[00:00:00] "You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network and this is the Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program. And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
[00:00:28] Welcome ladies and gentlemen, tonight's live broadcast. I'm your host, James Edwards. The Saturday evening, February the 2nd. You can hear the hustle and bustle as we broadcast live from Orlando, Florida tonight. Fantastic event. We've been here for a couple of days, still a couple of days to come and we're picking up stories every minute. Big show tonight. This was the show we put off last week to kind of let it develop a little bit more and we've got an all-star cast for you this evening.
[00:00:58] Coming up in the second hour tonight, Peter Brimolo of vdair.com but first not one but two fantastic
[00:01:03] congressmen both named Steve, Steve King from the state of Iowa as with us to be soon joined
[00:01:09] by Representative Steve Stockman of Texas and we are talking about that all-important situation
[00:01:15] or constitutional crisis. What is it? At the Texas border, let's get things started right
[00:01:21] now. Congressman, how are you doing tonight? Great to have you back. Great to have you
[00:01:24] back in person. Just a couple of feet away.
[00:01:26] And it's really good to be in person with you, James. We've done a lot of programs along
[00:01:30] the way. Most of them from my little studio in my home down to your studio where you are.
[00:01:35] And now here we are at the conference together at eye to eye and I get to meet your family
[00:01:39] and we get to exchange a lot of information from the good speakers that are here at this conference
[00:01:44] and the ones that we'll hear again tomorrow. That's exactly right and we did have a fantastic
[00:01:47] dinner last night, red meat of course and we ate it well and had an opportunity to sit down
[00:01:55] with your wife and you with mine and my children. So it's been a wonderful time of fellowship
[00:01:59] in addition to getting down to some important issues. None more important though than what's
[00:02:04] taking place on the border right now and I guess to set the stage, I don't know if anybody
[00:02:09] would be unfamiliar with this, but the Cliff's notes version would be, the Supreme Court
[00:02:13] in a five to four ruling, maybe surprisingly, maybe unsurprisingly, kind of ruled in favor
[00:02:18] of the Biden administration and Greg Abbott said he was not going to obey that order.
[00:02:24] Break it down for us Congressman. Well I certainly support Greg Abbott's decision and some of
[00:02:29] this took too long for it to happen, but when we finally got Greg Abbott's decision that
[00:02:33] they're going to secure the border, that they put concertino wire up along there, they had
[00:02:37] those floating barriers out there too and the Biden administration ordered that they
[00:02:41] be sunk, deflated in sunk and that they went down and already cut some of the wire here
[00:02:46] some weeks ago and so now we're in this place where the Supreme Court has apparently and
[00:02:52] I don't understand the rationale of this except for SB 1070, the decision that was made back
[00:02:58] out of Arizona's law that the states can't even mirror federal immigration law, they
[00:03:03] can't even mirror it and that must have been the star, sorry decisis that they used when
[00:03:08] they made that decision and so here's what I would say is that we've got 25 state
[00:03:12] governors that have said we will support Texas and will help secure the border and will
[00:03:16] send our National Guard down there to do it and I say that's great, send them all down
[00:03:20] there and secure that border, the whole border if you can do it, but my question
[00:03:24] I have is that they're they defend in the concertino wire and the border and so if
[00:03:29] that's the case then which way do they face, do they face north against the people
[00:03:33] Biden would send against our National Guard or do they face south to secure the border,
[00:03:37] every other one would be fine, one one way one the other.
[00:03:40] Recapping one more time, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government can remove
[00:03:44] razor wire erected in the U.S.-Mexico border by Texas law enforcement which government
[00:03:48] argued which the government argued the federal government that is illegally
[00:03:52] prevented them from managing the border. The 5-4 decision vacated an appeals court
[00:03:56] ruling last month that allowed the wire to stay amid continued legal standoff over
[00:04:01] border jurisdiction. Now this is what Governor Abbott said in his letter seen and
[00:04:06] read around the world now, this was the closing paragraph which I think was most
[00:04:11] telling. The failure of the Biden administration to fulfill the duties imposed
[00:04:16] by Article 4, Section 4 has triggered Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3, which
[00:04:25] reserves to this state the right to self-defense for these reasons. I have
[00:04:29] already declared an invasion under Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas's
[00:04:34] constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. The authority is the
[00:04:39] supreme law of the land, Abbott rights, and supersedes any federal statutes to the
[00:04:43] contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and
[00:04:47] other Texas personnel are acting on that authority as well as the state to
[00:04:51] secure the Texas border. So people would argue this is a constitutional crisis
[00:04:55] in the brewing. Where do you land? I say it's a constitutional crisis and it's a
[00:04:58] willful invasion and it's an action on the policy that's permeated from the
[00:05:03] President of the United States, Joe Biden. And when I think back they impeached
[00:05:07] Donald Trump because of a phone call to a foreign leader because they want to
[00:05:11] investigate something that Joe Biden has confessed to in public video, and
[00:05:15] here we have it, and Joe Biden's still President, and Mayorkas is still the
[00:05:19] Director. I think this is outrageous. I mean, I used the word treason last
[00:05:25] night in a private conversation. I don't know if that terms is anything but
[00:05:29] right. In fact, it sounds strong to us for using it, but if you're undermining the
[00:05:33] United States of America, if you're opening up and destroying the sovereignty of
[00:05:36] the country, if you don't have a border, you're not a sovereign nation and
[00:05:40] advertising to bring in millions of people that now has run over 10 million, 12 million,
[00:05:44] maybe more. That's the ones we counted, let alone those the Godaways and the
[00:05:48] Godaways are multiply them times or four or 10 for that matter. So when you put
[00:05:53] that all together, no, there is an invasion. And by the way, the Constitution, the
[00:05:57] United States requires that the federal government provide to protect us against
[00:06:02] invasion, protect the states from invasion. Instead they're inviting the invasion. So
[00:06:06] put the guard down there and if push comes to shove and the commander-in-chief orders
[00:06:10] that guard to disperse, I think instead they'll hold their ground. And I think
[00:06:14] if they have to face federal people in uniform, I think that I think that they
[00:06:18] will hold them off and the people that are taken orders from our commander-in-chief
[00:06:21] will not follow them out if it means anything violent down there on their border
[00:06:24] against our own people. A lot of good people in this country, although it is hard to
[00:06:28] underestimate the ignorance of a lot of people when it comes to very basic things
[00:06:32] in terms of civics and government. So a lot of people would naturally ask, and this
[00:06:36] isn't a question that only the ignorant would ask. This is an interesting question.
[00:06:40] It's a legitimate question. Who is in charge of securing the international border
[00:06:44] of the federal government of the states? Abbott answered very clearly in his letter
[00:06:48] who he believes has the control there. You wrote this very powerful
[00:06:54] statement from Steve King here. A couple of days ago on Twitter, this was actually
[00:06:59] from January the 28th, 25 state governors will send their national guard troops to
[00:07:03] support Texas in defense of the border. Whether it be facing north or south, that's
[00:07:06] a question you just asked. Bring it Biden, stand strong. Guardsmen, if Biden
[00:07:09] sends troops to cut the wire, meet force with force, you right. Guardsmen and federal
[00:07:13] troops all took a note to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign
[00:07:16] and domestic, Biden's support for the invasion of 2 million foreign nationals is
[00:07:20] proof that certain, proof certain that Biden is a domestic enemy of the United States.
[00:07:24] That's powerful statement, Congressman. His troops have no duty to use force in
[00:07:28] the motion of the invasion and they will not even under orders from the Commander
[00:07:31] in Chief. They will not fire on their fellow countrymen. Stop the invasion,
[00:07:34] save our nation. I've said that better when I wrote it than I did when I did the
[00:07:38] interviews a few minutes ago here, James. I would have had a chance to think it over
[00:07:41] and that's pretty much the composite of how I would describe that. And when you
[00:07:45] think about things that have happened in history, the dramatic events in history,
[00:07:49] when you give people orders to do something that they know is wrong, first of all,
[00:07:53] when they're violating the Constitution, there's nobody there wearing a uniform
[00:07:56] on oath that has to accept and follow an unconstitutional order. The President
[00:08:00] of the United States takes an oath to take care that the laws be faithfully
[00:08:04] executed and instead he's executing the law and in his open borders plan that's
[00:08:09] there, all of that is in violation of his oath and Congress writes the laws, it's
[00:08:14] his job to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. He takes the oath to
[00:08:18] do that and he's surely violating that oath and I don't think he ever had any
[00:08:21] intention of taking care that those laws would be faithfully executed. So when he
[00:08:26] ignored the when he reversed the executive orders that Donald Trump wrote in the
[00:08:30] earliest time of his presidency, the ones that worked, not good enough for me, but
[00:08:34] it worked better than anything we'd seen in the recent history, such as remain a
[00:08:38] net Mexico policy and was it Title 42 if I'm not mistaken. Those were good
[00:08:42] policies and they were working and they were moving things in the right
[00:08:45] direction and slowing down the illegal traffic. But now Biden reversed all of that
[00:08:50] welcome wagon up all the way down south of the Panama Canal and the other side
[00:08:53] of the Darian Gap in Clerota, Columbia and Ecuador for that matter. That's the
[00:08:58] path that we've talked about the Chinese last night at dinner, the Chinese
[00:09:01] coming from you answered quite interestingly from China. I had to raise
[00:09:06] James a little bit when he asked that question.
[00:09:08] – where do these Chinese come from? Well, China. But it's a willful act on the part of China, too. They're sending their people across over here with – they're showing them a video and giving them maps and how to get into the – get into the United States, landing in Ecuador, going through Colombia, taking a boat across the straits over to the – the Darien Gap, and then walking up through that dangerous area of the Darien Gap. And I will say that Michael Jan has been covering that from the Darien Gap for months now.
[00:09:38] And he's perhaps our best foreign correspondent or war correspondent. He goes into the odd of
[00:09:42] the dangerous places in the world. And not only is he saying that he's seeing the Chinese
[00:09:46] poor through there, and these are military-aged Chinese men, at least by the statistics that
[00:09:50] they provide, 89 percent of them are military-aged Chinese men. And he said that – not all is
[00:09:56] that, but there's reports – I don't know if it was Aizen for Michael Jan, but he reported
[00:10:01] that these Chinese are drinking chicken blood right out of the neck. And that's a symbol
[00:10:05] of the Special Forces of Chinese when they accomplish a mission. That's one of the
[00:10:09] ways that they more or less celebrate their event.
[00:10:12] Of course, if that was the only problem we had coming over there, that'd be one. But
[00:10:17] that's just one of many and not even nearly the biggest. I mean, the biggest – and you
[00:10:22] know, we were – I say joking, perhaps half joking. I mean, the last time you saw one
[00:10:26] of these, you know, poor migrant families, you know, father, mother, children coming over,
[00:10:33] presumably it happens, but a lot of military-fighting-age men coming over. You're disproportionately
[00:10:38] – as far as the Chinese are concerned, yes and absolutely yes. There's hardly any
[00:10:42] Chinese women coming along with them and no kids. And when you look at some of those,
[00:10:46] you do see some families wrinkling through that. But even still, we emptied out Mexico.
[00:10:50] The Mexican invitation – you know, we had such an invitation there. They emptied out
[00:10:54] whole towns in southern Mexico just to bring people into the pack and plants in Iowa.
[00:10:58] And so then – Wow. Yeah. Oh, whole towns down there of working-age men disappeared.
[00:11:05] And so – and, of course, that's my neighborhood. I live right in between two big pack and plant
[00:11:10] towns, and so we're familiar with that. And then I remember sitting in Mexico City
[00:11:15] with the Mexican government's cabinet, and I believe it was the Minister of the Interior
[00:11:21] who told me this would be about, oh, eight or nine years ago. He said, "You won't be
[00:11:27] able to get your labor out of Mexico much longer, because the Mexican birth rate has
[00:11:32] gone down now to about 2.6 babies per woman." And that's just a little above the replacement
[00:11:38] rate, but it's not the first surplus labor-producing one. Labor is going to come from
[00:11:41] elsewhere like Somalia and China. All right. Let's hold right there. Interesting point.
[00:11:46] Important point. But we have another congressman joining us right now from the state of Texas.
[00:11:52] Steve Stockman is with us. Steve and Steve now on the line, King and Stockman. And I
[00:11:56] said last night, we, at this moment, have a better contingent of United States congressmen
[00:12:02] on this program than they do in all of Washington. Steve Stockman, welcome back to the show.
[00:12:08] How are you doing tonight? Great. Steve is the king. Steve. The ubiquitous
[00:12:14] Steve Stockman. You're everywhere all the time. You show up when we don't expect you.
[00:12:19] And you've been on, hold on even knowing that Stockman was even the country. Well, you know,
[00:12:27] I'll share my, well, I don't know. I don't want to violate. You there? Go ahead. No,
[00:12:34] you go ahead. I'm just saying I knew where Steve was on a House floor because he's the
[00:12:37] guy with all the arrows on his back from Republicans. Steve Stockman, you go ahead. Yes, we're here.
[00:12:44] Do you hear me? Uh-oh. Yeah, no, go ahead. Oh, no, I just knew where Steve King was because
[00:12:52] I looked on the floor to see where all the arrows were on his back from all the Republicans
[00:12:57] taking his time. He's a true patriot. You know, buy your enemy. Anyhow, go ahead. Well, you
[00:13:07] know what, Steve, I will tell you that we were joking about this sometime here with the last
[00:13:11] day or two. And I'm not sure who was all in the conversation. Steve's cutting out. There
[00:13:16] was in my back. My staff went together and they gathered all these negative quotes they
[00:13:21] dumped on me and put them on a little poster with these, um, with the thumbnail pictures
[00:13:26] on there with the link to the quote they used to attack me. And so they handed me this poster
[00:13:31] and the title of the poster was The Unforgiven. And if you look at that poster today, they're
[00:13:38] a good number of them, bit the dust. So that would be maybe McCarthy and Liz Cheney would
[00:13:42] be part of that list. Well, I'll tell you, you both have tall tails. I mean, I say tall
[00:13:46] tails. It sounds like something that would be a tall tail, except it's all too true and
[00:13:50] all too tragic. I mean, in this, you know, well, I say especially, but both of you, I
[00:13:53] mean, Steve King, your story, the story of your trials and tribulations post 2016, 2016
[00:14:00] and on, especially. And then of course, Steve Stockman, who was in Congress before and then
[00:14:05] again, during your tenure, Steve King, and ran into hornets nest both times. But Steve,
[00:14:13] anyway, stop this is going to be difficult. Steve S and Steve K, Steve Stockman, you are
[00:14:20] down in Texas. So having you on for this particular conversation, I thought was essential and
[00:14:25] key. Some people would say you have the your ear to the ground on this, but I think the
[00:14:29] ground comes up to your ear. But on a situation like this, what is going on? What is the
[00:14:33] resolve of the people in Texas on this issue? Well, by the way, you know, we're criticized
[00:14:39] as supposing and saying we're making up the replacement there. We also said that in Tifa's
[00:14:45] faults, you know, don't believe your line eyes. But to show you that Biden doesn't like
[00:14:51] certain immigrants, I'll tell you the ones he doesn't like, he can put the common denominator.
[00:14:55] He sent back to Cubans, Nicaragua's and Venezuela's. Now, why do you think he doesn't like those
[00:15:01] guys in the country? Because they're not vote for chimism or socialism. And in Venezuela,
[00:15:07] so much they've lost so much weight from the kindness taken over. It's a nation number
[00:15:12] one in oil and number two in gold. It used to be the number one in all of the South American
[00:15:18] terms of well. They drove people so poor that they now lost about 2.2 kilos each person.
[00:15:26] On average. And we're looking at here in Houston, we're, we're inundated. It is, we're, we're
[00:15:34] full. They are inundating the, our schools, our hospitals. And now after our governor blocked
[00:15:44] everyone, we, we now have decreased the border crossing dramatically. And now the number one
[00:15:52] places are Arizona and California. I don't know if you guys are picking the up or not.
[00:15:59] Well, I'm picking you up, Steve. And now we've got a little, a little bit of confusion going
[00:16:04] on here in our makeshift studio. But we can, we can carry this on here while James is taking
[00:16:09] care of the negotiations. Okay. I'm not sure what's going to happen. Well, Steve, it is a pretty
[00:16:14] crazy thing. I'm watching facial expressions and body language here. And it looks like he reclaimed
[00:16:19] his spot at the studio, held his ground. But I've been pushed hard by about three. Go ahead.
[00:16:25] Yeah. Well, Steve, I can tell you this, you, you, on immigration have been fantastic.
[00:16:31] I don't know how much our host has heard, but we here in Texas are absolutely inundated
[00:16:38] immigrants from the purpose, illegal immigrants. And the purpose is to change the state into
[00:16:44] a Democrat state. There is no question about it. And if you change Texas to a Democrat state,
[00:16:49] by the way, Obama worked on this when I was in office years ago, and I brought up to my colleagues
[00:16:56] in my county, which is Harris, which is Houston, Obama spent $8.8 million registering Democrats.
[00:17:04] And he was, at that time, I wrote him a letter, Steve, I don't know if he wears this, but I wrote
[00:17:09] a letter complaining that he was dumping illegal immigrants into my district, including criminals.
[00:17:15] And I repeatedly asked him for explanation. Of course, you know, Obama doesn't need a congress
[00:17:21] service in it, just a phone and a pen. And what we learned about Obama, and what we learned about
[00:17:29] Obama is that he would even spout the Constitution and claim that, say, for example, he admitted 22
[00:17:36] times on video and television that it was unconstitutional for him to grant any status for the Dreamers.
[00:17:42] And he quoted the Constitution. He was right. But then he went ahead and did it anyway,
[00:17:47] even though he's clearly on record, knowing that the Dreamers were unconstitutional,
[00:17:51] and Obama was the fellow that would do what he could get away with. And he accumulated power
[00:17:57] by doing that. And one of the ways I would define power is that's whatever you can successfully
[00:18:02] assert. Otherwise, there can be rule relations, Constitution, all. But if you can successfully
[00:18:07] assert power, then then you've got that power. And Obama took it, he successfully asserted it,
[00:18:12] and he undermined the rule of law, and he set the pattern for opening the borders up.
[00:18:16] by the instant on steroids he well he's he's buying this is you know what as you
[00:18:22] i think we both agree is obama's third term and he he now learned he didn't get
[00:18:27] punished for breaking the constitution you gave him green light and now he's
[00:18:31] doing spades and uh... it's alarming that i what happened to be watching the
[00:18:36] fall of rome and the parallels of that are so alarming uh... what's going on our
[00:18:42] country where we don't have borders anymore basically rome rome lost their
[00:18:46] borders and uh... we we can't have a country without borders that's just
[00:18:51] insane
[00:18:52] and let me ask this
[00:18:55] part of the interruption steve but uh... a question to both of you before we come
[00:18:58] up on this first break we're skipping the flow to break is going to take the
[00:19:00] bottom of the hour break in just a couple of minutes uh... but legislatively
[00:19:03] speaking you let let's shift gears to this what should the
[00:19:07] house gop doing right now
[00:19:08] well i would have just held out with them and said there'll be no c_r_ there'll
[00:19:12] be no funding will have a government shutdown until such time as his borders
[00:19:16] under control and enforced and uh... i think the public would have supported
[00:19:19] that but there were too many squishy republicans that didn't hold their
[00:19:22] ground on that uh... and so that that would have been the best they could do
[00:19:26] with the tools they have today in my opinion
[00:19:28] as steve starry uh...
[00:19:30] go ahead
[00:19:31] well i have to tell you i was here for both government shutdowns i hope i
[00:19:34] take some credit for it
[00:19:36] as steve was too and and the thing is there's a myth in the caucus republican
[00:19:41] caucus and we shut the government down it takes a hit
[00:19:44] we don't think we never took it there's no proof of that we've always won our
[00:19:48] elections
[00:19:49] and rang and shut down a lot and it's just it's uh... miss nomer and it's
[00:19:54] perpetuated by the law
[00:19:56] you know what we're going to see that it reminds me
[00:19:59] it seems it reminds me of when now we were facing one of those government
[00:20:02] shutdowns i think maybe in two thousand and thirteen and john bainer is telling
[00:20:06] us all republicans always lose republicans always lose in a shutdown
[00:20:10] well dana rurbock her pointed out that they didn't lose back in the shutdown in
[00:20:14] ninety-eight and we didn't lose in the shutdown in two thousand and thirteen
[00:20:17] but bainer was adamant that we would lose and so
[00:20:20] i brought a line from mark twain when she said
[00:20:22] once a cat sits on a hot stove lid he'll never set on another hot stove lid
[00:20:27] again
[00:20:27] of course he'll never set on a cold one either
[00:20:30] ha ha ha to shake
[00:20:32] now uh... well i'll tell you what they won't lose if they
[00:20:36] go to battle on the border either we'll see what happens but
[00:20:39] uh... so much i've got so many notes so much to uncover uh... as this program
[00:20:43] continues tonight but steve uh... stock i want to ask you this
[00:20:46] what is the pulse of texas right now what is the average texas citizen
[00:20:50] thinking about this issue which is continuing i gotta admit i'm a little
[00:20:54] surprise it hasn't been resolved right now
[00:20:56] i thought i thought it would be a performative defiance by governor abbot
[00:21:02] who would say you know he fought the good fight but
[00:21:06] gotta obey the courts got to obey uh... the federal government that has not
[00:21:11] happened yet and so we're now you know nearing two weeks into this what is
[00:21:14] the
[00:21:15] what is the average texas citizen in your estimation steve stock well i i think
[00:21:19] by i i would cover this a little bit my phone cut out
[00:21:23] uh... abbot is sticking by in fact thankfully for other governance across
[00:21:27] country they're sending people down even if he nationalized our national guard
[00:21:31] is a bunch of ones here after nationalized
[00:21:33] and we'd uh... the who i say we i'm talking about the
[00:21:37] republican uh... governor has cut down the email illegal immigration so bad
[00:21:42] now
[00:21:43] excuse me we went from number one to now number three
[00:21:47] and most of the population are shifted to arizona in california in terms of
[00:21:51] crossings
[00:21:53] and we they put up as you saw the the uh...
[00:21:56] freight freight boxes and and razor wire
[00:21:59] and they just stood on the other side of the of those eraser wires and didn't
[00:22:03] come over
[00:22:04] and uh... it works and uh... and for by the same needs more power
[00:22:08] is he's just so ridiculous
[00:22:11] and work on what we're doing let's go ahead
[00:22:14] when you when you said nationalize the national guard i presume you're saying
[00:22:18] that for the president to take control of all the national guards that might
[00:22:22] otherwise be under their command of their governor's that correct
[00:22:25] correct and he would have to do each state
[00:22:28] so you know it's so
[00:22:31] but my my point is that in that
[00:22:33] if push comes to shove and the national guard also is asking the national
[00:22:37] guard in texas
[00:22:38] if push came to shove and they had to decide whether we're going to take
[00:22:41] orders from biden or from governor abbot
[00:22:43] which way would that go
[00:22:45] oh i i think that would be an interesting conversation
[00:22:48] but i think i think uh... i don't know you know to be honest with i think that
[00:22:53] we would be torn but texans are pretty independent as you know
[00:22:56] and uh... we're we're already picked off i mean there's a big movement in
[00:23:00] texas to peel off
[00:23:02] um because at one point you know we were our own country
[00:23:07] fact we had an embassy in in britain
[00:23:09] so i don't know that's a good question that'd be definitely a constitutional
[00:23:13] crisis
[00:23:14] but there is something to be said there if something like this was going to
[00:23:17] kick off again texas is the logical place for it to happen it's in the
[00:23:20] blood
[00:23:21] well we got more guns than people in fact we got a bumper sticker says if you
[00:23:25] know how many guns you have you need to go get more guns
[00:23:30] uh...
[00:23:32] uh... i would just i'll speculate this that i i think if push comes to show
[00:23:36] you're going to see the national guard stick with their governors rather than
[00:23:39] this president because this president is conducting himself
[00:23:42] in a treasonous fashion to tear up down the united states of america it's
[00:23:46] willful it's not accidental it's a willful plan
[00:23:48] and these people know it that's why there's twenty five governors it stood
[00:23:51] up and said it would be helped this is where the rubber meets the road and we're
[00:23:54] coming up on a break we got to take a break in and move locations here at the

[00:29:59] And we're back with our esteemed guests. The United States Congressmen respectively, Steve King and Steve Stockman.
[00:30:24] The King has to go walk the red carpet here in just a few minutes. No really. I'm going to be doing a red carpet interview in just a few minutes and Steve Stockman will be staying with us for the remainder of the hour.
[00:30:35] But the question I was posing gentleman before the break was, look, everybody is an armchair expert.
[00:30:42] You two actually have been members of the United States Congress. How do you see this playing out? Steve King first.
[00:30:47] Well, I'd say that I think this is going to get more and more intense. At this point, people didn't expect Governor Abbott to go this far. You thought that he was going to pull back at an end and reach some kind of an impasse.
[00:30:58] He had his chance to say, "Okay, I'm going to honor the Supreme Court." He said, "I'm not going to." And he made his constitutional points as to why. So he's dug in now.
[00:31:06] And he's dug in. He's got 25 governors that back him on this. I think the pressure goes up in Texas. And as Steve Stockman just said, it's moved the illegal immigration over in Arizona and California in New Mexico. I presume, although I didn't hear that.
[00:31:20] So he's got a real good chance to secure, reasonably secure. I have put that clause in there, reasonably secure the border between Texas and Mexico.
[00:31:29] And for me, I welcome this crisis because we've been watching this dribble go through. Not just a dribble, but I remember when I was sitting on the Judiciary Committee and a former ranking member there on another subcommittee, we had testimony from the Border Patrol.
[00:31:45] And then they said that they had brought through a million immigrants coming into the country that they'd interdicted, and I picked up 25% of them. So multiply that times 4. That was 4 million back then by their numbers, and they were lowballed.
[00:32:01] I liked what you said just then you welcome the crisis. And I know what you mean by that. Someone had just put, yes, Liz, to your question. Someone had put it, was giving a quote in an article that I'd read recently, is that they don't fear the bomb going off.
[00:32:16] They fear the bomb not going off. And by that, what we're talking about in this context is this is going to have to be a crisis that is resolved.
[00:32:25] Maintaining the status quo, leaving this an open-ended problem where you continue to continue to have the borders penetrated by an increasing number of illegal aliens.
[00:32:37] That is not a resolution. We're afraid that there won't be a resolution. This needs to be a resolution.
[00:32:42] Steve Stockman, are you surprised that Joe Biden has not nationalized the Texas Guard yet?
[00:32:52] Well, I think that they don't want that to become an issue in the campaign. They want abortion to be the issue, and they're going to try to ignore it.
[00:32:59] It'd be nationalized. It'd have every national news media down here watching for the standoff and the confrontation.
[00:33:07] So I think Joe's going to back down, or Obama's going to back down, and wait for the election to come.
[00:33:13] They only got eight months really to prove themselves. But think about this. Put this in context for a second.
[00:33:19] There's going to be more than 12 million people illegally kind of this country. That's bigger than many states, including Ohio.
[00:33:28] There's a lot of people coming across. You've got to understand 65 years that Ellis Island was open. It was 12 million people.
[00:33:37] We have more coming across in his tenure than all of Ellis Island. Let me add this to it.
[00:33:42] When Ellis Island, you came here. If you were sick with some disease, you got kicked back. If you were a communist or a Marxist, you got kicked out of here.
[00:33:50] You know, I advocate that we follow the rules of Ellis Island. And people forget it was General Eisenhower, the one that won credit with winning World War II,
[00:34:00] who did Operation Wetback, who sent back many illegal immigrants. It's not unprecedented to do that.
[00:34:06] And they've called Trump a racist for suggesting it is over the top. We need a protected country without borders or not a country.
[00:34:13] And you know, Steve, I made a trip to Ellis Island. I made the trip to Ellis Island and was guided there by some of the top national park officers that gave a terrific tour.
[00:34:26] We did immigration hearing at Ellis Island in the Great Hall. And as I sat there as ranking member of the immigration committee, as a matter of fact,
[00:34:34] that was waiting for the meeting to get started. People were filling in the seats to observe. That was after the tour.
[00:34:40] And I had an agent come to me. National Park Service fellow come to me and handed me a scroll.
[00:34:46] And I unrolled the scroll and I read it. He didn't tell me what it was. It was a ship's manifest for my grandmother.
[00:34:53] And now I know the date she came in and the ship she was in on. And now I've been able to trace it back pretty close to where she came from in Germany.
[00:35:01] But what you say is completely right. They had a hook. They pull your eyelid back to see if you had some kind of eye disease, a little white spot on your eyelid triggered that.
[00:35:10] And so they'd use the same hook on everybody to pull your eyelid back. And they were just passing your disease along to the next one.
[00:35:16] And furthermore, nobody was allowed to go on to welfare. You had to have a way to sustain yourself.
[00:35:23] And if you limp going across the Great Hall at Ellis Island, they sent you back to your home country.
[00:35:29] The people that had enough money, they got knocked down their little ways and they all had enough money to get into America, not many of them.
[00:35:35] But the ones that came on steerage like my grandmother, they were all inspected and they were physically going to be sound.
[00:35:41] They were mentally going to be sound. They were not going to have any health defects or they just shipped them back to the country.
[00:35:45] And here we are, open borders on everything and not to mention fentanyl and 110,000 dead Americans a year because of that.
[00:35:53] Well, you know, gentlemen, that's what they call progress. We also have a lot of diseases that we never had, including leprosy, is coming back.
[00:36:03] This is alarming. There's no check in that. And I have to ask you, Steve, with those 12 million people that came across, how many beat up a cop and then gave a finger to the United States?
[00:36:15] Yeah, I would say, well, that was the 12 million that came through during the Ellis Island period of time, pretty close to none.
[00:36:23] I'd say virtually none on the other side of this thing. Those that came under Biden, that would be virtually as many of them that had to win.
[00:36:30] And, you know, the welcome wagon.
[00:36:33] and then they came out and by the way the liberals meet them at the border. You're down there, you know this. And then take them aside and they say you don't have to learn our language, you don't have to absorb yourself into the American culture and civilization. You don't have to give up your culture. You can be yourself, you can replicate your country here in the United States and we'll pay you for it. That's what's going on ahead. And that's driven both of us crazy for a long time.
[00:36:54] And if you have a problem with that you're anything but a child of God. Very quickly Congressman Stockman, Congressman King is about to skip out and go do not that he's shirking his duties in any way, but he does have to go do another interview. Steve, King I wanted to give you the final word and it's great to have the reunion between the two Steve's tonight.
[00:37:13] Well, the first place I had an honor and privilege to serve with Steve Costachman in Congress and you got beat up like I got beat up. And the establishment lined up against you in the same way they lined up against me.
[00:37:23] We stood the ground, especially on the border issue, but every conservative issue that needed to have a defense, you were always there for that.
[00:37:30] And I hold you in great respect and reverence as a friend and one of the most fun things I saw any member of Congress ever do when you're apparently on the outs with the speaker of the house, you brought Ted Nugent in to be your guest at the State of the Union address.
[00:37:46] And I will never forget that looking up there at that crowd and there's Ted Nugent. Great moves Steve Stockman and I'm glad you're back in good health.
[00:37:53] You sound like they fixed all the things that might have been wrong with your kicker and I hope they kept their hands off your brain.
[00:38:01] Well Steve, I have to tell you this, you know, I always thought in my life's eyes I was a number one Congressman, but she came home after meeting years ago.
[00:38:10] She is awesome and she just told me to tell you she's larger than that and she messaged you.
[00:38:17] Well I love her back and hopefully we can get connected one of these days. We can't let the years go by and not get that to happen, Steve.
[00:38:23] Meanwhile, I'm glad that you're in the place you are in life and in the health situation I think you're now in and invest my greetings along to your wife.
[00:38:30] But I'll say, why don't you just hold that? Don't give her that hug for me. I'm gonna keep that back so I can give it to her when I see her.
[00:38:37] There you go. All right. I'm gonna check out now. All right. Thanks.
[00:38:40] Thank you. Shaking the hand of Steve King. We'll keep Steve Stockman on with us for the final segment, final 15 minutes of this hour.
[00:38:48] And thank you Steve and Steve Stockman back to you. So here we are.
[00:38:55] And I think that that was a pretty prescient analysis about them wanting to keep this from being the signature issue of this election because it's an issue that so favors Trump.
[00:39:06] But this is just one of several dominoes to fall already.
[00:39:14] We've been anticipating 2024 for months now because you knew it was gonna be just an unprecedented year with the Trump trials.
[00:39:22] Everything going on with that already unprecedented already some unrest and Yemen situation in Texas.
[00:39:28] You've got more courtroom forces with the aging Carol verdict in Trump. I mean the Supreme Court failing us here on the border issue unrest in Jordan.
[00:39:38] Let's see how quickly if and when that escalates to a wider regional war, perhaps with Iran, a lot of stuff going on.
[00:39:44] You're right. They want to keep immigration off. We'll see if the Republicans do though to make sure that it stays an issue.
[00:39:50] Well, I think they need they I agree with Steve and they're fearful of shutting the government down. But it so many even on the Democrat on the polling and Democrats, they don't like the immigration either.
[00:40:02] You have African Americans. They're furious at their jobs and programs are being taken over by illegal immigrants.
[00:40:08] You got veterans being kicked out of their own hospitals and veterans being kicked out of homes.
[00:40:13] And they're all and they just now issued new credit cards for $1,000 a month plus all expenses at hotels.
[00:40:21] If you shot the government down for this, it draw attention to it. I just don't understand the people's logic. It's pretty clear.
[00:40:28] He's focusing on the black vote and the women's vote for so he's got two issues.
[00:40:33] And immigration, if you actually made it an issue, which was, you know, on the forefront burner, you really could make up for a lot of what what the Democrats are doing.
[00:40:45] It's really angers a lot of people all across all demographics of this country.
[00:40:52] That's interesting. And it's also true. And so, where do you all right? So Biden just what lets this lie? If he's not going to press, he's not going to nationalize the guards.
[00:41:05] No, he's not going to lie. He's just going to ship them through a different state. He's not. There's no value in confronting the, I believe, and I could be wrong.
[00:41:15] But I say, I say, I mean, governor, they just ship, like I said, they shipped over. I don't know why New Mexico wasn't mentioned, but I read in a briefing that now California and Arizona have gotten all the ones that were coming to Texas.
[00:41:31] The drug cartels, or now I guess it should be called a smuggling cartel, have shifted all their focus now over to Arizona and Texas.
[00:41:41] And their numbers have dramatically increased equally by the number of ones that decreased in Texas. So your immigration problem hadn't been solved. It's just like running water.
[00:41:51] Whether it's the least resistance. That's where they're going to go. I see. So it's been redirected. The flow has been redirected. They have put, they have plugged the dam in Texas, at least to an extent.
[00:42:04] And certainly it's not immigration that net zero, but it has been rerouted to these other border states. But at the same time, when I say letting it lie, I mean, he's certainly taking a public loss here, at least in, in terms of perception.
[00:42:18] Well, you think about this. The day he starts the wars, like today on a primary, he weighed the bomb. He warned the Iranian that he's going to bomb a certain day. The Iranians moved out all their assets. He told them where he's going to bomb.
[00:42:37] So they moved out all the valuable stuff. They moved out the people and all that. Then he dropped the bombs on. This is insane. And he does it on primary day.
[00:42:45] People forget South Carolina, a Democrat party in South Carolina is primarily made up of African Americans, and it counts for like two thirds of the part, almost two thirds of the party.
[00:42:56] So if you shift that to be the first primary of the Democrat party, you pretty much excluding their former base of the Democrat party, which was for a long time working class white.
[00:43:09] It's interesting that they're doing that, and it's also interesting that no one's commenting on that. It's pretty amazing. They're talking about any democracy.
[00:43:18] They're ending it right in front of our eyes and all the cheating they're doing and lying about the laugh pop and all that, and the judges being crooked and Jack Smith, who went after me.
[00:43:28] And now after Trump, there's any democracy right in front of your eyes. It's amazing that we don't have an uprising already.
[00:43:38] We've been the frog in the proverbial boiling pot for so many decades now. This is going to be the one that gets us riled up.
[00:43:48] This is the one where the people are going to fight back and then, you know, wait, wait, wait, wait. There was actually an article in the New York Times.
[00:43:55] I believe it was the New York Times Washington Post. I mean, they're interchangeable. It was one of the two biggies. This was last fall, saying you have to defend democracy by canceling elections.
[00:44:04] You know, when Trump first came out with his leads in the polls. So I tell you what, I mean, just a ballot.
[00:44:13] I mean, they write Democrats off the ballot and refused. Here's a guy whose father was murdered, who's running for president, had people already breaking into his house, and they're refusing to give candy any kind of protection.
[00:44:28] That would have been unheard of. That should have been a huge outcry of Democrats when they didn't say a word. It's unbelievable.
[00:44:35] Yep, that's absolutely right. And all of that's in play. And I'm looking at the calendar. I'm looking at the monitor here. February the 3rd as we broadcast live.
[00:44:43] We're just a month into this year and it's really going to kick up in the summer. I mean, the closer we get to the election, there's just no telling what kind of false flags, what kind of events they'll have planned, what's going to come out naturally
[00:44:54] and manufactured, whether it be more riots, another pandemic. Who knows? It's all on the table. And this thing, though, with the border, though, was, I mean, of course, the crisis has been so long standing there.
[00:45:09] But at the same time to me, it comes as sort of a favorable reprieve to see Governor Abbott and all of these other, really, I think, what's in it?
[00:45:20] Every other Republican governor in the country was a Vermont. I believe that have shown support.
[00:45:28] But if push comes to shove, Steve, if push came to shove, if Biden did federalize, I think you don't think that he will.
[00:45:35] And maybe he won't. I thought he would have done it by now. Do you really think that they would allow?
[00:45:41] – Is it allowed us to go beyond rhetoric? That's just hard to see.
[00:45:45] No, that's why I don't think – you've got to realize this guy is the political hack
[00:45:51] he's been doing it for over 50 years. And he knows the value of Germanics and stuff.
[00:45:59] It's like he just first went for the first time he's gone to Pennsylvania or that spill.
[00:46:04] And he did it right before the primary. And it's just – everything's driven in his
[00:46:10] life by politics. And it has no moral basis. And he's corrupt. So what drives him is winning
[00:46:17] and getting power in order to get more money and things like that. It's not because his
[00:46:22] love of his country. If he loved his country, he wouldn't be doing what he's doing. He
[00:46:26] does not love his country. You can't say you want to fundamentally change something
[00:46:30] or some country. And then turn around and say you love it. You don't say you're wife.
[00:46:35] Well, I love you, honey, but I want to fundamentally change you. You should be asking, why are you
[00:46:40] marrying me? That's a good analogy. That's a fantastic analogy. Of course, I don't
[00:46:45] think – look, I mean, this is me talking – but I don't know how much agency Biden
[00:46:50] has at all. Mentally, spiritually, physically, he does what he's told to the extent that
[00:46:56] he can do anything, I think. But I just don't know what's going on upstairs with that guy.
[00:47:01] But, I mean, to say that he's a career politician who's drifted with the current and the prevailing
[00:47:09] tide on any issue at its time going back so many decades now, as you mentioned, is, you
[00:47:14] know, obviously what he's done and what he'll continue to do until God calls him
[00:47:19] home or wherever he's going to go. But, all right, so again, you're the Republicans.
[00:47:24] It looks like you've motivated your base with this. You've given them some red meat.
[00:47:28] You've given them a win for the moment. Again, I think you've got to double down. I think
[00:47:33] this is a big time winning issue for the Republicans. How do you do that? How can you
[00:47:38] do that? Let's see. The other border states, they're going to have Democratic governors
[00:47:42] down there, New Mexico and Arizona, California.
[00:47:43] Well, like I said, I think they need to shut the government down for this issue. You're
[00:47:49] going to have a dramatic thing. You don't have everybody calling and attacking you.
[00:47:53] But privately, there'll be a lot of people that will be supporting you for coming down.
[00:47:57] You just need to harp on it. The problem is Republicans don't understand the purpose
[00:48:04] of focus. You got light as it can be turned into a laser if you concentrate it. And if
[00:48:10] you concentrate the message and don't dilute it with all kinds of stuff, you can get the
[00:48:15] message through the American people and immigration is the issue to deal with. And you can hear
[00:48:22] the pain of NPR whenever that issue, they have to report it. They just, they hate reporting
[00:48:30] now, but they're forced to. Just like they hated reporting on Trump when he was running
[00:48:34] with, and now they finally got to report on Biden's victory in South Carolina as if it
[00:48:38] was any kind of a question, whether he's going to win or not, but the answer, go ahead.
[00:48:47] No, you go ahead, please. No, to answer your question, I want him to shut the government
[00:48:51] down. And by the way, I was there when we had the government in 2013 at Steve, he was
[00:48:57] referring to. And I don't know if he recalls it, but I stood up in the conference. And
[00:49:04] I said, we don't, I said, I've been missed the second shutdown. I said, I've been through
[00:49:08] it in the 90s and now. And I said, I just don't recall ever losing any seats. And he's
[00:49:14] right. The speaker wasn't happy. I said that, but it was true. We did fine. In fact,
[00:49:19] people loved it. And Reagan shut the government down many times for principles. And it only
[00:49:25] made Reagan popular. When Reagan fired the people that were, what do you call them? The
[00:49:31] airplane that all the guys that land the plane. What do you call it? What is it? Air
[00:49:38] controllers. Yeah, traffic controllers. What do you fire down the American public? Yeah,
[00:49:43] right. They loved it. They at first, you know, he was getting heavily criticized by the press.
[00:49:49] But the polling show that they liked Reagan standing up. And that's why people like Trump
[00:49:54] because he stands up. He's not like a Mitt Romney, he's constantly whining. If somebody
[00:50:03] was mentioning that before is like for the last few election cycles before the last couple
[00:50:09] of election cycles anyway before Trump, it was, you know, what were the difference between
[00:50:13] the candidates. But the, you mentioned NPR and the Democrats not liking to talk about immigration.
[00:50:21] I think that you're right about that because I mean, what could their position be and how
[00:50:24] much fervor is there in their base to defend the idea that we shouldn't have a national
[00:50:29] border? I just don't think that's a winning issue for them. Now the Democratic women get
[00:50:33] a hot and bothered about abortion because they want to murder their babies. And so that's
[00:50:36] an issue that can motivate them. I don't see the issue of immigration motivating the Democrats
[00:50:41] to get out and vote as it would our side. Whereas some of our other issues could motivate them
[00:50:47] to get out to vote. I don't know if you if you if you message this thing, right, we have
[00:50:52] a problem in the Republican Party, which I brought up numerous times and our conference
[00:50:56] is terrible messaging. I said Republicans, Democrats will show a granny being rolled off
[00:51:02] the edge of a cliff and saying Republicans are trying to take a Social Security will
[00:51:06] being killer. None of that's true, but the commercial and the video is impactful. And
[00:51:13] Republicans will respond to that ad coming out with a calculator goal. Oh, now her annual
[00:51:17] life premiums over five years shows, you know, I mean, we respond with this numbers
[00:51:23] and which is fine. But women in particular are not driven by that driven by, you know,
[00:51:30] by is anybody it's Mary knows driven more by emotional a lot of times than it is logic.
[00:51:36] And I'm not saying women aren't logic. I'm just saying a lot of times the message there
[00:51:41] needs to be more personal and not so much, you know, statistician.
[00:51:47] Well, I'll tell you what, if we had you and the other Steve still in Congress, what would
[00:51:52] you be doing right now? Well, we'd probably be hanging out.
[00:51:56] I'd tell you what Steve was just amazing guy. And when you're taking bullets like he did
[00:52:07] like I did, it's always nice to find someone that's in your corner and I was in his corner
[00:52:13] he was in my corner. And it's really because I mean, so often you're in the, you know,
[00:52:19] you're in the in the foxhole and the Republicans are also taking shots at you while you're
[00:52:25] in the foxhole. So it's nice that someone's with you behind your back of support and you
[00:52:30] don't got to worry. I actually traveled with Steve, I think to Japan and some other places
[00:52:35] and he's really knowledgeable and very smart guy. And the New York Times, I don't know
[00:52:41] why I did the interview with my teaser. I got invited to interview with the New York
[00:52:45] Times, the Daily Show, a bunch of different. I just told him no, I'm not going to give
[00:52:50] the fodder to the left, but Steve chose to do that and the New York Times just was disingenuous
[00:52:55] and liars and we're successful in distorting as he is. It was horrible.
[00:53:02] Well, I got to say, I wish both of you were still in Congress, but I think God, you know,
[00:53:06] we're both here on the radio program with me tonight. You did the Lord's work. You did
[00:53:10] your duty. And you're still fighting. You don't have to be in Washington to fight. Y'all
[00:53:14] are setting an example. And again, it would have been nice to have you there for this fight,
[00:53:20] this current fight. I know you'll would have landed on the right side of things. But again,
[00:53:24] I'm real honored to have you both on the radio tonight where you're reaching people you might
[00:53:28] not have otherwise been reaching there. So God bless you, Steve. And glad as our other
[00:53:35] Steve said, glad that you're in good health and all things going well, we've got a lot
[00:53:41] to do and a lot to accomplish this year. And I'll look forward to staying in touch with
[00:53:45] you. I know you've got a lot of ideas on that front. Let's continue to collaborate and work
[00:53:49] together. I had a lot of faith. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Great being here. Thanks so much.
[00:53:54] God bless you. Congressman Steve Stockman, everyone. There he goes down in Texas. He's on
[00:54:00] the front line of this thing down there and calling with a bird's eye view from the scene.
[00:54:05] Steve King with us earlier, we Steve King and I are at an event in Orlando, Florida tonight. We'll
[00:54:10] both be speaking at it tomorrow live broadcast from the event right now. And you hear a little
[00:54:15] bit of that background noise send me a text or an email. Carry your pitch and smoke signal if it
[00:54:22] becomes overwhelming in the background and we'll try to move. We're getting rerouted here a couple
[00:54:25] of different broadcast locations already. But we're having a good time and we're going to be
[00:54:30] joined via telephone by Peter Brimmelow of vdair.com. Next, stay tuned. The hits keep coming. It's an
[00:54:36] all-star line of tonight.
