're supposed to either detain them or send them back to their country or their contiguous
00:12:27.920
country until they've had their hearing. Instead, they're bringing them all in. They say the magic
00:12:32.120
word. And then they transport them around the country to the places they want them to be.
00:12:36.860
And they disappear and they never come back. So if we can win that lawsuit, they actually have to
00:12:40.660
enforce federal law. My concern is that Joe Biden has no respect. His administration has no respect
00:12:46.300
for what the judges say, what Congress says. He operates independently of a constitutional government.
00:12:53.300
And unless we change presidents, I think we've got a guy that really literally doesn't view the
00:12:59.040
constitution as a limitation on his power, which means then we don't have a constitutional republic.
00:13:04.760
We have more of a ruling leader, whatever you want to call them, monarch, dictator, whatever. It's
00:13:12.560
I call them totalitarian Marxist dims because they are the ones who are in charge of this impaired
00:13:19.000
puppet president. And no one should make any mistake about it, folks. This president is nothing more
00:13:26.680
than a figurehead at best. He's being told what to do. In every instance, he can barely
00:13:31.340
find his way around. He can barely articulate coherent sentences. And he is doing precisely
00:13:38.000
what he's told. And that administration is being run by a cabal of Marxist dims who mean to destroy
00:13:44.820
this country. There's no equivocation about it. There's no ambiguity in any of this. And Mr. Attorney
00:13:51.780
General, when you talked about if this president were to be reelected, is your innovation, I don't
00:13:58.100
know if we've got until November of 2024. I really don't. This president has sent money to nation
00:14:05.940
states, Ukraine, that was not authorized. He has, I can't even think of a thing where he has turned a
00:14:14.860
major policy into a legislative proposition before Congress and the Senate. Can you? I mean,
00:14:21.260
he's for all practical purposes, a totalitarian dictator right now.
00:14:26.380
Yes. And if you look at what he's done, whether you look at the border that we know is a disaster,
00:14:31.000
even though they call it the opposite, whether you look at government spending and inflation,
00:14:35.580
whether you look at what's happened internationally with Ukraine or Afghanistan or Iran,
00:14:40.320
you can't do this much damage to the country unless you're trying to, not this fast. And the fact
00:14:47.360
that he's, you look at everything he's done, none of it is beneficial to the American, to the American
00:14:53.140
way of life, freedom. And, and, and so all I can do is surmise, this is not some accident. And now,
00:15:00.380
you know, he kind of gets away with it because everybody thinks he's incompetent, but the people
00:15:04.260
behind him do not, do not love this country. And they are doing as fast as they can. They're trying to do
00:15:09.840
as much harm as possible. And they've, they've done it. They're doing it. And we're, we're,
00:15:14.340
unfortunately, we, we voted for it, or maybe we didn't. We'll have to, hopefully someday we'll
00:15:19.640
know the truth to all of that. Yeah. That's still an open question, no matter what the Marxist Dems
00:15:25.680
want to say, no matter what the Supreme Court and other courts across the land refuse to do,
00:15:31.360
which is to, is to make a decision and a ruling on the facts before them on election integrity.
00:15:38.660
It is, it is truly a moment in history, no one could have projected five years ago. And yet,
00:15:46.180
here it is, as you've laid out the destruction, the devastation that is underway just because
00:15:51.540
of this one, this one president who is not nearly as inept as he is impaired and a puppet of his
00:16:00.960
masters, the Marxist Dem masters, who mean us great injury. I want to ask you exactly what do
00:16:09.580
you expect over the course of this will happen as of the 10th? What happens? What happens in the
00:16:16.860
great state of Texas? How many, how many people, millions of people do you expect to enter Texas?
00:16:23.400
Well, the numbers have already increased about 300% previous to this. They're anticipating,
00:16:27.940
and we, I think last month it was around 160,000. I could be off on which month, but you know,
00:16:33.100
we've, we've ranged from like 150 to 200,000 people crossing the border every month. Many of
00:16:37.980
those coming into Texas. And as you know, we have these sanctuary cities that said they wanted this,
00:16:43.180
get a few hundred or a few thousand, and they're going nuts saying they can't afford it. They have
00:16:47.440
no sympathy for what we're dealing with, which is literally that many people a day, five,
00:16:51.520
6,000 people a day, but those numbers are, are going to think at least everybody's predicting
00:16:55.560
they're going to get worse, which means more, more costs for the state of Texas, more crime,
00:17:00.600
more bad stuff. This is not the way to do illegal immigration. And it's not even good for the
00:17:04.900
immigrants because this is not the way that they should be treated either. That mean, many of them,
00:17:08.540
as you said, end up in very bad situations and they're controlled by the cartels. So if you want to
00:17:13.220
do immigration, let's do it legally and figure out the, the, the best way to do it, get the people here we
00:17:18.940
want. And honestly, that's, that's the way it's supposed to work. That's why it's supposed to
00:17:24.060
work. But you and I both know that isn't any part of Biden's plan or that of the Marxist Dems.
00:17:30.000
They are bringing in unskilled, uneducated, young male laborers, and, and they're, they're already
00:17:38.580
putting a heavy burden on the tax system of jurisdictions, whether they're cities, counties,
00:17:44.580
or states across the country. And, and nonprofits funded by people like George Soros and others
00:17:52.380
are putting money to bring them in, but paying very little to support them when they get here.
00:17:58.260
That rests with the, that responsibility rests with the American taxpayer, doesn't it?
00:18:02.840
Yes, it does. And look, we're all paying for it. I think they calculate that it's costing every
00:18:06.840
taxpayer between 11 and $1,200 a year out of their pockets. Then that number is only going up,
00:18:13.860
especially as borrowing costs go up. You know, we're borrowing the money to pay for all this.
00:18:17.600
This isn't like we have money sitting in the bank that we use to pay for this. We're borrowing the
00:18:21.700
money to get people to come here illegally. And that shouldn't, I mean, that shouldn't be the way
00:18:26.540
we do it. And if we're going to have a, a, a constitutional republic where the people have a
00:18:31.760
say, then this president has to be ticked out of office and we need to bring somebody in that will
00:18:37.360
You know, that's interesting that you put that. If we're going to be a constitutional republic,
00:18:42.960
I would put forward the proposition to you, Mr. Attorney General, that we do not have a
00:18:47.680
constitutional republic right now. The consent of the governed is essential. It is the foundational
00:18:55.420
requisite for a constitutional republic, the will of the people. And right now,
00:19:01.720
the Marxist Dems, the Democrat party doesn't give one hoot of what anyone thinks, not one single
00:19:10.640
voter because they are moving ahead with simply the executive power. And without, with the complicity,
00:19:18.700
of course, of the national corporate media, they're very happy with this situation.
00:19:22.600
Everyone's happy except for about 150 million workers, American citizens working for a living
00:19:28.960
right now. Among those will be some fools who think, oh, well, this is a great idea, but not
00:19:33.600
understanding the economics or the finances or the penalties that they'll be paying. But I just come
00:19:40.720
up against it every time. Has America become such a nation of sloths and foolish citizens that we can't
00:19:52.360
rise to this moment and understand what's happening? I mean, it's before our very eyes. I can't understand
00:19:57.820
why people aren't in the streets demanding, demanding Joe Biden and this administration
00:20:03.320
heave to and start supporting the American way of life, honor our constitution and our laws.
00:20:11.820
Look, I don't understand it either because we've all been harmed in various ways. And that harm is
00:20:17.400
coming, if it hasn't come to you yet through the economic policies of Joe Biden and the inflation
00:20:22.140
that's basically devaluing everything that you own, then it will someday because there's more crime
00:20:28.440
becomes rampant. Someday you, I mean, I'm from the area where we had that shooting yesterday. I mean,
00:20:34.280
that type of thing and the lawlessness that we've encouraged could affect you someday and it more
00:20:40.340
likely will as we have more and more crime imported into the country and as we have more and more
00:20:45.260
democratic cities, eliminating law enforcement and reducing the impact of our law enforcement people
00:20:52.540
to stop all this crime. This crime, which is rising, as you say, the expression, the expression
00:21:01.500
right now of the state of this government, when you see from the local level to the county, as I was
00:21:09.920
saying, in state governments, it's interesting. Law enforcement agencies are not sharing quickly,
00:21:15.900
if at all, a lot of the particulars that would be the normal who, what, which, where, why, and how
00:21:21.720
of journalists on the police and fire beat. And they don't want to give you the name of the perpetrator.
00:21:30.300
They don't want to tell you his or her race. They don't want to talk about the race of their
00:21:36.340
victims. We have become also a nation that has been silenced. Have you noticed that in law
00:21:47.480
enforcement, that they are really pushing the boundaries of this and defying the public's right
00:21:52.200
to know? Oh, there's no doubt. And part of it's because you have all these cities and counties that
00:21:57.720
don't want to have law enforcement. They've adopted George Soros model, which is, you know, crime is good.
00:22:04.420
It destabilizes the country. It makes it less, creates chaos, which is what George Soros wants.
00:22:09.940
He wants the destabilization of America. He does not want us to be the superpower of the world,
00:22:14.560
trying to control good and evil. He wants chaos, and he wants that power moved to some other part of
00:22:21.580
the world where they dictate to us from other parts of the world what's going to happen.
00:22:26.760
Attorney General Ken Paxton, we're coming right back with the Attorney General,
00:22:31.380
and we'll be talking about George Soros and his influence on everything from crime to that border.
00:22:38.540
We'll be right back. We're back with one of the country's great public servants. He's the Attorney
00:22:43.800
General of the great state of Texas. Ken Paxton with us today. Mr. Attorney General, are you getting
00:22:50.240
the support you need from the people of Texas, from the state legislature, from the governor?
00:22:55.940
You know what? I would say mostly yes. I'm still, the jury's still out on whether the Texas House is
00:23:04.440
going to pass our Stevens fix, which will allow me to prosecute voter fraud again. We had a
00:23:09.160
really bad decision by a super liberal court control, believe it or not, by Republicans, who I think
00:23:14.220
were largely influenced by people like Soros, who eliminated the Attorney General's ability to
00:23:19.680
prosecute voter fraud. And that's been around since 1951 in Texas. And they made this crazy ruling
00:23:25.060
saying it was unconstitutional for me to ever be in court, which is obviously insane. So I'm trying
00:23:29.880
to get that placed back into the law so that then we can go have some elections about this and
00:23:34.040
hopefully find different members of the Court of Crown Appeals that will actually follow what the
00:23:38.060
legislature put in place instead of trying to eliminate the ability of the Attorney General to
00:23:42.920
prosecute voter fraud. Because if I can't prosecute voter fraud, if the AG can't do it,
00:23:46.600
these local counties that have Soros-funded DAs will not prosecute voter fraud, which means that voter fraud
00:23:52.280
will become like it has in other states, in Georgia and Wisconsin and Michigan, where nothing ever
00:23:57.900
happens to you. And so there's no disincentive for doing it.
00:24:01.520
There's no disincentive. And the idea that the Attorney General is not allowed in court just leaves
00:24:11.720
This is insane. They said that because it's unconstitutional, because I'm in the executive
00:24:16.260
branch, and as an executive branch member, I'm not allowed in court. If they're right,
00:24:20.100
then the Texas Supreme Court should tell me to stop the 38,000 civil cases I've got going.
00:24:25.160
And every court in the country should strike down their AG's ability to go to court, which
00:24:29.340
obviously every other Attorney General is in court. That's what they do. And this has been true since
00:24:34.120
the founding of our country. But somehow our Court of Crown Appeals, again, all Republicans voted 8-1 to
00:24:38.260
say that the Attorney General can't be in court. That's unconstitutional, a violation of separation of
00:24:43.680
It's also illogical and bewilderingly stupid. I just don't understand how a court could convene.
00:24:53.420
Every time I try to file... We can't file criminal cases anymore because of that stupid
00:24:58.420
decision. Well, I don't think it was stupid. I think it was planned. I think they've planned
00:25:02.440
this for a long time. Soros got his DAs in the big counties, and then he worked on a so-called
00:25:08.140
Republican court that no one knows because no one pays attention to the Court of Criminal
00:25:12.020
Appeals, but they are now, or at least some people are, at least I am. And I think they
00:25:16.520
maneuvered this. They've got... So they know now that they can do whatever they want, and
00:25:23.140
Why is the Republican Party in the state of Texas, which we always think of as a big, bright
00:25:28.860
red state? How can they be so weak and so complicit in reducing, forget, supporting you? They're
00:25:39.600
actually undercutting you. How is it that they have arrived at this point in history?
00:25:45.780
Look, I think a lot of people are not aware because the media... I've been out talking about
00:25:48.700
this for now almost two years. They don't really cover it. So I have to do it on a small group
00:25:53.840
level. So we are educating people. But then, you know, you have people that have different
00:25:59.540
motivations, even among Republicans. The Senate is about to, I think, going to pass this bill to
00:26:05.400
give me the power back to reauthorize it tomorrow. They're supposed to vote it out tomorrow out of
00:26:11.580
committee, and then hopefully it gets to the floor. The House is sitting in, I think, it's sitting
00:26:17.060
in a couple of committees. There's a couple of bills that relate to this, and none of the Republican
00:26:20.680
members of those bodies have been willing to get that out. Unbelievable. I mean, it is just truly
00:26:27.700
unbelievable. So effectively, the Attorney General of Texas right now is not permitted to be enforcing
00:26:35.380
the law and being the state's chief law enforcement officer. That's correct. Things that I was given by
00:26:43.100
the legislature, not me, I wasn't alive in 1951, but they have been around a long time. This court of
00:26:48.740
criminal appeals struck down. And because they're the highest court on criminal matters, there's nowhere
00:26:53.340
to appeal it. And they, of course, knew that. And, you know, they basically sabotaged our state.
00:27:00.040
Is there implicitly in this, George Soros, is it his hand at work throughout the levels of the state
00:27:08.740
government and the various bodies of the state government?
00:27:12.420
Well, I've been told by Democrats who were in the DA positions that got beat that George Soros was
00:27:17.320
funding their opponents. And I was like, why? And they said, well, because we prosecute based on the
00:27:22.740
law. He wants prosecutors who want. So I know he's got his hand in changing the dynamics of who the
00:27:29.380
district attorneys are in these big liberal counties. But I thought it was genius when suddenly they
00:27:35.140
strike down the statute. Obviously, it was done, by the way, two days after the filing deadline to run
00:27:39.740
against any of them because I remember this. Yeah. Three of them were up and they waited till two
00:27:44.700
days after. And I was like, wow, this was really shrewd, really smart. No one's going to understand
00:27:51.200
this decision except me because I am the one that is supposedly enforcing these laws. And now I have
00:27:56.600
to go explain it to the world that no one cares about the court of criminal appeals, but they're going
00:28:00.840
to care. And if the legislature won't protect us, then we're going to lose Texas. It's just a matter of
00:28:07.580
time, probably a very short time. Well, I can remember our conversation as that was happening. We were
00:28:15.300
talking on this on the Great America Show here and I just scratched my head. I couldn't imagine this in
00:28:22.780
the state of Texas. Things have only worsened since then. Would you would you not say? Well, yeah, because
00:28:28.580
we have an opportunity. We're three weeks out from the legislature being over in this Texas House so far has
00:28:34.080
not even voted on this in committee. They've pended these bills in two different committees,
00:28:40.240
Judiciary Committee with a guy named Jeff Leach and then the State Affairs Committee. So there's two,
00:28:44.860
there's different bills that address different parts of this and they won't put it out.
00:28:50.940
And the obvious signs of the cartel's presence, has it significantly risen over the course of the
00:29:01.200
last few years in the in the state of Texas? Are the what I'm asking you, are the cartels actually
00:29:07.260
blatant in their presence and in their in their conduct? I think it's worse on the border, but it's
00:29:16.860
spreading. And if you if you're giving them the ability to make billions, they're going to protect
00:29:22.220
that empire. And so as time goes on and they have time to build infrastructure within the United States
00:29:27.980
as they send more and more people in to do that, because remember, the Biden administration is good
00:29:32.700
with they don't do but backgrounds. They don't care who's coming in. So I think you're going to see
00:29:37.360
they're going to build a network around the country. It may not be done in a week or a couple of months,
00:29:41.860
but they have the money to build the infrastructure. I want to quickly ask you, if I may, about two other
00:29:47.760
pursuits. You are investigating the Dell's Children's for Performing Gender Transitioning Procedures.
00:29:54.040
You're one of the few attorney generals in the country that is actively using your office to
00:30:01.580
protect children. Could you tell us where you are in that investigation? So that just started at the
00:30:07.400
beginning of May. They have 30 days, I think May 30th is their deadline to respond to our request.
00:30:12.340
We we basically send out questions about their policies, about their practices. How many of these
00:30:18.120
people have they done? They are claiming publicly they haven't done any. But, you know, we we had some
00:30:23.680
information from different sources that said they had. And so we're going to try to find out the
00:30:27.740
truth. And if if they are, then the consequences will be what the consequences are, depending on
00:30:32.020
what they've done. If they haven't done it and they they can prove it, then they'll be fine.
00:30:38.820
And your your investigation into the covid vaccine manufacturers, tell us where that stands.
00:30:45.480
So that was also sent out. They're called the same thing we sent out because civil investigative
00:30:48.860
demand their questions about, you know, what did they know? When did they know it? What were their
00:30:54.400
what were their trials? What did they say? Did they did they? You know, they went out and said this was
00:30:58.480
safe, that it was effective, that you wouldn't you wouldn't have to wouldn't transmit.
00:31:03.240
We just want to know if all of that was true, because even though they're they're protected by federal
00:31:08.900
government from liability for producing a vaccine that is ineffective or potentially dangerous,
00:31:14.680
they're not protected for lying about it in Texas or other in many other states. So if they lied,
00:31:21.800
if Pfizer, Johnson, Johnson, Moderna or any of those any of those companies lied and presented
00:31:27.940
something that was not true to consumers, which caused them to rely on this and their side effects
00:31:33.000
or they just lied about the effectiveness, then that's a problem.
00:31:36.760
Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, as I said, one of the country's great public servants
00:31:43.600
and doing Texas proud. Thanks for being with us here on The Great America Show. God bless you.

00:32:03.600
Joining us here tomorrow, right here on The Great America Show, will be John Solomon,
00:32:08.100
founder and editor in chief of Just the News. More on the border crisis that is worsening
