Donors 38 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: at the Senate Republicans campaign arm retreat at the Breakers 39 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: Resort in Palm Beach this past weekend quote publicly clant, 40 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: publicly complained about Trump's refusal to endorse John Cornyn. Privately, 41 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: donors are furious. Will then be furious you don't get 42 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: to decide things. That's the whole point. There's nothing worse 43 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: than rich old men who give money to campaigns thinking 44 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: they run the country. Throughout history you have had rich 45 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: old men working as puppeteers to control everyone else with 46 00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: callous cruelty, with self dealing obnoxiousness. It's what led the 47 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: French Revolution, It's what leads to many revolutions. I gave 48 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: a speech yesterday at lunch, which I haven't done in 49 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: a long time, because I'd been told there were some 50 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: folks there that didn't care for me, which is fine, 51 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: and the group was a very well healed group, some 52 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: major business leaders and some folks with real money, and 53 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: I simply made the point, you don't have to like 54 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: what I say every day. In fact, it's probably good 55 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: that you don't, but you should also understand how important 56 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: what I do is, because in a democratic republic, I 57 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: don't know how you think that working class people, that 58 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: non politically connected people are supposed to share your values, 59 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: are supposed to see through the silly news stories and 60 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: are supposed to understand how we overlay capitalism with the 61 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: Anglo American jurisprudence with a society like we have with 62 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: the rule of law, with Democrat Republicanism. Who do you 63 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: think you think people learned that in civics? How else 64 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: do you think that's going to happen. Who else do 65 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: you think is going to speak directly to people the 66 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: way Rush did, Not that we're Rush, I'm saying that 67 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: would not say that. No surprise. The liberal Houston Chronicle 68 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: that hates Trump has now endorsed Dan Crinshaw and they're 69 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: on a roll here, John Cornyn. They endorsed Dan Crenshaw 70 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: on the basis that Dan Crenshaw is maga Republicans, he's maga, 71 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: which saying he's not maga, he's maga. You'll vote for 72 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: him now he's maga. As if we needed the Houston 73 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: Chronicle to tell us that he's supportive of Trump, he's not. 74 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: As if we needed that. The Houston Chronicle is now 75 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: vouching for Dan Crenshaw's conservative credentials, his pro Trump credentials, 76 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: his America First credentials. If America is in Ukraine and 77 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: you can cash the check there, Yeah, he is. Now 78 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: two days Lefe, they're lecturing us that Republicans need to 79 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: vote for John Cornyn because he's the one with the 80 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 1: best path to win, because I'm sure that's what they want, 81 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 1: is him winning. The editorial board endorsing John Cornyan, writing quote, 82 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: the Trump circle needs to hang on to their only 83 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: hang on to their remaining allies with black belts in legislating. 84 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: Wait what John Corny. 85 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 6: Black belt in legislator, who comes. 86 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: Up with this stuff?

They will tell you who to 105 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: vote for, noting the Trump circle needs to hang on 106 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: to their remaining allies with black belts in legislating. See, 107 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: you're too stupid to know that. You don't know how 108 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: important and valuable John Corny is to you because you're stupid. 109 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: But we're the Houston Chronicle Editorial Board. We'll tell you 110 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: what's in your best interest because we really want to 111 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: help you succeed. The Republican senator who joined with Biden 112 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: for the gun rests in the twenty twenty two Bipartisan 113 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: Safer Communities Act sound like a good idea, huh. Chronicle 114 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: editorial board tried to run a very weak defense of Cornan, 115 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: writing quote Trump supporters, eager to give Cornan the heave 116 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: Hoe have pointed to his working across the aisle on 117 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: bills like the twenty twenty two Bipartisan Safer Communities Act 118 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: as evidence of his moderation not only in disposition but 119 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: in policy. Puel back the layers of political strategy. However, 120 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: see y'all don't understand, y'all't understand corn is so deep undercover. 121 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: When he's over there voting with the Democrats and throwing 122 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: stones at Trump, he's actually secretly working as an undercover 123 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: agent on your ball. Huh. Don't make us say it 124 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: out loud. And it becomes clear that Cornyan was cleverly 125 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: playing a more advanced game. Thank you, Houston Chronicle. I 126 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: can't see what he's doing, only you can see. The 127 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: Houston Chronicle makes the point, we don't really know what's 128 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: going on. We see Cornan working very hard to destroy 129 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: Trump and our agenda. But the Houston Chronicle now says, no, no, no, 130 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: All the while, Cornan was working for us undercover over 131 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: there with them. Huh. Listen to this, And in order 132 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: to give themselves credibility, they're telling you who to vote for. 133 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: Which is Cornyn. Peel back the layers of political strategy, however, 134 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: and it becomes clear that Cornan was cleverly playing a 135 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: more advanced game, much to the dismay of this editorial board. 136 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: You know, I didn't trust them telling me who to 137 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: vote for. But now that they admit, you know, we'll 138 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: be honest with you. We didn't want Cornan to be 139 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: so successful in advancing the Trump agenda by actually coming 140 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: over and with us. 141 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 10: We did know. 142 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: We were thinking, gosh, darn it, that Corning. He's so good. 143 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: He's helping Trump. We thought he was helping He's he's 144 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: a head of the game. They continue after all that 145 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: gun safety legislation was passed amid a nationwide demand for 146 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: action after the brutal slaughter of nineteen students and two 147 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: cheap teachers in Uvalde. At the time, we hope that 148 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: it would be a first and not last step in 149 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: bipartisan support for common sense regulations that make us all safer. 150 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: It wasn't. As a lead Republican negotiator, Corning definitely, he 151 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: definitely did it. Guys has to bill that eliminated some 152 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: loopholes for federal background check laws and provided optional funding 153 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: for red flag laws. Pro Gun critics may claim that 154 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: these narrow changes made it easier for the government to 155 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: take away firearms. Oh, you can say that given the 156 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: government power to take away firearms. Was given government the 157 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: power to take away firearms. But John Corning, he was 158 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: sh He was doing stuff you couldn't even see. He 159 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: was wicked smart. Frankly, the Trump circle needs to hang 160 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: on to their remaining allies with black belts and legislator. Hey, look, guys, 161 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: we're just gonna be honest with you. Okay, we're gonna 162 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: be asking me. Cornyn is the guy. Okay, y'all don't 163 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: need y'all don't need to be without Corning. Okay, without Corning, 164 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: y'all got nothing. Okay, We're just be honest with you. 165 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: You should keep Corning. Okay, y'all keep saying, Oh, Corny's 166 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: helping the Democrats, Corny's taking our guns. 167 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 6: What you don't realize is Corning is secretly hurting us 168 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 6: and helping you by acting like he's helping us and 169 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 6: looking like he's helping you, but you don't realize what 170 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 6: he's doing. 171 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: He's really really helpful because otherwise y'all would do stuff. 172 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: Y'all would do stuff that was too conservative. See, but 173 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: Cornan always knows when to rein it back. 174 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 6: Yeah. 175 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: Many other senior Republican senators have broken with the MAGA 176 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: movement in one way or another. See the others have 177 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: done it too. Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina has 178 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: become a vocal critic of how the Trump administration handled 179 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: the fading pedal shooting of Alex Preddi. Senator Bill Cassidy 180 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: of Louisiana voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial. 181 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the former Majority leader, opposed 182 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: several cabinet appointments in Trump's second term. See all your 183 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: guys are turning against you. Don't vote against Cornyon for that. 184 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: Plenty of Trump supporters in DC can lace up their 185 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: MAGA brand sneakers, jump up and down for the social 186 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: media camera, and put on a pro Trump performance for 187 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: eager audiences. Cornyn actually does the work. This is always 188 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: a good one. He used to tell us this about 189 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. You know, everybody criticizes Clinton for all his 190 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: bad laws and all that, but he rolls up his sleeve, 191 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: gets work. 192 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 4: Y'all. 193 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: Don't understand legislating is work. You got dinner work. There's 194 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: old John wayn mccornyn. He's a workhorse, not a show horse. 195 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: He got that Kong Fu fighting thing vibe going, y'all. 196 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: Don't even realize it. For as long as Congress writes 197 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: the laws in our country, political movements will need legislators 198 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: able to navigate the Institution's convoluted rules and procedures. In 199 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: order to move policy, Texas Republican primary voters need to 200 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: decide whether they're in it for the show or for 201 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: the policy wins. It's John Cornyn working against Donald Trump 202 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: that helps Donald Trump. The mouth. People don't even realize 203 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: that you it iss Maga, it iss John Cornyn. It 204 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: was John Cornyn all along, like Robert the Bruce is well, 205 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: you know it's great. Well, Ken Paxton, guess come out. 206 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: You're listening to Michael Berry consistently in every single poll, 207 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: the Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton is leading the 208 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: field by varying degrees. The last Bold come out from 209 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: University of Houston Public Polling Center had him at thirty 210 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: eight to thirty one over cornyin a rather sizable lead 211 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: that keeps extending. Here's our guest, Welcome to the program. 212 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 10: You know, good morning, Thanks for having me on. And 213 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 10: I think that's true. And we're actually, I think going 214 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 10: to be on TV a little bit more so you'll 215 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 10: start seeing some of my ads, which should even help 216 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 10: even further. Given that Korn's been doing this since mid 217 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 10: July and still can't catch up, I think he's got 218 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 10: some major problems. 219 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: I read an article yesday. I think it was Politico 220 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: that referred to burning money, that the donors are angry, 221 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: the DC swamp donors are angry that his campaign is 222 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: just burning money. I think. 223 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 10: I mean it's around that we can track we don't. 224 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 10: You know, we can't track digital, we can't track mail, 225 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 10: we can't track text messaging. So just what we can track, 226 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 10: he's somewhere between sixty and seventy million dollars and so 227 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 10: to be have such an ineffective campaign after having such 228 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 10: huge financial advantage because they have special rules that allow 229 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 10: them to get around the normal fundraising roles. If you're 230 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 10: in incumbent, you don't. You have special committees that can 231 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 10: take money that I don't have access to, which allow 232 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 10: them to face seventy million because normally you're limited. 233 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: To thirty five hundred. 234 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 10: So how do you do that? Well, they have special 235 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 10: rules and they're still with it. 236 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: But it turns out that if you're selling crap to 237 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: people for dinner, at some point they say, we don't 238 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: eat crap. We don't want crap, So you can dress 239 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: it up however you want, we don't want it. Let's 240 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: start with policy issues, which is I think while you're 241 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: in the lead, you have taken action. Let's start with 242 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: the Colony Ridge settlement that you were able to get 243 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: a deal on this week. I think sixty eight billion dollars, 244 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: no further development for some period of time. That's a 245 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: win for the Paxton campaign, but it's a win for 246 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: the people of Texas. 247 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 10: What happened, So you hit it right. We've been investigating 248 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 10: this for quite some time, well over a year, and 249 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 10: the dj was also investigating, and we worked with them 250 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 10: and calling a ridge to come up with a settlement. 251 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 10: You're right, they're going to pay sixty eight million dollars. 252 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 10: At least twenty million of that is could be allocated 253 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 10: to law enforcement efforts. They're gonna have to build a 254 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 10: law enforcement center plot they're going to have to freeze 255 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 10: plotting for several years. There's going to be a requirement 256 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 10: that these people are identify so we know that their citizens. 257 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 10: Certain people are going to be a lot in from 258 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 10: China and Iran. They can't buy property. So we've got 259 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 10: I think some big wins. And they're going to be 260 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 10: forced to follow some compliance standards on how they build 261 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 10: their homes, and they're actually going to have to build 262 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 10: homes instead of just sell land and have these people 263 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 10: build the houses that are not up to standard. 264 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: They repeatedly gave state representative Briscocine money. He called them 265 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: the American dream, and he's now running from that. You 266 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: saw what happened, your thoughts. 267 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 10: I don't think this was the American dream. I mean, 268 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 10: I get that it allowed people that were low income 269 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 10: levels to purchase property, but it was not well done. 270 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 10: That wasn't done in compliance with our laws, and there 271 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 10: was no regard for whether people were the illegals or not, 272 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 10: and so I don't quite a view it. I don't 273 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 10: agree with that view, and I think it's important that 274 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 10: we address that because if we allow this type of 275 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 10: stuff in Texas, we're going to get more of it, 276 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 10: and we're going to get more illegals, we're going to 277 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 10: get bad housing, and we're going to get more crime. 278 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 10: And we're trying to resolve that with this, With this settlement. 279 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: Drunk Dade feeling is no longer the speaker of the 280 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: house is unheard of. That he would be driven from 281 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: that perch at a relatively young age, with a big 282 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: runway in front of him. They came at you with 283 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: an attempt to impeach you. It split the Republican Party, 284 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: It infuriated people. There are state reps that are no 285 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: longer in office because of it. There's egg on a 286 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: lot of people's face as a result of it. And 287 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: somehow brisco Paint Briscoe Kane allowed himself to be used 288 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: as a as an instrument to lead the charge against you. 289 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: Did that surprise you? 290 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 10: You know, I was surprised. I was surprised by a 291 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 10: lot of Republicans that you know. 292 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: It is. 293 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 10: There's a lot of pressure. Date feeling exerted a lot 294 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 10: of pressure on these guys and had a group of 295 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 10: guys that helped them, including you know, Craig Goldman who 296 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 10: is now a Congressman, who helped him organize and pressure 297 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 10: Republicans who had this presentation from John Smithy on the 298 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 10: floor talking about how there was no due process, that 299 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 10: they didn't follow any of the rules, any of the laws, 300 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 10: and any constitutional provisions, and yet they were pressured into 301 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 10: it and many of most of them capitulated. And it's 302 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 10: pretty sad that this is the Republican Party that I'm 303 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 10: in that capitulated and went with what they feel and 304 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 10: wanted to do, and the Bite administration. 305 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: It's the dirtiest thing I've seen done by a cabal 306 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: of Republicans in as long as I can remember. It 307 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: was dirty. It's Epstein file level dirty. It's John McCain 308 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: and the Keating seven dirty. It's filthy. It really stunk, 309 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: and I know that at the activist level, it infuriated people, 310 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: made people very angry. And there are a lot of 311 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: people who were behind that, behind the scenes, who managed 312 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: in some cases to keep their fingerprints off. And I 313 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: said at the time, this isn't about Ken Paxton as 314 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: attorney general. He beat him as a state rep he 315 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: beat him as a state senator, he beat him to 316 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: be attorney general, he beat him again as Attorney general. 317 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: In the George P. Bush campaign. This is about knocking 318 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: him out because if he runs against Corn, and the 319 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: polling shows, and they were polling at the time that 320 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: you would beat Corn, which you now are. This was 321 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,959 Speaker 1: about I've seen this game. You knock you whack them 322 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: old guy before he gets big enough or gets into 323 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: the office to win the campaign. And yet here we are. 324 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: Here we are they smeared you, and here we are 325 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: and the base has seen through it, which makes. 326 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 10: Me very happy now, by the grace of God, I'm 327 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 10: here and the people of Texas because that is what 328 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 10: saved me. And it was the people of Texas speaking 329 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 10: up to their senators saying you can't do this. And 330 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 10: you know, I couldn't be more grateful for all those 331 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 10: people in Texas that stood up for me and the 332 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 10: politicians would have taken you out. You're right, it was 333 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 10: a plan. They were on the track. They were doing 334 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 10: it as fast as they could with as little information 335 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 10: shown to the voters or to me about what they 336 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 10: were doing. And they try to do it just extremely fast, 337 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 10: and they didn't follow that. They didn't follow state law, 338 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 10: they didn't follow the competition, and I didn't have due process. 339 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 10: And I'm just grateful that I was able to survive 340 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 10: that and now challenge John Cornyn and a guy that 341 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 10: hasn't accomplished anything Protectas in four decades. 342 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: It's interesting how many people support Cornyn who try to 343 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: make this race about anything other and everything other than 344 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: the job at hand, in the policy wins that we want. 345 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: And I have found that when people are trying to 346 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: distract you from the actual policies that the average person 347 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: cares about, and that's really all we care about. How 348 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: striking it is that the people who want to talk 349 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: about everything other than that is because they're losing on 350 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: the policy issues. And those people, whether it's the Chronicle 351 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: editorial board endorsing John Cornyn or the DC swamp who 352 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: want to control him for red flag laws and forever wars, 353 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: those people are not in line with the voter of 354 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: the state of Texas. And in this case, you've been 355 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: able with your rector to push through that. Usually a 356 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: candidate can't. 357 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, it's interesting, and I agree with That's 358 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 10: why I ran because I realized I had name idea 359 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 10: that he didn't have, and I had accomplished enough that 360 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 10: I would have something to run on versus his non performance. 361 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 10: But it is infuriating to me that all this money 362 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 10: comes from the DC swamp and they want to control 363 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 10: through spending larget large sums of money, tens of millions 364 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 10: of dollars. They want to tell us and convince us 365 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 10: that John Cornyan is our guy, and it's just not true. 366 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 10: And it's infuriating. And I'm glad that voters know. 367 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: That Attorney General Ken Paxon, please hold us, hold with 368 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: us for a moment. I understand we have some breaking. 369 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 8: News regarding COVID that will be broken right here coming 370 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 8: up just a moment. 371 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 11: Timway Crown's Laedatorial Board endorsed John Cornyan and Dan Crenshaw 372 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 11: this week, writing the Trump certainly needs to hang on 373 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 11: to their remaining allies with black belts in legislating. 374 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. The safest time in the 375 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: state of Texas is so when the state legislature is 376 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: out of session. The safest time as an American is 377 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: when Congress is not meeting. This legislation they're engaged in 378 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: is the process of stealing your money, taking away your rights. 379 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: The people who are getting in there and rolling up 380 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: their sleeves and passing these laws and working so hard 381 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: they are hurting you, not helping you with the laws 382 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: they pass, including red flag laws. You want something done, 383 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: give it to a guy who's been kicked every way 384 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: from Sunday, an outlaw Josie Wells, who's had everything taken 385 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: from him. They've attempted to shame him and sold him, 386 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: dragging him through the courts, you name it, they've done 387 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: it all. When a guy can get back up from that, 388 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: there's your fighter. Pick your fighter. There's your fighter. We 389 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: have breaking news. The person involved does not even know 390 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: this breaking news, and we are delighted that it will 391 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: be broken. Here we have pulled out and dusted off 392 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: from the archive, from the attic. Actually something we don't 393 00:23:54,280 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: use very often. It's the breaking news center. I was 394 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: gould do that. Well, let me set it up properly. 395 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: And now on the Michael Berry Show, a very rare, 396 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: very rare occasion with the Attorney General the Great State 397 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: of Texas. Candidate for the United States Senate, Ken Paxon 398 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: is our guest. We have breaking news. All right, good sir, 399 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: I like that that little introduction. That nice. 400 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm glad I could enjoy that. So, yeah, we 401 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 10: are filing we're intervening in a Texas Medical Board case 402 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 10: against doctor about normally we would represent them. We are 403 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 10: not representing them. We're on the we're on the other 404 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 10: side trying to help her because we think she has 405 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 10: been unfairly treated during a particular case from COVID when 406 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 10: she was prescribing ivermectin. And there are complicated circumstances, but 407 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 10: we think she was being she being inappropriately targeted by 408 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 10: the Texas Medical Board. 409 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: Texas Medical board was inappropriate with Mary Tellybudon, and by 410 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: the way, worth noting that that same ivermactin is now 411 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: over the counter, but you can't get it because everybody's 412 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: using and it won a Nobel Prize for its founder. 413 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: It really is a wonder drug, but the pharmaceutical companies 414 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: can't get rich off of it, and that is why 415 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,959 Speaker 1: they didn't want people to have it. It's almost as 416 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: if they didn't want people to be able to be healed. 417 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: They just wanted to make money off the drugs. 418 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 10: I think that's absolutely right. And there was such a 419 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 10: hospital the doctors were all fighting it. It was crazy 420 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 10: that the medical community, which usually is you would think 421 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 10: would be out there fighting for our help, didn't do 422 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 10: that in this case. 423 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: I have some friends in the Trump administration in the 424 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: Health Department, working with and for Robert F. Kennedy Junior, 425 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: and I was told by them that Mary Tally Boden 426 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: was offered the Chief Medical Officer position of the Centers 427 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: for Disease Control the CDC, and that she turned it down. 428 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: So basically, she would be the modern day Fauci, but 429 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: a mother, a doctor, a healer, a person who cares, 430 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: an outspoken activist for patients rights. I hate that she 431 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: didn't do it, but I could understand if she made 432 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: that decision. She still has kids at home. But I 433 00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: think that's where we've come, isn't it. This is how 434 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: the has turned, that those who were spoken ill of 435 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: have turned out to be heroes and the faucis have 436 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: turned out to be monsters. 437 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 10: That's exactly right, and it's hard to believe that we 438 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 10: were all being convinced that these drugs that would heal 439 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 10: were bad for us and things that would kill us 440 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 10: were good for us. And much of the establishment medical 441 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 10: community was behind it and weren't asking the right questions, 442 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 10: did what they were told. And thankfully we had doctors 443 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 10: like doctor Baden who were at the courage to see 444 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 10: them say wait a minute, there are other options here 445 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 10: that are less expensive and that are more effective, that 446 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 10: can say you realized in this particular case. Unfortunately she 447 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 10: was so slowed down by it. This first responder, I think, 448 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 10: ended up passing away. So a lot of people died 449 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 10: that didn't have to, and our government and our medical 450 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 10: establishment is largely responsible. 451 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: She's one of my doctors, so I trust her with 452 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: my own life and that of my family, and she 453 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: was before all of this. But what she did during 454 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: that period of time speaking out on behalf of patients 455 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: with the Texas Medical Board coming after her on a 456 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: personal level, she spent millions of dollars. They tried to 457 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: destroy her career, They tried to destroy her reputation, you know, 458 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: on a personal level. You know, her kids were teased 459 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: over all of this, and the fact that she lived 460 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: through it. I see cases like that and I think 461 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: to myself, you know what that says to everybody else 462 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: when I say speak out? These are the consequences. It 463 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: is actually painful to watch. And now there's this this 464 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: victory lap for her, and she deserves it, she absolutely does. 465 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 10: And that's why we're coming to her side of the 466 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 10: equation because, you know, normally out of the responsible for 467 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 10: representing the Texas Medical Board, but we just couldn't do 468 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 10: it when we look at the fact that they never 469 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 10: looked at any medical evidence. They she wasn't afforded to 470 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 10: do process. She wouldn't even allow to show up at 471 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 10: the hearing where they adopted the public repommand and she 472 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 10: just was not treated fairly. She wasn't even aware of 473 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 10: this injunction that was supposedly this late injunction that suposedly 474 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 10: stopped her from from you know, issuing this prescription. And 475 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 10: yet the medical board is still what years later for 476 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 10: saying this, when there were so many doctors that did 477 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 10: so many bad things during COVID that got you know, 478 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 10: no one said anything, and no one, none of these 479 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 10: doctors got reprimanded for not actually doing the job of 480 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 10: taking care of their patients. 481 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: It's incredible. It's incredible. This entire medical systems, with massive, 482 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: multi billion dollar endowments and legal teams bigger than the 483 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: AG's office practically going after this one woman practice. You know, 484 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: it's incredible what they threw at her. I don't know 485 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: how she did it. I really don't. I really don't 486 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: know how she had the strength of character to continue 487 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: to do that. Ken Paxton, Attorney General the Great State 488 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: of Texas, running for the United States Senate, currently leading 489 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: the DC swamp is out to destroy him. But you 490 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: have actions that you have taken. Let's talk about some 491 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: of those. When Sharia law being implemented in Northern Texas 492 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: at Epic and beyond became an issue, you stepped in 493 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: and brought action. 494 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 10: What did you do so we suit epic for you know, 495 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 10: because we obviously believe in the First Amendment that people 496 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 10: are free to worship, that they're not free to have 497 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 10: their own laws, and they're not free to not follow 498 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 10: the Constitution. They're not free to not follow the settle 499 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 10: and state laws. So we sued them for violation of 500 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 10: state and federal securities laws. Were now also investigating a 501 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 10: huge development out in Coughton County that we want to 502 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 10: understand and make sure that they're following state laws. So look, 503 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 10: I think that's the key. You cannot have your own 504 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 10: settle laws, you cannot follow Sharia law, and you can't 505 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 10: ignore our state laws, whether it's related to marriage or 506 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 10: securities or whatever. You one of the country, you have to. 507 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: Follow a laws. It seems reasonable. Well, it doesn't seem 508 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: so revolutionary and so radical. And yet, you know, I've 509 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: said this multiple times. If they would stop getting in 510 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: the way of Kim Paxton, if people would just do 511 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: their jobs, Kim Paxton wouldn't look like a hero. He's 512 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: just doing what he's supposed to do. The whole point 513 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: is when no one else will do that, what did 514 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: Orwell say? When lying becomes the normal, telling the truth 515 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: becomes a revolutionary act. They make you look like the 516 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: greatest crusader since Richard the Lion Hearted. And really, er 517 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: Elle said, and really, all you're doing is what you're 518 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: supposed to do. It's just that's a rare thing today, 519 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: I know. 520 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 10: And it's crazy to me because it's to me, it's 521 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 10: just common sense. It's what my job entails and what 522 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 10: it requires. And people get upset about it and angry 523 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 10: that they were Actually, I'm actually. 524 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: Doing my job. They've made you into the outlaw Josie 525 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: Wales by coming after you in the most personal, nasty, 526 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: unfair way and now throwing all this money at you. 527 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: And here you are leading with voting starting on Tuesday. 528 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: We'll talk again before the election. Attorney General Ken Paxton, 529 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: candidate for the United States Senate to defeat John Cornyn. 530 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, Thank you,
