She was very, very obviously upset, but she held it together on stage.
She wasn't there for the whole weekend.
She was scheduled to be there for the whole weekend, but who would want to endure that?
So the latest is Putin himself has just asked Candace Owens to speak today at this convention.
So she's just gotten bumped up another level and she's thrilled about it.
Thank you, Dr. Drew, for having me. Good to be here.
There you go.
It's one of the craziest things. One of the weirdest proposals that I've seen from the Texas House in quite some time. So let me lay the groundwork here for your viewers.
So Texas, you know, it's Texas. It's, you know, I mean, we're like cowboy land, right? I mean, the Dallas Cowboys, you know, you got the Houston Oilers. You're, you know, the West is here.
It's Texas. Exactly. So you think, I moved here 13 years ago from Missouri. And I was very excited because I thought, my gosh, gonna be a lot of like minded people who are gonna leave me alone, it'll be great. There's a lot of Republican lawmakers I lean towards, I always vote most conservative, I vote Republican usually. And I was very excited about the prospect of having a decent legislature and
It was like a bait and switch. I get down here and I realize a lot of Republicans are really just Democrats who couldn't get elected in their districts running as Democrats. So they switched party affiliation, raised enough money. They had the name recognition, the contacts, the backing, and they were able to get elected as Republicans.
And so we're seeing that kind of play out in the Texas House and in the Texas Senate. And we're really seeing that play out most recently with this House Bill 366 that you just mentioned. So the former Speaker of the House is a guy named Dade Phelan. This is how it started. Dade Phelan apparently went to the dais one night. They had a long day in Austin, and he was slurring his words.
And when he held up that big Acme gavel and banged it down on the ground, he almost lost his balance. And all of these memes erupted after that. They called him Drunk Dade. People made fun of him on radio. All of these memes all over Facebook and TikTok and Instagram and Instagram.
And I don't think he liked it very much because here we are not even a year later after that video and he's introduced this bill. And they say that it is about protecting, I guess, truth in advertising and protecting people from generative AI, which that's really not what the language of the bill says. gets into. It's not just about political advertising.
And it's really, the text is fairly short, I've read it. And they make it intentionally vague. So it's not about just political advertising. The nature of the language makes it to where technically, yes, it is actionable. They could go after people if they don't have a state approved disclaimer. on whatever image or video, et cetera, that they're sharing if it runs afoul of this.
And you're talking about potentially a year in prison and a hefty, you know, multi-thousand dollar fine. And they look at it as a misdemeanor. It's not in keeping with the First Amendment. I can't imagine that it would pass, you know, legal scrutiny. But that hasn't stopped them from proposing it anyway. So that's what's happening with us.
I think yes and no. So the town that I live in in Texas, our county, and it's the largest, the last large red urban county in the United States. And there has been a major influx of Californians coming in here, which has somewhat altered the voting electorate a little bit.
So when Beto O'Rourke ran, he actually got almost 2,600 more votes than Ted Cruz running against him in his last Senate race that he ran. And so it's a real it's a battleground. And it's it's it's the most was the most conservative county in Texas, one of the most conservative districts in Texas. So it has changed it somewhat. But some of these outlying rural areas are still pretty hardcore red.
When you get around Austin and Houston and Dallas County itself, it gets it gets pretty murky.
Yeah, exactly. I mean, and in Texas, you know, one of the most conservative states in the union. I wouldn't doubt it. I thought that question was quite interesting. But in terms of what voters can do, I mean, obviously the easy answer is voters have to elect more people. constitutionally minded lawmakers into office.
