Good morning Michael. This is Dan Crenshaw, Texas. 9 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: Good listen to. 10 00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 3: Good morning Texas, Carnes Strong. We're happy about everything. 11 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: We're not wearing. 12 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 3: Good morning, good morning, text, good morning, weake, that's your god. 13 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: Damn good morning. Let me start by saying that a 14 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: democratic republic is a difficult thing to operate because it 15 00:01:52,320 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 2: requires you to do a lot of work very often. So, 16 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: if you are a person, and the odds are you're 17 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: listening right now, you are. You are the people who vote. 18 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 2: You are the people who study the candidates, ask the questions, 19 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: study their votes, Listen to what they say, Listen to 20 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: what is reported, look at the official records, talk, engage, 21 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: block walk, call post, and you are the reason that 22 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: we get a pulse of the people, especially at the 23 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: primary level. Your vote is an exponential multiplier of the 24 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 2: will of the people. And so the celebrations last night, 25 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: the names in the headlines, the reports that are published 26 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: won't include your name. But for every single one of 27 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: you and all the hard work you do, thank you, bravo. 28 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: Well done. Whether you won or not last night, most 29 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: people choose not to engage, and especially if you are 30 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: a person that doesn't get paid. This is a game 31 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: for a lot of people. The Cornin operatives out of Washington, 32 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: DC were making some very ominous statements last night, threats 33 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: of what they're going to do to Savage Ken Paxton, 34 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: not not physically. This is a game for them, it 35 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: really is. So I thought, well, let me just see 36 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: how people react to that online. And what was interesting 37 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: to me is how many people don't realize that fact, 38 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: because they would say, how. 39 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 4: Can you say that, how can you talk like that? 40 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 4: How can well, let me tell you how those people 41 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 4: don't care about the results as it relates to the 42 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 4: future of our country. This is a game no different 43 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 4: than baseball, football, basketball. 44 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 2: This is a game to them, and that's how you 45 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: end up with bad government. That's how you end up 46 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: with self dealing elected officials. That's how you end up 47 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 2: with incumbents that typically cannot be beaten and so much 48 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: cash that they just drown the opposition, in fact, in 49 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: most cases scaring off the opposition. So thank you that 50 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: you do that. If you are a person who ran yesterday, 51 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: whether for the highest profile positions like Ken Paxton, to 52 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: have the worst things said about you, and they will 53 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 2: get much worse. Trust me, they will accuse him, they 54 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: will drag him. Anything they can do to keep you 55 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: from looking at John Cornyn's record as a United States Senator, 56 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: they will do, and many people, many people will fall 57 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: prey to it. It'll be a challenge, but they will 58 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: do that all the way down to the precinct chairman level. 59 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 2: If you ran, whether you won or not, your willingness 60 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: to get in there, your willingness to have people say 61 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: horrible things about you on social media, at town halls, 62 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: over the back fences and the clothes lines and the 63 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: phone calls. If you didn't do this, process wouldn't work, 64 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 2: So thank you. Let me first go through a quick 65 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: list of how our ballot did while we won almost 66 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: every race, and I say one that being me and 67 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: every one of you who voted alongside me. I'm not 68 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: saying you voted because I voted that way. I'm just 69 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: saying that we happened to share the same vote. I 70 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: don't endorse with the intention of winning. Very often. Sometimes 71 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 2: I will endorse in a race where there may be 72 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: two challengers to an incumbent. I will endorse because I 73 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 2: think maybe that could slightly help that person get over 74 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 2: the hump. But by and large, when I endorse against 75 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 2: Greg Abbott, I don't expect that will beat him. I 76 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: know what kind of cash he's sitting on. I know 77 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: what kind of name i'de he's sitting. 78 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: Oh. 79 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: I know that Pete Doc Chambers was a first time candidate, 80 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: didn't have any money. I'm okay with that. What I 81 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: want to do is send a message. I want the 82 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: elected officials to always wonder should I go that far, 83 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 2: because I can't take some people for granted. And that's 84 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,119 Speaker 2: me and you. In the Harris County Party chairman's race, 85 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: the incumbent, Cindy Siegel, we endorsed Don Hooper, her challenger, 86 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: and Hooper made it into a runoff, so there will 87 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 2: be a runoff. Let me speak to that. That runoff 88 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: this is going to make some of you cringe. Will 89 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 2: be ten weeks from now, May twenty sixth, I believe, 90 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: is the date there will be early voting May eighteenth 91 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: through the twenty second. I know what you're thinking. Oh, 92 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: dear God, I'm war slap out. I say, Okay, a 93 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: lot of people think you start campaigning today and that 94 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: you start pounding people over the head at I don't 95 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: think people are going to be listening. Even insiders I 96 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: don't believe are going to be listening. I'm not for 97 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: a week. I won't pay attention to it unless there's 98 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: some big story, you know, somebody gets somebody drops out, 99 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 2: or whatever that may be. There could be some levels 100 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: of breaking news. In fact, there's some I expect, but 101 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: by and large, people want some time off. This was 102 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: the most expensive primary in American history period. More money 103 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: was spent on John corn And than has ever been 104 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: spent on a Republican primary candidate, non presidential candidate. So, yes, 105 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: you got beat over the head with a lot of spots, 106 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: whether that be radio, TV, mail, or text. All of 107 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: those things are true. But by large, it was a successful, 108 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: very successful night for the base over the establishment, for 109 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: the Davids versus the Eliath and that's you show thank you, 110 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: without in the direction as to what we would want 111 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 2: those calls to be. If it is on your heart 112 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 2: to call the show, you are welcome. Seven one three, 113 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: one thousand. This is the results in the races on 114 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 2: my ballot that I mentioned, Don Hooper challenging the incumbent 115 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 2: county chairman. That race goes to a runoff. That's a 116 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: victory for a challenger to push an incumbent into a runoff. 117 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: Don Hooper in that runoff, and as I mentioned, that 118 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: will be May twenty sixth so ten weeks away, nine 119 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: weeks from now, there will be a it'll only be 120 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 2: a week of early voting in the runoff. So but 121 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: we'll talk about that week. We've got plenty of time 122 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 2: to talk about that, obviously. In the US Senate race, 123 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 2: Ken Paxton making the runoff against John Cornyn. Wesley Hunt's 124 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 2: position in that race and how that affected that race, 125 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: we'll talk about because it's worthy of a segment. But 126 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: Ken Paxton will be in the runoff against corn More 127 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 2: money was spent on Cornyn than has ever been spent 128 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 2: on a primary candidate in American history. Why do you 129 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: think that is. Why do you think that is? You 130 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: think he's such a great senator that DC says the 131 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: government can't function without John Cornyan. I think that's the case. 132 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: Congressional district to a district that changed a little bit 133 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 2: with some of the redistricting, but was primarily an incumbent 134 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 2: running for reelection, which was Dan Crenshaw Steve Toath, constitutionalist 135 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: TEA Party MAGA state representative winning that race. Congressional District eight. 136 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: We supported Jessica Hart Steinmann or Nick Tran, a US veteran. 137 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 2: Tran didn't have much of a chance, but he's a 138 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: good guy. I think he stands for the right things. 139 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 2: He's got a good heart, and he's got good people 140 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: behind him. Steinman won that outright. We did not. We 141 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 2: split the baby on that with two choices Steinman or Tran. 142 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: Steinman winning Congressional District nine Alex Mieler. That is the 143 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: new congressional district with redistricting that goes across eastern Harris 144 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: County into Liberty County. I have not had a chance 145 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 2: to drill down and see what Liberty can he did. 146 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: I am very interested to see how Liberty County did. 147 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: That was against Briscoe Caine. Briscoe Cain endorsed by Greg Abbott, 148 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: Alex Miheler endorsed by Donald Trump. Meeler leading going into 149 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: that runoff. But now, just like a playoff game, your 150 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: record during the season doesn't matter. I expect Meeler to 151 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: win that runoff. District twenty two, which is Troy Nell's 152 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: old district, his brother Trevor Nell's winning. I'm telling you 153 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: who we who I supported my ballot and whether they 154 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 2: want or not. District thirty six Brian Babin and Brian Babbin. 155 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: Doctor Brian Babin won District thirty eight John Bunk. Bunk 156 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: almost won without a runoff. Shelley da Zavallo's challenging him 157 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 2: in an open seat. That's the seat that Wesley Hunt. 158 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: My mind is fried. Look at it numbers all night. 159 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 2: That is the seat that le Wesley Hunt vacated in 160 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 2: order to run for the Senate. John bk running a 161 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: well funded, well organized, well executed campaign. Shelley Desavallos has 162 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 2: pretty strong support. I don't believe I thought Bank might 163 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: win that without a runoff early in the evening, but 164 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: that will be a runoff. May twenty six for Governor 165 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: Doc Chambers. Obviously Greg Abbott won. He won big, but 166 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: he won less than he would have that's for sure. 167 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 2: Attorney General Aaron Wrights, I knew Rights would have trouble. 168 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 2: He came in fourth out of four. He just didn't 169 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 2: have the money or the name. I d he was 170 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: Ken Paxton's choice. He would be a very good attorney general. 171 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 2: He's not a great campaigner. He is a very very 172 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: well respected lawyer. His legal acumen, Unfortunately, that's not always 173 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 2: the most important thing when you're running. There were four 174 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 2: strong candidates in that race. You had Chip Roy, who 175 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 2: has very strong name. 176 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: I D. 177 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: Ted Cruz came out strong for him him early, and 178 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: Chip has very strong name id from being on Fox. 179 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 2: Chip also has a lot of baggage for attacking Trump 180 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 2: and MAGA. That's a mistake. He has criticized people. After 181 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 2: January sixth, he pulled a list Chainey and it cost him. 182 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: And it's important that these individuals. One thing you need 183 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: to understand is that if all you count is wins 184 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: and losses, you're going to miss what the process sees. 185 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 2: The process, the people in the process are always watching 186 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: and when they see how you will rise up as 187 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 2: with an underdog candidate, underfunded, trailing in the polls, and 188 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 2: you will bust your ass to beat them. The others 189 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: are watching, and they go, how about I dial it back. 190 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: When they are told by a lobbyist or a consultant, 191 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 2: or a member of the media or anyone else to 192 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 2: do this or that, that is a poke in your eye, 193 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: they're going to say, wait a second, look what happened 194 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: to so and so. I don't want that to happen 195 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 2: to me. The Attorney general's race will go to a runoff. 196 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: As I said, there were four very strong candidates. That 197 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: was like the twenty sixteenth Republican presidential primary. Any four 198 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: of them could do the job. Aaron Wrights, I think 199 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 2: was probably the most talented. Joan Huffman, estate senator from 200 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: this area, very smart, lady, tough criminal court judge for 201 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: a number of years. She was not as well funded 202 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: as I expected her to be. I only saw one 203 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: ad that her campaign ran, and I only saw it twice, 204 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 2: and that is surprising. The only TV that I have watched, 205 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: people send me the spots, so I tend to see 206 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: just the spots, so I don't see them in context. 207 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 2: But the only TV I have watched, and I watch 208 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: it every Tuesday and Thursday night is my Jeopardy, my 209 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: recorded Jeopardy shows. And I will tell you I only 210 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 2: ever saw one there. I saw Washington, Wesley Hunt, Cornyn 211 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: hit ads on on Wesley Hunt constantly. In the attorney 212 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: General's race, you have chip Roy and you have May's Middleton. 213 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: When I first saw the ad running that referred to 214 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 2: Maga May's Middleton, I thought, that is the cheesiest damn 215 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 2: thing I have ever seen in my life. And it's 216 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 2: going to work. Partly because Mays was going to spend 217 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: the money. He had originally said he would spend ten 218 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: million dollars in that race, and I think he probably did, 219 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: and that would be of his own money. I think 220 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 2: he probably did. I don't know how much he raised 221 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: outside of that, but May's Middleton actually lead it over 222 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 2: chip Roy. I expect President Trump to endorse Mace Middleton 223 00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: as early as today possible. That attorney general race is 224 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: going to be an interesting development. As I said, there 225 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 2: were four very very strong candidates as individuals and as candidates. 226 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 2: Aaron Wrights, who I supported, is a hell of a 227 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 2: good lawyer and would make a hell of a good 228 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 2: attorney General. I told him the day I let him 229 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 2: know I was supporting him. I didn't think he could win, 230 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: but I think he should win. And that's our process. 231 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 3: You know. 232 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 2: Sometimes an elected official running for a position to give 233 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: speeches Congress, the state House, that's one thing. But some things, 234 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 2: we elect you to do a job, and it's an 235 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: administrative job, and it requires proficiency at what you do, 236 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: and it's a much more technical position. In the attorney 237 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 2: General's is exactly that. But the people who are not 238 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 2: themselves lawyers and in many cases don't really know what 239 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 2: goes into that race are not looking at that, and 240 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 2: they're not digging deep into that, and frankly, nor should they. 241 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 2: People have a lot going on. Rights came in fourth there. 242 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 2: Joan Huffman came in third. Again, she's a state senator. 243 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: She's been elected by over three percent of Texans already, 244 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 2: which is also true of Middleton. You've got you've got 245 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 2: a base to start with, because those people know your name. 246 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: Other people know your name, they've seen you on a ballot. 247 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 2: Then you've got chip Roy, who had ted Cruz's support 248 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 2: very early on, very publicly. He came out hard for him, 249 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 2: and chip Roy had big name ID, a lot of fans, 250 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: a lot of enemies, and then you had May's Middleton 251 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 2: and Middleton started that race somewhere around third or fourth 252 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 2: and did two things, traveled the state. I saw him 253 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 2: in a different city every single day for the last 254 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,239 Speaker 2: forty five fifty days and maybe longer than that. I 255 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: heard from listeners all over the state. Lubbock and then Lufkin, Beaumont, Brownsville. 256 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 2: I'm doing the literative thing ramon Waco and Waksahatchie, yep 257 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 2: Odessa and Orange. I'll stop, I'll stop, Texas, Cana and 258 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 2: Tyler same area. Yeah, I know, I know, I know. 259 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 2: I was making a point. That's making the one El 260 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: Paso and uh Larreto. I don't know l Paso and 261 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 2: Eagle Pass shut up. So uh anyway, that's gonna be 262 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: a very interesting race. I expect Donald Trump to endorse 263 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: Mays Middleton a couple of reasons. He likes Mays. Part 264 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 2: of the reason he didn't endorse before is he also 265 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 2: likes Aaron Wrights a lot. Aaron Rights came and worked 266 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 2: for his administration last year. Paxton supported Aaron Rights. So 267 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: I think that Trump didn't get involved because it was 268 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 2: a four person race, and he didn't want to do 269 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 2: that to Rights and to a lesser extent, to Paxton. 270 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 2: Now you've got Mays Middleton versus Hip Roy. There has 271 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: been a lot made of the President's big speech last week, 272 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: which I found out was the longest State of the 273 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: Union ever. Did you realize that I did not know 274 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 2: that that hasn't been a criticism because it wasn't you 275 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 2: know Bill Clinton's nineteen eighty eight Democrat convention speech where 276 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: he just droned on and people thought his political career 277 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 2: was over. It was a very very good speech. It 278 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: was a great effort to mobilize the American people for 279 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 2: his agenda. So now, but but chip Roy got close 280 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 2: enough to he pulled to Sheila Jackson Lee, and he 281 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 2: thought he'd do one of those you know, get some 282 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 2: good footage of him and the president, and then use that, 283 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 2: I think a bit deceptively to appear that the President 284 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 2: liked him. A lot of people did that this election 285 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 2: cycle that weren't endorsed, including John Cornick. The President was 286 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 2: very clear in his body language that he would not 287 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 2: be shaking his hand. He does not like chip Roy 288 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 2: at all. Now, the argument that Ted Cruz and chip 289 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 2: Roy will make is that chip Roy supports the president's agenda, 290 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 2: that chip Roy works hard on the President's agenda. We 291 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: can we can argue over whether he does and the 292 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 2: times that he has broken. But when you were in 293 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 2: the Liz Cheney King imp uh, that's going that's not 294 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: going to be forgotten. I think a lot of us 295 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: that that is an unforgivable crime. And I think that's 296 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 2: going to cost chip Roy terribly. I think that uh, 297 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: Mays Middleton is going to outspend him, outwork him. I 298 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 2: think the President's going to get involved. I would not 299 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 2: be surprised if the President gets more than a little 300 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: bit involved for May's Middleton, who's running as Maga May's Middleton, 301 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 2: which I think is probably a very smart move. It's 302 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 2: not inconsistent with his background and what he has done 303 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 2: as a state senator. I think that and and Middleton 304 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 2: is from the This is a factor that I think 305 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 2: could could be important. Mays is from the greater Houston area. 306 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 2: Nobody doesn't like Mays. You may not love him for 307 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 2: people that don't know him or whatever, but nobody Krenshaw 308 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 2: had the problem. A lot of people don't like him. 309 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 2: Chip Roy has the problem that a lot of people 310 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 2: don't like him. You see individuals who have burned a 311 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 2: lot of bridges. I've never met anybody who doesn't like 312 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 2: Mace Milton, so there's a basically positive perception. His name 313 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 2: ID will be above Chip Roy by the time this 314 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 2: is all done. He's going to outspend him. And I 315 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 2: think the President gets involved in this race because the 316 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 2: attorney general in the state of Texas has been a 317 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 2: very important position for the Trump administration, and I think 318 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 2: that they want to keep a very very friendly Chip 319 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 2: Roy can go off half cocked, he can wander off 320 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 2: the reservation. I don't think they want Chip Roy in 321 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 2: that seat, and I think you will see some things 322 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 2: they do behind the scenes to make a difference there. 323 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 2: I'm not saying the president can sway every election. He cannot. 324 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 2: Doctor Oz would be a senator if he could, and 325 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 2: Feederman wouldn't, but he can in certain places have some 326 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 2: level of influence both he and his team. So I 327 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 2: think May's Middleton's going to put up a very very 328 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 2: strong race, and at this point I think that it's 329 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 2: that he can win that race. We'll see. So I 330 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 2: went with Aaron Wright's obviously, who did not win for comptroller. 331 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: Interesting thing happened. Greg Abbott got big behind Kelly Hancock. 332 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 2: Greg Abbott put Kelly Hancock from the state Senate into 333 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 2: the comptroller's position, except he couldn't because he couldn't get approval. 334 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 2: So Kelly Hancock had to be called the acting comptroller. 335 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 2: He couldn't be the comptroller. Now, most people outside the 336 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: insiders don't notice things like that, but a lot of 337 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 2: insiders did. It also opened up Kelly Hancock's State Senate seat, 338 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 2: which Democrats won. If you remember a couple of months ago, 339 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 2: that was a big deal. Abbott got very big behind 340 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 2: Kelly Hancock, and Abbot got his ass kicked. So there's 341 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 2: the value of his endorsement in that race. They poured 342 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: a bunch of cash into it. Don Haffind's one and 343 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 2: one big. They tried to tie him to Jeffrey Epstein 344 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 2: because he bought a property that Epstein was in the 345 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 2: chain of title of I got news for you. If 346 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 2: you buy a Chevy Silverado that used to be owned 347 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: by Charlie Manson, nobody's wondering if you stabbed Sharon Tate 348 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 2: or killed the lobby off, because that's just silliness, and 349 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 2: I think the Abbot crew and the handcock crew should 350 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 2: be ashamed of themselves. To your ears. This is a 351 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 2: very show. Did you watch that movie The Forever in 352 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 2: Blue Jeans or whatever? It was so disappointing, Oh, so 353 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: darn disappointing. I thought it was a documentary on Neil Diamond. 354 00:24:54,680 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 2: It's a it's just some sort of after school special 355 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 2: kind of quality of a guy who's a in a 356 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: in a tribute band as Neil Diamond and and he's 357 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 2: a broken soul. I won't ruin it for you. If 358 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 2: those of you, I mean, they do at least play 359 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 2: Neil Diamond music throughout the movie. That's the only thing 360 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 2: that but you just it's just saccering. It's kind of 361 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 2: one of those movies that you watch on a long 362 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 2: flight and you can tolerate it. But that's about all 363 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 2: that's about all. Election day is a is a big 364 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 2: day for me. I get weird, and everybody knows around 365 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 2: me knows I get weird, and so I get I 366 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: get antsy for election returns, and you're not going to 367 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 2: start getting any till almost seven. And so the middle 368 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 2: of the afternoon. I had planned last night we would 369 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: talk Iran without much political talk and uh, which which 370 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 2: is kind of what we did. So in the early afternoon, 371 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 2: I thought, well, I've been wanting to see the new 372 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 2: Elvis movie the Imax, and I had it all planned out. 373 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 2: I was going to finish the morning show and rush 374 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 2: out to the Imax at Katie Mills. There's a location 375 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 2: we're looking at for an RCC type place nearby there. 376 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: I would drive back by there. Again, it's like lay 377 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 2: eyes on things a bunch of different times, so you 378 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 2: can see it from different perspectives. Had the whole thing 379 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 2: laid out, but I had looked at the wrong theater 380 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 2: and it wasn't that theater, and it wasn't even the 381 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 2: right day for the showtime. I think the showtime was 382 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: going to be twelve third I can't remember anyway. So 383 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 2: I did not get to see the new Elvis bos 384 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 2: Lerman movie. But my buddy and private investigator and fellow 385 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 2: Elvis Fichonado, Paul Baker, is very upset. I have not 386 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,479 Speaker 2: seen it yet. I will see that very soon. So 387 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 2: for Comptroller, you've got done Huffins, who we supported. It's 388 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 2: going to be an interesting dynamic because this has not 389 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 2: been talked about. But Huffins ran against Abbot four years ago, 390 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 2: and Abbot takes it very personally. And Abbot came out 391 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 2: and supported Kelly Hancock to try to keep Huffins out 392 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 2: of that seat, and Abbot got spanked badly. I mean badly. 393 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 2: Huffines has some pretty strong support among the Trump crowd. 394 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 2: I'm on the tea party crowd. He's got a lot 395 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: of personal money. He he poured a lot of that 396 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 2: in and there's some bad blood between him and Greg Abbot, 397 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 2: and that's not if you're Greg Abbott, that's not where 398 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: you want a guy to be that you have taken 399 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 2: your best shot at and you didn't connect. Because now 400 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 2: the comptroller and the keeper of the accounts is your, 401 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: if not sworn enemy. He's got an ax to grind. 402 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 2: This is going to play out very interesting, and I 403 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 2: think that's healthy for Commissioner of Agriculture. Sid Miller had 404 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: been the ag commissioner, and I was a Sid Miller fan. 405 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 2: He was quirky, he's wacky. He does and says some 406 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 2: stuff that makes the media crazy, and sometimes you wonder 407 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 2: about in a in a Trumpian way, but but I'm 408 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 2: okay with that. You can have some character. You can 409 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 2: you can you can have some fun with it. But 410 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 2: he started doing things that reeked of corruption, and it 411 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 2: got to be it got to the point that I 412 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: felt that he almost was sort of like, I can 413 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 2: do whatever I want because I'll just run back and say, 414 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 2: you know, I'm magga, They're out to get me. Nate 415 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 2: Sheets was not a guy I would have expected to endorse, 416 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 2: but I think we needed to do something there, and 417 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: we did support Nate Sheets. Oddly enough, Sheets was Greg 418 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 2: Abbott indorse and Sid Miller was a Trump indoorsea so 419 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 2: that was the rare case that I wasn't with a 420 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 2: Trump aligned candidate. I was with an Abbot aligned candidate. 421 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 2: But in any case, Nate Sheets has won. Railroad Commissioner 422 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 2: bow French will be in a runoff with Jim Wright. 423 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,959 Speaker 2: We are we supported bau French and will again in 424 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 2: his runoff. Courter Criminal Appeals Thomas Smith will be in 425 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 2: a runoff with Alison Fox. Obviously we supported Smith quarter 426 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 2: Criminal Appeals. John Messenger we supported he won State Senator. 427 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 2: The district attorney for Montgomery County Brett Ligan. Brett Ligan 428 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 2: won State Rep. District sixteen. John Bouchet. That was a 429 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 2: shot at Will Metcalf, who got very involved in the 430 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 2: the Paxton impeachment. Metcalf ended up winning, But I can 431 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 2: tell you that I can tell you that he will 432 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 2: think twice the next time he does something so stupid, 433 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 2: because it took a pound of flesh out of him. 434 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 2: And that's all I asked for. Dennis Goose Geeseman in 435 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 2: District eighty five. I was told he didn't have a 436 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 2: prayer in hell to win that race against a candidate 437 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 2: who had more money and name id. But Giesonman did win. 438 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 2: State Rep. District won twenty six. We did not win, 439 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 2: not even close. We supported poll Looper. She came highly 440 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 2: recommended by some people. I trust Stan Standard, who's longtime 441 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 2: Harris County elected official party insider. And Kelly Peterson will 442 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 2: be in the runoff. So we did not win in 443 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 2: that race, and that's okay. I'm just fine not winning 444 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 2: races one twenty nine Scott Bowen and he won Court 445 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 2: of Appeals place three Zach Gibson. He will go into 446 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 2: a runoff with Todd Frankton County Judge. We supported Marty 447 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 2: Langton Orlando. He did not win, which is surprising because 448 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 2: he had a lot of money and a lot of 449 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: broad support from some big names in town. That race 450 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 2: will be a runoff between Orlando Sanchez and Warren Howell. 451 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 2: Warren Howell kind of a Dwayne Stoveall kind of constitutional outsider, 452 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: maybe not as much money, maybe not the same name 453 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 2: I d but a guy who is very thoughtful, very 454 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 2: tea party constitutionalist. That is going to be an interesting race. 455 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 2: It has not heretofore, engendered much interest from the voters, 456 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 2: which is why we haven't talked about it. But that 457 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 2: runoff for the Republican nomination in the county judge race 458 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 2: is going to We'll begin now. County Commissioner Precinct two, 459 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 2: we supported Richard Vega, he won. County Clerk, we supported 460 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 2: Linda Sanchez. Mike Wolfe won. I don't have a problem 461 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 2: with that. Mike's a good man. Propositions one through ten 462 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 2: we supported all and all passed. And the only precinct 463 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 2: chairman race that we had an opinion was my ear 464 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 2: nose and throat doctor slash COVID patience rights crusader Mary 465 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 2: Tally Boden, and she won. I told her, I hope 466 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 2: you're happy, because you're going to regret it. It ends 467 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 2: up being a lot of work, a lot of inside baseball, 468 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 2: a lot of backbiting and drama. But it's an important 469 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 2: thing to do, and you're about to learn in the 470 00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 2: belly of the beast and the bowels of the party, 471 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 2: the roll up your sleeves and get things done where 472 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 2: the party work gets done. And I'm glad somebody with 473 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 2: her stature would be willing to do it. I am. 474 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 2: It's it's going to be interesting. So all in all 475 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 2: of a fascinating night. Much to get to and of 476 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 2: course the phone lines are over. Mm hmm.
