Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Texas is Fed Up with Biden's Border Invasion, Interview with Texas AG Ken Paxton | TRIGGERED Ep.108

00:00:00.000 you you

00:05:46.000 you guys welcome to another huge episode of triggered

00:06:14.000 Tonight, we're going to be talking with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

00:06:18.000 Attorney General Paxton has been on the front lines of the fight against the Biden administration.

00:06:24.000 One of the few attorney generals in the country to do so.

00:06:28.000 He's been fighting the invasion of our country.

00:06:31.000 He's been fighting big tech.

00:06:33.000 He's taking on the battles that I wish more attorney generals would be taking on

00:06:39.000 because right now we're getting steamrolled by the radical left.

00:06:42.000 It's setting the stage for a massive legal showdown.

00:06:47.000 And Texas is proven, they've proven that they're committed to exercising their right

00:06:53.000 to protect their citizens from this growing safety threat, from the humanitarian crisis that is invading their borders

00:07:04.000 and ours.

00:07:05.000 You're not going to want to miss this one.

00:08:43.000 And we need you to do that with us because we're all in this one together.

00:08:48.000 So before we get to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, his fight with the rhinos down in Texas and the Texas house and some of that insanity, but again, his fight with big tech.

00:08:58.000 His fight with the Biden administration.

00:09:00.000 This is a guy who's actually a fighter.

00:09:02.000 So you're going to want to hear this.

00:09:04.000 But before we get there, we got to do a rundown of some of the top headlines because...

00:09:09.000 Man, there's a lot going on these days.

00:09:11.000 It's just getting insane, and I imagine the next year, there's going to be a lot more insanity, okay?

00:09:16.000 So, we begin with some breaking news today, where shockingly, I'm totally shocked to hear this, folks.

00:09:24.000 Special Counselor Robert Herr is recommending no charges in the Biden classified documents case.

00:09:31.000 I am shocked to hear this, because I know they want to put Trump in jail for years for...

00:09:37.000 Something very similar. Actually, much more responsible because they were unlocking key, not just left in the Penn Biden Center where they paid him a million dollars at my alma mater to never do anything that had access of the Chinese and all this stuff. 0.93

00:09:51.000 But I am shocked.

00:09:54.000 That our Justice Department, the powers that be, would look at Biden entirely different than Donald Trump.

00:10:01.000 There's clearly no precedent for that.

00:10:03.000 I understand that I am not the upstanding American citizen that Hunter Biden is, but I had to do...

00:10:11.000 Countless hours of testimony for treason to crime punishable by death, while Hunter has thus far done absolutely nothing.

00:10:18.000 So I am shocked to hear that we don't have equal justice in our law.

00:10:23.000 And again, that's despite the fact that Herr acknowledged that Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials as a private citizen after he was vice president.

00:10:37.000 And don't forget... Biden had documents in his garage, at the Penn Center, by his Corvette, in his private office.

00:10:46.000 Who knows where else he had them?

00:10:48.000 The other minor difference is that Joe Biden took those classified documents as vice president, where he did not.

00:10:56.000 I repeat, he did not.

00:10:59.000 Have the power to declassify them, unlike your favorite president and my father, Donald J. Trump.

00:11:08.000 There's a difference, but that doesn't matter in today's justice system.

00:11:13.000 And guys, if the overall hypocrisy of this insanity wasn't enough, it gets even worse. 0.87

00:11:21.000 The special counsel actually called Biden an elderly man with poor memory. 0.93

00:11:28.000 To justify his decision to not charge.

00:11:31.000 Seriously? Okay, an elderly man with poor memory? 0.99

00:11:35.000 Yeah, no crap. 0.97

00:11:37.000 The problem is when he did this was a long time ago. 0.98

00:11:41.000 This was prior to even the Trump administration.

00:11:44.000 This is almost eight years ago.

00:11:46.000 So if he was an elderly man with a poor memory then, imagine...

00:11:51.000 Just how bad it is today.

00:11:53.000 This is the President of the United States.

00:11:56.000 This is supposed to be the leader of the free world.

00:11:59.000 This is the man who we're supposed to call at 3 o'clock in the morning when the unimaginable could be happening.

00:12:05.000 But to his own people, well, he's just an elderly man with poor memory.

00:12:11.000 You can't make this stuff up anymore. 0.96

00:12:13.000 This is insane.

00:12:16.000 An elderly man with poor memory is the leader of the free world according to his own people, and that's their justification for not holding him accountable. 0.82

00:12:25.000 If he gets us into a nuclear war, well, sorry guys, he's just an elderly man with a poor memory.

00:12:32.000 If more American service members die because he gives Iran a few more billions, you know, the world's leading state sponsor of terror, well, it's just, it's different. 0.66

00:12:44.000 Is this what they're going to utilize?

00:12:45.000 Is this the precedent?

00:12:47.000 They're setting it up because you can see what's going on to justify when they eventually let him go for the financial crimes that him and Hunter have been perpetrating on the American people for decades.

00:12:58.000 Ah, he's just an elderly man with poor memory.

00:13:00.000 He doesn't know anything. I mean, yeah, sure, he led the free world for a few years, but he didn't know what was going on.

00:13:06.000 Come on! Now, if you actually watch Biden, there may be some truth to this.

00:13:10.000 I don't want to be used eventually, and I'm sure I will.

00:13:14.000 As the evidence that it's true, but the Democrats let this guy be president.

00:13:19.000 Everyone knew this was the case, and it didn't matter because, you know what, he wasn't as dislikable as Hillary Clinton.

00:13:25.000 Now, it's blue-collar Joe.

00:13:26.000 He's never actually been blue-collar Joe, but he sold that bill of goods to the American people for far too long.

00:13:32.000 So whatever he does, every bad decision, if he gets us into World War III, no, it's different.

00:13:37.000 I mean, the Democrats shouldn't be responsible.

00:13:40.000 Despite the fact that we know he's not the guy actually making these decisions, other Democrats are.

00:13:45.000 No, he was just an old guy with a bad memory. 0.62

00:13:47.000 Let's put Trump in jail for 700 years because he's not.

00:13:53.000 This is what we're up against, folks.

00:13:55.000 You can't make it up anymore.

00:13:57.000 This is insanity.

00:14:00.000 This is the way they justify everything.

00:14:02.000 If you're not awake yet, you better wake up soon.

00:14:06.000 Because this is coming, and they will be going after you and your family and your beliefs and your neighborhoods and everything else with insanity.

00:14:18.000 They're doing it each and every day, and you can no longer hide from it.

00:14:23.000 It's in your face, it's flagrant, and they couldn't give a damn.

00:14:28.000 Just so we understand, just so we are clear here, the Biden DOJ wants to put my father in jail for years and years.

00:14:39.000 Over a document hoax.

00:14:41.000 But Biden, Joe Biden, gets a pass for actually violating a law.

00:14:47.000 Okay? Because we don't have equal justice under a law. 0.98

00:14:53.000 Because our government institutions, whether they be legal, whether they be police, whether it's federal, whatever it may be, they will do whatever they can to protect Democrats.

00:15:06.000 The... The term double standard doesn't even begin to explain how flagrant and how blatantly corrupt our justice system is.

00:15:19.000 And it's just one of the many reasons common sense Americans are now rallying for my father.

00:15:26.000 You're seeing that play out in his primary domination and general election polling, okay?

00:15:33.000 You can't hide from it anymore.

00:15:35.000 People who didn't care about politics, who just want to live their life or what's left of it or their American dream, what hasn't been exported to China, are struggling.

00:15:45.000 They didn't have the time to follow politics, but now they don't have a choice.

00:15:50.000 Their entire existence depends on them paying attention.

00:15:55.000 Their family's future, their children's and grandchildren's well-being depends on them actually paying attention, getting involved.

00:16:05.000 Because right now, We're good to go.

00:16:30.000 Nikki Haley ran in the Nevada primary two days ago. 0.94

00:16:35.000 The primary was pointless, guys.

00:16:37.000 There are no delegates that get awarded with it.

00:16:40.000 Nikki Haley ran unopposed and still lost.

00:16:45.000 She didn't want to go against my father in the caucus or couldn't qualify to be on there.

00:16:51.000 So she ran in a primary.

00:16:53.000 The liberal legislature, as my understanding, in Nevada didn't like a caucus format because they could more easily manipulate a primary. 0.73

00:17:02.000 So they had both run simultaneously.

00:17:05.000 One was meaningless, didn't award any delegates, which you needed to get Nevada's points, let's call it, in Nevada.

00:17:14.000 The Republican National Convention later on.

00:17:16.000 I believe it's going to be early July.

00:17:18.000 You get those points.

00:17:20.000 So the media was hoping that they could create this story of Nikki Haley dominates a primary.

00:17:26.000 Again, we couldn't even legally be on it.

00:17:28.000 And if she was, she still got no points.

00:17:30.000 So even with a resounding win, it would be meaningless.

00:17:34.000 Other than... She was going to play the story.

00:17:38.000 The press was going to have a field day, preying on people who don't know the details.

00:17:44.000 Preying on those who didn't understand or wouldn't understand what I just told you all.

00:17:50.000 I didn't know this prior to looking into it over the last few weeks and months.

00:17:54.000 So it's not common knowledge, but they would have done something like, Nikki Haley wins!

00:17:59.000 She is overperforming!

00:18:01.000 Look at what she's doing to Trump! 1.00

00:18:02.000 We can't believe it!

00:18:04.000 Don't call it a comeback!

00:18:06.000 You can imagine the headlines.

00:18:08.000 But... I mean, it's sort of amazing.

00:18:15.000 Nikki Haley literally lost to, and I quote, none of the above.

00:18:20.000 I literally, I can't even imagine something more embarrassing than that.

00:18:26.000 She didn't just lose either, guys.

00:18:28.000 She got clobbered.

00:18:30.000 Nikki Haley lost to none of the above.

00:18:34.000 By 33 points, 25,000 more people voted for none of the above than voted for Nikki Haley.

00:18:42.000 That's how much conservatives hate her. 1.00

00:18:46.000 Check her out. 0.99

00:18:47.000 This is amazing. Haley, without Trump's name even on the ballot, still loses to the none option by better than two to one.

00:18:55.000 So that is a tough reality for her.

00:18:58.000 Trump isn't even on the ballot, and she loses.

00:19:01.000 And it's a closed primary, so it really reinforces what we've been seeing, that when you're just talking about Republican voters, she's really getting clobbered with Republican voters.

00:19:12.000 Nikki Haley lost to none of the above in a blowout.

00:19:17.000 Conservatives showed up to vote in a primary that they knew in many cases was totally meaningless just to vote against Nikki Haley.

00:19:26.000 Okay, this is sort of the opposite of what you saw in New Hampshire where people changed their designation just to vote against Trump and make it seem like she overperformed and she still got clobbered there. 0.99

00:19:37.000 Imagine how stupid you must feel if you're Nikki Haley right now. 0.97

00:19:40.000 She thought the press was going to give her all these accolades. 1.00

00:19:43.000 Instead, they have no choice but to either not cover it at all, which is their usual MO, or to say that she lost to none of the above. 0.97

00:19:52.000 Imagine the billionaire schmucks that have been funding her campaign thinking that something was going to magically happen. 1.00

00:19:59.000 They give her hundreds of millions of dollars to run opposed to Trump, and their stalking horse loses to none of the above. 0.97

00:20:08.000 Conservatives rejected Nikki Haley for the same reason they rejected James Lankford's open borders for America and secure funding for Ukraine and their borders deal.

00:20:20.000 Republican voters want politicians who will actually put America first.

00:20:25.000 People want representation in Congress.

00:20:29.000 If you represent the people and then go do the bidding of the swamp, you will be called out.

00:20:36.000 Nikki Haley doesn't put America first.

00:20:39.000 She supports amnesty and open border walls.

00:20:43.000 The Lankford-Schumer nonsense deal, it's a failure.

00:20:48.000 It's a big win for MAGA. We stopped something that Mitch was going to push through regardless.

00:20:54.000 But Senate GOP leadership tried to ram a Ukraine-first bailout bill, and we made our voices heard.

00:21:03.000 It died a painful death. 0.88

00:21:06.000 The border bill was ridiculous. 0.99

00:21:08.000 The bill was unnecessary. 0.95

00:21:10.000 It says you need new legislation to secure the border.

00:21:14.000 That's like claiming you need a new law outlawing murder to stop Chicago shootings on a daily basis.

00:21:22.000 That's nonsense. Joe Biden could shut down the borders in two seconds.

00:21:27.000 He could just implement the policies that Donald Trump put into place that gave us the most secure border ever.

00:21:33.000 That's not what they're interested in doing.

00:21:36.000 Although this bill looked like it was part of another swampy scheme to get more funding Ukraine, because of course it was. 0.75

00:21:43.000 That's all it was.

00:21:44.000 There are new reports out there now that Mitch McConnell is going to give Schumer the votes he needs to pass Ukraine funding without the border deal.

00:21:55.000 Of course that was always the plan.

00:21:57.000 Let's make it seem like a border deal.

00:21:58.000 We're going to allow five times more people than even Obama's homeland guy wanted to let in.

00:22:05.000 Even the number that he said would be considered an invasion, we're going to go five times that.

00:22:10.000 This was never a Republican bill.

00:22:12.000 It was a scheme to defraud you, to lie to you.

00:22:15.000 Remember, guys, if you see a bill with a name that sounds glowing on it, it usually does the opposite of that bill, okay?

00:22:24.000 Like the inflation reduction bill.

00:22:26.000 They didn't do anything for inflation.

00:22:27.000 It just increased spending for Americans.

00:22:31.000 Your money being wasted with Which will make inflation significantly worse in the future.

00:22:37.000 This is how the swamp works.

00:22:38.000 And it's time for a leadership change in the United States Senate.

00:22:43.000 I'm seeing senators finally stand up to the nonsense of Mitch McConnell.

00:22:48.000 Because at this point, it's clear he's working for the other side.

00:22:51.000 Mitch the glitch is failing.

00:22:53.000 There's no other point in time in history where even a rhino like Mitch McConnell... 0.93

00:22:58.000 Would put up numbers, put forward a border bill or a part of a bigger bill and get steamrolled this badly by Democrats.

00:23:06.000 He is clearly lacking. 0.99

00:23:08.000 He is failing his constituency and more importantly he's failing the rest of the Republicans in the Senate who now look like a bunch of morons for allowing it to get this far. 0.99

00:23:20.000 And of course the border is open because Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas don't want to deport illegal immigrants. 0.98

00:23:29.000 Illegals come here and Biden releases them into the country as opposed to remain in Mexico or other policies that worked. 0.99

00:23:37.000 Look at the screen right now.

00:23:39.000 This guy is named Brian Gonzalez-Payes.

00:23:42.000 He's a 22-year-old illegal immigrant that Biden let into the country in May of last year.

00:23:50.000 Yesterday, he was arrested for vehicular homicide.

00:23:53.000 He killed a mom and their three-year-old daughter.

00:23:58.000 Thousands of illegals like this are being released into our country every single day by Biden and Mayorkas.

00:24:05.000 They're not vetting people.

00:24:06.000 They're not bringing in the best.

00:24:08.000 They're not bringing in people who will create jobs or add value.

00:24:11.000 They're bringing anyone in who could be independent.

00:24:15.000 A dependent that will ultimately then vote for Democrats and give them a one party majority in perpetuity.

00:24:23.000 That is their plan.

00:24:25.000 A Palestinian illegal immigrant was just arrested this week for beating up a guy that had an Israeli flag on his front porch in Long Island.

00:24:34.000 These illegals are coming to your neighborhood. 1.00

00:24:37.000 They're spreading out all over the place.

00:24:40.000 It's not just happening in Texas or other border towns.

00:24:44.000 It's coming to a city and to a suburb near you.

00:24:49.000 It's only a matter of time till someone you know and love is affected by this.

00:24:54.000 But again, the Democrats that could control this in one second are only pretending to try to blame it on Republicans, knowing that the media and big tech will do their bidding and make it seem like that's the case.

00:25:04.000 After four years of failed policies of Joe Biden, I don't think anyone could, with an IQ of above about three, actually believe that.

00:25:12.000 But look at this map.

00:25:14.000 This is the cell phone tracking data of illegal immigrants under Joe Biden.

00:25:23.000 I don't know, guys. You and I see an invasion.

00:25:28.000 Biden and the Democrats see a bunch of new voters.

00:25:31.000 Voters that will spend your money on themselves very freely and who will likely never contribute into the system ever.

00:25:40.000 This is by design.

00:25:42.000 This is a plan.

00:25:44.000 Do you have the right to vote?

00:25:45.000 If we're illegal, at least we have access to vote.

00:25:48.000 For who will vote? Don Biden, who is helping us here.

00:25:52.000 I think the majority is Biden.

00:25:54.000 He is the one who is helping Biden.

00:25:56.000 Of course, by Biden.

00:25:59.000 He likes to support the migrants. 0.99

00:26:01.000 He is very good. Trump is another thing.

00:26:05.000 This is another thing and this is another thing.

00:26:07.000 So what planet are Republicans, I use that word very loosely, Tom McClintock, Ken Buck, famous Never Trumper, and Mike Gallagher on?

00:26:17.000 Those three rhinos this week voted against impeaching Mayorkas. 1.00

00:26:23.000 Gallagher himself claimed the reason he didn't think we should impeach Mayorkas is because it might inspire Democrats to abuse power.

00:26:32.000 What? Are you serious?

00:26:35.000 Does this clown not realize that Democrats already abuse power? 0.99

00:26:42.000 They're doing it each and every day. 1.00

00:26:44.000 They're steamrolling morons like him who literally think that this is somehow not a rigged game. 1.00

00:26:51.000 Who think we're playing by the same rules. 1.00

00:26:54.000 They launched two sham impeachments against my father and are now trying to remove him from the ballot.

00:27:02.000 All the Democrats do is abuse power. 1.00

00:27:05.000 But Gallagher and crew are so stupid that they're aiding and abetting an invasion of this country. 1.00

00:27:12.000 It could all stop like that. 1.00

00:27:14.000 They're allowing it to be blamed on Republicans.

00:27:17.000 Again, I don't think anyone with more than double-digit IQ or more than single-digit IQ, frankly, could ever actually believe that.

00:27:24.000 But... Don't forget, that's never stopped the mainstream media.

00:27:29.000 That's never stopped big tech.

00:27:31.000 And there are people that are still not paying 100% attention that may be swayed by the lunacy of all of this.

00:27:39.000 Democrats aren't even trying to hide that this is really about amnesty.

00:27:44.000 Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, he's a United States Senator from Connecticut, even says...

00:27:52.000 The quiet part out loud, folks.

00:27:54.000 He says, the undocumented, the undocumented, in quotes, are who Democrats care about most.

00:28:04.000 Watch for yourself.

00:28:06.000 The negotiation didn't have a path to citizenship.

00:28:09.000 It was entirely on their terms in order to get Ukraine funding, right?

00:28:18.000 Well, I mean, Chris, that's been a failed play for 20 years.

00:28:21.000 So you are right that that has been the democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe.

00:28:26.000 And it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country.

00:28:34.000 Really? The undocumented is who they care about most? 1.00

00:28:37.000 Non-citizens?

00:28:39.000 Non-taxpayers?

00:28:41.000 Non-voters? Yet.

00:28:43.000 Although I'm sure they'll figure out a way to let them vote by November.

00:28:47.000 Those are the ones the Democrats care about most.

00:28:50.000 They're not even pretending that you're not a second class citizen in your own country these days, folks.

00:28:56.000 They're saying it out loud.

00:28:58.000 Step aside.

00:29:00.000 We got millions of new potential voters that are more important than you.

00:29:04.000 And I'm not just saying more important than Republicans.

00:29:07.000 More important than even their Democrat base because they understand they're losing those people.

00:29:12.000 And independence because these policies are failing and they can't hide from that anymore.

00:29:18.000 Biden could stop all of this.

00:29:21.000 Like that. Instead of doing that, though, they're extorting House Republicans on behalf of Ukraine.

00:29:30.000 Remember, folks, the Ukraine was ranked as one of the most corrupt nations anywhere in the world prior to Zelensky being dubbed a deity by the radical left.

00:29:40.000 That is still the case.

00:29:42.000 It didn't just go away.

00:29:44.000 The White House is now saying that if Congress, though, doesn't pass Lankford's amnesty bill...

00:29:51.000 Well, guys, then ICE is just gonna have to reduce deportations and detention.

00:29:57.000 Not that there was a reason they had to do it, but they're just gonna make them do it.

00:30:01.000 They're extorting you in your own country for the benefit of Ukraine, so that we can send billions more of your taxpayer dollars to enrich the oligarch class over there.

00:30:13.000 And... They're buddies at Big War and the military-industrial complex, who I'm sure are offering these same people some sort of board seat that will be their retirement plan while mortgaging our children's futures to the hilt.

00:30:26.000 That extortion, it's plain and simple, folks.

00:30:30.000 That is extortion.

00:30:32.000 Biden is saying, do what I and Zelensky want or we will release more criminals into your country. 1.00

00:30:40.000 Pay up or you're going to get hurt.

00:30:42.000 Pay up. Or your resources are going to be depleted by others who are never paying into the system.

00:30:49.000 Fortunately, folks, normal people are waking up.

00:30:52.000 They have eyes.

00:30:53.000 They have brains. 0.78

00:30:55.000 You can't hide from the insanity. 0.87

00:30:57.000 They look around and they see crumbling bridges.

00:31:00.000 They see homeless tents all over the place.

00:31:03.000 While seeing headlines about billions upon billions dollars being sent to Ukraine and illegal immigrants.

00:31:12.000 Even Stephen A. Smith, you know, ESPN, like I remember ESPN when they used to do sports.

00:31:17.000 Now it's political.

00:31:19.000 But even Stephen Smith, who I believe it was last week, said he wanted to debate Trump on all these things, you know, whatever it is for clicks or sound, who the hell knows.

00:31:27.000 But Listen to him.

00:31:29.000 Once he even woke up to seeing some of what's going on, a radical leftist, someone who's been fighting with friend of the show Jason Whitlock for the past two weeks, a radical leftist, someone who's been very political for the other side.

00:31:44.000 Even he now has something to say about it because even he can't hide from the realities of this Democrat administration's policies.

00:31:53.000 This clip is a little long, guys, but it's worth your time.

00:31:57.000 Check it out. What it came down to for me is this.

00:32:01.000 I see homeless folks in the streets of New York all the time that are American citizens.

00:32:07.000 I damn sure see them in California.

00:32:10.000 We've got poor, impoverished, starving people who were born and raised in this nation. 0.94

00:32:15.000 How in the hell do we come up with a $53 million pilot program for illegals, but folks who are here legally are born here, we don't have enough for them. 1.00

00:32:28.000 Just like we could come up with billions for Ukraine.

00:32:32.000 But somehow, someway, we can't fix the homeland problem.

00:32:35.000 I'm down for helping Israel.

00:32:37.000 I'm down for helping address the situations with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, okay?

00:32:42.000 I'm down for helping the Ukrainians and fighting off Russia.

00:32:46.000 What about poor and desolate citizens here?

00:32:49.000 How the hell do you print money for foreign countries, but you don't print that money to help eradicate Folks that are starving right here in the streets of America who were born and raised here.

00:33:07.000 This is what I'm talking about.

00:33:10.000 And so when you have something like that, what's the one way to eradicate it?

00:33:14.000 Yes, you got to have a flourishing economy.

00:33:17.000 Yes, you can't have inflation.

00:33:19.000 Yes, you can't be on the verge of a recession.

00:33:21.000 Milk don't need to cost $7.

00:33:23.000 Bread don't need to cost $5.

00:33:25.000 Don't get me started with how much sugar costs.

00:33:28.000 You can talk about employment all you want to.

00:33:30.000 You can talk about the labor participation rate.

00:33:32.000 But guess what? If you ain't making no damn money and you got to get two jobs to pay the same prices or to buy the same amount of stuff that you used to buy and the price is higher than it used to be because of inflation, then guess what?

00:33:47.000 What are you really accomplishing?

00:33:51.000 That's why Trump is on the verge of getting elected.

00:33:54.000 Re-elected. Because when he was in office there was a flourishing economy.

00:34:00.000 That's the whole story, folks.

00:34:03.000 That's why today the Supreme Court is hearing arguments about Colorado kicking my father off the ballot.

00:34:13.000 Democrats need bizarre, like literally insane legal theories.

00:34:18.000 It reminds me of that meme, you know, the crazed guy with the arrows and the lines and all that stuff.

00:34:22.000 I think it was like from, you know, terrible bosses or whatever the movie was.

00:34:26.000 Like, it's lunacy.

00:34:29.000 But Democrats need those bizarre legal theories to save them. 0.99

00:34:33.000 They know they can't win for real at the ballot box.

00:34:36.000 They know they couldn't have done it in 2020.

00:34:39.000 No one actually believes Joe Biden got 81 billion votes. 1.00

00:34:41.000 Joe Biden's an imbecile, to be clear. 1.00

00:34:44.000 And it's only gotten significantly worse. 1.00

00:34:47.000 But they need to come up with anything else.

00:34:50.000 They need to go places where no one has ever been before.

00:34:55.000 In legal theory, in political persecutions, in manipulating.

00:35:00.000 And don't worry, they'll play their games at the ballot box too.

00:35:03.000 Because... If this election is up to voters, folks, Joe Biden loses and he loses badly.

00:35:11.000 So they're going to do whatever they can.

00:35:14.000 And the Supreme Court justices today seemed, let's just say, rather skeptical of Colorado's deranged argument.

00:35:24.000 Here's Justice Neil Gorsuch putting a major hole in the key arguments from the Colorado, I'll say lawyer, but the guy seems like he's a, this is like a kid at T-Ball going up against Mariano Rivera, right?

00:35:37.000 Like, it's a little bit ridiculous, but this is what they're going to try to do.

00:35:41.000 They've been trying this lawfare in Georgia and New York a few places and in DC and with special

00:35:47.000 Prosecutors and you saw Joe Biden got released today as we spoke about a few minutes ago while they're still pursuing

00:35:53.000 Trump or the documents two cases even though again

00:35:56.000 I think the the arguments for Trump are about a hundred X better and he had the ability to declassify these things

00:36:02.000 It doesn't matter Okay, here's justice Gorsuch talking to Colorado's lawyer

00:36:09.000 surrounding the language of the 14th Amendment.

00:36:12.000 Watch for yourself. You're not contesting this or asking us to revisit that decision in Thornton or term limits or whatever you want to call it, that it has to come from some federal constitutional authority?

00:36:25.000 No, we are not, Your Honor. Okay.

00:36:26.000 And here, we're not talking about the qualifications clause, right?

00:36:31.000 Nobody's talking about whether he's 35 years old or natural born, whatever, right?

00:36:37.000 Not an issue, okay?

00:36:38.000 We're talking about something under the 14th Amendment in Section 3, so that's where you have to find your authority, right?

00:36:46.000 We find our authority in Article 2, in states' plenary power to run their elections.

00:36:50.000 Federal election, but this is for a federal office.

00:36:53.000 It has to come from the Constitution, and you're seeking to enforce Section 3.

00:36:58.000 We're suggesting that in their broad power to determine them, to select presidential electors in any manner they see fit, they can take account of Section 3 and apply Section 3.

00:37:08.000 Could they do it without Section 3?

00:37:10.000 Could they disqualify somebody on whatever basis they wanted outside of the qualifications clause?

00:37:18.000 That would run into term limits.

00:37:19.000 Yeah, I would think so, right?

00:37:21.000 So it has to come back to Section 3.

00:37:24.000 And if that's true, how does that work, given that Section 3 speaks about holding office, not who may run for office?

00:37:32.000 It was a point Mr. Mitchell was making earlier, and I just wanted to give you a chance to respond to it, because it seems to me that...

00:37:37.000 That you're asking to enforce in an election context a provision of the Constitution that speaks to holding office.

00:37:47.000 So it's different than the Qualifications Clause, which is all about who can run and then serve.

00:37:53.000 I don't know that it is different.

00:37:54.000 Other qualifications for office similarly talk about eligibility for the office.

00:37:59.000 There's nothing unconstitutional about a 30-year-old trying to get on the ballot.

00:38:03.000 Except for this disability can be removed, right, under Section 3.

00:38:06.000 That's what's different about it.

00:38:09.000 Honestly, guys, it ain't just Gorsuch.

00:38:12.000 It ain't just Alito and the conservative Supreme Court justices.

00:38:17.000 Even liberal justice Eleanor Kagan appeared to be deeply skeptical about removing a candidate from the ballot.

00:38:26.000 Look for yourself. Why should a single state have the ability to make this determination, not only for their own citizens, but for the rest of the nation?

00:38:36.000 But that's not all, guys.

00:38:38.000 Here's Chief Justice John Roberts.

00:38:40.000 Now, he's appointed by a conservative, but this has been someone who's given the Democrats what they want, probably a disproportional share of the time.

00:38:50.000 Here's him stating the obvious.

00:38:52.000 That if Colorado succeeds in this endeavor, then this will be attempted in every state, including Republican states.

00:38:59.000 Although I don't necessarily believe that because the Republicans don't fight the way the Democrats do.

00:39:03.000 The Democrats know that and will manipulate things accordingly.

00:39:06.000 But it will be chaos if we ever woke up.

00:39:10.000 It will be a total disaster.

00:39:12.000 Here's Justice Roberts. What do you do with what would seem to me to be plain consequences of your position?

00:39:20.000 If Colorado's position is upheld, surely there will be disqualification proceedings on the other side, and some of those will succeed.

00:39:30.000 In very quick order, I would expect, although my predictions have never been correct, I would expect that A goodly number of states will say, whoever the Democratic candidate is, you're off the ballot.

00:39:45.000 And others, for the Republican candidate, you're off the ballot.

00:39:49.000 And it'll come down to just a handful of states that are going to decide the presidential election. 0.96

00:39:53.000 That's a pretty daunting consequence.

00:39:57.000 And later, guys, Justice Alito asked a simple question.

00:40:02.000 Quote, suppose a president funds a country that proclaims the U.S. is its greatest enemy.

00:40:10.000 Would that be aid and comfort to the enemy under Section 3?

00:40:15.000 Close quote. Now, Alito's obviously referencing Joe Biden giving $6 billion to Iran.

00:40:22.000 We pretend, or at least the Democrats pretend, that that money isn't fungible, that it wasn't used to fund proxy attacks that killed Americans last month.

00:40:31.000 We know that it did. They said, no, no, no, that money was for aid.

00:40:33.000 Oh yeah, but we didn't magically free up six billion that they needed to perhaps put towards aid to allow them to run their proxy war against the United States.

00:40:43.000 So under the logic of Colorado, we should be able to go after Biden, put him in jail for aiding and betting the murder of American soldiers abroad.

00:40:54.000 This did not go well for Democrats today.

00:40:57.000 Now, that doesn't matter because they don't play by the same rules, but...

00:41:02.000 Nevertheless, this seems like it could be a major loss, and their election-rigging effort is failing badly.

00:41:10.000 How badly? Well, even Andrew Weissman, remember the former Mueller prosecutor, the henchman who had, let's just say, a less-than-stellar ethics record prior to getting involved, but that's exactly why he was chosen to help with the Mueller-Sham-Russia-Russia prosecution, says that the Supreme Court is going to rule against Colorado.

00:41:31.000 Watch him in his own words.

00:41:33.000 ...in this process and that ambiguity would favor keeping the candidate, Donald Trump, on the ballot.

00:41:40.000 I agree with you.

00:41:41.000 My takeaway from this is you're counting the votes.

00:41:45.000 Remember, Justice O'Connor famously said when she was asked what's it like to be on the Supreme Court?

00:41:50.000 It's about counting to five.

00:41:51.000 Here, there is clearly, I think, five votes, if not nine votes, that are going to reverse this.

00:41:59.000 Guys, beyond all of that, Americans don't want to vote for a cognitive train wreck like Joe Biden.

00:42:06.000 This past weekend in Nevada, Joe Biden gave a speech where he said he recently spoke with former French President Mitterand.

00:42:17.000 Minor details, folks.

00:42:19.000 Mitterrand died in 1996.

00:42:22.000 A little more than 25 years ago.

00:42:26.000 A quarter of a century ago, this man died.

00:42:30.000 But Joe Biden spoke to him recently, apparently.

00:42:34.000 Watch this one for yourself.

00:42:36.000 People have pled guilty.

00:42:38.000 You know, right after I was elected, I went to what they call a G7 meeting, all the NATO leaders.

00:42:45.000 It was in the south of England.

00:42:48.000 And I sat down and I said, America's back.

00:42:52.000 And Neteran from Germany, I mean, from France looked at me and said, you know, how long are you back for?

00:43:07.000 Guys, that wasn't a one-off.

00:43:09.000 Just last night, Joe Biden told two different groups of people that he met with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl in 2021.

00:43:19.000 The only problem is that Kohl also died in 2017.

00:43:24.000 You see a trend here?

00:43:26.000 Joe Biden is talking to dead people.

00:43:29.000 What's next for Biden?

00:43:31.000 Is he going to be telling us how he sat down with Fidel Castro to bang out a deal with

00:43:35.000 Cuba?

00:43:36.000 The guy is losing it.

00:43:37.000 He doesn't want to do press conferences.

00:43:40.000 He doesn't want to do interviews.

00:43:42.000 But like I said, you wouldn't even trust Biden to drive an Uber.

00:43:46.000 That's how bad this is.

00:43:48.000 He's talking to dead people, folks.

00:43:51.000 Now, that shouldn't surprise us because it seems that's where a lot of Democrats are

00:43:56.000 getting their votes from.

00:43:57.000 So maybe there's something to it.

00:43:59.000 Or maybe if Joe Biden says it long enough and the mainstream media and big tech pretend

00:44:05.000 he hasn't already lost his mind, maybe they can justify the dead people voting for Democrats.

00:44:11.000 So guys, that's the state.

00:44:15.000 Democrats are going to use lawfare and a basement campaign this year, as they did in 2020.

00:44:21.000 They have no choice but to hide Biden, because when you see him...

00:44:27.000 When you see him speak, you realize he ain't there.

00:44:31.000 They have no choice but to hide him and they have no choice but to try to rig the election.

00:44:37.000 That's what they're doing each and every day.

00:44:39.000 And we're going to get into all of this momentarily with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

00:44:45.000 But first guys, I want to take a moment to thank our incredibly brave sponsors for having the guts to support

00:46:56.000 All right, guys. As promised, joining me now, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

00:47:02.000 So, first, Ken, it's great to have you on here.

00:47:05.000 I have to just get your reaction to the Biden special counsel, her, who says, essentially...

00:47:13.000 I mean, this is... I mean, it sort of feels like a gift for Trump, but it also feels like it's the shot across the bow for Joe Biden.

00:47:40.000 I don't know how you can be mentally unfit to stand trial for criminal prosecution, but still be the guy leading the free world, the guy with the nuclear football.

00:47:49.000 How is that even possible?

00:47:51.000 I mean, you're a legal expert.

00:47:52.000 You're the attorney general of the great state of Texas.

00:47:55.000 How is this possible?

00:47:58.000 If I put this in a fiction novel, it would be so ludicrous that the book wouldn't sell because it would be so far-fetched to tell the world that this guy is in control of our entire military, our entire country.

00:48:10.000 He's the leader of the free world, and yet he can't be held responsible for his actions.

00:48:18.000 So, I mean, that's really insane and hard to believe.

00:48:21.000 And there's an oddly, surprisingly, there's a double standard, and we all know it now, in the criminal justice system, in the justice system in general, where Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals are treated completely differently.

00:48:35.000 One, they target.

00:48:36.000 The other, you can do whatever you want and nothing ever happens to you.

00:48:40.000 Yeah, no, I use myself as that one all the time.

00:48:42.000 It's, you know, me versus Hunter Biden.

00:48:44.000 And I know he's an upstanding young man and yada, yada, yada.

00:48:47.000 And yet, you know, I actually had to do the testimony and they wanted to try me for treason, a crime punishable by death.

00:48:53.000 And like, he's skated away in this and he can flaunt it and it doesn't matter.

00:48:57.000 And he can take millions there and he can say, I didn't really mean it, but he's not giving back the money and then blame addiction.

00:49:03.000 And like, I don't know. It doesn't absolve you from all of those things.

00:49:05.000 But Joe Biden is absolved from criminal activity.

00:49:09.000 He had no power to declassify these documents.

00:49:12.000 He did it. The prosecutor, the special prosecutor, appointed obviously by the very unbiased, you know, Joe Biden-controlled DOJ, is saying, no, no, no, it's bad, but like, he's old, not particularly bright.

00:49:25.000 He couldn't remember even basic details about much, so it's fine.

00:49:29.000 How can they allow him to continue to lead America?

00:49:33.000 Or do you believe this is maybe their attempt to realize that, hey, he can't win an election, he's hemorrhaging voters, the policies are a disaster, and they're going to try to switch someone in because they don't think Joe Biden can actually win, even though I don't think it's Joe Biden, I think it's just Democrat policy that has failed America, which is turning away those voters.

00:49:52.000 No, what I actually think is happening is they're going to just start dismissing this.

00:49:55.000 They think that this is far enough out from the election.

00:49:58.000 That's why it was being done now.

00:50:00.000 Still, you know, seven months away or longer from the election.

00:50:04.000 And they're hoping that Americans forget that he was not pursued for committing crimes and just move on.

00:50:11.000 I think that's the strategy.

00:50:12.000 And then the other issue about him not being fit for office.

00:50:15.000 I mean, that's been true for probably almost the entire time, if not the entire time.

00:50:19.000 And we've been living with that.

00:50:20.000 And so I would guess they think he can run again, just like he has in the past.

00:50:25.000 Yeah, maybe it doesn't matter. I mean, he's a useful idiot for the left, right? 1.00

00:50:28.000 He signs whatever they want. 1.00

00:50:31.000 Obama would have loved to sign the things that Joe Biden's signing, but he wouldn't throw his own reputation under the bus that way. 0.99

00:50:38.000 I think they're more than happy to use Joe Biden as sort of the useful idiot. 0.99

00:50:41.000 Like, just throw him in front of the train. 1.00

00:50:43.000 No one cares. Like, they run him over.

00:50:44.000 He's got no reputation. He's not going to be around for much longer.

00:50:46.000 He's clearly in mental decline.

00:50:47.000 He won't even know the difference.

00:50:49.000 Just sign here on the dotted line.

00:50:51.000 And they've put forth a lot of radical leftist policies.

00:50:54.000 You see what's going on in your own home state at the border.

00:50:57.000 So yeah, he may just be a useful puppet for the left.

00:51:00.000 I absolutely believe that's exactly what he is.

00:51:03.000 Because even Obama, as radical as he was, and he started this whole trend moving away

00:51:08.000 from the rule of law where he just issued executive orders that overrode actual law and overrode the Constitution

00:51:15.000 and made us fight him.

00:51:16.000 However, he still wanted to get reelected.

00:51:19.000 And so there were certain bridges he wouldn't cross.

00:51:21.000 With Biden, Biden doesn't know that.

00:51:24.000 He doesn't know that he may be unelectable and that he's doing insane bad things.

00:51:30.000 And so they use him to push the envelope farther than they possibly could with anybody

00:51:35.000 that was actually caring about their future.

00:51:38.000 Yeah, come on, man.

00:51:39.000 I mean, no, he doesn't know where he is.

00:51:41.000 You're right.

00:51:41.000 Well, I guess they're not even really trying to hide the corruption, right?

00:51:46.000 Double standard doesn't even begin to explain it.

00:51:49.000 I mean, it's not like it's a little bit different for you.

00:51:51.000 I mean, it's radically different.

00:51:54.000 What paths does this open up for my father with respect to sort of selective prosecutions?

00:52:00.000 You see, I mean, they're going after him for this and that, and I mean, they're changing the laws of the state of New York so that they can...

00:52:06.000 Forget about a stature of limitations and allow the nonsense to continue.

00:52:10.000 I think it's actually been probably doing us a favor because even those who've sat on the sidelines understand just how insane it is.

00:52:16.000 But the fact pattern for Biden is damning, really damning, and yet...

00:52:22.000 Nothing happens. The fact pattern for him is frankly far worse than Trump in a similar documents case because at least Trump had the ability.

00:52:28.000 It's his government. He had the ability to declassify these things.

00:52:32.000 It was stored in a safe guarded by Secret Service, not in the garage that Hunter Biden had access to or the Chinese Communist Party paid for Penn Biden Center that who knows who had access to these documents.

00:52:47.000 Look, let's call it what it is.

00:52:50.000 They can't win at the ballot box this time.

00:52:51.000 Same thing happened to me. I get sent to another county.

00:52:55.000 It's a liberal county, just like your father.

00:52:57.000 He was sent to counties where he'd have a disadvantage with the judges because they're liberal, the jury because they're liberal.

00:53:04.000 And when you get in those situations, they ignore the law.

00:53:06.000 I've had the same thing happen to me. They ignored the statute of limitations of mine as well.

00:53:09.000 They just said, it doesn't matter in your case.

00:53:11.000 And that's how it is being operated now against people like me and like your father, like you.

00:53:17.000 They don't like us, and so they don't follow any rules.

00:53:20.000 There's no law. And it's destroying the credibility of our justice system.

00:53:24.000 And I think the American people are catching on because your father is a shining example of exactly what they're doing to destroy somebody that they absolutely know is going to win an election.

00:53:34.000 And so they indict him in four different places.

00:53:36.000 They make up all of these charges that otherwise, if applied to any businessman in the world, every businessman in the world would be in jail right now for what they're claiming he did.

00:53:46.000 And that's the strategy now.

00:53:47.000 They can't beat you to the ballot box. They may not even be able to cheat their way through this one.

00:53:51.000 And so they try to put us in prison.

00:53:53.000 So that's the final straw.

00:53:55.000 And that's exactly what's happening to him.

00:53:57.000 It's what they're trying to do to you.

00:53:59.000 It's what they're trying to do to me.

00:54:00.000 And that's the strategy. Well, I mean, the common thread there, obviously, is that you kind of got fighters.

00:54:05.000 My father's a fighter. I'd like to believe I'm a fighter.

00:54:07.000 You're certainly a fighter. And they tried doing it to you, not just with the liberals, but even the rhinos in Texas. 0.60

00:54:14.000 I mean, it's hard to believe. It's like, how do those people get elected?

00:54:18.000 The Republican light in, you know, in hardcore Texas.

00:54:21.000 Is it that people don't know?

00:54:23.000 You know, what happened to you a couple of months ago and what they continue to try to do to you is sort of amazing.

00:54:28.000 And it's because, you know, you're taking on big tech.

00:54:31.000 You're taking on the Biden administration.

00:54:32.000 You're actually, you know, you're one of the AGs that's actually out there in the arena fighting.

00:54:39.000 You know, not just, you know, well...

00:54:41.000 Hopefully one day maybe that guy who's a Republican kind of is going to actually do something about the flagrant miscarriages of justice that are happening to us every day.

00:54:50.000 I mean, talk to us a little bit about that because, again, it wasn't just the Democrats.

00:54:53.000 You had a lot of supposed Republicans doing that and they're continuing to try to do that to you.

00:54:58.000 Look, this goes a decade.

00:54:59.000 When I was running for AG against a guy named Dan Branch, and he was one of WW's best friends, and the Rove machine and the Bush machine tried to defeat me, and I overwhelmingly won 65-35.

00:55:12.000 And then they battled me for the last eight years.

00:55:16.000 And so the other thing that people don't realize in Texas, our Texas house is made up of 150 members

00:55:21.000 and 65 are Democrats.

00:55:23.000 And what the Democrats figured out about 15 years ago when they lost the majority 20 years ago,

00:55:27.000 they figured out how to block vote.

00:55:29.000 And so those 65 Democrats stick together, they go pick the Republican that will give them the most.

00:55:34.000 That Republican then only needs 10 Republicans to become speaker and that's how they do it.

00:55:39.000 And so they decided, the Biden administration decided, because I'd sued them almost 50 times, that they wanted me out.

00:55:46.000 And so they came to the Texas Democrats.

00:55:48.000 And our speaker, who's supposedly a Republican, is more aligned with the Democrats than he is the Republicans.

00:55:55.000 And then he drags these other Republicans along for the bad ride.

00:55:59.000 And that's how it happens in Texas.

00:56:01.000 Unfortunately, many of those guys are being run against by real Republicans.

00:56:05.000 And I have a very good There's a very good chance that our Speaker of the House, Dave Phelan, is going to get beat because not only have I endorsed him, so has your father.

00:56:14.000 Meaning against him.

00:56:16.000 Yeah, that guy seems like a serious problem, but I mean, I guess that sounds a lot sort of like what's going on in the Senate this week, right?

00:56:24.000 You see, you know, Mitch McConnell, Lankford, Bill, the yada, yada, yada, you know, they're pushing an immigration bill that literally a couple of years ago, the Democrats wouldn't have had even the balls To suggest this as their, like, reach, you know, starting point of a negotiation.

00:56:42.000 And yet now the Republicans, this is where we are bipartisan.

00:56:45.000 Five times the amount of people that Obama's own guy, Jay Johnson, I guess, said was a disaster or would be considered an invasion.

00:56:52.000 Five times that. 5,000 people a day would be, like, the starting point.

00:56:55.000 We're not going to count people who aren't from Mexico or Canada in that 5,000, so it could be 8,500.

00:57:01.000 I mean, that's an invasion.

00:57:03.000 I mean... You led a group of state attorney generals, and this was one of the times where it's like, this was so important because it was the grassroots fighting back against that swamp.

00:57:14.000 You led a group of state attorney generals against the Schumer-Langford Open Borders Bill.

00:57:19.000 Can you explain, you know, how we don't need new legislation to secure the border?

00:57:25.000 I mean, it feels like, how is this happening, even from Republicans?

00:57:30.000 It's really hard for me to explain why Republican leadership went for this and why they decided this was such a great idea, especially since we know, three and a half years ago, the border was the most secure, I think, in my lifetime, or at least in decades.

00:57:44.000 And I think your father proved that if you actually follow the existing laws,

00:57:49.000 whether it's remain in Mexico, Title 42, whether it's stop the catch and release,

00:57:53.000 whether it's building the wall, all that stuff worked.

00:57:55.000 And Biden has dismantled it, he's not followed any of it.

00:57:58.000 And I don't understand this idea after three and a half years giving him a pass.

00:58:03.000 Cuz now what the message would be if we pass that legislation,

00:58:06.000 the message is gonna be simple.

00:58:08.000 Biden's going to say, hey, this is a Republican idea.

00:58:10.000 They jumped on board.

00:58:12.000 And it's going to be a great advantage for Biden, which, you know, immigration is his worst issue right now.

00:58:17.000 And it would hurt your father in the election because now it's all muddled and Biden could actually blame the Republicans.

00:58:23.000 I should say one other thing about the bill, too.

00:58:25.000 It would have stopped Texas and other states from suing In our own jurisdictions, we would have been forced, instead of suing in Texas over Biden's illegal immigration policies, we would have had to go to the D.C. Circuit, which is not nearly as conservative and not nearly as likely to back up federal law.

00:58:42.000 They're more likely to back up Joe Biden.

00:58:44.000 And so they were trying to force us.

00:58:45.000 This is a Republican Senate trying to force us out of our own state.

00:58:49.000 Yeah, I mean, they were—well, but it's sort of like what you were talking about, you know, sort of the Texas House, right?

00:58:54.000 It's, you know, Mitch McConnell, you know, he understands the Democrats will vote and block, but, you know, hey, as long as he does their bidding on these things, gives them what they want, they'll probably leave them alone.

00:59:03.000 He could be in a state of decline.

00:59:04.000 I guess he controls the purse strings in many cases of a lot of these Senate, you know, NRSC types of things, so— Very few will actually go up against him, but I think it's time for leadership change because what's going on there is no different.

00:59:16.000 I mean, he is doing the bidding of the Democrat Party to say that these cases in Texas should be tried in a D.C. court, like literally where the Constitution would go to die, and certainly conservative principles.

00:59:29.000 It's like so much of the lawfare they do in all the Western states and all the outdoor issues.

00:59:33.000 All of it's fought in a DC court where they can play on the heartstrings rather than actually,

00:59:38.000 you know, deal with the actual facts, the situation on the ground.

00:59:41.000 And so it's so clear that they were trying to remove any sort of level of fairness for

00:59:47.000 Texas in the process.

00:59:50.000 But I don't, I've been asked over and over.

00:59:52.000 I'd love to have a debate with James Lankford or Mitch McConnell or any of them that wanted this bill, whether it was John Cornyn.

00:59:57.000 I'd love to have the debate in public and ask them, how do you defend any of this?

01:00:02.000 I mean, there's so many bad ideas in this idea of giving Mayorkas sole discretion to decide whether somebody should have asylum.

01:00:08.000 I mean, what's up with that?

01:00:09.000 The House just tried to impeach the guy for basically betraying his country, and now the Senate wants to reward him.

01:00:15.000 I don't understand why you want to reward him and Joe Biden, who has been a complete disaster, not just on the border, but on everything.

01:00:23.000 Why do you want to reward them with a pass, more power, and basically move an issue off the table that is a really good issue for your father going forward?

01:00:32.000 Because there's a great comparison and the Republican Senate was about to muddle that and make it more difficult for your father to show the difference.

01:00:40.000 Yeah, but I mean, they're not really removing the issue, just saying, hey, you're being invaded, but now you're being invaded legally.

01:00:46.000 Nothing actually changes.

01:00:47.000 It's just that, you know, they don't have to enforce the law.

01:00:49.000 So if the 8,500 a day, that would have been a historic invasion beyond.

01:00:54.000 And yet it doesn't matter because like, well, if that's legal, that's law, it's not a problem anymore, except for what's going to happen in our cities and except for them paying.

01:01:02.000 And I'm watching all the people flip We're good to go.

01:01:26.000 If you don't try to illegally cross it.

01:01:28.000 I know that's hard to believe for the mental gymnastics of today's radical left that you've got to do to achieve or try to make sense of what they're saying, but are they going to remove the wire or not?

01:01:39.000 It's interesting. They certainly have the ability now because of a 5-4 vote on the Supreme Court to take down the fences and the wiring on our property.

01:01:47.000 However, as far as I know, none of that's happened and we're continuing to put it up.

01:01:52.000 And if they take it down, we're going to put it back up.

01:01:54.000 They can't forcibly stop us from putting it back up.

01:01:57.000 As soon as they take it down.

01:01:59.000 So we're in this game to win it and stop the illegal immigration as much as we can in Texas and as much as we can given that the cartels know exactly where to take most people, which is directly to Border Patrol at the points of entry.

01:02:11.000 I mean, think about that, right? The cartels are now funneling people to the Border Patrol, not away from them.

01:02:18.000 I mean, I feel like I'm watching an episode of South Park, right?

01:02:23.000 But are you in communication with Border Patrol agents?

01:02:26.000 What do they think about Biden?

01:02:27.000 Again, not the guys at the top whose jobs are sort of, you know, they've got to be the company men like we've seen at all these other institutions.

01:02:35.000 But are you in touch or have spoken to actual agents, the guys patrolling on the ground?

01:02:40.000 And what do they have to say if you have?

01:02:42.000 So it's a little harder to talk to them because the times that we've been down there that normally we would have access to them, the Biden administration has cut off our access, so they don't want us talking to them.

01:02:52.000 I assume they have similar positions that they had when we were talking to them, when your father was there, that it was open access to them.

01:02:58.000 We could talk to any Border Patrol agent that was around.

01:03:01.000 And they were very comfortable with those policies being enforced.

01:03:04.000 That's what they're there for. And so my guess is at least the ones that I talked to, even after When Biden first came into office, I still had some access, and they didn't like the change in policy and not being able to enforce the laws that were on the books put there by our elected representatives.

01:03:22.000 So does the cartel have control over our border or do we?

01:03:25.000 I mean, it sort of feels like they actually have just total access.

01:03:30.000 It's a partnership. It's a partnership. It's a partnership.

01:03:33.000 The Biden administration set the message first day.

01:03:36.000 First day, we're not going to deport anybody.

01:03:38.000 That message went straight to the cartels.

01:03:39.000 It wasn't like Biden had to call him.

01:03:41.000 He just announced it in public to everybody.

01:03:43.000 And then the cartels realize, hey, there's a lot of money to be made here, billions, by charging $8,000 to $12,000 a person.

01:03:51.000 It's not very hard anymore.

01:03:52.000 As you said, they don't have to hide anymore.

01:03:54.000 So it's a lot easier. Yeah, they just got to transport them to a specific location.

01:03:58.000 Yeah, you just get them up there, get as many as possible.

01:04:01.000 And it also opens up the rest of the border to sneak terrorists and Drugs, all kinds of bad people across the border.

01:04:08.000 We've even fought them, Don, suing them over bringing in known criminals, and we're actually fighting them over that.

01:04:15.000 If you can believe that, they even want known criminals in this country.

01:04:20.000 Who are illegal and who have committed crimes, they're still in support of that.

01:04:24.000 That's how far out and how dangerous this administration is.

01:04:28.000 All I can say is they do not have the best interests of the American public.

01:04:32.000 As a matter of fact, I'd say they're more interested in aiding and abetting the Chinese and getting fentanyl in here and getting the cartel's business network moving. 0.91

01:04:42.000 Yeah, I mean, if you're in some of these, you know, there's some pretty rough countries that...

01:04:46.000 I mean, are they just emptying their prisons into the United States?

01:04:48.000 Because that's what I'd be doing if I were them.

01:04:50.000 It's like, hey, we can get rid of these people.

01:04:51.000 We don't have to house them and feed them.

01:04:52.000 It's a pretty serious expense.

01:04:54.000 Now, I'm sure they don't spend as much as we do in America, you know, housing our criminal population, but it's pretty significant.

01:04:59.000 And if they could get rid of that problem, it seems like a no-brainer.

01:05:03.000 I mean, is this sort of like a Cuban purge where they're opening up the prison cells and just saying, hey, go to America, have fun, you know, enjoy yourselves?

01:05:11.000 Yeah, anybody they don't want.

01:05:12.000 They don't want the criminals in these other countries. 0.99

01:05:15.000 They don't want the poorest. So they're pushing their own people out that they don't want to have to support or they don't want to have to imprison.

01:05:23.000 And so they're sending them to Joe Biden and he's more than happy to take him.

01:05:27.000 He's actually doing everything he can financially.

01:05:30.000 And with just logistics to get those people in the places in this country that he wants them and for sure wants them in Republican states for two reasons.

01:05:38.000 One is for votes. Two is to do as much economic and social damage as you can to the Republican states because the Democrats don't like the fact that the Republican states are successful and the Democrats are losing people and their economies are declining relative to Republican states.

01:05:54.000 And so this is another way to do harm to good states that are actually heading in the right direction.

01:06:01.000 I mean, yeah, without question.

01:06:02.000 I mean, you see New York and California versus Texas and Florida,

01:06:05.000 and you look at where they started, and you look at just the seismic shift

01:06:09.000 of what's going on there, that's without question.

01:06:12.000 But I also saw recently, the Texas Criminal Court of Appeals

01:06:17.000 tried stripping your power to enforce election fraud laws.

01:06:22.000 I mean, you're the Attorney General of the state of Texas.

01:06:24.000 You've actually been a champion fighting for the obvious fraud that's going on all over the place.

01:06:32.000 What's the latest with that?

01:06:33.000 Because it feels like if you tried doing something similar in a blue state where they were making it difficult for a Republican, it would be an actual problem.

01:06:41.000 But in Texas, it's, I'll just take the head attorney for the state and just pretend like he has no power in any of these things.

01:06:46.000 What's going on there? Well, so that's an important question, and it doesn't just affect Texas.

01:06:50.000 It actually affects the whole nation, because if they're successful, I won't be able to prosecute voter fraud, and that means voter fraud won't be prosecuted.

01:06:58.000 So you know, two years ago, I had over 900 cases of voter fraud going.

01:07:02.000 We also stopped the mail-in ballot fraud going on in our state.

01:07:06.000 It was going on in 12 different liberal counties.

01:07:09.000 We were able to stop it, unlike Georgia In Arizona and other places where the attorney generals didn't step up and stop it, we were in 12 lawsuits in very liberal counties, losing in the Court of Appeals until we got ways around to the highest courts.

01:07:26.000 We were able to stop it.

01:07:27.000 And so that's what saved Texas from being Georgia. 0.96

01:07:29.000 We would have been Georgia. So now the Court of Criminal Appeals is a nine-member body.

01:07:32.000 They are like our Supreme Court on criminal matters.

01:07:37.000 So we have a bifurcated system in Texas, kind of unusual, and they make the final call on criminal matters.

01:07:42.000 So they decided two and a half years ago that they're going to strike down this statute from 1951 that directed from the legislature the Attorney General to prosecute voter fraud.

01:07:50.000 So that's what I was doing.

01:07:51.000 I was prosecuting a lot of voter fraud and we were getting convictions.

01:07:55.000 Why did they do that? They waited until two days after the filing deadline to run against three members that were up.

01:08:00.000 There are nine members. It was an 8-1 vote.

01:08:03.000 The three members that were up went unopposed because we didn't know they were going to do that.

01:08:07.000 So for two years, I haven't been able to prosecute voter fraud.

01:08:10.000 And right now, we have to defeat them.

01:08:12.000 I'm convinced they were put there by source because no one knows who they are.

01:08:15.000 No one knows who's on the Court of Criminal Appeals.

01:08:16.000 No one pays attention. So we've got three members.

01:08:19.000 We've got three people running against them.

01:08:20.000 I'm going to say their names because I want people to know about Gina Parker, David Shank, and Lee Finley.

01:08:25.000 And those elections in March are the most important elections that I know of in Texas, right along with defeating the Speaker in the House, because he is also blocking legislation to reauthorize me to prosecute voter fraud.

01:08:38.000 And if we don't fix those, we will lose Texas and the game is over.

01:08:42.000 Yeah, and it's one of those, like, you know, now, you know, three and a half years later, oh, yeah, the Hunter Biden laptop's real.

01:08:48.000 You know, you're seeing the stuff out of Georgia, and you're seeing the stuff out of Arizona.

01:08:51.000 It's like, oh, well, you know, now it's too late.

01:08:53.000 We can't, like, they're actually showing that a lot of the things people were talking about were happening.

01:08:57.000 It actually happened. There was a lot of fraud.

01:08:59.000 There was a lot of gamesmanship, but they're so used to it.

01:09:01.000 They take the win. They say it's misinformation.

01:09:04.000 It's Russian disinformation, whatever it may be.

01:09:06.000 And then when they get caught a couple of years, they're like, oh, now it's too late to do anything about it, so we're just going to have to deal with it.

01:09:11.000 I mean, if they're doing that to you in Texas, we have to make that known.

01:09:16.000 Where can people find out about that one?

01:09:17.000 Because, again, everyone always asks, like, what can we do?

01:09:20.000 I mean, that seems like a really important election that B, who does this now, like...

01:09:25.000 Wasn't even aware of, but I think it's very important to make sure we vote to make sure that these probably well-funded, possibly Soros-type people don't get to make these decisions where they can just choose not to prosecute anything, pretend it's not a problem until they flip Texas.

01:09:41.000 Once they flip Texas, none of it matters anyway, and they just get what they want, and it won't matter because we're going to live in a one-party, uni-controlled state.

01:09:51.000 Well, that's absolutely the goal.

01:09:52.000 The goal is a one-party country.

01:09:53.000 And if they can take Texas, they pretty much have it.

01:09:56.000 But KenPaxson.com is my website.

01:09:59.000 And then we're going to be obviously using Twitter.

01:10:01.000 So at KenPaxsonTX, we'll be sending out stuff up until March 5th, which is the election.

01:10:07.000 Mid-February is when early voting starts.

01:10:09.000 So I really believe this is it for us.

01:10:11.000 We have to change this.

01:10:13.000 And if they get away for another two years and we're unsuccessful in taking them out now...

01:10:17.000 That's why I think it was so important that your father endorsed in the House race, because we have to go back and fix legislation and reauthorize me to prosecute.

01:10:25.000 We've got a good Senate, and they did reauthorize me in the last session, the House, so they didn't have time to fix it and didn't care.

01:10:32.000 So we've got to fix the House, and we've got to fix the Court of Criminal Appeals, or we truly will go the way of Colorado, and we'll be a democratically controlled state.

01:10:41.000 Yeah, I mean, it's actually shocking to me, right?

01:10:44.000 So I guess you're saying, I mean, without sort of our full focus, there's actually a very real possibility that Texas goes blue.

01:10:53.000 Not necessarily because the people of Texas are actually blue, but because there'd be no way to enforce or stop the gamesmanship played by the other side that they're so willing to, you know, and flagrantly play for the laws.

01:11:04.000 So here's what Soros did.

01:11:05.000 He went around the last 10 years.

01:11:08.000 I watched him do it because I work with DAs all over the state.

01:11:11.000 We have 254 counties, and each DA is in control of prosecuting all criminal activity.

01:11:16.000 The only thing I could prosecute pursuant to state law was voter fraud.

01:11:20.000 Well, he went around to the big counties, Houston, Washington, And then Austin, which is Travis County, Bexar County, which is San Antonio, Dallas.

01:11:26.000 And he flipped out the Democrats there that I was working with, the prosecute people.

01:11:31.000 And he put in really liberal DAs who will not prosecute anything.

01:11:34.000 So if now they decide they want to commit voter fraud, they can't even admit it.

01:11:39.000 And they can't even announce, we're going to steal this election.

01:11:41.000 Here's what we're going to do.

01:11:43.000 And if those DAs don't prosecute it, there's nothing we can do.

01:11:47.000 We will have to sit by and watch our side lose When they could even, they could even be admitting that they're doing it.

01:11:55.000 So that's why this is such a genius strategy.

01:11:57.000 They take, they've already got control of the DA's in the liberal counties, and there's so many votes there.

01:12:01.000 We're talking about, you know, half the population of the state comes from Houston and Dallas area.

01:12:06.000 So they can win.

01:12:07.000 And then if you get the Court of Criminal Appeals to strike this down, and then of course the third piece was to take me out in an impeachment, it's over.

01:12:14.000 There's no one that can enforce the law.

01:12:16.000 There's no one that can stop voter fraud.

01:12:18.000 Yeah, and I mean, we've seen how well that those policies and those sort of Soros-picked DAs have worked out in San Francisco, where even the mayor's like, okay, this isn't working anymore. 0.86

01:12:26.000 It's ridiculous. Or Alvin Bragg in New York and what's going on there.

01:12:33.000 That should be a lesson for everyone.

01:12:34.000 I mean, I don't think that anyone, even some of your hardened leftists, could look at those cities and say they're going and trending in the right direction.

01:12:42.000 I think they can say, you know, that was a failed experiment. 0.99

01:12:45.000 And yet, you know, the reality is, you know, money talks and bullshit walks. 0.97

01:12:49.000 If Soros is going to give millions of dollars to these races and know they're not going to enforce anything, you saw the cops that were beat up in New York last week, and then they were released without bail by illegal migrants. 0.99

01:12:59.000 He's beat up a cop in the street, released without bail.

01:13:01.000 They'll disappear somewhere else.

01:13:02.000 They'll never show up for their hearing.

01:13:04.000 They got away with it, and it was 100% sanctioned by the district attorney.

01:13:11.000 That's a scary place to be in.

01:13:12.000 I mean, you would think that people in Texas would wake up, but you're right.

01:13:15.000 You look at places like Austin, and I'm like, wow, Austin is like left of California, left of San Francisco in many cases.

01:13:23.000 And I know great people that live there, and they've lived there their whole lives, but you get into those cities like that, and it's crazy what's going on.

01:13:31.000 The problem that we have is the media won't cover this story.

01:13:34.000 I'm the only Republican that I know that's out talking about this, and maybe it's because I was the guy that first understood it, but even other Republican elected officials are not discussing this issue.

01:13:44.000 No one takes it seriously.

01:13:46.000 And if we don't take it seriously now, I'm convinced.

01:13:49.000 If we don't win back the Court of Criminal Appeals and start winning it back now, we're going to run out of time.

01:13:55.000 And then it's just a matter of them organizing to figure out how many votes do we need.

01:13:59.000 I mean, they did it in Georgia.

01:14:01.000 Look, Georgia and Texas had the same margin of victory for Trump.

01:14:05.000 the first election.

01:14:07.000 The difference was we stopped all the mail-in ballot fraud.

01:14:10.000 They condoned it.

01:14:12.000 They allowed no signature verification.

01:14:14.000 There was no very, we couldn't even prove it.

01:14:16.000 How do you prove it if there's no signature verification?

01:14:18.000 If they had done that in my state, which is what they were trying to do,

01:14:20.000 mail them out to everybody, that would have been 8 million ballots out there.

01:14:23.000 Your father won the first race by 620,000-ish votes.

01:14:28.000 Just Harris County alone, it's 2.7 million ballots that would have been mailed out to everybody.

01:14:32.000 And all they would have had to do was wait and figure out how many ballots they needed.

01:14:35.000 Count the votes of real votes.

01:14:37.000 And they could have sat there and counted votes for three days in just one county, and guess what?

01:14:41.000 He would have lost. Guaranteed.

01:14:43.000 Well, listen, it's obvious why the media isn't going to speak up about it, because they've chosen sides.

01:14:49.000 But it's sad that the other Republicans haven't stepped up, or so few actually have, and it'll be vocal about it.

01:14:56.000 But I guess, you know, most of the...

01:14:57.000 They're worried about their own existence.

01:14:59.000 They would rather have the job than actually win or fight.

01:15:01.000 And they see... You know, what those people tried doing to you.

01:15:05.000 And I mean, they used you as the cruddle.

01:15:07.000 Hey, if you step out, if you talk about these things, if you fight back, you know, we're going to try to impeach you.

01:15:12.000 We're going to try to run you out of the state.

01:15:13.000 We're going to try to ruin your life. 0.90

01:15:15.000 We're going to try to throw you in jail, whatever it may be.

01:15:17.000 You know, and they tried doing many of these things to you.

01:15:20.000 And so, you know, maybe that was the shot across the bow to the other Republicans.

01:15:23.000 I just hope we eventually man up because, like, we know what they're doing.

01:15:26.000 We understand it. We just need the balls to actually push back on it. 0.91

01:15:30.000 Well, and we're doing it. 0.87

01:15:31.000 And the grassroots, they're starting to catch on.

01:15:34.000 I've traveled all over the state doing shows like yours.

01:15:36.000 I'm trying to do as many shows to talk about this before the primary, because I really believe the Texas primary voters understand this issue.

01:15:43.000 The Court of Criminal Appeals will be changed, and we will be, many of these House members, and I believe we're going to be Dave Phelan.

01:15:50.000 I truly believe he's in serious trouble.

01:15:52.000 I've seen the polling. He was already down significantly before your father endorsed.

01:15:56.000 Can you imagine how much How much more he is down after that endorsement.

01:16:01.000 And I'm hoping your father will endorse in a few more races, particularly the Court of Criminal Appeals.

01:16:06.000 I'm hoping you will, because I need all the help I can get to save Texas.

01:16:09.000 Well, we'll talk offline.

01:16:10.000 You've got to get me the details. But no, it's such an important one.

01:16:13.000 But again, they're going after you because you're effective.

01:16:16.000 They're going after you because you're actually fighting the fights that actually matter.

01:16:20.000 I mean, another big one. I mean, you just filed a motion in court to stop the State Department from censoring conservative media outlets.

01:16:29.000 That's clearly been going on.

01:16:30.000 They want to collude. Our friend Jeff Landry, Attorney General next door over in Louisiana, one of the guys really combating the collusion between the Biden administration and big tech.

01:16:41.000 But can you explain, you know, the details of it, right?

01:16:44.000 Going after the State Department for censoring conservative media outlets.

01:16:49.000 I mean, it seems like a big deal. I mean, for the people who scream about, you know, fascism all the time, seems like an awfully fascist kind of thing to do.

01:16:56.000 What's going on? Yeah, so you hear this all the time.

01:16:59.000 You know, businesses can discriminate.

01:17:01.000 They don't have to worry about First Amendment. 0.95

01:17:03.000 It's the government that can't discriminate and stop people from exercising their free speech rights.

01:17:08.000 So in this case, what Biden has done is he has gone after, through the use of social media companies, they've colluded and they've worked together.

01:17:16.000 So they're sort of hiding behind the corporate structure and using the government to push through that corporate structure and stop conservative outlets from From being affected.

01:17:26.000 And you can see there are different media outlets that are on there with us, that sued with us, like Daily Caller.

01:17:31.000 And it's definitely been planned.

01:17:34.000 It's been worked on. And if they can get away with this, then the First Amendment is going to mean absolutely nothing in this country because the government, Biden administration, can hide behind these corporations and say, well, it's the corporation violating your First Amendment rights, and they're allowed to do that.

01:17:49.000 We have nothing to do with it just because we planned the whole thing.

01:17:52.000 Yeah. I mean, it seems like a crazy issue.

01:17:56.000 And I guess that's their way of skirting around the law.

01:17:59.000 They'll figure out. I have a feeling if it was us doing it to them, they'd figure out a way to make that.

01:18:03.000 So how does that lawsuit play out?

01:18:06.000 Where is that held? Does it go to one of these places where, again, the Constitution goes to die?

01:18:11.000 Or do you think this actually has a chance of succeeding?

01:18:15.000 And how do you make it so?

01:18:16.000 Yeah. Well, so fortunately, the Senate has not moved us in this particular issue to the D.C. Circuit.

01:18:22.000 We can actually file it in Texas and move our way up through good courts.

01:18:26.000 We've got good judges.

01:18:27.000 So it should go through the Fifth Circuit, and who knows, it may end up at the Supreme Court.

01:18:32.000 But I think we have a really good chance of winning.

01:18:34.000 If the government can do indirectly what they can't do directly, We're in trouble.

01:18:39.000 If this is condoned by the court system, then the government is going to continue to do it, and our free speech rights are going to be violated indirectly by the government through these tech companies, through these social media companies.

01:18:55.000 Yeah, I mean, yeah, the tech companies themselves are already doing a bad enough, you know, we understand the protections that they get that I don't think they should have and all of that.

01:19:03.000 But if this is working and essentially colluding with big government, I think it's very problematic for all of the things we hold near and dear as Americans.

01:19:11.000 And so I think it's an important one for all of us to fight.

01:19:14.000 We have no choice, frankly.

01:19:16.000 No, I agree. This is fundamental.

01:19:19.000 There's a reason this is a First Amendment.

01:19:21.000 And if there's any way for the government to take it away, you know the Biden administration would love to eliminate speech on our side because it's a very powerful tool to have transparency and the truth out there.

01:19:32.000 That's the last thing the Biden administration wants, just like they don't want the story about, you know, him being let off when he committed crimes.

01:19:39.000 I mean, they'd love for that just to go away.

01:19:41.000 They'd love for them to have control of the media where they can put out their fake stories about your father and me.

01:19:47.000 And it's a huge advantage if they control the message, much like it is in Venezuela or China, or you pick a country where there's not free press, the government has a huge advantage.

01:19:59.000 Yeah. Well, I mean, you've now filed really countless lawsuits against the Biden administration, probably, I mean, the most of any of the AGs that I'm aware of.

01:20:08.000 You know, what did you learn in any of the discovery or the depositions that you took from any of these cases that perhaps shocked you the most?

01:20:17.000 I mean, you know, how much worse is it than what we already believe to probably be pretty bad?

01:20:23.000 Well, so it's, I think the thing that's most shocking, I mean, I think we have 60-something lawsuits conspired in the administration, which is, think about that, in three and a half years, that's a lot of lawsuits against the federal government.

01:20:34.000 And I think what's the most shocking is not that, because I'm not surprised that they don't follow federal law.

01:20:39.000 I mean, he made it very clear on day one, we're not deporting anybody.

01:20:42.000 That's a clear violation of federal law.

01:20:44.000 So I'm not even shocked anymore that he has no respect for the constitutional role that he has.

01:20:51.000 He has no respect, and his administration has no respect for any federal law, for states' rights.

01:20:56.000 He has none of that. It's all about raw power.

01:20:58.000 I think what's so amazing is how adept they've become when we sue them and win, then they just come back and try it a different way.

01:21:07.000 And so it's just this endless fight with them over, you know, we win this, but then we win this, and then they come back and say, well, we'll just do it this way, we'll do it.

01:21:14.000 And so we're spending constant resources and time and effort fighting our own government who's supposed to be on our side, supposed to be helping us.

01:21:22.000 Instead, you know, they're on the side of cartels or they're on the side of, you know, terrorists coming in.

01:21:27.000 It's ridiculous what we have to deal with.

01:21:29.000 Yeah, you get the win. They just figure out a way to repackage it.

01:21:32.000 So you're constantly fighting.

01:21:33.000 They run out the clock. It doesn't really matter.

01:21:35.000 They got the big purse strings and, you know, it's hard.

01:21:38.000 I mean, it's David versus Goliath in many cases.

01:21:41.000 You know what? I think the thing that I think bothers me the most, the two things that bother me the most and that are so disheartening to me, and it's hard for me to believe that a president of the United States and that an administration would actually go this far, but to knowingly open up the border where you know that terrorists are coming across the border and that that is likely going to lead to potentially thousands, if not more deaths.

01:22:05.000 Yeah. Down the road. And second, the fact that they've opened up the border to the fentanyl trade, and that I have so many friends whose kids are dead today, who do not live, that were young, that had no idea that they were taking fentanyl, and they're not here today, and that some of that could have been stopped had we just enforced our federal laws.

01:22:24.000 And the Biden administration knows that both of those things are true, and yet they still promote it.

01:22:29.000 That to me I mean, they did it today.

01:22:33.000 I mean, I think they threatened, hey, if we don't, you know, pass this bill, if we don't get Ukraine funding in there, like, we're just going to have to tell ICE to stop doing anything at the border or just open it up even more.

01:22:44.000 I mean, I don't know that you can do it much, but they're literally threatening the American

01:22:49.000 public with more of this.

01:22:51.000 And again, it's not just illegal immigration.

01:22:54.000 You're right.

01:22:55.000 It's the human trafficking. 0.73

01:22:56.000 It's the sex trafficking.

01:22:57.000 It's the drug trafficking that comes along with that.

01:22:59.000 It's the flagrant crime that we're introducing to our cities.

01:23:02.000 And they're saying, hey, if you don't give us more money for Ukraine, because we've got

01:23:07.000 to really protect their border while we can't do anything on ours.

01:23:10.000 I mean, that should be shy.

01:23:12.000 It's extortion is what it is.

01:23:14.000 I mean, they are extorting the American people with their rights and their lives for the sake of a policy, I guess, designed to get the votes in time.

01:23:23.000 Until they have a similar policy on the Ukraine border where they elect 5,000 Russians in a day.

01:23:29.000 And maybe we can cut that.

01:23:31.000 It has to be like equal, right?

01:23:32.000 If we're going to agree that I'm being facetious, right?

01:23:35.000 But the reality is, those two should never be tied.

01:23:38.000 He has an obligation to defend the border.

01:23:40.000 He has no obligation to defend the border in Ukraine from the Russians. 0.93

01:23:44.000 Whether we should or shouldn't is not part of what I worry about.

01:23:47.000 I worry about my own state and protecting my own state.

01:23:50.000 And the reality of capitulating to that a few months out from the election to me is insane.

01:23:56.000 The worst he can do, the worst they can do to us is do another seven or eight months of what they've been doing.

01:24:02.000 And then guess what? We're going to have a new president named Donald Trump, and he's going to come back and start working to fix the mess that the Biden administration has created, a capitulation To this deal is insane, and I would tell the Senate, please don't do it.

01:24:18.000 You've obviously made yourself a target by going after these things.

01:24:21.000 You're going after tech. You're going after the administration.

01:24:23.000 You're trying to enforce existing immigration law.

01:24:26.000 That makes you a terrible person in the eyes of the radical left, and they've gone after you.

01:24:30.000 What are the other things that you're suing the Biden administration for that are sort of relevant?

01:24:34.000 I mean, you're talking about you got a primary in a couple of weeks.

01:24:37.000 You're talking about these things for Texas.

01:24:39.000 What else is at stake for the Lone Star State in 2024 and beyond?

01:24:46.000 Well, we've sued them.

01:24:47.000 Obviously, immigration has been our number one sort of legal battle.

01:24:51.000 We've sued them over all kinds of regulations that are illegal, particularly as it relates to oil and gas.

01:24:56.000 I know that, you know, under Obama, our biggest fight was with the EPA, and that's still continued on because obviously we're an oil and gas situation.

01:25:04.000 Thank you.

01:25:11.000 Thank you.

01:25:22.000 So we're constantly in battles over energy and regulations and EPA regulations trying to find...

01:25:29.000 They are always trying to find creative ways to stop us from producing energy here.

01:25:35.000 They would rather give it to other countries who, by the way, pollute more than we do.

01:25:39.000 Net-net, we do it better.

01:25:41.000 We do it with less pollution. It saves people, consumers money.

01:25:46.000 Everything's better about Texas and the rest of the United States producing its own energy And yet the Biden administration favors protecting other countries and effectively helping China because ultimately they're benefiting more than anybody off of those policies and how they're favoring green energy.

01:26:05.000 Well, they're helping China.

01:26:07.000 They're more than happy to take energy from Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terror. 0.98

01:26:13.000 Venezuela, a regime they didn't recognize officially.

01:26:17.000 And now we're begging them for that.

01:26:20.000 But I saw last week they canceled because you were going to actually enforce...

01:26:24.000 Existing immigration laws, they made it more difficult for Texas to export some of their LNG, the liquid natural gas, that you have, that you're able to do, but they were just going to say, we're just going to make you suffer, which is not just the state, but a lot of hardworking Americans, a lot of blue-collar Americans, a lot of people that depend on those jobs.

01:26:44.000 They'll also make them suffer to try to apply pressure.

01:26:47.000 I mean, sounds kind of facious, sounds kind of draconian, yet they're doing it in plain sight, and they're not even pretending about it.

01:26:52.000 No, it not only hurts Americans, but guess what?

01:26:54.000 It hurts our allies because the Europeans are highly dependent on that Natural gas and other products that we send over there instead, you know, because they are now importing from Russia as much as they used to be or at all.

01:27:07.000 And so you're putting our allies in very difficult situations.

01:27:12.000 And again, I think you're giving the Chinese an advantage. 0.99

01:27:15.000 You're giving Iran and some of our other enemies an advantage. 1.00

01:27:19.000 And all you're doing is hurting your own people and your allies.

01:27:21.000 It makes, again, policies that don't make sense, but actually the opposite of what they should be.

01:27:27.000 So, you know, you hear a lot about sort of these, you know, California transplants.

01:27:32.000 You know, they're coming to Texas and, you know, don't California my Texas.

01:27:35.000 We see the bumper stickers.

01:27:36.000 We see, in many cases, the road signage.

01:27:39.000 Can you talk about how those dynamics are playing out?

01:27:43.000 I mean, people are fleeing disastrous policies like California's, and yet they're bringing so much of it with them when they go to Texas.

01:27:54.000 You know, they're sort of, you know, maybe they'll leave 10% behind some of the truly insane stuff.

01:27:58.000 But how is that dynamic playing out right now in Texas?

01:28:02.000 And what does it mean for the future of Texas?

01:28:04.000 Do these people eventually wake up or do they, are they just content sort of, you know, essentially bringing parasitic policies with them and destroying whatever their host state happens to be?

01:28:15.000 Yeah, that makes no sense either, right?

01:28:16.000 You escape all the problems you didn't like from your democratically controlled state and then you come to a state like ours or Florida or any Republican state and you vote the way you voted.

01:28:26.000 I don't know how you explain somebody doing that, but I don't think it's necessarily true that everybody fleeing is a Democrat or liberal and bringing bad policy.

01:28:36.000 I think there's a lot of Californians fleeing that want freedom.

01:28:40.000 There are a lot of Illinois, people from Illinois, New York that are fleeing, New Jersey.

01:28:44.000 They just want the same opportunities that we offer in Republican states.

01:28:49.000 And that's why the Biden administration has been so harsh with their immigration policies, because our economies are growing.

01:28:56.000 We are providing jobs.

01:28:57.000 We are providing opportunity.

01:28:59.000 We are providing lower taxation.

01:29:02.000 You know, that's effective at having people come to our states and people are voting with their feet.

01:29:07.000 Honestly, I truly, back to this other issue, the bigger threat right now is not being able to prosecute or hold people accountable when they're cheating with voter fraud, particularly with mail-in ballots.

01:29:19.000 If we can hold the line on protecting our state from voter fraud, I truly believe the dynamic economies and the dynamic states that are offering opportunity will continue to attract people that want that opportunity.

01:29:32.000 And guess what? Some of the people that come from California that don't have the right views, I've noticed some changes in some of them.

01:29:39.000 They're starting to get, hey, this actually is better.

01:29:41.000 This does work. We're switching over.

01:29:44.000 And I've seen it. Well, that's important.

01:29:46.000 Listen, obviously, the success is there.

01:29:50.000 I mean, it's visible. You see it in the policies.

01:29:52.000 You see it in the results. You see it in the financials.

01:29:54.000 You see it in incomes.

01:29:56.000 It's sort of a no-brainer, so I hope you get them all there.

01:29:58.000 Now, I know, again, you've got a primary coming up in March.

01:30:02.000 Give us the information where people can go to find out about these things.

01:30:05.000 Again, not just for your own.

01:30:07.000 Obviously, yours is important because you're going to be a big target.

01:30:09.000 They're going to spend a lot of money fighting against you because you have effectively prosecuted the case against the insanity of the other side.

01:30:16.000 But where they can also find out about some of the other House races and which way they should be voting is the Republicans have to say, I'm a super right.

01:30:23.000 Here's a picture. I took a selfie with some conservative people.

01:30:25.000 Therefore, I'm endorsed. How do they find out who are the real people they should be supporting in Texas?

01:30:30.000 Yeah, so we're going to be tweeting out at Ken Paxson TX almost every day.

01:30:35.000 You're going to see more and more about these House races and these Court of Criminal Appeals races.

01:30:41.000 And then KenPaxson.com will have all the endorsements on there very shortly because the election is about a week and a half away, at least early voting.

01:30:49.000 So I'm going to be out talking about this and I'm going to be all over the state trying to preach, hey, we've got to fix this now.

01:30:57.000 We're not going to be the same state we were.

01:30:59.000 Well, guys, definitely check that out.

01:31:02.000 If you're in Texas or if you know people in Texas, understand what's at stake, understand the battlefield, understand the game that the left is trying to play, and understand that they will be incredibly, incredibly well-funded and actually well-organized.

01:31:15.000 I don't like them. I think their policies have failed us.

01:31:17.000 I think that's an objective fact, but it doesn't matter.

01:31:19.000 They're going to keep going. So make sure to follow Ken.

01:31:23.000 Check him out there. Go to KenPaxson.com.

01:31:26.000 Check it out there. Make sure we're in this game, that we're not just sitting it out, assuming that Texas will be red forever.

01:31:32.000 It will be. With common sense, but we're not dealing with that, and we're dealing with well-funded, frankly, malicious sense at this point.

01:31:41.000 So, Ken, thank you so much.

01:31:43.000 Thanks for all you do fighting for the great state of Texas as Attorney General and really fighting the administration outside of just that.
