| 0:00.0 | This is Handel on the law where I, Bill Handel, give you, insert name here, marginal legal advice and tell you you have no case, and I hope that that happens. |
| 0:11.3 | Because when I tell you, you do have a case, believe me, I'm very upset about that. |
| 0:14.9 | When you don't have a case, I think it's fantastic. |
| 0:19.3 | Now, let's go to a case out of Texas, okay? This has to do with immigration. A U.S. |
| 0:30.1 | judge in Texas has ruled against President Biden's program that offers a path to citizenship |

| 1:42.3 | Keeping families together was illegal. The judge blocked it |
| 1:48.0 | temporarily until the judge made a final decision. Well, the judge made a final decision and it is done, |
| 1:59.0 | ruled against. And here is what, ruled against. |
| 2:04.6 | And here is what's going on with that. It doesn't matter anymore. |
| 2:06.6 | It doesn't matter because anything that President Biden did that was pro-immigration as a presidential directive that he could do without Congress. |
| 2:16.6 | And there's no chance he would get anything through |
