Tucker Carlson - On Monday, a trucker convoy heads to Texas to try to protect our country from invasion. A conversation with one of the leaders of it, as well as with the attorney general of Texas on where the border standoff goes next.
Tucker Carlson speaks with Texas AG Ken Paxton, who accuses the Biden administration of colluding with cartels to bypass border laws, calling it a national security crisis. Paxton warns Texas will act independently while the "Take Our Border Back" convoy—led by veterans like Dr. Pete Chambers—departs January 29 from Virginia Beach, routing through Florida and Louisiana to Kimato near Eagle Pass to expose open-border chaos. Chambers frames it as a nonviolent protest against migrant overcrowding and cartel dominance, demanding federal accountability before the situation spirals further. [Automatically generated summary]
You know, I don't think anybody knows exactly what happened because we're in uncharted territory where we have a federal government that has largely not just ignored federal law, not just ignored their constitutional role.
To protect the state and the country, they're actually participating with cartels and bringing people here as fast as they possibly can.
I just don't think we've ever seen anything like this in our country where we have a federal government, not just not doing their job, but affirmatively working with bad people to do bad things to the country.
that and he's making up his own rules as we go that allow the cartels to gain a foothold, a really strong foothold in the United States, not just in my state, but really across the, they're building a network across the country so that they can keep doing this well after Biden's gone. - So just to like the they're building a network across the country so that they can keep doing this well after Biden's gone. - So just to like the next few days or weeks or months or who knows, the Biden administration What are they demanding that you do?
There's not one power center in this country, the media, the government at all levels and both parties, big business.
There's not one power center in the United States that would like to see secure borders.
And so, of course, we haven't had secure borders and now we're being invaded.
And no one's really doing anything about it.
So it was just a matter of time before citizens who love their country, in many cases who have served their country overseas, decided to get a little more active in protecting their country.
And that's why we're about to see the Take Our Border Back convoy.
It begins on January 29th.
Truckers, bikers, anyone who wants to come and protect the United States and demand that our government secure our southern border is welcome.
They'll be driving...
And one of the people who will help them navigate that state is Dr. Pete Chambers.
Chambers is, true to his title, a physician.
He's a former Green Beret.
He was recently down in Eagle Pass, Texas, and here's part of what he saw.
unidentified
Dr. Chambers from Eagle Pass, Texas.
Today's the 18th of December.
We're out here at the point of entry.
5,000 are sitting on the ground right now.
It's increasing as we go along.
Information that we've received.
It says another 7,000 should be processed through this particular point by morning.
Joe and I have been here many times.
Last time we were down here, we were in uniform.
And now I'm a civilian and in the Army of God.
So we'll keep telling truths.
And you need to get this video to your legislators and tell them, in the state of Texas particularly, this is out of control.
So not surprisingly, Doc Pete Chambers has been attacked by dying legacy media outlets as a deeply scary person, because your country being invaded is not scary.
It's all totally normal.
We thought it would be worth talking to Doc Pete Chambers about what he expects to happen with this convoy and his role in it.
And so can you tell us the root of the convoy and who you expect to join it?
unidentified
Right.
So right now they're going to be leaving out of, on the 29th, Virginia Beach, which is where the 1607 Covenant, the landing, which signified the John Smith landing in 1607, where they planted a cross on the beach and said, hey, this is a covenant to this nation, to God.
And then they're going to leave from there, and they're going to go down through Florida.
They're going to cut across Highway 10 through Louisiana, Baton Rouge, Houston, into Dripping Springs, Texas, where I'll be working out of, and then on to near Eagle Pass.
Now, I'm part of the advisory of this, and as I advise, I used to be in that same unit that's down there.
That's the unit that has a streamer on it from the Alamo.
It's a very historic Texas unit.
And so they are down there holding the line.
And I know those soldiers.
I worked with them.
I took care of them as a doctor with Operation Lone Star.
They're busy.
So the convoy is going to go just a little bit shy, just a little bit to the north, really, in an area about 30 miles away in Kimato, Texas, to a children's camp.
A beautiful lady down there who has taken care of orphans and widows.
You can't write this stuff in a book.
I couldn't make this up.
But she was overrun, first of all, by the COVID mandates.
That said, you've got to shut down.
You can't keep running this shelter, number one.
Number two, she was overrun by the numbers of volumes of illegals that were coming through her neighborhood trying to get into her food pantry.
And then number three, the cartels are a significant presence in that area because that is the end point of where they do the end around.

So we are looking at the bright, shiny object that is Eagle Pass.
That's a bright, shiny object.
Look here.
The droids that you're not looking for, if you will.
Or just to the north, right in that location.
And so what this is going to do is it's going to bring light to it because we have to understand that there is a constitution, both state and federal, and that we have to, number one, expose those that argue things in the Hegelian dialectics, if you will, of tort law and look at the constitution, which is exactly what this is a focus.
On the constitution, we the people, that's why we the people will be riding along mama bears, cops, veterans, truckers.
And going to that location to bring light.
There is nothing nefarious about this.
Matter of fact, I am suggesting to them that they, and they know this, they know this, that this is a peaceful demonstration.
