| The state of Texas appears to be on a kind of collision course with the Biden administration, with the federal government, over the southern border. | ||
| Can it be protected or must the invasion continue? | ||
| The Supreme Court has waited on this to some limited extent, but hasn't solved the problem or answered the question. | ||
| So what happens now? | ||
| Things are moving very quickly and it seemed like there was no one better to tell us what... | ||
| The future may hold. | ||
| Then the Attorney General of the State in Question, Ken Paxton, who joins us now. | ||
| Mr. Attorney General, thank you so much for coming on. | ||
| So that's the question. | ||
| Where does this go? | ||
| It seems like there are two large forces speeding toward each other. | ||
| No one's swerving. | ||
| What happens, do you think? | ||
| 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. | ||
| I just, I don't remember anything like this. | ||
| Sue, can I just ask you to stop there since you're a law enforcement, you're the chief law enforcement officer of your state. | ||
| Can you assess whether what the Biden administration is doing now is, strictly speaking, criminal? | ||
| Are they breaking the law in how they're handling the border? | ||
| I think they are. | ||
| I mean, they're taking federal law and dismantling it. | ||
| He has a constitutional duty to implement what has been put in place by the elected representatives. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And he's just not doing that. | ||
| 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? | ||
| And where does this go short term, do you think? | ||
| You know, I'm not exactly sure what we're supposed to do. | ||
| I mean, is it we're supposed to let them, help them cut down wire and fences? | ||
| We weren't ordered to do that by anybody that I know of. | ||
| And so we have no obligation to help them violate federal law, and we're not going to do it. | ||
| And I don't think Abbott's going to give in. | ||
| I certainly don't plan on giving in. | ||
| So they're pushing us to help them, and we're not going to help them violate federal law. | ||
| We're going to try to defend our border. | ||
| The best we can with the resources we have. | ||
| And, you know, my job is to do it in court. | ||
| Abbott has other resources at his disposal. | ||
| I hope he uses every single one of them to stop this. | ||
| 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. | ||
| He joins us now. | ||
| Doc Chambers, thank you so much for coming on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's great to be here, Tucker. | |
| So what can we expect? | ||
| With this convoy, can you describe what it is and what its purpose is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| This is a peaceful assembly. | ||
| This is what we do as Americans. | ||
| This is how we shed light to a subject. | ||
| This shedding of the light will result in exposing, really, what an open border policy looks like. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We know the problem sets in Texas. | |
| Literally, I promise you this, that 40 miles north of that border, there would be people that will never have heard. | ||
| Of the border problem, because they just watch mainstream media. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So this is what that is about. | |
| 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. |
