Poverty has different dimensions. It's not hunger. It's suffering. And even indignity of being in a lower caste, that is also a part of poverty. So I find all these activities that I embarked on, they're closely interrelated, though you may not see it as such. Somebody may argue that I didn't fit in with poverty is lead poisoning. That's an urban problem more than anything else.

But I would argue even there, who suffers most is the poor people in slums who have no way of protecting themselves, who are right next to a factory that is fabricating lead. They are the ones who are suffering. So it's also a poverty issue. So everything I've done has some connection, may not be directly visible, but some of them are directly connected.

Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
Thank you for having me here. Tomorrow is the speaker's race here in the state of Texas, Texas House. And what we usually have for the last decade or so, a small group of Republicans going to Democrats, which is the minority party here. This time it is 62 members from the Democrat side, 88 from our side.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
Some Republicans will partner with the Democrats to choose a moderate or a rhino Republican, for lack of a better term, to put as a speaker. Then they will go and kill all the conservative bills in Texas House. The Texas Senate is very conservative. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and the group will pass good legislation.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
One of the legislation that got killed last time is the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese government is buying land in Texas, especially around our military bases. And there was a bill to stop that. And some of the Republicans, along with all of the Democrats, said it's a racist bill and we're going to kill it. And they killed it. Now we have a national security issue in Texas.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
The last year, we talked about voter protection while Biden was in office. And Texas did what we can do, but it could have been a lot better if we had a conservative speaker. This is the same group who went and impeached the Texas attorney general. So this year, the party said, if you're not going to support a real Republican speaker—
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
who will support reforms in Texas House by putting only Republicans in committee chairmanship. That's another thing they do. They put Democrats in committee chairmanships and give a lot more power to Democrats than they deserve in Texas.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
So if we do that, we're going to not only come after you, we're going to censure you, we're going to educate your constituents, and we're going to come after you, basically. couple of months. Governor Abbott is on board with the caucus nominee, which is David Cook. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is on board with it. All of our statewide elected officials are on board with it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
Most of our county parties are on board with it. But a small group of Republicans joining the Democrats most likely going to elect a speaker. At least they're going to try to do that tomorrow, which is what we're fighting at this point.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
So, you know, in Minnesota, you heard this a couple of days ago, they have one seat majority and they decided we're going to elect a speaker by the Republican caucus, which is the normal thing to do, which is what everybody does. In Texas, a group of Republicans will join the Democrats and elect a speaker who is backed majority by the Democrats. That's unbelievable to me.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
Yes, it's the craziest thing. And it started happening in 2008 when Barack Obama got elected. Our margins went down from 76 to 74. And, you know, we had to to two seat majority. So all these Republicans were kind of like very Democrat in their heart. They said, well, this is an opportunity for us to go work with the Democrats and get a speaker who we can control.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
And that's what they've been doing ever since. Our margin now is 88. We actually had added two more seats to the Texas House this time around. We were 86. We have 88 members. And all we need is 76. But we can't get 76 Republicans to support the Republican nominee. They're supporting a Democrat nominee, or they're joining the Democrat Party to give power away to the Democrats.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
This is craziest thing in Texas. I don't know if you heard this. Don Jr. got involved in this and said, what are you all doing in Texas? This is not the right way to do things. President Trump won by 12 points. We flipped 12 out of the 14 South Texas counties. One of the counties have never elected a Republican for the last 130 years. We got Donald Trump elected at 14 points.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
We have a clear mandate. I mean, I listen to your show and you understand this more than anybody. There is a clear mandate for the Republican Party and for the elected officials. And what we have in Texas is unfortunately. A lot of these Republicans who used the party's name to get elected is real Democrats, and they're going to go put Democrats in charge. And parties are working against them.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
So we spent a lot of money over the last two, two and a half months educating our constituents, saying this is what's happening in Texas. And one of the legislators, Cordy Harris, took that as a legislative bribery for the party to send mailers to his district
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
which will potentially affect his reelection and file the Texas ethics violation against me personally saying the party chairman is bribing and threatening legislators, which is a crime punishable by minimum of two years in prison. So this is how crazy they are and how far they're willing to go to go against the party and the grassroots in Texas.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
That is absolutely right. So if 10 or 15 Republicans go to Jeffries and say, hey, if you put one of us as a speaker, but we will give you all the committee chairmanships you need, and we will pass all of your bills, and we will do everything you guys want. That's crazy. You don't see that in the U.S. House. And thank God we don't see that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
I mean, I like that bipartisanship once in a while, but I don't want this. But that's what's happening in Texas. It's been going on for about 12 years, actually 14 years now. But ever since that tradition started, that's their excuse. Well, that's being a tradition in Texas. It's not. It started at the same time when Barack Obama got elected because we did not have enough
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
Republicans who had the balls to stand up and say, hey, we're going to still support a Republican nominee and we're going to have a conservative as a speaker. We're going to pass some conservative bills. But this is they're basically giving power away to Hakeem Jeffries. And that's exactly what they're doing in Texas House.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
Well, if you go to Texas UOP dot org. you can see all the representatives who are Republicans who are supporting the Democrat nominee. And their phone numbers are there. The grassroots needs to get... the Republican nominee and actually talk to their representatives and say, if you do this, we are going to primer you and we're going to get you out.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
That needs to come from the grassroots, from their district. That's the only thing that we can do at this point. We've done everything else. The people, the constituents need to wake up and say, well, this is not what we elected.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
Well, there is a lot of people who are excited to hear that Paxton is considering that, especially during your AmFest. I think that's when he literally, Paxton literally went out and said, hey, I am playing about it. I did have a conversation with him a couple of days, a few days ago when we were
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
traveling across the state about the speaker's race and i asked him what are your thoughts and he said well abraham i'm praying about it we're looking at numbers uh so i don't know if he's going to do it there is people who are very upset with john conan on certain issues and there is a lot of people who just like him uh so we don't know be honest with you we don't know what's going to happen um
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
I know there's a lot of interest in Texas to primary the senator, but is it going to happen and is it going to be successful? It's a whole different conversation. And because Texas is a huge state and it takes a lot of money to run for Senate here. Ted Cruz just spent, I think, about $300 million doing this. So it's not a small task. So we don't know.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
Well, one thing is we need conservatives running in 2026. And that goes from all across the state for real Republicans for who actually gets America first agenda, who actually will stand for state of Texas to run in the Republican ballot.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
not everyone's going to be successful but we just replaced about 25 26 members who were against the school choice who were uh out there impeaching ken paxton one of our uh favorite uh attorney generals in the entire nation uh so party is doing the right thing we are moving forward but we need you and your your audience to
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
talk to them and wake them up a little bit and get them to the polls and actually get them to engage with the candidate who is actually going to be a MAGA candidate. And that's what we've been doing. And it's very controversial when the party does it because you're going against one Republican who is sometimes in office. We actually went against Tony Gonzalez as a congressman.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
We've been against a date failing as the, uh, house rep and his former speaker. So there was a lot of, um, unhappy people when the party does it, but when the grassroots do it, that's a whole different angle and party can be somewhat neutral unless there's really horrible Republicans who does some really horrible things against the party platform and its principles. And, uh,
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
One thing that changed in the last convention, which is we have one of the largest conventions, about 10,000 people come together every two years to put our platform and our priorities. We'd love to have you as a speaker on the next one in 26. Yeah, sounds great. Yeah. Yeah.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
And they came together and they said the party's name belongs to the people, not to the electorate, the electorate officials. So they basically said, if you're not going to play by the rules that set by these grassroots members, they're going to hold you off from the ballot. They're going to say you cannot run as a Republican.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
You can run as a Democrat or independent, but the Republican Party's name belongs to the grassroots members, not to the elected officials. So there is a lot of that going on, conversations, which is one of the reasons why Cody Harris thinks he can actually file a felony charge against me if I were to remove him from the ballot. But it's not up to the chairman.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
It's up to the members of the party who makes that decision. And it comes with a lot of censoring, things like that. And he has to violate multiple rules and all those things. But at the same time, that gives the party a lot of power
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
over elected officials and they hate that um but i think the people are waking up and your audience can help a lot by making that phone call talking to the elected officials and also showing up to the capitol starting tomorrow the session starts for 140 days we only meet 140 days every other year so they need to show up and say This is a bill that I like.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Why Do Texas Republicans Give the Democrats Power?
I want you to actually work on this and support this, get behind this.
