H3: Tara criticizes Senate GOP leadership over campaign funding and its approach toward socialism.

What this episode covers

Tara: Good morning, Lee! Lee Rogers: Howdy there, Tara. Tara: Okay. Unbelievable. Unbelievable! It's not just me. When you have The Federalist—not a wild right-wing publication, a very staid, very respected, very old-guard Republican, okay? The Federalist! Yesterday saying what your humble host has been saying for a week now! Screaming into the wind—that's why you listen to this show, we're ahead of everybody. But saying it, Lee! Admitting it! Saying it out loud! This headline is one for the ages: "Senate GOP..."—Senate Republicans, they mean—"...Senate GOP would rather surrender Texas to Democrats than to its own voters." Thank you. Lee Rogers: Gee, where have we heard that before? Tara: Gosh, I don't know! Lee Rogers: You might want to consider plagiarism charges there, Tara. Tara: I know, I'm telling you what. Well, but the folks at The Federalist are seeing what I have been saying, so this is not some radical right-wing conspiracy I'm throwing out there. This is the boilerplate, this is the mainstream of the Republican Party, The Federalist. Admitting, "Yeah, the leadership of the Republican leadership in the Senate, which includes sadly our own Tim Scott, would rather surrender Texas to the Democrats than to their own voters." And what they're talking about is the refusal of those who control the four big PACs that, unfortunately, have hoovered up a lot of the donor money to save the Senate. They're going to let Texas go. Texas is a must-win, Lee! And John Thune knows it. He said it on Fox News last night, but he doesn't care. Why is this? Because they are big pissed that after spending a combined $103 million in the Republican primary—sadly, money that we desperately needed to spend against Democrats—to defeat Ken Paxton and save John Cornyn... After Paxton got outspent 7-to-1, he whooped John Cornyn by 28 votes—I'm sorry, 28 points! Why? Gig's up! We have X now, we know how you guys vote. We know John Cornyn isn't really a Republican. He votes with us 54% of the time, votes with Democrats the rest of the time, got an F rating from Conservative Review in their Freedom Index. Across every major index, barely a Republican. Can't hide that in the era of X. People said, "No, we think we'll take Paxton. We want a conservative." And the leadership at the Senate is big pissed, Lee! Because they all realize the era of the globalists is over, and they're pissed! And they're going with, "We'll burn it all down and put the Democrats in charge to punish you." Not my opinion, or solely my opinion anymore—now The Federalist is saying it openly. We never thought we'd see this, folks! It's the uniparty out in the open! You don't need to sit there and say, "Oh, there's a conspiracy." No, it's out in the open! What have I been telling you now for a month? I have never been so rattled, Lee, as when I have seen over the last month Democrats and Republicans on the Senate side working hand-in-hand in this state of South Carolina. Same messaging, same ads, PAC money flowing in here, Democrats and Republicans working hand-in-hand—that is scary as hell. We just saw it in the Republican primary to defeat Ralph Norman, now we're seeing it in the Senate where they're starving Ken Paxton of money. Now let's—let's tear this to pieces like The Federalist did. John Thune, who is unfortunately the head of the Senate, has a PAC. Senator Tim Scott here in South Carolina, who spent money from his PAC to defeat Ralph Norman, but says he has none to defeat Talarico—let that sink in. Going to give Texas to Talarico. They're all going on TV saying they just don't have money, Lee. They're just so broke and, "Well, you know, if—we'll just give Texas to the Democrats cause we just don't have enough money to spend in Texas to save poor Paxton." John Thune (recording): "I'm hoping the White House will become engaged. Texas is an incredibly expensive state, and obviously one that we need—we've got to hold. If we're going to keep the United States Sen ...
