Trump is fined $300 million by the New York City S.P.A.E.C.U. and they want him to pay $355 million in back taxes. Will he pay it or will they get their revenge?
00:03:51.980The person in question probably dips his or her pinky toe into the real estate business by watching YouTube videos.
00:03:57.980You know, after getting home from a long day sacking groceries, you want the very best somebody who has done this.
00:04:03.980Somebody that has is surrounded by the best professionals that know all of the best business practices and know how it really knows how to advertise.
00:04:13.980So there are people already at their website ready to buy your house.
00:05:15.980According to the New York Times, Justice Arthur Engeron ruled the former president is liable for conspiring to manipulate his net net worth.
00:06:14.980But they decided to prosecute anyway, and they did it just to run his bank account and make sure that he doesn't have enough money to run for president of the United States.
00:06:28.980This is really sick on what's going on in this country.
00:06:32.980Now, Hochul has come out and said New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about because they're very different than Donald Trump.
00:06:40.980Yeah, they're not running for president against the progressives.
00:06:44.980She said she she all but admitted that her attorney general, Letitia James, the civil case and Donald Trump was a partisan affair in an interview with a local radio host.
00:06:54.980Hochul told other New York business owners that they have nothing to worry about and they will not be targeted by the attorney general's office.
00:07:03.980Well, why if this is a crime and it's good for Donald Trump, why wouldn't you be checking into all other businesses?
00:07:13.980Why would you go on the air to say this isn't going to affect any other business?
00:09:08.980And I'll tell you why and what to do about it if you're in Texas, but it is time to reinforce.
00:09:16.980It is it's it's also time to take a stand.
00:09:22.980One of the best things I have heard in a long time, and I'd love to talk to truckers.
00:09:28.980If you're a trucker and you're going to participate in this, not going to ask your name.
00:09:32.980Just call us up 888-727-BECK if you're one of the truckers that are refusing now to drive to New York City after the three hundred fifty five million dollar fraud ruling on Donald Trump.
00:09:47.980A conservative social media influencer and trucker who goes by Chicago Ray posted a video clip in which he claims some of his colleagues are going to stop making deliveries to New York City to protest the ruling.
00:10:00.980I've been on the radio talking to drivers the past hour and I've talked to about ten drivers and they're going to start refusing loads to New York City starting on Monday.
00:10:08.980So does that include any drivers that are listening to me now 888-727-BECK?
00:10:17.980They're going to refuse to make deliveries to New York and maybe other states, but they're starting with New York City.
00:10:25.980I don't know how far across the country, how many truckers are going to start denying loads to New York City, but I'll tell you what, they can just keep doing this and they'll find out.
00:10:35.980Trucker said the bosses aren't going to care if we deny the loads, we'll just go someplace else.
00:10:41.980Do you know how hard it is to get into New York City?
00:10:53.980He said 95% of truckers support the former president, which has been viewed now by 4.6 million people received more than 50,000 likes just since Friday.
00:15:19.980It's hard to know what your best options are when it comes to retirement, especially because in this economy, it's hard to know if you'll even get to retire.
00:16:14.980Businesses changed, and now Lear Capital is on our side.
00:16:20.980They're people that you can trust with $3 billion in trusted transactions, thousands of five-star reviews, and a 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee.
00:16:29.980Lear is the precious metal leader that you can trust.

00:18:42.980Is it growing or does everybody in the trucking business know about it now?
00:18:47.980Now, you know, there's a lot of, there's a lot of guys, um, that I've spoken to that they look at it.
00:18:55.980Uh, they look at it and they say, well, if I have a choice, uh, there are some company drivers, you know, smaller companies, you know, our fleet, just out of the DC that I work at, our fleet is probably 225, 250 trucks.
00:19:09.980Uh, there are smaller carriers, um, you know, guys got 12 trucks under them and he'll tell his guys, you either get that load delivered or you're fired by the note.
00:19:20.980Yeah. And, and there are some guys who trucking right now is, is hot. You can't buy a good truck driver.
00:19:27.980Uh, we have a lot of people coming in from other countries that barely know how to operate a truck.
00:19:32.980Uh, they're given credit for, if they say they had a commercial driver's license in their country for 20 years, the United States will give them credit for driving commercially for 20 years.
00:19:41.980So they'll come over here, never having driven anything more complicated than a moped.
00:19:46.980They'll get into a tractor trailer. They'll these big companies test them and they'll put them in, in a rig. And these guys will do anything for 50 cents a mile.
00:19:59.980Wow. All right. Thank you. Right now, go ahead.
00:20:03.980Yeah. Right now you can't get enough. You can't get enough drivers out there to, uh, to satisfy the demand.
00:20:08.980I hope it remains that way. Thank you so much. Roger in Alabama. Hello, Roger.
00:20:13.980Yeah. Hey, I, I drive, uh, drive into the city, uh, probably, uh, a couple of times a week delivering fresh, uh, seafood from the Gulf from Louisiana and, um, Alabama, uh, Mississippi.
00:20:26.980And, um, for me to drive into New York city, it's just, it's, it's a pain, but it pays well.
00:20:32.980Um, but so I'm not going to do that anymore.
00:20:36.980And as far as being able to recoup the loss for, you know, me, you know, from, I will be able to find loads going anywhere, finding loads.
00:20:44.980Uh, I own my own truck and I own my own trailer and I booked, I booked my own break.
00:20:48.980So finding loads is easy. Um, what some of the other, uh, uh, drivers might be talking about is the, the, the drivers that are coming around that have no experience that are willing to drive into, uh, the city who will have a terrible time.
00:21:02.980I mean, New York city, if a bunch of independent truck drivers start doing this, New York city will feel a pinch real quick, but it really won't hurt the trucking industry, you know, at all.
00:21:12.980Because there's such a demand for drivers, experienced drivers who are independent, own their own truck and own their own trailer and run their business.
00:21:19.780Well, they won't have a problem with us.
00:21:21.600You know, I got to tell you, if you don't have the fuel problem from a couple of years ago, we can survive that.
00:22:16.060So Roger, what is the, um, uh, what is the feel on how many it will take to be able to affect New York?
00:22:22.840I don't know of a number of how many it will, it will take, but the length of time will surely take effect because even if they still get goods in the New York city by some of the scab drivers, it's going to cost a lot of money, a lot of money.
00:22:38.480Because they're going to, first they're going to, they're going to feel the loss of the, uh, because it's more than just groceries.
00:25:48.180But anyway, they find, and now truckers are starting to say that they are not going to deliver things to New York in their own personal protests.
00:28:02.720But I've been looking at this and I've been trying to figure out if there's any truth to it.
00:28:05.900So I'm glad I couldn't wait till this morning to listen to you to see because a lot of times you'll hear things like this and you don't know how much truth to it is.
00:28:12.240But I'm a 100% Trump supporter and I have no shame in admitting it.
00:28:16.400And I have no problem not bringing this truck.
00:28:19.020That's the blessing that maybe being an owner-operator, I don't have to take any loads that I don't want to.
00:28:23.080But like the other guy was saying, the other guys, sometimes they don't have an option.
00:28:28.140So it will hopefully make an impact and hopefully it will make a statement that, you know, hey, we're not going to tolerate this because something needs to be done, Glenn.
00:28:38.640I mean, every time I listen to you every day of the week, you and Steve, it just, I mean, you and Stu, it just.
00:28:51.600It's a matter of are we there at a place to where we can say to one another, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
00:29:20.140And the way New York, Washington, D.C., and quite honestly, Georgia are using and manipulating the court system and and trying to in Colorado is doing the same, trying to do to cut a guy out from the people.
00:29:40.660So he can't run for president, let the people decide.
00:29:45.680They say, therefore, a republic or democracy.
00:29:49.960And when you are abusing the financial and the the the legal system, the way they are, it takes a group of people who can make a difference to stand up.
00:30:02.100And I'm I'm thrilled to hear so many truckers doing that.
00:32:16.320You're not going to take one state and just outwardly politically attack this guy, try to rip him off ballots, ruin his companies, do all these things.
00:32:24.620You you let it play out and let the people vote.
00:32:29.760And it is it's now, you know, the choice is either sit back and just become a victim of this or you do something within your own power to change the dynamic.
00:32:40.700And that's what truckers look like they're doing today.
00:32:42.860OK, so so you have like the left does this all the time.
00:32:53.500You know, commerce is really important.
00:32:56.720I mean, it's a fundamental principle of the United States that interstate trade, interstate commerce, not the crazy way they've tried to use the commerce clause, but interstate commerce is really important and fundamental to this.
00:33:10.240Are you worried about that at all if we just start targeting each other's states?
00:35:15.780You know, these places that are taking the law and distorting them and working it their way in a very anti-democratic or republic sort of way.
00:36:11.480A few hundred thousand dollars, maybe?
00:36:13.860And I know you're saying there's no victim.
00:36:15.820They'll make the case that, well, even if you try to do something that doesn't have a victim, if you're breaking the law, you're breaking the law.
00:36:22.040If they had a case that he was saying that Mar-a-Lago was $350 million and it was only worth $5 million, then you might have a case.
00:36:35.160But the details are laughable on this one.
00:36:44.580And if they screwed the bank, if they screwed the bank, if the bank didn't get their money, if they defaulted on it, that's when this would come up.
00:36:54.640I mean, look, you can make the case that whether the bank worked with Donald Trump for decades.
00:37:01.340I know, but they knew him the reason a lot, a big part of the reason they even ask you for your own assessment of these details is if you have an issue later on, they can back out of it.
00:37:32.300How many pieces of documentation do you have to have when you go in there to get a loan, even for a house, which is obviously known as a good investment?
00:37:56.720Right. And, you know, again, like rigged has a different different connotation to every person.
00:38:01.320Right. Like the idea that, well, you can't don't bother going voting, going out to vote because the election is rigged is a really bad idea.
00:38:08.380You should not listen to people who say that in this situation.
00:38:12.280That was interesting. If you're rigging an election to make it so you're the only one in on the ballot, if you're rigging the Super Bowl so that you go to play and the other team can't participate.
00:38:59.700They have so much to choose from, and you can do it all from the comfort of your own home.
00:39:04.360You get the upfront quote online, no hidden fees, and you can either do it by measuring an installation and doing installation yourself, or you can let blinds dot com come out and do it for you.
00:39:15.700There's just one low installation cost, no matter how many windows you get covered.
00:39:20.380There's a reason blinds dot com is the industry leader in online window treatments.

00:39:30.580If you're not happy, they're going to make it right for you.
00:40:35.040They just introduced the there it is, the freak flag.
00:40:38.060It has the skull and cross bones and S T F sick twisted freak, which is if you've been listening for a long time, is an endearing thing that I call the audience.
00:40:49.260And and it has the crown above the skull and bones.
00:40:54.840The reason why this is my personal logo, if you will, and my ranch logo, and it has a crown above and it's a colonial thing.
00:41:54.460We're going to spend some time on that probably on Tuesday.
00:41:56.820It's it's it's not what you are being told.
00:41:59.840It is you have to find the safest ways to invent invest so you can protect your family and all of your nest eggs.
00:42:08.920Something I recommend is putting your hard earned savings in an asset.
00:42:12.900You can trust gold or silver gold or silver and the people to help you do that is Lear Capital with over three billion dollars in trusted transactions.
00:42:21.060Thousands of stop five star reviews and 24 hour risk free purchase guarantee.

00:45:16.060It has not only allowed James to live in a more independent life, but according to him, it's also helped him be a better husband and father.
00:45:21.700Since the events of 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been committed to supporting America's heroes and their families.
00:46:05.980I'm hearing you talk about the rebuilding of parallel economies and channels for the rebuilding of society and the restoration of family and this country.
00:46:17.800And I'm so excited to be talking with you because you've done such a great job of that right here with Mercury and Blaze and all of that.
00:46:24.780And I feel like I may be on the brink of maybe one of the most important projects I've ever worked on, and that is I've partnered with Brave Books, and together we are making a brand new, one-of-a-kind children's television program.
00:46:39.380So, the power of story is just unbelievably strong, and some of the new studies and articles that I've just been reading about is unbelievable.
00:46:48.260You know, numbers of children who are now identifying themselves as either gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, non-binary, queer is now up like 4,000%.
00:47:12.880They took 140 undergraduate college students, broke them into two groups, and said, you guys read Twilight, the book series about vampires, and you guys read Harry Potter, Sorcerer in the Stone, about witchcraft and magic.
00:47:25.800And after about a half an hour, they asked them these questions.
00:47:28.480And the people who read the Harry Potter, they rated themselves higher in their abilities toward telekinesis than the rest of the general population.
00:47:40.460The ability to move stuff with their mind.
00:47:42.140And those who had read Twilight believed that the length of their teeth was longer than the length of the general population's teeth.
00:47:51.920And so, what that's telling us is story has not only the power to ignite your imagination, but teleport you into other realms of belief and shape your reality, and then you want to identify with the characters you like.
00:48:08.300Hollywood has given our generation a national identity crisis and put ideas in their mind and tapped into people's instinct to want to emulate those heroes.
00:48:23.320And if we're not controlling the stories, if we're not at least telling the best stories, we're not giving our kids a chance.
00:48:28.820So, we think it's important to be the ones telling the stories to our children.
00:48:33.740That's why God gave children to parents, not to Hollywood, not to public schools, not to the government.
00:48:39.060And we need to tell the stories, and that's why I'm leaning in to this brand new children show.
00:48:43.780If you don't think that stories matter, ask yourself, why is the number one priority to destroy the American heritage story?
00:49:16.500So, this show is called Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kirk, and it's so cool because it's a live-action children's show.
00:49:26.040So, think of like the timeless biblical moral values of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, only greatly modernized, high energy, with embedded, beautiful, animated stories inside, together with humor and surprise guest stars at every turn with every episode.
00:50:13.580And is one of the guys who is an apprentice to the creator of Elmo.
00:50:17.820And so, we've got this phenomenal team, and so, like I said, it's a mixture of live-action together with Muppet Puppet stuff and animation.
00:50:27.500And the animation is going to be telling stories that take place on Freedom Island, and they're teaching lessons about First and Second Amendment.
00:50:37.140They're teaching lessons about the fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, kindness, peace.
00:50:40.680Also, gender reality and the dangers of socialism and CRT.
00:50:44.780These are all embedded into this television show, which is unique to our generation because Mr. Roger didn't have to warn children about and explain to them that elephants cannot be birds.
00:50:57.600But we do, we do, because we have a vulture named culture in our stories that are warping reality for the animals on Freedom Island and getting them to identify in ways that will destroy their family and their community.
00:51:16.220And so, children are going to learn these principles.
00:51:18.260They're going to be pulled together into family time, and families are just going to love it.
00:51:21.840I think this could be the most important project that I've worked on.
00:51:26.900Well, we're going to record the first two seasons, and then we're going to air five of them on YouTube, Rumble, everywhere where it's free.
00:51:37.360And then we're going to invite people to come into the family and see all of the episodes.
00:51:42.060And in order to do this, we've got to raise funds to pay for this.
00:52:23.800Brave Books and I, we're the ones who've been going to the libraries, reading the kids' books, contra the drag queen story hours.
00:52:31.000We've been challenging Scholastic and their pornographic woke machine that is indoctrinating kids, finding alternatives for schools and their book fairs.
00:52:41.400And now, Brave and I are making this TV show.
00:52:44.380So, if you want to help us, we need your help.
00:52:49.880I tell you, it is, it feels like we get our head handed to us almost every day.
00:52:56.260Something else, and they have infiltrated everything.
00:53:00.180And they laid quiet for a long, long time.
00:53:03.520But when you look at, especially in this industry, your industry, my industry, the last 10 years, people have not been sitting on their laurels and doing nothing about it except whining.
00:53:16.360It's a reason why that they are talking so much about disinformation and misinformation and trying to, you know, silence people like you, silence people like me.
00:53:26.140Anybody who disagrees with the administration or the woke left, they're going to try to destroy.
00:53:33.440Look at the difference between what we were producing 15 years ago and what we're able to produce now.
00:54:04.620When I look at history, I see that it is often during the times of the setbacks that people, you know, they grab their head and they say, what have we done?
00:55:08.100He said, Glenn, it's not going to happen that way.
00:55:10.000He said, the Lord's going to talk to individuals this time.
00:55:13.440He's tired of people like me getting credit, he said.
00:55:16.180So you're going to talk to individuals.
00:55:17.580And they're all just going to do their little part.
00:55:20.540And he said, pretty soon the lights come on and you will see a mosaic of something that could have only been done by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
00:55:37.700God often, as I look through the scriptures, seems to use nobody's from nowhere with nothing to offer but a heart fully surrendered to him.
00:55:45.860And they do their thing in the corner and then God amplifies it in the open.
00:56:05.020It's, I've seen it in my own life where I try to do it my way.
00:56:10.320And God will let you, when you think you can do it yourself, he'll let you, and then you'll figure it out eventually.
00:56:16.460And everything that I did that was bad, that I thought God could never forgive me for, he's made those things in some ways a strength that I understand people who are in that place in their life.
00:56:31.180I can speak to those people in a completely different way.
00:56:35.040And it's amazing to me how God, there's just no waste.
00:56:39.680And anybody who's saying that, well, I can't be redeemed or I have nothing.
00:56:54.360I've been in Hollywood my whole life and, and as a producer and as a writer, I tend to try to determine outcomes of the audience so that we're successful with our projects.
00:57:07.100And I'm realizing that I'm, I'm really, God is a much better script writer than I am.
00:57:11.860He's much better at producing and determining outcomes than I am.
00:59:08.040So what is it going to be like going up against the television, Children's Television Workshop?
00:59:13.740Well, you know, I feel like we're kind of standing on their shoulders, or at least Jim Henson and the Muppets and Mr. Rogers and all of that stuff.
00:59:24.280But I just heard Elmo talking about transgenderism, and it's like, what is happening?
00:59:38.960I think over the last several years, there has been an increase of about 255 regular series characters for children that are either lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual, non-binary.
00:59:59.140And children between the ages of 6 and 17 who are identifying with those categories of identities and who are actually showing up in the ER with suspected suicide attempts because of their anxiety and depression, all that stuff, is all going up.
01:00:17.920And this has been happening since COVID.
01:00:19.580Just in the last three, four years or so, we've been seeing this massive increase, and all of it is just greatly destabilizing to our society because they're upending the fundamental realities of the family and identity.
01:00:38.720Did you ever think you'd live in these times?
01:07:16.440Use the promo code FREESPEECH and you'll be able to see this tomorrow at 2.30 Eastern time.
01:07:23.220Tucker Carlson in my podcast room together as we talk about his experience in Russia.
01:07:32.000That's going to be a fascinating interview because obviously like he did this thing and there's also, I mean, I have tons of questions about it and I would love to know his side of the story.
01:07:43.780It's basically just been the stuff came out and everyone kind of speculating about why he did these things and what he meant by them and lots of criticism.
01:07:56.660I can't wait to hear him talk about this and explain it himself.
01:07:59.620I'm going to ask him about the criticism, some of the things that he said, what it was like to be there.
01:09:44.700And now they have just said that only district attorneys can do that.
01:09:49.060But all of the district attorneys of any big city in Texas where the vote will really matter are Soros attorneys and leftist district attorneys.
01:21:11.180They were honored with the Community Hero Award by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
01:21:17.400Now, this is going to come as a surprise to you.
01:21:19.760On Friday, one of the drag queens who dresses up like a nun with the Brew City Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence was arrested in connection with child porn and sexual exploitation of a child.
01:22:36.580British Government Health Agency has declared that drug-induced milk from trans women, from biological males, is just as healthy for babies as breast milk from a female mom.
01:22:49.280And who doesn't think that that's true?
01:22:52.400Okay, I didn't realize it was everybody that didn't think that was true.
01:24:17.540And if they don't wake up to a couple of very critical facts, if they don't do something about it, we will lose Texas within the next four years.

01:25:41.380Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, welcome to the program, sir.
01:25:48.020Yeah, we have so many things to talk about, but I think the most important thing that I want to get to first is the Court of Criminal Appeals.
01:25:58.360Texas is a weirdo state, and most states, I think 48 of them, don't have this.
01:26:06.000It's like a Supreme Court, if I'm not mistaken, but what is its jurisdiction?
01:26:14.680So we're very, you are, we are a little weird.
01:26:16.960I think there's only one other state like us that has a bifurcated system where half, well, some of the cases go to the Texas Supreme Court, all the civil cases.
01:26:26.120And if you have on your final appeal for a criminal case, it's the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
01:26:32.060And most Texans are not aware of this nine-member court that is all Republican.
01:26:37.700And most Republicans, even the most educated, don't know who's on that court.
01:26:41.660So this is becoming very, very important, and especially, and you'll know this in really deep red states, states like Utah.
01:26:52.940Just because it says Republican does not mean they're a Republican.
01:26:57.220In Texas, a lot of times Democrats just switch to Republican because they know they can get elected with an R behind their name.
01:27:05.020And then you also have these horrible Republicans who are, you know, Republican in name only, as we know to be rhinos.
01:27:13.860And that's who's really on, there's some that are good, but there's a few of these guys on this court.
01:27:21.880And it is stopping the attorney general's office now from prosecuting any kind of election fraud, which is a new thing, is it not, Ken?
01:27:34.280Yeah, so this statute was passed by the legislature legally under their constitutional role to pass legislation and direct the attorney general to do whatever they wanted to do.
01:27:46.340We prosecuted, literally, we had almost 1,000 cases being prosecuted when they struck this down two years ago.
01:27:53.160It was suddenly struck down out of the blue, and they made the argument that it was unconstitutional, violation of separation of powers, because I'm the executive branch, for me as attorney general to be in court.
01:28:03.660If they're right, every court prior to them, every case, really every attorney general in the country is violating the Constitution and has since the founding of our country, if this nine-member court that voted 8-1 suddenly out of the blue to strike this law down.
01:28:39.560And because George Soros has put his DAs in the liberal counties, I believe he is funding, along with a group called Texans for Lawsuit Reform, funding these candidates to ensure that we can't prosecute voter fraud in Texas.
01:28:54.260Okay, so there's a three-prong approach going on here in Texas to turn Texas blue.
01:29:01.860The first thing is George Soros coming in and getting the DAs in all of the big counties.
01:29:08.800The second thing is get rid of our attorney general and get somebody that won't fight back.
01:29:16.140And the third thing is the court of appeals.
01:29:19.760And I could probably flip those last two and make the court of appeals and then coming after you and trying to get you out as the final step.
01:29:30.720They've already got now the first step done.
01:29:39.440But if this doesn't change in the court of appeals, you can't bring up any fraud charges for anything in Houston, Dallas, or wherever it is.
01:29:54.260But these main DAs are the only ones that can bring up fraud charges.
01:29:59.600Well, if they're Soros people, that's not going to happen.
01:30:21.460I have another trial, just like Trump in April, that has been sitting there for nine years.
01:30:25.940And the court of criminal appeals moved me out of my home county, which is Republican, to Harris County, which is Democrat, and Democratic judges all the way up, and obviously Democratic jury.
01:30:36.440Because after nine years, they decided they still need to get rid of me because the impeachment didn't work.
01:30:40.880The election, the attempted knocking me out in the election and even having the federal government come after me, none of that's worked.
01:30:47.400It is amazing to me, this legal warfare.
01:30:52.580And I heard about this maybe eight years ago, that they were starting to look into ways to go against anybody who stands against them with the court system.
01:31:04.380And I thought, well, that's interesting, but we have judges and we have juries and everything else.
01:31:15.020And think for this, for these criminal case, they've moved me into Harris County, where my chances are much less at winning.
01:31:24.040And especially, you know, if we have a Democratic jury pool and Democratic judges, and then the court of criminal appeals has the final say, I would say my chances aren't very good.
01:31:33.320I think they've done the same thing to Trump.
01:31:35.060They put him in very liberal places like New York or Fulton County, where the process is slanted against you heavily.
01:31:42.000And it makes it – and it's also obviously very expensive.
01:31:45.320Trump has resources that I don't have.
01:31:48.220They try to drain you financially so that you cannot fight.
01:31:51.720And unfortunately, it's not just the Democrats.
01:31:53.380This is the Karl Rove slash Bush wing of our party.
01:31:56.480And it involves the Dick Weekleys of the world with Texans for Lawsuit Reform and other liberal groups that seem like they're Republican, but they're not on our side.
01:32:05.800So the Texas for Lawsuit Reform, correct me if I'm wrong, used to be conservative.
01:32:33.140These three kind of really make the meat of the Texas lawsuit reform.
01:32:40.580One goes out, raises a lot of money – a couple of them do, actually.
01:32:44.140The other guy is the strategist, and if I'm not mistaken, didn't Calabrese – didn't he go – he was part of the no-bail action, wasn't he?
01:33:01.060Very progressive group on criminal matters, and he was working with them until he was accused of tax evasion and went to federal prison.
01:33:07.580But then he also was sued by the Arnold Foundation for taking some of their money, and there was a judgment against him for, I think, $8.5 million.
01:33:15.180And then suddenly that judgment gets paid, and he's back working with Dick Weekley and Texas for a lawsuit reform.
01:34:02.480They'll fund Republicans, but they give them so much money that they're beholden to them, and they're not necessarily a conservative group anymore.
01:34:09.900Their original purpose was to stop lawsuit abuse, and now they branched into all kinds of things.
01:34:15.140They're supporting – they're putting millions of dollars behind the speaker who's controlled by the Democrats, and then they give all of his people millions of dollars, and they control the Texas legislature.
01:34:28.180And it ends up not representing the voters because now the voters – they don't even need their money.
01:34:33.200The House members don't even need their money because so much of it's coming from Texans for lawsuit reform and a group called ART, Associated Republicans of Texas, which Karl Rove is very involved with.
01:34:47.080Karl Rove, he's always a great helper.
01:34:49.840All right, so who are the judges that are going up for election this year?
01:34:54.880And this is going to be a tough one because nobody knows what the Court of Criminal Appeals is.
01:35:00.000When you look at judges, you don't know – you don't know how – who these judges are nine out of ten times.
01:35:07.020And people will look and they'll go, I don't know, it's a Republican, it's an Independent, I don't know, I'll vote for the – and you just guess.
01:35:17.620So you've got three people coming up, and Texans have got to know these names.
01:35:29.280These three judges, if we can't turn this court, we will not be able to prosecute voter fraud, and we will be Georgia, we will be Arizona, we will be Wisconsin.
01:35:38.780I was able to stop that with my great team last time, but this is where we're headed in the next couple of years if no one that cares about voter fraud actually gets to prosecute it.
01:35:50.180And so Gina Parker, the three people that we want to elect, Gina Parker, Lee Finley, and David Schenck.
01:35:56.840And I'm going to repeat them one more time.
01:35:57.820Gina Parker, David Schenck, and Lee Finley.
01:36:01.780And it starts – voting starts February 20th, which is this coming Tuesday, early voting.
01:36:21.240This is the number one thing that people say to me, you know, Glenn, if we can't go after voter fraud, if we can't clean it up – and I mean clean it up on our side if there is any or their side – just fair voting.
01:36:35.360If we can't prosecute this, if we can't go after it, then we have no trust in the elections.
01:36:45.680But in Texas, this is the solution to this.
01:36:50.920If you can get three people, Gina Parker, Lee Finley, and David Schenck, if you can get those three onto the Board of Criminal Appeals, Court of Criminal Appeals, there's a chance that this thing can be overturned.
01:37:05.140And the attorney general, didn't you have almost like 400 cases of voter fraud here in Texas going on?
01:37:11.960So we had over 600 counts that we were prosecuting at the time they struck down.
01:37:46.180If this election goes the right way, then we'll still be down 5-4, but we'll be sending the message, so let's let you fix this, and the Court of Criminal Appeals will realize we're coming to get the next ones if they don't fix this decision.
01:37:57.880Well, the same money behind these guys, if this is accurate, would be the people behind the Speaker of the House who is just a nightmare, a nightmare.
01:40:33.620Let me talk to you about a couple of other stories that are in the news today on Texas.
01:40:40.120One is a court, I don't remember, it's not the Fifth Circuit Court, it's another court that is saying that Texas doesn't have the right to arrest or turn around people at the border.
01:40:57.500And the judge seemed very hostile to Texas.
01:41:03.980Yes, so this was a case filed by first the ACLU, which you're very familiar with, and then the Biden administration, which you're also familiar with, alleging that Texas doesn't have the authority.
01:41:14.440We passed a bill this last session, the legislature, the governor signed it, that allows us to deport people that come into our state.
01:41:25.100And we make the argument, look, if the federal government is not going to follow federal law, they're not going to, if Joe Biden is not going to follow the Constitution and protect our people, we have the right to protect our people.
01:41:36.400And there's no way that Texas or any other country, any other state would have joined the union if the deal was, we're not, the federal government is not going to protect you.
01:41:44.900And by the way, if we don't protect you, you're not allowed to protect yourself.
01:41:47.720There's no way that anybody joins the union if that's the deal.
01:42:38.120They're costing us lots of higher crime.
01:42:41.180And they're costing us, you know, a lot of money that we don't necessarily have to keep paying for millions of people crossing the border every year.
01:47:47.620So what is it that you have been doing?
01:47:52.940So I've been an attorney for the past 20 years, spent most of it as a litigator, handling some of the biggest cases in the state's history.
01:48:01.340Anything from representing coal mine operators to universities and significant title mine cases.
01:48:08.260Now, I am the director for the Utah Division of Risk Management that handles all of the insurance, all of the claims, and oversees all the litigation defense for the state of Utah.
01:48:19.980What are the big things that are coming our way that you want to focus on if you're the Attorney General?
01:48:27.400Well, this is a big race, as A.G. Paxton indicated.
01:48:33.180And as you've mentioned, having the right Attorney General really matters, because we're at a critical tipping point in fighting the federal government.
01:48:45.100And it's felt very personally here in Utah.
01:48:48.700If you live anywhere in southern Utah, it's present in your everyday life, is the federal government shutting down access to public trails, to access to energy, to everything in their lives.
01:49:02.260In some of the counties, they're owned by the federal government.
01:49:06.120Over 90% is owned by the federal government of their lands, making it very difficult to manage those counties.
01:49:13.700We see it in education, federal overreach in education.
01:49:17.220As someone who litigated Title IX cases, I saw this constantly in trying to provide advice and support to educational institutions.
01:49:28.440As the federal government bureaucracy continually change the definitions applicable in Title IX.
01:49:51.740And if elected, I will stand and fight with him on the border issues, on federal overreach issues, to protect the United States of America and the citizens of Utah.
01:50:06.080You know, I used to ask this of politicians, but I think it's more appropriate for, well, anybody right now.
01:50:12.960But Attorney Generals, you're going to come under attack like nobody's business.
01:52:01.840But I, in the state of Utah, have significant oversight by the governor's office and the legislature.
01:52:08.860And unfortunately, Congress isn't doing that.
01:52:10.740So the Attorney General and me as the Attorney General will fight to protect Utah, to protect conservative values across the country and be that conservative law firm, the conservative voice for the country.
01:52:26.920Rachel, I'll tell you, and I would tell you this privately, but everything I say, you know, is always on the record.
01:52:34.260If you have a single fingernail of a skeleton in your closet, it will be found and used against you.
01:52:46.560And I would recommend, if you haven't already, I'm sure you have, but get everything out.
01:53:02.940Everything that you're afraid of, if they can't get you with what you want, they will scare the hell out of you with everything you're afraid of.
01:54:11.180I don't have time for the nonsense of the political space that wants to offer me things.
01:54:18.360All I want to do is to go to work for the state of Utah and then come home and do carpool and go to my kids' sporting events.
01:54:26.780And I want to be the most boring attorney general that the state of Utah has ever seen because all I'm going to do is to work for the state and stay out of the news for anything other than winning.
01:54:39.640Honestly, that's the way Mike Lee has made an impact.
01:56:25.500If people believe that the judicial system still works for them, then we're safe from tyranny and anarchy.
01:56:33.960When they stop believing that it works for them, then we fall into chaos.
01:56:38.080And so when cases like this happen, it's very troubling because it only reinforces people's greatest fears, that the system doesn't work for them, that it's sacked against them.
01:56:50.020And then people will take justice into their own hands, which is deeply dangerous and will destabilize us as a country.
01:56:57.980So my goal is to return us to a system where it's equal justice for all under the law.
01:57:33.820Everyone should, every Republican should show up to their caucus on March 5th.
01:57:38.160They can find out where to attend on precinctportal.org and run to be a state delegate so they can meet me and vote for me at the state convention on April 27th.
01:57:49.260And I'm confident we'll make it through, I'll make it through the convention and be on the primary ballot on June 25th.
01:58:47.180Just like relief factor, the regular pain relief from relief factor, relief factor sleep is 100% drug-free.
01:58:55.640It's a blend of natural ingredients designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress, improving mood, and promoting relaxation so you can turn the brain off.
