Speaker 1 (00:01):
Seven two now here in Houston's morning Notes. So, who
will be the next Speaker of the Texas House? Dustin
Burroughs evidently thinks he will be. I know the governor.
Governor Rappitt's made it pretty clear he wants Cook to
be the next Speaker of the House. Steve Toath joins
US Texas state representative. What is this, though, about Dustin
Burroughs actually billing himself as the Speaker elect? What is
(00:22):
that about?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I don't know, Jimmy. I always thought I had to
actually get elected to something, nor to be called Speaker elect.
But evidently they thought this is a good idea. Identify.
This is what liberals do. They identify with whatever they
want to be, even though there's no reality to it.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Oh okay, kind of like a man identifying as a
woman or a woman identifying as a man. He identifies
as the Texas House speaker.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Correct? Correct, Gotta believe it, gotta believe.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Okay, All right, we know that neither candidate last I heard,
neither candidate has enough votes. Has that changed at all
as far as you can tell?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah? Drastically so Burrow's. Burrow's high watermark was forty one Republicans,
he's down to thirty one. David Cook started at forty
eight and he's now up to fifty five or fifty
seven something like that. And that's before that's before the
governor got involved and said that he was picking David Cook.
And again another goofy thing is that Cook is but
(01:22):
is backed by the lobby right and they're spending millions
to try and get him in there. And they many
Republicans across the state of Texas. I'll bet the vast
majority of your listeners are getting these text messages talking
about David Cook being a terrible liberal and it's just
it's all garbage, right. One of the texts that came
(01:43):
out a couple of days ago showed a picture of
Burrows with a governor, and you know, it's very misleading
because you'd believe that from looking at it, that the
governor is endorsing him when he's not none at all.
In fact, he was going to stay out of it
until until Burrow's started claiming that he had his endorsement.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I know that Dustin Burroughs at one point in time
was a supporter of Dad Feeling. So is he just
Daid Feeling light or Is he just another date feeling.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, completely, he's daid feeling two point zero. And he's
cut a deal with the Democrats to continue to give
them committee chairmanships. He's cut a deal with the Democrats
to eliminate parental choice and deciding where your tax dollars
dollars go to educate your children. He's terrible.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Okay, so you said that David Cook has the support
of fifty seven you believe fifty seven Texas Republicans. Is
that enough to get him the speakership.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
No, it's not. There are eighty eight Republicans. We've all
got to get on board. We want to make sure
that the Republicans pick the next speaker and not the Democrats.
Now he's won the caucus vote, which gives him the
ability to talk to Democrats that want to talk to him,
but that's not where we're focused. We're focused on the
Republican and getting the Republicans on board. The Republicans need
(03:03):
to unify around one person, and that's David Cook.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Okay, Why why has it been hard to get the
Republicans all on the same page.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Because you've got some that just that are part of
the swamp. Jimmy Moore. It's just they they want to
do the big the bidding of the lobby, they want
to do the bidding of the teachers' unions, and this
whole idea of eliminating Democrat committee chairs. It's just something
that they're just not comfortable with. They want to. You know,
we're we're Texas. We've got eighty eight Republicans to sixty
(03:36):
two Democrats, and they want to share chairmanships with Democrats.
What's with that?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, they ought to be they ought to all signed
up for the No Labels Party? Is that because they're
all a bunch of rhinos? I thought I thought we
got rid of most of the rhinos in this last election.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We did. The governor spent heavily, he worked hard, and
the grassroots groups across the state of Texas worked really hard.
And we've got a fifteen new, strong, courageous Republicans that
took out fifteen rhinos and we're pretty excited about that.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Okay, I just need to get rid of a few more.
I guess all right. Steve. Thanks, that's Texas State Representative
Steve Toath. It's seven twenty six
