…offering a healthy living deduction for people that are trying to keep themselves healthy by allowing them to deduct gym memberships and nutrition programs and sports youth activities. So we're trying to help people keep more of their money so that they can afford to pay higher prices until some.
Michael Berry
Of these gas prices come down. One of my great frustrations in conversations that I have, and this isn't a passing conversation on social media, this is somebody that comes over to dinner or somebody that I'm having a cigar without back. We're chatting at length is to explain, well, Ken Paxton, his work, his body of work as attorney general is incredibly impressive, better than Abbott or Cornyn, better than any attorney general in my lifetime for sure. He has been an activist on behalf of the people. I feel frustrated that people are not aware of that because it should matter to people.
Speaker 6
Yeah, part of that is it's gotten harder and harder to get my message out. It seemed like it was easier four or five years ago. We got a lot done on radio.
Michael Berry
We got a lot done on.

But we got cut off of Fox a little bit when I ran against Bush because.

…have a Democratic governor of Kentucky. Americans are much more independent when it comes to voting for governor than they are for federal offices. Governor Greg Abbott had an approval rating of 50 percent, and that's not high in a district he won by well over 20 points. Not great. And I've been speaking to a lot of people and there is a larger problem that I am noticing when it comes to Texas. Yes, Ken Paxton is in trouble. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out. We have months and months and months of polling. Paxton has not led in, Paxton has led in three polls since June, right? We know, we can see everything that's happening for such a long time. However, No one running for office in TEXAS TURNING year is polling with Texas-sized Republican leads. Nobody. There was in this one particular district, which a district once again, the Republicans went by 20 points sometimes. Paxton was winning by four. Abbott was winning by 10. And there was another 10% in both voting…

…smart. So, yeah, he does a great job. I love being on the trail with him. He came to Tyler a couple of weeks ago. We met him out there, and we got a huge crowd in Weatherford. We packed out this warehouse. They said there were RSVPs for 4,000. I think there were more people because they couldn't.
Michael Berry
Fit everybody in. Ken Paxton is our guest. What are you finding is the big issue down to the final? What's the thing that people care most about?
Speaker 6
I think it's affordability. It's the concern about rising prices. And look, I understand that. I've been out talking to people for 19 months about this. This all started in the Biden administration. You're going to get high prices when you spend a lot of money. And that's what the Biden administration did. They created inflation. Second, when you shut down the production of refineries and you make it difficult for us to have pipelines, you're going to create a bottleneck and you're going to create higher prices.
Michael Berry
And so they set us up for this.
Speaker 6
And, you know, President Trump has been trying to undo a lot of that and move forward, but.
Michael Berry
It doesn't happen overnight. And, you know, in addition, we have this.

No, there's no doubt.
Speaker 6
Look.
Ken Paxton
You always hear this is the most important election. I always wonder why we always say that. But the reality is it's becoming like that every single time because we're going to make a choice between constitutional republic, conservative values, the values that we've had since the founding of our country, or are we going to have a few people, a few elitists run this country as a socialist country and bankrupt the entire country to the detriment of of the majority of Americans. That's the difference. It is a huge election for deciding that. And if you're voting for a Democrat, whether it's Georgia or North Carolina or Texas, you are sponsoring socialism and communism.
Sean Hannity
How much money have the Democrats poured into Texas so far this election cycle?
Ken Paxton
It's actually hard to keep track of. This guy raises most of his money for a high percentage of the money in California.

…to make them mean the opposite of what was actually in Scripture. And if you don't know your Bible, you could be easily fooled into believing that some of what he's saying is true and that he's a legitimate Christian, when in reality... His comments are heretical to the to the Christian faith.
Sean Hannity
…must not be polling well because only recently did he say, well, my math was off or whatever excuse he came up with. So it seems like he's gone to the AOC school of, oh, that was crazy woke 1.0 and is trying to hide his real positions. I hope you're making the people of Texas aware of all of this.
Ken Paxton
No, we're absolutely doing that, and that's just one example of many, many. He's completely changed positions on boys and girls sports, the state income tax that he voted for, every position, the oil and gas industry, which he tried to abolish in the state of Texas, the meat thing. There's nothing this guy hasn't changed on to try to fool the Texas voters into believing he's a conservative Republican as opposed to a left-wing Democrat.
Sean Hannity
Well, look, I think the people of Texas are smart. God bless Texas. I watched this unfold with Ted Cruz back in the day when Beto Bozo O'Rourke, and it was far less known about him when Ted ran against him. And the polls were very, very tight in the beginning of that race. Ted ended up winning by a…
