  Speaker 3: Chris X Radio.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Chris X Radio.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: What we need right now is a clear message to
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: the people of this country. This message must be read
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: in every newspaper, heard on every radio, seen.
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: On every television.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: This message must resound throughout the entire interlink.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: And now, your host.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I believe this is going.
• 0:36
  Speaker 6: To be our finest hour.
• 0:38
  Speaker 7: Chris X.
• 0:53
  Speaker 8: And welcome back to The Voice of Texas. Thanks for
• 0:56
  Speaker 8: joining us on a Tuesday drive home afternoon. You don't
• 1:01
  Speaker 8: have the X-Man on the radio today. You have the
• 1:03
  Speaker 8: Strew with the view, Ben Strewzan, subbing for the X-Man
• 1:07
  Speaker 8: and taking all your comments and questions. So give us
• 1:10
  Speaker 8: a call, 281-558-5738 or pound KSEV for our Verizon callers.
• 1:16
  Speaker 8: I see my buddy Lucas is sitting in the driveway.
• 1:20
  Speaker 8: Main chair today. Lucas, I don't think you have ever
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: done a show. Well, I know you've done them for
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: the Amigos before, right? But this is the first time
• 1:29
  Speaker 8: you and I have ever done a show. And, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 8: I had your colleague on, you know, maybe six or
• 1:35
  Speaker 8: eight months ago, the last time I did a show
• 1:37
  Speaker 8: with the professor who now has his own show, between
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: five and six, right after the Chris X-Man show. And
• 1:44
  Speaker 8: I challenged him to come up with.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: A little better music.
• 1:48
  Speaker 8: Than what he was providing for Chris X. So I'm
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: making the same challenge to you. You know, it's just
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: a question of taste, but what can I say? I
• 1:59
  Speaker 8: have great taste.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: You know that, right? I do.
• 2:01
  Speaker 8: So I think you need to come up with some
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: really good music going in and going out. You can
• 2:08
  Speaker 8: always default to some of our Amigos music.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I always approve of that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 8: But I'm sure you can find some great stuff that,
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: You know, we'll probably, you know, forget the Metallica, you know, sound.
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: I don't particularly like that. Or, you know, I do
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: kind of like the, well, I would say country western because,
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: you know, I do like that. But, you know, we
• 2:33
  Speaker 8: don't have to go there. But maybe some of the,
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: you know, 80s and 90s stuff.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Got it. You know, the good stuff.
• 2:41
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Some of the good stuff. Play the good stuff, Sam.
• 2:43
  Speaker 10: The good stuff.
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: I'll be looking.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: The good stuff, Sam. You know what I'm talking about.
• 2:46
  Speaker 11: Yes, sir.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: You've seen that movie?
• 2:48
  Speaker 12: I have.
• 2:49
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 2:49
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: All right, folks.
• 2:52
  Speaker 8: In any event, thanks for joining us on the Chris
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: X Show and on KSEV 700. We have so many
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: ways now for you to listen.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: To the KSEV broadcast.
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: My favorite one is to go to ksevradio.com and listen
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: to our show and watch our live streaming simultaneously. which
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: is why they call that a simultaneously streaming live broadcast.
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: And we have that going on right now on Twitter,
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: or you could call it X if you are so inclined. Facebook,
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: for those of you that are kind of, what, is
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: that considered too old, Facebook?
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Is that an older crowd?
• 3:37
  Speaker 10: It's getting there.
• 3:38
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: And, of course, YouTube, I've done that before, sitting in
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: my living room watching television. And want to find out
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: what they're talking about at KSEV.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: So I just.
• 3:48
  Speaker 8: Click over to the YouTube and I watch it. YouTube.com
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: on KSEVradio.com. So we have some great ways.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: And, of course, Rumble.
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: I can't forget that one. I don't know if we
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: had it anymore or if that's what we're using right now.
• 4:01
  Speaker 16: That's everything we've got.
• 4:02
  Speaker 10: You covered it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: That's what we're using.
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: And we have a new download on our app. So
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you right now, if you have the old
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: app and if you want to listen live, you could
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: still do that. For the most part, people have been
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: able to convert from the old app to the new
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: app without too much trouble. I had to actually delete
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: the old app and just download the new app from
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: the App Store.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I have an iPhone, and if you have an iPhone,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: it's easy to get.
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: We're still working on the Android version, but you can
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: listen to us on our website, or you can just
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: download the new app and listen to us.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: It is really, really something great. to check out.
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: And you can push a button on our new app
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: and actually watch live streaming of the show going on
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: right now. So best not to do that when you're
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: driving in the car, but if you're like me, you
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: connect your phone to your software via Bluetooth in your car,
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: and you just hit your KSEV app and hit play,
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: and presto change-o, you're listening to the Chris X Show,
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: which is... temporarily and one day only, hosted by myself,
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: Ben Struzan, the Stru with a Vue.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: All right, so I got all of that out of
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the way, and let's go.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: For something that we're really looking forward to later on
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: this evening. Do you know what I'm talking about, Lucas?
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: Do you have any idea what I'm talking about? What
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: is going to happen later on this evening? You need
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: to pop your feet up, sit in a recliner, grab
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: some popcorn, grab a couple of brewskis, turn on the TV,
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: and what are you going to be watching?
• 5:46
  Speaker 17: No, I actually don't know. I'm very sorry.
• 5:48
  Speaker 16: What do we got?
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: You and me and the rest of the world are
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: going to be watching the Indiana Fever play the New
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: York Liberty.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: That's right, folks.
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: A WNBA game, also known as WWE basketball, where we
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: can find all the players that we like and love
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: duking it out with all the ones we don't. And
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: I'm really looking forward to that, what they used to
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: call that, a celebrity death match?
• 6:17
  Speaker 16: Yes, on MTV.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, celebrity death match with the WNBA.
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: And we're going to get our sports WNBA superstar, know-it-all
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: guy in here in the second hour, Craig Collins, who's
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: going to update us on everything going on in the NBA.
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: And I'm sure he caught that story about, what is it,
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: the attorney general in Florida saying, may file charges against
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: whatever that lady's name was that did the, they called
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: it a hard foul, but it looked, you know, more
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: like a, well, I'd call it more.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Like a, in football, what do you call it?
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: Like a hairline tackle or a clothesline tackle with an arm,
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: stiff arm. Clothesline tackle around the neck on Sophie Cunningham
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: that certainly put the WNBA in the news. You know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: on some level, they've got to be loving this, right?
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: I mean, they're sitting there having this quandary over whether
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: or not to allow transgender men to compete in women's
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: basketball and the rest of the world could care less
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: about the basketball industry.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: And only cares about what their decision is going to be.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: In the meantime, you.
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: Have former NBA players raise their hand and say, I'm
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: feeling really female today. I want to enter the WNBA
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: and extend my career. So they're waiting in the wings
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: for the WNBA.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: To make that decision. Of course, we'll be covering it live.
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: On KSEVradio.com and on KSEV. And as always, as I said,
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: you can join the conversation, 281-558-5738 or pound KSEV for
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: our Verizon callers. Now, let's get into some of the
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: politics that are going on around the state. I'm getting
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: really concerned about the upcoming November elections, the polling for Trump.
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: nationwide is very bad. It's been getting worse over the
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: last two weeks. I think part of it is the
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: way that Republicans are dealing with the issues.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Part of it has to do with the issues themselves.
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: So we're going to get into some of that right
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: after this break, and we'll talk about some of the
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: new polling. We'll talk about some of the ideas that
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: I have, I think, that can turn it around before
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: the election. I'm not sure we can save the day entirely,
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: but we certainly can do a better job helping to
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: elect more Republicans here in Texas and more Republicans nationwide.
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: And a lot of it has to do with the
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: way we talk about the issues that are affecting people
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: and the way they view what's going on. So we're
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: going to deal with that. I'm going to play these clips.
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: You know, I like Harry... He's the pollster on CNN.
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: Don't like CNN. We know their message is bias and
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: in the tank for the Democrats, and they're the media
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: allies of the Democrat Party. But sometimes they get a good,
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: honest person on, and he covers both sides of the story.
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: So I'm going to play a couple clips from Inton
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: on what some of that polling is like, and then
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: we'll get in to what's going on here in Texas,
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: which is also very concerning to me. And I'm going
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: to play a clip, I think, why we have such
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: a problem here in Texas.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: So we'll take your call. and comments when we come
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: out of the break. Ben Struzan, subbing for the X-Man

• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Did it not mix?

  Speaker 3: Is that what this is? Is this some AI creation? No,

• 13:55
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Is that a song?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: I'm trying to think of.

  Speaker 15: Billy Idol.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Billy Idol. Okay.
• 14:03
  Speaker 9: That shows you.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: what I know.
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: All right, folks, welcome back to The Voice of Texas.
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: Ben Struzan, something for the X-Men, taking your calls and comments.
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: So give us a call, 281-558-5738, or pound KSCV for
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: our Verizon callers. So one of the things that is
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: very concerning to me is the polling here in Texas
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: in the U.S. Senate race, and that is going to
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: be a barometer, I think, for what happens everywhere down
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: ballot as well. As you are aware, there was a
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: bitter primary battle between John Cornyn, the incumbent U.S. senator,
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: and our Attorney General Ken Paxton.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Paxton won in a runoff.
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: And since then, he has been struggling, I think, prominently
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: with fundraising.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: You may have noticed that Tallarico, who.
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: Is his Democrat opponent, is running a lot of advertisements
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: on different media outlets online.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: All over the state. And he is building a lead
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: in the polls.
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: And I again, when I talk about polls, I don't
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: necessarily refer to what the overall poll numbers say, whether
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: it's like 45, 43, 47, 44. That doesn't that doesn't
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: concern me as much as what direction the polls are moving.
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: So when I see a Fox poll, for example, that
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: had Tallarico and Paxton tied two weeks ago, and now
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: I see the same Fox poll that shows Tallarico with
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: a two- or three-point lead, I come to the conclusion
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: that the wind is blowing in Tallarico's direction, and that's
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: not a good thing. And so when I look at
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: the reasons behind what's going on, I think the first
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: and foremost reason has to do with the amount of
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: money being spent on media all over the state of Texas.
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: And we know that Paxton is behind in the fundraising department,
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: and I think we expected him to be behind in fundraising.
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: I think the numbers I saw were something on the
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: order of Tallarico for the last six months has raised
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: roughly $ 70 million, and Paxton's only raised $ 16. 5 million, but
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: keep in mind that, you know, Paxton had a primary
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: and a runoff to go through, and that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Wasn't over until June.
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: So he's only had, you know, he spent all that money,
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: and then he's, you know, essentially starting over again. But
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: it is a big problem and is becoming a bigger
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: problem as August goes. We go into August, we get
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: closer to September and October, and Paxton is falling behind
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: in the media and the fundraising department.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: The two are definitely linked together.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: So Paxton was actually interviewed on Maria Bartiromo's show on
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: Fox over the weekend. So let's play clip number three,
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: which I think really hits the nail on the head
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: when– Maria asked Paxton this question.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: So tell me about the Republicans in the Senate.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Are they helping you right now?
• 17:18
  Speaker 11: Are you in touch with Senate leadership?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: They've been very supportive.
• 17:22
  Speaker 23: I've talked to Senator Thune, I've talked to Senator Scott
• 17:25
  Speaker 23: and many others, been very supportive. They are planning on
• 17:29
  Speaker 23: spending money here is my understanding. I don't control that.
• 17:31
  Speaker 23: We can't necessarily coordinate with them. So I'm optimistic that
• 17:34
  Speaker 23: they'll come in soon because as we're raising money, we're
• 17:37
  Speaker 23: working our way back into October, which is where we
• 17:40
  Speaker 23: can spend money, and we're trying to work our way
• 17:41
  Speaker 23: back to September. But we need help now because James
• 17:44
  Speaker 23: Tallarico has been spending three or four million dollars a
• 17:47
  Speaker 23: week on TV for the last month.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: So I want to compete.
• 17:50
  Speaker 23: I want to be able to tell people exactly what
• 17:52
  Speaker 23: he believes, because I am convinced when Texas know that,
• 17:55
  Speaker 23: know those issues and know what he actually believes, he
• 17:58
  Speaker 23: will not be elected in the state of Texas.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Big, big problem.
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: We knew that Paxton was going to be behind in
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: the fundraising department primarily because the Cornyn supporters and the
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: big Cornyn donor base was not going to immediately or
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: easily just flip around after the contentious primary battle and
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: write a check to Ken Paxton. We knew that was
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: not going to happen. So we had this gap period
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: where Republicans have not come home yet to Paxton and
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: have not put any money behind Paxton yet. yet Tallarico
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: is not having that problem. He's outspending Paxton quite prominently
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: here in the state. So that gap has to close,
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: and Paxton cannot wait. Paxton's talking about raising money now
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: to be able to spend it in September.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: He needs to raise money now to be able to
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: spend it in August.
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: Now, most campaign folks will tell you, You need to
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: make sure you spend the most money, you know, in
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: October before early voting starts. And that's just kind of
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: campaign 101.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: But, you know, there is no way.
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: Paxton can afford to wait till October to start spending money.
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: So the question is, who's going to fill in this gap?
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: Who has hundreds of millions of dollars to spend?
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you that answer. And that is Donald Trump.
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: Who has hundreds of millions of dollars to spend, and
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: the Republican National Senate Campaign Committee, which spends money on
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: behalf of Republican candidates. Now, they supported John Cornyn, but
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: they know what's on the line.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Control of the U.S. Senate.
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: They need to step to the plate. And to all
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: those Cornyn supporters that didn't like writing a check to Paxton,
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: that don't want to write a check to Paxton, well,
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: you could help out by writing a check to the
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: because that many get split up amongst Republican candidates everywhere.
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: And if it makes you feel better, then fine, write
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: a check to them. But all the marbles are on
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: the table here, and we could lose everything in November.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Now, you may... like the feeling of being able to
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: say something.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: Like, we told you so, but it will not feel
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: very good in January, I can guarantee you, if we
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: walk out of here in November and Democrats have control
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: of the Senate. It's going to be a Herculean task
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: to maintain control of the House of Representatives. It is
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: a less Herculean task.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: And more doable... to.
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: Remain in control of the Senate as opposed to the House.
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: But I want to play this clip from Harry Etienne
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: from a couple of days ago. And let's play number one.
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: Harry Etienne is the pollster on CNN. I respect his judgment.
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: I think he does a good job of telling things straight.
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: even when the Democrats don't want to hear it.
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: This is the best looking polling for Democrats in the
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: Senate race since really the 20th century. You're going to
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: have to go back probably the late 80s.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: They won a Senate race.
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: Out there when it was Lloyd Benson winning in 1988.
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: Because just take a look here. This polling looks so
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: much different than it did eight years ago. You take
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: a look here, James Tallarico, the latest poll against Ken Paxton.
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: He's actually up by three points. Look at where the
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: race was between Beto O'Rourke and Ted Cruz at this
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: point in the 2018 cycle. Ted Cruz was a hit
• 21:51
  Speaker 11: by six. This is very different. The Democrat here is
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: doing nine points better. And what is supercharging that? Look
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: at this. Independents move from tie to plus 39 points
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: for James Tallarico. Independents, the name of the game, shifting
• 22:06
  Speaker 11: significantly to the left camp and supercharging James Tallarico. It
• 22:10
  Speaker 11: could be real. Every single time I look at the poll,
• 22:12
  Speaker 11: I'm going, hmm, this can't be right. This could be very,
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: very real. Democrats have a real shot in Texas. So
• 22:17
  Speaker 11: 26 different than 2018.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Ted Cruz, again, who.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Won, but was very, very close.
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: Less than three points. How is Ted Cruz different than Paxton?
• 22:27
  Speaker 11: How is Ted Cruz different than Ken Paxton? Simply put,
• 22:30
  Speaker 11: Ted Cruz is popular. Kemp Paxton is not popular at all.
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: That is, I think, one of the biggest differences in
• 22:36
  Speaker 11: this race. Take a look here. The GOP nominees, net favorability.
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: In July of 2018, Ted Cruz was eight points above water.
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: His favorable was eight points above his unfavorable rating. Look
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: at this side of the screen. Very different indeed. Kemp Paxton,
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: six points underwater with, get this, among independents, 47 points underwater.
• 22:54
  Speaker 11: No wonder, no wonder that you're seeing major issues for
• 22:58
  Speaker 11: Kemp Paxton in this race so far.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: So look, I'm not I'm not trying to be a
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: Debbie Downer here, but I am trying to wake people
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: up and not make an assumption that just because this
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: is Texas, a Democrat cannot win.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: A Democrat can win in Texas.
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: And it starts out looking the way this election looks,
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: which is Republicans sitting on their hands. There's no enthusiasm
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: amongst our base to turn. to get out there and
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: try to prevent Democrats from winning. Everybody knows what's at stake,
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: yet we're not getting the job done, and it's showing
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: up everywhere. And there's a big fundraising gap going on
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: here between Paxton and Tallarico that Tallarico is exploiting, and
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: that gap has to close.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: So the question becomes, you know, who's out.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: There that normally finances Republican candidates in Texas. Well, you
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: know who you are and you know whether or not
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: you have got out there and supported Paxton or the
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: Republican ticket. And if you haven't done so, we're looking
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: at a real form of disaster if we don't get
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: that changed around. So I think it's time to get
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: off the fence and and to get out there and
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: write that check because, you know, Tallarico has so much
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: money that the Houston Chronicle is reporting today that Tallarico
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: is writing checks out.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Of his campaign account to.
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: State House Democrats and the state House Campaign Committee to
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: elect Texas House Democrats.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Now, if you've got so.
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: Much money in your campaign war chest, that you can
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: afford to write checks for $ 250, 000 or $ 500, 000 to help
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: elect other Democrat candidates, then you're doing something right. And
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: you are very confident that you're going to have more
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: money to spend later on in this election cycle. And
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: that's exactly what Tallarico is doing. He's writing big checks
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: to House Democrats in the state of Texas.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: So wake up, people. I'm telling you.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: There's a big downdraft and a tidal ocean storm, a
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: tidal wave coming, and we've got to do something about that.
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: We've got to stop it now. You cannot wait till October.
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: Ken Paxton cannot wait till October. All right, folks, we're
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: going to take a quick break, and when we come back,
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: we'll get into a couple of the issues that I
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: think are causing this big downdraft.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Here in Texas and across the country.

  Speaker 8: Got my own little icon now on the.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Streaming service. We have that. Can we put that up,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: that little icon? Can we make it flash in front
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: of the screen? The Strew of the View. like a
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: little business card.
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: And of course, uh, if you want to join the conversation,
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: you can give us a call two, eight, one five, five, eight, five, seven, three,
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: eight or pound KSCV for our Verizon callers. You can
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: do it that way. Hey, you know, my favorite way
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: to listen now is a KSCV radio.com. And we had
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: this new app and you can just, you know, download it. Uh,
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: if it doesn't convert automatically, you can download it. And, uh,
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: It's got a live streaming button on it, or you
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: can just hit a listen button. And I connect it to,
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: I take my iPhone. I always connect to my car anyway.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: You know, when you're calling people, you know, you have
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: hands free. So it's connected by Bluetooth. So you can
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: just open that app and hit live stream or live listener.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: We have either choice.
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: So don't watch the show while you're driving. That's a
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: bad idea. So just listen to the show. When you're driving, ksevradio.com.
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: I use Twitter.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: You can use YouTube or one of the other things,
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: So we were getting into the whole subject of, I think,
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: what is dragging Republicans down. I was talking about the
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: monetary gap between Paxton and Tallarico and how a lot
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: of the big donors are holding off, not contributing to Paxton,
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: didn't like the primary contest.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: They don't want Paxton involved. I didn't want him to
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: be the nominee. They were all in for Cornyn.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: But I'm hoping that once they realize what is at stake,
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: which is control of the U.S. Senate, because I fundamentally
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: believe that without a Republican win in the U.S. Senate
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: here in Texas, that Republicans will not win the Senate.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Nationwide. We will lose the Senate.
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: And even though the Democrats need, I think, to win
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: seven out of eight, if I'm not mistaken, or is
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: it six out of seven?
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: I can't remember. We have the tiebreaker.
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: So six out of seven of the toss-up seats, one
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: of which is in play is in Michigan. We'll get
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: to that in a minute because, you know, the polling
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: is pretty bad for– what's the guy's name?
• 32:19
  Speaker 16: You know what?
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: He said don't pronounce his name.
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: Right. That guy who won the Democrat socialist.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, him, him. He said, so I just call him
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: the Hamas supporter.
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: And so the Hamas guy, he he's going to have
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: some trouble in Michigan. In fact, I got Harry ETM
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: talking about that race. We'll play that clip in a minute.
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: But I did want to talk about some of the
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: issues there and the way we're dealing with them. The
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: biggest issue, of course, is the economy and. the fact
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: that most Americans do not support the war and what
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: Trump has done. And when it comes to the Middle East,
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: what I think he's failed to do is convince voters
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: that higher gas prices and all the knockoff effects that
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: they are feeling are worth what they're paying, that we
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: will eventually get the benefit out of it, and that
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: we have prevented something really bad from happening. And most
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: politicians do not get credit for preventing bad things from happening,
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: you know, bad things like.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Nuclear weapons or war and things like that.
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: Most of the time what happens is in politics there's
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: an event, something bad happens, and then politicians react to
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: it and they either solve it or they fix it
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: or they don't. And if you went into this election
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: in 2024 when Trump was elected and you asked voters
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: who was better at dealing with Iran, Trump would probably– well,
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: I know for a fact that Trump would win that
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: debate by 26 points over Kamala Harris. And he was
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: better– American people, American voters felt he was much better
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: qualified than Kamala Harris.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Now, they've turned against the war.
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: They've been against the war from the very beginning. I
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: think that's the failure on the part of Trump and
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: all Republicans in leadership to convince the American people that
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: what they are paying in higher gas prices, in higher
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: prices overall, is worth it and is worth the war,
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: is worth paying that in order.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: To prevent bad things from happening.
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: Now, you've probably seen a lot of the justifications that
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: were initially rolled out, you know, a 47-year regime that's
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: killed Americans left and right, yet it's vague on details
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: and it's vague on Trump going back and forth about
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: what is, you know, it's over, it's not over, we've won,
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: we have an agreement, prices come down, they go up.
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: You know, I think that it's been a complete waste
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: of time hurt his credibility, hurt Republicans' credibility. There's no
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: such thing as a memorandum of understanding with the Iranians.
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: There simply is. And you either do it or you
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: don't do it, and you either have to stand up
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: and be counted or you're not.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Or there's another saying about something in a pot.
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: So at the end of the day, what's the one
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: about BS walks and somebody talks?
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: You know, I got a million of them, you know.
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: All hat, no cattle. I like that one because I'm
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: from Texas. Nobody cares anymore. The Iranians don't care. The
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: American people don't care. So it's time to move on
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: and just show them what you can do. And I
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: fundamentally believe that the price we are paying, the price
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: we have paid in both money and higher gas prices,
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: And unfortunately and tragically, in the loss of American military personnel,
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: I think that they have performed a great service for
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: this country. And they have changed the entire dynamic of
• 36:28
  Speaker 8: what was the historical context of what was likely to
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: happen over the next 10 or 20 years. And we'll
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: see how this eventually plays out. But whether or not
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: the Democrats want to admit this, whether or not the
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: media and their democratic allies want to admit this, and
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: whether or not the Iranian mullahs want to admit this,
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: we have the upper hand, and I'll tell you why.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: That blockade, if.
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: We prevent Iran from exporting any oil and prevent them
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: from importing and exporting any other trade and goods that
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: are likely to.
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: Help their economy, we cut off their source of money
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: that they use to maintain their regime. That's how they
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: pay the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: They sell oil.
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: They sell it despite the sanctions that are imposed on
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: them internationally because the sanctions are very leaky. And they
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: take that money and they maintain and they bolster the regime.
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: They pay the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps with it. They
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: pay the secret police with it. They pay the religious
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: police with it. And once it's cut off, and that
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: includes eliminating their ability to sell oil with that shadow
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: tanker fleet and cutting off their main export and import
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: control points, they will run out of money and their
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: oil storage will fill up and they'll be shutting in production.
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: And once we get to that point and they get
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: to that point, They will come to the table. Now,
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: they won't come to the table and surrender. Nobody is
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: going to surrender. But we will have a much better
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: deal once we have all the pressure. And when we
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: have all the pressure, it'll be six months from now
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: or eight months from now. But we will have eventually
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: all the leverage. And it's just a question of time.
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: The question really is, are the American people patient enough?
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: Right now they're voting no, and I think it's because
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: we haven't sold it. So let's go to the phones
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: and let's grab, who's that, Mark? Mark, appreciate you holding. Lucas,
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: why don't you grab him? Mark, appreciate you holding. Thanks
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: for joining us on The Voice of Texas.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Mark.
• 38:56
  Speaker 20: Yeah, you hear me, Stu?
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: And it's strew and not stew, but go ahead.
• 39:01
  Speaker 28: Oh.
• 39:02
  Speaker 20: Sorry about that, Stru.
• 39:03
  Speaker 25: Okay.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Have at it.
• 39:05
  Speaker 20: I want to make a comment. You were talking about
• 39:08
  Speaker 20: the lack of enthusiasm in the base right now, particularly
• 39:11
  Speaker 20: in the state of Texas, when it comes to Paxton.
• 39:14
  Speaker 20: And I think what's going on, I mean, you know,
• 39:17
  Speaker 20: we expected a lot when we went into Trump. When
• 39:23
  Speaker 20: he became president in 25, he had the House, he
• 39:26
  Speaker 20: had the Senate. And you look back, very little has
• 39:29
  Speaker 20: been done. legislatively. I mean, they got the big, beautiful
• 39:32
  Speaker 20: bill signed, and that's been about it. You know, we
• 39:36
  Speaker 20: expect he ran on election integrity. He ran on eradicating
• 39:44
  Speaker 20: waste and fraud. But he's gotten no help, particularly from
• 39:48
  Speaker 20: the Senate. Republican senators. I mean, this whole emphasis on
• 39:56
  Speaker 20: the attempt to get voting integrity with requirement to show citizenship,
• 40:02
  Speaker 20: requirement to show, you know, to prevent non-citizens from voting,
• 40:08
  Speaker 20: the whole movement of the Save America Act has gone nowhere.
• 40:11
  Speaker 20: And that's with a majority Senate of Republicans. I mean,
• 40:14
  Speaker 20: we've got We got two Republican senators that flat out
• 40:18
  Speaker 20: didn't vote for his attorney general last week. So, I mean,
• 40:22
  Speaker 20: you can't convince people to get excited about a Senate
• 40:25
  Speaker 20: position when they see for the past two years a
• 40:28
  Speaker 20: Senate that's in there right now doesn't even support Donald Trump.
• 40:32
  Speaker 25: They really don't.
• 40:32
  Speaker 20: I mean, and the other thing you think about the
• 40:34
  Speaker 20: financing that's going on with these races in Texas, they
• 40:38
  Speaker 20: spent over $ 100 million trying to get Cornyn to defeat Paxton.
• 40:43
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:43
  Speaker 20: And now how much is left over to support Paxton?
• 40:46
  Speaker 20: I don't think he's getting help from Thune.
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: Well, that's what that's what Paxton. In fact, we just
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: played that clip. If you hang on, I'll play it
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: again in the top of the hour. But Paxton was
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: saying in a national interview on Fox over the weekend
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: that they haven't started kicking in yet, but he believes
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: they will. And he's only basically working backwards and got
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: himself funded for October. And I'm saying if he's got
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: October and he doesn't have September, He needs to be.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Worrying about August right now. So they need to come in.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: That's how I started this show. So they absolutely need
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: to come in.
• 41:23
  Speaker 20: They do, but I still don't think he has the
• 41:25
  Speaker 20: support of a good chunk of senators. I don't think
• 41:28
  Speaker 20: Thune wanted him. I know he didn't. He was– Cornyn
• 41:33
  Speaker 20: was his boy, and they put in $ 100 million against Paxton, right?
• 41:39
  Speaker 15: Yep.
• 41:39
  Speaker 20: So there's probably some still black bad blood there where
• 41:43
  Speaker 20: you got guys like that really don't want support, Paxton.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what I think.
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: That's what I'm concerned about is somehow that that spills over.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: But, you know, these guys are realists in Washington, too.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: And they may and we may view them as more.
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: Of like the institutional Republican establishment because they've been there
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: for decades.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: And, you know, I won't get into that.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: But.
• 42:06
  Speaker 8: They do add and subtract, and they do know that
• 42:12
  Speaker 8: if they lose a Senate seat in Texas, it'll be
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: a disaster. So I think they will come in and
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: they will support Paxton, but they can't wait too much
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: longer because I think Paxton, he's peddling uphill.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: There's this big downdraft against Trump.
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: Lack of enthusiasm, we talked about it, whereas the Democrats
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: have a lot of enthusiasm. I mean, this is like,
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: I don't want to compare the Democrat Socialists to the
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: Tea Party, but in a lot of respects, this is
• 42:48
  Speaker 8: sort of the antithesis of what we experienced in 08
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: and 2010 and a little bit more in 2012 with
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: the Tea Party, where we felt like it was just
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: time to do something. And everybody got up at once
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: and said, you know, let's go to the polls again.
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: and we were able to stop Obama. We had just
• 43:06
  Speaker 8: gotten steamrolled on Obamacare. We were paying other people's mortgage payments.
• 43:12
  Speaker 8: We hated it, and so we got out of our
• 43:15
  Speaker 8: chairs and we did something. Democrats, they've got all that
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: fire right now. We're sitting back and trying to hold
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: back the floods, which is not a fun position to
• 43:24
  Speaker 8: be in, but I think once it dawns on everybody
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: that the Democrat socialists, they are ascendant in the Democrat Party.
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: And all these things, you know, all these wacky ideas
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: that they have, everything from, you know, banning Thanksgiving to,
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: and we'll play that clip later, banning Thanksgiving to, you know,
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: getting rid.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: Of the, you know, D.C.
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: And Puerto Rico, four more Democrat states, packing Supreme Court,
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: you know, all the stuff they want to do to
• 43:59
  Speaker 8: rig the rules so that we never, ever, have another chance.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: To win again.
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: Once people begin to realize that that's what you're going
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: to get, if they win in November, then I think
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: we'll start to see Republicans come home. Right now, they're
• 44:16
  Speaker 8: just kind of sitting on the sidelines and not paying attention.
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: But while we fall farther behind, I might add. So
• 44:27
  Speaker 8: I'm trying to perform a public service here. And I'm
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: trying to wake people up a little bit and say, look,
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: we're falling behind. We have to do something now. And
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: when you see Tallarico writing big campaign checks out of
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: his campaign account, that means he's not worried about October money.
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: He thinks he can write a check now to members
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: of the Texas House and win more Texas House seats,
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: and that'll help him win more Democrat seats because the
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: person that's going to vote for a Texas House position
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: is also going to vote for Tallarico.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, last chance.
• 45:00
  Speaker 8: A couple more words, and I've got to go. I've
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: got to take a break, but finish this out.
• 45:04
  Speaker 20: Last comment, and then I'll let you go. We've got
• 45:07
  Speaker 20: to– Paxton's campaign in the Republican Party has got to
• 45:11
  Speaker 20: do a really good job of letting everyone know who
• 45:14
  Speaker 20: Tallarico really is.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 45:16
  Speaker 20: Because you go back and look at his message from
• 45:20
  Speaker 20: him as a state representative, he's insane.
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and I've got one more thing for you, and
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: that is Paxton has– to put the Democrat socialist agenda
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: around Tallarico's neck.
• 45:33
  Speaker 25: Yes, 100%.
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: And we cannot let him convince voters that I'm not
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: those people and I'm not going to vote with those
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: people and I'm from Texas and I'm normal and I'm
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: a moderate and I'm not going to vote for statehood
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: and I'm not going to vote to back.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: Bull corn on that.
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: He is absolutely going to vote for those things, and
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: that's what you're going to get.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, he cannot get a pass on that. Cannot.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: Nope. Nope.
• 46:00
  Speaker 28: Agreed.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: All right, Mark.

• 49:52
  Speaker 3: Lucas, how can I argue with this one?
• 50:08
  Speaker 11: I knew.
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: I knew.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: Was it Sam Moore? Sammy Moore?
• 50:12
  Speaker 10: I think so.
• 50:13
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: That's right. And welcome back to The Voice of Texas.
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: Ben Struzan, The Strew with View 7 for the X-Man,
• 50:24
  Speaker 8: taking your calls and comments. So give us a call,
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: 281-558-5738 or pound KSCV for our Verizon callers. I want
• 50:33
  Speaker 8: to try to wrap this up, and I apologize for
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: rambling earlier.
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: But I want to get my point across.
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: And I think that where Trump has made a mistake
• 50:43
  Speaker 8: and where Republican leadership can do better is by convincing
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: the American people that the higher gas prices, the higher inflation,
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: the pain that they are feeling, what they are paying for,
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: that it's worth it because it is worth it to
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. It's worth it
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: preventing Iran from killing Americans. It's worth it to prevent
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: Iran from being the largest state sponsor of terror in
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: the world. And right now, Americans don't believe that it's
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: worth it. And I think that's the main problem. And
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: instead of trying to convince Americans that, well, the war
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: is going to be over tomorrow, when you and I
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: and everybody else knows it's not, or that gas prices
• 51:32
  Speaker 8: are going to be dropping immediately– as soon as the
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: Strait of Hormuz opens up. And by the way, there's
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: a lot better things we can do to get gas
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: prices down. We can produce more. That'll get gas prices down.
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: We can convoy ships. That'll get gas prices down. So
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: that's in the cards if the administration chooses to do it.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: But what they.
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: Really need to be doing is to convince the American people, you,
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: the voters out there, that the prices that you are paying,
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: the higher prices, that you are paying for everything, they
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: are worth it because you are preventing something really terrifying
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: from occurring. And the Democrats don't think it's worth it.
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: And I'd be willing to have that debate with a
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: Democrat any day of the week. So if Tallarico and
• 52:22
  Speaker 8: Paxton want to debate and have a debate about whether
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: or not higher gas prices and the events in the
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: Middle East and what we're doing there, are worth the
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: higher gas prices. I think Paxton should have that debate
• 52:37
  Speaker 8: rather than, I don't want to say the word apologizing,
• 52:40
  Speaker 8: but rather than trying to convince people that it's just
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: kind of short-lived and it'll all be over soon and
• 52:48
  Speaker 8: it'll all be back to where it was before. And
• 52:52
  Speaker 8: even if those things occur, they will still end up
• 52:55
  Speaker 8: with a bad taste in their mouth come November. So
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: I think that's a better way for us to go
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: is by showing folks that the higher prices they are
• 53:05
  Speaker 8: paying are preventing something really terrifying from occurring. All right,
• 53:09
  Speaker 8: Ben Struzan taking your calls and comments. When we come
• 53:12
  Speaker 8: out of the break, join the conversation, 281-558-5738 or pound
• 53:17

  Speaker 33: News this hour from Town Hall. I'm Pete Peters in Washington.
• 54:01
  Speaker 33: Houthi rebels have targeted the coastal Makkah and the central
• 54:04
  Speaker 33: province of Marib with missiles and drones.
• 54:07
  Speaker 34: The Houthis have attacked the Yemen government port city of
• 54:10
  Speaker 34: Makkah on the Red Sea coast and other areas of
• 54:13
  Speaker 34: the country, deepening fears over threats to key shipping routes
• 54:17
  Speaker 34: and a potential return to civil war in the region.
• 54:20
  Speaker 34: With the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut by Iran, there's
• 54:23
  Speaker 34: been a renewed focus on the Red Sea and the
• 54:26
  Speaker 34: Bab el-Mandeb Strait at Yemen's southern tip. An alternate route
• 54:30
  Speaker 34: for Saudi Arabia to ship its oil to open oceans,
• 54:33
  Speaker 34: Iran's foreign minister has underscored Tehran's stance that the Strait
• 54:37
  Speaker 34: of Hormuz cannot be reopened until the U.S. ends its
• 54:40
  Speaker 34: blockade of Iranian ports and meets other demands. I'm Charles
• 54:45
  Speaker 34: de la Desma.
• 54:45
  Speaker 33: Authorities in Yemen now say at least six people were
• 54:48
  Speaker 33: killed when Iran-backed Houthi rebels fired missiles on a vessel
• 54:52
  Speaker 33: in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. The deadly vessel strike came
• 54:56
  Speaker 33: amid renewed attacks on government-controlled areas in Yemen. One Arab
• 55:01
  Speaker 33: country says that it is abolishing the death penalty.
• 55:04
  Speaker 32: Lebanon's parliament has abolished the death penalty, becoming the first
• 55:09
  Speaker 32: Arab country to replace it with life imprisonment and aggravated
• 55:13
  Speaker 32: hard labor in a move that Lebanon's justice minister calls
• 55:16
  Speaker 32: a historic step. Cash-strapped Lebanon is also debating a controversial
• 55:22
  Speaker 32: general amnesty law, the largest since the end of its
• 55:26
  Speaker 32: 15-year civil war in 1990, that could reduce sentences or
• 55:29
  Speaker 32: even release convicted militants and drug dealers, with some exceptions
• 55:34
  Speaker 32: from the country's overcrowded prisons.

  Speaker 33: Here's the Wall Street Business Report.
• 56:57
  Speaker 36: Trump Media is scrapping some of its new businesses to
• 57:00
  Speaker 36: head off potential losses.
• 57:01
  Speaker 32: The parent of Truth Social says it is abandoning several
• 57:05
  Speaker 32: new businesses, crypto, online betting, and financial services to refocus
• 57:10
  Speaker 32: on building up its social media platform. Part of that
• 57:13
  Speaker 32: effort is a new paid service for Wall Street traders
• 57:16
  Speaker 32: who want sneak peeks at the president's market-moving posts. Parent
• 57:19
  Speaker 32: company Trump Media and Technology detailed its new plans Monday
• 57:23
  Speaker 32: after posting higher losses in the last quarter.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: I'm Lisa Dwyer.
• 57:27
  Speaker 36: Higher interest rates and high prices conspired to slow the
• 57:31
  Speaker 36: sale of previously occupied U.S. homes again in July. Record
• 57:34
  Speaker 36: high prices and the highest mortgage rates in more than
• 57:37
  Speaker 36: a year proving to be insurmountable for some would-be buyers
• 57:41
  Speaker 36: and sellers. At the close on Wall Street, the Dow
• 57:43
  Speaker 36: was down about 160 points, the Nasdaq off by 70.

• 58:34
  Speaker 2: From KSEV, here's political contributor Ben Strewsand.
• 58:39
  Speaker 8: Most polling shows that Republicans are going to have a
• 58:42
  Speaker 8: tough time winning majorities in both houses of Congress in November.
• 58:47
  Speaker 8: Voters blame Trump for inflation and believe that many of
• 58:50
  Speaker 8: the necessities they need to purchase have become unaffordable. Two
• 58:54
  Speaker 8: out of three voters don't believe that preventing Iran from
• 58:58
  Speaker 8: building a nuclear weapon is worth the higher gas prices
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: that they are paying. Voters never give a president credit
• 59:05
  Speaker 8: for preventing bad things like a nuclear war from happening.
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: President Trump should realize by now that the Islamic Republic
• 59:12
  Speaker 8: will never agree to a deal that results in a
• 59:15
  Speaker 8: Trump win. The mullahs read the polls and see the
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: domestic political pressure to end the war. It's part of
• 59:21
  Speaker 8: their strategy. We should stop.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: Chasing a bad deal.
• 59:25
  Speaker 8: This does not mean that we should resume unlimited airstrikes,
• 59:28
  Speaker 8: but rather targeted decapitation strikes against their leadership, as the
• 59:33
  Speaker 8: Israelis used effectively. If Iranian leaders won't cut a deal,
• 59:38
  Speaker 8: then let's.
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: Get new ones.
• 59:40
  Speaker 8: The real leverage we have against Iran is economic. We
• 59:44
  Speaker 8: destroyed what Iran took decades to build, their defense industrial
• 59:48
  Speaker 8: base used to manufacture drones, missiles, and nuclear weapons. Inflation
• 59:54
  Speaker 8: in Iran is running at 40%. The blockade collapsed the
• 59:59
  Speaker 8: revenue stream used by the Revolutionary Guard Corps, their security services,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 8: and all the government infrastructure. If our blockade is allowed
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 8: to continue and not stopped by Democrats... and a few
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 8: lame-duck Republicans in Congress, we can eliminate the mullahs' leverage
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 8: over its people. We don't need regime change to pressure
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 8: them into a better deal for us.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 17: Just perseverance.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 8: Intercepting what leaks out via Iran's shadow tanker fleet will
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 8: speed the process.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: The best guess is this pressure will take six months
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: to show results, right around the time of the elections.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: I'm Ben Strewsand, and that's my view.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: Ben Strewsand, only on AM700 KSEV.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 15: Thank goodness our weather experts are providing us with hurricane
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 15: tracking charts and reminding us to be prepared for big storms.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 15: But they overlook one very important thing, the damage and
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 15: destruction from broken limbs and uprooted trees. Call Lewis Flory
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 15: at Ability Tree Experts today. My friend for nearly 40 years.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 15: At 281-441-4179 and let him explain how this problem can
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 15: be minimized with professional pruning. You see, when the tree
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 15: canopy is too thick and dense, the tree can be
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 15: completely blown over and tree limbs broken, causing terrible damage
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 15: to the tree and maybe your home. Where tree limbs break?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 15: Sap will ooze, and that attracts harmful insects. So you
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 15: need to call Louis Flory today at 281-441-4179 and have
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 15: his experts come out and professionally prune your trees to
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 15: withstand sudden storms that are so frequent this time of year.
• 1:01:42

  Speaker 7: And now, your host.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 6: I believe this is going to be our finest hour.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: Chris X.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 8: And welcome back to the Voice of Texas. Thanks for
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 8: joining us on a Tuesday drive home afternoon. Ben Struzan,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 8: the Stru with a View, joining you this evening and
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 8: taking the place of Chris X. He'll be back tomorrow.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 8: Had to attend some family matters and we hope everything's
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 8: okay with Chris and he'll be back tomorrow. So I'm
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 8: just filling in for a day, having some fun with
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 8: All our listeners, as always, if you want to join
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 8: the conversation, give us a call.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: 281-558-5738.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 8: Our pound KSEV for our Verizon callers. I was talking
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 8: a little bit in the first hour about the polling,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 8: how bad it is. We're kind of paddling uphill. We're
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 8: feeling it in Texas. We're watching Tallarico get a couple-point
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 8: lead on Paxton. Again, it's not the overall number, like 45, 47.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 8: Don't worry about that. What you got to look at
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 8: is which way the winds are blowing and the winds
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 8: blowing in Tallarico's favor. And the reason, I think, is
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 8: because of all the money he's spending and the lack
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 8: of money that Paxton has. And I was really trying
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 8: to make an appeal to the Republican donor base to
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 8: try to step to the plate here. And if you
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 8: don't want to help out Paxton directly, then you write
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 8: a check to the Republican Senate Campaign Committee or another
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 8: PAC of your choice. because we cannot afford to lose
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 8: the Senate seat in Texas, because if that occurs, well,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 8: it will be bad news, and I think Republicans will
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 8: lose the Senate overall. Now I'm going to go to
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 8: the phone. So Tom, just hang on for a second.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 8: Do we have the clip from Harry DTN on the
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 8: Michigan Senate that I sent? Because I do want to
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 8: play this because as you are probably aware, about 10
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 8: days ago, Michigan Democrat voters elected a Democrat socialist. He said,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 8: if I don't know how to pronounce his name, don't
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 8: pronounce his name. So I'm not going to try to
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 8: pronounce his name. But he's this Hamas guy running for
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 8: the– as a Democrat in Michigan. And so Harry did
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 8: some polling on that race, and he was on CNN
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 8: talking about And so let's play that clip.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 11: Once El Sayed became the favorite for that nomination, and
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 11: now that he's actually become the nominee, Democratic chances have
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 11: fallen dramatically. You can see it right here, cash and
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 11: prediction odds. Take a look here, chance to win the
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 11: Michigan Senate race. You go back to April at this
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 11: point in the month, Dems had a 79% chance.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 17: Look how that.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: Number has fallen dramatically.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 17: Down we go into Lake Michigan.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 11: Now we're talking about just a 59% chance, while Mike Rogers,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 11: the Republican nominee, look at this, 21% chance, basically doubling
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 11: now up to a 41% chance. So the people who
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 11: are putting their money where.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 10: Their mouths are.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 11: Quite skeptical at this point, or at least significantly more skeptical,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 11: that Democrats will be able to hold on to the
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 11: Michigan Senate seat with El-Sayed as the nominee, though I
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 11: still should note he is the slight favorite here, but
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 11: given Michigan being a purple state and given where Trump's
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 11: approval rating is, I think it's quite surprising that his
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 11: numbers are not significantly higher.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 8: So that's that CNN pollster I like to quote occasionally,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 8: and I think he does a pretty good job even
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 8: telling CNN the bad news, although CNN is sort of
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 8: in the tank for Democrats and supportive of all their
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 8: media allies, but we cannot.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: Trade Texas for Michigan, folks. It doesn't work that way.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 8: If we can pull this out in Michigan, we still
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 8: have to retain Texas, and right now we got a problem.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: So I was talking a little bit about the reasons.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: I think it has to.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 8: Do with the way that Republicans and Trump are dealing
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 8: with what's going on in the Middle East and all
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 8: the knockoff effects in terms of higher gas prices and
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 8: everything else. Let's find out what some of our listeners think. Lucas,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 8: I'm going to press this button and hope Tom comes
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 8: on the phone. Tom, appreciate you joining us on The
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 8: Voice of Texas.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Tom.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir. Okay, I guess you pushed the right button.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 13: I did. I, too, have.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: A view about Iran, even though I'm not as true.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: I believe the only solution to this problem is the
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: mostly extermination of the IRGC. In other words, you cannot
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: negotiate with these people. The only way they will behave
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: is when they are dead.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 8: So, Tom, let me just chime in real quick with you. And,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 8: you know, we have these true views.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: You may have heard them.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 8: I did this minute and a half, two-minute commentary, and
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 8: I write. And one of the points I make is
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 8: that one of the most effective solutions is in dealing
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 8: with the IRGC is if you don't like the leadership,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 8: let's get new leaders. And I agree with you in
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 8: totality that I don't think widespread bombing campaign works. I
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 8: don't think attacking infrastructure works.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 8: Imposing those costs on the Iranian people, I don't think
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 8: we should be doing that. But I do think you
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 8: have these maniacs who are in power who They are
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 8: homicidal maniacs who have a proven history and track record
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 8: of killing Americans. And I feel no sympathy or shame
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 8: if we go after them Israeli style.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: So I think I agree with you. They have a
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: whole new crop of leaders in there.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 8: Let's just go in and make it our duty to
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 8: take them out. And between that and the blockade, I
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 8: think we'll get a much better deal and they'll be
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 8: much more willing to negotiate.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Well, may I have another maybe?
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: No, absolutely. Take all you want here.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: I have a proposal for my limited amount of information,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: of course, but I believe one million care packages might
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: do it. And what these consist of is one AK-47
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: rifle on one parachute with 200 rounds dropped simultaneously in
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: all areas where there is severe unrest among the So basically,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: give them the weapons to help them defend themselves. You know,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: that's a Ronald Reagan move, and it worked in Afghanistan
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: in the 80s, and it's not a bad idea. And
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: I think the difference... There's been some talk about how
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: apparently they just dropped a bunch of pallet loads of
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: rifles to the Kurds, and they just kept them. But
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: if you drop these things all over like a snowstorm,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: like manna from heaven, then the right people are going
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: to get those rifles.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I don't know what the correct delivery method is,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 8: but I think in terms of your idea about arming
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 8: the Iranian opposition, I am all for it.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: And again... I don't.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 8: Think most Americans appreciate or understand the character of the
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 8: people that we're dealing with. And it is all about character.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 8: And if you give a bunch of homicidal maniacs who
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 8: want to achieve martyrdom in the name of Allah, if
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 8: you let them have nuclear weapons, it's an exceedingly bad idea.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 8: So you have to convince the American people that when
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 8: they are paying higher gas prices and everything costs more,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 8: that is worth it, that it's worth it for them
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 8: to pay that to prevent these bad things from happening.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 8: And so that's the failure of the Trump administration.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: And Republican leaders. They have not convinced the American people
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: that it's worth it. And I'm sorry, go ahead.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have lost their little
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: bit of their enthusiasm for Donald Trump, who I'm a
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of his, but I'm not a worshiper.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: I don't go to that point. But I think many
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: people kind of believe that he's called wolf too many
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: times on this Iranian thing.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. It's obvious.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: If something is resolved, that's going to help also going
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: to help the election.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 8: Look, I would not count on anything getting resolved because
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 8: the Iranian, the mullahs, they read the polls. They know
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 8: what the domestic political score is. They are never going
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 8: to hand Trump any kind of a settlement between now
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 8: and the election.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: It's a complete waste of time.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 8: So the best thing you can do is go the
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 8: other way, max the pressure, but don't go in with
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 8: a massive bombing campaign on water plants and electric utility.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 8: You just have to hit them where it hurts, and
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 8: that is their leadership.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: And economically, really. And it's not going to happen before
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: the election. It's just not.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I would think that's... The other ways are going
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: to take too much time, and then somebody else will
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: be the president, and it will be just kicking the
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: can down the road again.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 8: Well, I think if you measure it in a two-month
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 8: or three-month time frame, you're right. If you measure it
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 8: in the space of a year or two, probably not.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 8: But I'm not talking about a war, okay? I know
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 8: it looks like a war, but it's a very low-level.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: Kind of war, what I'm talking about. I mean, if
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: the Iranians and their.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 8: Allies, the Houthis— and by the way, one of the things
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 8: that needs to happen is that the Houthis, who are
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 8: isolated on the Arabian Peninsula and border Saudi Arabia on
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 8: the Red Sea, that Joe Biden allowed to capture that
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 8: important piece of real estate— If the Saudis ever grow
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 8: a pair, they'll invade Yemen and take them out and
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 8: eliminate one of the Iranian key allies, and that would
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 8: be another death blow to the Iranian regime.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: There's no way the.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 8: Saudis should let them dictate what's going on in the
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 8: Red Sea. But maybe that's a conversation for another day.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: The whole thing was complex, but thank you anyway for
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: letting me make my suggestions. I know you've got limited
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: time for each caller, so I guess I'll let it go.
• 1:12:55

• 1:12:57
  Speaker 8: All right, folks, we'll take the rest of your calls
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 8: and comments when we come back. And we'll talk a
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 8: little bit about what's going on in Wisconsin. And then, boy,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 8: I don't know, but you better get ready for one
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 8: of the biggest brawls, one of the biggest sporting events

• 1:15:10
  Speaker 15: tracking charts and reminding us to be prepared for big storms.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 15: But they overlook one very important thing, the damage and
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 15: destruction from broken limbs and uprooted trees. Call Louis Flory
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 15: at Ability Tree Experts today. My friend for nearly 40 years.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 15: At 281-441-4179 and let him explain how this problem can
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 15: be minimized with professional pruning. You see, when the tree
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 15: canopy is too thick and dense, the tree can be
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 15: completely blown over and tree limbs broken, causing terrible damage
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 15: to the tree and maybe your home. Where tree limbs break,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 15: sap will ooze, and that attracts harmful insects. So you
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 15: need to call Louis Flory today at 281-441-4179 and have
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 15: his experts come out and professionally prune your trees to
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 15: withstand sudden storms that are so frequent this time of year.

• 1:16:24
  Speaker 25: we do here on the Backyard Bay Radio Program is
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 25: talk about your backyards. And this time of year, wow,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 25: it's so hard not to just spend all your time
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 25: out in the Backyard Bay. And I know sometimes you
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 25: have questions. That's why we do the Backyard Bay radio program,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 25: to get you good, solid answers to any kind of
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 25: questions that you may have concerning your swimming pools. Or
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 25: I'm looking to build a new swimming pool. Join me
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 25: this weekend for the Backyard Bay radio program, now at
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 25: our new time, every Saturday morning at 9 a.m., right
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 25: here on The Voice.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: And now, back to Chris X Radio on The Voice
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: of Texas.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 8: What is this, some kind of Saturday Night Fever thing
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 8: going on here, Lucas?
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know where you got that one. How about
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: a little Van Halen or something?
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 8: All right, folks, welcome back to The Voice of Texas.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 8: Ben Struzan, the strew with the view, subbing for the X-Men.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 8: He's taking care of some family business today, but he'll
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 8: be back tomorrow and sitting back in the seat. I'm
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 8: just trying to fill in and do as good a
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 8: job as he does. And we've been talking a little
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 8: bit about Iran and how to message it and why
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 8: I think we're losing this public debate about what's going
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 8: on in the Middle East. And it's the Democrats have
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 8: framed it about affordability. And I think there's something much
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 8: more deeper and much more important than just affordability, and
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 8: that is preventing something terrible and horrible from happening and
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 8: in some cases continuing to happen. And I mean the
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 8: death of Americans because the Iranian regime and the mullahs
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 8: are really good at killing Americans. They've killed a lot
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 8: of Americans over the last 47 years. So I have
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 8: no sympathy for them. And I am not in the
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 8: category of those who believe. that if you just leave
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 8: these people alone that they won't bother you and that
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 8: they will just go on their merry way and resort
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 8: to peaceful and non-life-threatening schemes. So Anyway, let's take a
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 8: couple of quick calls. Is that Doc on line three? Lucas,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 8: grab him for me. All right, Doc, appreciate you joining
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 8: me on The Voice of Texas.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Doc. Do we got him?
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: I'm here.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Yes, please.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, I'm just following up on what you're talking
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 6: about with Attorney General Paxton's race for the United States Senate,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 6: just as a reminder, if we lose that Senate race
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 6: and they take over the control of the Senate, the
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 6: Senate is the one place where the trial will be
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 6: held for the impeachments on President Trump. And we all
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 6: know that the House of Representatives have impeachment orders already
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 6: drawn up. They're just waiting for the opportunity to introduce it.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 6: And he will be impeached if that happens, and then
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 6: he'll go over to the Senate for the trials. And
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 6: there are probably no way to stop it then if
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 6: they have control of the Senate. And we'd end up
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 6: losing the presidency right along with the Senate and the House.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 8: Well, let me just add a couple of caveats in there.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 8: First of all, in the Senate, it takes 67 to
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 8: convict a president in an impeachment before he would be
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 8: removed from office. And if that were to occur, which
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 8: I do not believe they will ever get the votes
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 8: for that to occur, but I've been wrong before. and
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 8: then it would go to J.D.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 25: Vance.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: But then we'd have an election.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 8: In 28, and who knows what would happen then.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 3: So I just wanted to kind of clarify, but go ahead,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: please make your point.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 6: No, you're talking about chaos. So if you want to
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 6: upend the economy in this country, let's put the president
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 6: on trial and see what happens to his economy. It'll
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 6: be the most unfortunate thing we've experienced in our lifetimes.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: It just can't happen.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I agree with you completely. And I just don't
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 8: want to see us lose the Senate. The race in Texas,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 8: the prediction markets, which are binary choices, win, lose, win, lose,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 8: not by how much win, lose, but they still are
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 8: showing or the people, the betting is still on a
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 8: Paxton victory.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: So that's, but it's narrowing. It keeps narrowing every week.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 8: And I think a lot of that has to do
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 8: with the media and the money and what's being spent
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 8: here and the lack of response by Paxton. And we
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 8: have to do a better job of defining Palo Rico
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 8: and tying the socialist agenda around him like a boat anchor.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 8: And anybody that believes that he is not going to
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 8: support some of these nutty, quacky socialist policy ideas– uh, that, well,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 8: they are completely wrong. And in fact, uh, I'm going
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 8: to bring, uh, Craig Collins in right now, uh, because
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 8: he's got some, uh, wacky, crazy, uh, Democrat socialist ideas.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: It was funny.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 8: Uh, Craig, Craig does the show after Chris X, his,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 8: his show starts at six o'clock. And so I said, well,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 8: just come on a little early. And Craig, I, is
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 8: your mic on? You might have to hit the button.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: Let's get it on.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 10: And, um, Still– there we go. Now we got it.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 10: Now we're winning.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 8: All right. And so I sent out this email to
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 8: you and Chris X, and I said, hey, let's get
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 8: a sort of this montage of crazy, wacky, Democrat, socialist
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 8: candidate comments.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: So that people can hear what they support and oppose.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: And you had already done that. I didn't hear it.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 3: I've never heard it before, but you're going to bring
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: it and play it for me, right?
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 37: Yeah, you said that you wanted all three together. So
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 37: I had done this while filling in for Chris Salcedo
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 37: last week and then on my show. I call it
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 37: the top three Democratic socialists of the day. We can
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 37: do it every single day, but here's one.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 8: And we have this primary today, that wacky socialist in
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 8: Wisconsin– is running for governor.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 10: Francesca Hong.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: Hong, yeah, and she wants to ban Thanksgiving.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 37: She does, but then she also changed her mind and
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 37: she says it's her favorite holiday.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 37: So she's done both of those in the last few months.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 37: We also have El Saeed in this one.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's the Hamas guy whose name I cannot pronounce.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 10: Yes, and then finally we have one more. I think
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 10: it's Chris Rabb out of Pennsylvania.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 16: All right, let's hear him.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 37: This is going to come out of the 360 for
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 37: Lucas if he needs to turn that up on the board.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 15: All right.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 5: Understand right now, though, that we don't live under capitalism.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 5: We live under corporatism. You have huge corporations that have
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 5: used their power, in effect, to try and buy politicians
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 5: so that those politicians will turn around and help them
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 5: use government to protect their position in markets. That is anti-capitalist.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 38: Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 38: people in our communities.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 8: My favorite holiday is.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 11: Thanksgiving.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 39: Long before there was any notion of policing, we had
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 39: founders that did not even understand that term. Policing is
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 39: something that's evolved over time. Ultimately, what we want is
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 39: to have communities that are safe. And 99% of what
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 39: police do are not going after the bad guys.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 37: That is my favorite, the Chris Rabb one out of Pennsylvania,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 37: because he's saying police need to go away.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: Well, they all favor or defend the police.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 37: And instead of that, they want social workers to show up.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: But they don't want to say it. You're right. It's
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: like they want to be divorced.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 11: Not anymore.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: They've won their primaries.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: They don't want to use the defund the police, abolish ICE.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 22: Yes.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 8: And they're trying to get away from that.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 3: But we still have them on tape.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 8: Like we have Tallarico with the doormat comment about welcoming
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 8: people to the country and inviting everybody in.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 10: We want to welcome out at our border.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 31: Yes.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: So, but I tell you what, why don't we take
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: a break?
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 8: And when we come back, the reason why I want
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 8: to meet you on the show is because you are
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 8: like our station expert, all things WNBA.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 34: Right.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 8: And tonight is the New York Liberty versus the Indiana Fever.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: I'm going to grab some popcorn and a brewski.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 31: Correct.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 3: I'm going to put my feet up. I'm going to
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: watch that and get ready for a little WWE action.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 8: I'm hoping to see a few clothesline, hairline tackles or
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 8: something like that. So why don't we take a quick break?
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 8: Ben Struzan, subbing for the X-Men on The Voice of Texas.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Chris X Radio on The Voice of Texas.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 14: If you have roof problems, you can sure see them
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 14: when it rains. This is Deb Tejada from Tejas Roofing.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 14: If you see a leak, call me immediately.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: 281-251-0304.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 14: I'll send over the Tejas Roof Repair Truck.
• 1:25:56

  Speaker 14: roofs for 15 years.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 40: It's not a pretty truck, but it has everything we
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 40: need to get the job done. I kind of like
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 40: the way it looks.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 14: Most roofing repairs cost less than $ 500.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 14: Because we find the cause of the leak and repair
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 14: that leak. We won't try to sell you services you
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 14: don't need.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 40: And we'll fix it right away because everything we need,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 40: it's in our truck.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 14: Don't put off fixing a leaky roof. Call me at
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 14: Tejas Roofing, and I'll send over the truck.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: 281-251-0304.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 14: When you think of roofing repairs or a new roof,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 14: think Tejas Roofing, your Houston roofing company.

  Speaker 10: That's Tejas Roofing, 281-251-0304.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: Start your mornings with the Chris Salcedo Show.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 17: Let's go to New York where David is standing by.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 7: Hello, David.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the Salcedo Show.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 10: What do you say?
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 9: I'm going to say Donald Trump is a backstabber and
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 9: you never call him out.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 17: I didn't understand what you said. Give me an example
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 17: of a lie.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 25: I don't know.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you say.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 30: It is just like the folks over there at CNN
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 30: and at MSNBS.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 16: Blind hatred.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 9: And one other thing with that jerk from New York, David.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 12: That's why I left New York.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 28: These guys are real mamaloo.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 14: Ah.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: 7 to 9 a.m.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 30: This is Kevin O'Hara with O'Hara & Company Real Estate
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 30: in O'Hara Homes. I'm going to pose some questions that
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 30: you might want to research. Why was JFK assassinated? Did
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 30: we really land on the moon? Is Earth really a
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 30: globe and is it the size they tell us it is?
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 16: Did 9-11 happen the way we were told?
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 30: Are pharmaceutical companies really there to cure diseases? Who are
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 30: doctors trained by? Did God create everything on Earth that
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 30: we need to stay healthy? Is fluoride in our water
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 30: really helping us? What are those long trails of clouds
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 30: left by airplanes and what's in them? Did all the
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 30: astronauts die in the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion? And is
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 30: Elvis really dead? I search answers for everything. And if
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 30: you're searching for a real estate company, give O'Hara Company
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 30: Real Estate a call at 281-373-3393.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 16: Again, that's 281-373-3393.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 30: Or look us up on the web at oharare.com. I
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 30: have a special guest with me, my granddaughter, Bailey.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 6: God bless America, God bless Texas, and God bless my pop.
• 1:28:13

• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: What the heck? What is it, Lucas? Come on. Oh,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 3: it's Tom Sawyer. This is not Van Halen. It's not.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 8: Welcome back to the Voice of Texas.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us on the X-Men show. I was
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: hoping to at least bring a little better music with me.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 37: By the way, Lucas, this happens to everybody.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 10: It happened to me.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I did it too. And that's Chris Collins.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 11: Craig.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: Craig. Excuse me, Craig. That's okay.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 10: I'll go by Chris.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 8: Craig Collins, who is on the Chris X Show with me,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 8: who's on right after the Chris X Show.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: You'll be hearing Craig Collins.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 8: And, of course, all your calls, 281-558-5738, or pound KSEV
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 8: for our Verizon callers. We hope you're listening. on ksevradio.com,
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 8: where we're live streaming on Twitter, on Facebook, on YouTube.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 8: And Chris Collins is– Craig Collins is.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 3: Chris Collins.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 10: That's fine, man.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: No, that's the wide receiver for the Bengals, right?
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 10: Plus, we have a Chris morning show, a Chris afternoon show.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 10: I should just go by Chris.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 8: But Chris Collins is the wide receiver for the Bengals,
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 8: and he's on the football show.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 34: Oh, yeah.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: So I brought you on for a number of reasons.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 28: Uh-huh.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 8: But one of the big ones was to talk about
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 8: you're our station expert on all things WNBA.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 11: Oh, man.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 8: And as I said earlier, I am going to kick
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 8: back tonight, grab some brewski, watch.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: The Fever play the Liberty on ESPN.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 8: Hope to see some really knock-down, drag-out fouls and fighting.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 3: A little black-on-white, white-on-black coverage.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 16: Crime.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 10: Mostly.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: Is that white privilege? Is that what you call white privilege?
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 10: I love the Babylon Bee.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 37: They have this fake headline of Caitlin Clark doing an
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 37: interview where she says, white privilege feels a whole lot
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 37: like black women beating me up.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 10: Because that is what it feels like. She gets beat
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 10: up a lot.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 8: And I always get on Paul about this. Let's do
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 8: just a brief reset of the events of the last
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 8: two or three weeks. And let's even go back because
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 8: A lot of people don't know who Caitlin Clark is.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 37: Yeah, so Caitlin Clark is very famous for playing in
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 37: the college basketball world.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 8: Phenomenal basketball star. From all I can tell, straight, obviously white, white, straight.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 10: Straight white woman.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: Superstar, comes into the league.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah, she's got a boyfriend.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 3: I said the short version.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 10: Her fiance or something.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 37: She got drafted three years ago, infused a ton of
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 37: money in the WNBA.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 10: As you said, I'm the expert on the WNBA, just barely.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 37: I don't really care very much about it, but it
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 37: certainly seems to be a thing where more and more
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 37: people are paying attention to this because of Caitlin Clark.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 37: But anyway, she's been getting beat up by a lot
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 37: of people. One of her teammates, Sophie Cunningham, has been
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 37: getting beat up a lot by people. And somehow refs
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 37: keep calling fouls on them, on the two white women
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 37: who were in the league. Not on everybody else. So
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 37: Clark even had a technical get rescinded the other day.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 10: So that would have caused suspension.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 8: So I we had this conversation about three or four
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 8: weeks ago with the judge is a Democrat.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 8: And we asked him, you know, judge, you know, to me,
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 8: it's obvious. But this is a question. Is it, you know, black?
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 3: Versus white? Is it a racial thing?
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: And he said, yeah, well, I think it's it. Plus,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: she's new. And I said, well, there's also this other
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: thing going. She's straight, and they're all lesbians.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 37: 75% of the WNBA is lesbians.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 3: That's a public statement. I think that has a lot
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: to do with it.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 10: I think so, too.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 8: So now comes along her teammate on the Indiana Fever,
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 8: Sophie Cunningham, who is— Sort of an attractive blonde lady.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 8: And she's not a superstar basketball player, but she's good.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 10: No, she's a bench player in the WNBA.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 10: And we talk about her right now in the world
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 10: of sports and politics.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And she comes on.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 16: She says, look.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 8: She makes what is, to me, an obvious observation. She's
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 8: saying we, meaning WNBA, shouldn't have to play against men.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 8: So there should not be transgender men playing in a
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 8: women's basketball league. And you'd have thought the world came
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 8: apart for that league. Because they just went ballistic.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, there are people been protesting.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 37: I can play the clip back from July of Sophie
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 37: Cunningham saying that it's not fair for biological men to
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 37: play against women in sports. And then also going on
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 37: to say she doesn't hate anyone. She's not trying to
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 37: be mean to anybody. She just thinks that women's sports
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 37: should be women. If we want to play that clip.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 10: That's that's a must get it.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: You covered it. You covered it. OK, I'm trying to
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: do the short.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 10: No, it's OK.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 8: OK, now then, of course, there's the famous incident where
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 8: a couple of Sophie's fans were who agree with her, kids.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: Holding up signs, sitting down on the court.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 8: And they go, Sophie, thanks for speaking out.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: And one of the owners of.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 8: The Seattle Storm, who is a lesbian also, decides she
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 8: can't tolerate a couple of signs and kids with that message.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: And she runs over there and.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 8: She throws a fit and does a screaming and a
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 8: yelling and drops a bunch of expletives and tries to
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 8: kick them out and goes off on the fans.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: She gets a five-game suspension.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 8: And as I famously said on this show, that wasn't enough.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 8: They need to hang her up by her balls. And,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 8: of course, that didn't go over well.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: In the WNBA either.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Celeste Keaton, by the way, is that woman's name.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 8: So let's bring it forward now to what happened within
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 8: the last 48 hours.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 37: So within the last 48 hours, Sophie Cunningham was clotheslined
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 37: by someone from the Chicago Sky.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 10: That's a tackle, basically.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 3: She was running for the basket.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 37: Right, and just absolutely demolished.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 8: What they would call a hard foul, only the— This lady,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 8: what's her name, Marjan Cunningham or Dijon Cunningham?
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, something like that.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 10: Dijon, I think.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, took her arm and just went straight for her
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 8: neck and knocked her over to the side.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 3: And she got a hard foul, a technical, threw her
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 3: out of the game. And, of course, what does the
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 3: lady do?
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 8: What does she put on Twitter right after she gets
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 8: cooked out using the words at Indiana Fever.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 10: On her Twitter account? So two things.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 37: Dijon Carrington was her name, and she put up white
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 37: privilege as what she thinks was the reason that she
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 37: got kicked out of the game for clotheslining a white player.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 37: And actually, this is also crazy within the world of
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 37: the Indiana Fever. The head coach of the Fever defended
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 37: Dijon Carrington. She did not defend her own player, so
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 37: now there's calls for Stephanie White to be.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 10: Fired, the head coach of the Fever. Well, no, no,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 10: for the opposite.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 37: She defended the black woman that clotheslined her player because
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 37: she used to coach her, I guess, in a previous team.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 10: So it's kind of crazy. All of it's insane.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 8: And then I saw that the AG in Florida wants
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 8: to fall charges.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 10: Yes, assault charges, which is amazing.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 16: All right, guess what?
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 3: The Senator Ben Gordon. I don't know why he wants
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 3: to comment on this.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 25: Do it, Paul.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 3: Let's get him on the show.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 8: El Senador. Thanks for joining us on The Voice of Texas.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 8: You know what we're talking about, right?
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 9: Hey, not only am I commenting, I'm going to take
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 9: the clip we had from last week and post it
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 9: on Facebook in the morning.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, nice.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 9: So you guys are geniuses.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 10: Fantastic.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 9: And look, and Craig, you're right. That coach... Stephanie White
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 9: has continuously taken her ownership view, not supported Caitlin.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 8: And now.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 9: Just she's always against her own players. And and especially
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 9: on any type of policy issue is whatever you want
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 9: to call this.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: Are you talking about the Indiana Fever?
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 10: Yes, the Indiana Fever.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 8: I thought she defended Caitlyn and said that about three
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 8: weeks ago.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 10: Stephanie White has somewhat defended Caitlyn Clark.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: Because she's getting beat up.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 37: Not gone far enough, as Senator Betancourt is saying. And
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 37: then when it comes to Sophie Cunningham in the clothesline,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 37: the head coach of the Indiana Fever defended the woman
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 37: who clotheslined her player. Dijon Carrington, yes, because she used
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 37: to coach her for some other teams.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's disgusting.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, you can watch it on you can watch
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 8: the clip. It's obviously it's terrible.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 9: I mean, no, she I mean, she took her head off. Now,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 9: the other thing is, and Craig, correct me if I'm wrong,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 9: the the ownership of the of the fever is GLBTQ, whatever.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 34: Right.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 9: Am I missing that?
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 10: Yes, GLBTQ, whatever.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, the Indiana ownership is?
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 10: Yes, and the head coach is also, I think, a
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 10: lesbian woman.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 8: Because I know the Seattle Storm coaches and owners are.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 37: It's not a made-up stat that 75% of the WNBA
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 37: is gay women.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 8: So they've got to make a decision if they're going
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 8: to allow transgender men to play in a WNBA basketball game.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 8: They are now going to have to— they' re going to be
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 8: forced to make that decision.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 9: Well, they are, because who is the guy? I was
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 9: watching his announcement. He was just having fun with it.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, the former NBA player, right?
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the guy from Turkey.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, dude, yeah.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 16: The dude.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 3: He's a conservative.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 9: He was having a blast with it. But so the
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 9: problem they've got is they're being hosted, if you pardon,
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 9: on their own batard. And what I love about your,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 9: what did you say last week? is whether they have
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 9: the balls to do the right decision. I can't remember.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 8: It's something like that. What I said was that the
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 8: Seattle Storm coach only got a five-game suspension for trying
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 8: to eject and screaming and yelling at a bunch of kids.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 8: And as far as I was concerned, that was not enough.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 8: They ought to hang her by her balls.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: True.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 3: I think that's my exact point.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 4: Obviously.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 9: That's your exact quote. Well, then we're going to post
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 9: that in the morning.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 37: Well, and by the way, anybody who's offended by that,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 37: she does not have balls, is Ben's joke, so go ahead.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: You had to explain it?
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 10: I wanted to, just in case. We got comments from
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 10: people offended.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 3: We got really?
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, just one.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 12: Okay, can we.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 9: Can we hit a rim shot.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 3: Now to make it clear? I don't know. I don't
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 3: have that thing turned on.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 9: It's number two, Ben.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: No, it's not on, Paul.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 9: It's number two.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: I don't use that thing.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 9: All right, whatever.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 8: You got anything serious first today or what?
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 9: Well, the serious swirl on all this is that they
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 9: are running out of options to come out with a
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 9: rational plan.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 9: And here is the money of this. For the first time,
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 9: this league has not lost money when this year because
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 9: of Caitlin Clark and all the publicity that she's brought it. Now,
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 9: what's happening with Cunningham is being the defender, I mean,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 9: they're trying to take her head off too. And let's
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 9: call it what it is, the woke NBA, for lack
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 9: of a better description.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 11: Sure.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 9: Okay. They're going to have to decide... whether or not
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 9: making a profit is more important than all this other
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 9: woke nonsense, because that's what they've been preaching, because that's
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 9: what their employees want to hear. But the reality is,
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 9: is that if you believe in making money and having tolerance,
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 9: and you don't care what you look like, who you
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 9: sleep with, where you're from, as long as the value
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 9: of work performed means, are you scoring goals and getting
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 9: rebounds or whatever else and assist? And that's the real
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 9: problem because now actually it's been exploded into the national
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 9: consciousness that Caitlin Clark is the best player on the,
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 9: in the league. And she happens to be a straight
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 9: white kid as opposed to some hatchet LGBTQ.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: And the rest of the league is offended by it,
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: of course.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 37: And we really do need to understand that when Caitlin
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 37: Clark plays, the WNBA averages two and a half million viewers.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 8: Hey, and tonight they're playing and I'm going to be
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 8: kicking back, drinking a beer. popping some popcorn, watching the
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 8: Indiana Fever play the New York Liberty.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 10: When Caitlin Clark doesn't play, it's half a million.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 37: So it's a 500% increase in viewership when Caitlin Clark
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 37: is playing.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 10: Correct.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 9: So anyway, I'll leave you with I'm posting that clip
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 9: in the morning.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 15: Awesome.
• 1:42:01

  Speaker 8: joining us on The Voice of Texas.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Emily.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 38: Yes, thank you all for hosting today. Before, I want
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 38: to bring up a really key point that I think
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 38: we can win the strategy with the Senate race. Before
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 38: I do, I want to give a call out to
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 38: Lucas and Craig. Y'all are so talented. If you combine
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 38: your talent with Chris X, with the music idea, listen
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 38: to your segment about the music. You can take back–
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 38: there's a void in radio with the losing sense of humor,
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 38: and there's no music that really captures that like Rochelle
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 38: Lombard did. If you guys work together, I would like
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 38: to see your talent. I'd like to see what you
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 38: do with the music. So I back you up on that,
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 38: and I hope you can collaborate.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 3: Okay. Hey, Emily, hang on one second. Don't tell anybody,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 3: but what she's talking about with the music, is that like.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 10: The AI music stuff that we're doing?
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, you mean like... No, I've heard a little.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 38: Bit, but I think you can do a lot more.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 5: We could.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 38: I write parodies, and I can send you material, and
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 38: I think you could do a lot more with the
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 38: video and music and fill that void.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 37: You're talking about the parodies that Rush Limbaugh used to do.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 41: Yeah.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: Hang on, hang on, hang on, Emily. Hang on, hang on.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 3: What is she talking about?
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 10: Well, Rush Limbaugh used to do a bunch of parody
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 10: music and stuff.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 3: Making fun of.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 37: Some of the AI music that we've been making and
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 37: that I've been making actually does include some parody stuff
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 37: and jokes.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah, there's a way to push even further.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 3: How am I missing that?
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 10: Why it's it's relatively new.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 8: But okay well send it to me so i can
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 8: understand all right now you may proceed yes.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 38: Yeah since you're a strategist you know i want to
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 38: you know encourage like i think we can unite with
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 38: the christian democrats who are horrified about the woke agenda
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 38: taking over And Fetterman has stood up and is not
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 38: afraid to stay within the party and put this down.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 38: There's a strategy. Salazar, a Republican in Florida, I think
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 38: she's from Florida, wrote a resolution that got past the
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 38: House denouncing the horrors of socialism. So we unite with
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 38: the parties and write something that declares the Democratic Party
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 38: that your socialism is a political religion, and it is
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 38: unconstitutional to abuse government to promote these things. And we
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 38: sign a resolution. If Tallarica will not sign it and
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 38: other people will not sign it, we'll expose them. So
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 38: even if they win, we will have created enough people,
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 38: like the libertarians are against it. My anarchist Christian friends
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 38: are against it. If we can unite, we can have
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 38: a group that will check every single thing that they post,
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 38: that they try to pass this legislation, and we can
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 38: strike it down if we unite. So we can start
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 38: doing this before the election and start exposing which people
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 38: are with us and which people are allowing this to
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 38: take over when it is unconstitutional and really find out
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 38: who are the real Christian constitutionalists that are willing to
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 38: unite and bring our parties together on what we have
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 38: in common.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 8: So, Emily, I'd like to, just to put it in sequence,
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 8: I'd like to get everybody to unite in order to
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 8: prevent it from happening in the first place.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 3: That would be my primary objective. And in order to
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 3: do that, I agree with you that.
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 8: We need, and when I say we, we play a
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 8: very small part here on KSCV, but in terms of
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 8: the Republican leadership.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 3: We need to.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 8: Demonstrate and show the American people what their plans are
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 8: and then make sure that Democrat candidates cannot run away
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 8: from it. So in Texas, Tallarico has, it's an advantage
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 8: and disadvantage. His advantage is he can always claim that
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 8: the wacko in Michigan is too extreme and he would.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 3: Never do that.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 8: And whatever it is, but that's really not what's going
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 8: to happen.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 3: If he wins, if he wins, he's going to support
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 3: it all the way down the line.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 8: But you still have to capture him and you have
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 8: to you have to force him to commit.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 3: One way or another on some of these.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 8: Insane agenda items in the Democrat socialist agenda. anathema to
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 8: people in Texas that are moderates. We can demonstrate his
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 8: voting record and then all the comments that he's made
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 8: over the years.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 3: But right now, it's not.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 8: Being consumed because it's not being played in the media
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 8: because Paxton is at such a fundraising deficit. And the
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 8: primary cause for that are that Republican check writers, the
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 8: business community, the contributors are have not contributed to Paxton
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 8: because they don't like him and they were primarily Cornyn supporters.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 8: And that's where we're at. And if they dither too long,
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 8: we're going to lose this thing. So we have to
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 8: get people to wake up. And if they don't want
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 8: to write a check to Paxton, they can still write
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 8: a check to the Republican Senate Campaign Committee, who can
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 8: then write a check to Paxton or help Paxton out,
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 8: along with defeating that wacko in Michigan, where we have
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 8: a chance to pick up a Senate seat. So that's
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 8: kind of my cosmic view of what you said.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 3: We've got about a minute left. I'll let you have
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 3: a couple more words, and we'll have to tune out.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 38: Yes, I support you on that. I think if we,
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 38: the resolution, like we write something where we denounce, that
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 38: we recognize that these are unconstitutional things and they require
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 38: consent of the public. You can agree with medicine, but
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 38: it has to be written where you agree where the
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 38: line is drawn and not create Obamacare that crossed that line.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 38: So if we form a council, we agree, whoever gets elected,
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 38: we form this council to check and balance and make
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 38: sure any of.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 3: This agenda crosses the line. All right, Emily, we've got
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 3: to go. Keep us posted, okay? Craig Collins, you're up next.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 3: What do you have planned for us?
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 37: I got a lot of stuff planned, including more Democratic
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 37: Socialist insanity and actually a big take on Tallarico and Paxton,
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 37: what Paxton said about spending money.
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 3: More insanity! I know, more insanity. Okay, I'll listen on
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 3: the way home. Have fun. All right, we'll talk to
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 3: you later.
