1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,159
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 2: Time, luck and load.

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: So Michael darry Show is on the air.

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 3: Sweet, how sweet the sound?

5
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 4: But say the range Lord, I was lost.

6
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: Wood, no.

7
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: Fall was blood.

8
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 3: I see towards gray lot.

9
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 4: To my home two feet and gray small fee.

10
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: Free shall sty.

11
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 4: But gray salt.

12
00:01:40,240 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: My fely just tay sad.

13
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 5: The opening of Notre Dame, where once in future President

14
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 5: Donald Trump was welcomed on the world stage again, that

15
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 5: beautiful rendition of amazing grace absolutely echoed around the world.

16
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 5: What a beautiful, beautiful thing. I want you to go

17
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 5: back in your mind. Many of you will remember Barack

18
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 5: Obama was elected in November of eight, takes office in

19
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 5: January of nine. Obamacare, the control of our healthcare system

20
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 5: and control of our industry were the two goals. They

21
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 5: were going to do that with the carbon tax and Obamacare,

22
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 5: and the thought was Obamacare would be easy, the carbon

23
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 5: tax would be harder, so they would start with Obamacare.

24
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 5: When they started, they had a majority of Americans under

25
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 5: the belief that everybody deserves health care and government will

26
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 5: fix it. And basically, whatever you didn't like about your

27
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 5: health care system, they were going to fix it, because

28
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 5: that's what the government does, isn't it government make sure

29
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: everybody has enough of everything and everybody's happy. Well, they

30
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 5: ran into a snag, and by early twenty ten, a

31
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 5: year into it, they realized, we've got to pass this

32
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 5: thing and put it behind us, because it's turned out

33
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 5: to be very unpopular and we don't want the Republicans

34
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 5: in November of twenty ten to be campaigning against Obamacare.

35
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 5: So we've got to get it passed. And by the way,

36
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 5: we won't have it go into a fact. Nobody will

37
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 5: know how bad it is, won't have it to go

38
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 5: into a fact for years into the future. But we've

39
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 5: got to get this thing done.

40
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: Well.

41
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 5: During all of this, the Republicans had a majority in

42
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 5: the House, and we had a guy who was perpetually

43
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 5: drunk and he would cry all the time named John Baynor,

44
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 5: who was the Speaker of the House. And Americans were

45
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 5: demanding we did not want Obamacare. Fight it with everything

46
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 5: you've got, defeat it. And John Bayner, the Republican Speaker

47
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 5: of the House, the House was supposed to be the

48
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 5: bulwark against there was supposed to be the last ditch effort.

49
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 5: We weren't going to let the Democrats win this thing.

50
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 5: John McCain ended up saying, well, you know Obama has

51
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 5: a mandate, he gets his Obamacare. Well, what are you

52
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 5: there for? And then the White House leaked a voicemail

53
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: that had been left and it was John Bayinner's chief

54
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 5: of staff, and the voicemail had said, we're going to

55
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 5: come to the White House. We're going to work out

56
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: these last few details. And the details were they would

57
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 5: allow Obamacare to pass, they just didn't want it to

58
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 5: apply to congressional staffs. So, in other words, our voters

59
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 5: back home, we'll let you put obamacall on them. We

60
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 5: just don't want it for ourselves because it's that bad.

61
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 5: He left that on the voicemail, and the voicemail said,

62
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 5: we're coming over to negotiate the last round. We just

63
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 5: don't want Obamacare to apply to us. But if the

64
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 5: press sees us coming in, then tell them that we're

65
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 5: arguing over something else. And he made up something that

66
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 5: people back home goes, look at them there, they're just

67
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 5: fighting for us. And it was a bit of a

68
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 5: betrayal by the Obama white House. But what they were

69
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 5: doing was showing Republicans back home, your people have sold

70
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 5: you out. They don't care about you. They're not actually

71
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 5: fighting for you. It's a devastating blow to congressional Republicans.

72
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 5: And it was like that scene in Braveheart that I

73
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 5: am so fond of. You remember the scene. I'll discuss

74
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 5: it in the moment. I only know two scenes from Well,

75
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 5: that's true. But the reason I bring that up is

76
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 5: that that is what has happened. While many of you

77
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 5: were watching the SEC Championship on Saturday afternoon, the Republicans

78
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 5: in the State House were gathered in Austin. There are

79
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty state representatives. You have managed to

80
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 5: give Republicans an eighty eight to sixty two majority, so

81
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 5: we could very easily pick the Speaker of the House.

82
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 5: That's how it's supposed to work. You've also given Republicans

83
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 5: a majority in the Senate, every state wide seat, and

84
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 5: the governor's office. We should be able to secure the border,

85
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 5: we should be able to be business friendly, we should

86
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 5: be able to do the things we need to do

87
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 5: in this state. But the same forces behind drunk Date

88
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 5: we've managed to kick drunk Date out. He won't be

89
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 5: the next speaker. Those forces have now teamed with Democrats,

90
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 5: so that the sixty two Democrats and then to get

91
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 5: to seventy six, all they need is fourteen more. When

92
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 5: you hear this story of betrayal, this is.

93
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: I do know.

94
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 5: You say, Michael, buddy, you work so hard to get

95
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 5: the government. You want what.

96
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: They do beside in your face all the time.

97
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 5: They want to take your place, the facistas bestaders to

98
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 5: decide in your face all the time.

99
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: You want to take your place, the fakistan us, all.

100
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 4: Your famos who had some bon and do any care.

101
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: Then it's all the mall.

102
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 4: Has better Beware.

103
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 3: Somebody is out to get your lady at the man

104
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: his days show up shading hands alone.

105
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: Let's tart and up.

106
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 5: You've got eighty eight Republicans in the House. Democrats have

107
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 5: got sixty two. The Speaker of the House drunk Dade

108
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 5: Feelin because he divided the House trying to impeach Ken Paxton,

109
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 5: which was grinding an axe against Ken Paxton. That some

110
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: business groups that support him and tell him what to

111
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 5: do have always they hate Ken Paxton. Fine whatever, but

112
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 5: they're willing to destroy the party over this. It's exactly

113
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 5: what's going on in DC. Think John Cornyn, Think Jony Ernst.

114
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 5: These people working behind the scenes to defeat Donald Trump's

115
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 5: agenda when it is Trump's supporters who are voting for them. Somebody,

116
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 5: somebody asked me, how come these state reps do this?

117
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 5: Why don't they just switch to being Democrats. Know, that's

118
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 5: not how it works. The people of Lubbock, where Dustin

119
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 5: Burrows runs, they want a solid conservative Republican. Then once

120
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 5: he gets in there, he cuts little backroom deals against

121
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 5: the very interest of his own district. And what they're

122
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 5: counting on, which has typically been the case, is that

123
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 5: you're too busy watching the ut football game, you're back

124
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 5: to work, you won't know what's going on, what goes

125
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 5: with the little game. This is what John Cornyn and

126
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 5: Mitch McConnell are masters of. They're counting on you not

127
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 5: understanding what happened. And the best part is now they've

128
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 5: started to come out, coming out and say on the

129
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 5: other side, which is the side we voted for conservative values,

130
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 5: is owned by billionaires. If you looked the people who

131
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 5: were cutting this deal behind the scenes, the people who

132
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 5: support them, it is a who's two of the Nicki

133
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 5: Haley list that when the Republican primary happened, here we're

134
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 5: raising money for Nicki Haley. It is the same group

135
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 5: of people to a t same exact group of people.

136
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 5: Because the Democrats have got their sixty two votes locked up,

137
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 5: all they got to do is get fourteen Republicans to

138
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 5: peel away and join them. So now you've got the

139
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 5: minority party controlling the Republican party. This was sort of

140
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 5: how Saddam Hussein governed Iraq from a very small minority

141
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 5: of people. So the vast majority of the people of Iraq,

142
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 5: we're not being governed by their own kind because of

143
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 5: the way that Saddam had put together his coalition and

144
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 5: held on to the power, and that's why there was

145
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 5: such a fierce, ferocious backlash when they got a chance

146
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 5: to topple him. What we're seeing is Republicans, a few

147
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 5: of them who are in the back pocket of some

148
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 5: business interests who don't want the grassroots to have our way.

149
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 5: This is the lobby all over again. Texas Medical Association.

150
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 5: These are the people who are scared to death that

151
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 5: you will rise up and say, we'll decide if we

152
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 5: take a vaccine, we'll make decisions.

153
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: These are the.

154
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 5: People that have had the run of government for a

155
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 5: long time, and they have deep pockets and they have

156
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 5: bought and paid for Lacey Hull, Sam Harless. This is

157
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 5: the group of people, and I'll tell you this, there's

158
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 5: a few of them that are voting our way, that

159
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 5: are huddling with the other side. But they're scared to death.

160
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 5: They're more scared of you right now than they are

161
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 5: the other side. And it's creating quite the They are

162
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 5: not true to their hearts. So Dustin Burrows was the

163
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 5: number two for drunk Day. Remember drunk Day lost his

164
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 5: Republican primary going into the runoff. There hadn't been three candidates,

165
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 5: there were two. He would have lost, but there were

166
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 5: two candidates who challenged him, and the vast majority of

167
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 5: people didn't want him there. But the vote was split.

168
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 5: David Covey, who ran against him, got forty nine I

169
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 5: think forty nine point five forty nine point seven percent,

170
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 5: couldn't quite get to fifty point one. So then there's

171
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 5: a runoff. What'd they do. They held a bunch of

172
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 5: fundraisers in Austin, not in Orange Jefferson, in Jasper County

173
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 5: to send daid back, and all the lobbyists poured their

174
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 5: cash into it, millions and millions and millions.

175
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: Of dollars.

176
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 5: And how did he win. He had over one thousand

177
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 5: Democrats show up who've never voted in the Republican primary.

178
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 5: They showed up in a state rep Republican primary. There

179
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 5: was no Trump on the bottles and nothing else. They

180
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: got all these Democrats to go and vote, and he

181
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 5: wins by four hundred votes. Went over one thousand Democrats voted.

182
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 5: He could not win his own district with Republican voters. Well,

183
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 5: his number two was a guy named Dustin Burroughs. So

184
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 5: drunk Day realized he can't be the speaker again, so

185
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 5: he steps down. Let's go back and see who Dustin

186
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 5: Burroughs is. In twenty seventeen, he actually wrote the rule

187
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 5: that said the speaker, when we have the majority of

188
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 5: the House, the speaker should be chosen by the majority

189
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 5: of the majority party. The Democrats were going to keep

190
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 5: the Democrats from doing this. This was him in twosy seventeen.

191
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 6: One of the things I don't want to be in

192
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 6: a situation, you know, a year from now, where a

193
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 6: member of the Republican Caucus comes in and says, guys,

194
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 6: guess what, I've got fifty five Democrats who have made

195
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 6: a deal with me to put me in the chair.

196
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 6: And by the way, you're gonna have to vote to

197
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 6: repeal sanctuary cities. You're gonna have to be against life.

198
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 6: You're gonna do these things if you want to be

199
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 6: on the team. You know, And I've got the other

200
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 6: twenty Republicans that are gonna vote with me. I'm gonna

201
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 6: say bye buck. They said, Hey, the Hides and Carcass

202
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 6: Committee I just formed. It's gonna be one member bigger

203
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 6: and have to deal with that. I think we should

204
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 6: take control of it as a caucus. I think it'll

205
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 6: be a unifying thing. I think it's a good thing.

206
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 6: I think the majority of Republicans will end up getting

207
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 6: behind this, and we'll find out December first. If two

208
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 6: thirds don't support this, it goes why.

209
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: But if they do support it, then you're going to

210
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: march out of that room with one candidate.

211
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 5: You're gonna put that person up for Speaker and there

212
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 5: are going to be no strays. Well, he's doing the

213
00:16:52,480 --> 00:17:01,239
Speaker 5: absolute obvious opposite of that today, and full of Republicans

214
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 5: are about to hand your party over to the Democrats.

215
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 5: Mind you, the majority of the supporters of the next speaker,

216
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 5: if it's Dustin Burroughs will have been the Democrat Party,

217
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 5: and they're trying very hard to keep this looking like

218
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 5: that's not what's going on. But they can't get enough

219
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 5: Republicans to do it. Out of eighty eight Republicans, they're

220
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 5: going to have a dozen or two.

221
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: Now.

222
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 5: In the past, what they would do is once they

223
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 5: had the win, then a lot of Republicans would go

224
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 5: over and vote with them, so it would look like, oh,

225
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 5: it's a vast majority of Republicans. It is all a

226
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 5: sham in Lubbock. It's Dustin Burroughs. That's the one run

227
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 5: in this whole thing with his outside money from his

228
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 5: business interests. But I'll tell you who in this area

229
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 5: if you want to know who the people are. Lacey

230
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 5: Hall from Katie, Will met Calf from Conroe, Greg Vonnon

231
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 5: from League City, Sam Harlest from Spring. There's your traders there.

232
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 5: They are Lacy Hull, Will met Calf, Sam Harlest.

233
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: Very Frigame, Greg Vondy the Michael Barry Show.

234
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 5: Many times in the United States, Senate John Cornyn has

235
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 5: been Mitch McConnell's man. What they will do on a

236
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 5: bill that you want, or let's say a bill that

237
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 5: you're opposing, that Democrats are pushing is they could prevent

238
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 5: using cloture that bill from ever being voted on. But

239
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 5: what the Republicans will do that are part of leadership

240
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 5: John Cornyn at Mitch mcconn's direction is they will vote

241
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 5: to end the cloture, which means bring the bill onto

242
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 5: the Senate floor, but you don't notice that vote. Then

243
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 5: once they get there, these same Republicans will vote against it,

244
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 5: and then it'll be a fifty to fifty tie. Kamala

245
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 5: Harris comes in more than any vice president in American history.

246
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 5: She has broken more ties to give the Democrats the win.

247
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 5: The way to beat that bill was to prevent it

248
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 5: from coming to a vote because you had the votes

249
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 5: to do that. But they know that that won't be covered.

250
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 5: You see, these are very procedural things that are done

251
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 5: behind the scenes. And that's what John Cornyn has done

252
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 5: again and again and again. And that's why there is

253
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 5: the divide between the grassroots who despise John Cornyn and

254
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 5: everybody else who says, why are we so mad at him?

255
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 5: It's very hard to understand what he does. It is

256
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 5: complicated by design. That is exactly what's going on. If

257
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 5: you want to know who one of the good guys is.

258
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 5: Steve Toath from the Woodlands, constitutional conservative. Poor bastard goes

259
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 5: up to Austin every session knowing he'll never be on

260
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 5: the inside track, in the same way that Ted Cruz

261
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 5: would never be in a leadership position in the Senate,

262
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 5: in the same way that they'll never let Donald Trump

263
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 5: in the inside circle. They don't want the people who

264
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 5: are willing the same reasons that they don't want Pete

265
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 5: hegg Set to be the Secretary of Defense or Cash

266
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 5: Mattel to to lead the FBI. It's the same mindset.

267
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 5: They do not want people who don't play ball with

268
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 5: the lobby, with the establishment, the Lindsey Grahams run things,

269
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 5: and that's the reality. Mitch Little was elected to the

270
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 5: State House this past election, and he has been involved

271
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 5: in all of this. He's a new state representative. Mitch,

272
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 5: your thoughts after what happened over the weekend.

273
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, good mornings are welcome to the Texas House of Representatives.

274
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: Huh so, I really my first official act as a

275
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: representative elect was to participate in the House Republican Caucus.

276
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: We go in there and after two rounds of voting,

277
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: thirty one of my colleagues, many of whom have still

278
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: never spoken to me, literally never have haven't talked to me,

279
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: I haven't called, then't texted whatever. They stand up and

280
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: walk out of the meeting. So you just spoke coming

281
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 2: out of the break about process and procedure and how

282
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: important those things are. Well, they all the process and

283
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 2: procedure is important until it is since and it's it's

284
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: for the uniparty. And by the way, this term of

285
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: uniparty gets thrown around a lot in politics and you're like,

286
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: does it really exist? I have now seen it firsthand.

287
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: My colleagues in the Texas House, in the Republican Caucus

288
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: who walked out, and they're all thirty one of them.

289
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: They have gone and talked to Jean Wu before they've

290
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: talked to me. Jean Wu being the new chairman of

291
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: the Texas House Democrat Caucus. They would rather talk to

292
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 2: him for purposes of gaining power than they would talk

293
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: to me. They would rather disenfranchise the voters of my

294
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 2: district and collude with the Democrats to obtain the gavel,

295
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: then they would espouse Republican values. The uniparty is alive

296
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: and well in tech firsthand.

297
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 5: And explain why that is because you came to my

298
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 5: attention as somebody that had been identified to me as

299
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 5: one of the star lawyers for Ken Paxton when the

300
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 5: House impeached him and Senate to the Senate. But for

301
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 5: people who don't understand why they there is a unit party,

302
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 5: which means Republicans who get up there and will keep

303
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 5: company with Democrats because the goal is never what they

304
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 5: campaigned on. The goal is the lobby, the establishment, the

305
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 5: big government, the packs. But explain that to folks who

306
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 5: don't understand that, because you had a pretty good sense

307
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 5: going in. But even you, I'll tell you, when I

308
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 5: first went into government and I realized what goes on

309
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 5: once you get down there and the campaigns are over,

310
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 5: it kind of depressed me, to be honest with.

311
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: You, Yeah, I had that moment on Saturday, I went

312
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: I confessing to you. I had a moment after these

313
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 2: fellows walked out where I said, I have made a mistake.

314
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 2: This is going to be a total waste of my time.

315
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: And then some this switch flipped in my mind to

316
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 2: this thing where somebody get up and walk out of

317
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: a meeting rather than stay and invest in Republican leadership.

318
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: This thing has to change at any cost. So you

319
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: asked about the existence of the UNI Party, how I

320
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 2: know it's real. Let me give you the perfect example

321
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 2: of this from Saturday. So, my Republican colleagues, after it

322
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: becoming clear that David Cook was going to at some

323
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 2: point win the vote, or at least Dustin Burrows could

324
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 2: not obtain the nomination through the House Republican Caucus process,

325
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: my Republican colleagues can get up and walk out of

326
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 2: the meeting with no consequence to them. Under the bylaws.

327
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: We cannot censure them, we cannot find them, we cannot

328
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 2: expel them. But if I, as a sitting House member

329
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: and Republican in the Texas House, if I think that

330
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: an incumbent is not as good as a primary challenger,

331
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: I cannot campaign for or assist that primary challenger because

332
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: I will risk censure or an expulsion from the Republican Caucus.

333
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: There are more consequences for me and ensuring that my

334
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: colleagues are going to be the most conservative, high fidelity

335
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 2: Republicans I can get, then there are for them for

336
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: walking out of the meeting and going to talk to

337
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: Democrats for purposes of obtaining power.

338
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 5: Mitche that's messed up. It is very messed up. Hold on.

339
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 5: It reminds when I got elected to city council.

340
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 2: I was.

341
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 5: And I noticed that we had some bad city councilmen,

342
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 5: and yet the lobbyists were still giving them money. The

343
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 5: first time I ever heard the term friendly incumbent rule,

344
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 5: and that is that the political action committees will always

345
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 5: give to the incumbent unless they go out of it.

346
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 5: That's how you know the lobby is protecting itself.

347
00:25:43,840 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: Say to it, dude. The Michael Berry shows.

348
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 7: Os around and rounds rist to put his moments up

349
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 7: down and pain ump show that parts of course ends

350
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 7: fencers Faith.

351
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: Who used to meet you.

352
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 7: Those views in Christ said natures.

353
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 5: That representative Mitch Little is our guest. Mitch, do you

354
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 5: know why Snoopy quit his job?

355
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 7: No?

356
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: Tell me he was tired of working for peanuts. So

357
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 5: it's your first session as a state representative. You go out,

358
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 5: You beat an incumbent.

359
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 2: Didn't you, Yeah, I beat an incumbent.

360
00:26:55,119 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 5: Fifteen incumbents were defeated over exactly this behavior that we're

361
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 5: talking about. And people will say to me, Michael, I

362
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 5: don't understand why are they doing this? Why don't they

363
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 5: just do what they campaigned on. And I explain, you

364
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 5: go to Austin, you make seventy two hundred dollars a

365
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 5: year with your per diem, it's about fifteen thousand dollars

366
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 5: a year. That used to be the numbers. You can

367
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 5: tell me if that's wrong. You go up there, you're

368
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 5: one out of one hundred and fifty. The average person

369
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 5: sees themselves going to Austin, Texas to be a state rep.

370
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 5: To do the right thing, and come home like the

371
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 5: volunteer choa president or the volunteer coach because no one

372
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 5: else would coach the team. And then you get the

373
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 5: guy who gets up there who wants to wield power.

374
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 5: And that power source is not the people are doing

375
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 5: the right thing. That's not where they derive their sense.

376
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 5: It is the political action committees and their very narrow

377
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 5: interest and they got big checks and they've got a

378
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 5: credit card to the steakhouse and the strip clubs and

379
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 5: the booze, and that's where the parties are, and that's

380
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 5: where you feel important, and that's how you rise to

381
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 5: the ranks. How wrong am I on that?

382
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 2: Oh, you're not wrong at all. In fact, your song

383
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: coming out of the break was very appropriate. I mean,

384
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: I've met the devil. The devil is the guy who

385
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 2: you know, you meet for the first time and he's

386
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: very nicely dressed and he's got a beautiful family. Ask

387
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: you how you are and how your kids are doing,

388
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 2: and you turn around, he knifes you and your values

389
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: in the back. And we have those people in the

390
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: Texas House. I've met them, and this is There's one Michael,

391
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: I think you saw in primary season. There's one variable

392
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 2: they cannot control for. And the variable that is at

393
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: its most effective now this year twenty twenty four is

394
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: the strength of the grassroots and their voice. They cannot

395
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: control that variable, and when the grassroots are aggressively going

396
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: after or the UNI Party, they really have no answer

397
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: for it. When they hit the polls, when they go

398
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: to their club meetings, when they pound them on social media.

399
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: They have no way to control for that variable. We

400
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: need to energize them against what's going on right now.

401
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 5: It's very frustrating because the average person who's showing up

402
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 5: at the lumber mill or the construction site, or wearing

403
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 5: a badge or as a firefighter or whatever, stay at

404
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 5: home moms, they don't have the time or energy or

405
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 5: access to a lot of this information. And you've got

406
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 5: to be a real insider and spend a lot of

407
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 5: time to understand how these deals are being cut, that

408
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 5: are meant that are meant to muddy the water. Because

409
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 5: what they're doing is they are teaming with the Democrats

410
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 5: because they couldn't win among their Republican colleagues. And when

411
00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 5: the average person understands that, then we'll and Greg Bonnan

412
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 5: and Sam Harless and Lacyhull and Jeff Leech. I mean,

413
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 5: these folks ought to be ashamed of themselves. And if

414
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 5: people fully understood what these people are up to, if

415
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 5: they fully understood and grasped what was going on, I

416
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 5: have to think those people would be so embarrassed to

417
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 5: have to leave the state.

418
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's to put this on the bottom shelf for

419
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: people who listen to you every day and may not

420
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: be super engaged in this. There was one big miscalculation

421
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: Saturday by Team Burrows and you may have seen it

422
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: on their faces in their press conference. You can find

423
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 2: that picture online. Is everybody looked very somber. They had

424
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: a miscalculation. The miscalculation was they thought they would have

425
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: more Republicans on their list than Democrats. The problem is

426
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: there were some of the Republicans on their list that

427
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: weren't supposed to be on there and didn't give them

428
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: permission to put their name on Burrow's list. So now

429
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: Burrough's list has more Democrats than Republicans, and that was

430
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: the miscalculation. You can go find his list right now online.

431
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: There are more Democrats on his list than Republicans. And

432
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: none of the people in that room, none of the

433
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 2: people who got up and walked out of the House

434
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: Republican Caucus, thought they were going to be in that position.

435
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: They thought it would be a Republican majority subset of

436
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: people supporting Burroughs, and they miscalculated. So now they're caught

437
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: with their pants down. No one wants to be on

438
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: a list with more Democrats than Republicans and deal with

439
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: the primary consequences of that, Michael.

440
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 5: Well, and they've seen this year what those primary consequences

441
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 5: look like, because you're going to have the big political

442
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 5: action committees writing you checks. Drunk day did but for

443
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 5: the sitting Speaker of the House to get his ass

444
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 5: whipped in Jasper Jefferson and Orange County in his first

445
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 5: round of his own parties primary, and I'm from there.

446
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 5: I'm farm Orange County where he was trounced, and for

447
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 5: an upstart candidate to beat him in the first round

448
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 5: and to get to just short of fifty percent, causing

449
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 5: a runoff in the primary, and then they have to

450
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 5: have thirteen hundred Democrats vote to keep you as a

451
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 5: state rep. And then you can't be the speaker. If

452
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 5: drunk Dade had it all to do over again, of course,

453
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 5: if he wasn't a puppet of the establishment, it never

454
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 5: would have been there in the first place. But it's embarrassing,

455
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 5: it's humiliating. Can't hold his head up in Beaumont, Orange

456
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 5: or Jasper County. It's embarrassing. And what they're witnessing is

457
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 5: and I think this is the Trump phenomenon all over again,

458
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 5: and it actually preceeds Trump. It goes back to the

459
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 5: Tea Party. Is that the average voter has said, I

460
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 5: don't trust the Republican establishment any more than I do

461
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 5: the Democrats, the John Cornins, the Mitch McConnell's, the John Bahners,

462
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 5: the Paul Ryans, and the Jeb Bushes. And we have

463
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 5: had enough. You know what bothers me, Mitch is that

464
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 5: how much energy we're having to waste within our own

465
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,959
Speaker 5: party purging these bastards who are snakes behind the scenes,
