Pete love it
Jedediah. Thanks Rick, we
appreciate it
were going to Brung in Texas,
Congressman Louie Gohmert live
with an update, as major flooding
is expected today in Texas.
Welcome to the show, as always,
can you give us the Heatest on
the clean up effort latest on
the clean up effort with respect
to Hannah and whats going on
right now in
the tough part? Is that it
comes on top of Covid and South
Texas has been hit pretty hard.
You know a lot of people have
come across the border and
brought covid in
thats. An area thats really
was already hit hard,
but it youll recall whether
its Harvey or other Hurricanes
Texas does pretty well in
dealing with emergencies.
Governor Greg Abbott has been
completely on top of it. As you
know,
the hurricane was downgraded
since it hit land are, but its
till brought a lot of rain and
thats been the biggest problem.
The winds have been downgraded,
but the rain keeps coming
its headed toward Northern
Mexico, but you know weve got
the emergency personnel there
ready and helping
Griff Congressman. Let me ask
you, obviously, being here in
Washington and covering
Congress, well all be watching
to see whether or not Mitch
Mcconnell unveils. Finally, the
Covid 19 plan
looks like the White House and
Republicans in the Senate are
getting closer to agreement.
What are your thoughts, as you
see it, on the house side
well were concerned about
the giveaway programs to help
the Democratic party
weve seen some of those in the
prior covid legislation and, of
course, both republican senators
and republican House members are
are concerned about the efforts
of Democrats to stifle the
economy by leaving open the door
to litigation just overwhelming
employers and businesses that
open
so thats been a top priority,
and the question is how much
giveaway programs that dont
necessarily help the covid
victims, the House, Democrats and
schumer- are going to demand in
order to get the immunity from
liability.
Pete congressman ive got to
get your take on one more thing:
youve never been accused of not
being a fighter
were in this moment where
statues are being torn down,
cancel culture everywhere, and I
actually had this video sent to
me by a couple people.
You took to the house floor and
introduced a resolution that
would ban the Democrat Party,
explain.
Well, everybody knows, or
they should, if they dont,
that slavery has been pushed and
protected by the Democratic
Party
thats, where it come from
thats where the defenses come
from and it wasnt just in the
1800s after the civil war
theyre the ones that have been
protecting it theyre, the ones
that pushed Jim Crow laws
theyre the ones that did not
support the 14th and 15th
amendment at all. No support
from the Democratic Party
and even the nineteen twenty four democratic
national convention was called
the Klan Bake because of the I
Ku Klux Klans influence.
They were an extension of the
Democratic Party,
so were going to hold the
Democrats to the same standards
that they want to hold everybody
else to and get rid of anybody
vestiges of slavery. It means
getting rid of the Democratic
Party,
so were just trying to hold
them to the same standards. They
want to hold everybody else to
Griff. Somehow I suspect that
the speaker, Nancy Pelosi,
disagrees with this
im, not sure thats, going to see
the light of day laughter
laughter, just finally
just finally devastated just
just finally devastated just
so they can get back in power.
That is horrendous.
The Republican are never felt
that way and have never felt
that way and still do not.
