Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Fighting versus Trump. Me again herethis smack, but he's getting beaten before
this spack down on US radio sevenKTRHI twenty two is the time here in
Houston's morning news, Representative Troy Nailsjoins us, get a little reaction here.
You you've been in the Trump courtroom. I don't assume you probably weren't

(00:22):
in the tourt room yesterday? Wereyou when the verdict was read? No,
I was not thank you for havingme first reaction when you heard that
thirty four counts have found guilty onall counts in this particular case. Well,
it wasn't really surprised because when Idid attend the hearing a couple of
weeks ago, Uh, you couldjust see the judge and every time the

(00:43):
defense council objected, he overruled it. I looked at the jurors, I
could see several of them. Isaid, this doesn't look good with the
jury, and I just think thatit was stacked. The deck was stacked
against him. The judge is compromised, obviously, and so it really didn't
surprise me. But a very darkday yesterday for America. It was hard

(01:03):
for me to even sleep last nightknowing you know what actually took place,
and I don't know how we recoverfrom it. I really don't, because
this is the first time this hasnever happened to a former president. And
the left will do They won't stop, they don't care, they'll do anything
to keep power. They'll do it. It's not just the left though,
I mean, you've got an awfullot of people in the Republican Party who

(01:26):
haven't necessarily been staunch defenders of theperson who is a presumptive as they keep
calling him nominee of the party withsentencing four days before the convention, is
there going to be a move afootto get Trump off the ticket and to
insert I mean, coming out ofFlorida, there's an awful lot of noise.
I'm sure, well, but that'snot happening. The mega movement is

(01:49):
too strong. And I think afterwhat you saw yesterday, they said that
the wind read the big campaign duringthe site, it crashed because so many
people were getting online to to showsupport for Donald Trump. So if that's
what the strategy is by the bigfat boy Chris Christian some of these other
guys, good luck with that.Janna Ellis and all the others, you
know, what get behind the leaderof our party. I spoke to a

(02:13):
big group last night and we hada couple hundred people there and they're all
supporting Donald Trump. It was peopleare going to be united. I think
the Republican Party is going to bemore united maybe than ever before, for
Donald Trump for what the left hasdone to him. How do you fight
back against this, though, Congressman, what can you as a congressman and

(02:35):
as Republicans in Congress, what canyou do to fight back against law fair?
Because clearly this strategy is to acertain extent working for them. I
mean, if he gets sentenced tojail, and who knows what this judge
he probably could sentence him to jail, he's not even going to be able
to appear at the Republican convention.Yeah, that they have to be very
careful. As Sarah said, youknow July eleventh, that would be a

(02:57):
Thursday, I believe, and wehave the convention that filed, you know,
that weekend. So I think it'sit's a very dangerous game they're playing
now that the Congress listen, weJudiciary Committee, we have all these hearings
you've seen us. We brought upGarland, the doj We brought in the
FBI director, but you know,there's only so much we can do,
and then we can't even seem toagree on what to do with some of

(03:22):
these others. Majorc is. Yes, we did impeach, but when you
don't have the Senate, it's dead. It's not going anywhere. But you
know what, the Republican Party,we gave the FBI how many hundreds of
millions so they can build a newbuilding. So, yes, we do
have our own internal issues, butthe only way we can really fix our
country it's not Congress. It's apresident of the United States. You have

(03:43):
to have the White House. Youhave to have it. Okay, what
do you think this does as faras national support for Trump? This is
helped, hurt or does it notdo necessarily either? I guess it plays
amongst the independence more than anybody elsedoes that. I think it does.
I'm concerned about that ten percent,But I really believe that Donald Trump.
His polling has been very good,especially amongst the minority groups. And I

(04:06):
think if Donald Trump can get twentypercent of the African American vote and get
those fanics, I think it'll bevery difficult for Joe Biden to overcome that.
I think June twenty fourth is abig deal with the first debate,
and it'll be interesting how many timesyou'll hear Joe Biden call him a convicted
felon. Will will there ever berepercussions? I mean, it's great to

(04:28):
hold hearings, and it's great tohave news conferences and all this. When
will there be repercussions for how theyhave perverted the system against these democrats in
control? Well, I think it'svery important for Donald Trump now, and
I believe he will stay on targetwhen he has his debates, and he
will have rallies. If they don'tkeep him under harsh arrests or something else.
He just can talk about his record, Sarah, his four years our

(04:51):
country was just we were flourishing.Everything was good. We didn't have the
wars across the world. Everything wasgood. And if he can just focus
on those things, the inflation,the boorer the interest rates, the crime,
he stays on focus. I thinkthe American people see the damage that's
been done by this idiot. Wehaven't in with Joe Biden in his administration,

(05:12):
and I think the American people aresmart enough to see we were better
off four years ago than we certainlyare today. Hi Congressman, thanks as
always appreciate it that as representative.Troy nails at six twenty seven, you're
