Starting point is 00:00:00 Is Zora Mamdani Authentic, a debate with Tinfoil Pat, two a days, Dan, and you, the Willisha. Two, Corrine Jean-Pierre continues to give incredible insight and incredible interviews. They make you wonder how she was ever, how was she ever the White House press secretary with Kennedy. Three, state of Texas has sued Tylenol over links to autism. We're going to be joined by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. It is Will Kane Country on a Tuesday with a big show for you today. Walking into this studio in a matter of minutes will be the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to inform us about the lawsuit filed this morning against Tylenol.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Deceptive marketing. Depriving the consumer of known information is the allegation of links between autism and Tylenol. Plus, joining us in just moments will be Kennedy, the host, of Kennedy Saves the World. But let's get into it with story number one. Authenticity. That was the claim made yesterday here on Wilcane Country. That Zoramam Dhani, a Democrat socialist, by all accounts a communist, gathering 14,000 at Forest Hill Stadium in Queens, has connected with the New York voter over affordability, over a populist message and over his honesty, over his authenticity.
Starting point is 00:02:03 I laid that out for you in contrast to the governor of California, Gavin Newsom. But I heard from you, I heard from the Willisha, like H.R.H. Angelique, who said to me, Will, from your show today, Mom Donnie isn't authentic, same as Newsome. Mom Donnie, smiling at everything, wanting to tax the rich when he himself comes for money, and not having specific enough answers while claiming he has solutions, nothing about him is authentic. My response to Angelique was as follows. Do you think that Joseph Stalin stood in the breadlines? Do you think that Mao came from the streets?
Starting point is 00:02:47 Do you think that communist leaders dine with the masses? Hypocrisy is not a bug but a feature of communism. But hypocrisy, I do not think. reveals an inauthenticity. Rules for thee, but not for me, is part of Marxism. And I think Zoramam Dhani is being honest about his hatred of America and his love of Marxism. I think he's laying it out, very well and obvious, for the voters to see in New York, and shockingly for many of us, sadly for many of us, this message is resonating, not just in New York, but the point of this conversation is increasingly across.
Starting point is 00:03:27 the country. And my contention is that the Democrat Party will not be defined in the future by the corporate plastic fakeness of Gavin Newsom, brand that it made popular by Hillary Clinton. But it will be defined more honestly as the party of socialism, as the party of Zoramamdani, as the party of AOC as the party of Bernie Sanders. But it wasn't just you and the Walletia that disagrees. So, too, do tinfoil. Pat and two a days Dan. I want to bring them into the conversation, but I also want to
Starting point is 00:04:03 inform you of a new report out of Fox News Digital. It reads inside the Mamdani machine. Soros Cash, socialist, and radical moms engineered Zoram Mamdani's path to
Starting point is 00:04:19 power. It shows that over a decade, this rise has been astroturfed for For Zoro Mamdani, Fox News Digital writes that a database of 110 groups backing Mamdani exposes a tight inner circle of organizations that identify as Muslim or socialist, working hand-in-glove with 76 Democrat Party affiliates, allied groups, and unions. Particularly important in this political machine are two networks.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Linda Sarzar, alleged anti-Semites, empower organization and another constellation of groups called Engage, which she works closely with. The organizations have been generously funded in total billionaire George Soros' open society philanthropies, have given empower and engage nearly $2.5 million in recent years, according to tax filings. There are pictures going back a decade to a very young, early 20s, Zora Mamdani, with Sarsor, showing that this has been in the making. This is not overnight. But for me, fellas, tin foil pat, two-day stand. For me, this does not suggest inauthenticity. This is real. This is who he is. And I think less than any other politician in a recent memory,
Starting point is 00:05:41 at least from the left, he's not hiding the ball. Now, I'm open to hearing from the Wollisha, and I'm open to hearing from both of you. Most notably, someone who thinks I'm wrong is tinfoil Pat. yes i i think that um i think that um i think the mondani is is very he does believe in in his radicalization but i don't i think that this level of authenticity is actually just a really good play he's just a better salesman than newsome i i think that um that he just isn't really exposing who he truly is at the face value. You're not along, Dan.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Yeah, I kind of agree. I mean, I think he has a lot more radical views that he's hiding. I think, you know, I think he believes in what he's doing, but he's changed his tune a lot of late, and I think it is, you know, swaying some people to his direction when maybe when he gets in office, things will, you know, you know, actually show how he is, but I think he's hiding a little bit. I think one of the things you can look at is like the way he eats the rice of his hands
Starting point is 00:07:03 is a perfect example of this. Like he's just playing a character in order to do what people, what he wants people to think he is about while he dines in a fine dining restaurant other days. Yeah, behind the closed doors. You don't think he grew up eating rice with his hand. that's that's that's that's that's playing a character 100% yeah well I mean
Starting point is 00:07:32 as a feather in your cap as a further piece of evidence I mean this is this is his background right he was a wannabe rapper he was a filmmaker he was an actor he comes from this world and so you would assume more than the normal D-list politician he's a more advanced theater kid who could who could play this character I guess what I am
Starting point is 00:07:52 saying is you have never, I'm just checking myself on never, but I think it's fair to say you have never had as honest of a socialist campaign run with socialist policies at this level with this kind of success in my lifetime in America. And with that, it requires us to recognize exactly what is happening. And what is happening is not just about Mamdani. To dismiss him as a theater kid is to dismiss exactly what's happening in that stadium in New York. Now, I'm concerned about Mamdani, but my concern about Mamdani pales in my comparison to the concern over the embrace of this most extreme candidacy in my lifetime in America. I'm more concerned with that stadium full of cheering people than I am with the man himself, Zoroamam Dani.
Starting point is 00:08:57 And Dan, you walk the streets of New York and you dine at Brooklyn brunches. But I think we are, if not crossing, we're standing at the water's edge of the Rubicon, where now the left in notable numbers, not simply fringe green candidates, but Mayor Democrat candidates are ready to say, I'm not Bill Clinton. I'm a Democrat socialist. And that is a level of authenticity that perhaps is healthy, and that many of us suspected that that's the demon lurking underneath the skin of, you know, the self-proclaimed moderate. it. But I just think that Zora Mamdani is more out front about who he's been and has been received with more warmth and openness than I could have ever anticipated. I know New York is left. I guess I didn't know fully that New York was Zoramam Dani. And that has forced honesty into the American political discourse. And my suspicion is it's only the beginning. beginning. It's only the beginning. We will have these same debates on presidential debate stages
Starting point is 00:10:22 within a matter of years, not decades, but a matter of years. Well, we will have candidates running for president. We will have candidates running for Senate. We will have candidates running for governor that success or failure, win or lose, will be honest about their vision of America in the way that I feel like we've achieved some honesty from Zohra Mamdani. Back to you guys one more time for one more round, two-a-day stand. No, I just wanted, I was curious what you think about how he compares to like a Bernie Sanders, who's already been on the presidential stage, because he's a Democratic socialist. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Where does he, we've already seen that. We've already seen people like that rally around someone who calls himself a socialist. I think in that regard. A better version. Yeah. In that regard, like, people, the reason that he's succeeding is because of populism. And there is a strain in American society where people are concerned about certain things. And what he's doing is he's kind of hiding, he's like hiding the socialism part of it by highlighting people's concerns and problems, but not actually giving them real solutions and like what he would actually do.
Starting point is 00:11:40 He's toned it down. I don't know if he's hiding. I think. Tone it down. Yeah. I mean, like, people think that they can fix the problems. I think socialism has always come through the Trojan horse of populism to solve your affordability problems, to give you cheaper bus fares to create a public grocery store. I think it's pretty obvious. Then again, I also thought it was obvious with Barack Obama. Let's discuss this. Plus, Gavin Newsom is mad that Joe Rogan just won't invite him on his podcast, and you've got to hear the latest interview from Corrine Jean-Pierre. up with Kennedy on Will Cain Country. Barack Obama just spoken of is very mad, apparently, at Nancy Pelosi for rapidly endorsing Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:12:34 It is Will Cain Country streaming live at the Wilcane Country YouTube channel. The Fox News Facebook page, but you can always follow us on Spotify. or on Apple. That's where you'll also find Kennedy Saves the World. Joining us now is the host of Kennedy Saves the World. Kennedy. What's up, Kennedy? Will, it's good to be in your country. It is good to have you in the country. Thank you. You may have heard some of this conversation I just had with the boys, and I've had with some of my audience as well. And it may be a bit of navel-gazing or it may be a little bit rhetorical of whether or not Zora Mamdani. is authentic. And I think a lot of people Kennedy see that word, authenticity, as a compliment.
Starting point is 00:13:20 And it is a compliment if what you authentically reveal is complementary. Authenticity is one of those things. It's like the first filter or the lowest bar. You want to see how somebody is, if they're real, but you're perfectly capable of not liking what you really see. And I think I've made the argument that Zora Mamdadi, more so than many other politicians, is very real. He's very authentic. And he may be hiding the ball a little bit about his radicalism. He may be more of a communist than a Democrat socialist. But it says something to me, the way he has put himself out there, what he has offered up, what he has said about himself, and the way that he has been embraced by New York. I don't know that he's been embraced by a lot of New York. To be
Starting point is 00:14:09 completely honest. I think New Yorkers are really upset that they don't have a better slate of candidates because a lot of people that I talk to, I live in New York City, a lot of people I talk to, they're not excited about him. And they understand. New Yorkers are pretty smart. They're pretty perceptive people. You have to be when you're navigating a city that, you know, in the flip of a switch, can turn very dangerous, you know, and you can be held hostage in a subway car. Everyone's got a subway story. And, you know, people know, especially people who have lived here through successive mayors, they know that it can get a lot worse. But they don't like the other candidates that they have. You know, New Yorkers have been subjected to Andrew Cuomo for a long time.
Starting point is 00:14:55 They don't see his stint as governor as being particularly successful, especially after COVID. You know, everyone in New York knows someone who died because of COVID. And a lot of people know someone who died in a nursing home because of Cuomo's policies that he was very unapologetic for. And, you know, what they don't appreciate is someone who comes into a race and just assumes that it's going to be a coronation and doesn't work for it. New Yorkers, it doesn't matter if you are on Wall Street or if you are on every form of government assistance. New Yorkers, by and large hustle and they work really, really hard. And when someone comes into a race and they don't work for your votes,
Starting point is 00:15:38 you don't have any respect for him. So, and, you know, they look at Mom Donnie and they don't like his ideas. They don't like the idea of higher taxation. Of course, everyone is in love with the idea of affordability. But that doesn't happen under socialism. You get a greater bifurcation. You know, it's like if you're living in the black market,
Starting point is 00:15:58 you are thriving. But if you are dependent on the government-run grocery stores, you are going to starve. So, you know, they look at the guy and they're like, well, at least he's, he's traversing all five boroughs, you know, with a goofy smile in those dimples, and he is authentic. Jeffrey Dahmer was authentic. Brian Colberger, authentic. You know, it's like, authentic can still mean terrifying. And just because he's a principal person doesn't mean that his principles are good.
Starting point is 00:16:31 They're pretty awful. and to your point, he has shown you exactly what they are. And that should be terrifying for people, but instead they are buying into the idea, this zero-sum idea that if rich people have something, they have taken it from poor people. You know, basic economics. Adam Smith disprove that centuries ago,
Starting point is 00:16:56 but people are still buying into that because it's an easier thing to swallow then I have to change my behavior in order to make my life more affordable. No one wants to do that. That sucks. But for a lot of people, if you are building wealth, that is the reality. All right. It's interesting.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I agree with everything you just said, except for that except for your dismissiveness of his embrace inside New York City. and that he is benefiting from simply being a workhorse who visits all five boroughs. I think there are a lot of people that are ready to accept that message that you just gave. That message of it's somebody else's fault, my station in life. And I'm having trouble with inflation, so I want a city-run grocery store, or I want to ride the bus for free. I think that message resonates. And I don't think it's just about New York. You know, nobody saw Donald Trump coming.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Nobody saw it coming, okay? and then he redefines the Republican Party. First, he's laughed at and dismissed, you know, and then they have to later reconcile themselves. I'm talking about mostly people on the right to him. And the dire straits of the Democrat Party and the left in general makes it wide open for someone to come in from seemingly out of nowhere and redefine what it means to be a Democrat. And I kind of think that's happening, Kennedy. And I'm not saying it is Zoroamam Dhani. I don't think Zoh-Ram-Dani has national political potential. I don't think.
Starting point is 00:18:34 But I think what he's talking about has national political potential to win a primary for Democrats. That's what I think I'm seeing here. I mean, Bernie almost did. Bernie almost won the nomination. Yeah. Yeah. And so what I guess I'm looking at is that we're arriving at this point in America where the Democrat Party is ready to become and known as the Democrat Social
Starting point is 00:18:58 party and run on those types of ideas and maybe be championed by someone the field will be full of Cuomo, right? It'll be filled with the corporate Democrats. But on that stage, we'll be someone. And it's hard because AOC is kind of a clown. And I don't know. I don't know who that character is. But I do think that's what's coming. And I don't take that unsuriously. So Pete Buttigieg has zero black support. He's pretty good in debates. You know, know, he's, he is. By the way, just endorsed Mom Donnie. He seems to be falling into the corner of Mom Donnie. I saw that. And it just goes to show you that the Democrat Party is not a principled party. You know, this is a party without a leader that is desperate for anything to stick to the
Starting point is 00:19:44 wall. They've thrown all sorts of spaghetti at it. And nothing is sticking except for, you know, they do have ideas. They do have principles. Those principles have resulted in a hundred million deaths worldwide because you cannot uncouple socialism from communism, no matter how you shallack it, no matter how you try and paint it. So Buttigieg isn't going to get the nomination. AOC isn't going to get the nomination because she's never really been challenged. If you watch some of her earlier interviews, you know, she completely crumbles when she is in hostile territory and someone asks her a basic follow-up question. So when she is on a debate stage, with eight or nine people who are ready to dismantle her hypocrisy,
Starting point is 00:20:33 she's not going to carry the mantle for the party. Kamala is, you know, she's a non-starter. At this point, she can't even run for governor in California. She was trying to do in California what Cuomo was trying to do in New York. Like take a few steps down the ladder, land on a comfortable rung, and then climb your way back up. That's not going to work. That's not what people want.
Starting point is 00:20:57 I think Newsom, I can't stand him, but in terms of how the field is shaking out right now, he will be the best, most practiced debate around that stage because like him or not, and I can't stand him, he at least puts himself in the company of people who diametrically oppose him. And all he has are rhetorical manipulations. the guy is completely empty the facts are not on his side you know he is not allergic to bald face lies so i you know but he will study other people's weaknesses and using that that will be his winning strategy all right let's talk about him for a moment okay governor gavin newsom is upset that he has not been invited on to Joe Rogan's podcast.
Starting point is 00:21:57 This is what he's having to say today about Joe Rogan. He wanted, look, he hasn't, for years and years, he's been attacking me, and it's one way, and he won't have me on. He's consistently not having me on. By the way, I'm moving on. I have no interest. You're done with him? Joe Rogan's the Facebook of podcasting.
Starting point is 00:22:14 He was sitting across one of the brightest minds in podcasting right now. The guy was in the mic, and there are a lot of people at the mic, extraordinary things yeah uh in podcast rogan's a pretty big audience still you know what but with all due respect if he's if he has a big audience and he but he doesn't have big enough confidence i didn't go there to have me on well you call him a chicken but he's been attacking for but here's the thing these guys they all have something common it's one way they attack they belittle they demean they take things out of context this is what the interviewer is talking about with Gavin Newsom.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Gavin Newsom on X, in response to some Joe Rogan criticism, posted balk, bach, Joe Rogan, and then an emoji of a chicken, calling Joe Rogan a chicken. Gavin Newsom really badly wants to be on Joe Rogan's podcast, and he's really upset, Kennedy. Now he hates him, you know. I don't want to go on. She won't date me, so I hate her. She turned me down. She's ugly.
Starting point is 00:23:17 She looks fat, Matt dress. So I hate her. She's super ugly. Yeah. I don't like her. You ever seen how chop she is? A minute she calls, a minute she snaps. What's up?
Starting point is 00:23:30 See, I thought, I had to turn to my teens and ask them like, is chopped like shredded? Because I just assumed they were the same thing. Because it sounds like something you do with the sharp object to meet. And they're like, no, chopped is ugly. And I was like, all right, you guys are just making stuff up at this point. I can't, I cannot cosign. so different than what you did back in the day on MTV. We didn't just make up slang in our generation,
Starting point is 00:23:57 but the kids these days, they're just making words up. They're just making things up. Get off my lawn, Jensie. But also, Newsom has not risen to the level where Rogan has to offer him three hours. Rogan doesn't do a 10-minute interview. He does a full three hours. I don't want to hear Newsom for three hours.
Starting point is 00:24:21 No one in Joe Rogan's audience does. I did it. I did it. I listened to Joe Rogan for two hours. I mean, I listened to Gavin Newsom for two hours on Sean Ryan. Yeah. Sean Ryan had him. And I was curious. I was like, okay, I want to see, right? And it's a lot like what he did in a debate with Ron DeSantis, but just more bro to it. More like, yeah, man, more bro, more, you know, every man, locker room, PC, principal guy. But it's a lot of twisting of facts and twisting of stats. He is the best at
Starting point is 00:24:57 that. He can twist anything into, he can literally turn people moving out of California because the policies are so bad into a positive for California. I'm telling you, he does it. He's got a line, he's got some stats, and he will make it sound like everybody loves California. They're hobophobes. They hate the hobos and good riddance. I'm glad they're God because it just leaves the The best of California behind. Yeah. But if I'm Rogan, I'm like, I don't want this for three hours. It's exhausting.
Starting point is 00:25:29 You left a fact check literally every sentence that comes out of Gavin Newson's mouth. Every single one. There is no moving forward. Like, there's no, like, a linear conversation. It would be stuck in mud because everything is a lie. Yeah, he's a super creep. He's a scary person. he by all accounts not a really great person and now he speaks jive now he's going on podcasting
Starting point is 00:25:59 like i was a craft macaroni and cheese kid yeah i was a hustler i raised myself on the streets wonder bread i was i was big pimping from the time i was a teen and it's like and i love like adam carolla just completely jiu-jitsued him and it's like no your dad was the Lead attorney for the Gettys. Like, Getty money. Yeah. Funded your winery when you were 25. You were always a fancy lad.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Yes. You were always less than zero. Patrick Bateman. Brett East and Ellis character come to life. Yes. Wearing a burberry scarf. Here's what Joe Rogan had to say about the prospect of talking to Gavin Newsom. Yeah, when is he coming on?
Starting point is 00:26:46 He's talking some shit on Twitter. I know. it's like you think that's gonna work like that's so stupid like this is such a bad look yeah it's a bad choice there's a little desperation in it but it's just stupid it's like this is a bad strategy like i probably would have had him on yeah but now i'm like no what are you doing there is a fun version where you just do it and cook him you know who cook himself i mean that seems to be all you have to do is just ask him questions yeah it's like why are people leaving well why do you say this thing all the time where you rattle off all the good things about
Starting point is 00:27:18 California. When anybody says something bad about California, it's like, number one at Fortune 500 companies, number one in higher education, number one. It was all that before you were there. It was all that forever. It's because the weather's perfect, man. It has nothing to do with you. Yeah, and by the way, he says more people are moving to California than have left. That's what he does. Not only would I not be able to conduct that interview, I don't want to listen to that interview. There are very few. I want to hear, I want to hear what Bernie Sanders says. I actually want to hear what Zoramamandani says, because I think it's important to know. It's not important to know anything Gavin Newsom says. He's not adding anything. And who is he?
Starting point is 00:28:01 Like, what is a Newsome Democrat? That's what you always have to ask yourself, because I think you can look at the stadiums, the full stadiums at Trump rallies. And you can look at the full stadiums. I mean, they have to have three socialists on the bill. You have to have AOC, Bernie, and Baumdani. in order to have the same effect. But what is it that is electrifying people
Starting point is 00:28:23 and is there common ground? Someone like Gavin Newsom doesn't have that. I cannot imagine Gavin Newsom going to the Irvine Amphitheater and, you know, a large number of people buying tickets. He's just, and that's why he's doing podcasts. You know, he sits and thinks about this manipulation. He could fill up. up a balloon full of hot farts.
Starting point is 00:28:51 That's all he's good for. Trump fills up Madison Square Garden. Mom Donnie fills up Forest Hills Stadium with capacity 14,000. Newsom fills up a balloon of hot farts. That's about right. It's about the state of our politics. I can't get enough. You can't get enough of Kennedy.
Starting point is 00:29:11 So don't go anywhere as we continue this conversation with Kennedy on Will King Country. That's annoying. What? You're a muffler. You don't hear us. Oh, I don't even notice it. I usually drown it out with the radio. How's this? Oh, yeah. Way better. Save on insurance by switching to Bell Air Direct and use the money to fix your car.

By the way, you brought up Kamala Harris. News out today. So President Obama was incredibly upset with Nancy Pelosi for after Joe Biden bowing out, something they worked on together, Kennedy,
Starting point is 00:30:12 Obama and Pelosi getting Biden to drop out. She quickly, I believe it was in 24 to, 48 hours endorsed Kamala Harris. The report is Obama said, what the F did you just do? Obama's furious call to Nancy Pelosi after election betrayal. He wanted a more open contest where more people had their names in the middle of the ring vying to be the Democrat candidate. She told him that horse has left the barn. Pretty interesting because, by the way, everybody considers Kamala Harris in the Barack Obama wing of the Democrat Party. That's when he knew that he had lost control of the party. That moment, Pelosi's endorsement of Harris. It's like, who is she beholden to? Like, she's already turfed Biden. Biden hates her. Kamala's not going to win.
Starting point is 00:31:01 You know, there's not a place for Nancy Pelosi in the Kamala Harris administration. And, you know, she just blown all of her capital and goodwill with the Obama's. So I don't understand that because Obama and Pelosi knew exactly what was happening. You know, before they forced Biden out of the race, and he didn't want to go. He went kicking and screaming. He's still yapping about it when he's not falling. And they knew that there had to be a plan in place, and the plan was an open primary. And I believe a thousand percent that they did not pull the trigger on forcing Biden out until they had a plan.
Starting point is 00:31:42 And, you know, maybe she has some neurological decline going on. You know, maybe she has some cognitive issues where... Well, she's 85. Yeah, where she forgot that she and Biden had, or she and Obama had made a deal when they forced Biden out. And she just completely, because that is, that is a massive shift. Like, I don't blame Obama for being upset, but I also think he's upset because he has lost control of everything. So, you know, when Kamala's asked recently, like, who is a leader of the Democrat Party? She's like, oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:22 I don't know. Like, it could be, I don't want to leave anyone off the list. And it's like, well, the only answer is like, me. You know, it me. I'm the one. I'm not done. But it's not her. She knows it.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Obama knows it's not him. So it's like, AOC is putting on a ruby red lipstick. She's like, I'm going to Taylor Swift this moment right now, and I'm going to have an era where I'm the head of the Democrat Party. Oh, my God, it's going to be amazing. How about this from inside of Biden camps? Well, this is New York Magazine. The writer is Isaac Chotner.
Starting point is 00:32:59 He has an interview with Corrine John Pierre. The headline reads, Why Biden's White House press secretary is leaving the Democrat Party. Corrine Jean-Pier feels that Democrats were so mean to Biden that she is becoming an independent. Inside it, the Q&A reads like this, Kennedy. I'll do my best. I don't think you have a transcript in front of you.
Starting point is 00:33:15 It deserves a dramatic reading. The interviewer says, I'm not sure. No. I'm not sure what you're saying. I believe this is from the interview. No, no. Now it says Korean Jean-Pierre. Wait a minute. You're saying this was their thinking and they were kind of predicting, but nobody knew this was going to happen. Nobody knew that Joe Biden was going to win in 2020. Nobody knew that what was going to happen in 2024. People believed in their hearts that Kamala was going to win. They believed it. They saw the polling and they thought she was going to win, looking at the polling. Nobody knew anything. I'm only bringing up the poll. I'm only bringing up the poll. because you brought up the polls to me. The interview says, sorry, I'm not trying to be dense. I'm a little unclear about what this has to do with Democrat leaders and Democrats in the country thinking that Joe Biden was going to lose to Donald Trump, which is what all the polls showed and therefore thinking he should be replaced.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Okay, wait a minute, she says. Hold on a second. Nobody knows anything. Nobody knows what would have happened. People also thought if you replaced Joe Biden, we weren't going to win or have a better chance of winning. millions of people who showed up in 2020 didn't show up in 2024. We can't forget there was this incumbency issue as well. This is real.
Starting point is 00:34:26 There are like several G10 countries with incumbents who did not get reelected. There was an incumbency issue as well. People pointing to this interview, Kennedy, is like the most confusing, mangled, somehow antagonistic interview with New York Magazine with Corrine Jean-Pier. And she's doing a lot of interviews right now where she's really, debating herself on things she said and defending Joe Biden and why he was replaced with Kamala Harris. And it all leads to a really obvious, you know, how was this woman ever press secretary? Well, they obviously didn't do a good job of vetting her. And, you know, she didn't
Starting point is 00:35:06 make it through the traditional interview process that normal people would be subjected to. And, you know, and that was detrimental to the Biden administration. And she was obviously, just a supplicant and an outsider. You know, she was a Joe Biden leg humper who was not allowed inside the sanctum of the presidential committee that was actually running this country. And it was obvious based on her briefings. I mean, first of all, she's not coherent and she can't string a few sentences together to make a point. You know, it's like I read those paragraphs, I listen to the
Starting point is 00:35:51 oral presentation that you've just made, and I'm wondering like, what is the thesis here? Like, what is she saying? Because, you know, I'm trying to be a generous audience and, you know, go along with her wherever she's going. I have no idea where
Starting point is 00:36:07 she's going. Because sometimes she says... Well, she does it. But one thing you know she's going to do is be dismissive and be condescending. And that's how she covers up. her lack of intellect and insight. Yeah, no insight. And she's like, okay, I've already spoken to that. No, you haven't.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Like, if you've got members of the press who were asking the same questions while she was press secretary, you know, basic questions that you should have an answer for that are the most anticipated possible questions and you don't have an answer. And you say, I've already spoken to that. The president has already spoken to that. Well, clearly not satisfactorily enough. And then, you know, she goes on this to her and it's like, What is your point? Democrats were so awful that that's why Joe Biden isn't president.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Well, what insight do you have as to whether or not he wanted to remain president? What insight do you have as to whether or not he had to take cognitive tests if, you know, Dr. Jill, the real doctor or Dr. Kevin, whoever the hell that guy is, if they forced him to take these tests so they knew what they were dealing with? Like, Corinne Jean-Pierre could have given us that sort of insight, but she doesn't lay any of these myths to rest. You know, I have less confidence in her now, and I realize that someone who was that poorly equipped to run the comm shop at the White House is just emblematic of how the White House and the president were crumbling. Yeah, because let's put a fine point. She was a DEI hired that was hired because she was black and LGBTQ. That's what she was. And they could put that out front. And they did that throughout the entire administration. And now you have people like Joe Manchin saying that he told President Biden, hey, man, you're not like this. You have the most radical staff that I've ever seen in Washington, D.C. Your staff is radically left. And that's what Manchin says. he told Biden. And he's like, that's not who you've been as a senator. And the way that they got that way is by prioritizing things like DEI and putting someone like Corrine Jean-Pierre in place. And it wasn't just her. It was all throughout the administration.
Starting point is 00:38:24 That's what happens when you are devoid of ideas. You know, you think gestures like that and virtue signaling will take you to future victory. And it's, just not going to happen because at some point, DEI is not an operating principle. It's great in theory that there are people out there who look around and say, why haven't certain people in this country receive the same opportunities? That's a valid question. But trying to fix the outcomes doesn't lead to better policy. And it doesn't lead to better decisions or manifestation for people who are truly hurting.
Starting point is 00:39:13 And so they look at this and they go, that's just empty virtue signaling. That does not bring down the price of groceries. That does not help me save for my future. That does not give me confidence that at some point I'm going to be able to buy a house. It's empty. And that's emptiness versus the real danger of socialism that is, lurking and it's because they offered nothing that socialism filled that void and and that is the danger that we are going to be stuck with totally to bring this full circle that's where we are
Starting point is 00:39:51 or very very it's where you are in new york and where i think we all will be soon in this country check her out on kennedy saves the world thank you for hanging out with us today kennedy always good to see you you too thanks my friend okay Texas the state of texas has sued Tylenol over links to autism.

We're joined now by the Texas.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Attorney General, Ken Paxton. Mr. Attorney General. Good to be here. Thanks. Love it. It is Mr. Attorney General, right? It's, I think the normal title is General, whatever your last name. Well, I heard President Trump call Pam Bondi, General Bondi the other day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:52 So it's General Paxton? Yeah, that's the title. I thought it was actually when I first heard that title. I heard of Abbott. And I thought, did he just make up a general title for himself? No, it's... He made himself a four-star? And it's funny, because I have a daughter in the Air Force.
Starting point is 00:42:05 she was a captain. I said, I want you to know I outrank you. I'm a general. She's because you're not a real general. I said, no, I'm the full general. I'm like the four star. It's funny. Before I heard Trump call Bondi, General Bondi, I don't just, I haven't just, I don't hear people refer to you as General Paxton. I do hear people say Mr. Attorney General a lot. Or Mr. Secretary. Because most people aren't around an attorney general, they've been told the proper sort of title. I don't care. And that's just. And if you're in a room with a bunch of Attorney General, it's not Attorney Generals. It's attorney's general. That's exactly right. And the way to really confuse people, if you got a bunch of attorney, just say general and everybody's head will snap. But see, now, if you're a general, why would it be attorney's general and not attorney generals? Who knows? See? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:42:50 You see where I'm going here? You've got a good point. But it is funny to be in a room and then you hear there words. Somebody says general and you've got five attorney generals snap their head around. You get conditioned, right? By the way, the general is running for Senate as well in the state. to Texas. We're going to talk about that a little bit here today as well. But first, the news as of this morning is that you as Attorney General of Texas have sued Tylenol. I believe it's for
Starting point is 00:43:14 deceptive marketing practices, links to autism. Let's talk a little bit about the merits in the basis of the suit first. For what are you suing Tylenol? So we've looked at studies that suggests that they knew this, that they're pregnant women are affected, the children are affected, that there's a much higher incidence of autism and ADHD when Tylenol is used during pregnancy. And so they knew it. And you can tell by how they legally structured everything. They moved that liability, that product to a separate company and basically separated and put no assets in that company to make it less likely that they would lose any money. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:43:54 It was in a separate company. Kenview, which I don't like the first part of the name there, Kenview. that's it that's what they did and and your contention is they did that to shield the rest of the company from the liability over talanol yeah so why would you do that why would you separate that off totally separate company totally separate balance sheet uh no connection to Johnson and Johnson which owned the product and it was a you know product that sold obviously Tylenol sold all over the all over the world and yet they wanted to separate that company have they done that with other drugs not that I'm aware of that's the one I know, but I know, I know this case better. They know other drugs. Right. I just wondered if it's standard practice for them with, or it's completely out of the norm for them. We sued them before. I think they did it one other time with talcum powder. We sued them over that. We got a win on that as well. I'm pretty sure they separate, they tried. I remember the talcum powder suit. What was that about that it's connected to birth defects as well? Yes, that it had some, you know, negative
Starting point is 00:44:51 effect on, I think it was children. It's been years since we. And you won that suit? Yes. Now, So famously, the Trump administration, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kenny, introduced this idea that Tylenol could be linked to autism. After that news, after that press conference that day, people did dig back. There are warnings. There have been in the past. Tylenol has posted it on social media saying it could be connected to birth defects, neurological birth defects. You brought up ADHD as well. So it would seem to me for your suit to be successful, you have to establish two clear things. Number one, that it is connected to autism, and two, that they knew it was connected to autism. Yeah, and that's what when you file a lawsuit, that's part of what happens, discovery. You get
Starting point is 00:45:37 to ask them questions, you get to get their documents, you get to see what they knew. So part of the litigation process is that, discovering what they knew, when they knew it, and what did they know? What about the first question, that it definitively is connected to autism? That would be something they would try to get the I assume the entire suit thrown out you can do that can you do that in summary judgment like there's no causal link here so everything else if if if we uh but hopefully we would at least have the opportunity to do discovery before they get summary judgment because they'd have to show a pretty high likelihood that we had no chance of winning summary judgment well a motion dismissed would be first summary judgment is later in the process after you've had the opportunity
Starting point is 00:46:19 to do some discovery and if we did discovery found no connection but we also have studies that we're relying on. So we're going to be looking at what they knew and also the studies, the scientific studies that we've already had. Those studies are key, right? Because thank you for reminding me of what I've forgotten from three years of law school. But emotion dismissed will be the first thing that you see, and that will be based upon, I'm sure, a defense they're going to make, which is it's not connected to autism. Yeah, so emotion to dismiss typically you have to accept everything being said about you as true and you still win. So I don't think that's going to happen if it was true. But to the point, you do have studies, I'm sure some of the same studies that were referred to by the Trump administration, that acetaminopin is connected specifically to autism or neurological disorders more generally. To autism and ADHD.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Okay. So those are the two that I know that we cited and that I'm aware have a higher incidence when you take acetamine. And what about, I'm sure one of the things they'll say is it's, autism is multi-causal. Like, you know, even if there's some link here, it's not enough. Sure. I'm sure they're going to say that, and we'll be trying to show that acetaminifin is connected to the higher incidence. That's what the study indicates. And likely some of their documents are going to tell us more information about what they knew and whether they knew that.
Starting point is 00:47:42 And the fact that you talked about, I think it was in 2017, they did discuss the fact that there was a connection. So I think they knew it and the fact that they separated off that liability and that that particular brand was separated off to a separate company that's no longer related to John. Yeah, it's very curious they're putting out warnings on social media for them to be completely innocent now. Right. And the separation of the companies. Why would they do that? Why would you take a product that's very profitable and separate it off and want nothing to do with it? What about, and I'm just thinking through the merits of this with you, once they put that warning out, do they actually absolve themselves of some liability? So you can make an argument that there is some of that, but at the same time, if they knew that there was higher incidents, I think they had a higher obligation to potentially stop marketing the product. And then there's a timing issue as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:31 When did they know if they knew? Exactly. And then when did the warning go out? How long was Tylenol marketed as safe for pregnant women before they ultimately put out a warning, hey, it's not that safe? Yeah, I would guess most pregnant women, had they known that, would not want to subject their children to autism and ADHD. That's a long, you know, it's a lifelong problem. So it's a pretty high risk for the pregnant woman to continue on something they knew that they had knowledge of. So, you know, you know, most pregnant women actually consider Tylenol and acetaminophen to be one of the more safe pain relievers to be taking during pregnancy.
Starting point is 00:49:06 And that's based upon recommendations to doctors. And I'd be really curious because pharmaceutical industry at large markets directly to doctors. Sure. What kind of communication was there out there to the medical profession? that this is a safe drug. Well, we certainly went through all of that with the opioid crisis, right? Doctors were told that they weren't addictive, and they prescribed them, or they were told they weren't very addictive, and they prescribed them.
Starting point is 00:49:31 And so we ended up with a lot of addiction, a lot of trouble, because the pharmaceutical industry was not honest with the doctors. Right. And we proved that in our, I mean, we had a settlement over that, you know, a couple of years go because that's exactly what happened right you see a lot is there do you see a lot of parallels there i do see some parallels the fact that they knew and they did not disclose because they were making such tremendous profits on the product is is a problem that's why we're here that's what we're here for it is to stop those type of things from happening when they do hold people accountable one
Starting point is 00:50:04 to to to provide restitution for that situation but also to send a message to other companies hey, you can't trick people or defraud them or trick them into taking a product that's not good for them. That's a bad company. I want to ask you about the Senate race. Maybe we'll say that for last. I want to ask you, and you and I've had this conversation in the past. So this story is nationwide, first of all. The trend of seeing more and more judges being lenient on crime, offering criminals, convicted convicted criminals, multiple chances at redemption, out early, given probation, whatever it may be. We've seen this in North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:50:48 We see it over and over. We see it here as well. And I did the story a few weeks ago. And I had some personal connections to the story that made the land at my doorstep. But it's in your backyard there in Austin where a young 17-year-old boy, his name was Spencer Wheeler. Three years ago, he had his own troubles and he bought Perkinset on the internet, right? Or so he thought. But what he actually ended up getting was fentanyl from a drug dealer that knew it was fentanyl and who had killed someone else two or three months prior.
Starting point is 00:51:18 So he'd already killed one person. He was aware that his drugs were killing people. Sold it again to a 17-year-old killed this kid as well. Kid dies. It's now been about a month. It was in trial in Travis County. And I know this, that the prosecution wanted 15 years in jail. This is prior to the new law that says you can be prosecuted for murder in this case.
Starting point is 00:51:37 and the defense said, we'll take 10 years in jail. Couldn't come to agreement, so it goes to the judge. The judge gave him zero years in jail, gave him 10 months probation. And I think everybody's asking this question across the nation. What can we do about these judges? So it's challenging because they're elected and they're elected. These judges are chosen by Austin residents. They're elected, same in Dallas.
Starting point is 00:52:01 And so, and George Soros has had a lot of influence on electing these judges who don't want to follow law who are doing things like this that are unreasonable. So you've seen a little bit of the legislature try to attempt to put brackets around these judges because the discretion that they're using is horrific to go to zero on somebody that's killed their second kid. And so you've seen in different states, particularly Texas, try to wrap their arms around passing legislation that require, and there's a constitutional amendment now that people can vote on that require no bail for certain types of heinous crime. So that's what the legislature in Texas is trying to do.
Starting point is 00:52:39 And I think that's the best we can do, given that people. And the second thing we do is have people pay attention to who these judges are and elect different judges. This is within the power of the people of Travis County or Dallas County. But you've pointed out to me in the past that you just don't have the power to come in and do anything at local levels, prosecutions. As the state attorney general, the way that this state, and many states, by the way, are structured, this is always going to be a local thing unless you amend things at the state level to get more power to state officials. It would be the legislature could pass legislation that allowed for concurrent jurisdiction for the Attorney General. Look, I'm going to be gone.
Starting point is 00:53:20 It would be for the next Attorney General. I think that's a very good idea. Why not have a backup? Because many of these DAs are being put there by George Soros. They're Democratic districts. Nothing Republicans can do to elect a Republican in many of these districts. And so have a way so that there's a backup. So if you have a prosecutor who doesn't want to prosecute crimes, you have a backup to the system, which is the Attorney General.
Starting point is 00:53:44 It makes total sense to me. A lot of states have it. And there should be some accountability for the— How does that work as a backup to your point? Because I think you would agree with me, like, principally, we do want government to be at its smallest increments. You have the most power in local elections, right? And so that's the most responsive to the local voter. It's a shame when those voters elect those DAs or those judges.
Starting point is 00:54:05 we violate that principle by bringing that power back to the state? I give you an example. So LBJ, everybody assumes, you know, crooked election, stealing ballot boxes, all that stuff that happened in the late 40s when he was elected to the Senate. So the legislature in 1951 passed a statute that directed the attorney general to prosecute voter fraud. That occurred for 72 years until the court of chrome pills struck it down as unconstitutional, which crazy we can get into that. But it's worked. It allowed me, as Attorney General, I had four prosecutors, and local DAs were not prosecuting voter fraud. It just wasn't happening.
Starting point is 00:54:42 And yet, when I was allowed to hire, you know, I had one when I started, I had four, when we were in the middle of all this, we had hundreds of cases of voter fraud, and we were winning those cases. So it is going on. What harm was there that the legislature provided a backup? There was no harm. We actually got to stop voter fraud, which is pretty significant. So you have to decide, do we want to have some accountability when we see the system is broken, which it is, when George Soros can spend just a little bit of money and get his DAs elected in these big Democratic counties, knock out DAs that are doing their jobs, even Democratic DAs that were doing their jobs in Bear County and even Travis County. I worked with them. And I watched George Soros come in and spend a little bit of money, take them out, and now I've got DAs who don't prosecute anything. And so it would be nice to have a backup to that so that a statewide official can step in and say, okay, we're going to take them. on some of these, we can't take them all on, we would have so much, so many resources, but have the ability to step into some of these cases, particularly ones that involve,
Starting point is 00:55:39 maybe even the DA who's committing crimes. Now right now, who's going to prosecute a DA that commits a crime? If they commit a state crime, who's going to do it? It's going to, there's nobody to it. They would have to be themselves. So we need to have some accountability for DAs that are themselves potentially committing crimes or allowing others to do it under their noses. How pervasive is George Soros's influence? How many cities? You know this state, so let's take Texas as an example. How many cities prosecutors are under the influence are funded by, in some way, George Soros? I would say at least Travis, which is Austin and Bayer, San Antonio, potentially Harris County, Houston, and Dallas, the big four.
Starting point is 00:56:19 And Tarrant County, fortunately, has a Republican DA who's not bought and paid for by George Soros. So we have, in our five biggest cities, Terrance is the one that's actually doing prosecutions the way they should be done. the others have held back. For instance, in some of these cities, including Dallas, I think, if you steal money, you shoplift, you don't get prosecuted as long as you're under a certain amount each day and you haven't hit too many stores. It's crazy. And how many other prosecutions are not happening because George Soros wants more chaos than he wants... What does he want? I'm asking you, you're running for Senate. You've been involved in politics for a while. You know, we just talked about Zoroamandani in New York. It looks like George Soros's
Starting point is 00:56:56 Open Society Foundation is behind some of the funding that ultimately goes to a guy like Mom Donnie. And I look at that and I go, what's the vision? What's he asking? What does he have in mind? I would love to interview George Soros or his son, for that matter, and say, just help me understand the vision. It's hard to understand. I think it's because it's so antithetical to constitutional government, American freedom. It's not his deal. He wants destabilization. He wants our markets destabilize. He wants our crime to be destabilizing to our country. He wants, I think, the country to fail. He's not for a prosperous, free constitution. government in America. But why? In search of what? Because it's like Little Finger and Game of Thrones,
Starting point is 00:57:36 like chaos is a ladder and you climb the ladder? Well, yeah, I think globalism, you know, control from outside of this country. If America is less, it gives others, they, I think, they see themselves having more power. They want us minimized and they want this global elite in control of our country and the world. And we're a problem because I think we're a relatively good force, not just for the people of America, but we have a sense of freedom, a hopeful freedom for other people as well, because that's what we live in there. You're an attorney general. What do you think about the attorney general's race in Virginia, where you got Jay Jones, who's put out these, well, discovered these texts that he was talking
Starting point is 00:58:15 about, violence, you know, the way he thought about his political opposition. He does seem to have gone down significantly in the polls. I believe Jason Maris is now leading in Virginia, but I don't think he's lost many endorsements. Yeah, it's kind of shocking. I'm trying to remember some of this text, but it was hard to believe when I read him how bad they were and that he's even still in the race.
Starting point is 00:58:36 I would have thought they would have tried to replace him. Jason Miorres has done, I think, a really good job as a Republican Attorney General for Virginia, and I'm really hopeful that we don't end up with this Jones guy who's leading Virginia, which is a relatively conservative state. All right. You mentioned you won't be there as a turn. Attorney General in the future. You're running for Senate. Right now, you're running for Senate
Starting point is 00:58:59 against both John Cornyn and Wesley Hunt. There's three of you in the race. Let's just start with this. What do you see is the state of the race? I feel like I'm doing well. I'm pretty sure I'm in first place and sort of letting John Cornyn fight it out with Wesley Hunt. But the race, really, to me, I got in the race to make sure we didn't have another term, fifth term, what, 30 years of John Cornyn doing nothing in the U.S. Senate. This guy's been in office since I was in college and I'm 62 and I cannot when I travel the state and I ask I've asked this hundreds of times to thousands of people can you name anything remarkably good not bad because we can name the bad stuff which I'm happy to do remarkably good that John Corners accomplished and
Starting point is 00:59:43 no one's ever spoken up even his supporters don't speak up and say well back in you know 1987 he did this or back in 1992 he did this we don't have those examples what we have is him fighting Donald Trump, not wanting Donald Trump elected in 2024, and now he supposedly loves Donald Trump. We have examples of him fighting the border wall. Now he supposedly funded the border wall. We have him siding with Joe Biden to restrict Second Amendment rights. And when he was on the Supreme Court, he wrote the opinion that created Robin Hood that made our, turned our schools into basically a socialistic model. He did that by judicial fee. It's completely unconstitutional. And he's had a really negative impact on the state with that decision. And it's just
Starting point is 01:00:24 time for a change. He's going to be 81 if he gets to go for another term. And it's just time after four terms in the U.S. Senate. We've never had anybody do five terms. Not Sam Houston, not Phil Graham, not John Tower, not LBJ. No one's done five firms. He would be the first and he doesn't deserve it. We need somebody like Ted Cruz, who will stand up and fight for Texans, who will be responsive to Texans, and we just need a fighter. What is the presence of Wesley Hunt due to the race? Look, it certainly makes it more interesting. I think it's another person to highlight what John Cornyn has done because that's mostly what I think he's doing, what I'm doing. Does he draw away from you then? Does his voting base pull from Ken Paxton or pull from
Starting point is 01:01:06 John Cornyn? I think he's actually going to pull more from John Cornyn. I'm not worried about finishing third or second. I'm pretty confident I'm going to finish first. And look, it may create a runoff, but that's fine. I've done great in runoffs. My worst runoff was 6535. So I'm not worried about that. I'm just worried about making sure that John Cornyn is not the next U.S. Senator from Texas. Who has officially declared as a Democrat, James Tullerico, has he officially declared? Yes. State Senator James Tullerico, made famous on Joe Rogan podcast.
Starting point is 01:01:34 I've had my battles with him on my television show. I have a lot of thoughts about James Tullerico. Colin Al-Read as well? Yeah, Colin Rade. Okay. What do you think of those two guys? Like, if you win the primary, who do you expect to be going against? So I don't know because, you know, we haven't had filing it.
Starting point is 01:01:50 The filing starts November 8th and is December 8th. There's also the possibility of Jasmine Crockett getting in because she's waiting supposedly to see how the redistricting fight turns out, which we should find out soon because that case was, we finished our presentation in El Paso, what, we can have two weeks or whatever it was, recently. And as part of that, Jasmine Crockett would most likely lose her district. Yes. So that's a possibility, too. And from what I've seen, she's leading in the polls. So I don't have a preference. I think it's...
Starting point is 01:02:19 From what you've seen, she would lead of those three? That's what I've heard. Tala Rico, all-red, Jasmine Crockett would lead. Yes. So, yeah, that would make the race really interesting, right? So that would be kind of fun. And I know she's made... What do you think of Jasmine Crockett?
Starting point is 01:02:33 A little crazy. I mean, she's certainly... She's made good comments about John Cornan. And she likes John Corn. She said he's the kind of Republican that Democrats like, which I think is true. I think that's why they do like him. She... For her to say that tells you everything about John Corman, we need to know.
Starting point is 01:02:47 But I think that would be an interesting. Rice to have Jasmine Crockett on the other side. It sounds like you're rooting for it to be Jasmine. It's kind of fun. I think the other ones will be not as interesting. What do you think about everybody calling James Tala Rico as the rising star for Democrats? Look, I barely know the guy. I don't know what he's accomplished.
Starting point is 01:03:04 It seems like if you're a rising star, you should have some accomplishments, something you can claim that you've done for the state. I mean, other than disappear to, you know, out of state and avoiding your responsibility to vote, I don't know what the guy's actually accomplished. He certainly hasn't talked much about his accomplishments. He's talked more about himself as a person, but to step up to that level. Like, I want to vote for something that I know has done things. So I have some proof before I put them in a position like U.S. Senate, especially from Texas.
Starting point is 01:03:32 I want to ask you this question because I hear this question a lot, and I'm sure you have as well. Maybe it's less of a question, more statement that people make, and I don't get your response to it. Ken Paxton wins a primary, but Ken Paxton loses a general. You hear that? I'm sure you've heard it. It's much from the Corning Camp, but look at my record. I've run three statewide races and I've done perfectly fine. I've lost the statewide race.
Starting point is 01:03:55 The only close rate we had was when Cruz was at the top of the ballot and I outperforming him like two points. So the last time I ran, they said the same thing and I won by what, 10 points. The first time I ran it was like 20 points. So they can say that but there's no evidence. And if you look at the polling, it never turns out. I pulled it. I pulled how I do versus a Democrat versus John Cornyn. Effectively, I think one point.
Starting point is 01:04:18 poll I was up, I outperformed John by two and another one he outperformed me by one. A Republican is going to win this seat. I'm certain of it. We are going to win Texas. This is a Republican state. You don't think this is close. I mean, Jasmine Crockett certainly makes it easier. But, you know, I don't know, Tala Rico, all right is run. How many times? No one knows these people. I mean, I mean, Jasmine's the only one that's kind of known, right? So she has some name ID versus James Tala Rico. No one really knows who he is. You do because you're into politics, but very few people who? And same with Colin. I mean, he was in Congress for a few years, but what did he do? He's not a very interesting candidate, even for the Democrats. I don't think he's a very
Starting point is 01:04:58 interesting candidate. He lost to Ted Cruz by eight and a half points. I just don't see them as being a legitimate threat to win a general election. I'm not saying I'm not going to go out and work, but that's just a talking point because John Corny didn't have a reason to convince people to vote for him. So it's, oh, I'm the only one who can win. Leave the talking point, though, right? General, I mean, they talk about Texas becoming purple. They pour money into this state. They seem to think that this can be a state that is eventually won by Democrats. Well, you can always say that, right? They've been saying that for the entire time I've been in office. And yet, I've run three statewide races and done it really well just as well as, I mean, I was outspent.
Starting point is 01:05:39 And I was, and if you look at the last race, I won by almost 10 points. I think I spent $6 million. I think Dan Patrick won by about 10 points. He spent 25 million, and I think Abbott spent 150 to 200 million. He went by 11. So you got an extra point. Okay, if I had had 200 million, I think I could have gotten an extra point. But for what I had to do in the primary, I spent most of my money in the primary, what I had left, we did really well. We got a lot of bang for our buck, and we did extremely well winning by, you know, double digits.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Well, I'm rooting for it to be Jasmine Crockett as well. I think that will be. By the way, I think I'm missing a helmet here. We had to have the Baylor Bay Area. you're bailer. Yeah. Let me tell you something. I haven't, this, uh, this is Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. This is, uh, this is, uh, Michael Quinn Sullivan. Okay. Uh, so you going to bring your own helmet? Well, I mean, I bring this one. Okay. Everybody else then objects and brings in theirs. I, I bought, the only two I brought in were three Auburn, uh, Clemson,
Starting point is 01:06:38 and Texas. So if you want Baylor, I'll give you the address. Okay. Get you bailer. I thought maybe that gold helmet might be Baylor. This is the newest edition. This is my producer. Two a days, Dan. He likes Notre Dame. Okay. It had no markings on it.
Starting point is 01:06:53 That's how they do it at Notre Dame, just the gold helmet. Send me, by the way, Baylor suing Boston University. Really? See that? I did not see that. Oh, yeah. Wonder if I should join. Trademark infringement.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Oh, wow. The interlocking BU. Oh, interesting. Yeah, apparently they had an agreement for years not to step on each other's toes, and now Boston has done that. Here we go. Here comes to Baylor. I should be right in the middle of Massachusetts versus Texas. I should be in the middle of that one.
