Since the election, Republicans have been passing a series of, I guess you can call them voter reform laws that seek to

kind of pull back a lot of the leeways that were given because of the pandemic.

To make it simple, because of the pandemic, we made voting very very easy and with that ease comes a lot of insecurity.

So a lot of Republicans have been saying, okay, let's pull back a little bit of the mail-in voting, let's reduce some of the hours.

But for the most part, a lot of these bills still leave a lot of open space for Democrats.

That's not stopped. The media and Democrats are saying these are voter restriction bills because they want to retain every single

leeway they got during the pandemic. Right now in Texas, there's supposed to be a special session where they're going to vote to

actually have some of these reforms, but the Democrats have fled on three private jets to DC

illegally to block what's called a quorum. So we're gonna talk about this and we've also got a bunch of other stories. South Africa has, has, has, it is, it is getting crazy.

I mean, the looting, the violence, the rioting is so severe. You're seeing videos of

citizens just shooting at rioters. There's even videos purporting the show police officers joining in the looting. I don't know if that's true.

And completely, but there's a lot of accusations showing cops loading up van. So

maybe that's the case. And so we'll get into all this and we have a great guest talk about what's going on in Texas.

Someone who's actually now running for the governor of Texas Lieutenant Colonel Alan West is joining us.

It's good to be back with you, Tim. Thanks for having me. Right on. Do you want to just do a quick little 30 second intro?

We'll just talk people who you are. Well, just you know, 22 year combat veteran United States Army, also a former member of the United States House

Representative has been living there in Texas since 2014. I'm the former chairman of the Republican Party of Texas. I submitted my

Registration Nation on the 4th of June and on the 4th of July announced my candidacy for the governor of Texas.

Did people see that one coming? I think a lot of people thought that it was something out there.

You know, but we kind of kept people at bay. But when I put in the resignation from being the chairman, some folks realized that yeah, he's

He's looking at going to elect the office again. Let's we'll talk about that too because Texas is one of the states that people really love.

Yeah, I mean for one everyone loves Texas. Yeah, but considering what have with the lockdowns, Texas and Florida are way up there with what people appreciate.
