01:03

caught on camera we just showed part of

01:05

it what what can you tell us about it at

01:07

the center of the Border battle is Texas

01:09

governor Greg Abbott repeatedly taking

01:12

on the Biden Administration which he

01:14

says caused the crisis there's a number

01:16

one issue in America and that's securing

01:18

the Border it's an issue on which uh he

01:21

has failed we spoke with him late today

01:24

in Austin on a scale of 1 to 10 how

01:26

would you rate President Biden State of

01:28

the Union Address I'll give it an for

01:30

failure the governor fiercely opposes

01:32

01:36

Republicans for killing we can fight

01:39

about fixing the Border or we can fix

01:42

it Governor when did compromise become a

01:45

dirty word so compromise should be

01:48

effective the house has passed an

01:51

effective border security plan if if if

01:54

Joe Biden really believes in compromise

01:56

he would work with the house chamber and

01:58

work with the Republicans in the Senate

02:00

why not pass that bill now because the

02:03

the Senate bill codifies so what Donald

02:07

Trump supports doing is actually

02:08

enforcing the laws of the United States

02:10

of America that already exist that Joe

02:12

Biden could enforce if he wanted to but

02:13

he's not doing it and what president

02:15

Trump will do uh is even more than what

02:18

he did during his first term in office

02:20

and that is he will use every tool

02:22

available to him to one actually secure

02:25

the Border two to deny illegal entry

02:28

three to send back illegal immigration

02:31

and actually promotes even more illegal

02:33

immigration Governor Abbott has grabbed

02:35

headlines with controversial moves

02:37

including busing migrants to

02:39

democrat-led cities to relieve

02:41

overcrowded border Towns now he's

02:43

forging ahead with court battles over

02:45

buoys in the real grand razor wire and

02:48

Eagle Pass and the new law which would

02:50

allow local police to arrest migrants

02:52

for entering Texas illegally a judge

02:54

recently wrote surges in Immigration do

02:57

not constitute an invasion isn't that

02:59

word Invasion dangerous Governor so the

03:02

the word Invasion to countries those who

03:04

came across illegally and then four by

03:07

doing so establish a legal Asylum and

03:09

immigration process as opposed to the uh

03:12

storming the the gates uh that exist

03:15

right now especially by people who are

03:17

criminals by people who are known

03:18

terrorists we are dealing with

03:20

extraordinary dangers today that have

03:22

never existed in this country before

03:23

with known terrorists coming across our

03:25

border and and Joe Biden is doing

03:28

absolutely nothing about it Donald Trump

03:30

will change all of that and restore

03:33

normaly to our immigration process okay

03:35

first a couple things um thank you for

03:37

that answer but one thing you you you

03:39

paint this incredibly dark picture of

03:42

the people that are coming Governor

03:43

Abbott thank you so much for joining us

03:45

here we really appreciate your time uh I

03:47

know we don't have a lot of time so I'll

03:48

jump right in on a scale of 1 to 10 how

03:51

would you rate President Biden State of

03:52

the Union Address I give it an F for

03:54

failure the thing about this concept and

03:56

that is clearly National

04:00

and in every single state there's a

04:02

number one issue in America and that's

04:04

securing the Border it's an issue on

04:07

which uh he has failed and he waited 40

04:10

minutes to even bring it up and when he

04:13

brought it up he he provided no

04:15

Solutions whatsoever and hardly any

04:17

empathy whatsoever uh he gave a slap in

04:21

the face to an overwhelming majority of

04:23

Americans including even Democrats who

04:25

say do something about the border and he

04:28

is doing nothing about the border now

04:30

Governor he did bring up this bipartisan

04:32

border security bill which you and House

04:34

Republicans many House Republicans have

04:37

opposed um why did you oppose it and

04:41

Governor when did compromise become a

04:43

dirty word yeah what's even more

04:44

shocking there is this is one of the

04:45

only times on record that they've

04:48

actually been able to apprehend the

04:49

person responsible for committing those

04:52

crimes and Lon rattly he has lived along

04:54

the Rio Grand for around 20 years this

04:56

is just outside of langre in Terrell

04:59

County now Lon rattley he gets an alert

05:01

on his phone because he's away from his

05:03

home he looks down there's a man walking

05:05

around inside of his living room Lon

05:07

rattley is a retired Air Force Colonel

05:10

and he says that this situation that he

05:13

kind of encountered here was really

05:15

shocking to see he was really frustrated

05:17

too because he had no way of doing

05:19

anything so what he did here in this

05:21

situation this individual he broke

05:23

through one of the lower Windows using a

05:25

sledgehammer you can kind of see the

05:26

curtains move there and then you can see

05:28

that individual in the home so he

05:30

actually broke into that house and then

05:32

Border Patrol was luckily very close by

05:35

now this is very rare this county is so

05:38

vast and it is not likely that border

05:40

patrol would ever be nearby but they

05:42

were they were at a ranch near uh the

05:44

ratley house and it was about 20 minutes

05:46

they showed up they walk around outside

05:49

they see the damage then they go inside

05:51

that gentleman kind of puts his hands up

05:52

he's on the phone with someone and what

05:54

was interesting here too is lon rattley

05:56

tells us that that individual from

05:58

Mexico he's in his 20s he was apparently

06:01

looking for a phone he claimed that he

06:03

saw a phone in that house and that's why

06:04

he was trying to get in there Lon says

06:06

there was no phone in that house the

06:08

individual himself had a cell phone and

06:10

was on it talking with someone when

06:11

border patrol arrived so they are

06:13

working on investigating this right now

06:15

Connell they're trying to figure out who

06:16

this man is why he was in there what he

06:18

wanted because Lon said there really is

06:20

nothing to take in that house uh Lon is

06:23

pressing charges right now that

06:24

individual he didn't go to border patrol

06:26

instead he got turned over to Terrell

06:28

County Sheriff dad Cleveland he is

06:30

sitting in the jail right now facing

06:32

multiple charges including charges for

06:34

criminal mischief Connell it's crazy

06:36

video um as you say Ally but you know

06:39

when you speak to people you mentioned

06:40

the sheriff for example um what do they

06:42

tell you about the data overall have

06:44

they seen an increase in in in brickin

06:46

you need to update yourself about what

06:48

actually is going on in the Border

06:50

because the as the governor of Texas I

06:52

deal with this every single day and

06:55

there was a time like with my wife's

06:57

family who is Hispanic where people

06:59

people came across the border and became

07:01

citizens or maybe your family which I'm

07:04

unfamiliar with but what's happening

07:05

today is very different than what

07:08

happened with your family or Generations

07:10

before the people who know that the best

07:12

are the people who did immigrate here

07:14

legally who are very angry about the

07:17

people who try to come across the border

07:19

illegally but also I know this because

07:21

of my work both with the Texas

07:23

Department of Public Safety and with the

07:24

Texas National Guard the Texas

07:27

Department of Public Safety is arrested

07:29

ing people who are on the terrorist

07:31

watch list they are arresting people who

07:32

are wanted for murder they're arresting

07:34

people who came to Texas and committed

07:36

murder there were was a murder that took

07:38

place in Washington state today there

07:40

was the murder of of the uh student in

07:42

at the University of Georgia uh there

07:44

was been assaults across the entire

07:46

country not a day goes by without an

07:48

American being assaulted it seems by

07:50

somebody who came across the border

07:52

illegally with Joe Biden's permission

07:54

and that's why this is the number one

07:56

issue in America think about this why

07:57

are Americans so up in arm about this

07:59

issue and why is it the number one issue

08:01

because of the catastrophe caused by Joe

08:04

Biden so compromise should be effective

08:09

and it should start with a bill that's

08:11

actually passed one of the chambers of

08:13

the United States of America the the

08:15

house has passed an effective border

08:18

security plan if if if Joe Biden really

08:21

believes in compromise he would work

08:23

with the house chamber and work with the

08:25

house speaker and say this is a program

08:27

we'll begin to work with and pass a

08:29

border Bill remember this what was going

08:32

on in the Senate was not a border bill

08:34

it was a Ukraine funding bill that has

08:37

some border issues attached to it and

08:39

know this what was attached to it it

08:42

didn't secure the Border it codified

08:44

illegal immigration but it did have

08:46

support from Senate Republicans who

08:48

worked on this bill and even the border

08:51

patrol Union had endorsed the bill

08:52

calling it a step in the right direction

08:54

and far better than the status quo to to

08:57

be clear uh and Brandon Jud uh the

09:00

president of the border patrol Union was

09:02

talking about this after the State of

09:04

the Union last night talking about what

09:06

Joe Biden was talking about was an

09:08

abject failure as it concerned actually

09:10

securing the Border no no no question

09:13

the it seems that youed there saying it

09:15

seems every day somebody's being

09:16

murdered it's doing a lot of work but I

09:18

I want to talk about a word that you use

09:20

a lot to describe what's happening at

09:23

the border and as I say you're the

09:24

responsible public official for so much

09:26

of that border you call it an invasion

09:28

last a federal judge appointed by Ronald

09:31

Reagan said surges and immigration do

09:33

not constitute an invasion under the

09:35

Constitution James Madison himself said

09:37

that uh invasion is an operation of War

09:40

a military operation and I want to get

09:43

to the effect of that kind of rhetoric

09:45

in your state the white gunman who

09:47

killed 23 people in El Paso Hispanic

09:49

people cited this Invasion idea as a

09:53

motive don't you think that a it's wrong

09:55

as a matter of law to say that the

09:57

United States is being invaded by people

09:59

walking across the border unarmed and

10:01

that this is inflammatory and people get

10:03

hurt by it is the word that is used in

10:05

the United States Constitution these are

10:07

people who are coming across the border

10:10

in violation of federal law in in the

10:13

state of Texas meanwhile the White House

10:15

has slammed many of his actions here in

10:17

Texas as political stunts yeah so

10:20

actually there's some stats here that

10:21

sheriff that Cleveland gave us he says

10:23

that there has been a

10:25

48% increase in crime in his County from

10:28

20 20 to 2023 now he attributes that to

10:32

the increase in activity in the area

10:34

they see a lot of people who are trying

10:36

to evade out there again this is a very

10:38

remote area this is not like Eagle Pass

10:41

this is not like what you see where

10:42

people are selfs surrendering these

10:44

people are walking for miles in rough

10:46

terrain and then they come across these

10:48

Ranch houses that are pretty isolated so

10:50

it's pretty scary out there and what

10:51

else that makes this really unique is I

10:53

said it's the first time that they've

10:55

ever caught somebody yes that is unique

10:57

but also this is happening in part

10:59

because some of the people living out

11:00

there they split their time in other

11:02

places like they they don't even know

11:04

that these crimes are happening for days

11:06

or even weeks out so they're not even

11:08

going reported a lot of times they they

11:10

can't get there in time because it's

11:11

been days since these homes were broken

11:13

into now another scenario that the

11:15

sheriff says is playing out regularly

11:17

out there is because it's so remote and

11:19

the terrain is so rough it's very rare

11:21

that law enforcement can actually

11:23

respond take a listen to what the

11:24

sheriff had to say there what what

11:26

Brandon Jud the head of the border of

11:28

Patrol Council said is that they they

11:31

compromised solely to get more uh

11:34

officers who are border patrol agents

11:36

who could help them actually secure the

11:38

Border well exactly so the border patrol

11:40

Union saying that it would get them more

11:42

than 100 border patrol office 100

11:44

immigration judges isn't that better

11:46

than nothing so what you just said is

11:48

nothing more than a false narrative and

11:50

a piece of fiction and I'll tell you why

11:52

and and that's because the way Joe Biden

11:55

uses the border patrol the way Joe Biden

11:57

uses ice is not to enforce the laws of

12:00

the United States of America he uses the

12:02

border patrol and Ice to actually

12:04

violate the laws of the United States of

12:06

America there are laws on the books

12:08

right now that enforce immigration in

12:11

the United States that Joe Biden not

12:13

only is not enforcing he's actually

12:15

violating laws passed by Congress that

12:18

requires the president to take action

12:20

that he is not taking we'll get to some

12:22

of those actions that I know you have

12:24

been fighting in court quite a bit but I

12:27

also want to bring up look you probably

12:29

have been among the people across this

12:32

country that are most responsible for

12:35

the Democratic party and the white house

12:37

moving to the right on immigration it

12:39

wasn't too long ago the Democrats

12:41

wouldn't call this a crisis now they are

12:43

that controversial decision to bust

12:45

migrants to Democrat L cities across the

12:47

country the White House called that a

12:49

political stunt so first of all let's

12:52

talk about the the the time progression

12:54

of Democrats because it wasn't too long

12:56

ago when Bill Clinton gave a state of

12:58

the Union address where he talked about

13:00

actually doing something about border

13:02

security that and even Barack Obama

13:05

talked about doing something about

13:07

border security the only person who's

13:09

ever talked about not enforcing the

13:12

Border laws is Joe Biden and that's only

13:15

been recent only in the past three

13:17

years now to to be clear what James

13:19

Madison said during the the ratification

13:22

conventions the one that took place in

13:25

Virginia uh Madison made clear to the

13:27

Virginia convention

13:29

that Smugglers off the coast of Virginia

13:32

at that time could be attacked or

13:34

defended against by the militia Virginia

13:37

what Texas is dealing with are Smugglers

13:39

here the cartels so the point is that

13:42

Texas is dealing with cartels who are

13:44

smuggling people across our border just

13:46

as Madison was talking about how

13:47

Virginia was dealing with Smugglers off

13:50

the shore of Virginia the similarities

13:52

are are very very close and hence what

13:55

Madison was talking about about the

13:57

invasion is exactly about what we're

13:59

dealing with here in the state of Texas

14:01

which is exactly why I am using that

14:03

language contained in the United States

14:05

Constitution that authorizes states to

14:08

use their militia as James Madison said

14:10

we could to defend ourselves from an

14:12

evasion when the federal government

14:14

refuses to do so which which is it is

14:16

refusing to do so federal judge has

14:18

already said that it's not an invasion

14:20

under the Constitution my my

14:21

question harm that kind of language can

14:25

do three years ago before Joe Biden took

14:28

off office he inherited an office that

14:30

had led to the lowest illegal border

14:33

crossings in something like 40 years all

14:36

Joe Biden had to do was to leave in

14:37

place the policies that he inherited and

14:40

we would have a far more secure border

14:41

today and because everything's bigger in

14:43

Texas I know there are a lot of legal

14:45

challenges here a lot of big lwuit that

14:47

you have you are taking on the federal

14:49

government because of buoys on the real

14:51

grand razor wire in Eagle Pass and also

14:54

sp4 this controversial law that would

14:56

allow police officers in Texas to arrest

14:59

migrants who entered the state illegally

15:01

shouldn't immigration be up to the F

15:03

shouldn't immigration enforcement be up

15:05

to the federal government first let's

15:07

clarify your terms uh you you mentioned

15:09

the federal government a lot of people

15:11

think of the federal government uh as

15:13

the president and has his administration

15:16

what the Constitution does it gives the

15:18

authority to congress not the president

15:20

not his administration not the state uh

15:23

it does however to the state in Article

15:25

1 Section 10 Clause 3 it gives auth to

15:29

states to be able to act uh when the

15:31

federal government refuses to act and

15:34

James Madison made that perfectly clear

15:36

during the ratification process that

15:38

states do have the power to use their

15:40

militia uh to push back against

15:43

Smugglers which is what was happening in

15:45

Virginia uh and apply that to Texas

15:48

we're pushing back against Smugglers

15:50

here in the very same way that James

15:52

Madison was talking about in

15:54

Virginia as you can see here um very

15:57

little infrastructure that's that's why

15:58

we don't see the great numbers that you

15:59

do in other locations because there's

16:01

not enough infrastructure to get a lot

16:02

of people out nor get them out of the

16:04

area the hardest thing I can ever do as

16:06

a patrol agent charger or sheriff is

16:07

when someone calls me and say lawn I

16:09

don't have anybody to send or I can't

16:11

respond right now and not just to lawn

16:13

but many of our land owners and that

16:14

happens a lot because at times we're

16:15

overwhelmed by the amount of people

16:17

crossing the border here in turle County

16:19

so Sheriff Cleveland he served our

16:21

nation he's also a former border patrol

16:23

he knows exactly what's going on at that

16:25

scene down there now when it comes to

16:27

the individuals who live in Terrell

16:29

County Sheriff Cleveland tells me what's

16:30

really interesting here Connell is a lot

16:32

of them leave their doors and their

16:33

Windows unlocked they leave food and

16:34

water out because they know that

16:36

individuals are likely going to show up

16:37

at their house and they would rather

16:39

just take it and leave than break in and

16:41

that's exactly what happened here last

16:43

night so we just got some exclusive

16:44

reporting from Sheriff Cleveland that

16:46

three Mexican Nationals actually

16:48

attempted to break into a barn in Terell

16:50

County uh because they had been walking

16:52

for 20 miles to get from that from

16:54

Mexico into where they had gotten and

16:56

they were looking for food and water so

16:58

there are whole all over in this Barn

16:59

where they were trying to break in and

17:01

the the homeowners there they're not

17:03

pressing charges because they had

17:04

Sympathy for the situation that these

17:06

individuals had walked so far and

17:08

they're just looking for food and water

17:09

so they're not going to press charges

17:10

but they were turned over to border

17:12

patrol and Sheriff Cleveland says with

17:14

those individuals they will be returned

17:15

to Mexico Connell crazy stuff Ali

17:17

Bradley live tonight in Del Rio Texas

17:19

all right uh thank you Al thank you sure

17:21

I meant to clarify you on that so anyway

17:23

that that federal judge the the fifth

17:25

circuit federal court of appeals has put

17:27

a stay on that one single federal

17:29

judge's ruling and the the F uh fifth

17:32

circuit federal court of appeals is

17:34

going to be taken it up and the the

17:36

verbiage is not intended uh to to uh ril

17:39

up people to commit crimes Texas let me

17:41

be clear about this Texas is a Law and

17:44

Order State and we will go after anybody

17:48

who harms anybody else if if you're an

17:50

American citizen and you come to the

17:51

state of Texas to try to harm somebody

17:53

we will arrest you and put you in jail

17:55

same thing goes for any of our fellow

17:57

Texans all right

18:00

one more quick question run out of time

18:02

here on another subject a lot of

18:03

attention to Alabama Supreme Court

18:05

decision conserving concerning IVF you

18:07

describe yourself as a pro-life uh

18:09

Governor does Life Begin a conception

18:11

for you and our fertilized embryos in

18:13

those clinics human beings across the

18:15

border you know you're the governor of

18:17

Texas that the vast majority of people

18:20

are not terrorists they aren't they

18:22

aren't criminals and Thugs and rapists

18:25

sure it's a large group of people so

18:26

they're going to be some bad people but

18:27

aren't most of them basically like like

18:29

my ancestors or my mother-in-law who

18:31

came from Indonesia for a better life

18:33

not lawfully and that's the issue the

18:35

policy issue but why paint such a broad

18:38

brush targeting all these people as evil

18:41

and and and and deranged so what what

18:45

Texas has done in our law uh and a law

18:48

that I actually signed uh it Exempted uh

18:51

fertilized embryos uh from the abortion

18:53

laws in the state of Texas but more

18:55

importantly here uh is the statement

18:57

that President Trump put out uh and that

18:59

was one that supports uh initro

19:01

fertilization and it's a position that's

19:04

supported by majority of Americans all

19:06

right Governor Greg avot of Texas we

19:08

thank you for being with us thanks very

19:10

much good luck oh and uh and we

19:13

appreciate you being here and I should

19:15

just ask H how does the uh how does the

19:17

lieutenant Governor's race look there

19:19

caught on camera migrant breaks into

19:21

Texas ranch varus reports in the rugged

19:24

his along the Rio Grande in Texas a

19:26

retired US Air Force

19:29

R documented a Breakin at his modest

19:31

home revealing the harsh reality of

19:34

frequent break-ins in the region where

19:37

people enter the country the video

19:39

captured by R surveillance cameras shows

19:42

a man using a s Hammer to break a window

19:45

and walking through the house despite

19:47

having a of value in his home R here

19:50

feeling a sense of helplessness AED the

19:53

US border patrol leading to a rare

19:56

arrest of the Intruder described as a

19:57

mexic National in his 20s the incident

20:01

highlights the challenges faced by

20:03

homeowners often part-time residents who

20:06

can be overwhelmed by Breakin and

20:07

struggle to report them promptly Sheriff

20:10

Tad kand notes that apprehending

20:13

Intruders is rare due to the remote

20:15

locations of many homes emphasizing the

20:17
