1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: Tish groundhof Day, Happy Monday to you. Hope you get 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 1: a wonderful weekend. I enjoy this weather. It makes me 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: want to get out and do things, as opposed to 4 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: our August heat, which just SAPs me of my energy. 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: This weather and the breaking of this weather and the 6 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: beginnings of spring. Ah, this is a time. I know 7 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: that it's in vogue to criticize the weather wherever you live, 8 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: particularly if that is Houston, But if you were to 9 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: actually look on a chart at the number of pretty 10 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: days that we have, we have a lot of pretty 11 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: days in Houston. Our summers are brutal, there's no way 12 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: around that. We have a lot of really pretty days, 13 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: and we had some of those this weekend. So other 14 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: than the fact that you're going to have a high 15 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 1: water bill from running your tap, these are good times. 16 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: I have said for those of you who've listened over 17 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: the years, and many of you have been with us 18 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: for a very long time, grateful for that. Fore like 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: we've developed like we're family at this point. I have 20 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: said many times over the years, and you've heard me 21 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: say it, that we don't talk politics every day, we 22 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: don't talk serious stuff every day. We might mention a 23 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: story in the news and offer some commentary upon it, 24 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: and when things are important, I will discuss that. But 25 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: what I have said again and again is that I 26 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: want you to know that when I get serious about subjects, 27 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: it is because it is time to be serious. It 28 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: is the season. It is the fourth quarter, two minutes left. 29 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: This is game time. This is where it comes down to. Well, 30 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: we have entered that period of time for the primary season. 31 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: Both the Democrats and the Republicans will begin early voting 32 00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: on February seventeenth, which is two weeks from tomorrow, and 33 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: there will be early voting from the seventeenth through the 34 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: twenty seventh with I hate this term Election Day on 35 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: March third. I hate this term because every year there 36 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: will be someone who says, oh, I could have voted 37 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: before election day. Many people will say I'm going to 38 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: wait until election day to vote because that's the day 39 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: of the election. In most races, the election is all well, 40 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: it's not true. In many races, the election has already 41 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: won or lost before election day based on the votes 42 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: that are cast. And I want to encourage people to 43 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: get out and vote, particularly because we're going to have 44 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: as seems like we always do these days. We're going 45 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: to have some brutal elections come November. President Trump's House 46 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: majority is razor thin, and we're going to have to 47 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: work very hard for Republicans to defeat Democrats in November, 48 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: and we're stuck with whoever wins these primaries, no way 49 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: around that. I will be supporting the Republicans, no doubt 50 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: about that. However, it'll be October and many of you 51 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: will say, gosh, I don't like our candidates. All right, 52 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: me neither. This is the chance to do something about that. 53 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: And the good news is with the primary, most people 54 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: don't vote, even Republican voters. General election voters don't vote 55 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: in the primaries. There are very few people who vote 56 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: in the primary, and so that makes your vote weighted higher. Look, 57 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: if there's three people voting, you're one third of the votes. 58 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: You get one other buddy to vote with you, and 59 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: you get to decide the election. But if thousands and 60 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: thousands of people vote come November, and they will, it's 61 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: an off season, it's midterm, halfway through the president's presidential term. 62 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: A lot of people only vote during presidential races every quadrenial. 63 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: So even this November, your vote is weighted more heavily 64 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: than it will be during the quadrenial or in the 65 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: presidential election. Now unfortunate thing is as Republicans, and we've 66 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: got to work hard to fix this. We can't simply 67 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: complain about it. You and I have to work hard 68 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: to fix this, and that is that the Democrats have 69 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: historically shown up in the midterms better than we have now. 70 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: We had twenty ten, we had twenty twelve. We had 71 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: some exciting midterms when the Tea Party came about, and 72 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: we got excited. But I'll remind you what happened the 73 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: last time we had a midterm twenty twenty two, and 74 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: we were supposed to have the red wave, and we 75 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: didn't have it. We didn't get our people out to vote. 76 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: So there's really no point in saying that our neighbors 77 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: are idiots or lazy or no counts, or whatever our 78 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: other excuses are. It is time that we put our 79 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: serious face on and we get about the business of 80 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: electing the best Republicans we possibly can, because that time 81 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: is upon us. I will not be endorsing candidates per se, 82 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: but I will tell you who I am either voting 83 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: for in those races where I get a vote or 84 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: whom I suggested vote is for. And uh, I have 85 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: some of those early names. I know some of you 86 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: are very upset. I haven't released that list yet. Well, 87 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're gonna do with it just yet. 88 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: You can't vote until two weeks from tomorrow. I am 89 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: endeavoring to release that by the end of this week 90 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: or at the latest early next week. But hopefully at 91 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: the end of this week. You got you got yours coming. 92 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: Oh you're you're releasing your list? Oh really, what is 93 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: your list based on? Oh? Oh yeah, no, here's here's 94 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: Ramone's list. Oh yeah, vote for old Bob Smith. He's 95 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: a uh, he's a nice guy. He uh I met 96 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: him one time. Yeah, I got text. Uh it's from 97 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: his campaign and uh I saved it. He's a he's 98 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: a nice cha assmen. But he says he's patriotic, loves 99 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: America and Donald Trump. Be like Crenshaw John Corner. He's 100 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: been knifing Trump and back. You know, want me to 101 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: get to those votes. In just a moment, Cornyan keeps 102 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: talk about looking bad. I mean you almost feel sorry 103 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: for him. Yep, I asked the President to endorse me again. 104 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: He's not doing it. Maybe you ought to stop talking 105 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: about that, Cornyn, You look like a fool. There's a 106 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: reason he's not doing it. Oh, by the way, we'll 107 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: have Wesley Hunt and Ken Paxton on the show today. 108 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: Hopefully Ramond will not distract me as much as usual. 109 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: But no promises. Are listening to Michael Barry's shaw to 110 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: this Groundhog Day today at this point, these are the 111 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: folks that I am recommending for folks to vote. Do 112 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: your own If you have a relationship, if you have 113 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: knowledge of a candidate, experience with the candidate, positive or negative, 114 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: obviously do your own thing. I'm not suggesting that you 115 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: take my guidance. In some cases, I've not met these candidates. 116 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: In some cases I know them very well. I have 117 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: endeavored to triangulate information based on searches of issues, based 118 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: on lies that I know. We're told based on votes 119 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: where someone backstabbed our movement. It's an imperfect science. We're 120 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: talking about human beings, after all. We're talking about human 121 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: beings with their own records, with their own pasts, and 122 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: with their own intentions for the future. We're talking about 123 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: human beings who get to the office having made promises 124 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: and allegiances with various interests, and so I wish it 125 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: were simpler than this, but it's simply not democracy or 126 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: a democratic republic. A democratically elected governing body at every 127 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: level is a difficult thing, but it beats the alternative. 128 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: So I suspect I will make no friends and some 129 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: enemies from here until election day, and then in time 130 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: we'll get over it. But here we go in the 131 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: US Senate race. By the way, we'll have Wesley Hunt 132 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: coming up at nine and Ken Paxton at ten to 133 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: discuss the fact that the Cornin swamp out of DC 134 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: has taken to attacking Wesley Hunt. They're attacking him very 135 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: very badly. Now, this is incredibly cynical. I don't take 136 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: this personally. I don't let it depress you me some 137 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: of you do. The swamp is now saying, and get 138 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: ready for this. This is a Carl Rove move because 139 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: he's a big Cornin. He's part of the corn and 140 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: brain trust. Such as it is. They are now saying 141 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: Wesley Hunt is not a good Trump supporter. Really, Okay, 142 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: of all the things, the people who worked to get 143 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: NICKI Haley elected last year year instead of Donald Trump, 144 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: the people who have backstabbed Trump at every turn, are 145 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: now saying that of one of Trump's favorite people, which 146 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: is Wesley Hunt, that he is not a good Trump 147 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: supporter and trying to tell the people of Texas that 148 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: that's rich. Now, that's rich. However, that doesn't mean it 149 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: will be ineffective. That's a scary thing. That doesn't mean 150 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: that it will be in effective. It sometimes works, particularly 151 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: in a low information environment. So in the US Senate 152 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: seat Wesley Hunt, Ken Paxton, John Cornyn, I am recommending 153 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: there will be a runoff. I am recommending a vote 154 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: for Wesley Hunt or Ken Paxton. There are a number 155 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: of people who are with Wesley Hunt because they don't 156 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: like Cornyn and for whatever reason they don't like Paxton. 157 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: There are a number of people who don't like Cornan 158 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: who are committed to Paxton based on his record as 159 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: Attorney General, who will be with Ken Paxton. We'll talk 160 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: about the race at the point at which it is 161 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: a runoff. My ideal runoff scenario would be Wesley Hunt 162 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: and Ken Paxton, because then we win, the swamp loses, 163 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: and other senators and other congressman see what happens when 164 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 1: that happens. Yes, it is a weak position not to 165 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: choose a candidate right now. My goal is to bounce 166 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: John Cornyn. As long as you vote for Hunt or Paxton, 167 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: you help accomplish that goal. In Congressional District to the 168 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: seat currently held by Dan Crenshaw and his cease and 169 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: desist lawyers and his big ego and his questionable remarks 170 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: from he would kill Tucker Carlson. He said that to 171 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: a reporter, like to kill him. Wow to the little 172 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: girl who asked why he referred to Jesus as a 173 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: superman archetype, a mythological figure, and then scolded this seventeen 174 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: year old girl at a town hall mining. Although I 175 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: did notice one thing about Crenshaw. He's out and about 176 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: the district this weekend. They're posting, Oh, it was so 177 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: good to be amongst the commoners and peons and piss 178 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: ants and peasants. Ah, what a good feeling. Well that's 179 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: odd because you look miserable to be there, and you 180 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: don't appear to have been there before. But hey, it's 181 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: election time. Go tell the good people how much you 182 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: love him. I saw speech he was giving in Kingwood, 183 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: just really really committed to flooding. Yeah, yeah, flooding. Really, really, 184 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: that's what I'm doing up there, worried about flooding. No, 185 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: you're not. You're worried about dragging us into Ukraine, dragging 186 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: us into wars, telling us we're stupid and we don't 187 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: understand foreign affairs, and trying to get Afghan refugees reset 188 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: here to come here and rape our women and kill folks, 189 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: which you did along with Sylvia Garcia. Anytime you sign yourself, 190 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: anytime you find yourself signing a letter alongside Sylvia Garcia, 191 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: just know that you're not representing your district. Well. Steve 192 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: Toath in that race, he's been a constitutional conservative. A 193 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: lot of voters just now waking up and realizing that 194 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to bounce Dan Crenshaw. You want 195 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: term limits, you've got it. Vote for Toath over Crenshaw. 196 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: There's your term limit. You don't need a change it. 197 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: Nobody is intending to impose term limits or a balanced 198 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: budget for that matter. You don't have to have term limits. 199 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: You have the opportunity to limit the term of Dan Crenshaw. 200 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: Do it. Steve Toath, constitutional conservative. I think you'll do 201 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: a good job. Representative District eight congressional district. Again, I'm 202 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: taking a weak position there. Jessica Hart Steinmann or Nick Trand. 203 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: I think both of those candidates, from what I understand, 204 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: will do a good job. I don't know Nick Trand, 205 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: but I have folks that do. Patriot apparently a first 206 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: class guy. Steinmann apparently will do a good job. That's 207 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: the two candidates I recommend there is a third candidate. 208 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: District nine. This is one of the new congressional districts 209 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: with the reordering and redistricting. This is a newly created 210 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: district and I think this district will be determined by 211 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: the people of Liberty because neither candidate has been on 212 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: the ballot for the people of Liberty County before. That 213 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: is the eastern end of this congressional district, and I 214 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: think last I saw was about fifteen percent of the vote. 215 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: You've got Briscocaine, a state rep. Who sold his soul 216 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: to try to get Ken Paxton impeached, something that I 217 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: think if voters remember, they will not vote for. And 218 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: probably just as importantly, Briscocaine who took my from Colony 219 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: Ridge and then he denied that he had taken it. 220 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: It's on an official report and at the time. He 221 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: called Colony Ridge the American Dream. He sold out to 222 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: Colony Ridge period end of story. Briscoe Caine sold out 223 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: to Coloney Ridge. Alex Miheler will do a good job. 224 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: I am joining with Tom Ramsey and Mattress Mack and 225 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: a number of leaders in the East End community all 226 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: the way to liberty and supporting Alex Mieler for Congress. 227 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,479 Speaker 1: More coming up.

I will update 248 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: this list. There are some some races that I am 249 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: waiting on feedback from on people that I trust. I 250 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: try to get more than one opinion where possible, so 251 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: as soon as I as soon as I get those, 252 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: I will I will get you answers on those. I'm 253 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: looking for my list, and I had it written down 254 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: here give me just a moment. I don't know what 255 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: I've managed to do with it. I will say this. 256 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: We lost a Republican Senate seat in the State Senate 257 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: this weekend. Kelly Hancock, Republican state senators running to be 258 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: defeated soundly in the comptorer's race and Kelly Hancock's claim 259 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: to fame, because it's all he ever talks about is 260 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: that he's been endorsed by Greg Abbott, and I suspect 261 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: he's going to get his ass whipped and whipped badly. 262 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: Don Huffines, who I am voting for, I think he's 263 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: going to win that race without a runoff. I wouldn't 264 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: be surprised, which is really saying something because there are 265 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: multiple candidates in that race, and the candidates have named 266 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: idea and they have money. It's equivalent to what Donald 267 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: Trump did in twenty sixteen, where he had almost twenty 268 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: candidates and a good twelve thirteen fourteen of those were real, 269 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: legitimate presidential candidates. Ted Cruz in that primary would raise 270 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: more money than any Republican primary candidate had ever raised, 271 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: so he had real money to run that race. Jeb Bush, 272 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: at the point at which he pulled out, had raised 273 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: more money than any candidate had raised. He had the 274 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: Bush money, the Bush endorsement, and the Bush machine behind him, 275 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: and that was two for two before him. That was 276 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: a lot of the national guys. And I don't need 277 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: to remind you had Scott Walker, you had ran Paul 278 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: peeling away some of the Libertarian vote. Marco Rubio was 279 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: a young gun with some support, but Trump managed despite 280 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: all of that, two sort of trapes through that primary 281 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: end get stronger and stronger as each of them dropped out. 282 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: Ben Carson did very well Cruise one. Iowan twenty sixteen, 283 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: I will caut us. Ben Carson came in second. Carson 284 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: had some real support, especially among evangelical Republicans, with Trump 285 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: coming in third there and then going on a tear 286 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: after that. But in any case, interesting times. Indeed, I 287 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: have managed to lose my printed out list. Let me 288 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: see if I can. I'm on fire at me a race. 289 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: Oh I did let me say this before State Senator 290 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: District nine, Kelly Hancock, we lost the or a sitting 291 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: Republican stepped down and ran for comptroller, which he's going 292 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: to lose. That's Kelly Hancock. Don Huffine's will and should 293 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: win in that seat. So we had a runoff to 294 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: see who would win that. I mean, we had a 295 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: special election. It's an odd time. A lot of people 296 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 1: don't pay attention or why why should I be voting 297 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: in you know, late jan in a in an early 298 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: vote in election day, it's hard to get people out 299 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: to vote. The Democrats won that race, Taylor Remmitt winning 300 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: against Lee Wham's gans. I saw somebody that was at 301 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: the event. I think it was Tony Ortiz with current Revolt, 302 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: who went around asking people. He said why they had 303 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: why they thought the Republican had not won in a 304 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,959 Speaker 1: seat that is solidly Republican. And one answer was it 305 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: was a funny last name. If we had reached, if 306 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: we have reached the point in the life of our democracy, 307 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: our democratic republic, that people don't vote considering what's at 308 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: stake today, people don't vote for the Republican over the 309 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: Democrat because Republican has a funny name. We got bigger 310 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: problems than Democrats, don't we. Wow, Williams Gams is a 311 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: pretty awful name for the ballot, I will say that. 312 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: But it was an absolute ass with me fifty six 313 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: to forty three. Why well, I'll tell you because Alan 314 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: Blakemore was running the Republican race. There. Alan Blakemore, who 315 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: used to be my nextraor neighbor and was ostensibly the 316 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: political consultant on mayor on my mayoral race until he 317 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: had an absolute meltdown and tried to get in a 318 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: fight in the elevator. Alan Blakemore was struggling at that time. 319 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: Now he would have worse problems than that, including when 320 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: the woman who ran the finances in his office and 321 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 1: they took all the campaign dollars from candidates their election 322 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: ounce the money that they raised and then were used 323 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,239 Speaker 1: on campaigns, so that blake Moore had it in his 324 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: bank accounts. He had such great systems in place that 325 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: a woman who was working for him stole all their money. 326 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: That was sort of an awkward situation there, and egg 327 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: on his face, which was why I didn't let him 328 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: manage my money. But Alan Blakemore, to his credit, has 329 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: created along with Dan Patrick. Blakemore ran the race against 330 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick. He ran Joe Mixon's race, who was a 331 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: state rep running for state Senate against Dan Patrick. This 332 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: was years ago, and they ran a very nasty race 333 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: about Dan Patrick. I mean they hit Dan Patrick below 334 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: the belt literally. They went into some stuff related to 335 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick's pants being off. It was a second mill 336 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: on air, but they went into it. They went really 337 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: really really nasty on air, and somewhere after that, Dan 338 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: Patrick decided that guy was so personal in his campaign 339 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: against me. I'd rather hire him than have him running 340 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: a campaign against me. So Dan Patrick would eventually be 341 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: elected the Lieutenant governor in an amazing run. He goes 342 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: from being a sports talk show host to owning a 343 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: radio station and selling it to then Clear Channel than 344 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: buy another station, and being very successful building a strong 345 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: line up for a very small signal. He ran a 346 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: good business and had a solid following. Uh. He was 347 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: punching above his weight as a small signal at that 348 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: time and and getting some attention and a real hard right, 349 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: hardcore following. I commend him for that fantastic job. And 350 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: then he ran for the state Senate and he shellacked 351 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: the guys, Mark Alis, Joe Mixon. There there were elected 352 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: officials running in that race, and he beat them. And 353 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: then he gets elected attorney, gets elected Lieutenant governor, and 354 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: Alan Blakemore is now running races and lobbying for evil clients. 355 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: And Blakemore screwed that up. There's just no way around that. 356 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: Blakemore absolutely screwed that up. The Carl Rove of Texas 357 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: to screw up. He lost us that election and it's 358 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: an important race that we just lost. Come on, what 359 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: do you call a sleepwalking nun, a Roman Catholic Roman 360 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: nomadic as it were. I saw a ninety year old 361 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: hip hop artist last night. His name is busta hip 362 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: You know what a newt is? How do you know 363 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: what is it? Then? It is an amphibio. It's like 364 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: a little salamander. They call him a true salamander. You 365 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: know where I first heard of a newt. One of 366 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: my favorite authors of all time is PG Woodhouse. My 367 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: father in law got me and I think PG. Woodhouse, 368 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: if I rememor correctly, lived one hundred and two years 369 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: and wrote ninety six books. He was, shall we say prolific. 370 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: He wrote the Jeeves series. For anyone who's heard about 371 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: the series, they were really for kind of English schoolboys, 372 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: but they ended up with an adult following. My fall 373 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: in law had almost every one of the books and 374 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: got me hooked on him. And I haven't read everything 375 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: he's written. I've come close. There are books I can't 376 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: seem to find, and so every time I find a 377 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: Woodhouse book, I buy it for my collection. He also 378 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: had another series called P. Smith, but the P was silent. 379 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: It was spelled P Smith as one word. But he 380 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: would tell you that the p was silent for no 381 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: good reason. It was just a funny little thing. But 382 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: he had a character named Augustus fink Nodel whose nickname 383 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: was Gussie, and Gussie had Gussie collected newts. His characters 384 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: always had kind of silly, goofy things that they did. 385 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: And that was where I first discovered what a newt was. 386 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: So now that you know what a newt is. Man 387 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: walks into a bar with the newt on his shoulder. 388 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: The bartender says, what an interesting pet. What's his name? Tiny? 389 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: The man says, what an odd name? Why do you 390 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: call him tiny? So our endorsements I would like to 391 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: get to so we can focus on that. Let me 392 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: see if I can print this out. I'm still figuring out. 393 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: You know what I bought last night, Ramon, I bought 394 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: a I do this every couple of years, and then 395 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: the end up, I keep thinking of the technology's gonna 396 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: get it good enough, a little binder where I can 397 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: take notes. But because it's digital, it'll it'll the notes 398 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: will be digitalized. What are you doing? Oh, I don't 399 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: have it with me. Uh, it's it's you know, talking 400 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: about the pen. Why are you laughing? Yeah? And the pen. 401 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: It'll it'll record things. Huh, I had one, I didn't 402 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: use it. It was a remarkable Okay. Congressional District twenty two, 403 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: Trevor Nell's brother of Troy Neil's the seat that Troy Nell. 404 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: Troy Neill's is stepping down from Congressional District thirty six. 405 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: That's kind of east of Houston Golden Triangle area. Brian 406 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: Babin Congressional District thirty eight, John Bunk. That is a 407 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: seat being what do you call it when someone leaves 408 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: an office being vacated by Wesley Hunt. John Bonk is 409 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: the candidate I recommend there. Attorney General Aaron Wrights. Rights 410 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: would be the best attorney general out of the group. 411 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: The question is can he get elected. It's a big state. 412 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: You need name id. Chip Roy has name ID. You've 413 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: got a rich candidate in May's Middleton who's pouring a 414 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: lot of money in there. If it comes down to 415 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: Mays and chip Roy, I'll support Mays. But who would 416 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: do the best job. Aaron Wrights and I hope he'll 417 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to do that. He was chosen by 418 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: President Trump to come and join him in d C 419 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: for the last year to be part of his team 420 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: battling the Democrats across the country, and when the race 421 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: popped open with Ken Paxton, Paxton personally said, this is 422 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: the guy who would do the best job. And I agree. Comptroller, 423 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 1: as we talked about earlier, Don Huffines, Commissioner of Agriculture, 424 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: that's a tough seat. That's a tough race. You've got 425 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: Sheets and Sid Miller there. I don't know Nate Sheets. 426 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: I've got a number of friends who really, really like 427 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: Nate Sheets. I've known Sid Miller over the years. Abbott 428 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: supported Nate Sheets, which makes me not want to support him, 429 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: But a number of folks that I know who I trust, 430 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: support him for all the right reasons. So give me 431 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: a couple of days to make a decision in that race. 432 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: Railroad Commissioner Bo French out of Terrant County Court of 433 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: Criminal Appeals, Thomas Smith Court Criminal Appeals, John Messenger State Senator, 434 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,719 Speaker 1: District four. The current district Attorney, Brett Ligan, is running 435 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: in that race. I'd be surprised if he has any trouble. 436 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: Montgomery County is one of the worst places in America 437 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: to be arrested, and the reason is because the district 438 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: attorney will throw the book at you. And there are 439 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: people who complain about that, But that's what the people 440 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: of Montgomery County want, and that's why he was elected 441 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: as district attorney, and that's why he's continued to be 442 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: the district attorney, State Representative District eighty five against Stan Kitsman, 443 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: Dennis Goose, Gessman, or Geeseman. Somebody said to me, you're 444 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: supporting Geese. He can't win. Never forget. My three heroes 445 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: since I was five years old have been Robert E. Lee, 446 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: Davy Crockett, and Jesus Christ. Three men who gave their 447 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: lives at least in the case of Christ, temporarily, Three 448 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: men who gave their lives for principle. I don't mind losing. 449 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: This is not a list of who I think is 450 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: going to win. This is a list who, best I 451 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: can tell, would do the best job in the race. 452 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: I do not care if someone is not winning in 453 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: the polls, or they don't have any money, or it 454 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: doesn't look like they could win. I do not care. 455 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: That is not of concern to me. So understand that. 456 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: So the people who come back, you lost that race, Yeah, 457 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I'm perfectly fine with that. I 458 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: am endorsing or supporting Doc Chambers in the governor's race. 459 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: It would be a miracle on ice if he were 460 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: to beat Greg Abbott. Abbot's got all the money and 461 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: name idea and Chambers doesn't. But Abbot needs to be 462 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: shown that we're unhappy with what he's doing. The only 463 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: way to do that is to vote for his opponent. 464 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: State Rep. One twenty six Polly Looper, State Rep. One 465 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: nine Scott Bowen, Court of Appeals Place three, Zach Gibson 466 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: County Judge, Marty Langton County Clerk, Linda Sanchez County Commissioner 467 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: precinct to Richard Vega Harris County Republican Party Chairman. I 468 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: think Cindy Siegel is a nice PERSON'D be very clear 469 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: on that. I have a problem with her as a 470 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: nice person. He's a good person. He's a nice person. 471 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: I don't think she's cut out for the job of 472 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: party chairman, and I think she has failed and we've 473 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: lost elections and she's not filled every seat. I have 474 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: no intention of trashing her. I don't think she's she's 475 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: dishonest her and I think she's a good person. I 476 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: think she's a decent person. I think Don Hooper will 477 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: get in there and roll his sleeves up and fill 478 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: every seat. I think he will refill the coffers. Republican 479 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: Parties broke, they have no money there. I would like 480 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: to see the Republican Party return to its grandeur of 481 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: ten and fifteen years ago when the Republican Party when 482 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: it was people were begging to be on the ballot, 483 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: rather than leaving wide open seats for the Democrats. So 484 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: Don Hooper for a Republican Party chairman. Propositions one through 485 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: ten in favor of all. The only precinct chairman that 486 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: I am supporting at this point is Mary Tally Boden, 487 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: but there will be more in the next few days. Again, 488 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: I'm going through that list.
