1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: So James tall Rico is the flavor of the month 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: for Democrats. He's their white knight, he's their big savior. 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: He's the one who's gonna flip the Senate blue, flip 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: Texas blue, and right into the sunset as the future 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party because he's so reasonable, so normal, 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: and so moderate. Right right, Well, if you were watching 7 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: Morning Joe earlier today, even they couldn't say it, even 8 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: they had to tell the truth about this guy. 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: But look, I think Joe, the key thing here is 10 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 2: that James tall Rico was cast, was casting increasingly. It's 11 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: still is cast or saying increasingly, but still his cast 12 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 2: is a moderate. There is nothing He's not a moderate. 13 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 3: He's a he is. 14 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: A He and Jasmin Crockett are basically the same positions 15 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: on almost every issue. He's a populist, he's a progressive. 16 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: He's pretty far to the left on a lot of issues, 17 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,319 Speaker 2: but most he's an outsider. And you could see that 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: in the results yesterday where on Tuesday where he basically 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: carried all of the counties that Bernie Sanders carried in 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: the twenty primary against Joe Biden. You cannot think that 21 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 2: people they associated with being a particular with being a moderate. 22 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not a moderate. You're right, although I need 23 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: to take issues with a few things that mister Holman 24 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: just said. There this John Hollman, who you know, listen, 25 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: he tows the party line. He knows what side his 26 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: bread is buttered on. And so for him to have 27 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: to admit this publicly, trust me, it's saying something. The 28 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: fact that he carried every county that Bernie Sanders carried 29 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: is not an indication that in some way he's an outsider. 30 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: It's actually an indication that he is with the establishment 31 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: mainstream of the Democrats these days, because that is the 32 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: establishment mainstream of the Democrats these days. They are Bernie 33 00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: Sanders party. He's one. That's just the way it is. 34 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: Show me a policy that the Democrats are not promoting 35 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: right now that Bernie Sanders hasn't introduced or embraced. So 36 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: that's not an indication that he's an outsider. It's an 37 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: indication that the establishment is with him. In fact, viewers 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: of this show will not be surprised by this statement. 39 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: Increasingly, but Still's cast is a moderate. 40 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: There is nothing. 41 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: He's not a moderate. He is a he and Judjment 42 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: Crockett at basically the same positions on almost every issue. 43 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: That is correct. We told you that they are the same. 44 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: The only difference is that the establishment power players of 45 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: the party determine that this guy had a better chance 46 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: of winning statewide because they can pretend that he's not 47 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: the radical leftist that he is. You can't pretend that 48 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: with Jasmine Crockett. Sorry, too much of a paper trail 49 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: or a video trail or a digital trail, and she's 50 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: not going to play that game. She is who she is. 51 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: This guy can lie better than her. But we told 52 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: you that. That's why the whole Stephen Colbert Democrat Party 53 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: cabal thing happened to help this guy and push him 54 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: over the well, drag him over the finish line, and 55 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: screw Jasmine Crockett. One other things from Heilman before we 56 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: move on. Take a listen to the words being used here. 57 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: But look, I think you're the The key thing here is 58 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: that Jame tall Rico was casting increasingly. It still is cast, 59 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: or saying increasingly, but still his cast is a moderate. 60 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, he is cast. Well that he stumbled over these 61 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: words for a reason. He's being cast. He is increasingly 62 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: being cast. He was cast as a moderate. Yeah, but 63 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: here's the question, mister Heilman, if I could just quickly 64 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: follow up, who's casting him that way? Who is calling 65 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: him that? Who is promoting that, Who is doing specials 66 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: about that? Who is doing segments on cabble? Well, I 67 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: guess I've answered the question. You guys are doing it. 68 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: He's acting like he's removed from this process. I don't know. 69 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: Everybody keeps calling this guy a moderate, the calls coming 70 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: from inside the studio. John, you're the ones who are 71 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: pretending that this guy is a moderate, and he's not, 72 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: as we told you yesterday, and as we will now 73 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: show you the paper trail even further today, because well, 74 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: let's see, how do you know this guy is a 75 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: radical leftist? Well, first, let's talk to the last guy 76 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: who was a radical leftist, who they pretended was a moderate, 77 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: and he was going to be the great savior, he 78 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: was going to flip Texas blue. He was going to 79 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: be the one to finally end the career of well 80 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: at that time, Ted Cruz, that's right, it's the one. 81 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: It's the only it's Beto. 82 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 4: I've never been more excited. I mean, let's start with 83 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: James Tallerco. This is one of, if not the most 84 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 4: talented politicians I have ever seen. Those of us who 85 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 4: have watched his career in the Texas House have known 86 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 4: that he's incredibly talented. But for the rest of the nation, 87 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 4: they got to see him in the closing months in 88 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 4: the most important election of our lifetime. When James tall 89 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 4: Rico wins in November, he will be the fifty first 90 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 4: vote in the US Senate, Texas will. 91 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: Say, it's just so good, guys, He's never been this excited. 92 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: I believe that, by the way, I believe that this 93 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: is the most exciting thing in Beato Rourke's entire lifetime. 94 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 3: Sad. 95 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: Okay, notice the things that are said about James tall 96 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: Rico here real fast gave the country. 97 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 4: I've never been more excited. I mean, let's start with 98 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 4: James tall Rico. This is one of, if not the 99 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 4: most talented politicians I have ever seen. 100 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: He's not an effective legislator, he's not a great American, 101 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: he's not a patriot. He's not an upstanding man of 102 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: great character who has great values, great principles, and great 103 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: beliefs and is looking out for the people of Texas. No, no, no, no, 104 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: I rarely hear those things about James tall Rico. You 105 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: hear that he's a talented politician. Okay, you know who 106 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: else is a talented politician? Anybody who can BSU he's 107 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: really really great pretending that he's something that he's not. 108 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 4: Those of us who have watched his career in the 109 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 4: Texas House have known that he's incredibly talented. 110 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: But talented, that's what they keep saying. Talented. He's really 111 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: good at what he does. Really, what has he done? Well, 112 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what he's done. He's run for office 113 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: and he's won, and he's gotten votes from people who 114 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: sometimes maybe haven't voted Democrat because he's pretended that he 115 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: is a Bible believing Christian and that his radical left 116 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: wing politics are wrapped up in the gospel. Not our gospel. 117 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: Not the gospel according to Matthew or Mark or Luke 118 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: or John. No, the gospel according to James. No, no, no, 119 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: not that James. Not James the Greater or James the Lesser, No, 120 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: James the very much lesser, James Tallerico. So here he 121 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: was on his election night, except in speech sort of 122 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: foreshadowing exactly the world we're living in today. 123 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 3: There is something happening in Texas. The people of this 124 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 3: state have given this country a little bit of hope, 125 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 3: and a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing. 126 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what happens in this 127 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 3: Republican runoff. We already know who we're running against, the 128 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: billionaire mega donors and their corrupt political system. Not any 129 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 3: one politician, not any one political party. We are running 130 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 3: against the broken system and the powerful people who broke it. 131 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: They're scared of the movement we are building. They're gonna 132 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: throw everything they have at us. They're gonna call me 133 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 3: a radical leftist. They're gonna call me a fake Christian. 134 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 3: They'll call our movement on Texan an American. They'll call 135 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 3: us a threat. The only truth is we are a threat. 136 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 5: We are a threat to their corrupt system. Two thousand 137 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 5: years ago, when the powerful few at the top hurt 138 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 5: those at the bottom, that barefoot rabbi didn't stay in 139 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 5: his room and pray. He walked into the seat of 140 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 5: power and flipped over the tables of injustice. 141 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: To those to those who. 142 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: Love this state, to those who love this country, to 143 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 3: those who love our neighbors. It's time to start flipping tables. 144 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 3: Thank y'all for being here, Thank you for being in 145 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 3: this fight. God bless y'all. 146 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 6: Thank you. 147 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, you heard right. He just compared himself to Jesus Christ. Yeah. 148 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: By the way, just for the record, Jesus did not 149 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: flip over the tables of injustice. He flipped over the 150 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: tables of corruption and behavior that was antithetical to God's 151 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: law taking place within the temple, the house of the Lord. 152 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: You know, sort of like when a guy walks into 153 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: a church with a cross behind him and says stuff 154 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: like this. 155 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 6: For me, prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon 156 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 6: with my own whiteness, my own masculinity, my own certainty, 157 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 6: my own ego. It's a never ending process, and it's 158 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 6: a painful process. 159 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it would be a painful process. I would 160 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: think to have to contort oneself with the gospel in 161 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: scripture to determine that Jesus's main teaching is to help 162 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: you confront your skin color. But by the way, what 163 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: color was Jesus's skin? James, watch this with me for 164 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: a moment with a sound down, Am I wrong? Kind 165 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: of a Nick Fuente's vibe? Right? That's weird, but you 166 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: go with it, James, whatever you need to do. He 167 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: talks about Jesus a lot, but the Jesus, mister tall 168 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: Rico knows is well one that is unfamiliar to many 169 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: of us. 170 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 7: How do you think about the competing claims of different religions. 171 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,239 Speaker 7: Do you believe Christianity to be more true than other religions? 172 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 7: Do you believe there to be excusivity in these beliefs, 173 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 7: that they're incompatible with each other. 174 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: I believe Christianity points to the truth. I also think 175 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 3: other religions of love point to the same truth. I 176 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 3: think of different religious traditions as different languages. So you 177 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 3: and I could sit here and debate what to call 178 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 3: this cup, and you could call it a cup in English, 179 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: you'd call it something else in Spanish and French. But 180 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 3: we are all talking about the same reality. I believe 181 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 3: Jesus Christ reveals that reality to us, But I also 182 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 3: think that other traditions reveal that reality in their own ways, 183 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 3: with their own symbol structures. And I've learned more about 184 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 3: my tradition by learning more about Buddhism and Hinduism and 185 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 3: Islam and Judaism, and so I see these beautiful faith 186 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 3: traditions as circling the same truth about the universe, about 187 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: the cosmos, and that truth is inherently a mystery. 188 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: I got to tell you something that since Barack Obama 189 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: have I seen journalists like Ezra Kleine have what can 190 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: only be described as a sensual experience when listening to 191 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: a politician. I think Russialumba used to call them obamass. 192 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: But watch watch Ezra have to take a deep breath 193 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: to collect himself. And I mean a Jeffrey Tuban moment 194 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: may have been happening here. 195 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 3: Watch Buddhism and Hinduism and Islam and Judaism, and so 196 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 3: I see these beautiful faith traditions as did. 197 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: You see that. That's that's a that's a when Harry 198 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: met Sally moment. That that's that's Meg Ryan in the Deli. 199 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: That's I'll have what she's having moment. Look at the 200 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: deep breath and he had to reposition himself. For those 201 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: of you who are listening to the audio only, please 202 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: catch the video. 203 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 3: Just watch Hinduism and Islam and Judaism. And so I 204 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 3: see these beautiful faith traditions as circling. 205 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, of course if I was hitting in Ezra Client's 206 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: seat there, interviewing the fine preacher from Texas. I'd have 207 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: a few follow up questions. That's interesting. Christianity is a 208 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: religion of love, sure, okay, but a very specific love, right. 209 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: You know. God's love manifests through his son, the Messiah, 210 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: the Savior. In fact, that brings up a question, mister 211 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: tall Rico. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the 212 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: Son of God? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is 213 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: the Messiah? Do you believe that justification and salvation is 214 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: exclusively through Jesus Christ our Lord? Would you even call 215 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: Jesus Christ our Lord? I have many questions, so many questions. 216 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: But that's why I'm not sitting in Asra Client's chair, 217 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: I suppose, or more importantly and realistically, why James tall 218 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: Rico isn't sitting across from my chair. Okay, James, give 219 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: us more of your understanding of the gospel. This is 220 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: only the second day after he got the nomination. 221 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 6: I often think when reclaiming symbols. I think about the 222 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 6: American flag. I think the Confederate flag is a symbol 223 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 6: of treason and terrorism, but the American flag is such 224 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 6: a complicated symbol for most of us in many ways, 225 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 6: Like Jesus, like the Cross, it's been co opted and 226 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 6: in some ways that's true meeting has been betrayed. 227 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: Please tell us what you think the true meaning of 228 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: the cross is. We'd love to hear. Do you think 229 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: that atonement is achieved through the Cross? Do you think 230 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: that it is a symbol of salvation? Do you think 231 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: that it is a symbol of triumph over evil? Do 232 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: you think there's such a thing as evil? Do you 233 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: think there's such a thing as sin? Again? I have 234 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: many questions also, what was that first part? Again? 235 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 6: I often think when reclaiming symbols, I think about the 236 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 6: American flag. I think the Confederate flag is a symbol 237 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 6: of treeson and terrorism. But the American flag is such 238 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 6: a complicated symbol for most of us in many ways. 239 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: You ever heard of the six flags over Texas. I'm 240 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: sure you have. Texas is famous because at any given time, 241 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: Texas has had six different flags over its sovereignty. One 242 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: of them is the Confederate flag, another one is the 243 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: American flag, another one is the flag of the Republic 244 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: of Texas. Please tell us about the tyranny and evil 245 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: of those symbols of more, because Texans would love to 246 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: hear it little bit more from our preacher boy. He 247 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: really does love talking about Jesus, doesn't he. 248 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 8: Poverty is violence, pollution is violence, and yes, prison is violence. 249 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 8: Dismantle the system of violence, built something new, something better, 250 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 8: something rooted in love. It's hard to imagine a world 251 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 8: without prisons, but it was also hard to imagine a 252 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 8: world without telegrams and cassette tapes. 253 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 3: Just because it's hard to imagine doesn't mean you shouldn't. 254 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. You're right, hard to imagine a world 255 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: without telegrams and cassette tapes, but the difference is brilliant. 256 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: Technological advances gave us something better and something superior, and 257 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: it was just natural for people to move that way. 258 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: Give me what your alternative to prison is. Please, we're 259 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: dying to hear, in some cases literally dying to hear, 260 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: because if you had your way way, more people would 261 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: be murdered. Pretty incredible. Also, one other things from libs 262 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: who constantly spout these bromides that people like ms now 263 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: hosts and Don Lemon just eat up and have their 264 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: little climax moments over listen because you might notice something. 265 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 8: Poverty is violence is violence, and yes is violence. 266 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what's never violence with these people, violence 267 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: that they can't bring themselves to acknowledge. 268 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: I want us all to be aware of is that 269 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 3: that modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more 270 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 3: than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six, which 271 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 3: honestly represented Hefner surprised me too. Surprised me too, because 272 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: I am you know, I am not well versed in 273 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 3: this this issue area. I'm not a scientist. I'm a 274 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 3: politician a lot worse thaness. 275 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: Oh my lord, Okay, so there are six genders everybody. 276 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: And by the way, he's going to get in trouble 277 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: because last I checked, there were fifty eight genders. So 278 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: he needs to be canceled immediately from the Human Rights 279 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: Commission and other LGBTWOQ plus IAA, et cetera, et cetera. Groups. 280 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: But the best part of this testimony when he was 281 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: a member of the state legislature there in Texas was 282 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: not that he was contending there for the record that 283 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: there are six genders, but how did he reach that conclusion. 284 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 3: I want us all to be aware of is that 285 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 3: that modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more 286 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 3: than two. 287 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: Modern science obviously recognizes that there are more than two. Yeah, 288 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: it's modern science that instructs him on this, And he 289 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,959 Speaker 1: was surprised to learn that there were six genders. 290 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 3: And why issue area. I'm not a scientist. I'm a politician, 291 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 3: a lot worse than a scientist. 292 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's not a scientist. It takes a scientist 293 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: to understand these things. I do love it when science 294 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: is thrown in our face to tell us the absolute 295 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: nonsense of things like this. But you see, we have 296 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 1: to respect mister tall Rico for a couple of reasons 297 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: that I keep hearing all the time. Because he's super 298 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: duper smart. Went to Harvard, don't you know, And because 299 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 1: he was a school teacher. In fact, almost everything he 300 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: says now, especially framed within his understanding of Christianity such 301 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: as it is, is also framed within the context of 302 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: him being a school teacher and being super duper smart, 303 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: Like this moment when he was fighting against a law 304 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: in Texas that had a very simple notion that men 305 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: should compete in men's sports and women should compete in 306 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: women's sports. 307 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 6: Here, before my constituents elected me to this body. I 308 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 6: taught middle school, and my students are the reason I'm 309 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 6: here to make public policy that improves their lives. But 310 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 6: instead we're doing this endangering the lives of some of 311 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 6: our most vulnerable children to solve a problem that doesn't exist. 312 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 3: When she laid out. 313 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 6: This bill in front of the Public Education Committee Represents, 314 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 6: Swanson summed up the justification for this legislation in one sentence. 315 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 6: She said, if one girl loses a game, this bill 316 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 6: is worth it. I guess we just have a different 317 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 6: moral yardstick, because I say, if one trans child dies 318 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 6: to protect someone's damn trophy, this bill is grotesque. 319 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, we do have a different moral yardstick, and 320 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: we'll get to that in a moment if we may. 321 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: But he's so moderate and so reasonable and so measured, 322 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 1: isn't he so? Here he is opposing the idea that 323 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: only men should compete in men's sports and women should 324 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,239 Speaker 1: compete in women's sports. And I apparently he's never had 325 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: the conversations like I've had with young women, one in 326 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: particular out of North Carolina, who got hit in the 327 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: face with a volleyball during a match from a boy 328 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: spiking the ball at her. And she now has permanent 329 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: brain damage the rest of her life because of that moment. 330 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: Don't take a backseat to any of these people when 331 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: it comes to compassion. We are the compassionate ones. I 332 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: promise you. I know that for a fact, because they're 333 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: the ones who insists that they're the compassionate ones. And well, 334 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: they have to lie and play make believe with the 335 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: facts and with science to try to push their agendas through. 336 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 1: But let's just explore the very first thing he said 337 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: here to frame his comments. 338 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 6: Or my constituents elected me to this body. I taught 339 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 6: middle school. 340 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, hear it all the time. He's a middle school teacher. 341 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: He's a middle school teacher. He's a Harvard graduate and 342 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: a middle school teacher. A couple of things that I 343 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: would like to put in front of you so that 344 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: you can chew on them digest them a bit. First 345 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: of all, how many people do you know or have 346 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: heard of that go to Harvard to get a Harvard 347 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: degree that then become middle school teachers? Is that a 348 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: typical career trajectory. Nothing against middle school teachers, but generally speaking, 349 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 1: that's not the end result of an Ivy League education, 350 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: and certainly a Harvard education. Right now, a cynic would 351 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: say that he went to Harvard and then he wanted 352 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: to bolster his resume before he became a career politician 353 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 1: and put himself in front of voters, because you know 354 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 1: who wants to just elect some snot nosed brat from Harvard. 355 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: You have to have something else to talk about, something sympathetic, 356 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: something that will make you super duper emotionally accessible, and 357 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: something that will appeal to women, and also assure that 358 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: you'll get a whole lot of money from a certain 359 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: political group in this country that has very very deep pockets. Hey, 360 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: I know, become a teacher because suburban moms love tea, 361 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: especially in offensive beta boys who become teachers because they're 362 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: so non threatening and so sensitive. And then the teachers' 363 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: union will fund your political career. It's a great idea, 364 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: isn't it. Yes, it is. And that's why he was 365 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: a teacher for how long? How long was he a teacher? 366 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: You keep hearing it all the time, he's a middle 367 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: school teacher. He's a middle school teacher. Can I reveal 368 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: something to you? He was a student at Harvard for 369 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: longer than he was a middle school teacher. I have 370 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: been doing this show with you longer than he was 371 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: a middle school teacher two years. He was a middle 372 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: school teacher for two years before he was elected to 373 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: the Texas State Legislature. This guy is nothing but a psyop. 374 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: He is a creation that even chat GPT couldn't come 375 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: up with. It's a total fraud, and he did say 376 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: one thing that was accurate. 377 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 3: This week, they're gonna call me a radical leftist. 378 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: Yes we are, and you know why. Now you've seen 379 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: all the reasons why. Uh, I'll repeat it again, Jasmine Crockett, Boy, 380 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: they've done you wrong.
