00:00:17.620 now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone

00:00:23.660 good evening this is not roger stone you do not need to change your station check the dial this

00:00:34.180 is sean spicer president trump's first press secretary i'm filling in for roger stone tonight

00:00:39.800 the stone zone is the spicer zone at least for the night but roger's okay with that but i'm taking it

00:00:46.580 over i'm gonna sit in the stone zone for the next hour i got some stuff to fill you in on what went

00:00:52.460 down on capitol hill today it was an absolute embarrassment for the democratic party but uh

00:00:58.620 i'm gonna take your questions too i don't care if you're from cnn or the new york times i'm ready

00:01:03.540 i'm back i'm taking all your questions i'm so excited so honored to be sitting in for roger

00:01:08.160 tonight for the hour on the stone you have a question for me bring it i got it i'll take

00:01:13.660 anything 1-800-848-9222 all right guys there was uh a ton of stuff going on on capitol hill today

00:01:23.960 but i gotta tell you the democrats thought that when they had on ice today and they had rodney scott

00:01:33.440 the head of the border patrol and todd lions the acting uh director of ice up on capitol hill i think

00:01:42.100 the democrats were ready they thought oh this is gonna be amazing we got these guys where we want

00:01:47.300 them i don't think they fully appreciated the background of these two gentlemen these are not

00:01:53.640 some shrinking violets they've both been agents for decades they know this stuff inside and out they

00:02:01.920 have been dealing with the issues they are agents at heart they know what's going i mean i just it was

00:02:07.880 almost like you were embarrassed for them because they didn't appreciate what they were going up

00:02:13.960 against so todd lions as i mentioned the acting director of ice he's got this guy's been a federal

00:02:20.020 agent for for decades like he knows what's going on and i thought he did a really good job at the

00:02:26.660 beginning of hearing just laying it out here's what's going on cut seven

00:02:32.400 before discussing our broader operations i must address the situation in minnesota

00:02:40.140 and the dangers that ice agents and officers face nationwide while the investigations remain

00:02:46.180 ongoing i'm encouraged that some minnesota officials are finally signaling the willingness

00:02:50.200 to cooperate with ice but let me be clear promises are not enough we need action in the wake of the

00:02:56.980 unprecedented border crisis of the previous administration ice has stepped into the breach to

00:03:01.500 enforce the law this commitment has a cost we are facing the deadliest operating environment in our

00:03:07.340 agents agency's history in fiscal year 2025 death threats against ice personnel increased more than

00:03:13.660 8 000 percent assaults on officers have skyrocketed over 1400 percent one officer in minnesota had his

00:03:20.140 finger bitten off by a protester egged on by elected officials characterizing our offices as

00:03:25.300 the gestapo of secret police the families of personnel ice personnel have been made to feel unsafe in their

00:03:31.700 homes i know this first hit first hand because my own family was targeted but let me send a message to

00:03:38.740 anyone who thinks they can intimidate us you will fail despite these perils our offices continue to

00:03:44.620 execute their mission with unwavering resolve and we are only getting started ice remains committed to the

00:03:50.300 fundamental principles that those who illegally enter our country must be held accountable 1.00

00:03:54.460 okay so i thought that was a great way to lay the foundation for what we're about to do and frankly

00:04:05.640 you know he's like hey look our guys are out there you congress pass these laws we're enforcing them

00:04:13.260 our job is to do what you say you want to change the law change the law but right now the agents go out

00:04:19.820 there and do they lay down lives risk their lives to enforce the law that you knuckleheads passed

00:04:30.140 okay this should be easy peasy and oh by the way when you use rhetoric and call them bad names like hitler

00:04:39.740 and nazi and the gestapo you not only undermine a mission but you create and make them targets

00:04:47.660 so he's laying the ground okay like this is this this should be easy now at this point if you're

00:04:52.620 a democrat you're like okay let's go into the numbers maybe try to talk about some of the

00:04:57.580 you know the tactics can we find common ground can we talk about you know face master all the the

00:05:04.460 list of crazy 10 demands that they had so i'm trying to figure out okay where do you go from there

00:05:10.300 like this guy todd lions has laid out a pretty reasonable set of understanding as to where we are

00:05:19.900 what the environment is so who comes up and remember what is lions what does lions say we're facing the

00:05:28.380 deadliest operation environment in our nation's history deadliest ever when we get called names

00:05:35.500 people come after us they gaslight us they dox us they come after our families democrats used to be

00:05:42.620 the party of federal employees the people that would protect these people they were all about the

00:05:46.700 unions and the federal employees blah blah blah so dan goldman a congressman from new york

00:05:53.180 after all of that gets laid out how does dan goldman respond take a listen

00:06:01.180 question no what's i'll tell you what the wrong type of actually sir it's holocaust museum claiming

00:06:06.460 my time independence if you want to claiming my time mr chairman not the men and women of vice that

00:06:11.500 are out there doing it every day so to say it's the men and women of vice mr chairman i'm reclaiming

00:06:15.660 my time i would like my time back please please give me another 15 seconds because he was

00:06:21.020 unnecessarily speaking you said in your opening statement that references to ice as the gestapo

00:06:28.940 or the secret police encourages threats against ice agents 100 the problem is you have it backwards sir

00:06:37.260 people are simply making valid observations about your tactics which are un-american and outright fascist

00:06:46.780 so i have a simple suggestion if you don't want to be called a fascist regime or secret police

00:06:56.620 then stop acting like one but people are simply just observing what they are seeing and that's why

00:07:05.900 people are making those comments now i was a prosecutor for 10 years

00:07:10.380 all right i cannot believe that it's your fault that we're calling you the i mean do you understand

00:07:20.140 like i i i wonder where dan goldman went to school seriously and i i i i mean how do you look at people

00:07:30.140 who are sworn federations upholding the laws of the country and go no no no you are the gestapo

00:07:41.340 and he starts talking about america i mean like let's just be 100 clear dan goldman and he create

00:07:47.980 sanctuary cities where they tell people you can hire if you're not in this country illegally if you're

00:07:56.540 a criminal hey come on over we won't tell anyone where you are you want to talk about the gestapo

00:08:02.220 you guys your party mr goldman are literally coddling and hiding people committing crimes in this country

00:08:15.500 i mean this isn't like i honestly there are days in which i cannot believe this is the party by the way

00:08:24.780 where barack obama hillary clinton bill clinton

00:08:28.460 all talked about if you're in this country with the last decade or so that you are here illegally you

00:08:36.460 must be removed and there's no ifs and and buts and suddenly these people are talking about the

00:08:40.540 american way of life i'm sorry you broke the law you came into this country illegally and you want 1.00

00:08:44.940 to talk about who the gestapo is and the secret police and call the federal agents who are putting

00:08:49.820 their lives on the line to keep our community safer the bad guys are you nuts and then if it's

00:08:56.460 not that bad right so it's like you're going to attack the cops and the federal agents who protect

00:09:03.340 us who will go away who will and by the way listen to what what todd is there they're just their families

00:09:09.740 are getting attacked they're getting doxxed these guys are making what 80 90 maybe 100 grand with like

00:09:15.900 and and suddenly their families are getting phone calls like bad person we're coming after you we want

00:09:20.140 to kill you want to come and kill your family they they didn't go into this to get rich they went into

00:09:26.220 it out of a sense of service so here you have dan goldman and some of the other democrats

00:09:33.180 attacking the agents which is pretty bad but then you got this other clown from california

00:09:41.100 luke korea and he goes let's take this a step further down the dumb dumb train 0.88

00:09:46.780 because here's what he had to say about the people who they're actually going after

00:09:52.220 trump got elected on the promise to deport the worst of the worst your numbers mr lyons less than 14 0.59

00:10:01.500 15 of those arrested by ice first year 2025 had charges or convictions of violent violence

00:10:11.740 70 of those deported had not even a traffic ticket mr lyons i think we're all patriots but i'm trying

00:10:21.660 to figure out how this is a question to you sir how deporting a nanny makes our nation safer stronger how 0.92

00:10:29.420 trying to deport the father of three marines make this country stronger how deporting the parents

00:10:36.780 of number of marines at camp pendleton makes this nation stronger sir thank you for your welcome first

00:10:44.700 off just to address your uh the numbers with the 14 percent sir that's 14 that are listed as violent

00:10:52.540 criminal felonies however what's left out of that is the fact that what's left off that

00:10:56.540 we know 70 percent they don't have a traffic ticket they're sent deported how has that made our nation

00:11:02.700 stronger sir if you look at what ice has done more than 60 percent of every individual that is in ice

00:11:08.780 custody has a pending or a conviction on a criminal charge not to count sir let me move ahead i only have three minutes

00:11:16.540 yeah sir i don't want the real answer i i want to defend these people i i need to defend the criminals

00:11:22.540 i don't have time for your facts and your statistics and your reality i mean so what maybe they had some

00:11:29.260 child porn or dwi i mean come on who doesn't what what is going on let's tactic one go after the federal

00:11:37.900 agents tactic two coddle and defend the criminals i mean this is literally insane and then look if that's

00:11:45.420 not bad enough again here comes strike three we went after the agents we defended the criminals

00:11:52.860 you know what was left folks let's go after todd lions himself let's go after this public servant

00:11:58.940 and here to do it then the woman who literally attacked a federal agent the congresswoman from 1.00

00:12:05.260 new jersey herself la monica mciver go let me ask you some questions that you may be able to answer

00:12:12.780 mr lyons do you consider yourself a religious man yes ma'am oh yes okay well how do you think

00:12:19.260 judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands i'm not going to entertain that

00:12:25.180 question oh okay of course not do you think you're going to hell mr lyons i'm not going to end of 0.72

00:12:29.660 course how many government the gentlelady will suspend the gentlelady will suspend chairman as i a 0.96

00:12:35.500 gentlelady will suspend as i said the issues we're debating here are important to ones that members

00:12:40.300 feel deeply about thank you while vigorous disagreement is part of the legislative

00:12:44.780 process members are reminded that we must adhere to established standards of decorum and debate the

00:12:49.820 witnesses are here voluntarily and i will continue remind continue remind members that while oversight

00:12:55.580 is important aggressively attacking those witnesses personally is inappropriate and not in keeping with

00:13:01.180 the traditions of our committee mr chairman i'm just asking a question you all you guys are always

00:13:06.140 talking about religion here in the bible i mean it's okay for me to ask a question right

00:13:13.740 what an embarrassment an absolute embarrassment i i cannot believe that these guys literally fell over

00:13:19.980 each other to be more embarrassing than the next attack the agent defend the criminals attack todd

00:13:25.580 lyons unbelievable all right i will take any of your questions no matter what it is i thought that

00:15:26.060 couple bats let me up to the plate i gotta take a couple swings i'm missing the questions i know i'm not

00:15:35.420 in for roger give me a shout out give me a call at 1-800-848-9222 all right andrew from new jersey

00:15:43.020 what's on your mind hey how's it going what is my mind is i'll answer the two um that question said

00:15:50.620 how is deporting a nanny make us safer and also about judgment day first deporting a nanny it makes 0.78

00:15:58.620 us safer because when nannies such as my wife came here as actually an au pair first and then 0.99

00:16:04.860 she became a nanny after being an au pair it makes us safer because they literally our government had 1.00

00:16:12.620 pictures of my parents her parents from thailand had their photos their address their occupations so

00:16:20.220 there was a background check not only on my wife but on her her family and also her family members

00:16:27.340 are police officers and military and thailand's military is also uh allied with the united states

00:16:34.700 just as a side note and also it makes us safer when they come here legally health-wise because she 1.00

00:16:41.580 had a health checks both in thailand and here was tested for tuberculosis hiv and also if it was

00:16:49.980 andrew can i just ask you this andrew andrew andrew hold on i i don't mean to interrupt you but you're

00:16:54.460 making a ton of sense right i i i just question whether that was even a real question i think

00:16:59.660 they were trying to it wasn't you're answering this perfectly but but i don't actually think it

00:17:05.980 was a real question that's the thing i they they wanted to make it seem like oh what about the nannies

00:17:11.900 and the answer to my question is everything you said but just that it's fundamental look we don't

00:17:16.940 know i mean that's what you're really getting at right you your wife and her like do everything

00:17:20.860 because she had the proper channels and leader we don't know who and they're they're trying to

00:17:26.060 figure out the soft point oh the nannies what about the people who picked this as opposed to yes

00:17:30.860 they're in the country illegally we don't know anything because they we don't have any background

00:17:34.860 checks on them they didn't come through the right channels i mean it's a red herring right andrew isn't

00:17:39.660 that really it's also more exploitive because when people are here illegally they could be not only

00:17:46.380 paid less like they are but they could be taken advantage of and they fear going to the authorities

00:17:53.100 yeah i mean that's the thing i think you're absolutely right andrew that's the bottom line

00:17:58.300 but i think it was a red herring it was a stupid question that the deaf were asking on that panel 0.53

00:18:03.100 to try to get a sympathetic response from the american people we all know the real answer in this

00:18:07.740 anyway andrew thanks for the question if you've got a question let me call 1-800-848-9222

00:20:00.380 just quick question this isn't my question but i'm interested in this and i thought it shouldn't

00:20:04.700 have happened but are you back in with the uh naval academy again i yeah great question uh so just so

00:20:12.060 everyone knows uh joe the first term i think joe's asking i assume president trump after i left the

00:20:18.460 white house appointed me to the board us the board of visitors the u.s naval academy i'll give you the

00:20:22.940 cliff note version because this is so cool uh so i i get a text or an email one day towards the end of

00:20:28.460 my term from the head of personnel in the biden administration she says thank you for your service

00:20:33.660 uh you can either resign from the board of the naval academy by 5tn today or president biden will fire

00:20:41.580 you and i wrote back i'm not resigned so they fired me and i got together with america first legal

00:20:51.100 the group that stephen miller was running and he said hey you like to be the plaintiff in a case

00:20:56.380 against the biden administration so as myself and russ vote spicer b biden became the case

00:21:03.900 and uh i don't know if you know i mean joe i apologize if you know this but i want to make

00:21:07.740 sure everyone else does but basically we go into the court case and here was the thing that no one

00:21:12.140 got at the time first of all my term expired in like 30 days from when they dismissed me which is

00:21:17.740 the dumbest thing ever and they got rid of all of the trump appointees naval academy west point air

00:21:22.460 force academy and they said we have the right to we went to court the idea was to make the biden

00:21:28.300 administration argue in the affirmative that they had the right to fire anybody the idea that

00:21:34.220 america first legal was thinking let's establish this precedent now so anyway we go to court we

00:21:39.660 quote unquote lose what the biden administration argues as we suggested president trump gets elected

00:21:44.620 and i say to him mr president you have a precedent that was set by america's legal i was the plaintiff in

00:21:50.620 this and i get a call from the folks at the western post and they said what do you think about the

00:21:55.340 kennedy center so what do you mean what do i think about the kennedy center why do i care about the

00:21:59.900 kennedy center and this report said to me oh you haven't heard i said i heard what well president

00:22:07.580 trump fired the kennedy center and when they were asked if they were going to do anything about it they

00:22:12.780 said we can't serve biden and i went oh my gosh and i literally have i'm sitting here in my studio

00:22:20.860 tonight i have a washington post front page section that google and the title is why can president trump

00:22:27.820 fire over from the kennedy center ask sean spicer it was the most brilliant thing i actually not just

00:22:33.820 to toot my horn just a second i have a brand new book coming out i talked to roger about this actually

00:22:38.060 the other day called trump 2.0 where i talked very extensively about spicer b biden if you want to go

00:22:43.660 to amazon right now you can go order trump 2.0 but i have a whole chapter in there about how important

00:22:49.340 this is because the biden folks thought that they were smarter than everyone else oh we're going to

00:22:53.180 fire him first history of the united states that it ever happened first time ever joe and lo and behold

00:23:00.860 now all these guys are getting pissed about what president trump's doing and every time one of these

00:23:05.020 little weasels whines this is all president trump's firing everyone i go you're right guess why

00:23:10.540 spicer v biden anyway joe thanks for bringing that up is that is that do you have a question

00:23:15.820 or do i appreciate you asking but but yes president trump appointed me after he got back in office

00:23:20.540 back to the floor of the us naval academy yeah i'm a i'm a military retired lieutenant colonel from the

00:23:27.020 army reserve retired police officer and also retired immigration service officers the reoccupations

00:23:32.220 i'm retired from so i'm kind of a student of history but my question is for you the recklessness

00:23:38.860 of the opposition the democrats the liberals the communists whatever you want to call them is so

00:23:45.180 deep are we ever going to fix this through a non-violent solution are we heading for whatever

00:23:52.140 you want to call it a civil war or a violent reconstruction are we heading for that if we don't fix this under trump

00:23:59.500 so i answer your question in a different way because i think there's a lot of people who

00:24:06.460 presume that it's got to end in a certain way and i'm going to give you so here's why i don't think

00:24:12.540 it goes in that direction the answer to your question is yes it will get fixed but i think

00:24:16.940 through different means here's what i mean by this we we have forgotten on the right one we need to grow

00:24:25.260 up and get a spine for some of us not not like but some of these guys in congress there's an excuse

00:24:30.540 why you can't do this i had a pollster on my show i've sean spicer show every every night on youtube

00:24:36.460 last friday i had exclusive polling on the show where i showed that when you actually ask voters what

00:24:42.620 they think of ice it's a resounding like they they support ice they support deportation the media

00:24:47.500 will never tell you that story the members of congress are all weakening we can need to cut a deal we

00:24:51.820 need to do this the media doesn't want us to do this but when we stand up for for common sense

00:24:57.660 getting rid of pronouns though ending the dei woke agenda what's right in terms of immigration standing

00:25:03.580 up for law enforcement etc etc the american people are with us and i'll give you the most recent example

00:25:10.220 sunday night many of us were watching the super bowl i'm a patriots fan i was watching it

00:25:15.340 disappointed but watching it half comes on i go i leave the room i go put on tbn i watch the turning

00:25:22.700 point usa show yesterday on my show i have andrew colette colvette who's the spokesman for turning

00:25:29.100 point usa he says so how did it go like what's your he said sean when the numbers are done we expect to

00:25:34.380 have 30 to 40 million people have watched that either stream we're going to get a forensics team to come in

00:25:41.020 and do an independent analysis so that everyone believes it and the reason that i answer your

00:25:45.180 question this way joe is because of this we're there it's just that i think too many people

00:25:51.580 don't realize how big the movement is because the media hollywood academia corporate america wants us

00:25:57.100 to feel small and marginalized we are on the right side of these issues if we're willing to stand up and

00:26:03.900 fight for them and let people know that they're not alone because so many times when i bump into people

00:26:09.420 and i said they said oh my god i'm so with you i i know like thank you for everything you do with

00:26:13.500 president trump i go see you oh i can't say anything at work because i'll get in trouble i can't do that

00:26:17.740 i said what do you mean you can't you can but you won't and i understand sometimes it's tough i'm not i'm

00:26:24.540 not trying to but we're right think about what it took sunday night i know in its simplicity it's a

00:26:32.860 number but you're sitting there watching the game and you have to turn the channel or flip on youtube to

00:26:38.060 watch this thing and almost a quarter to a third of the people watching super bowl said i don't

00:26:44.300 want to watch this guy bad bunny i'll watch good entertainment instead that tells me that there's a

00:26:51.660 big broad movement that's with us if we're willing to stand up and and and be proud and loud and confront

00:26:59.820 it and fight for it and president trump needs us going into a midterm so i i think we're there i just

00:27:04.860 don't think that i think the forces that control the major institutions don't want to you notice

00:27:10.540 there was no coverage of that today by the way think about this when else can you get 30 to 40

00:27:15.740 million people to do anything and it's complete silence in the media they refuse to acknowledge

00:27:20.700 it because they know that we're right and they know the movement is big so i i there joe anyway thanks

00:27:28.460 for your question uh todd from new jersey what's going on all right mary connecticut how are you

00:27:37.980 oh yeah hi just a real quick question for you about ken paxton he's going to win the primary

00:27:44.140 in texas against john cornyn and i guess somebody else i don't know their name but jasmine crock is 0.84

00:27:49.900 also running for the senate i don't think for one minute the republicans should discount the fact that

00:27:55.260 she could win because ken paxton is an extremely flawed candidate and um i'm not really sure how

00:28:02.460 much the base is going to be turning out for him or for that matter i don't feel that the base is um

00:28:10.220 inspired to turn out for this election and because the republicans don't get up and fight

00:28:16.540 they need to get up and grow a spine either that or buy one from amazon but they need to but they

00:28:23.740 mary let me ask you this why where do you i i said uh you you said you were from connecticut

00:28:30.300 are you in touch with folks from texas are you from there like are you just following it closely

00:28:37.340 just my own personal insight that's all right no no it's great i just i wanted to get a sense of because

00:28:44.220 i've been following this race and i just want people to understand what's happening okay so let's

00:28:48.220 do the democrat side first uh two people running james tallarico he is a state rep in texas very

00:28:55.660 telegenic he's very like beto o'rourke like you know uh like sort of uh real telegenic but sort of

00:29:02.700 uh a real phony and you got jasmine crockett now here's what i'm gonna here's my take on this i think

00:29:09.740 jasmine crockett wins the democratic primary third and she becomes their nominee she's got the but there's 1.00

00:29:16.300 two things that i will tell you that you have to that i think are a problem here she has raised

00:29:21.020 about two hundred thousand dollars now i live in alexandria virginia you can't win a council seat

00:29:27.660 in alexandria hundred thousand dollars so she may and and money will flood in me wrong on this but like 0.95

00:29:35.420 she doesn't have a current campaign manager right now she's doing stops like she's running for dog 1.00

00:29:41.420 catcher there's a huge story out in the last 24 hours about how she's running this non-traditional

00:29:46.300 campaign and not do that in texas it's just impossible and so i get not necessarily running

00:29:53.660 a traditional campaign but she's literally not running tv she has no campaign manager and you're 0.92

00:29:59.180 running for the united states senate in texas which is a big big state with multiple media markets so i

00:30:04.940 i will tell you this i don't discount her for any because the democrats will flood the zone but

00:30:11.500 she is a flawed flawed flawed flawed flawed candidate now let me flip the page there are three candidates

00:30:19.340 as you mentioned running for the republican nomination in texas the current incumbent john cornyn who

00:30:27.420 is a member of leadership he texas's attorney general prior to this meaning he's been in office

00:30:34.620 for like three decades well well known very establishment okay um and everyone in the dc

00:30:43.180 establishment is behind cornyn thune all the dc money all that guys i didn't close to 10 million dollars 0.88

00:30:49.660 in the bank the two people he's facing are wesley hunt a houston area congressman west point graduate

00:30:55.660 i like wesley a lot but i don't know what he what he's thinking he cannot win this primary he cannot

00:31:01.740 win he's just not as well known and i and he jumped in at the very i mean he literally filed his papers

00:31:07.980 on the very last day which is not a sign of seriousness as far as i'm concerned so i really

00:31:13.180 like wesley i think he's a great candidate great story uh he is uh west like i said west point grad army

00:31:19.420 guy that's the only thing i hold against him as a navy guy uh but he's gonna win he's pulling between 15 and

00:31:24.860 20 percent and then you got ken paxton ken is the current attorney general uh had a lot to your

00:31:31.260 point a lot of baggage with ken uh he's raised about 1.7 million dollars but yesterday turning point

00:31:38.380 endorsed today that is going to help him tremendously and the last two polls that have come out in the

00:31:45.980 last 48 72 hours show paxton up between six and eight percent okay but here's the but march 3rd the

00:31:55.420 way it works in texas is that if neither of the candidates in there well so the democrats it's two

00:32:00.380 people one of them will get 50 percent because just mathematically that works on the republican

00:32:06.620 side if one of them doesn't get 50 it goes to a runoff the top two now here's the way i look at this

00:32:12.940 right now current status no one gets to 50 because thune uh cornyn's at like mid to high 30s paxton

00:32:21.820 depending on which poll you're looking at is anywhere from the mid 30s to the low 40s

00:32:25.420 as i said the last two he's up on cornyn and wesley hunt between 15 and 20 depending on the poll

00:32:32.780 so as it stands today march 3rd comes i think you're going into a runoff with cornyn and paxton

00:32:39.660 if now here's my scenario that again as i said every dc establishment person is all in for thune

00:32:49.500 and his pollster for corn and his pollster is a guy named tony fabrizio who happens to be president

00:32:55.980 trump's pollster so there's definitely some back channels there saying hey mr president can you

00:33:01.580 support cornyn the the paxton people are very clear hey look we we got the momentum we got the

00:33:08.380 grassroots with us we got turning point usa i would i everybody is lobbying president trump

00:33:14.860 for his endorsement right now primarily the the cornyn people and the paxton people i think it's

00:33:21.340 it was a jump ball the other day i think the turning point usa thing i i gotta be honest mary i i think

00:33:26.780 that if i had to put money on who he if president trump endorses it it's still a big if i would put money

00:33:33.420 on ken paxton right now and that shifted when turning point usa put their money on him so if

00:33:39.340 that happens and wesley hunt says okay with trump endorsing i can't win there's no way i'm going to

00:33:45.900 drop out and endorse paxton i think there is that is the only scenario where you have a candidate that

00:33:52.780 gets 50 and walks away with this now then we enter the general election is kind of what you put up but

00:33:58.460 until we know where we are on march 3rd it's the incomplete picture so that's my take on the text

00:34:07.020 you know i like i said i don't live in texas i don't vote in texas i live in virginia we had actually

00:34:11.660 had an election here today in virginia um but i'm just telling you like i i think this is the one that's

00:34:17.580 been the hit against paxton is that he can't win a general that's what the cornyn people keep saying

00:34:22.380 but i'm telling you if jasmine crockett is the dem i mean a doorknob could be her now if talarico

00:34:29.980 pulls this thing out which i don't think he will the dems are going to claim that they could beat

00:34:34.300 paxton and i who knows we'll see what the polling looks like but i'll tell you that like jasmine

00:34:38.940 crockett i i just don't think he's going to get people fired up she will not run a professional

00:34:42.780 campaign i don't think she can pull it off that's my take on things uh i appreciate the question i thank you

00:34:48.860 for bringing up because i think that uh it's going to be really interesting how this thing plays out

00:34:55.580 heading to the final days anyway this is sean spicer sitting in the stone zone right in the dead

00:35:02.860 center of it for roger stone tonight i'll take your questions and when we come back though i gotta play

00:36:16.780 together by the time he's back anyway uh it's been great to be here tonight i there was this unbelievable

00:36:23.420 exchange down in mecklenburg north carolina today that blew my mind i want to play it for you because

00:36:29.420 it makes me question public education go branch of government do you operate under mecklenburg county

00:36:38.540 what branch of government do you operate under sure

00:36:49.900 constitution of the united states correct that is what establishes the branches of government

00:36:54.700 i'm asking which branch you fall under mecklenburg county meduly swan mecklenburg county sheriff

00:37:01.180 we answer to the people of mecklenburg county this was not where i was anticipating getting stuck

00:37:10.780 are you aware of how many branches of government there are no okay

00:37:19.580 for the sake of debate i will move on and say there are three branches of government

00:37:23.820 legislative executive judicial of those three which do you believe you fall under i believe i fall under the

00:37:29.580 last one would you say it to me judicial okay you are incorrect sir

00:37:38.140 you are incorrect sir that's the sheriff i i get i mean not to understand like you're not a judge

00:37:48.220 i don't even know like that that that hurt my brain it literally hurt my brain but if if an elected

00:37:56.140 official doesn't understand the branch of government that they fall in and there's only three there's

00:38:01.900 literally three the executive that's the mayor the governor the president the legislature maybe that's

00:38:09.500 the city council the county council the state like those are the right that's your legislative branch

00:38:15.580 the congress and then just well you know you're not a judge right i mean that that should be the

00:38:21.260 no-brainer okay definitely it's like the sat that's definitely not one of the answers i just got two

00:38:26.780 like and i'm not part of a body right that's the legislative body so that's got to make me number one

00:38:34.380 the executive holy smokes i mean this is you laugh but this is where we are

00:38:41.820 anyway i just my mind is blown but it's a reminder when you hear these democrats go off about

00:38:48.060 ice as i said at the beginning of the show and then you go oh that's this explains a lot anyway
