PETE Colonel Allen, West joins
us this morning.
Happy thanksgiving!
You see something like this on
Thanksgiving
a war memorial toppled.
How far will the left go to
topple the things that we value?
Well, its a pleasure to be
with you all and happy
thanksgiving, and they will
continue to go this far because
for whatever reason we are not
curtailing it.
You know when I think about the
54th Massachusetts Infantry
Regiment Memorial that was
defaced up there in Boston.
Those were the first black men
who served in uniform for the
United States of America during
the civil war
and on Thanksgiving when we
think about the soldiers,
sailors, airmen, Marines and
coast guardsmen, who are not with
their families, so that we can
have a thanksgiving so that we
can live in this incredible
country to have a veterans
memorial attacked by these
domestic terrorists is
unconscionable,
and I think its about time, that
our elected officials step up
and stop these actions
Steve right.
Well, it is Portland.
I know a number of people were
arrested.
It will be interesting to see
how they are prosecuted.
Ultimately,
meanwhile, youre sitting in the
Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex
right now, colonel
and youre, one of people who
moved to Texas and make that
your home
people love the fact that there
are fewer restrictions
and there are lower taxes.
There is no state tax.
In fact, when it comes to so
many people are moving out of
California
and a lot of them are moving to
the Lone STAR state
over six hundred and fifty thousand people left
California, just in last year
alone,
and I think the number that
moved in for a net loss of
one hundred and seventy three thousand for people in that state
of California.
So what is going on in Texas,
where people around the country
are thinking? You know what,
whether its a restrictions or
the taxes or the covid or
whatever I can work anywhere
im going to work in Texas,
well sure, and my last duty
assignment in the army was Fort
Hood Texas. I was blessed to be
able to come back here to Texas
some ten years later in twenty fourteen, when
he got offered an opportunity to
be with the conservative think
tank.
But what is happening in Texas
is that you have the tenth
largest economy in the world.
Have you an oil and gas industry
that has made the? U United State
of America, energy, independent
and energy resources?
People like Elon Musk, decided to
leave California and set up
headquarters in Austin and
Battery facility plant out in El
Paso, because we have all of the
right conservative policies and
the right type of principles and
values that people want to come
here. Liberty and freedom is the
most important thing and we live
by that motto, come and take it
so thats. Why I its absolutely
insidious that the progressive
socialist left, the Democratic
Party thought they could turn
Texas into a California
Illinois, New York and New
Jersey, where everyone is
fleeing
in Texas, its s, probably going
to pick up two to three new
congressional districts in this
round of redistricting because
of the population growth that we
are seeing
Emily colonel. Thank you so
much for that. We are so grateful
to have you
happy thanksgiving and best of
luck in Texas, where
undoubtedly hundreds of
thousands of more people will be
joining you shortly.
