Discussed by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
Lt. Governor Dan Patrick discusses why the upcoming election is so important.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What is the difference between the Democrats and Republicans?
DID YOU KNOW? For the first time in Texas history, a Hispanic Republican was elected into the Texas Senate on September 18 in a Special Election. This district has been dominated by Democrats since 1879!
Do the majority of Hispanics really align with the Republican Party, yet still vote Democrat?
Are Democrats in Texas trying to copy California? Is this good or bad? HINT: It’s not good!
Why should you take someone with you to vote – or at least nag them until they do?!
Why is Texas eliminating straight-party voting in 2020? NOTE: The November 2018 Election will still have straight-party voting.

Title: Why Vote Straight Ticket?
Topic: Elections Matter
Discussed by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
Texas is the most Conservative state in the Union. We need to keep
it that way. Listen in as Lt. Governor Dan Patrick encourages all
Texas Republicans to vote Straight Ticket.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why are so many Republicans hesitant to vote “down ballot Republican”? “When
you don’t vote for someone you don’t know, you wind up electing a liberal who
you don’t like,” Lt. Governor Patrick states.
More often than not, an elected Republican official will vote according to the
Party Platform. Does this help the voter understand what a person really stands
for?
What are some of the policy differences between Republicans and Democrats?

Title: The President Wants to Control Your Kids through the Bathroom
Topic: Transgender Agenda
Discussed by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
What once was taboo is now everyday conversation. How did we get here?
When Lt. Governor Dan Patrick started his sports broadcasting radio show, women journalists weren’t even allowed in the men’s locker rooms – which, in my opinion, is how it should be, and vice versa! Now, here we are, talking about the “importance” of allowing boys into the girl’s locker room because of a perverted mental illness called “transgenderism”.
The LGBTQ community has told Dan that he needs to stay out of “local issues”. What?!? He is the Lt. Governor of Texas! His job is to help ALL Texans! Yes, local control is important and vital to the survival of government. However, when the vote has been taken away from the people by someone who absolutely has no right, that’s where he must step in on behalf of the people.
One teacher said to Lt. Governor Dan Patrick: “We have enough problems keeping the boys straight in the boy’s room! We surely don’t need to mingle them!”
Dan goes on to explain what the Superintendent of the school district in Ft. Worth did and why it is illegal. This issue is much, much larger than just a little boy or even a teen boy wanting to use the girl’s bathroom and locker room. That is really bad enough, but the real agenda is even scarier. There have been transgender students in schools for years and this issue has never been a problem. It’s only now that the President has stuck his nose in middle that we are even discussing it.
Lt. Governor Dan Patrick has asked all the Superintendents in Texas to stand down and fight back against Obama, who says he will withhold Federal funding from any public school which refuses to follow his new “guideline” for transgender students. “We will not be blackmailed with 30 pieces of silver,” Lt. Governor Dan Patrick has stated over and over again.
Pray for our country, for peace to spread throughout the people. Pray for our leaders, that they will turn away from this wickedness. Pray for parents who are abusing their children with “transgender” ideology. Pray for the students who are confused and troubled by this, that they will receive the help and love they need.
The LGBTQ community has gotten out of control. They must be reined in now or we may never stop them.

Title: Pray. Give. Go.
Topic: Presidential Politics
Discussed by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
Dan Patrick is not only the Texas Lt. Governor, he is also the Texas Chair for the Cruz for President Campaign. He joins us today to give an update on what is happening within the campaign and what you can do to ensure that a true, honest leader is elected President of the United States this November.
First, the Lt. Governor goes over some of the important facts and figures from Super Tuesday. Also, “If you add up all the Primaries, Donald Trump has received thirty-two percent of the vote and Ted Cruz has received twenty-eight percent of the vote,” Dan points out. That close number is very important and Dan explains why.
There are still several key caucuses and Primary Elections in coming weeks. Should Rubio (who is not far behind) and Kasich (who is really far behind) drop out of the race and let Trump and Cruz duke it out? Listen in as Dan discusses this as well.
So, what can you do to help? Pray. Give. Go. Please continue to pray for Ted
Cruz and his family; being in the spotlight like this is not easy. There are
long days and short nights. To help financially and to sign up to volunteer your
time, click here.
Please note: This interview was taped before the March 5 caucuses and elections. Therefore, some information might not be completely up-to-date.

Title: Analyzing the President’s Gun Speech
Topic: Gun Control
Discussed by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
Lt. Governor Dan Patrick discusses President Obama’s gun speech he
gave this past Tuesday. He says, “There is a focus on
controlling guns in America, but it won’t change the fact that the more
American’s protect themselves, the more crime goes down.” In fact,
statistics show that more people than ever are buying guns! Obama appears to be
the best salesman for the gun lobbyists! Listen in as Dan Patrick explains this
opinion that many have…
Fact: In 2000, only 35% of Americans felt they needed a gun to protect
their family; today over 63% feel they need a gun!
Dan also discusses the incredible increase in the amount of women who are
seeking gun permits. It is much, much higher than men! The number of people in
urban areas buying guns is always increasing. Why are they so concerned?
Obama’s crazy gun-control ideas won’t stop when his term as President is over.
Hillary has promised to take his agenda even further if she is elected! We
cannot allow this to happen.

Title: Texas Lt Governor Opinion on HERO
Topic: Politics
Discussed by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
Every other year, in odd years, the Texas Legislature offers
registered voters the chance to vote on Constitutional Amendments.
Voting has already begun on this year’s seven Constitutional
Amendments, which every registered voter can vote for or against, in addition to
city and county elections and bonds.
Lt. Governor Dan Patrick encourages every registered voter to vote early in this
year’s election – just because you can! If you’ve ever wondered why the election
for Constitutional Amendments is held in odd years, listen in as he explains. He
also discusses the seven Constitutional Amendments which are on everyone’s
ballot. Each Constitutional Amendments has bipartisan support from the
Legislature and he encourages people to vote in favor of each of them.
Lt. Governor Dan Patrick also wants to warn people to be cautious when voting
because it can be confusing with so many different “Prop 1’s” to choose from! He
does want to encourage you to vote AGAINST the Houston Equal Rights
Ordinance (HERO). Listen in as he passionately explains why this would not
benefit Houston at all.

Title: Planned Parenthood
Topic: Planned Parenthood
Discussed by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick

In this first
segment with Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, he discusses the recent undercover videos
depicting Planned Parenthood employees bragging about selling baby body
parts. Lt. Patrick reminds us that Texas has already stopped giving
funds to Planned Parenthood; he says the federal government needs to do the
same, or at least suspend the funds until the investigation is complete. “Even
people who are pro-choice should be aghast over this, and they’re not,” Lt.
Patrick says.
He also discusses the possibility of hearings in the future if charges are
brought against Planned Parenthood for selling baby body parts. He promises
this, however, “If Planned Parenthood facilities are doing that here {selling
baby parts}, then I will do everything within my power to stop it.”

Title: Illegal Alien Crime Wave
Topic: Illegal Aliens and Crime Rates
Discussed by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
In this second
segment with Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, he tackles the hot topic of illegal
immigration. We all know this is a hard issue to discuss. America
is the land of opportunity and we want to help all that we can. However, we do
have laws, and when those laws are broken, people should be help accountable.
During his campaign for Lt. Governor, Dan often discussed illegal immigration
and the problem it has become in not only Texas, but in the United States. He
and Terry reveal shocking statistics regarding crimes committed by illegal
aliens; those numbers can be found [here].
Lt. Governor Patrick also discusses a bill that has been proposed to ban
“Sanctuary Cities”, Senate openings, questions to ask candidates running for
office, and the latest Legislative Session wins and losses.

Title: Are Pastors Really Safe?
Topic: Pastor Protection Act
Discussed by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
During the recent
Legislative Session, the Texas Senate passed SB2065, known as the Pastor
Protection Act, which is designed to protect pastors who do not wish to
reside over same-sex marriages. This seems like a ridiculous issue, but
it was necessary Legislation. The homosexual mafia is already ten steps ahead of
us; we need to stop “strategizing” and do something – now.
Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and others are on the run
after the LGBT crowd. In fact, Paxton has issued a statement regarding the
issue. But, was it enough? Will Paxton’s statement be effective in protecting
pastors and government employees? There has been some confusion over his
statement. Listen in as Lt. Governor Patrick gives his opinion…
“This is more than just about marriage. This is about undermining religious
liberty for everyone on a number of levels,” Patrick says. Will our 1st
Amendment rights stand or be trampled into the ground? Lt. Governor isn’t going to back down; he isn’t going anywhere. He will stay vigilant and vows to protect traditional marriage with all his might.
This is the exact wording from Attorney General Ken Paxton: “County clerks and their employees retain religious freedoms that may provide accommodation of their religious objections to issuing same-sex marriage licenses. Justices of the peace and judges also may claim that the government forcing them to conduct same sex wedding ceremonies over their religious objections, particularly when other authorized individuals have no objection to conducting such ceremonies, is not the least restrictive means of furthering any compelling governmental interest in ensuring that such ceremonies occur. Importantly, the strength of any particular religious accommodation claim depends on the particular facts of each case.”
