Of course, I'm talking about the Maga Republican party, a party full of criminals run by a convicted felon and 77 million people think, yeah, he's my guy. One of those guys is Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton is a huge maga thumper despite Trump colony, ugly on the campaign trail the last month, which doesn't surprise me much. Ken Paxton can't get enough of it because all of these do Republican men love to be humiliated by Donald Trump and some weird kink, some weird shit going on there. But Ken Paxton's corruption includes that he was indicted for securities fraud. Pop this up. Here's his mug shot. How many maga candidates have mug shots now besides the president? Quite a bit. And there's a new fad that they're going through. They smile shots. That's kind of a new thing for him. Mm hmm. And the FBI investigated him for misusing his office to help his friend and donor Nate Paul, who was under federal investigation. He was impeached by the Texas Senate. He admitted to an affair with a former Senate aide and it came out during his impeachment trial that he'd asked Nate Paul

to hire the woman so she could move to Austin. The state bar of Texas sued Paxton for professional misconduct in 2022 and 2025 his wife sent a state senator Angela Paxton filed for divorce on biblical grounds pop up this tweet. Today after 38 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds. Here at IHIP news, we call that I'm filing for divorce based on he fucked around and I found out. She calls it biblical grounds. We call it the fuck around find out. Let's speak for let me finish with his rap sheet. He stole a thousand dollar pen from a courthouse, which that's a weird shit. And there's new report. It looks like he violated federal ethics law and his financial disclosures. He reported owning seven homes, but said he earned no income from them. But most of them are actually rented out. He's repeatedly failed to disclose his assets or investments since at least 2008.

Josh here's a criminal defense attorney. Josh is quite the little rap sheet considering he's running for United States Senate under that umbrella. This he wants to be a United States senator. This is the best we got. Let me give you just a one sentence a response as to how his candidacy is going over in the state of Texas. John Cornyn has endorsed Tallerico and will not vote for Ken Paxton. So what does that tell you and then we all know John Cornyn. You know where this guy lands on everything. So that's I think that's a preview of of what's going on in the state of Texas. I've always marveled at the fact that this guy is not in prison. It's pretty amazing. He was indicted in 2015 by federal grand jury. Those charges were pending for nine years until guess what? Donald Trump gets elected to a second term in DOJ.

Dismiss is those I think he gets some kind of restitution and community service and and as you pointed out, there's another corruption probe that was dismissed in 2025 by Donald Trump's Department of Justice and keep in mind. Donald Trump has endorsed this criminal. So you have one criminal endorsing another criminal. What's odd about this is that Donald Trump is the convicted felon not Ken Paxton. That's the real fucking that scratcher here. How did that happen? Right? Yeah. So another thing to you talked about this impeachment. The Texas House in Pistom. He wasn't can he wasn't convicted by the Senate, but he was convicted or he was impeached. And that was 121 to 23 vote. Do you know how many Republicans crossed the line to do that? Do you know how often that happens? I mean, this guy's in Ted Cruz category of being hated, but not just that. They're actually acting upon their dislike for him. There's tons of Republicans that hate this guy.

So if you can out corrupt your own party to where they hate you, the Republican party, that means you're doing a lot of awful, bad shit because the Republicans is you and I talking about day in and day out. They're they're corrupt themselves. So you're taking it to a whole another level. It's amazing in this day and age to that's a nominee. And just like I think about Donald Trump to be the president of the United States, all the brilliant minds in our country, all the things that could be done. That's who we get. In the state of Texas, you have to be thinking, do I want this man as my senator? You've seen a preview of this guy for the past 15, 20 years play out. You know what he's like. Is this what you want? Is this consistent with your idea of family, Christian values? Who says Halloween only lasts one day with way fair? One night of Halloween becomes a whole season at home from larger than life, yard decor and moody lighting to festive accents for every room in the house.

Way fair has what you need to make Halloween feel like magic all in one place. Because the best Halloween memories aren't made in just one night. They're made all season long. Shop Halloween decor now at way fair dot com. But you know, I think it must kind of be must be. I think that that that taps into there is a part of our electorate and that Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, when she called him basket of deplorable and Joe Biden called him trash. That's true. This is representative of the Texas electorate. There is a lot there are a lot of people in Texas. Trump won Texas, Handle Lee, both times, all three times that he ran for president. This is a cancer, particularly in Bible belt states where you have these morally bankrupt men. That Christian signal to the electorate that they're these big Christians and women shouldn't get abortions and you know, we're white men are in charge your best when we handle business ladies.

Let us handle it. And there's a lot millions of people that believe this shit that would rather have a criminal in power. Then have a decent person in power. And I think that's a real reflection of that part of the culture. And I liken it to the fact that probably all liken it to this, my mother, my whole life, my mother is an atheist, my whole life. She would say Jennifer, the bigger the Christian, the bigger the secrets and a lot of people in this evangelical Christian movement in Texas, this mega church culture. They they're mega church pastors are releasing them and are probably doing poppers with, you know, hookers, either gay or heterosexual and bathrooms on the weekend and then Sunday. It's, you know, tongue-talking praise Jesus. And in their own marriages because nobody is ever able to work through what accountability means. Even in a evangelical Christianity, Mrs. a huge step that's super important in society and as a human being, the accountability part you fuck up.

Then there's an accountability process that you go through and then you earn forgiveness and evangelical Christianity. It's Saturday night, poppers, pulling trains with people that aren't your spouse Sunday morning forgiveness. Rentson repeat and so Donald Trump, this is a man who was fucked up his whole life and he has been forgiven him for giving him forgiven him for giving him forgiven, but zero accountability. And so they see in these candidates that fuck up, they don't want them to face accountability because then they would have to face something personally that they're incapable of doing with them that their religion hasn't given them the tools. Like, you know, if you're an evangelical Christian, Josh, you could, you know, leave here, go pick a bunch of fights in the park across the street. And really enter people hospitalized them go to church on Sunday and say, really fucked up God, please forgive me and it's forgiven it's over. You don't have to do any therapeutic work to talk about what's wrong. And that's fundamentally why all this culture keeps electing all of these dipshits.

And Angela Paxton divorcing him for biblical reasons. It's just the hypocrisy. I've always said that right before I die, I want to get saved. Not because I'm a Christian. I don't believe in any of that shit, but just get a little bit of an insurance policy. That means I can live my whole life full of debauchery and acting out and being a heathen and doing all the bad crazy shit. Then I can just go get saved and all of it is washed away. And just in case I get to go to have it. I don't want to get saved because I don't want to be with these people. That's true. All it's a better option. What do you better? I do not want to be with lion Ted Cruz. Kim Paxton and all of these other fucking freaks, all the mega churches, the 77 million triple truppers count me out. I will never get say, be a zelbub horns. Let's go, baby, because I ain't going up there. I thought about that too. Okay. Paxton, whether these controversies and charges by playing up culture war bullshit, because that's all he has because this guy is a

Philanderer. He's a fake hypocritical Christian. He's a criminal. He's a cricket. He's still a thousand dollar pen. I mean, my God. I saw videos all over Instagram about a month ago. He's over on the tube and London playing grab bass with his mistress. And she's some big. It was during fourth of July and everybody was giving him. Yeah, our 250 year anniversary in Paris. Yeah. She's, you know, she's some big Christian that's got a biblical marriage and all these kids too. And they're over there playing grab bass on the tube. Perfect. So he goes in on the immigration, the abortion, the transgender issues and all this. And what I have to say to the electorate at large. Okay. Let's say that abortion is banned everywhere. Every single place you can do it. And there's no birth control pills or any of that. And then let's say that if somebody's transgender, they can't say it. You're just going to force them into a closet and deadbolt them. Let's say you get all of those things. Is gas lower? Do you have health care?

Is your life working better? What does that fix? Because I want to remind everybody that transgender people, immigrants, women that need abortion care, have kitchen table issues as well. None of these things solve any problems other than giving you something to distract and participate in the recreational cruelty that evangelical Christianity lives in. That's my, that's my take on all of those culture wars. And I'm not aware of any trans issue that has any impact on the economy. Are you, I mean, well, I would say the LGBTQ plus community has a positive impact. I mean, just think about, I mean, gay marriages. I mean, that has to be a huge boom. Right. But they use these, like you said, and what we've talked about this forever. I mean, where we live, where it's poverty-stricken and the rural parts of Oklahoma and all of these counties are voting predominantly Republican. I mean, and that's just like Texas, just like that. Why do they do that? Part of that, I think, is religion. Part of that are these three or four grab issues, social issues, fear mongering, race baiting.

All of that's intertwined. I think with the religious message and obviously not having the smartest electorate, I mean, you've got people at live in a small town that stay in that town that they're not exposed to different things or educated about other things and watch Fox News and it happens day in day out. All right. And then the former top aid to Paxton has now appeared in an ad for James Tallarika. David Maxwell is a lifelong Republican with an actual backbone. I mean, this is, I mean, the profile encourage if I've ever seen one was Paxton's. Let's, let's go ahead and play this commercial. Is Ken Paxton. And this is Ken Paxton's firing and honest Texas Ranger. Here's what happened. David Maxwell spent five decades in law enforcement and was inducted into the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame. The best of the best. Let's just say he knows a bad guy when he sees one. So when he saw his boss Ken Paxton trading favors with a convicted felon, he had to speak up.

He reported Ken Paxton to the FBI and Ken Paxton fired him for it. Ranger Maxwell testified in Ken Paxton's impeachment trial. I told him that a night call was a criminal. He was going to get himself and died it. Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party. But Ranger Maxwell isn't done speaking up against bad guys. My name is David Maxwell. Ken Paxton ended my five daycare career because I blew the whistle on his corruption. I am supporting James Tallarika for the US Senate. Vote for James Tallarika. He's one of the good guys. Inject that shit into my veins. That's delicious. Love it. Josh. Things are pretty dire in Texas when you got these Republicans coming out and doing that. I'd love to say that's a profile and courage, but I think it's more a testament of just how bad a human being Ken Paxton really is. I mean, that's what this is about. I think the state of Texas is seeing this.

I think this is playing out in real time as far as the polling. And Tallarika's chances of winning and that will be a huge win in the state of Texas if we get it. Well, here's the problem with that. So 1.3 million people have been there voting on the polls has been put into question. And a lot of people don't know that their names have been put in this kind of a purgatory, if you will. Another thing is Governor Hot Wheels, Greg Abbott. He has closed down polling sites, making it to where when you go to vote, you're going to have to wait in line for hours upon hours upon hours because the situation with Governor Hot Wheels is he is a hypocrite of the highest order. He a tree fell on him and he is now in a wheelchair. Hence the nickname that I bring in the state calls him Governor Hot Wheels. And he was able to sue and receive money for damages to his life.

He has since passed legislation that prevents people from doing exactly what he did. And Donald Trump can call Greg Abbott and say, I need for you to do this. I need for you to throw these ballots away. Remember the call in Georgia. I need 11,000 something, something votes. And the Republicans in that state said, no, they even recorded him and they whistle blue. Hot Wheels isn't going to do any of that. He will say, sir, yes, sir, tell me what you need for me to do and I will do it. I will do whatever you need for me to do to lie, cheat and steal this election. So Talor Enko should win, but we also have to point out this is the electorate, the continually elects Ted Fucking Cruz. So that's a problem. I get it. I get it. And where we live too, you just see it day in and day out and you know, and Texas is a lot like Oklahoma. You look around and if you don't like your life, how in the world are you blaming Democrats for it? I mean, there's a Republican after Republican after Republican after Republican in all facets of government.

And so think about that Texans. If you don't like your government vote to change it. Yeah, I completely agree. All right, obviously we endorse enthusiastically, Mr. Taloriko. And I wish the former Mrs. Pax and the best of luck with her divorce on biblical grounds, aka the fuck around find out divorce. All right, that's all we have. Everybody have a good one.
