This will be our 7 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 3: greatest era. With God's help, over the next four years, 8 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 3: we are going to lead this nation even higher, and 9 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 3: we are going to forge the freest, most advanced, most dynamic, 10 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 3: and most dominant civilization ever to exist on the face 11 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: of this Earth. We are going to create the highest 12 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 3: quality of life, build the safest and wealthiest and healthiest 13 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 3: and vital communities anywhere in the world. 14 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: We are going to conquer. 15 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: The vast frontiers of science, and we are going to 16 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 3: lead humanity into space and plant the American flag on 17 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 3: the planet Mars. 18 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: And even far beyond. 19 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 3: And through it all, we are going to rediscover the 20 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 3: unstoppable power of the American spirit, and we are going 21 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 3: to renew unlimited promise of the American Dream. Every single day, 22 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 3: we will stand up and we will fight, fight, fight 23 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 3: for the country our citizens believe in, and for the. 24 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: Country our people deserve. 25 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 3: My fellow Americans, get ready for an incredible future, because 26 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: the Golden Age of America has only just begun. It 27 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 3: will be like nothing that has ever been seen before. 28 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 3: Thank you, God bless you, and God bless so. 29 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: The internacine working of Texas State is not worthy of 30 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: the time of our listeners across the country. I won't 31 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: bore you with that. I will tell you that whether 32 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: or not we have a Republican majority come January first 33 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty seven for the last two years of 34 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: the Trump presidency, which is very, very important, will depend 35 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: in part on the redistricting effort in the state of Texas, 36 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: where up to five seats can be flipped. So you 37 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: think about the effect. Let's say you got a House 38 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: Republican majority out of four hundred thirty five. Let's say 39 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: you've got two hundred twenty Republicans to two hundred and 40 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: fifteen Democrats, and you take five of those Democrats and 41 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: you flip them Republican. You went from a five seat 42 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: majority to now two twenty five to two ten. You've 43 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: got a fifteen seat majority. Now you know, I like 44 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: to watch these videos in Iraq and Afghanistan, where our 45 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: guys will go in and they'll they'll be locked down 46 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: on the on the terrorists, whether it's ISIS or whoever 47 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: we're fighting, and those guys will be in a line 48 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: and they'll come in and they'll start firing on them 49 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: and dropping bombs on them, and one of them will 50 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: run out to the side. They call out a squirter, 51 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: and you'll hear him. We got a squirter on a 52 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: quarter at the three o'clock And then they get they 53 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: go over there and they just lay down fire God 54 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: and take him out. Well, we'll have some squirters in 55 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: the Republican ranks, and if the ranks are so tight 56 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: that you don't have a majority, you'll create a situation 57 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: where one Republican congressman can hold out his vote in 58 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: exchange for whatever he wants, and you can practically bring 59 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: the whole thing to a grinding hall. So if you're 60 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: at two twenty two to fifteen, that's a tight, tight, 61 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: tight majority. You could then go two twenty five to 62 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: two ten. Now, there are a lot of other things 63 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: at play, A lot of other things a play. Mid 64 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 1: Term elections are typically very bad for presidents. You'll remember 65 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, the Republican takeover the contract with America, 66 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: New Gangrich shot onto the scene. That was the mid 67 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: term of Bill Clinton's first presidential term. Republicans took the 68 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: House first time. I think it was in fifty years. Well, 69 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: that is typically the case for a president, and Donald 70 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: Trump is doing He's not leaving anything to chance. In 71 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: Trump two point zero. He learned his lesson the first time. 72 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: Don't count on the Republicans, don't trust the Republicans, and 73 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: don't give the Democrats an ounce of oxygen to catch fire. 74 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: He is a much better president this time because of 75 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: that fact. He learned his lesson. You cannot trust the Republicans. 76 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: You can't trust the RNC. You've got to stack your 77 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,119 Speaker 1: people in there. That's why he put his people in there. 78 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: You cannot trust the people who are claiming failty to you, 79 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: like Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, because they'll end 80 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: up doing nothing. That's what they end up doing. You 81 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: cannot trust the Republicans in the Senate. Mitch McConnell is 82 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: working harder against Donald Trump than Chuck Schumer is today. 83 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: And that's a fact. Lisa Murkowski Susan Collins. Trump has learned, 84 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: you've got to see people for exactly who they are 85 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: and deal with them on those terms if you want 86 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: to be successful and get things done. So in the 87 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: state of Texas you've got the Democrats have now fled 88 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: the state. They've gone up to Pritzkers in Illinois. And 89 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: if he doesn't eat them, which by the way, he could, 90 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: and you'd never notice it. That guy just he eats everything, 91 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: He swallows everything in his path. It'd be nothing for 92 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: him to eat gen Wu, the leader of the Democrats, 93 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: instead of Texas, because jen Wu's not that big a guy, 94 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: and Pritzker's got a hell of an appetite. But if 95 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't eat them, there is no end game to this. 96 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: There's a thirty day special session and all the Democrats 97 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: have to do is come back, walk into the floor 98 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: of the House. It gets gabbled to order, the bill 99 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: is introduced. It's pass boom redistricting, and the Democrats know this, 100 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: so their play is to flee the state, so the 101 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: state government, so the state House can't meet. Well, what 102 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: the governor has now done is gone to the Supreme 103 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: Court for a quota ronto, which is, you know by 104 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: what power, by what warrant, by what authority do you 105 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: serve and ask the State Supreme Court to basically kick 106 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: Jean Wu out of his seat the leader of the Democrats, 107 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: which would create a very very interesting situation. I suspect 108 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: some other Democrats if that happened, we'll skidaddle back. And 109 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: that's the impression you cut that gin Wu is the 110 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: leader of the Democrats in the State House, and those 111 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: people want, if nothing else, they want to stay in office. 112 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: So what I expect to happen is by Friday afternoon 113 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: they come back redistricting passes. Those five seats are up 114 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: in the spring. If we play our cards right and 115 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: don't screw the pooch, which we've had a bad habit 116 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: of doing as Republicans, and we flipped those five and 117 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: Emmanuel cleevery we've got some others in some other states, 118 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: then we can buy hooker by crook, hold on to 119 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: the House, or Donald Trump in his final two years 120 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: around damn it all right, This is Mark Chestnut and 121 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: Joy Bizar of Talk Radio. I should probably peel back 122 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: a few layers of what's going on in Texas politics 123 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: that affects national politics right now because the level of 124 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: intrigue is ramped up dramatically. Let me start with us. 125 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: We've got John Cornyn as our senior Senator, Ted Cruz 126 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: the junior sentator. That only relates to how long they've 127 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: been there. Cornyn is a swamp rat, always has been. 128 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: Cornyn is the right hand man to Mitch McConnell. 129 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: He is a. 130 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: Swamp creature, inside dealer like he John McCain, Chris, you 131 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: get these guys, he've been there forever. They all they 132 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: all kind of scratch each other's back, self dealing. Cornyn 133 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: made a run at being the Senate Majority Leader. But 134 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: Cornyn is not trusted. He's a weasel. He's a very, 135 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: very weasly individual. And what Cornyn does is absolutely nothing 136 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: for the state. But in DC, he's an inside player. 137 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: He's kind of a henchman for the Senate Majority leader. 138 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: That's what he did for McConnell forever, and he thought 139 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: then he'd get to be the leader. Didn't work out 140 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: that way, And then every six years Cornyan comes back 141 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: to Texas and acts like he's John Wayne. He's a 142 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: tough guy. He's been up there fighting at DC people. 143 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: And as long as there isn't a good Republican in 144 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: the primary to face off with him, then he's able 145 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: to keep getting elected with this nonsense. Well, the two 146 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: problems with incumbency are if you're running against an incumbent, 147 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: they have all the money because they're in office, so 148 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: anybody doing business with the government will give them money 149 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: to continue to do business with the government. And number two, 150 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: they have name id. They can hold press conferences, they 151 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: can send out press releases, they get their name out there. 152 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: For a candidate challenging a John We're still a slightly 153 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: Republican state in Texas in the general, so you got 154 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,719 Speaker 1: to beat Cornyn in the primary. Well, there hasn't been 155 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: a candidate with a real following. But then enters Ken Paxton, 156 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: that's our attorney general. The Republicans in the state House 157 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: of Representatives tried to impeach Ken Paxton, our attorney general. 158 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: And that was all coming from the corn crowd and 159 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: Carl Rove and that group of people because they knew 160 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: that if Paxton got the chance, he was going to 161 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: run against Cornyn and Paxton is a Trump guy, so 162 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: Paxton would get the Trump vote and beat Cornyn in 163 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: the primary. So they tried to impeach him out of 164 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: the House. But the Senate squashed that, So now Paxton's 165 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: stronger than ever. Now Paxton running against Cornan has been 166 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: and he's beating Cornyn by over twenty percentage points in 167 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: every poll. One he's beaten in by twenty five. When 168 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: you're an incumbent losing by this measure, you're not coming back. 169 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: So now the establishment that doesn't want Paxton because Paxton's 170 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: an outsider, rabble rouser Trump kind of guy, and Trump 171 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: loves him. So now the big money boys are looking 172 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: for someone to replace John Cornyn with. And there are 173 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: some other candidates out there sniffing Wesley Hunt, who's a congressman, 174 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: represents part of Houston. He's a celebrated military veteran, went 175 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: to West Point helicopter pilot, was a football star in 176 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: younger life, a blackfellow, sharp, smart, witty, handsome, very well liked. 177 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: So now you've got Wesley Hunt. And now they're talking about, well, 178 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: if there's polling going on. I'm not sure who's paying 179 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: for this yet, but there's polling going on, and says, hey, 180 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: what if Wesley Hunt got in this race. So we'll 181 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: get into that race more as time goes by, But first, 182 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: this race affects what's going on with the redistricting battle, 183 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: because none of this stuff happens in a vacuum. So 184 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: now you've got John Wayne mccorny and mister tough good 185 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: or he's not just John Corny election time, who's John 186 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: Wayne mccornan. He puts his cable hat on, he gets 187 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: in those TV ads and he says, I'm back in Texas. Dude, 188 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: g't your vote go back and say a vote for you? Oh? 189 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: Shut up, You're so silly. So anyway, he's got to 190 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: do something. So he announced this, We've got to have 191 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: some federal approach to what's going on in the state 192 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: House of Texas. He says, I'm calling on the president 193 00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: to send in the FBI. Oh really, John, did we 194 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: play that audio yet? I don't think we have. All Right, 195 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: that's gonna be clip number fixed five those six. So 196 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: then they asked Trump, are you going to send in 197 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: the president? I mean, you're gonna send in the FBI, 198 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: mister President, to go track down these Democrats and make 199 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: them come back and vote. Texas. 200 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 5: Senator John Cornyan is asking for your help to force 201 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 5: democrats back to the state and hold them accountable. Do 202 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 5: you want the federal government and the FBI to help 203 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 5: locate and arrest these Texas Democrats who have left the state. 204 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: Well, I think they've abandoned the state. 205 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: Nobody's seen anything like it, even though they've done it 206 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 3: twice before, and in a certain way, it almost looks 207 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 3: like they've abandoned the state. 208 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: Looks very bad. Yeah, go ahead, Please, FBI get involved. 209 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 5: Should the FBI get. 210 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: Involved, Well, they may have to. 211 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: They may have to. 212 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 3: No, I know they want them back, not only the 213 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 3: attorney general, the governor wants them back. If you look, 214 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 3: I mean the governor of Texas is demanding they come back. 215 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: So a lot of people are demanded they come back. 216 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: You can't just sit it out. You have to go back. 217 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: You have to fight it out. That's what elections are 218 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: all about. Cornyn's trying to inject himself into this because 219 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: Cornyn is a do nothing senator. So that brings up 220 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: the question to Trump. So what you really have at 221 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: play is in the state House in Austin, Texas Democrats 222 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: have fled National Democrats, Soros and all that are funding 223 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: them being out of the state to prevent the vote 224 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: from being held. There's two more weeks left in the 225 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: first thirty Day Session Special Session. Trump wants to vote, 226 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: but he doesn't want to be too heavy handed. Cornan 227 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: is causing this thing to be talked about when Trump 228 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: wasn't ready to talk about federal agents going in. The 229 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott has gone to the Supreme Court with 230 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: his writ to have the leader of the Democrats kicked out. 231 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: And then you've got the Attorney General Ken Paxton, who 232 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: by the way, is running against John Cornyn, and he's 233 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: taking action along with the Speaker of the House to 234 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: have these guys removed. All of this hits, all of 235 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: the deadlines hit on Friday afternoon, so everybody is taking 236 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: their action, not just to get the Democrats back to 237 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: the House to get the vote taken. That has become 238 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: the proxy war for the US Senate seat of Paxton 239 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: versus Cornyn. Trump doesn't want to help Cornan anymore than 240 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: he has to, but he also wants to show that 241 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: he wants the vote to be held. And Cornan is 242 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: out here with Karl Rove and all that they're trying 243 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: to get him. They're trying to position him as he's 244 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: the guy that was trying to get the redistricting done 245 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: and low information Republican voters, the country club voters, said, 246 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: the Romney McCain bush voters. They don't know that Cornyan 247 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: is a do nothing senator and had nothing to. 248 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 2: Do with this. 249 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 5: But I'm reminded of someone proverb now quoted by Shila 250 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 5: Jackson Lee. 251 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: Thus I die Michael show. On Monday night, I got 252 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: to check off a few bucket list items. I saw 253 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: my first show at Red Rocks outside of Denver, which 254 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: is an amazing, amazing, unlike anything I've ever seen before 255 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: concert venue. You're on the side of a mountain. You 256 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: literally park at the foot of the mountain and you 257 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: walk up and carved into this beautiful rock, massive set 258 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: of mountain rocks is these red red rocks are the 259 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: seats and then a flattened out space for the band 260 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: to perform. And almost ten thousand people come into this 261 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: canyon thereby created and it makes for a glorious natural, 262 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: mostly natural setting for a concert venue. I got to 263 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: see zz Top for the first time in my life 264 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: at their invitation, their fans of the show, and I 265 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: got to hang out with Frank Beard, who is their 266 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: longtime drummer. There were three original members of the band, 267 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:20,239 Speaker 1: The Trace Ombrace, Frank Beard, the drummer, Dusty Hill and 268 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: Billy Gibbons Dusty and Billy on guitar and Billy and 269 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: Dusty on vocals. It was an absolute honor like none 270 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: other and a great experience to be there. I brought 271 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: my wife and Crockett Michael t couldn't make it. My 272 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: friend Cody Johnson, who knows the Beard family very well, 273 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: coordinated everything, and our assistant Emily and Kevin Bull, who's 274 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: a big guitarist and a Sezy Top fan, also joined us. 275 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: And we had one heck of a time. It was 276 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: an experience, and to think that those fellas Dusty Hill 277 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: passed in twenty twenty one, within a week they were 278 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: back performing again. Ellwood it was a surprise death, Dusty's death, 279 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: but Ellwood, his guitar tech, was asked to step in 280 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: and he said, I can't step in for Dusty. I 281 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: mean and Billy and Frank told him, you've been doing 282 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: it all these years, you know what we do. And 283 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: with not so much as a rehearsal, they stepped in 284 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: and kept performing, performing and stayed on the road as 285 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: they have for well over fifty years. It's an amazing, 286 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: amazing thing. It was a sold out show. The crowd 287 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: was riveted. I got to stand stage right and see 288 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: the technology behind the show and what they do. What 289 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: an experience, what n experience as a Zzy Top fan 290 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: and as a music fan. To get to see this 291 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: particular band and to get to see them in that environment, 292 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: it was special. I told you earlier. Jasmine Crockett stands 293 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: to lose her seat with redistricting, and that could turn 294 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: out to be very, very interesting. So here she is 295 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: making ghetto girl threats because this is what she does. Ramon. 296 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: This will be clip number four oh one, please and 297 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. 298 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 6: But instead we are not only gonna punch you back, 299 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 6: but we are gonna knock you out. So I fully 300 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 6: anticipate that we are going to take control of the 301 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 6: United States House because that is what the American people want, 302 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 6: and that is why Donald Trump and his regime. 303 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: Is so afraid. That's it. We're gonna slap y'all around. 304 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna beat you up, We're gonna knock you down. 305 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna do it. Yeah, you go ahead, Jasmine, you 306 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: go ahead. Meanwhile, every self respecting black person in America 307 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: is cringing. Why does she have to be black? Why 308 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: does the dumbest, loudest person in the room happen to 309 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: also be black. It makes it harder for the rest 310 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: of us. That's what people are thinking. 311 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: But since she. 312 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: Says stupid stuff, she is highly sought after as a 313 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: guest because people love to watch this kind of stuff. 314 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: You can't turn it off. Here she was on MSNBC 315 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: when she inadvertently told the truth as to why the 316 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: Democrats are actually fighting redistricting. 317 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 6: There was a benefit to shining the light on what 318 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 6: it was that they were trying to do in the 319 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 6: dark in Texas. So unfortunately, we've seen our numbers fall 320 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 6: now that they have these voter restrictions in place. 321 00:20:54,080 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: See, once you require voters to prove that they are 322 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: citizen before they can vote, Democrats lose elections. And that's 323 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: what she just said. She's not real smart. She didn't 324 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: get the import of what she said. President Trump was 325 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: on CNBC when he called her exactly what she is, 326 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: low IQ. She's a dumb dumb The. 327 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 7: Democrat Party is self destructing. I mean when you have 328 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 7: low IQ people like Crockett, I wonder if she's in 329 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 7: a relation to ship to the late Great Davy Crockett, 330 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 7: who is a great, great gentleman. I wonder if she's 331 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 7: got a relationship to Davy Crockett, the great old Davy Crockett. 332 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 7: But you have this woman Crockett.

It is the fraud 341 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: that has put them in a position to even be 342 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: close in this election, in any election. Georgia Congressman Marjorie 343 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: Taylor Green was questioning the director of the Census, Robert Santos, 344 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: when she asked him about enforcing the law that requires 345 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: every question to be answered In other words, are you 346 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: counting illegal aliens in this census because you're not supposed to? 347 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 8: Arcantis, You've described yourself as a scientist today. Isn't it 348 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 8: important to be accurate in your science so to speak? 349 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 8: And incounting Also, there is there's an actual law, Sentencing 350 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,479 Speaker 8: Reform Act of nineteen eighty four. That really is your 351 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 8: job to find people five thousand dollars for refusing to 352 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 8: answer questions on the census. 353 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: Was this a law that you enforced? 354 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 8: Did you enforce the law and states that were overcounted 355 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 8: and states that were undercounted. 356 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 2: After the census. 357 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, we are a statistical agency, not an enforcement agency, 358 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 7: so we've never enforced them. 359 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: So no one was fined. 360 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 8: So there were overcounts, there were undercounts, and no one 361 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 8: was fined according to the law. 362 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: And the ports always saying, but what he just said 363 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: is very important. We are a statistical agency, not an 364 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: enforcement agency. In other words, everyone can lie on their 365 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: senses and the Census will do nothing about it. This 366 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: is data that is relied upon to create our governmental structure. 367 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: We know that the people who are lying on it 368 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: are dishonest people who's more likely to be dishonest people 369 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: who've lived here their entire lives, or the people who 370 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: came here and broke the law to get here and 371 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: continue to break the law during their time here as 372 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: tools of evil forces to take this government away from you, 373 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: the American citizen, And that is what has happened. 374 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 9: Sy pung Aa Michael Bays good show on Bablump. 375 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: Well, we've been on the issue of redistricting, so why 376 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: don't we close on that subject. The smarmy Chuck Todd 377 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: was on CNN where he said there are some Republicans 378 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: who do not want the Texas redistricting to happen, and 379 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: then he calls out Democrats for hiding in Illinois. Here's 380 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: that audio. 381 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 10: It seems as if the strategies bring more attention to 382 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 10: this make everybody uncomfortable. 383 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 2: Right, The more painful you. 384 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 10: Make the process in Texas, the more it's hard to replicate. 385 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 10: Maybe there isn't that. They may be their own colleagues 386 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 10: aren't as interested in this. Congressional Republicans that serve in 387 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 10: Texas whose districts are actually going to get impacted negatively 388 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 10: also secretly or. 389 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 2: Kind of hoping this goes away too. 390 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 10: And I think they think the longer, the more painful 391 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 10: they can make this in doing it, maybe there's a 392 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 10: way to shut this down, you know. So I understand 393 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 10: the strategy, and I think you get this. 394 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 2: The part that I think is sort of bad. 395 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 10: I think it's a bad look for a party that 396 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 10: claims to be always trying to be protected democracy is 397 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 10: to pull up in. 398 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,479 Speaker 2: A state that jerry manders, I mean, one of the worst. 399 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 10: You know, Look Texas, Florida, Illinois, and Maryland. Those are 400 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,479 Speaker 10: your four giant gerrymandered states, you know. And if you're 401 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 10: trying to make a point on jerry mander, I don't 402 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,479 Speaker 10: think I'd be going to the state of Illinois as 403 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 10: a place to hide. 404 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: And as Jake Tapper agrees that Illinois is jerrymandered in 405 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: favor of the Democrats. But it's the exception. 406 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 11: If you look at the map, right, you have some 407 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 11: exceptions like Illino, there's blatant Democratic jerry mandering, But most 408 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 11: of the worst offenders when it comes to jerrymandering are 409 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 11: Republican states. 410 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: That's not true. In fact, the governor of Massachusetts, Mara Healy, 411 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: said this morning, you know what, if they're going to redistrict, 412 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: we're going to redistrict and we'll make it so that 413 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: Republicans will have a real tough time getting elected as 414 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: a congressman in Massachusetts. There are no Republican congressmen in Massachusetts, Mara. 415 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: But hey, yeah, you just keep doing you. Texas State 416 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: Representative Brian Harrison was on CNN with that nasty person 417 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: as Donald Trump calls her Caitlin Collins, where he called 418 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: out the speaker of the Texas House and as an outsider, 419 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: you wouldn't know what this is all about. But he's 420 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: right in what he's saying. Thanksually couldn't be higher. 421 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 12: I mean, it is quite literally true, given the razor 422 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 12: thin margins in Congress and what could be coming up 423 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 12: in the midterm elections, that our redistricting efforts in. 424 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: Texas could decide. 425 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 12: Whether or not the United States Congress falls into the 426 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 12: hands of the liberal Democrat Party. And as far as 427 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 12: I'm concerned, the state of Texas and every elected Republican 428 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 12: in the state of Texas should be doing everything we 429 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 12: can to make sure that that does not happen, so 430 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 12: that we can support the Republican priorities, we can support 431 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 12: President Trump's agenda. And quite frankly, there's a lot of 432 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 12: sound and fury coming out of elected Republican leadership in 433 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 12: Texas tonight, But quite frankly, we could have done things 434 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 12: on the last several days to thwart the Democrats' plans 435 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 12: to leave. The Democrats were on the floor four days ago. 436 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 2: We had the. 437 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 12: Democrats, we had the maps, we had a quorum. This 438 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 12: is a little bit not serious what we're seeing right 439 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 12: now coming out of the speaker of the Texas House, 440 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 12: who let them adjourn on Wednesday so they could go 441 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 12: and strategize with Hawkeim Jeffries on how they could flee 442 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 12: the state. 443 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: I want bold actions. 444 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 12: I want them to be arrested, and there should be 445 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 12: severe and serious consequences Democrats. 446 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: State Representative Ron Reynolds at one point was sent to prison. 447 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: He stayed a state representative while also in prison. I'm 448 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: not joking. He was on CNN. He said, Texas Democrats 449 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: are making their own good trouble. 450 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 2: Governor Abbott. 451 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 9: The Republicans say this isn't about racial Jeremandarin. They say 452 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 9: this is about political competitiveness, and they are now pushing 453 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 9: for the arrest of lawmakers like herself who remain out 454 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 9: of the state. 455 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 2: Are you worried about that? 456 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm not worried. 457 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 4: When I think about sixty years ago tomorrow we're on 458 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 4: the eve of the sixtieth anniversary of the Voter Rights Act. 459 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 4: I think about Congressman John Lewis and those freedom facts 460 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 4: who made good trouble, who risks it all. I'm not 461 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 4: worried about Governor Abbott's threats of going to jail or 462 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 4: a five hundred dollars a day fine, because we're standing 463 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 4: on the right side of history, making our own good 464 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 4: trouble to fight to preserve and protect our democracy. 465 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: We're on the right side of history. 466 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 4: We're not beholding to the MAGA extremists that are trying 467 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 4: to disenfranchise black and brown communities. We're doing everything we 468 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 4: can to protect Texans, and so we're not going to 469 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 4: coward to Governor Abbot's bailed attempts of putting us in jail. 470 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: This is worth our democracy. This is not just about Texas. 471 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 4: As doctor King said, injustice anywhere as a threat to 472 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 4: justice everywhere. This is a about protecting our democracy, because 473 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 4: if they can do it in Texas, they can do 474 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 4: it anywhere else. 475 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: So we're gonna stand. 476 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 4: Strong, We're not going to back down, and we're gonna 477 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 4: keep pressing forward to protect every single Texans so that 478 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 4: they won't be disenfranchised.

And what is happening, 503 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: slowly but surely, is the Democrats can't change their playbook. 504 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: They're stuck to it. Racism, racism, racism, racism, racism. I'm 505 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: going to tell you something. When you see a person 506 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: claiming to represent black people, whether that be a black 507 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: person or a white liberal saying they view black people 508 00:31:54,600 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: as pets, they collect them and they will be the one, don't. 509 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm over here near their dog. Is is their pets 510 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: over here. They'll keep their pets over here. They'll do 511 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: what they want with their pets. You don't need to 512 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: interact because they know their pet the best. And they 513 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: treat adult minorities like children who must be protected by them. 514 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: But they don't actually ever do anything that is good 515 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: for them. And slowly but surely, America's minorities are beginning 516 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: to understand that because what the Democrats really want is communism, 517 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: and that's not good. And blacks and his fanics understand 518 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: that his fanics that fled from Venezuela or Cuba, they 519 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: get that. They recognize it. Blacks who came here from Africa, 520 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: they don't buy this nonsense. They know what happens with 521 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: an authoritarian government. They also know the Democrat cares more 522 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: about transgenders, about weird stuff, about global warming, about George Soros, 523 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: about keeping murderers back out on the streets, and blacks 524 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: and Hispanics and women and young people are now waking 525 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: up to the fact of, Hey, you know what, Donald 526 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: Trump's policies are better for me. I know, I can't 527 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: believe I just said that, but they're better for me. 528 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: A little bit helps us. Let me thank you, and 529 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: good night.
