We got a good show today. You can check it back on me. All right, Charlie.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Keep your pants on. Got a good show today. A very interesting young man running for Senate seat in Texas in the midterms, which is March of 2026. His name is Alexander Duncan. And he was a former cop in Los Angeles, which right there, that's no joke man, and he's running for the Senate seat so we sat down with him, I sat down and had a nice chat with him, young guy, good-looking, good-looking wife, and he
Starting point is 00:02:22 now lives in Texas. Here's part one. My guest today, ladies and gentlemen, he's running for the Senate. Yes, he's a Republican, surprise, surprise, in the great state of Texas in 2026. And he was a former police officer, and the real law and order guy, I actually think he believes in the constitution.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Please welcome Alexander Duncan. Alexander, should I call you Alex or Alexander? Alex is perfectly fine. Thank you for having me, sir. You got it, you got it. Glad to have you on. We need more people in DC. First of all, you were a cop where Alex in California or Texas?
Starting point is 00:03:10 Yes, sir. California. So right in the thick of all the mess out there. Not like not in LA where you want an LAPD cop, right? Out in LA County. Oh, LA County. Oh, yeah. Right. Same thing, essentially. Yeah. You can probably speak Spanish fluently. Just from just from the arrest. Yeah, I lived in LA from 95 to 99. And and that's when it was half decent. And I wasn't crazy about it. I never felt safe out there.
Starting point is 00:03:42 It's funny. I live in I lived New York City before I went out there. And I never felt safe out there. It's funny, I live in New York City before I went out there and I never felt safe in it. I felt like I could get it anywhere, like in an ATM machine. Do you know what I mean? It's a different vibe. It's wild out there. I mean, I don't know how anyone with any common sense wants to stay out there anymore. I equate it to Gotham. It's like Gotham City. It's just a mess. You say Gotham, I say Gamora. Yeah, same thing. Yeah, I just, it's weird. It has like, I was going to say a weird energy, but there's not much of an energy. Again, this is what I have to, I lived in New York City for a few years and
Starting point is 00:04:24 obviously there's a difference, but there was this creepiness at night and sure enough before before I left there my wife who now is my wife was my girlfriend at the time it was right before we left she was she's walking down the street and some guy comes up and punches her in the face and just I remember her calling me crying and I said look I'm busy the socks are on no I said But she got attacked for no friggin reason right before we were leaving and I said I always had that feeling that that could friggin happen So you were caught for 12 years out there Yeah, almost 13 years.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And yeah, like you said, it's wild. I can't tell you how many calls I've responded to from these unprovoked attacks where like old women are just sitting at a bus bench and then just get sucker punched out of nowhere. Yeah. It's crazy. And it's usually somebody like Gavin Newsom
Starting point is 00:05:25 and Dick Durbin that did it. No, here's a question for you. So you were out there under, when did you move to Texas? Not long ago or? Just over a year ago. Just over a year ago. So you were under,
Starting point is 00:05:40 Newsom was your governor for a few years. Oh yeah, great News great news. Yeah, great news with his you know, fantastic policies. I mean, I always say if you if you want to go to California, it's a great place to be a criminal because anything goes. I mean criminals are treated better
Starting point is 00:05:55 than your average citizen out there. And which is true right now of most blue run cities. Absolutely, like I said, it wasn't as bad when I was out there, but I always has this uneasy feeling. Yeah, there's just and like you said, why would you live? First of all, the same I'm asking this about New York City now too. I read these stories in New York City. Yeah. a little girl got attacked and I'm like how in God's name? Why would you still be living and I people go you can't just pull up because of your job whatever if your family comes first there's 40 I was gonna say 49 other states but let's forget California 48 other places you could go right so and right yeah and your tax money is high taxes and you get nothing for it, right?
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah, your tax at a crazy rate. And what does it go to? It goes to socialist policies and illegal immigrants, essentially. Not going back to helping the people at all. Oh, exactly right. And what did you did you feel hamstrung by Newsom as a cop? Or who was the who was the district attorney that everybody hated out there or gas gone thank you gas gone actually had gang bangers in
Starting point is 00:07:12 prison that had his tattoo on his name tattooed on him that's how wild right my that's true right yeah and even crazier is gas gone was a former LAPD cop you know what I didn't know that Yeah, so he just he abandoned his ways completely and just just a total radical. I mean working under him So being in LA County, he decriminalized all drugs. They wouldn't prosecute anything. They wouldn't prosecute Resisting arrest cases anymore. It was like anything goes for these criminals. It was as a police officer, we're more concerned about getting charged ourselves with a crime
Starting point is 00:07:50 than actual criminals were. Yeah, and that's the whole plan. That's exactly what they want to do. I didn't know he was in it. Makes you wonder what his impetus was for becoming a cop, probably to learn the system so he could fuck it over. I mean, that's the level they work at. I gotta give them that much credit these lefties. They really they it's a life for them. It's their religion and they and they put a lot of effort into hate in this country
Starting point is 00:08:16 and I'm glad to see a guy like you. You're early 30s right? Yes sir 34. 34 oh my god. I always do the math and I shock myself. I'm not even going to do it this time. 29 years older than this kid. He's running for Senator. I was just in there learning the first six notes to smoke on the water. On my guitar, so I'll give you an idea where I'm at. So let's talk about Texas. Are you afraid you're in
Starting point is 00:08:46 Texas now? You're probably going to be arresting the same people that leave California for Texas. I'm that I'm really I'd love to hear guys like you going from California to Texas because Texas was starting to turn
Starting point is 00:09:01 purpleish for the last few years. But you think since Trump came in, is that pretty much snuffed out or? You know, I think there's even a greater push right now with these radical leftists trying to come in here. And I don't know if you've, yeah, I don't know if you know who Jasmine Crockett is. I dated her for a few years. What a bitch.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Let me tell you. Can you imagine? I mean, go ahead. I'm sorry. I mean, that's what we have in Texas right now is I think they truly know if they could get Texas to fall, America will go right with it. So I think there's a strong push right now to get these radical leftists over here to try to flip the state.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Yeah. I was reading over the weekend, I did the story just on our show today, it came out, you know, the whole Doge thing. Doge found out that the Biden administration not only flying these illegals in, but getting them work permits and social security cards so they could vote. Now let me ask you a question, Alex, as a law and order guy, is Trump going to start arresting some of these fucking people? Otherwise, I know he's busy and I know his administration's busy and they're doing the work of God in my opinion, but it all means nothing unless I see some of these people
Starting point is 00:10:17 doing a perp walk. Yeah, right? I mean, you and me, if we do any of what's been going on, we're in handcuffs right away. And we're going to get convicted. And that's the end of that. But these people, there's no accountability for these people. They walk around and people like him who would just walk around with like almost immunity from all their crimes they've committed. Yes, we're talking about a whole administration. And I don't know, I guess they said they're looking into some of this stuff. But I don't think Cash Patel, the head of the FBI,
Starting point is 00:10:51 is going to have time. We've got so many other problems, bigger problems. What do you think of Cash Patel? We had him on the show, actually, before he was, was it a year and a half ago, maybe? Huh? Three years ago? OK, I'll half ago maybe huh three years ago okay I'll be glad soon three years ago it was oh my god yeah this is before he was obviously FBI guy so but we liked him a lot I mean he has a shit list of enemies in
Starting point is 00:11:16 yes right in Washington so are you happy about seeing a guy like that oh yeah I love that choice by by President Trump. I think he was the man for the job. And I think, you know, it takes a little bit of time once once he's been in there. But I'm hopeful we start seeing
Starting point is 00:11:34 some things from him soon. Yeah, like prosecutions of like is like you said, not even a double standard, a triple standard as far as I mean, if you cheat on your taxes, they'll be up your ass. Meanwhile, these people are throwing a lecture. And you know, I said this on the show today, I said, you really want me to believe after I read that Biden
Starting point is 00:11:54 last four years was, well, we knew he was flying in illegals, but given them social security cards and getting them on the voters, you want me to believe that he beat Trump fair and square in 2020? Right. Well, here's an even crazier story I'll tell you. One of my good friends from church, he's a pilot, and he used to have to hop on a little quick flight to get over to Dallas to fly out of.
Starting point is 00:12:17 And he'd always see if there was open seats so he could hop on. He's like, usually there's always these seats. He's like, I would show up to the airport and it was completely full. I'm like, what's going on? And He's like I would show up to the airport and it was completely full I'm like what's going on and he said I enter the airport one time There's a huge line going out the door at a special ticket counter. So he's like I go up to the police officer Hey, hey, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:12:35 He's like he's like these are all the illegals coming here to get their free one-way ticket to wherever they want to go in our country And he's like you got to be kidding me. So we're just sending them all across the country with no accountability. We don't know where any of these people are going. It's wild, it's crazy. Yeah, we would see clips of that. We would show it on the show. And even where my hometown where I grew up
Starting point is 00:12:57 in the Boston area, Logan Airport was like the worst. Boston was a working class town when I was young there. Yeah. And now it's started at the Libville, San Francisco. And they showed Logan Airport and with over 300 people laying on the floor. This was months ago because of, you know, their Asian woman friggin idiot mayor and their lesbian governor. Yeah, that's right, I said it. It's just, I can't even recognize my hometown
Starting point is 00:13:29 politically anymore, it's disgusting. Yeah, so you're, we're talking to Alex Duncan, by the way, he's running for Texas Senate seat in 2026. And I read a little bit about you and religion, I guess you weren't much of a religious guy. You were, you know, like I am now, clueless. And you explained to me how much, and it makes sense to me, as far as the law and order guy and if you know the Bible and stuff, it all seems to work together. I haven't got there yet. I'm still working on it. But how did that change your lifestyle and what you believe in?
Starting point is 00:14:08 Yeah, so it was one of those things like I always believed in God, right? I was always like, yeah, I believe in God. Like I think I'm gonna be saved from just believing in Him. Right. But you know, I kind of found myself just going down a dark path and the heaviness of California like this is kind of just like a soulless dark place. And I realized kind of quickly, like, if I don't make a change, like, I'm just going to kind of go down that same path of destruction. And I know my wife was always a strong believer, and she's ultimately like what drove me back to church. And finding that relationship with God has really changed everything for me.
Starting point is 00:14:47 And the anger I used to have, the self-serving attitude, it's kind of just all gone away with this relationship with Christ. And that's why I just want more people to experience that, because I think it's the most freeing thing you could ever do, I think, is develop that relationship with Christ. That's very interesting. As far as you you said the anger and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Look I'm 63 I don't have kids and stuff and I'm a comic and it going to those dark places is what made me funny. Not as far what we when you say you were going into a dark place was it drugs and alcohol or your lifestyle? What was it exactly? It was just more my lifestyle and outlook on life. Like I was very bitter. Oh. Just, yeah, just bitter, angry,
Starting point is 00:15:35 and everything was just, it was all self-serving. It was all about me and wanting to please myself. And I felt like, I'm like, I can't lead my family acting this way so that's what really drove me to the change because I have two young kids I'm like I need to be there for them I need I need to show them the way I can't see them I can have them see me like how I was well that's see to me that's a sign of intelligence when you have that kind of awareness that you've got to make a change in your life.
Starting point is 00:16:06 And that goes for politics, too, like David Horowitz was raised by liberal. I don't know if you know what David Horowitz was. Yes, sir. Right. Raised by liberals at New York City or whatever, and always hated the right. And he was smart enough to see how through the bullshit of the left and how evil they are and came around those and the Tulsi Gabbards and RFK juniors yeah it takes a little bit you gotta be self you gotta be very aware very conscientious and I'm not I'm still bitter and
Starting point is 00:16:36 but I people laugh at it and I make money which is very self-serving but you have kids and and I I don't make fun of religious people. I'm agnostic, I gotta be honest. My mother was very religious. I just, you know, I'm agnostic, but I don't like people who put down religion because to me we need, there is something bigger than us and it only serves us, right? Especially law and order.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Yeah, especially in the law enforcement world it's a I think because you live in that gray so long and you see such evil all the time that you you kind of find yourself participating in it because you think like well you know what I'm in here I know what to do I would know what I can get away with and it really jades a lot of people in that profession that's absolutely well you see how many cops take you know suicide route. Yeah. Because you're seeing people at their worst. That's the only time you're seeing people when you're doing job you're seeing them at their worst. I had a buddy my best friend four years
Starting point is 00:17:35 older than me he went to high school my sister but we just hit it off and right out of college he went to Miami this is in the 80s and became a cop. And in the 80s, Miami was, you know, Tony Montana, Coke everywhere, a league just like the movie he saw it all. And he had a couple of buddies while I was friends with him, a couple of cops that killed themselves. And and it really is like you said, you see a dark side and I can see how that would get to you. Why why Texas?
Starting point is 00:18:04 Did you you're from where you're from originally, Cal? Are you from Cal or no? Yes, sir. Yeah. Born and raised in Southern California. Same with my wife. But no, when it came that time, yeah. And when it came that time, we're like, we cannot raise our children here. What state aligns with our values best. And Texas was like the first, first thing that popped up was like, yes, Texas, it's freedom. They still support, you know, the nuclear family. They're so big in a faith and God out there. So I'm like, that's it. We got to go. But that's the thing. Shortly after coming here, I realized, I'm like, wow, the left is at work here. They really want this state. Really? Yeah. And that's, that's what drove me to run for Senate
Starting point is 00:18:44 because we have a very weak senator right now, John Cornyn. I mean, he says he's a Republican, but he doesn't come close to being a Republican. He's sided with the left so many times. And someone once told me like, hey, you can't complain about things unless you're willing to make the change yourself, unless you're willing to step up and try to make the change. Don't complain. So I'm like, you know what? That's what I'm going to do. You know, it's a long shot.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I know it's an uphill battle, but I got to try at least. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, everything in between. I'll be touring, doing standup comedy and modern jazz dance. April 25th, I will be at Cahoe's Mute. That's about 11 days from now, Cahoe's Musical, Cahoe's New York. Hey, I'll probably see my manager because he lives up there. Maybe I'll see Tommy, haven't seen him in about eight years. In May 15th and 16th, you can see me at Zany's in Rosemont, Illinois, a beautiful club. I'm
Starting point is 00:19:41 not crazy about comedy clubs, that one's luscious. For all you folks who love TikTok, I get great news. It just got better. Why? Because I have an account on it. Now, here's how in touch I am with tech. I thought I had one for years. My wife told me that, she thought I'd get excited.
Starting point is 00:20:02 I go, what the fuck? I didn't have one? Anyways, yeah, so I'll be posting content on there that you can't see on my Instagram or my Facebook. So open the TikTok app. And before you start looking at those stupid clips, well, there are some good ones. Like a Brazilian guy robbing a grocery store and somebody puts three in the back of his head. That's the that's porn for me.
