a majority of the Republicans in the state house have taken their money.

And for some of those lawmakers, a majority of their total campaign contributions come from just these two guys.

Like they increasingly run this whole government here in Texas.

And you ask where the 10 commandments bill comes from, you ask where that school counselor chaplain bill comes from, the voucher bill, the abortion ban,

A lot of this is driven by these two billionaires.

And they give to politicians, but it's actually much bigger than that because they have this sprawling network of think tanks, advocacy organizations, media outlets, the Daily Wire, right, funded by them.

So they are creating an empire to control every aspect of the state.

I mean, I don't mean to sound alarmist, but that's what's happening.

And again, your listeners should do their own research on this to learn about it.

But there's been a lot of stories about these two billionaires and their control over state government.

And I say this because-

Well, and these two billionaires hosted a meeting with Nick Fuentes, who is a Holocaust denier, and got a lot of pushback.

Nick Fuentes?

Yes.

Well, to be fair, I don't listen to a lot of Nick Flint does, which is on me.

Who funds it?

And again, I think the important part about these two guys that's maybe more important than the oil and gas stuff is that they have this extreme religious worldview.

And they have the money to be able to actually implement that worldview on 30 million people in the state of Texas.

And now they're trying to go national by trying to win a U.S.

Senate seat.
