Texas GOP Chair Allen West argues states that follow election law ‘need to come together and protect themselves against the states that do not', following the U.S. Supreme Court rejecting the state’s lawsuit over the 2020 presidential election.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Pete, welcome back
after the Supreme Court rejected
the Texas lawsuit our next
guest floating, the idea for
so called law, a abiding states
to form their own union
here with his idea: lighting up
social media, Texas, GOP, chair,
lieutenant, Colonel Allen, West
Kohl. Until thank you so much
for being with us on the
program.
I know you know how to throw
bombs like anybody else, but
youre a thoughtful guy.
Give me your rationale on what
youre talking about here. As far
as a union of law, abiding
states
well thats exactly what
were talking about.
When you talk about what is
happening here, we need to have
states that honor our
constitution.
I know a lot of people have
thrown out this e session. Word.
Ive, never said anything about
secession.
I talk about law abiding states.
I talk about forming a union, an
alliance because theyre the
ones that are abiding by our
rule of law.
If anyone is seceding from the
United States of America, its
the states that are violating
our rule of law,
and so when you look at the
Texas it lawsuit, which was
enjoined by9, another seventeen or eighteen
different states, and also one hundred and six
other congressmen. What they are
saying is that you cannot go out
there and violate your laws. You
cannot violate the election law.
Are you cannot have courts or
judges that are making law? You
cannot have secretaries of state
or to governors executives that
are making laws
thats supposed to be done by
the legislative branch
and those states that violated
the election law. It does have a
damaging effect on the states
that are following the haw, and
that was the crux of this
lawsuit.
Therefore, if we have a supreme
court that is supposed to be
interpreting the law that says
that states like Texas and the
others do not have an equal
protection under the law, which
is part of our 14th amendment,
and these states need to come
together and protect themselves
against the states that do not
follow our rule of law.
I think thats a pretty common
sense analysis,
PETE yeah its federalism.
Ultimately, if you discarded the
declaration of independence as
the left has done, and you
believe the constitutions, a
living document, you pursue your
own legal prerogatives.
Why was this fox excuse me
this Texas case, the point at
which you said this is really a
point of no return.
Well, I think that we have to
be concerned if the highest
court in the land, which is
supposed to interpret the law
based upon the constitution, does
not even hear a case that is
referred back to our
constitution, where the
statements can show that they
are states can show that
there is damage upon them
because of the illegal and
unconstitutional actions of
other states. This is very
disconcerting.
No PETE you and I took an oath
to the constitution and the
United States of America and
go Army beat Navy. Those of
us that have served this country
in uniform were to be very
concerned about the path were
going down.
This is a huge fracture in the
foundation of our constitutional
republic.
Pete people who dismiss the
comments you make are foolish,
because very few people have
thought about our reflipping
public in a manner in which you
have and youre a part of it
stilled odd. Today,.
