to be very specific, the national guard is the national guard, as we would envision it today.so it's people that are volunteer military forces and historically, the national guards were used for strike breaking. the miners were also refer to them as the court of state militia. and the reason they call them the cadre state militia is kind of a coking at them, saying you're not really in the army, you're just a militia that you've raised of yourselves. okay. so this the strike will happen. the governor of the state of colorado, governor ammons, he sides with the national guard, with a company. the company in denver. they will tell other denver businessmen, hey, you don't really want to support the strikers because if they're strikes in the coalfields of southern colorado, this could extend throughout the rest of the nation. and this could affect you negatively. so the governor of the state of colorado, ammons, actually puts together what he'll call insurrection bonds. and you have a group of denver businessmen that will pay to fund the national guard. so it very clearly becomes

, this national guard carries out the orders of the governor of the state, not the president of united states, it is a federal state, when at one time president george bush wanted to introduce the national guard federal to new orleans to prevent, and i apologize to the army weapons. forces to prevent problems after the flood, which was huge there, he waited a long time for the approval of the governor of the state, when the governor of the state finally agreed, the mayor of new orleans replied to the president of the united states that she does not allow to start as a military parts and they did not enter en masse , what president bush was able to do, is to introduce to the military without the right to use weapons, without weapons at all, this is the united states, it looks like this, something unreal for ukraine, not this, because we are not a federal state , it's absolutely normal, why should we... live like this, we don't have federal lands, and the states are not just a federation, it's a union of states united into one, although the national guard, as you understand, durin

, uh, this national guard carries out the orders of the governor of the state, no the presidentthe united states, it's a federal state, when at one time president george bush wanted to bring the federal national guard into new orleans to prevent, excuse me, the army, the armed forces to prevent... the post-flood problems that were there huge, he waited a long time for the approval of the state governor, when the state governor finally agreed, the mayor of new orleans told the president of the united states that she did not allow the establishment. military unit and they did not enter en masse, what was president bush able to do, is to introduce the military there without the right to use weapons and without weapons at all, this is the united states, it looks like something unreal for ukraine, but because we are not a federal state, it is absolutely normal , why don't we we should live like this, we don't have federal lands and states - it's not easy the federation is a union of states united into one , although the national guard, as you understand , during the flood of the new

national guard of the state of texas shall obey the president of the united states. the last time it happened was in 1957, when president dwight d. dwight d. eisenhower took over. i think the national guard, i 'll even try to check it now, i think it was in the state of iowa, if i'm not mistaken, i read it here too, so what were the circumstances, those were the circumstances, there allowed black students, it's a famous story, to go to a white school for the first time, uh, the national guard of this state wouldn't allow it, they wouldn't let them go there. to enter into the order of the governor of the state, and then the president of the united states, deutizenhower, announced the federalization of the national guard in that state, so that it could not follow the orders of the governor, and thus these students were able to go to their place of study, this is a dramatic story, about which films are made was filmed, there was no more of this, here is the next one, now it is impossible to say what it is such a serious crisis, uh, for president biden to ... take such a

this applies to a variety of areas of work of the national guard troops, including the special zone. the required specialty is independently mastered by graduates of various faculties and institutes of the russian guard. let us emphasize that everything the artillerymen of the national guard troops, from the rank-and-file to the battery commanders, train very diligently, act skillfully in a coordinated manner, and courageously carry out combat missions in the northern military district zone. and yet it is obvious that in order to train career officers of the national guard, we need our own command artillery department. artillery is not an easy science, and it needs to be studied systematically at a military university. there you can initially lay the foundation for training, basic knowledge, which will subsequently eliminate the possibility of mistakes when performing fire tasks. last year, a meeting of the leadership of the russian guard took place, where a decision was made on the need to create an artillery department for our troops. the specifics of the tasks performed, the featur

the governor of the state of colorado sides with the national guard the company. tell other businesses you don't want to support strikers because this could extend through the rest on the nation and could affect you negatively so they actually put together what they call insurrection bonds and you have a group of businessmen that will pay so it very clearly becomes the word where you have the minors and the national guard that identifies themselves and then the company getting businessmen to support their costs. questions? in january you have mother jones or mary harris who is well-known well knownas a union agitator. she will come in and people talk about she had a filthy her mouth then the men and would basically tell them are you cowards, are you willing to fightyo for your rights? she gets imprisoned in january 1914 and a group of a thousand women wil march the streets of trinidad. as they are marching the streets the national guard is present and of the leader at one point falls off his horse and the women turned to him and started laughing at him. he gets on

dwight eisenhower subjugated the national guard.hink i 'll even try to check it now, i think it was in the state. iowa, if i'm not mistaken, i read it here too , so what were the circumstances, what were the circumstances, they allowed black students there, it's a famous story, the first time to go to a white school, uh, the national guard of this state didn't allowed, she did not let them enter there, on the order of the governor of the state, and then the president of the united states, dwight eisenhower. announced the federalization of the national guard in this state so that it could not carry out the orders of the governor, and thus these students could go to their place of study, this is a dramatic story, feature films were made about it, there was no more of this, here are the following, now you can't to say that this is such a serious crisis, uh, for president biden to take such an unprecedented step, the more he seeks an agreement with republicans on immigration policy, but even if ... imagine the most dramatic, president b

national guards. whatever they want.oment, the former president last week accused nikki haley with former house speaker nancy pelosi who was at the capitol building on january 6. haley pounced on that calling again for competency tests for candidates over 75. here's what the former president said about that when i talked to him in new hampshire as well. watch this. >> well, i think i'm a lot sharper than her. i would sit down and taking an aptitude test. it's my result against hers. she won't come close to winning. >> martha: so you get the feel for where that whole debate is going and how much it might play in to the campaign going forward. now nancy pelosi came out and she accused former president trump of having cognitive disorders. but she had her own when she made the comment about this. can't make this up. watch? >> he tried to say that nikki haley did not allow the national guard to come. but it was nancy pelosi. it wasn't nobody. it was joe -- it was donald trump. >> martha: it was joe. then it was donald trump.

the national guard never fired rubber bullets or tear gas. they stood their posts very bravely and in a quite disciplined manner defending the federal buildings. standing guard there. it was actually the police who moved into to lafayette square that afternoon. >> it was a strange moment, obviously, to see whether they were military vehicles or national guard vehicles. to laymen, that's kind of indistinguishable. i want to ask you about something -- >> i'd like to jump in. it was very troubling for me, too. that came out in the days following. we had fo photos, videos of people with camouflage on. a number of steps came out that we wanted to correct and one of the things i recall approaching bill barr about later was to say look, your people can't wear camouflage uniforms or gray uniforms. it confuses the american public. same was true for dhs. i was concerned with there being confusion in the peoples' minds. my view was i had an obligation to maintain that simple military relationship. a responsible one where the american people trust the uni

the texas national guard has been ordered to keep federal border guards out.te governor greg abate, in an interview with tucker carlson, said that he was ready for conflict with washington. according to him, texas supported by 10 more states that sent the national guard to the border, and before that , the governors of 26 states signed a joint statement on the right to protect their borders from migrants. the trigger was the decision of the supreme court, which... biden ordered the removal of barbed wire from a section of the border, about 4 km along the rio granda river, where illegal immigrants enter the united states. elizaveta khramtsova found out what the confrontation between individual states and the biden administration in washington is leading to. a problem that has been simmering on the us southern border for decades. 9 months before the presidential election, it turns into a confrontation between the state leadership and the federal government. in texas, without waiting for decisive action from washington in the fight against illegal migrants, the n

the texas national guard.merican people can see what's happening because they see the illegal migrants being shipped off into housing facilities in chicago, in airports, like in boston. in new york, where we've been, sean. where we showed you right over at floyd field where over 2,000 migrants are being housed, and they can see the extreme nature of this situation where, right here, even at eagle pass, they have had people coming from, these are called special interest aliens. people from iraq. people from syria. people from pakistan. >> sean: crazy. >> that haven't been properly vetted and from all over the world. >> yes, it's absolutely insane. what's so incredible -- yes. >> sean: go ahead, finish your thought. what's so incredible? >> what i want to make clear is that what's so incredible is our border patrol, our national guard, our texas dps, even on the local level here in the county, the police officers that are working here in texas, they are working together, and they know that this is working. that'

was that saying that the federal government could seize the texas national guard or stop the texas national guard? i missed that point. >> someone asked if the president would federalize the guard, and kirby's answer, he did not say no he said, don't have any decisions with respect to that, and to speak for the president, he does not have anything on that. but, down there the texas national guard guys, their orders to layout razor wire, to keep people out of the u.s., they are next to the cvp officers whose orders tor cut the wire -- to cut the wire if there is something they need to get on other side, somethings that to give, there are democrat in congress who want president biden to take over texas national guard, they will spend a lot of time before the supreme court over the next kim w couple weeks, it seems. larry: fabulous, peter doocy, appreciate it, right back to the illegal immigration catastrophe with super star panel, tammy bruce, liz peek, caroline downey in a moment but first, i want to spike for a-- speak for a second on president biden selling bidenomics in wisconsin, yes, i'

and basically try to use the national guard and take the national guard away from texas to this case regimen from abbot. one thing that's already been done is the services retaliation. you know that that gets a subjective but by the, by the ministration is as busy blocked currently or for the cause on like with natural gas exports, which affects texas. so you can start seeing what the economic reprisal, the federal se, that national guard would be. another escalation that out of would have to respond to that. but yeah, i mean, the last thing you want to see something, you know, escalating it like a confrontation, you know? yeah. you don't want to see obviously physical conflict. but there is definitely a, it's like a spiritual battle, you know, kind of one of these issues and america, like, like the 2nd amendment. you know, this question around. well, they said, you know, who was, if the gods, the us government is not going to police the border and texas says, hey, it's our border and we're going to, you know, we're gonna, police goes to our stage, right. you know, don't they have th

busy our national guard, but we also would be willing to do the florida state guard. and the reason why you would want to do the state guard is because the fed at the president would not be able to federal lies the state guard. now we spoke with the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity. dido mock adams, and he laid out how the 2 main contenders down they had all the presidential election. he's certainly demonstrating strengths, whether by the ministration has demonstrated weakness. it is playing into trumps hands as well as he tries to contrast himself and that you look at his rallies or thousands of people attend. and he's very vibrant as opposed to president biden, where it's difficult for him to get a sentence out without stepping on his feet. you have a lot of frustration in the united states. you have, you cannot make problems. you have a, a, an aggressive bite and one policy that is costing americans billions of dollars and uh, its reputation overseas. so i think a lot of americans are seeing the failure of dividing ministration

we've had guard, we may do more national guard. but we also would be willing to do the florida state guard. and the reason why you would want to do the state guard is because the fed at the president would not be able to federal lies. the state guard, the show of support comes as pets. as mobilizes considerable, we're still says out the us, mexico, puerto governor albert accused the bye to ministration of failing to fulfill its constitutional duties to protect the nation. and ton, washington state functions is legal and dom onto that seems a thoughts occasional patients. but the deadline of the cool has already expired to cape in 24 hours. the white house folks passed and said people are paying electrical gates. we will not shy away from calling out what we see is political games from the governor because it is not safe, it does not protect our communities. it's not, it doesn't help border patrol to do their jobs. so we will continue to call that out. that's not gonna hold us back. meanwhile, present by didn't housing coverage congr

the texas national guard will continue, quote: keep the line in iglepas and will not retreat.ts making up reasons not to follow federal laws when we no longer have state laws. lt. gen. dan patrick traveled to eaglepas, where he criticized the biden administration over the migrant invasion. i would say to president biden: you say you want to secure the border, so prove it and get out of our way, you. it shouldn't be, but the president says the federal government controls the border, not the state. directly senators are currently discussing a plan to secure the border and plans to unveil it on capitalist hill next week. president biden argues that the deal would give him emergency powers to close the border. the immigration deal crafted by sens. chuck schumer and james langford was stillborn from the start as house republicans abandoned what they called just another bill. joe biden is threatening our state's sovereignty, and if he actually federalizes the texas national guard, it would be unprecedented, it would effectively activate the federal guard and be a direct order to the

who is the national guard? each other, what will happen next? i think he will try to reassign this national guard to himself, right? it's impossible, impossible, yeah. well, in general, a very, very big, beautiful story is unfolding, how it will end, we’ll find out after the advertisements, we’ll come back. says showing the first pavilion of mosfilm. musfilm celebrated its centenary. i would like to sincerely congratulate all mosfilm members. the main people, the main film studios in russia. without them it is impossible to imagine the history of the world cinematic history of the country. on friday on rtr. now, if you come to my house, the first thing you will see is a door scratched by dogs, he could become a zoologist or an athlete, we took the gto standards for 30 - 34 years. we can contract, as a taster , i always like to eat a lot, or as a rescuer, but he is a doctor that everyone needs, treatment should not be self-medication, you need to see a specialist, dr. myasnikov, every saturday on rtr, annushka h

we've had guard, we may do more national guard. but we also would be willing to do the florida state guard. and the reason why you would want to do the state guard is because the fed at the president would not be able to federal lies. the state guard. the tax has government has a choose a bite and administration of failing to protect the nation. and todd washington cooled the states actions and legal on demand didn't see the cool application operations. but the deadline for that has already expired. the white house, but it's passed and said people here are playing political game. we will not shy away from calling out what we see is political games from the governor because it is not safe, it does not protect our communities. it's not, it doesn't help border patrol to do their jobs, so we will continue to call that out. that's not gonna hold us back. meanwhile, president barge and once congress to pos a national security spending bill to both the security on the board top box, it's tied to aid to ukraine. and israel, something republ

and basically tried it using national guard. and they take the national guard away from texas to this case, right. and from abbot. one thing that's already been done is they say this is retaliation. you know, that gets a subjective but by defining ministration as, as basically blocked currently or for the cause on liquid natural gas exports, which affects texas. um, so you can start seeing what the economic appraisal realizing that national guard would be. another escalation that i would have to respond to, um, but yeah, i mean, the last thing you want to see something, you know, escalating into actual is yeah, you don't want to see obviously physical conflict. but there is definitely a, it's like a spiritual battle. you know, kind of one of these issues and america like, like the 2nd amendment. you know, this question around. well, and i said, you know, who was it? the guy says he was dropped me. it's not going to police the border in texas as hey, it's our border and we're gonna have, you know, we're going to police close to o

, in your case, oklahoma national guard, send them to texas to help greg abbott. you going to do that? >> absolutely, i've done it once before. i talked to my tag, general mancino, we are putting the numbers together and will be in contact with governor abbott. we need common sense here. what is the biden administration doing? why directing border patrol? american people need to ask themselves, why are they directing border patrol to cut razor wire? this makes no sense, this is beyond politics, what is happening? >> steve: an important point. number of democrat are calling on president biden, you know what you need to do? you need to federalize texas national guard, that means no longer is greg abbott their boss, they are working for the commander-in-chief, mr. biden. here is -- have you thought this through? if you send oklahoma national guard down there and other states send them down there, all joe biden has to do is federalize them and they are doing essentially support work for the border patrol who are down there trying to process the invasion of migrants. y

was that saying that the federal government could seize the texas national guard or stop the texas nationaluard? i kind of missed that point. >> reporter: question. somebody asked if the president was going to federalize the guard and kirby's answer, he didn't say no. he have said i don't have any decisions with respect to that and to speak for the president. he does not have anything on that. but they're down there, these texas national guard guys. their orders are to lay out razor wire to keep people out of the u.s. they're right next to these cpb officers whose orders are to cut the wire if there is something they need to get to on the other side. larry: right. >> reporter: something has got to give. there are democrats in congress who want president biden to take over the texas national guard. seems like they will be spending a lot of time before the supreme court over the next couple weeks. larry: that's fabulous. that's fabulous. peter doocy, best of the best. we appreciate the update very much. all right, we're going to get right back to the illegal immigration catastrophe with our s

the national guard from other states has just been brought to texas to protect the borders, that is,s from washington to stop the piracy were ignored. the military strength of the new confederation is 102,000 people, that is, almost half the strength of the us national guard. in general, hello texas people's republic. 19 states. us army. a showdown at the southern us border between local authorities in texas and the federal government over how to handle the influx of migrants. we're here on the governor's orders to protect texas. texas governor greg abbott is continuing what he calls operation lone star. it is aimed at retaining migrants. says it will hold the line, more fencing, texas government , federal officials say texas should allow full access to this park by friday. the biden administration has ordered the state to allow border patrol agents into the area by friday, but gov. greg abate is essentially firing back at the biden administration , saying the white house is not enforcing immigration rules that are written into the laws and adding that if federal. border security, ar

texas national guard. 25 states, that is, half of the united states, stood next to texas.ernors supported the state's decision to take control of the border into its own hands. and neighbors florida, oklahoma and arkansas sent their national guards to reinforce them; biden’s ultimatum to transfer control of the border to the feds was ignored by texas. in reply, according to the constitution, the president can now take direct control of the state’s national guard. he will take control and order the military not to defend the united states. never before has a soldier been ordered not to defend his country. without enemies as neighbors, the u.s. border has been more symbol than bastion in recent centuries. whole sectors of the american economy have benefited from cheap labor from the south, but it was under biden that the policy of openness was introduced. would be the toughest fair set of reforms to secure a border that ever had in our country, it would give me, as president, a new emergency authority to close the border when it is overloaded, if i were given these powers, i

he wants the states to deploy their national guard troops.has already said she would do it, she would absolutely do that. the thought of that the thought of political pushback on the biter demonstration, on the other side you been spending some time with the former president and i want to ask about his strategy beyond the national guard trip idea. what else does he say about securing the border, what is the president's plan. >> let me talk but the national guard it is a great idea and the men and women of the border patrol support that the air force multiplier, the more people they have helping them the more border can sit out rather than processing 24/7 they can actually go out and arrest and sees the fentanyl and save the women and children and sex trafficking. but the president has a clear plan is proven effective under the trap of initiation illegal immigration at a 45 year low. remain a mexico program, it worked it was a game changer. it worked another game changer, the wall saves lives for the most vulnerable people the women, the child

well, let's add ruslan mozychuk, spokesman of the national guard of ukraine, to the conversation.uslan, welcome to our company. good morning, glory to ukraine , glory to all, mr. ruslan, what is the situation at the front now, where active hostilities are taking place , please tell me what is happening, during this day we see that there have been 64 skirmishes, and the largest number of them is precisely in the area of ​​avdiivka and maryanka, despite this guardsmen as part of the defense forces continue to conduct an active defense, in particular in the kupyansk, limansk directions, in the bakhmutsk direction, where the enemy is also concentrating its efforts, and they are also performing tasks in the zaporizhzhia direction and in the kherson region, where the enemy is also trying in some places to return the territories from which it was knocked out during the summer offensive operations and those battles that took place in the fall. how is the actual weather condition now, does the temperature affect the situation on the battlefield? we see that during the latter time, during t

is fine, the biden administration, of course, reserves the right to simply put this the very national guardse the american president has such a right, yes, the federalization of this very national guard is called, we have repeatedly received this right... five other republican states supported texas, and some of them are already sending their national guard forces or certain law enforcement forces there to support texas in terms of ensuring the security of the southern border, florida sent oklahoma there, and so on, that is, here they will eventually have to do the same federalize everyone into the national guard, if they also do not submit, well , this is the real split in america. in the meantime, apparently, the biden administration is trying to maintain a shaky status quo. so i think that if i, again, proceeding from a certain logic of biden’s political strategists, i would actually let this situation take its course, no matter how strange it may sound, for some reason, biden himself, he has been going with the flow for a long time, yes, that is, maybe he i would like to solve the migra

this causing some democrats to call on president biden to federalize the texas national guard.tomer border protection reported that 96000 known guideways have crossed over the southern border since october. the biden administration claiming there take it very seriously. listen. >> what are the reasons the president is having these negotiation procedures were processed with the senate in both republicans and democrats as i've said many times before, we want to deal with what's going on at the border. he's taking this very seriously. were doing what we can at the border, dhs is maximizing the process in doing what they can at the border. jackie: welcome, thank you so much for being here. i'm going to start with you she says the president is taking the seriously but there called guideways for a reason. they have gotten away. >> is interesting doing all they can how are they doing less now than they have before. this is really fascinating it's becoming more of a voter concern. it's the number one concern according to the harris poll that came out this week with 35% of voters saying

joe biden threatens our sovereignty state, and if he does federalize the texas national guard, that wouldedented, it would actually activate the federal guard and become. look at yesterday, at all this obscenity that is happening, we continue to move forward. trump slammed president biden and condemned the border crisis. this is a disaster, this is a terrible situation, nothing like this has ever happened before. this is the worst border in the history of the world, including any other country. there has never been a country where millions and millions of people could enter without checks, without prohibitions, without knowing anything. trump slammed president biden and condemned the border crisis. texas governor greg evatt prepared a letter addressed not just to the presidential administration, but to the entire world. here's part of what it says. under president biden's lawless border policies, more than 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed our southern border in just 3 years, more than the population of 33 different states. are you worried about the governors, the possibility of c

the texas national guard. but the american people can see what's happening because they see the illegal migrant being shipped off into housing g facilities in chicago, in airports like in boston, in new york, where we've been, sean, where we showed you right over e we at floyd bennett field, where over 2000 migrants and are being housed. and they can see the extreme of this situation where right here, even in eagle pass, they'v ae had people coming fro. these are called special interest aliens. lledal people, iraq, people frm syria, people from pakistan, crazy who haven't been properly vetted and from all over the world. yeah, it's absolutel froy insan. and i got to ask you this. what is so incredible is our. yes, go ahead, finish, finish your thought. what's so incredible? ar what i wan it to make clear isso that what's so incredible is that our bordere patrol, our national guard, our texas dps, even on the very local level here in the county, the policee local officers tha, working here in texas, they are wo

the texas national guard does not accept the ultimatum from the owner of the white house.f dismantling the barriers, the barbed wire on the border is only getting larger. the challenge is being thrown live, in front of the entire country. this is work. thousands of illegal immigrants passed through this parking lot every day, thousands. no one came through here today. we have closed everything, mr. president. you said you wanted to protect the border. texas protected her. bill is true, it would still have died as soon as it reached the house of representatives. in december alone , 3,000 illegal immigrants passed through holes on the american border, an influx of 500 people per hour. we're arresting mexican drug cartels, drug traffickers here in montana, the state is overrun, there's no other word to describe it than an invasion. already every us state has transformed. border, at biden, 10 million illegal immigrants entered the country. the governors of twenty-five states, that is , half of the united states, supported the decision of the texas authorities to take the situa

i've deployed my national guard down there three separate times already.e'll do what we can to help them support and defend their people. it the -- the inhumanity of the policies happening right now is pretty striking, dana. you see women suffering, the drug trafficking, the human trafficking that's happening because of these open border policies, it's inhumane, and it needs to stop. >> on that note, what we're hearing even from some federal agents is that they are kind of frustrated because the law is antiquated. and we'll get to that in a second. but that what they are doing, is that they're sitting there and seeing migrants, human beings, drowning or in trouble, they're on the other side of razor wire. and these people couple an't be. are you concerned about that? >> yeah, the texas department of public safety is pulling people out of the river, giving them cpr, bringing them back to life, because the cartels are forcing them across that river. i talked to one mother who had just gotten into the united states and had been taken into custody by a nationa

the people that i see saving lives don't there is the texas national guard, border patrol.t works for this federal government doesn't approve of joe biden's policies, the people in this country don't. nobody thinks that what's happening at the border is the right thing to do. they know the president has the legal authority now to take action. he could stop this today. he doesn't need to wait for a bill to pass congress. he doesn't need to wait for this bad bill to be codified, which it shouldn't be. this president, biden could take action. >> i want to ask about you that in a minute. to put a button on the letter that you wrote and what is going on with regard to the razor wire, you said that you could be willing to send south dakota national guard troops down to the border again. we heard from your colleague in oklahoma that the situation could lead to a force on force conflict. congressman higgins said the feds are staging a civil war. there's concern things between texas and the federal government could turn violent. are you worried about that? >> that's why i went to th

we just got access to shelby park thanks to the texas national guard. you can see how texas is doubling down on these efforts. you're seeing members of the texas national guard reengineering ways to make sure that migrants don't cross into shelby park illegally. you can see them deploying razor wire up there. you can see they have staged some fencing that is going to be added to this side of these containers. according to the texas national guard, this is to reinforce these barriers to make sure the illegal crossings don't come this way. the rio grande is on the other side of these containers. this is the state of texas doubling down on not allowing border patrol to enter this area, according to the texas national guard, they have access to a boat ramp nearby. that's the big battle going on in regards to access to this area. now to the big question, does this stop illegal immigration? the answer to that is no. according to a law enforcement source, some of the numbers of migrant apprehensions in this area eb and flow. they've been up and down. what smug
