1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,640
Well, apparently Republicans want big massive
government now, as my

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,680
state house rep filed to dissolve the city of
Austin.

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,760
And by dissolve, I mean basically taking power
away from

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,080
the city council and the mayor's position and
giving it

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,200
all to the Speaker of the House.

6
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,640
And why would Peterson want to do this?

7
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,120
Well, he says it's because of high taxes and
high

8
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,160
crimes in Austin.

9
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,000
A common headline you see all the time on Fox

10
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,640
News, claiming that every single liberal city
always has more

11
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,920
crime rate than anywhere else.

12
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,600
This is just another blatant power grab.

13
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,600
A power grab by a guy who lives in Frisco,

14
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,760
which is four hours away from Austin.

15
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,840
Frisco Boy is so desperate to do this that he

16
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,360
even wants to amend the Texas Constitution to
allow this

17
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:33,920
to happen.

18
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,440
I really want this to sink into your heads
real

19
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,440
quick because this guy right here who lives in
Frisco,

20
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,520
four hours away from Austin, wants to
completely dissolve the

21
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,440
power of the mayor and the city council and
give

22
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,960
it all to the Speaker of the House.

23
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,200
If we allow this to happen to Austin, Texas,
who's

24
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:45,520
next?

25
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,400
Is it gonna be Houston?

26
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,680
Is it gonna be the rest of the state?

27
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,240
Who else?

28
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,640
This legislation is gonna trigger a domino
effect that will

29
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,120
affect multiple other cities throughout the
state and give all

30
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,520
the power to this guy right here, the Speaker
of

31
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,840
the House, who let me just show you his
quality

32
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,720
of work here.

33
00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,360
Mr.

34
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,160
Campbell, the send that amendment amendment is
assembled with the

35
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,560
author.

36
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,800
Is there objection to the opposite amendment?

37
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:08,400
The chair has done the members adopted.

38
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,680
Recognize Mr.

39
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,400
Mr.

40
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,960
Johnson of Harris.

41
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:13,440
Mr.

42
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:18,400
Johnson of Harris to speak in opposition to
the bill.

43
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,920
And I want you to think about this the next

44
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,560
time you're in the voting with because
Republicans are relentless.

45
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,800
They want to destroy local government.

46
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,160
That is what they're all about.

47
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,520
We have to vote them out, folks.

48
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,480
We have to vote them out.
