Their target 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 2: the small Israeli community of Sufa, home to around fifty families. 6 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 3: What people are starting to see, at least in the 7 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 3: occupation of Palestine is just an increasing crisis of humanitarian condition. 8 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 4: The shocking events of early on Saturday morning. You can 9 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 4: see people. 10 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: Dancing at the no the music festival with no inkling 11 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: of the horror that's about to unfold. 12 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 5: Two weeks ago or so, we celebrated or just it 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 5: took a moment I think in our country to remember 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 5: the Holocaust, and there's, you know, there's a kind of 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 5: a calming feeling. I always tell folks when I think 16 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 5: of the Holocaust and a tragy of Holocaust. 17 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 6: And while Israel's military is not releasing the clips because 18 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 6: they're so graphic, they allowed us to describe what we saw, 19 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 6: including a terrorist throwing a grenade into a bomb shelter 20 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 6: where an Israeli father is shielding his two young sons. 21 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 6: The blast kills the father and wounds the little boys. 22 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: One of them. 23 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 6: Howls, why am I alive and tells his brother, I 24 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 6: think we're going to die. A Hamas gunman stands over them, 25 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 6: drinking coke from their fridge. It's not clear what happens 26 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 6: to the boys. 27 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 7: You said that Israel hypnotized the world. You said Israel 28 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 7: is an apartheid regime, that politicians with pro Israel stancer 29 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 7: stances were all about the Benjamins, which you very notably 30 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 7: apologized for. That you support the BDS movement, which a 31 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 7: lot of people think is rooted in anti Semitism. 32 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 4: Compared the US and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban. 33 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 7: I want to give you a chance to respond to 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 7: all of that, which they say is a clear path. 35 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 36 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 8: I might have Nunis at the time that I didn't 37 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 8: understand word trafficking in antism equism. 38 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 4: October seventh. 39 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 9: A date that every Israeli will remember for the rest 40 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 9: of their lives. Those are date that's set off a 41 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 9: series of conflicts in the region that the United States 42 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 9: that has taken a lot a lot of energy and 43 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 9: resources from the United States. Whether one approves of those 44 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 9: or not. President Trump has brought to bear a great 45 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 9: deal of capital to bring that to an end. The 46 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 9: Canadian Prime Minister visiting the White House today. It's a 47 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 9: very very odd relationship with our second largest trading partner. 48 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 9: Donald Trump is not out to make friends. He's out 49 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 9: to make a difference. And in order to get other 50 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 9: people to do what you want, often at the expense 51 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 9: of their own popularity or pride in their own market, 52 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 9: you have to play hardball. And he is not afraid 53 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 9: to do that, and that is exactly what I want 54 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 9: to see from him. We have been talking yesterday on 55 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,119 Speaker 9: last Evening Show about the Senate race in the state 56 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 9: of Texas, and I made the point that what we're 57 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 9: seeing in Texas with the longtime senator, four term Senator 58 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 9: John Cornyn, who's a swamp rap, who has worked against Trump, 59 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 9: who last year called for the Republican Party to move 60 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 9: on past Trump and not have Trump as the nominee, 61 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 9: and now he's running for reelection on the Donald Trump 62 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,279 Speaker 9: and I we're the best of friends. And it's downright offensive. 63 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 9: And it's also a little bit scary because if enough 64 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 9: money can be poured into that ad, you worry, can 65 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 9: we get to every person and explain to every person 66 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 9: that this is all lies, because many people don't believe 67 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 9: that they could be lied to to this extent, to 68 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 9: this degree, certainly not from someone who is a supposed Republican, 69 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 9: and that's very frustrating. 70 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 4: So we're going to talk today about. 71 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 9: The Senate seat in Texas, but also how that relates 72 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 9: to other states. You've got a case in Louisiana where 73 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 9: you've got Bill Cassidy who is apparently, for all intents 74 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 9: and purposes, John Wayne mccornyn. We call John Cornyn John 75 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 9: Wayne mccornyn if you're new to the show, because every 76 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 9: six years, John Wayne mccornyn or John Cornyn transforms into 77 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 9: John Wayne mccornyn. 78 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 4: I'm just like you. I do things just like you. 79 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 4: I live near you, I walk my dog near you. 80 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 4: I grocerate the same place as you do. I'm just 81 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 4: like you. You see flag pin right here. 82 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 9: I love America everything you love, and I don't like 83 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 9: everything you don't like, and whatever that is, just let 84 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 9: me know and I'll tell you, because it's not true anyway. 85 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 9: And he transforms into the everyman, and we find that 86 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 9: to be very very offensive. On today's program, we will 87 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 9: talk for the next three segments with Wesley Hunt, who 88 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 9: is currently a United States Congressman representing the thirty eighth 89 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 9: Congressional district, which is on the north side of Houston, 90 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 9: a district that was arguably created for him. He has 91 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 9: been endorsed by Donald Trump in the past and has 92 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 9: a great relationship personal relationship with Trump, and he is 93 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 9: challenging the US Senator John Corny, who's up for reelection, 94 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 9: and the attorney general who also has a great relationship 95 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 9: with Donald Trump, and that is Ken Paxton, and Paxton 96 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 9: is perceived as a Trump in Texas as the attorney General. 97 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 9: This is a very interesting race, and a number of 98 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 9: people immediately perceived that Wesley Hunt jumping into the race 99 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 9: is hurt Ken Paxton and Paxton was the anti Cornyn, 100 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,119 Speaker 9: But in fact I don't think that's what's going to happen. 101 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 9: I think that Hunt is going to draw votes away 102 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 9: from the incumbent John Cornyn, and I think that will 103 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 9: eventually anew here to the benefit of Ken Paxton. But 104 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 9: we shall see. It's a six month election. Our primary 105 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 9: is March third in Texas. But a number of you 106 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 9: are going through cases like this where you've got an 107 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 9: incumbent who is serving as a Republican, but he's not 108 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 9: doing the job of representing you. He's voting to impeach Trump, which, 109 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 9: as I understand, I haven't checked yet. I'd understood that 110 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 9: Cassidy had voted to impeach Trump, I believe the second time. 111 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 9: I don't know that that's true, but a number of 112 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,119 Speaker 9: folks told me that it was. But with that in mind, 113 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 9: we have some fun with our John Wayne mccornyn ads 114 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 9: as he tries to be someone he's not. 115 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 4: And here's a new one. 116 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 10: John Wayne mccornyn one of us, just a regular guy. 117 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 10: He's not some DC elite that just rolls into Texas 118 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 10: to campaign. He'll know he's got a house in a 119 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 10: normal subdivision that he picks because that had good schools, 120 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 10: and that three bedroom, two bath house has a wreath 121 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 10: on its front door. 122 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 4: That says it's fall y'all just like you. 123 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 10: And John Wayne mccornyan is more than a husband and father. 124 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 10: He's also an uncle. He's the most unkly uncle ever. 125 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 10: When the nieces and nephews were little, they called him 126 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 10: Uncle thunder Fart because his three most famous words were 127 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 10: pull my finger and as they grew Uncle thunder Fart 128 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 10: turned into the cool uncle. 129 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 4: In high school. 130 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 10: Who do you think the nephews went to to buy 131 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 10: a case of Keystone Light?

It is the district that President Trump 176 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 13: would have one by twenty points, and I won by 177 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 13: twenty seven points. And the fine people of Houston put 178 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 13: me in office as a conservative because they are not 179 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 13: judging me, not by the color of my skin, by 180 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 13: the content of my character. And that is Texas, and 181 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 13: I want to bring Texas to DC, not the other 182 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 13: way around. We need strong conservative leadership that's willing to 183 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 13: stand by President Trump. And as the first person in 184 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 13: the country to endorse President Trump, I have stood by him. 185 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 13: I have campaigned with him. I have never waivered, I 186 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 13: have never faltered. And that is the kind of leadership 187 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 13: that I intend to bring when I'm red next. 188 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 4: Senator Conors Fan Wesley Hunt is our guest. 189 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 9: If I were upholster looking at this race and two 190 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 9: way race between the twenty four year four term US 191 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 9: Senator John Cornyn and the challenger, the Attorney General Ken Passion, 192 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 9: that was already going to be a battle. Let's say 193 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 9: hypothetically that race was fifty to fifty the day before 194 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 9: you got in. Who loses more, who spent a more 195 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 9: sleepless night last night in Passion or John Cornyn? 196 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 13: Well, given the reaction of of John Cornyn, given the 197 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 13: reaction of the DC swamp, given the reaction of. 198 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 12: The nrsc attacking me. 199 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 13: They clearly view me as an outsider, and they clearly 200 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 13: view me as somebody who was truly a conservative warrior 201 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 13: that is not going to bend to the will. 202 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 12: Of the swamp. 203 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 13: So obviously the corner camp is very upset because again 204 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 13: they called this for me a quote unquote vanity project. 205 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 13: They said that Westley Hunt is a legend in his 206 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 13: own mind, and this is somebody that spent time in 207 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 13: and a patche helicopter getting shot at for a living 208 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 13: for eight years. This is a West Point grad that's 209 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 13: wanting to defend this country and put his life on 210 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 13: the line. And they have the audacity to call this 211 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 13: a vanity project or to say. 212 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 12: That I am a legend in my own mind. 213 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 13: I'm in my early forties, I'm given the best years 214 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 13: of my life to this great nation. 215 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 12: This is not a vanity project. This is about. 216 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 13: Defending Texas, defending her values and actually getting a conservative 217 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 13: in the Hall of the Senate, and we have not 218 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 13: had that for twenty plus years. 219 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 4: I agree. 220 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 9: And a number of Paxton folks reach out yesterday and 221 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 9: they were angry with you that you were a cornyan 222 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 9: plant or in some way or another hurt Paxton, and 223 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 9: I said, I disagree with that. I think this is 224 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 9: bad news for John Cornyn. I think your entry into 225 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 9: the race. It's a long race six months. Minds will change, 226 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 9: votes will change. But I think this is a much 227 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 9: bigger blow to John Cornyan than it is for Ken Paxton. 228 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 4: Why run against the incumbent. 229 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 13: Because it's very, very simple. This is a man that 230 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 13: a couple of years ago said that it was time 231 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 13: to move on from President Trump. He didn't endorse President 232 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 13: Trump until after President Trump got shot, and at that 233 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 13: point it was in. 234 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 12: Vogue for him to do so. 235 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 13: I want you to know that I was the first 236 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 13: person in the country look it up to endorse President 237 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 13: Trump when he ran in this last round. John Cornyn 238 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 13: offered gun control legislation with car and already and was 239 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 13: praised by Joe Biden in the Rose Garden for his 240 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 13: efforts to restrict our Second Amendment rights. 241 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 12: That's absurd. 242 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 13: John Cornyn is responsible for saying that the border wall 243 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 13: is artane, that the border wall is basically stupid, and 244 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 13: that we don't need it. This guy has a fifty 245 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 13: four percent liberty score. Jux supposed to me and Senator 246 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 13: cruizes ninety nine percent liberty score. I'm one of the 247 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 13: most conservative congressmen in the entire state of Texas. And again, 248 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 13: this is where the party is. This is an America First, 249 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 13: Trump led party. I have been there from day one, 250 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 13: and those are the differences that you're going to see 251 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 13: between me and John Cornyn. 252 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 12: Look at the end of the day, this is about policy. 253 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 13: This is not about a blood feud between John Cornyn 254 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 13: and Ken Paxton. This is about giving the people of 255 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 13: Texas an alternative to vote for someone who is going 256 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 13: to put Texas first. I'm going to talk about the issues. 257 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 13: I'm going to talk about the border. I'm going to 258 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 13: talk about the importance of the oil and gas industry. 259 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 13: I'm going to talk about keeping you safe. I'm not 260 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 13: going to talk about people's personal lives. I want to 261 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 13: stick to the fact and stick to what Texans want 262 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 13: to see and they're representative. 263 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 12: Not a blood feud. That's exactly what this is about. 264 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 12: That's why I gotten this race. 265 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 9: Brother Congress from Wesley Hunt is our guest. There was rumors, 266 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 9: I don't know where they begin, that President Trump that 267 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 9: you had hoped President Trump would endorse you, that would 268 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 9: be the moment you entered the race. 269 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 4: Obviously there's no love loss. 270 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 9: Between him and John Wayne mccornyan, but he has supported 271 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 9: Ken Paxton in a big way in the past. 272 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 4: Do you think Donald Trump will endorse you in this race? 273 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 13: President Trump has supported Ken Paxton and myself keeping my 274 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 13: President Trump has endorsed has endorsed me the last three 275 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 13: times that I have run. 276 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 12: For a public office. And so again the. 277 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 13: President has chosen to stay out of this race for now. 278 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 13: He has not mad promises to me. I don't know 279 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 13: how that rumor started, and I understand that I'm relatively 280 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 13: close to the President. I had the opportunity to fly 281 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 13: with him on Air Force One a couple of months ago. 282 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 13: I campaigned all over the country with him. I went 283 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 13: to Iowa a leven times on his behalf, flew with 284 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 13: him to Chicago, to Nevada, to Coachella, to Pennsylvania on 285 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 13: the campaign trail. And it was my honor to do 286 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 13: just that to get what I see is probably the 287 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 13: greatest president that we have seen in my lifetime into office. 288 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 13: But again, we're not banking on President Trump's endorsement. No 289 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 13: one should be, because he hasn't endorsed anyone in this race. 290 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 13: Of course, we all want President Trump's endorsement because it 291 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 13: weighs very, very heavy in a race like this. But 292 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 13: let me tell you something, brother, I want to earn 293 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 13: his endorsement. I want to do the work. 294 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 12: And should he choose. 295 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 13: To endorse someone in this race, I want him to 296 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 13: pick the best person. And if he does not choose 297 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 13: to endorse someone in this race, I still want the Texas. 298 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 13: I still want the Texans to choose the best person 299 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 13: to represent them in the hall, in the halls. 300 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 12: Of the Senate. And I'll end with this. 301 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 13: The United States Senate is not a retirement community. This 302 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 13: is not a place where where this constitutional Republic goes 303 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 13: to die. This is a place that young men need 304 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 13: to step up right now for their country. Give your 305 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 13: best years to this country, to make this country a 306 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 13: better place for our children and our children's children. That's 307 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 13: what this is about. It's not about me being a 308 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 13: career politician. I've got a six, four and two year old. 309 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 13: It's time to understand that we cannot have these career 310 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 13: politicians that have sold us out for decades. 311 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 4: For just a moment. 312 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 9: Congressman Wesley Hunt is our guest we'll continue our conversation 313 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 9: with him coming up. Congressman Wesley Hunt entered the US 314 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 9: Senate race. 315 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 4: To represent Texas yesterday. 316 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 9: Challenging the incumbent John Cornyn and his top challenger Ken 317 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 9: Paston making this away race. Wesley Hunt, let's start with 318 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,719 Speaker 9: I don't know, six months ago or so, I started 319 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 9: seeing spots popping up that said, Wesley Hunt's a great guy, 320 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 9: he's a patriot, he's a congressman. 321 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 4: He fights for his country. 322 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 9: And I said, he's running for a statewide seat because 323 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 9: you don't spend that kind of money. I think the 324 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 9: estimate is six and a half million. You can tell 325 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 9: me Cornying, of course, spending four times that during the 326 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 9: same period of time, because he's got a lot of 327 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 9: DC money. What has been the result of that spend 328 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 9: across the state? You represent one thirty eighth of the state, 329 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 9: so it's a big state. You got a lot of 330 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 9: new hands to shake. 331 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 13: Of course, thank you for asking that. That's why we 332 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 13: started this project a while back ago, because we saw. 333 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 12: That that John Corner was in trouble. 334 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 13: He was losing mightily in this primary to return General Paxton, 335 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 13: and we realized that the biggest issue for United States 336 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 13: congressman or run state side is the state wide is 337 00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 13: the fact that you know, we don't have you big 338 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 13: with his name ID. 339 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 12: I have not been on a state wide ballot. 340 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 13: So we started raising money and started running ads throughout 341 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 13: the retirecity of Texas to get our name ID up. 342 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 13: And that's exactly what's made us very competitive in this race. 343 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 12: And I have the pulling to prove it. 344 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 13: I'm I'll also point out you're right, John Cornet has 345 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 13: spent over twenty million dollars. Over twenty million dollars, Michael, 346 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 13: twenty million dollars is nineteen million dollars more than one 347 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 13: million dollars. 348 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 12: That's a lot of scratch. 349 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 13: And you're spending that money a month before the filing 350 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 13: deadline in the summer. That's how you know that you're 351 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 13: in trouble. And guess what, you're still not winning the race. 352 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 13: This man should be in the sixties or seventies as 353 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 13: a twenty four year incumbent, but instead he is still 354 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 13: trailing impacts after spending twenty million dollars. We have spent 355 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 13: six million dollars a fraction of that over a very 356 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 13: long period of time, through a lot of hard work, grit, 357 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 13: determination to get our name ID to where it is, 358 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 13: to make us competitive, and imagine if you continue that 359 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 13: work moving forward. And that's why I say this is 360 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 13: the young man's game. You have to work for this, 361 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 13: you have. 362 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 12: To earn it. 363 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 13: You have to get up every single day and work 364 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 13: your tail off. You have to have grit and tenacity, 365 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 13: and that's how we got here in the first place. 366 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 13: I don't want it to be given to us. I 367 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 13: don't want. 368 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 12: DC to pick Texas leadership. 369 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 13: I want the people of Texas to pick Texas leadership. 370 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 12: Come and take it. Is one of my mottos. Don't 371 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 12: mess with Texas, that's my second motto. 372 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 13: And right now DC is trying to mess with Texas 373 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 13: by pushing Don Cornyan and shoehorning him into this role. 374 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 13: And what I have seen, the people of Texas don't 375 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 13: want it, and this is why we are giving them 376 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 13: another option. 377 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 9: Twenty twenty, you ran against Lizzie Fletcher in the old 378 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 9: seventh congressional district that George H. W. Bush once held, 379 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 9: and then of course Archer and then Culberson in a 380 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 9: close race. 381 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 4: You lost. 382 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 9: People feel the thirty eighth Congressional district was created for you. 383 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 9: They were folks that really wanted to send you to 384 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 9: Congress the newest district. 385 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 4: You won that handily. 386 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 9: One of the questions you'll get on the stump, and 387 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 9: you know it, is why leave a safe seat that 388 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 9: then has to be picked up by somebody else to 389 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 9: enter this race? 390 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 4: Why not season a while? Why not build some time? 391 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 12: Michael? 392 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 13: The time is now for young leadership to step up 393 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 13: and brother, as you know. 394 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 12: Scared money, don't make no money. 395 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 13: Our current vice president is forty one years old. Our 396 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 13: secretary of State is in his early fifties. Our secretary 397 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 13: of War is forty five years old. He in mind, 398 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 13: our founding fathers were in their twenties and thirties when 399 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 13: they changed the entiroscope of this whole world by creating 400 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 13: this great nation. The idea is not being complacent. The 401 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 13: idea is moving. When you are called by God and 402 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 13: the people of Texas to do the right thing. Am 403 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 13: I taking a risk? Of course, I'm taking a risk. 404 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 13: Life is about taking a risk. 405 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 12: I tell you what. 406 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 13: When I'm founding fathers founded this country, they took a 407 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 13: massive risk, even if it took their lives in order 408 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 13: to create this constitutional republic. So again, this is not 409 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 13: about what's convenient for me. It would be very easy 410 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 13: for me to sit here and run and be a 411 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 13: slow preacher for the next ten twenty thirty years in 412 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 13: this seat. But my job is not to stay here forever. 413 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 13: My job is to term it to myself, stow up 414 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 13: through the best I can, and then leave this place 415 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 13: better I better than I found it, and then hand 416 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 13: it off to the next person. 417 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 12: Brother, I'm a Wwe god. Growing up, I. 418 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 13: Used to love stone Cold Steve Austin, and he had 419 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 13: a shirt that said stow up, raintel leave. That has 420 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 13: got to be our mandate in order to save this republic. 421 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 13: So again, this is not about me being inconvenient. This 422 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 13: is not about me sitting back and making the easy play. 423 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 13: This is about giving the people of Texas the best 424 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 13: often to represent them, to continue to carry the America 425 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 13: First banner, not just for the next six years, but 426 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 13: the ones after this. And by the way, if John 427 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 13: Corner were to get re elected, I understand he's taking 428 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 13: pictures in front of Trump Burger and find his best 429 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,239 Speaker 13: and cozy up to the president. But at the end 430 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 13: of the day, if you were to get re elected, 431 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 13: he would then after President Trump is gone. We revert 432 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 13: right back to that fifty four percent liberty score, and 433 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 13: we can't have that in Texas. 434 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 9: Should I take it personally? You went on Will Kane's 435 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 9: show last night before mine. 436 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 12: Absolutely not. 437 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 13: And I want everybody to listen to something you talk 438 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 13: about that Lizzie Fletcher race. I want every listener to 439 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 13: understand this. Michael Barry is the first person that called 440 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 13: me after that race and got me up, and you 441 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,719 Speaker 13: treated me to a burger and a beer. And you 442 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 13: are a large part of the reason why I'm here 443 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 13: today because you said there's going to be an opportunity 444 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 13: for you in the future. Don't get down, stay in 445 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 13: the fight. So of course you can't be offended. I 446 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 13: happen to be in Dallas, Michael and I have a day. 447 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 12: You know I love you. You know I love you. 448 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 9: This is a big state. It's hard to campaign statewide. 449 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 9: You're the only of the three who has not had 450 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 9: to be on the ballot. You've only been an elected 451 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 9: office for four years. I think that Bill Maher. I 452 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 9: think probably nothing did more or your platform building than 453 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 9: the Bill Maher appearance. Oddly enough, but that made its 454 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 9: way around. 455 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 4: It was viral. 456 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 9: I think it came off very strong. What do you 457 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 9: estimate the budget of what you have to raise statewide 458 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 9: to win this race? Because it is tough to run 459 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 9: statewide in Texas. 460 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 13: You know, we have an idea what that number is. 461 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 13: But my answer toute to your question is, Michael, whatever 462 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 13: it takes, whatever it takes, we have a number, We 463 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 13: have an idea. If it takes less than that, great, 464 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 13: If it takes more than that, we're going to accomplish 465 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 13: the goal. We're going to accomplish the mission. I view 466 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 13: this as a deployment, and I'm somebody that's been deployed. 467 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 13: I've been shot at fifty five their emissions in Apache. 468 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 13: If I can do that, the least I could do 469 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 13: is travel statewide and work my tail off to earn 470 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 13: not given, to earn the vote of my fellow Texas 471 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 13: to represent them. 472 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 12: In fact, this is going to be a fun ride. 473 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 13: I cannot wait to travel my great stake and to 474 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 13: make this pitch to those people that really want to 475 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 13: see a young freedom fighter, regardless of your race, religion, 476 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 13: color of creed, a combat veteran and America First patriot. 477 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 13: A conservative soubiety that actually believes in the values that 478 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 13: Texas has been founded on and what we must continue 479 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 13: for the future. Again, this is the state of Named 480 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 13: Bowie and David Krock and Sam Houston. We need dudes 481 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 13: like that, and so whatever it takes for us to get. 482 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 12: This job done, We're going to do it. 483 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 9: Carsman Wesley Hunt is our guest.

Let's talk about. 497 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 9: Areas where you and John Cornyan, the current incumbent, are 498 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 9: different because at the end of the day, nothing else matters. 499 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 9: What would it look like, how would it be different 500 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 9: if you were the United States Senator from Texas instead 501 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 9: of John Cornyn. 502 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 13: Well, well, the first is the legislation that I would 503 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 13: pass is to repeal the gun legislation that he wrote 504 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 13: with Colin all Right, as I said earlier that he 505 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 13: was praised for by Joe Biden and the Rose Garden 506 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 13: a couple of years ago. Again, that Second Amendment, our 507 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 13: first and second Amendment rights specifically a second member rights 508 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 13: shall not be infringed. And as you a senator, I 509 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 13: will repeal that immediately. 510 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 12: I'll also tell you. 511 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 13: This, Like I said, I was the first person in 512 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 13: the country to endorse President Trump during this last run. 513 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 13: And John Corny sat on the sideline and actually at 514 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 13: a rally watched me speak before the president while he 515 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 13: sat in the front row in the battle. Because I 516 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 13: was very supportive of him from day one. We have 517 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 13: not seen that from John Cornyn. I'll also say this, 518 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 13: my liberty score will not be fifty four percent. And 519 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 13: you could talk about but what President Trump nine to 520 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 13: nine percent of the time all you want. It's not 521 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 13: about what President Trump is around, because I know you're 522 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 13: scared of him and you're going to do whatever he 523 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 13: tells you to do. 524 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 12: This is need a support At this point. 525 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 13: I am talking about what are you going to do 526 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 13: when President Trump is no longer the president in two years, 527 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 13: are you going to cowtow to the left and to 528 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 13: the swamp or are you going to continue to represent 529 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 13: Texas as Senator Cruz has done for the past decade 530 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 13: or so. So again, this is going to be very 531 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 13: start differences in the way that we approach this. And 532 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 13: again I told this before, brother, the United States Senate 533 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 13: is not a retirement community. By the time I get 534 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 13: to his age, I am going to be taking care 535 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,479 Speaker 13: of my grandchildren and I'm want to leave this behind 536 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 13: for somebody else. That's what Texans want. That's what I 537 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 13: hear on the trail. That is the reason why I 538 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 13: got in this race. 539 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:41,959 Speaker 9: You know, it's frightening to think we have a Republican 540 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 9: majority and we're needing jd Vance to break ties because 541 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 9: McConnell goes from being the majority leader to out of 542 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 9: power and voting with the Democrats. You've got Murkowski and 543 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 9: Collins who are now reliably Democrat, meaning that the President's 544 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 9: having a very difficult time passing his judge uh his 545 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 9: agenda for which he has a big, big mandate, And 546 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 9: I think most Americans find that very frustrating. 547 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 13: And it will be even more frustrated because if it 548 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 13: was not an election year, John Cordon would be voting. 549 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 12: Right with him. And this is what President Trump has 550 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 12: truth about this guy for years. He has not been 551 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 12: with the America First agenda. Ever, the only reason why 552 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 12: it's not Tillis and Murkowski. 553 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 13: And McConnell and Connell and Corton because he's been with 554 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 13: them for the past few decades, is because he's realized 555 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 13: he has a problem in this primary. And then now 556 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 13: he has to cot house and cosplay as if he 557 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 13: is a model warrior. 558 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 12: But we all know better. 559 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 13: And thank god for the social media era, and thank 560 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 13: god for people like you. And the picture that you 561 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 13: posted yesterday of me Ken Patson and running against John 562 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 13: McCain could not have been more perfect. You nailed it, brother, 563 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 13: you nailed it. And that is exactly where its representative 564 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 13: of this primary voter. 565 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 12: I do not want. 566 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 13: Jd Vance to be the tie breaking vote over the 567 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 13: course of the next few years in the second half 568 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 13: of President Trump's presidency. I want him to be able 569 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 13: to operate autonomously. 570 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 12: And know that he has the back of the Senate. 571 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 13: We're going to continue to keep the House, We're going 572 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 13: to have the presidency and then God willingly elect jd 573 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 13: Vance have another four year run. That's the whole point 574 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 13: of this construct. And let me tell you some brother, 575 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 13: you are not going to have to worry about my 576 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 13: vote aligning with the value of Texas. 577 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 4: Carson Wesley Hunt. 578 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 9: Obviously, when you enter a race, as I said, folks 579 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 9: may have already been with John Corny's been around for 580 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 9: twenty four years. They're going to ask you questions. I've 581 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 9: tried to lay those questions out. I'm going to give 582 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 9: you all the time you want for the rest of 583 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 9: this segment to answer any question that might be lingering. 584 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 9: I think it's better to address those upfront because you 585 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 9: don't always get a chance to do that, and whisper 586 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 9: campaigns can be a rough thing. So I'm going to 587 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 9: give you the remaining three and a half minutes to 588 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,239 Speaker 9: say whatever you'd like to say to address folks in 589 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 9: This will be the first the last conversation we have 590 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 9: before the election. But as you introduce yourself to some 591 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 9: and remind others who you are and why you're running, 592 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 9: it is yours. 593 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 4: Take it away. 594 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 13: One thing that I've watched it I've heard John Corny 595 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 13: attacking me on is miss votes in my voting record, 596 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 13: and I kind of want to explain that I've missed 597 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 13: some votes because when I first got into office, if 598 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 13: you recall, my little boy was in the nick you 599 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 13: when he was born. During my first year, when I 600 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 13: was in Congress, I was flying back and forth for 601 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 13: the first for the for the first few months, and. 602 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 12: Thank god, he had made it. He made it, and 603 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 12: he is striving and doing well. Last year, the last 604 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 12: two years. 605 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 13: Actually, I've traveled a lot with the president to ensure. 606 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 12: That we got him elected. Uh, and so I missed 607 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 12: some votes because. 608 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,719 Speaker 13: Of that as well, campaigning with the president. 609 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 12: It's something that I am very proud of. 610 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 13: But again, I think the people of Texas and the 611 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 13: primary voter is less concerned with the votes that I 612 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 13: missed and more concerned with the votes that I have taken. 613 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 13: John Cornyn has not seen a Ukrainian bill that he 614 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 13: didn't love. I have never voted to support more Ukraine aid. 615 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 13: I have back to president again from day one. Again, 616 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 13: My liberty store is ninety nine percent. These are the 617 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 13: kinds of issues that the people want to hear and 618 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 13: that they want to see. It ain't about miss votes. 619 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,719 Speaker 13: It's about the votes that should take and so they 620 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 13: can attack me on that all day. I'm ready lease 621 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 13: bring it on. But again, the whole point is putting 622 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 13: the values of Texas first. I said in the beginning, 623 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 13: and I'll tell you again, this race is not about 624 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 13: a blood feud between Ken Paxton and John Corny. This 625 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 13: race is about the people of Texas and understanding what 626 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 13: our priorities are and having good, strong conservative leadership in 627 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 13: a state the President Trump just won last year by 628 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 13: over fifteen points. That is exactly what we want to see. 629 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 13: We want to see a Trump plus fifteen type of 630 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 13: leader and the halls of the Senate and that ain't 631 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 13: John Corny. 632 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 9: Well, I will say this, thank you for making yourself available, 633 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 9: thanks for answering our questions. I will say this that 634 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 9: John Cornyn sitting on a pile of cash. He's sitting 635 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 9: on some big resources from the DC swamp. He's got 636 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 9: twenty four years to have built his name. It's hard 637 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 9: to dislodge an incumbent. I think our state and our 638 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 9: country needs that. I hope that you will keep your 639 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 9: artillery very very carefully aimed at the primary charge, which 640 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,479 Speaker 9: is getting him out of office before the other of 641 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 9: you two battle and that seems to be the case 642 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 9: with your entry. It's Cornyn who's come out very very 643 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 9: ugly against you, which means that he is very scared. 644 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 9: Wesley Hunt, thank you, my man, appreciate you. 645 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 12: Thank you. Brother. God bless you, Michael, thank you, have 646 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 12: a great day. Brother. Thank you.
