1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: That time, time, time, time, luck and load. The Michael 2 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: Verie Show is. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 2: On the air. 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 3: Iran's formerly supreme leader, Ayatola Amine is dead. This wretched 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 3: and vile man had the blood of hundreds and even 6 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 3: thousands of Americans on his hands and was responsible for 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 3: the slaughter of countless thousands of innocent people all across 8 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 3: many countries. Last night, all over Iran, the voices of 9 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 3: the Iranian people could be heard cheering and celebrating in 10 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 3: the streets when his death was announced. I call upon 11 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 3: all Iranian patriots. 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: Who yearn for freedom to seize this moment to be brave, 13 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 1: be bold, be. 14 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 3: Heroic, and take back your country. 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: America is with you. 16 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 3: I made a promise to you, and I fulfill that promise. 17 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: The rest will be up to you, but will be 18 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: there to help. 19 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 4: It's an incredible dissonance that they had to choose war 20 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 4: over regime, but they were willing to do it. Thank you, 21 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 4: Donald Trump, Thank you Benjamin Netya who, Thank you America. 22 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: It's not death to America after they killed the leader. 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 4: The Americans and the Israelis did it. 24 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: It's not death to Israel and death to America. It's 25 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: thank you it's a. 26 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 4: New day dawning, but very early days, very very early days. 27 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: So we'll have to see what comes. 28 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 4: But it's the Iranian people that have been telling me 29 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 4: over and over and over again, we want this. We're 30 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 4: not regimas, we're not Islamic. I don't even say oh 31 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 4: my God to my Iranian friends because they don't want 32 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 4: God to be any. 33 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: Part of this. 34 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 5: It's about national security. This is about what is possible 35 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 5: in the Middle East. This is about being a good name, 36 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 5: good partner to the Gulf States and what their aspirations are. 37 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 5: This is about supporting the people of Venezuela. This is 38 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 5: about this memory, our relationship with or not dismembering, but 39 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 5: resetting our relationship with China. Right now, fifty five percent 40 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 5: of the oil production that Uran produces goes to China 41 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 5: despite sanctions. You want to support the people of Ukraine, 42 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 5: you want to end that war, you have to. There 43 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 5: is no getting around dismembering this Islamic republic. It is 44 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 5: non negotiable. It is not a want to have, It 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 5: is a have to have. And it's not just for 46 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 5: the Iranian people. I think you have to trust the 47 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 5: Iranian people. We know this government better than anyone else. 48 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 5: When you dismember and decapitate this regime, you are going 49 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 5: to see a change of them attle least in Venezuela, 50 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 5: in China, in Ukraine. And I think, quite frankly, their 51 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 5: ideology has really it's caused a lot of problems for 52 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 5: US worldwide. 53 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: We need to take it seriously, and. 54 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 5: I think at this point we have a tremendous opportunity. 55 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 5: This will be like ending the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall. 56 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 5: This is a transferformational moment for humankind. 57 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 6: An incredibly eventful weekend as the United States, along with Israel, 58 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 6: bombed Iran and continues the on onslaught and of course 59 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 6: Iran with a response. Then you have in Austin, Texas, 60 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 6: a nasty mass murder event where an individual who the 61 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 6: FBI now says is a terrorist attack, a Muslim from 62 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 6: senem living in Flugerville, which is outside of Austin, wearing 63 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 6: a sweatshirt that says property of Allah, would massacre people 64 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 6: at a late night bar on Austin's popular Sixth Street, 65 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 6: including the first one killed a young student from Texas Tech, 66 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 6: probably visiting his buddies. I know he was visiting his buddies, 67 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 6: because my kids, my oldest son is at ut and 68 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 6: it's not hard. The connections are not hard to track down. 69 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 6: And there he was enjoying college life with his buddies 70 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 6: that were at the University of Texas, which is in Austin, 71 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 6: and having a good time on a Saturday night and. 72 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: Gets murdered. 73 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 6: By a terrorist acting in the name of Islam. And 74 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 6: Tomorrow is the first day of the primaries for the 75 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 6: midterm elections, which will determine will Republicans continue to control 76 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 6: the House, will Republicans continue to control the Senate? And 77 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 6: you'll have state houses in play house, Senate, governors, courts, 78 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 6: all sorts of positions across the country. Tomorrow is the 79 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 6: first day March third in the primary season. It's the 80 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 6: first primaries of this year. Will be Texas, Who's Arkansas? 81 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 6: In North Carolina? Will all be Tomorrow. We will speak 82 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 6: to Wesley Hunt and Ken Paxton, the two challengers to 83 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 6: four term, long term unpopular Senator John Cornyan, who is 84 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 6: running unsuccessfully for re election without the support of the President. 85 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: We'll talk to both of those. 86 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 6: Candidates about that race and tomorrow's election day, we'll know 87 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 6: a lot more Tomorrow night. I'll talk a little bit 88 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 6: about some of what's going on in Texas, including with 89 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 6: the Democrats, and there are some interesting Bellweather cases, Bellweather 90 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 6: themes that we're going to see playing out in the 91 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 6: primaries over the next few months that will go all 92 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 6: the way I think. I think somebody has an August 93 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 6: somebody may even have a September primary. I just looked 94 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 6: last night, But some of the primaries go all the 95 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 6: way to August. So unlike the presidential years every four years, 96 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 6: where where you know Iowa wants to start their caucus 97 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 6: in January so they can have the most influence and 98 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 6: then by March the race, the primaries are over for 99 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 6: all intensive purposes. 100 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: Well, the opposite is true, so New Hampshire is late. 101 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: I think New Hampshire is August this year. 102 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 6: So you know, in a presidential election, it's the Iowa 103 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 6: caucus and then New Hampshire and then you go down 104 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 6: to South Carolina. That is not what the primaries look 105 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 6: like during the off seasons the midterm. So what happens 106 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 6: tomorrow is going to be a question as to how 107 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 6: do primary voters feel about what's going on in Washington, 108 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 6: d C. How important will the Trump endorsement be a 109 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 6: lot will be at play tomorrow. We'll get to that 110 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 6: in a moment, but first we're going to talk about Iran. 111 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 6: We're going to talk about what's happening here domestically. I 112 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 6: am not going to go through a lot of what 113 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 6: has happened. I'm going to assume you already know that, 114 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 6: talk about why I think it's important, and raise some 115 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 6: questions that I think will be answering over the coming 116 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 6: days and months coming up. 117 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: Michael Barry shows. 118 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 6: Friends will often reach out and ask for my reaction 119 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 6: over a weekend like this past one, and I never 120 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 6: give it because I find that at moments like this, 121 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 6: having a passionate reaction and talking before you have every 122 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 6: bit of information possible to glean is a position of weakness, 123 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 6: not strength. It is interesting to see the voices that 124 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 6: emerge quickly because those are usually not organic. There are 125 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 6: people in place at moments like this who are on 126 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 6: the payroll of someone with a vested interest in being 127 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 6: the first to market with an opinion. There is a reason, 128 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 6: for instance, the Irani military pushes out using their media, 129 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 6: an immediate reaction that downplays the damage done, attempts to 130 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 6: sage any concerns as to what's happening in Iran and 131 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 6: promise vengeance for Allah and the people of Iran, even 132 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 6: if it's not true. The reason is to get out 133 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 6: in front and because confusion and fear will paralyze you, 134 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 6: so the idea is to reassure. But it's also the 135 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 6: case in the United States that there are a lot 136 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 6: of people. The United States is a big audience to 137 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 6: the battles of the world because we have all the 138 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 6: money and all the military power. So you have a 139 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 6: lot of interest seeking to sway the American electorate, especially 140 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 6: in an election year, where people are really paying attention 141 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 6: in the way they wouldn't politicians are really paying attention 142 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 6: to the way they wouldn't otherwise. So you see the 143 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 6: Israeli perspective comes out, and that's Nettan Yahoo. And then 144 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 6: you see people who are sort of surrogates for the 145 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 6: Israeli perspective, and some of those are very very well 146 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 6: placed individuals. And then you have something that didn't always happen. 147 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 6: You have other people who are sort of a counterbalance 148 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 6: to that. So whereas you have a Barry Weiss at 149 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 6: CBS or Mark Levin doing his show, now you've got 150 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 6: a I think the most prominent would be Tucker Carlson, 151 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 6: but you got Candice Owen's weighing in, and now Marjorie 152 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 6: Taylor Green weighing in, and then you've got Vin Shapiro 153 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 6: with sort of a very pro Israeli perspective. And wherever 154 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 6: you come down in the middle of that is up 155 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 6: to you. But it's important to recognize that a battle 156 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 6: is being waged for your heart and mind. And the 157 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 6: average American, I don't think would be as interested in 158 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 6: what's going on halfway around the world unless you're on 159 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 6: Twitter or YouTube or Fox. But whatever tribe to which 160 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 6: you belong is pushing whatever narrative that tends to be 161 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 6: repeated by the members of the tribe taking orders or 162 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 6: just really influenced. And that's this battle you see playing 163 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 6: out where it's no longer just US Israel, Iran with 164 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 6: China or Russia or pack stand sniping. It now becomes 165 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 6: Tucker versus Ben Shapiro at tax on Megan Kelly, a 166 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 6: tax on, Candice Owen's attax on Mark Levin. 167 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: And now you've got these very very personal. 168 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 6: Battles being played out. If you don't know about this 169 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 6: whole scene, you don't need to go research it because 170 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 6: of a lot of it is not really about the 171 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 6: the thing that is claimed to be argued over. A 172 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 6: lot of it is about the competition by content creators 173 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 6: for big money. You've got people who are paid to bash, 174 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 6: who are paid to bash Tucker or support Israel, and 175 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 6: you've got people who are bash paid to bash Israel. 176 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: And I do think there is now a. 177 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 6: Greater sophistication by wealthy Middle Eastern countries that you need 178 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 6: to have spokesman in this country who have a viral 179 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 6: following their own tribe, and I do think that they 180 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 6: have learned to play on this stage. And that means 181 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 6: whether that is trying to compete with Israel for the 182 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 6: voices of the late Charlie Kirk and the successor interest 183 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 6: entity that he has, or Tucker Carlson or Candice Owns 184 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 6: or Megan Kelly or any number of other voices. If 185 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 6: all of this is foreign to you, then that's probably 186 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 6: a good thing. It is not a mentally healthy place 187 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 6: to be to be in the middle of all of that, 188 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 6: which is why I have steadfastly resisted any entreaties to 189 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 6: join it. Rush stayed pretty clear of all of this, 190 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 6: and he stayed clear of the rivalries, and I think 191 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 6: side shows that can overtake creative, informative, engaging programming. So 192 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 6: much of the discussion about American foreign policy now, particularly 193 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 6: as it relates to Israel in the Middle East, but 194 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 6: to a lesser extent Ukraine and Russia, revolves around these 195 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 6: competing fiefdoms with their tribe each trying to burn the 196 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 6: other one. And it's nasty and it's ugly, and there 197 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 6: is an audience for that. It's a younger audience. It's 198 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 6: kind of more of a wrestling audience. They'd like to 199 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 6: see some blows connect and some people knocked out. 200 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: And but I say all this to say. 201 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 6: What's really going to matter is are our boys going 202 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 6: to be sent to the Middle East? And there is 203 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 6: going to be a massive push in Donald Trump's ear 204 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 6: to send American men to die in the Middle East. 205 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 6: There were, by the way, some casualties already, some deaths 206 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 6: of our young people. Three US service members killed as 207 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 6: of last night, five others seriously wounded. That matters. I've 208 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 6: heard a number of people in public life answer the question, well, 209 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 6: you know, it's just part of doing it. Why don't 210 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 6: you tell every person before they sign up. At some 211 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 6: point you'll just be cannon fodder because that's part of 212 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 6: what we're doing. Unacceptable. Every American life should be grieved 213 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 6: and honored and remembered because they made the ultimate sacrifice, 214 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 6: and that's important. We're going to talk to these Senate candidates, 215 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 6: Wesley Hunt and Ken Paxton in what is the most 216 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 6: interesting Senate race, in my opinion, in the country, where 217 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 6: you have a four term US Senator who is being 218 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 6: challenged and will likely be defeated, and this is a 219 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 6: real slap in the face to the swamp. Voting tomorrow 220 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 6: on what is known drives me crazy as election day, 221 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 6: after ten days of early voting in the US Senate race, 222 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 6: we will talk to two of the three, Wesley Hunt 223 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 6: now and Ken Paxton in just a moment. Wesley Hunt, 224 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 6: the day before or the day before election day, and 225 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 6: you have worked your tailoff. 226 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: Where do you feel like you stand? How do you feel? 227 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 7: I feel great about it. I was that's just in Harlington, 228 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 7: down south gude In at about three o'clock in the 229 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 7: morning last night. I want to be in Cyprus tonight. 230 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 7: And again I've been running a campaign. I'm the only 231 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 7: one that's hex You've been running a campaign. I've been 232 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 7: traveling all over Texas to actually get in front of voters, 233 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 7: look at them in their eyes, and tell them exactly 234 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 7: what I wanted to do to keep Texas Texas. And 235 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 7: my whole goal, and his whole thing was to get 236 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 7: into a runoff. And the way I see it is 237 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 7: is that we still have a puncher shot at this thing. 238 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 7: I do believe that General Paxson will finish in first place, 239 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 7: and my goal was to get in second place to 240 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 7: challenge General Paxson so that the people of Texas could 241 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 7: have an actual choice of a true Conservative for the future. 242 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 6: It's interesting Paxton has led throughout as most people expected 243 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 6: he would. Your entry into the race was feared by 244 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 6: some folks that I know who are Paston supporters, and 245 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 6: I said, it's not clear which candidate he helps or 246 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 6: hurts the most, but you steadily drew support early on, 247 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 6: and then the DC swamp came after you, from Tim 248 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 6: Scott to the Thune crowd to the Establishment, all of 249 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 6: Cornyn's cronies, and it takes its toll. I got to 250 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 6: tell you, the one that really got me was them 251 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 6: calling you Washington Wesley when you've been in DC for 252 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 6: a cup of coffee, and John Corny has been there 253 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 6: for twenty four years. I have to think they had 254 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 6: around that night in the crowd in Washington with Washington 255 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 6: money that live in Washington and control Washington calling you 256 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 6: Washington Wesley. 257 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: How do you feel, Washing. 258 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, I saw that when Washington Wesley and then John 259 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 7: Corny of what people calling me a rhino, I thought 260 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 7: that was absolutely hilarious and all that they would have 261 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 7: spent in upwards of almost fifteen seventeen million dollars over 262 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 7: the course of two weeks. At one point they were 263 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 7: sending a million dollars a day hitting me with Smith 264 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 7: that I was clearly and I am clearly a threat 265 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 7: to the system. And that's the reason why I stayed 266 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 7: in this race, was to be a threat to the system. 267 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 7: I want to take a sledge effort to this thing 268 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 7: because no, I am not Washington Wesley. No I am 269 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 7: not a rhino. I was the first person in the 270 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 7: country to endorse President Trump. 271 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 2: As I have said on your show. 272 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 7: Multiple times, I was wunner President Trump's top farrogates. And 273 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 7: you are correct. How can I be Washington Wesley when 274 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 7: I've been around for three years and when I am 275 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 7: running on if I am running on term limits, I 276 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 7: am running on eight two terms. That's it. 277 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: Twelve years no more. 278 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 7: That is all because that's exactly what our founding fathers wanted. 279 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 7: And also, I think we have done with career politicians. 280 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 7: I think that's the problem with John Corny is that 281 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 7: he's been around for so long that he forgot about 282 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 7: what Texas really stood for. And that's why he's in 283 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 7: this position as a twenty four year covent with a 284 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 7: war chest of a numbers of one hundred million dollars. 285 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 6: You know better than most people why you ran. If 286 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 6: John Cornyn was doing a good job, you wouldn't have run. 287 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 6: People couldn't believe you were willing to scale that. Heell, 288 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 6: you've never been afraid of anything before. But what about Cornyn? 289 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 6: Do people need to know? 290 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: Because if Cornyn was doing a good job, we wouldn't 291 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: be having this conversation. 292 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 7: If Cornyn was doing a good job, and if Cornyn 293 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 7: wasn't a Bush era Lincoln Project Republican. And we all 294 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 7: know it. 295 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: We have now known it for years. 296 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 7: We knew it six years ago when he ran, We 297 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 7: knew it a couple of years ago at the Texas 298 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 7: Convention when he got the boot off the stage. Everyone 299 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 7: knows this, And how you spend that kind of money 300 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 7: and you are still pulling in the high twenties and thirties, 301 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,719 Speaker 7: it's absolutely beyond me. He should have retired. We all 302 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 7: know that his homies are Tillis and McConnell and caffiy 303 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 7: and Collins, that you are the people that won't look 304 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 7: the filibuster. These are the people that won't push the 305 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 7: America First agenda forward like the mandate that was given 306 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 7: to President Trump. And let me tell you something, he 307 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 7: would be in lockstep with all of them today if 308 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 7: this worked an election year, and if he wasn't being 309 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 7: challenged by General Paxson and myself. We all know what 310 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 7: he is, and a leper cannot change those spots. And 311 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 7: so the fact that he needs in this kind of 312 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 7: trouble at the big around for this long that should 313 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 7: never happen to an incumbent if they're doing their job. 314 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 6: It's noteworthy, you know, as far as endorsements go, that 315 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 6: President Trump notably did not endorse Greenshaw and did not 316 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 6: endorse Cornan. And I think it's embarrassing to Cornyn and 317 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 6: he knows it, and that was the rabbit he thought 318 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 6: he pull out of a hat, But nobody ever believed 319 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 6: that he would support cornn President Trump has had to 320 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 6: delicately walk this balance without endorsing him throughout and fearing 321 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 6: that he might need Corny in for a vote at 322 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 6: any given moment. It's been fascinating to watch how the 323 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 6: President has handled this. But that should tell every big 324 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 6: Trump supporter a lot. Why doesn't Trump endorse the incumbent 325 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 6: that should tell you you need change? Weren't anything else 326 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 6: if you're a big Trump supporter. 327 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: He is one of two. 328 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 7: Republican and tumments that he has not endorsed that day 329 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 7: of Texas, John Cornyn is one of two Republican incumbents 330 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 7: at the senatorial level, and the entire touch of that 331 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 7: he has not endorsed is he and Collins. That should 332 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 7: tell you all you need to know. And like I said, 333 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 7: I'm the guy that never I never put words in 334 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 7: a president's mouth. I don't speak for President Trump, not 335 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 7: one bit, but it does speak volumes that he is 336 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 7: one of two and combents that he has not endorsed. 337 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 6: Wesley Hunt, candidate for US Senate, current United States Congressman 338 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 6: I went digging this weekend and I came across something 339 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 6: called the Luger Center in DC, a longtime Republican squish, 340 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 6: Senator Richard Lueger, who was a big believer in bipartisanship, 341 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 6: by which he meant the swamp the establishment doing what 342 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 6: DC wants, not what the state of Texas wants. And 343 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 6: the Luger Center gives a score on the most bipartisan senators. 344 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 6: Susan Collins is number one. Susan Collins acts as a 345 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 6: Democrat even though she gets elected as a Republican or 346 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 6: an independent. Lisa Murkowski is number seven, and we all 347 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 6: know that Lisa Murkowski is no friend to any of 348 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 6: our causes of the Republican Party. John Cornyn ranked number 349 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 6: five on that list. If I had the time to 350 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 6: explain two people what that means that you would have 351 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 6: such a high ranking, that is as disturbing as anything 352 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 6: you could ever know about this man who's been in 353 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 6: office since nineteen eighty five. 354 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: He is a swamp creature. Yes, believable. 355 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 7: And that's also why you want to talk about liberty 356 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 7: scores as well. You know, his liberty score is around 357 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 7: fifty percent. And this tenty five was exactly what you 358 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 7: just said, and that's just not where Texas is today. 359 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 7: You know, there was a time when that was acceptable 360 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 7: and those times are over. And if you are a Republican, 361 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 7: a Bush era Republican from the two thousands, back when 362 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 7: I first graduated from West Point, actually the first time 363 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 7: that John Corner was elected, when he became a judge, 364 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 7: I was eleven months old. By the time you get 365 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 7: to this point in your career, it's time to push 366 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 7: it aside and it's time to do something else. And 367 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 7: at the end of the day, I realized something a 368 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 7: long time ago. No matter what come January, John Corner 369 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 7: is not going to be a senator anymore. And it 370 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 7: cost a party an arm in a lag to show 371 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 7: the exact same thing. 372 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 6: In the end, Well, when Tim Scott felt the need 373 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 6: to come out and attack you, that's when I knew 374 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 6: they were in trouble. When they started round the claw 375 00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 6: attacks on you, that's when I knew they knew how 376 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 6: bad a trouble they're in. 377 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: Burning the cash. 378 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 6: As as their donors have said, Wesley Hunt, you'd never 379 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 6: quit on the football field, you never quit as a 380 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 6: warrior in the United States Army, and you won't quit here. 381 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: Good luck to you, my friend, God bless you think 382 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: for having me on as always. Brother, Thank you, and 383 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: here we are the day before election day. 384 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 6: Send Congressman Wesley Hunt and Attorney General Ken Paxton, vying 385 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 6: to unseat twenty four year, forty one years in elected 386 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 6: office John Cornyan as swampy, a swamp creature as you 387 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 6: will find. 388 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: We'll talk to Ken Paxton coming up. Exclaims key, It 389 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: claims key. It's done for a girl and the boy. 390 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: I like land Aberry's show. We just heard from Congressman 391 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: Wesley Hunt. 392 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 6: Now we speak to Attorney General Ken Paxton, challenging twenty 393 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 6: four year old twenty four year incumbent John Cornyn. John 394 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 6: Cornyan is scared he's losing in the polls, and he 395 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 6: was booed at the state Republican convention. He's counting on 396 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 6: Democrats coming over and voting in the primary to help 397 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 6: him win because he cannot win Republicans. 398 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: It got so bad that he made this statement. 399 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 8: I know Republicans voters, and as I said earlier, really 400 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 8: it's a question of who bothers to show up. If 401 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 8: only the most radical people show up in the primary, 402 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 8: then I think that's going to be a challenge. 403 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 6: He's not talking about suicide bombers. He's talking about not 404 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 6: talking about Irani Mullah's He's talking about Republican voters that 405 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 6: don't vote for him. 406 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: Listen to this one more time. 407 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 8: I know Republicans voters, and as I said earlier, really 408 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 8: it's a question of who to show up. If only 409 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 8: the most radical people show up in the primary, then 410 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 8: I think that's going to be a challenge. 411 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 6: General Paxton. Are these Republicans showing up to vote that 412 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 6: we need in November that are voting for you? Are 413 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 6: these radicals, first of all. 414 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 2: Have the Independence Day it takes for in Dependence Day? Yeah, 415 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 2: I think it tells you the mindset of John Cornyn 416 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 2: when he considers Republican voters radicals. That's why when he 417 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: was booed by what ten twelve thousand Republican delegates, we're 418 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 2: talking about the base of the party three years ago 419 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 2: because he sided with Joe Biden restricting second Amendment, right, 420 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 2: That's why he dismissed it as these people don't matter. 421 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 2: So he views a very large segment of the Republican 422 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 2: Party is not mattering because guess what, they don't matter? 423 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 6: To him at all, and that says it all for 424 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 6: him to suggest he knows he's going to lose in 425 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 6: the first round. There's a chance you win without a runoff, 426 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 6: but if he does go to the runoff, that is 427 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 6: the theme that DC has given him to run on, 428 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 6: is that the only people who don't like him are radicals. 429 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 6: And I think it's important for every Republican in state 430 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 6: of Texas, for every Texan to understand what he is 431 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 6: saying that people who care deeply about our core issues 432 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 6: that these candidates have been running on are being called radicals. 433 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 6: When we use the term radical with regard to Islam, 434 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 6: it has meaning when we use a term radical to 435 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 6: talk about our neighbors, that's disturbing to me. 436 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 2: Jim Paxton, it's disturbing to me too, because it's a 437 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 2: disdain for the Republicans and the vote. Most Republicans would 438 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 2: be considered in his view, radical because they adhere to 439 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 2: the Constitution, they adhere to conservative fiscal and social values, 440 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 2: and so if you do that, in his mind, you're 441 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 2: a radical, which tells you everything you need to know 442 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 2: and why he should not be represent anymore. 443 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 6: I was researching over the weekend and I ended up 444 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 6: on the site of something called a Luger Center, named 445 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 6: for a long time Senate squish, Richard Luger from Indiana. 446 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 6: And they give a bipartisanship score, which is kind of 447 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 6: they're out of DC, which is kind of a squish score. 448 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 6: And it turned out that John Cornyn ranked number five, 449 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 6: Susan Collins number one, Lisa Murkowski at seven. You're you're 450 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 6: more quote unquote bipartisan than Lisa Murkowski. 451 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: The Luger Center. 452 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 6: Luger was a gun control guy, a global warming guy, 453 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 6: dreamat guy, amnesty guy, and a huge Trump critic, all 454 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 6: while supposedly a Republican. 455 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: We don't need his type. It says everything that the Luger. 456 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 6: Center thinks the world of John Cornyan's voting record, and 457 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 6: every Republican primary who I guess is a radical is 458 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 6: where he's having problems today. 459 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 2: And interesting enough, Richard Luger, I think, was the last 460 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 2: Republican to lose in a primary as a US senator. 461 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 2: He is he definitely set the trend for John Cornyn, 462 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 2: and John corn is walking right down that path. 463 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 6: Well knowing that they're losing and knowing that about seventy 464 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 6: five percent of Republican voters who've been pulled consistently throughout 465 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 6: this process do not want the seventy four year old 466 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 6: four term senator to go back for number five and 467 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 6: attack Trump and work with Fune and refuse to pass 468 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 6: the Save Act. 469 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: But their argument now has turned not to whether he. 470 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 6: Would get anything done and is a good guy, or 471 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 6: anything related to his record, which he has none to 472 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 6: run on that's positive among the base because he's upset, 473 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 6: I guess the radicals. But now they say, well, Ken 474 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 6: Paxton can't win in November. Vote for me now, even 475 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 6: though you don't want to. Don't vote for the guy 476 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 6: you want because nobody will vote for him in November. 477 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: What do you say to that? 478 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 2: It's a pretty pathetic argument. First of all, it's unsubstantiated, 479 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 2: just made up, just like every position he now holds, 480 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 2: saying he sports Trump when he hated Trump the whole time, 481 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 2: just like saying he's for the border wall but he 482 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 2: never was. So this idea that I can't want to 483 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 2: I can't want to get a Democrat. I've had three 484 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 2: state Wider recollections that I did very well, and I 485 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 2: want I'm three for three. And also, if you look 486 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: at the polling. I actually do as well or better 487 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 2: than him when you look at the polling against whatever 488 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 2: Democrat ends up being there. So it's unsubstantiated, made up, 489 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 2: But that's what he's doing. The whole campaign is made 490 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 2: up about him being a different guy than he really is, 491 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: and it made up about me. 492 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 6: What is the campaign strategy, It's it's a distance down 493 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 6: the road. We don't know who comes out of Democrat primary, 494 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 6: Crocketer or tallerco tell Rico's claiming that they have the 495 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 6: lead now, But what is the message statewide to Textans 496 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 6: once you if you win the primary, what is the 497 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 6: message that unites us in November to win? 498 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of issues in United I 499 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 2: mean every American security, the budget, every budget of every 500 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 2: American should care about fair and free elections.
