Recorded Before the Election: Ken Paxton & Pollster Matt Towery… How Did They Get It So Wrong? · Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You literally should be up by 50 points.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: So I would tell you the race in Texas is
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: extremely close. But none of these races are four and
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: five and seven points.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: We have a huge risk here of losing a state.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: And once we lose that state, we lose the country.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: He's a con man. James Tallarico, there's no other way
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: to put it. He's a con man.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I've been railing on these polls for the midterms for
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: just about three or four months now because these polls
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: come out. I think some are suppression polls. I think
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: some have such a small sample size. It's just trying
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to push you this way or that way. I don't
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: trust them, but a guy who knows a whole lot
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: about them, and he's also got a new book out.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: His name is Matt Towery, co-founder and chairman of Inside Advantage,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: national pollster, political analyst, attorney, and former Georgia state representative.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: InsiderAdvantage.com is his website. Matt, how are you? Good to
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: see you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great, Joe. Thanks for having me on.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: It's an absolute pleasure. The book is called The Honoring
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: of Ignorance, The Seven Mirages, Destroying America. It's a 2026
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: political book. It's out now. It's only been out for
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: about two weeks, so I appreciate you coming on to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: talk about it. Let's get into what we're seeing in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: these polls. I don't believe them, Matt. I just don't.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that Gina Hinojosa here in Texas is really...
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: tied with Greg Abbott. I don't believe that. Now, I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: want people to go out and vote and make sure
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that if they're right, you know, then we could still
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: bring in the win. I don't believe that Tallarico is
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: smoking Paxton. I don't believe that El Sayed is doing
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that well against Rogers. But I mean, maybe you can
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. Should I believe these polls
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that I'm seeing, Matt? What is it that I should
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: be looking for in these numbers that will tell me
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the actual truth?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Well, so the honoring of ignorance is about how the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: media spends stories and it goes through all the different
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: aspects of Trump's first presidency and second presidency and shows
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: how by omission or by contortion, the mainstream legacy media
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: creates a myth, a mirage. Then the pollsters take it
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and run with it. And then the fact checkers come
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: behind and say, oh, the facts are all correct. Joe,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you're not you're not wrong. We've had a lot of
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: polling for a long period of time that just said
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the Republicans were going to get smoked. And then about
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: two or three weeks ago, we started having some polling showing, oh,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: these races are getting closer.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm not going to kid you. Right now, early
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: voting is not going the Republicans way around the country.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And so it's going to take a major Republican voter
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: turnout on Election Day for these close races to become wins.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It can happen. But Republicans have got to get their
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: second win and turn out big on Election Day because
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: they They're turning out at about 2022 levels, which is great.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: But in some states, we have the Democrats turning out
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: at 2024 levels. So that's got to change. And it
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: will change if the Republicans decide to get off their
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: rear ends and go vote and quit, you know, being
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: sore losers or upset because their guy isn't the nominee
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: or whatever reason they have. It's time for everybody to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: get together and get out.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: He is the nominee for U.S. Senate out of the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: great state of Texas. He's the Republican. It's Ken Paxton. Ken,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: how are you? Good to have you on today.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I am doing great. Obviously, today is the last day
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: of early voting until 7 p.m. tonight. I'm in Houston
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: trying to get the vote out. We just did a
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: rally in Houston. We're headed over to Pearland to do
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: one over there. And, of course, yesterday we were in
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Beaumont in the evening, and we were in Weatherford with
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the vice president. Had a great day. He did a
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: great job and got a lot of people out. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: think they told me over 4,000 people there, and it
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: was totally packed.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Now, generally speaking, as somebody who's conservative, I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: don't vote early. I normally vote on Election Day, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: this year I voted early. I think a lot of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: other people are voting early as well. This should be
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a no-brainer, Ken. And I'm not trying to sound like
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton in 2016, whatever it was, where she said,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: why aren't we up by 50 points? You literally should
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: be up by 50 points. You've got a guy that
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you're running against that is the complete opposite of every
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: value I think Texans have. And I'm not even I'm
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: not being using hyperbole. This guy is against oil and gas.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: This guy is for transitioning children. This guy seems to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: have some obsession with with trans children. He keeps on
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: talking about them. This guy wants to open the border.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: He wants to put a welcome mat out there. He
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: would like to raise taxes in Texas. Yet he's lied
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: about every stance he really has. And somehow it's working.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Do you have any idea why people are falling for
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: this lie that or the constant lies that Tallarico is
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: putting out there?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because he has a fairly undistinguished history in the
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Texas House. He didn't get anything done in eight years.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: He had these radical views, as you said. He voted
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: for trains and kids and said it was abusive for
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: parents to stop that. He voted for boys and girls
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: sports twice. He voted for state income tax. He tried
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: to pass a bill, as you said, to basically destroy
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the oil and gas industry. And he said that capitalism
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: is oppressive and it should be dismantled. So those are
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: just a few of the things, as you suggested. There
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: were others, and there are many more But I think
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: it's because people don't know. He was a state rep.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Nobody really covered him. Nobody knew who he was. He
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: wasn't like a remarkable state rep or accomplished person in
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the Texas House. So he runs and nobody knows his record.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: So with all the money coming in from California, those
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: are the people supporting him, California, New York, and Chicago.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: They are out there not talking about his voting record
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: or what he believes. They have switched all his positions
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: because they know if he tells the truth about what
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: he believes or he tells people the truth about what
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I've done, Then they lose. And so not only is
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: he lying about all his positions, he's adopted all of mine.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: But then he goes out and runs out saying, I
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: let a child predator out, complete life. He says that
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I'm for higher taxes, complete lie, against everything I've ever
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: voted for. So he gets away with it because people
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: don't know the voting record of him or me, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: he just makes it up. And he's hoping that his
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: lies will not be caught, and he'll get through enough votes,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: convince enough people that he is something that he's not.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: And that's very deceptive, and that's what we're facing.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Let me throw something out at you yesterday that I
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: tried to debunk yesterday on my show, and I think
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that you'll be able to probably get into this even
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: more than I did. Here in Texas, we don't know
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: if a Democrat is voting or a Republican is voting
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: in early voting. We just don't know. We know that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the numbers are way up. I mean, they're way up
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: on both Republican and Democrat areas, but we simply don't
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: know whether it's a Democrat or a Republican pressing those
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: buttons and making that vote. We'll find out on election day.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe in other states they're tracking it, but In this state,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: they don't. I live in Texas. So what I said
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: yesterday was the way they're extrapolating that is they're saying
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: in the areas that voted majority Harris in 24, we're
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: seeing a 70% increase. In the areas that voted for
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Trump in 2024, we're seeing a 50% increase. They really
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: don't know who's voting. But even that, I think, is
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: tricky because that tells the Republicans, the Democrats are out voting,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you don't worry about it, or tells the Democrats, you're
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: voting in massive numbers, you don't have to worry about it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Can they really give us numbers, Matt, that make sense,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that can tell me in Texas or other states that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: don't count R's or D's yet, what's really going on?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Well, they're not really being honest because we are able
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to track votes. We do it by going to a
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: primary vote. and following that ballot to see where they're
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: voting in the general. So it's not impossible to do.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: The modeling that they're giving you, Joe, is one that
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: assumes that if you live in a certain zip code
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: or area of Texas, that based on their concept of
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: what you are, your age, your race, where you live,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: that you're naturally voting Democrat or Republican. That's incorrect. So
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I would tell you the race in Texas is extremely close.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And I would tell you that if Republicans turn out
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: in presidential year numbers on Election Day, and I don't
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: know how much early voting is still left in Texas.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not polling that this week, I think.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I think two more days. It goes through Friday.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Two more days. They've either got to vote early and
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: really bring these numbers up, or they've got to turn
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: out on Election Day. As we know, Republicans tend to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: turn out on Election Day. The Democrats try to store
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: all their votes ahead of time. They've done a pretty
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: good job of it around the country. So it's a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: catch up on the part of the Republicans, but it's
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: not insurmountable. But none of these races are four and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: five and seven points. Tallarico is not leading by something
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: like that. Now, Ken Paxton, Ken Paxton has had to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: fight his way back up. And on top of that,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: he's got to deal with Cornyn and his crowd. who
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: are trying to basically sub rows and say, oh, don't
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: vote for this guy, which never helps. Republicans need to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: close ranks like the Democrats do. They don't care if
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you're a socialist. They don't care what you are. They
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: just want you to be a Democrat so they can
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: have power. Republicans have to slice and dice and, oh,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I don't like this person. I don't like the way
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: he talks. If they don't get over that, no, we
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: won't win. But if they get over it, then you'll
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: see a Democratic defeat and you'll see a Republican senator
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: from Texas.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the best attorney general in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the country, running for U.S. Senate now, Republican out of
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the great state of Texas. Ken, nine times this guy
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: had an opportunity to vote to close the border, to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: in the face of the Biden administration's open border, he
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: had the ability as a rep here in Texas to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: vote to close the border, and nine times he didn't
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: do it. And now he's on the campaign trail. As
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I said, I started this out by the fact that
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: he's a liar. Now he's saying he actually fought the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Biden administration on the border. What's the truth here?
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: He's a con man. James Tallarico, there's no other way
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: to put it. He's a con man. He absolutely voted
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: against every border bill that we had, including helping our
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: local law enforcement, helping the sheriffs, helping work with the
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: federal government, cross border, like between states. He voted against
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: detention centers. He voted against the wall. He voted against
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: funding anything that would have helped us. He was an
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: open boarder, welcomed that. That's what he said. It should
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: be a welcome that. He was absolutely in favor of everything.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I never heard him criticize Biden one time. And he
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: voted against every, as you said, every single bill that
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: would have protected us from the cartels. He even voted
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: against penalties for, for human smuggling and trafficking. He voted
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: against higher penalties for the, for the cartels. He is
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: absolutely in favor of everything about open boarders. And he's
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: out there lying about it just like he is every
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: other issue.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: He's been out there telling everybody how Christian he is.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: He's a Christian this and Jesus that and Christian this.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And he's been trying to attack you on your personal
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: life that I don't know much about. But let me
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: say this. The guy said God is non-binary. The guy
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: said that it turns out science says there are six genders,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: not genders, six biological sexes, he said. This guy says
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: that Jesus was a socialist. This guy is out there
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: talking about how the conception in Mary of the baby
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Jesus somehow proves that Christians are for abortion. Kenny, allegedly
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: he's tied with you in the polls. What am I missing? Look,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I get it. I'm a conservative guy and I like you.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I've known you for a long time. I know how
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: good you are as an attorney general, but I don't understand.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: People are buying what he's laying down. All of this
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: stuff is on video. We've seen him say these things.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: So there are other things, of course, you know, he
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: voted against 10 commandments being in our schools and said
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: that we were indoctrinating children, that it was anti-Christian. He
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: said that telling children about Christianity is like giving minors
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: beer who don't understand what they're doing. So this guy
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: has very antithetical views to Christianity. And the problem is
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: the mainstream media doesn't challenge them on it. They don't
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: bring it up. And so many of these voters, it's
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: really come down to shows like yours and our efforts
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: of spending money to educate people. So a lot of
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Texans just don't know that he's lying and he's, you know, look,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: it's an effective strategy because he can't win without doing it.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: That's what he has to do. He has to lie
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: and he's willing to do it. That's why we're close
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: in the polls because people believe his lies about me
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: and his lies about himself. They're all lies. There's, I
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: don't think there's a single thing that he said that's true.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I've been critical of the campaign that you've run, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: it's not you. I think maybe you're getting some advice
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: from people that maybe you shouldn't be. I've been critical
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: on my show, and I want to fix it today
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: because I really believe that if I'm Ken Paxton, I'm
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: out there saying I did this, this, this, this, this, this,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and this as the attorney general for you. And unfortunately,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you've always got to react to what Tallarico is saying.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: So on this interview today, I want to make sure
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: we clear the record for people about how great you've
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: been as an attorney general. If you don't mind, and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I'll do that in a second, but I want to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: finish on Tallarico this way. The guy has said that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you were ducking him when it came to a debate.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Now I'm here to tell you the man disappeared from
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: any public in-person appearances for 13 days, Ken, and he's
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: still somehow tied with you allegedly in the polls. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: don't know how much I believe the polls. What do
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: you make of him disappearing? No in-person public appearances for
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: 13 full days. And he comes back like nothing happened.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I don't believe it. I mean, look, I don't think
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: that he was, you don't have the flu for 13
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: days at one. That's very unusual too, especially at his age.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: And two, you don't just disappear from the face of
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: the earth where you don't do interviews. You don't do
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: any zoom calls. You don't, I mean, it doesn't make
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: any sense, especially when we're talking about the end of September,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: beginning of October, literally a month from the campaign being over,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: he just disappears for almost two weeks. They're not telling
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: us the truth. I don't know where he was. I
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: don't know if, you know, some said he was in
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: a mental institution. I don't know where he was. But
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: I do know this. They are hiding it. And this
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: is so the epitome of who he is. Very deceptive
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: and very dishonest.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I wonder if you noticed what I noticed. What happened
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: was somebody walked up to him after an event and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: they said, who's your favorite drag queen? And he had
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: an answer. Ken, the guy had an answer. I couldn't
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: name one drag queen. I don't care to. But he
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: had an answer almost like had to think about it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: He had to think about all the ones that he liked.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: And the one that he mentioned was his favorite right then.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Just after that, he disappears for almost two weeks. I'd
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: be remiss as somebody who does this for a living
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: if I didn't ask you. Ken Paxton, who's your favorite
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: drag queen?
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I don't have one. I've never heard of any of them.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: The only one I know of is the one he mentioned.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: If he hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't know. I'd be like,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: what are you talking about? I don't even know exactly
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: what a drag queen does, but I don't want to know.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: It's so stupid it's funny, but it's not funny because
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the polls are looking like they look.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: The one thing I fought the Republicans for, and I
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: talked about this on Larry Kudlow's show yesterday. I talked
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: about it on Sean's show. The one thing the Republicans
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: don't do is they don't advertise in May and June
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: and tell people the good news. For example, that unemployment's
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the lowest it's been since the 1960s, that people have
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: more disposable income, that inflation is half of what it
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: was under Joe Biden under his midterm. If we had
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: run those ads- And also an ad explaining why Iran
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: was necessary. I don't think we'd be even looking at
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: close races right now. We've got a chance.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I want to agree with you wholeheartedly because this is
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a constant droning from my show with Ken Paxton, for example.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Ken Paxton might be the best attorney general we've ever
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: had in Texas. The things that he's done by suing
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: big tech, by protecting girls and women's sports, by Just
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: going by suing Biden and Obama combined about 130 times.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: We haven't talked about it. We keep talking about Talofrico.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. Let me attack James Talofrico.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: And you go and give your resume, Ken. Go out
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: there and say what it is that we're doing. I
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: think you're absolutely spot on. Why do you think our
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: side gets sucked in to that game that the Democrats
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: are playing? We can ignore Al-Sayed saying, Mike Rogers has
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: rogered everything that Trump says. I'll attack Al-Sayed on his record. Mike,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: go out there and tell people that you served in
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the military, that you're an FBI guy, that you were
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a U.S. representative during 9-11 and you came through for
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the country. Do you agree with me that we keep
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: on allowing ourselves to be pulled in by them?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Joe, I'm going to tell you, since I'm retiring and
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I have nothing to lose, it's money. These consultants who
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: run these campaigns want to stack all of their ads
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: at the end. when they get lowest unit rate, and
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: also it becomes very confusing. You can't keep up with
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the money because it's just flowing everywhere. They don't want
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: to spend the money in May and June to get
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: their candidates' records out. They didn't want to spend the
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: money to promote what President Trump has done. He has
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: done fantastic things as president. The average American doesn't know
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: it because 75% of America gets their news from Legacy News,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: and then they get it from Google News, Apple News,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Yahoo News, all who keep the president Anything positive about
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: him never shows up on your phone or on your
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: whatever you're looking at where you're such media. So they
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: have got to get a way to fix this, but
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: they got to quit being so damn greedy, to be
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: honest with you. The Democrats play a different game. They
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: don't worry about who makes the money. They want to
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: win first and then they divide the spoils. And until
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the Republican Party decides they want to win and win consistently,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, we should be running ads every week of
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: every Time of time period, the president serving office every week,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: updating with people with the news that NBC, ABC, CBS
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: and others, CNN, MSNOW would not let the public see.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: If we could do that, we wouldn't have the president's
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: opinion rate approval rating where it is. And we wouldn't
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: be having to fight at the last minute. These Republicans
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: would be blowing the doors off of these candidates because
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: they're terrible candidates.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago, remember back in 2020 when
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the media narrative was absolute. In fact, anyone suggesting early
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: alternatives was instantly silenced and deplatformed. The late Dr. Zev
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Zelenko was at the center of the controversy with his
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Z-Stack and Zelenko Protocol. You've probably heard about it. He
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: faced immense criticism for sharing his approach, yet President Trump
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: referenced him during a press briefing. I just saw the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: video on X, go see it for yourself. It's amazing.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Zelenko carefully selected ingredients and doses based on his research,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: and today he His work remains part of the conversation

• 18:40
  Speaker 1: back to the video. So let's get into your record
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: as the Attorney General. I've had you on this very program,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking at least 50 times. If not, it might
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: be 100, Ken. And every single time you were suing
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: some gigantic tech outlet, whether it was Meta or Facebook directly,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: whether it was Google, whether it was TikTok, You're always
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: looking out for kids, looking out for girls in their
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: sports and their opportunities. You sued Biden and Obama together.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I think I added this up right, 130 times. And
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: you were successful in most of those times. You protected
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: our online presence and stopped people from censoring us. I'll
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: be honest with you again because I like you. I
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: don't know that we've talked about this enough on this
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: campaign because you're reacting to what Tallarico does. Give my listeners,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: my viewers across the nation and 16 stations right here
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: in Texas, just give me an overview of the job
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: that you've done as Attorney General. I'm not asking you
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to pat yourself on the back. Just start listing off
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: some stuff you've done for us.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and part of the reason I think this happened
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: is that the mainstream media stopped covering my stuff. And
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: if they did... cover it, they'd say, oh, Texas did this,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Texas did this. And then we had news outlets that
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: were creating trouble for me getting back on. So that's
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: I think that's part of the reason we've had a
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: harder time talking about my successes with the state of Texas.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: But look, I'm very proud. It was 134 times actually
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: we sued Biden and Obama, and we did it because
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: these presidents were going beyond their constitutional authority, and we're
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: trying to control the country through basically edict. And that
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: is one of the most important things we did was
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: protect the Constitution and our fundamental rights. Separation of powers
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: between the three branches. And as you suggested also, I
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: did go after big tech. I sued Google. I sued
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Facebook for stealing information from us without telling us. I
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: went after Netflix and TikTok and Snapchat. I went after
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Meta for what they were doing to kids online, exposing
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: them and having no protections, no parental control. And we
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: were successful getting over a billion dollars and changing everything.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: how Meta does their online for children. We went after
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: the Texas Children's Hospital and other doctors who were transitioning kids.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: And we were able to have doctors removed from practicing
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: as doctors. And then we got Texas Children's Hospital, not
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: only to pay 10 million, but they opened a detransition unit,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: I think this week. that will detransition for five years
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: kids that have been through that for free. So we've
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: had a lot of successes. I see Pfizer over the vaccine.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: We've done a lot of stuff that I think is
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: really good for Texas. And you're right. No one wants
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: to talk about that. James Tallarico doesn't want to talk
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: about it. The mainstream media doesn't want to talk about it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: They just want to go after me for other things,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: make up stuff that I let child predators out, that
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: I'm for higher taxes, all of it ridiculous and false.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: But that's the game that James Tallarico has to play
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: in order to win.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Well, if you put the accomplishments next to each other,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: and we don't know the name Paxton or the name Tallarico,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: you would absolutely, I mean, if your accomplishments were on
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: a scale against his, he would be way up in
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the air and the side of the scale would be
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: so far down for you. But that's the problem. As
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you just outlined, the mainstream legacy media doesn't want people
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: to know what you've achieved.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Or what he's achieved. Think about it. What are his
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: accomplishments in his entire life? What has he done, even professionally?
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: He's a DEI consultant in Austin, Texas, and he gets
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: paid by school districts to teach them how to be woke.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: And guess what? You know what he did, which I
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: think is extremely corrupt that no one ever talks about?
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: He tried to pass a bill that would have required
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: school districts to hire his firm or firms like his.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: That sounds pretty corrupt to me, and that's what he did,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: but none of the media will. If I had done
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: anything like that, they would call for my resignation, but
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: they let him just run by with it.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I think you've got him dead to rights when it
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: comes to accomplishments, and I think that a debate would
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: have been great. Why didn't the debate happen? I mean,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I think the easy answer is, well, you were available
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: for 13 days while he was missing in action. Maybe
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: that's the right answer, but why didn't it happen? You
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: said that you were trying to get it together, his
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: team and your team and whatever. It just didn't happen.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I think it would have been very beneficial.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Go ahead. I think if he had not disappeared, we
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: would have gotten something worked out. But the reality was
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: we were debating initially. They wanted me to do it
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: with reporters that I would never go on with. They
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: were totally favorable to him. Those discussions were still going on.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Then he disappeared, and we didn't have time to put
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: it together because we were putting our 17-day bus tour,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: and we didn't want to change that after he came
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: back finally.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Listen, that's a good answer. I mean, that's an absolutely
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: good answer. And why should you have to kowtow to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: him who disappeared for almost two weeks? That doesn't make
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: any sense. Do you think that the Bush family, some
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: of the members of the Bush family, Karl Rove and others,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: switching sides, saying they're going to vote for Tallarico, which
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: is stupid, does that matter to a voter, do you think?
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, this is a really difficult thing for
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: me because, you know, I know Jeb, I knew President Bush,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I know Karl, but I'm disappointed. Because, as I said before,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: you know, Republicans splitting up like this does no good.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: And I mean, it's also Cornyn as well. I mean,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: he's just not lifting a finger. We all know that.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: He's a sore loser as well. Do I think it
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: makes a difference? It does in some of the suburban
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: areas when we get outside of like Dallas and we
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: get outside some other areas where you have these suburban
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Republican voters who view themselves as being traditionalist, sort of Reagan-esque, Bush-types.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: And some of them take it very seriously. It's a
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: little click. But a click of 20,000 or 30,000 or
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: 50,000 in a race like this could do you in.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: People should be pleading with these people. Please don't do
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: this to us. Why in the world would you put
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: someone like this? This is not anything that George H.W.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Bush believed in. Nothing he believed in. And I can't imagine.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I know that President Trump has said some
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: rough things about them. And I hate that. I really do.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: But it is what it is. I don't say rough
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: things about the Bushes. I like George W. I like
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: George H.W.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I knew them both.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And I knew Jeb Bush very well. And I like him.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: The fact is, though, you've got to separate that from
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: the future of a nation that's drifting towards socialism. And
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I find it amazing that these people would play footsie
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: with something like that.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: When it comes to what's happening with Texas politics, we've
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: got a soundbite that that Ted Cruz, I think, said
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: yesterday on some show where he said, you know, we're
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: in fear of losing Texas, not just the Senate race.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: It could be a lot of other races statewide. Why
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: is that happening? I'm not here to say it's going
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to happen, but I know some congressional districts are going
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to go the wrong way. They shouldn't, but they could.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I hope that you're going to pull it off. I
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: think I feel pretty good about Greg Abbott pulling it off.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: But what is this? Is this the culmination of the
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: blue wave from California and New York and New Jersey
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: and the Midwest coming to Texas, changing the politics of Texas.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Why are we here?
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: This is very similar to what happened eight years ago.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: You'll remember midterm election, midterm for President Trump, and Ted
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Cruz squeaks it out with a 2% win, and we
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: lose a lot of other seats. I think it's just
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: a function of midterm elections, and it's not Trump. It's
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: every president just about ever had trouble in a midterm,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: and whether they're good or bad, it just seems like
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: What happens is, and I think it's something called the
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: enthusiasm gap, and what happens is if your party is
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: in power and your party is in power in the
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: state you're in as well as nationally, you're like everything
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: is good. You're not mad about anything. You're just busy,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: and you don't go vote. Well, the other side is like, well,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: I hate how this state is being run. I want
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: higher taxes, and I want all these liberal policies. And
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: I've got a president that won't do that. So they're motivated.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: They get out and vote. And so that difference of 5%, 6%,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: it makes a huge– it makes the difference between winning
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: and losing because– We do have margins in Texas. We
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: got more Republican voters. But if they don't vote, it
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter. We won't win. If they do vote, we
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: will win. It's as simple as that. Republicans get out
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: and vote and get their friends out, their family out.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: We will win. If they do not get out, then
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: the Democrats are going to make this a socialist state.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: And we're on the path towards the entire country going
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: into socialism and then communism.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Is there a dark horse race in Minnesota? Can Michelle
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Tafoya beat Peggy Flanagan? Flanagan, she's got all this fraud
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: that she's trying to separate herself from, but she knew
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: about it, or at least it was either incompetent, ignorant,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: or she knew all about it. Michelle Tafoya suddenly is
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: surging in some of these polls. I don't know if
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I believe the polls. I believe you. Can she win?
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Well, she was. In the most recent polls, they've really
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: poured it on up in Minnesota to try to catch up.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: And they may have pulled it off. I don't know.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: But it was a one point race a couple of
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: weeks ago. I think I saw a poll that that
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I respect showed it like it may be a two
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: or three point race now. But it's not inconceivable that
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: she could win because people up there are tired of
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: this stuff. And I do believe that when pollsters ask
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: questions in places like Minnesota, where it's just not cool
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: to be a Republican, they don't want to tell the truth.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: They tell the truth when they get in that voting
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: voting booth. And so I think any I think every
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: state's a battleground state this year. I will tell you this.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Even Florida is going to be close as the Senate
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: is going to go. Yeah. Senate's going to go GOP.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: The governor's race here is going to be very tight.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: So don't be shocked when you start seeing this race unfold.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: And it's a two to three point race. Nowhere is
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: safe for a Democrat or a Republican this year. It's
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: a battlefield everywhere.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you one last question. I know that
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the early the young vote, I should say, in 2024,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: really pulled in the president and the right and having
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the House and Senate. Charlie Kirk, that voice is gone.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: We don't have anybody who has replaced him on a
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: national level, like one congealed guy or gal that says
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: this is the way it is, young people. Might young
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: people sit on their hands and not vote at all
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: this time around? And conversely, are we seeing a silver
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: wave where elderly people, older people in America, not elderly,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I've got silver hair, I'm 60. But elderly people in America,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: there you go. Are we seeing where young people sit out,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: but the older people might take up the slack?
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: So this silver wave, I created that term about three
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: or four weeks ago. And it is a silver wave.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: The problem that we have going on with the silver
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: wave is it's a silver wave, but it's also made
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: up of left-wing hippie types who show up at all
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: these anti-Trump, no-kings rallies. who are turning out in droves
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: to vote the other way. Now, the young people have
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: turned on us this year that we're not seeing polls
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: that show that they support Republicans. So what the older
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the voter is and all the polls and we polled
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: every state over and over again, the older they are,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: the more likely they are to vote Republican because of socialism.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: They don't want socialism. And they are the only ones
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: who remember what it's like because.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: These other younger people have been taught in school that
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: socialism is great. They don't know the history of the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Soviet Union, don't know about Cuba, don't know about China,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: and don't know anything about Eastern Europe when it was
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: dominated by the Soviet Union. So we are getting older
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: voters turning out in the largest number possible. But what
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: we have to have are those people in the middle
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: who care about their children and their grandchildren to go
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: out and vote in a big way, because if they don't,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: these races, which are close, are going to go to
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: the Democrats.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Let me let me finish with this. I think that
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: we hold the Senate might even pick up a seat
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: or two if things go the right way. I fear
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: the House. What do you think is going to happen?
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think the House is salvageable, and I have
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: said that for quite some time. I think I'm in
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: agreement with you. An interesting thing developed today in Alaska.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: The New York Times, of all things, can you believe that?
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: The New York Times, they already have the honoring of ignorance,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: and I just pick on them left and right. And
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: they suddenly uncovered the fact that allegedly the Democrat campaign
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: in Alaska recruited the individual who has the basic same
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: name as our Republican Senator, Sullivan.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know what Alaska's only got 608,000 registered voters.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: So a scandal like that breaking at the last minute,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: that could really move. I think Alaska may change. I'm
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: polling it. I'll know in the next few days. I'm
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: not going to miss.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I saw the story. I did not expect Alaska, though,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: to be in play, which is great. I also see
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: that Lisa Murkowski is somehow now supporting a Democrat. I mean,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: she's such a mess. But now Maine, I think, is solid.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I think you might grab Minnesota. I know it's a
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: long shot. Michigan, I feel very good about. And even
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: if Tallarico were to win here in Texas, which, God forbid,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I think that you still either hold the same number
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: or maybe gain one. We know that James Tallarico is
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: a gun grabber. I've got five guns. not 10 feet
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: from where I'm sitting right now, because I enjoy my
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Second Amendment. I enjoy how we get to utilize it
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: here in Texas. What about the come and take it tour?
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, that has more meanings than just guns. But
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: of course, the direct reference is guns. Talk about his want,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: his desire to take the guns out of my hands
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: and to kill the Second Amendment. And tell me what
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: you're hearing on this come and take it tour.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt that he wants to take away
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: our Second Amendment rights. He's He learned from Beto not
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: to talk about it, but there's no doubt that he
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: wants to take away our state. Anything that would seem
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: like it was constitutional, he seems to be against. So yeah,
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: I'm hearing from people that understand that we have a
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: huge risk here of losing a state. And once we
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: lose that state, we lose the country. They will control
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: the elections of the states that they win, and they
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: will make sure we never win again. Their goal is
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: a one-party country, and then they're going to add Puerto
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Rico and the district of Columbia and make it so
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: impossible for Republic for there to be competition. Oh yeah.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: You'll have Republicans win certain places, but we will never
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: have the opportunity to control. They will run this like
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: a dictatorship. That's where we're headed and people need to
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: hear that. And that's the message that we're trying to
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: get out.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Voted for you. I've been telling people why you're the
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: right guy because of your record as the attorney general.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: And I've been calling out his lies every single day.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Just give me a quick prediction before you run upstairs.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a close election, but we're going
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: to pull it out in the end. Election Day really
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: matters because our voters tend to show up in bigger
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: numbers on Election Day. That's why it's so important. Bring
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: a friend. Bring a couple of friends. Bring your family.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Just make sure that every Republican in your contacts has
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: voted in this election.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Great advice, Ken. Good luck to you. Be safe on
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: the bus tour. We'll talk to you very soon, my friend.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the time today.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Joe. Have a great, great, great weekend.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: All right. You too, my friend. That's it. Ken Paxton, U.S.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Senate nominee for the Republicans here in Texas. I hope
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: you go and vote for him.
