Accountability test for Texas Republicans

Most recently, as we approach these elections, 31 different Republican House members have been put on a list.

And put on a list by themselves and by the Republican leadership and all the political guys helping the speaker and the leadership of the Texas House and the leadership of the Republican Party in Texas saying, holy smokes, we have 31 House Republicans who are endangered, right? Who have tough races and we need to be focused on and worried about them.

But what's interesting to me is who some of these people are, right? Like...

house district 14 paul dyson so here's a guy up in bryan college station and he's vulnerable to the democrat that surprises me surprised me a lot and i'm just trying to figure out if it's the wave nature of the election or if it's because of dyson's son at least in part his policies right here's a guy who who said uh who opposed donald trump And on those foreign truckers, right? We've talked about this in the past, but the data is out in the last 12 months, the Trump administration took 28,000 truck drivers off the road in America.

And why? Because these guys couldn't read English or speak English at the most basic levels to understand road signs, to understand markings, or to be able to communicate.

These guys are driving 70, 75,000 pound vehicles, which are really big messes, missiles, right? 18 wheelers.

And they're driving them 70, 75 miles an hour down the highway.

And they can't read when there's a big alert.

Hey, crash ahead.

Be prepared to stop at 350 feet.

They don't have the capacity or the ability to read that.

They can't speak English.

And many of them are driving on a foreign CDL, foreign, you know, claiming that, oh, I'm an accomplished driver.

I know how to do this stuff.

I have a commercial driver's license from Cuba or Venezuela or insert wherever, you know, Ethiopia.

So so Texas says under the law, like, hey, if an 18 wheeler driver crashes into you.

and they can't speak English or they can't read English or they're driving on a CDL, a foreign CDL, not from the U.S., the jury automatically finds out.

They just are automatically informed of this.

And we want to make sure that everybody knows, like, hey, there's a problem here.

Well, I don't think any of those people should have been on the road to start with just straight up.

But our friends at Texans for Lawsuit Reform, who, you know, big donors are Republicans and big donors of Democrats, millions and millions to each in Texas over the last many decades.

We think most of us are that they're funded really by the big insurance companies.

So people like Paul Dyson or Jeff Leach, who's also on the list.

They introduce bills and support bills to say, no, we're going to change the law.

These foreign truck drivers that can't read English, can't speak English, driving on a foreign CDL.
