Brian Harrison - Texas State Representative Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The runaway Democrats are all in Illinois with Governor J. B.
Pritzker seven p. Fifty two. Now here in Houston's warning
news the governor, Governor Abbott has issued an ultimatum be
back in Austin by three this afternoon. Our face expulsion
from the Texas House. Texas State Representative Brian Harrison joins us,
do you think the governor is willing to make good

(00:20):
on that threat?

Speaker 2 (00:22):
You know, I don't know. We'll see.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
I mean, look, this is definitely more action than we
saw out of the governor with previous quorum breaks. So
that's progress. But here's the brass tax cold reality of this.
This is an abject failure of elected Republican leadership in
the state of Texas. If the Republican leadership of this
state wanted to prevent this quorm break, we had all

(00:44):
the tools.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Available to us. They didn't spring this on us. This
was not a surprise. They've been telegraphing this for many weeks.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
But instead of punishing the Democrats, okay, after they threatened
the quorm break, our liberal Rhino speaker put them on
the redistricting committee.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
But you got to ask yourself, why did he do this?
Why did he let them leave?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well, don't forget it was these exact same Democrats that
are partying with Governor Prince Gerne Illinois right now, spitting
in the face of President Trump and Republicans across the country.
These are the Democrats that elected the Speaker of the
Texas House. Dustin Burroughs, was the Democrat choice for speaker.
And here is the facts. Wednesday, afternoons, just a couple
of days ago. We had a quorum, we had the maps,

(01:30):
we had the Democrats, we had everything we needed to
seal this deal, maintain a quorum. But what did our
liberal speaker do. He adjourned the House after only seven minutes.
And why Well, because Hakim Jeffries was flying down from
DC and he adjourned the House to let the Democrats
go meet with Hakim Jeffries, the leader of the Democrats

(01:52):
in the US Congress, in the Capitol in Austin Wednesday night,
where they could scheme and strategize and plan this before
solid days.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
This is an.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Abject failure of Texas Republican leadership. If we had bold
Republican leadership in the state of Texas, the kind of
Republican leadership that Texas voters demand and that they deserve.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
This never would have happened to them.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Well, they could have at very at least called it
in the state troopers and blocked the doors. You're not
leaving them, correct.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's called a call of the House.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
And the fact that the Speaker did not do the
call of the House yesterday is proof positive that the
leadership Republicans so called, of the Texas House is completely
and fully complicit in what the Democrats are doing. Because
when we had a kor on Wednesday, the doors could
have been locked and we could have maintained korum until
the redistricting was done. Business was a Democrat coorn break

(02:45):
with the assistance of Republican To.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Me, the dumbest thing about this, though Representative Harrison, is this,
this is all going to end up in court anyway,
So why not just go ahead get this overWe then
let it get it fought out in court. That's where
it's gonna end up.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Well, correct, I mean, ultimately I do believe we'll prevailed,
but we got a lot of.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Bad theater we're gonna have to endure along the way.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Like I fully expect a lot of terrible kabuki theater
from house quote unquote leadership.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Oh day, where I bet they're going to a bunch
of racist chairmanships.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Democrats, democrats are all seeing a bunch of racists in Austin.
This is all about race, That's all this is about.
This is about going back to the old South. This
is about drawing up lines from fifty years ago. You
hear the rhetoric, the speaking.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
You can't make this up. Dustin Burroughs, our Rhino speaker
made it.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
A Democrat, the Speaker pro Tem of the Texas House,
and the Speaker pro Tem of the Texas House in
the hearing just two days ago, said that Texas is
more racist in twenty twenty five than we were two
hundred years ago.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
You can't make this up.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
But these are the people, these radical leftist extremists, socialist
democrat progressives, these are the people that have been put
in charge of the Texas House of Report and empower
to control legislation, kill Republican priorities like election integrity, et
cetera for years decades now.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
All right, sir, I got date of Texas.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
We've got to come to terms with what time it
is in America and start delivering with bold actions like
Texans deserve.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Amen. Brother got to run, but thank you as always
do appreciate your time. Next Texas State Representative Brian Harrison,
you all have a great day. We'll see you tomorrow morning,
bright in early five
