Speaker 1 (00:00):
She's in New Mexico. That's where she's saying, at least temporarily,
we've got Democrats on the run. They love to do that.
Texas Democrats love to head out of state whenever they
have something they don't want to have to deal with.
Jared Woodville joins US Conservative Republicans of Texas. You know,
you would think that they'd figure out that they can
only delay this for so long. Jared, the last time
(00:21):
they did it, they didn't. It didn't prevent them from
having to take a vote on redistricting. It just took
longer to get it done.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Well, you're absolutely right, Jimmy. I mean, I remember when
I was party chairman. They ran off to Ardor and Albuquerque,
and ultimately they're going to have to come back and
do their constitutional duties. They're going to have to come
and debate and fight for what they believe in, and
ultimately that body will well actually take a vote. But
running and hiding is not the solution. And that's what
the Democrats have done. They're running and hiding from their
(00:49):
constitutional responsibilities instead of coming down to Austin and doing
their job, debating the issue and voting according to their beliefs,
and that's what we've seen. We've seen that for generations now.
When the Democrats don't get what they want or think
they're going to lose on a major vote, they run
and hide instead of standing and fighting. That's why the
minority party.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well here's the other problem. They generally get their way
on a lot of things in the Texas House at
any at any rate. Not much is happening there in
this special session. In fact, nothing, nothing has moved through
the Texas House during the special session. So same thing.
I think you would like to think that they would
realize that the Governor Abbitt is going to keep them
in special session or just call another special session.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well that's exactly right, Jimmy. Ultimately the governor can keep
calling them back. But you know, that's the problem you
have in the Texas House when the Democrats effectively choose
the speaker. And so the question is what deals have
been cut with the speaker in order to allow him
to continue to maintain that post. But ultimately, I think
Governor Abbot's going to keep calling him back and we're
going to get redistricting done.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Okay, let's ask you a little bit now about the
Shawn Tiers situation. You know, a lot of people make
campaign promises that they can't keep or maybe have no
intention to keep. In the case of the DA's office,
the attrition continues. I mean, let's face it, they don't
make as much working for the DA's office as they
would in the private sector, mainly because these are, you know,
(02:11):
young people coming right out of law school, so once
they get some experience under their belt, they move on
to something else. Is the only way to solve the
problem with the DA's office to is to provide raises
for these people or more money.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, I think you had two problems that Shawn tierre
walked into. First of all, you've got a DA's office
under Kim Ogg that had been highly politicized, going after
conservative activists who had written articles that were positive to conservatives,
individuals who had stirred against stood for voter integrity. So
he's having to deal with that when he came in.
Those particular cases were.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Hang on, do you think do you think Shawn tier
is any less political than Kim Ogg was?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
You know, I haven't seen him, though, go after his
political opponents like doctor Steve Hotsey. That particular case he
looked at it and he said, she overcharged it dropped
the case you look at all Taylor, another conservative journalist,
he looked at that case they had prosecuted him and said, hey,
we're going to have to drop this case. It's been overcharged.
So I do see some good movement in that area.
(03:11):
And so, but secondly, I think a bigger problem is
what you described is what they're getting paid. So where
you're finding a lot of the shortfalls right now or
in the misdemeanor courts. And so the misdemeanor courts of
the lower courts and not the district courts where they
deal with felonies. They're mostly county courts at law. And
so what you need to do is you need to
go into those law schools.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
You need to.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Tout what experience that individual can get by being in
those misdemeanor courts, because what all these young lawyers are
looking for is trial experience. Right now, they go get
out of law school, they want to get in the
court room.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
They want to have that.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Trial experience market themselves, and a lot of them will leave.
They'll go to be criminal defense lawyers, or they'll go
to be big civil law firms and make a whole
lot more money. So that's traditionally been a problem with
the DA's office is keeping good talent, because once an
individual gets that experience, they're much more marketable and have
a lot more opportunities available to them.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
