I mean, we would be in a completely different world, uh, if the politics on that were to, were to, you know, were to completely, uh, flip upside down.

But when he first started talking about this, I got a lot of messages like this from some of our old school readers at Quorum Report who said, "Well, didn't we ban this already many years ago?" And in fact, they didn't even remember the constitutional amendment that was, uh, carried by Chairman Jeff Leach in either, whatever it was, in '17 or '19, the, the, the one Abbott is talking about to require the two-thirds vote of everybody to be able to, you know, have an income tax.

It's just, it's not politically viable.

And, you know, no matter h- no matter what argument Hinojosa has made in the past, she's right to just say, "It ain't gonna happen."

Um, not only that, it was...

I believe it was House Bill 900, if I have the bill right, by, by Jeff Leach, and I'm forgetting the Senate author.

The state's mid-decade redistricting plan shifted Congressional District 9 from a D-63% district to an R-60% district based on the 2024 presidential election.

It looks like a way to navigate, maybe circumnavigate, maybe get around, uh, SB8 and SB12, which w- one of which dealt with bathrooms and the other of which dealt with, uh, what, what schools do often to surreptitiously facilitate, uh, gender conversions without telling parents and such.

So, uh, our buddy, State Representative Jeff Leach of Plano, sent a letter to Ken Paxton saying, "This needs to be investigated pronto.

What are these people trying to do?" Jeff will join us at 8:35.

I'll share the letter that he wrote to Paxton and, um, and we'll see what is at the bottom of this.

[laughs] Let's, let's have me not talk about you on the morning of November 4th.

And, and, and Jeff Leach on earlier talking about the letter he wrote to Attorney General Paxton about these trans Texas education people and what looks like their surreptitious attempts to try to get folks to, uh, to bypass or subvert, uh, Texas law, SB 8 and SB 12, about, uh, some of it's about things as specific as bathrooms and facilities and being of your biological sex, and other things about where we're not gonna let you trans the kids socially.

We're not gonna have k- school counselors, you know, welcoming Billy in the seventh grade, and Billy says he wants to be a girl, and the school counselor says, "Fantastic, let's go," and doesn't even tell mom and dad.

We're not going to do that anymore.
