Today, really important program, the coming battle over rare earth minerals with China.
00:00:35.560
This sounds boring as snot, but it's really not.
00:00:38.940
I tie four or five stories together that nobody is really talking about,
00:00:43.480
and it's probably the most important conversation we can have today.
00:00:53.580
This race changes everything in Virginia, and she's about two points behind the Democrats.
00:01:04.420
Uh, Eric is a reporter with the Houston Chronicle, and he's talking about a story I had not heard about until a couple of days ago.
00:01:11.160
Something weird, really, really weird is happening in West Texas.
00:01:16.580
Um, West Texas is like, you know, Alaska, except without the snow.
00:01:22.520
It's like living on the moon with, if the moon were a lot closer to the sun.
00:01:26.620
And yet, there are these people that are city slickers that are moving in because they're getting free housing and $5,000 a month from a, some sort of millionaire or billionaire in, um, in Indiana.
00:01:39.580
He wants to change the makeup of the town and change, you know, the sheriff and the mayor and the city council and everything else.
00:01:52.160
Uh, we have a reporter on that, and it's an incredible story, all on today's podcast.
00:01:57.340
First, let me tell you about My Patriot Supply.
00:01:59.960
Every year, winter reminds us that our comfort is incredibly fragile.
00:02:04.660
And you're going to learn really fast that heat isn't just about cozy, it's about survival.
00:02:09.600
That's why the winter prep special from My Patriot Supply exists.
00:02:13.840
Turn to, uh, you know, hope we're ready to we're ready.
00:02:17.580
And that part, uh, that's the part that changes everything.
00:02:21.420
Um, you know, and this, this year they're including over $400 in free gear.
00:02:26.360
And that includes the Vesta self-powered indoor heater and stove.
00:02:31.040
It's a remarkable little unit that can warm up a room of 200 square feet and cook your meals without, you know, gas or electricity.
00:02:40.540
Plus, you'll also get the Alexa Pure, which is a water filtration system that is really amazing.
00:02:46.760
It's a water pitcher that, you know, I mean, we, we took puddle water from New York City streets and, uh, purified it and you could drink it.
00:02:55.320
I mean, I didn't, we had an intern to it, but he was fine.
00:02:58.720
Anyway, you don't want the cold temperatures to, uh, catch you off guard or your family off guard.
00:03:04.160
Right now, I want you to go to mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn.
00:03:09.100
The special order for the winter prep special from My Patriot Supply.
00:03:22.620
You know, we've been fighting every single day.
00:03:24.580
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:03:30.600
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:03:38.240
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:03:41.620
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:03:52.160
This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:03:55.620
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:04:11.620
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:04:18.880
If you are in Virginia, you're hearing and seeing this ad on TV.
00:04:28.020
And then you would say he needs to get out of the race?
00:04:34.520
Abigail, what if he said it about your two children, your three children?
00:04:39.360
Is that when you would say he should get out of the race, Abigail?
00:04:45.680
You're running to be governor, Miss Earl Sears.
00:04:50.800
We're talking about someone's life being taken from them.
00:05:03.700
You're supposed to stand up for all the people.
00:05:12.420
What you have done is you are taking political calculations about your future as governor.
00:05:18.480
Well, as governor, you have to make hard choices.
00:05:21.300
And that means telling Jay Jones to leave the race.
00:05:24.760
It is one of the most powerful moments I've ever seen in any debate.
00:05:31.780
And I think we've seen some powerful moments in debates recently.
00:05:38.120
Winsome, when she refused to even look at you, was it your guess she would do that?
00:05:49.020
No, it occurred to me that she was, I thought she was being cowardice, but then it occurred
00:05:56.380
to me, no, she's being calculating and cunning, which is worse because when you look it up,
00:06:02.000
a calculating and cunning politician is one who uses methodologies to turn people against
00:06:07.480
They're manipulators and they're like three, four steps ahead of you.
00:06:10.780
But then, you know, she has former CIA training and it also says that they show no emotion.
00:06:19.220
At least if you're a coward, at some point, you're going to get a backbone and you're going
00:06:22.700
to say to yourself, my God, I got to do the right thing.
00:06:32.720
And I'm thinking, this woman can't be governor.
00:06:42.220
Well, because she's thinking, well, if I tell him to get out of the race, then these
00:06:47.960
And if I tell him to stay in the race, then these folks are going to be angry with me.
00:06:52.020
And I didn't, you know, I have planned my life.
00:06:54.900
If you look at her life, she's lived a very careful, a very curated life, a very calculating
00:07:01.720
And you can see that, you know, now I got to do this and then I got to do this and then
00:07:08.040
I mean, we're all real people around here and things happen to us, but they never seem
00:07:13.060
She always seems to, you know, just work her way.
00:07:16.140
And I'm thinking, my God, this is something else.
00:07:23.940
And when she knows what the right thing to do, she doesn't take those hits.
00:07:28.100
And I'm telling you, if you're running to be governor, you've got to have a backbone.
00:07:32.740
But she's more of a calculating, cunning person.
00:07:35.600
It's, it's, that's usually what we get now from the uber left is calculation.
00:07:41.460
And they won't tell you who they are until they start enacting, until they have power.
00:07:46.160
When she was asked about the question about boys being in girls sports, it's another one.
00:07:56.020
She just looked and stared off into space as if, you know, I got this.
00:08:02.600
You know, we don't elect our politicians from above us.
00:08:07.240
And you need to come back and talk to me, you know, and ask me my opinion.
00:08:17.600
I didn't leave politics for 20 years and come back to be mealy-mouthed.
00:08:28.140
She also wants to make Virginia a sanctuary state on day one.
00:08:34.180
And she doesn't seem to understand the benefit of local police working with the federal government and federal police.
00:08:44.520
But, you see, they're trying to change things and what they do.
00:08:49.060
So she and people like her in politics, they divide the people.
00:08:54.280
They put in policies that, you know, have us at each other's throats so then they can say, see, this is why you need us.
00:09:01.500
And they, you know, ride in like the cavalry to come help us.
00:09:05.640
We don't need that because if she had stopped the open borders, fentanyl wouldn't have flowed through and killed five Virginians every week.
00:09:16.160
If she had kept the borders closed, then we wouldn't have had the Chinese communist gangs.
00:09:20.900
We wouldn't have MS-13 and Truendal Agua and all those people come through.
00:09:25.200
We wouldn't be now seeing ICE, you know, having to do what they're doing to get those who are criminally illegal gone.
00:09:35.800
And now they're saying, oh, look how bad ICE is.
00:09:46.580
You really got to, you know, think about this hard.
00:09:49.080
There is a, Stu, what was the name of that Islamic organization that she was a part of right after September 11th?
00:09:57.940
She was very, very proud of being part of this.
00:10:07.720
And I don't know if you're aware of her ties to deep ties to Islamists in Virginia.
00:10:20.780
You know, she's part of a group that, well, there are five schools here who will not protect our girls from the men coming into the bathrooms,
00:10:31.160
from the men standing full front nude in the locker rooms with girls.
00:10:35.320
And when we talk about these things, they try to make us look like we're the people who don't have any sense.
00:10:43.000
Even when I ask her about her own children, you know, Abigail, what if it's your child who comes and she's crying?
00:10:55.440
Who is this woman who wants to be our governor here in Virginia?
00:11:02.080
You know, we've created so many jobs here, over 250,000 job openings now, 276,000 people we've put back to work.
00:11:12.520
We are keeping the right to work so you don't have to be forced to join a union and then drive up wages, which doesn't help anybody.
00:11:20.560
We've gotten rid of 91,000-plus job-killing regulations, and businesses are coming.
00:11:25.700
The U-Hauls are finally coming back to Virginia, stopping here.
00:11:31.260
And she was never here when we were making all these great choices for Virginia.
00:11:45.080
Now, it was easy, right, when she was one of 435 members of Congress?
00:11:50.720
But now she's by herself, and she's got to stand on all those decisions she's made.
00:11:56.040
Even Joe Biden, in his most lucid moments, vetoed a bill that she voted for, which kept D.C. where you see the crime is today.
00:12:05.780
She's soft on crime and voted for criminal penalties to be absolutely reduced for the most heinous crimes.
00:12:27.480
Isn't the energy policy of Virginia pretty much the energy policy of California?
00:12:32.300
Aren't you guys tied together with the California regulations?
00:12:37.180
So we were until Virginians put Governor Youngkin and myself and our attorney general, Jason Nears, in office, and we got us out of there.
00:12:49.740
Because, wait a minute, Glenn, you did see that even Gavin Newsom now is suing the oil refineries and the gas industry because they want to leave California.
00:13:01.500
You've been against them, Gavin, all this time.
00:13:04.460
You and the other Democrats, and now you're suing them to force them to stay.
00:13:12.520
And, you know, Glenn, here's why this is important, that we have a head on our shoulders.
00:13:23.200
They have factories in China that don't even have any people.
00:13:26.280
The lights aren't even on because it's all robotic.
00:13:29.280
So while we're trying to figure out who a woman is, they have moved on.
00:13:34.460
China is going to eat our lunch if we're not careful.
00:13:38.200
So what is the big thing that would be the difference between you and a Youngkin administration and certainly a Spanberger administration?
00:13:49.440
What's the big thing that you bring to the table?
00:13:58.920
And for a long time, Abigail was running on our successes.
00:14:02.720
I mean, we've lowered taxes to the tune of returning $9 billion back to the people of Virginia.
00:14:08.720
Even as we kept our AAA bond rating, even as we up teacher pay 18%, even as we've been attracting businesses, even as we have decompressed the pay for our law enforcement and Department of Corrections personnel.
00:14:24.260
I mean, even as we've put in new programs to help those who are mentally ill.
00:14:47.380
Put us back in the Greenhouse Gas Initiative of California.
00:14:52.120
I mean, every single Democrat voted for this green initiative.
00:15:01.080
And you've probably heard of our energy bills where people are paying $800 a month, up to $1,600 a month, and winter is coming.
00:15:12.740
And when I'm governor, I'm going to repeal that darned act because it does nothing but drive up costs.
00:15:24.140
You know, I know nobody mentions this, and it's not really important.
00:15:26.940
It's not important to me, but it is worth mentioning, at least.
00:15:33.440
You were the first woman elected to lieutenant governor, the first black woman and female veteran to hold a statewide office in Virginia.
00:15:39.800
You will be the first black woman to be a governor if you win in Virginia.
00:15:50.100
It's remarkable for a country that everybody, you know, on the left keeps saying is a racist country.
00:15:56.420
You know who said we were not a racist country?
00:15:59.800
And by the way, Kabbalah said that there was no systemic racism in America.
00:16:06.760
I guess they forgot that a little bit later because, what, their side wasn't liking that?
00:16:14.220
I am an immigrant, and yet here I sit, second in command in the former capital of the Confederate states.
00:16:21.080
Don't tell me that America is not a great country.
00:16:24.300
And yet we have enough people on the left teaching their children, Glenn, to hate their own country.
00:16:44.680
How long have the voting, early voting been going on now?
00:16:50.040
We've been voting since, no, we're about in our fourth week now.
00:16:57.520
And this is what the Democrats have given us, open season.
00:17:03.580
And by the way, the polls are looking very good.
00:17:06.120
The Trafalgar poll shows that I am two down, but its margin of error is four.
00:17:14.480
And the Washington Post, of all newspapers, I would hope that they would tell the truth.
00:17:20.040
But they're showing polls where I'm 13 down, and they know it to be a lie.
00:17:31.800
Yeah, I was going to say, Washington Post has kind of given up on, but I appreciate it.
00:17:36.660
We're going to talk about the polls here in just a second.
00:17:39.480
Where can people go to join your campaign and help you out?
00:17:43.720
Yes, she's out raising me four to one, but by the grace of God, we're still standing.
00:17:58.240
I just think she would make a great, great governor.
00:18:03.300
She's business-minded, common sense, and really has a lot of empathy.
00:18:14.220
Headlines this week have been a mix of relief and reality.
00:18:18.740
In some places, in chaos and uncertainty, still, you know, just one turn away.
00:18:23.380
If there is one thing the past few years have taught us, it's that supply chain systems and stability can change overnight.
00:18:29.860
And when that happens, the most fragile link is sometimes the one we take for granted, our access to the medications that our family needs.
00:18:37.280
Jace Medical was created for exactly that reason.
00:18:39.660
They put emergency antibiotics and essential medications into your hands before you need them.
00:18:51.320
And your Jace case will arrive filled with real prescription-grade medicines for life's what-if moments.
00:18:58.060
It's not fear, it's responsibility, because being prepared is not paranoia.
00:19:02.820
It's what keeps small problems from becoming emergencies.
00:19:06.160
Whether that's a storm or a delay or a crisis halfway around the world, your family deserves the peace of mind that comes with Jace Medical and their Jace case.
00:19:14.540
Be ready before the world reminds you why you need to be ready.
00:19:17.900
When you order your Jace case today, use the promo code BECK, B-E-C-K.
00:19:30.060
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:19:34.800
All right, told you about gold here at record highs, and it is telling us something.
00:19:41.800
Usually, it would tell us that the dollar is in real, real trouble.
00:19:44.540
I think, and I am guessing at this now, but I think what this is telling us is that the whole world, the whole system is in trouble.
00:19:54.480
I'm going to talk to you about something to try to make sense of it here, but I don't have a good answer because we're not having these conversations.
00:20:03.520
I have told you for almost 20 years when it comes to AI, we must have these conversations now because the world is going to change overnight,
00:20:14.600
We are at the point of singularity where there is no turning back, and we haven't had these conversations.
00:20:27.440
But to win it, we may have to sacrifice so much on the altar of liberty that I don't want to fight it.
00:20:40.700
Something has shifted in the world, and most people cannot feel it yet.
00:20:44.560
But if you're paying attention, you understand there is something on the horizon.
00:20:49.260
One day soon, we're going to wake up and we're going to realize, uh-oh, I think we crossed a line here.
00:20:54.320
Quietly, silently, while no one was paying attention, everything changed.
00:20:58.800
Over the past few days, while the world has been paying attention to what is going on in Israel and the Middle East,
00:21:05.840
there's a couple of other really important headlines that have caught my attention.
00:21:11.380
And at first, they all seemed unrelated, just random stories from around the world.
00:21:15.880
But when you look closer, and this is what I think I do best,
00:21:18.740
I take things that are seemingly unrelated and say, wait a minute, wait a minute, I think they all fit into this category.
00:21:29.520
Beijing just tightened its grip on rare earth elements.
00:21:33.660
These are the minerals that make absolutely everything possible.
00:21:38.360
Your smartphone, your electric car, your missile defense system, your refrigerator.
00:21:44.080
Everything depends on these rare earth minerals.
00:21:48.660
China, because of our inaction and stupid policies over the last couple of decades,
00:22:00.760
Now what they're doing is they're choking it off.
00:22:20.620
It will take a decade to start mining them up in Alaska, where they mainly are.
00:22:26.680
That's why Donald Trump was saying, we need Greenland.
00:22:33.960
Because they're already mining them there, and we cannot lose them.
00:22:37.420
Now, they're choking it off, and rare earth stocks exploded overnight.
00:22:43.940
Because whoever controls those minerals controls the future.
00:22:51.120
Out of nowhere, they made a billion-dollar emergency order for those same rare earth minerals.
00:23:02.880
That is the sound of a military quietly preparing for something.
00:23:10.620
Like I said, we are, because of what Biden did in Ukraine, we are wholly unprepared for any kind of military action.
00:23:25.960
And at the same time, everything is changing to high tech.
00:23:30.320
We don't have the rare earth minerals and the chips now to make our guided missile systems.
00:23:39.020
JPMorgan Chase, one of the most powerful institutions on the planet, just announced this week a $1.5 trillion investment plan in what they called security and resilience.
00:23:56.860
That money is being funneled straight into AI, defense manufacturing, and critical minerals.
00:24:03.500
It's as if the Pentagon and Wall Street just linked arms and decided to build a fortress economy together.
00:24:19.060
In Europe, the Dutch government just seized control of the Chinese-owned chipmaker on their own soil.
00:24:25.580
They invoked emergency powers and nationalized the company to stop the Chinese influence over the semiconductor industry.
00:24:37.580
Four stories, four continents, four quiet tremors in the ground.
00:24:44.200
When you weave them all together, that's when you begin to understand what all of this means.
00:24:55.760
The world of free markets, the world of open trade, individual enterprise, the world that lifted billions out of poverty is being replaced now, slowly but surely, by something new.
00:25:08.980
And this one is being done in the name of security.
00:25:15.260
This is why we must pay attention and talk about it now.
00:25:21.420
Corporations now are aligning with state power.
00:25:24.400
Before, we had the tech industry aligning itself with the government to control speech.
00:25:31.520
This is the government aligning themselves with tech, rare earth minerals, etc., etc., to be able to win the AI war.
00:25:39.900
However, all of this is a single unspoken motive, and that is the race to dominate artificial intelligence.
00:25:53.060
This is the new Manhattan Project, the new nuclear weapon, except this is a million times more enslaving than nuclear weapons could ever hope to be.
00:26:03.600
Whoever masters this first, whoever gets to AI and AGI first, will control the economies, the information, even your thought itself.
00:26:20.420
Every rare earth mineral, every chip, every line of code, they're all ingredients in that same contest.
00:26:40.900
And the free market in this particular place is no longer free.
00:26:50.080
Now, that sounds bad, but now let me tell you the danger that nobody seems to get.
00:26:55.660
When nations go to war, even an economic war, freedom always becomes a casualty.
00:27:11.220
Because we don't want to live in a society like China, right?
00:27:16.540
But when survival's on the line, governments tighten control for our own good.
00:27:25.380
And one day you look up and you realize the line between democracy and technocracy is gone.
00:27:34.880
If the West wants to win this AI war, and we must, then we have to have a conversation.
00:27:47.220
Because if in winning it we become China, why not let China just win?
00:27:53.360
If we adopt the same top-down control, the same surveillance, the same merger of government and corporate power,
00:28:07.480
The old global system, free enterprise, open markets, individual liberty,
00:28:15.700
And the threads are now all coming together, and they're weaving a new tapestry.
00:28:25.800
I can guess at what that tapestry looks like, and I don't like it.
00:28:30.600
Will it be woven from freedom, or will it be woven from fear?
00:28:37.000
If we lose sight of who we are, look, our global leadership, it's already lost sight for who we are.
00:28:46.800
They'll get to this global dominance over the individual one way or another in their book.
00:28:57.420
You must be at the head of having this conversation.
00:29:05.440
this tapestry is going to be strong, efficient, and unbreakable.
00:29:15.340
And someday, historians are going to look back at this moment, and they're going to, what happened?
00:29:19.460
They're going to see these quiet headlines, these invisible decisions that are being made right now,
00:29:25.700
and they'll realize, this is when the new world began.
00:29:28.960
They will be able to look at this point and say, this was it.
00:29:39.280
We're overwhelmed with everything that we have to do, everything we're looking at.
00:29:43.400
This has been a very well-planned takeover of freedom.
00:29:48.380
You have to ask yourself, when the weaving is done, whose pattern will we be living in?
00:30:02.680
There's a story in the show prep today that I really want you to read.
00:30:05.940
I'm going to talk to you about it here in a second.
00:30:07.860
Western executives who visit China are coming back terrified.
00:30:13.100
You don't have any idea how far China is ahead of us.
00:30:18.380
And you can say, well, I don't want to be China.
00:30:23.300
Well, you will be China, and China will be controlling you if we don't push back.
00:30:30.380
But how do we push back without becoming China?
00:30:47.740
He is a Houston Chronicle investigative reporter.
00:30:51.340
And he has been reporting on this seemingly crazy story.
00:30:56.280
When you first heard about this, Eric, did you have a hard time believing it?
00:31:04.980
I did have a hard time believing it, at least the particulars of it, in terms of the general
00:31:09.660
idea that something crazy could happen out in Loving County.
00:31:14.140
I've been covering the area for a little while, and it's a peculiar spot out in far west Texas.
00:31:22.800
Is any of this, because it seems to be, when I first heard it, they're saying a lot of black
00:31:33.520
Is this in any way influenced by race, do you think?
00:31:38.420
You know, at first blush, it might seem that way, but my reporting didn't really show that.
00:31:45.960
It is true that the group of people moving in is called the melanated people of power.
00:31:55.560
But I also interviewed people in Loving County, including some black folks who live there.
00:32:00.980
And, you know, they said that there wasn't anything really racial about what was happening
00:32:07.260
Okay, so who are these people that are moving in?
00:32:14.840
So they are followers of a guy named Dr. Malcolm Tanner, who's an Indiana resident.
00:32:20.800
And over the summer, he started promoting on his social media platforms this program where
00:32:27.240
that if you moved out to Loving County, Texas, you would get a free home and $5,000 a month
00:32:36.000
And so far, about three dozen people have moved out there.
00:32:52.160
So for commissioner seats, those seats that have precincts, you can win with about a dozen
00:32:57.680
votes if you want to run for and win as a sheriff or as a county judge, which in Texas is the
00:33:05.920
You can have that office for maybe four or five dozen votes.
00:33:10.620
So yeah, 30 people is starting to build a substantial voting bloc out there.
00:33:16.660
And who is this guy in Indiana that's doing this?
00:33:24.660
He has claimed that he started this melanated people of power to enfranchise folks who typically
00:33:33.740
don't have political or economic power of their own.
00:33:41.840
But really nailing down things about him is pretty difficult.
00:33:45.500
He's got a trail of lawsuits in Indiana against the city of Muncie, against Grant County, having
00:33:54.880
He calls himself doctor, but he doesn't identify which institution conferred that degree on him.
00:34:00.420
But as I said, what he does have is a fairly sizable social media presence.
00:34:05.460
And it seems to his message seems to be speaking to a lot of people all over the country.
00:34:11.120
The folks who have moved to Levin County have come from Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina,
00:34:20.040
So you don't improve somebody's station in life by giving them free housing and $5,000 a month.
00:34:28.140
You help them create their own life and their own path.
00:34:33.100
What is his plan other than just continuing to pay for these trailers?
00:34:41.120
So paying for the mobile homes and then the $5,000 a month, that's not a plan.
00:34:49.000
Yeah, I don't know if he has a grand economic plan.
00:34:52.120
You know, what I can tell you is that based on the people who have moved out there and
00:34:55.280
kind of reading it on social media, it's, you know, the idea of a free home for someone
00:35:00.140
who can't otherwise afford one or, you know, for whom that seems out of reach is a pretty
00:35:07.080
And he has said that, you know, if we get enough people out here, we'll kind of, you
00:35:15.660
I mean, the truth is that Levin County is doing very well for itself.
00:35:19.680
Right now, it's in the middle of the Permian Basin, which is the big oil and gas producing
00:35:24.760
And they have about, you know, say 70 permanent residents and their budget this year is going
00:35:31.740
to be about $60 million for a little, so a little less than a million dollars per person.
00:35:37.140
And, you know, overwhelmingly that money comes from oil and gas taxes that they collect.
00:35:45.200
There's, you know, besides oil and gas, there's a couple of support service businesses, you
00:35:49.780
know, some gas stations, one or two restaurants, but not a ton else.
00:35:56.000
So what is the city doing to investigate, to stop this, or can they do anything?
00:36:04.260
Well, one of the really interesting things to me about Levin County is that it does have
00:36:08.380
this very long history of kind of dicey voter registration and voting out there, that there
00:36:18.200
They've been feuding in recent years and in order to kind of keep and maintain power, they've
00:36:28.740
So people who may have moved away from there, you know, years and years ago are still registered
00:36:34.480
So the result of that is that there are many more people registered to vote in Levin County
00:36:40.960
That's a long way of saying that to a lot of people, saying that a lot of people who live
00:36:45.200
out there, this is kind of the, you know, the chickens coming home to roost, that they've
00:36:48.840
promoted and lived with the system for quite a while.
00:36:51.460
And here's someone who's come in, you know, looking to take advantage of it.
00:36:55.680
So the only thing they can really do is, you know, make sure that all the boxes are checked
00:37:02.920
Outside of the county, however, there have been some investigations mounted.
00:37:07.800
A couple of state representatives have asked for investigations by the Texas Secretary of
00:37:13.380
State, which is the office that oversees elections here in Texas.
00:37:19.220
There's a U.S. representative, Chip Roy, who was asked for an investigation.
00:37:24.180
And then yesterday, our attorney general, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit asking for a restraining
00:37:30.380
order and also accusing the group of violating a handful of local laws.
00:37:35.360
His purpose seems to be trying to shut it down.
00:37:42.660
I mean, as a reporter, I know you don't report on future news, but where does this lead?
00:37:49.880
Well, I mean, the most obvious point is that living in Loving County, particularly in the
00:37:54.280
conditions that these folks are living, is pretty difficult, right?
00:38:03.200
It's just a bunch of, you know, creosote and caliche and scrubland.
00:38:11.220
And there's no services out on this piece of property that Malcolm Tanner has purchased.
00:38:15.960
He purchased two five-acre plots out there in January, and they're about a 30-minute drive
00:38:22.060
out, you know, kind of rough oil company roads outside of the only town.
00:38:26.180
It's about an hour away from the nearest grocery store.
00:38:29.380
So if your plan is to live out there in these conditions without water, without sewage, without
00:38:47.560
They have some RVs that may have their own kind of, you know, temporary power systems.
00:38:52.380
But if your plan is to run for office and the primaries are not until March of next year,
00:38:59.840
that's quite a while to basically camp, you know, in some pretty harsh conditions.
00:39:05.160
So it may resolve itself, and people may, you know, people, as you pointed out, are coming
00:39:09.540
from cities and urban areas, and they may not be accustomed to the harsh conditions.
00:39:15.960
There may be the authority of the government, you know, kind of pushing them out through
00:39:26.500
And if that doesn't happen, then it'll be fascinating to see if they actually can win
00:39:36.400
I've been following up on the investigations that have been done by the, you know, as I said,
00:39:41.600
the attorney general, I'll be following up the district attorney out there, is also mounting
00:39:47.700
I'm trying to learn some more about Malcolm Tanner.
00:39:50.920
I'm trying to learn some more about the people who have moved out there and what their
00:39:56.860
And of course, we'll be following the elections, which, as I said, are always fascinating in
00:40:01.860
Almost every election there is challenged based on residency.
00:40:05.820
So it's a never-ending source of news, despite the small population.
00:40:10.440
You know what it reminds me of is the Old West.
00:40:14.820
I mean, this kind of stuff happened in the Old West, where the big, you know, the big
00:40:19.360
money would want to change a town, and they would bring people in, and they would change
00:40:25.280
I mean, it really harkens back to the 1800s in some ways, doesn't it?
00:40:30.580
I mean, there is an element of, you know, kind of being isolated way out there in the middle
00:40:36.440
I mean, even the names of the people, you know, the old-time sheriff, who is the patriarch
00:40:43.700
His name was Punk, and the current county judge's name is Skeet.
00:40:50.160
And yeah, it's a very kind of, it's a place of rugged individuals.
00:40:55.880
And I won't say lawlessness, but definitely, you know, it's out there.
00:41:03.180
I appreciate it, and keep us up to speed on this.
00:41:06.860
Houston Chronicle investigative reporter, Erica Dexheimer, following what's happening in
00:41:16.540
All the things that are happening in Texas, where they are doing everything they can to
00:41:23.940
And I'm not convinced that that's what this is.
00:41:26.560
You know, I don't know what this is, but it is, it's weird.
00:41:33.840
Yeah, it reminds me of Wild Wild Country, the documentary on Netflix.
00:41:38.440
It was a series that came out a few years ago where it was a story of, I can't remember
00:41:42.340
the name of the group off the top of my head, but they went into Washington or Oregon and
00:41:46.100
tried to take over a town, like the 70s or 80s, maybe.
00:41:50.440
By the way, an incredible documentary, if you've never seen it.
00:41:56.960
It seems like groups do this every once in a while.
00:41:59.320
Someone, you know, with a big ego or, you know, someone would accuse some of these groups
00:42:04.040
as cultish-type behavior, like just move into areas and just take them over and try to take
00:42:09.460
over the town council and everything else so they can, you know, run their little thing
00:42:18.540
Yeah, I'm not sure what this one is, but people are comparing this with Elon Musk.
00:42:27.860
Elon Musk wasn't like, I'm going to build you a house and send you $5,000 and you don't
00:42:33.020
That's not what Elon Musk, and sending you into a trailer with no services whatsoever.
00:42:38.380
I mean, his town is going to be a model town, already is a model town in Texas.
00:42:52.420
If you've never been to West Texas, imagine the moon if it was a lot closer to the sun.
00:43:07.320
There, you know, you're in for quite a surprise if you've never been to West Texas and you're
00:43:17.640
It takes, um, it takes real pioneers to do that.
00:43:33.040
It makes the guten Îœers and the night is the most beautiful moon.
00:43:34.900
I like the beautiful moon and all course and will say.
