DAGEN: JOINING US NOW, FORMER
ENERGY SECRETARY AND FORMER
TEXAS GOVERNOR RICK PERRY.
YOU TAKE IT, SEAN.
SEAN: ARE YOU SURE?
DAGEN: YES.
SEAN: SO, RICK, YOU’RE A TEXAS
GUY.
YOU SEE THE CRAZINESS AT
SOUTHERN BORDER.
WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?
>> YEAH, IT IS CRAZY, AND IT’S
BEEN THIS WAY FOR SOME TIME,
EVEN BACK IN, I THINK, 2012
UNDER THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
WE SAW THE FIRST OF THE
TRAINLOADS, LITERALLY, KIDS ON
TOP OF TRAINS, SEAN.
SEAN: YEAH.
>> THEY WERE BEING TRANSPORTED
UP HERE.
AND IT’S ONLY GOTTEN WORSE
BECAUSE THE MESSAGE IS, COME ON,
THE BORDER’S OPEN.
THIS IS A HUMANITARIAN DISASTER
OF EPIC PROPORTIONS, AND IT’S A
DISASTER FOR AMERICA BECAUSE OF
THE PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP HERE, WE
DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THERE’S A
LOT OF REALLY GOOD PEOPLE IN
THAT, OUGHT TO GO THROUGH THE
PROCESS APPROPRIATELY TO COME
INTO THE UNITED STATES.
BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
WHO DON’T HAVE AMERICA’S
INTERESTS IN MIND.
THE DRUG CARTELS ARE DRIVING
THIS.
AND ANYONE THAT DOESN’T SEE
THAT, I HEARD YOU SAY EARLIER IN
THE PROGRAM THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU
THINK THIS IS A PLAN, WELL, I’VE
COME TO BELIEVE THAT, THAT THIS
IS.
THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION THAT DON’T BELIEF
IN THE AMERICAN DREAM THAT --
BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN DREAM
THAT I BELIEVE IN, AND THEY
DON’T BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN
PRIDE AND THE THINGS THAT YOU
NEED TO DO TO TRULY BE AN
AMERICAN.
THE REASON THAT PEOPLE CAME TO
THIS COUNTRY FOR DECADES, AND
IT’S BEEN TORN APART BY AN
ADMINISTRATION FOR WHATEVER
REASON, I DON’T KNOW.
BUT IT’S WRONG, IT NEEDS TO
STOP.
AND HOPEFULLY CONGRESS CAN
REALLY WEIGH IN HERE.
YOU’VE GOT CONGRESSMAN McCALL
ON, SENIOR MEMBER IN TEXAS AND,
YOU KNOW, OTHERS ALONG THAT
BORDER WHO GET IT THAT WE NEED
TO REALLY PUT A STOP TO THIS AND
DO IT SOON.
DAGEN: GOVERNOR, WE WATCH PEOPLE
POURING ACROSS THE BORDER, AND
WE WATCH THE CITIES FILL UP.
FROM CORNER TO CORNER, THIS IS A
GREAT FINANCIAL BURDEN.
ASK AND WE ALWAYS SAY THIS WILL
BANKRUPT THE COUNTRY.
AND THEN, AND IT SEEMS LIKE A
HARD TURN TO TALK ABOUT THESE
NEW TAILPIPE EMISSION LIMITS
THAT ARE GOING TO BE PROPOSED BY
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
TOMORROW.
THIS IS A PUSH TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE NUMBER OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES
SOLD IN THIS COUNTRY WILL
SKYROCKET TO AS MUCH AS 67% IN
JUST A FEW YEARS.
BUT AGAIN, IT SEEMS FOOLISH THAT
THEY WOULD DO THIS, BUT IT’S
NOT.
IT’S BY DESIGN.
IT’S MEANT TO BANKRUPT THE
COUNTRY.
>> YEAH.
I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
A LOT OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE
MADE RIGHT HERE IN THE STATE OF
TEXAS.
BUT IT OUGHT TO BE THE MARKET
THAT DECIDES IT, NOT GOVERNMENT.
AND THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE THIS
GREAT FALLING OUT.
THIS ADMINISTRATION IS SO WED TO
THIS RADICAL, LEFTIST
ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT, THERE IS
NO STOPPING THEM.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU WILL
HEAR -- WE JUST THINK WE HAVE
HEARD ALL THE CRAZY REASONS THAT
THE WORLD IS HEATING UP OR THE
WORLD IS COOLING TO DOWN OR THE
CLIMATE IS CHANGING.
IT’S ALL FOSSIL FUELS’ FAULT, OF
COURSE.
BUT THE REAL KEY IS THESE PEOPLE
DON’T CARE ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS.
IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD CARE
ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS FLOURISHING
AND THE WAY THAT HUMAN BEINGS
FLOURISH AROUND THE WORLD IS
THROUGH THE ENGINES THAT FOSSIL
FUELS DRIVE.
AGAIN, ALEX EPSTEIN THE, I
HIGHLY REND HIS BOOK, "FOSSIL
FUTURE," AS A GREAT READ TO
EDUCATE YOURSELF.
DON’T BE LED DOWN THIS ROAD OF
THE CLIMATE IS CHANGING, IT’S
FOSSIL FUELS’ FAULT AND IF WE
DON’T STOP IT, IT’S, WE’RE BAD
PEOPLE.
THAT IS A PALSY.
A FALLACY, AND ONE THAT IN
YEARS TO COME PEOPLE WILL LOOK
BACK ON AND SAY WE WERE
COMPLETELY FED A LINE OF BULL.
SEAN: GOVERNOR, I’M SURE YOU
GUYS MAKE GREAT ELECTRIC CARS
IN, THE, BUT I THINK MOST OF US
WANT THAT GREAT TEXAS OIL.
THAT’S WHAT WE WANT IN OUR
GAS-GUZZLING CARS THAT HAVE A
REV TO THEIR ENGINES.
DAGEN: IT’S NOT WHERE THE CAR IS
ASSEMBLED, IT’S WHERE THE --
SEAN: BATTERY COMES FROM?
DAGEN: -- YEAH, THE BATTERY
COMES FROM AND CHILDREN IN THE
CONGO WHO ARE MINING THE COBALT.
THAT’S WHAT BOTHERS ME.
AND THE DEPENDENCE, AGAIN, THAT
WE’RE DOING THIS AND CHINA DOES
NOTHING WHEN WE SHOULD BE USING
OUR FOSSIL FUEL, OUR PLENTIFUL
FOSSIL FUEL NOT ONLY TO RAISE
OUR STANDARD OF LIVING, BUT USE
IT AS A WEAPON AGAINST NATIONS
THAT HATE US.
SEAN: A LITTLE PUSHBACK,
GOVERNOR.
TEN SECONDS.
>> YEAH.
WELL, YOU KNOW, DAGEN, THE POINT
WITH -- IS WE’VE GOT PLENTY OF
RARE EARTH MIN WALLS HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
THIS ADMINISTRATION, THEY DON’T
