1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: It's that time time time, luck and load. So Michael 2 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Barry Show is on the air. 3 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 2: Out lights. You'll get into Mica week. You gotta feed 4 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 2: a beard. I don't plan to shave, and it's good thing, 5 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: but I just gotta see I'm doing it all right. 6 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: Will you come make me support? It's beating rid of 7 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: un that's the truth. It's neither drinking, no drug indunool. 8 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 2: I'm just doing all right. 9 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 3: It's okay, dad be I know the sun's still shining. 10 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: Close my eyes. It's hard times in the neighborhood. But 11 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: whyking every day? I was driving to the studio this 12 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: morning and I saw carry a guy carrying a scrabble board, 13 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: which is not something you see every day. And I'm 14 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: watching him acting odd, and then he trips and the 15 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: tiles went everywhere, and I pulled up beside him. I 16 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: couldn't help but asked, what's the word on the street. 17 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 2: What's the word on the street? What do you call 18 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: a scientist that studies carbonation? A physicist? A physicist? I 19 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: do that again. Now you know the answer, because I'm 20 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: not a pronunciate ramon. What do you call a scientist 21 00:01:50,400 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: that studies carbonation? A physicist, so prouder Ramona. He's lost 22 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: so much weight. He's finally managed to conquer his addiction 23 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 2: to chocolate, marshmallows and nuts. But it's been a rocky road. 24 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: I say marsh mellow instead of marsh mallow. Does he 25 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: even say marshmallow? Do you know anybody? Can we identify 26 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 2: anybody that says marshmallow? We say marshmallow? Well, I was 27 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 2: starting to think it wouldn't happen. Now it looks like 28 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: it will. Wesley Hunt is in the Senate race, telling 29 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: the Associated Press what I've seen in polling over the 30 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: last few months is people want an alternative, and I'm 31 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: going to give it to them. The uh, the DC 32 00:02:53,320 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: swamp has protected Corning for a long time. That's why 33 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: they tried to take out Paxton, because Paxton has been 34 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 2: for several years eyeing that Senate seat, and so they've 35 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: done a lot of things to try to harm him, 36 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: not at all, unlike what they did to President Trump 37 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: in between the twenty election and the twenty four If 38 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: we can smear him enough, then he'll be wounded and 39 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 2: won't be able to run for president. It didn't work. 40 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if in Texas these smears, allegations, investigations, 41 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: you lawsuits, divorce, all that will affect Paxton or not, 42 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: because much like Trump, he has made the base very 43 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: happy by doing the sorts of things Trump would do. 44 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: And I don't think you can deny he's one of, 45 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 2: if not the best attorney general in the country when 46 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: it comes to the actions he's taken. And I think 47 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: that in a Republican primary, that's what's gonna matter most. However, 48 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: Corning is very unpopular and there will be people who 49 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: don't like Corning. There's really nobody that likes Corning. People 50 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: will tolerate Corning and they end up with Corning, but 51 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: nobody is loyal to Corning. I'm sort of amused when 52 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: I see these ads. They try to a bunch of 53 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 2: small town people, you know, because they try to seem 54 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 2: like real tasting. I'm just so proud that John Cornyn 55 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: and glad to stick with him. He's protecting our border 56 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 2: and my little baby girl, Gigi. And this truck here 57 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: I'm a drive and it's American maid and this house 58 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 2: I'm living in and I'm about to cut my grass 59 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: because I love American and Jesus, John Cornyn, please everybody 60 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: it's so fake and I don't think anybody's buying it. 61 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: So Paxton had to feel to himself. So Paxton versus Corning, 62 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: and we know what the number show. Paxton wins that, 63 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: Corning wins that. Cornyon knows that Paxton wins that. But 64 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: there was a lane and Wesley Hunt saw that for himself. Now, 65 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: as of this summer, it was there were millions of dollars. 66 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: It was one of the biggest adviys in the country 67 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: for a non campaign in a campaign format, and that 68 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: was Wesley Hunt building name ID across the state. The 69 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 2: establishment in DC is saying, oh, it's going to cost 70 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: us a lot of money. It's going to cost the 71 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: state a lot of money. We don't need a spirited 72 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: primary campaign, but we do well now. Hunt is in 73 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: the Associated Press reports. Hunt has been testing the waters 74 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: as a potential third way for Texas Republicans, as Cornon 75 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: and Paxton have weiged a contentious battle of words in 76 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: the media. Since the spring, Hunt and groups supporting him 77 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: have spent six and a half million dollars on advertising 78 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 2: in Texas, according to the ad tracking site ad Impact. 79 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 2: Groups supporting corn however, have spent more than twenty one 80 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,239 Speaker 2: million dollars on television ads this year, according to ad Impact, 81 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: to promote the four term senator and attack Paxton. In 82 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: a September memo, Thune and Scott said that Cordon had 83 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 2: narrowed his deficit with Paxton and that Hunt quote continues 84 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 2: to cling to the false narrative he pushed as a 85 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: justification for his own ambitions. In quote, they said in 86 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: their memo, there never was and never will be a 87 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: tenable pathway for Hunt. It's time for the vanity project 88 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: that would cost Republicans control of the Senate and dilute 89 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: our resources to end. When you're saying of a candidate, yeah, 90 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: he can't win, he can't. He can't beat our guy 91 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 2: that we can control. He can't, he can't win. He 92 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:57,799 Speaker 2: he shouldn't run. People who know understand the message. That's 93 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: a sign of weakness. They've got polling data that's better 94 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: than any polling data they spend a fortune that you're 95 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: going to see published, and that polling data says Republican 96 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: primary voters voters do not want corning. Hunt argued that 97 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 2: it Senate Republicans who are wasting money on resources on corning, 98 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: and resources that can be used in other states to 99 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: hold and perhaps expand the majority. This is not a 100 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: vanity project. This is about giving the people to Texas 101 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: a viable alternative. Hunt told the Associated Press, let's stop 102 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: the exercise in futility and get the right person for 103 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: the job. Well, you've got us basically a six month 104 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: campaign until we get to Super Tuesday in the day, 105 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: the Republican Party primary in the state of Texas. Six 106 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: months is not very long now, one advance, one positive 107 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: for Wesley is that he spent six and a half 108 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: million dollars when he had the few to himself. Six 109 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: and a half million dollars between say, Valentine's Day and 110 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: March first, will not go very far because, as you 111 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: remember how this game plays out, if you're watching TV 112 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: or listening to radio, it's just gonna be ad after 113 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: ad after ad for every campaign, and they all run 114 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: together they stopped having any impact. But Wesley Hunt's been 115 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,559 Speaker 2: basically in a field left to himself for this period 116 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: of time. It's gonna be a very very interesting primary 117 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: because Paxton is very popular. It's gonna be interesting. Indeed, 118 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 2: Matt mccoveac, disgraced former Austin political official who will save that. 119 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: That part now works for John Cornyn, says. Senator Cornyn 120 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: has soared ahead in the latest polling. Really release it 121 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: and we'll win this election. Okay, all right, Saddam Hussein. 122 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: This is going to be the mother of all battles. 123 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: Wesley Hunt is a legend in his own mind. No 124 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: one is happier this morning than the National Democrats who 125 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 2: are watching Wesley continue his kehatic quest for relevancy, costing 126 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars that will endanger the Trump 127 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:25,359 Speaker 2: agenda from being passed. It was only a year ago 128 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 2: that John Cornyn said Donald Trump needs to realize his 129 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: time has passed. The party needs a new nominee. Not 130 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: only is John Cornyan not a partner fan friend of 131 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's presidency, he didn't want him running as of 132 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 2: a year ago. As of last calendar year. They think 133 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: Texans are stupid. And if I have anything to do 134 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 2: with it, I'm going to make sure every Texan understands 135 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 2: that John Cornyn worked very hard and very publicly to 136 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: keep Donald Trump from running for president last year. That's 137 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 2: not twenty sixteen before we knew what Trump was going 138 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: to do if he had his way. A matter of 139 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 2: days ago, he was very public talking to the media 140 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 2: using whatever influence he thinks he has to keep Trump 141 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: out of the race. Ramot, You know when you're on 142 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: a road stop and you get a hankering for something 143 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 2: quick and easy, of course it has to have a 144 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 2: drive through dairy queen. Yeah, that's a good one. You 145 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: get Tacos or hunger Buster. What do you get? You 146 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 2: get the tacos, the good tacos, hunger Buster. That's a 147 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: good choice as well. If there's not dairy quint around, 148 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 2: where do you stop? Water Birder? Okay, why water Bird? 149 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: Because it's always right there. I guess, Sion, I guess 150 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 2: you knew that. Do you have that clip from Vengeance? Oh? 151 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: You know what. You've moved computers, So I thought you 152 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: were looking out the win. You confuse me. You normally 153 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 2: look to your right, you're looking to your left. Here's 154 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 2: the clip from Vengeance. Well theoretically this would, but now 155 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: we'd be listening. 156 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 4: Tell me something that you love about where you live. 157 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 2: Water Burger? 158 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 4: Okay, great, tell me about it right now? Yeah, all right, 159 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 4: you want to know, Just tell me about it. 160 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: You're gonna love water Burger. Ben Oh, it's the best. 161 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: What makes it the best? Wherever you are, there's a water. 162 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: Burger, Yeah, it's always right there, Okay, And then when 163 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 4: you get there, what do you like about it? 164 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 2: What do you get? Whatever you want? Whatever you want. 165 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 4: Then, right, But there are a lot of places like that. 166 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 4: So let's say there's a McDonald's, a Burger King, a Sonic, 167 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 4: and a Waterburger all lined up. 168 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 2: Which one you go to? 169 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 4: Water right? 170 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: Right? 171 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 4: Why? But they're all right there in this scenario, they're 172 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 4: all right there. So what do you get out of 173 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 4: water Burger? What makes it better to you? What are 174 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 4: you getting? 175 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 3: Ask him why you love water Burgers, like asking why 176 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 3: you love Christmas or summer night or why you love 177 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 3: your dog. I mean, you could point to the reasons, 178 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 3: but the reasons aren't really the point. You just love it, 179 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 3: and that's how love works. 180 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: Well, the Voice of the water was fired, even though 181 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 2: he was a Californian. He had captured the essence of 182 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: the Texas Burger joint, the down home feel, and when 183 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: Waburger sold out, they got rid of him. Well, John 184 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: Cornyn is sold out, but it sounds like his campaign 185 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: has hired the voice of the Whataburger commercials back when 186 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: they were using that, and now he is very eager 187 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: for you to believe that he is one of Trump. 188 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: John Wayne mccarnyon. He once balanced the budget at home 189 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 1: with his wife. When he enters a room, he's there. 190 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: He once started a fire just so he could fight 191 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: another FIREQUI refuse to bte him out of respect for 192 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: his best good friend Donald J. Trump. He's never been lost. 193 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: He just navigates the political wins. Like Magellan. Lobbyists declare 194 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: him on their tax returns as a dependent. He doesn't 195 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: drain the swamp. 196 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 2: He is the swamp. 197 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: John Wayne mcconneck, he's. 198 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 2: One of us femails coming in. Can Wesley Hunt win, Well, 199 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 2: anyone can win if you get into a race. You 200 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 2: can't win if you don't run. I would. At this point, 201 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 2: it's early. There are a number of things to consider. 202 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: So he'll have to give up his congressional seat because 203 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: he won't be able to run for reelection in March 204 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 2: in the congressional seat he currently holds, which w will 205 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: pop open a congressional wide open congressional seat in a 206 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: solidly Republican district. I would argue that district was created 207 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 2: for him. So it is. It's the kind of district 208 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: it's hard to win in a primary, but once you 209 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: win in the primary, you're secure in a general and 210 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: that means that you can go to Washington, d C. 211 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: Without having a challenge every November. You just take care 212 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 2: of your base and you can hold a seat like 213 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: that for a very long time, which allows you to 214 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 2: do things on the national scale, to take on very 215 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: controversial issues as long as you are right with the base, 216 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 2: because the Democrats can't nab you and nip at you 217 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 2: come November. Running statewide in the state of Texas is 218 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 2: extremely difficult. Six and a half million dollars sounds like 219 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: a lot of money to build your name idea, and 220 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: that's what they've been trying to do. But we're still 221 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: talking about a major a large city with several major 222 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: media markets. You've got to buy media in the Dallas 223 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 2: for work area, You've got to buy media in the 224 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 2: San Anton Austin area. You've got to buy Houston media, 225 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 2: which that's going to be his strongest suit. That's where 226 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 2: he is. West Texas, South Texas. They're thirty eight congressional districts, 227 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: so less than three percent of Texans have ever voted 228 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: for you. Not to say it can't be done, but 229 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 2: it's it's a tough thing to do. It's been done before, 230 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 2: but it's it's going to be a tough race. Classic 231 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: case of FAFO. Caul comes in yesterday to HPD. There 232 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 2: is a Hispanic man. We don't know if he's illegal yet. 233 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: Hopefully we'll get that information today. I expect that he 234 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 2: will be, but we'll see. With an AR fifteen firing 235 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 2: off rounds yesterday in the northeastern part of the city, 236 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: officers arrived approach cautiously. He's firing at various people and indiscriminately. 237 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: He hops up on a vehicle to get a better 238 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 2: vantage point from which to shoot. The officers. They emerge 239 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: with their long guns and put him down like the 240 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: rabid dog he is. So that's one less person terrorizing 241 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: our community, and that is a good thing. A Union 242 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 2: Pacific train stuck on the tracks in the Galleria area, 243 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: blocking San Philippi, West, Timer and Richmond from ten o'clock 244 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: on Friday until three point fifteen in the afternoon. A 245 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 2: Union Pacific spokesman confirmed that the train was experiencing a 246 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 2: mechanical issue and was blocking those streets. Just east of 247 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: the West Loop. All three crossings are heavily trafficked, and 248 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: traffic was backed up about a mile for much of 249 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: the day. Officials did not give details on what the 250 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 2: mechanical issue was. When I was mayor pro ten I 251 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: was able to work with Bill White on a couple 252 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 2: of things, several things actually, that we both agreed on 253 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 2: and were passionate about, and one of them was Union 254 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 2: Pacific is damn well going to stop blocking our streets. 255 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 2: You have to start with. This is not a uniquely 256 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 2: Houston problem, but it is a Houston problem more so 257 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 2: than most big cities. And the reason is we have 258 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 2: the most what are called at grade crossings. In many 259 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 2: parts of the country, the road is sunken to go 260 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 2: under a train track, or it's elevated to go over 261 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: a train track like an overpass, or the train track 262 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 2: is sunken or elevated. What you don't want is cars 263 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 2: and trains crossing perpendicularly at grade at the same level, 264 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 2: because now when the train is coming through, you're going 265 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: to stop traffic, and a lot of products are still 266 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 2: moved by train way more than you would imagine. In fact, 267 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 2: most of the time when you see an eighteen wheeler, 268 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 2: and you think, well, that's how goods are moved. That's 269 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 2: actually how goods are finished. They're brought to the country 270 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 2: in shipping containers and then they're traffic to the major 271 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 2: hubs of the country in railroad cars, and from there 272 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 2: they're take to their final destination, which is in the 273 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 2: middle of a block by an eighteen wheeler. So all 274 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 2: three of those touched most products. Well, for a very 275 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: long time, Union Pacific had done whatever they wanted, whenever 276 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 2: they wanted, however they wanted, or as long as they wanted, 277 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 2: without ever being questioned. And the belief was, well, they're 278 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: the federal railroad. You can't do anything to stop them. 279 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 2: Nobody has the power to stop them. And that goes 280 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: back to almost two hundred years ago when the railroads 281 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 2: were expanding across the country. Railroad expansion meant the expansion 282 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 2: of the country before we occupied the entirety of the 283 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: what are now the forty eight states on this continent, 284 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 2: and nobody was able to stop them. They were able 285 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: to accumulate whatever land they wanted, and they were able 286 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 2: to operate with impunity. And the theory went, you didn't 287 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 2: want the locals to be able to stop this great 288 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 2: westward expansion in this country, and that's how we were 289 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 2: going to grow and develop and did. But over that 290 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 2: period of time, they grew very arrogant because they could 291 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 2: not be questioned, and so without anyone to ever actually 292 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 2: hold them accountable, they simply began running their businesses if 293 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: no one else mattered. And so Bill White and I 294 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: start working together, and Union Pacific wouldn't even meet with us, 295 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: the mayor and the mayor pro tem of the fourth 296 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 2: largest city or asking you for a meeting, and you 297 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 2: won't even come meet with us. That felt weird. You 298 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 2: got a lot of crossings through this city. So we 299 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 2: decided that we were going to go Tony Busby on him, 300 00:21:54,920 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: and we began hurling mud at them. We began getting 301 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: very nasty with them in every way possible, using every 302 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: resource at our disposal. It's what Trump would have done. 303 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: And so eventually six months into this, they realized, oh, 304 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 2: we better have a meeting. So they finally show up 305 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 2: to the meeting, whereupon they tell us, you have no 306 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 2: authority to regulate us. You have no authority to tell 307 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: us when we can stop our trains and when we can't. 308 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 2: So we said look one way or another, you're going 309 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 2: to stop. You're going to end the process of stopping 310 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 2: your trains blocking our major thoroughfares. And so what we 311 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 2: did we had HPD pulled all this data, but the 312 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 2: better story was the anecdotes. I used to tell this 313 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: story publicly a lot. If you drive down Memorial westbound 314 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 2: out of downtown, you will come through Memorial Park. Some 315 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: of you made that drive. That is the parkway model, 316 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 2: based on a fellow named Moses, Robert Moses, out of 317 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 2: New York. The parkway model of people being able to 318 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 2: move from the downtown, which is what used to be 319 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 2: the big commercial hubs, it's much less so now into 320 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: an interior suburb or the perimeter of your city. And 321 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 2: these broad parkways. It was meant as a more beautiful 322 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 2: way to get home without getting stuck on the freeway. 323 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 2: So instead of taking Ien, you would take this parkway. 324 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: This parkway brings a lot of people in in the 325 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 2: morning and unloads a lot of people in the evening. 326 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 2: When Union Pacific had gotten worse and worse and worse 327 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: about blocking that particular crossing, one day call comes in 328 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 2: that the train has been out, has been out of commission, 329 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: were told because that's what they just claimed out train 330 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 2: broke down. It's not true. The train didn't break down 331 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 2: on that day for almost two and a half hours. 332 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: The train conductor who came through, they got women in 333 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 2: every city. He stops his train, gets out of his train, 334 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 2: goes and gets in a woman's car. They drive to 335 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 2: a hot sheet motel and have a conjugal visit. All 336 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: in all, that train blocked the road for about two 337 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: and a half hours. So this was the story we 338 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 2: went public with. And of course we're calling congressmen on 339 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 2: both sides of the aisle. Turns out Republicans and Democrats 340 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: have constituents who don't want to be stuck in traffic 341 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: because of the arrogance of Union Pacific. And I will 342 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: say that during our time there they knocked that nonsense off, 343 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 2: but clearly they haven't again. So Whipmeyer needs to let 344 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: them know how the caw ate the cabbage because you 345 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 2: deserve better. You shouldn't be stuck in traffic because Union 346 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 2: Pacific or a bunch of arrogant asses. 347 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 5: Morning suits to coordinating accessories. 348 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 2: Joe Roberts writes, pot call Kettle, you're one of the 349 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 2: most arrogant asses there is. I always enjoy when someone 350 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 2: who I already can tell I don't like does not 351 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 2: have good command of the English language, because it just 352 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 2: further demonstrates their stupid you not mark you not. Don't 353 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 2: they think good? Arrogant? I am one of the most 354 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 2: arrogant asses there is, and that is absolutely true. However 355 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 2: you define arrogant, I am arrogant. Here is the difference 356 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 2: when I criticize Union Pacific for being arrogant. The important 357 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: thing to remember there is if a guy lives up 358 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 2: in the woods and in his cabin up in the 359 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 2: woods where he never interacts with anyone, he is extraordinarily arrogant. 360 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter to me or anyone else. Arrogance in 361 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 2: and of itself is not a problem. The arrogance of 362 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 2: Union Pacific is not offensive because they are arrogant. It 363 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 2: is because that is the best word to use for 364 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 2: the fact that, when asked to be good corporate neighbors 365 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 2: and share the public space, you know, not leave people 366 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 2: waiting for five hours on a road because you leave 367 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 2: your train abandoned or your driver takes a nap or 368 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 2: has a conjugal visit. That let the reaction that says 369 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 2: I don't care about the people. People can be stuck 370 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 2: in the road. I don't care if they were rushing 371 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: to the hospital, if they're trying to pick up their kus, 372 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 2: if they're rushing to a job interview, if they have 373 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 2: groceries they're trying to get home with. I do not 374 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 2: care when someone does that. Arrogant is, in fact the 375 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 2: word that is used. It's not arrogance in and of 376 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 2: itself that is problematic. It is the fact that they 377 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 2: are arrogant in the face of a criticism. But I 378 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 2: think Joe is probably one of those people that's sitting 379 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: at home choking on his boogers, who already doesn't like 380 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 2: us anyway. And so you you're arrogant. You got arrogant too. 381 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: You you are arrogant, Yes, yes I am. But in 382 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 2: this case it's not bothering you because you can turn 383 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 2: the dial, you jackass. Houston Chronicle has filed a Freedom 384 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 2: of Information Act request to get Lena Hidalgo's text messages, 385 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: and they did because old Lena. Now she's going to 386 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: rape the taxpayers for every possible penny. She uses a 387 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 2: government phone, she's not paying for her own. She's the 388 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 2: queen which means her phone and her text messages are discoverable, 389 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 2: and the fred of Information Act request shows that she 390 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: had planned to leave the September ninth budget meeting early, which, 391 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 2: of course we know she stormed out to attend a 392 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 2: Hans Zimmer concert. Do you know who Hans Zimmer is? 393 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 2: Who is Hans Zimmer? 394 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 5: Oh? Oh? 395 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 2: The conductor? Okay? 396 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 5: No? 397 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 2: Who is it? 398 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 5: Is? 399 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 4: That? 400 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 2: Really? 401 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 5: It? 402 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 2: He writes music for movies like what like at John 403 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 2: Williams type gun? Uh? John Claude vun dem huh? Christopher Nolan? 404 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: And who is Christopher Nolan? Uh? 405 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 5: Oh? 406 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: Oppenheimer? Okay, okay uh. So she wanted to go to 407 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 2: that concert, and she was going to go to that concert. 408 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 2: So when she says to everyone, I can't stand this anymore, y'all, 409 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 2: you don't care about the children, and gets up and 410 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,959 Speaker 2: storms out, supposedly because she was upset they didn't care 411 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 2: about the children. She was already going to leave. It 412 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 2: was all a ruse, and text between her and her 413 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: chief of staff indicated that the judge had planned to 414 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 2: leave the meeting at five point forty five so she 415 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 2: could buy merchandise, which she did. Adrian Garcia and the 416 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 2: other commissioners said, Garcia said, none of us chose a 417 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 2: concert over our constituents. This behavior is disappointing, to say 418 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: the least. I couldn't help it. I read the text 419 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 2: message exchange with her chief of staff yesterday and she 420 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 2: says in one of her text messages to her chief 421 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 2: of staff, I can't remember the name of her dog 422 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 2: feefee or I mean her cat. But not surprising, because 423 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 2: she's crazy. She says that she's bringing her cat to 424 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 2: the concert. Uh. Yes, here she was storming out. Now 425 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: remember now you know she was going to leave at 426 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 2: that time. Anyway, the storming out, she had to have 427 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 2: an excuse because she couldn't just say, hey, guys, I'm 428 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 2: supposed to be chairing this meeting. This is the people's business. 429 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 2: It's a regular scheduled meeting. I'm going to a concert. 430 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 2: So instead she creates this whole smoke screen and stands 431 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 2: up and marches out on her way to the concert. 432 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 5: I would like to move to restore. Since we're not 433 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 5: cutting anything, I would like to restore all departments to 434 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 5: their full fiscal year current level of service budgets. Since 435 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 5: everybody says we're not cutting any services, then we should 436 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 5: just have the current level of service repeated for next year. 437 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 5: So I would like to see if my colleagues are 438 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 5: willing to have the same level of services next year 439 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 5: as we've had this year. I would like to vote 440 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 5: that all departments keep the same level of service. Do 441 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 5: I have a second for all departments to keep the 442 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 5: same level of services? 443 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 2: I think, well, we can't do that because the money 444 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 2: has to come from somewhere. Right this process we've set up, 445 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 2: I'm for it, but we can't do it. 446 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 5: So when the decision, well, I just want to make 447 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 5: it clear that three colleagues here they say there are 448 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 5: no cuts, but they're they're not willing to second emotion 449 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 5: to keep the current level of service. So that means 450 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 5: so that means there are cuts. It's for colleagues that 451 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 5: don't want to okay, and so Judge, yeah. 452 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 2: We bought it at that time. Now when you say anyone. 453 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 5: You can, well, I'm just not gonna vote for these 454 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 5: additional I'm not gonna vote for this whole and im 455 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 5: and I'm not gonna vote against my constituents interests. You 456 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 5: represent a certain part Commission Raim's gonna respect that, but 457 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 5: the rest of us ran on something else, the whole county. 458 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 2: We got about five more items, right. 459 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna let you continue 460 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 5: with the court. I don't want to be a part 461 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 5: of this nonsense. All right, thank you. 462 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 2: So she tried to act like she was leaving on 463 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: a principal basis, but she was leaving anyway. And what's 464 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 2: interesting about all of this is it's Joe Biden all 465 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 2: over again. Because Lena Hidalgo will not be the Democrat 466 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 2: nominee to be the county judge next year. It'll be 467 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 2: an East porker. And the moment she's gone, and maybe 468 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: before she's gone, but certainly when she's gone, the people 469 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 2: who put her in there will come out and admit 470 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 2: she was crazy, like boil your rabbit crazy. She's psychotic, 471 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,959 Speaker 2: she's not very smart. She never learned the job. She 472 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 2: doesn't understand the job. She was petty, unqualified and never 473 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 2: grew into the job that was handed to her. But 474 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 2: you supported her and you defended her. You know, you've 475 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 2: got these Democrats now who are saying, you know, Joe 476 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 2: Biden was basically brain dead. But I didn't want to 477 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 2: say anything because I didn't want to help Trump. I 478 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 2: didn't want to say anything because I didn't want Democrats 479 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 2: to be mad at me, So they are all responsible 480 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 2: for having put her into This is Joe Biden all 481 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 2: over again again. We've got people who don't need to 482 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 2: be in these positions who were there
