Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, in two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Marines.
Is today we have a I call them a former marine.
You're never Aaron Wright, You're never really a former marine. Right,
Once a marine, you're always a marine, that's right. Yeah,
Once a marine, always a marine. And now you would
like to be Texas Attorney General. Man, that's a crowded
field to get into. What makes you want to run
for attorney general?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Well?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Look, I mean, I think it's great that we are
formally filing for my candidacy on the two hundred and
fiftieth birthday of the United States Marine Corps. Because when
the stakes are high and when the fight is hot,
our country sends in the Marines.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
That's what we do. Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
We are the United States lethal fighting edge, the tip
of the spear. And the reason why I'm running for
Texas Attorney General is because we are in an existential
conflict with the forces of the left, and I know
from personal experience that the primary arena in which we're
fighting these dark forces is the justice system. We need
battle tested, battle hardened marines who have proven themselves gating, investigating, suing, defending,
(01:02):
and appealing on all the major issues that determine really
the future of our country and the state of Texas.
And I'm the only one in this crowded field who's
been in legal combat for years and years, fighting against
and winning against the left in court and throughout the
justice system. That's why I'm running.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
You know, It's one thing to have to fight against
the federal government when the federal government is being run
by the left. Right right now, it's a little bit
easier thanks for having the Trump administration there. But as
we get more and more people moving here from California
and maybe from New York now that they've decided they're
going to go communists with their next mayor, it might
get a little bit tougher here too, right.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
For sure, Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Look, I was Attorney General Ken Paxson's deputy for three
years fighting against the Biden administration. Packson has endorsed me
to succeed him as the next Attorney General of Texas,
and that's because of my record suing the Biden administration.
In fact, I sued the forty six president forty six times,
and I won eighty.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Five percent of those cases.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Now, you're right, though, Jimmy, we've got an ally in
the White House. In fact, I just came from the
presidentially appointed Senate confirmed role as the head of the
Office of Legal Policy in Trump's Justice Department. And so
there's no greater friend as the next age of Texas
who can partner with the Trump administration, with the Justice Department,
with the Department of Homeland Security to bring those benefits,
(02:22):
resources and focus to benefit Texas as a whole.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
But you're also exactly right.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
We've got these deep blue pockets in Texas, the big
blue cities, the big blue counties in particular where a
lot of your listeners are at here in Harris County
and in the City of Houston. There is so much fraud, waste, abuse, criminality,
just absolute chaos and corruption that's happening. And the Attorney
General is going to play a critical role in smoking
(02:49):
out that corruption, holding corrupt public officials responsible, and ensuring
that our big blue pockets in Texas, which you're getting
bluer and bluer by the day for the same reasons
as you just said, we need a Chief Legal Officer
of Texas who's going to come bring the heat.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
To these guys.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
And there's nobody better that's able to do that than me.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Heck, fighting corruption in Harris County is a full time
job in and of itself. Yeah, we've only got a
few seconds left. But as we mentioned, it as a
crowded field, and you have some people like Chip Roy
with name recognition, so obviously coming out of our program
and other programs to get attention is a good idea.
What are the things can you do to try to
make inroads when you're running against relatively big names.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, I think the only big name in this race
really is Chip Roy. There are other two locals who
folks in the Harris County area may know, but really
their campaigns are floundering and they're not running credible campaigns.
The issue here is who is best qualified to serve
as the next chief legal officer of Texas, and my
record litigating, investigating, suing, defending and appealing on all the
major issues puts me head and shoulders above the competition.
(03:53):
And even if I were to grant that Chip Roy
has higher name ID, which of course he does, he's
been in Congress blasting the President, black asking MAGA voters,
trying to get Ken Packson removed from office.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
His high name ID. The flip side of that coin is.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
He's got catastrophically bad negatives. He called for President Trump
to be impeached. In January twenty twenty one, he sided
with Mike Pence to certify the stolen election of twenty twenty.
He was the first elected official in the United States
to call for Ken Paxson to be removed from office.
This is somebody who is too unstable, an eagle maniapal
to be trusted as the next Attorney General of Texas.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And I guarantee you that President.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Trump will not be happy when if he's elected as
the AG because of how many times he's backstabbed the
President's supporters as well as President Trump. If Texans want
what President Trump called me a true maga attorney, vote
for Aaron Wrights for Attorney General. Aaronrights dot com re ei.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Tz, we got it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
We got to run. Thank you, Aaron, appreciate it. Theo's

Wilby as of today. You'll have a great day. We'll
see tomorrow morning, right and early five

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
