Charlie Kirk Today | Alex Marlow: May 28, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | May 28, 2026

We are proven correct.
00:00:08.898 --> 00:00:10.333
I mean, not to toot our own horn too much here, but
00:00:10.333 --> 00:00:13.069
It's a base turnout operation.
00:00:13.069 --> 00:00:15.939
That is what the midterms are.
00:00:15.939 --> 00:00:17.774
President trump got behind the is candidate
00:00:17.774 --> 00:00:20.510
And the grassroots candidate.
00:00:20.510 --> 00:00:21.711
Turning point action
00:00:21.711 --> 00:00:22.779
Was one of the first groups to endorse ken paxton,
00:00:22.779 --> 00:00:26.382
And it was a complete maga landslide.
00:00:26.382 --> 00:00:28.751
It really was.
00:00:28.751 --> 00:00:29.986
So happy third anniversary of his impeachment to ken paxton.
00:00:29.986 --> 00:00:34.491
Total vindication.
00:00:34.491 --> 00:00:36.025
I mean, what was the final tally here?
00:00:36.025 --> 00:00:37.927
It ended up
00:00:37.927 --> 00:00:39.062
I mean, what's incredible is we have john cornyn did
00:00:39.062 --> 00:00:41.364
A lot worse in round two than he did in round one.
00:00:41.364 --> 00:00:44.400
In round one, he won the first round 42% overall,
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:48.571
But he needed 50.
00:00:48.571 --> 00:00:49.739
So it went to a runoff.
00:00:49.739 --> 00:00:51.207
And in that runoff he only got 36% of the vote.
00:00:51.207 --> 00:00:55.545
Was it not a 30 point win?
00:00:55.545 --> 00:00:57.747
Basically, yeah.
00:00:57.747 --> 00:00:58.515
It was like 2760 3.8 to 36.2.
00:00:58.515 --> 00:01:03.019
That is that is getting routed.
00:01:03.019 --> 00:01:04.954
It looks like cornyn, won
00:01:04.954 --> 00:01:07.757
Exactly two counties in the whole state.
00:01:07.757 --> 00:01:10.927
Yeah.
00:01:10.927 --> 00:01:11.461
And it was, austin.
00:01:11.461 --> 00:01:12.629
They thought he was going to win dallas, but he didn't.
00:01:12.629 --> 00:01:14.898
And then they thought, austin ended up holding on.
00:01:14.898 --> 00:01:17.367
And then there was one tiny little county,
00:01:17.367 --> 00:01:18.868
One of the one of the
00:01:18.868 --> 00:01:19.836
Border area that reported, like 14 votes.
00:01:19.836 --> 00:01:22.338
Yeah, yeah, it was that pretty.
00:01:22.338 --> 00:01:23.907
It was a it's
00:01:23.907 --> 00:01:24.941
A very heavily democratic, just an absolute rout.
00:01:24.941 --> 00:01:27.844
And again, on the third anniversary of being impeached,
00:01:27.844 --> 00:01:31.848
Ken paxton experiences total vindication
00:01:31.848 --> 00:01:35.618
In this runoff with cornyn.
00:01:35.618 --> 00:01:38.021
But here's the interesting part.
00:01:38.021 --> 00:01:39.656
Blake and i were observing that
00:01:39.656 --> 00:01:41.224
There was over 2 million votes cast in the original primary.
00:01:41.224 --> 00:01:44.894
In the runoff.
00:01:44.894 --> 00:01:45.895
It was 1.3. yeah.
00:01:45.895 --> 00:01:47.230
I mean, if it was
00:01:47.230 --> 00:01:47.931
Extremely low turnout,
00:01:47.931 --> 00:01:49.699
Which is what we said was going to happen.
00:01:49.699 --> 00:01:51.901
So your vote in the base had a much bigger impact.
00:01:51.901 --> 00:01:55.071
Now, why is that important?
00:01:55.071 --> 00:01:57.040
Because as i said, this is a base
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:58.875
Turnout operations the midterms.
00:01:58.875 --> 00:02:01.044
You're not going to have president trump on the ballot.
00:02:01.044 --> 00:02:03.746
So you got to get your diehards out.
00:02:03.746 --> 00:02:05.949
You got to give them a reason to get to the polls.
00:02:05.949 --> 00:02:08.785
That reason is ken paxton.
00:02:08.785 --> 00:02:10.253
Now, why do i bring up the impeachment?
00:02:10.253 --> 00:02:13.356
Because that is already we saw it from cornyn,
00:02:13.356 --> 00:02:16.526
And now we see it from, from talarico.
00:02:16.526 --> 00:02:19.229
Tofu talarico as he will forever be known on this show.
00:02:19.229 --> 00:02:23.166
There's a lot of great nicknames
00:02:23.866 --> 00:02:25.168
Being floated around, by the way, tal frisco, soy boy.
00:02:25.168 --> 00:02:30.073
But i like tofu talarico.
00:02:30.073 --> 00:02:31.841
I maybe like 20 genders.
00:02:31.841 --> 00:02:33.076
Talarico i think he's a six gender guy.
00:02:33.076 --> 00:02:35.345
I think he said there's like an infinite number of sexes
00:02:35.345 --> 00:02:38.281
Or something like that. some.
00:02:38.281 --> 00:02:39.215
Some very large.
00:02:39.215 --> 00:02:40.049
None and everything in between.
00:02:40.049 --> 00:02:42.151
Okay, so here's here's what we're we're
00:02:42.151 --> 00:02:45.054
Already seeing the attack lines drawn.
00:02:45.054 --> 00:02:47.824
It is pretty obvious.
00:02:47.824 --> 00:02:49.492
But the i will tell you, the republicans
00:02:49.492 --> 00:02:52.262
Have a ton of ammunition against this guy.
00:02:52.262 --> 00:02:55.365
Let's just see. this is a taste.
00:02:55.365 --> 00:02:57.166
The first attack ad going against tofu talarico.
00:02:57.166 --> 00:03:00.069
Sorry, 17 prophetic voices like jesus have helped me
00:03:00.069 --> 00:03:02.805
Reckon with my own whiteness, my own masculinity.
00:03:02.805 --> 00:03:06.109
And it's a painful process.
00:03:06.109 --> 00:03:08.044
Sexism is a spectrum,
00:03:08.044 --> 00:03:09.779
And oftentimes it can be very ambiguous.
00:03:09.779 --> 00:03:11.714
God is both masculine and feminine and everything
00:03:11.714 --> 00:03:15.685
In between.
00:03:15.685 --> 00:03:16.686
God is non-binary, straight from revelation.
00:03:16.686 --> 00:03:20.023
In the woke james bible.
00:03:20.023 --> 00:03:21.791
I want us all to be aware of that.
00:03:21.791 --> 00:03:23.092
There are many more than two.
00:03:23.092 --> 00:03:25.428
Biological sex is in fact, there are six now existential
00:03:25.428 --> 00:03:28.398
That we try to reduce our meat consumption is the right thing
00:03:28.398 --> 00:03:32.402
To do and the moral thing to do it.
00:03:32.402 --> 00:03:33.903
The 11th commandment thou shalt not smoke brisket.
00:03:33.903 --> 00:03:37.907
I am proud to say that our campaign has officially
00:03:37.907 --> 00:03:41.444
Become a non-meat campaign.
00:03:41.444 --> 00:03:43.112
They're going to call me a radical leftist, un texan,
00:03:43.112 --> 00:03:46.683
Un-american, and bar none, the weirdest candidate
00:03:46.683 --> 00:03:50.186
For senate the lone star state has ever seen.
00:03:50.186 --> 00:03:53.222
When i was a kid in the 90s.
00:03:53.222 --> 00:03:54.657
They'd have these kids movies, and the narrator
00:03:54.657 --> 00:03:57.894
Sounds almost exactly the same. it's pretty fun.
00:03:57.894 --> 00:03:59.629
I mean, it's a pretty spot on ad.
00:03:59.629 --> 00:04:01.631
I just have to say, like, the guy is objectively
00:04:01.631 --> 00:04:04.734
Very weird.
00:04:04.734 --> 00:04:05.968
And even democrats are acknowledging this,
00:04:05.968 --> 00:04:08.404
Like, we're seeing cnn,
00:04:08.404 --> 00:04:09.772
You know, commentators say he's vulnerable because this
00:04:09.772 --> 00:04:13.509
I mean, listen, texas is not what it once was.
00:04:13.509 --> 00:04:16.913
Admittedly, there's been a lot of,
00:04:16.913 --> 00:04:19.115
You know, people flooding into the state,
00:04:19.115 --> 00:04:21.651
But there's still a lot of fighting that dog.
00:04:21.651 --> 00:04:23.619
And, i mean, you know, thou shalt not smoke brisket.
00:04:23.619 --> 00:04:26.589
That's a good laugh.
00:04:26.589 --> 00:04:27.156
That's.
00:04:27.156 --> 00:04:27.557
Yeah, that's
00:04:27.557 --> 00:04:28.624
Because you don't mess with texans and their meat.
00:04:28.624 --> 00:04:30.893
You just don't.
00:04:30.893 --> 00:04:31.694
But and the guy is wearing
00:04:31.694 --> 00:04:33.396
A mask in every other clip and it's just seems a lot.
00:04:33.396 --> 00:04:37.133
We should not be arrogant
00:04:37.133 --> 00:04:38.534
Because we've been through a few races where they've said,
00:04:38.534 --> 00:04:41.437
Oh, this state will never elect x, y, z.
00:04:41.437 --> 00:04:44.207
And, we kind of lucked out with pennsylvania
00:04:44.207 --> 00:04:46.342
Where we said they'd never elect fetterman.
00:04:46.342 --> 00:04:47.877
And they did.
00:04:47.877 --> 00:04:48.911
And fetterman ended up not being so bad.
00:04:48.911 --> 00:04:50.880
He had a stroke, and then he got better.
00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:52.648
Yeah, exactly.
00:04:52.648 --> 00:04:53.649
But, you know, talarico seems like a young guy.
00:04:53.649 --> 00:04:55.151
I don't
00:04:55.151 --> 00:04:56.052
He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy
00:04:56.052 --> 00:04:57.120
Who will get elected and then suddenly get amnesia.
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.622
Rico is the manifestation of what happens to an otherwise
00:04:59.622 --> 00:05:05.161
Like kind of normal guy when he goes through the woke
00:05:05.161 --> 00:05:09.098
Indoctrination regimen
00:05:09.098 --> 00:05:10.400
That the left wants for all american males.
00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:13.102
You come out spineless.
00:05:13.102 --> 00:05:15.171
Your masculinity is shriveled
00:05:15.171 --> 00:05:16.773
On the vine like you can't fight anybody.
00:05:16.773 --> 00:05:20.643
You couldn't defend a home.
00:05:20.643 --> 00:05:22.345
You end up twisting yourself into ideological knots
00:05:22.345 --> 00:05:25.815
To justify the most heinous things, including abortion,
00:05:25.815 --> 00:05:29.252
The training of kids, all of this stuff.
00:05:29.252 --> 00:05:32.188
And this to me, is the heart of the argument.
00:05:32.188 --> 00:05:35.558
Because you've got david french here.
00:05:35.558 --> 00:05:37.560
We've got this, this tweet.
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.295
He said, can we be done with the pretense
00:05:39.295 --> 00:05:41.597
That republican primary voters vote for maga candidates
00:05:41.597 --> 00:05:45.201
In spite of their apostasy and corruption?
00:05:45.201 --> 00:05:48.104
Obviously, he's talking about ken paxton.
00:05:48.104 --> 00:05:50.273
The transgressions is a feature, not a bug.
00:05:50.273 --> 00:05:53.342
It tells voters
00:05:53.709 --> 00:05:54.811
They don't care about law or morality, only power.
00:05:54.811 --> 00:05:57.580
So here's my question for you, david french.
00:05:57.580 --> 00:06:00.516
If i, as a voter,
00:06:00.516 --> 00:06:02.618
Am confronted with a binary choice
00:06:03.386 --> 00:06:05.955
Between ken paxton, who supports my values,
00:06:05.955 --> 00:06:08.791
Supports a closed border who's tough on crime,
00:06:08.791 --> 00:06:11.894
And all those things, supports traditional values,
00:06:11.894 --> 00:06:14.931
And we'll vote to support those.
00:06:14.931 --> 00:06:17.066
But he has, let's just say,
00:06:17.066 --> 00:06:19.669
A few bumps along the road.
00:06:19.669 --> 00:06:22.638
Morally, i'm not even making a values
00:06:22.638 --> 00:06:24.674
Judgment on that necessarily, or saying it's right or wrong
00:06:24.674 --> 00:06:27.276
Or saying that it's true or false.
00:06:27.276 --> 00:06:29.045
I'm just saying let's assume it is for a second.
00:06:29.045 --> 00:06:32.014
In my other choice is cornyn,
00:06:32.648 --> 00:06:35.084
Who wants to flood the country, who is pro amnesty,
00:06:35.084 --> 00:06:37.920
Or talarico, who wants to trans kids, wants to justify
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.890
Abortion, who wants to make a third world
00:06:40.890 --> 00:06:44.293
Hellhole out of dallas fort worth metroplex,
00:06:44.293 --> 00:06:48.097
Which is the moral judgment that i'm forced to make.
00:06:48.097 --> 00:06:51.067
If you're going to tell me that
00:06:51.067 --> 00:06:52.435
Ken paxton is somehow morally untoward, but talarico,
00:06:52.435 --> 00:06:56.105
Because he says it in a calm, beta male, let's remember
00:06:56.105 --> 00:07:00.309
David french basically called james talarico, i believe,
00:07:00.309 --> 00:07:03.145
The truest christian in american politics right now.
00:07:03.145 --> 00:07:05.982
Yeah, well, and that that is french in
00:07:05.982 --> 00:07:08.851
That is a frenchman way to do it.
00:07:08.851 --> 00:07:11.053
And it's very revolting.
00:07:11.053 --> 00:07:12.388
It's very disturbing because it's not like like
00:07:12.388 --> 00:07:15.124
Talarico really has made the whole i'm
00:07:15.124 --> 00:07:18.394
Super christian, aspiring minister
00:07:18.394 --> 00:07:20.863
Sort of persona a big part of his appeal.
00:07:20.863 --> 00:07:24.166
And the bible has some very explicit words
00:07:24.166 --> 00:07:26.936
About what should happen to those
00:07:26.936 --> 00:07:28.337
Who want to harm children, which he wants to.
00:07:28.337 --> 00:07:31.073
He's the guy who goes on podcast and says,
00:07:31.073 --> 00:07:33.409
What do i love most? trans children?
00:07:33.409 --> 00:07:35.144
That's what i love.
00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:36.746
Yeah, bible has very specific words for that sort of person.
00:07:36.746 --> 00:07:39.515
I mean, this is just wild.
00:07:39.515 --> 00:07:40.917
Like he i mean, we're running out of time here, but this is,
00:07:40.917 --> 00:07:46.489
Place that 20.
00:07:46.822 --> 00:07:47.924
Something that you love that's not family or friends.
00:07:47.924 --> 00:07:52.295
I love and say this because it's on my mind.
00:07:53.229 --> 00:07:56.899
The trans children who showed up yesterday
00:07:56.899 --> 00:08:00.770
At the state capitol to advocate for their humanity.
00:08:00.770 --> 00:08:03.673
They shouldn't have to, but it was an inspiration to watch
00:08:03.673 --> 00:08:06.642
First thing he said or say loves is trans children.
00:08:06.642 --> 00:08:09.445
First thing.
00:08:09.445 --> 00:08:10.246
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
00:08:10.246 --> 00:08:14.007
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
00:08:14.007 --> 00:08:19.623
We have to keep hitting jamestown.
00:08:20.357 --> 00:08:23.327
We go oh, it's pretty easy to tofu talarico.
00:08:23.327 --> 00:08:26.396
The terrible talarico.
00:08:26.396 --> 00:08:27.931
Talarico the terrible.
00:08:27.931 --> 00:08:29.800
What was weird?
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:30.801
Al rico the twerp. rico the tires.
00:08:30.801 --> 00:08:33.036
He's just strange, you know?
00:08:33.036 --> 00:08:34.304
And and you might think that this sounds mean.
00:08:34.304 --> 00:08:36.940
And i don't mean to be mean, but i just mean to be honest
00:08:36.940 --> 00:08:40.077
With you. and i think that's what the audience needs.
00:08:40.077 --> 00:08:42.546
They need to understand.
00:08:42.546 --> 00:08:43.981
I'm not trying to be,
00:08:43.981 --> 00:08:46.083
You know, sling pejorative is out of him.
00:08:46.083 --> 00:08:48.852
It's just it needs to be said.
00:08:48.852 --> 00:08:50.721
I am this way.
00:08:50.721 --> 00:08:51.955
Well, blake like, as his own, his own approach here.
00:08:51.955 --> 00:08:55.025
But let's just play like this is him
00:08:55.025 --> 00:08:57.260
Justifying the murder of babies.
00:08:57.260 --> 00:08:58.895
This is serious stuff.
00:08:58.895 --> 00:09:00.263
That 19 failed this in terms in context of abortion.
00:09:00.263 --> 00:09:03.133
Because before god, comes over
00:09:03.133 --> 00:09:07.904
Mary and and we have the incarnation.
00:09:07.904 --> 00:09:11.008
God asks for mary's consent
00:09:11.608 --> 00:09:14.344
And she says, if it is god's will, let it be done.
00:09:14.344 --> 00:09:17.180
Let it be.
00:09:17.180 --> 00:09:18.181
Let it happen.
00:09:18.181 --> 00:09:19.282
So to me,
00:09:19.282 --> 00:09:20.484
That is an affirmation in one of our most central stories
00:09:20.484 --> 00:09:23.353
That creation has to be done with consent.
00:09:23.353 --> 00:09:26.590
You cannot force someone to create.
00:09:26.590 --> 00:09:28.225
Creation is one of the most sacred acts
00:09:28.225 --> 00:09:30.394
That that, that we engage in as human beings.
00:09:30.394 --> 00:09:33.964
But that has to be done with consent.
00:09:33.964 --> 00:09:35.532
It has to be done with freedom.
00:09:35.532 --> 00:09:37.000
And so that's why i that's how i come
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.369
Down on that side of the issue.
00:09:39.369 --> 00:09:40.604
This just is
00:09:40.604 --> 00:09:41.838
Vastly more bothersome than if you just have some atheist
00:09:41.838 --> 00:09:45.008
Marxist come out and they say, we love abortion
00:09:45.008 --> 00:09:47.177
Because we're materialists and all that
00:09:47.177 --> 00:09:49.146
Very evil, very wrong.
00:09:49.146 --> 00:09:50.614
But you kind of know what you're getting with
00:09:50.614 --> 00:09:52.416
The territory.
00:09:52.416 --> 00:09:53.350
This is a person who is lying about what
00:09:53.350 --> 00:09:57.688
Christianity teaches, what christianity has always taught.
00:09:57.688 --> 00:10:01.024
The earliest christians, if you go read the didache
00:10:01.024 --> 00:10:04.461
From the first century, where christians
00:10:04.461 --> 00:10:06.530
Are telling each other, here's what we believe.
00:10:06.530 --> 00:10:08.432
They condemn abortion. yeah.
00:10:08.432 --> 00:10:09.833
And he comes in
00:10:09.833 --> 00:10:10.901
And he tells this line, says, actually,
00:10:10.901 --> 00:10:12.903
Christians should support abortion.
00:10:12.903 --> 00:10:14.404
That is a monstrous evil.
00:10:14.404 --> 00:10:16.306
Yeah, it's twisting scripture
00:10:16.306 --> 00:10:17.774
To suit your itching ears and whatever you want to hear.
00:10:17.774 --> 00:10:21.311
And the other thing to your point, blake,
00:10:21.311 --> 00:10:23.580
You're right about the roman empire.
00:10:23.580 --> 00:10:25.215
They it was infanticide was rampant
00:10:25.215 --> 00:10:27.350
Within the roman empire. why did that stop?
00:10:27.350 --> 00:10:29.086
It was because christians stopped it.
00:10:29.086 --> 00:10:30.921
They used to just leave babies out to exposure,
00:10:30.921 --> 00:10:34.191
To kill babies.
00:10:34.191 --> 00:10:35.492
And the christians stopped it.
00:10:35.492 --> 00:10:36.793
They would save these babies.
00:10:36.793 --> 00:10:38.161
And ultimately, the christian is ation of the roman empire.
00:10:38.161 --> 00:10:41.031
The practiced
00:10:41.031 --> 00:10:41.832
Roman man would not have a child.
00:10:41.832 --> 00:10:43.533
He would accept a child that his wife
00:10:43.533 --> 00:10:45.802
Would give birth to it. and he had the choice.
00:10:45.802 --> 00:10:47.871
He could say, kill it right now or we can raise it.
00:10:47.871 --> 00:10:50.640
And that was the choice.
00:10:50.640 --> 00:10:51.475
He was allowed to make 100% legal.
00:10:51.475 --> 00:10:52.876
Well, and he's even, chipping away
00:10:52.876 --> 00:10:55.278
At the exclusivity claims of jesus christ.
00:10:55.278 --> 00:10:57.681
I am the way, the truth and the life.
00:10:57.681 --> 00:10:59.082
No one will come to the father except through me.
00:10:59.082 --> 00:11:01.451
Well, that that we have in scripture, right?
00:11:01.451 --> 00:11:03.820
But james tyler, ego doesn't believe that.
00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:06.289
Here's him talking about all the religions of love
00:11:06.289 --> 00:11:09.559
Lead to truth.
00:11:09.893 --> 00:11:10.894
18 if christianity points to the truth,
00:11:10.894 --> 00:11:13.764
I also think other religions of love point to the same truth.
00:11:13.764 --> 00:11:16.933
I think of different religious
00:11:16.933 --> 00:11:18.135
Traditions as different languages.
00:11:18.135 --> 00:11:20.036
So you and i could sit here and debate
00:11:20.036 --> 00:11:21.772
What to call this couple, and you could call it a cup
00:11:21.772 --> 00:11:24.207
In english.
00:11:24.207 --> 00:11:25.375
You'd call something else in spanish, german and french.
00:11:25.375 --> 00:11:27.611
But we are all talking about the same reality.
00:11:27.611 --> 00:11:29.813
I believe jesus christ reveals that reality to us,
00:11:29.813 --> 00:11:32.682
But i also think that
00:11:32.682 --> 00:11:33.817
Other traditions reveal that reality in their own ways,
00:11:33.817 --> 00:11:36.753
With their own simple structures.
00:11:36.753 --> 00:11:38.255
And i've learned more about my tradition
00:11:38.255 --> 00:11:40.690
By learning more about buddhism and hinduism
00:11:40.690 --> 00:11:43.326
And islam and judaism.
00:11:43.326 --> 00:11:44.895
And so i see these beautiful
00:11:44.895 --> 00:11:46.496
Faith traditions as circling the same truth
00:11:46.496 --> 00:11:49.232
About the universe, about the cosmos,
00:11:49.232 --> 00:11:51.034
And that truth is inherently a mystery.
00:11:51.034 --> 00:11:54.104
I do not consider islam a religion of love.
00:11:55.038 --> 00:11:58.108
I believe it's a conquering political ideology
00:11:58.108 --> 00:12:00.911
That has a backdrop and a foundation that is
00:12:00.911 --> 00:12:04.681
Considered a religion.
00:12:04.681 --> 00:12:05.682
But i don't believe it's true.
00:12:05.682 --> 00:12:07.317
I don't believe it points to the truth.
00:12:07.317 --> 00:12:09.219
The fact that he does
00:12:09.219 --> 00:12:11.822
Is extraordinarily
00:12:11.822 --> 00:12:14.491
Troublesome.
00:12:14.491 --> 00:12:15.725
And i would agree with blake that it's evil
00:12:15.725 --> 00:12:17.961
To be twisting scriptures like this.
00:12:17.961 --> 00:12:20.997
Let's just keep going.
00:12:20.997 --> 00:12:22.098
Here's a hymn giving a sermon
00:12:22.098 --> 00:12:24.901
About abortion again and really low.
00:12:24.901 --> 00:12:28.238
He's got a really like, you know, and trance,
00:12:28.238 --> 00:12:30.273
He's really obsessed with these two topics.
00:12:30.273 --> 00:12:32.108
So that 24 before we go further,
00:12:32.108 --> 00:12:34.010
I want to acknowledge
00:12:34.010 --> 00:12:35.178
That our trans community needs abortion care to
00:12:35.178 --> 00:12:38.515
Defending trans texans is something
00:12:39.282 --> 00:12:41.184
We have to do every day at the state capitol.
00:12:41.184 --> 00:12:44.120
And you better believe i'll be giving sermons on that to.
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.523
So when i use the word woman, it should not be understood
00:12:47.691 --> 00:12:50.327
As an exhaustive term, but rather as a as a lens through
00:12:50.327 --> 00:12:54.431
Which to understand, examine, and interrogate patriarchy.
00:12:54.431 --> 00:12:58.935
It's like you should not hear women
00:12:58.935 --> 00:13:01.137
As an exhaustive term until it's a lens. women.
00:13:01.137 --> 00:13:03.640
Do you feel like you're a lens through which
00:13:03.640 --> 00:13:05.275
To view your existence through, or are you just a woman?
00:13:05.275 --> 00:13:08.845
Are you an x, x?
00:13:08.845 --> 00:13:10.947
Did god make you a woman or a man?
00:13:10.947 --> 00:13:13.416
Like this is terrifying stuff.
00:13:13.416 --> 00:13:15.785
This is what i mean when i say he is a manifestation
00:13:15.785 --> 00:13:19.155
Of everything. the left wants.
00:13:19.155 --> 00:13:21.758
Indoctrinated in one brain of an otherwise normal person,
00:13:21.758 --> 00:13:25.562
This man fears a mob of people on blue sky vastly more than
00:13:25.562 --> 00:13:29.165
He fears god.
00:13:29.165 --> 00:13:31.968
That's well said.
00:13:32.402 --> 00:13:33.603
Yeah.
00:13:33.603 --> 00:13:36.473
It keeps going, folks. we've got more.
00:13:34.471 --> 00:13:38.341
There's so many clips of james howell rico
00:13:38.341 --> 00:13:41.611
Basically mask off, even though he loves
00:13:41.611 --> 00:13:43.413
Wearing a mask, telling you exactly who he is.
00:13:43.413 --> 00:13:46.249
And i've said it before, and i'll say it again
00:13:46.249 --> 00:13:48.151
When somebody shows you who they are, believe them.
00:13:48.151 --> 00:13:51.521
It's not 25.
00:13:51.855 --> 00:13:52.756
I often think when reclaiming symbols,
00:13:52.756 --> 00:13:54.557
I think about the american flag.
00:13:54.557 --> 00:13:56.159
I think the confederate flag
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:57.160
Is a symbol of treason and terrorism.
00:13:57.160 --> 00:13:59.329
But the american flag
00:13:59.329 --> 00:14:01.031
Is such a complicated symbol
00:14:01.031 --> 00:14:02.299
For most of us, and in many ways, like jesus,
00:14:02.299 --> 00:14:04.467
Like the cross, it's been co-opted and, and,
00:14:04.467 --> 00:14:08.305
And, and, and in some ways, it's true
00:14:08.305 --> 00:14:11.474
Meaning has been betrayed.
00:14:11.474 --> 00:14:12.609
Okay. so the flag's a problem too.
00:14:12.609 --> 00:14:14.844
Okay. gotcha.
00:14:14.844 --> 00:14:16.179
And also he,
00:14:16.179 --> 00:14:19.749
Has to reckon with his own whiteness.
00:14:20.483 --> 00:14:23.219
29 for me, prophetic voices
00:14:23.219 --> 00:14:25.388
Like jesus have helped me reckon with my own whiteness,
00:14:25.388 --> 00:14:28.558
My own masculinity, my own certainty, my own ego.
00:14:28.558 --> 00:14:33.330
It's a never ending process, and it's a painful process.
00:14:33.330 --> 00:14:37.000
And then there's back to the gender thing.
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.502
How many genders are there, james?
00:14:39.502 --> 00:14:41.671
He's not sure. or maybe he is.
00:14:41.671 --> 00:14:43.606
It's not 30
00:14:43.606 --> 00:14:44.808
I want us all to be aware of is that that modern science
00:14:44.808 --> 00:14:48.144
Obviously recognizes that there are many more than two.
00:14:48.144 --> 00:14:51.915
Biological sex is in fact, there are six
00:14:51.915 --> 00:14:55.285
We can laugh at the sky all we want,
00:14:55.285 --> 00:14:56.786
But texas is a red state.
00:14:56.786 --> 00:14:57.887
It's consistently voted republican,
00:14:57.887 --> 00:14:59.589
But it's one of the shakier red states overall.
00:14:59.589 --> 00:15:03.126
President trump won it big in this last election,
00:15:03.126 --> 00:15:05.462
But he won it by less in 2020 and 2016.
00:15:05.462 --> 00:15:08.098
They will spend tens, hundreds of millions of dollars
00:15:08.098 --> 00:15:11.468
On this race.
00:15:11.468 --> 00:15:12.369
They would love to humiliate us.
00:15:12.369 --> 00:15:14.070
So we should laugh at him
00:15:14.070 --> 00:15:15.271
Because he is a laughable and pathetic figure.
00:15:15.271 --> 00:15:17.607
But we do have to take this very seriously.
00:15:17.607 --> 00:15:19.542
Well, they're already giving him
00:15:19.542 --> 00:15:20.877
The full battered treatment.
00:15:20.877 --> 00:15:22.145
He's even posing for photo shoots the same way beto did.
00:15:22.145 --> 00:15:26.316
But honestly,
00:15:26.316 --> 00:15:27.384
I think in many ways beta was a better candidate.
00:15:27.384 --> 00:15:29.352
But to your point, i think we should not take it lightly.
00:15:29.352 --> 00:15:32.956
We should take it very seriously.
00:15:32.956 --> 00:15:37.006
We should take it very seriously.
00:15:37.006 --> 00:15:42.334
We have
00:15:42.567 --> 00:15:43.435
One of the most competent, insightful
00:15:43.435 --> 00:15:46.872
Political analysts in the country joining us now.
00:15:46.872 --> 00:15:50.075
And that, of course, is
00:15:50.075 --> 00:15:51.043
Alex marlow, editor in chief of breitbart
00:15:51.043 --> 00:15:53.612
And also host of the alex marlow show.
00:15:53.612 --> 00:15:56.281
Great to be on andrew.
00:15:56.281 --> 00:15:57.582
Thank you blake, nice to see you.
00:15:57.582 --> 00:15:59.251
It was a maga landslide.
00:15:59.251 --> 00:16:01.586
I think it's safe to say that sometimes
00:16:01.586 --> 00:16:03.188
You can make too much of the maga versus america.
00:16:03.188 --> 00:16:05.323
First of it all, it was a maga landslide last night.
00:16:05.323 --> 00:16:08.493
We've got a lot to get into with you, alex,
00:16:08.493 --> 00:16:11.329
But got to start there
00:16:11.329 --> 00:16:12.597
Because it's the number one story in the country today.
00:16:12.597 --> 00:16:16.068
What are the right takeaways from last night
00:16:16.068 --> 00:16:19.738
And what would be the wrong takeaways from last night?
00:16:19.738 --> 00:16:23.141
So i think the right one is what you said.
00:16:23.141 --> 00:16:25.077
Trump's in command of the party.
00:16:25.077 --> 00:16:26.678
The trump endorsement certainly sealed the deal.
00:16:26.678 --> 00:16:28.513
But i think looking at the margin,
00:16:28.513 --> 00:16:29.981
There are people
00:16:29.981 --> 00:16:30.582
Who are asking me
00:16:30.582 --> 00:16:31.650
Who are pretty knowledgeable
00:16:31.650 --> 00:16:32.617
And do they pay attention to this stuff?
00:16:32.617 --> 00:16:34.286
They're asking me pretty late in the day yesterday.
00:16:34.286 --> 00:16:35.921
Does cornyn actually have a chance?
00:16:35.921 --> 00:16:37.289
I said, [****] nah, he absolutely does not.
00:16:37.289 --> 00:16:39.858
He's going to lose by a lot.
00:16:39.858 --> 00:16:41.026
And i think part of it is because the base is so much
00:16:41.026 --> 00:16:45.163
Smarter than people give them credit for,
00:16:45.163 --> 00:16:47.165
And this is something that i learned very early on right
00:16:47.165 --> 00:16:49.734
Past news.
00:16:49.734 --> 00:16:50.635
I remember i started a breitbart first
00:16:50.635 --> 00:16:51.470
Employee, so almost 18 years ago.
00:16:51.470 --> 00:16:53.672
It's the audience is super smart.
00:16:53.672 --> 00:16:55.740
They know who's real and who's fake.
00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:57.909
I think we saw that last week with massey.
00:16:57.909 --> 00:16:59.511
Too many people start to think he was fake.
00:16:59.511 --> 00:17:01.213
People know
00:17:01.213 --> 00:17:02.314
Ken paxton is the real deal and john cornyn is not.
00:17:02.314 --> 00:17:04.583
Ken paxton is a fighter.
00:17:04.583 --> 00:17:06.017
He is pursued. he's pushed the agenda.
00:17:06.017 --> 00:17:08.520
He's a thermostat. he's not a thermometer.
00:17:08.520 --> 00:17:10.822
He's someone who adjusts the temperature.
00:17:10.822 --> 00:17:12.757
Gone after netflix, gone
00:17:12.757 --> 00:17:14.092
After media, gone after google, gone after pharma.
00:17:14.092 --> 00:17:16.928
A great guy in the border, great guy and guns.
00:17:16.928 --> 00:17:20.065
But he's a really savvy politician.
00:17:20.065 --> 00:17:22.501
And we talked about this i think last time we were on.
00:17:22.501 --> 00:17:24.302
But the way he got trump's endorsement
00:17:24.302 --> 00:17:26.171
By backing cornyn to a corner and saying,
00:17:26.171 --> 00:17:27.939
You get the savak gun and i'll drop out.
00:17:27.939 --> 00:17:30.275
Cornyn couldn't pull that off.
00:17:30.275 --> 00:17:31.710
That got the trump endorsement totally genius.
00:17:31.710 --> 00:17:34.312
He's going to crush talarico,
00:17:34.312 --> 00:17:35.714
And we're going to be celebrating in november.
00:17:35.714 --> 00:17:37.349
Talarico, we had a lot of fun.
00:17:37.349 --> 00:17:39.484
Destroying him,
00:17:39.851 --> 00:17:41.052
As you should one honestly, as you said,
00:17:41.052 --> 00:17:43.755
You know, he is a heretic, actually,
00:17:43.755 --> 00:17:46.358
Which i don't say lightly, but he i mean, i just don't.
00:17:46.358 --> 00:17:50.529
I've been wrestling with, you know.
00:17:50.529 --> 00:17:52.030
Okay, put it this way.
00:17:52.030 --> 00:17:53.932
I don't like to,
00:17:53.932 --> 00:17:57.035
I don't know, basically ascribe motive to certain things.
00:17:57.035 --> 00:18:00.105
I don't like to ascribe malice to certain things.
00:18:00.105 --> 00:18:02.440
If i don't know for sure.
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:05.043
I cannot watch those clips in quick succession
00:18:05.043 --> 00:18:08.280
Like we did in our one, and not conclude
00:18:08.280 --> 00:18:10.615
Fundamentally that he is a heretic.
00:18:10.615 --> 00:18:13.485
Do you agree?
00:18:13.852 --> 00:18:14.386
Am i being too harsh?
00:18:14.386 --> 00:18:15.887
No, i think you're being right.
00:18:15.887 --> 00:18:17.055
And i found a new data point while i was going through
00:18:17.055 --> 00:18:19.824
My show earlier today because i was playing.
00:18:19.824 --> 00:18:22.060
Of course, the clip
00:18:22.060 --> 00:18:22.994
That we've all played before of him
00:18:22.994 --> 00:18:24.930
Using the bible in the story of the virgin mary in particular
00:18:24.930 --> 00:18:27.732
To justify abortion, which already is pretty demonic
00:18:27.732 --> 00:18:30.335
In and of itself.
00:18:30.335 --> 00:18:31.269
But then
00:18:31.269 --> 00:18:31.836
There was another thing
00:18:31.836 --> 00:18:32.871
Where he was talking about his vegan campaign,
00:18:32.871 --> 00:18:34.773
And he was saying
00:18:34.773 --> 00:18:35.540
He doesn't want a vegan campaign,
00:18:35.540 --> 00:18:37.676
Not because he doesn't believe in animal cruelty,
00:18:37.676 --> 00:18:39.978
But because he believes climate change.
00:18:39.978 --> 00:18:42.380
And i was just starting to think about like,
00:18:42.380 --> 00:18:44.049
Wait a minute,
00:18:44.049 --> 00:18:45.150
There was actually a chance for him to maybe draw
00:18:45.150 --> 00:18:46.451
On biblical principles to try to offer
00:18:46.451 --> 00:18:48.887
Some sort of strange left wing agenda.
00:18:48.887 --> 00:18:50.789
And he he really made it about the climate
00:18:50.789 --> 00:18:53.258
He made about the false pagan god of climate change.
00:18:53.258 --> 00:18:56.461
And it makes
00:18:56.461 --> 00:18:57.629
You think that he really, truly is just a manipulator.
00:18:57.629 --> 00:19:00.065
And i don't think texans
00:19:00.065 --> 00:19:01.266
Are going to have any tolerance for this stuff.
00:19:01.266 --> 00:19:03.268
A guy who thumps the bible to push a left wing agenda,
00:19:03.268 --> 00:19:06.471
But then doesn't seem
00:19:06.471 --> 00:19:07.672
To actually understand the key tenants of
00:19:07.672 --> 00:19:10.542
Christianity itself.
00:19:10.542 --> 00:19:11.710
I think this is really going
00:19:11.710 --> 00:19:13.044
To come out over the next few months.
00:19:13.044 --> 00:19:14.379
Yeah, i completely agree.
00:19:14.379 --> 00:19:16.014
And he's just such a peter, can we do we have that,
00:19:16.014 --> 00:19:19.718
That side by side between, barto and talarico?
00:19:19.718 --> 00:19:24.256
We have that right, guys. there it is.
00:19:24.256 --> 00:19:26.391
He's even doing the same.
00:19:26.391 --> 00:19:27.926
He's doing the, like, same posts.
00:19:27.926 --> 00:19:30.395
But i think vito is a better candidate.
00:19:30.395 --> 00:19:32.397
Honestly, he had it like a something like.
00:19:32.397 --> 00:19:34.833
I'll give him that. right.
00:19:34.833 --> 00:19:35.834
He was the fake hispanic irishman named vito.
00:19:35.834 --> 00:19:38.737
It was just so perfect that we had this 100%
00:19:38.737 --> 00:19:41.940
Anglo background guy,
00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:43.108
Robert francis, who goes by vito running against.
00:19:43.108 --> 00:19:45.810
Yeah.
00:19:45.810 --> 00:19:46.645
You know, rafael cruz goes by ted.
00:19:46.645 --> 00:19:48.780
I just think that perfectly captures the two parties. yeah.
00:19:48.780 --> 00:19:51.383
And so, a lot has been made about the moral, quote
00:19:51.383 --> 00:19:55.186
Unquote, moral failings of ken paxton.
00:19:55.186 --> 00:19:58.990
And, you know, you got david french excoriating him
00:19:58.990 --> 00:20:02.560
And saying, you know, conservatives
00:20:02.560 --> 00:20:03.995
Don't care about
00:20:03.995 --> 00:20:05.063
The morality of their of their elected leaders.
00:20:05.063 --> 00:20:07.899
What do you make with those attacks?
00:20:07.899 --> 00:20:09.634
Because that's the same attack line that john cornyn took.
00:20:09.634 --> 00:20:12.604
It's going to be the same attack line that.
00:20:12.604 --> 00:20:14.372
Yeah, that talarico takes.
00:20:14.372 --> 00:20:16.241
What's your answer to that?
00:20:16.241 --> 00:20:17.709
Yeah, i think there's probably some stuff.
00:20:18.610 --> 00:20:20.178
If you really want to pass through paxton's history,
00:20:20.178 --> 00:20:22.914
That's imperfect, but you could do the same
00:20:22.914 --> 00:20:24.549
With so many people, donald trump being one of them.
00:20:24.549 --> 00:20:27.385
And i think ultimately
00:20:27.385 --> 00:20:28.720
A lot of people who are going to be voting,
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:30.588
They're gonna be looking at the future.
00:20:30.588 --> 00:20:32.057
And do you want to have a guy who is this
00:20:32.057 --> 00:20:35.060
Baiter at breitbart?
00:20:35.060 --> 00:20:36.194
This is
00:20:36.194 --> 00:20:36.861
I don't think i've ever said
00:20:36.861 --> 00:20:37.862
This specifically, but we've stylize it now.
00:20:37.862 --> 00:20:39.931
My newsroom has permission not to capitalize
00:20:39.931 --> 00:20:42.500
The t in talarico.
00:20:42.500 --> 00:20:43.568
It can be lo t all the time.
00:20:43.568 --> 00:20:45.937
They can always use lo t. they are free to do that.
00:20:45.937 --> 00:20:48.039
That is site style.
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:49.207
So there's news here on the show
00:20:49.207 --> 00:20:50.408
That you guys can hear about.
00:20:50.408 --> 00:20:51.543
It's the i think the people are willing
00:20:51.543 --> 00:20:53.712
To forgive paxton for any past injuries i get.
00:20:53.712 --> 00:20:56.448
To be honest, the
00:20:56.448 --> 00:20:57.115
I haven't gone through them
00:20:57.115 --> 00:20:58.350
To the extent
00:20:58.350 --> 00:20:59.050
Where i know
00:20:59.050 --> 00:21:00.352
If the court of public opinion has been accurate
00:21:00.352 --> 00:21:02.320
And then convicting him of this stuff.
00:21:02.320 --> 00:21:04.389
But i do think that
00:21:04.389 --> 00:21:05.557
When he gets to washington, he's going to be a leader.
00:21:05.557 --> 00:21:07.192
He's going to fight the bad
00:21:07.192 --> 00:21:07.959
Guys, he's
00:21:07.959 --> 00:21:08.760
Going to fight the corporations, he's
00:21:08.760 --> 00:21:09.828
Going to fight the establishment.
00:21:09.828 --> 00:21:11.196
And i just think the voter base of texas
00:21:11.196 --> 00:21:13.832
Is going to be very excited for that. by november.
00:21:13.832 --> 00:21:16.101
I mean, i believe that paxton
00:21:16.101 --> 00:21:17.969
Would have won without trump's endorsement.
00:21:17.969 --> 00:21:20.472
I really i believe that do you agree?
00:21:20.472 --> 00:21:23.475
And what what does that mean, if true?
00:21:23.475 --> 00:21:25.910
I think he probably would have if trump did not endorse.
00:21:27.011 --> 00:21:30.281
And i got to think a little harder about it.
00:21:30.281 --> 00:21:32.751
If trump chose to endorse cornyn,
00:21:32.751 --> 00:21:35.220
Could he have overcome it?
00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:36.554
And i do think there is a possibility,
00:21:36.554 --> 00:21:38.223
Which is why your question is so interesting,
00:21:38.223 --> 00:21:39.891
Because, again,
00:21:39.891 --> 00:21:40.792
I think that people
00:21:40.792 --> 00:21:41.893
Are so fed up with the fact that cornyn, 24 years
00:21:41.893 --> 00:21:45.296
In the senate
00:21:45.296 --> 00:21:46.231
And can't point to a single accomplishment
00:21:46.231 --> 00:21:48.099
And none of you can, there's none of you
00:21:48.099 --> 00:21:49.200
In the audience who can think of one thing.
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:51.202
And please, look me up on the everything app.
00:21:51.202 --> 00:21:54.072
Dm me if there's something that cornyn did.
00:21:54.072 --> 00:21:56.641
I got one that i. okay. go ahead.
00:21:56.641 --> 00:21:59.110
He raised $400 million for the, senate.
00:21:59.110 --> 00:22:03.615
Then he spent 150 on his own race.
00:22:04.382 --> 00:22:07.385
Yeah, and it's on fire.
00:22:07.886 --> 00:22:10.622
You wanna know something, andrew?
00:22:10.622 --> 00:22:11.523
I bet you john cornyn knows that.
00:22:11.523 --> 00:22:13.291
I bet you if you asked john cornyn,
00:22:13.291 --> 00:22:15.894
What's your favorite thing?
00:22:15.894 --> 00:22:17.162
He said, yeah, i probably could more my time quarter century.
00:22:17.162 --> 00:22:21.099
So it's the if you pay the million in private.
00:22:21.099 --> 00:22:23.802
And i think that's the main thing that's at work here.
00:22:23.802 --> 00:22:26.171
I think, the audience gets it.
00:22:26.171 --> 00:22:27.839
People are dialed in now. people are smart.
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:29.607
People pay attention.
00:22:29.607 --> 00:22:30.742
And i think they understand that.
00:22:30.742 --> 00:22:32.010
So, i do think trump's values are in command,
00:22:32.010 --> 00:22:35.580
And i think that's very good.
00:22:35.580 --> 00:22:36.714
I think trump's mosaic, where he picks
00:22:36.714 --> 00:22:38.750
And chooses the best ideas from democrats of yesteryear,
00:22:38.750 --> 00:22:41.319
From populous, and even occasionally the establishment.
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.589
He seemed to take everyone's best ideas.
00:22:44.589 --> 00:22:46.224
I think that's the, ascendant political worldview right now
00:22:46.224 --> 00:22:49.527
On the right.
00:22:49.527 --> 00:22:50.762
It's and again you tell me your doesn't stand for anything.
00:22:50.762 --> 00:22:51.996
What does he stand for.
00:22:51.996 --> 00:22:53.598
This is the whole point.
00:22:53.598 --> 00:22:54.632
This is the democrat the elephant in the room.
00:22:54.632 --> 00:22:56.167
They've got the weirdest people imaginable.
00:22:56.167 --> 00:22:57.836
They got us on piker, graham plattner, james talarico
00:22:57.836 --> 00:23:00.505
That's the face of the party. and what do they stand for?
00:23:00.505 --> 00:23:02.640
Calling people like me and you racist.
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:04.409
They they can't disavow their streak of political violence.
00:23:04.409 --> 00:23:07.679
It is really going to be a tough slog for them.
00:23:07.679 --> 00:23:10.381
They've got a map that could maybe save them.
00:23:10.381 --> 00:23:12.750
And maybe some of trump's policies
00:23:12.750 --> 00:23:14.118
Are not totally popular yet.
00:23:14.118 --> 00:23:15.720
But overall, they're really putting together
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.622
A pretty lame slate for a midterm year.
00:23:17.622 --> 00:23:19.190
Alex marlow host the alex
00:23:19.190 --> 00:23:20.625
Marlowe show and editor in chief of breitbart.
00:23:20.625 --> 00:23:22.827
Thank you, my friend. we'll see you soon.
00:23:22.827 --> 00:23:22.827
