Speaker 2: Errington is from the Texas that a lot of people,

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: particularly Northerners, don't know. We fly into DFW. Maybe we've

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: got a wandering understanding of San Antoni and down to

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: the Mexican border, but the northern Texas of Abilene and

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: Delbert McClinton and Buddy Holly's Lubbock is just not talked about.

9

Speaker 2: Mister Errington is of the nineteenth district in the House

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: you so much for joining Bloomberg.

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: Well, what a beautiful introduction. My folks in the food,

13
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 3: fuel and fiber capital of the world would be would

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: be very pleased and proud by that introduction.

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: It is three hundred some miles down eighty three south

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: to Kerrville. There's people making that drive today. This flood

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: has turned the nation upside down. Give us an update,

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: sir well.

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: It's unimaginably heart wrenching for the families who've lost, especially

20
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: their children overnight. A wall of river that rows almost

21
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: thirty feet in less than an hour. That area is

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: prone to flash floods. We have a ranch about three

23
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: miles up the road from Camp Mystic, which is at

24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 3: the epicenter of this, but we've never seen anything like this.

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 3: I don't know how you could prepare for it. But

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: we're all praying for that community and those families. And

27
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: there's still folks missing, and I know the governor's committed to,

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: you know, not ceasing the search and rescue until everybody's found.

29
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: It's Atlanta States Rise, It's Atlanta less federal. You had

30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: a horrific winter storm. The s winter storms. Folks in

31
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: northern Texas are glacial. I mean they're they're like back

32
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: to the the ice Age. And the answer is, in

33
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty one, Loveock and Aveline was absolutely leveled and

34
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: you dialed one eight hundred FEMA to get assistance. Is

35
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: the FEMA of twenty twenty one the same as the

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: FEMA now?

37
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: Well, I hope it's much improved, but I'm not sure

38
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: that's the case. I think the President's right to push

39
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: that down at the state, local level, not necessarily the

40
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: resources we're taxed on it one way or the other.

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: I just think folks at the local and state level

42
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: are probably best to handle it.

43
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 4: So Congressman talked to us about this legislation that is

44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: a big success story for the Trumpet administration. I know

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 4: you had a big hand and it talked to us

46
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: about what this spending bill, of this tax bill, what

47
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 4: does it mean for this economy do you think going forward?

48
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 3: I think it's significant and it couldn't come at a

49
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 3: better time. I know there's some uncertainty with the tariff realignment.

50
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: I think that will work out in a very positive

51
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: way when we get these new deals and they we

52
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: have reciprocal trade relationships with folks, so I'm supportive of that.

53
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: In the meantime, we have supercharged the growth that we

54
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: saw from the first Trump tax cuts by making permanent,

55
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: for example, business expensing for R and D, capital interest expensing,

56
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: the pro growth provisions there. And then just tax relief

57
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: to working families, not just the marginal rates, but improving

58
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: the standard deduction and making it permanent. And then of

59
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: course there are several working working man provisions, tax on tips,

60
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: no tax on overtime. Families with children get a supercharge

61
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: of child deduction.

62
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: How does it impact maybe people in your district, some

63
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: a rural district for example. Does the folks in your

64
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: district are they here on Global Wallstery Here at bloomber

65
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: we talked tariffs all day every day. Did the people

66
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 4: in your district did they think about that or how

67
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: did they think about some of them issues that you're

68
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: trying to address in your bill and maybe the President's

69
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: trying to address with tariffs.

70
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: Well, on the bill, it's just more money in their

71
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: in their pockets, right, That's a good thing for them

72
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: and they recognize it. On the on the other piece,

73
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: you got ag and energy dominate.

74
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it.

75
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: Is the largest oil patch and cattle feeder system and

76
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: in the world. And so they understand unfair trade, they

77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: understand that it's not sustainable. And I think they're all

78
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 3: in to support this president getting to that even competitive

79
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: playing field.

80
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking for folks with this.

81
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: Judy Arrington here from Texas were thrillies with us in

82
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: nineteenth Congressional district of Northern Texas.

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: You know, I look at you. You slipped by in.

84
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: The last election, you win eighty percent of the vote.

85
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: I mean, they gotta do better next time. The President

86
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: took Texas with fifty six percent. I don't know what

87
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: you know off the top of your head what he

88
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: took in the nineteenth congressional little bit.

89
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're going to get him up there. Okay.

90
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: But the bottom line is, at least they had this

91
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: for Michael Barr. Today, student loans are going to affect

92
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: Texas Tech. They're gonna affect your Texas Tech. How do

93
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: you balance the Trump mantra of tear the federal government

94
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: apart with those eight hundred and forty two kids at

95
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: Texas Tech. They can't go there this fall. I'm making

96
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: it up, folks, they can't go there this fall because

97
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 2: of the student loan shifts he's proposing.

98
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 3: Well, I think the fact that we have all of

99
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 3: this student aid and not targeted necessarily the people who

100
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: need it, I think is an inflation area, has an

101
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: inflation effect on the cost of education. I'm a former

102
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: vice chancellor at Texas Tech. That's my alma mater.

103
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: And the larger they do with the walk on football players,

104
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: they give him like a fancy job.

105
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: What was it like when you walk down? I mean,

106
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes on the field, when you walked down,

107
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: I would never have a chance.

108
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: I couldn't even catch the balls that he throws today.

109
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: This was under the Spike Dyke's era, where just about

110
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: anybody in their body you could fog, a mirror could

111
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 3: walk on and and in fact, I didn't play football

112
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: in high school. And when the recruiter asked me when

113
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: we sat down right before my physical, he said, what

114
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 3: did you play in high school? I said tennis? And

115
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 3: he thought, old man, I want to see this question.

116
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys are chiefs, you know what.

117
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: Cowboys over the chiefs. But I'm a college football guy.

118
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: I'm not really interested. And we're losing that uniqueness in

119
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 3: college sports because of Aniela another conversation, I think we're destroyed.

120
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: Another D one powerhouse, Duke Cole.

121
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: One of the key topics and key issues for President

122
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 4: Trump and in his election was immigration. You come from

123
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 4: a state that is boy, that is right on the

124
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: front lines of immigration. How do the folks in your

125
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 4: district think about it? I mean a lot of these

126
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: folks that come over, they pick our agric culture, they

127
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 4: build our homes, they do all that kind of stuff.

128
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: They bust our tables.

129
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 4: How do people in your district think about it?

130
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: Well?

131
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: I think they appreciate the fact that we don't have

132
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: Americans that would do the jobs that are needed in

133
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: the fields, as you mentioned in agriculture. Probably the same

134
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: could be said in the in the oil patch. But

135
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: I think they first and foremost wanted security and from

136
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: a return to law and order from the chaos. It's

137
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: been devastating and I'm just there with law enforcement. I'm

138
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: telling you, the gangs, the drug activity exponential over the

139
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: last four years.

140
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: So in order to.

141
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: Have the conversation that we need to have about legal

142
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: immigration and making sure we have a win win situation

143
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: with people who want a better life and filling the

144
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: jobs that we need to produce the food, fuel, and.

145
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: Fiber, we had to do.

146
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: We needed a president with the will to do what

147
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 3: has been done by this president in terms of border security,

148
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: but there's more to be done on the legal side

149
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: so that we can continue to facilitate the economic.

150
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: Okay, including agriculture, which is a small matter from ablee.

151
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: To love it to cut to the chase.

152
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: Henrietta Tree's Beautiful Analyst was on earlier and says they're

153
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: almost hiding the president's langeductedness because Jody Arrington has to

154
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: get re elected in November of twenty twenty six.

155
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: What's your Republican.

156
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: Party in particularly the Texas delegation look like after President Trump?

157
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: Is this like a moment you guys shift back to

158
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: you know, hating Lynden Bans Johnson, or you know, what.

159
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: Does the framework look like after Trump?

160
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 3: I think President Trump's philosophy and focus on America First

161
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: is here to stay. I think it's here to stay

162
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: for all the right reasons, and I think it resonates

163
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: with all the Republican districts, certainly in Texas. I mean

164
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: it's a ruby red state, and so putting our ag

165
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 3: producers for in trade, putting our families first, in allowing

166
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: them to keep more of their money, putting the safety

167
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: of our families first. Again, we've been at ground zero

168
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: in this border crisis for several years now.

169
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: So I don't think it.

170
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: I think it remains the America First agenda into the future,

171
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 3: and I think that's a good thing, and I think

172
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: they will support that.

173
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: Does he understand H two A program and dairy farms.

174
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: I think he does. I think he does.

175
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: In fact, he's the one that led and did that

176
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 3: well in the first Trump administration. You'll recall he actually

177
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 3: pushed our party to a deal in fixing.

178
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: H two A.

179
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: It was called H two C.

180
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: It was a reform.

181
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: It was a much improved reform along with giving legal

182
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: status to Dhaka. He pushed our party outside of our comfort.

183
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: It failed ultimately because we didn't get a Democrat.

184
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: To support it.

185
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: We continue with Jody Arrington of the nineteenth Congressionalistic This

186
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: is Northern Texas. Paul did an all night or Friday

187
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: and Saturday. Did you watch all A land Man?

188
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: Oh?

189
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm all in.

190
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: I know everything you know about oil and gas When

191
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: you see Landman? Is it fiction? No?

192
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: I think he's pretty true to form, actually for better

193
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 3: for worse.

194
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 4: So it's funny when you think about Texas and energy.

195
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 4: Obviously you think about the oil and gas, but you

196
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: guys also have tons of wind farms and solar and

197
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: you kind of lead the nation all of those things.

198
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 4: So how does the folks out in your tentstry? How

199
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 4: did they think about, you know, fossil fuels versus you know,

200
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 4: alternative energy? I guess is the term? How did they

201
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 4: think about that?

202
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: I think most folks are for all the above. I

203
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: just think it's how you get there. Accelerating R and

204
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: D for example, where we accelerate the amortization, we make

205
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 3: that expensing immediate and permanent in this tax bill, as

206
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: long as it's technology neutral. I don't think they want

207
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: the government picking winners and losers. I think they see

208
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 3: the the good that could come of renewable resources in

209
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 3: the future. Obviously fossil is finite, but after the natural

210
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: gas shale revolution, we have an ocean of this great resource,

211
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: and so we don't want a distortion. We don't want

212
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: regressive inflationary energy policies. We want it even playing field.

213
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: But no one's averse to all the above, including renewable.

214
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 3: It's just how aggressive we've been a at accelerating with

215
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 3: tax benefits for renewable while b over the last four

216
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: years being hostile to our bread and butter, which has

217
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 3: put a lot of people on the defensive.

218
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: Question, how do you respond in the bill that Paul

219
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: mentioned that the huge benefit goes to the wealthy. Granted

220
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: the wealthy on a percentage basis or paying a lot

221
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: of taxes. How the middle class of Lubbock and Abolene

222
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 2: fair in this bill.

223
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 3: I think they believe and have experienced that the value

224
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: of the tax breaks that we extended from the first

225
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: Trump administration in seventeen are greater among the lower and

226
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: middle income folks than the upper up income, and in fact,

227
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: the top one percent pay a greater share.

228
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: And in fact, the top ten.

229
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 3: Percent of the income earners in the country paid seventy

230
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: percent of all the federal bills. Now they pay seventy

231
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: five percent.

232
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: You're in a Paul mentioned this earlier. You're in a house.

233
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: You guys are riding tall.

234
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: Maybe you lose House Senate president here over the next.

235
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: Two four years ago. What's your response to how the

236
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: Democrats have been so ineffective off of the election. You

237
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: barely won the House. We witnessed that, you barely won

238
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: the Senate. Good morning, Vice President Advance, we witnessed, we

239
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: witnessed that. I mean, are you surprised that the Democrats

240
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: can't get.

241
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: Their act together?

242
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: I am.

243
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm in the land of Anne Richards. I mean,

244
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: she was iconic. I am.

245
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 3: They are still wondering why.

246
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

247
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: I think they're so used to being against President Trump

248
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: and making demonizing him that that has become And then

249
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: you've got the left that has overpowered their party to

250
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: the point that it's going to be really difficult to

251
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: break free from their agenda that is disconnected from mainstream Americans.

252
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: Why are you in New York?

253
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: Well, I'm here to tell the good news, the gospel

254
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: of prosperity and security and opportunity that is going to

255
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 3: come when you get the right policies and set the

256
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: right conditions. We've done it, and I want people to

257
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: know that help is on the way.

258
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 2: If we do a remote from Abilene all we're the

259
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 2: Luke cass I love Texas.
