1 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: It's that time time time, time, luck and load. 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 2: Them. 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: Michael vari Show is. 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 3: On the air that a fake Rusher investigation that interfered. 5 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 3: That was a terrible thing, that was actually a treasonous 6 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 3: thing to do. Those people should have been arrested. They 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 3: made it up. They made up a problem with Russia 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 3: that didn't exist. Now they've all admitted it didn't exist. 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: It was just on to the next one. 10 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 4: There should be no fuzz on this whatsoever. The Russians 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 4: interfered in our election during the twenty sixteen cycle. They 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,959 Speaker 4: did it with purpose, they did it with sophistication, they 13 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 4: did it with overwhelming technical efforts, and it was an 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 4: active measures campaign driven from the top of that government. 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: There is no fuzz on that. 16 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 4: It is a high confidence judgment of the entire intelligence community, 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 4: and the members of this committee have seen the intelligence. 18 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: It's not a close call. 19 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: That happened. 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 4: That's about as unfake as you can possibly get and 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 4: is very very serious. Which is why it's so refreshing 22 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 4: to see a bipartisan focus on that, because this is 23 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,919 Speaker 4: about America, not about any. 24 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: Recording in the Marty. 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: In the. 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 5: I'll be honest with you when you're talking about cybersecurity. 27 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 5: A lot of it is classified, and we're not going 28 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 5: to provide it because the way we catch folks is 29 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 5: by knowing certain things about them that they may not 30 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 5: want us to know. And if we're going to monitor 31 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 5: this stuff effectively going forward, we don't want them to 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 5: know that we know. This is one of those situations 33 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 5: where unless the American people genuinely think that the professionals 34 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 5: in the CIA, the FBI, our entire intelligence infrastructure, many 35 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 5: of whom, by the way, served in previous administrations and 36 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 5: who are Republicans, are less trustworthy than the Russians, then 37 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 5: people should pay attention to what our intelligence agency says. 38 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 6: So the effect of what President Obama and his senior 39 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 6: national security team did was subvert the will of the 40 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 6: American people, undermining our democratic republic, creating this piece of 41 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 6: manufactured intelligence that that claims that Russia had helped Donald 42 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 6: Trump get elected contradicted every other assessment that had been 43 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 6: made previously in the months leading up to the election 44 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 6: that said exactly the opposite, that Russia neither had neither 45 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 6: the intent nor the capability to try to quote unquote 46 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 6: hack the United States election for the presidency of the 47 00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 6: United States. 48 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: What a weekend of news. 49 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: Wow. 50 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 7: President Trump today had angel families at the White House. 51 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 7: It's been a real comfort solace to the country that 52 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 7: we have a president who honors these families repeatedly and 53 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 7: shows them that they matter. You know, this country has 54 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 7: been very good at rushing our boys off to war, 55 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 7: but not so good at respecting them when they come home. 56 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 7: Our show has been very close to for over ten 57 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 7: years now, he's eleven years now. A program called Camp Hope. 58 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 7: You're in Houston. It's part of the PTSD Foundation of America. 59 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 7: There are classes across the country, but it all started 60 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 7: right here and they fly folks in from around the 61 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 7: country to train here. It's a six month Christian program. 62 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 7: And these are folks who've typically tried suicide, and they're 63 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 7: generally addicted to all sorts of drugs and they're at 64 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 7: rock bottom. 65 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: And it's veterans helping veterans. 66 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 7: And so I've had a little opportunity to see how 67 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 7: tough it can be transitioning back to life for our veterans. 68 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 7: And these are our veterans who've survived, and it's hard 69 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 7: on their families as well. It's hard on them, it's 70 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 7: hard on their families and camp hope you ever want 71 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 7: to if you want a great shirty, you're looking for 72 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 7: something to write a check to. The money goes to 73 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 7: the program. 74 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: They no big. 75 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 7: Fancy offices, no office towers, none of that. Just a 76 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 7: great organization of veterans helping veterans. And our role in 77 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 7: all of it is raising the money so that they 78 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 7: have food and water. There's no drinking allowed. Food and 79 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 7: water and a bed and a room and space and 80 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 7: counselors there to help facilitate the meetings.

We had yet we 82 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 7: had so much to talk about. 83 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: Let me get to it. 84 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: We're going to have. 85 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: Two. We have a very very. 86 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 7: Important Senate race in Texas where you've got a four 87 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 7: term Senator John Cornyn, who is just like Mitch McConnell, 88 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 7: and if he loses, he's going to become Mitch McConnell 89 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 7: the day after he loses the primary, and he's losing 90 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 7: right now, and if he wins, I think he becomes 91 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 7: that way too. He just gets to do it for longer. 92 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 7: You've got Mitch McConnell right now holding up the Save Act, 93 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 7: which would bring integrity to our elections, and this guy 94 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 7: was the Republican leader up until recently. We have got 95 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 7: to stop saying that because you're a Republican, we're going 96 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 7: to tolerate you doing it. We have to recognize that 97 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 7: some of these people will play ball only when it 98 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 7: suits them.

He said, look out, very common job. 176 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 7: So he sits out in front of his little house 177 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 7: and when people go by, he reports. 178 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: On what he sees all day. I said, does he 179 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: have a day job? 180 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 7: And he said he picks up you know, a little 181 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 7: job here and a little job there, but really he's 182 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 7: kind of a lookout for the cartels and that pays 183 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 7: these bills. The cartails are everywhere, and the cartels have 184 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 7: influence over the government such that it's very hard to 185 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 7: fix the problem. And that's what's going to happen in 186 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 7: this country. You look at Minnesota. Minnesota can't be saved, 187 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 7: not from within, because the very people whose job it 188 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 7: is to fix the problem are the problem. Tim Wallas, 189 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 7: Keith Ellison, ilhan Omar, Jacob Fry. You're not going to 190 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 7: fix New York because mom, Donnie is the problem. By 191 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 7: the way, did you notice over the weekend they have 192 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 7: big snowstorm in New York and so the snow was 193 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 7: piled up and the city can't get the snow moved 194 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 7: because the city's broke. And so they said, you know, you, 195 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 7: the citizenry can come and join and help out and 196 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 7: you'll get paid for it. Okay, and you'll need to 197 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 7: bring two forms of ID. Wait, why do you need 198 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 7: two forms of ID? That doesn't make any sense. They 199 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 7: don't believe you should have a form of ID to vote, 200 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 7: but you need two forms of ID to shovel snow, 201 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 7: but nobody has ID. Remember you need your registration is 202 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 7: two small photos one and a half inch square to 203 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 7: shovel snow, two original forms of ID, plus copies. What 204 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 7: are we applying for? The FBI or shoveling snow? And 205 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 7: a Social Security card to shovel snow. To be eligible, 206 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 7: you have to be eighteen years old. I thought we 207 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 7: were eligible to work in the US, able to perform 208 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 7: heavy physical labor. This is all from the New York 209 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 7: City Department of Sanitation. Now your response might be reasonably so. 210 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 7: But Michael, don't you those things are all necessary? 211 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: Yeah? I do. 212 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 7: But that's not why they're imposing these They're building voter databases. 213 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: That's what this is about. This is a way to 214 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: get more information. 215 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 7: The more data they can build on profiles, the likely 216 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 7: greater the likelihood that they never are defeated. 217 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: Anyway, back to it. 218 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 7: Fox News with the story over the weekend after the 219 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 7: killing of the cartel member El Minchow by the Mexican 220 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 7: Army and. 221 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 10: Cartel leader El Menshow was killed by Mexican forces. We've 222 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 10: heard from the Pentagon that the Joint Interagency Task Force 223 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 10: Counter Cartel did assist Mexican forces, not likely with boots 224 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 10: on the ground, genre with intelligence sharing. But after Elmentho 225 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 10: has been killed, we're seeing a series of warfare, frankly 226 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 10: going on across Mexico and Portavarta, the Guadalajara we saw 227 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 10: images from the airport. Of course, thousands of American tourists 228 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 10: visit Mexico throughout the years, certainly in the winter months 229 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 10: in the United States, and right now the State Department 230 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 10: is warning all Americans in Mexico to shelter in place, 231 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 10: particularly in Portavarita and the Guadalajara area. But after Elmento 232 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 10: is killed, we're seeing rival cartels engaging gun battles throughout 233 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 10: the day. We're seeing videos of Mexican special forces engaging 234 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 10: in Mexican police on the streets. We're seeing a lot 235 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 10: of iPhone videos you can see here on the screens 236 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 10: from the aftermath. Buses destroyed, airports being targeted, and really 237 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 10: a lot of chaos throughout multiple states across Mexico. 238 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 7: John Meanwhile, in our country, President Trump has ordered the 239 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 7: release of classified government alien and UFO files.

Yes, sir, 358 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 7: that's supposed to be the goal. Yes, sir, corner, let's 359 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 7: talk about what Cornan is attacking you with. One is 360 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 7: they changed the message. But the story is you didn't 361 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 7: vote for Trump, and you know, and my response to 362 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 7: people is support who you want to support. But I've 363 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 7: seen the guy on Trump's plane. Trump loves the guy. 364 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 7: He's brought him all over the country with him because 365 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 7: I sent him a text. He's strutting like a bandy 366 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 7: rooster when he and Trump flew out somewhere and it 367 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 7: was like a big national televised event. So Trump likes 368 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 7: the guy, but his whole attack is to tell people 369 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 7: that you don't like Trump and you didn't vote for Trump. 370 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: How do you answer that. 371 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 2: Well, it's just pure projection. 372 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 13: And what everybody knows is that he left Trump a 373 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 13: long time ago. Everyone knows that John Cornyn is a Rhino. 374 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 13: Everyone knows that he is a Bush era Lincoln Project Republican, 375 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 13: and that's fine. But if you are that, he has 376 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 13: to understand that era is over and it's time for 377 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 13: you to retire. The fact of the matters is this, 378 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 13: President Trump has not endorsed to the United States senators 379 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 13: that are incumbents in the entire country. It is Collins 380 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 13: and it is Cornyn. He endorsed against Cassidy. Obviously, he's 381 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 13: not endorsed McConnell. Tillis is retiring. These are all of 382 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 13: John Corner's homeboys. And so he is trying to say 383 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 13: this for those people that may not have heard who 384 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 13: I am, and now that not everyone knows. If you 385 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 13: don't know that, everybody knows thanks to him. At this point, 386 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 13: he is trying to say and frame me as somebody 387 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 13: that's a ryanohen doesn't like President Trump. Well, here's the deal, 388 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 13: I worked for President Trump. Six homes now and I 389 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 13: have the proof he endorsed me in my. 390 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 2: Last two runs. 391 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 13: I was one of his top farraguts in this last 392 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 13: election cycle. I got to fly to a dozen places 393 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 13: with him on his very luxurious, very nice playing sir. 394 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 13: We had plenty of McDonalds together, pizza, Hoggindog's ice fream, 395 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 13: do you name it. This is a man that looked 396 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 13: at me and said, I need your health whenever it's 397 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 13: time for us to win this next election election. 398 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 2: And he tapped me to do just that. And I 399 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 2: want people to know this as well. 400 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 13: He invited me to the Army Navy game a couple 401 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 13: of years ago and then invited me to fly back 402 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 13: tomorrow Lago with he and Elon after we send the 403 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 13: national anthem. And I think what happens with people like 404 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 13: John Corny is they see the people that were there 405 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 13: at the ground level that supported him the entire time. 406 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 13: And keep in mind, Don Corny did not endorse him 407 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 13: till over a year after I did, and he did 408 00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 13: it simply out. 409 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 7: Of convenience after having a press conference where he said 410 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 7: the country needs to move on from him. He was 411 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 7: vocal against him. He was more vocal than any other Republican. 412 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 7: I find that very disturbing. Well, Wesley Hunt, you and 413 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 7: I have had this conversation before. I am all about 414 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 7: disagreeing on policy. I'm even about saying the other guy 415 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 7: won't do a good job, and I will whatever you 416 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 7: need to do. But this Matt mccoveac, he's got a real, 417 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 7: real sketchy character. I could get my buddy Kenny Webster on. 418 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 7: He's got a whole set of stories that he tells 419 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 7: about Matt mccoviac. 420 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: But he hired this really sketchy guy. 421 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 7: And I think their thought was they were scared, and 422 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 7: mkovi acs got a real, real sketchy past. Anybody wants 423 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 7: to look him up, you'll see it for yourself. And 424 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 7: he you know they're desperate because they violate. They went 425 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 7: beyond campaigning, and they released a bunch of documents doxing you, 426 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 7: giving out your family's address, giving out personal details, and 427 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 7: I saw I talked to other Republicans who said, regardless 428 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 7: where you are in the race, that that has to 429 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 7: be punished, that cannot be allowed. How did you feel 430 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 7: when that happened. I know you've been very public about it. 431 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 7: You've got young children at home, you got your wife 432 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 7: at home, you're out all over the state. 433 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 13: First of all, I want to thank our aristonic possibles 434 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 13: and I want to take HPD. They have been very, 435 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 13: very helpful and making sure that my family is safe. 436 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 13: When I when I filed this report, they were extraor 437 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 13: the Austin Herman's office was extraordinarily helpful to us. And 438 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 13: please know that I do feel safe and that we 439 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 13: are covered whenever that happens, especially in a time where 440 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 13: our president was always was shot, and then another and 441 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 13: another murder attempt, and then just yesterday somebody scaled the 442 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 13: walls of mar A Lago. Another person was was shot 443 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 13: and killed, and in an era where Charlie Kirk was murdered. 444 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 2: These are very trying times, and so as. 445 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 13: A political figure, as a public figure, and by the way, 446 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 13: this one that goes for any American. Forget meing a 447 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 13: public figure, this goes for just any American. To put 448 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 13: out your personal information all in the manner in which 449 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 13: he did, and he knows better than he than to 450 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 13: do that is wrong. He knows he was wrong as 451 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,719 Speaker 13: well because he posted the information and then took it 452 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 13: down and then posted a redacted version. So he should 453 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 13: have posted the redacted version. First, I also want to 454 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 13: point out their commercial ads are saying that I've voted 455 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 13: for Hillary and didn't vote for Trump. Well, the reason 456 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 13: why he even posted in the Firth places because it 457 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 13: was the proof that I did vote in twenty sixteen 458 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 13: and I voted for President Trump. 459 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 2: So they are tied in knots and the only thing 460 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 2: that they could do now is result of these. 461 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 13: Kind of what I would call dirty politics Philly season 462 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 13: guerrilla tactics, and it's putting my family. 463 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 2: In But again, give God, loo can't forget.

This is part of the game, and I 468 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 13: understand it's a dirty one, but it's not going to 469 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 13: stop us from doing the right thing. 470 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 14: Michael Berry, I won't do that. 471 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: It's too much for a moment. You won't go. 472 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 2: That was so funny. 473 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 7: General Ken Paxton, he is by all accounts, leading the 474 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 7: US Senate race Republican primary.

I don't I don't know how 511 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 14: he defended that, but he certainly did. And so you know, 512 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 14: I thought it was a reasonable response from me and 513 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 14: my office that this is this is not appropriate contact 514 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 14: by sitting US center against a congressman, just because you 515 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 14: run into office against them. It's wrong because you're not 516 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 14: only risking him, you're risking his entire family. 517 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 518 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 7: It also I think shows a lot about the corn 519 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 7: and people and how desperate they are. 520 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: You have received a lot of attention. 521 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 7: You're not just a candidate for office, you're a guy 522 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 7: whose office, and I think this is the reason you're leading. 523 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 7: You have led by example as Attorney General dealing with 524 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 7: epic city dealing. There's a lot of concern, uncertainty, unsettled 525 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 7: feelings in the state with regard to this sort of 526 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 7: Sharia law community, and you've taken an aggressive approach on that. 527 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: What has been that approach? 528 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 14: Well, so I'm concerned too, and I think it's normal 529 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 14: for us to concerned, not because of different religions, It's 530 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 14: really more about exactly what you're talking about, shree law. 531 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 14: It's a whole set of different laws, and you can 532 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 14: see how they're executing on that in other countries, in 533 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 14: other states, and so I certainly understand people's concern. I'm 534 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 14: concerned too. That's why we've investigated it. We're in lawsuits 535 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 14: right now over epic City of the my home county 536 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 14: of colin and we're pursuing it. If you're not going 537 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 14: to follow our laws, we're going to hold you accountable. 538 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 14: You can worship how we want to, but our constitution 539 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 14: is pre emitted our federal and state laws over ross law, 540 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 14: and you have no right to operate a different system 541 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 14: of laws in our country. 542 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 7: You have been very aggressive as the Attorney General going 543 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 7: after medicaid fraud, healthcare related fraud, opioid crisis settlements, data privacy, 544 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 7: big tech settlements where big tech violates the rights and 545 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 7: privacy of Texans. What are you most proud of as 546 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 7: your work in your work as Attorney General, you. 547 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 14: Know you're talking about some of the biggest cases I've 548 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 14: worked on the three, in particular opioids. I've probably spent 549 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 14: more time on that personally, traveling the country trying to 550 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 14: negotiate a deal with all fifty seven states and territories, 551 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 14: which was quite a point of accomplishments, get an agreement 552 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 14: that every state in territory would accept. And I would 553 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 14: say I put hundreds and hundreds of hours into that, 554 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 14: and I did it because I wanted to make sure 555 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 14: that we found a way to address the opiod crisis. 556 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 14: So many of my friends' kids died as a result 557 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 14: of that crisis, and I wanted to provide some type 558 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 14: of way to address it. And then as far as 559 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 14: some of the big tech clawsuits with Google, I probably 560 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 14: spent the most second most time on that trying to 561 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 14: figure out how to go after them, stop them from 562 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 14: stealing our information, from using that information against this and look, 563 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 14: they definitely have a leftward leaning and how they use 564 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 14: that information elections and other things. So it was very 565 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 14: important to me to do what I could stop that. 566 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 14: I did that both with Facebook and Google, and we 567 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 14: obviously had very successful results of recovering over one point 568 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 14: four billion on one and one point three seventy five 569 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 14: billion on the other. So those are probably the three 570 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 14: cases I've spent the most time on because they all 571 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 14: affected the whole country and they affected did lives. 572 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 7: Attorney General Ken Paxton as our guest, Colony Ridge is 573 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 7: is very heavy on the heart of a lot of 574 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 7: people in our region. Briscokine, who's running for Congress against 575 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 7: Alex Meeler. Latest polls I saw show that she's winning handily, 576 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 7: but he now sort of is trying to hide from 577 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 7: his involvement there. I think that Colony Ridge thing bothers 578 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 7: a lot of Houstonians, a lot of Texans because it 579 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 7: says this is the effect the manifestation of illegal immigration. 580 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 7: Your office was involved in sixty eight million dollars in 581 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 7: penalties against Colony Ridge. 582 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: What is the problem with Colony Ridge? 583 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 14: So it just wasn't us. It was we worked on 584 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 14: that deal with the Trump administration and the Department of Justice, 585 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 14: and our issue was you're you're putting in all this 586 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 14: infrastructure there were potential violations of the federal law and 587 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 14: how that was approached as far as housing and fair 588 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 14: housing and disclosing, and the fact that a lot of 589 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 14: these people were getting foreclothed on and then the infrastructure 590 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 14: wasn't done right. The there was there was there was 591 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 14: an appropriate law enforcement. So we're making sure that a 592 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 14: law enforcement center is built and that that's funded and 593 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 14: at this infrastructure that was not not put in and 594 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 14: leaves it to deteriorate fast is going to be put in. 595 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 14: So's it's a lot of money to put into it, 596 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 14: but it definitely needed to be addressed, and that's why 597 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 14: we got involved in. 598 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: John Cornan is obviously very scared. 599 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 7: He's attacking Wesley Hunt, and he's attacking you, and and 600 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 7: he's gone scorched to earth and and as you and 601 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,479 Speaker 7: I have talked about, the see crowd that's paying for him, 602 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 7: says that he's burning this cash of what he says 603 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 7: about you. 604 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: Is there anything you want to respond to? Do you 605 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: need to respond? 606 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 7: The polls don't show that it's getting any traction, But 607 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 7: it seems to be the case that he can't run 608 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 7: on his own record. 609 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: He just has to trash you. 610 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 14: It's really incredible. I think they're going to spend close 611 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 14: to eighty million dollars trashing me and trashing by fleet. 612 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 14: You would think when I ran as an incumbent, I 613 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 14: didn't spend any time trashing by pumps. You know what 614 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 14: I talked about. I talked about what I'd done in 615 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 14: the past, and I listed my accomplishments, and then I 616 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 14: talked about what I want to do in my next 617 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 14: four years. John Corner doesn't do that because he can't 618 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 14: talk about accomplishments because in the last forty plus years 619 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 14: he doesn't have any good accomplishments. So he doesn't talk 620 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 14: about him. He makes up stuff about himself to try 621 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 14: to cover the fact that, you know, he was against 622 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 14: the border wall, he was with Joe Biden's second A 623 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 14: member restrictions, he was against Donald Trump's election. Every position 624 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 14: that he took was harmful to Texas and not something 625 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 14: that Texans supported, And so we can't talk about that, 626 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 14: and so he uses personal attacks against me and Wesley 627 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 14: because that's all he thinks he has. 628 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 7: You know, I'm not sure that's what he thinks. I'm 629 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 7: not sure he knows what's going on. I think he's 630 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 7: somewhere in the Mitch McConnell universe. I think that's what 631 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 7: the DC swamp who controls him and owns him, is 632 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 7: saying because that's the best they've got. They can't roll 633 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 7: him out as a senator of great accomplishment. They're just 634 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 7: pouring a bunch of cash into saying Their latest one 635 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 7: is that you're weird. And my thought is, I'm not 636 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 7: asking to hang out with the guy. I want a 637 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 7: man of action. And Paxton has done more and I've 638 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 7: said this before as attorney general than any attorney general 639 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 7: in the state of Texas in my lifetime, and that 640 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 7: includes John cornyet and he was not an impressive attorney general. 641 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 7: I know you're out on the road. Thank you for 642 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 7: your time. We'll talk again before election. Data Thankee Attorney 643 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 7: General Ken Paxton
