00:00Governor, Governor, if you saw it in New York, Governor and Kathy Hochul have both talked about the possibility of redistricting there, would you accuse them of also cheating if they do so?
00:11Remember, all bets are off when the cult leader and, you know, would-be dictator of the United States tells Texas to midstream change the game when they know that they're going to lose in 2026.
00:26All bets are off. Everything's got to be on the table.
00:29But how is it cheating in one sense and not cheating in another?
00:34The cheating here is the fact that we are midstream in 2025, and they want to rewrite the map, and for only one reason, the cult leader of their party tells them to do it because he knows he's going to lose control of the House of Representatives.
00:48Attorney General Ken Paxton said Democrats in the Texas House who try and run away like Howard should be found arrested and brought back to the Capitol immediately.
00:55We should use every tool at our disposal to hunt those down who think that they're above the law.
01:01We follow the rules.

01:12We're going to do everything we can to protect every single one of them and make sure that – because we know they're doing the right thing.
01:18We know that they're following the law.
01:20It's Ken Paxton who doesn't follow the law.
01:23It's the leaders of Texas who are attempting not to follow the law.
01:28They're the ones that need to be held accountable.
