Pattiday presents in the red corner the undisputed, undefeated weed whacker guy,
champion of hurling grass and pollen everywhere.
And in the blue corner, the challenger, extra strength, Pattiday, eye drops that work all day to prevent the release of histamines that cause itchy, allergy eyes.
And the winner by knockout is Pattiday!
Pattiday, bring it on.
I'm so grateful that you're here and that you're running against Dan Crenshaw.
I don't, just to be clear, I don't think Dan Crenshaw
is the worst person in the world or anything like that.
I feel sorry for Dan Crenshaw.
He's clearly a very troubled guy.
But it just does seem like the Republican Party shouldn't have to have a Dan Crenshaw in it.
And I think you're going to beat Dan Crenshaw.
And I just, I just want to say thank you for doing that.
I'm honored to be here with you.
I really am.
So
I've been jealous of you because my wife loves you so much.
So you rep you're in the Texas House.
You represent an area that overlaps with Crenshaw's district, obviously.
You live there.
It's one of the most conservative districts in Texas, I think.
Oh, yeah.
Montgomery County is absolutely the reddest of red counties.
Yes.
Tarrant County is bigger, but it's purple.
We're the biggest red county left in Texas, and 100% of my district is inside Congressional District 2.
So that would mean it's probably the biggest by population red county in the United States.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Once we lost Harris County to voter fraud, fraud.
Yes.
So how does that, the biggest, I'm just kind of guessing, one of the biggest Republican counties in the United States get Dan Crenshaw as a member of Congress?
Like, how does that happen?
So
this is Mayacopa.
Is that how you say it?
Myacopa, yeah.
You're admitting fault.
In 2018, when Dan Crenshaw came around, it was kind of a man crush for me.
Yeah.
Yeah, Navy SEAL, war hero.
Yeah.
And I only knew one person.
There were like eight people in that race.
And there was only one person that was kind of emerging as the person that was going to win.
And he was kind of a rhino.
He was, he was very weak.
And this guy comes along that says, look, I'm going to bend the Apple cart.
I'm going to be a disruptive influence.
I am going to absolutely stand against the swamp, or as Ted Cruz called it, the Washington cartel.
I'm going to stop it.
I'm going to fight it.
And so we got behind him.
And damn, I would have voted for him too if you said that.
So
I encouraged our local Tea Party to mail into the district to spend money into the district and help them raise money to
move mountains to get Dan Crenshaw elected.
So I feel a sense of responsibility for this major screw-up because no sooner did he get there than he became part of the problem.
Oh, he became a leader of the problem.
And I have to say, what year was that?
2018.
I'm sure he has official opinions on issues related to Texas or the United States, but it's also very obvious obvious to me watching him carefully that his real interests, all his main interests are outside this country.
So it doesn't seem like his agenda really has anything to do with America.
It's self-interest more than anything.
You see this revolving door on the part of people in Congress that line themselves up for lobbying positions as soon as they leave Congress.
And so in order to get those kind of cushy jobs, you've got to do the lobby's bidding upfront, early on.
He's a young guy, right?
Yeah.
And
he's not the kind of person that's going to be there for 20 or 30 years.
He is the kind of person, though, that's going to line himself up for a cushy lobbying position once he gets out.
And so you've got to go along.
You cannot, you cannot ruffle feathers, especially, you can't go against leadership and you can't go against the lobby.
Well, not only does he not go against the lobby, I mean, his campaigns are the most, we pulled the numbers, the most recent
one that I saw suggested that his two biggest donors are
giving him money because of his foreign policy views.
One is a foreign lobby, I think is his biggest donor, one of them, literally a foreign lobby, and the other is a hedge fund guy called Clifford Asnes, who's,
you know, I would say one of the sleazier people in American business.
There's that, but also is not paying Den Crenshaw for anything related to the United States.
This only has to do with influencing his vote on questions pertaining to other countries.
I mean, it's the opposite of America.
First, it's America last.
Yeah.
It's been my greatest heartburn is
his total disregard for the border and what we've been dealing with at the Texas border, and yet his obsession with Ukraine's border.
Yes.
What is that?
I mean, I can't get my arms around it.
So
three years ago, we went down to the border and
pretty much all of the Texas delegation was there.
Mike Johnson came from Alabama or from Louisiana.
The southern state congressional members came down to be with us, and we interviewed ICE agents.
We interviewed U.S.
Border Patrol.
We interviewed U.S.
Border Patrol Union.
We interviewed ranchers.
The only person from the congressional delegation that was not there, Dan Crenshaw.
It's like, why don't you want to know about what's going on down here?
This is not about working with the Mexican government.
This is about
boots on the ground,
right down on the border, understanding what we're dealing with down here.
So you understand firsthand what's really, truly going on.
Because he has no clue what's really going on.
But you're in Houston.
I mean, it's not that far.
Houston has been completely, I have family there, and I, so I go completely transformed by illegal immigration.
Completely, it's unrecognizable, and it hasn't gotten better.
It's gotten much worse.
That's my read as a visitor.
But how could he ignore that?
58% of the births in Texas are Medicaid births.
58%.
58%.
So think about this a second, Tucker.
20 years ago, Medicaid was 3% of the Texas budget.
Now it's the number two driver of the budget.
And it's due in large part to illegal immigration.
People come across the border, have their babies.
Sometimes they go back.
Sometimes they don't.
So that's like collapse.
I mean, that's not sustainable.
Not even in the short term is that sustainable.
Good-hearted people
want to say, well, we should do this.
And to which I say, I think God would say, we should do it.
We should do it.
Not the government.
Exactly.
We should do it.
The church.
You don't care so much.
Use your own money.
The church should do it.
We used to go down to the Mexican border.
I mean, to the border towns in northern Mexico and build churches.
We would build schools.
We would build homes.
We'd go down there and do medical missions work.
We can't go down there anymore because Mexico, for all intents and purposes, is a failed state.
I mean, it really truly is.
It's a failed state.
And so you can't go down there anymore.
And so people say, well, we can't go down there anymore.
Therefore, the United States government needs to bail this all out.
No, it's it
we're we are destroying our children and grandchildren's ability to have any kind of future whatsoever.
We're we're drilling holes in the bottom of the lifeboat.
I mean, Crenshaw doesn't know this.
I mean, his constituents, I know, are upset about it because I know a lot of them.
Tucker, he came to a town hall meeting
three years ago when the Senate bipartisan, which anytime you hear a Senate bipartisan border bill, run,
run fast, right?
Democrats are not looking for any kind of solution on the border.
Democrats are not looking to close the border.
They created this.
They completely created this.
And so they have this wack-adoodle bill that allows 5,000 people into the country a day,
1.8 million a year.
And if you look at the bones of the bill, yes, the bones of the bill say it did call for more ICE agents,
but it wasn't to close the border, Tucker.
It was to process people coming into the country.
So all it did was it just streamlined their ability to come into the country and be lost into the system.
Okay, show up for your court date.
in a year and a half, two years, which they don't show up for.
They're gone.
They're lost into the fabric of the the nation.
And, you know, they're a drain on our schools.
They're a drain on our infrastructure.
They're a drain, really a huge drain on our criminal, uh, criminal justice system in Texas and across the United States.
It's killing us.
Well, they also make it impossible to have a cohesive country.
I mean, if a huge percentage of the population just got here, then what is it to be American?
No one is pausing to ask that question.
And when there is a financial downturn or a national disaster or we're tested as a nation, how do we hold together?
Yeah, 20 years ago, a friend of mine that grew up in Toronto said, the great thing about America is that you're a melting pot, where Canada is more like a quilt and we're tearing apart at its seams.
Yes.
Y'all have a common language.
Did I just say y'all?
Yes, I did.
It's okay.
You have a common language.
We don't have a common language in Canada.
We have French and we have English.
And in America now, we have English and we have Spanish.
And we are becoming a quilt that is
tearing apart at the seams.
Yes.
And do you feel that where you live?
Oh, terribly.
Yeah.
Terribly.
You see it, especially see it in the classroom right now.
We keep hearing the left say we're losing teachers in public education because they're not being paid enough money.
Well, it's not what the polling is telling us.
I sat down with the Texas Classroom Teachers Association in 2019, and I said,
quality of life, violence in the classroom, teacher pay, what's the most important issue?
Quality of life and violence in the classroom.
Violence in the classroom.
Violence in the classroom.
Teachers are being assaulted like you have never seen before.
I mean,
there is one school in the state of Texas.
And I think it was on TikTok, 72 assaults, or I'm sorry, 72 fights that were recorded.
So that's basically two fights a week in the school that were recorded and that were on TikTok.
And those are just the ones that they've caught.
And you see this in classroom after classroom after classroom.
So you're bring, you bring children together that can't speak the language.
And then you
poison them with critical race theory to tell them that the children of color are oppressed and the white kids are oppressors.
What could go wrong, right?
I mean, it's just.
You've got a lot of attacks on whites as a result of that.
You have.
A lot lot of race hate.
And a lot of attacks on white teachers
as well.
And
again, a lot of this, it stems from what we've done with the border and our unwillingness to close the border.
This is not about understanding, better understanding what's going on in Mexico.
Mexico is a failed state, and we've got to treat it like a failed state.
We've got to close the border.
Where do you keep your most valuable possessions?
Not your necktie or a pair of socks, but things you wouldn't want to replace or maybe couldn't.
Heirlooms from your parents, your birth certificate, your firearms, your grandfather's shotgun.
Where do you store those?
Under the bed?
In the back of a closet?
That's unwise and maybe unsafe.
Liberty Safe is the place to store them.

And yet, Crenshaw, every time I've seen him speak,
it's about Ukraine's sacred borders, its territorial integrity, standing up for democracy, fighting Putin-Hitler or whatever.
What is that?
Why the emphasis?
I mean, I think it's fair to have views on all kinds of foreign questions, but in his case, it's so much the center of his focus.
Why?
You know, and I get that you can go from
Trump was,
you know,
Russia went into Crimea, right?
Under, under Barack Obama in his silly line in the sand.
And Trump came in and where Obama had given them blankets and band-aids.
Trump came in and gave them, you know, anti-tank missiles and he gave them serious weaponry
to stall stall the Russians.
And then Biden comes in and does the exact opposite, right?
But starts talking tough.
And so I guess I can get initially saying, okay, I want to get back to doing what Trump did.
But the obsession that
he displayed in the midst of it was sickening, was absolutely sickening, especially, again, when you call into account the fact that we have an open border in the South, and he was doing nothing to help us.
In fact, when the Senate deal came about, he held a town hall for elected officials in our district.
And I put my hand up and I said, Dan, you're allowing 5,000 people into the country a day.
And he, he just absolutely was totally pissed, really, that I was bringing this up.
And I'm not the only one.
Senator Creighton also was like, we cannot do this.
And he said, you guys should be absolutely thankful that we're doing something now to close the border because you can't do it.
I'm like, we have done it.
We just need you guys to stay the hell out of the way.
We could close, Texas on its own could close the border.
We just need you to keep out of our business.
If you're not going to help us, get out of the way.
And he was just emphatic that we couldn't do it.
We needed to pass this legislation.
Meanwhile, Trump was saying, you don't need any legislation.
You just need to close the border.
You just need to show some stones, some backbone, and close the border.
And it's national.
Wait, you don't have a national guard in Texas?
I never understood that.
But I'm interested in his reaction.
I've seen this with him a lot, and it suggests that there's something.
I think he's mentally ill.
I'm just going to say that.
I'm not saying that as an attack.
I'm saying that with sympathy.
There's something really wrong with him.
I think he was damaged by his service.
I think it's partly our fault as a country for sending these guys into these horrible positions and then not helping them when they come home.
I know that you help run Mighty Oaks, which is a group dedicated to
helping servicemen when they come back so they don't kill themselves.
So I know you spend a lot of time on this.
So so i don't want to attack him too much personally because i want to be compassionate but boy i've never seen any elected official respond to criticism the way he does i mean it's like anyone who asks him a question it's like you're evil i i saw him recently say if you don't agree with me on this foreign policy issue you're evil it's like what is that you you you can't enter into any kind of dialogue with him
he just takes it personally he gets offended he's completely thin-skinned over it i just can't And attacks you for asking him.
And then attacks you and attacks your integrity, your character, and
your intellectual capacity.
I can't put words to it.
So who's for him?
I think the lobby is absolutely for him.
I think establishment Republicans and, you know, the Carl Roe, the Associated Republicans of Texas are for him.
It should be called the Associated Rhinos of Texas, but
it's so sick.
These guys,
Associated Republicans of Texas.
So they come after conservative Republicans every two years.
I've got one of the most conservative voting records in the Texas House, like in the top five, top four,
my last four sessions.
I've passed some really important, critically important, comprehensive legislation that's part of the Republican priorities, banning critical race theory in the classroom, banning the social transitioning of children.
And yet this group comes after me every two years.
Two election cycles ago, they spent $300,000, $400,000 against me and were able to get 36% of the vote.
This last election cycle, the Associated Republicans of Texas spent $700,000 against me and got 34% of the vote.
Really?
But Dan Crenshaw helps fund them.
Why?
So he takes his lobbying money and he writes checks, tens of thousands of dollars to the Associated Republicans of Texas that isn't doing anything to help us expand the majority in the Texas House.
they just come after the conservatives.
It's trying to make you more like Democrats.
Completely.
Yeah.
So, what is it, and who runs it?
And where does its money come from?
It's Carl Rove.
And it's just kind of big establishment money, lobby money.
Carl Rove, every time I ask someone involved in Texas politics, how does this conservative, this great state, get such horrible, like, how does a John Cornyn or Dan Crenshaw get elected in Texas?
They always mention Karl Rove.
Texas is the eighth largest economy in the world.
Our economy is bigger than Russia.
Our economy is bigger than Australia.
It's bigger than Canada.
It's bigger than Mexico.
It's a huge economy.
We have a $300-plus billion dollar budget, right?
And so when you're
over $300 billion?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Damn.
Per biennium.
And so when you're talking about that kind of money, it attracts a lot of bottom dwellers.
So you hear about the Washington cartel.
Well, it's pretty much the same thing in Austin, Texas.
It
there's just a lot of money, just a ton of money.
And they will get fixated on things like bringing gambling to Texas as an example.
The neocons desperately want to bring gambling to Texas.
Why?
I'm very libertarian on this issue.
Like, if you want to have a card game and you want to gamble, what you do in your, in your house is is up to you it's not i agree it's none of my business but at the end of the day if you're going to say this is state sponsored and we're only going to give out two or three licenses and we're going to give them out to our friends that have given tons of campaign money right
then it's corrupt it's it's crony capitalism to the max does it improve people's lives doesn't improve people's lives and at the end of the day you look at any you look at any of the states that have implemented it oh yeah and we have we have a national treasurer in Houston by the name of Jim McInvale.
His name is Mattress Mack, and he owns gallery furniture.
He's the most amazing man in the whole world, and he's a gambler.
And he would say the worst thing that Texas could possibly do would be to bring gambling to Texas.
Why?
They build these billion-dollar resorts, right, with cash, these
multinational corporations.
What happens to that money?
People go and gamble and that money leaves our economy.
Of course.
You have less money moving within the economy.
They'll say, well, yeah, but it's a great tax revenue.
There's great tax revenue from it.
Yeah, but eventually the pool in which you're drawing from dries up.
Well, where's it worked?
I mean, it was going to save the state of Maine, for example.
No.
It was going to save East St.
Louis, Illinois?
No.
It was going to save the Mississippi Gulf Coast?
No.
So is there a place where gambling has actually made people's lives better?
No.
it just enriched like some of the worst people in the world?
It's all it is.
And
this past session, the past two sessions, they've been trying to do it.
And
I got a call from the lobbyists, which they assigned two lobbyists to me.
So there are 150 House members.
Each of us had two lobbyists assigned to them for gambling.
And it became the no lobbyist left behind session when it came to gambling.
And
they're like, hey, we want to write you a $25,000 check for your your re-election campaign.
I'm like, I don't want it.
We're not asking for your guaranteed vote in favor of it.
And I'm like,
I don't want it.
If Planned Parenthood wanted to give me money so I could
vote against abortion, I would take that money so I could vote against abortion.
But I'm not going to take your dirty money that.
came at the hands of somebody that lost their house or lost their marriage or lost their business as a result of it.
It's just dirty money.
What were the gambling lobbyists like?
Some of the nicest guys.
Oh, I'm charming, I bet.
Very wonderful people.
Did they call it gaming?
Some did, yeah.
And Steve, don't you understand about the money that we're going to be able to spend on public education as a result of doing this?
Right?
It's about the children, Steve.
It's about the children.
We're sorry to say it, but this is not a very safe country.
Walk through Oakland or Philadelphia.
Yeah, good luck.
So most people, when they think about this, want to carry a firearm, and a lot of us do.
The problem is there can can be massive consequences for that.
Ask Kyle Rittenhouse.
Kyle Rittenhouse got off in the end, but he was innocent from the first moment.
It was obvious on video, and he was facing life in prison anyway.
That's what the anti-gun movement will do.
They'll throw you in prison for defending yourself with a firearm.
And that's why a lot of Americans are turning to Burna.
It's a proudly American company.
Burna makes self-defense launchers that hundreds of law enforcement departments trust.
They've sold over 600,000 pistols, mostly to private citizens who refuse to be empty-handed.
These pistols, and I have one, fire rock-hard kinetic rounds or tear gas rounds and pepper projectiles, and they stop a threat from up to 60 feet away.
There are no background checks, there are no waiting periods.
Burna can ship it directly to your door.
You can't be arrested for defending yourself with a Burna pistol.

So what happened to the legislation?
It went down in flames.
So it typically, and I appreciate Dan Patrick over in the Senate because he pretty much guaranteed that as long as he's going to be the like of,
and hopefully Brandon Creighton will come in after him.
We'll do the same thing.
I think he will, but I don't think it has a future in Texas, thankfully.
Gambling.
Gambling.
And I want to be clear on this.
Casino gambling.
Again.
You want to have car games at your house, invite people over and gamble.
Of course.
But I don't care.
Bringing in casinos.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's so.
Where was Dan Petrick on this?
Did he?
He killed it over in the Senate.
Okay.
So he's lieutenant governor.
And where was Crenshaw?
Silent.
Really?
And that's the problem is that, you know, there's so many, there's so many things that are threatening Texas right now.
And Dan Crenshaw has been absolutely silent.
So in 2000,
it was 2014.
when Abbott became governor, when
Ken Paxton became the attorney general, Those guys won with 23 and 24 point margins over the Democrats.
We're winning now with eight point margins.
Where did the margin go?
Where did these huge wins go, evaporate to?
And it's not people moving into Texas, seven out of 10 of them.
Tucker, Texas is still red from people moving into it.
Republicans that
are refugees, if you will.
Where we're losing is our children.
Of course.
Our kids.
Our kids are being absolutely indoctrinated in the classroom.
And immigration.
I grew up in California.
I was at Reagan's last rally in California in 1980, and it was a right-wing state.
It was California was a, I mean, Bill Clinton lost California in 1992 and won West Virginia in 1992.
So like
people, and now California is, of course, bright blue and West Virginia is bright red.
Why is that?
Because California is a completely different state due to to immigration, and West Virginia has had less immigration than the other state.
Yeah.
The big problem, though, is that
politicians like Dan Crenshaw refuse to take on the teachers' unions.
They refuse to sign up to the teachers' unions.
Why?
They're afraid of them.
They spend tons of money,
and Randy Weingartner and her ilk
scare the heck out of these people.
So Crenshaw is afraid.
So he's like...
I mean, it's the only thing I get.
You can't, I, I, there's been zero activism on his part whatsoever
at standing up to these people.
Hmm.
You hate ever to suggest that someone's doing something for the money.
Right.
But in Crenshaw's case, like his position on Ukraine is so far out
that it's obvious to me he's being paid to have that position.
But you tell me, is sending 100 billion more to Ukraine or Ukraine's borders?
Are these like really huge issues in your district?
It's the border is the biggest issue.
The U.S.
border.
The U.S.
border.
And when
you ask people, and this is not anecdotal, this is empirical.
There have been plenty of people polling in Congressional District 2 and Montgomery County.
Why?
Because it's the biggest red county left in Texas.
The governor polls it.
We poll it.
Other people are polling it.
And it's people see the contrast between the way Ukraine is being taken care of and the Texas border is not.
And they draw a contrast and they should.
It's kind of that simple, isn't it?
Yeah.
Where's Carl Rove on this question?
You know, I think a lot of these guys are just big government neocons that don't care.
They don't see it as a threat at all.
At all.
Do you ever see Rove around?
Never.
But he still has a hand in Texas politics.
Completely.
Do you ever talk to Crenshaw?
The last time I talked to him,
the last time I talked to him was at that town hall three years ago when he dismissed myself and Senator Creighton for not accepting and not, you know, wholeheartedly buying into this crappy Senate bipartisan
bill.
that they wanted to push through.
And again, they blamed President Trump, who was out out of office at the time,
saying, you know, Trump is just torpedoing this thing and they're all angry about it.
And Trump was just saying, you don't need legislation to close the border.
Right.
You just need to have the will to do it.
And no, Dan Crenshaw and 100% of the Republicans or Democrat, 100% of the Democrats in Congress said, no, we need this legislation.
No, you don't.
Close the freaking border.
Who among Texas elected officials supports Crenshaw?
You know, what's funny is when the day we announced we had, I think, 30 of the most conservative members of the Texas legislature that endorse me, and he came out with a list of people to endorse him.
Not one single member of Congress was behind him.
Really?
Not one active Congressman came out to endorse him.
Do you ever talk to members of Congress about him who work with him?
What do they say?
I'm not going going to comment on that.
I just can't.
I just can't.
Okay.
I understand.
But it sounds like he's not a favorite among his colleagues.
Yeah.
I, so a lot of, you know, I came in when I came into the legislature, I came in with one of the biggest classes
since the Sharpstown scandal in the 70s.
I think there were 42 people in our class, and many of them have gone on to serve in Congress in Washington.
And I have a good relationship with all of them.
Yeah.
But Crenshaw doesn't sound like he does.
Is he close to Cornyn?
You know, I don't know if they have a relationship or not.
I know that Cornyn is supporting him for obvious reasons, but that's
what are those reasons.
Well, just they're both donor class lobbyist-centric people.
We're called representatives because we're actually supposed to represent the people that vote us into office.
And they're just some that just
don't give a flying flip about those.
That's obvious.
Well, in Crenshaw's case, it's clearly he's hostile to them.
Yeah.
So it's not just you that he's snapped at for asking a question.
I want to play
a video and maybe you can explain what we're watching.
A young girl comes up to him.
She looks very young in the video and asks him about comments that he made about Jesus during a podcast.
Before we play this, can you tell us with the backstory?
So he was on a podcast.
And Dan wants to show himself off as this intellectual.
Dan is dumb.
No offense.
No, I'm not being mean.
By the way, my dogs are dumb and I think they're going to heaven.
I have no, I don't think that's a moral category.
I'm not attacking him, but he is dumb, like head injury dumb.
And I don't, anyway, sorry.
Sorry to be mean.
No,
I think, I actually think he's, I'm going to disagree with you.
I think he's incredibly smart.
I think he's vacuous when it comes to wisdom, though.
Maybe that's what I'm referring to.
Yeah.
So
I think he knows a lot.
And when I've sat and listened to some of his podcasts and some of the different things, he's a really smart guy, but he completely lacks the wisdom to know what to do with all those smarts.
And so he's doing this podcast with this guy.
And they're talking about, he brings up, well, the American people need archetypes.
Spider-Man, Superman, and Jesus Christ.
And he says, and then real ones too, like Rosa Parks and Abraham Lincoln.
And they're like, what?
You just actually
Rosa Parks is real.
Jesus is not.
Jesus is not.
And so this, that's a Karl Rove position.
I think I probably,
I saw it on Wikipedia.
It must be real.
So this young woman at the Montgomery County Tea Party on a Monday night asked
Dan Crenshaw, she said, I'm trying to get my arms around this.
And then she read the statement verbatim of what he had said on this podcast.
And he said, I can't get my arms around that.
And he said, you put a period after Jesus and don't question my faith.
And the whole place just lost it.
So let's play that.
You not only lied about Jesus not being real, but you lied about being a Christian.
To give context to anyone who hasn't heard, Chris said, quote, the most important thing here is that we have important hero archetypes that we look up to.
Jesus is a hero archetype.
Superman is a hero archetype.
Real characters, too.
i could name a thousand rosa hearts from a break in quote i can't wrap my head around this
i'll help you put a period of word jesus and don't question my faith wow
so i think it's it's fair to
you know to to not want to be attacked for your faith okay i i i'm with crenshaw on that but she wasn't really attacking him on his face she was asking like what do you think she wanted clarity what do you mean yeah
exactly like have you ever said anything You're like, I could have positioned that differently.
Have I ever said anything?
I mean, I get asked that all the time, especially I'll come home and my wife will be like, did you mean to say that?
Okay, what should I have said?
Right.
Right.
Oh, I've lived.
I'm like, okay, yes.
Honey, that makes sense.
Right.
But so you just say, wow, I guess I could have handled that differently.
That's not what I meant.
I would have put a period after Jesus and then I would have shut my mouth and laughed and laughed it off.
Totally.
But instead, he got all defensive at this young woman and tried to ridicule her.
Oh, he attacked her like instantly.
Yeah.
So the First Amendment is the one truly distinctive thing that makes America America.
It makes this country great.
You are a citizen.
That means you can speak openly and honestly without fear about what you actually believe.
The government doesn't own you.
You own the government.
That's the premise.
And for 250 years, we've lived it.
We hope to keep living it.

So, what you're seeing on display there is a fragile,
very unhappy, and above all, hostile person.
I mean, why would a person like that want to be in elected office in the first place?
I don't know because you are, the reality is that you are the center of scorn, you know,
you just are.
You, um, of course, you're going to take some hard positions and you're going to get shot at.
Of course.
Um, so how did that video go over in Texas?
It went viral like overnight.
And the next morning it was on all the different radio talk shows and
yeah, went over like a lead balloon.
But yeah,
at no time did he ever say, Well, I handled that.
It was a bad night for me.
Probably shouldn't have said that.
That was silly on my part.
Right.
I mean, there's just no ability to be gracious and kind to that young woman, even in the absence of and seeing whatever, what happened.
Nothing.
It was just bizarre.
I want to play one other clip that I think reveals a lot, not just about
his temperament, but about his agenda.
So he was asked by a reporter whom I respect called Liam Cosgrove,
well, coming out of Congress, this was earlier, this was the spring, early summer, and he was asked about legislation that he had voted for.
And basically his position was the intel agencies are not in any way playing in American politics.
Here's the exchange.
With data and with access to your math that you're addicted to, you can vastly manipulate manipulate an entire population, which the Chinese have done.
Are you worried that our intelligence agencies are doing the same thing domestically?
Am I worried that,
well, I know that they're not.
They're not manipulating Americans?
They're not controlling the flow of information?
Yeah, did you have some evidence otherwise that you'd like to share?
I mean,
any serious customers.
Congressman, you asked for an example of the U.S.
intelligence agencies meddling in our information.
What about before the 2020 election when 50 members came out and said the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian Russian disinformation.
Does that count?
No, because I mean they were they were retired.
They were retired, but
the FBI had the laptop frozen.
I think even close to what TikTok frozen.
So
that
I felt, again, I've spent the last half an hour sort of defending Crenshaw in a backhanded way.
I think he's a victim
of the war on terror, if I'm being honest.
That's what I think.
He's clearly so damaged and screwed up and tragic personal life and all the rest.
But when I saw that, I thought, this is like not a good person, actually.
The most egregious thing about that is that as I talk to friends in DC,
they see this like on a daily basis.
Oh, yes.
And so wait, see what?
This is the deep state.
This is the deep state at work that he's denying exists.
The intel agency is playing in American politics.
Right.
So what the left has done is they've positioned this fourth branch of government
so that even when they're not in power, they're in power.
Yes.
That's what they've created.
They've created a system whereby,
so you lose Congress, you lose the White House.
We don't care.
They don't care because they have the fourth branch of government that's still running the show.
It's so blatantly honest or obvious.
I had a
quick little story.
I had a young woman call me.
She was referred referred to me by someone from Texans for Vaccine Choice.
She transitioned and she's transitioning.
She bought into the lie that she was a male and at 26 years of age, she's trying to transition back.
And she called me up and said, And she's been shot full of hormones and the whole thing.
Hysterectomy.
Oh, come on.
Mastectomy.
And when you shoot someone.
Is it hysterectomy in their 20s?
No, earlier than that.
And the problem is when you put people on cross-sex hormones, I'm getting way afield here, but it screws up their system, right?
And she's the most beautiful young woman.
And, but she has a driver's license with a male name on it.
And so I just, I called up
the head of DPS and I said, can we take care of this for her?
And by the next morning, she had a new driver's license with her name on it and brought her to tears.
Like, that's her identity now, right?
You can do things like that at the state of Texas level because
we haven't turned the fourth branch of government into anything that can hurt people.
It's been done at the federal level.
There's still democratic control, too.
Like the people still have a voice, as screwed up and corrupt as the state may be, and it is, in my opinion.
There's still like a possibility that you can make change.
Especially in the Texas Education Agency, where you see a lot of this stuff, but you still can make change, right?
But at the federal level, like if you were to call immigration or something like that, they'd laugh at you.
Of course.
You're just a silly congressman.
We don't care what you think.
Why would they?
Why would they?
Right.
And they do the same thing with the executive branch.
They're just completely aloof.
They don't care what we think.
They don't care what the elected officials.
They don't care what a constitutionally elected person that holds office, they don't care what you think.
Even though your
department may be underneath an agency that you oversee as a sitting member of Congress, they don't care.
No, they're not.
This is why Doge was a good idea.
And
really no one's until people are really fired,
people who work for us, then there's no incentive for them.
But here's the problem, Tucker, is that we've got a responsibility, I think, as elected officials
to say to the American people, this is going on.
I see it with my own eyes.
This is what's going on.
And guys like Crenshaw are like, no, I'm going to defend it.
Well, how could you defend?
So how could, I mean, he was asked specifically,
the intel agencies have basically nullified democracy because they are playing a role in American politics, a very big role.
And that's documented.
It's not a matter of guesswork at this point.
We know that.
And it's, as you just said, anyone who works in Washington sees it every single day.
So like, if he's denying that angrily, what does that say about his role?
I mean, he was asked specifically about the right about
Hunter Biden's laptop.
Yeah.
And it was called Russian Disinformation by the intelligence community.
Oh, yes.
And he blew it off.
Completely blew it off.
Just like they blew off
Biden's daughter's diary.
Of course.
Well, they put the people who had it in jail.
Right.
For the crime of having Ashley Biden's diary, in which she said she showered with her dad and it screwed her up sexually.
How couldn't it?
That's what it's.
Well, exactly.
How couldn't it?
But that was just, they put the guy in jail for that.
I mean, for having it.
Yeah.
Or, or, you know, the, the, the young woman
that was a staffer for Joe Biden when he was in the Senate.
Oh, I know her, Tara Reed.
I know her well.
She lives in Moscow now because she was basically driven out of the country.
They destroyed her.
Oh, I, I know, I know her well.
Yes.
That's literally no one cares.
My heart just breaks for her.
Just sweet woman, too.
Very sweet woman.
Yeah.
She had to leave this country, be away from her family, her child.
I mean, that's, it's, uh, and no one cared.
The feminists said not one word.
The same
players
in government don't, don't treat Republicans that way.
I mean, if it's only, it's only people that say bad things about the power structure of Washington, D.C.
They're the only ones that get held accountable.
I've noticed.
It's so sick.
It's just so sick.
ALP is a pretty new company, about a year old, but we have a surprisingly deep, and I mean subterranean flavor vault.
We have a massive index, a library, if you will, of archived flavors, all of which have been approved by the federal government.
It's all totally legal.
And so our archivists went down to the flavor vault last week and came up with a kind of sexy flavor, something I never would have thought of myself.
They call it Spearmint.
Introducing ALP Spearmint from the Flavor Vault.
It's incredible.
It's like a spear right to the heart of the Flavor Zone, wherever that is.

Come
so why do you think, I just am fascinated by the very first thing you said when we sat down was, I have to confess my role in Dan Crenshaw's victory because he made this really compelling case that he was going to fight the corruption in D.C.
And I understood that.
He knew what we wanted to hear.
But how, why not?
like fight corruption a little bit.
Why immediately start making excuses for the CIA controlling U.S.
elections?
Like, why would you ever make excuses for that?
I can't.
I can't, for the life of me, get my arms around it.
Okay, well, I have a little bit.
I just have a guess.
I don't know either.
I don't talk to Dan Crenshaw,
you know, directly.
But there was this kind of amazing moment right after COVID when people started taking a look at the performance of various members of Congress's stock portfolios.
And,
you know, I personally know hedge fund managers who've underperformed the market.
Right.
People who do this for a living, maybe billions, some years, they just don't, you know, it's very hard to beat the market.
But Dan Crenshaw did somehow.
He made a lot of trades, including after getting classified briefings on COVID policy.
And he was called out on this.
And he wasn't the only one.
I mean, Nancy Pelosi famously, but Dan Crenshaw did pretty well.
And,
you know, I don't think there's any evidence to suggest he's like a market expert.
So, like, how exactly did that
work?
And this was his response.
He didn't, you know, he immediately started attacking anyone who asked him.
And he said, you don't let us trade stocks.
You don't let us make any money either.
We haven't gotten a pay raise since 2008.
So, I mean, I don't think members of Congress are overpaid exactly, but they're paid multiples of what the average person makes and they get a lifetime pension.
So it's a pretty good deal and free health care and dental.
So it's like he's clearly very focused on money.
He was vicious too about the way he said it.
I mean,
the level of anger in his voice that he would be questioned about the way he's trading stock or what he gets paid.
So the average Texan is paid $76,000.
Dan Crencho is making $174,000 of your tax dollars.
He's being paid by our tax dollars in Texas.
Of course.
And he thinks he should make more.
Well, for a young man, too, the lifetime value of the package that he's, which he's already gotten because he's already served multiple terms.
Right.
So is many millions of dollars over the course of a life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
It is crazy.
So, I mean, it does like, what do you make of the stock trading?
How did Dan Crenshaw beat the market?
Well, multiple people have talked about it and multiple people over the years have said that we've got to stop it because we have access, they have access to information that the average person doesn't have access to.
And it's really not a lot different in Texas.
Again, we're the eighth largest economy in the United States.
I see deals that are coming our way, and
I could own stock in those companies, but my wife and I have chosen to stay out of the market.
And for that very simple reason, even
at all, at all.
So I own real estate.
I own some rental houses, and that's my retirement.
But I don't want to be,
I want to avoid, I want to avoid the appearance of evil.
This has been an issue.
This went all the way back to, remember Eric Cantor?
Very well.
Eric Cantor was thrown out of office.
Dave, I can't think of his last name.
He's a.
I know them both.
Yeah.
But anyways, Cantor lost because of his defense and voted against legislation.
This is going back 10, 12 years, that would have stopped this.
And the American people have just had enough with it.
They just have absolutely had enough of it and i don't i don't blame them it's just absolutely stupid you're taking advantage of the system and um
and enriching yourselves and that creates a perverse incentive inside you to do the wrong thing and to vote the wrong way why not i mean if you're nancy pelosi or if you're dan crenshaw whose politics are very similar by the way dan's a liberal i guess if that's not obvious i should just say that um dan's a liberal but you know both of them have taken a lot of crap for this i mean it's they've really been attacked for the appearance of insider trading.
I can't call it that, but certainly what it looks like.
Clearly, it looks that way.
Why wouldn't you just ban it?
And then you can get rich when you leave and you can go lobby for AIPAC or whatever he's going to do.
But like, I don't, I don't.
The simplest thing would be to file legislation
and then dump your portfolio or dump it into a blind trust.
At the very least, if you're going to say, okay,
you can't own stock, at the very least, we should be encouraging these guys to dump them into a blind trust so that they can't manipulate the market or manipulate their own portfolio as a result of what they know.
Doesn't it make people cynical about their government?
That's the problem.
I mean, I think probably the greatest threat to the United States right now is the cynicism that we have.
towards our elected officials.
I think, especially conservatives, every time we hear lock her up, they're not going to lock her up.
No, they're not.
Throw them out of office.
They're not going to throw them out of office.
Arrest them.
They're not going to throw them out of office.
Liars.
It's just, we're so sick of it.
And this is going on here in Texas, right?
As well with the quorum busters that while we were trying to do redistricting, they went to Illinois and they went to California.
And we heard, lock them up, lock them up.
And we're going to lock them up.
We're going to throw them out.
No one's going to get thrown out of office.
And it's just, it feeds the cynicism that we all rightfully have right now because it's so fake.
I feel like that cynicism is the most intense and the most dangerous among like patriotic normal Americans.
They have really been betrayed.
Oh my gosh.
Because they really believed in it.
I mean, practically everyone who got arrested on
January 6th was carrying like a pocket constitution.
Like these were people who really believe in this system.
Yeah.
And yet you see people that
were part of rabble rousing in Washington, D.C.
that day that never went to jail.
Well, they don't even, they hate the system.
They want to tear it down.
So I'm talking about the insiders.
Of course.
No, no, I agree.
But I mean, someone like Crenshaw or Nancy Pelosi, they don't believe in the system.
They're grifters, obviously.
But like the people who do believe in the system and are the victim of this just serial decades-long betrayal.
Those people, and I feel like I'm one of them, being honest, just makes me so mad.
I can barely see because you feel like you're betrayed by your own leaders.
Do you feel that?
Oh, completely.
And it's harder because when you're in office, you're kind of like, okay, because of what you're doing right now, I'm going to get painted with that same brush.
Oh, so you, I mean, you're in the Texas house.
So how often do you see that?
All the time.
And like, I'll post something about
what's going on with the corn breakers right now.
They're like, oh, you're just a piece of crap.
You, you know,
you're going to tell us what we want to hear.
And it's like, I don't blame that guy for feeling that way.
Yes.
He should feel that way
because our government has done nothing to bring the hammer down on these people.
It's just all talk.
I mean, it feels like we're getting to like a dangerous level of anger.
I feel it anyway.
I feel like I hate everyone, all these people, especially the ones who claim to represent me.
They're just liars.
I know.
I'm less mad at Pelosi than I am at some Republicans who I formerly believed.
I'm more mad at us right now.
I'm way more mad at Republicans than I am Democrats.
Oh, I agree with that completely.
Look, Republicans, Democrats, Democrats are like trail horses.
Each one sticks his nose in the ass of the horse in front of him.
And Republicans are like Mustangs.
We're biting each other.
We're kicking each other.
We're fighting.
They work in lockstep together
and
they take people out
that don't believe in their radical views.
There was a woman in the Texas legislature last session, Sean Theory, Democrat,
that voted with us and against the gender mutilation of little girls and boys.
And the Democrat Party responded by running somebody against her and spending a million dollars to take her out.
Did they?
They did.
They took her out.
For that?
For that.
We, on the other hand,
we try and take out members of our own party
that fight for our
values.
I've noticed.
And it's just, it's so sick.
Where is that?
Here's the reality is that
the modern day Republican Party, when we win elections, we take office.
When Democrats win elections, they wield power.
They fully believe in what they're fighting for.
We just have people that want power, that want to get elected.
And it's sad because, like, don't you care about anything?
Is there no holy discontent inside your soul that bothers you about what's going on in our country today that you're willing to fight for?
Or are you just willing to play it safe so you can stay in office?
Democrats fight.
They believe in everything that they're doing.
What do you think the answer is?
Honestly,
I think we need a spiritual renewal in America
and we need to get back to our founding principles and
our
our Constitution was meant only for a holy
and religious people
and we're starting to see our our nation and our society just fray and tear apart right now
And as a result of that, we're raising up people that should not be in office,
that are serving
and have no place in serving within the Republican Party.
I'm talking about within the Republican Party.
Oh, of course you are.
Oh, I believe that.
And I know so many of them.
I've always felt like the problem was the, you know, what they call rhinos.
I'm not even sure what a Republican is now anyway.
So it doesn't even, I don't know if I'm not.
I'm not even sure what a conservative is.
I'm not either.
When Mitt Romney says, I'm an extreme conservative, like, what?
What?
No.
You're an extreme conservative?
No,
you're a guilty old lady.
But
now it feels like there are, you know, people jumping up and down about America first who are,
you know, they're biding their time until Trump's gone.
Oh, yeah.
You feel that.
Oh, completely.
Yeah.
So among people you serve with in the House in Texas, how many are really sincere, do you think?
So
88 Republicans, 62 Democrats,
and
67 of us got together and selected David Cook as speaker.
And the balance, the small balance of this is the new, the new speaker.
No,
he should have been the new speaker.
Okay.
After all, 67 of us got together.
You had the drunk guy.
Dade's gone.
And
we led, there are four of us that led a revolt against Dade.
And this guy was actually hammered on the House floor.
It would appear from,
I have to work with these people.
Let me just say, as a former drunk person,
I recognize that.
Yeah.
So 67 of us got together.
We started cobbling together this coalition.
We got it up to 67 people out of 88 Republicans.
So more than a majority.
Yeah.
Right.
A super, super majority.
And then this little group of Republicans got together with all 62 of the Democrats and they picked burrows.
So, yeah,
we have a speaker that was picked by the Democrats.
So the Texas House is overwhelmingly Republican, but it's actually run by the Democrats.
Correct.
They're about 40.
I would put the number at about 40 strong conservatives out of the 88.
But even a sort of tepid conservative, even a rhino,
by definition, wouldn't want the Texas House to be run by the other party.
Of course not.
Yet they do.
Do you think the Democrats would abide by this?
Do you think the Democrats, if they were in the majority, would include any of us on their team?
No, of course not.
Elections have consequences.
And also the people should have a say.
So if the majority of the state votes for Republican leadership, you should have it because that's called democracy.
It's about responding to what the citizenry, the owners of the United States want
in the administration of their government.
And they're getting, once again, the opposite of what they voted for.
Correct.
And on every issue, they get the opposite.
There's never been one public opinion poll in the last two years that said, number one issue for me is Ukraine.
And yet all the money is going to Ukraine or to all these other foreign countries.
It's like, why are we giving all this money to Egypt?
Is there some, are there a lot of people in your district who are like, we need to add another billion dollars to
Egyptian foreign aid budget this year?
It's a big issue.
Yeah.
Lemonade stands and everything else.
We're all working hard for Egypt.
I mean, what?
So
I just feel like, well, let me ask you, do you feel like we're at a point where people are becoming, I'm feeling way more radical than I've ever felt in my life.
Because no one's listening.
Right.
Thank you.
No one's listening.
And we just, after a while, you just get frustrated and angry over it.
Yes.
It's the sincere people who are the most angry, right?
Because the cynical people never expected
a real system in the first place.
The only skin that they have in the game is their patriotism.
There's nothing financially in it for them at all.
It's just love of country.
It's just, Tucker, it's just love of country.
Yes.
So that's why I wanted to talk to you.
And I, and I'll just be honest, I think you turn out to be one of the most sincere, thoughtful politicians I've talked to in a long time.
That's because I'm not a politician.
So I'm, I'm glad.
In fact, my wife, when you hang out with me, my Babette will be like, you know, you can't hang out with Steve if you call him representative.
Well, but the real reason I want to talk to you is I don't want Dan Crenshaw to get reelected, not because I hate Dan Crenshaw or think he's actually going to make good on his promise to kill me.
I don't think he's going to.
It's not personal.
It really isn't.
It's just that if you keep electing people who are transparently corrupt and insincere, like Dan Crenshaw, then after a while, like your country falls apart.
Not because he's so bad, but because it's such an obvious lie.
I guess that's what I'm trying to express.
Do you worry about that?
I think cynicism is
the greatest threat to our country.
Yes.
And scripture says where there is no hope,
people perish.
And that's where we're at.
today in America.
And I think one of the things that I love about Trump, and I think the reason why people have overwhelmingly flocked to Trump is Trump leads with actions and not words.
He leads with words to
capture the news cycle, right?
But he doesn't use those words to do anything other than to throw the mainstream media off.
He leads with action.
And that's what we want out of our leaders.
We want people that are going to lead with action and not rhetoric.
We're tired of the rhetoric.
Absolutely tired of the rhetoric.
It's hollow.
It's empty.
It's useless.
Incumbents almost always get reelected, especially from Republican districts.
It feels maybe not especially, but they definitely Republicans, bad Republicans.
I know.
John Cornyn, multiple terms in the Senate.
I can think of probably another 40 Republican office holders.
It's like, how did you get re-elected?
Particularly in Republican states.
Right.
You know, in Idaho and
all through the deep South, they reelect people with litter with Alzheimer's.
It's crazy.
How hard will it be to unseat Dan Crenshaw?
It's going to be a lot of work.
We've had a lot of people coming to my website, steve tooth for congress.com or just steve toath.com.
Both work, but it's been pretty cool.
We've had people from all over the United States
contributing the widow's might 10 bucks, 15 bucks.
It's so amazing.
And
um this is doable but the biggest problem tucker is that
there there's there's just like this belief well they're they're a sitting member they can't be beat yes they can we've proven it we've we've seen it we've shown it that when you when you mobilize as a as a community against these guys you can take them out yes
i just think it it would be an important statement about democracy and that it still can work.
I've wanted to talk to Crenshaw, put in a million interview interview requests.
He will not do an interview, period, except with a moderator.
It's hilarious.
I'd love to talk to Clifford Asnes, his main funder, the guy who's like publicly defended short selling,
true sleazeball.
Of course, he would never talk to me, but I would like to, I would just, I would like to know
how someone like Crenshaw could get re-elected.
Like who would support him?
Do you feel support for him in the district?
It's not there.
Just, it's not there.
So, we did,
uh, we did a meet and greet in his neighborhood on Saturday, and the place was packed.
In his neighborhood where he lives,
where he lives, and um,
it was just, I walked away so encouraged with the support that we got.
And it's just, it's really exciting.
It's going to be a lot of work.
I mean, you know, he outspent his opponent two years ago, 120 to one, and the guy got 42% against him.
And
so when that happens, there's blood in the water and it attracts a lot of people.
But we're the only ones that have launched a really legitimate campaign against him where we're going to be able to raise the money necessary.
We're going to be outspent.
We get that.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, just the amount of support that he's going to get from the lobby is just off the charts.
But I can't ever think, Tucker, of a time when I haven't been outspent two or three to one
and one.
So we're okay with it.
We're going to beat him.
And we're just going to work way harder.
When's the primary?
March 3rd of next year.
March 3rd.
Yeah.
So the district is overwhelmingly Republican.
Completely.
Okay.
So whoever wins the primary.
Will win the general.
How many people are in the primary, do you think?
Do you expect?
We're pressing for roughly 160,000 votes.
No, I mean, how many candidates?
How many people are running against him?
I think there are about five in right now, five or six.
Really?
Yeah.
And more will get in.
More will get in.
It just, it happens.
And how does that work?
Is it the guy who gets the most votes or is it their own?
You have to get 50%.
Yeah.
Or it goes into a runoff.
Oh, wow.
So if you're Carl Rove or Clifford Esnes or some lobby, foreign lobby, you have every incentive to get as many people into this race as possible.
Correct.
Right.
Correct.
But we're already hearing from people in it that have come to me and said, you've got the best chance of winning.
I'm probably going to drop out before the filing period.
So the filing period hasn't even opened yet.
You're just allowed to pick a treasurer and say that you're running for Congress and make a statement.
But the filing period hasn't even opened yet.
And we think a lot of them are going to drop out.
I've got great relationships with a lot of the people that are in it right now.
And they feel like, you know, you've got the best chance to beat them.
And we want to help you.
So I have, I mean, the reason I want to talk to you is I've talked to a lot of people in Texas about it just because I think it's so important
to make good on your promises.
If you say you're going to put America first, you have to have people who are willing to amen.
And we need it badly, so badly.
And everybody I've spoken to has said, you have the best shot at unseating him.
This is not directly related to you, but since you swim in the same pool, where is Cornyn's reelection right now?
Would you say?
How would you assess that?
He is in real trouble.
So we've been looking at his numbers as well.
His numbers are not as bad as Dan Crenshaw's numbers, but they're bad.
How bad are Crenshaw's numbers?
He's at 43% unfavorable in Harris County, 44% unfavorable in Montgomery County.
44%.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's really high.
That's really high.
And I think Cornyn's about three points below that.
But that's still bad, right?
So, I mean, typically people that have unfavorable numbers above 40% don't even run for re-election.
Interesting.
So Cornyn, who hates Trump, obviously hates Trump.
Right.
Has always hated Trump.
He's like sucking up to Trump now, right?
It's sick.
Really?
It's just sick to watch it.
What's he doing?
This is so funny.
So a couple months ago, there's a picture in Acts of him reading The Art of the Deal.
And just above it, it says, what a great read.
And then in the...
John Cornyn, who's like, wants nothing more than to like be accepted into some club.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And then like, and then a month or two later, he's got a picture of him outside.
There's a, there's a, a restaurant in Texas called Trump Burger.
And he's outside the restaurant with the, the marquee behind him.
And he's holding
a Trump Trump burger in his hand.
No way.
It's just so silly.
Cornyn, who dresses like J.P.
Morgan vice president, you know what I mean?
He's like a big Trump guy now.
Yeah.
Do people fall for that?
No.
No.
They don't.
So he's running against Ken Paxton is in the race.
Are there others?
That's it so far.
That's it right now.
You got to think, I mean, I'm so Karl Rove tried to take out Ken Paxton, your attorney general,
in a, in a, I mean, tried to put him in jail, basically, helped run this impeachment against him, trial.
Is he involved in the Senate race, do you think?
I think he will be.
He was sure involved in trying to take Ken Paxton out.
There is no doubt about it.
Not just take him out, but imprison him.
Oh, my gosh.
So that impeachment was the biggest scam.
Should have been the biggest embarrassment.
It is, I think it is.
It will go down in history as the biggest embarrassment of the Texas legislature at the Texas House.
And I was so proud of the way the Texas Senate stepped up, very seriously,
deliberative every single charge against him.
They put it to the test.
And we rushed, we literally rushed it through in 24 hours.
We were given this 60-page document to read of the charges against Paxton.
No witnesses were called
for their side.
None of the
witnesses were sworn in, which is a violation of the Texas Constitution.
This is exactly what Carl Rove and Eric Holder did
to the Alabama pro-life governor 20, 30 years ago.
They took him out, threw him in jail.
And it was later found out to be all, you know, all, all nothing.
It was a big nothing burger.
And he was set free, but it destroyed him, right?
It destroyed his life.
It destroyed his political career.
It took everything away from the man.
And they tried to do the same thing to Ken.
And it was just absolutely.
And Ken's real sin,
even if you disagree with Paxton, you have to say he's been very effective.
Oh, my gosh.
He's been incredibly effective.
Right.
So that's the crime right there.
That is the crime.
Is not just getting up and being like, Oh, I'm a war hero.
I have an eye patch.
You know, I'm going to drain the swamp, but actually doing something.
He actually did it.
And Ken, you know, like to know Ken is to know that Ken's not like the most articulate, charismatic speaker in the world.
No, he's anything but that.
And so I like him more for that, actually.
I know it just he bleeds with his actions.
Hmm.
Um,
interesting.
It sounds like how influential are the Bushes still in Texas politics?
I think they're very influential.
Still.
Still.
Yeah.
But
I think
it's mainly through Karl Rove.
They don't support the president.
They refuse to support Trump, which is an embarrassment.
Should be an embarrassment to them.
at their lack of support and everything that he's doing for our country right now.
How can't you look at everything that Trump is doing right now and say
what he's doing with the border, what he's doing with Doge, what he's doing with public education, and on and on and on.
And look at that.
How do you not look at that and just say, wow, this is all the crap that you guys said you were going to do?
He just did it.
Like, you said you wanted to do away with the Department of Education
because of the way they're destroying public education in America.
He's doing it.
You want to root out the corruption?
Through
these government agencies that are blindly giving giving money to other Democrats so that they can, they literally are funneling and laundering money through the United States government.
These different organizations that Doge has uncovered more, I mean, specifically USAID, right?
Yep.
USAID was the piggy bank for the Democrat Party in Act Blue.
And that's why the Democrats are angry about it, because you took their funding source away.
Everyone knew it.
Everyone knew that that was going on.
Trump's the only one that had the stones to get up and just do it.
Do you not care about America?
You don't care about America.
These politicians don't care about America.
They call themselves Republicans.
They don't care about the Republic.
They care about sustaining power and keeping their own little click in control.
That's all they care about.
What's it like to go to work in the Texas State House?
You know, was it Truman that said, if you want a friend, go buy a dog?
Yeah.
It's kind of like what it's like.
And it's, it's hard.
It's difficult.
And so I've been, I've been blessed in that I, I don't go there alone.
I don't live alone.
I don't go anywhere alone.
They'll destroy you if you live alone.
They'll accuse you of everything and anything.
I live this past session with Nate Shastline.
Nate's a...
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Back up just for one sec.
Sure.
What do you mean if you live alone?
So your session is how long is the session?
We're in session for five months every two years, January through May, and then specials.
So you live north of Houston, but you have to go down to Austin for the session.
You got to live there.
You got to live there.
If you live alone, why does it matter if you live alone?
Oh, they'll accuse you of something or they'll set you up with something.
Weird sex stuff.
Yep.
For real?
For real.
And I'm convinced that's how a lot of guys have gotten into trouble.
Individuals that I know that came there with the best intentions to do the right thing and now are just part of the problem.
Are you serious?
Completely.
Of course, you are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.
Also, it's not wise for a man to live alone for five months.
It's not.
It's just it's it's stupid.
It is stupid.
I totally agree with that.
Let's let's stop lying about the way men are.
Wow.
That's so, is that widely known?
Oh, I think it is.
Yeah.
I mean, you, there's a, you know, there's a lot of gossip and stuff, but,
you know,
and
I feel badly because I feel like there are some really good people that get accused of it where it's not true.
And I feel badly for them, but that's,
you know,
that's what you sign up for when you go to the business.
But it's a means of control.
It's a leash that someone is yanking to keep people in line.
Yep, completely.
And so you think there are people who arrived with the intent of doing good, joining the swamp, representing their constituents who were caught up in some sort of immoral behavior and that has been used as leverage against them.
Yeah.
Yes.
I believe that completely.
Really?
So I just, I make a point of just, I, I don't, you know, if, if I, if I go to an event, I don't, I don't drink.
I quit drinking back in 2019.
It didn't serve me.
Yeah.
It just doesn't do anything for you.
I, you know, I, my wife and I would have a glass of wine or two at dinner, but I just completely gave it up.
Oh, you weren't like a slobbering drunk.
You just no,
um, I, I'm a cheap date.
So I just know I just, but I, I, I, I never wanted to be seen with, you know, with beer or wine in my hand.
It just,
it doesn't serve you at all in any way, shape, or form.
I agree completely.
Strongly.
Yeah.
Good for you.
So, but you, but when you showed up in Austin for your first session, you were aware that you could be subverted.
I don't think I was as aware then.
You know, you'd heard about stuff.
Is that really true?
That can't be true.
These guys are really good.
They're Republicans.
They wouldn't do that.
I was completely naive when I first came in.
Like 40 of us showed up.
We had this group called the No Name Group.
We're like, they're going to be so happy that we're here.
They're going to love us.
Otis, he loves us.
They're going to love us because we're true.
We're fighting Republicans.
They're going to love us.
No.
They scorned us.
Really?
They being the Republicans who were already there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then no time flat.
In fact, I can remember one of them said,
we were called for such a time as this,
quoting Esther, the book of Esther.
Of course.
And the reason why they hate us now,
this is what one of them said.
The reason why they hate us is because we remind them of what they used to be.
And I look at most of those guys that said that and and shook their head like i am and say yeah and that's who you are now you've
you've caught you've turned you're not with us anymore how how long ago was that that was in 2013 when i i came in in 2013 served for two years then i left for four years and then i came back in 2019.
but the guys who stayed
most all them went bad
really
So what, apart from sexual blackmail, which you've said is real and I believe you, what are the other
means by which good people become bad people?
You want to be effective, don't you?
Tucker, you're here to serve your district.
You want to be effective, don't you?
Well, you're going to be in the penalty box if you don't become part of the speaker's team.
And if you're in the penalty box, you can't pass any legislation.
And I'm kind of an outlier in that I get really lucky.
Like I passed some legislation as an example, I picked up a bill to take on critical race theory, and no one had even heard of it when I carried the bill.
And then a guy by the name of Dick Weakley from Texans for Lawsuit Reform
heard about my bill.
And Dick's daughter is a passionate follower of Christ, Allison.
Dick is a good man.
And he got behind my bill.
And by God's grace, and
I carried that bill
in the 87th session.
We passed it into law.
It was the best one in the United States.
And so, you know, I got that done.
And it's like I came home and I said to Babette, I said, we didn't sell out.
God proved to me that he could still use me and I didn't have to sell out to do it.
And it just, it made me more passionate that
with God, there's a way to get things done.
And he can still use you.
You don't have to sell your soul to these people.
These people are evil.
They don't want to to do the right thing they're not concerned about doing the right thing they're just concerned about holding on to power
but it's interesting that they they say right to you you want to be effective so they appeal really to your best instincts because you do any good man wants to be effective for
so it's they don't come to you and say hey i've got like hookers and cash for you they say
no you we can help you be the person you want to be right
you want to be effective don't you yeah in fact a couple people
that
were going to vote with us left us at the last, like one, one guy,
he left, he was going to vote for David Cook.
And he came in with me as a freshman.
David Cook for speaker.
For speaker.
And the last second, he switched over and voted for Burroughs.
I said, why'd you do that?
I mean, I knew.
And he said, he voted with the Democrats.
Yeah.
I wanted to be effective for my district.
And he ended up getting a chairmanship, committee chairmanship, which these guys love getting committee chairmanships.
They love being called chairman.
Outside their office, you know, it says Steve Toth,
House District 15, and it shows the committees that you serve on.
Well, for those guys, it's chairman.
That's like a big deal.
And these guys love,
you know, the being called chairman in the Texas House.
It's just, it's, it's such a, you know, it's just such an ego boost.
Do they end up getting anything done once they make that deal?
No.
You pass some legislation, but you sell a little bit of your soul in the midst of it.
It's a transaction.
And then you just become with time more corrupt once you've
been corrupted.
It's just, it's a, it's such a slow, Tucker, it's such a slow process.
For some guys, it happens a lot quicker than others, but it's, it's a slow process where you just lose your soul.
God, that's so dark.
Yeah.
Does anyone ever come back?
No.
I can't even, I can't ever think of a time when I've seen somebody that's gone over and said, wow,
I blew it.
I mean, I've seen, I've seen guys that have had a bad vote that
have come back next session, said, gosh, that was a stupid vote.
I was part of their team, but they hadn't sold their soul.
They just, they made a bad vote.
And then they come back the next session
yeah i've seen that but no none that have fully gone over become chairman and lost their soul and come back no have you ever seen a a really honest man of integrity
get rewarded for that become chairman of a committee
no we're not
they they want you to become
They absolutely want you to go there and lose your sense of conviction, your holy discontent that you come there with to change.
They don't want you to change anything.
Your desire to change is what puts them in jeopardy of losing their authority and their power.
These guys cut deals.
And if you're going to push for legislation,
if you're going to push,
I want to transform the way we do elections in Texas.
So I want us to be able to audit.
Once there's an election, you have to hold on to the data for 22 months.
But unfortunately, Tucker, we don't have the ability to audit any of it.
So why, why do you hold on to election material for 22 months if you can't audit it to find out if there's been corruption?
So I don't know.
I'm just guessing, but I've just seen this a lot.
Basically, that was legislation, I'm guessing, that was passed to protect corruption, but it sounds in the telling like a good government
move, like it was designed to expose corruption.
So in other words, like under my election integrity bill, every candidate will have to hold that data for 22 months.
What they don't tell you is they can't look at it.
It remains secret for two years.
Yeah.
And so myself and Paul Betancourt, Senator Betancourt, have introduced legislation that the president supports, fully supports.
And these guys know it.
The Republicans all know it.
But what's the piece of legislation that Democrats say when they're going to get behind a speaker?
they're like, there are these things that are not going to pass this year.
Toast legislation
and Betancourt's legislation on doing audits
and the transition of kids.
So like I had, I had a bill this year, House Bill 2258.
I think it was 2258.
I had like 70 pieces of legislation, but they sent it to Ken King's committee where Ken King killed the bill.
I had three members of his committee that became joint authors on the bill to stop the social transitioning of children, and they never gave the bill a hearing.
Why would a Republican want to protect
like the destruction of children through transgender ideology?
Like, why would a Republican be in favor of that?
I don't think they are.
I think they basically are against it,
but they compromise and say, the only way I can do good things for my, for my people back home is if I maintain my chairmanship.
And the only way I can maintain my chairmanship is to cut a deal with Democrats.
And Democrats don't want this piece of legislation to pass.
And so they kill it.
They just kill it.
But
we turned it into an amendment, and we stuck it on to Senate Bill 12 at the end of session.
And now social transitioning of kids is illegal in the state of Texas.
Nice.
Was that distressing to Republicans?
Here's the hard part about it is that we knew that we were going to try and pass it as an amendment.
And so I didn't make a big deal about it during session
because I didn't want the Democrats to blow it up.
I didn't want them to know that we were still going to try and put it on something.
So we just stayed kind of quiet, quietly kept looking for the right bill to put it on, found it in Senate Bill 12.
We worked with Brandon Creighton to make sure that he positioned 12.
It's different in Texas than it is in the United States in that if you're going to pass legislation at the federal level on ice cream, you can't put something on it that has to do with bicycles.
Right.
They're not germane.
In Texas, our legislation, the amendment has to be absolutely germane to the bill.
And so we worked with Senator Creighton quietly behind the scenes to make sure that when the bill came over from the Senate,
it would.
So if that bill had come over from the Senate with
banning social transition of kids, they would have killed his bill.
They never would have let that bill onto the House floor.
Because
the rhino Republicans and the Democrats would have killed the bill in committee or they would have killed it in calendars and it never would have made it to the House floor.
So the bill came over, we, and I was able to put the amendment on it, and it passed.
Wow, it's crazy that in an overwhelmingly Republican legislature, it's that hard to ban something as transparently evil.
Evil, absolutely to the core, evil.
Destroying children, like just destroying them.
Yeah.
So last question.
i just want as a lover of texas and you know some with a lot of family in texas i go to texas a lot i always wonder if the people who run the state like drive around the state just look around because the last time i was in texas a couple months ago in dallas which a city i really love
dirty it's getting dirtier i mean it's just noticeable and i guess some people like did they notice that the state needs attention
honestly don't know i do people talk about that no not at all Uh-huh.
Not at all.
It's one of the reasons I dislike Crenshaw so intensely, it's like, do you notice that this is degrading?
Like the physical environment that you live in is not as nice as it was 10 years ago.
Like that's kind of a concern.
Should it not be?
The hardest part of Austin, Texas, and I believe Washington, D.C.
is pretty much the same thing.
The very first time I stepped into the Texas house, it was about a month before I was sworn in.
And I had never met any staffers, had never talked to anybody, no one knew who I was.
They said, representative, so good to see you.
Another person says, hey, representative, great to see you.
I hear you're a pastor.
I am too.
Hey, representative, you're in this business.
So, and it's, they start calling you a representative, right?
And it's like, they slowly, yeah, you know, they slowly pull you in.
And I'm telling you, your ego digs it.
totally digs it.
And after a while, you don't know who you are.
You don't know where you are you just know you want to be part of that
right oh of course and you become tone deaf
but since the legislature is in austin it's the prettiest legislative building in the country by far oh i know pink or granite is that right yeah um when i first went there more than 25 years ago to for work as a reporter I was like shocked by how beautiful it was, how cool it was.
It had just been restored.
And I was shocked by how great Austin was, the Driscoll Driscoll Hotel.
And yeah.
And then I went back years later and it's like, you didn't even, they're like homeless people sleeping in the vestibule of the of the Driscoll Hotel.
Sixth Street is dangerous.
Sixth Street is a mess.
But it was so cool.
So I'm not a Texan.
I'm just a perennial visitor.
And I noticed that.
I wonder the people who go to work at the Capitol building, do they notice that?
Do they talk about that?
Yeah, we actually have Texas, Austin has actually gotten a little bit cleaner because
we passed legislation banning that.
We said there are areas where you can't camp.
Right.
Why should you be able to camp on public land?
It's crazy.
But the problem is that
while we did that for Austin,
nothing's being done about Houston.
Nothing's being done about Dallas.
Nothing's being done about El Paso.
And so
it's, you know, it's kind of like putting makeup on.
But at the end of the day, there's still a lot of scars underneath the makeup that are being hidden in Texas.
But what's more important than how your constituents are living day to day?
I don't know what's more, I don't know why Ukraine or any other country is more important than that.
I don't either.
It's just, it's a lack of putting America first.
And I think people like to say America first.
They believe in America first, but what does that mean?
What the hell does that mean?
Just care about your own country more than any other country.
Yeah.
Well, Godspeed.
I really appreciate your coming.
And
the day that you beat Dan Crenshaw,
March 10th.
March 3rd.
March 3rd.
Well, maybe on March 10th, I'll call you to offer congratulations.
It'll just be a good day for America.
I mean, it'll just be, it'll just remind all of us that the system can still work.
It can.
It absolutely can.
Steve, thank you.
Thanks, Tucker.
We've got a new website we hope you will visit.
It's called newcommissionnow.com and it refers to a new 9-11 commission.
So we spent months putting together our 9-11 documentary series.
And if there's one thing we learned, it's that in fact there was foreknowledge of the attacks.
People knew.
The American public deserves to know.
We're shocked actually to learn that, to have that confirmed, but it's true.
The evidence is overwhelming.
The CIA, for example, knew the hijackers were here in the United States.
They knew they were planning an act of terror.
In his passport is a visa to go to the United States of America.
A foreign national was caught celebrating as the World Trade Center fell and later said he was in New York, quote, to document the event.
How did he know there would be an event to document in the first place?
Because he had foreknowledge.
And maybe most amazingly, somebody, an unknown investor, shorted American Airlines and United Airlines, the companies whose planes the attackers used used on 9-11, as well as the banks that were inside the Twin Towers just before the attacks.
They made money on the 9-11 attacks because they knew they were coming.
Who did that?
You have to look at the evidence.
The U.S.
government learned the name of that investor, but never released it.
Maybe there's an instant explanation for all this, but there isn't, actually.
And by the way, it doesn't matter whether there is or not.
The public deserves to know what the hell that was.
How did people know ahead of time?
Why was no one ever punished for it?
9-11 Commission, the original one, was a fraud.
It was fake.
Its conclusions were written before the investigation.
That's true, and it's outrageous.
This country needs a new 9-11 Commission, one that actually tells the truth and tries to get to the bottom of the story.
We can't just move on like nothing happened.
9-11 Commission is a cover.
Something did happen.
We need to force a new investigation into 9-11 almost 25 years later.
Sorry, justice demands it.
And if you want that, go to newcommissionnow.com to add your name to our petition.
We're not getting paid for this.
We're doing this because we really mean it.
