1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Because we close out the work week for most people. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Tip of the hat to those of you who work weekends, 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: overnights shifts, and there are a lot of them who 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: do twenty one on twenty one off seven on fourteen 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: on fourteen off platform workers, you do it. A lot 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: of tasks have to be performed to keep our society rolling, 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: and thank god somebody is willing to do them. And 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: whatever it is that you do, thank God for you, 9 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: and do not minimize the contribution to our society you make. 10 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: If you are a stay at home mom who raises kids, 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: that's not nothing. I will sometimes ask people what they do, 12 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: not what you do for living, but what do they do, 13 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: and they'll say, oh, nothing, What does that mean? I 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: stay home? That's not nothing. That's not nothing, because you 15 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: are raising the people who, when I am old, are 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: going to hopefully be there to treat my medical conditions 17 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: if I live that long, and to serve on the 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: jury when some Democrat knocks me in the head, and 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: to do all the other functions that need to be performed. Yeah, 20 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: you're doing that. That is noble, That is good, that 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: is noteworthy. The head of NPR, national Public Radio that 22 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: was funded by your tax dollars. Was giving a speech 23 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: at one point where she said, our reverence for the 24 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: truth might have become a distraction. And in the speech 25 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: she talks about the fact that when you have a 26 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: noble goal, a noble cause you are fighting for, like oh, 27 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, destrowing Donald Trump, you're not required to 28 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: tell the truth. The truth is overrated. You do whatever 29 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: needs to be done. You remember when Harry Reid in 30 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: twenty twelve that inside sources, inside the IRS told him 31 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: that Mitt Romney doesn't file tax returns and that on 32 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: those he did file, he cheated, and that the IRS. 33 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 2: Knew it and they were going to get him. 34 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: And then when the election came and went, turns out 35 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: that wasn't true and he'd never actually heard it, but 36 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: people believed it because Senate Majority Leader he would know. 37 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: And they said, do you feel bad? Do you want 38 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: to apologize? He said, no, Obama won, didn't he The 39 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: point was, it's okay to tell a lie, it's okay 40 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: to smear someone's name, it's okay to defraud the American people. 41 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: Truth doesn't matter. Winning is all that matters. 42 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: So when the director of MPR says, our reverence for 43 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: the truth might have become a distraction. See, we weren't 44 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: willing to lie to win every point, and we have 45 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: to be able to do that. I am reminded of 46 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: the speech that the great Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas 47 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: gave back in twenty twenty two, and this is my 48 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: advice to you, and should be your advice to your children. 49 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: He said, you can be in the middle of a hurricane, 50 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: or you can be on a calm day. North is 51 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: still north. You could be in a thunderstorm. North is 52 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: still North. People can yell at you. North is still north. 53 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't change fundamental things. And in this business, right 54 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: is still right, even if you stand by yourself. Of 55 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:59,279 Speaker 1: all the speeches people give, ted talks, lectures and graduation 56 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: Benediction remarks that comment has really stuck with me as 57 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: certainly more than most do, and I think because it 58 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: was so perfect for our times. And so I offer 59 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: that to you because wherever you are, whether you are 60 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: a public person or completely private, whether you're a pastor 61 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: the head of a company, a personality on radio television, 62 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: a writer, a teacher, professor, or a person who doesn't 63 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: interact with a lot of people, maybe your words aren't 64 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: heard by quite as many. Find truth, find the facts, 65 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: find principle and character, and hold firm to that. And 66 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: no matter what storm blows through. If you say I'm 67 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: not taking a shot that hasn't been tested because you 68 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: believe that scientific principles, say that's purely experimental. And you 69 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: have questions, reasonable questions, no matter who wants to fire you, 70 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: insult you, or worse, stand by your principles. If you 71 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: believe Donald Trump is doing a great job for this country, 72 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: the Michael Berry, stand by your principles. 73 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 3: North is always North. 74 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: Friday New six o'clock and all my friends with twisting 75 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: all if I'm at the house just turning on the TV. 76 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 3: Steve Toad is a state rep. 77 00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: Who is a Tea party guy, constitutional conservative, and the 78 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: kind of guy that the grassroots loves, who always struggles 79 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: to win against the establishment candidates. Every year that John 80 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: Cornyan runs for reelection, there's always one of these guys, 81 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: and they just never have the money to get there. 82 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: And because they don't have the money, because the moneyed 83 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: interest doesn't give money to people like this, then they 84 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: can't get their name out. So they're left to run 85 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: a campaign of themselves in a truck driving around, showing 86 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: up at debates, and there's this great frustration. But this 87 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: time is going to be different because Steve Toath has 88 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: represented his district well, because he has taken tough, strong stances, 89 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: and because people understand. People now know who he is, 90 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: and just as importantly, they know who Dan Crenshaw is. 91 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: And the more people know of Crenshaw, the less they 92 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: like him. With Steve Toat sitting down with Tucker Carlson, 93 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna be playing some clips from that interview. It's 94 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: a fantastic interview, and we'll be talking to Toad again 95 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: before election day. 96 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: But here is the question of how Crenshaw got. 97 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: Elected, and I'll bear some of I'll bear responsibility for this. 98 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 4: You're in the Texas House. You represent an area that 99 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 4: overlaps with Crenshaw's district. Obviously you live there. It's one 100 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 4: of the most conservative districts in Texas. 101 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 5: I think it's always Montgomery County is absolutely the reddest 102 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 5: of red counties. Yes, Terran County is bigger, but it's purple. 103 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 5: You're the biggest red county left in Texas. And one 104 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 5: of my district is inside congressional district too, so that 105 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 5: would mean. 106 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 4: It's probably the biggest by population Red county in the 107 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 4: United States. 108 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely, once we lost Harris County to voter fraud. 109 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 4: Yes, so how does that the biggest I'm just guessing 110 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 4: one of the biggest Republican counties in the United States 111 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 4: get dam Crenshaw as a member of Congress, Like, how 112 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 4: does that happen? 113 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 3: So this is my maya copa? Is that how you said? 114 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: Mia? 115 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's your knitting fault. 116 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 5: In twenty eighteen, when Dan Crenshaw came around, it was 117 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 5: kind of a man crush for me. 118 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 119 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, Navy Seal War hero, and I only knew one person. 120 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 5: They're like eight people in that race, and there was 121 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 5: only one person that was kind of emerging as is 122 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 5: the person that was going to win, and he was 123 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 5: kind of a rhino. He was he was very weak. 124 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 5: And this guy comes along that says, look, I'm going 125 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 5: to upend the Apple card. I'm going to be a 126 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 5: disruptive influence. I am going to absolutely stand against the swamp. 127 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 5: Where's Ted Cruise called at the Washington Cartel. I'm going 128 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 5: to stop it. I'm going to fight it. And so 129 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 5: we got behind him, and damn, I would have voted 130 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 5: for him too. Yeah, said that, So I encouraged our 131 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 5: local tea party to mail into the district, to spend 132 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 5: money into the district and help them raise money to 133 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 5: move move mountains to get Dan Crenshall acted. So feel 134 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 5: a sense of responsibility for this major screw up, because 135 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 5: no sooner did he get there than he became part 136 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 5: of the problem. 137 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 4: Oh, he became a leader of the problem. And I 138 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: have so what year was that, twenty eighteen. I'm sure 139 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 4: he has official opinions on issues related to Texas or 140 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 4: the United States, but it's also very obvious to me 141 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 4: watching him carefully, that his real interest, all his main interests, 142 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 4: are outside this country. It doesn't seem like his agenda 143 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 4: really has anything to do with America. It's a self 144 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 4: interest more than anything. 145 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 5: You see this revolving door on the part of people 146 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 5: in Congress that line themselves up for lobbying positions as 147 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 5: soon as they leave Congress, and so in order to 148 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 5: get those kind of cushy jobs, you've got to do 149 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 5: the lobby's bidding upfront early on. He's a young guy, right, 150 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 5: and he's not the kind of person that's going to 151 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 5: be there for twenty or thirty years. He is the 152 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 5: kind of person though, that's going to line himself up 153 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 5: for a cushy lobbying position once he gets out, And 154 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 5: so you've got to go along. You cannot you cannot 155 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 5: ruffle feathers. You can't go against leadership, and you can't 156 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 5: go against the lobby. 157 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,599 Speaker 4: Not only is he not go against the lobby, I 158 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 4: mean his campaigns are the most we pulled the numbers. 159 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 3: The most recent. 160 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 4: One that I saw suggested that his two biggest donors 161 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 4: are giving him money because of his foreign policy views. 162 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 4: One is a foreign lobby I think is his biggest donor, 163 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 4: one of them literally a foreign lobby, and the other 164 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,359 Speaker 4: is a hedge fund guy called Clifford Asnes, who's. 165 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 3: You know, it's one of the sleazier people in American business. 166 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 4: There's that, but also is not paying Dan Crenshaw for 167 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 4: anything related to the United States. It so only has 168 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 4: to do with influencing his vote on questions pertaining to 169 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 4: other countries. 170 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 3: I mean, it's the opposite of America. First, it's America. 171 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: Last, Then there is a question of the southern border, 172 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: the southern border of Texas, and how Dan Crenshaw cares 173 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: nothing about our southern border, but he is obsessed Ukraine. 174 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: And I got to tell you this pisses people off 175 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: as much as anything. It's been my greatest heartburn is 176 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: his total disregard for the border and what we've been 177 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: dealing with at the Texas border, and yet his obsession 178 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: with Ukraine's border. 179 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 5: Yes, what is that? I mean, I can't get my 180 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 5: arms around it. So three years ago we went down 181 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 5: to the border and pretty much all of the Texas 182 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 5: delegation was there. Mike Johnson came from Alabama or from Louisiana, 183 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 5: the Southern state congressional members came down to be with us, 184 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 5: and we interviewed ICE agents, we interviewed Border Patrol, we 185 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 5: interviewed US Border Patrol, Union, we interviewed Ranchers. The only 186 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 5: person from the congressional delegation that was not there, Dan Crenshaw. 187 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 5: It's like, why don't you want to know about what's 188 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 5: going on down here? This is not a about working 189 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 5: with the Mexican government. This is about on boots in 190 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 5: the ground right down on the border, understanding what we're 191 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 5: dealing with down here, so you understand firsthand what's really 192 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 5: truly going on. Because he has no clue what's really 193 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 5: going on. 194 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 4: But you're in Houston. I mean it's not that far. 195 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 4: Houston has been completely I have family there at night, 196 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 4: so I go completely transformed by illegal immigration completely. It's 197 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 4: unrecognizable and it hasn't gotten better. It's gotten much worse. 198 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 4: That's my read as a visitor. But how could he 199 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 4: ignore that fifty eight percent of the births in Texas 200 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 4: or medicaid births fifty eight percent? So think about this 201 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 4: as second Tucker. Twenty years ago, Medicaid was three percent 202 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 4: of the Texas budget. Now it's the number two driver 203 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 4: of the budget, and it's doing large part to illegal immigration. 204 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 4: People come across the border, have their babies, sometimes they 205 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 4: go back, sometimes they don't. So that's like collapse. I mean, 206 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 4: that's not sustainable, not even in the short term. Is 207 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 4: that sustainable. 208 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 5: Good hearted people want to say, well, we should do this, 209 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 5: and to which I say, I think God would say 210 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 5: we should do it. We should do it, not the 211 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 5: government exactly, we should do it. The church care so much, 212 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 5: use your own money. The church should do it. We 213 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 5: used to go down to the Mexican border, I mean 214 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 5: to the border towns in northern Mexico and build churches, 215 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 5: we would build schools, we would build homes, we'd go 216 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 5: down there and do medical missions work. We can't go 217 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 5: down there anymore because Mexico, for all intense purposes, a 218 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 5: failed state. I mean it really truly is. It's a 219 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 5: failed state. And so you can't go down there anymore. 220 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 5: And so people say, well, we can't go down there anymore. 221 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 5: There for the United States government needs to bail this 222 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 5: all out. 223 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 3: No, it's. 224 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 5: We're destroying our children and grandchildren's ability to have any 225 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 5: kind of future whatsoever. 226 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 3: We're drilling holes in the bottom of the ploy. 227 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 6: This is the Michael Berry Show, Locked and loaded. 228 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: The next return of. 229 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: The issue in the Dan Crenshaw second Professional District is 230 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: up for reelection and he's being he's being challenged by 231 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: Steve Toath and Toth is right on all the issues, 232 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: and Crenshaw is wrong on all the issues. And even 233 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: when he's supposedly right because he checks the box, he 234 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: won't do anything about anything. 235 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 3: And we've all had enough. 236 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: And Toth is the best chance we have of beating 237 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: Dan Crenshaw. Here he is laying out he's been a 238 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: state rep. He's been working hard, he's in the minority, 239 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: so he can't get the majority to do what he 240 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: wants done. But he is constantly constantly nagging, cajoling, exposing, threatening, 241 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: and in that sense, he makes the House better than 242 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: it was because even though they don't like the Freedom Republicans, 243 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: they know the Freedom Republicans have access to folks who 244 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: do what I do talking to you, and that scares 245 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: the Republican establishment. 246 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: They don't like that, not one bit. 247 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: So here is Steve Toe talking with Tucker Carlson about 248 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: illegal immigration and its effects on Texas. 249 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 3: And this relates to the fact that. 250 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: Dan Crenshaw was supposed to be a guy fighting to 251 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: close our border and he's done anything. 252 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 5: But Tucker, he came to a town hall meeting three 253 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 5: years ago when the Senate bipartisan which anytime you hear 254 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 5: a Senate bipartisan border bill, run run fast right. Democrats 255 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 5: are looking for any kind of solution on the border. 256 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 5: Democrats are not looking to close the border. They created this, 257 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 5: and they completely created this, and so they have this 258 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 5: wack adoodal bill that allows five thousand people into the 259 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 5: country a day, eight one point eight million a year. 260 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 5: And if you look at the bones the bill, yes, 261 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 5: the bones of the bill say, it did call for 262 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 5: more ICE agents, but it wasn't to close the border, Tucker. 263 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 5: It was to process people coming into the country. So 264 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 5: all it did was to just streamline their ability to 265 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 5: come into the country and be lost into the system. Okay, 266 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 5: show up for your court date in a year and 267 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 5: a half, two years which they don't show up for 268 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 5: They're gone. They're lost into the fabric of the nation. 269 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 5: And you know, they are a drain on our schools, 270 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 5: They're a drain on our structure. They're drain, really huge 271 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 5: drain on our criminal criminal justice system in Texas and 272 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 5: across the United States. It's killing us. Well. 273 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 4: They also make it impossible to have a cohesive country. 274 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 4: I mean, if a huge percentage of the population just 275 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 4: got here, then what is it to be American? No 276 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 4: one is pausing to ask that question. And when there's 277 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 4: a financial downturn or a national disaster, or we're tested 278 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 4: as a nation, how do we hold together? 279 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 2: Yeah? 280 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 5: Twenty years ago, a friend of mine they grew up 281 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 5: in Toronto, said the great thing about America is the 282 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 5: hero melting pot, where Canada is more like a quilt 283 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 5: and we're tearing a part of it. 284 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 3: Seams. Yes, y'all have a common language. Did I just 285 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 3: say y'all? Yes? I did. 286 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 5: It's okay you have a common language. We don't have 287 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 5: a common language. In Canada, we have French and we 288 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 5: have English. And in America now we have English and 289 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 5: we have Spanish. And we are becoming a quilt that 290 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 5: is tearing apart at the seams. Yes, and do you 291 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 5: feel that where you live? 292 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 3: Oh? 293 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 5: Terribly, yeah, terribly. You see it, especially see it in 294 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 5: the classroom. Right now, we keep hearing the left say 295 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 5: we're losing teachers in public education because they're not being 296 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 5: paid enough. Well, it's not what the pulling saw us. 297 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 5: I sat down with Texas Classroom Teachers Association in twenty 298 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 5: nineteen and I said, quality of the life, violence in 299 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 5: the classroom, teacher pay what's the most important issue. Quality 300 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 5: of the life and violence in the classroom. Violence in 301 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 5: the classroom. Violence in the classroom. Teachers are being assaulted 302 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 5: like you have never seen before. I mean, there is 303 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 5: one school in the state of Texas and I think 304 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 5: it was on TikTok, seventy two assaults I'm sorry, seventy 305 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 5: two fights on that were recorded. So that's basically two 306 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 5: fights a week in the school that were recorded, and 307 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 5: then we're on TikTok and those are just the ones 308 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 5: that they've caught. And you see this in classroom after 309 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 5: classroom after classrooms. So you bring you bring children together 310 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 5: that can't speak the language, and then you poison them 311 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 5: with critical race theory, tell them that the children of 312 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 5: color are oppressed and the white kids are oppressors. 313 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 3: What could go wrong? Right? 314 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 4: I mean, it's just got a lot of attacks on whites. 315 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 4: As a result of that, you. 316 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 5: Have a lot and a lot of attacks on white 317 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 5: teachers as well. And again, a lot of this it 318 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 5: stems from what we've done with the border and our 319 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 5: unwillingness to close the border. This is not about understanding 320 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 5: better understanding what's going on in Mexico. Mexico's a failed 321 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 5: state and we've got to treat it like a failed state. 322 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 3: We've got to close the border. 323 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: Here is Steve Toth talking to Tucker Crossing about the 324 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: bipartisan border bill. Now, let me ask you this. Democrats 325 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: have made very clear that they don't believe anybody is illegal, 326 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: and they don't want anybody removed from this country because 327 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: they're illegal. We've got some of them out there encouraging 328 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: h citizens to shoot at Ice. We know that the 329 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: cartels are now taking out bounties on ICE commanders. This 330 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 1: has become a cartel war because look, cartels have billions 331 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: of dollars at stake care, and we know that the 332 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: Democrats are not standing up to this. The Democrats don't 333 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: want the border shut down because the Democrats have made 334 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: their decision that they're going to be supported by the 335 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: groups who make money off of illegal immigration, and there 336 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 1: are powerful people in the midst of all that who 337 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: support Dan Crenshaw. So when Crenshaw says we need a 338 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: bipartisan border bill, there's nothing that can pass that it's 339 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: good for you and me that Democrats would support. 340 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 2: So when you hear bipartisan, you go, oh good. 341 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 3: Everybody agrees. No, That's how you know it's bad Crenshaw. 342 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 4: Every time I've seen him speak, it's about Ukraine's sacred borders. 343 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 4: It's territorial integrity, standing up for democracy, fighting putin Hitler 344 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 4: or whatever. 345 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 3: What is that? Why the emphasis? 346 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's fair to have views on 347 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 4: all kinds of foreign questions, but in his case, it's 348 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 4: so much the center of his focus. 349 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 5: Why you know, and I get that you can go 350 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 5: from Trump was, you know, Russia went into crimea right 351 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 5: under Barack Obama in his silly line in the sand, 352 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 5: and Trump came in and where Obama had given them 353 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 5: blankets and band aids, Trump came in and gave them, 354 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 5: you know, anti tank missiles, and he gave them serious 355 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 5: weaponry to stall the Russians. And then Biden comes in 356 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 5: and does the exact opposite, right, but starts talking tough. 357 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 3: And so I guess I can. 358 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 5: Get initially saying okay, I want to get back to 359 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 5: doing what Trump did. But the obsession that he that 360 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 5: he displayed in the midst of it was was sickening, 361 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 5: was absolutely sickening, especially again when you call into account 362 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 5: the fact that we have an open border in the 363 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 5: South and he was doing nothing to help us. In fact, 364 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 5: when the Senate deal came about, he held a town 365 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 5: hall for elected officials in our district and I put 366 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 5: my hand up and I said, Dan, you're allowing five 367 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 5: thousand people into the country a day. And he just 368 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 5: absolutely was totally pissed really that I was bringing this up. 369 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 3: And I'm not the only one. 370 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 5: Center Creighton also was like, we cannot do this, and 371 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 5: he said, you guys should be absolutely thankful that we're 372 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 5: doing something now to close the border, because you can't 373 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 5: do it. I'm like, we have done it. We just 374 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 5: need you, guys, stay the hell out of the way. 375 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 5: We could close Texas on its own, could close the border. 376 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 5: We just need you to keep out of our business. 377 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 5: If you're not going to help us, get out of 378 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 5: the way. And he was just in fact that we 379 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 5: couldn't do it. We needed we needed to pass this legislation. Meanwhile, 380 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 5: Trump was saying, you don't need any legislation. You just 381 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 5: need to close the border. You just sneach to some 382 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 5: some stones, some backbone it. Close the borders from the nation. 383 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,479 Speaker 5: You don't have a national bard in Texas. 384 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 6: We're gonna be changing the name of the Gulf of 385 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 6: Mexico to the Gulf. 386 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: Of michael Berry, which has a beautiful. 387 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 7: Way one bread and butter beans and you cross the table, 388 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 7: eating them. 389 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 6: Beans and making love and long time holl and corn 390 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 6: and cotton to and man the days over rid mewle 391 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 6: and cuckoo and love in all over good.

And the bay Koon dog gonna be Mathews. 393 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: The Steve Toath challenge of Dan Crenshaw is going to 394 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: get some of my time with your indulgence between now 395 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: in the primary, because I did as much as anything 396 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: as I did as much as anyone to help Dan 397 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: Crenshaw get elected, and he has not turned out to 398 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: be who he said he was, and I am embarrassed 399 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: by that. I will tell you I am embarrassed by that. 400 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: I'm disappointed by that. And I'm also going to do 401 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: everything I can to help Steve Toth win that race. 402 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: And I can assure you that Tucker Carlson feels exactly 403 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: the same way. He did a sit down interview with 404 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: Steve Toathe. That's the best explanation of that race and 405 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: why Crenshaw has to go that there is. He also 406 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: did an interview with the guy who created the Pelosi Tracker, 407 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: which is the uh the that shows you what Nancy 408 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: Pelosi is trading so you can trade it because it 409 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: gets amazing returns. Imagine that it's almost as if she 410 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: has inside information. But what inside information would she have? Oh, 411 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: I don't know that this particular company is about to 412 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: get approval on something that this particular company is being 413 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: investigated All of that is inside information that she should 414 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: not have access to, and if she does, then she 415 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: can't trade on it. That's insider trading. I assure you 416 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: that what's the woman's Martha Stewart went to prison. 417 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 3: For far less than that. 418 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: Well, one of the things Republicans do, like Crenshaw is 419 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 1: they pour money into these rhino groups who call themselves Republicans, 420 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: but their establishment Republicans. These are kind of people who 421 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: support John Corner. These are the kind of people who 422 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: supported Nicki Haley in her running against Trump last year, 423 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: and so they helped raise money for these groups, and 424 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: then these groups go no. 425 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 2: No, No, Dan's a good Dan Crenshaw is. 426 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 3: A good Republican. 427 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 2: Not the kind of Republican you want. 428 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 4: Listen, But I'm interested in his reaction. I've seen this 429 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 4: with him a lot, and it suggests that there's something 430 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 4: I think he's mentally. I'm just going to say that, 431 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 4: I'm not saying that a's an attack. I'm saying that 432 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 4: with sympathy, there's something really wrong with him. I think 433 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 4: he was damaged by his service. I think it's partly 434 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 4: our faults as a country for sending these guys into 435 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 4: these horrible positions, and then I'm not helping them when 436 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 4: they come home. I know that you help run Mighty Oaks, 437 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 4: which is a group dedicated to helping servicemen when they 438 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 4: come back so they don't kill themselves. So I know 439 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 4: you spend a lot of time on this. So I 440 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 4: don't want to attack him too much personally because I 441 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 4: want to be compassionate. But boy, I've never seen any 442 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 4: elected official respond to criticism the way he does. 443 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 3: I mean, it's like anyone who asked him a question, 444 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 3: it's like, you're evil. 445 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 4: I saw him recently say, if you don't agree with 446 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 4: beyond this foreign policy is you're evil? 447 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 3: What is that you? 448 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 5: You can't enter into any kind of dialogue with him. 449 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 5: He just takes it personally. He gets offended. He's completely 450 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 5: thin skinned over it. I just can't at you and 451 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 5: then attack you and attack your integrity or character and 452 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 5: your and your intellectual capacity. 453 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 3: I can't. 454 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 5: I can't put words to it. So who's for him? 455 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 5: I think the lobby is absolutely for him. I think 456 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 5: establishment Republicans and you know the Karl Rove, the Associated 457 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 5: Republicans of Texas are foreign it should be called the 458 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 5: Associated Rhinos of Texas. But it's so sick these guys 459 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 5: Associated Republicans, Associated Republicans of Texas. So they come after 460 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 5: conservative Republicans every two years. I've got one of the 461 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 5: most conservative voting records in the TEXASAU like in the 462 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 5: top five, top four. My last four sessions, I've passed 463 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 5: some really important, critically important, comprehensive legislation that's part of 464 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 5: the Republican priorities, banning critical race theory in the classroom, 465 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 5: banning the social transition of children. And yet this group 466 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 5: comes after me every two years. Two election cycles ago, 467 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 5: they spent three four hundred thousand dollars against me, and 468 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 5: we're able to get thirty six percent of the vote. 469 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 5: This last election cycle, the Associated Republicans of Texas spent 470 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 5: seven hundred thousand dollars against me and got thirty four 471 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,479 Speaker 5: percent of the vote. Really, but Dan Crenshaw helps fund him. 472 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 5: Why so he takes his lobbying money and he writes 473 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 5: checks tens of thousands of dollars the Associated Republicans of 474 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 5: Texas that isn't doing anything to help us expand the 475 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 5: majority in the Texas House. They just come after the Conservatives. 476 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 5: It's trying to make you more like Democrats completely. Yeah, 477 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 5: So what is it and who runs it and where 478 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 5: does its money come from? It's Karl Rove and it's 479 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 5: it's just kind of big establishment money, lobby money. 480 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 3: Next, we have the issue of gambling in Texas. 481 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: I'm not actually against gambling in Texas, but what I 482 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: don't approve of is taking gambling lobbyists money. Here is 483 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: Steve Toath talking to Tucker Crossing about turning down gambling 484 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: special interest money. This I do respect, even though we 485 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: disagree on the issue of gambling. I do respect the 486 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: fact that he doesn't he's not bought and paid for 487 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: by lobbyists Karl Rove. 488 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 4: Every time I ask someone involved in Texas politics, how 489 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 4: does this conservative this great state get such horrible like 490 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 4: how does a John Cornyn or Dan Crenshaw get elected 491 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 4: in Texas? 492 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 5: They always mentioned Karl Rove. Texas is the eighth largest 493 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 5: economy in the world. Our economy is bigger than Russia. 494 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 5: Our economy is bigger than Australia. It's a bigger than Canada, 495 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 5: it's bigger than Mexico. It's a huge economy. We have 496 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 5: a three hundred plus billion dollar budget, right, and so 497 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 5: when you're taking a Budget's state budget over three hundred 498 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 5: billion dollars. Yeah, damn per buyennium. And so when you're 499 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 5: talking about that kind of money, it attracts a lot 500 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 5: of bottom dwellers. So you hear about the Washington cartel, Well, 501 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 5: it's pretty much the same thing in Austin, Texas. There's 502 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 5: just a lot of money, just a ton of money, 503 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 5: and they will get fixated on things like bringing gambling 504 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 5: to Texas. As an example, the neo cons desperately want 505 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 5: to bring gambling to Texas. 506 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 3: I'm very libertarian on this issue. 507 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 5: Like, if you want to have a card game and 508 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 5: you want to gamble, what you do in your in 509 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 5: your house is up to you. 510 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 3: It's not agree it's none of my business. 511 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, if you're going 512 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 5: to say this is state sponsored and we're only going 513 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 5: to give out two or three licenses and we're going 514 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 5: to give them out to our friends that have given 515 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 5: tons of campaign money, right, then it's corrupt. It's it's 516 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 5: crony capitalism to the max. Did improve people's lives, doesn't 517 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 5: improve people's lives. And at the end of the day, 518 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 5: look at any you look at any of the states 519 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 5: that have implemented it, and we have we have a 520 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 5: national treasure in Houston by the name of Jim mcinveil. 521 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 5: His name is Mattress Mack and he owns gallery furniture. 522 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 5: He's the most amazing man in the whole world. And 523 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 5: he's a gambler and and uh, he would say, the 524 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 5: worst thing that Texas could possibly do would be to 525 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 5: bring gambling to Texas. Why they build these billion dollar 526 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 5: resorts right with cash, these multi multinational corporations. What happens 527 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 5: to that money? People go and gamble, and that money 528 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 5: leaves our economy. Of course, you have less money moving 529 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 5: within the economy. They'll say, well, yeah, but it's a 530 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 5: it's a great uh tax revenue. It's there's great tax 531 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 5: revenue from it. Yeah, but eventually the pool in which 532 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 5: you're drawing from drives up. 533 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: Next, you're gonna hear Steve Toad talk about a very, 534 00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: very troubling trend in Texas and that is how the 535 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: Republican margin of victory has shrunk in the past ten years. 536 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: And this should scare every single Republican. Oh, I don't 537 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: have time for that. I'll get to that in just 538 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: a moment. Stay tuned.
