RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Georgia. And they were like, no, this time he’s like, hey, Greg Abbott need five seats. Not trying to have a democratic house. And Greg Abbott’s like, sure. This is brazen and I don’t feel like enough people are like hair on fire about it. If I had hair, I’d be on fire.
>> This this is not. Yeah, well, I’m getting a little sparse up here myself. This is not a Texas problem. Yeah, this the focus of this issue is Texas. But this is a national problem. And you got to understand, if somehow, some way Republicans are able to hold on to the house in next year, and in spite of the fact that I think they should lose because of, you know, the big budget bill that, you know, took health care away from millions of people, they gave tax breaks to billionaires who didn’t need it. If they were somehow able to hold on to the house in 2026, that is the House of Representatives that would have to certify who won the presidential election come 2028 2029. Now, if you want to play with fire and that’s what we’re doing here, you put in a bunch of partizan hacks who are not supposed to be in the house, who are there because of gerrymandering and a whole range of other things that Republicans are doing, and then put at risk the possibility that that body would not certify who the next president was. That is a that’s why this is a national problem. This is not something only the Texans ought to be concerned
