God, Guns & Hypocrisy? Tallarico Says 'Texas Ignores God on Gun Control' · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: If you have encouraged white nationalist rhetoric, if you have
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: blocked common sense gun safety measures, if you have refused
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to expand mental health care, if you have accepted contributions
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: from dark money groups like the NRA, then you have
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: blood on your hands.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Good Friday morning. It's nice to have you with us
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: on the 47 Morning Update. And we've got a big
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: story for you. Democrats are all in to stop Donald
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Trump and his agenda. They want to make sure they
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: take back the House and the Senate so that nothing
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: that Donald Trump got elected to do can be done
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: for the next two years. The candidates they're picking are
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: very interesting. And one of them is a guy by
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: the name of James Tallarico. And his words and his
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: videos keep disappearing. The good news is we keep finding them.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: So who is James Tallarico, and what does he actually
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: believe in that he doesn't want you to know about?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: We do a deep dive into James Tallarico, and you're
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: going to want to share this with all of your
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: family and your friends. Before I get to that, the
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: midterm elections, they're heating up. Congressional control and President Trump's agenda,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: they hang in the balance, and every headline has the
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: potential to shift the odds. On CalSheep, you can trade
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: major primaries, election outcomes, and the biggest political storylines as
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: they happen. Now, you can look at the elections several
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: different ways on CalSheep. You can look at how many
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Senate seats will Democrats hold after the midterms. Yeah, you
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: can get in on that. Or how many Senate seats
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: will Republicans hold after the midterms? And you can also
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: look at the races as they're happening. Georgia has a
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: very big race right now with John Alsop and Mike Collins.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: You can look at that race and decide what you
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: think and see if you're right down the road. Now,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: you can also look at the Ken Paxson-Talarico race. And
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: right now, Paxson is currently trading at 50%. meaning a
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: $ 100 trade would pay out $ 93 if he beats James Tallarico.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: On Kalshi, you're trading against peers in a live market,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: meaning there's no house, and as the probability changes, you
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: can buy in and out of your position. So download
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: the Kalshi app and use the code BEN. You're going
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: to get $ 20 when you trade $ 20.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: K-A-L-S-H-I. That's Kalshi. Trade on anything.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: 18 plus only. Restrictions and eligibility requirements apply. Event contract

• 2:40
  Speaker 4: It's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts right now.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: We've been talking a lot about James Tallarico. He's trying
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: to get Americans to forget who he actually is. And
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: this is very much like we've seen with Al-Said and
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: You know, the insanity of that race in Michigan. But
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: what we're witnessing from the Texas Democrat is even more impressive.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Just the straight up deleting of what he said in
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the past. Now, this moment, we're going to talk about guns.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: James Tallarico, he clearly hates firearms. He's a guy that
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: believes in maximum gun control, meaning you don't have the
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: right to protect or defend your family. And James Tallarico
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: also really likes invoking God when he wants to get
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: something done, because remember, he's this pastor guy. Well, we
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: now have unearthed video of James Tallarico saying that the
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: failure to restrict AR-15s is, quote, ignoring God's messengers. Now,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: you may ask yourself, who is he talking about being
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: the messengers? Is it the parents of kids? Is it
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the Democrats who show up in Demand that we ban
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: all guns.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Is it the.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Shooters that are the messengers? Well, the Texas Democratic U.S.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Senate nominee not only has urged restrictions on firearms for
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: young adults during a Texas floor speech. But he framed
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: the lawmakers and their refusal to pass his proposal as
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: disregarding a direct message from God. In other words, James
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Salrico says, God is on my side, and my bill
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: is God's bill, and anything you guys want to do
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: is not God's work, and so you're not listening to God.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I want you to understand why he decided, maybe we
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: don't want this video out there. Now, we have it,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to play for.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: You the audio. And this wasn't 10 years ago, all right?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: This clip was actually posted to James Tallarico's YouTube channel
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: in 2023. And it shows this state representative making the
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: remarks during a debate over various bill proposed in response
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: to the 2022 shooting at Uvalde, Texas in that elementary school.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: You may remember that story because it was sad and
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: people were shocked and angered to watch police not engage
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the shooter. For minutes on end, while they were hearing
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: the gunshots going off, knowing that kids were dying. That
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: was the big story that came out of that shooting.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: But James Tallarico says, no, no, no, that's not the
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: big story. The story is my bill has God's blessing
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: and none of yours do. And this is what he
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: said from the floor of the house in Austin while
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: he was demanding that you do what God says you
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: must do, which is to only, of course, support his
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: radical anti-gun bill.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: We're the only country in the world that allows this
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: to happen. Globally, we are not an outlier in mental health.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: We're not an outlier in school security. We're an outlier
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: in in the number of readily accessible weapons of war
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: in our community. You can't offer thoughts and prayers on
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Monday and then debate a bill to loosen gun regulations
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: on Tuesday. I believe in the power of prayer. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: believe prayer can change lives. I believe prayer can change
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: the world. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: God to solve a problem that we're not willing to
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: solve ourselves. God moves, God works through us. God has
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: no other hands but our hands. We prayed and God
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: sent moms from all over the state, from both political parties,
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: to advocate for gun safety. We prayed and God sent
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: families from Uvalde to travel 160 miles to advocate for
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: gun safety. We prayed, and God sent our colleague from
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: Uvalde to bring a bill that would prevent tragedies from
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: happening in the future. But instead of hearing that bill,
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: we're hearing this bill. We have ignored God's messengers. This
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: is moral madness. And this is not the Texas House
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: I know. Yesterday, members of this body from both political
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: parties summoned the courage to address this problem. That's the
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Texas House I know, not this bill. I know many
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: of you are worried about your conservative scorecards, but the
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: only scorecard that matters is God's, and all of us
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: are failing. I urge you to vote no on this bill.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: So to be clear, Talrico says that if you refuse
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: to pass his bill, HB 2744, a bill sponsored to
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: ban 18 to 21 year olds from owning certain guns,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: it is, quote, ignoring God's messengers. And apparently he's like
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: been ordained by God to be the messenger of what
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: is right and what is wrong in anything that he decides. Now,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: the Texas legislature did not pass the bill. They did
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: pass the Evaldi Strong Act, which was legislation focused on
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: strengthening security around schools. And there was a huge problem
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: that we saw in Evaldi, and that's what they were
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: actually trying to fix. They didn't just go on this
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: crusade to just say, oh, we got to get rid
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: of every gun, and somehow that'll fix the problem. Now,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Tallarico previously also criticized similar proposals and said that he
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: strongly opposed having police protect schools, arguing that doing so would, quote,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: fuel a culture of violence. All right, so Tallarico says
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: my bill is God's bill, and if you don't support
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: my bill, then you're not supporting God and you're spitting
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: in God's face. And oh, if you want to have
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: police at schools to protect kids in schools, then you
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: are fueling a culture of violence. Now, Tallarico wasn't done there,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: all right? Tallarico has continually invoked Christianity while advocating for
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: radical policy positions, including, by the way, his support for
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: the Green New Deal. He also says God would want
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: to abolish prisons. Apparently, God just tells him exactly what
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: he wants him to do. And providing taxpayer-funded health care
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: for illegal immigrants, he also says, is something that God
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: would want to happen. This is who James Tallarico is.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: The RNC spokesman put it this way, saying, quote, And
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: sex change operations for children.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Apparently God told him that children should be able to
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: pick their own sex and then you should have to
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: pay for their sex change operations as a minor while
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: you mutilate their bodies.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: This is not a joke. This is, again, he's speaking
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: directly with God here. Now, not only did the RNC
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: spokesman say that, he said, quote, he is.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Truly a sick individual who will destroy Texans' way of
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: life if given the chance. Now, you may say, okay,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: that seems a little bit extreme.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Is it?
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Listen to James Tallarico in this back and forth, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: you tell me.
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: I'm Amanda Meredith.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: I'm a veteran of the U.S.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Navy.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: Hey.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: I'm from South Oak Cliff. My question is, since I've
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: been back since 2017, I have noticed the over-policing in
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: our neighborhoods, especially during Juneteenth. I myself was attending an
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: event in Lancaster, and our event was closed down two
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: hours prior to it actually ending. We were doing nothing.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: We were just having a very joyous occasion, and yet
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: we were told to leave. without even giving a proper explanation.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: Ever since that Trump had ended the investigations into civil
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: rights investigations, police investigations, the craziness in this country has
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: gotten worse. Our people have been getting killed left and right.
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: Carmela Anthony's case is just a tragedy.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Excuse my language.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: But it is.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: But it is. So what are we going to do
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: to fix those harms? There should be no reason why
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: I can't go to a cookout and enjoy myself amongst
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: my people. I have more trauma from living here, coming
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: back here, than I did when I was in Bahrain, Kuwait, Afghanistan.
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: And that's the anxiety. That's what I was most worried about.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: I came back here because my family is here for
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: my son so he can get to know them. But
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: that was what it's going to be like now when
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: I'm driving around.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Am I going to get.
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: harassed by the police and state troopers, and he has
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: got to stop.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: Thank you. Thank you for your question, and thank you
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: for your service. This is unacceptable. I was proud to
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: march in Dr. Opale's Walk for Freedom in Fort Worth
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: for Juneteenth. It was one of the most beautiful celebrations
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: I've participated in in the whole campaign. So many Texans
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: showing up, black, white, and brown, all together, marching for justice,
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: marching for progress, marching for freedom. It was a joyous,
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: beautiful thing to see. And I'm so sorry that law
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: enforcement felt the need to shut down a joyous festival
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: for you in this community. It is unacceptable. Law enforcement
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: is here to serve us. It is here to protect us.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: And too often, we see law enforcement weaponized against black
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: and brown communities in this state.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Now, what's truly amazing about what all he had to
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: say there is not only does he take the premise
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: that all cops are evil, all cops or state troopers
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: are bad.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: It's unacceptable. We should get rid of the cops.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: But he does this while also talking about gun control.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: He says that you should not have the right to
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: protect and defend yourself. The same guy that doesn't want
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: to have police to protect you, to have law and order,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: he's saying, oh, by the way, not only do I
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: not want police, I also don't want you.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: To be able to protect and defend yourself.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Tallarico, by the way, this is not a joke, hired
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: the leader of the group called, I'm going to use
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: another word, coax, not glocks. And there's a word that
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: rhymes with coax, okay? And he hired this leader to
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: lead his gun control portfolio. The group that I just mentioned.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: would hand out sex toys to raise awareness about banning guns.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: You can't make it up.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: That is who Tallarico hired, the leader of Cokes, not Glocks. Okay,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: you know the other word there. Put it in there.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: And said, hey, you guys, you're doing a great job.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I love what you're doing. You're handing out sex toys
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: to raise awareness about banning guns. How those two connect
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: is beyond me. But that's not all. In another clip
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: from 2019, Tallarica said those who do not support gun
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: control have, quote, blood on your hands.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: If you have encouraged white nationalist rhetoric, if you have
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: blocked common sense gun safety measures, if you have refused
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to expand mental health care, if you have accepted contributions
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: from dark money groups like the NRA, then you have
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: blood on your hands.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: You have blood on your hands.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: So just so you know who the Democrats think should
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: be in charge, it is a guy that says God
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: is on his team, God doesn't like cops, and we
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: should get rid of them. God doesn't like guns, and
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: we should get rid of them. And if you don't
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: agree with him, not only are you going against God,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: but you have blood on your hands. This is who
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: the Democrats have running in Texas. During an appearance, by
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the way, on Unity Over Division podcast, Tower Rico said,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Second Amendment is not absolute. Going further, saying, I believe
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: in the Second Amendment just as much as I believe
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: in the First. We have a right to bear arms
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: to protect ourselves, our families. We have a right to
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: own weapons for sport or for hunting.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I don't have a right to own weapons to protect
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: and defend my family? Like, who are you to decide
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: that it's only for sport or hunting? because you just
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: contradicted yourself. We'll keep going with the interview. He said, quote,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: but like any freedom in the Bill of Rights, it
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: is not absolute.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: So there it is.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: If God tells him that things should be out of
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: the Bill of Rights, apparently James Tallarico thinks he can
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: just take it out. He also said you have a
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: freedom to assemble to protest, You need a permit. You
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: need a permit. Oh, so I have to get my rights.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: What happens if he denies my permit? Do I then
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: lose my right to say what I believe in if
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: he's the senator from Texas? If I disagree with a
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: liberal on the city council or the county commissioner or
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: the board of aldermen or the mayor's office, do I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: have a right to protest? Or only if they give
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: me their permit that says now you can go out
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: there and now you can protest. This is who James
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Tallarico is. He is being haunted by his own words.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I want to play one more thing for you. Last
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: night on Laura Ingraham's show, she put a montage together
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: and some points she made. And I want you to
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: hear what she said about Tallarico. The same thing that
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: I want you to remember from what I said.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: On the kind of shoulder length wig and a more
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: prominent nose. And James Tallarico is the Abigail Spanberger of Texas.
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: Just like Open Borders Abby, he's a wild eyed radical
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: posing as something less threatening, something almost mystical.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: In one of my favorite poems, the Islamic mystic Hafiz
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: says that we are all invited to join that dance.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: He says, every child has known God, not the God
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: of names, not the God of don'ts, but the God
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: who only knows four words and keeps repeating them, saying, come.
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: Dance with me.
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: Come dance with me? With Tallarico a senator, Texas would
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: be dancing all right into economic Armageddon. In newly unearthed
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: video from a 2020 environmental event, we see and we
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: hear exactly what Tallarico believes.
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: I am so thankful that you asked this question and
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: also thankful that young activists have really drawn the link
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism in our country.
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: And I think only ending the ways that all three
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: of those oppressive systems work together are we going to
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: be able to begin the process of dismantling them.
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: Capitalism and white supremacy, that's a winner in Texas. And
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: about the oil and gas industry, which supports 1.4 million
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: Texas jobs, generates about $ 27 billion in tax revenue every year.
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: In that video obtained by CNN from that same event,
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: Tallarico compared being a leader in oil and gas, which
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: Texas is, to being a leader in cassette tapes in
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: the 1980s. He said, quote, that industry is not going
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: to last. Now, the Tallarico campaign gave us written responses
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: lengthy to his demeaning cassette tape comments about fossil fuels,
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: essentially disavowing them, saying he supports the oil and gas
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: industry and that he merely believes in an all of
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: the above energy strategy. And as for his arrogant dismissiveness
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: of capitalism, comparing it to white supremacy, his team told
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: us that James is a proud capitalist, but reiterated that
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: he missed the mark on some of his past statements.
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: He added that Texas also needs to address racism, natural
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: disasters and a billionaire controlled economy. Voters are going to
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: have to decide if they want to take a flyer
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: on this guy. But why would they want to trust
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: anyone who's ever used the words white supremacy and capitalism
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: in the same paragraph, let alone the same sentence? The
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: truth is, Tallarico's views are way outside the sensible middle
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: in America, let alone in the Lone Star State. And
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: instead of addressing legitimate questions about his expressed views about
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: capitalism and the oil industry, Tallarico deflects.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: They're going to claim that this new dream is radical.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: They're going to claim this new dream is extreme. They're
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: going to claim we are socialists or communists or whatever
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: sounds scariest in a headline.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: You listen to Tallarico and you listen to what Laura
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Ingraham said there. She's absolutely right. Now, this is the
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: guy that can undo this country. And there's a lot
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: of them like him around the country running right now.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: So we better be ready because they are ready. The
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: radical left is ready. They hate this president. They hate
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: what he's doing. doing and they want to stop him.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: So the next two years, well, he gets nothing done.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: And that's exactly why these midterms are so vitally important.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: They understand who they're running and what's at risk.
• 20:02
