Charlie Kirk Today | Chip Roy: February 25, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | February 25, 2026
  • I am in dc.
  • 00:00:09.824 --> 00:00:11.225
  • I was graciously invited to attend the state
  • 00:00:11.225 --> 00:00:13.894
  • Of the union by representative andy ogles, and, i'm.
  • 00:00:13.894 --> 00:00:17.898
  • So i'm here in town.
  • 00:00:17.898 --> 00:00:18.833
  • I got a lot of a lot of busy stuff today
  • 00:00:18.833 --> 00:00:20.968
  • Ahead of me, but the the show must come first.
  • 00:00:20.968 --> 00:00:24.638
  • And, blake, unfortunately, there is a clip
  • 00:00:24.638 --> 00:00:29.677
  • That it really broke my heart to see it, actually.
  • 00:00:29.677 --> 00:00:32.680
  • And we have to keep hitting this topic.
  • 00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:34.615
  • It's a terrible topic to talk about.
  • 00:00:34.615 --> 00:00:36.383
  • Actually, it's
  • 00:00:36.383 --> 00:00:37.485
  • My least favorite topic to talk about what we have to.
  • 00:00:37.485 --> 00:00:39.987
  • And, it was president trump, something he said yesterday
  • 00:00:39.987 --> 00:00:43.057
  • At the white house.
  • 00:00:43.057 --> 00:00:44.558
  • And, it's the rise of assassination culture.
  • 00:00:44.558 --> 00:00:47.495
  • And we just we have to we have to do it.
  • 00:00:47.495 --> 00:00:49.697
  • We have to address it.
  • 00:00:49.697 --> 00:00:51.031
  • So let's get right into it.
  • 00:00:51.031 --> 00:00:52.533
  • 368 i don't know how long i'll be around.
  • 00:00:52.533 --> 00:00:56.470
  • A lot of people gunning for me don't.
  • 00:00:57.204 --> 00:00:59.607
  • I had to, but i will.
  • 00:00:59.607 --> 00:01:02.376
  • I will not forget them.
  • 00:01:02.376 --> 00:01:03.744
  • I'm never going to forget them.
  • 00:01:03.744 --> 00:01:05.412
  • I saw that clip.
  • 00:01:05.412 --> 00:01:06.514
  • Actually, not until this morning. blake.
  • 00:01:06.514 --> 00:01:08.716
  • I actually watched last night.
  • 00:01:08.716 --> 00:01:10.417
  • I didn't log it this morning,
  • 00:01:10.417 --> 00:01:11.919
  • And it broke my heart, actually.
  • 00:01:11.919 --> 00:01:13.687
  • And of course,
  • 00:01:13.687 --> 00:01:14.722
  • He was referencing what happened at mar-a-lago,
  • 00:01:14.722 --> 00:01:17.725
  • With the austin martin case where he was killed,
  • 00:01:17.725 --> 00:01:21.529
  • Apparently trying to assassinate the president.
  • 00:01:21.529 --> 00:01:24.165
  • Ginned up on conspiracy theories, frustration,
  • 00:01:24.165 --> 00:01:27.635
  • Whatever, locked inside
  • 00:01:27.635 --> 00:01:29.403
  • An ideological echo chamber on social media.
  • 00:01:29.403 --> 00:01:32.339
  • And that is the third known assassination attempt
  • 00:01:32.339 --> 00:01:36.644
  • Against president trump in the last two years.
  • 00:01:36.644 --> 00:01:40.181
  • And, of course, that strikes the heart of this show,
  • 00:01:40.181 --> 00:01:44.084
  • The show that bears the name charlie kirk,
  • 00:01:44.084 --> 00:01:46.654
  • Who he lost to an
  • 00:01:47.087 --> 00:01:48.155
  • Assassin's bullet in september.
  • 00:01:48.155 --> 00:01:51.225
  • And we have a huge problem.
  • 00:01:51.825 --> 00:01:53.794
  • And charlie knew that we had a huge problem.
  • 00:01:53.794 --> 00:01:57.198
  • And it only is getting worse by the day.
  • 00:01:57.198 --> 00:01:59.967
  • The rhetoric from the left, the dehumanizing
  • 00:01:59.967 --> 00:02:02.036
  • Rhetoric from the left is only getting worse.
  • 00:02:02.036 --> 00:02:04.071
  • And we're going to explain that in just a second.
  • 00:02:04.071 --> 00:02:06.006
  • But i want to play a couple clips
  • 00:02:06.006 --> 00:02:07.241
  • Here of charlie himself acknowledging the rise of left
  • 00:02:07.241 --> 00:02:10.911
  • Wing political violence in america.
  • 00:02:10.911 --> 00:02:13.614
  • 380 this is going to get really nasty.
  • 00:02:13.614 --> 00:02:16.350
  • Everyone listen to this. i just hope you understand.
  • 00:02:16.350 --> 00:02:18.319
  • Think of the nastiest moment in 2016.
  • 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.988
  • They are not going to let this guy get reelected
  • 00:02:20.988 --> 00:02:23.090
  • Without the most brutal, drawn out fight.
  • 00:02:23.090 --> 00:02:24.858
  • We're going have the tech companies getting involved.
  • 00:02:24.858 --> 00:02:26.594
  • Yeah, the media is going to get worse than ever.
  • 00:02:26.594 --> 00:02:28.462
  • They're going to be taking now
  • 00:02:28.462 --> 00:02:29.363
  • Twitter accounts left and right.
  • 00:02:29.363 --> 00:02:31.031
  • They're going to be taking up videos on youtube.
  • 00:02:31.031 --> 00:02:33.300
  • They're going to be coming after us.
  • 00:02:33.300 --> 00:02:34.668
  • They're going to be following us in the middle of the night.
  • 00:02:34.668 --> 00:02:36.604
  • They're going to be breaking into our houses.
  • 00:02:36.604 --> 00:02:38.305
  • You think i'm joking?
  • 00:02:38.305 --> 00:02:39.273
  • They're going to have violent,
  • 00:02:39.273 --> 00:02:41.008
  • That you will not be able to walk the streets.
  • 00:02:41.008 --> 00:02:42.643
  • The maga hat without your
  • 00:02:42.643 --> 00:02:44.044
  • Your physical health be put in jeopardy.
  • 00:02:44.044 --> 00:02:47.014
  • And i hope it doesn't get that way.
  • 00:02:47.014 --> 00:02:48.182
  • I hope that this clip gets unearthed
  • 00:02:48.182 --> 00:02:50.417
  • And everything's like, wonderful.
  • 00:02:50.417 --> 00:02:51.652
  • I hope that
  • 00:02:51.652 --> 00:02:52.720
  • The country comes together and we have a beautiful
  • 00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:55.256
  • Unitarian healing moment in september.
  • 00:02:55.256 --> 00:02:58.158
  • And that's 2020. blake,
  • 00:02:58.158 --> 00:03:01.328
  • Many years ago.
  • 00:03:01.695 --> 00:03:02.930
  • And he saw it then and then this clip we have to play.
  • 00:03:02.930 --> 00:03:06.300
  • We have it loaded up now.
  • 00:03:06.300 --> 00:03:07.668
  • 379 my fear, senator, and i hope i'm wrong
  • 00:03:07.668 --> 00:03:11.639
  • And let's say stay in prayer, that i'm wrong,
  • 00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:13.941
  • That someone is going to get shot
  • 00:03:13.941 --> 00:03:15.476
  • The same way that steve scalise got shot.
  • 00:03:15.476 --> 00:03:17.478
  • And god forbid, killed.
  • 00:03:17.478 --> 00:03:19.213
  • The left is creating a pressure cooker with so many of their
  • 00:03:19.213 --> 00:03:22.816
  • Rank and file paramilitary troops, that very well
  • 00:03:22.816 --> 00:03:26.186
  • Might result in one of us getting shot or killed.
  • 00:03:26.186 --> 00:03:29.890
  • God forbid that happens.
  • 00:03:29.890 --> 00:03:31.025
  • We're getting death threats every single day here
  • 00:03:31.025 --> 00:03:33.494
  • On the charlie kirk show.
  • 00:03:33.494 --> 00:03:35.062
  • It's such a haunting clip,
  • 00:03:35.062 --> 00:03:37.598
  • Like the.
  • 00:03:37.598 --> 00:03:40.234
  • And there's more like it, i think.
  • 00:03:40.234 --> 00:03:42.269
  • I think we we continue to find as we go through the archives
  • 00:03:42.269 --> 00:03:45.172
  • More times charlie would talk about that,
  • 00:03:45.172 --> 00:03:48.575
  • And it always hits me because i, i remember
  • 00:03:48.575 --> 00:03:52.579
  • Not taking it as seriously.
  • 00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:55.182
  • I would always i would reassure charlie, people.
  • 00:03:55.182 --> 00:03:57.384
  • People don't, for the most part, don't do that.
  • 00:03:57.384 --> 00:04:00.154
  • And he was right to worry.
  • 00:04:00.154 --> 00:04:02.122
  • I was i was the idiot.
  • 00:04:02.122 --> 00:04:04.325
  • And one reason we're talking about
  • 00:04:04.325 --> 00:04:06.360
  • This is not just because of what the president said, but
  • 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.096
  • There's endless cases of them,
  • 00:04:09.096 --> 00:04:12.866
  • Of the left, deliberately, people who should know better,
  • 00:04:12.866 --> 00:04:15.669
  • Constantly amping up low level actors,
  • 00:04:15.669 --> 00:04:19.106
  • The mentally imbalanced, the mentally unwell,
  • 00:04:19.106 --> 00:04:21.275
  • The people who are who
  • 00:04:21.275 --> 00:04:23.143
  • They're more likely to get tipped over the edge.
  • 00:04:24.144 --> 00:04:26.413
  • And so i was just absolutely set off yesterday.
  • 00:04:26.413 --> 00:04:29.783
  • There was an article in the atlantic magazine
  • 00:04:29.783 --> 00:04:32.453
  • For those of you who don't read it, the atlantic is up there
  • 00:04:32.453 --> 00:04:35.322
  • With the new york times as a prestige outlet
  • 00:04:35.322 --> 00:04:38.559
  • Of what you would call the mainstream left opinion.
  • 00:04:38.559 --> 00:04:42.496
  • Getting published there. yeah.
  • 00:04:42.496 --> 00:04:44.298
  • It's like being on the front page of the new york times.
  • 00:04:44.298 --> 00:04:46.767
  • It's more prestigious than the washington post.
  • 00:04:46.767 --> 00:04:49.069
  • It's like the wall street journal
  • 00:04:49.069 --> 00:04:50.771
  • And one of their editors, tom nichols, they they split out
  • 00:04:50.771 --> 00:04:53.974
  • This article yesterday, and it is
  • 00:04:53.974 --> 00:04:55.843
  • The republican party has a nazi problem.
  • 00:04:55.843 --> 00:04:59.480
  • Let's see how many times they use
  • 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:00.848
  • The word nazi in that article.
  • 00:05:00.848 --> 00:05:02.149
  • They use the word nazi in this article at least 15 times.
  • 00:05:02.149 --> 00:05:06.920
  • And it just repeatedly says
  • 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.323
  • It just says the republicans have a nazi problem.
  • 00:05:09.323 --> 00:05:12.126
  • This means the united states has a nazi problem.
  • 00:05:12.126 --> 00:05:15.095
  • The responsibility for defeating it is in the 21st
  • 00:05:15.095 --> 00:05:18.599
  • Century falls to everyone who still believes
  • 00:05:18.599 --> 00:05:21.769
  • In the american idea,
  • 00:05:21.769 --> 00:05:23.771
  • Just repeatedly
  • 00:05:24.138 --> 00:05:25.205
  • Saying nazi, nazi, nazi, nazi about the right.
  • 00:05:25.205 --> 00:05:28.876
  • And as i said online last night,
  • 00:05:28.876 --> 00:05:32.413
  • It's very clear what's going on here.
  • 00:05:33.213 --> 00:05:34.815
  • We had a deranged leftist who's in court today.
  • 00:05:34.815 --> 00:05:37.017
  • We're monitoring that.
  • 00:05:37.017 --> 00:05:37.985
  • Tyler robinson, he
  • 00:05:37.985 --> 00:05:40.521
  • Murdered charlie because he was whipped up
  • 00:05:40.521 --> 00:05:42.823
  • By this rhetoric of nazis, this rhetoric of genocide.
  • 00:05:42.823 --> 00:05:46.193
  • We've had a gunman
  • 00:05:46.193 --> 00:05:47.694
  • Shoot up an ice facility and kill, multiple detainees.
  • 00:05:47.694 --> 00:05:51.231
  • But he wanted to kill ice officers.
  • 00:05:51.231 --> 00:05:53.400
  • We have these insurgents, essentially in minneapolis,
  • 00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:56.837
  • Constantly getting in the face of ice
  • 00:05:56.837 --> 00:05:59.673
  • Agents who end up getting shot in themselves,
  • 00:05:59.673 --> 00:06:01.442
  • But very well, this could end in ice agents being shot.
  • 00:06:01.442 --> 00:06:05.145
  • The entire point is to throw it all into tumult.
  • 00:06:05.145 --> 00:06:07.881
  • We have
  • 00:06:07.881 --> 00:06:09.349
  • Multiple transgender radicals,
  • 00:06:09.349 --> 00:06:10.617
  • And of course, we've had four attempted
  • 00:06:10.617 --> 00:06:12.085
  • Assassinate our three attempted
  • 00:06:12.085 --> 00:06:13.353
  • Assassinations of the president that have ended in someone
  • 00:06:13.353 --> 00:06:16.156
  • Being shot. and i just can't.
  • 00:06:16.156 --> 00:06:19.593
  • It feels deliberate to me that when tom nichols
  • 00:06:19.593 --> 00:06:22.563
  • Goes out here and just writes nazi, nazi, nazi, nazi, nazi,
  • 00:06:22.563 --> 00:06:25.566
  • It is the line the left used in the past
  • 00:06:25.566 --> 00:06:28.602
  • Stochastic terrorism.
  • 00:06:28.602 --> 00:06:29.937
  • It is the rhetoric that drives unwell people over the edge
  • 00:06:29.937 --> 00:06:34.475
  • So that
  • 00:06:34.475 --> 00:06:35.609
  • They're going to go grab a gun and try to shoot someone
  • 00:06:35.609 --> 00:06:38.312
  • Because they're nuts and they take the stuff literally.
  • 00:06:38.312 --> 00:06:41.915
  • Yeah.
  • 00:06:42.149 --> 00:06:42.516
  • Well said.
  • 00:06:42.516 --> 00:06:43.717
  • And you know, remember tyler robinson said that some hate
  • 00:06:43.717 --> 00:06:46.420
  • You just can't be negotiated out in reference to charlie.
  • 00:06:46.420 --> 00:06:50.424
  • And, you know, i think i think we're not done
  • 00:06:50.424 --> 00:06:54.228
  • Addressing this, this issue.
  • 00:06:54.228 --> 00:06:55.629
  • We're going to continue talking about it in the next segment.
  • 00:06:55.629 --> 00:06:58.432
  • And, just again, i can't underscore enough
  • 00:06:58.432 --> 00:07:02.202
  • How much that clip from president
  • 00:07:02.202 --> 00:07:03.570
  • Trump just broke my heart watching it.
  • 00:07:03.570 --> 00:07:05.672
  • And i think it's specifically because of our proximity
  • 00:07:05.672 --> 00:07:08.442
  • To charlie that it hit so hard
  • 00:07:08.442 --> 00:07:13.992
  • To charlie that it hit so hard
  • 00:07:13.992 --> 00:07:19.450
  • This venom coming from the other side.
  • 00:07:20.284 --> 00:07:22.520
  • We don't know whether this person
  • 00:07:22.520 --> 00:07:23.687
  • Was a mastermind unhinged or what, but
  • 00:07:23.687 --> 00:07:26.490
  • They are normalizing this violence.
  • 00:07:26.490 --> 00:07:29.193
  • It's got to stop.
  • 00:07:29.193 --> 00:07:30.294
  • Scott besson, he's absolutely 100% right.
  • 00:07:30.294 --> 00:07:33.764
  • He himself has been targeted by political violence.
  • 00:07:33.764 --> 00:07:36.901
  • You don't hear as much about it, but,
  • 00:07:36.901 --> 00:07:38.302
  • I happen to know i think it's been reported somewhere.
  • 00:07:38.302 --> 00:07:41.238
  • But listen, in recent years,
  • 00:07:41.238 --> 00:07:43.240
  • Political violence has become increasingly normalized,
  • 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.310
  • Shifting from a fringe, extremist
  • 00:07:47.044 --> 00:07:49.713
  • Kind of movement to mainstream discourse.
  • 00:07:49.713 --> 00:07:51.649
  • And you don't have to take my word for it.
  • 00:07:51.649 --> 00:07:53.150
  • Just go on tiktok, go on tiktok.
  • 00:07:53.150 --> 00:07:55.386
  • You'll see videos celebrating the targeting
  • 00:07:55.386 --> 00:07:58.956
  • Of ice officers all over the place.
  • 00:07:58.956 --> 00:08:00.558
  • You'll see them celebrating, going after top
  • 00:08:00.558 --> 00:08:03.627
  • Trump administration officials.
  • 00:08:04.261 --> 00:08:06.797
  • It's assassination culture and it glorifies targeted
  • 00:08:07.865 --> 00:08:10.467
  • Killings is acts of justice against perceived oppressors,
  • 00:08:10.467 --> 00:08:13.871
  • Which you could just insert maga or conservatives.
  • 00:08:13.871 --> 00:08:17.541
  • And it's fueled by social media in these echo chambers.
  • 00:08:17.541 --> 00:08:20.511
  • Mangione, his 2024
  • 00:08:20.945 --> 00:08:23.781
  • Assassination of united healthcare ceo brian thompson
  • 00:08:23.781 --> 00:08:27.051
  • Has been celebrated by segments of the far left
  • 00:08:27.051 --> 00:08:30.020
  • As heroic resistance.
  • 00:08:30.020 --> 00:08:31.789
  • Hashtags like free luigi have gained traction
  • 00:08:31.789 --> 00:08:35.025
  • With over 50,000 posts, and they call him a hero.
  • 00:08:35.025 --> 00:08:39.630
  • The idolization risks
  • 00:08:40.130 --> 00:08:42.933
  • Massive amounts of copycat killers.
  • 00:08:42.933 --> 00:08:50.074
  • You just look at this graph.
  • 00:08:50.674 --> 00:08:52.176
  • This graph is we've brought it up before
  • 00:08:52.176 --> 00:08:54.078
  • And it's so important.
  • 00:08:54.078 --> 00:08:55.112
  • Look at image 31.
  • 00:08:55.112 --> 00:08:57.948
  • This was taken.
  • 00:08:57.948 --> 00:08:58.782
  • This poll was taken in the immediate
  • 00:08:58.782 --> 00:09:01.518
  • Aftermath of charlie's assassination.
  • 00:09:01.518 --> 00:09:04.755
  • And the question was posed, is it ever justified for
  • 00:09:04.755 --> 00:09:07.157
  • Citizens to resort to violence
  • 00:09:07.157 --> 00:09:08.826
  • In order to achieve political goals?
  • 00:09:08.826 --> 00:09:11.328
  • This is the percent responding yes.
  • 00:09:11.328 --> 00:09:13.731
  • In the 18 to 39 group
  • 00:09:13.731 --> 00:09:16.967
  • Of liberals, 30% said yes.
  • 00:09:16.967 --> 00:09:19.870
  • Violence was justified.
  • 00:09:19.870 --> 00:09:21.572
  • We have other polls that say
  • 00:09:22.172 --> 00:09:24.274
  • Almost 50% would suggest the same thing for elon musk,
  • 00:09:24.274 --> 00:09:27.911
  • And over 50%, 55% would say the same for president trump.
  • 00:09:27.911 --> 00:09:31.615
  • There it is.
  • 00:09:31.615 --> 00:09:32.216
  • That's that graphic
  • 00:09:32.216 --> 00:09:33.884
  • That they think it would be justified to kill those men
  • 00:09:33.884 --> 00:09:35.919
  • To achieve a political end.
  • 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:40.090
  • Since 2025,
  • 00:09:40.424 --> 00:09:41.458
  • Assaults on ice officers have skyrocketed 1,800%
  • 00:09:41.458 --> 00:09:45.396
  • Overall, with vehicular attacks up 3,200%.
  • 00:09:45.396 --> 00:09:51.402
  • Blake mentioned before
  • 00:09:51.869 --> 00:09:52.970
  • That a gunman shot up an ice facility,
  • 00:09:52.970 --> 00:09:55.806
  • Didn't kill any ice officers, but he killed a few detainees.
  • 00:09:55.806 --> 00:09:58.676
  • Incidents include attempted murders and protests
  • 00:09:59.643 --> 00:10:02.146
  • Turning violent.
  • 00:10:02.146 --> 00:10:06.250
  • Charlie's assassination by tyler robinson,
  • 00:10:07.117 --> 00:10:09.086
  • Who cited charlie's quote unquote hate as his motive,
  • 00:10:09.086 --> 00:10:12.756
  • Exemplifies far left inspired violence post assassination.
  • 00:10:12.756 --> 00:10:17.294
  • Some online reactions celebrated it.
  • 00:10:17.294 --> 00:10:19.129
  • Gross, vile, disgusting.
  • 00:10:19.129 --> 00:10:21.131
  • Online celebrations mirroring manganese
  • 00:10:21.131 --> 00:10:24.568
  • Fandom and fueling lawsuits over free speech crackdowns.
  • 00:10:24.568 --> 00:10:29.106
  • Charlie was assassinated for speaking his mind
  • 00:10:30.074 --> 00:10:32.743
  • In the public's public square.
  • 00:10:32.743 --> 00:10:35.779
  • And what is the point?
  • 00:10:36.246 --> 00:10:37.514
  • The point is
  • 00:10:37.514 --> 00:10:38.615
  • They want to strike at the heart of free expression
  • 00:10:38.615 --> 00:10:40.818
  • And free speech, open discourse.
  • 00:10:40.818 --> 00:10:43.454
  • They want to silence conservative
  • 00:10:43.454 --> 00:10:45.656
  • Voices.
  • 00:10:45.656 --> 00:10:48.892
  • It's a terrifying escalation and normalization
  • 00:10:48.892 --> 00:10:52.796
  • Of political violence and assassination culture.
  • 00:10:52.796 --> 00:10:55.666
  • This is why we watch it. so closely.
  • 00:10:55.666 --> 00:10:57.267
  • This is why we're going to have our eyes on the tyler
  • 00:10:57.267 --> 00:11:00.037
  • Robinson case this afternoon, just a little bit.
  • 00:11:00.037 --> 00:11:05.242
  • Yeah.
  • 00:11:05.476 --> 00:11:05.976
  • What does this do?
  • 00:11:05.976 --> 00:11:07.010
  • It chills dissent.
  • 00:11:07.010 --> 00:11:09.279
  • It heightens threats to public officials.
  • 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.281
  • You have numbers of the trump administration
  • 00:11:11.281 --> 00:11:14.251
  • Living in military bases in and around d.c.,
  • 00:11:14.251 --> 00:11:17.354
  • Because they are no longer safe to live in a normal home.
  • 00:11:17.354 --> 00:11:21.625
  • If unchecked,
  • 00:11:21.992 --> 00:11:23.393
  • This legitimately could unravel the fabric
  • 00:11:23.393 --> 00:11:25.963
  • Of democracy, replacing ballots with bullets
  • 00:11:25.963 --> 00:11:28.932
  • And dialog with division, pushing america
  • 00:11:28.932 --> 00:11:31.101
  • Toward a fractured future where voices are silenced
  • 00:11:31.101 --> 00:11:34.671
  • Not by vote votes, but by violence.
  • 00:11:34.671 --> 00:11:38.342
  • This is much
  • 00:11:38.675 --> 00:11:39.376
  • Worse than the heckler's veto.
  • 00:11:39.376 --> 00:11:42.112
  • This is the assassins veto, and it must stop.
  • 00:11:42.112 --> 00:11:45.482
  • We have to get to root causes.
  • 00:11:45.482 --> 00:11:47.718
  • And when you see articles
  • 00:11:47.718 --> 00:11:48.852
  • Like this from the atlantic, which is a complete joke,
  • 00:11:48.852 --> 00:11:52.756
  • Which is an intentional provocation,
  • 00:11:52.756 --> 00:11:55.893
  • Is blake said earlier, inviting crazy people
  • 00:11:55.893 --> 00:11:58.962
  • To take shots at conservatives by calling them all nazis.
  • 00:11:58.962 --> 00:12:02.199
  • The problem is only going to get worse.
  • 00:12:03.066 --> 00:12:05.102
  • It's not going to get better.
  • 00:12:05.102 --> 00:12:06.770
  • This is not a prestige publication.
  • 00:12:06.770 --> 00:12:08.605
  • This is a joke of a publication
  • 00:12:08.605 --> 00:12:10.641
  • That wants conservatives dead.
  • 00:12:10.641 --> 00:12:13.744
  • No. and i think i got a that get you on that one, andrew.
  • 00:12:13.744 --> 00:12:17.147
  • That's the problem.
  • 00:12:17.147 --> 00:12:18.081
  • It is not a, it's not a joke publication.
  • 00:12:18.081 --> 00:12:20.284
  • First he's not joking.
  • 00:12:20.284 --> 00:12:21.552
  • And second, it really is, despite whatever we'd say
  • 00:12:21.552 --> 00:12:25.455
  • Is a prestige outlet, over a million subscribers.
  • 00:12:25.455 --> 00:12:28.725
  • They are one of those very rare bastions
  • 00:12:28.725 --> 00:12:32.129
  • That still has a huge amount of the prestige, dignity,
  • 00:12:32.129 --> 00:12:37.301
  • Whatever you want from a half a century ago.
  • 00:12:37.301 --> 00:12:40.204
  • And that is exactly why it's so dangerous.
  • 00:12:40.204 --> 00:12:42.806
  • It's one thing
  • 00:12:42.806 --> 00:12:43.440
  • If these insane things get
  • 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:44.741
  • Written in, i don't know, someone's blog
  • 00:12:44.741 --> 00:12:46.844
  • If it's on a substack post.
  • 00:12:46.844 --> 00:12:48.278
  • This is one of the rare
  • 00:12:48.278 --> 00:12:49.947
  • Publications that can blast out an insane
  • 00:12:49.947 --> 00:12:52.649
  • Take to millions of people and launder it
  • 00:12:52.649 --> 00:12:56.253
  • As a legitimate one.
  • 00:12:56.253 --> 00:12:57.955
  • And the stuff he says in the article is,
  • 00:12:57.955 --> 00:13:00.724
  • Is just so over the top that just
  • 00:13:00.724 --> 00:13:02.359
  • We should highlight some of these.
  • 00:13:02.359 --> 00:13:03.660
  • The throw up 386 the department of homeland
  • 00:13:03.660 --> 00:13:06.697
  • Security used an anthem beloved by neo-nazi groups.
  • 00:13:06.697 --> 00:13:10.601
  • By god, we'll have our home again.
  • 00:13:10.601 --> 00:13:12.936
  • In a recruitment ad,
  • 00:13:12.936 --> 00:13:14.504
  • The labor department hung a banner of donald trump's
  • 00:13:14.504 --> 00:13:17.140
  • Face from its headquarters
  • 00:13:17.140 --> 00:13:18.342
  • As if washington were berlin in 1936.
  • 00:13:18.342 --> 00:13:22.112
  • It posted expressions on social media such as america
  • 00:13:22.112 --> 00:13:26.583
  • Is for americans, an obvious riff on the nazi
  • 00:13:26.583 --> 00:13:30.354
  • Slogan germany?
  • 00:13:30.354 --> 00:13:31.722
  • How about it's just german sense?
  • 00:13:31.722 --> 00:13:33.357
  • Yes, it's common sense.
  • 00:13:33.357 --> 00:13:34.892
  • Common sense.
  • 00:13:34.892 --> 00:13:35.826
  • It's a republic. repeatedly.
  • 00:13:35.826 --> 00:13:37.961
  • It's a repeatedly overriding thing.
  • 00:13:37.961 --> 00:13:39.997
  • And all of these hysterical
  • 00:13:39.997 --> 00:13:41.164
  • Takes that i like, they just kind of
  • 00:13:41.164 --> 00:13:44.868
  • They base you whatever you want to say about
  • 00:13:44.868 --> 00:13:47.137
  • What you can tell your base.
  • 00:13:47.137 --> 00:13:48.438
  • It's obviously not insane to say
  • 00:13:48.438 --> 00:13:49.706
  • America should look out for americans.
  • 00:13:49.706 --> 00:13:51.074
  • America should be for americans.
  • 00:13:51.074 --> 00:13:53.010
  • So they have to like, just say, well, it's nazi slogan.
  • 00:13:53.010 --> 00:13:55.145
  • It's a nazi slogan to say that
  • 00:13:55.145 --> 00:13:56.446
  • You don't want to be a nazi, do you?
  • 00:13:56.446 --> 00:13:58.148
  • And then in the article, he's
  • 00:13:58.148 --> 00:13:59.516
  • He has to cover for the fact that they've
  • 00:13:59.516 --> 00:14:01.952
  • And he's like, well, yeah, the left
  • 00:14:01.952 --> 00:14:03.287
  • You know, we used to we've lionized angela davis,
  • 00:14:03.287 --> 00:14:06.089
  • A college professor who helped murder a judge.
  • 00:14:06.089 --> 00:14:08.859
  • You know, we we all partied with bill ayres,
  • 00:14:08.859 --> 00:14:11.328
  • A terrorist who mailed bombs to the military and to congress.
  • 00:14:11.328 --> 00:14:15.832
  • But, like, you know, that's different.
  • 00:14:15.832 --> 00:14:18.001
  • You know, our terrorism is like,
  • 00:14:18.001 --> 00:14:19.903
  • I think he gives up the
  • 00:14:19.903 --> 00:14:21.505
  • The real story here in 385, this image.
  • 00:14:21.505 --> 00:14:25.208
  • Critics of the gop have long argued,
  • 00:14:25.208 --> 00:14:27.411
  • They've long argued something like the trump movement
  • 00:14:27.411 --> 00:14:30.013
  • And the emergence of a new american nazi ism
  • 00:14:30.013 --> 00:14:32.783
  • Was inevitable.
  • 00:14:33.150 --> 00:14:34.584
  • That conservatism is a belief system
  • 00:14:34.584 --> 00:14:36.687
  • Inevitably decays into fascism.
  • 00:14:36.687 --> 00:14:40.090
  • So this is their core ideology.
  • 00:14:40.090 --> 00:14:43.460
  • And this is why you see these unhinged reactions
  • 00:14:43.460 --> 00:14:46.196
  • Across the atlantic, by the way,
  • 00:14:46.196 --> 00:14:47.631
  • To the rise of conservative populist movements like maga,
  • 00:14:47.631 --> 00:14:51.368
  • Because they believe that it's a runaway
  • 00:14:51.368 --> 00:14:53.704
  • Train, that they must stop
  • 00:14:53.704 --> 00:14:55.572
  • By not just punching a nazi by killing a nazi.
  • 00:14:55.572 --> 00:14:58.608
  • And make no mistake, that is the through line that
  • 00:14:58.608 --> 00:15:01.945
  • If force was justified to take out hitler
  • 00:15:01.945 --> 00:15:05.048
  • And the third reich in germany, well then force is justified
  • 00:15:05.048 --> 00:15:08.185
  • To kill conservatives here because it inevitably decays
  • 00:15:08.185 --> 00:15:11.421
  • Into fascism. this is their their fear.
  • 00:15:11.421 --> 00:15:13.924
  • They stay up at night thinking
  • 00:15:13.924 --> 00:15:15.158
  • That all of you watching this right now
  • 00:15:15.158 --> 00:15:16.827
  • Are nazis, that i'm a nazi, that we're all fascist.
  • 00:15:16.827 --> 00:15:21.994
  • Are nazis, that i'm a nazi, that we're all fascist.
  • 00:15:21.994 --> 00:15:27.869
  • Chip roy
  • 00:15:28.136 --> 00:15:29.104
  • Great congressman from the state of texas
  • 00:15:29.104 --> 00:15:31.172
  • Running for attorney general in the state of texas.
  • 00:15:31.172 --> 00:15:33.475
  • Welcome back to the show, sir.
  • 00:15:33.475 --> 00:15:35.610
  • Great to be on fellowship.
  • 00:15:35.610 --> 00:15:36.544
  • You're doing well.
  • 00:15:36.544 --> 00:15:38.346
  • Thank you.
  • 00:15:38.346 --> 00:15:38.847
  • Yeah.
  • 00:15:38.847 --> 00:15:39.547
  • Well, you know, to be honest,
  • 00:15:39.547 --> 00:15:40.482
  • And i'd love for you to chime in on this.
  • 00:15:40.482 --> 00:15:42.417
  • Chip, there's it's just, you know, we
  • 00:15:42.417 --> 00:15:44.486
  • We spent the first two seconds of the show
  • 00:15:44.486 --> 00:15:45.954
  • Going over this ridiculous article from the atlantic
  • 00:15:45.954 --> 00:15:49.290
  • On assassinate or calling everybody nazis.
  • 00:15:49.290 --> 00:15:52.293
  • That is, the conservative nazis.
  • 00:15:52.293 --> 00:15:54.195
  • Fascists also.
  • 00:15:54.195 --> 00:15:55.263
  • And i just can't help but, make the connection
  • 00:15:55.263 --> 00:15:58.500
  • That they want conservatives dead.
  • 00:15:58.500 --> 00:16:00.135
  • The dehumanizing rhetoric, this assassination
  • 00:16:00.135 --> 00:16:02.837
  • Attempt again against president trump.
  • 00:16:02.837 --> 00:16:05.974
  • Please, congressman.
  • 00:16:05.974 --> 00:16:08.810
  • Well, as you all know, because you all had, witness
  • 00:16:09.811 --> 00:16:12.547
  • Testimony participate, we had a, hearing and the,
  • 00:16:12.547 --> 00:16:16.551
  • Judiciary subcommittee on the constitution,
  • 00:16:16.551 --> 00:16:18.386
  • Which i chair, to address this topic.
  • 00:16:18.386 --> 00:16:21.523
  • And one of the things
  • 00:16:21.523 --> 00:16:22.791
  • I did immediately after the, brutal, murder of charlie,
  • 00:16:22.791 --> 00:16:26.761
  • Was to call
  • 00:16:26.761 --> 00:16:28.530
  • On a special select committee, which so many of my
  • 00:16:28.530 --> 00:16:31.332
  • Colleagues and joined with me
  • 00:16:31.332 --> 00:16:32.267
  • In that call, and we haven't done it yet,
  • 00:16:32.267 --> 00:16:34.069
  • But i think we need to be
  • 00:16:34.069 --> 00:16:34.936
  • Very focused on the flow of the money
  • 00:16:34.936 --> 00:16:37.272
  • And the organized effort by the radical marxist left
  • 00:16:37.272 --> 00:16:40.675
  • To target conservatives, to target christians, to target
  • 00:16:40.675 --> 00:16:44.712
  • Our judeo christian values, all an intentional way
  • 00:16:44.712 --> 00:16:48.116
  • To foment that hatred and divide us,
  • 00:16:48.116 --> 00:16:50.485
  • Which then puts a specific target on our key
  • 00:16:50.485 --> 00:16:53.755
  • Conservative leaders, whether it was president trump,
  • 00:16:53.755 --> 00:16:56.658
  • Whether it was charlie,
  • 00:16:56.658 --> 00:16:57.859
  • Whether it was us we had and, you know, tony perkins,
  • 00:16:57.859 --> 00:17:00.628
  • Whose, family research council was targeted
  • 00:17:00.628 --> 00:17:02.997
  • About a decade ago and shot up,
  • 00:17:02.997 --> 00:17:04.866
  • When the southern poverty law center, made very clear
  • 00:17:04.866 --> 00:17:08.303
  • And put them on their hate map list.
  • 00:17:08.303 --> 00:17:10.605
  • And now that i'm daring
  • 00:17:10.605 --> 00:17:11.940
  • To co-chair the sharia free america caucus
  • 00:17:11.940 --> 00:17:15.210
  • That i co-founded with keith self, my fellow texan,
  • 00:17:15.210 --> 00:17:18.012
  • Now, care is putting us on a hate list.
  • 00:17:18.012 --> 00:17:21.116
  • I can't remember what it's called,
  • 00:17:21.116 --> 00:17:22.383
  • But somehow, you know, i'm now a hater
  • 00:17:22.383 --> 00:17:24.252
  • Because i believe we should stand up
  • 00:17:24.252 --> 00:17:26.454
  • On our judeo-christian values and defend those
  • 00:17:26.454 --> 00:17:29.124
  • Against the islamic fication of the country.
  • 00:17:29.124 --> 00:17:30.925
  • Now, you touched on a lot of issues,
  • 00:17:30.925 --> 00:17:32.660
  • But the main one is the organized effort
  • 00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:35.396
  • By the marxist left. that is wealth funded.
  • 00:17:35.396 --> 00:17:37.765
  • It's purposeful,
  • 00:17:37.765 --> 00:17:38.833
  • And they are putting targets on us
  • 00:17:38.833 --> 00:17:40.768
  • And using rhetoric intentionally
  • 00:17:40.768 --> 00:17:42.837
  • To raise that temperature.
  • 00:17:42.837 --> 00:17:44.372
  • Our colleagues
  • 00:17:44.372 --> 00:17:45.607
  • On the other side of the aisle, as we like to say, continue
  • 00:17:45.607 --> 00:17:48.576
  • To call us fascist nazis and put us on hate lists.
  • 00:17:48.576 --> 00:17:52.280
  • This was, splc put turning point on its hate map.
  • 00:17:52.280 --> 00:17:55.717
  • Image 27.
  • 00:17:55.717 --> 00:17:57.118
  • And, i mean, you sort of wonder, you know,
  • 00:17:58.019 --> 00:17:59.587
  • Does this contribute to this cycle of violence?
  • 00:17:59.587 --> 00:18:03.391
  • And it's coming from the left.
  • 00:18:03.391 --> 00:18:04.726
  • And i'm so sick of hearing
  • 00:18:04.726 --> 00:18:05.793
  • About how we have a violence problem on both sides.
  • 00:18:05.793 --> 00:18:07.695
  • Maybe we do.
  • 00:18:07.695 --> 00:18:08.329
  • Maybe it's rising on the right
  • 00:18:08.329 --> 00:18:09.430
  • And we're going to see it emerge.
  • 00:18:09.430 --> 00:18:10.765
  • But right now it's coming from the left to the right.
  • 00:18:10.765 --> 00:18:12.734
  • And i i'm just i'm sick of it.
  • 00:18:12.734 --> 00:18:14.202
  • I know this isn't
  • 00:18:14.202 --> 00:18:15.170
  • Why we had you on the show today, sir, but,
  • 00:18:15.170 --> 00:18:17.472
  • I'm grateful for your input.
  • 00:18:17.472 --> 00:18:19.374
  • It's just it's got to stop.
  • 00:18:19.374 --> 00:18:22.410
  • No, i'll talk about whatever issue y'all want to talk about.
  • 00:18:22.410 --> 00:18:24.579
  • Why don't the state of union address?
  • 00:18:24.579 --> 00:18:25.747
  • We can talk about sharia law,
  • 00:18:25.747 --> 00:18:27.382
  • But but but really, this is the central issue.
  • 00:18:27.382 --> 00:18:30.218
  • Okay?
  • 00:18:30.218 --> 00:18:31.252
  • All of the issues that we're going to address
  • 00:18:31.252 --> 00:18:32.687
  • As conservatives, as god fearing americans,
  • 00:18:32.687 --> 00:18:35.223
  • All go through this central issue,
  • 00:18:35.223 --> 00:18:37.959
  • That they are an organized bunch of marxists
  • 00:18:37.959 --> 00:18:40.662
  • Who want to undermine our country.
  • 00:18:40.662 --> 00:18:43.598
  • That's it.
  • 00:18:43.898 --> 00:18:44.799
  • Like what?
  • 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:46.034
  • But, charlie, you know, when i go out on the campaign trail,
  • 00:18:46.034 --> 00:18:47.702
  • I talk about a number of things about charlie.
  • 00:18:47.702 --> 00:18:50.438
  • And by the way, i'm careful.
  • 00:18:50.438 --> 00:18:52.207
  • Charlie was a good friend in the political circles.
  • 00:18:52.207 --> 00:18:54.776
  • I don't go around masquerading
  • 00:18:54.776 --> 00:18:55.977
  • Like he and i were best buds, but.
  • 00:18:55.977 --> 00:18:57.845
  • But talk about responsive.
  • 00:18:57.845 --> 00:18:59.247
  • Like i would text charlie. hey, what's going on?
  • 00:18:59.247 --> 00:19:01.216
  • Our last substantive conversation
  • 00:19:01.216 --> 00:19:03.384
  • Was about the islam ification of america and the west. but.
  • 00:19:03.384 --> 00:19:07.255
  • But when i talk about charlie, i say two things.
  • 00:19:07.255 --> 00:19:09.791
  • One, he wasn't afraid to call out that organized
  • 00:19:09.791 --> 00:19:13.695
  • A bunch of marxists and the extent
  • 00:19:13.695 --> 00:19:15.129
  • To which they are organized against us.
  • 00:19:15.129 --> 00:19:17.332
  • And two, and most importantly, it wasn't the freedom.
  • 00:19:17.332 --> 00:19:20.335
  • Sure, respectfully,
  • 00:19:20.335 --> 00:19:21.669
  • It wasn't talking about limited government and constitution,
  • 00:19:21.669 --> 00:19:24.105
  • All great things, all important.
  • 00:19:24.105 --> 00:19:26.241
  • It was that
  • 00:19:26.241 --> 00:19:26.808
  • He was going to college
  • 00:19:26.808 --> 00:19:27.875
  • Campuses and proclaiming the gospel of christ.
  • 00:19:27.875 --> 00:19:31.446
  • And i want to stop and hold there for a second
  • 00:19:31.446 --> 00:19:34.115
  • Because nothing else matters.
  • 00:19:34.115 --> 00:19:36.784
  • The freedom that we're talking about,
  • 00:19:36.784 --> 00:19:39.053
  • The ability to carry out our lives
  • 00:19:39.053 --> 00:19:41.289
  • According to our conscience, none of that matters
  • 00:19:41.289 --> 00:19:44.359
  • If we're not proclaiming the gospel of christ.
  • 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.428
  • And we get wrapped around our american axle
  • 00:19:47.428 --> 00:19:50.031
  • And we hide behind the first amendment
  • 00:19:50.031 --> 00:19:52.567
  • To say that we don't talk about those things.
  • 00:19:52.567 --> 00:19:55.036
  • Charlie talked about those things.
  • 00:19:55.036 --> 00:19:57.705
  • Teepee usa leads on those things.
  • 00:19:57.705 --> 00:20:00.675
  • Keep doing it.
  • 00:20:00.675 --> 00:20:01.743
  • It is central.
  • 00:20:01.743 --> 00:20:02.977
  • And that organized marxist left.
  • 00:20:02.977 --> 00:20:05.413
  • It's all biblical, all the advance of the islam ification.
  • 00:20:05.413 --> 00:20:09.317
  • That's all biblical.
  • 00:20:09.784 --> 00:20:11.552
  • We are at war.
  • 00:20:11.552 --> 00:20:13.221
  • We are at war in this world.
  • 00:20:13.221 --> 00:20:14.889
  • And it is a predictive war.
  • 00:20:14.889 --> 00:20:16.591
  • And we need to gird their loins for that battle,
  • 00:20:16.591 --> 00:20:19.394
  • And we need to be proud of it.
  • 00:20:19.394 --> 00:20:20.962
  • We need to be defensive of our families
  • 00:20:20.962 --> 00:20:23.398
  • And our heritage
  • 00:20:23.398 --> 00:20:24.432
  • And our community and who we are as americans
  • 00:20:24.432 --> 00:20:26.000
  • And what god's meant for the world,
  • 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:27.802
  • And why sharia law is bad,
  • 00:20:27.802 --> 00:20:29.570
  • And why the islam ification of america would destroy
  • 00:20:29.570 --> 00:20:33.207
  • All that is good and great about western civilization.
  • 00:20:33.207 --> 00:20:36.277
  • What america means for it.
  • 00:20:36.277 --> 00:20:37.245
  • So sorry for that little bit of a rant,
  • 00:20:37.245 --> 00:20:38.913
  • But that's so, so on everything part of it is a federal issue
  • 00:20:38.913 --> 00:20:41.916
  • With this mass immigration.
  • 00:20:41.916 --> 00:20:43.151
  • We're still doing 1.2 million green cards a year.
  • 00:20:43.151 --> 00:20:45.520
  • Okay. and a lot of this is visa lottery.
  • 00:20:45.520 --> 00:20:48.122
  • A lot of this is family reunification.
  • 00:20:48.122 --> 00:20:50.224
  • We're importing to third world.
  • 00:20:50.224 --> 00:20:51.426
  • Still, even with the border closed
  • 00:20:51.426 --> 00:20:52.927
  • And we're not addressing it.
  • 00:20:52.927 --> 00:20:53.995
  • Secondly, i do agree
  • 00:20:53.995 --> 00:20:55.296
  • Texas is beholden to corporate interests.
  • 00:20:55.296 --> 00:20:57.031
  • It just is.
  • 00:20:57.031 --> 00:20:57.632
  • You go around that state
  • 00:20:57.632 --> 00:20:58.566
  • And developers are running roughshod.
  • 00:20:58.566 --> 00:21:01.069
  • So something's got to give.
  • 00:21:01.669 --> 00:21:03.037
  • I speaking of texas, though, congressman.
  • 00:21:03.037 --> 00:21:05.573
  • You, surprised me.
  • 00:21:05.573 --> 00:21:07.608
  • You have spoken out on the brandon herrera race.
  • 00:21:07.608 --> 00:21:11.646
  • Explain why you chose to do that
  • 00:21:11.646 --> 00:21:14.148
  • And why now.
  • 00:21:14.148 --> 00:21:17.118
  • So two years ago,
  • 00:21:17.118 --> 00:21:18.419
  • At the at the very end of the primary
  • 00:21:18.419 --> 00:21:20.421
  • In may, i endorsed brandon herrera.
  • 00:21:20.421 --> 00:21:22.390
  • I know brandon, and he loves freedom.
  • 00:21:22.390 --> 00:21:25.560
  • He's a big second amendment guy.
  • 00:21:25.560 --> 00:21:27.195
  • We met, we visited,
  • 00:21:27.195 --> 00:21:28.429
  • And frankly, i probably should have
  • 00:21:28.429 --> 00:21:29.664
  • Endorsed him sooner, but it's tough.
  • 00:21:29.664 --> 00:21:31.265
  • It's tough when you, you know, when your delegation in texas,
  • 00:21:31.265 --> 00:21:34.502
  • You know, we usually don't endorse against each other.
  • 00:21:34.502 --> 00:21:37.138
  • But, with all due respect,
  • 00:21:37.138 --> 00:21:38.740
  • Tony had been against us on so many issues.
  • 00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:41.709
  • Air to air 29. my bill.
  • 00:21:41.709 --> 00:21:43.544
  • I won't get into the weeds, but he was a thorn in our side
  • 00:21:43.544 --> 00:21:45.780
  • When we were trying to secure the border.
  • 00:21:45.780 --> 00:21:47.482
  • So i ultimately endorsed brandon.
  • 00:21:47.482 --> 00:21:49.851
  • He came within 150 votes or so winning that primary.
  • 00:21:49.851 --> 00:21:53.087
  • And i wish he had.
  • 00:21:53.087 --> 00:21:54.455
  • And then i, you know, look,
  • 00:21:54.455 --> 00:21:55.790
  • You come back together, you work with your colleagues.
  • 00:21:55.790 --> 00:21:57.759
  • I was inclined to support brandon, but
  • 00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:00.361
  • Because i'm running statewide in texas,
  • 00:22:00.361 --> 00:22:02.063
  • I've largely stayed out of primaries.
  • 00:22:02.063 --> 00:22:04.031
  • Right. it's just not that advised.
  • 00:22:04.031 --> 00:22:05.666
  • If you're running statewide,
  • 00:22:05.666 --> 00:22:06.934
  • Especially, you know,
  • 00:22:06.934 --> 00:22:08.102
  • When you're first running statewide,
  • 00:22:08.102 --> 00:22:09.637
  • You could jump in a bunch of primaries. sure.
  • 00:22:09.637 --> 00:22:11.172
  • But this one mattered.
  • 00:22:11.172 --> 00:22:12.240
  • And then when
  • 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:13.107
  • When the news is breaking about tony,
  • 00:22:13.107 --> 00:22:14.842
  • We've known some of these things,
  • 00:22:14.842 --> 00:22:16.277
  • That were out there, but they're rumors.
  • 00:22:16.277 --> 00:22:18.346
  • And you got to give people due process.
  • 00:22:18.346 --> 00:22:19.981
  • You don't jump to conclusions based on what's
  • 00:22:19.981 --> 00:22:22.683
  • Put out on social media.
  • 00:22:22.683 --> 00:22:24.485
  • But enough smoke tells me there's fire, and we need
  • 00:22:24.485 --> 00:22:28.189
  • A standard bearer for texas 23 who can hold that seat.
  • 00:22:28.189 --> 00:22:31.626
  • And we need a god fearing, strong conservative.
  • 00:22:31.626 --> 00:22:34.328
  • And i think brandon fits that bill.
  • 00:22:34.328 --> 00:22:36.130
  • So yesterday i think i called on tony
  • 00:22:36.130 --> 00:22:38.733
  • To to step out of the race and i endorsed brandon.
  • 00:22:38.733 --> 00:22:41.302
  • I think i was the first texan
  • 00:22:41.302 --> 00:22:42.670
  • And one of the first in the, in the, congress to do it.
  • 00:22:42.670 --> 00:22:46.107
  • And, you know, i haven't yet calling him to resign
  • 00:22:46.107 --> 00:22:49.377
  • Because i think due process matters.
  • 00:22:49.377 --> 00:22:51.679
  • I think you got to, like,
  • 00:22:51.679 --> 00:22:52.747
  • Get authenticity of information and all of that.
  • 00:22:52.747 --> 00:22:55.550
  • And i think it's dangerous.
  • 00:22:55.550 --> 00:22:56.717
  • For example, this florida woman democrat who's indicted,
  • 00:22:56.717 --> 00:23:00.455
  • I've been called on her to resign yet
  • 00:23:00.455 --> 00:23:02.356
  • Either, even though she probably should.
  • 00:23:02.356 --> 00:23:04.225
  • But, you know, i think you got to let due process play out.
  • 00:23:04.225 --> 00:23:06.727
  • Sorry. i didn't mean to filibuster.
  • 00:23:06.727 --> 00:23:08.362
  • No, no, no, you're great.
  • 00:23:08.362 --> 00:23:09.397
  • And we want to talk about the cartels.
  • 00:23:09.397 --> 00:23:11.265
  • You've been leading on that issue, too, congressman.
  • 00:23:11.265 --> 00:23:13.201
  • There's so much there.
  • 00:23:13.201 --> 00:23:14.068
  • Please, everybody go to chip roy.com.
  • 00:23:14.068 --> 00:23:15.970
  • Check out his campaign.
  • 00:23:15.970 --> 00:23:17.071
  • Get behind him like charlie was behind him.
  • 00:23:17.071 --> 00:23:19.207
  • I think you're going to do a great job.
  • 00:23:19.207 --> 00:23:20.541
  • Congressman is, attorney general in texas.
  • 00:23:20.541 --> 00:23:22.877
  • And, we'll have you back on again soon.
  • 00:23:22.877 --> 00:23:25.012
  • Much news to discuss.
  • 00:23:25.012 --> 00:23:25.012
