Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Veri Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I mentioned that my granddad was a Baptist preacher and
when I was real little, he told me that we're
supposed to follow Jesus's two commandments, love God and love neighbor.
And I believe forcing my religion down the throats of
my Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist, agnostic neighbors is not love,
(00:41):
and it's why I have fought so hard for the
separation of church and state. I was raised to believe
that that boundary in our First Amendment is a sacred boundary,
and it doesn't just benefit our democracy, although it certainly does,
it also benefits the church because when the Church gets
too cozy with political power, is its prophetic voice. And
(01:01):
so I hope in the US Senate that I can
continue my fight against Christian nationalism because it is fundamentally
un Christian.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It is a betrayal of Jesus of.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Nazareth, his life, his depth, and his teachers. God is
non binary. Prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon
with my own whiteness in context of abortion. Before God
comes over Mary and we have the incarnation. God asks
for Mary's consent, which is remarkable.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I mean, go back and read this in Luke.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I mean the angel comes down and asks Mary if
this is something she wants to do, and she says,
if it is God's will, let it be.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Done, let it be let it happen.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So to me, that is an affirmation in one of
our most central stories that creation has to be done
with consent.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's normical to watch the Democrat Party fall apart, and
Kamala Harris was supposed to be, well, we'll just attack
white males and toxic masculinity and we'll get everybody but
(02:18):
the white males to vote against them, and some of
the white males are such sissies and so self loathing
that they'll join us too. Didn't work, so now they're
back to trying to recruit white males. They got platiner
A Nazi in Maine, and then you got James Tallerico
(02:41):
in Texas. And this is turning out to be something
really really funny. I mean really funny, because this fella
is turning out to be creepier and weirder by the day.
And what you find out with these types is once
(03:05):
you see a break in the facade, you start noticing
they're not a little bit weird. They've experimented with a
whole lot of weird. They've kind of been running in
the circles of the weird. They've experimented with a skin
(03:26):
suit of all sorts of positions on all sorts of issues,
and they've basically spoken publicly against everything at least a
Texan holds deer. The moment that he declared that his
(03:47):
campaign was vegan or I meet free, We're vegan, was
the moment Texans thought, wait a second. This is the
state where Oprah Winfrey was defeated in a courtroom for
trashing the beef supply. This is the cattle state we're
(04:08):
talking about, Texas. You might could get away with that
in Bernie Sanders, Vermont, not in Texas. That's not happening here.
This is the place where paste Peconte Sauce had a
commercial that said another salsa was from New York City
(04:29):
and the response was get a rope right. Well, Talafrico
has now had to come out and say our campaign
is not vegan and God is not binary. And when
I said there were six genders maybe I was a
little wrong, but he made sure to release a picture
of himself with a turkey leg in his mouth, and
(04:51):
he said, anybody who says that our campaign is vegan,
you said it. Them's fighting words here in Texas. Him
is a fighting words. Can you imagine a James Tallerico
fight club?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
All right, everyone? Rule one of fight Club. Tell everyone
about fight club. I mean everyone. I need the world
to understand Jimmy t eats testosterone for breakfast along with
my side of scones.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Rule two of fight club. Tell everyone about this fight club.
I'm serious. Didn't he just say that I'm serious? People
Tell a friend and have a friend, tell another friend,
call your aunt, gladys. I mean business with this fighting
manly men stuff. I need everybody to know it. Rule
three of fight Club Matthew twenty six point fifty two.
For those who habitually draw the sword, We'll die by
(05:45):
the sword.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
So those swords, guys, those suckers are really sharp and pointing,
and they make a bunch of alleys. I don't really
need that. Rule four of fight Club. You shall love
your neighbor as yourself. I think we know what that
means why people have been loving themselves for way too long.
That's right. White privilege penalty. Black fighters awarded three points automatically.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Oh hell.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Rule five of Jimmy T's Fight Club. The Bible says
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Simple math tells us those cancel each other out, So
no hitting in the ironmouth?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Who is this guy?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Has he actually ever read the bubble?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
And finally, Rule six of Jimmy T's Fight Club, there's
neither gentile, neither slave nor.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Free, nor is their male or female.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
For you are all want in Christ Jesus simple message there,
All six genders are welcome to get it on here
at Jimmy Te's Fight Club. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
Him's Shim's days, those and all the others.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Get ready to fight with your grand weapon. That's right.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Tyranny will rain down as you destroy your opponent with
this superior one thousand thread count Egyptian pillow. Let's get
it on, hell, Time out, time out. I got a
feather in my eyeb off, and what.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I see all over the place is people who care
about looking good while doing evil.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
The Michael Very.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Hue It is amazing to me. It's important that you
understand this. How many politicians give as their opinion, not
what they believe to be true, but what they're grinding
an acts they're angry at someone. Louis Gohmert, for instance,
(07:37):
he was a US congressman from Texas and he ran
for attorney general. They put him up to run against
Ken Paxton, and there was a runoff. He didn't make it.
He came out in fourth place with seventeen percent of
the vote. And here he is repeating the same old
talking points that Ken Paxton is corrupt because of you know, accusations.
(08:01):
He told a lot of lies.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
As his wife now knows, he lied a lot. He's
quite corrupt, quite corrupt. From all the things I know,
I think he's the most corrupt attorney general we've had
in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Bitter, not a good look. Bitter.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
How's he corrupt? Because he charged him with crimes for
which he was found not guilty. Why don't you finish
that sentence? Why don't you say he's just as corrupt
a soul Trump, who had what thirty four felonies? Why
don't you say he's got an egen? Carol out there
like Trump did. Why don't you say big Leticia big Tish,
(08:44):
the Attorney General of New York, accused him, charged him
with mortgage fraud. Turns out she was doing it herself.
Or what about fat Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor in New
York who brought charges against Trump. What about when they
went through his wife's handy George. What about fat Fannie
down in Atlanta and her boyfriend, hot dog Nathan? What
(09:04):
about Jack Smith out of the Department of Justice? What
about all the people they sicked on Trump and all
the felonies they got? Was he corrupt? Louis? Was he corrupt?
Fact is a lot of these politicians have visions of grandeur,
like sugar plums dancing in their heads. They're going to
(09:25):
be great, They're going to be grand, and when they
are defeated, they are bitter. Oh horror, they ever bitter.
Congressman Brandon Gill was on Fox News with Laura Ingram
when he was asked what he knew about Ken Paxton
that the Republican establishment did not when he endorsed him
over John Wayne mccordin, you.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Endorsed Paxton before President Trump came out and endorsed him,
despite the fact that not one sitting Republican senator endorsed him.
What do you know that the GOP establishment didn't at
what age thirty two, all of thirty two that.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
You are, well, what I know is that the people
of Texas are looking for somebody who's going to fight
for them and washing you know, right now, it's not
good enough to say the right things, to say I'm
going to do this, or we should do that. What
the people want, what the Texas GOP voters want is
somebody who's going to do the right thing, who's going
to get to Washington and who's actually going to get
the Save America Act pass, who's not just going to
(10:14):
talk about it, Who's going to do whatever is necessary,
including if that means using a talking filibuster, for somebody
who is going to do what we said we'd do
last cycle, which is mass deportations, not talk about amnesty,
which has been a long history amongst some in our party.
That is not what the people of Texas want. They
want somebody who is going to stand up for conservative
values and do it in a way that gets results.
And that's exactly what Ken Paxton's going to do.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Sean Speiser just the White House Press secretary. He's been
a guest on the show many times. I always say
he's pretty smart when it came to media relations and things.
But he really nailed it. He was on the huddle
when he said, all these people in media who keep
calling Paxton's defeat of cornyin an upset, they don't understand
(10:57):
what happened. Folks. I have said this all along. I
was telling people, Paxton beats Cornyn. How can you say
that the polls showed that corn wins. Poles don't vote,
That's just it. How do movies that have all this
money spent on them flop? Do you know they do tests?
You understand they do tests. They don't just roll out
go hey, let's see I y'all like it. They've been
(11:18):
testing that thing. They've got the best and brightest, the
smartest people to hand you a movie that you will love,
and they get it wrong. And then you got this movie,
The Obsession, that was made for seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. Somehow they got it right. How is it
that the establishment gets it so wrong so many times
(11:41):
because they don't know anybody who drives a truck. They
don't know any textans.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
I'll tell you that I was actually shocked at the
number of media folks that led their broadcast this morning
by saying a huge upset in Texas. We watched the
huddle that wasn't a huge upset that was predicted, and
you know, we talked about the margin of victory. So
I gotta be honest with you, this is an indictment
as far as I'm concerned on any who thought that
was going to be close. That that just tells you
how bad your sources are. This was I think that
(12:05):
Paxson was going to win it regardless. The Trump endorsement
just shows you how powerful it is go down ballot.
By the way, you mentioned this also, Rachel, that schip
Roy the attorney generalize there. He also lost every MAGA
endorsed candidate one last night in Texas. And we keep
seeing this pattern and this is good as gold. When
the President endorses you in a primary, that's worth a
crazy amount and I don't know that you can overcome
it in almost any circumstance. I was growing more and
(12:25):
more strong, which is just fascinating. Here we are any
second term and President Trump's power over the party is growing,
not waning.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Paxson was on Fox News when he said there's some
comedic value to this. I think it's actually true. He
said he doesn't think Tellafrico could win even in California.
Getting campaign views.
Speaker 9 (12:45):
His saying the American flag was a complicated it's a
complicated symbol. Is talking about God being non binary and
pushing men into women's sports.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I mean, the list goes on. And this isn't just
me making this up.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
This is what he actually he said.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
And now he's complaining that I'm quoting him with this,
with his strange, weird comments.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
So California. You know, California was once the most visited state,
the most tourists visited. Businesses were opening up there. You know,
I got to read this. I'll get to it in
the next segment. I saw a uh oh, my goodness.
(13:35):
I saw a stat on where where people are moving,
what states they're moving to. I'll what a maroon.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Told you.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I wanted to share with you about the changes in economics.
I was short on time there. I saw a report
from the Economist, and this is going to blow your mind.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
It is the.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Net change in number of company headquarters from relocations in
only five years from twenty twenty to twenty twenty five,
and they were moving. Three of the five that were
that had the biggest losses were out of California, one
from New York one or in the New York and
(14:29):
then Chicago it's my city, sorry. And three of the
five states they're moving to were Texas and in Arizona
and Tennessee. Net change in company of a number of
company headquarters from relocations five year period twenty twenty twenty
twenty five, Dallas gained almost one hundred. San Francisco lost
(14:53):
actually one hundred. Austin gained about it's on a was
hard to tell about fifty five Austin. Those are high
tech companies moving there. Los Angeles lost about eighty, Houston
gained about twenty five. New York City lost about twenty five.
(15:19):
Phoenix gained about twenty two twenty three. Chicago lost looks
like about ten. San Diego lost about eight. Nashville gained
about twenty three. Three cities Houston, Phoenix, and Nashville gained
(15:41):
not quite twenty twenty five for Houston, let's say twenty
five for three. Let's round them up. Houston, Phoenix in
Nashville all gained about twenty five Three California cities lost
San Diego, La and San Francisco. San Diego because it's
(16:01):
not what it used to be. Los Angeles lost almost
one hundred I saw the other day a picture. It
was the only thing that's been rebuilt after the palis fires,
and it was literally a framed out It was one
framed out wall. It was like a faux wall inn
in a decor store, just so they could hang stuff
on it. They burned that city to the ground, figuratively
(16:24):
and literally, and they won't rebuild. They got a wacko mayor,
Karen Bass. How bad did things have to get that
they would stop voting for a whack chop and they
may steal good crief. San Francisco. I know that when
a lot of people hear San Francisco, they just think
of a bunch of homos. I'm going to taste thatthe
(16:45):
San Francisco is one of the great American cities. It's
a dentity as a gay city. I don't know when
that happened. There was Harvey Milk and all that, but
that was in the seventies. But San Francisco was historically
a great American city. I've quoted many times a line
that I love Tennessee Williams who said there are only
(17:05):
three great American cities, New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans.
Everything else is Cleveland. San Francisco was a great save.
My wife and I used to love to go out
to San Francisco. Our favorite Jewish deli was there. We
go down and eat, go down to Gerard Delly Square.
It was great food, it was an interesting vibe. She's
(17:25):
such a wonderful It's a great architecture. Look at it now,
what's it known for? Now? A TV reporter doing a
story out in the field about the number of smashing
grabs and while they're doing the story, they're van right
there smashing grab people attacked in the middle of a
(17:46):
story about how bad crime is. Liberalism has failed again
and again and again. Eventually, the strong are going to
destroy the week, and the week are going to be
the white liberals. It is suicidal empathy. The only thing
(18:06):
that keeps powerful people from destroying weak people is that
other powerful people will stop in and defeat them. And
it is that threat of power against them. When you
remove that threat and you say no, No, have your
way with these weak white liberals. They will and they have,
(18:27):
and that's where you end up. That's exactly where you
end up. And the left will call that culture wars.
What enforcing the law closing the border. The Houston Chronicles,
quote unquote, business columnist Chris Tomlinson says that Republican voters
have chosen culture war candidates over Chamber of Commerce conservatives. Well,
(18:48):
let me tell you something. The Chamber of Commerce crowd
wanted wide open borders so they could have cheap labor.
The average American was tired of being raped, Layton, robbed, murdered.
So you want to call that culture war, call it
what you want. You're so out of touch, it's embarrassing
(19:11):
for you, or if you had any sense, it would be.
Speaker 10 (19:15):
Republicans are out, culture warriors are in, and political gridlock
is here to stay. Republican primary voters sent a clear
message in the runoff elections. They picked the most extreme
MAGA candidates without regard for expertise. Ken Paxton trounce US
(19:35):
Senator John Cornyn, an old school conservative who cared about governing.
Paxton won by touting his support for President Donald Trump,
including his attempt to overturn the twenty twenty election. MAGA
May's Middleton defeated Chip Roy to win the nomination for
Texas Attorney General. Middleton is a political neo fight, but
(19:58):
he's also the heir to an enormous oil fortune. He
promises to tear down the separation of church and state,
as well as target LGBTQ rights. Then there's Beau French,
another scion of Texas oil money. He won the Republican
nomination to become an energy regulator on the Railroad Commission
(20:18):
by suggesting that we denaturalize and deport one hundred million
US citizens. One thing unites all these candidates a hatred
for people who are not like themselves. While MAGA voters
may find that attractive, most Texans are worried about inflation,
their jobs, and their economic future. Democrats are trying to respond,
(20:43):
and polls show James Tallerico has a chance against Paxton,
but many Texans will never vote for a Democrat. If
Americans want a better economy and government, they will need
to start compromising and voting for candidates who care more
about governing than.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Pop Diamond Forever.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
And so with them.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Michael Berry. Remember that.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Trump was on Fox News with his daughter in law, Laura,
she's married to Eric. When he called Tall Rico a transgender,
that's what he's at.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
They won't change men playing in women's sports. They won't.
You know this transgender, this guy running in Texas. He
says there are six genders. He wears a mask all
the time. You know he's a he's a disaster candidate.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 11 (21:41):
I think Ken Paxson's gonna absolutely just destroy him.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I think that's fair to say.
Speaker 8 (21:49):
So.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
A former Democrat spokesman named exachety Hejosa. The first letter
is an X, and that's like the I think that's
the old Aztec spellings. Those are hard to figure out
how to pronounce, how to pronounce, like jabier can be
ja v I e R, but it can be xav
(22:13):
i e R, in which case the X can be
a ha. But it can be used different ways. The
X can be like an H. So I don't know
if this is so cheaty. This might be so cheaty Hejosa. Anyway,
he's a former Democrat spokesman and he was trying to
(22:34):
defend the Democrat whack job. Wait till you learn more
about this guy in Texas named James Talafrico. He's on
CNN and now we know why. He's a former spokesman.
Speaker 12 (22:48):
He is an eighth generation white Texas male who loves meat.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Okay, so let's unpack that. He's an eighth generation white
male who loves me. So he's real effeminate. So people
are saying he's gay. That's why Trump calls him transgender.
(23:20):
There was a rumor out there that from sixth grade
to ninth grade he dressed as a girl. And you
know there's going to be a lot of rumors between
now and November. If it's true, we'll get verification. I
have no reason to know that it's true yet, but
play that again if you would please.
Speaker 12 (23:40):
He is an eighth generation white Texas male who loves meat.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
So what the Democrats are doing is the Democrats they're
desperately trying to win over voters on identity politics. Except
instead of now saying he's gay, he's black, it's a woman,
it's a transgender. They're trying to win over, if not
(24:11):
white males, in at least white females. Hey, we'll play
identity politics with y'all. Look, we found one who looks
just like you, and they say so, then they start
with he's an eighth generation. First of all, there was
(24:31):
a a congressional primary here where the candidate who was
leading in one very big Trump supported I supported, named
Alex Meeler, was running against an individual who said he
was a fifth generation Texan. Great, wonderful. And I got
(24:51):
into an argument with some friends of mine over this,
and they said, she was born in California, so that's interesting.
Trump was born in New York. How does that matter?
And they started getting really really into American born people
(25:12):
who were not born in Texas. But Democrats have never
been big fans of the who was born in Texas thing.
This is the party of illegal aliens. So for them
to be saying he's an eighth generation, you realize how
(25:34):
far back we're going there. They are rooting him in
the very Texas past that they have called evil so
many times. But what they're doing now, So for all
these years they've said, you, white Texans are devils, and
(25:57):
they keep losing elections, so now they go, we got
us a white Texan vote for him. It's very stealthy.
You gotta give them credit. They're trying to dupe people
who say well, that person's a communist and she's a
(26:18):
black woman. I think I won't vote for well huh, okay,
all right, she's a communist, she's a black woman, and
she tells me I'm a devil and I need to die. Okay,
So we'll get a communist who's a white male. Okay,
he's an eighth generation white Texas male. See what they're
(26:44):
saying is that this is what y'all want to remember,
We're giving it to you. But again with the identity politics,
we don't want to play identity politics. We'll vote for
a black male Wesley huh if he says and does
the right things. We'll vote for a female Alex Meeler
(27:11):
if we like what she stands for. He's an eight
generation white Texas male. What kind of male is that?
What does that mean? My argument on the what generation
you are as? If that's something to make that's great.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with being proud of how
(27:32):
many generations you've been in Texas. But it seems weird
like Davy Crockett came to the Alamo from Tennessee. In fact,
all the major figures, almost all the major figures at
the Alamo were not from Texas, such as Texas was
at that moment, Bowie, Travis Crockett. They came from other places.
(27:59):
Sam Houston came from Tennessee. I've always been kind of
curious when someone, as I said, I want to be clear,
I think it's something to be proud of that you're third, fifth, seventh, whatever,
generation Texan. I think that's cool. I think that's neat.
I'd rag about it too. I don't know what generation am.
(28:20):
I don't I don't. I just don't know because I've
never thought to look it up. I don't know when
our people ever weren't in Texas, but I've never thought,
but there are people especially in Texas. Oh, the seventh
generation Texan. Okay, all right, and what does that? What
does that mean? Well, it's fine that you're rooted in
(28:43):
the place, you're you're committed to it, Okay, great, But
when you're arguing that that is the basis upon which
you're better than the next guy, that's always kind of
creeped me out. But the last thing she says there
is he's an eight generation white Texas who loves me.
He actually came out and said our campaign is vegan
(29:07):
because this is what he does, he picks up the ladies.
And that's what makes him frightening as a potential senator
is whatever's the hot new thing. He'll get caught up
in that. And so since he said he was vegan,
remember we're the state where Oprah Winfrey lost a lawsuit
over attacking the beef industry. She can't show her fat
(29:30):
face in the state of Texas because of it. And
here he comes out, We're gonna be vegan. Hello, I
an eight generation. Wait, taxis maw, We're gonna be vegan.
And now it's so sad, it's like a hostage. He's
holding with a napkin, he's holding a piece of barbecue
and he's eating it. He's like, how I followed Texans.
(29:54):
I'm from I'm wearing at Texas flag shirt. And you
notice
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Veri Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I mentioned that my granddad was a Baptist preacher and
when I was real little, he told me that we're

Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's normical to watch the Democrat Party fall apart, and
Kamala Harris was supposed to be, well, we'll just attack
white males and toxic masculinity and we'll get everybody but
(02:18):
the white males to vote against them, and some of
the white males are such sissies and so self loathing
that they'll join us too. Didn't work, so now they're
back to trying to recruit white males. They got platiner
A Nazi in Maine, and then you got James Tallerico
(02:41):
in Texas. And this is turning out to be something
really really funny. I mean really funny, because this fella
is turning out to be creepier and weirder by the day.
And what you find out with these types is once
(03:05):
you see a break in the facade, you start noticing
they're not a little bit weird. They've experimented with a
whole lot of weird. They've kind of been running in
the circles of the weird. They've experimented with a skin
(03:26):
suit of all sorts of positions on all sorts of issues,
and they've basically spoken publicly against everything at least a
Texan holds deer. The moment that he declared that his
(03:47):
campaign was vegan or I meet free, We're vegan, was
the moment Texans thought, wait a second. This is the
state where Oprah Winfrey was defeated in a courtroom for
trashing the beef supply. This is the cattle state we're
(04:08):
talking about, Texas. You might could get away with that
in Bernie Sanders, Vermont, not in Texas. That's not happening here.
This is the place where paste Peconte Sauce had a
commercial that said another salsa was from New York City
(04:29):
and the response was get a rope right. Well, Talafrico
has now had to come out and say our campaign
is not vegan and God is not binary. And when
I said there were six genders maybe I was a
little wrong, but he made sure to release a picture
of himself with a turkey leg in his mouth, and
(04:51):
he said, anybody who says that our campaign is vegan,
you said it. Them's fighting words here in Texas. Him
is a fighting words. Can you imagine a James Tallerico
fight club?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
All right, everyone? Rule one of fight Club. Tell everyone
about fight club. I mean everyone. I need the world
to understand Jimmy t eats testosterone for breakfast along with
my side of scones.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Rule two of fight club. Tell everyone about this fight club.
I'm serious. Didn't he just say that I'm serious? People
Tell a friend and have a friend, tell another friend,
call your aunt, gladys. I mean business with this fighting
manly men stuff. I need everybody to know it. Rule
three of fight Club Matthew twenty six point fifty two.
For those who habitually draw the sword, We'll die by
(05:45):
the sword.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
So those swords, guys, those suckers are really sharp and pointing,
and they make a bunch of alleys. I don't really
need that. Rule four of fight Club. You shall love
your neighbor as yourself. I think we know what that
means why people have been loving themselves for way too long.
That's right. White privilege penalty. Black fighters awarded three points automatically.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Oh hell.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Rule five of Jimmy T's Fight Club. The Bible says
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Simple math tells us those cancel each other out, So
no hitting in the ironmouth?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Who is this guy?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Has he actually ever read the bubble?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
And finally, Rule six of Jimmy T's Fight Club, there's
neither gentile, neither slave nor.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Free, nor is their male or female.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
For you are all want in Christ Jesus simple message there,
All six genders are welcome to get it on here
at Jimmy Te's Fight Club. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
Him's Shim's days, those and all the others.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Get ready to fight with your grand weapon. That's right.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Tyranny will rain down as you destroy your opponent with
this superior one thousand thread count Egyptian pillow. Let's get
it on, hell, Time out, time out. I got a
feather in my eyeb off, and what.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I see all over the place is people who care
about looking good while doing evil.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
The Michael Very.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Hue It is amazing to me. It's important that you
understand this. How many politicians give as their opinion, not
what they believe to be true, but what they're grinding
an acts they're angry at someone. Louis Gohmert, for instance,
(07:37):
he was a US congressman from Texas and he ran
for attorney general. They put him up to run against
Ken Paxton, and there was a runoff. He didn't make it.
He came out in fourth place with seventeen percent of
the vote. And here he is repeating the same old
talking points that Ken Paxton is corrupt because of you know, accusations.
(08:01):
He told a lot of lies.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
As his wife now knows, he lied a lot. He's
quite corrupt, quite corrupt. From all the things I know,
I think he's the most corrupt attorney general we've had
in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Bitter, not a good look. Bitter.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
How's he corrupt? Because he charged him with crimes for
which he was found not guilty. Why don't you finish
that sentence? Why don't you say he's just as corrupt
a soul Trump, who had what thirty four felonies? Why
don't you say he's got an egen? Carol out there
like Trump did. Why don't you say big Leticia big Tish,
(08:44):
the Attorney General of New York, accused him, charged him
with mortgage fraud. Turns out she was doing it herself.
Or what about fat Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor in New
York who brought charges against Trump. What about when they
went through his wife's handy George. What about fat Fannie
down in Atlanta and her boyfriend, hot dog Nathan? What
(09:04):
about Jack Smith out of the Department of Justice? What
about all the people they sicked on Trump and all
the felonies they got? Was he corrupt? Louis? Was he corrupt?
Fact is a lot of these politicians have visions of grandeur,
like sugar plums dancing in their heads. They're going to
(09:25):
be great, They're going to be grand, and when they
are defeated, they are bitter. Oh horror, they ever bitter.
Congressman Brandon Gill was on Fox News with Laura Ingram
when he was asked what he knew about Ken Paxton
that the Republican establishment did not when he endorsed him
over John Wayne mccordin, you.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Endorsed Paxton before President Trump came out and endorsed him,
despite the fact that not one sitting Republican senator endorsed him.
What do you know that the GOP establishment didn't at
what age thirty two, all of thirty two that.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
You are, well, what I know is that the people
of Texas are looking for somebody who's going to fight
for them and washing you know, right now, it's not
good enough to say the right things, to say I'm
going to do this, or we should do that. What
the people want, what the Texas GOP voters want is
somebody who's going to do the right thing, who's going
to get to Washington and who's actually going to get
the Save America Act pass, who's not just going to
(10:14):
talk about it, Who's going to do whatever is necessary,
including if that means using a talking filibuster, for somebody
who is going to do what we said we'd do
last cycle, which is mass deportations, not talk about amnesty,
which has been a long history amongst some in our party.
That is not what the people of Texas want. They
want somebody who is going to stand up for conservative
values and do it in a way that gets results.
And that's exactly what Ken Paxton's going to do.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Sean Speiser just the White House Press secretary. He's been
a guest on the show many times. I always say
he's pretty smart when it came to media relations and things.
But he really nailed it. He was on the huddle
when he said, all these people in media who keep
calling Paxton's defeat of cornyin an upset, they don't understand
(10:57):
what happened. Folks. I have said this all along. I
was telling people, Paxton beats Cornyn. How can you say
that the polls showed that corn wins. Poles don't vote,
That's just it. How do movies that have all this
money spent on them flop? Do you know they do tests?
You understand they do tests. They don't just roll out
go hey, let's see I y'all like it. They've been
(11:18):
testing that thing. They've got the best and brightest, the
smartest people to hand you a movie that you will love,
and they get it wrong. And then you got this movie,
The Obsession, that was made for seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. Somehow they got it right. How is it
that the establishment gets it so wrong so many times
(11:41):
because they don't know anybody who drives a truck. They
don't know any textans.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
I'll tell you that I was actually shocked at the
number of media folks that led their broadcast this morning
by saying a huge upset in Texas. We watched the
huddle that wasn't a huge upset that was predicted, and
you know, we talked about the margin of victory. So
I gotta be honest with you, this is an indictment
as far as I'm concerned on any who thought that
was going to be close. That that just tells you
how bad your sources are. This was I think that
(12:05):
Paxson was going to win it regardless. The Trump endorsement
just shows you how powerful it is go down ballot.
By the way, you mentioned this also, Rachel, that schip
Roy the attorney generalize there. He also lost every MAGA
endorsed candidate one last night in Texas. And we keep
seeing this pattern and this is good as gold. When
the President endorses you in a primary, that's worth a
crazy amount and I don't know that you can overcome
it in almost any circumstance. I was growing more and
(12:25):
more strong, which is just fascinating. Here we are any
second term and President Trump's power over the party is growing,
not waning.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Paxson was on Fox News when he said there's some
comedic value to this. I think it's actually true. He
said he doesn't think Tellafrico could win even in California.
Getting campaign views.
Speaker 9 (12:45):
His saying the American flag was a complicated it's a
complicated symbol. Is talking about God being non binary and
pushing men into women's sports.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I mean, the list goes on. And this isn't just
me making this up.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
This is what he actually he said.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
And now he's complaining that I'm quoting him with this,
with his strange, weird comments.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
So California. You know, California was once the most visited state,
the most tourists visited. Businesses were opening up there. You know,
I got to read this. I'll get to it in
the next segment. I saw a uh oh, my goodness.
(13:35):
I saw a stat on where where people are moving,
what states they're moving to. I'll what a maroon.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Told you.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I wanted to share with you about the changes in economics.
I was short on time there. I saw a report
from the Economist, and this is going to blow your mind.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
It is the.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Net change in number of company headquarters from relocations in
only five years from twenty twenty to twenty twenty five,
and they were moving. Three of the five that were
that had the biggest losses were out of California, one
from New York one or in the New York and
(14:29):
then Chicago it's my city, sorry. And three of the
five states they're moving to were Texas and in Arizona
and Tennessee. Net change in company of a number of
company headquarters from relocations five year period twenty twenty twenty
twenty five, Dallas gained almost one hundred. San Francisco lost
(14:53):
actually one hundred. Austin gained about it's on a was
hard to tell about fifty five Austin. Those are high
tech companies moving there. Los Angeles lost about eighty, Houston
gained about twenty five. New York City lost about twenty five.
(15:19):
Phoenix gained about twenty two twenty three. Chicago lost looks
like about ten. San Diego lost about eight. Nashville gained
about twenty three. Three cities Houston, Phoenix, and Nashville gained
(15:41):
not quite twenty twenty five for Houston, let's say twenty
five for three. Let's round them up. Houston, Phoenix in
Nashville all gained about twenty five Three California cities lost
San Diego, La and San Francisco. San Diego because it's
(16:01):
not what it used to be. Los Angeles lost almost
one hundred I saw the other day a picture. It
was the only thing that's been rebuilt after the palis fires,
and it was literally a framed out It was one
framed out wall. It was like a faux wall inn
in a decor store, just so they could hang stuff
on it. They burned that city to the ground, figuratively
(16:24):
and literally, and they won't rebuild. They got a wacko mayor,
Karen Bass. How bad did things have to get that
they would stop voting for a whack chop and they
may steal good crief. San Francisco. I know that when
a lot of people hear San Francisco, they just think
of a bunch of homos. I'm going to taste thatthe
(16:45):
San Francisco is one of the great American cities. It's
a dentity as a gay city. I don't know when
that happened. There was Harvey Milk and all that, but
that was in the seventies. But San Francisco was historically
a great American city. I've quoted many times a line
that I love Tennessee Williams who said there are only
(17:05):
three great American cities, New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans.
Everything else is Cleveland. San Francisco was a great save.
My wife and I used to love to go out
to San Francisco. Our favorite Jewish deli was there. We
go down and eat, go down to Gerard Delly Square.
It was great food, it was an interesting vibe. She's
(17:25):
such a wonderful It's a great architecture. Look at it now,
what's it known for? Now? A TV reporter doing a
story out in the field about the number of smashing
grabs and while they're doing the story, they're van right
there smashing grab people attacked in the middle of a
(17:46):
story about how bad crime is. Liberalism has failed again
and again and again. Eventually, the strong are going to
destroy the week, and the week are going to be
the white liberals. It is suicidal empathy. The only thing
(18:06):
that keeps powerful people from destroying weak people is that
other powerful people will stop in and defeat them. And
it is that threat of power against them. When you
remove that threat and you say no, No, have your
way with these weak white liberals. They will and they have,
(18:27):
and that's where you end up. That's exactly where you
end up. And the left will call that culture wars.
What enforcing the law closing the border. The Houston Chronicles,
quote unquote, business columnist Chris Tomlinson says that Republican voters
have chosen culture war candidates over Chamber of Commerce conservatives. Well,
(18:48):
let me tell you something. The Chamber of Commerce crowd
wanted wide open borders so they could have cheap labor.
The average American was tired of being raped, Layton, robbed, murdered.
So you want to call that culture war, call it
what you want. You're so out of touch, it's embarrassing
(19:11):
for you, or if you had any sense, it would be.
Speaker 10 (19:15):
Republicans are out, culture warriors are in, and political gridlock
is here to stay. Republican primary voters sent a clear
message in the runoff elections. They picked the most extreme
MAGA candidates without regard for expertise. Ken Paxton trounce US
(19:35):
Senator John Cornyn, an old school conservative who cared about governing.
Paxton won by touting his support for President Donald Trump,
including his attempt to overturn the twenty twenty election. MAGA
May's Middleton defeated Chip Roy to win the nomination for
Texas Attorney General. Middleton is a political neo fight, but
(19:58):
he's also the heir to an enormous oil fortune. He
promises to tear down the separation of church and state,
as well as target LGBTQ rights. Then there's Beau French,
another scion of Texas oil money. He won the Republican
nomination to become an energy regulator on the Railroad Commission
(20:18):
by suggesting that we denaturalize and deport one hundred million
US citizens. One thing unites all these candidates a hatred
for people who are not like themselves. While MAGA voters
may find that attractive, most Texans are worried about inflation,
their jobs, and their economic future. Democrats are trying to respond,
(20:43):
and polls show James Tallerico has a chance against Paxton,
but many Texans will never vote for a Democrat. If
Americans want a better economy and government, they will need
to start compromising and voting for candidates who care more
about governing than.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Pop Diamond Forever.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
And so with them.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Michael Berry. Remember that.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Trump was on Fox News with his daughter in law, Laura,
she's married to Eric. When he called Tall Rico a transgender,
that's what he's at.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
They won't change men playing in women's sports. They won't.
You know this transgender, this guy running in Texas. He
says there are six genders. He wears a mask all
the time. You know he's a he's a disaster candidate.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 11 (21:41):
I think Ken Paxson's gonna absolutely just destroy him.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I think that's fair to say.
Speaker 8 (21:49):
So.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
A former Democrat spokesman named exachety Hejosa. The first letter
is an X, and that's like the I think that's
the old Aztec spellings. Those are hard to figure out
how to pronounce, how to pronounce, like jabier can be
ja v I e R, but it can be xav
(22:13):
i e R, in which case the X can be
a ha. But it can be used different ways. The
X can be like an H. So I don't know
if this is so cheaty. This might be so cheaty Hejosa. Anyway,
he's a former Democrat spokesman and he was trying to
(22:34):
defend the Democrat whack job. Wait till you learn more
about this guy in Texas named James Talafrico. He's on
CNN and now we know why. He's a former spokesman.
Speaker 12 (22:48):
He is an eighth generation white Texas male who loves meat.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Okay, so let's unpack that. He's an eighth generation white
male who loves me. So he's real effeminate. So people
are saying he's gay. That's why Trump calls him transgender.
(23:20):
There was a rumor out there that from sixth grade
to ninth grade he dressed as a girl. And you
know there's going to be a lot of rumors between
now and November. If it's true, we'll get verification. I
have no reason to know that it's true yet, but
play that again if you would please.
Speaker 12 (23:40):
He is an eighth generation white Texas male who loves meat.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
So what the Democrats are doing is the Democrats they're
desperately trying to win over voters on identity politics. Except
instead of now saying he's gay, he's black, it's a woman,
it's a transgender. They're trying to win over, if not
(24:11):
white males, in at least white females. Hey, we'll play
identity politics with y'all. Look, we found one who looks
just like you, and they say so, then they start
with he's an eighth generation. First of all, there was
(24:31):
a a congressional primary here where the candidate who was
leading in one very big Trump supported I supported, named
Alex Meeler, was running against an individual who said he
was a fifth generation Texan. Great, wonderful. And I got
(24:51):
into an argument with some friends of mine over this,
and they said, she was born in California, so that's interesting.
Trump was born in New York. How does that matter?
And they started getting really really into American born people
(25:12):
who were not born in Texas. But Democrats have never
been big fans of the who was born in Texas thing.
This is the party of illegal aliens. So for them
to be saying he's an eighth generation, you realize how
(25:34):
far back we're going there. They are rooting him in
the very Texas past that they have called evil so
many times. But what they're doing now, So for all
these years they've said, you, white Texans are devils, and
(25:57):
they keep losing elections, so now they go, we got
us a white Texan vote for him. It's very stealthy.
You gotta give them credit. They're trying to dupe people
who say well, that person's a communist and she's a
(26:18):
black woman. I think I won't vote for well huh, okay,
all right, she's a communist, she's a black woman, and
she tells me I'm a devil and I need to die. Okay,
So we'll get a communist who's a white male. Okay,
he's an eighth generation white Texas male. See what they're
(26:44):
saying is that this is what y'all want to remember,
We're giving it to you. But again with the identity politics,
we don't want to play identity politics. We'll vote for
a black male Wesley huh if he says and does
the right things. We'll vote for a female Alex Meeler
(27:11):
if we like what she stands for. He's an eight
generation white Texas male. What kind of male is that?
What does that mean? My argument on the what generation
you are as? If that's something to make that's great.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with being proud of how
(27:32):
many generations you've been in Texas. But it seems weird
like Davy Crockett came to the Alamo from Tennessee. In fact,
all the major figures, almost all the major figures at
the Alamo were not from Texas, such as Texas was
at that moment, Bowie, Travis Crockett. They came from other places.
(27:59):
Sam Houston came from Tennessee. I've always been kind of
curious when someone, as I said, I want to be clear,
I think it's something to be proud of that you're third, fifth, seventh, whatever,
generation Texan. I think that's cool. I think that's neat.
I'd rag about it too. I don't know what generation am.
(28:20):
I don't I don't. I just don't know because I've
never thought to look it up. I don't know when
our people ever weren't in Texas, but I've never thought,
but there are people especially in Texas. Oh, the seventh
generation Texan. Okay, all right, and what does that? What
does that mean? Well, it's fine that you're rooted in
(28:43):
the place, you're you're committed to it, Okay, great, But
when you're arguing that that is the basis upon which
you're better than the next guy, that's always kind of
creeped me out. But the last thing she says there
is he's an eight generation white Texas who loves me.
He actually came out and said our campaign is vegan
(29:07):
because this is what he does, he picks up the ladies.
And that's what makes him frightening as a potential senator
is whatever's the hot new thing. He'll get caught up
in that. And so since he said he was vegan,
remember we're the state where Oprah Winfrey lost a lawsuit
over attacking the beef industry. She can't show her fat
(29:30):
face in the state of Texas because of it. And
here he comes out, We're gonna be vegan. Hello, I
an eight generation. Wait, taxis maw, We're gonna be vegan.
And now it's so sad, it's like a hostage. He's
holding with a napkin, he's holding a piece of barbecue
and he's eating it. He's like, how I followed Texans.
(29:54):
I'm from I'm wearing at Texas flag shirt. And you
