Gary Polland – Attorney & Legal Expert Joins Houston Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Who's playing offense and who's playing defense. On November sixth,
it's seven two here on Houston's Morning News. I guess
that depends on the election results, doesn't it. Gary Pollin
joins US attorney and legal expert. I guess both sides
are getting prepared, aren't they, Gary, depending upon how the
election turns out.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
That's correct. They both they're ready for with legal teams
to challenge any irregularities that take place around the country
if the election is close.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
How about here in Harris County. How prepared is Harris
County should there be a debacle or for Bend or
any of these counties.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Well, I know that the local party has got a
team of lawyers ready to get involved. Again, it all
depends on whether the elections are close. I do think,
in speaking in Harris County, that letting the county clerk
take over from the unelected election administrator was a good
move required by Texas law, engineered by Governor Abbott and

(01:00):
Lieutenant Governor Patrick. So that's positive for ben. I don't
know what's going on there because of the issues with
the county judge and a candidate for County commissioner that
have been involved in improper activities and election activities.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
M M and Dallas and Terran County are having trouble
even reporting how many people vote daily.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, which is kind of it's kind of that's kind
of scary that we've run into this situation when when
we see that happen from our side, you get concerned.
The reason the information is not available is because there's
attempts being made to manipulate the election.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Of course, let me ask you this, let's look at
it from the other side here. What do you think
Democrats are prepared to do with Trump wins.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, for number one, I think they're going to get
into the streets and protests. The same crowd that's out
there protesting against Israel will be the same crowd they
get out to protest against the Trump victory. I think
what's critical for or that not just for us, but
for the entire country, is that when President Trump wins,
that he wins by a good enough margin that they

(02:09):
can't argue that their irregularities, and that means that his
election is not to be certified. Because the anti Trump
people are so so delusional when it comes to Trump,
anything he says or does, they're against so him winning
is going to cause them all these concerns, especially with

(02:30):
all the talk of the end of democracy of Trump wins.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, and what about the anti Trump Republicans? Are they
are they just as likely to participate in that they
seem to be just as delusional as the other side.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Well, there's no question, but I think the number of
anti Trump Republicans is significantly down on what has been
in the past because when you take it, when you
compare what President Trump brings to the table as a
candidate and his vision for the country with Kamala Harris's
it's like your kid, you're really going to support her.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
So many states have either or you vote you're registered
as a Democrat or Republican, unlike Texas, where you don't
have to be registered per se with a party. So
is there one train of thought now that we will
know even before election day who wins.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, you have an idea as to the party affiliation
when you look at that, but that's not a guarantee
people are going to vote that way just because you're
a registered Republican Democrat or to clear yourself with Republican
or Democrat in Texas, which you can do. That doesn't
mean you're going to vote Republican or Democrat. I don't
think that doesn't necessarily tell us who's going to win

(03:46):
or lose. But I do think if you look at
what's going on in the election, the fact that Kamala
Harris is coming to Texas, which clearly nobody believes is
in play, indicates that they know the Democrat's maybe shifting
from trying to win the White House to try to
save or win congressional seats.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Right exactly. That's what I was going to ask you,
is whether or not you thought that the Cruise all
Red breaks may end up in court.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
I don't think so. I think that they've under Cruise's support,
I think is underestimated already has run a basement campaign,
spending for maybe one hundred million dollars on television. You know,
if you watch television, you've seen his ads in ten
of them, but they're the same stuff being repeated over
and over again. He has no message, and he's wrong

(04:35):
on almost every issue except if you're a pro abortion,
and in that case he's probably your horse. Well, but
if you care about the border and the economy, men
and women in sports, you know Ted Cruz as

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Your man well and in his campaign is pretty much
like Kamala Harris's Gary Thanks, is always good to talk
