David WassermanGUEST
We've been dealing with it for many decades, and there have been plenty of instances in past decades of mid-decade redistricting, either because courts have struck down maps as racial gerrymanders, or because parties have decided to press their advantage where they can.
David WassermanGUEST
Texas Republicans, spearheaded by Tom DeLay, embarked on a gerrymander of Texas in 2004 that was highly controversial.
David WassermanGUEST
New York Democrats revisited the congressional map to make it friendlier to their side in 2024, but we've never seen a gerrymandering assault on this scale, and this was launched by the White House for the purpose of safeguarding Republican's majority.
Gideon ResnickHOST
So by the numbers at this point, where are we? Does any party have a political advantage numerically in the House race from these efforts?
Charlie RobinsonGUEST
the normalization process of, of what Yuri was, was talking about.
Charlie RobinsonGUEST
And part of that is like normalizing transgenderism and normalizing 12 perversions and, and normalizing, you know, Tom delay, a guy who is a, he was a guy for like a series, like the house Republican whip or something, something like that.
Charlie RobinsonGUEST
He's went on C-SPAN back in 2015.
Charlie RobinsonGUEST
And then again on 2016 and said, well, I got out of a meeting at the Justice Department where they were talking about normalizing 12 perversions, including pedophilia and bestiality.
Charlie RobinsonGUEST
Like, I wouldn't be surprised if he, and look where we are now.
Charlie RobinsonGUEST
I just saw something that they were talking about normalizing bestiality in some sort of congressional thing.
Charlie RobinsonGUEST
I was like, Tom DeLay was 100% right.
Charlie RobinsonGUEST
It takes 10 years.
Felix BiedermanHOST
But they're not, you know, if you're rich enough, you could still have the same existence anywhere.
Felix BiedermanHOST
And I wonder if it left it so that All the people that ended up in power or most enough of them were like, you know, Tom DeLay.
Felix BiedermanHOST
Like they had like a real grind set where they were like, I don't care how shitty it is.
Felix BiedermanHOST
I'm going to go there and I'm going to get my nut.
Felix BiedermanHOST
But just by like your sheer ability to eat shit and smile.
Felix BiedermanHOST
All corruption in America stems from these types of people.
Felix BiedermanHOST
The Tom DeLays, these types.
Will MenakerHOST
Going on in the article here, it says, in November, Trump stood at a lectern in the East Room of the White House in front of an audience of foster parents and children.
Keith OlbermannHOST
The man who's to blame for 9-11 is Osama bin Laden.
Keith OlbermannHOST
To a lesser degree, you have Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich who distracted us in the 90s from the spiraling knowledge of what bin Laden wanted to do and force the entire American public and the media and the political system to focus during 1998 and 1999 on Bill Clinton's zippers.
Keith OlbermannHOST
In any event, back to John Carl and the reflecting pool.
Keith OlbermannHOST
The New York Times buried this story.
John FredericksGUEST
First of all, this guy is passionate, but he's brilliant in the way he handles this.
John FredericksGUEST
But it's not like Tom DeLay where he put the fear of God in people.
John FredericksGUEST
He's a positive motivator to get votes.
John FredericksGUEST
If you look at what Johnson and Emmer have done in getting every bill passed, every single one, including the payback, every one they get passed, now they're putting our favorite bill in history on the floor this coming week, the AM radio and every car bill.
Dave SmithHOST
Anyway, George W. Bush was open to do it.
Dave SmithHOST
It was Tom DeLay who talked him out of it and said, "The lobby will destroy you [laughs] if you try." And he didn't try.
Dave SmithHOST
He didn't wanna be a one-term president.
Dave SmithHOST
Um, anyway, so look, it's just k- important to keep in mind, like that's at the core of a lot of this, okay? And so keep in mind now, after...
Janet Kellogg RayGUEST
I think it's in one of my previous books.
Janet Kellogg RayGUEST
But a couple of decades ago, the former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Tom DeLay, said on the House floor that the blame for the Columbine school shootings were the fact that our school systems teach our children that they are nothing but glorified apes who have evolutionized—that was a new word on me—out of primordial mud.
Janet Kellogg RayGUEST
And even the current Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, not as Speaker, but in a sermon that he gave before he was Speaker, talks about how we've taught a whole generation of Americans that there's no right or wrong, that it's about survival of the fittest and you evolve from primordial slime.
Janet Kellogg RayGUEST
And so what we have are decades of these authority figures, politicians, our pastors, our Bible school teachers, who were telling us that being an animal or being an ape is equivalent to removing all moral responsibility from humans.
Randy WeberGUEST
I became a precinct chair of the election, clerk of the election, judge.
Randy WeberGUEST
I knocked on the door for Ronald Reagan and a guy by the name of Tom DeLay, by the way.
Randy WeberGUEST
And I've seen this for a long time.
Randy WeberGUEST
We cannot afford to let the crazy socialist Democrats, communist Democrats get in control.
Mike LittSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
On September 18th, Republican conservatives in Oregon plan to hold a conference in Turner, Oregon, south of Salem, entitled A Gathering of Eagles.
Mike LittSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This meeting will be addressed, among others, by Tom DeLay, Lars Larson, and Bob Tiernan, Republican Party chairman.
Mike LittSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Chris Dudley is listed as an invited guest.
Mike LittSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This group has an interesting statement of principles on their website, www.gatheringoftheeagles.com.
Michael BerryHOST
And I'll tell you that when I got to Houston or shortly thereafter, Fort Bend County was, if not the most reliably rock-ribbed Republican conservative county in the state, it was darn close to it.
Michael BerryHOST
It was a county that launched Tom DeLay, but it launched a lot of careers, and it was a very, very solid Republican county.
Michael BerryHOST
The composition of the county changed, and so did those in office, and unfortunately so did the policies, and Fort Bend County is not what it was.
Michael BerryHOST
And that's unfortunate because it was, in my opinion, it was the high water mark for the region.
