James Talarico EXPOSES Elon Musk’s Texas Senate Attack, Accuses Him Of Spreading Lies & Scary Texts

This election is about whether you want a senator who puts money in your pocket or who puts money in their own. This election is about whether you want a senator who is for Texas or for himself. This election is about whether you want a senator who serves you or who serves their billionaire megadonors. And Ken Paxton has the ultimate megadonor. Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. We just found out that the richest man in the world is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and stop the movement that we are building in our state. In all likelihood, if you've seen an attack ad on your screens, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos, That was Elon too. Our movement is funded by 1.3 million individuals who have donated their hard-earned money to this campaign. Ken Paxton is funded by one dude. Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants our tax dollars. He wants his very own personal United States senator, he is trying to buy Texas but on November 3rd we are going to deliver a crystal clear message to the world's first trillionaire, Texas is not for sale, it is so good to see you go Cougs, thank you for being here, thank you, thank you, thank you, I want to thank I want to thank Congressman Tensinger if he's still here for his service and his friendship and I want to thank my dear friend Representative Jolanda Jones who is a fierce champion for students and working people and I don't know if she mentioned this to you but she is a proud alum of the University of Houston and she was a star athlete here at the University of Houston I think Joe Jones is in two halls of fame here at the University of Houston so it's so good to be here with my dear friend and I'm so thankful that all of you showed up, it is great to be back here at U of H and I just I want to tell you we launched our Clear Eyes Full Hearts tour just a few days ago we are going across this state in the final days of this election at this time of year in Texas there is no better place to be than a high school football game, the band, the roar of the crowd the chill in the air and everyone in town, no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from is there for the same reason, to root for the same team. When I was in high school, they were filming a TV show in our town. It was called Friday Night Lights. It's a show about the Dillon Panthers, an underdog high school football team, and their coach, Eric Taylor. In the very first episode, right before the big game, Coach Taylor gives a locker room speech, and he says, they're going to come at you with everything they've got. I expect you boys to execute. I expect you boys to play football. And then he ends with those six immortal words. Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. U of H, there is a moment in every game, the last play of the last drive, when you have to leave it all on the field. We are in that moment. In the final days of this election, they're coming at us with everything they've got. The billionaire mega donors, the super PACs, they are spending $200 million. in attack ads against us. That is the most of any Senate race in American history, and more is on the way. They are scared. They are terrified. They see what we see, that we're about to win this election. We are building a movement to take back our state and take back our country. We are uniting Texans of all backgrounds and all beliefs onto one team to take on this broken, corrupt political system. We have recruited more than 60,000 people to volunteer, to knock on doors, to make phone calls, to send text messages. And if you haven't signed up to volunteer, I hope you'll do that when you go home after this event on our website. We have shattered every grassroots fundraising record in American history, and we've done it without taking a dime from corporate PACs. This is a people-powered campaign. And on November 3rd, we are going to do something extraordinary. We are going to do something historic. We are going to shock the nation. We're going to shock the world when we take back Texas and end 30 years of one-party rule in our state. I have traveled every corner of Texas, from Beaumont to El Paso, from Amarillo to Brownsville. We've had thousands of Texans showing up at our events. I can't tell you the number of people who come up to me at the end of these events and whisper, I'm not a Democrat. like they're in the witness protection program i can't tell you the number of young people who have showed up at our events and told me it's the first political event they've ever attended that is how we change the politics of this state and of this country you know we we forget that politics is supposed to be about service elected officials aren't supposed to serve themselves they're not supposed to serve their mega donors they're supposed to serve us they're supposed to serve the people. I first learned the meaning of public service from my great-grandfather, my papi. He was a barber in Port O'Connor, Texas on the Gulf Coast, and he served this country in World War II in the Pacific Theater. Papi was a member of the greatest generation, a group of Americans who asked not what their country could do for them, but what they could do for their country. And whether he was cutting his neighbor's hair or fighting fascism, On the other side of the world, Poppy was always serving other people. He was a faithful man. That's the best word I can think of to describe him. He was a devout Christian, and he tried to actually live like Jesus, who in the words of Scripture came not to be served, but to serve. And that's how my Poppy lived his life. My Poppy came not to be served, but to serve. And that's what inspired me to go into public service. first as a public school teacher on the west side of San Antonio where I taught sixth grade language arts at Rhodes Middle School I um I always I always say that teaching middle school is the best preparation for politics I entered the classroom in the fall of 2011 right after the Texas Legislature cut more than five billion dollars from public education I saw the impact of those cuts firsthand I had 45 students in one classroom there there weren't enough desks for all my students so I had kids sitting on the air conditioning unit in the wealthiest country in human history in the 21st century children sitting on the air conditioning unit and that made me mad I ended up leading an education non-profit in Central Texas that was helping students like mine schools like mine and then when a seat in that very same legislature opened up in my hometown of Round Rock Texas I threw my hat in the ring I was I was 28 years old I had never run for office before I was a Democrat running in a Trump district in a county that was so red it hadn't voted for a Democrat for president since Jimmy Carter I was told by the powers that be in the Democratic Party that that race was a lost cause I was told that even if it was possible to win a seat like that I was too young I didn't have the money I didn't have the political connections to pull off an upset of that kind but my neighbors and i we ran an aggressive authentic at times unorthodox campaign that brought people together and on election night we flipped that district with 51 percent of the vote and now and now i'm in my fourth term in the Texas House where i have brought Democrats and Republicans together to pass 60 bipartisan bills bills that raise teacher pay Bills that lower the cost of housing, the cost of child care, the cost of prescription drugs, including insulin. I ran for office not to be served, but to serve. And then there's Ken Paxton, the most corrupt politician in Texas. Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party, by his fellow Republicans, for using his public office, His position of public trust to enrich himself and his donors at the expense of the people of Texas. Ken Paxton represents everything that's wrong with this broken, corrupt system. He doesn't serve us. He serves himself. You may have seen that since taking office, Ken Paxton has increased his net worth by $27 million. All while our pay has remained stagnant. He now owns 15 homes, while most Texans struggle to afford one. It's hard to get 15 homes in a game of Monopoly. I don't know how Ken Paxton got 15 homes. He was impeached for taking bribes from wealthy donors, all while blocking our overtime pay and gutting our health care. This is the rot at the core of this broken system. It's why so many Texans can't get ahead, no matter how hard they work. It's why we can't afford the basics. We can't afford gas or groceries or health care because the system has been rigged by billionaires and corrupt politicians like Ken Paxton. We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis. But we can change that in this election, in this state, in this race. if we come together not as Democrats or Republicans but as Texans to defeat the most corrupt politician in our state we can come together to defeat this entire corrupt system the reason they're spending 200 million dollars against me is because they know what when we win this race i am gonna pass an anti-corruption agenda that gets big money out of our politics that that that bans corporate PACs and super PACs so billionaires don't buy our elections that bans members of Congress in both political parties from trading stocks and enriching themselves while they're in public office that will that will ban that will ban gerrymandering nationwide in red states and blue states alike and that will enact term limits so we can show these puppet politicians the door that is the kind of comprehensive anti-corruption agenda we desperately need in this country that's why they're spending so much money against us that's why those billionaire mega donors are trying to buy this election actually it's just one billionaire mega donor Elon Musk is trying to buy this senate seat in Texas we just found out that the richest man in the world is almost single handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and stop this movement we're building in our state in all likelihood if you've seen an attack ad on your screen that was Elon if you've gotten lies in your mailbox that was Elon if you've received a text message saying scary things about me that was Elon too our movement is funded by 1.3 million individuals who have donated their hard-earned money to our campaign Ken Paxton Ken Paxton is funded by one dude Elon Musk wants our land he wants our water he wants our taxpayer dollars he wants his very own personal United States senator he is trying to buy Texas but on November 3rd we are going to send a clear message to the world's first trillionaire Texas is not for sale this this election this election reminds me of that story in scripture of a young shepherd boy who goes up against a giant. In that story, Goliath, he taunts and he teases. He shows up on the day of the fight in full armor. He's carrying so many weapons, he needs someone else to carry his shield We are going up against our own Goliaths, the richest man in the world, the most powerful man in the world, the most corrupt politician in Texas. Their power is real, but so is ours. David may not have been as strong or as big as Goliath He may not have had as many weapons But he had faith He had hope And he had a slingshot U of H You are my slingshot The people of Texas are my slingshot And on November 3rd Those Goliaths aren't going to know what hit them We have so much work to do in these final days U of H So much work to do In fact, we're going to have our U of H campaign fellows, if they're here in the room, they're over here. They are going to lead y'all to your polling location so you can vote, so you can bring your friends to vote. If we do that, if we all show up, if we bring our friends and family, if we make our voices heard, I am confident. I feel it in my bones that we are going to win this election on November 3rd. And we're going to elect a senator who will serve and not be served. this is the last play of the last drive this is the moment we leave it all on the field because as every Texan knows, Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose.
