00:02:45.000So I love that clip because he's focusing on the domestic, right?
00:02:48.000And it was just, we held the event right after the kind of Iranian peace, tentative peace, which we've seen has been very fragile over the weekend.
00:03:12.000With your support, we will crush violent crime, impose harsh new penalties for repeat offenders, crack down on Marxist prosecutors and rogue judges.
00:04:09.000He got emotional when he was talking about his wife and what the American dream in Arizona means to him and his wife and what he wants to do for the future.
00:04:17.000I just thought he was completely spot on.
00:04:39.000And I just love that, Blake, because you know this as well as I do.
00:04:42.000Charlie was so focused on the American family.
00:04:44.000If he ever ran for office, that was going to be his main central crux of whatever campaign he was going to run because he believed in the power of the American family as the building blocks of a successful society.
00:04:56.000And it just feels like Andy Biggs has taken that page out of Charlie's playbook, hitting families, hitting affordability of homes, hitting prices, hitting the American dream, kids being able to afford to have families, afford to buy a home.
00:05:10.000So, I just thought that was a perfect note.
00:05:11.000I don't know if you have a thought there.
00:05:13.000It was a very strong speech, a very strong message.
00:05:14.000I think it's the message we're going to want to keep hitting in the months to come.
00:05:19.000We know it's going to be hard fought because, among other things, that's the other topic that we have to hit at the top of today.
00:05:44.000Woman, and she's been so supportive when Rush was alive and since Rush passed and left us all.
00:05:51.000And she was kind of a surprise guest at this event, and she had powerful words in defense of Erica's leadership, and I just thought it was really touching.
00:07:01.000And by the way, I think we did kind of a back of the napkin just review of the clips from this event and how many times, I mean, it was over 100 million views from this event on X alone.
00:07:36.000And with this powerful combination of freedom, the ability to live your life with your faith openly, and the chance to build a life, nowhere else like it.
00:07:46.000And nowhere else I would want to be, and I'm sure you guys feel the same exact way.
00:07:50.000It's really like, I would say my experience in that room was that Erica had a fire and a confidence and a strength.
00:08:00.000And you kind of saw her in a different way, in a different context where she's actually pushing forward an agenda, which I thought was a powerful.
00:08:12.000It's stepping up into another one of the roles that does come with having to succeed her husband, which is he always was a fighter for the next race, the next election, the next battle.
00:08:31.000And we didn't really show it in that clip, but a big theme of that was there's a lot of people who complain online.
00:08:37.000We talked last week about the black pillars and the people who just fume that nothing is happening.
00:08:42.000And a lot of her remarks were just here's all the amazing things that have happened amazing things that happened on immigration, amazing things that have happened on crime.
00:08:48.000And she also mentioned, you know, we're not people in Nigeria being killed for our faith.
00:08:54.000We're not Europeans being prosecuted for our speech.
00:08:56.000We're not Canadians being fed into the suicide pod.
00:09:00.000And so many things to be grateful for, so many things to fight for.
00:09:03.000And I think that it was that combination that certainly Charlie himself would have been delivering.
00:09:10.000So we've got to talk about this Shreveport killer dad story because it's really a really tragic story, but there's larger implications as well.
00:09:18.000So, Shreveport dad killed, it looks like, eight kids, including seven of his own children.
00:10:05.000So he was going through a divorce, kills the kids and shoots one of the moms in the heads, then goes to his girlfriend, his, you know, I guess his baby mama to use the jargon of the day, and shoots her in the face and kills three more kids.
00:10:22.000So seven of his own kids, eight kids total.
00:10:26.000And it looks like one of the boys, we're not sure if it was one of his sons or not, but there was a 13 year old boy that climbed up on a roof and jumped out off the roof to escape.
00:10:35.000He broke his leg and is going to survive.
00:10:40.000The two women are in critical condition.
00:10:41.000So, this death toll in theory could rise to 10 and just a complete tragedy.
00:10:48.000Then he carjacks a vehicle and speeds away, gets in a police chase with the police, and basically a terrible story altogether.
00:10:57.000But we find out then, after as news reports begin circulating, that in March 2019, three years after completing his military service, Elkins was arrested on a charge of illegal use of weapons and carrying a firearm on school property.
00:11:14.000More than that, because what he did is apparently he had some confrontation with a man in a car.
00:11:20.000According to Elkins himself, the man pulled a gun and pointed it at him.
00:11:25.000But then, as that car drove away, he pulled out his gun, fired it five times after that car, apparently in the direction of the high school, was where the round was going.
00:11:35.000And the end result of that was he pleaded guilty and he received 18 months probation.
00:11:41.000Not 18 months in prison, not 18 years in prison, but 18 months.
00:12:21.000Five shots in the direction of a car, in the direction of a school, and this guy's let back onto the streets almost immediately with 18 months probation.
00:12:55.000And the reason it's crashing is they have a DA who is a Democrat, but he's said, okay, we're actually going to enforce those gun crimes.
00:13:05.000Like in this case, we're routinely getting undercharged.
00:13:08.000That if you say and if you mean it, that if you're caught carrying a gun while you're a felon, if you use a gun while you're a felon, if you have any reason you're not allowed to be carrying or using a firearm and you get caught, We will punish you, and it's going to be multiple years.
00:13:25.000And that gets the dangerous ticking time bombs off the street.
00:13:29.000And it also means anyone with a brain who doesn't want to go to prison stops carrying illegal guns in the first place because you know, I'll go to prison for five years.
00:13:37.000And if they're not smart enough to make that correction, then they're probably not smart enough to be on the street.
00:13:44.000It's this basic thing here that sadly we would possibly have these people, these children still alive if we just bothered to enforce these laws.
00:13:52.000And it reveals something else about the left that they often agitate for gun control.
00:14:00.000But the best thing we could do to suppress crime in a lot of places is enforce the gun laws we already have.
00:14:05.000Because everywhere in the country, it's illegal for a felon to just be carrying a gun around.
00:14:09.000It's illegal to just blast a gun off right next to a school.
00:14:13.000And if you enforce those laws, You will prevent future tragedies because very few people start with murdering children as their first offense.
00:14:23.000Yeah, well, again, there's too much discretion in the judicial system when it comes to judges and the sentences that they can levy against criminals.
00:14:32.000This guy pleads guilty to plead down to an 18 month probation.
00:14:35.000They probably looked at the fact that he was an army vet, they probably looked at the fact that he's a family man, that all this stuff.
00:15:05.000There's bigger picture things, which is, for example, we should make sure it's Louisiana.
00:15:09.000I suspect they do this because Louisiana has crowded prisons.
00:15:12.000Well, what you need to do is bite the bullet, have more prisons, have more funding for prosecutors, and if you need to, more funding for judges.
00:15:23.000As we've seen in the case, we're all following it.
00:15:25.000It's moving slowly, and that doesn't make people feel there's justice either.
00:15:29.000You want criminals to be rapidly brought to justice, quickly and efficiently punished with a penalty that is consistently severe for crimes that warrant it.
00:15:38.000Yeah, I mean, 18 months probation in this instance, lethal force in public, that's crazy.
00:15:46.000Imagine what they would do in some of these Asian countries.
00:15:49.000There'd be lashings involved and being put in prison for a while.
00:15:57.000I wasn't expecting this, I have to say.
00:15:59.000But Death of Recess, it stopped me in my tracks.
00:16:03.000This isn't about dodgeballs and jungle gyms.
00:16:28.000How organizations like the NEA amassed enormous influence, how radical gender ideology entered classrooms, and why something as basic as recess, movement, freedom, childhood, you know, had to go.
00:16:44.000Institutions protect themselves, they do not protect your kids.
00:16:47.000And that's why this documentary exists on Angel Studio streaming platform, Angel Guild.
00:16:52.000Angel Guild is willing to distribute films that challenge powerful systems when legacy media won't touch them.
00:16:59.000So, right now, go to angel.com. com slash Charlie and watch Death of Recess right now.
00:17:05.000If you're a parent or plan to be, you need to see this.
00:17:07.000That's angel.com slash Charlie and watch Death of Recess.
00:17:15.000All right, without further ado, we have Attorney General Ken Paxton from the state of Texas, who's also a candidate for the United States Senate that we're going to get into in just a few minutes as well.
00:17:26.000Welcome back to the show, Mr. Attorney General.
00:18:17.000And so we actually, because it's federal election laws, Federal Election Commission, we actually referred it to them.
00:18:24.000I know you wouldn't be shocked to know that the Biden administration did not pursue anything against ActBlue and they continue to raise money.
00:18:30.000So then, of course, more recently, there was testimony in front of Congress by some of the ActBlue lawyers acknowledging that ActBlue had lied to Congress.
00:18:39.000They had not disclosed some of the problems with their fundraising, including potential using straw names and Using names that were not matched to the actual donors and also potential foreign investments, which is also completely illegal.
00:19:11.000We're going to use discovery to try to understand more fully how big of a problem this is.
00:19:16.000So, I saw a story this weekend about there was some Chinese organized crime network that was gobbling up gift cards and prepaid debit cards and funneling that money to various places.
00:19:30.000And one of the things that I see here in your press release is that a lot of people are able to use prepaid debit cards and gift cards to actually make donations on this website.
00:19:43.000So, you've got foreign organized crime rings that we know are using gift cards for nefarious purposes.
00:19:50.000And then you conveniently have Act Blue that doesn't seem to have safeguards for similar types of donations or purchases.
00:21:26.000What's your ability as part of this lawsuit, as part of this investigation, to bring in, you know, you could maybe collect information that applies to the whole country?
00:21:35.000Is there any dimension where you can work with the FEC or offer up stuff you're able to find and speed up whatever investigation they're able to do?
00:21:42.000Well, I love that question because the.
00:21:55.000We filed this letter with the FEC several years ago and no response.
00:22:01.000So, obviously, the information that we get, we will disclose to the public and to the federal government and we will use it in our own lawsuit.
00:22:13.000We think now with new leadership, we've got a much better chance, obviously.
00:22:16.000So, yes, we are hopeful that the information that we gather, which we expect to be even more than what we have now, will be very helpful to the federal government and hopefully them taking action.
00:22:30.000I was going to get to it, but you are running for U.S. Senate, and your primary contender is the sitting U.S. Senator from the state of Texas, John Cornyn.
00:22:42.000And there has been a little bit of news around the endorsement or lack thereof from President Trump.
00:22:49.000Give us an update on the race and maybe any insights into that endorsement story that we all heard so much about as well.
00:22:57.000So, in the first round, I've been campaigning for a year as of April the 8th.
00:23:01.000We just had our March 3rd primary, we had eight people in the race.
00:23:04.00018% went to other candidates, including Wesley Hunt.
00:23:24.000Mr. Attorney General, I'm sorry to interject here, but when I think about where that money could be spent, and we're staring at a midterm that is not assured, the outcome is not assured that we even keep the Senate.
00:24:09.000Uh, it's clear from their actions from John Corner's actions that incumbency protecting incumbents we're going to have a Republican in the state.
00:24:16.000We didn't need to spend that money here, we could have spent it in a general election either here or North Carolina or Michigan or Maine.
00:24:22.000We have lots of places these other senators are being hurt by this, and these other opportunities are being hurt.
00:24:29.000So, the majority is secondary to getting John Corner elected.
00:24:31.000Which, really, I mean, if donors really understood that, I'm not sure that they wouldn't have an impact on fundraising.
00:24:37.000Certainly, would me if I were giving, I'd want to know.
00:24:40.000Hey, you're taking my money that I expected to go against Democrats and using it against a conservative Republican in Texas.
00:24:47.000What's the benefit to the party for that?
00:24:52.000It's so infuriating to me because, you know, Turning Point, for example, let's just use round numbers, about a hundred million dollar org, which is significant.
00:25:00.000It's not the biggest in the space by any means.
00:25:21.000I mean, we already know they're spending more right now.
00:25:23.000We've got five weeks left till this is over, four weeks till early voting.
00:25:27.000How many more millions of dollars is it going to take to get an incumbent who's been in the Senate for 24 years?
00:25:32.000No one in Texas has ever run for five terms, not Sam Houston, who was the holder of this seat when it was founded and we became a part of the republic.
00:25:42.000So no one's ever been in office that long and no one's ever accomplished less in the 24 years plus.
00:25:48.000Actually, he's been in office for over 40 years and has literally no accomplishment.
00:26:42.000That people tell their friends, tell their family, encourage because we had 2 million people vote in the primary, probably have less than a million vote in the runoff.
00:26:52.000As far as where the race is at, every race, every poll I've seen on the head, the last poll I saw, we were at 48, John was at 40.
00:26:58.000With the Trump endorsement, John would go to 42, I'd be at 45.
00:27:03.000Without it, I would be at 55, and he'd be at 35.
00:27:07.000So it's interesting to see those numbers, but they don't really matter until election day.
00:27:12.000So, you know, polls are polls, and they don't, what matters is, People getting out, and I don't want people to rest or relax because we have a real opportunity to change Texas and the country with the change in leadership from Texas.
00:27:24.000Mr. Attorney General, we have your back.
00:28:10.000We heard you, but we actually think it's important that you see the violence and the grotesque nature of these crimes by people who should never be here.
00:28:20.000Who shouldn't have been here in the first place.
00:28:23.000So now there's a different story, not the Haitian story out of Fort Myers, where the guy was on temporary protected status.
00:28:30.000And then, by the way, a bunch of GOP House members thought it would be a good idea to extend TPS indefinitely, apparently, for Haitians.
00:29:27.000So, this is what they say this criminal legal who never should have been allowed in the country in the first place is accused of savagely beating a co worker to death.
00:29:35.000This is the I statement with a sledgehammer and leaving him to die in a house they were renovating together.
00:29:40.000Our officers are working tirelessly to restore integrity to our nation's immigration system to bring an end to the carnage and unnecessary suffering in this country that's caused by criminal illegal aliens.
00:29:51.000And we won't rest until we've accomplished that mission.
00:30:19.000It's making it way harder for normal Americans to get normal jobs.
00:30:24.000And for some reason, and I'm looking at you, big ag, I'm looking at you, big hospitality, you guys want to make sure that these people stay in the country instead of paying Americans a living wage.
00:30:35.000And this is the result people getting killed left and right, getting beat to death with sledgehammers or hammers.
00:30:42.000And I'm so sick of the arguments where people are like, oh, but we have to have compassion.
00:30:48.000No, compassionate immigration policy, so called, is cruelty to Americans.
00:31:05.000The blood will be on the hands of big ag and big hospitality if you continue pushing this amnesty, diet amnesty, whatever you want to call it.
00:31:12.000Oh, no pass to citizenship, has to pay a fine.
00:31:15.000And I'm candidly, I don't think the movement wants to hear about it.
00:31:18.000Because if you guys rain on our parade here, if you take out the enthusiasm from the base, then we will get our just desserts when it comes to the midterms.
00:31:27.000We will be roundly defeated in the midterms if you go soft on immigration, if you go soft on deportations.
00:31:33.000None of us want to hear about it anymore.
00:31:35.000I'm sick of even having to sort of play in the middle or what.
00:31:47.000Yeah, we will event like, You're inevitably going to have crimes that are homegrown, but the proper crime rate for people you let into this country should be nearly zero.
00:32:02.000What should we change to make sure this never happens again?
00:32:04.000And as a result, we have almost no plane crashes in America.
00:32:08.000They're very rare, they used to be way more common.
00:32:10.000It should be like that with immigration.
00:32:12.000Anytime a guy like this, the Haitian hammer person, this Venezuelan sledgehammer person, every single time one of them becomes a murderer, assaults someone, Rape someone, kidnap someone, it should be required.
00:32:25.000How did this person ever get into America?
00:32:26.000What can we change to make sure this never happens again?
00:32:29.000Because these people just should not be here, period.
00:32:32.000Let me just like see, explain to you another way that this story is related.
00:32:36.000The massive number of U.S. anchor baby births in 2023, which apparently is the last year we have on record, is the highest total since 2010, which was insane to me that we were already dealing with this number in 2010.
00:32:49.000When 325,000 babies were born to illegal immigrant parents, this is according to Pew data.
00:32:56.000So, not only are we letting these people in and we're letting them kill people with sledgehammers or cars or their CDLs, whatever, we're also letting them have babies at record numbers hundreds of thousands of babies.
00:33:30.000If we get a 5 4, that'll be the best 5 4 decision in my lifetime.
00:33:35.000Children of illegals owe their allegiance to the country that they came from.
00:33:39.000They do not owe their allegiance or their loyalty to us.
00:33:43.000That's not what the law was made to do.
00:33:44.000It's not what the amendment was made to do, the 14th Amendment.
00:33:47.000It was made to make citizens out of freed slaves and their children.
00:33:51.000The bastardization of our rule of law in defense of foreigners that have no business being here, have no allegiance to this country, like my kids do, like Blake does, like our team in the studio.
00:35:13.000And one, it's okay, thankfully, isn't happening under this admin, but it happened under the previous one.
00:35:17.000And we still have Republicans fighting to defend this who flip out at the idea that we roll back our asylum system.
00:35:24.000There was another headline I saw today.
00:35:25.000So the Trump administration had fired one of our immigration judges.
00:35:29.000And so that guy went and he decided to make a pilgrimage to the mountain home in Guatemala of the extended family of the last group of people he granted asylum to.
00:35:39.000Here's an idea if you can go on a fun little white guilt savior trip, To Central America to take selfies with someone, that country doesn't get to claim asylum in the US.
00:35:50.000I don't mean to get so worked up, but I feel like you guys probably feel the same.
00:35:53.000Send us an email, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:35:59.000Imagine being a young woman just finding out that you're pregnant, not knowing where to go or what to do, not even knowing exactly what is going on in your body.
00:36:08.000While the whole world tells her it's just a clump of cells, you and I, we both know the truth.
00:36:15.000And once she has an ultrasound that you provide and she sees the truth of the baby growing inside of her, you help her choose life.

00:37:15.000We have one of my favorite guests back on today, and that's Sean Davis, who's the CEO of The Federalist and a co founder of that great publication that I check every day.
00:37:25.000There's only a few, and it's one of them.
00:38:09.000Even some of the Senate candidates that are far left are gaining traction.
00:38:13.000But what's really creepy is just how much they are willing to go against things they even previously said.
00:38:19.000I'm going to play this clip from Obama, who's been out front trying to push for the Gerrymandering this 10 1 map in Virginia, state that Kamala Harris won by about five points.
00:38:30.000But they're all in on this, despite their previous comments.
00:39:17.000But about 100% of Virginians want election results to be respected.
00:39:21.000We're deeply worried that Donald Trump will try to interfere with the election results this November or in 2028 because we saw him do it before.
00:39:33.000We're giving Virginians a chance to vote, which Republican states have not done, about whether they want to have a congressional delegation that will stand up against Donald Trump's tyranny.
00:39:57.000And one thing they understand about politics in this country is that if you can just get into office by whatever means necessary, you can kind of do whatever you want.
00:40:07.000That was the lesson of the Obama presidency.
00:40:09.000It was certainly the lesson of the Biden presidency.
00:40:11.000He barely won and then came in and tried to deliver 100% of what Democrats want.
00:40:16.000And so, what Democrats have realized is, hey, let's just lie about who we are because who we are is actually deeply unpopular.
00:40:22.000People hate the things that we really deeply believe in, like transing children and taxpayer funded abortions through the moment of crowning at birth.
00:40:32.000These are absolutely abhorrent views that most people in this country don't share.
00:40:36.000And so, Democrats have just realized, hey, we're just going to lie about who we are.
00:40:50.000And, you know, it's at some point you have to stop getting mad at them for doing the thing that is best for them as a party.
00:40:58.000And at some point you just have to get mad at your own party for not understanding the game and not getting wise to it and not fighting on the terms that the other side is fighting on.
00:41:06.000Well, check out this tweet from Abigail Spanberger from 2019, the now governor of that state.
00:41:30.000Sean, looking at Virginia, and Blake deserves a ton of credit because he's been the one on our team that's like, we have to talk about Virginia.
00:41:56.000What are you seeing in the polling and on the energy on the ground?
00:41:59.000I know a lot of your team is based right there in Virginia.
00:42:02.000Yeah, so it's Spanberger is again a really interesting test case of whether words matter.
00:42:08.000And what Democrats do when they talk, they don't use words like you and I use words.
00:42:13.000To us, words have fixed meaning over space and time.
00:42:16.000A certain word means the same thing today as it did 10 years ago.
00:42:19.000Democrats do not view language in that same way.
00:42:22.000Language is a weapon that they use to manipulate people into giving them what they want.
00:42:27.000And that's why she can go and say that thing back in 2019 and say gerrymandering is bad because at that time for her and for Democrats, it was bad.
00:43:18.000And truthfully, it's very tough in Virginia specifically.
00:43:21.000We've been, I don't know if blessed is the right term, but Democrats, when they mismanage California, they can drive everyone out because they make it, you can't really afford to live there.
00:43:40.000I know there's concerns about Californication, but actually, it mostly has driven out somewhat conservative leaning voters, and it's helped us in a lot of swing states.
00:44:05.000DC is the one city in America that never has an economic crisis, and they're able to use this to just endlessly fund.
00:44:12.000Well, by the way, you know, when we talk about people blackpilling and all this stuff, listen, the federal employment level is the lowest it's been since 1965.
00:44:56.000On the east side of the river, and you had a little bit in Virginia on the west side.
00:45:00.000Well, at some point over time, they gave Virginia that land that was west of the Potomac back.
00:45:05.000If you want to get rid of Virginia as a blue state forever because of Northern Virginia's grip on the country and Lockheed and Raytheon and all the government there, take it back, put it back in D.C., and overnight, Virginia is a red state again.
00:45:18.000I've seen this theory floated, and I actually think it's great.
00:45:22.000The original map included Northern Virginia.
00:45:24.000And then by virtue of some sort of presidential decree, it was given back to Virginia, but you could take it back legally.
00:47:32.000A source of constant frustration to me that Republicans, especially those in Washington, don't seem to understand that Democrats are not messing around.
00:47:44.000They reward their friends and they punish their enemies, namely us, and that they're not screwing around anymore.
00:47:49.000So when James Carville, who's not a nobody, it's kind of a big name in Democrat politics, when he is out there going and saying this out loud, you should take it very seriously.
00:48:00.000Understand what they want to do to you.
00:48:02.000Understand what they want to do to this country.
00:48:04.000They're not just going to come in and get 51% of the power and then give their base 51% of what they want.
00:48:10.000They're going to come in and do everything they can forever to make sure that no one can ever wrest control from them ever again.
00:48:17.000So we just were talking to Ken Paxton about John Cornyn and his history as, did he say Texas's longest serving senator?
00:48:27.000What are the structural reasons you think that it does feel like?
00:48:32.000Democrats on balance are a bit better at responding to bubbled up concerns of their base, that they're ready to deliver on this very radical platform because the Democrat base wants it.
00:48:43.000Whereas we were talking about Cornham, we were talking about Republicans, if not quite updated, to we don't want amnesty for Haitian illegal immigrants or Venezuelan illegal immigrants who are attacking people with hammers.
00:48:57.000It does seem so consistently the Republican leadership doesn't get it.
00:49:03.000And why are we so consistently stuck with leaders who don't get it?
00:49:06.000Yeah, I think it's a fantastic question, by the way.
00:49:08.000I think the major reason is control of the media.
00:49:11.000And for whatever reason, way too many Republicans who find their way into Washington still care about what the New York, D.C. media thinks about them.
00:49:21.000And so the New York Times and the Washington Post and CNN and all of them can come out and say awful things about you if you want to deport people who are here illegally.
00:49:30.000Buckle because they don't like having mean things said about them.
00:49:33.000So, the first thing I think that matters is Republicans, Republican donors, Republican activists need to understand how important media control is.
00:49:42.000It's not just enough to have the internet, these legacy corporate outlets do matter.
00:49:47.000They have real cultural and political power.
00:49:50.000And then, number two, I think unfortunately, a lot of Republicans who end up in Washington are really just cowards.
00:50:00.000They don't have the stones in the spine to do what needs to be done to save the country.
00:50:04.000So they can be bullied into not doing things that really need to be done.
00:50:08.000Democrats, say what you will about them, do not seem to have that problem.
00:50:12.000They do not seem to have a problem with dealing with the political consequences of what they want.
00:50:17.000Because look at Nancy Pelosi with Obamacare.
00:50:20.000She knew that it was going to hurt Democrats for a cycle or two.
00:50:25.000But she knew that what they were going to do was going to so radically change the country and the economy that in the long term, It would accrue to the benefit of Democrats.
00:50:34.000And they just seem to have a longer term thought process when it comes to politics and much stiffer spines politically than Republicans can do.
00:50:42.000So, I mean, we've got to take control of the media so that we can actually eliminate some of these incentives that Democrats create.
00:50:48.000And then we also need to be electing people with a lot bigger balls and a lot stiffer spines.
00:51:41.000And they hurl this at turning point action all the time.
00:51:43.000And they blame us for any loss that happens in Arizona because we backed the candidate that was too conservative or whatever, right?
00:51:52.000I am telling you, and maybe you have a thought on this, but going ahead of the midterms, you know, this push for diet amnesty, all this kind of garbage, they are going to depress turnout if they don't give the base what it wants and what it's demanding.
00:52:47.000We are talking about the Republic of Texas, one of the most conservative states in the country, a state that has not had a statewide elected Democrat in I think like 25 years.
00:52:57.000And you're telling us that a guy who's currently in statewide office right now and has been for years is too conservative.
00:53:03.000It's just a bunch of lies because they want to help out their buddies.
00:53:06.000And they don't like the idea of actually having to do anything that they promised to do last time they ran.
00:53:11.000Well, and they're prepared to waste about $150 million on John Cornyn.
00:53:15.000Instead of fighting Democrats with that money, instead of funneling it somewhere useful to maybe maintain control of the House or maintain control of the Senate in the midterms, no, we're spending it against Ken Paxton.
