Summary

As we watch Democrats floor the gas pedal on communism in Virginia, it’s time to ask why we don’t have a single red-state trifecta that governs as vigorously as Democrats do on their issues. We’re joined by Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison (R), who exposes just how liberal the state party leadership is. Texas is being overrun by Islamic terror supporters and Antifa. Texas is facing a crisis from property taxes and data centers. State and local governments continue to promote liberal policies with taxpayer-funded lobbyists. Yet the legislature doesn’t even plan to convene! Why aren’t there more fighters like Harrison? Because we ignore the primaries. Meanwhile, the Texas speaker is running two liberal candidates against Harrison so he can consolidate support from the uniparty without people like Harrison trying to paint Texas red.

0:14.7	here at The Blaze on this fine crisp cold Wednesday, where we have so much to do, so much to discuss.
0:24.1	And what would you do?
0:25.7	What would you do as a conservative if you took over an entire state with huge majorities,

0:44.4	What would you do over four years?
0:47.9	What would you do if you had that power in perpetuity?
0:52.5	Well, folks, as I've mentioned for a number of years, we actually have that power
0:57.8	in 20 states, except we don't. Republicans have that power. If Republicans were a decent party,
1:05.7	we would be able to run up the score. You're going to hear a lot in the coming days about the fact that,
1:11.6	well, Trump can't get his priorities through. He has to keep funding appropriation bills that go
1:18.3	against the nature of his executive orders because he just doesn't have the numbers. Obviously,
1:24.2	we talked a lot about the problems with his endorsements and that's why he doesn't have the numbers
1:28.6	but again we should be running up the score in places like texas the largest supposed red state
1:36.4	except we don't run up the score because the republicans are every bit as much of the problem as the Democrats are.
1:46.4	That is the reality.
1:47.4	That is why we see Republicans with super majority trifectas that don't get anything done.
1:55.1	We're going to have Representative Brian Harrison of Texas on to discuss everything that is urgent that needs to be done
