00:01:48.800We're going to get into that in detail right now.
00:01:51.640Yeah, he's definitely a radical, and we're going to let all of America understand exactly who he is.
00:01:56.860Want to take a moment, though, and talk to you about your dog, whether it's old, young, we got a new puppy.
00:02:02.320There is something that you can give your dog to make sure that your dog has the best life ever, and it's called Rough Greens.
00:02:10.000I tell you, moving from the puppy years to old age brings in nostalgia.
00:02:14.400Remember the day you brought your puppy home, the tiny paws, the wagging tail, the spark in their eyes, and man, that energy that just wouldn't quit?
00:02:37.980They're missing their probiotics, the enzymes, the omega oils,
00:02:41.820and the live vitamins and minerals that your dog needs to digest and absorb food.
00:02:46.860When the gut is out of balance, everything's harder for your dog that you love.
00:02:50.580And that's where Rough Greens really come in.
00:02:52.880I've seen it firsthand as our dog got older, and we got our dog back that happiness in life.
00:02:58.080And in fact, Rough Greens is America's number one dog supplement.
00:03:01.900You just sprinkle it right over their current food, and it's packed with all the live nutrients that they need.
00:03:07.240It's all natural, made in the U.S. of A., and thousands of dogs are feeling younger, more energetic, and healthier than they have in years.
00:03:14.540Your dog could be one of them, and I want you to get a free Jumpstart trial bag for your dog today.
00:03:55.640Like, you've got a lot of advantages and usually a bigger microphone.
00:03:59.200What we have learned so far through this whole process around the country is just because you have that,
00:04:04.860if Donald Trump decides that he wants to go against you and wants to back another America First candidate he believes will serve the interests of his agenda better,
00:04:18.240we've now seen it happen in Texas. Well, I think that's right. There was an awful lot going on in
00:04:23.340this race. Let's start off just with the results. So we're sitting here. It's right now, 1143 p.m.
00:04:29.320Tuesday night, election night. And as of right now, this is with 92% of the results in. Ken
00:04:36.260Paxton is getting 64% of the vote. John Cornyn is getting 36%. So that is, as of right now, 858,547
00:04:46.180votes for Ken Paxton oh just bumped up 862,150 votes for Ken Paxton to 484,625 for John Cornyn so
00:04:57.080that is nearly a 30-point victory a 28-point victory we'll see what the final numbers are
00:05:02.100when all the votes are tallied but but that that is a massive win uh and that represents that is a
00:05:09.180that's a bloodbath for any incumbent I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat and that's how
00:05:13.340the media is treating it as well. Well, and it represents a sea change. So John Cornyn has been
00:05:19.300in the Senate for 24 years. He has been an institution in the Senate. He was the majority
00:05:26.020whip of the Senate, so he was the number two elected Republican in the Senate. He served that
00:05:31.540position for six years. John Cornyn ran for majority leader. When we took the majority,
00:05:37.400When Mitch McConnell stepped down as majority leader, John Cornyn ran against John Thune, and it was a close election.
00:05:46.760John Cornyn obviously did not prevail, but it was a vote that was decided by just a couple of votes.
00:05:51.660And so John Cornyn, in a different universe, would have been the majority leader of the United States Senate right now.
00:06:01.520And instead, he has faced an election where he lost by 28 points.
00:06:07.400Now, there were a number of factors at play there, and I will say Donald Trump endorsed and endorsed late, and there's no doubt it had a very significant impact.
00:06:18.660That being said, most of the polling that was in this race, even before the Trump endorsement, showed that Paxson was going to win and was likely to win with a sizable victory.
00:06:30.660And so I think the Trump endorsement certainly grew that margin of victory and made it the dramatic, the nearly 30-point victory that it was.
00:06:40.120But I think one of the factors that caused President Trump to endorse is he was looking at the same polling everyone else was looking at that showed Paxton with a significant lead in the race to begin with.
00:06:52.780There are a lot of reasons for this, but in many ways, this race played out as a traditional
00:06:58.980conservative versus establishment primary. And that's a primary I know a lot about.
00:07:06.020My race 14 years ago, when I was elected to the Senate, was very much the same dynamic,
00:07:11.880where I was running against David Dewhurst. He was the sitting lieutenant governor. He had
00:07:17.400universal name id he had over 200 million dollars so he wrote a 35 million dollar check
00:07:24.580uh to his own campaign and i'd never been elected to nothing like like literally the last thing i
00:07:31.920was elected to was student council yeah so i was at two percent in the polls i was ahead of you
00:07:37.480technically because i did win like i think class president freshman year in college so i even had
00:07:42.080more credentials than you did at that moment i just i just want to make sure that the audience
00:07:45.520understands that right now it was an impossible race and yet what we saw when i was elected in
00:07:51.6802012 is we saw the conservative grassroots come together uh and we ended up uh going from two
00:07:59.940percent in the polls to winning by double digits in the primary and winning by double digits we won
00:08:04.300the the primary by by 14 points and we won the general by 16 points and so it was an amazing
00:08:10.500victory of the conservative grassroots against the person everyone thought was the unbeatable
00:08:16.860frontrunner uh this cornyn paxton race had similar dynamics the money in this race was massive so
00:08:24.480this is now shattered records yeah for the single most expensive senate race in american history
00:08:30.520in a primary in a primary and we're talking more than usually just spent a general election
00:08:36.140by a lot. So just in phase one of the primary, over $100 million was spent. I think when you
00:08:44.200tally the runoff, it will end up being well north of $150 million spent in this primary.
00:08:50.200And the overwhelming, the 90 plus percent of that was spent supporting John Cornyn. So Paxton spent
00:08:57.440relatively little money and won by an overwhelming margin. Now, one of the consequences of this is
00:09:05.600the Democrats, they are looking to attack Ken Paxton. He is a conservative. Both Ken and John
00:09:12.700are friends. I've served with John Cornyn 14 years. He and I are very different senators,
00:09:17.880but we've worked well together and we've worked in a cooperative and collegial way. That's part
00:09:24.660of how you represent your state. And at the same time, Ken Paxton has been a friend of mine for a
00:09:32.200long time. Both Paxton and Cornyn I've supported previously. I've campaigned with them previously.
00:09:36.920I've campaigned for them previously. Paxton objectively, I believe, has been the most
00:09:44.760conservative state attorney general in the country, is a strong record as a conservative
00:09:49.240state AG. And that was a big part of why he prevailed. And that was driving his momentum
00:09:57.660long before President Trump made his endorsement.
00:10:01.300That being said, there are a lot of nasty personal attacks
00:22:35.660If he had ESP, that would be a different story.
00:22:39.080The lickings I take, it's unbelievable.
00:22:40.960So, so back to 2022 and James, this is a guy that in, in Texas, I said this on, on Harris Faulkner show on Fox today, when they were talking about the prime, like in Texas, we like meat in Texas.
00:22:59.320We don't do this like mystery, fake meat stuff.
00:23:02.400Like that's just not who we are, but this is what he doesn't want you to know about him back in 2022 as a principal.
00:23:10.340Oh, by the way, while saying this, he was wearing a mask, the COVID mask for the press conference.
00:23:16.460Here he is in his own words. Take a listen.
00:23:18.920We have, I think, heard more and more issues of animal welfare.
00:23:24.100I think not just because it's the right thing to do and the moral thing to do, but also it's, as all of you know, necessary to fight climate change.
00:23:31.620It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption and that we try to respect animals in all aspects of society.
00:23:39.840And so I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign.
00:23:46.520So we are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses.
00:23:55.980They were little Nonas, and then they opened up Brick and Mortar, some of their Big Nonas.
00:23:59.840But we just got our pizza from there today.
00:24:02.320And so the point is, I think all of us, not just policymakers, but but everyone has to take personal responsibility in this effort.
00:24:11.400I've never in my life heard a vegan campaign being like propped up, much less like you want to do that in Seattle.
00:24:18.500That actually may work. You want to do it in San Francisco that it may actually work.
00:24:22.380You want to do this up in New York City. I'm not even sure it would work there, actually, because they actually like normal food there.
00:24:27.820But saying our campaign as a responsible candidate is a vegan campaign like that in Texas.
00:24:34.140And this goes back to, like, everyone needs to know who this guy is.
00:24:38.020Well, look, and I get that you're taking this very personally because because you owned a barbecue restaurant.
00:24:44.680And oh, yeah. So he's taking a direct assault on your livelihood.
00:24:48.740Just wait till he comes out for banning guns and banning radio.
00:24:52.980I mean, I mean, you know, Ben, Ben will lose his mind.
00:24:56.060I will. That is that is a fact. You know, it's it's it's actually ironic that that in 2018, when I was running against Beto of our 50 stop bus tour, my guess is a third of those stops were barbecue restaurants.
00:25:09.580If you're traveling little towns around the state, a lot of times barbecue restaurants are where you'll do a rally.
00:25:14.360And we were at one barbecue restaurant. I think it was in Columbus, Texas, a little town kind of halfway between Houston and Austin.
00:25:20.720and were there, and PETA was there protesting me.
00:25:26.060They had signs out and they were protesting people
00:29:38.320And by the way, the six sexes, just for seeing in clarity, as you mentioned,0.80
00:29:43.120you're exactly right we have the tape so your headline you might want to like you know fix it
00:29:48.340alter it change it whatever it is but these are just some of the highlights of what this guy
00:29:52.620believes in and again they are trying to make him and i do think it's the most dangerous part as you
00:29:57.260mentioned earlier he's he looks like he's a really nice guy who's a pastor soft-spoken he's very
00:30:06.200charismatic that's what makes him so dangerous until you actually go to his own words and his
00:30:11.940own posts and his own speeches center that's when you find out what a radical he actually is
00:30:18.160well yes but look at least the guy loves america loves the american flag and well wait wait no
00:30:25.120let's actually listen to his own words i want you to listen to what he said about the american flag
00:30:30.660this again is his own words give a listen i often think when reclaiming symbols i think about the
00:30:36.660american flag i think the confederate flag is a symbol of treason and terrorism but the american
00:30:41.640flag is such a complicated symbol for most of us and in many ways like jesus like the cross
00:30:46.620it's been co-opted and and um and and uh and in some ways that's true meaning has been betrayed
00:30:53.820by the way he said that center in a church that the american flag is a complicated symbol for most
00:31:01.740of us it the american flag has never been complicated for me i don't know maybe maybe
00:31:07.180you look at it differently. Well, and he says the American flag is a complicated symbol
00:31:11.780like Jesus and like the cross. Those are the three examples he gives of complicated symbols.
00:31:19.000I don't think any of the three are complicated. And the idea that you're running to be a U.S.
00:31:25.760senator and you look at the American flag and think it's a complicated symbol.
00:31:29.260you know yes if you are a leftist yes if you are a marxist yes if you are someone who has
00:31:38.360has bought into cultural marxism and believes america is irredeemably racist believes that we
00:31:44.300are a nation of oppressors oppressing victims and that his goal is to overthrow the oppressors and
00:31:51.420And that is, listen, Graham Plattner in Maine is more explicit about his left wing.
00:31:59.300The guy with the Nazi tattoo, the SS tattoo, right?
00:32:00.700Just to remind people who we're talking about right now.
00:32:02.520This is a guy that actually mocked and made fun of an American soldier being shot,
00:32:08.820saying he should have died, and then refused, doubled down on it.
00:32:12.380And the same guy that has an SS tattoo.0.96
00:32:16.220Yes, and look, and who is also an open racist.0.96
00:32:20.420I mean, he has mocked African-Americans. He wears a Nazi tattoo and is demeaning to Jews. He's demeaning to women. He says women rape victims are asking for it.0.96
00:32:33.240Plattner is at least out in the open about who he is. But Tallarico, let's take the racism of the Democrat Party and listen.
00:32:42.560Here's something Tallarico said in another church about his own race, about being white. Give a listen.
00:32:48.520for me prophetic voices like jesus have helped me reckon with my own whiteness my own masculinity my
00:32:55.900own certainty my own ego it's a never-ending process and it's a painful process i gotta give
00:33:03.780him self-awareness credit there senator like when he says it's helped him deal with his masculinity
00:33:07.980i think he's nipped that problem in the bud going vegan and talking the way he does like by the lord
00:33:13.940heard those prayers. I mean, if he was working on the masculinity issue, he has nailed it.
00:33:19.800There's no doubt about that. If you listen to what he's saying, and he's in a church,
00:33:23.280behind him, if you're watching the video, he has a giant cross behind him, what he calls
00:33:28.180that, what is it, complicated image of the cross, like the American flag and like Jesus.
00:33:34.320And he said the prophetic voices like Jesus helped him deal. Let's take the racist aspect,
00:33:40.440his own whiteness, which is a hard thing to reckon with.
00:33:45.500You know, look, I'm sorry, in my book, being white is not something to be ashamed of,
00:33:52.080is not a symbol that you are a bad human being.0.99
00:33:55.520But in the leftist world, white equals evil.0.96
