This is Jordy, co-founder of Midas Touch, and you're listening to The Mighty, where we highlight the most impactful musings, commentary, rants, and reactions from Midas contributors. Today, we hear from Texas Paul. Texas Paul discusses the disturbing campaign ad of MAGA cultist Eric Griden, the former disgraced Republican governor of Missouri who served a brief stint after resigning in, you guessed it, disgrace, and who is now running for Senate in Missouri. In a recent campaign ad, Eric and a team of people dress in army gear, break into someone's home, and say that they're going rhino hunting, as in trying to murder other Republicans who don't fall behind the MAGA cult. There's no metaphor in this commercial.

There's no humor in this commercial. It's a MAGA cult member armed and ready to kill others in his political party. Let's hear from Texas Paul. Hey folks, this is old Texas Paul. Got the code red shirt on today. We need to have a talk. You and your kids, your children are in danger. And we need to have a talk about it.

Before we do, let me introduce you to Eric Greitens. I'm Eric Greitens, Navy SEAL. And today, we're going rhino hunting. That's Eric Greitens. He's running for Senate in Missouri. He used to be the governor of Missouri. He was disgraced, run out of office. He, well, no easy way to say consent. He, I don't know the easiest way to say this, he forced her to have oral sex and then blackmailed her with pictures, threatened to release the pictures if she ever said anything about the affair He also

According to his ex-wife bought a gun Hit it so that the Authorities couldn't find it and blackmailed her not to say anything negative about him Or he would commit suicide. So yeah, this guy is insane and he's running for Congress. And he's talking about murdering his political opponents. Join the MAGA crew, get a rhino hunting permit. There's no bagging limit, no tagging limit and it doesn't expire until we save our country. If you don't know what a rhino is, it's what they call a Republican in name only. And if you've been following the news, you know that the radicals in the MAGA movement have been attacking people like John Cornyn at the Texas

GOP convention. Dan Crenshaw got attacked. They're eating their own and becoming more radicalized. And this is where it starts to get really scary, folks. You know, the other day we had a video from Lauren Crackhead Barbie. We all made fun of her

for not knowing that the Constitution is what guarantees your rights. The Constitution does not guarantee us freedom. The Constitution does not guarantee us rights. She didn't misspeak when she said that, folks. She absolutely meant what she said. She and the Republican establishment, the now establishment, the MAGAs,

have decided that this is going to be a Christian theocracy and that language is something that you're hearing more and more. Your rights are not guaranteed by the Constitution because when they win, not if, they engage in their fascist takeover, the first thing they're going to shred is the Constitution and they're going to do it under the authority of God. And that's where she says her rights come from. That language is pretty damn common also in the white supremacist movement.

And we've talked before about how closely married the Christian Nationalist Movement and people like Greg Locke, let me introduce you to Greg Locke, who hates Democrats and is more than ready to engage in a Christian Nationalist government. Then you have this rhetoric from Lauren Crackhead-Barbee and where does it lead? It leads to the white supremacist movements that are married to the GOP via their rhetoric. If you listen to what the white supremacists say, it's always immigrants are coming to take your welfare. It's God told

us to have a white national state, that we whites need our own state. And it's ordained by God. It's in the Bible. You know, this is what they Bible. This is what they preach, this is what they preach and they're coming after your children. For the longest time these movements like you've got Vanguard America, you had a group called Identity Europa that's rebranded themselves as the American identity movement. And, you know, we all saw the arrest of the Patriot Front, you know, these guys. They all have been recruiting at colleges, but the colleges have been doing their best to police it. They go and tear down the propaganda that these guys post up around campus. The problem is these guys have figured out,

Identity Europa had their communications hacked and they specifically said trying to infiltrate the GOP directly is broke. Infiltrating Turning Point USA is woke. And Turning Point USA is another one of these nationwide youth groups, conservative youth groups that are in high schools and colleges all over the country. They boast over a thousand chapters.

They claim to not be a white supremacist movement and they aren't designated a white supremacist movement because whenever they publicly have one of these wackadoodle white nationalists outed they throw them out. But they're there and the white nationalists themselves tell you they're there and it's easy recruiting for them because listen to the rhetoric of Republicans you know we need to get rid of welfare we need stronger laws to put criminals in jail and when they talk about criminals they're always talking about people of color. They talk about the anti-immigration rhetoric about we need to secure our borders which means we need to shut our borders, we need a white nationalist state.

It's easy for them to infiltrate these groups, it's easy for them to talk to young white men and start out with just the Republican rhetoric and then coax them over to the nationalist movement and that's how they're recruiting. You know we all thought these old racists would die off and when we saw groups like the Patriot Front arrested, we thought, I got so many comments. Man, look at these guys. They're young. How did this happen? How in a society today that is so aware, so awake, so woke, we believe in not hating our LGBTQI brothers and sisters.

We believe in multiculturalism. Everybody does better when everybody does better. How did we get these kids in these movements? Well they're coming after your kids at school and you need to be aware of that. You need to be aware of that. And what's so scary about it is as they succeed, it will be the most radical. It will be the Eric Greitens that are willing to be violent. It will be the most radical, the white supremacists who are willing to do anything.

Look at Oklahoma City. That was a white Christian nationalist. They're willing to do anything. They will take power. Greg Locke will be the church that runs this country. You have to vote Democrat, folks. Thanks, Texas Paul. This is disturbing, folks. One of the tactics of a fascist movement is to first purge its movement of those who don't pass a purity test behind a dictator. The MAGA GOP are trying to create a fascist authoritarian

country in America, and if we are not loud and vote them out in November, our democracy may not survive. This is The Mighty.
