00:01:02.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:39.000For years, Democrats have pushed the boundaries in the pursuit of power.
00:01:44.000This story is very interesting, but we're out to focus on in Texas because it's consistent with the Senate parliamentarian story.
00:01:50.000It's consistent with the Senate blue slip story, the Senate rule story.
00:01:55.000While the Democrats have gone full throttle to destroy the United States, we have always been, oh, we take the high road of virtue and tradition while they are crushing us.
00:02:08.000Almost every major Democrat swing state has gerrymandered, not the swing state, but home state gerrymandered their maps to be so difficult for Republicans to be able to win swing districts like Illinois, like New Jersey, like California.
00:03:11.000What happened in 2020 during the COVID and the census?
00:03:18.000The Republican House back then went and shored up the support for their own districts and ended up leaving a lot of open seats basically for Democrats.
00:03:31.000And I am glad President Trump made a call and finally said, okay, Texas, actually, you can actually bring in another five state, five congressional districts for us.
00:03:42.000So over the past year or so, we've been working on it with RNC and also with Michael Watley.
00:03:49.000Many of our congressional members helped on this.
00:03:52.000And then finally, we're at a place we are going to have a map that actually represents the people.
00:03:59.000Hermit sent out a memo from DOJ saying there's four districts that are gerrymandered based on race, which is illegal.
00:04:07.000We can do it on political reasons, but I didn't think the Texas leadership had the fortitude to do it.
00:04:13.000But we finally have a president who is asking for it and it's getting done.
00:04:18.000So walk us through the geography of this, though.
00:04:19.000So what is the significance, the proposed contrast between the current maps and where we could potentially be?
00:04:26.000How many seats could Republicans potentially pick up?
00:04:30.000We believe we can pick up five new seats for the Republican side, which we currently have 25 seats on our side, 13 for Democrats.
00:04:39.000I think it's going to be 30 for Republicans and 8 for Democrats out of the 38 seats we currently hold.
00:04:47.000And during the census, it was a whole mistake, and the party was against it back then.
00:04:52.000Even our Texas House seats are 70, 80% Republican on certain areas of Texas.
00:05:01.000And it's the same thing for congressional maps.
00:05:03.000You know, a lot of these congressmen, they just don't want to go out there and campaign.
00:05:07.000So what they've done is they've made a 70% district for themselves, which is giving a lot of space for Democrats.
00:05:18.000And honestly, at this point, Charlie, it's a fight for our country.
00:05:23.000And if we're going to hold the House in 2026, and Texas is bringing brand new eight five new congressional districts on the Republican side.
00:06:35.000This time around, two seats for Republicans out of the 2024 elections.
00:06:39.000Five seats can make all the difference in the world.
00:06:42.000And that is why Republicans in Texas providing five pickup seat opportunities could, in fact, make the difference between Republicans losing control of the House of Representatives and maintaining control of the House of Representatives.
00:06:54.000This is about whether or not Trump is going to be impeached.
00:07:05.000So we have 14 border counties in Texas, and out of the 14, 12 of them, we flipped to Republican.
00:07:13.000All 14 were Democrat counties, and most of them are about 60, 65% Hispanic population.
00:07:20.000And out of the 14, 12 of them came to the Republican side primarily because Donald Trump was on ballot and Biden had destroyed our country.
00:07:31.000We have a brand new elected official, a county commissioner, and one of those counties flipped from Democrat to Republican today, this morning.
00:07:39.000So we have elected officials flipping to the other side because they're just saying our values do not align with the Democrat Party anymore.
00:07:47.000We want to be part of the Republican Party and we are welcoming those people.
00:07:52.000I don't know if they're going to run on our ballot again because we just don't know if they're real Republicans, but we're trying to work with everyone up there.
00:08:00.000And a lot of these people who has been railroaded by the Biden administration, especially on the border issue and economy, now saying, yeah, Republican Party knows what we need and they're working on it.
00:08:12.000So we are going to continue to have Hispanic and Black American voters on our side in Texas.
00:08:27.000They wouldn't necessarily be able to do this if, in fact, Republicans, Donald Trump did not do so much better among Latino voters last time around than he did in 2020 because four of the pickup opportunities are majority Hispanic seats.
00:08:38.000In 2024, get this, Donald Trump actually won Latino voters by 10 points in Texas.
00:08:43.000In 2020, it was Joe Biden who won him by 17 points.
00:09:09.000Abraham, so this could potentially keep the House of Representatives red.
00:09:12.000What is the process then to get this done?
00:09:15.000Greg Abbott, House of Representatives, what is the actual timeline of the process?
00:09:19.000Well, Greg Abbott called a special meeting, special session, 30 days.
00:09:24.000He's given a mandate that he wants to redraw the districts.
00:09:28.000We currently have a map that's filed by Chairman Hunter from South Texas.
00:09:33.000And that map actually is a pretty good map.
00:09:35.000I mean, I'm not part of the process of redrawing the maps, but that new map that is proposed, it will have about five new seats on our side.
00:09:46.000There's one seat in Dallas, North Dallas, that will be flipped over to the Republican side, which is held by Julie Johnson, who is a lesbian, crazy person who really does not reflect the values of Texas.
00:10:01.000And then there's a lot of these people who are going to be losing their seats, mainly because honestly, when Donald Trump won by 14 points in Texas, a lot of these people were being, they're scared.
00:10:14.000Now with the redrawing, I think they're pretty much done.
00:10:18.000So this is going to be an interesting deal.
00:11:07.000It tells the truth about our history, how our nation was formed on biblical principles, and the importance of protecting our Judeo-Christian foundations as we move forward.
00:11:16.000God has given us an assignment to bring our faith into our world today.
00:11:20.000It starts with focusing on our own attitudes.
00:11:23.000When you take time to understand how God has consistently blessed America, pouring his grace and mercy on us over and over again, it will give you hope for the days ahead.
00:11:32.000We cannot afford to forget our past, good and bad, or we will forfeit the best opportunities of our future.
00:12:15.000I think we've been on quite a JD Vance journey the last year, haven't we?
00:12:18.000JD Vance went from a freshman U.S. Senator to now a primary part of the Trump coalition and a phenomenal vice president of the United States.
00:12:28.000In fact, I was just chatting with J.D. the other day.
00:12:30.000He's in good spirits, and I think he's doing a terrific job.
00:12:34.000JD Vance had some very sharp commentary about immigration and about Europe.
00:12:39.000Let's listen carefully to the vice president of the United States and maybe the 48th President of the United States, Play Cut 393.
00:12:46.000Yes, the Europeans annoy me sometimes, and yes, I disagree with them on certain issues, but we have to remember that is the cradle of Western civilization.
00:12:53.000The entire idea of Christian civilization that led to the founding of the United States of America, that was formed in Europe.
00:13:01.000Europe is at risk, I think, of creating, of engaging in civilizational suicide.
00:13:07.000They are unable to or unwilling too many countries to control their borders.
00:13:11.000You see them starting to push back against that.
00:13:15.000You see them starting to limit the free speech of their own citizens, even as those citizens are protesting against things like the border invasion.
00:14:11.000Muslims do not believe in separation of mosque and state.
00:14:16.000They do not believe in freedom of speech, free expression.
00:14:19.000Many of them don't even believe in private property rights the way that we do or free enterprise.
00:14:22.000It's all subservient to the Sharia Allah.
00:14:26.000And migration and immigration makes it possible.
00:14:30.000You see, immigration, and I've spent a lot of time in the kind of ruling class neighborhoods this summer trying to raise money for turning point and hanging out.
00:14:37.000Immigration is where all of a sudden the ruling class gets a little bit nervous.
00:14:42.000Oh, well, you know, we can let them in as long as they come in legally.
00:15:50.000At this point, I think European elites finally realize that Muslim mass migration was a massive mistake, but they're in so deep they'd rather just basically cover up than keep on talking about it.
00:16:05.000They just want to cover up how awful it is until they're basically dead and they don't have to worry about it.
00:16:10.000There's just no way to argue that Muslims in the UK, France, or Germany has been anything other than a disaster.
00:16:17.000And remember this, Muslims are compelled to take over the government in the land that they are in.
00:18:48.000I never thought that a ceasefire was at all likely.
00:18:53.000That having been said, I honor Donald Trump for trying.
00:18:57.000The number of people being killed is terrible.
00:19:01.000And I think a ceasefire would be very much in the interest of Ukraine, which is under tremendous pressure because the Ukrainian population is greatly outnumbered by the Russian population.
00:19:13.000So the potential list of draftees of people that you could actually put into the war is much, much smaller.
00:19:27.000And the reason is that I think Putin has gotten himself into a corner where if he ends this war with anything but something that can be represented as a great victory, he will be toast.
00:19:46.000He has stirred up Russian nationalism, focused it on the Ukraine issue.
00:19:53.000He has sacrificed innumerable Russian lives at the front.
00:19:59.000And if he has very little to show for it, it's over for him.
00:21:01.000And what would then a reasonable victory for Putin be?
00:21:04.000Well, one of the problems is I'm not sure he knows what the final objective is.
00:21:11.000Oftentimes, countries go to war without a clear understanding of the mission.
00:21:17.000I think that was true for us in Vietnam 50 years ago.
00:21:21.000We didn't really quite know what victory would mean and how you can't bring means and ends together unless you know what the end is.
00:21:32.000I think the original end was to take Kiev and to install a puppet government that would control the whole country so that you would have a puppet under the Russians.
00:21:47.000So I don't know what would count as victory.
00:21:52.000And keep in mind, he has to sell it as a victory to the Russian people, but not just to the Russian people, to that rather narrower group that is powerful in Russia.
00:22:04.000And he has revved up a kind of ultra-nationalism that won't be satisfied with anything less than a whole lot.
00:22:16.000So I think he's got himself in a lot of trouble.
00:22:20.000And I think it's extremely foolish because the only country in the world that has any territorial ambitions vis-a-vis Russia, and I mean the Russia that existed before this war started, is China.
00:22:35.000It's not widely known, but Russia and China fought a war along the Amur River in 1969, major tank battles.
00:22:45.000China has a claim to Siberia or to a good chunk of Siberia.
00:22:50.000The Russians won that in the middle of the 19th century, and there was a treaty.
00:22:55.000It's one of the treaties that Chinese children are taught to look upon as the unequal treaties that have to be overturned.
00:23:54.000Okay, there's two Russian intelligentsias, and they're at odds with one another.
00:24:00.000There's one that's cosmopolitan, relatively Western-oriented, and innumerable Russians have fled Russia because of this war.
00:24:11.000They're living in Georgia, they're living in Armenia, they're living in Finland, they're living on Cyprus.
00:24:19.000There are a lot of Russians who look upon this war as a nightmare and who are themselves concerned primarily as patriotic Russians with the Chinese threat.
00:24:32.000The people that he's got to please are the KGB guys that are his subordinates.
00:24:41.000And, you know, there's quite a few of them, but think of this as an oligarchy of thugs.
00:24:49.000A lot of them trained by the KGB back in the days when Putin himself was a KGB officer in Dresden in Germany.
00:24:58.000And a lot of them share his view, which is, you know, the real enemy is the United States.
00:25:07.000Let me say a little something about that, because the Roman historian Polybius says that when you end a war, you have to think very hard about the defeated opponent.
00:25:22.000Are they broken in spirit, or do they think that they have lost the war because they yielded to circumstances?
00:25:34.000And his argument is the Carthaginians at the end of the First Punic War have yielded to circumstances.
00:25:42.000Okay, if they've only yielded circumstances, they are lying in wait for an opportunity to strike back.
00:29:11.000I mean, you know, I said something about the people who fled.
00:29:16.000I used to chair the board of a little foundation that sends Americans to places to talk and study people who are being ignored by the press.
00:29:51.000I'm talking hundreds of thousands of them.
00:29:54.000If you turn to Russia, here would be the test.
00:29:57.000If Russian youth really are dedicated to this project, are they volunteering to go fight against Ukraine?
00:30:06.000I mean, my sense is the cannon fodder that is being fed into that war comes from the periphery, from the poorest regions in Russia, and from the minorities, not from people in St. Petersburg and Moscow.
00:30:26.000They may talk an ultra-nationalist line, but are they willing to put their lives on the line?
00:30:36.000And it strikes me the failure to draft people from Moscow and St. Petersburg and the like is a sign that Putin knows there are limits to his support.
00:30:48.000In other words, it's one thing to talk it.
00:30:53.000Dr. Ray, in closing here, you've painted a very vivid picture of a superpower with a dictator that has made a mistake and he probably knows it and he's in a little too deep.
00:31:08.000That's not a good scenario for the United States of America.
00:31:13.000So then I don't want to ask you how should we get involved.
00:31:48.000If we continue to support them, it's going to go on for a considerable period of time.
00:31:53.000I think the preferable thing is to continue to support them.
00:31:57.000But I don't think we're in a very good situation here.
00:32:00.000When this thing started, the Ukrainians could have won.
00:32:05.000They backfooted the Russians that first six months.
00:32:09.000And had they had the weapons they needed, they might well have been able to push the Russians out.
00:32:16.000They did push the Russians out of a considerable area at that time.
00:32:20.000So, you know, it's a little complicated because the situation now, it looks like World War I. You've got these trenches and that's a terrible kind of warfare.
00:32:31.000But you had a warfare of a maneuver right at the beginning.
00:32:35.000And Joe Biden chose the Vietnam War route, gradual building up, rather than hammer them right at the start.
00:33:13.000This is President Trump 322 on the Russian situation.
00:33:16.000I'm not, you know, I'm not so interested in talking anymore.
00:33:24.000He talks, we have such nice conversations, such respectful and nice conversations.
00:33:28.000And then people die the following night with a missile going into a town and hitting, I mean, recently, I guess, a nursing home, but they hit other things.
