WEBVTT - The Iran Dilemma 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.720 Welcome to today's podcast sponsored by Hillsdale College, All Things 0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:06.440 Hillsdale Hillsdale dot ed or I encourage you to take 0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:08.920 advantage of the many free online courses there, and of 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:11.280 course I'll listen to the Hillsdale Dialogue. All of them 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:14.560 at Hugh for Hillsdale dot com or just Google, Apple 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:19.680 iTunes and Hillsdale Morning, Glauri and Evening Grace America. I'm 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.159 due doing the Earlief Factors video West. It's got a 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.400 lot coming up. Today's Senator Tom Cotton, Dan Rundy, other 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.680 experts on what looks to be the inevitability of hostilities 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.960 with Iran President Trump speaking about that at the Board 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.600 of Peace. I have that tape as well. But before 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.720 today's program, I was able to pre record an interview 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.159 that will drop next week when I'm gone. Kirschleitcher will 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.360 be my guest host next week and you'll hear the 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.000 whole interview then. But it gave me such great joy 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.279 I just want to let you hear a little bit 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:52.239 of it right now. Dennis, welcome back. This gives me 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:57.480 great joy to talk to you. How are you, my friend? 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:05.720 That is a complex question. I'm Since November twelfth, twenty 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:10.440 twenty four. I have been paralyzed from the shoulders down, 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:17.840 so that goes a long way in answering your question. 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:24.920 On the other hand, I am thinking as creatively as ever, 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:30.759 and I am able to speak, which every doctor who's 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.720 commented on it, and none of them have been religious 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:36.840 as called a miracle. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.800 Stop right there. I'm not giving away the story. You 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.080 have to wait till next week. You can order Dennis's 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.240 right now. It's available in bookstores on Monday, but you 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.080 can pre order it so it's delivered by then. It's 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.880 called If there Is No God? The battleover who Defines 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.080 Good and Evil. It is written with the assistance of 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.440 his dear friend Joel Alperson. It's a fabulous book. I've 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.160 read it over the last week knowing that we're going 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.760 to talk to Dennis today, and we spent a half 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:08.720 hour on subjects immediate and remote, enduring, an eternal, and 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.960 just as fresh as yesterday's news. We talked about ten 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.320 to seven. We talked about his recovery, we talked about 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.760 the imminence of the war with Iran. We talked about 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.960 all that. But the book doesn't drop until Monday, so 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.680 I got permission just to play a little clip, little 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:27.000 teaser as a way of getting you to go and 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.959 purchase Dennis Prager's brand new book, If there Is No God. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.800 If there Is No God. It's in bookstores on Monday, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.000 but you can have it on your doorstep if you 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.200 go to Amazon or Barnes and Noble right now in 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:43.200 order If there Is No God. Dennis Prager back in 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.919 the game. So much fun to talk to him. Last 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.120 time I saw Dennis, he couldn't speak. Now he speaks 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.200 quite well, quite clearly. He'll take his time occasionally, but 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.840 it's a fabulous interview. Kurt will play it for you 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:59.680 next week. Now to the eminence of war, which appears 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.320 to be to me certain Donald Trump at the Board 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.320 of Peace this morning, cut number one. 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.720 Now is the time for Iran to join us on 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:13.080 a path that will complete what we're doing. And if 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.200 they join us, that'll be great. If they don't join us, 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.600 that'll be great too, but it'll be a very different path. 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.080 They cannot continue to threaten the stability of the entire region, 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:27.600 and they must make a deal. Or if that doesn't happen, 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.200 I maybe can understand if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, But. 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:37.840 Bad things will happen. If it doesn't, bad things for Iran. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.040 There's a lot of reporting out of Israel today about 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.680 the order of battle plans, and you never know. But 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.800 the Israeli media does have amazing sources within the IDF 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.680 and the government, and it appears as though the missiles 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.800 are the number one target. Try and take them out 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.960 immediately and preemptively. The Ford is not yet there. It 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:58.920 is reported to be headed to the coast of Israel 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.960 to assist with missile defense. If Iran gets off a barrage, 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:04.480 Iron can always capitulate. 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.120 By the way, We're supposed to do. 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.640 Something in writing soon, but they're down to ten days now. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.400 And with President Trump, when he gets impatient, he gets 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.160 impatient and the blow will fall, and it looks like 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.080 it's going to be many blows over many days. I'll 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:21.200 talk with Senator Cotton about that. He also said cut 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:22.440 number two. I want to play it. 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.440 Again, guitar countries. Nobody could have signed. You would have 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.640 had that threat. Nobody could have had. You couldn't have 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.120 peace in the Middle East. So now we may have 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:33.760 to take it a step further, or we may not. 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.320 Maybe we're gonna make a deal you're gonna be finding 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.320 out over the next probably ten days. 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.760 Ten days, ten days. Don't count on it, Iran, make 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:47.560 a deal or get dealt with. Also today the President 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.960 heaps some praise on his secretary of State. That was 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:51.840 kind of funny as well. Cut number five. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.479 Marco does it with the velvet love, but it's a kill. 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:01.600 The result is the same. 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:05.280 They do it very differently, And Marco, you really did 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.880 yourself proud two days ago in Munich, In fact, so 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:14.000 proud that I almost terminated his employee because they were saying, 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.880 we why can't Trump do this? I do, but I 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.440 say it differently. But Marco, don't do any better than 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:22.760 you did. 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.279 Police you think, because if you can't. 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.119 Be legit funny, that was legit funny. I got asked 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.640 on the Fox News today. I thought I've covered just 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.919 about everything in my life. I've never been asked about 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.760 British Royalty before, but I did my homework. This was 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.719 with John Roberts earlier this afternoon. Cut number eight. 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.840 And let's forget Hugh Hewitt, Foxy's contributed, our host of 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.240 the Huge Show. So with these charges, the allegation, the 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:51.040 investigation not about sex. It's about whether or not he 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.440 gave confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein. But as Jillian 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.479 and I were talking about just a second ago, this 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.440 is kind of like popping al capone for taxibit. 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:03.920 Well good after in John. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.880 Misconduct in public office is the charge that's a common 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.479 law crime in Great Britain, meaning it goes back centuries. 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.799 In fact, it goes back to before the United States 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.960 was founded, before the Colony of Virginia existed, and it's 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.880 pretty expansive. It can cover all sorts of actions by 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:25.200 a public official wrongfully carrying out their public duties, and 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.800 there are lots of cases about this. It can be 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.720 a life imprisonment. Now, very few things are as annoying 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.160 on television as a lawyer talking out of the top 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:34.760 of their hat about things that they don't know about. 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.560 I practice con law and land use law, but I 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.240 dug into some of these precedents, and if Andrew gave 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:45.600 confidential documents to Epstein from which Epstein could make a buck, 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.880 it's clearly covered. But there isn't the process that we 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.359 have in the United States where we get an indictment 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.440 and a detailed charge of what is happening. But as 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.000 it happened after the explosion of documents ordered by Congress. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.240 We have to assume that they found an email from 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.120 Andrew to Epstein, including an attachment of a public note, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.720 and that would be misconducted public official. But it's not 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.320 a criminal statute, it's common law. 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.560 So wait till you get to the sword cases. 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.880 It goes all the way back to sixteen hundred people 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.679 fighting in the wrong places with swords. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.920 So it's a wild kind of a charge, right, but. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.360 It's one that was spoorted out moments ago. Could land 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.680 him in prisoned for an awfully long time if he 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.760 were to be convicted. Analysts are portraying this as a 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.360 huge blow to the British nation and maybe an even 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.520 bigger one to the monarchy, some people going so far 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.360 as to say that this could be the beginning of 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:37.960 the end for the monarchy. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:38.600 What do you think? 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:40.920 I don't. 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.560 I don't agree with that, John, because I think it's 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.360 such an integral part of the United Kingdom and everyone 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.920 else that recognizes Charles as their sovereign. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.320 And head of state. We've had abdications. 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.200 We even go back to Charles the First who lost 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.600 his head to Cromwell and gang. So There have been 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.240 lots of crises in the long and tortured history of 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.480 the British monarch, but England without a king is really 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.400 kind of unthinkable. Charles has got nothing to do with this. 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.680 Charles the third, I'm glad that Elizabeth the second is 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.240 around is not around to say this Mecca. That's deeply 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.560 embarrassing to everyone in the royal family. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:15.720 But it's a pillar of the. 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.920 United Kingdom and those who think it's going to bring 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.840 down the monarchy have been expecting the monarchy to end 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.040 for about a thousand years. 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:23.320 Not going to happen, you know. 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.640 Democrats were pushing so hard to get these Epstein files released, 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.560 thinking that they were going to fall hardest on Donald Trump. 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.840 While the president is mentioned a number of times in 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.840 various documents, there's nothing to suggest that he was guilty 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.840 of any wrongdoing. Meantime, Democrats are falling by the wayside, 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:45.920 including Catherine Rummler, who was the lead councilor for Goldman Sachs. 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.679 After she stepped down. This is what Democratic consultant Michael 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.439 Lrossa wrote on actually say quote and another Democrat bites 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.319 the dust. How many more deeds will be embarrassed dragged 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.680 through the mutter, declared guilty by association. I've lost track 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.400 of the team blue casualty counts so far. But in 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.360 terms of politics, these files continue to embarrass only one 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:07.600 party over the other. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:09.800 What's the end game here? 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.160 Did Democrats shoot themselves full of holes by pushing so 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:14.520 hard for the document's release? 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:17.480 I think they did. John. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.360 The blast radius is so large in getting larger, and 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.120 it seems to be taking so many more Democrats down. 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.400 By the way, it's exonerated Donald Trump. It's absolutely completely 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.720 exonerated Donald Trump. He's got nothing to do with the 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.480 misdeeds of Jeffrey Epstein. But a lot of people who 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.360 were palsy wellsey with Jeffrey Epstein, even though they weren't 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.400 involved with the horrific crimes that he committed. 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:38.439 They're too close for comfort. 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.400 Right now, the head of the Olympic Committee in LA 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.040 is being asked to step down by everyone who lives 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.960 in LA in every adjacent zip code, because they don't 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.240 want to be associated with Jeffrey Epstein in any sort 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.000 of way. Everyone knows he's a sordid, horrible, evil man, 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.120 and so, as I said, the blast radius is large. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.200 The only thing that's going to get this off the 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.320 front pages is when President and Trump begins the attack 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.880 on Iran. And even then we're going to continue to 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.840 hear echoes of this as Andrew goes to trial in 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.280 Great Britain, or at least his release after a thorough investigation. 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:11.640 It's just going to go on and on and on. 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.760 It's real quick. You so sure that the President's going 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:15.680 to attack hern. 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:18.240 I believe he is. 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.000 I think one does not assemble that kind of ar 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.920 mod of that kind of firepower and then not use it. 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.200 If he did that, it would be a shadow on 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.960 his presidency and on his legacy. There is only one 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.559 way out for the capitulate, give up everything, their missiles, 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.840 the uranium. They might even have to leave the country, 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.719 or they're going to be as many holes around the 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.920 Iatolas bunker as there are around the Friends of Jeffrey Epstein. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.719 That was earlier today on Fox. There's always fun to 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.480 be on with John Roberts, who knows what he's doing. 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:51.400 I'll be right back in America. I'm Cecily. Welcome back America. 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.560 I'm you Hewett. Please to welcome Congressman chip Roy to 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.119 the program. Chip Roy is running for Attorney General in Texas. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.160 Early voting has begun. Chip has been a longtime friend 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:02.840 of the program, back to when he was chief of 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.760 staff to Cenator Ted Cruz. He and I get along 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.160 about ninety five percent of the issues. I'm so glad 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.959 he's running for AG because state AG's matter. 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:11.600 Chip. 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.480 I was just thinking of my Josh Holly Eric Schmidt. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.480 Right now, Steve Cox is the attorney general in Alaska. 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.200 I've had so many great friends, David Yosta in Ohio. 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.800 AG's in the states matter a lot. Some people, though, 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.880 would say, why change mause representatives. We are a major 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.240 player for to be attorney general? Why is that? 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.520 Well, Hugh, great to be on the show, And you're right, 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.600 we are great friends. And look that give and take 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.400 in those disagreements sharpen us and make us better. 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.400 And I appreciate them. And you're right. 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:45.040 Attorneys general have a great presence in Congress, in the 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.240 Senate former attorneys general who have gone that direction. But 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.400 the reason I'm going in the other directions because look 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.559 after four terms, which I will serve out this year 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.719 in my fourth term, you know, I think I've made 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.240 a big difference, had a big impact, tried to change 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.559 the town. And look, but I'm one four hundred and 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.120 thirty fifth of one half of one third right, and 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.000 as Attorney General, you're one of one. And the state 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.880 of Texas is under direct assault by the radical left, 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.640 by Marxists they want it, George Soros funding you know, das, 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.959 and judges that are lending criminals on the streets our 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.400 border when it's under assault, like Trump's got it under 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.520 control now, but under Biden, my Orcht it was a 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.840 total disaster. And then the Islamification of Texas. It's a 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.440 real thing. It's a real issue. It's well funded. There's 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.760 six hundred different groups that are doing it. And it's 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.920 not just Epic City and all those things, and not 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.880 just care, it's an organized effort in that and election 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.720 integrity and then other issues. The AG's office is really important. 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.760 It's the biggest law firm in the state of Texas. 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.480 It's the number one AG's office in the state of 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.920 Texas in my view. And look Ted Kruz, my former 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.600 boss was the Solicitor general. A lot of our great 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.360 leaders have come through that space. And so I want 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.240 to go home to Texas and fight for Texas because 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:55.800 if we lose Texas, there's no America. 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:56.240 Yeah. 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.320 First time I met Senator Cruz was at Alliance Defending 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.280 Freedom dinner at which former President Jeff W. Bush was 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.839 the guest of honor. I was blown away by the guys. 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:09.880 You know, just complete grasp of everything constitutional? Does this argument? 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.440 Does the debate for Texas depend upon knowing what you're 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.040 talking about? Because you'll win those debates. We might not 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.560 always agree, but you're always prepped. Do they actually know 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.679 anything like what you know your opponents? 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.000 I mean, respectfully and as humbly as I can say it. 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:26.200 No. 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.160 I mean, Look, I've been in the trenches. I've been 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.560 in the fights. I've been in constitutional issues. I was 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.040 a Senate Judiciary lawyer. I'm the former first Assistant Attorney General, 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.320 former federal prosecutor. I'm the chairman of the Subcommittee on 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:41.000 the Constitution. I've worked for Ted Cruz. Look, I've been 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.120 neck deep in this stuff. And I think, look, Hugh, 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.240 I viewed this through a bit of a spiritual lens. 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:47.640 You know, I think you know this that I went 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.400 through cancer fourteen years ago. I at Hodgkins lafoma stage three, 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.000 and I had a four month old daughter and a 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.280 two year old son. God gave me more time on 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.520 this planet. I believe that He's brought me to this moment. 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.240 With the skills in the back that I have and 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:05.280 the tested being someone who's been tested in the fights 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.679 in Washington, I think I'm well prepared to try to 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.959 lead Texas forward at a time when it's really critical that. 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:11.520 We do so. 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.400 So you know, look, those subsidient fights are sometimes hard 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.960 to bring out for the electorate to hear them. You know, 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.960 things get distilled to sound bites and ads. But people 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.680 know me, they know who I am. They know I'm 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.440 an independent voice. I'm ninety nine percent in line with 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.320 the President and support the President's agenda and Speaker Johnson. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.920 But when I disagree, I do it. I'm independent. 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.680 I follow the Constitution, I follow the truth wherever it 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.640 may lead, and if I think I need to stand 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.760 up on that, I'll do it, even if it raises 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:38.160 some political pressure. 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.000 I really don't think Texas can do better for an 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.000 attorney general than chip Roy. And we're on right now 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.120 in every major market in Texas. And I get down 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.560 there enough to and I teach con law and chip 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.400 Roy knows his stuff. Now I want to talk to 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.160 you about the Islamification of Texas, because I read stories 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:53.360 about the ship. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.280 And I can't even believe it. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.160 But then responsible people say no, it's actually that's against 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.000 the establishment clause, and Texas is bound by the establishment clause. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:03.840 What is going on? 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:07.840 Well, well, look, we've got a host of things that 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.720 are happening. I mean, first of all, you and I 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.360 would agree. I'm not going to put words in your mouth, 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:12.880 but I know you all have to know your belief 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:16.320 the Constitution mine too, that the First Amendment is sacker 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.240 sanct and we've got to be very careful to ensure 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.800 that we're not saying anything about what any individual can believe. 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:24.240 Correct your right to your religious expression and so forth. 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.680 But what we are saying is that two things. One, 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.800 you've got a political ideological movement that is very clearly 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.960 a part of the Islamist network, right the Muslim Brotherhood, 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.280 a lot of people that are trying to push that 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.640 not just as a religious doctrine or faith, but as 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.960 a political movement in ideology. We're seeing it unfold in Europe, 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.280 and it's happening here in the United States. We're seeing 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:48.840 it in Dearborn, We're seeing it a little bit with 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:50.640 Mom Donnie now and then that's going to get head 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.200 in that direction. And in Texas it's happening in very 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.720 real terms. There were two Sharia courts. There are Sharia 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.119 systems that were operating in the Dallas for Worth metroplex. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.560 The governor have had to step in front of We're 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.440 obviously dealing with CARE and dealing with the Muslim Brotherhood. 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.920 The Governor's declared his terrorist organizations because of their deep 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.960 affiliation and you know this, remember the Holy found Holy 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:11.480 Land Foundation. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:13.440 Terrorists. Yep. 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.840 Yeah, and they're the unindicted co conspirator from that that's 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:21.040 affiliated with CARE. All of these things are resulting in 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.440 things that you're now seeing with this epic city right 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.360 this compound, this four hunderd acres that they try to say, oh, 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.400 don't worry, it's fine, it's open to anybody, We're not 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.520 gonna have Sharia. But when you start looking at it, 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.840 that's not true. That's why the AG is going after 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.360 them on their deceptive trade practices and other things. We've 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.440 got to expose this. We're in the part of doing that. 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.800 We're going to defend the constitution, but we're going to 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.040 stand up against this political ideological effort to remake Texas 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:45.240 in Islama FI Texas. 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:46.520 Yeah, Chip Roy. 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:48.720 When I first read about that, I thought to myself, 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.960 where is the United States Attorney because that's got to 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.440 violate the Federal fair housing hack. Is the a USA 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.600 or the USA is on your side down there? 0:16:58.200 --> 0:16:58.440 Yeah? 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.440 I believe so, and it'd be fair. I haven't had 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.760 a direct conversation with the US attorney in that district 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.159 up there. Funny enough, when I was a federal prosecutor, 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.040 I lived in McKenny, worked in Plano, worked in Sherman. 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.280 I was right up the road there from where this 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.520 is occurring. You know where epic city is. So we 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.040 need to have that conversation. But I'm certainly alerted. The 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.959 Department of Justice is looking into this. I know Harmeat 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.280 Dylan is looking into this. I know that they're all 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.560 very well aware of what's happening. And I know the 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.119 current Attorney General kN Paxon has been in conversations with 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.320 the Department of Justice. So I'll let them speak to it, 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:31.840 but I know they've been having those conversations. 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.960 Well, let's close with the specifics. When can people early vote? 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.280 When is the primary? And probably going to be a runoff, 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.680 you might get fifty percent plus one. It's possible you're 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.560 that popular, that you're that qualified. But when are people 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.639 voting early? When did they vote in the primary, and 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:45.560 when would a runoff be? 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:47.320 Yeah? 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.240 Thanks, So the early voting started this past Tuesday. It 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.040 runs through this week end at the next week through 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:55.840 next Friday. The actual primary date is March third. You 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.400 know Chiproy dot com. You can follow me chip Roy 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.960 t x chi p r o i X on. 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:02.120 X slash Twitter. 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:04.480 If we have a runoff, it'll be in late May. 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.959 I think it's May twenty sixth or seventh, but anyway, 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.520 late May. We do want to try to win it outright, 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.199 I want to save the money. If we go to 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.879 a runoff, look, we'll go. We'll win it. You know, 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:15.960 if there is a runoff, it'll probably be against a 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.120 guy named mas Middleton who's running a lot of negative 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:21.480 ads on MELL. We'll push back with all due respect. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.720 He's never been in a courtroom, he's never been a prosecutor, 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:25.760 he's never run the AG's office, he's never run a 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:27.840 law firm. And this is the biggest law firm in 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.840 the state of Texas and one of the most important 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.359 offices in the country. So we'll win that race, but 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.120 we're going to need some help and support and money 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.320 and get to the polls. And I appreciate it. And 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.320 you keep doing what you're doing. And like, like you said, 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.720 even when we occasionally disagree, Man, when I have a 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.840 conversation with you, iron sharpens iron. You help me think 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.080 through arguments I haven't necessarily thought through, you know, like 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:47.840 to Save America Act. Some of the issues you and 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.239 I have talked about, and we can I can come 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.879 back on and talk about those and defense and everything 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.159 going on with Ron and everything else. But appreciate you 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:55.720 and appreciate the time to be on the show today. 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:57.720 Yeah, and first thing first, you got to win. 0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.760
