CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): I mean, can you imagine if Joe Biden federalizes 26 states' National Guard? I mean, we -- that -- I don't even know how to process that, governor.
KEVIN STITT (GUEST): Yeah. Well, I think that, you know, our National Guard, they're here to serve the country, but they're also Oklahomans. They're also Texans. They understand this issue. And I think they would have a hard time getting down there and cutting the wire, under Biden's order and just letting people come in. So, it would be a difficult situation.
KIRK: Yeah. It would be a complete -- I want to be very clear. This would be completely on Joe Biden to unnecessarily escalate a conflict. Like, why don't you go visit and talk to you and Abbott, Mr. President, before you even, like, whisper federalizing anything? Like, I know working --
STITT: Yeah.
KIRK: -- More than 2 hours a day is unusual in this White House, but, I mean, just it would be so insane and so outrageous.
