Speaker 1 (00:04):
And eighty four percent of Americans want the same America.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
But anybody who follows this process closely knows that we
don't have the votes.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
He tried your best, and you failed miserably. The legend
is never tried.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
The proof that you mailed your ballot on or just
before election day.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
It's not just the postmark.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
You can handwrite the date, wow, and that count.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
This is this horrible thing to say that they will
remove twenty five million people off the.

Speaker 6 (00:36):
Roll shall signal storm podcast. As I have informed the

(01:10):
people for many moons. Now, it is the Democrats, socialists,
the leftists, the Marxists, the divisive people among us who
are the racists. The reason it's not necessarily they're racist
folks because they hate something other than them. And by
the way, notice how I'm not saying they hate black people,

(01:31):
they hate Latinos, they hate others as a mechanism of division.
And again, everything boils down. In my opinion, I've said
this over and over and over again, everything boils down
to ideology. So let's just say you have a black conservative,
or you're going to get a white liberal who is

(01:54):
racist against that black. Let's say that you have a
Latino conservative like your liberty love Latino here. Then you're
going to get white leftists and black leftists who display hate.
Let's say that you've got a white conservative, we're gonna
a whole bunch of black communists who who basically are racist,

(02:15):
who think that they are better than the other person,
not by virtue of their of their skin color, necessarily,
even though that's what they will target, it's at bottom,
the real reason is because that person that is that
they are targeting opposes them and their left wing totalitarianism

(02:36):
and ideology. So it is it is something that is
a hallmark of the left winger as a mechanism of division,
keeping us at each other's throats, and they bring a
whole bunch of other people in with them. We don't
know what the game is, and get them focused exclusively
on the skin color, not at what's at bottom, ultimately

(02:57):
defeating this individual because they're conservative and they wish to
remain free. I hope I'm making sense here. Let me
play a SoundBite from James Tallafrek' show. He was on
a show and I don't know who this show is from, Adam,
it's a black commentator or interviewer. And listen This is
what James Tallifrek Show had to say.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
We as human beings have the right to shape our
own destinies, and we do that through the vote. And
so many brave Americans, so many brave Black Americans, have
fought and died for that right.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
And so for.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Politicians in Austin or in Washington, as they're now doing
with this Say Act, they are trying to rob our neighbors.
It's particularly our black neighbors of those God given rights.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
Oh really, first off, only only black people have fought
for the right to vote, folks. I seem to recall
that Americans of every persuasion, black, white, Latino, Asian, doesn't
really matter. They have fought in wars to keep this

(04:01):
vote sacrirecinct, to make sure that Americans and Americans only
are voting and determining the future of our country. It's
called self government, and it doesn't require input from communist
nations like China, or totalitarian nations like Iran or Mother

(04:21):
Russia or anybody else on planet Earth. It's none of
their citizens have a right to tell us as Americans
the future of our country.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Right.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
We have fought all colors, not just blacks, folks, whites, Browns, Asians,
everybody in between. They have fought for that right. And
so James tellfreak show already, as you can see, he's dividing.
He's sitting in front of a black man, and he's
sitting in front of this black man, and he's of
course pandering. That's exactly what he's doing. He's pandering. Of Course,
the black man, who is decidedly left wing, is of

(04:53):
course gobbling this all up, hook line and sinker. So
he's nodding in agreement as James Telleric is telling this
black man that if you insist on free and fair elections,
well that means blacks don't have the ability to vote
in free and fair elections because they can't the blacks

(05:15):
don't have the ability to prove their Americans.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
We as human beings, have the right to shape our
own destinies, and we do that through the vote. And
so many brave Americans, so many brave Black Americans, have
fought and died for that right. And so for politicians
in Austin or in Washington, as they're now doing with this,
say that they are trying to rob our neighbors. It's
particularly our black neighbors. Of those God given rights. So

(05:41):
I have a track record of using every tool in
my toolbox to protect voting rights.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
Ah huh, everyed as human beings, yeah, we as human beings. Whatever,
every tool in his toolbox protecting voting rights. So James Tallerico,
a white man, sits in front of this black guy,
and you know, if we have free and fair elections,
if we have the same America Act, which says that
you will have an ID that shows who you are,

(06:11):
blacks will be robbed the vote because we all know
you blacks can't prove who you are, right, And the
black man says, uh huh, that's right, white guy. Whatever
you say, white guy, And then he says, if we
insist that only Americans are voting in elections and that
you prove that you are a citizen when you register

(06:32):
to vote, then that will disenfranchise blacks because as we
all know, you blacks don't really belong here. You're right,
you're all foreign nationals, according to James tell Afreak Show.
Apparently because James Telefreak Show seems to think that if
we have a requirement that is enforced, not just said,
but enforced, that only Americans will be voting in American elections,

(06:55):
and you must show you are who you say you
are that somehow that's going to stop blacks from voting.
And this black guy sits there and nods in agreement.
You know what, folks, I was reminded of this when
I was talking about this in the radio show, and
I remember this video that went viral because this isn't

(07:17):
the first time that white Marxist and leftists like James
tell Afreak show have said to the black community, you're
all too stupid to get a free state issued ID.
If you ask for people's IDs, well then they're not
going to be able to vote. It's insane. So this
guy went around to black communities and he played these

(07:38):
soundbites from these these leftists, these Marxists, these socialists, white
people who were saying that black people don't have IDs,
that black people aren't smart enough to get IDs. Right.
I think he went to college campuses first and saying
what do you think about voter ID and they're like, oh, no,
that's terrible. That discriminates against blacks because blacks don't have IDs.

(08:00):
It was funny as hell. So he takes these these
comments from this college campus and he goes out, and
he goes into black community and say, hey, check out
all these white, stupid, idiot college students saying you, black
people don't have an ID. And these guys start whipping
out their ideas. Look, I got I got a driver's
license right here. This, This is exactly who I am. Was

(08:20):
it difficult for you to get that? No, I just
went and got my driver's license. I went and got
my ID. It wasn't hard at all. So I think
that this SoundBite tells two stories. First off, you've got
a left wing black guy who is setting the example
of being subservient and kissing the ass of some left

(08:41):
wing lunatic white guy, right, and setting that precedent we
must do what we're told, right. And then you've got
a black guy acquiescing and agreeing with the white guy
who is insulting him to his face. He doesn't even
realize it. You're too stupid to get to get a
state a free state issued ID, and the black guys agreeing. Folks,

(09:05):
we got to push back on this, and we got
to push back on this mightily. I don't know about you.
I'm sick and tired of the racism of democrats. Socialists.
We'll break down some more stories, some more issues with
our buddy Alexander Muse from x Coming up next on
the Salsado Storm podcast. And now a word from our sponsors.

(09:25):
Oh jeez, if I hear another Obamacare commercial telling me
how great it is, I think I'm going to vomit.
In reality, folks are paying out the nose for crappy insurance,
meaning those commercials are just as much bs as Obamacare is.
What if you're under sixty five ineed quality affordable health coverage?
American Medical Plan specializes in under sixty five health insurance
plans that have zero copays at the doctor and no

(09:45):
deductible on all outpatient services, including surgeries. You pick your
doctors and hospitals. There are private plans and roll any time,
and there are thirty to sixty percent less than Obamacare.
If you're paying too much for your own health insurance,
call American Medical Plans. They are the answer to the
cancer that is Obamacare.

Slash Chris elon Us tells X users that they are
the new media, and one of the leaders in that
new media is my next guest, six hundred and eighty
five thousand followers and growing, Alexander Muse on x at
Amuse is the handle. He's also my co host on Wednesdays,
The Third Rail six pm Eastern till eight pm Eastern.
My man, welcome.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Back, good to see you. It's been two weeks. That's
the longest stretch we've gone with doing a show.

Speaker 6 (13:24):
Well you you went on your first vacation, because I
mentioned earlier in the show that that was your first vacation,
unlike the Senate. You you know, you don't go on
vacation every other every other week. And and me, I
had to travel to San Diego for my my Thea's funeral,
So yeah, it was it was two weeks where we
couldn't do the third rail. But we're we're roaring back

(13:47):
this week. We're gonna have a lot to talk about,
So let's let's dive in. The Texas Secretary of State
says he intends to continue to fight, the Republican Party, fight,
the attorney general fight. Well, heretofore, it was Greg Gabbott
who said that we will close the primaries. What is
your take on On his take, he says, it is

(14:08):
best left to the politicians in Austin to decide to
close the primaries or not through a law.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
What do you say, Well, obviously, the real simple answer,
you know, what's actually going on is is that they're
going to continue the fight, and you know in the
state is going to pay.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
You know, the state obviously has free.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Free legal services courtesy of US, and of course the
Republican parties having to fund our end of the fight ourselves.
So it's instead of supporting Ken Paxton using our resources
to to actually, you know, get get our people elected.
We're having to literally pay lawyers to fight our own
state and theoretically run by our own party.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
So it is a it is it is a stupid.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Use of funds, but it's also you know, a fundamental
mistake in terms of we do as a a party,
have a right to decide who is in our party
and we shouldn't have to rely on Gen Wu to
decide what our rules are.

Speaker 6 (15:07):
Right, because it's not going to be just Republicans voting
on on the closed primary issue. It will be Jean Wu,
a communist China sympathizer, and his merry band of leftists
and Marxists. So I don't know on what universe it
makes sense to tell a private organization, which is the

(15:27):
Republican Party, that they must associate with Democrats and if
we want to change that, you must consult Democrats before
you do.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
The Texas legislature has uh, you know, UH tackled the
closed primary issue fourteen times over over a decade, and
they have never been able to pass anything, and so
they are they are unwilling, unable to handle the issue.
And as it as a as a as a legal matter,
they shouldn't be involved in it at all.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
But but let's say that they that they.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
We want want them to be involved for some reason,
they can't do it, and they tried it last session.
What's going to be different this session. What I really
think is happening is is that they're going to try
to pass something that basically hamstrings us and keeps them
in charge of how we run our party, but makes
us feel a little bit better, so they can at

(16:21):
least optically say that we we we now have close primaries.
So I think the I think we must continue the
legal case. We must get to a decision so that
the court can finally decide on this once and for all.
Do private organizations political parties have the right to associate
with whom they choose and to make their own rules.
And that I think is important because that'll be a

(16:42):
durable rule. We don't have to rely on the legislature
and whatever. You know, political wind is blowing at any
any point in time.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
So aside from allowing politicians to decide the manner in
which they will be elected, which is it runs counter
to what it is to be an American right, let's
leave that aside. What's at bottom here is a significant
number of air quote Republicans who know that the only
way they get elected is with Democrat votes because they're moderates,

(17:14):
their squishes, and they betray the conservative planks and platforms,
and they betray the Republican Party. So they're eager to
maintain their status as a quote Republican even though they
are constantly undermining the Republican Party and Conservatives. That's what's
at play. And there's a real world example of what
happens when you close the primaries, and it's in Louisiana. Right.

(17:37):
You've talked about this a lot.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, I mean there are two. There are actually two
great examples of what happens when you close your primary.
Obviously you bring the one up in Louisiana, which is great, Cassidy.
You know, incumbent senators don't lose their their primaries. It
never happens. They just don't. It's i mean, the number
of times that's happened is three. And there's various reasons
that's happened, but ultimately you don't lose, but you certainly.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Don't come in third. And that's what Cassidy did.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
And the only thing that changed between this time and
the last time he ran was that Louisiana closed their
primaries and he got completely demolished by the other Republicans
in the race, both other Republicans in the race. The
other example that we have right here in Texas is
thanks to Jasmine Crockett and James tall Rico, the fact
that they ran and that was a very tight you know,

(18:28):
that was a tightly I mean, there was a lot
of concern about that race, and so that meant that
the Democrats in the state of Texas all had to
get involved to ensure that tall Rico that got that
spot instead of Crockett. So that means that a lot
of Democrats who would normally have voted in the Republican
primaries didn't get to vote in the Republican primaries. And

(18:49):
we see that in the runoff. The numbers were insane
for Paxton's lead over Cornyn, and Cornyn, who outspent him
by an astronomical sum, got completely shellacked. I don't know
the number, what is it, it's over twenty percent loss.
Normally he would have won, and that's because he would
have had the benefit of the Democrat votes and I

(19:12):
think that's exactly why folks in Austin, the Rhinos who
run our party, are concerned because they don't want, you know,
the Paxtons to win. They want to stay in power themselves.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
Right that they want to conduct business the way it's
been conducted, with their lips firmly planted on the nearest
butt cheek of the nearest socialist or Marxists. It's part
and parcel of this continuing tradition in America that, for example, Obamacare, communism,
socialism gets shoved down our throats and there's nothing we

(19:46):
can do about it. Meanwhile, eighty four percent of the
country wants election integrity, and the Republicans say, oh, we
just can't make our Democrat friends angry. So sorry, America,
you lose. It's a continuation of this, this decline that
I am no longer inclined to go with, that is
being facilitated by the uniparty that I and again, I

(20:06):
think if Texas becomes a closed primary state, you're going
to see Republicans who are elected, uh with the conservative
planks of the Republican Party in mind. You're going to
see socialists and Marxists elected with their anti American tradition
in mind.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Let's go to it.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
And it's important to note that the open primary system
is the reason we have James tell Errico. Yes, James
tell Rico was platformed by the Texas speaker, given power,
given vice chair and committees. That gets him television time,
It allows him to get up on the floor and

(20:42):
be able to spout the nonsense that he spouts. It
gives him credibility. And so the only reason that we
have this crazy person running first Senate and and you know,
neck and neck as as it looks like, is because
of our open primary system and the fact that that
means the Democrats get.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
To choose who is the Speaker.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Of Texas and in that case this last term, it
was Burrows and he platformed tell Rico.

Speaker 6 (21:09):
And here we are, well and this is the reason
why I don't want to put the onus or the
ability to decide how elections are conducted with these politicians.
I'm going to play a SoundBite for you. This is
from McKinney Texas. You probably saw it. This is a
man who claims he is from Iran and he escaped

(21:30):
Sharia dominated Iran. Listen to this.

Speaker 7 (21:35):
Hello, my name is Eddie Sa. I'm a Sharia La
survivor from Iran and am here's to tell you this
is a dangerous ideology. You're a long in their country,
every country that is Islamic. Now, it used to be
a Christian country and we were soft Christians and we
allowed these people to come in bring their Sharia law

(21:57):
into their countries and slowly lost solt left and right.
Let me make it very clear to you. Christianity is
a personal relationship with God where it says render on
to Caesars. What is Caesars? Render on to God?

Speaker 2 (22:11):
What is God?

Speaker 7 (22:12):
Islam is Sharia lah dean with Dawa religion and states
which is not even compatible with the American thing. And
when they these people will use takiya to lie to you,
to manipulate you, because whenever Islam is little, they will
lie to you and tell you they come in peace.
This is level one. Level two is what's happening in

(22:34):
UK right now, where you have two tier policing, where
you have like the blasphemy laws, Islamophobia, racism, all this
nonsense that they can talk about. First of all, Islam
is not a race, so anytime you criticize Islam, they
will use the race card. But there's all Every country
has this disgusting ideology inside their country, including my own

(22:57):
country Iran, Russia. Islam Amaphobia is another made up book
because they don't want to criticize their dead cult.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
That's why they will put that.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
That's why they push it in UK in every country
they go to. M one O three is in Canada
right now, they deliberately charge silences and the worst people
that are trapped in its Muslims themselves because they can't
leave that dead cult because they're told if you question
that disgusting book, you're called the kufar and they get

(23:28):
killed over it, just like my friends were apostates in
prison or dead right now in Iran. I'm telling you
this is a bad idea and you're gonna regret not
listening to people like us who lived on the shari allah.

Speaker 6 (23:41):
So that the entire council chamber erupts an applause. He
was one of several opposing the expansion of the Islamic
Center up there in McKinney, Texas, and then that city
council Alex came back and said, just like a lot
of our politicians do nothing, screw up with you. We

(24:02):
don't care what you the people say. They voted seven
to nothing to allow the expansion of that is the
expansion of Sharia law into Texas.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
One of my best friends in high school, he was
from His family was Iranian, he was from Saudi Arabia,
and they were Islamic and the nicest people that you
know I had ever known, and very close to everyone
in the family.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
And I think what it occurred to.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Me is that that I was like, oh, so, Muslims
are great if there's no problem. What I have realized,
and it has taken me many years to get to
this realization, it is that there are some number what
I think they estimate that ten percent of the Islamic
people are this sort of bad islam guys, guys that

(24:54):
we don't like, radicalized Islamic fundamentalist terrorists, whatever however you
want to think of about them. So that means that
ninety percent of the Muslims that we encounter every day
are just normal people that would be probably our friends.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
It's close to twenty it's twenty five to seventy five,
But I get what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Whatever, whatever the number is, it doesn't even matter because
what my point is is that the whole concept of
Sharia allows that crazy ten twenty percent to control the rest,
and so they use Sharia as a form of coercion,
and it is a much more powerful form of coersion
than the mafia was able to use. The mafia simply

(25:32):
used the threat of death. But the Islamic fundamentalists who
use Sharia to control the people use that as as
a tool of coersion, and it is the word of
their God, and so it carries so much more weight.
So people who would otherwise normally assimilate, like my friend

(25:53):
and his family after emigrating here from Saudi Arabia, they assimilated.
They became what I what it would have amount it
as to as Americans. Now, if you cloister yourself into
an Islamic community where where everything is controlled, the school,
the mosque, you're housing, you know, everything about your life

(26:14):
is under this this Sharia control, then you are no
longer free and you become just as dangerous as the
people who are considered the dangerous people. It's the it's
those crazy moms that you keep seeing recording of that
they want to destroy us, and so that is their
ultimate goal, and they will continue to use Sharia as
a way to control those populations and ultimately control us

(26:37):
all as they have in places like Iran. Half the
people in Iran are not Muslim, but they are all
under the control of Sharia.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
And that's exactly what we're welcoming in to the front door, folks.
We're talking to Alexander muse at a Muse on X.
He is one of the biggest influencers on X. If
you look at his posts, they are elegant, they are beautiful.
He is my co host on the Third Rail six
pm on Wednesdays until eight o'clock. Usually we run a
little bit shy of that, and I want to get

(27:09):
to this this week's visit here after I talk about
Piker Hassan. There's been a resurfaced and this is goes
right into our the welcoming of Texas politicians of Sharia
law and Islamic domination into the into our cities and
into our into our counties. Piker Hassan, he's campaigning with leftists,

(27:30):
as you know, all over the country and they're and
they're winning. And on the Democrat side, these socialists and
these Marxists and the Red Green Alliance, the jihadists teaming
up with the communists, and he said back in twenty
eighteen that their goal is to replace you white people,
that their goal is to blank your sisters and your

(27:53):
daughters and to wipe out the white race. Now his
followers say he was only Joe King, He was only
making fun of those who have taken the Democrats and
the Socialists and the Marxists of their word at their
replacement agenda. But he said it, what do you say
to guys like Piker Hassan and the rise of his

(28:17):
influence and others like him, these anti American kooks, freaks
and nuts in the Democrat Party, the very Democrat Party
that the Texas Secretary of State wants to continue to
allow to select Republicans.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
I mean hasan Piker you know, obviously Turkish born Muslim Marxist.
You know, there is a definite trend in the DSA
to embrace this whole concept of Islamic Marxism. So it's
this idea that you use Marxism to destroy the West.

(28:50):
It's the way you collapse capitalism, You undermine the republic,
and that allows for Islam to come in and take control.
And so the the Socialists are being co opted by
the Islamists and and all of them are attempting to
destroy us. So we've got this insane party, uh, the

(29:10):
d s A, the Democrat Socialist of America that is
infiltrated by both sides of the craziest coins in the world.
And Hassan Piker is the loudest, uh you know advocate
that they've got literally insane. And he's you know, he
dresses like Mao because his that's who his you know,
he's that's his biggest hero in the world. And he

(29:32):
he supports the genocide of the white race. And he
has said it repeatedly, and you know the latest that
that old recording was was pretty famous at the time.
He basically wanted to send Islamic men into college towns
to rape white co eds so that they would have

(29:53):
uh Islamic babies.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Right.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
And when you do that, when you when you when
you when you go in and you rape your enemy,
it is a form of genocide. It's what they've been
doing in Africa for hundreds of years and Europe.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
And now Europe. So you and I were supposed to
have a conversation with Senator Mike Lee on the third
rail tomorrow and that kind of fell through, but it
was a focus and this is where I wanted to
basically put a bring this discussion to a crescendo. Is
the ineffectiveness of the Republican Party in the face of

(30:30):
overwhelming danger posed by the Socialist Democrat Party. It is
very troubling and it is it is typified by what
we've been seeing out of the United States Senate. I
did a breakdown yesterday and I'm going to update the numbers.
You probably saw it on my ex post, but there

(30:50):
have been one hundred and fifty three work days in
twenty twenty six. Thus far, of those one hundred and
fifty three work days, forty eight the State Senate has
spent on vacation. That's thirty one percent. Most Americans only
get seven percent of their of their workdays off in
a calendar year, two to three weeks if you're if

(31:12):
you're lucky. So the overall in effectiveness of the Republican Party,
the overall surrender of the Republican Party, surrendering to the
corruption that they have all colluded with Democrats to to
promulgate and to make part of our system. I think
it's all part in parcel. How are you processing it
on your X page at amuse how are you handling

(31:34):
all that?

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Well, yeah, I really appreciate Center League kind of keeping
me kind of in the loop is to you know,
what has been going on, and and it's it's really
disappointing to hear kind of how the sausage is made
or in this case not made in the Senate and
particularly in our of the of the live stream. Is

(31:59):
that you who should we be more angry at Should
we be more angry at the Democrats who are blocking
all the things that we want to do, or we
should be angry at our own team who isn't doing
what is necessary to get the job done. You know,
this vacation was was an unforced error. Obviously, Dune and
his team they all wanted to go on vacation because
they want to run, you know, everybody they want to

(32:21):
you know, be involved in running for office. And they
don't think that, you know, they don't think that they
want to do well, they don't. They're not they're unwilling
to do what is necessary to pass the Save Act.
And as a result, they said, we might as well
be doing something useful, like at least getting a tan
and and that's the that's their opinion.

Speaker 6 (32:37):
Well wait a minute, they've got another one scheduled in October,
so they can go home and you know, politic and
I'm and and run for office. And my question is
what are you going to run on? Because they John
fun is anything is a lot of things. But he's
not stupid, and neither are these twenty three fake Republicans
who support him. They're gonna show up in their districts
and they're gonna they're gonna campaign on what big beautiful

(32:58):
bills something to do over a year and a half
a half ago. And by the time they get home
in October, it'll be almost two years since the big
beautiful bill passed, and they're going to say, what, you've
done nothing since? Because the and you and I have
seen this in Texas, right, it's the run the clock
out agenda. Run the clock out in America first, and
in this case, when it comes to election integrity, John Foon,

(33:21):
twenty three fake Republicans in the entirety of the Democrat
Party are on purpose, in my estimation, running out the
clock on the United States.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
And you say, yeah, I mean, clearly, that's exactly exactly
what's going on. Unfortunately, you know, I appreciate Rick Scott
and Mike Lee or really the only two, you know,
men in that chamber who are standing up for us
and continuing to fight for us. Everyone else who said

(33:50):
that they wouldn't go home or they wanted to stay.
The twenty or so Republican senators who said they wanted
to stay ultimately caved and and would no longer support
the proposition of staying in in Washington. And then they
were threatened and coerced, and and you know, they were
told that if they if they didn't get to go

(34:12):
home for vacation, they would lose in the midterms. And
and just as you point out, what are you going
to run on?

Speaker 2 (34:20):
And you know, you have.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Lost a lot of support from Republicans. And I am
going to vote for all of the Republicans who are running.
So I'm not, you know, black pilling, but I think
you are going to to convince a lot of folks
to stay home if if you don't do anything when
you get power. We have given the Republican Party the presidency,
the House, the Senate, and the majority of states, and

(34:47):
yet we still can't get the most basic things done. Like,
I just want to know that everyone who's voting in
the elections that I participate in is also permitted to
do so because they're a citizen.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
It is not a controvert.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Seal topic shouldn't and the fact that we can't pass
it is annoying as hell now and we do all
this performative crap. So Senator John Houston, maybe he had
good intentions, but you know, he basically puts together this
really stripped down photo ID bill that is pointless, and
he gets fifty two votes, and of course it fails

(35:20):
because they're the way they've chose to run that is
through you know, the zombie filibuster rules, so that the
Democrats can basically block anything with fewer than sixty votes.
And that's a choice, not a rule, and that's just
what they have decided to do. So why have a
vote if you know it will fail?

Speaker 6 (35:39):
Well, wait a minute, it's even worse than that. It's
even worse than that because John Thune gets up there
and says, why don't we make this an issue, Why
don't we blame democrats? Even though it is not the Democrat.
The Democrats were never going to support election integrity. Why
because that's how they're quote winning elections. And John Thune

(36:00):
thinks the American people are so stupid that we don't
know that. There has been no Democrat who has expressed
any desire to have election integrity in this country, not zero.
So it would fall exclusively on the Republicans who are
put in the majority. John Thune knows that, And if
he was as committed to saving this country as the

(36:21):
Democrats aren't destroying this country, then a vote would have
taken place. He would have put the Save America Act
with a traditional founding father's filibuster on the docket right
after the Big Beautiful Bill, and he would have pledged
to stay on it until it passed. He had every ability,
every right, every power to do that. He chose not to.

(36:41):
In fact, he said farm bill was more important. He
said Elizabeth Warren's housing bill more important. He said the
Highway bill was more important than voting integrity. It was
all gaslighting, It was all a lie, because really, what
the twenty three fake Republicans twenty four of you include Thuney,
what they really wanted is the Democrats' ability to continue

(37:03):
to cheat at the ballot box. That's what they want,
and we know that because of their actions, and in
this case they're in action.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Where am I wrong?

Speaker 6 (37:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (37:12):
And we know, I mean, thank god that we have
Harmate Dillon in as the head of the Civil Rights
Division at the DOJ. You know, she, you know, has
been trying to get the voter rolls from thirty Democrat
controlled states for two years now and we still can't
get them. And every single time we go to court,
the Democrat judge in the in the case locks the

(37:38):
DJ from getting the voter rolls from each state. We've
I think we've been in thirteen cases, fourteen cases so far,
every single one of them we've been blocked. Now they're
still ongoing. We're still fighting, but we can't get that.
And I think that the reason we found we have
this rash of states that you know came forward and said, oh, yes,
well we do have illegals. Thousands and thousands of illegals

(37:59):
registered to vote. Yes, hundreds and hundreds of them are
voting the only reason that those states are coming forward
and admitting that is because Harmey sent them all letters saying, hey,
if you aren't going to give us your roles, and
we ultimately find out that you have illegals on those roles.
We are going to prosecute you individually, Mister Secretary of State,
mister Attorney General, We're going to prosecute you, and you

(38:22):
know you will face justice. And so suddenly everyone's you know,
go find out if we have any illegals on there,
give them something, you know, make it look like we
try to do something.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
But the sad news is she's.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Hamstrung by the court. Now first American legal I guess
Tom Fitten's organization. You know, God, God blessed those those folks.

Speaker 6 (38:39):
Judicial you know, they're God for judicial want.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Doing in every single state, and like, for instance, in Oregon,
Oregon just entered into a consent decree where they agreed
to remove eight hundred thousand ineligible voters and they call
them ineligible voters from their voter rules, and that represents
a huge percentage of the state's voter rules. So Crits want,
and I guess Republicans in some cases, yes, want a

(39:04):
lot of ballots floating in the ether. And that what
happens is if there's a lot of ballots hundreds of thousands,
or in the case of California, millions of ballots that
just sit around that creates all this opportunity, uh to
harvest those ballots and and put those votes in. And
James O'Keefe, for his credit, has gone under cover and

(39:25):
must open a ballot for cash ring you know in Michigan,
pay you eight dollars per ballot you bring in.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
Yeah, and Michigan they had they had Iranians who admitted
that they were voting. They were registered to vote, and
they were voting. Illegal alien Iranians or foreign national Iranians
that were ineligible for the vote, they were voting. And
he got them on camera admitting they were all voting.
And you know what, and to your point, and I
and we gotta we got to wrap it up here. Uh,
to your point, there are Republicans who want to continue

(39:56):
to have this ability to cheat and reg elections. One
of them happens to be the second Coutaria state of Texas,
which is incredibly sad. His name is Alexander Muse. Folks
at a Meuse on x He as my co host
and the Third Rail six pm to eight pm Eastern.
Tell folks what's coming up on your platform today and
uh and and what we can look forward to.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
Well, I'm talking about the ice breaker shipbuilding program that
Trump is kind of pushing here in America.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
So we are we are.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
About to re industrialize the shipbuilding business in Texas.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Will be the.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Largest shipbuilder, one of the largest shipbuilders in the world
when we're all said and done. Basically, we're taking the
the expertise of a finish and bringing it here to
Texas and we are going to be making basically the
world's most advanced ice breakers.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
And we're doing that because of.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
The threat that obviously Russia poses and they are build
up in the Arctic, but also China's build up in
the Arctic, so we are facing two.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Great threats.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
And Trump knows that this is important, which is a
lot of the reason around his conversations, you know about
Greenland and so on. But the icebreakers are kind of
the tip of the spear, and they do two things.
They keep us safe and they also, you know, reindustrialize America.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
That's bringing twenty four hundred.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Jobs to the the Gulf Coast here in Texas. So anyway,
I'm gonna be talking more about that.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Can't wait.

Speaker 6 (41:22):
Man, join us this Wednesday, folks for the third rail. Well, well,
we're gonna try to find we're gonna it's gonna be
hard to find a substitute for Senator Mark as Senator
Mike Lee. Maybe he might change his mind, maybe his
schedule my free up. Maybe he might come on after all.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Oh yes, and that was my fault because I talked
to him about it and he was absolutely and then
he goes, but this.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Week doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Oh okay, well can we do so it looks like, well,
just I think we're gonna try to get him on
next week.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
So well, one way or the other, we'll get him on.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
We're gonna get him and talking some about stuff he's
you know, obviously it's he's on vacation. Like all of
the centers, they gotta go. You gotta get some VACA
time in.

Speaker 6 (41:58):
All right, buddy, thank you very much, much appreciate the time.
As always theaters and we'll call that there a wrap
here on the Salsado Storm Podcast till we visit again,
my friends, remember, pick up the book The Rise of
the Liberty Loving Latino, a New American Revolution. You can
pick it up on Amazon and hard copy and an
audiobook form. You know, I've actually beginning some compliments on
the audiobook form. A lot of folks saying it's it's

(42:19):
easier for them in their schedule. It's kind of like
listening talk radio. The only complaint I get is that
it's it's kind of over faster than if you're actually
reading it and flipping the pages. But I mean that's
just what happens. I think it's a little over six
hours of talk time. And also remember this, folks. A
society's worth is not measured by how much powers stolen

(42:40):
by an out of control government. A society's worth is
measured by how much power is reserved for you and me.
We the people, keep fighting a safer country, my friends,
because it's worth it.
