From the New York Times, Texas Attorney General announces vote fraud and harvesting charges. A county judge, two city council members, and a former county election administrator are among Ken Paxton's targets as he elevates his election integrity accusations to criminality.
A half dozen people, including a county judge, this we know, vote harvesting. The charges surprised Latino voting rights activists who had insisted that a series of law enforcement raids on political operatives and voting organizers, some who were in their 70s and 80s, appeared to have been political. They say, at the time, the League of United Latin American Citizens, one of the nation's oldest Latino civil rights organizations, said that officers conducting the raids took cell phones, computers, documents, etc. Now five people, all with ties to Democratic candidates, are accused of illegal vote harvesting.
It's beginning. It's It's got to You were saying this a moment ago, it's got to get to the federal level, but this is good news that Ken Paxton is doing this in Texas. And uh I think if you stop the voter fraud, Democrats never win again.
Well, I mean, and plus the fact that we're deporting all of their voters, that kind of helps, too.
Well, this is the issue. They're not their voters. Illegal immigrants boost their electoral vote count and their congressional seat.
Congressional seats.
Yeah. So, it's not that illegal immigrants vote. It's that it gives them but but barely.
Yeah, the the issue is they're counted in the census. And this is this is this is look, I'm going to tell you this is a mistake conservatives keep making. Democrats don't want illegal immigrants to vote. That means they can vote against them. They want illegal immigrants who count towards the census in a Democrat majority district. So, they can't vote. So, the illegal immigrants come in, have no say, are ruled over by a congressman who shouldn't even have a seat because not enough people. That bolsters the number, and then they vote for a Democrat for president.
Why isn't there enough political capital to actually, you know, change that? Do we need what what what do we need to do to change that?
Let me tell you, okay, I want you all at home to imagine you're playing a game of Monopoly with me. I'll be the banker. Uh I'm going to keep pulling money out of the bank and putting it on my side no matter what you do. You want to keep playing? No. How do I keep winning? Well, you're cheating. Exactly. The How are the Democrats able to muster up congressional bills, federal bills, pass things in Congress? They have extra congressional seats from bringing in illegal immigrants, boosting their numbers in the census, and then becoming sanctuary cities and states to stop the government from getting rid of their electioneering. They're cheating. That's how they're doing it.
When you stop it, you mass deport the illegal immigrants. Sure. But how from from a level of, you know, the federal government, do you need an amendment to change this or do you just need an act of Congress?
Just a regular act of Congress?
Neither. You need a president. only citizens to count toward the uh the electoral vote. Trump tried that and they Supreme Court blocked him in his first. That needs to be a legislative. So now that's what I mean. Is it just a basic legislative that?
Yes. Okay. And and the Republicans could do it right now. Why won't they?
I don't know.
Mhm. They're not doing anything right now. That's the worst part about this. You ask they I mean Okay. Well, well, you know, we can have this argument, but I I swear this is a hill that Hold on. Who's doing the UFO stuff?
Um who cares?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Anna Paulina Luna. Eric Burlson. Uh Burlson. Yes. See, you see there you go. No, Anna Paulina is too busy busy trying to get women special privileges to show up to Congress. She she was debating coming on your morning show today, but she had to fly somewhere. So, I have tremendous respect for all the very, very great things that she's done. I will admit that she is one of the best we have in Congress, but I am offended by her efforts to get Congress to vote remote. No, that is a if you want to talk about a slippery slope, that is a slippery slope right there. And the fact that we killed an entire legislative week just because we had to deal with that little pet project is it it honestly it really it it it changed my opinion of it. Changed a lot of people's opinion on it. I I focus guys. Come on. I like her too. I just don't think that women should be in Congress at all anyway. So she's a I really think that after being there and working on the Hill and for some as long as I did a I should have never been there and women definitely should.
Yeah. I I have heard a woman senator speak at the event we were at today and she was nice and lovely and cute and I'm thinking, man, you should really not be here. You should be home.
Well, I mean, you keep seeing that. Who's that? Was it Britney Peterson that keeps mugging around her child on the on the house floor carrying it around as a proper while while going I can't bring him here because he'll get sick. And then yesterday, I'm in the middle of an interview with the New York Times. Watch this video of me changing my baby on the office floor. So inappropriate. If you can't do the job, resign. This is not for you.
I I want you all to imagine this. I want you to imagine, what's her name? Britney. Britney Peterson. Britney Peterson. She gets hired as a firefighter and they're like, "We've got we've got a burning building." And she's bouncing her baby. She's like, "Let me go in. I can't bring my baby into the fire, but I have to. I'm going to fight the the fire by proxy." That's what it's honestly it's using your baby as a prop, though. That's that's it's like it's exploiting the child. Like, hey, her baby is very cute. I'm working cool like you shouldn't it feels very performative in general and you shouldn't have your ma'am you have a you have a cute childare child now leave that proxy voting thing wasn't just for women though that was the thing that that she kept saying oh it's only for women it's for new moms no it's also for dads so you could have you you know you could have your wife pop out a baby and you get to take off work for the next you know I didn't like proxy voting during co there was lots of things and they gave up some they they allowed proxy voting during COVID and that was terrible too. We we shouldn't have it. You're elected to go there, be present for the votes and vote, then that's what you need to do. You're not giving your vote to somebody else who can change it who I mean obviously they would see how you changed their vote, but like you you can't give up your vote like you work like six days a month.
That's not true. That's a lie.
It's actually not a lie. It's not a myth.
Okay. I'm sorry. When you you go out and 100% a myth and and and the they're on recess, right? No, they're in their districts and they're working their butts off and they're actually meeting. I I work there with them forever my busiest time.
Hold on. Do you mean working their butts off as in calling donors?
No. No. Well, they do do that, but but that's only every do that. They do do that, but I will say but that's only like every other year, right? So, but when they are on recess, they're meeting with businesses. They're meeting with constituents. I think that that was some of our busiest times.
Who did you work for?
I worked for Congressman Gerlac, Congressman Costello, and Randy Weber.
So, you're saying, "I worked for these three good dudes who worked hard. The rest of them suck."
No, I mean, there's a lot of people that work like that. But anyway, we had and they're and and they're all largely on the Republican side, you say?
Yeah. Brandy Weber has the furthest right ideology score in all of um Congress. So, Oh, we must really like him.
Did he look in the eyes and say women shouldn't be in Congress?
No, but he would probably be like, "Lisa, chill out." He He yelled at me a couple times about things. He was on the show with me here. I brought him here.
Okay. So if so if you're going to defending uh members of Congress, defend their record over this past five months.
Oh, they've been working really hard, haven't they? I think they passed five bills.
Five bills. What have they done? Why do you want them to pass more bill? Here's that's I don't like that either. I want to codify Doge cuts. I want to codify executive orders. I want We're not doing that. I want spending bills, right? I want spending bills instead of instead of these omnibuses.
I get that. But you can't act like, oh, what are they doing? How many bills do we pass? Like the whole thing is we want less things being passed. If they're going to be obstructionary in certain ways, that's a good thing, too. You guys have to be like No, that only depends on the bill because right now there are two PRO2A bills. Uh what is it? Let's see. HR 404 and HR2395. Uh both of them are pro2A bills and they're being held up in committee by Republicans.
Yeah, that's annoying. So like there but but the point is there is legislation that can be good, especially when it repeals stuff. this is taking things off the NFA that shouldn't be on the NFA. But so that so it's not a matter of we don't want legislation. It's that the legislation that we want is not getting moved forward.
Yeah. But you guys have to understand like I I people say this like oh we we need to get rid of the rhinos or the the non-base people. And I agree. I would like them all gone. I would like everybody to be cringe the cringe.
Right. I'd like everybody to be a Christian nationalist.
Okay. Right. But that's not going to happen. So, so, but what what you have to realize is these people that are moderates or rhinos or whatever, they are in purple districts and they are voting what that constituency wants or they won't get reelected, right? So, you have to understand that a lot of the agenda isn't going to be I don't care if they get re-elected right now.
I agree. If they give Trump what Trump needs, they will never lose another election again. Okay. They're not in but in their heads and in their hearts they really aren't team mega and you have to get all of those people to agree that's like the hardest part and I think that's why Congress gets gridlocked a lot where and people don't understand that or they don't really they they know what we want as a party or what we want as like further what if what if we passed a bill that stated every time Congress is gridlocked they all get a peddlin a paddling you got to get to pass it to get to pass you what I'm No, no, not really. Because honestly, if you're not if you're that use if we're not doing anything anyway, what is the point of having the majority? I don't care if you Congress.
Yeah. Well, I'm good with that. I'm good with that, too.
No, I agree. I listen, I agree with you. We should like take our power and run with it, right? We should be passing everything we want right now while we have a majority. The problem is there is a lot of people in these purple swing districts that will fight you tooth and nail and be obstructionary. Not because like they don't like Trump because they're so they they really feel like that in their hearts. That's why the people like and their constituency they believe is more moderate. They're not further right doing the things that we want. You it's you have to understand the like the actual landscape of how Congress works and it and it sucks.
But so what you're saying is too many people in this country are really dumb.
Correct. We have to pass. Hold on. Let me finish. So, we have to pass laws based on stupid people who don't know what's going on and that problem voting. We need to like like this is this is the problem. These members of Congress that are squishy and they're like listen back home the people there, they don't understand what you're saying. So, I'm going to vote on bills that make what they want to happen. It's like, listen, these people were telling us 2 plus 2 equals 5.
Agreed. You We should Here's a test. When you go to go to the DMV, when you're registering to vote, before they hand you the voter registration, they say two plus two equals what? And if you go five, they go, "Uh, never mind." And they crop up and throw in the garbage. This is why we should have tests for voting in general because honestly, the majority of the population is stupid. Kung Fu test and and and they they don't most like repeal the 19th.
What? Repeal the 19th.
Oh, okay. All right. That's pre-based.
Yeah, absolutely. We should do a lot more repealing than just the 19th. Um there's a whole bunch only property owners.
Yeah, not even property owners, but there has to be some. We've talked about this. Only only uh uh service guarantees citizenship. Only those who have provided two years of civic duty in some form. That doesn't mean military. Uh nobody else can vote.
I like that. Taxpayer. Uh maybe. But but it's funny because uh I I tweeted that should only net taxpayers be allowed to vote and people don't understand what that means. So they all said yes. And then we're posting like I paid $100 in taxes so I get to vote. And everyone's like, "No, no, no, you don't."
No. Yeah, I agree. I do think only net taxpayers voting is is actually the way to do it because um if you create a system where people are getting money for free and then they can vote, they're going to vote for free money.
Correct. More and that's communism. That's why all communist countries collapse because what what is it? Uh uh you run out of someone else's money.
Yes.
Mhm. That's what happens. Yeah. There was this uh there's this great story maybe maybe an urban an internet urban legend where a teacher was trying to was teaching a lesson on economics uh socialism and communism and said starting now we're going to switch from the capitalist grading system to a socialist grading system. I will now average out the grade of everyone in the class and everyone will get the same grade. So, the hard workers take a test, they get A's, the average people get C's, and the slackers fail. He says, "Okay, everybody ended up with a C minus." So, the average people were like, "Whatever." The hard workers were like, "What? I busted my ass for this." And the slackers went, "Woohoo." So, the next time the test came around, the the hard workers were just like, "I'm not going to bother. I'll just get a C if I do nothing." Then, everyone got a D because people were just slacking off. By the next test, everybody failed cuz nobody nobody cared anymore. And everyone said, "What's the point? If I work really hard, I get nothing anyway."
Yeah. But now, if you're a socialist, you get uh everybody gets a free private chat. Uh that's that's oper right now. We Thanks for checking out this clip from Timcast IRL. Make sure to watch the show live Monday through Friday at 8:00 p.m. Subscribe to this channel and we will see you all there.
