Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Pretendate. Governor Dan Patrick presides over the state of Texas
State Senate. The Speaker of the House, of course presides
over the lower house of the state legislature, and that's
the House of Representatives. The Governor, of course presides or

(00:20):
sits atop the executive branch. And then you've got the
judicial branch. In the state of Texas, we have a
state Supreme Court which handles the civil matters, and we
have the Court of Criminal Appeals, which handles the criminal matters.
Unlike at the United States federal level, we actually have

(00:41):
two separate courts that are the courts of last resort,
the highest courts in the state of Texas. So the
Texas State Supreme Court does not here as broad a
jurisdiction as the U. S Supreme Court does because it
only handles the civil cases non criminal, so that would
be tort and contract and property and the light. We

(01:05):
have a Court of Criminal Appeals which handles death penalty
and other criminal matters. But back to the legislature, we
have two branches, two houses of the legislature. The lower house,
the House of Representatives, the upper the state Senate, And
just like the federal legislative branches. The lower House has

(01:26):
two year terms. The upper house, the Senate, serves six
year terms. And you remember, if you grew up in
Texas from Texas History in seventh grade, you remember that
our state legislature meets every two years for one hundred
and fifty days. We are in the middle of that

(01:47):
right now. You're not hearing a lot about it. And
the reason is, even though we managed to dislodge drunk
Dad as Speaker of the House, he was placed with
the power of the Democrats. Even though they're in the
minority with only sixty two of the seventy six votes

(02:08):
it takes to get to a majority. The Democrats controlled
who the replacement would be, and that is Dustin Burroughs,
who was one of drunk Dade's top deputies. Drunk Dad
was wounded because of the many mistakes he made, none
so big even being drunk while presiding, None allegedly none

(02:31):
so big as going after Ken Paxton. What drunk Day
did at the direction of some outside, very wealthy donors
is at the very end of the session two years ago,
at the very end of the session, the last thing
they did, and they rushed it through, was articles of

(02:53):
impeachment against the Attorney General, Ken Paxton, Paxton, who is
insanely popular with Republican voters, and that's why some of
the state reps lost their reelection bids this past November,
not enough of them. It's why the Speaker of the

(03:13):
House had to go to a runoff against a challenger
and was actually trailing going into the runoff. And the
only reason he won is because some very clever Karl
Rove Heights, including Karl Rove, got about a thousand Democrats
to vote in a Republican primary for Drunk Day. So

(03:37):
Drunk Day didn't win the Republican primary with Republican votes,
which is sort of interesting and consistent because he didn't
win the speakership with Republican votes. He won the speakership
with Democrat votes and a few Republicans, and once they
get to the majority, the other Republicans fall in line.
So the final vote is not what really happens. But
that little game they played because the big donors told

(04:01):
them to to knock out Ken Paxton. Remember when it
went to the Senate, Paxton was acquitted. That little game
they played cost you the taxpayer a lot of money.
But Drunk Dad didn't want to tell you how much
of your money was spent. But Lieutenant Governor dan Patrick
had been like a dog on a bone on this issue. Now,

(04:25):
the Senate spent four hundred thousand dollars conducting the trial
once the articles of impeachment were in place, four hundred
thousand dollars. We now know four hundred and forty thousand.
We now know that the State House, under drunk Dad's leadership,
spent four point four million dollars on the impeachment of

(04:51):
Ken Paxton. Four point four million dollars. Think about what
you could do with four point four million dollars. They
already had full staffs. They already had all the people
working in their offices that they needed if they wanted
this coup against the attorney General. Dan Patrick says those

(05:15):
financial records are now in the hands of state auditors
to figure out where exactly they spent that money. Dan
Patrick also points out that drunk Dade refused to release
those records because he was up for reelection and he
was scared to death that if voters knew what he
had done, he wouldn't be re elected. Dan Patrick writes,

(05:35):
quote former Speaker Dade feeling he omitted the drunk Dad
failed to comply with the audit and refused to release
the House's expenses to the state auditor despite multiple calls
for him to do so on behalf of taxpayers. Taxpayers
have a right to know how their money was spent
on an impeachment and trial that should never have taken place.

(06:00):
Dade officially left the Speaker's office two months ago and
still had not released the records. I asked the News Speaker,
Dustin Burrows, to release the documents. Yesterday he handed me
two boxes of detailed expenditures, which I turned over to
the state auditor today. He adds that quote, the Senate
spent taxpayer dollars as prudently as possible, only spending roughly

(06:23):
four hundred thirty five thousand dollars on the entire impeachment
trial that included one hundred thirty five thousand dollars spent
to print every word in the journal, which was required
of the Senate. We will await the State Auditor's final report,
but by the House's own count in the documents, Speaker
Flan spent over four point four million dollars. That is

(06:47):
ten times more than what the Senate had to spend
on the House's failed impeachment of our Attorney General. What
a total waste of taxpayer moneyne General Ken Paxton ads
the sham impeachment will be remembered as one of the
most corrupt political scandals in Texas history. Today we are

(07:09):
one step closer to learning how much unethical Speaker Dade
Feeling and his cronies cost Texas taxpayers. And the sad part,
drunk Dade's cronies are still in charge of the State
House in Lacy Hall and Will metcath and Mono Diala

(07:30):
and all of them, all of these Republicans, Sam Harless,
all these go along to get along, owned by the
big money Republicans. They just replaced drunk Dad with drunk
Daid's number two. Now the real reason that they impeached Paxton,

(07:51):
the real reason has to do with him challenging John Corney.
That's why the big money guys don't want Corn defeated,
and they know Paxton will oh, so that's why they
were trying to get rid of it. I was in
error when I told you that the State House serves
two year terms, the same as House of Representatives in Congress.

(08:12):
The US Congress. That is true. But when I told
you that the state Senate they serve six year terms,
that is not true. State Representative Steve Toath corrected me
on that, and it is actually four year terms. But
I looked it up and I don't think I ever

(08:33):
knew this. This is a quirk. Listen to this. A senator,
a state senator serves a four year term, but every
third term every ten years, they serve two four years
and one two year. So I'll just read to you directly.

(08:55):
Terms for state senators are four years in length, with
one two year term each decade. Senators are divided into
two groups, based in part on the intervening census. So
you've got thirty one state senators right in elections in
years ending in two the election after the census, So

(09:16):
twenty twenty two, twenty twelve, two thousand and two, twenty
thirty two, all all thirty one seats are up for election.
Once the Senate meets in session. After said election, the
senators participate in a drawing to determine their election cycle.
One half of them will have a two to four

(09:39):
to four cycle, so they'll serve two years and then
a four year and a four year. The other half
will have a four to four to two cycle, so
they will serve four years, four years, and then two
years every two years. About half of the Texas Senate

(09:59):
is on the ballot. Of course, there is no exact
half of thirty one, but you get the point. I
did not know that, and I don't know why I
didn't know that. Seems like the kind of thing I
should have known. Feels like the kind of thing it's
a little bit deep in the weeds, but it still
feels like kind of one of those things that I

(10:20):
should have been taught at some point along the way,
or I should have read myself, or I should have
had conversations about it. An Air India flight was forced
to circle back to Chicago five hours into their journey
after eleven of the twelve toilets on board broke down,

(10:45):
leaving leaving one toilet for three hundred passengers. Man, I
have had to fly several times since. Actually, I've had
to find more than usual since the syndication deal. So
since well, let's just say since an overum first, I've
been on a plane way more than usual. And I

(11:07):
gotta tell you when you gotta go. And there is
somebody in the toilet and you wonder what are you
doing in there? How long do you need one toilet
for three hundred passengers. I drink a lot of water
and I peel a lot. Air India flight one twenty

(11:29):
six was making its way over Greenland on March fifth
when eleven out of the twelve toilets broke, so they
turned around. They're five hours into a long flight and
they turned back around. Let me tell you something. That's
a long flight to India. Woh my, that is uh

(11:54):
and that means for that five hours you couldn't pee
your poop. That's not nice. Like Ebonics Airway, it's way nice.

(15:37):

how to do that.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
So I ain't gonna tell you to the keeper the store.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
And the.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
For Biden has been in court asking a federal judge
to drop a lawsuit that he had filed. The lawsuit
was against a former Trump White House aid and it
related to hacking his laptop. And the reason he dropped

(16:17):
the case, he says, is because he's millions of dollars
in debt. He says he can't sell his artwork anymore.
You know, during the Biden administration, I read this weekend.
During the Biden administration, Hunter Biden made more money off

(16:42):
the sell of his art than any living artist by multiples.
Now you think about this, the well established art industry
that you think, how many thousand people make a living

(17:08):
as artists. You think of all the people who make
a living promoting those artists, selling their art, showing their art, exhibitions, galleries,
all of that, This incredibly well established art scene which
is massive money the world over. And then here comes

(17:30):
along a guy who's never painted anything, nothing, and all
of a sudden, he's an artist. You know how devious
this plan is. Remember Hunter was in all sorts of problems,
all sorts of legal issues. And I'll never forget because

(17:53):
Chad brought me the article. There was an article in
the New York Times. It was a Sunday paper, and
it was this glowing review of Hunter Biden starting all
over again. He had leased an artist's retreat in California,
twenty grand a month money And where'd that money come from?

(18:16):
He had leased an artists retreat in California where he
and his girlfriend. Never the mind that he had impregnated
his dead brother's wife. He had dumped his own wife.
He had a baby by a stripper who was living
in Little Rock, that he denied paternity, but of course

(18:38):
it was proven. They never claimed when they claimed they
had six grandkids, the Bidens they had seven, because that
is their grand Do they like it or not, they
can't deny legitimacy. Here, The New York Times writes this
article saying that Hunter is going to begin life anew,

(19:00):
his renaissance, his resurrection as an artist, is going to paint.
He's starting over. Well, little did we know that that
whole setup was the predicate for how he was going
to get paid. Now it wasn't going to be Barisma,

(19:21):
the Ukrainian oil company. Now we were going to be
able to pay Joe Biden directly as a bribe, well
directly through the straw man of his son. So all
his son had to do was finger paint and to
take the paint and we sell it. We sell it

(19:42):
to people who want access to Joe Biden, but we
don't have to disclose that on a federal election Commission form.
It's a private art cell to Hunter Biden because he's
one hell of an artist, and everyone wants Hunter's art

(20:02):
hanging on their wall. So he starts his little finger
painting business and they make we don't know how many
million dollars because all the people involved in this. All
those people won't tell what they paid, and Hunter won't

(20:22):
tell how much he made. But in front of a judge,
he said. New York Post says quote Hunter blamed dwindling
sales from his artwork and his twenty twenty one memoir
Beautiful Things it was the name of his memoir for
his so called dire financial situation. In the two to

(20:44):
three years prior to December of twenty twenty three, I
sold twenty seven pieces of art for an average of
fifty four, four hundred and eighty one dollars a piece.
But since then I've only sold one piece of art
for thirty six thousand dollars. Hmm. Isn't that weird? Isn't

(21:06):
it odd that he was able to make all this
money selling his art and then all of a sudden,
his dad's not president anymore and nobody wants his art.
It's almost as if call me crazy conspiracy theorist, It's
almost as if nobody wanted his art. This was a

(21:30):
way too legally well, this was a way to questionably
but quietly bribe Joe Biden. Maybe what happened is they
figured out that Joe Biden wasn't running the country. Anymore,

(21:53):
that you'd have to find another way to bribe other people.
And the way that comes about is somebody bought art
quote unquote, somebody bribed Joe Biden by buying Hunter's art,
and Hunter gave his portion to Joe Biden, or didn't,

(22:13):
and Joe Biden wasn't able to do what they needed done.
Signed something into law, put a special exemption for their
company over here, make them an ambassador, put them into
this category where they get these federal subsidies. Somebody figured

(22:34):
out that bribing Joe Biden doesn't work anymore because Joe
doesn't know about it, or knows about it and can't
remember it five minutes later, or or the people running
the country don't let Joe do anything anymore. So Hunter
Biden has had to drop his lawsuit because he can't
pay his lawyers. He also can't sell his memoir. Now

(22:59):
what's in interesting about that is why do you think
he was able to buy his He was able to
sell his memoir, he says, in the first six months
of sales, three and sixty one copies were sold. Given
the positive feedback and reviews of my artwork in minoir,
I was expecting to obtain paid speaking engagements and paid appearances,

(23:24):
but that has not happened. I wonder why that is.
Why wouldn't people want Hunter Biden to come give a speech.
This guy's had an amazing life. He's a business genius.
You look at all the money that his private equity
fund raised. You look at his service on the Ukrainian

(23:47):
oil company board, for which he was paid millions. He's
an expert in a lot of different things. He has
a law degree, he doesn't practice. He was the most
successful living artist. We're told by insiders in the Biden
administration that during the last few months of the Biden

(24:08):
administration Hunter was announcing I'm in charge at cabinet meetings,
taking the power away from jail. I mean, why wouldn't
you want Hunter Biden as a speaker. But sadly he's bankrupt.
It's almost as if the reason he made all that
money was as the bagman for bribes to his father,

(24:31):
Joe Biden. I realized that tax policy is not good radio.
I get that, but this is important. President Trump, on
the campaign trail, was calling for an increase in the

(24:52):
deduction of what's known as salt, which is the state
and local tax deduction. And I'm going to speak very
simply and a little overbroad, but to make it easy,
we don't have a state income tax in Texas. Now.
We do have a franchise tax, and we do a
sales tax, and we have an astronomically high property tax.

(25:17):
And the truth is we're no longer a low tax
state we used to be. But the sad reality is
too many Republicans, which is the vast majority of them,
too many Republicans in our state government do not wish
to lower or reduce the size of the state and

(25:38):
of government. And then we've got say the City of Houston,
which has seen an explosion in spending most of that
on labor now and you're never going to see a reduction.
You've got sixty percent of the budget on cops and firefighters.
You're never going to see a reduction there. You're only
going to see that go up. And the other forty percent,

(26:00):
we can't reduce the size of that government. So they
do a hiring freeze. I mean, because nobody wants to
eliminate jobs. Nobody wants to eliminate jobs. And when you
actually study City of Houston municipal elections, and this is
true across the country. When you consider that the most

(26:22):
powerful forces in electing the mayor are people who draw
a paycheck from city government, you realize there is no
hope left. Your best hope is least worst, but it's
never going to get better. You're never going to reduce
the size of City of Houston government, not under Whipmeyer,

(26:44):
not under the last mayors for a very long time.
You're not going to do it because that the biggest
expense is labor, and labor drives the election. Going from
a two year to a four year could mean that
a mayor in their second term could do it, and
Whitmeyer would have that opportunity because from there he's likely
not going to have another opportunity to serve in government.

(27:06):
So you could leave the city better, but it's still
not likely. So you got this salt deduction, state and
local tax deduction. And the problem is in the state
of Texas, since we don't have an income tax, and
in states like Colorado or California or New York that do,
it means that that state has access to a funding

(27:28):
source that the State of Texas doesn't have, and we
af set that by higher property taxes. But if you
let the people in California, Colorado, New York, if you
let those people write off those state and local taxes
off of their federal income tax burden. If we agree

(27:51):
that the federal government is going to have to raise
let's make any number of create the number of trillion dollars,
whatever that number is going to be this year. How
are we going to divide amongst our people how much
they pay. If we let the people in California, Colorado,
New York, states with state income taxes, if we let

(28:13):
them deduct that off what they pay, that means that
the people in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, states that don't
have a state income tax, we don't get that deduction.
So the answer in Congress, so the answer to that
should be, we're not going to allow AsSalt deduction. If

(28:35):
you're going to pay your state income taxes, and just
like the people that don't have one, you're gonna pay
your federal income taxes. And if you don't want to
pay state income taxes, change the law. But by giving
them that tax break, you don't encourage them to change
the law. They have no incentive because they just reduce
their federal taxes, which means they have an equal tax

(28:58):
burden to you, but you're paying for the federal government
that they benefit from instead of paying into your state. Right,
if you were going to reduce those state and local
tax burdens, because there are tax write offs in the
state of Texas as well, I'm not saying there's not.

(29:21):
By allowing that on the federal income taxes as a deduction,
you don't make people want to reduce their state tax burden,
and that I think is a problem. And rather than
fix that problem, what's been done instead was to increase
the standard deduction. And I think that what did I

(29:42):
read standard deduction went up to I can't recall what
that is, but the standard deduction went way up. So
all you're doing now is trying to find a way
to win votes and appease people without actually solving the problem.

(30:04):
Since we're on the subject, this is going to be
a fun thing to watch when you look at varying
states tax burdens. Nineteen states presently are in a position
to tax student loan forgiveness, So those folks who had
their student loans forgiven by the Biden administration as a

(30:28):
means of buying votes, Hey, you don't have to pay
back the government vote for me. Those people are then
going to have to pay taxes on the amount that
they received in student loan forgiveness as a one time
expense in nineteen states unless those laws are changed, and

(30:50):
they won't be I don't believe they will be, not
in all of them, probably not in any of them,
because it's a money grab for those states. So if
you owed one hundred thousand or more, which many people did,
and that loan was forgiven, that's wonderful. But now you've
got to pay taxes on it as if it's income,

(31:11):
which in effect it is. I mean, really, if you
think about it, it is income. It's sort of like
when you win, you know, the car in a raffle,
and you find out, oh, I got to pay taxes
on it. You're really happy to have something if it's

(31:34):
truly free, but when you have to pay taxes on something,
you probably still want it. But that's also why you
find out that when people go on to game shows
and win a car, they always sell it because they
don't have the money even for the taxes of it,
which takes away a whole lot of the fun when

(31:56):
you win something and have to pay taxes on it.
You didn't win what you thought you won. You won
whatever your tax burden is three quarters of that or
sixty five percent of that, that's a whole lot less
exciting than you believed in the first place. But if
you leave these taxes in place and you force people

(32:18):
to bear the burden, just like if you don't let
illegal aliens into this country, you have to assume that
illegal aliens are people who didn't like the status of
the government where they lived. By letting them come to
the United States, you remove the revolutionary element in countries
that might have been able to bring about governmental change

(32:41):
because now they're living up here. You leave them in
that country, and eventually you're going to have revolution in
some cases. Eventually you're going to see the change that
people wanted, at least ideally. That's how that's supposed to work.
I didn't have time to get to it today, but
will tomorrow. There's date on border crossing numbers. As President

(33:03):
Trump said, Congress told you that they needed all these
laws to bring change and secure the border. All we
really needed to change was who the president was. Border
patrol sources tell me that the border patrol, that the
border is safer and less active than it has been
in my lifetime. That's exciting.
