1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: The Democrats already partially shut down the government over funding 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: for ICE and DHS, and they continue to oppose the 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: Save Act. What would that do? Just requires that you 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: show you're a citizen before you can register to vote. 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: Not a big deal, right well, Beth Van Dyne, US 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: representative says, this is all about protecting illegal votes. You've 7 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: got to see this. Why aren't we going to shut 8 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: down again? What are these people doing on the other 9 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: side of the aute. I don't get it. 10 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 2: Because Democrats are desperate for this economy to fail, for 11 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 2: our borders to be open, and they don't want ICE 12 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: join their job because if they start losing population because 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: they're being deported, then they're going to lose their congressional seats. 14 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 2: This is all about power, This is all about money, 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 2: and the last thing they want is for this administration 16 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: to continue to go after the waste, fraud, and abuse 17 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: because they are uncovering tens of billions of dollars of 18 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: that that is flying into their two associations, organizations that 19 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: are Democrat organizations liberal organizations, and this administration is putting 20 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: as to it and they don't want that to happen. 21 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: So they are desperate to be able to shut down. 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 2: You got Chuck Schumer who is just just kind of 23 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: running for his life recognizing the fact that New York 24 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: City's been taken over by a Marxist Communists. He's going 25 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: to be challenged probably by AOC, and he's doing everything 26 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: that he can to say, no, I'm working for you. 27 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 2: I'm working But it's the extreme left that he's working for. 28 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 2: So it's very frustrating. We in the House, we did 29 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 2: our job. We passed over twelve appropriation bills that nobody 30 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: thought we would be able to do, and they want 31 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: to shut it down all because they don't want to 32 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: see DHS be able to do their job. 33 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: It's very strange to me because they shut it down 34 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: for forty four days for no good reason. They lied 35 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: about the Obamacare subsidies. That was the deadline the Democrats 36 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: put on that, and it was only for the pandemic. 37 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: They wanted to continue none that the pandemic has been 38 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: over for three or four years. So they got nothing 39 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: whatsoever out of that. What do they think they're going 40 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: to get out of this? Did they really think that 41 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: the American people don't want us to fund DHS? The 42 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: Department of Homeland security. 43 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: Really Yeah, well it's crazy. So if you look at 44 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: Immigrations and Customers Enforcement, which is what they're fighting about, 45 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: right it's ice that they're fighting that has already been 46 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 2: funded through our one big beautiful bill through twenty twenty nine. 47 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: That's been funded right now. The fight that they're going 48 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: to have legitimately about DHS, what is it going to do. 49 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: It's going to stop FEMA. So we in the middle 50 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: of this massive winter wonderland all across the country and 51 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,839 Speaker 2: they're going to shut down FEMA. The other thing they're 52 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: going to shut down is TSA. So you've got people 53 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: are struggling to get around the country that want to 54 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: get home. They're going to shut down and try to 55 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: disrupt TSA. It doesn't make any sense, but again, this 56 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: is what they're willing to do in order to shut 57 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 2: down the government because they don't like what this administration 58 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: is doing. But it's exactly the wrong thing. I think 59 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: American people are going to see that this is what 60 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 2: they voted for. They wanted to secure borders, they wanted 61 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: to uncover the DOGE efforts of waste, fraud and abuse, 62 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: and this administration is being very effective at both. 63 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: What do they think they're accomplished though, because again I 64 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 1: want to go back to what I said a minute 65 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: ago that you know I probably learned it from you. 66 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: They gain nothing when they shut it down for forty 67 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: four days, nothing politically. They didn't make Trump look bad 68 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: and Republicans look bad. They made themselves look stupid because 69 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: the only reason the government was shut down was because 70 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: of Democrats, and anybody and everybody, even Democrats who were 71 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: in the public they know that it wasn't shut down 72 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: with the Republicans. There wasn't any good argument. So shutting 73 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: it down now, even partially until you guys vote on 74 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: five bills instead of six and six instead of twelve, 75 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense because we're still not getting 76 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: a budget that makes any sense of the American people. 77 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: If you were on that side, I don't want you 78 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,839 Speaker 1: to hurt yourself. I know that's the problem. I don't 79 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: want you to think like a Democrat, although I'm going 80 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: to ask you to for a second. What can they 81 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: possibly be thinking in their closed door meetings, Beth, What 82 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: can they be saying to themselves this will work? Because 83 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 1: what what are they doing? 84 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: Because we have to prove, we have to prove to 85 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: our far extreme left voter base that we're fighting for them. 86 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: So we are going to go to the mat and 87 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: we're going to shut down the government to prove them 88 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: that we're fighters. That's what they're getting out of this. 89 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: And maybe it's working for that small, tiny base, But 90 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: for the vast majority of Americans that are struggling right 91 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: now to get home, that are struggling right now through 92 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: through horrendous wintry conditions that they're going to affect with FEMA, 93 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 2: this is not what they want. And when they sit 94 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: here and say we want to shut down immigrations and 95 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: Customs enforcement, again, if they look back to November twenty 96 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: twenty four, the vast majority of Americans are supportive of 97 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 2: having a secure border, are supportive of the two point 98 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: seven million people who have been deported. This is what 99 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: the American people voted for. This is what this administration 100 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: is giving them. So what are Democrats getting out of it? 101 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: They have this fake signal that, oh, hey, we're fighters, 102 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 2: but they're doing more damage and quite honestly, if the 103 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: other thing that they are able to hurt is the economy, 104 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: this is what people are going to be voting on 105 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: in November that at the end of the day, they're 106 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: looking at pocket book issues. We have a one big, 107 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: beautiful bill that working families tax cut that we passed, 108 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: that we signed into law July fourth of last year. 109 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: That those cuts are going to be helpful. You know, 110 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: they just started coming in line in January. That's going 111 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: to help the economy grow. We already saw the last 112 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 2: quarter of last year where we saw over five percent 113 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: growth in economic growth. Those are things that are going 114 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 2: to help people. A shutdown hurts the economy, and that's 115 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: exactly what Democrats want because they do not want helpful 116 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: Americans going into a mid term election because then they're 117 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: much more likely to vote for Republicans. 118 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: I think you nailed it, because if you keep on 119 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: complaining about ice in DHS and Republicans are bad, then 120 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: they're not hearing us talk enough about how good the 121 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: economy really is, how it's bouncing back. We're also not 122 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: talking a lot about the fraudust specifically that's going on 123 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: in Minnesota right now. So is this all the game plan? 124 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: Do you think let's divert attention from the low gas 125 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: prices to eleven At my gas station today, it's under 126 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: two dollars. Parts of San Antonio or on based is 127 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: that what it is. Forget about how cheap groceries are, 128 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: Forget about interest rates coming down, forget about how affordable 129 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: it is now to buy a house where it wasn't 130 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: at all under Biden. And also forget about all the fraud, 131 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: wasted abuse that's going on in these very, very blue states. 132 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: Because Ice is the gestapo. Is that the plan really, 133 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: I think, I mean. 134 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: That would be the playbook that they seem to be following. 135 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 2: So it's absolutely distract Don't look at the economy. Don't 136 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 2: look at the actual numbers. Don't look at the fact 137 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: that you're going to have one hundred and fifty billion 138 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 2: dollars that are going to be given in tax rebates 139 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 2: the first quarter of this year. Don't look at the 140 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: five months six months of decreasing rental rental costs. Don't 141 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: look at the two point eight you know, or two 142 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: point seven million deportations. Don't look at you know, the 143 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 2: decrease in crime rates. I mean, don't look at the 144 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: increase in wages, which for the first time in a 145 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: long time now has actually overgrown on the rise of inflation. 146 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: I mean, all of those things are being handled by 147 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 2: policies out of this administration and a Republican run Congress. 148 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: Those are helping people, but they don't want to talk 149 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: about that. So you're absolutely right. They're going to continue 150 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: to distract and hope people's focuses on this sho any 151 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: object and not on reality. 152 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: We're doing this on Monday, the second of February Tomorrow, 153 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: on Tuesday the third, the House could be voting on 154 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: this probably will be voting on what you got back 155 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: from the Senate. But is it exactly what I said 156 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: it was? It's five bills and then we're going to 157 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: leave DHS and Limbo. And again, as you said, Ice 158 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: and the Enforcement Arm has already been funded through twenty 159 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: twenty nine or something. So what exactly is this vote 160 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: on tomorrow? Is it on five spending bills? 161 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: So it's on five appropriation bills. And what they want 162 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: to do is they want to postpone DHS for two 163 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: weeks and somehow thinking that they're going to be able 164 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: to negotiate I guess ICE funding out. I don't know 165 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 2: what the what the game plan is for the Democrats, 166 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: but what we what has been offered up right now 167 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: that's going through the Rules Committee as we speak is 168 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 2: the fire appropriation bills, but a pause for DHS for 169 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: two weeks. 170 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: Again, if we're going to have a Department of Homeland Security, 171 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: how do you not fund it? I'm not sure I understand. 172 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: We have so many things in that department. Now, like 173 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: you said, TSA and ICE and VP and HS sign 174 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: all these all these thing FEMA, how do you pause that? 175 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: How do you pause that funding, especially, as you said, 176 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: in the middle of the most brutal Arctic blast we've 177 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: had in like five years. 178 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 2: Don't ask me. I think it's ridiculous. This is why 179 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: I supported this bill. Are there things in the bill 180 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: that you know? I thought that I would have preferred out, Absolutely, 181 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: But I'm not going to throw the baby out with 182 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: bath water. So there are You know, we passed. We 183 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: did our job in the House. We've been told we 184 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: haven't been on regular order. We passed our approparation bills 185 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: all twelve and we sent over the Senate. The Senate 186 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: needs to do its job and to stop playing politics, 187 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: which is exactly what they are. So afraid that this 188 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: economy is kicking in, that people are feeling more secure, 189 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: people are feeling more hopeful than they have You're seeing 190 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: trillions of dollars of outside investment poured into our economy. 191 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 2: You're seeing again tax rebates, You're seeing ease ups on 192 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: tax whether or not it's no tax on tipsnow tax 193 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: on overtime. All of these things that Republicans have done 194 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: and performed that are starting to kick in. People are 195 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 2: starting to feel and they're going to continue to strapped 196 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: and as painful as they can make it, they will. 197 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: Democrats will because the last thing that they want again 198 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: is for people to feel that kind of security going 199 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 2: into the midterms. They would rather wrecker economy. They would 200 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: rather open our borders. They would rather have people here 201 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 2: illegally who are committing crimes than actually admit that the 202 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: Republicans are on the right track, because they'd rather keep power. 203 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: District twenty four Republican Grace stated, Texas in is bethe 204 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: and dying. We appreciate you stopping by. Joaquin Castro, who's 205 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: a guy that represents one of the districts in San Antonio. 206 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: District twenty has made a poster child out of this 207 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: little kid from Ecuador and his father's from Ecuador, but 208 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: they live in Minnesota. This kid, Liam Kanejo rob Ramos 209 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: they go. He was at the Dailly facility, not far 210 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: from where I sit, and he was fine. He was 211 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: asleep in his father's arms. The Left sold this story, Beth, 212 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: as if the kid was sickly and dying and ill 213 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: and malnourished and was no good. And this is all 214 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: because Ice is bad and it's a gestapo and Trump 215 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: is bad. You know, we just heard from Tom Holman 216 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: the other day that one hundred and forty five thousand 217 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: missing kids were found that were lost by Biden and Harris. 218 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: They don't care about one of those kids, yet they 219 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: can make a poster boy, a poster child out of 220 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: this little kid Lee. And we didn't know where the 221 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: hell he was, and his mother didn't want to take custody. 222 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: His father was here illegally. They used that child to 223 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: try to get across to the American people, and sadly 224 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people fell for it. About how horrible 225 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: Republicans are about the kids is our problem on our side, Beth, 226 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: the fact that our messaging sucks. It's got to be 227 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: because one hundred and forty five thousand found getting rapists 228 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: and pedophiles and murderers off the streets. Those are all 229 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: really good things. Yet the only thing that somebody walking 230 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: out of a high school in where you're from, you know, Irving, Texas, 231 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: they're holding signs about how horrible it was that we're 232 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: treating this ramost kid like he's nothing. Are we doing 233 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: badly on messaging? I don't think you are. I think 234 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: I'm trying my best. But what's going on here? 235 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 2: Well, I think you know it bleeds leads, and so 236 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: when you talk about things that are positive, that's not 237 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: what you're going to make the headlines. I think the 238 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: media looks for these types of examples, and when they 239 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: can't find the example, they'll make it up. I mean 240 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,599 Speaker 2: we have seen that over and over again, whether or 241 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 2: not that is, you know, demonizing CBP for doing its 242 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: job and saying that they were whipping people at the border, 243 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 2: which absolutely was not what was happening, talking about this 244 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 2: child and willing to put him out there in a 245 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: complete lie it was not happening. They will make up 246 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 2: stories to try to give the worst look for Immigrations 247 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: and Customers Enforcement for this administration that it possibly can. 248 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: I think Republicans are sticking to the message, which is 249 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: what is a positive message, but it's not what the 250 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: media wants to talk about. And I look at my colleagues, 251 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: you know, social media posts, and for the most part, 252 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 2: they are all talking about, you know, the cost of 253 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: gas being down, rental rights being down, mortgage rates being down, 254 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: the economy being up, wages being up. We are sticking 255 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 2: to that message because it's a true message. But the 256 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 2: media is fighting us left and right, and people are 257 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: being distracted because they're looking at something that sounds horrible, 258 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 2: but when you uncover it, it's a lie. How do 259 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: we fixt you're doing to continue to uncover? 260 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate that, but here's the problem. So called 261 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: news organizations said this kid was arrested with his father. 262 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: Others said he was detained with his father. None of 263 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: that's true. The father ran from ice, he decided to 264 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: abandon his kid in temperatures that were below zero actual 265 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: temperature in Minneapolis that day. Then they tried to give 266 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: him to his mother twice, who refused to come out, 267 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: allegedly afraid she would be arrested. They said, we're not 268 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: here to get you, We're not going to arrest you, 269 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: take your son. She wouldn't come and take the son. 270 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: So what do they do instead of separating the family's 271 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: beth because that's illegally. You can't separate the families. He 272 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: kept the family together. Now they were detaining him in Dilly, 273 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: which of course they weren't. Mom could have gotten them 274 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: at any time. And you're right, all the stuff that 275 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: you just mentioned, all the stuff I try to mention 276 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: on my show is overwhelmingly positive. But these idiots believed 277 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: the Washington Post and The Hill and New York Times 278 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: that all alleged that he was being detained. Can we 279 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: defeat them, Can we beat them on messaging or not? 280 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: I think the more the more folks like you that 281 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 2: come out, and the more people who are having podcasts 282 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: that are competing with these these national news organizations that 283 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: are that are you know, generations old, that are losing 284 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 2: their readership. There's a reason why there's a reason why 285 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: people are not trusting in the New York Times, in 286 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: the Washington Post, because they've come out with lies. They 287 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 2: have covered up lies. I mean, look at what they 288 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: were passing just just a few years ago that Biden 289 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: was at the top of his game. Nothing to see here, 290 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 2: Oh no, there's nothing with with with with the hunter 291 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 2: Biden's laptop. They have been been very famous for putting 292 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 2: off lies and lies and lies and covering up the truth. 293 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: And so I think the more podcasts we have, the 294 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: more people like like uh Nick Soria who are doing 295 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: the hard work and following up and putting these these 296 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: images out on social media, and then those are taking off, 297 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 2: those are going viral. That's what people are responding to 298 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: right now. And there's a reason why you know, your 299 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: old generational news is losing readership because nobody trusts. 300 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: Them anymore that the District twenty four Republican, Great State 301 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: of Texas. I think you know this. I was at 302 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: television news anchor for a long time. I've won a 303 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: ton of awards and journalism, tons of them, and I 304 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: brag about it all the time. Bet to be honest 305 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: with you, when I see somebody like Don Lemon pretending 306 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: that he's a journalist and he's not, who embedded himself 307 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: with people he knew were going to break the law, 308 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: it would be as if I said, as a journalist, oh, 309 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna rob the bank, let me embed myself with 310 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: you as you robbed the bank. Then I'll report on it, 311 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: and then I'll and then I'll interview some of the tellers. 312 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: What he did at that church was a violation of 313 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: law simply because he was I believe, aiding a betting 314 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: and harboring people he knew was about. He knew these 315 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: people were about to go and break the law. But 316 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: even worse than that, he's attempting to say his First 317 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: Amendment allowed him to interrupt the first Amendment of those 318 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: who were worshiping at a church on a Sunday service 319 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: and then interview the pastor as you have just bombarded 320 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: the church with these agitators. What do you make the 321 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: whole Don Lemon story? Because there were idiots on the 322 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: left who want us to believe he's just a journalist 323 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: doing his job. 324 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, Don Lemon is so absolutelyely desperate to be relevant 325 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: again that he's willing to break the law to do it. 326 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: He went in and he busted up. If he really 327 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: was interested in these people's opinions, if he wanted to 328 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 2: talk to the minister, he could have waited until after 329 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: the services were over. But they went in there specifically 330 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: during the middle of service to interrupt it, to make 331 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: a scene, and that, by the way, is a violation 332 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: of the Face Act. He knew absolutely that they were 333 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: doing that. Let them try doing that in a mosque. 334 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: Let's see how that goes. Let's see if the rest 335 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: of the media he's like, oh so accepting of it. Absolutely, 336 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: they would not be. They would call him in islama phobe. 337 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 2: They would get in his face about if any other 338 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: journalist try to do that. But the fact is that 339 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: Don Lemon is so pathetic, sad. He is trying to 340 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: stay relevant and literally is willing to incite a mob 341 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 2: to go in and break up a worshiping service to 342 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 2: get publicity. And it's working. But you know, I also 343 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 2: saw a mugshot, so somewhat hopeful that you know he 344 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: likes the or the color orange. 345 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm with you. And by the way, not only the 346 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: Face Act, also eighteen USC. Two forty one, which is 347 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: a conspiracy to restrict rights. You cannot walk in and 348 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: say my First Amendment right is more important than your 349 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: First Amendment right. It's like these idiots that are closing 350 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: down streets in Minneapolis. No, you don't have the right 351 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: to do that because you have the right to bring 352 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: redress or to peaceably assemble. By the way, the word 353 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: protest does it in the First Amendment. It is that 354 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: BETHA and nine, let's finish with this. Can you explain 355 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: to me in simple terms, because I'm a simple guy, 356 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: why anybody would have a problem with making sure that 357 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: we show that we're US citizens before we register to vote. 358 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: The same Act only does that, Beth. It doesn't do 359 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: anything more than that, Just prove that you're a citizen 360 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: when you're registering to vote and you've got the right 361 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: to vote. What's controversial because people. 362 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: Who don't want that to happen. People who want to 363 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: make sure that anybody that they give a card to 364 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: can vote, regardless of whether or not they're here legally 365 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 2: illegally have already voted a number of times. They don't 366 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: want safe elections. And so I am a huge supporter 367 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 2: of the Save Act. I think it needs to be passed. 368 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: I find no problem at all with requiring people to 369 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 2: prove that they are US citizens. I mean, think about 370 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: how many different things that we do on a daily 371 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 2: basis that you have to have ID for, you know, 372 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 2: renting a renting a book from your library. Right when 373 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: you go to a lot to get a library card, 374 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 2: you have to show proof of citizenship. If you go 375 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: to a rec center, you have to show proof of citizenship. 376 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: To get on a plane, you have to have you know, 377 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: you have to show a photo. I d there are 378 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: so many things that people don't seem to have a 379 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 2: problem with that the government does, that private private sector does, 380 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: and yet to vote, which is, you know, determining the 381 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 2: future of our country. Because you're determining those people who 382 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 2: are making those those those those long term votes and 383 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: representing us they have a problem with. You got to 384 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 2: ask yourself why, And I would say it's because they 385 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 2: already have a game plan around folks who are legally 386 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 2: here doing that. So I think we need to pass 387 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 2: the Say Act. I'm fighting for it. I'm on that bill. 388 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 2: I wish this was something that we didn't have to do. 389 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 2: And I really feel like it's only been recently that 390 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 2: this has even become controversial. And again, it's because you've 391 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 2: got Democrats who are desperate. It's part of their power base. 392 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 2: Illegal immigrants are part of their power base, and they 393 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 2: don't want to do anything that will shine them away 394 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: from having more of a voice in determining our government. 395 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: Why do you think John Thune dragged his feet on this? 396 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: Do you know? I mean you he's got the ability 397 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: now with the with the majority, to get rid of 398 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: the filibuster, even make it a talking filibuster, which actually 399 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: means you have to argue until you're blue in the 400 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: face and fall asleep, and then we can vote on it. 401 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: Just letting people say, hey, we're gonna filibuster, then go 402 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: to lunch. John Thune can end that today. Do you 403 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: have any idea why he's dragged his feet on this. 404 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: I think they're afraid of and I can't speak for 405 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 2: I can't speak for us for sure, opinion, I think 406 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 2: they're I think what they're concerned about again is setting 407 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 2: a precedent. But the problem is is that the Democrats 408 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 2: continue to set precedent and every single time they are 409 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: in power and they roll us over and over again, 410 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: and Republicans have got to come back fighting. Enough is enough. 411 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 2: If we have a bill that we've got to get 412 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: past that will save this country, we need to do it. 413 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: And we cannot allow a few voices who just want 414 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 2: to be disrupted, absolutely like you said, to continue to 415 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 2: shut us down, because as soon as the Democrats get 416 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 2: in power, they're going to roll us. It's going to happen. 417 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 2: We've seen it before. We're going to see it again. 418 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: But I think it's the ones who are still optimistic 419 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: that the Senate can work together as an adult body. 420 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: I think the Democrats have proven them wrong. I think 421 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer is desperate and he will do anything that 422 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 2: he can to retain power, which includes ending the filibuster. 423 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 2: If they are able to get power again. 424 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: Well, I have you, I've been miss I have to 425 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: go here about the hope you don't mind it. We 426 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: get a little gossip you here, I'm seeing this guy, 427 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: Colin Allred calling out James Tallerico for calling out Jasmine Crockett. 428 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: It's listen, We're both Texans. We love our state. I 429 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: think it's going to be an easy win for the 430 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: Republican whether it be Corny or Packson or Hunt. Somebody 431 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: on the Republican side I think will become the US 432 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: Senator or continue. It depends on a corning can get 433 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: back in. Having said that, on the left, I mean, 434 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: are you enjoying this as much as I am? I 435 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: mean all Colin Allred was laying on like a bench 436 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: press bench. I just got done with my workout and 437 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: I'm sweating, and how dare James Talerico come after me? 438 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: A black man going after a black woman. I mean, 439 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: it's kind of fun to watch, isn't it. I'm enjoying it. 440 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: Well, I'm not sure I have see the Democrats going 441 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 2: after each other than Republicans going yes each other. But 442 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: I will tell you. I will tell you that as 443 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: much media and attention as this race is generating, there 444 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: is a concern that you're going to see hundreds of 445 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 2: millions of dollars pumped in on the Democrat side to 446 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: support these Democrat Senate candidates, and those are going to 447 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 2: be used in districts like mine, the district's like District 448 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: twenty four in the Dallas Fort Worth area to be 449 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 2: able to pump out a ton of money to try 450 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: to get more Democrats to the polls. So, as Republicans, 451 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 2: we have got to be all hands on deck together 452 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: focused on a message of this is what we have 453 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 2: produced for the American people, this is what we're continuing, 454 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 2: this is what our morals are. We are for, you know, 455 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 2: standing up for a secure border, UH and putting more 456 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: money in people's pockets, allowing parents to have more of 457 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 2: the say over their kids, for your reasonable uhlaws that 458 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 2: represent the fact that we have an American dream and 459 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 2: want people to be able to have the opportunity to 460 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 2: be able to fight for that and not get squashed 461 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 2: or the government regulations. We want small businesses to be 462 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 2: able to flourish. We have to have that focused message 463 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: and all stand together. So yes, am I am I 464 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 2: relieved that the Democrats, you know, are biting at each 465 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 2: other's heels. Yes, but the same token. I also know 466 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: that we have to come out with a strong message. 467 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 2: You already mentioned it earlier. We've got to make sure 468 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: that it's resonating with folks, our constituents and getting them 469 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 2: out to the polls. 470 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: You couldn't give me five minutes of fun with the 471 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: infighting on the left. Really, you couldn't give me five minutes, Beth. 472 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: Now listen, the concern is real. 473 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 2: I'd be distracted by that. 474 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: I understand. No, no, no, I don't don't want to 475 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: be distracted. But it's kind of it's kind of nice 476 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: to sit back and watch it not be us. But 477 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: there is there is an issue on our side. Let's 478 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit. I don't I don't 479 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: know if you're endorsing anybody, but I've had Wesley Hunt in 480 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: studio I've had just had Ken Paxton studio. Probably we'll 481 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: have Corning again. I've been doing corning for twenty years. 482 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we've got good candidates on our side. 483 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: But here's the problem. The national polling that you just 484 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: alluded to. They show like James Tallerico forty seven over 485 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: Paxton forty six. I mean, they're literally showing it to 486 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: be a neck and neck race. Do you think it's 487 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: really that close that this mess on the left can 488 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: can get this Senate seat? 489 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 2: You know, I would have said no until Saturday night 490 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 2: when I watched Senate District nine in Texas that had 491 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 2: historically that was a Trump plus seventeen the candidate, and 492 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 2: that the Republican candidate that lost. There was almost a 493 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: thirty point switch switchover and the Democrat won. Now it's 494 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 2: you know, I am optimistic that in November. There's a 495 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 2: number of things that happened here. We had horrible storms, 496 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 2: you know, snowstorms, ice storms that cut people from the polls. 497 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: Y did people vote it? I mean we were all 498 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: freezing here in Texas. 499 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we we had over three hundred thousand 500 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 2: people that showed up in the regular election in a 501 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 2: special election and the run off it was like less 502 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 2: than it was about nineties, less than one hundred. So 503 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 2: we have to get our voter base out. But that 504 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 2: being said, you know, I am optimistic. You are absolutely right. 505 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 2: I think the Republican Senator whoever is the forerunner and 506 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: that is going to win. But I know that you 507 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 2: can't take it for granted. And I think, you know, 508 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: we've got to get good candidates on the ballot. We've 509 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: got to make sure that they get supported. We've got 510 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 2: to get our base out. We have to have that 511 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: winning message, which we have. You know, the hard part 512 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 2: is done when you start seeing the results. We're passing 513 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 2: bills that are helping. It's getting that message out and 514 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: making sure that we're all staying on that and not 515 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 2: biting each other. And you know, I don't want to 516 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 2: get caught in the cross fire, you know I am. 517 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 2: I'm friendly with Paxton, with Cornyn, with Wesley Hunt. I 518 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 2: want to see them all succeed of so our country succeeds. 519 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 2: But again, Saturday, and I think it was an extreme 520 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: example of what can happen if we do not all 521 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 2: get out to the polls and recognize how quickly these 522 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 2: seats could flip if we're not diligent. 523 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: Now it's quite the wake up call. I can't I 524 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: can't disagree with you. Let me let me ask you 525 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: this going into what's going to happen in November. I mean, 526 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm apprehensive. I certainly understand why people would be would 527 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: be worried about it, but I still feel like, not 528 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: only can you hold the house, you might be able 529 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: to gain in the house if we do it right. 530 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: The messaging the way it is now, and I'll go 531 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: back to what you and I talked about earlier in 532 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: this conversation, The messaging in the way I see it 533 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: now is our site isn't doing a good enough job. 534 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: We're trying, but our site isn't doing a good enough 535 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: job to overcome big Hollywood, big sports, big music, big academia, 536 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: and of course the left machine in Washington as well. 537 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: So what has to change between now and that we 538 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: still have time? What has to change between now and 539 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: then to make sure the Michigan gets out? And You're right, 540 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: you and I are doing it. We're trying our best. 541 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: There are people who do like what I do, and 542 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: they're doing their best. But when they own all of 543 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: those those mechanisms, conglomeration of leftism in this country that's 544 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: hard to defeat. What do you do well? 545 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 2: I think, you know, there's a small group of people 546 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 2: that actually watch the news and are focused on that. 547 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 2: The rest of the people are voting with what they 548 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 2: actually deal with. They're what they're seeing. And so if 549 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 2: people start feeling that, you know, they are their wages 550 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 2: are rising higher than inflation. If they start feeling, you 551 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 2: know what, I can rocks a little bit and I 552 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 2: might be able to buy a home now because mortgage 553 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 2: rates are down because I'm seeing more you know, there's 554 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 2: there's more upper job opportunities for me to have to 555 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 2: get greater pay. When they start seeing those things, Oh 556 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: this small business has taken off, Oh this this this 557 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 2: company is expanding here, and you know they're they're actually 558 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 2: investing more money in our community, and we're starting to 559 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 2: see you know that that come out of the ground. 560 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 2: Those are the things that people will actually recognize and 561 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,719 Speaker 2: recognize and appreciate. We can sit here and we can 562 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 2: talk about the distractions that really don't affect as many 563 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 2: people's lives. Is I think the Democrats want or we 564 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 2: are looking at with the vast majority of people are 565 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 2: feeling in their pocketbooks are seeing Do you feel safer 566 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 2: now when you go out at night? You know, you're 567 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: feeling that that crime is under control. You are seeing 568 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 2: more police presence or you're seeing less less. You know, 569 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 2: people who are being attacked on your subways. You know 570 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: you're you're able to take the subway now because for 571 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 2: the first time in years, you actually feel like you're safe. 572 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 2: Those are the things that that people are meaningful and 573 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 2: will bring people to the polls. So again, that is 574 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 2: what Republicans are focused on. I know that's what this 575 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: administration is focused on. The more wins we can have 576 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 2: that are practical, that are realistic, that are felt throughout 577 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: the country, the more likelihood that we're going to be 578 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 2: able to keep that the support and going into the 579 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 2: November the terms. 580 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right. It's Betha and Didine District 581 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: twenty four Republican, great date of Texas. I appreciate all 582 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: the time. Today, let me just finish with this. It 583 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: always seems like if there's bad weather or if somebody's got, 584 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: you know, a belly ache, it's like our side that 585 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: doesn't go and vote there seems to always be so 586 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: much more expedient voter apathy on the right, and I 587 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: don't know why that is. The left takesvoting seriously. I 588 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: don't think they're as knowledgeable as we are. I think 589 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: they go there and vote on whoever somebody told them 590 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: on the Grammys to vote for. But how can we 591 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: solve that? I think there's voter apathy on our side. 592 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: And if we said in our hands, we're going to 593 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: have Minnesota all over this country. Minnesota is a conservative state, Beth. 594 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: I think you and I both know that. But for 595 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: so long, I think maybe fraud is involved too. But 596 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 1: for so long Conservatives and Republicans have been told your 597 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: vote won't make a difference, Why go and we have 598 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: to go. 599 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you when I ran in twenty twenty, 600 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 2: I ran in the most competitive district in Texas. It 601 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: was the only district that Trump lost that a Republican 602 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: picked up. And I didn't know that in a congressional state, 603 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: only one. So I out we outvoted Trump by about 604 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 2: twenty five thousand votes. Wow, there is messaging and it works, 605 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 2: But I will tell you I can't. I cannot tell 606 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 2: you enough how many people I talked to that just 607 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 2: assumed because it's Texas. Just assume because they knew me, 608 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 2: and they assume because it was a quote republicancy, that 609 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 2: we weren't going to have a problem. And so again 610 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 2: it is definitely voter apathy because they're just they assume 611 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 2: that Texas is going to be Republicans. But they don't 612 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: seem to understand is we have had a changing demographic. 613 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: We have a lot of social media that does you know, 614 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 2: turn turn what our younger generation is seeing and how 615 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 2: they're voting and what they're thinking. We've got to respond 616 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 2: to that. We've got to be much more engaged. I 617 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: think you've seen that. You know, you've got in the 618 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 2: Riley Games of the world, that Charlie Kirk's of the 619 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 2: world who are recognizing that and going directly to these schools, 620 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: these universities and talking to students to make sure that 621 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: they understand at what's at risk and how important it 622 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 2: is for them to get engaged and vote and know 623 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: what they're voting for. And we need to do more 624 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 2: of that. And we are outreaching to our youth as 625 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 2: as much as we possibly can, whether or not it's 626 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: through our Youth Council, whether or not it's going directly 627 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: to schools and universities and getting them engaged. But this 628 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 2: is how they're learning now. It's not through New York Times, 629 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 2: it's not through the Washington host It's through TikTok videos 630 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: of what they see on YouTube and other and other sites. 631 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 2: So we have to get more engaged and more smart 632 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: about how we do it. But we also can get 633 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 2: so desperate for social media attention as Republicans that a 634 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 2: lot of the Republicans have got these huge social media presents. 635 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 2: It's because they are really negative on other Republicans. We've 636 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: got to figure out a way around that. And again 637 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 2: I try not to be negative on Republicans, to stick 638 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 2: to what my constituents actually feel, what their what their 639 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: their concerns are, what their interests are, and what we're 640 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 2: doing to respond to it in solutions. So I think 641 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 2: it can It can work, but you know, it's not 642 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 2: always as sexy as a as a massive fight or 643 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 2: you know, something that's that's nasty or or battlefield material. 644 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: So I get it. 645 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 2: We can say Republicans are boring, right because we're worried 646 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 2: about things that actually affect people and talking about regulations 647 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: as important as as that is to all of our 648 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 2: small bus This is we hear it over and over again. 649 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 2: It is important, that is to our healthcare providers not 650 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 2: to have to have be strangled by regulation cheaper gas 651 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 2: because you're lifting off the foot on the next of 652 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 2: our energy producers. It's not sexy to talk about, but 653 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 2: it really does make a difference, and that's what we 654 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 2: have to focus on. 655 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right.
