This 13 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: is the Golden Age of America. 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 3: The Americans built this nation from thirteen humble colonies into 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 3: the pinnacle of human civilization and human freedom, the strongest, wealthiest, 16 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 3: most powerful, most successful nation in all of history. Americans 17 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 3: ventured out across the daunting and dangerous continent. We card 18 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 3: passed through an unforgiving wilderness, settled a boundless frontier, and 19 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 3: tamed the beautiful but very very dangerous wild West. From 20 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 3: empty marshes and wide open plains, we raised up the 21 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 3: world's greatest cities. Together, we mastered the world's mightiest industries, 22 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: shattered histories, monstrous tyrannies, and we liberated millions from the 23 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 3: chains of fascism, communism, oppression, and terrory. 24 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 4: On the poet, from normal planes, coming to America, never 25 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 4: looking back again, coming to America. 26 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 3: And these first two hundred and fifty years were just 27 00:01:59,440 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 3: the beginning. 28 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: From the rugged border. 29 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 3: Towns of Texas to the heartland villages of. 30 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: Michigan, from the sun kissed. 31 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: Shores of Florida to the endless fields of the Dakotas, 32 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 3: and from the historic streets of Philadelphia to right here 33 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 3: in our nation's capital, Washington, d C. The golden Age 34 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 3: of America is upon us. The revolution that began in 35 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 3: seventeen seventy six has not ended. It still continues because 36 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: the flame of liberty and independence still burns in the 37 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: heart of every American patriot. And our future will be bigger, better, brighter, bolder, 38 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 3: and more glorious than ever before. 39 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 4: Everywhere around the world, the Common to America every time 40 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 4: that flags on the world, The Common to America. 41 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: Today reminder that you have through Friday. At seven pm 42 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: each weekday, Today Tomorrow and Friday seven eight to seven 43 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,399 Speaker 2: p polls are open in Texas for the primaries Democrat 44 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: and Republican primaries, and then there is on Tuesday, another 45 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 2: day of voting. I don't know how to get around this, 46 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: but I find that people still think of election day 47 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: because that's the stupid term we use for it as 48 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: the day you're supposed to vote. I have noticed, because 49 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: our team clips political ads and sends them to me, 50 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: I've noticed that in some of the ads, not every 51 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 2: political consultant is good. They will refer and this is 52 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: going back weeks ago, I would appreciate your vote on 53 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: March third. If a candidate is telling you that they 54 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 2: would like for you, they're asking for your vote on 55 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: March third. That is not a smart move if you 56 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: leave people the opportunity to vote at the last minute. 57 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 2: There are several things that happen. Number one, and this 58 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: is every time the local it's it's the predictability that 59 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: is so exhausting. Tuesday night, the local news cameras will 60 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: go to a site that is a real heavy voter turnout, 61 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: and it'll most likely be a black precinct because you've 62 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: got the battle between Christian Menifee and Al Green and 63 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: it'll be over in say third word, because you get 64 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: the nastiest politics. In third word, I mean it's nasty. 65 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: I enjoyed it when I was running and holding office. 66 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 2: I enjoy the drama of it all. I mean the 67 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 2: seat I served in had been held by Sheila Jackson Lee. 68 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 2: I feel like I can hold my own anywhere. I've 69 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: got a lot of allies in black politics. And they 70 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: will go on Tuesday night at seven o'clock as the 71 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: polls close, and there will be a line out the door, 72 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: or it could be Sunnyside, it could be the Palm 73 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 2: Center or one of those locations, but most likely it'll 74 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: be third Ward and because they both that's kind of 75 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 2: a stronghold for both of them, Al Green and Christian 76 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: Menefee And they'll be a line out the door and 77 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 2: it'll hit seven o'clock and somebody will say, you know, 78 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: they they still don't let us vote, and they'll be 79 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: convinced that they're not good because they've been told this 80 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 2: over and over you so they've developed this mindset that 81 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: they're going to prevent us from voting, because if you're 82 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: in line by seven o'clock, you can still vote. And 83 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: they'll go toward the back of the line and they'll say, 84 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: you know, man on the streets always good, and they 85 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: know what's gonna make the best TV. Right, you don't. 86 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 2: You don't want a black guy in a suit and 87 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 2: a tie who's obviously an investment of anchor. He was 88 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: up there in the line, but you didn't go ask 89 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 2: his opinion. Uh, you don't want somebody that's a school teacher. 90 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 2: You want the guy at the back that's gonna give 91 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: you the hide your kids, hide your wife. They raping everybody. 92 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 2: That's what they want. That's better theater. So they'll find 93 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: that guy, and if he's not the first one, they'll 94 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: hang around till they get that guy. And uh, they'll say, 95 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: you know, the line looks like the Lion's gonna take 96 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 2: about two hours for you to vote, and they stick 97 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: the mark. You're gonna stay around now. It is what 98 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 2: they do. 99 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 5: They don't want us to vote. Seeing what they do. 100 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 5: They they done it my whole life. I see, I'm 101 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 5: sixty eight years old.

And that's what will be on 106 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: the news. And even though the reporter and the anchor 107 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: and the news director don't actually believe that because it's 108 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: a primary that kind of stuff. You just throw it 109 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: out there. It's it's the Roman colisseum it and you're 110 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: gonna watch it because you're gonna go, you idiot, and 111 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: you're gonna emotionally invest. That's not nobody did. That's a Democrat. 112 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: We don't care how many people vote over there, that 113 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 2: poor fool.

I find it disgusting is not 140 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: a strong enough word. It's objectifying women because they are 141 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: supposedly beautiful, because they're fit and and their bodies are oiled, 142 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: and their breasts are large and obviously you know, showing 143 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 2: shapely in these bikinis, and you know, and then they're 144 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 2: in high heels.

It was against the law for him 165 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: to vote. 166 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 6: He is now in jail in Montgomery County, arrested Wednesday. 167 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 6: He's facing felony charges for legal voting and a long 168 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 6: prison sentence. 169 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: He's twice before been convicted of a felony that raises 170 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: his range of punishment up to twenty five years to 171 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 2: life on each count. 172 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 6: The issue of voter fraud and election rights is center 173 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 6: stage at the state capitol this week, one of several 174 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 6: key issues being debated by lawmakers in a special session 175 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 6: called by Governor Greg Abbott. We spoke to a criminal 176 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 6: defense attorney, Christopher Downey, who isn't questioning the timing of Rogers' arrest, 177 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 6: but says, in nearly third years of practice, he's never 178 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 6: heard of anyone arrested for illegal voting, and certainly anyone 179 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 6: with a bond. Rogers is facings one hundred thousand dollars 180 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 6: in bonds for a voting infringement seems absurd on his face. 181 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 6: Rogers also accused of illegally voting in twenty eighteen when 182 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 6: he was also on parole. Then attorney Christopher Downey also 183 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 6: told me that one of the reasons rogers bonds may 184 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 6: be so high is because of his previous criminal record. 185 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 2: You think, you know, people love to say, you know, 186 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 2: nothing works, nobody does their job, the rules don't matter, 187 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 2: the system is flawed. But then when you actually enforce 188 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 2: the rules, that will stop the nonsense, Like I should 189 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: do that. I mean, it's a criminal defense attorney's job 190 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: to say that the law should be enforced. Once you 191 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 2: understand whose ox is being gored, once you understand the 192 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 2: role somebody has to play, then you don't have to 193 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: be mad at what they're saying. Think of everybody. As 194 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: a lawyer, you're going to be mad at Dan Cockdail 195 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: that he's representing a murderer. How could you do such 196 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 2: a thing because it pays, Well, that's his job, that's it. 197 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 2: That's his job. The guy working the front gate who 198 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 2: won't let you in is nothing personal. His job is 199 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 2: to prevent any more people from going in because the 200 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: fire MARSHALSS said nobody else gets in. It's just doing 201 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 2: his job. So that criminal defense attorney's job is to say, 202 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: you know, that's what he does all day, argue that 203 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 2: this is this is overreach, this is disproportionate. There's a proportionality, doctor, 204 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: and that that that you should You should punish proportional 205 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 2: to how important this is. And even though there is 206 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: a range within which you can you can issue a bomb, 207 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 2: that's too much, that's going too far. Well, why do 208 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: you think so many people vote illegally for this very reason? 209 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: Because they're never punished. I don't recall anyone ever being 210 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 2: punished for voting illegally. Yeah, well then that's what we're 211 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 2: going to fix. How do we fix it? Arrest somebody 212 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: for voting illegally? And by the way, he's done it 213 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: twice that we know of, So you look, that word 214 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 2: gets around and the next guy says, why I'm make 215 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 2: Barack Obama rich? He ain't gonna do anything for me anyway, 216 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 2: so I'm not going to vote illegally. Just that simple, Ramon, 217 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: can you go to six oh two that Jim just sent. 218 00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 2: It's over and it's worth noting. I think probably the 219 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: best story to come out of the Olympics. And this 220 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 2: isn't even really an Olympics story. But the good news 221 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: is he's our team, he's our country. This guy Jack Hughes, 222 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: I didn't realize, just learned this one. He lost his 223 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 2: tooth in that game. 224 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 4: Ramon. 225 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: If I lost my tooth, I'm out for a month. 226 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: He lost his tooth in that game. And listen to this. 227 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: This is AI reading it. So I'm sorry. It's horrible 228 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: the narrative, but it just lays the facts out there. 229 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 2: Go ahead. 230 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 7: Jack Hughes made history at the twenty twenty six Olympics, 231 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 7: and he didn't need teeth to do it. The team 232 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 7: USA hockey player who scored the winning goal against Canada 233 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 7: is sharing what went through his head the moment he 234 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 7: got his teeth knocked out during the February twenty second game. 235 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 7: Jack says that the USA Men's Hockey gold medal press conference, 236 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 7: my first thought was draw the penalty. Actually my first 237 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 7: thought was I looked on the ice and saw my like, 238 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 7: here we go again, because I know the last time 239 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 7: that happened, it wasn't very fun. But after Canadian forward 240 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 7: Sam Bennett took out at least three of Jack's teeth 241 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 7: with a high stick to the mouth, the New Jersey's 242 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 7: Devil player admits he wasn't too faced, saying in an 243 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 7: interview with NBC Chicago, it sounds definitely crazy for you 244 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 7: guys because it's just a different profession. But in hockey, 245 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 7: if you lose your teeth, it's not even a question 246 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 7: of coming back and playing. That's like automatic. However, Jack 247 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 7: says that frustration did eventually set in. I just was 248 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 7: feeling around my mouth and I was just disappointed I 249 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 7: lost my teeth, But it is what it is now. 250 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 7: As for whether he plans to get the teeth repaired anytime, soon, 251 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 7: He adds, I'm gonna fix these things. I want my 252 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 7: good smile back. 253 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, saying convenient. My teeth are missing, kind of whistling 254 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: when I talk. It's unfortunate. I like corn on the cob. 255 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: Guess I won't have any anytime soon. Guy Lewis and 256 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: I were texting back and forth. He wants that case 257 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: so bad. He wants that case. He wants to showcase 258 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: a beautiful head of teeth. You think Max got a 259 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 2: nice head of teeth, can you imagine? By the way, 260 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 2: it's our friend Rachel Palmer Hooper, whose husband's running for 261 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 2: Harris County party chair. She's the one who turned in 262 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: Hervis Rogers. She's general counsel of the state Republican Party. 263 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 2: She's the one who said he's voted illegally. This should 264 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: be prosecuted. You want the rules prosecuted, go to people 265 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: that are willing to do it. She's old DA. Did 266 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 2: you know that the Debbie Wrights. I just saw John Thune, 267 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 2: he's the Republican majority leader or the majority leader in 268 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: the Senate. Republican on Fox saying that he hoped that 269 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 2: Texas would send John Cornyan back to Washington to keep 270 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: Texas Red. The reporter was actually asking him why Trump 271 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 2: has not en endorsed Cornin soon responded, quote, we're working 272 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: on it. End quote. If Trump wanted Cornyn, who would 273 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 2: have endorsed him. I've not liked every Trump endorsement. When 274 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 2: Abbott got what he wanted out of the state House 275 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: with school vouchers, he got the President to agree that 276 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: the President would endorse every state Republican state rep running 277 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: for reelection if they passed school vouchers. So you had 278 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 2: a bunch of guys who have backstabbed the president at 279 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 2: every turn, a bunch of guys who side with the Democrats, 280 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 2: a bunch of guys who you could make a list 281 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: of thirty bad things they've done that the base would hate, 282 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: and now they got the Trump endorsement over school vouchers. 283 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 2: Now I've been part of a legislative body, I understand 284 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: you could argue, well, school vouchers was worth the pain 285 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 2: of a lot of bad guys getting to stay. And 286 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 2: if that's how you feel, then that's fine. That's we 287 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: don't I'm not telling you how to feel one way 288 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 2: or another. But you can also recognize, because there's nuance 289 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: to all of this, that Donald Trump doesn't know who 290 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 2: Stan Kitzman is or any other state rep. It's no 291 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 2: idea who they are. So his endorsement that they're going 292 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: to tout is not based on him going, you know 293 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 2: that guy down there in Brownsville, that's the one we 294 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 2: got to keep. So you process things like that. You're 295 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: a sophisticated guy if you're serving on a jury. OJ's 296 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: lawyers put a pair of gloves on his hands and 297 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 2: it doesn't appear to fit, and they say, if don't quit, 298 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 2: if it doesn't fit, you had to quit. You must acquit. 299 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 2: You don't go oh oh. Johny Cochran said that you 300 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 2: got a brain, you use it. This is a very 301 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: complicated process, but it's important for you to understand. And 302 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 2: if you take one thing away from me, only let 303 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 2: it be this. The consultants don't make a lot of 304 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: money crafting messages to get you to hate the candidate 305 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 2: who they hate, and love the candidate who they love. 306 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 2: They don't make a lot of money because you naturally 307 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 2: already felt that. They study you're like a zoo animal. 308 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: They're testing your blood, they're watching your habits. They know 309 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 2: where you shop, not you personally, although your dat is 310 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: out there. They know what you think about major issues. 311 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 2: They know what button to push for you, and it's 312 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 2: like every other algorithm. When you say I'm tired of 313 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 2: the you know, if you're a TikToker. For those of 314 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 2: you who get on TikTok, I'm tired of seeing videos 315 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: of animals in the wild who take up with some 316 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 2: other species and they're all love youw and now they're friends, 317 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: And why can't we be like that. That's dumb, it's 318 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 2: not realistic. What was the first one you saw? Well, 319 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 2: that was the one that they're giving you what you 320 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: first showed you liked. People used to say when I 321 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 2: ran the three AM stations, we weren't music stations, but 322 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 2: I can remember seeing emails come in and people would 323 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 2: go of top forty stations. They say, you play this 324 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: song over and over again. Yeah, that's what a top 325 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 2: forty station is. A Top forty station plays what's called 326 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 2: a power rotation, and not only do they play the 327 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 2: top forty songs over and over again, they play the 328 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,239 Speaker 2: top five constantly. And that is why you have this 329 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 2: phenomenon you didn't have in the eighties where a song 330 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 2: would be hot and it would stay hot. For a 331 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 2: while because the radio station says, oh, you really like 332 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: this song, We're going to give it to you every 333 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 2: twenty or thirty minutes. And so you went from not 334 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 2: knowing it to hearing it, to hearing it the second 335 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 2: time and really liking it, to within two weeks you 336 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: hate the song and you never want to hear the 337 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,719 Speaker 2: song again. The radio station doesn't care. Their goal is 338 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: to give you what you like, back to back to 339 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: back to back to back, and what you really really 340 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: like will be what you don't like if you over 341 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 2: dose on it. And that's what they do. Well, that's 342 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: what the political guys are doing. They're giving you what 343 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: they know you like. They're using the word say no. 344 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 2: It makes me crazy. I've stopped doing it because people 345 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 2: even go, hey, you know Trump, you're not voting for 346 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 2: this guy. We're here, but Trump is Okay, you think 347 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 2: Trump knows that guy, but I don't know. But he 348 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: endorsed him. Did he did Trump say stay I don't 349 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: stay in Kitsman? Did Trump say Joe Jones in in 350 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 2: uh dripping Springs and he really likes him, Well, he 351 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 2: endorsed him. If he didn't endure Okay, you know what 352 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: then you go vote for that guy. I don't know 353 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: why we're arguing about it. Why are we arguing about it? 354 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: Why do you need me to agree with you? Look, 355 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 2: it's not a debate. You get a vote and negative vote. 356 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 2: I'm not going to do what you say. I think 357 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 2: I understand the process better than you do. But you 358 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 2: know what, maybe I don't, maybe you do. Won't you 359 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 2: do what you want to do? And if you think 360 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 2: Trump endorse that guy and Trump loves that guy, that's 361 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 2: not to say Trump's endorsements don't matter. I know why 362 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 2: Trump endorsed Alex Miehler in the congressional race. And I 363 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: assure you Trump knows who Alex Mueller is. And I 364 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 2: assure you Trump knows who Briscoe Caine is. He knows 365 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: very well who Briscoe Kane is. He really likes Alex Mueller, 366 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 2: he really does not like Riscokine. And you may say, well, 367 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 2: that's odd. Briscoe Caine could have claimed that Donald Trump 368 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 2: endorsed him if Briscoe Caine had run for reelection as 369 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: a state rep. Because he already had the Trump endorsement. 370 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 2: Because remember Trump told Abbot Abbot asked him, can I 371 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 2: give all of them a blanket endorsement. If we get 372 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 2: school Voucher's pastor Yes. So they all came out as 373 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 2: Trump endorsed me. Problem is they did it so early 374 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: that people had forgotten it. Trump didn't who any of 375 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 2: those people were. He does know who Briscoe Kane is, 376 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 2: because Briscoe Kine is the one who drunk Dade said, Hey, 377 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: you want to be the assassin of Ken Paxton. Want 378 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 2: to lead the floor fight. Nobody takes you seriously. Right. 379 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: We won't get into why nobody takes him seriously and 380 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 2: what's happened in the past, but nobody, we'll take you seriously. 381 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,719 Speaker 2: You can lead the floor fight against Ken Paxton. You 382 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 2: can be the guy that the base sees as taking 383 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 2: out our attorney general who just got elected by the 384 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 2: voters a few months ago. And if you do that, 385 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 2: we'll let you sit at the big boy table. Be 386 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 2: like Lindsey Graham running for president. Remember he just wanted 387 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 2: to sit at the big boy table. There, you'll get 388 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 2: to sit at the big boy table. That's not the 389 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 2: only thing that Briscoe Kine did that Trump doesn't like. 390 00:24:54,160 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 2: He loves Meeler's background business service mommy. So that's a 391 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: real endorsement, the mealor endorsement, real endorsement, the not endorsing briscocine. Ay, sure, 392 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked.

Definitely not the American dream 433 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 2: even a little bit. But hey, they wrote you a 434 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 2: bunch of checks. Also wrote over a million dollars in 435 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: checks to Greg Abbott for what it's worth. At some 436 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 2: point you wonder why these things happen. The politicians believe 437 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 2: that you'll never find out about it. They believe you'll 438 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 2: never find out about it, and that if you do, 439 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 2: it'll be so long. If you do, they won't have 440 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 2: an opponent in the primary. And if they do have 441 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 2: if they are found out and they do have an 442 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 2: opponent in the primary, that opponent won't have any money, 443 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 2: and they'll have all the money. And if you do 444 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: find out about it, and they do have an opponent 445 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 2: in the primary, and that opponent, by some stroke of luck, 446 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 2: has a little money and a name out there to compete. 447 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 2: See in this case, Briscocine didn't know he would be 448 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 2: running for congress. How did he not know you'd be 449 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 2: running for congress? Nobody knew they were going to redistrict. 450 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,719 Speaker 2: Over the years when he's been taking money from Colony Ridge, 451 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 2: question isn't did he take money from Coliney Ridge. That's official. 452 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 2: The question is what did Colinie Ridge get out of him. 453 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 2: I'm less bothered with the politician taking the money. I'm 454 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 2: more bothered with what he gave them because he doesn't 455 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 2: have anything to give them. The only thing he can 456 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 2: give them belongs to you. National security, community safety. That's 457 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 2: what they're trading. They didn't ask Brady Kane or Bobby Kane, 458 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 2: just average guys on the street to accept these big 459 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 2: fat checks. They asked this state Rep. And this governor. 460 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: In fairness, they asked another state Rep. Two Ernest Bells. 461 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 2: And when we called Ernest Bells out on it, because 462 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 2: he was their boy, he belonged to Coliney Ridge. He 463 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 2: gave a speech that night at a town hall and 464 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: he said, Michael Barry doesn't run this district. Michael Barry 465 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 2: doesn't get to decide whether I take money or not. 466 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: And that's true. But Michael Berry did expose that you 467 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 2: took all that money and you're no longer a state Rep. So, 468 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: in a sense, because I don't think they're paying him 469 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 2: any longer now that he's not a state Rep. He's 470 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 2: not really useful to them. So when Briscoe Kane took 471 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 2: all that money. He never thought he'd be running for Congress. 472 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 2: He never thought he'd be running for Congress and have 473 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 2: to answer for it against an opponent like Alex Meehler, 474 00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 2: who was cheated out of the county judge race. Her 475 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 2: name ID is through the roof. She's got Mattress Mack out. 476 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: And I don't know if you've ever been out in 477 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 2: public with Mattress Mack. He's crazy. He is a rock star, 478 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 2: an absolute rock star. You can't imagine rich people, poor people, Republicans, Democrats, white, black, young, 479 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 2: old people love Mac, I mean love him. It's uncanny. 480 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 2: I just got the news that the Houston from Antoinette Fraser, 481 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: so the Coastguard Petty Officer Scott Ruskin last night saved 482 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: all those people Houston Rodeo Parade this weekend, Coastguard Petty 483 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 2: Officer Scott Ruskin will be Grand Marshall.
