Speaker 4: All right.

45
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: Elvis has left the building. I've told you absolutely straight

46
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: up to this point. You know that he has left

47
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: the building.

48
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 4: He left the stage and went out the back with

49
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 4: the policeman.

50
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: And he is now gone from the building.

51
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 6: It's Elvis's ninetieth birthday, and we want to talk about

52
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 6: that for a moment. First coming up in our next segment,

53
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 6: we talked to Professor Josh Blackman about two issues related

54
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 6: to President Trump and the Supreme Court. Won The President

55
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 6: has appealed to the Supreme Court to prevent the January tenth,

56
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 6: that would be this Friday sentencing of him, saying that

57
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 6: that should be delayed. We'll talk about the strength of

58
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 6: his case, what he's trying to accomplish in the likelihood

59
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,119
Speaker 6: that he'll be successful, as well as a case before

60
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 6: the Supreme Court that the President is involved with related

61
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 6: to TikTok in whether TikTok as it's currently constituted as

62
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 6: a Chinese entity, will continue both.

63
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: I think very interesting issues.

64
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 6: After that, we'll talk to Sergio Sanchez, who is the

65
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 6: program director and top talk host on a station in

66
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 6: South Texas in what is known as the Rio Grand

67
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 6: Valley the RGV, an area that has historically for well

68
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 6: over one hundred years been dominated by the Democrats. But

69
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 6: Sergio has been a leader in the movement to register

70
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 6: and motivate Hispanics, Latinos, Mexican Americans, whatever you want to

71
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 6: call them in that area to show up and vote Republican.

72
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 6: Trump carried the region. Monica de la Cruz won Congress

73
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 6: two years ago as a Republican. Maia Florides shocking win

74
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 6: in a special election in a congressional rate race two

75
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 6: years ago. The full Thirteenth Court of Appeals, which is

76
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 6: the appellate court for state courts in Texas, is now Republican,

77
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 6: something we never expected.

78
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: We had a Republican.

79
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 6: Adam Henajosa defeated a Democrat or a state Senate.

80
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: See.

81
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 6: I don't normally get into local elections. I don't live there.

82
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 6: It's five and a half hours south of where I

83
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,559
Speaker 6: live in Houston, on a national show. But what we're

84
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 6: seeing is that our message is residing with voters who

85
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 6: were as blue as blue could be. And if we

86
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 6: can win the Rio Grand Valley, we can win California.

87
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 6: We can win other places with people that were long

88
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 6: standing Democrats who share our values. White liberals don't share

89
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 6: our values, but Hispanics do, and way more blacks do

90
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 6: than people realize. We'll get to all that on the

91
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 6: celebration of Elvis's ninetieth birthday. Some of you might not

92
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 6: know that Donald Trump is a massive Elvis fan, as

93
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,559
Speaker 6: am I. In fact, he won't say that he looks

94
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 6: like Elvis. He will say that people have told him

95
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 6: it looks like Elvis. And if you've never seen a

96
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 6: picture of Elvis at thirty and Donald Trump at thirty

97
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 6: side by side, you will be shocked at the resemblance.

98
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 6: I'll tell you a quick story. We were staying at

99
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 6: Marlago last January. I guess it was last January?

100
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: Was it two years ago?

101
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Last year?

102
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 2: Might have been two years ago? And we're sitting two

103
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: tables away.

104
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 6: I'm with Eddie Martini, who's my boss, and his wife

105
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 6: lives in my way, and the president's two tables away.

106
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: It's a small little.

107
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 6: Dining rooms and outdoor dining room, and the president has

108
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 6: dinner there every night that he's in attendance. And he

109
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 6: has an iPad and he's playing with it and he's

110
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 6: running the music up loud the way I would he's getting.

111
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 6: He starts a song and it's mostly Elvis, a little

112
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 6: bit of Freddie Mercury, a little bit of David Bowie,

113
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 6: and a little bit of Ave Maria, and he's kind

114
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 6: of rotating those things. And he has two ladies with him,

115
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 6: and since I have to tell his story fast, I'll

116
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 6: leave it at this. My wife goes to the restroom

117
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 6: and this lady. We don't know who the two ladies

118
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 6: are because they have their back to us, but the

119
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 6: president is very President Trump is very focused on them.

120
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 6: This lady tells my wife that my wife's dress is stunning,

121
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 6: and it was. My wife comes out and we come out,

122
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 6: and I ask the bartender, because I still have Ha's interface,

123
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 6: who's the lady having President with who's having dinner with

124
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 6: President Trump?

125
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: Priscilla Presley.

126
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 6: She comes around the corner and that's her, and it

127
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 6: is her Lisa Marie Presley would die the next day,

128
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 6: so she was with President Trump the day before she

129
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 6: passed in Florida. She was at an art exhibit. It's

130
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 6: just it's as close as I ever got to Elvis,

131
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 6: who died long before I had the chance to meet him.

132
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 6: But it's his ninetieth birthday, and for a big part

133
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 6: of our audience like me, it's an important date, an

134
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 6: important part person for Americana in our lives.

135
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show, Michael Berry Show.

136
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 6: We're on a short time frame here because he's at

137
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 6: the airport in between meetings.

138
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: So I'm going to make this quick.

139
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 6: Professor Josh Blackman, Supreme Court expert, is our guest.

140
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: Two quick questions.

141
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 6: Number One, President Trump is appealing to the Supreme Court

142
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 6: to stay the punishment phase in Mershawan's Court. Professor, can

143
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 6: you catch us up on what exactly is happening here,

144
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 6: what you expect to happen before the Supreme Court and

145
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 6: start assuming people know nothing about the case.

146
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 7: Sure, So this was the case in helping Michael Cohen.

147
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 7: If you remember that he had these hush money payments

148
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 7: to Stormy Danielty, adult actress. He was convicted by a

149
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 7: jury in New York of the summer some fairly, you know,

150
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 7: technical offense of not reporting money to the government have

151
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 7: some pretty pretty weak stuff. But in the meantime, the

152
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 7: US Supreme Court said that there's this thing called immunity.

153
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 7: Immunity means that a president usually can't be prosecuted for

154
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 7: things he does if they're within this scope of his duties.

155
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 7: So after the Supreme Court decided the case, with back.

156
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: To Jefe Marcchan in New York and.

157
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 7: Judge Murchan said, well, you know, nothing's really changed. I

158
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 7: can still go ahead and sentence him. And he scheduled

159
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 7: the sentencing for January tenth, that is this Friday. That's

160
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 7: ten days for the inauguration. So the Trump lawyer said, hey,

161
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 7: wait a minute, put this on hold. Why are we

162
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 7: doing this now? We have to be inaugurated, and once

163
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 7: he's inaugurated, you can't send it to the guy. Judge

164
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 7: Rochan said, no, I'm not going to do it. So

165
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 7: now Trump has gone for you, as Supreme Court said, hey.

166
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: Sprew courts, put this on.

167
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 7: Hold, and your courts can't be trusted their parties and

168
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 7: this is law fair stop this, so let me get

169
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 7: inaugurated and then you know, we'll deal with this in

170
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 7: four years if ever. And so that's where the case

171
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 7: is right now.

172
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 6: So Professor Blackman, let me ask you this if okay,

173
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 6: so Marshawn has signaled that he's not going to send

174
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 6: Trump to prison. You know, as you as you modeled

175
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 6: us out, what if Trump were to say, let's go

176
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 6: ahead and get the sentencing done and be done with it.

177
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 6: Or do you think it's important to him that he

178
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 6: be president when the sentence come down comes down because

179
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 6: that gives him powers that he doesn't have ten days

180
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 6: before he's sworn in.

181
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: Is that the logic here?

182
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: I think it's actually both.

183
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 7: I think Trump doesn't want to be sentenced because that

184
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 7: sort of makes it real. Right, once you're sentenced, you

185
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 7: are a fellon. That makes a conviction final in theory,

186
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 7: at least if an appeal is taken. Now, unless the

187
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,239
Speaker 7: Supreme Court says that the chargers are bogus.

188
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: He's never been a felon.

189
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 7: But once he gets sentenced, that's kind of when the

190
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 7: h that's when this sort of felony status kicks in.

191
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 7: But I think what Trump really wants to happen is

192
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 7: once get to January tenth. This must put hope for

193
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 7: four years, and who the heck knows what happens in

194
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 7: four years. You know, maybe that we have parted from

195
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 7: the governor, who knows. So the idea is kind of delayed, delayed, delay,

196
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 7: hope doesn't go forward, but just putting everything else aside.

197
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: Michael, he's a busy guy right now. He's having press.

198
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 7: Conferences, Readama, Golf of Mexico, and there's lots of things

199
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 7: we got to do now.

200
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: And I think you're saying.

201
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 7: Leave me alone. We don't need to do this now,

202
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 7: so that ships no jail. This is just a mess.

203
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 7: It is a mess. It is an absolute mess. What

204
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 7: do you expect to happen?

205
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: Uh?

206
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 7: I think in an objective world of the Supreme Court probably

207
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 7: say this is lunacy to let Trump get sentenced, you know,

208
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 7: a couple of days before he goes into office. But

209
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 7: I think a couple of the justices might be very

210
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 7: sensitive on this issue, and they might.

211
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: Say, well, we already give Trump community.

212
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 7: We don't look like we're trying to help them out more,

213
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 7: and we might just get three or two of the justices,

214
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 7: maybe Thomas Alito, maybe Gorsas, probably not cool object. And

215
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 7: then look, maybe Trump will go there on Friday to

216
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 7: the New York Court and say, you know, twelve New

217
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 7: york Er set them guilty. But you know, tens of

218
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 7: millions of Americans senatree President and deal with it.

219
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 6: Unprecedented Everything is unprecedented. As we said that so often

220
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 6: that it starts we forget even what the meaning of

221
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 6: that word is.

222
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: Now, let's turn to the TikTok case.

223
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 6: President Trump has engaged in the TikTok case in a

224
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 6: way that most people would not have expected.

225
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: Can you catch us up on that?

226
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: Right?

227
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 7: This is this is kind of a weird situation. So

228
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 7: Congress passed a bill and Biden signed it saying that

229
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 7: that TikTok, which is basically a Chinese company, must divest

230
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 7: that it can't be owned by China. If they don't

231
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 7: make a deal to divest TikTok by January nineteenth, which

232
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 7: is in about you know, twelve days or so, then

233
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 7: TikTok can't exist in the United States. TikTok has not

234
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 7: made that deal yet. They've brought a very big sort

235
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 7: of First Amendment challenge to this law, states of violation

236
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 7: of free speech of the lower court in a pretty

237
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 7: strong opinion. He said, no, no, no, this is about protecting

238
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 7: American assets from foreign addressary if we don't want millions

239
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 7: of Americans having a Chinese app on their phone, which

240
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 7: is kind of insane. And so this is this is valid.

241
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 7: So enter Trump. Trump puts a brief in the Supreme

242
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 7: Court saying, wait a minute, we got to make a

243
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 7: deal here. And it's obvious Biden can't make a deal

244
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 7: because you know, he's not.

245
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: Really here anymore.

246
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 7: So he tells Spreme Court put this on hold for

247
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 7: another you know, a week or two, and let me

248
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 7: sort of work my magic can see what I can do,

249
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 7: see that I can make a deal. So that's pending

250
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 7: for the court right now. The pre courl here argument

251
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 7: on Friday. Everything's on Friday, Michael, everything comes If the

252
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 7: universe converges on the tenth, it's just weird cosmic day.

253
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 7: On the tenth, everything comes together. We'll see what the

254
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 7: court does. But look at the court listens to Trump

255
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 7: and say, look, this is a very complex case. We

256
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 7: can't decide this and say have two weeks. Let's just

257
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 7: enter what's holding injunction. Just put the law on hold

258
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 7: for you know, uh, you know, some period of time.

259
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: Now, look, maybe Trump can make it. You'll find suppose

260
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: to buy TikTok, so they don't have to get rid

261
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: of it.

262
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 7: But it's just it's a I think what this shows

263
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 7: again is Trump doesn't play a boy other people's rules

264
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 7: and sort of infuriates people, make them very angry. They

265
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 7: don't have to deal with that. You're not playing by

266
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 7: the usual playbook.

267
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 5: Uh.

268
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: And and elite say, oh, we can't do that.

269
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 7: But look, I think there's a dynamic. Things are different

270
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 7: now than they were a couple of years ago, and

271
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 7: maybe the court will start, you know, recognizing that there's

272
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 7: a different sort of playbook in town.

273
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 6: So do you think TikTok will exist in America in

274
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 6: its current form or any form two years from now?

275
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: Uh?

276
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 7: I think that once the sort of rubber meets the road,

277
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 7: TikTok will sort of divest itself. But it's possible that

278
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 7: Chinese may not want to. They don't give up the

279
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 7: algorithms and their technology. And so maybe people have different

280
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 7: social media apps. I mean, it's not like you're saying

281
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 7: you can't use social media. It's just one particular app

282
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 7: owned by a foreign actressor. I don't think it's that's

283
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 7: that crazy?

284
00:15:59,520 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: Do you?

285
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: Is TikTok?

286
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely not.

287
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 7: I quit Twitter, I quit Facebook and as any of

288
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 7: the garbage.

289
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 6: Wow, very interesting, terrible, Sir josh Ad in a Supreme

290
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 6: Court extract.

291
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: From the South Texas College of Law. Appreciate your time, sir,

292
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: hop on your flight.

293
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir.

294
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: They remain scared to death of you, and they remain

295
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: scared to death of Trump. Michael Arrishow, You're not going

296
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: anywhere even if Trump does.

297
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: You're not.

298
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: Happened to be very proud Texan.

299
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 6: I happen to think the world begins and ends in Texas,

300
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 6: and so whether it's El Paso or Amarillo or Orange

301
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 6: where I'm from, or Corsicana or Dallas or Austin or

302
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 6: or where Uvaldi. I love every aspect of Texas in

303
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 6: the history. But I think there's something going on in

304
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 6: Texas of national importance, and it's a story that has

305
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 6: to be told. It's a very important story. It's a

306
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 6: two ways. It needs to be told to the rest

307
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 6: of Texas and the rest of America. But we also

308
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 6: need to turn around and tell the people in this

309
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 6: community how important what they're doing is, because it needs

310
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 6: to continue and expand. Our new station is KURV and

311
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 6: the Rio Grand Valley, the Rio Grand River, of course,

312
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 6: being the border separator. The Rio Grand Valley, known in

313
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 6: the area as the RGV, is an almost one hundred

314
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 6: percent Hispanic. Let they know, whatever word you want to

315
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 6: call it a Mexican American community, and it was long

316
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 6: a Democrat stronghold. And something has changed in this election.

317
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 6: We saw that Trump brought victory to Republicans in places

318
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 6: we've never seen. We're starting to see Republicans being elected,

319
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 6: not just Republicans doing better, Republicans actually being elected from

320
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 6: these communities to serve in local and federal government. And

321
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 6: in the midst of all that, we're seeing the values

322
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 6: reflected by the Republican Party in the people of this

323
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 6: community and vice versa. And it turns on its head

324
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 6: everything that consultants, operatives, talking heads, and the media have said,

325
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 6: and that is that Latinos. In this case, I'm going

326
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 6: to use the term Mexican American. I don't like hyphenated

327
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 6: any more than you do, but it's important that you understand,

328
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 6: whether you use Hispanic or Latino or whatever other words,

329
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 6: that a Cuban American living in Miami is very Puerto

330
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 6: Rican American living in New York or Dominican American living

331
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 6: in New York is very very different than the people

332
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 6: of the Rio, Grand Valley and Texans of Mexican descent.

333
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 6: It's a very different set of values. They are also

334
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 6: much like Cubans, very pro family, very pro education, very Catholic,

335
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 6: very socially conservative. And yet Democrats had the lock on

336
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 6: their votes. That has changed, and it didn't change at

337
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 6: the party level. It didn't change from marketing or billboards,

338
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 6: didn't even change from get out the vote efforts, although

339
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 6: those help the hearts and minds of the people were

340
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 6: reflected in them understanding. Much as my dad, a labor

341
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 6: Democrat his entire life said, I didn't leave the Democrat Party.

342
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 6: The Democrat Party left me. Our guest is Sergio Sanchez.

343
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 6: He is the program director a Grand Poohbah wears every hat,

344
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 6: he says, he's everything from janitor to the guy that

345
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 6: puts the shows on the air, and he hosts a

346
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 6: talk show and he's politically active in the Grand Valley.

347
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 6: And it is an honor to be on your station, sir,

348

349
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 6: efforts because it's made a difference. I mean, what we've

350
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 6: seen in the Rio Grand Valley of South Texas that

351
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 6: Trump ushered in that I think is much broader than

352
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 6: Trump is very exciting for the future of this country. So,

353
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 6: first of all, welcome to the programs are Yille.

Speaker 4: It's an honor to speak with my kindred radio soul

356
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 4: as I describe you to my producer Freddy there.

357
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: Well, you're very.

358
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 6: Let's talk about the Rio Grand Valley and let's start

359
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 6: with what just happened in November which shocked people who

360
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 6: follow politics and have for a long time. Let's start

361
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 6: with President Trump's success in the Rio Grand Valley that

362
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 6: in one hundred and twenty years we've never seen anything

363
00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 6: like this.

364
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's take let's go back to twenty sixteen. And

365
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 4: by the way, you mentioned my political advocacy at work,

366
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 4: and I'm grateful that at one time the ownership group

367
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 4: of previous ownership group okay, you are v allowed me

368
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 4: to run for chairman in Ellettle County and I'm so

369
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 4: thankful to all the volunteers and the precinct Terris and

370
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 4: all the new preconteers.

371
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 8: Of young people and the women's gripts.

372
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 4: I worked so hard to set up a permanent HQ

373
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 4: back in twenty fourteen, the first year that I was chairman,

374
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 4: and my employer back then, my boss has allowed me

375
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 4: to go and do it because I said, look this

376
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 4: great research opportunity for me.

377
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 8: Look at all the context I'm going to make.

378
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 4: And so I was able to do that for about

379
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 4: four years. But things are different now. I couldn't do that,

380
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 4: but I still wail away and say my opinions as

381
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 4: is back in twenty fourteen. In fact, I'll take it

382
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 4: back to twenty ten the Tea Party revolution, because we

383
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 4: have thousands of people who rose up from Brownsville all

384
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 4: the way here to McCallen. It's a market that's about

385
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 4: a mill and a half people. And the Conservatives rose up.

386
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 4: They did not want universal healthcare, government paid for, government

387
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 4: managed healthcare, and the Tea Party rose up back in

388
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 4: twenty ten. And in twenty ten here in Ivalul County,

389
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 4: Javitavi A Lobos became the new chairman of the Evaluel

390
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 4: County Republican Party. If that name sounds from ether too,

391
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 4: Attorney Kavitavi A Lobos back in twenty ten became the

392
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: new chairman and fought hard over a couple of years

393
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 4: with the establishment group that was there. They didn't surrender

394
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 4: the keys, they didn't surrender the.

395
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 8: Bank accounts, all that stuff. It was just back and.

396
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 4: Forth from the old guard with a new guard, the

397
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: Tea Party guard back in twenty ten. There were some valiant,

398
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 4: courageous volunteers that just kept added.

399
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 8: Hvita A.

400
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 4: Loos is the McCollen mayor, and he's the mayor of McCallen,

401
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 4: and everybody puts a Republican label on him. And he

402
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 4: went through all those and that became the Mayor of

403
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 4: account twenty fourteen, when Hobby didn't want to he didn't

404
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 4: want the post anymore. As chairman, I was blessed to

405
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 4: have an employee allowed him to do that. So what's

406
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 4: happened on permanent XQ with the obxecutive to win, to

407
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 4: grow and to win, to train and to win, to

408
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 4: find candidates and win. So the what's happened in the

409
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 4: past in this past election is a culmination of like

410
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 4: ten years of training of fighting a voter registration, phone banking,

411
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 4: fighting new volunteers to be the precinct chairs, going to

412
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 4: those condiventials, doing all that work in both.

413
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: Hold on just a moment based RV seventeen.

414
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 6: Rio Grand Valley in the south on the Mexican border

415
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 6: of Texas is our guest.

416
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: More coming up here?

417
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: Can I just done? Michael Barry in the.

418
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: Sergio Sanchez is our guest.

419
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 6: He is the program director of ku r V seven

420
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 6: to ten am radio in the Rio Grand.

421
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: Valley of Texas.

422
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 6: And I can only explain that to you folks as

423
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 6: if you want to talk about voting patterns. This is

424
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 6: like statewide in California. This is like Vermont, this is

425
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 6: like Minnesota. This is an area that has long been

426
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 6: a Democrat stronghold. When you would watch State of Texas

427
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 6: returns come in, one of the areas you would worry

428
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 6: about most was the Real Grand Valley because there were

429
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 6: going to be a lot of Democrat votes coming in

430
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 6: at the last minute. And now these folks have turned

431
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 6: and are voting Republican. Sergio, in your professional opinion, as

432
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 6: a broadcaster, as a former party leader, as a longtime resident,

433
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 6: and as a smart guide that follows these things, how

434
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 6: much of this Republican's success is Trump? And how much

435
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 6: post Trump residual will we have because people realize they're

436
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 6: not part of the crazy.

437
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: Left any longer.

438
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 4: We can credit Donald Trump for pretty much all of

439
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 4: this nineteen twenty sixteen. You remember how crazy the primary was.

440
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 4: Back in twenty six everybody in their grandma running. We

441
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 4: had Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, we had Donald Trump, had

442
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 4: whole bunch of people running. And man, I don't even

443
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 4: remember who won the primary. Technico it might have been

444
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 4: Ted Cruz, I just don't remember. But Donald Trump was

445
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 4: way up there. And all I do remember twenty sixteen

446
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 4: in the primary is that I saw almost a ten

447
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: thousand vote shift. We know who's Democrat, we know who's Republican.

448
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 4: And because local Republicans didn't run anybody for the longest.

449
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: Time down here, ran very few people.

450
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 4: All the Republicans went to the Democrat site to choose

451
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 4: a more conservative county chidge or precinct director, whatever district done.

452
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 4: So we had a bunch of Republics that ran to

453
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 4: the Democrat primary. Well because of Donald Trump and everybody

454
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 4: else running for for president. Twenty sixteen, I saw a

455
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 4: ten thousand I would credit Donald Trump.

456
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 8: I saw ten thousand vote swing.

457
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 4: From the Democrats who were running Hillary. They had no

458
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 4: excitement on that side, so we had Democrats crossed back

459
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 4: over to Republicans. I saw that in the primary. That

460
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 4: was just the beginning a more crossovers and to the

461
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 4: Republican side, and we just kept building on that. For

462
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 4: previous Chairman Adrian Pingeguards, as she kept pushing, kept training,

463
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 4: kept volunteering voter registration, she saw more of a ship

464
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 4: towards the Republican back in twenty twenty during the COVID election.

465
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 4: But it was I would say Donald Trump was the driver.

466
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 4: It was the fresh new, non political never even one

467
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 4: dogcatcher dog catcher election.

468
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 8: Donald Trump he was.

469
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 4: I believe he was the driver, the political force that

470
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 4: defines his new political generation of ours. He's the one

471
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 4: that led to all these changes. I mean back then,

472
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 4: I know Willessey County in Star County, which are adjacent

473
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 4: to Cameron in Idol County. Cameron is Browns, McCallan is

474
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: Idalgo County next door is well Essye and Star County.

475
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 4: Those are smaller counties. But all four of our counties

476
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 4: here in South Texas that represent the RGV, all four

477
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 4: counties have chair of people have GP offices at GOP

478
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 4: teams now and this is.

479
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 8: Where we are today.

480
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 4: We've got people like a Stella McKee, Tony trevinho de

481
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 4: Wie Bell and Brown. They're running offices that are registering

482
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 4: people to vote. Like you said earlier, it's the basis

483
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 4: of baseball. That's what we got to get back to

484
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 4: the basics of political baseball to get the job done.

485
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 4: Because I see and I'm so happy to see what's

486
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 4: happened in the past ten years in the valley. But

487
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 4: I look to Houston, to Dallas Fort Worth that is

488
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 4: purple these days, San Antonio Military town that is deep blue.

489
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 4: My goodness is it's like Texas is a shiny red

490
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 4: apple at state government, shiny bright red. But inside the

491
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 4: core the cities are deep rotted blue. And I would

492
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 4: challenge the party chair people in Hugheston Harris County, in

493
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 4: Dallas County, I think.

494
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 8: I forget is running and ownside.

495
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 4: I'm at both of you, both French and Tarrant County

496
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 4: right both bows in Tack County. Dallas County has a

497
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 4: former state Republican chairman running there.

498
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 8: We need to get back to basic. We have to

499
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 8: save the city.

500
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 4: If we're at to save Texas, we have to implement

501
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 4: a basic political game of registering voters, getting more precinct chairs.

502
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 4: Everybody roll in the same direction in the cause of

503
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 4: in the big cities, we save the city. We can

504
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 4: put up that fire's were the Democrats classes.

505
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 6: Having been a candidate myself, I watched the Democrats do

506
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 6: the exes and os, block and intactman.

507
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: They register voters, they push them to the polls. We

508
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: tend to.

509
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 6: Our grassroots in the Republican Party has not been supported.

510
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 6: I've seen it in Texas, but I've seen it outside.

511
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 6: I hear from people across the country. Our party and

512
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 6: our donors have kind of withdrawn from the grassroots because

513
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 6: the grassroots are very pro Trump. So the establishment folks

514
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 6: who were at the RNC before Trump came in, those

515
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 6: folks who were not who were with Jeb Bush in

516
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 6: twenty sixteen, who were not Trump folks, they don't want

517
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 6: to give the resources to the people on the ground

518
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 6: who do the work, which is your precinct chairman, your

519
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 6: Senate district chairman, your block walkers. These people are kind

520
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 6: of overlooked. Trump understands them, but the party itself really hasn't.

521
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 6: Sergio Sanchez k u r V seven to ten am

522
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 6: radio the Powerhouse Rio Grand Valley RGV station in South

523
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 6: Texas on the Mexican border. Let me ask you to

524
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 6: talk about the issues that matter most, because I will

525
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 6: tell you what I hear from Latinos who have changed

526
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 6: from Democrat to Republican. And I hear the transgender stuff.

527
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 6: They don't like, the school stuff they find creepy, The

528
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 6: converting kids they find creepy.

529
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: The pushing for abortions.

530
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 6: They don't say necessarily that we need to make pro

531
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 6: life our number one issue, but they're tired of this

532
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 6: sort of bragging that you had an abortion. All the

533
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 6: anti marriage stuff, the over the top race stuff. These

534
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 6: are the things I hear. But but you tell me

535
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 6: what you hear. You host a show there.

536
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, the Latino you know, Mexican rooted generations down here,

537
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 4: American citizens, And may I say something else about this market.

538
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 4: I discovered long ago that despite not having a military

539
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 4: base or naval base, air force base, I think per

540
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 4: capital of the RGV of Texas as more people in

541
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: the military generationally, because of Vietnam, Korea, World War two.

542
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 4: We have patriots down here and they're Democrats. But the Patriots,

543
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: and they're Catholic, the Christian there. They have the very

544
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 4: deep rooted family values, a hard work ethic. They do

545
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 4: want smaller responsible government. Yes, the whole thing about wokeness,

546
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 4: all this lunacy abortion, that is not something that they

547
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 4: tune into. That that is not on their frequency. Give

548
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 4: you an example on taxes and how these Democrats of

549
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 4: these I call them JFK Democrats, old style Democrats here

550
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 4: in South Texas who refused to give up the ghost.

551
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: And some have already.

552
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 4: That's that's why we won Evalu County, Cameron County, Willison,

553
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 4: and Star County because we had enough of them. They

554
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 4: finally crossed over and realized that the Democrat Party left them,

555
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 4: just like Reagan.

556
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: Said a long long time ago.

557
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 4: Taxes, there was a group here about a handful of

558
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 4: years ago to try to set up a hospital district

559
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,239
Speaker 4: in Indutigo County. First time that they tried it, they

560
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 4: failed by the majority because the undervote there was a

561
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 4: huge undervote people they didn't see what was at the

562
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 4: top of the ticket, bottom and ticket, and none.

563
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 8: Of people voted to support it.

564
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 4: Second time around, during a midterm election, they tried it

565
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 4: again and the people of the power behind us and

566
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 4: establishing this district and making decisions with this panel that

567
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 4: was going to be incestuous with certain people in the

568
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 4: medical all this stuff and people there's a.

569
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: Lot of poverty down there.

570
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 4: I mean, one in five, one in four people in

571
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 4: out of country are still at the poverty level. And

572
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 4: there's a very humble little homes, little wood.

573
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 8: Shack looking places.

574
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 4: Evaluation maybe sixty seventy eighty thousand bucks. That's that's There

575
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 4: are a lot of people, a lot of small community

576
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 4: here in Double County that are there for these Democrats.

577
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 4: The second time around, they crossed over because said, look,

578
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 4: we'll look at all these republics that in fact lend

579
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 4: me Jayson that election where they shot down that hospital

580
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 4: district by a seventh margin. That is the Rosetta stone

581
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 4: in my opinion. And now I haven't had a chance

582
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 4: to dissect this, but you get like some political consultancy

583
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 4: group that would take a look at everybody who voted,

584
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 4: and that all the poor.

585
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 8: People who voted, all the people in the poverty line,

586
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 8: with all the property owners who have very little property

587
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 8: book voted down seven to three.

588
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 4: By it was over seven to three markets I believe

589
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 4: that's the result of some I think that represents a

590
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 4: bunch of addresses and names of coots that need to

591
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 4: be approached by the local Republican Party, the state Republican Party,

592
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 4: and just just pound away
