00:06:19.760This is Eric Kahn's point, giving him some props.
00:06:22.760Eric Kahn's point now played out in real life.
00:06:26.280five four decision with the supreme court barely a majority a conservative otherwise normally
00:06:32.900conservative uh a female supreme court justice votes um for for what what does she vote for
00:06:39.360she votes for uh the stranger the alien the foreigner because she's thinking like a mother
00:06:46.080and an adoptive mother so she's thinking in in the framework of nurturing the way that women
00:06:51.180were designed by god it's a wonderful thing yeah i just don't think you should be on the supreme
00:06:55.140court um and and not because i'm talking about in this case women period not not adopt mothers uh
00:07:00.920women who happen to be mothers of adopted children i i do believe that that that is a position um in
00:07:05.600the civil magistrate that should be held by uh qualified men but but you know you have a woman
00:07:10.900who her her gear is towards being nurturing if if anything she's more nurturing than kataji brown
00:07:15.760jackson by virtue of being a conservative mother um and and then and not just a mother but she
00:07:20.780actually has adopted children um you know children who were not her own but who are now
00:07:26.040the adoption makes it legally her children and biblically spiritually they are her children um
00:07:31.420but but then the fact that that woman on this issue um sides with other nations that are not
00:07:38.100actually her native nation it's not uh the children of america but the children of the
00:07:42.740foreigner uh that is not a coincidence and so that's what happens and governor abbott i'll be
00:07:47.500honest, I am surprised, albeit pleasantly surprised, but I didn't think he would battle this.
00:07:53.740You've got the Federal National Guard versus the Texas National Guard. They came in and said,
00:07:59.020Texas, you've got to remove the razor wire that you're wrapping around the necks of two-year-olds,
00:08:04.780which is just absolutely, it's barbed wire that's in the river, that's visible to deter people,
00:08:12.540not to hurt people, but to say, don't do this. If you do this, you're hurting yourself. We are not
00:08:17.060hurting you. You are hurting yourself. It is to deter people from breaking the law, from illegally
00:08:21.680entering into the country. But you have Biden sent in his goons to slice the wire, remove it,
00:08:30.140and Governor Abbott is now using the Texas National Guard in defiance of the Supreme Court
00:08:35.240and our current presidential administration saying, no, this is a constitutional issue.
00:08:40.940You have declared treason of sorts on the United States of America and certainly on the state of
00:08:45.720texas because this is an invasion level crossing that's going on with military aged men it's
00:08:52.140endangering our citizens and so he's taking a stand and hold he's going to hold them off we'll
00:08:57.020see i hope i pray but hold off uh the federal goons and the texas national guard is putting
00:09:02.860the wire back in and if biden stands his ground which he probably won't because it's an election
00:09:08.100year and like 80 of the country even if you're democrat 80 of the country is like okay the
00:09:13.040border is a problem uh the border is right up there with the uh economy and the polls in terms
00:09:17.880of what people think is uh is most under fire most severe the biggest urgent problem and so
00:09:23.760biden may not take a stand for electing purposes but if he does this does have the seeds i'm not
00:09:30.040saying this is it but this has the seeds for uh your your classic texas succession that everybody's
00:09:36.440been talking or civil war those kinds of things so with all that being said we'll talk about it
00:09:40.360more. We'll talk about nature, natural affections. We'll talk about the civil and political aspects
00:09:45.320and the potential of civil war, all those kinds of things, or state succession. But first,
00:09:50.460let's read the letter. Michael, could you do the honors? All right. This is the letter that
00:09:55.180Governor Abbott posted in response to the Supreme Court decision. And to be fair, the Supreme Court
00:09:59.920decision was a temporary one. The whole case is being heard. This was specifically on cutting
00:10:05.460down the razor wire, right? So there's a whole lot more that's even going to be coming down the pike
00:10:10.340potentially. Here's the letter. The federal government has broken the compact between the
00:10:15.560United States and the states. The executive branch of the United States has a constitutional duty
00:10:20.920to enforce federal laws protecting states, including immigration laws on the books right now.
00:10:26.960President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he
00:10:33.400has smashed records for illegal immigration despite having been put on notice in a series
00:10:38.500of letters one of which i delivered to him by hand president biden has ignored texas's demand
00:10:44.840that he perform his constitutional duties president biden has violated his oath to
00:10:50.320faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by congress instead of prosecuting immigrants for
00:10:55.680the federal crime of illegal entry president biden has sent his lawyers into federal courts
00:11:01.080to sue texas for taking action to secure the border president biden has instructed his agencies
00:11:07.440to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants the effect is
00:11:13.460to illegally allow their en masse parole in the united states by wasting tax dollars taxpayer
00:11:21.060dollars to tear open texas's border security infrastructure president biden has enticed
00:11:25.840illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points along this this state's southern border
00:11:32.100bridges where nobody drowns and into the dangerous waters of the rio grande under president biden's
00:11:39.020lawless border policies more than six million illegal immigrants have crossed our southern
00:11:44.420border in just three years this is more than the population of 33 different states in this country
00:11:50.840This illegal refusal to protect the states has influenced unprecedented harm on the people all across the United States.
00:12:00.580James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and the other visionaries who wrote the U.S. Constitution foresaw that states should not be left to the mercy of a lawless president who does nothing to stop external threats like cartels smuggling millions of illegal immigrants across the border.
00:12:16.940That is why the framers included both Article 5, Section 4, which promises that the federal government, quote, shall protect each state against invasion, end quote, and Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3, which acknowledges, quote, the state's sovereign interest in protecting their borders.
00:12:35.180Arizona of the United States, you can see the ruling there.
00:12:38.540The failure of the Biden administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article 4, Section 4, has triggered Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this state the right of self-defense.
00:12:53.440For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas's constitutional authority to defend and protect itself.
00:13:04.140That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary.
00:13:11.380The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as the state law, to secure the Texas border.
00:13:24.840Yeah, that's the doctrine of the lesser magistrate, going through the right channels and using God's law, first and foremost, but also the Constitution and state constitution, federal constitution and standing up to treason.
00:13:39.000I mean, it's absolutely Joe Biden is a traitor of the United States and what he's been doing with the border.
00:13:46.900Six million illegal immigrants, greater than the population of 33 states.
00:13:51.580the reason this matters so much the reason you mentioned it's such a high issue there comes a
00:13:55.940point with immigration where you actually don't have a country anymore where literally the the
00:13:59.520fate has already it's been decided where there's a certain point where your own replacement level
00:14:04.040so americans that replacement fertility how many kids on average where when there's so many people
00:14:08.940that don't have allegiance to this country some of them even unregistered whatever it may be
00:14:12.920where literally you could reach the tipping point and then pretty much the story is written in the
00:14:17.180stars. There's no going back from it. There's no like, oh, we actually, we would like to walk back
00:14:21.900from this cliff we walked up to the edge of. You don't get that. We're talking about not just,
00:14:26.040I don't think, in 50 years or 70 years, we could reach the point where we don't have a nation
00:14:29.800anymore. In under five years, we could reach the point where it's lost. And that's not to say like,
00:14:35.160oh, these poor dispossessed people, they have a nation too, that they could have allegiance to,
00:14:39.920they could work to perfect, to work to build up, but they're coming into ours. And the result is
00:14:45.400none of us have a nation then they don't have a nation or allegiance ours is lost
00:14:49.200and everyone is worse for the wear right and uh and for the record in terms of asylum
00:14:54.620claims of seeking asylum if you're going through 14 other nations right on your way to seek asylum
00:15:00.640then you're not seeking asylum what you're seeking is uh you're seeking prosperity and there is a
00:15:05.420difference and that's fine i understand that everybody would like to be prosperous but if
00:15:09.360you'd like to be prosperous then you have to go through the proper channels you need to be
00:15:13.040um, a legal immigrant, not an illegal immigrant. Um, so if you're, if you're coming for, from a
00:15:18.120war torn nation and you're passing through, you know, seven other nations on the way that may not
00:15:22.960be the United States of America, they may not have the opportunity for prosperity that we do here,
00:15:27.300praise God by his grace. Um, but, but they're not, uh, at war, then, then, you know, you're going
00:15:33.100through peaceful, not prosperous, but peaceful nations on the way. Um, then you're not seeking
00:15:37.560asylum. What you're seeking is to invade a country and better magistrates and a better
00:15:45.620country wouldn't allow it. Unfortunately, we don't have a good country. You think of like
00:15:50.600Benjamin Franklin, what did you achieve? What did you give us? I gave you a republic if you can
00:15:55.940keep it. And we've proven that unfortunately we can't. And so in terms of what angle, what
00:16:02.520incentive uh joe biden and democrats for the most part have when it comes to uh immigrants um
00:16:08.780democrats cannot win an election apart from immigrants um and so democrats uh i'm just
00:16:14.980going to speak frankly here uh democrats win elections uh through uh immigrants um also uh
00:16:20.880women um voting and also uh you know if they could they would lower the age of voting uh making
00:16:26.540marijuana legal so you have guys you know who are high going into voting booths at every single
00:16:31.500They want a population that's mostly women voting and not men.
00:16:37.300The men who are voting, they want them to have low testosterone levels.
00:16:40.460They want them to be sickly and dying and high.
00:16:45.200And then they want illegal immigrants to be able to vote.
00:16:48.120And you might say, well, illegal immigrants in the country isn't the same as voting.
00:16:50.880Well, it effectively becomes the same when you have individual cities like New York City and other places saying that you don't have to provide any documentation.
00:16:58.640And then outright even saying we're going to let people who are not citizens vote in national elections.
00:17:08.460Basically, anybody who has a vested interest in the nation, a tax-paying national citizen, clear-thinking, somebody who loves America, they don't vote for Democrats.
00:23:23.300You brought them water when they were thirsty.
00:23:25.140you know all those kinds of things and then you know and and you know on the last day I'll separate
00:23:30.440you know the from the sheep on the right and the goats on the left and and I will say you did this
00:23:34.740for me and and they will say to me you will say to me when did we do this when did we see you
00:23:39.500Jesus naked and clothe you when did you then we see you hungry and feed you when did we see you
00:23:45.000thirsty and give you something to drink and Jesus says he says I tell you the truth whatever you've
00:23:51.320done for the least of these you've done for me now that's the myth buster right there i left out
00:23:56.200one important phrase um so people then they'll go so this is your libtard christians um in america
00:24:02.440libtard evangelicals the usual suspects your david french's your russell moore's your beth
00:24:06.560moore your you know any more will do uh they're basically there's very little difference from
00:24:10.600michael moore and beth moore and russell moore at this point so the but but what they'll do is
00:24:14.200they'll say uh oh whatever you do for the least of these well who are the least of these oh that
00:24:17.500The people in our society who are the least of these are those on the margins.
00:24:20.900And so it's people who are poor, or it's people of the LGBT community, or it's the illegal immigrant.
00:24:26.880I remember Stephen Colbert, this was years ago, but doing the same thing, quoting this passage as a professed Christian, a Catholic, and saying, you know, I look at the least of these, and then he cited, he said, I don't know anybody who's more the least of these than immigrants.
00:31:32.300they had to fight and they had to die and they had to to through strength muster up the will to be a
00:31:38.620people and if every country on their own the christians and non-christians like mustered up
00:31:43.200that strength and will for themselves we wouldn't have these problems you have to fight for mexico
00:31:47.820you have to fight for sicily these nations are not going away there's not new ones coming up
00:31:51.720the line has to be drawn and if you're a citizen you were born there have some love for your
00:31:56.080country fight for it each country fights for itself amen all right this is what i want to do
00:32:01.460Let's go to a commercial and then we'll say a couple more words that I think will be helpful and important for you guys to hear.

00:33:58.760today, the governor of Texas, has declared an invasion at the border of Texas. He has told
00:34:03.160the federal government that he will be securing the border, that agents that supposedly are
00:34:07.860allowed to come in and cut the wire and let unchecked illegal immigration in, that they're
00:34:12.340not allowed to. He's activated the Texas National Guard, declared an invasion, and it looks to be
00:34:16.440going to take a stand at the border, take a stand for his citizens, for those that he has a sovereign
00:34:21.900duty to protect. And so all that to say, God bless Governor Abbott. And it's funny, he's in a
00:34:27.500wheelchair, but he has stood up more than so many other leaders have. The guy in the wheelchair is
00:34:33.620standing much taller than the decrepit meatbag in the White House. So Michael, do you have a final
00:34:38.840thought? My final thought is simply this. We really are in a situation where the doctrine
00:34:43.660of the lesser magistrate applies, because we're not calling for vigilantes. We're not calling for
00:34:48.760some sort of just, I'm angry, I'm going to, you know, take out my anger publicly. There is now
00:34:54.220a magistrate of the state of Texas who is doing his godly duty, and it is not only good, but it's
00:34:59.940necessary for citizens of Texas, which we are in, to submit to that, to come under that umbrella.
00:35:07.080it. That is good and godly. That is within the order that God has designed and ordained. And so
00:35:13.020when Christians and evangelicals and non-Christians come out and say, this is, you know, anyone who's
00:35:18.920supporting Abbott, this is insurrection, and no, this is not. This is how God designed authority
00:35:26.000structures to work. And if you are in a state that is not in this situation right now, it's perfectly
00:35:33.060appropriate to call on your leaders to act in godly ways so that you can then come under their
00:35:38.560good and godly leadership as well. So let's go ahead and land the plane for this episode. For
00:35:43.580those of you who are watching, thanks for tuning in. We do this every single Wednesday at 4 p.m.
00:35:47.700And we're actually, this isn't even the live stream that we had prepared because this was
00:35:50.620news that dropped just a few hours ago today. So we pulled an audible and we went for it because
00:35:54.960we wanted to get it to you as urgently as possible, talk about something that's fresh,
00:35:58.440that's happening right now. So we're actually going to do two live streams. As soon as we
00:36:02.020close this video. We're going to start our live stream for today. Real quick, Wes, plug it. What
00:36:05.920are we talking about? We're talking about low-T pastors, low testosterone. We're talking about
00:36:09.760Alistair Begg and how this factors into... No relation. No relation. That's one topic and then
00:36:14.520a completely separate topic, Alistair Begg. On that topic and the rise of Donald Trump.
00:36:18.580The rise of Donald Trump. Yep. And we're going to be talking about Sean Strickland as a great
00:36:23.120godly example. I'm just kidding. He's not a great godly example, but we are going to talk about the
00:36:27.200phenomenon of guys like him um who are saying no no no no i'm just not going to play your game i'm
00:36:32.200not going to play the woke game i'm not going to uh pander to all the you know the leftists with
00:36:35.960their you know cry bully tactics right used to a bully on the playground was was big you actually
00:36:40.420had strength now it's whoever can cry the best i remember my dad teaching me that when i was a young
00:36:45.000teenager i remember i made a girl cry and in this particular instance it was not my habit to go
00:36:49.760around making girls cry but in this particular instance it was something that happened in the
00:36:52.720youth group she was absolutely in the wrong and all i did i didn't touch her god forbid i would
00:36:56.460never doing anything like that, but with words and carefully spoken, as careful as a young teenager
00:37:02.340could, teenage boy. But I said, this is wrong. You can't do that. What you're doing is da-dot,
00:37:08.220da-dot, da-dot, da-dot. That's what you're actually saying. That's what your actions are
00:37:11.260portraying. And that's wrong. And she cried and went and told some of the adults in the church.
00:37:15.320And the adults sat me down, the school marms, and started to try to longhouse me. And my dad,
00:37:20.060who was the pastor of the church, he stepped in and stopped them. And then he talked and said,
00:37:24.560no no no my son's right um and and he didn't just get my back because i'm his son there's plenty of
00:37:28.320times that he was like my son's wrong um but you know he got my back and he shut down the school
00:37:33.060marms in the long house and then he told me privately i remember he said uh joel a lesson
00:37:37.240that you need to learn uh we live in a world that hates men and this was like this was you know
00:37:40.800over 20 years ago he said um and a woman crying is uh is uh it's like a nuclear bomb you cannot
00:37:47.680stop it um if uh if she cries she wins um he said i know that's wrong i know that's unjust but you
00:37:53.720need to be aware of that right now you're a teenage boy you'll you'll get through it uh but
00:37:57.640when you're a grown man if you if you make women cry um you will have tens of thousands of enemies
00:38:02.880and uh and that's what i've devoted my life to it's not my cause but as i but as i preach against
00:38:08.960feminism and these kinds of things um i have made um you know i i actually you know um actually you
00:38:15.320know instead of tens of thousands i've made hundreds of thousands of women cry um and um
00:38:19.480um and i you know i'm not trying to it's not my goal but my dad was right it is powerful because
00:38:25.800because the white knights immediately come to their age so all that being said sean strickland
00:38:29.880you know he's he's a ufc or what is it ufc fighter and you know he's doing the speech and
00:38:34.800a lib libtard journalist you know is like well what do you think about you know minorities and
00:38:40.000women and and transgender and he's like shut up and he uses you know lots of cursing so i don't
00:38:45.120endorse the language but he uses lots of but then the big thing is like later in a press conference
00:38:49.180he talks to he's given a speech and and the crowd is out there in front of him and he says i'm not
00:38:54.580doing this for me i do it for you you're beaten down and and what shocked me is you just hear this
00:38:59.800roar of of this this manly massive and they're like yeah and i just thought this isn't just a
00:39:05.880bunch of guys who i'm sure some of these guys are degenerates um but it's not just degeneracy like
00:39:11.280yeah fighter who's going to be it no no no it's guys who have been told uh for decades that they're
00:39:16.960the scum of the earth, that they're hated, that this country is not for them, that the church is
00:39:20.320not for them, that Jesus is not for them, that nothing is for them, that they're the problem and
00:39:24.860the source of the problem of everything, and a guy stands up for them. That's all it takes,
00:39:28.760just a guy. So whether it's standing up at our border and saying, I care about your children,
