What's on your mind?
Hi, Charlie. How do you feel about where the Republican Party is in light of what's going on with the Texas Capitol right now?
OK, so you have to enlighten me on what is happening at the Texas Capitol. I actually don't know. So tell me in the audience.
There's not a quorum on the House floor right now.
OK, so you got to tell me more than that. So what what what is going on? Educate the audience. So by not a quorum, meaning that the Republicans are not able to be able to vote. OK, so what why is that? What is the backstory of that?
About a week ago, Representative Brian Harrison posted, we've been keeping this a secret, and just all of a sudden said that there's not been a quorum. He called for a quorum, like a roll call to be made. And there wasn't enough people to be able to vote on the House floor. This is ridiculous. But I want to know how you feel about the Republican Party and what we could do about this issue.
It's a great question. Thank you for catching me up to speed on that. Does not shock me. So here's the problem. It's called the red state dilemma. A red state traditionally will have Republicans that are more like Democrats because Democrats who might be a little bit more moderate. Why would they run as Democrats? They'll never actually get any political power. So if a Republican state ends up being 10 to 15 points too Republican, states like Nebraska, which I'm going to bring up in a second, states like South Dakota, states like Wyoming, when you have a very aspirational, quasi-narcissistic state senator who wants to get more power and he really doesn't have that deeply held beliefs, he could be a Republican or a Democrat.
He's this kind of transactional corporate type. Country Club. It's like a power craving sociopathic lizard who will join just whatever party is stronger. They then end up joining the Republican Party. And mind you, in California, they joined the Democrat Party. In New York, they joined the Democrat Party. But in Texas, they joined the Republican Party. Now contrast that with the blessing of being in a battleground state. And here's the really ironic part. If your state ends up being not that red, you actually get legitimate Republicans in your state, like Florida. Now, Florida's changing. Where Florida's become so red, they're getting fake Republicans that are now being part of their state legislature.
