1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: It's that time time sign time, luck and load. So 2 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: Michael Very Show is on. 3 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 2: The air. 4 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: To Canada's running against John Corny. 5 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 3: John Cornyn has been in third place all the money 6 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 3: he's spent, going on one hundred million dollars. Ken Paxton 7 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 3: was first in the race. Wesley Hunt joined thereafter. Ken 8 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 3: Paxton head to head beats John Cornyn in every poll 9 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 3: I've seen, and in my gut, we know that to 10 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 3: be the case, despite the fact that they impeached him 11 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 3: in the House, despite the fact that they have done 12 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 3: everything they possibly can. They've tried to bring criminal charges 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 3: against him. They impeached him in the House, they have 14 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 3: trashed him. And it's a set group of people. And 15 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 3: by the way, if you look at the money behind it, 16 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: it's all the people who supported Nicki Haley against Trump. 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: They hate Trump. Trump loves Ken Paxton. 18 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 3: They don't want Ken Paxton in the United States Senate 19 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 3: because he would be the third in the punch bowl 20 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 3: for their party of self dealing. 21 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,279 Speaker 1: And that's fact. 22 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 3: But Paxton leads right now despite everything they've thrown at him. 23 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 3: He leads much like Trump in twenty sixteen, or for 24 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 3: that matter of Trump in twenty twenty four. The Attorney 25 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 3: General Ken Paxon is our guest. Welcome to the program. Hey, 26 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 3: great to be back. 27 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 4: Good morning to you and all your great listeners. 28 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 3: Let's start with why it is that Washington, DC is 29 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 3: hammering Wesley Hunt. I said to you when Wesley got 30 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 3: in the race, that him getting in the race, when 31 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 3: people thought you were going to attack him, I said, no, no, no, 32 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 3: you don't understand the race. He's going to draw votes 33 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: away from Cornyn. He's going to hurt Cornyn and it's 34 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 3: going to mean that Corny's going to attack him instead 35 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 3: of Paxton. 36 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 4: Well, you were not wrong, and I was pretty pretty 37 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 4: assured of the same thing. So what's happening now is 38 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 4: you said, at least in the Houston area, Wesley's getting 39 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 4: hammered by by Cornyn because Corn's worried about finishing third now, 40 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 4: so he's got to go after Wesley. He's been attacking 41 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 4: me since April, but now he's he's got a two 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 4: front war, which I love, and he's got to deal 43 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 4: with Wesley. I mean, there's a very real risk that 44 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 4: John Cornyn, after spending who knows seventy million by the 45 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 4: time we get to March third finishes third. 46 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 3: That's a possibility when you say a two front war, 47 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 3: if we were to use a World War Two analogy, 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: when Hitler attacks Russia instead of finishing off England, which 49 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 3: I think he could have done, or finishing off the 50 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: gas in retreat at Dunkirk. Do you see yourself sort 51 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 3: of as the England on the west and Wesley on 52 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 3: the Russia on the Eastern front, with Cornan as Hitler 53 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 3: or which one do you want to be? 54 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 4: I think I prefer to be England. I don't want 55 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 4: to be Russia. 56 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: You're more of a Winstern Churchill kind of guy. 57 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 4: It's more of a Winster Churchill guy than I was 58 00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 4: a Stalin guy, that's for sure. 59 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: If Ken Pashton, if you are elected to the United 60 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: States Senate and you replace John Cornyn, what is an 61 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 3: area where people would immediately notice a change in our 62 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 3: level of representation in the Senate? 63 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be in every area from 64 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 4: personal help. I know that I've traveled the state and 65 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 4: I just I have people complain constantly that he will 66 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 4: not help them with things you'd expect the US Center 67 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 4: do the things that they have to go to ted 68 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 4: CRUs for because they don't have a second centator that says, yeah, 69 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 4: I want to help you because I care, and then secondly, 70 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 4: have a centator that actually represents us on the issues 71 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 4: instead of voting for massive spending and going from a 72 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 4: six point two trillion depthsit when he started between the 73 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 4: time of Washington and Corner with six point two trillion, 74 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 4: that we're thirty eight trillion voter integrity, trying to get 75 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 4: something passed federally so that we protect our elections all 76 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: across the country, not just in Texas. Taxes. I mean 77 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 4: the second Amendment issue that he sided with Joe Biden on. 78 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: She related it, you know, the border wall that suddenly 79 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 4: he's you know, four, but he fought for you know, 80 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 4: over a decade and has pushed ambeesty. So almost every issue. 81 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 4: And one of the things that I have talked to 82 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 4: people across the state since April the eighth, when I 83 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 4: got the race, I've asked them one question. Can you 84 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 4: name every group, no matter how big or small. I 85 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: asked it last night in front of about tw hundred 86 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 4: and fifty people in four Worth. I said, how many 87 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 4: can any of you name one good accomplishment, not the 88 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 4: bad stuff, One good accomplishment for John Cornet, and let's 89 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 4: give him. He's been an office since I was in 90 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 4: college and I'm sixty three. Let's give him the whole career, 91 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 4: all the way back to when he was this, you know, 92 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: Supreme Court justice to state dis judge a g twenty 93 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 4: four years in the Senate. Can you name one good accomplishment? 94 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 4: And no one has ever come forward and given me 95 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 4: an answer to that question. 96 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 3: It's interesting that he trashed the wall, I mean trashed 97 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 3: the wall and now has the audacity to run ads 98 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 3: saying that he supports the wall. He trashed Trump told 99 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 3: Trump to get out of the race. Hell the press conference, 100 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: so it's not like it was a back room meeting 101 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: and he was. Drump held a press conference where he 102 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 3: said that America needs to move past Trump. 103 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: Trump can't win. 104 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 3: As Nicki Haley came to the state and now acts 105 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: like they're best friends. It's really cynical. Can passion. It's 106 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 3: beyond just politics. It's very cynical. 107 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 4: It's also pathetic. It's pathetic that he has adopted all 108 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 4: new positions, not just a little different from his positions 109 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 4: over the last several decades, but like on the opposite end, 110 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 4: I don't think a border wall is a good idea. 111 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 4: I'll say it over and over. I've got so well, 112 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 4: he's probably been clipped fifteen or twenty times saying that 113 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 4: I'm for amnesty yet. But you know, now he's not. 114 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 4: I love Trump. Now Trump should be in jail. So 115 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 4: it's his positions are so diametrically opposed. It's diabolical how 116 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 4: much he's willing to lie just for a few months. 117 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 4: Once the primeter is over, the fake John Corny goes 118 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 4: away and we get the real John corn back. 119 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting. Here's just one of many times that 120 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: he said this. I can say from first hand experience 121 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 3: that a new giant wall between the United States and 122 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 3: Mexico from sea to shining Sea makes no sense whatsoever. 123 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 3: He's on the record so many times saying this. And 124 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: now there's these pictures of him with his ball cap 125 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 3: turned backwards. Good grief, like he's in a Morgan Wallen 126 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: video or something. And there they are on a boat 127 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 3: along the border as if you know, the illegals are running. 128 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, is John Cornyon. It is absurd and 129 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: it's insulting. 130 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 4: Well it is. And here's the thing. He's convinced that 131 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 4: if he spends enough money, whatever it is can be 132 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 4: right now, it's play close to fifty million, you know, 133 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 4: three million dollars almost every week since the middle of July, 134 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 4: lying to us that the Republican voters of Texas will 135 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 4: believe that he is pro trumped and he really does 136 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 4: love Trump, that he really did vote with him ninety aifercent, 137 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 4: that he really is for a border wall. It's just 138 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 4: a lie. He's lying about everything he says, whether it's 139 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 4: about me or whether it's about him. He's dishonest, and 140 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 4: we should not reward that. Texas deserves better. We deserve 141 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 4: somebody much more like Ted Cruz than we have been 142 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 4: what we have here, which is a guy that maybe 143 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 4: maybe if he were in Maine, we'd be okay with it. 144 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 5: You know. 145 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: Milton Friedman had a great line and Thomas sol ended 146 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: up with another version of it that oftentimes something gets 147 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: passed off as the truth simply Often a lie gets 148 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 3: passed off as a truth simply because it's repeated enough times, 149 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: and he's got the money to do that in a 150 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: big state, and that makes it very, very frightening. You 151 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 3: are currently the leader, the hands on favorite to win 152 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 3: this race. For my money, I'd like to see I'd 153 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 3: rather see a run off between you and Wesley Hunt. 154 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: I'd like to see John Cornyn and the establishment done. 155 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: I'd like to see the big boys out of controlling 156 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 3: our Senate seat. And I'd like to see real representation 157 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: from from the state of Texas.

It used to be just 179 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 3: kind of like a sleepy little town. But you've got 180 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 3: so much development going on there and and and uh, yeah, 181 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: it's gotten really contentious. 182 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: I get updates on what's going on there. 183 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 3: Able in Edinburgh, eure up who you voting for and why? 184 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna vote for I'm gonna vote for Worthy Hunt. 185 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 5: But that's Uh. My question is if you can actually 186 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 5: uh is that three years ago? I asked you about 187 00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 5: uh Cruise for uh, if Cruise would nominate for Supreme Court, 188 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 5: who would you go for it? You said no, that 189 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 5: you texted his needs and more. Is your opinion still 190 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 5: the same? I think Trump mentioned him now here lately 191 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 5: that he wanted him as a Supreme Court judge. 192 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: Trump doesn't want him on the Supreme Court. He was 193 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 3: screwing with Ted Cruz. That was he was yanking his chain. 194 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 3: You know, it makes some people uncomfortable when I have 195 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 3: someone on and I kind of yanked their chain and messwim. 196 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 3: That's what Trump was doing. He knows that Ted Cruz 197 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 3: doesn't want to be on the Supreme Court. He did 198 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 3: not say that as a compliment. He said that as 199 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 3: a as a way of saying he can't be president 200 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 3: and to distract people. You know, Cruse is trying to 201 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 3: gain support for a twenty eight presidential run. And that 202 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: was that was Trump kind of damning him with faint praise. 203 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 3: Wouldn't he make a great senator? And if you listen 204 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 3: to what he said, he said Democrats would support him 205 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: on the Supreme Court just to get him out of 206 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 3: the Senate. And then he said Republicans would support him 207 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 3: being on the Supreme Court just to get him out 208 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 3: of the Senate. It you know, maybe maybe when he 209 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 3: was younger in life, Ted Cruz would have liked to 210 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 3: have been a Supreme Court justice. He loves the lore, 211 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 3: he loves the study of jurisprudence. But he has put 212 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 3: that life behind him. That that is not that is 213 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 3: a very solitary life. Ted Cruz, for better or for worse, 214 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 3: loves the public eye. He loves, you know, playing basketball 215 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: against Jimmy Kimmel. He loves traveling the country and and 216 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 3: all those sorts of things he does. It's a very solitary, academic, 217 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: hermit like life to be a Supreme Court justice. Cruz 218 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 3: has no interest in that. So it really doesn't matter 219 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 3: whether you think he'd be good or not. I think 220 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: he'd be great. He doesn't have any interest in it 221 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: at all, not even a little bit. Victor, who you 222 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 3: for and why? 223 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: Number one? 224 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Victor, start over, I messed up, Victor and 225 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: love it. Who are you for? And why? 226 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 2: Mike? I'm sorry, Wesley Hunt. Michael all right one. Number one, 227 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 2: he has experienced in the Congress. He knows how that 228 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: swamp kind of does itself dirty. And also, but I 229 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: had a question for you, Michael. You don't you what 230 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: happened to the election. I'm afraid to turn out in 231 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 2: the mid terms. I'm afraid the Democrats are going to 232 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: get back control of the House and the Senate because 233 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: of turnout. And I've been praying about it, but it 234 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 2: truly concerns me. 235 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: Well, do your part to get people to vote. That's 236 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: all we can do. 237 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 3: Well, we have a process of self governance, okay, And 238 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 3: it's like when your kid turns eighteen and moves out 239 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 3: of the house, and they want independence, and all of 240 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 3: a sudden they got independence. 241 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: What are they doing. 242 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 3: They're coming home that first weekend so mama can can 243 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 3: do their laundry because independence came with responsibility. Right to 244 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 3: his credit, Michael t not bring his laundry home for 245 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 3: mama to do it. I don't want to give the 246 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 3: wrong impression. That wouldn't be fair to him. But a 247 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 3: lot of kids do and doesn't make them bad kids. 248 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 3: Independence sounds really good. Self governance sounds real good compared 249 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 3: to the alternative. But self governance requires that we be 250 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 3: part of the government, and people don't want that. I 251 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 3: get this all the time. They want the ron po pill, 252 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: set it and forget it. They don't want to keep 253 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: having elections. They don't want to keep having to figure 254 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: out what candidate they're going to be for. They want 255 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 3: somebody to tell them they don't want to show up 256 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 3: and vote. All the people will say that they're aggravated 257 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 3: that people aren't voting, and then you look them up 258 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 3: and they didn't vote. Look, I don't care if only 259 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 3: five people. I wish I was the only one voting 260 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: in the Republican primary. I'm not worried about turnout in 261 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 3: the Republican primary. I wish I was the only one 262 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 3: that I could pick them, because I think I'm real 263 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 3: good at it and I want my picks to win. 264 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 3: But you're going to have low turnout in the primaries, 265 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 3: and that's the reason to show up and vote, because 266 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 3: your vote is weighted heavily. There's so few people that 267 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 3: vote in the Republican primary that you can have a 268 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 3: great influence showing up to vote. And you know what happens. 269 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 3: People have this impression, well, I don't know off of 270 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 3: the candidates. I don't know enough of what's going on, 271 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 3: and I'm busy, I don't want to learn, so they 272 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 3: leave it. Who do you think shows up and votes? Insiders, 273 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: swamp creatures, establishmentarians. You get a lot of people that 274 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 3: show up and vote, that vote every Republican primary that 275 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 3: are silk stocking Republicans, the country club Republican, the Republican 276 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 3: that loves Mitt Romney and John Cornyn and Jeb Bush. 277 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 3: That's who votes in Republican primaries or who has historically. 278 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 3: Now you've had the rise of the constitutional conservative, the 279 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: tea party guy, the Maga guy. If but they're much 280 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 3: better at voting every quadrennial for Donald Trump. They've done it, 281 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 3: three quadrennials in a row, three presidential elections in a. 282 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: Row over a twel year periods. Pretty impressive. 283 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 3: But can we get them out because we have a 284 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 3: chance to cleanse this party of John Cornyan. And I'll 285 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 3: tell you this, that'll be a wake up call to 286 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 3: the entire United States senator if we can beat Cornyn. 287 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 3: And they tried so hard. You know, those guys are 288 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: so diabolical. Do you know how hard they work to 289 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 3: keep Paxton out of the race. You remember that whole 290 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 3: impeachment they pulled. That was all to keep him from 291 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 3: running again. That's all to keep this right now that's 292 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 3: happening from happening, and that is Paxton beating Paxton, leading 293 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 3: him in the polls. They knew that would happen. They 294 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 3: knew the grassroots were for Paxton, not Corning. 295 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: They knew that would happen. Seven nine, one thousand. Who 296 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: are you for? And why Carolyn? You're up? Who you for? 297 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: And why? I?

It's kind of a bubble district. 302 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 3: It's a purple district that leans blue. But if you 303 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 3: could get some of those white moderates in West u 304 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 3: and bel Air to vote Republican, you can win. That's 305 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 3: that's why the Republicans we've had in that seat have 306 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 3: been kind of very very moderate Republicans. And you know, 307 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 3: Tea party folks get mad, But the best Republican you're 308 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 3: going to. 309 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: Get there is not a good conservati Republican. 310 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 3: If you want a Republican, you're gonna have to settle 311 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 3: for Sarah Davis or Martha Long Andrew who you got 312 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 3: and why. 313 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 7: Ken pact because he's willing to go again to the 314 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 7: grain and get what needs to be done done. 315 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 3: All right, seven one thousand, Your calls coming up far 316 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 3: too soon. 317 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 5: We do a lot of. 318 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 3: Politics between now and March third.

If you have fewer than you lose. So 398 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 3: for all the people who say we need to have 399 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 3: a meeting, you need to meet me for coffee and 400 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 3: we need to hash this out, nobody. 401 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: Is as valuable as they say they are. 402 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 3: Nobody is delivering all these votes that they say they do. 403 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 3: Nobody is able to tell all these people how to 404 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 3: vote the way they say they do. 405 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: Period. 406 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 3: The date for endorsements has passed. Endorsements are only important 407 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 3: at the front end to the money people because money 408 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 3: people like to go with the horse they're going to win. 409 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 3: Money people don't care who should be in office. They 410 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 3: care who they think is going to be in office, 411 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 3: particularly money people that do business with government. They just 412 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 3: want to support the horse that's already going to win 413 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 3: so they can get the contracts. So you have to 414 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 3: show them you're going to win. And the way you 415 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 3: do that it's false, but it works, is you get. 416 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: Endorse one's up front. It's just that simple. It's a game. 417 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 3: But at this point, voters don't care. Candidates focus on 418 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 3: things that get you votes. If you find yourself going 419 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 3: to gatherings and getting up there and going, guys, you're 420 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 3: just gonna have to forgive me. I'm so mad. They 421 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 3: have about pissed me off. They've gotten on my last 422 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 3: No voter came to hear you talk about how mad 423 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 3: you are. No voter cares whether another campaign has stolen 424 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 3: your sign, whether another campaign is lying about you. 425 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: No voter cares. 426 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 3: And you know what you're about to do, which is 427 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 3: a cardinal rule of politics, and a lot of people 428 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 3: do it. You're about to give voice to your opponent's 429 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 3: criticism against you. If Bob is running against Susie, and 430 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 3: Bob says, Susie is a cannibal. She had lots of relatives, 431 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 3: but she ate them all. And Susie shows up and 432 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 3: says to the people, none of whom know that he's 433 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 3: been saying that. Susie shows up and says, he says, 434 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 3: I'm a cannibal. I'm not a cannibal. Why would I 435 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 3: be a cannibal? I promise I'm not a canniballe I'm 436 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 3: really not a cannibal. 437 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: I don't know why he says that he's a liar. 438 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 3: I'm not a cannibal, you know, the only thing people 439 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 3: take away from that Susie in a cannibal. Some people 440 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 3: will believe her, some people won't. But nobody says, you know, 441 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 3: I wasn't sure who to vote for, but old Susie's 442 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: really mad about being accused, So I'm going to vote 443 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 3: for Susie. Nobody cares that your signs are being stolen. Nobody, 444 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 3: I understand. It's frustrating. 445 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: Get outside the bubble. 446 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 3: That is, the people that are close to you, the operatives, 447 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 3: the volunteers, the money people, your family. Oh man, they're 448 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 3: talking bad about you over at Smith High School and 449 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 3: they're saying that you can't win. Who get her on 450 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 3: the phone. No individual matters at this point. It's a 451 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 3: numbers game. Go out and meet voters because guess what. 452 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 3: The voter who who has voted in every election, the 453 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 3: voter who is the grand poobah of this precinct or 454 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 3: district or whatever that. Oh, you want that person to 455 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 3: vote you because they're sric, because they're the precinct chair, 456 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 3: because they're the press. It another this, because that person's 457 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 3: vote is still one vote go get votes one by one. 458 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: That's it. It's that simple, and it's so easy to 459 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: get distracted. David, who you voting for? 460 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 3: And why why I got Aaron Rights for AG? 461 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,479 Speaker 4: Because I think he's got the right experience, he's a brawler, 462 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 4: and he can pick up where Paxton left off. 463 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 3: All of those things are true. He would make a 464 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 3: great AG. The problem I worry about is whether he 465 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 3: can raise the money to get the name idea. He's 466 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 3: never been on the ballot. Well, yes, he ran in 467 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 3: a race before, but he's not a name that is 468 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 3: known statewide. And it's like the old Eddie Murphy movie 469 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 3: the name. You know, a lot of people will vote 470 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 3: for a name they know just because they don't want 471 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 3: to admit that they don't know any of the candidates 472 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 3: in a race. In a primary. You know, in a 473 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: general election, it's okay that you don't know the name. 474 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 3: Just vote for the ones with an R after him. 475 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 3: But in a primary, if you don't know the name, 476 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 3: don't vote. But if people do know the name, sometimes 477 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 3: they just recognize the name. Somebody asked me over the 478 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 3: we can do yard sign? I mean sorry, do signs matter? 479 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 3: Signs on public roads don't hurt, they don't hurt how 480 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 3: much they help. 481 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: It's hard to know. 482 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 3: Signs in yards matter because a sign in the yard 483 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 3: is a person saying I like that person so much, 484 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 3: I'm willing to tell everybody about it. Bumper stickers matter 485 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 3: because that's a movie. I ran I what had Houston pressed? 486 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 3: Tim Fleck at the time said the best or worse. 487 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 3: He hated me for it, but the best sign campaign 488 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 3: in city of Houston history. 489 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: I had signs everywhere. 490 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 3: I went to David Greenberg, who owns a Brazilian properties, 491 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 3: and he let me put signs everywhere. I went to 492 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 3: small business owners. I had a whole army of people 493 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 3: putting out signs because I was a new candidate. 494 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: And I needed to be able to build my name. 495 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 3: So yeah, I do believe signs matter. The closer you 496 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 3: get to the election, they don't. But Joe, who you 497 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 3: vote for? 498 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 4: Why? 499 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 3: Oh, look for anybody from the Corumbra or then a whereer, 500 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 3: But hey, who you vote for? 501 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: And why? Linda, who you vote for? And why who 502 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: you voted for? 503 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 3: And why if you get through on the line, we'll 504 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 3: put you on seven one three, nine, nine, nine, one 505 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 3: thousand and the real clear politics poll average coming out 506 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 3: as an individual poll that is kind of averaging a 507 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 3: group of them. To try to create some sense of 508 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 3: evening out the disparities between the polls. Almost every poll 509 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: has had Paxton winning going back to May of last year. 510 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 3: There were two polls that didn't, and they had corn 511 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,959 Speaker 3: And winning by one percentage point, whereas Paxton has been 512 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 3: up as much as seven percentage points at various times. 513 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 3: In one poll, Paxton was up forty six thirty eight. 514 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 3: The Hunt introduction into the campaign took more votes from 515 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 3: Paxton than Cornyn, and you might think to yourself, well, 516 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 3: this is kind of like h Ross Perrot in nineteen 517 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 3: ninety two. You might think to yourself, well, Hunt getting 518 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 3: in the race hurts Paxton because Paxton is the alternative 519 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 3: to Cornyan. But that's not actually true. That's not the 520 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 3: way this race is shaping up. Paxton is the choice, 521 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 3: and Cornyn, if the alternative to Paxton, does better than 522 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 3: Cornyn in the abstract, because in the main, Cornyn is 523 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 3: not a strong candidate. He is quite disliked, especially amongst 524 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 3: Republican primary voters. They don't like him. 525 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: That's why he looks so desperate. 526 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 3: What you're watching now is the remaking of John Cornyan, 527 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 3: mister everyman, mister John Wayne mccorny, and mister cowboy hat 528 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 3: mister out on the boat patrolling the border. As if 529 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 3: we're supposed to believe that. I'm more willing to believe 530 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 3: George P.

Look, the people 604 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: hate cornying. 605 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 3: We got to see if we can talk them in 606 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 3: to vote for him against his own wishes. 607 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: We got all the money from DC. 608 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 3: We're gonna spend it down in Texas to tell those 609 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 3: Hillbillies and rednecks and Hicks and idiots to vote for him. 610 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 3: But what can we tell them that will make them 611 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 3: want to vote for him. Well, let's do a poll. 612 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 3: Let's figure out why they hate him. Got the poll 613 00:31:58,920 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 3: numbers here. 614 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: It's not good. 615 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 3: Apparently him saying when Trump was running to build a wall, 616 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 3: and him saying, you can't build a wall, it won't work. 617 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 3: Apparently they didn't like that. Okay, here's a deal. How 618 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 3: many of those people have died off or forgotten. If 619 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 3: we just spend a bunch of money saying John Wayne 620 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 3: mccornyn wants a wall, and we say it enough times, 621 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 3: there's a lot of new people moving in down there. 622 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: They came in from California, they came in from New York. 623 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: They won't know. We'll say John Wayne. 624 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 3: Mccorny, he wants to build a wall. Wesley Hunt and 625 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 3: Kim Paxton, they don't. John Wayne mccornyn, he loves Trump. 626 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 3: Those other guys don't. That's a complete lie. It doesn't matter. 627 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 3: You just keep saying it. And that's how this works. 628 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 3: That's why sometimes you've got to cast votes in a 629 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 3: race where somebody is imperfect, where you don't agree with 630 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 3: the one hundred percent of people. A lot of people 631 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 3: did that for Trump. A lot of people voted for 632 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 3: the policy, not the person, because they said, I don't 633 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,479 Speaker 3: like that he does this. Okay, you don't have to. 634 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 3: It's Trump or Kamala, period. And whatever you think of Trump, 635 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 3: if you ever don't like something he does, just remember 636 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 3: the alternative was Kamala Harris. This is our chance to 637 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 3: stick it to the man. This is our chance to 638 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 3: show DC you don't choose our senator. 639 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: Period.
