Does the Texas State Constitution have a “recall” provision that allows incompetent politicians to be ejected from their jobs before their term is up and gives voters an opportunity to choose someone who will work for “the people”. If there is a recall provision then someone in Texas needs to get the process rolling.
Remember how they went without power and that terrible crash on the highway killing people if they don't vote him out that mean they like what he is doing
I agree. The whole recall gimmick with the Governor of California is a joke but in reality, for the sake of public health safety, the Governors of Texas and Florida should be the ones that are recalled. They do not have the public's well being in mind, rather making a twice impeached former President happy or help their future reelections.
Abbott just issued more bans yesterday. This time against the vaccine. TX has always been bad but now our Gov is seriously trying to kill us. This is a nightmare.
@@liblibrarian4346 I know right‼️ Remember how they lifted the ban early last year without gradual compliance..? The jacked up grid is still jacked up but they claim it’s fixed-it’s not. It’s an exhaustive list, so I’ll leave it there. They removed the power for companies to insist on employee vaccination requirements. COVID will stay on the death march indefinitely now. 🇺🇸🤷♀️🦇💩🤪🦠
It's just sickening that local government officials are having to waste time, and resources to fight against the governor of their state, in order to keep their people safe. Unfortunately, it isn't just Texas. Such a tragic situation.
@@asise5722 well that sounds simple enough, doesn't it. Trump, and his minions have done a really good job of dividing this country, making us hate each other, for no damn good reason. I'm afraid it's never going to be "simple", ever again.
We love our mayor from San Antonio Texas. He does the opposite of our governor. Abbot’s love and obedience is for Trump. I wonder who will he call when we get a natural disaster from the tropics. It would be awkward since he has been trashing Biden since day one.
And the difference is that Biden understands that when any disaster strikes anywhere in this country, the people affected need help immediately. Regardless of their voter registration. If Texas had been blue, bunkkkerboi would have stroked its own ego and say, "I take no responsibility..." So, yeah, try to make it sound like Biden would be as ignorant as cheetoboy
He can attack Biden all he wants, should a disaster happen and they need government aid, Biden will do what is right for the PEOPLE and give the aid needed, because Biden is a bigger man than all of those trying to attack him. All they do with each attack is show how incompetent and childish they are, and should not be in an elected office.
We need to get Greg Abbott out of office Greg Abbott is like Trump only wants money for his pockets does not care about his people let's get Greg Abbott out of office now
Lots of Trumplicans is like Trump. Trumplicans are taking them over and they don't care how many men, women, and children have to die in order to accomplish their goals.
The pos received a multi-million $$ settlement for an accident he was involved in. Shortly thereafter he enacted legislation that took away the rights of similarly injured Texans to sue for compensation for permanent bodily injuries. abbott got his and couldn't give 2 fuqs about the average Texan. abbott is despicable.
Then go live in NY or California if you hate Texas so much... You know? The states that make and keep you poor as shit while the governors there actually do make tons of money off you.
He’s got some serious mental problems. Allowing his constituents to die. Gif bless those who are trying to protect Texans - their health and voting rights! Vote BLUE

Mayor Nirenberg! 😄 I'd run into him now and then as a city employee. Dude is extremely down to earth. Super nice guy who's always tried to keep partisan politics out of city policy. But with the current situation?... It's obviously getting a lot harder to do now but I wouldn't put that blame on him. I mean, last week alone we had 3 unvaxxed city employees (ages 40, 43 & 44) pass away from delta. One of them was my coworker. 😔 Now we have a $300 incentive to get vaccinated. It's helped but there are still some city employees who are stuck in their ways.
Welcome to San Antonio, Brian. Gotta say, I didn’t vote for Nirenberg first time around but his handling of COVID got me to vote for him last election. He’s done a great job and has been a good representative of our city.
People are a little fed up with the lack of coverage by a lot of independent channels on Afghanistan but as I’ve pointed out several times they can access it on every single MSM network and BTC is an amazing political commentator not a news anchor answerable to a network. 💙

Kudos to Texans who are masking without listening to some of their politicians. Noted around n Irving and dallas areas alot of ppl are masking regardless
That is certainly something to consider, but there’s two things you have to think about. 1. I think you’ll find it extremely difficult to recall the governor in either Texas or Florida 2. If you’re going to pull this off, you have to find a candidate who can beat the setting governor in an election. There’s no point kicking out a bad governor if you don’t have a good one to go in his place.
@@Pilotin74 I know. I live in Las Cruces which is 40 miles north of El Paso and a lot of the people I work with live in El Paso. The local government in El Paso is pushing back on the governor, but most of the progress has simply been people getting together and doing the right thing. Of course, being way over in the West End of Texas helps, too. I think sometimes the Texas government forgets that El Paso is part of Texas. 😁
After hearing the conversation between Brian and Nirenberg, I checked out this mayor's bio. OMGosh he should be the Govenor of Texas.

Safe from what? Abbott is ensuring a parent decides what is best for their child. Who better than a parent, who knows their child best and wants what is best to make that decision. The virus is not going away; it's here to stay. Unless you're wearing an N95 mask and disposing it daily, then you're just feeling safe without actually being safe. Source: US surgeon, Fauci, WHO, etc...
@@davidc8683 I thought it was pretty clear to everyone by now that Republicans aren't able to parent properly. personally I have no problem with taking all their children away and giving them to families that actually want them vaccinated and will wear a mask. holy crap your comment is just so incredibly ignorant I'm surprised you're able to tie your shoes. obviously you're free to think whatever you want but it would probably be a good idea if you stop going to channels that clearly care about other people and dumping your nonsense in them.
@@davidc8683 Ok you have actual experts in diseases and infections telling those ignorant parents the "better" way literally every day for over a year. Ive seen the dregs of society that you feel "know whats best" for themselves and their poor kids at the town hall and school board meetings. Those knuckle dragging dopes couldn't pass a basic literacy test much less a science class. They are literally the dumbest of our entire electorate. They barely know which way is up without someone telling them. I definitely think they can not make the best decisions for their kids, they are largely incapable of informed decisions because they're so poorly informed.. Covid wasn't even real to these simps until now "its not going away". Either way , transmission is hindered by basic mask usage. Id like to know if these same people suddenly find seat belts an affront to their "freedumb" . How about smoke alarms ? Smallpox vaccines ? Polio isn't a thing anymore , know why ?
Abbot wants everybody else to know what being incapacitated means. Child:" I have covid", Abbott: "Big Deal!! , At Least you can still walk into the hospital..!! ".
Moderator Musings ~ can I point out that BTC interviews truly interesting politicians. Not only does he share local government officials to the nation but internationally. These are people who may not figure in our daily lives but as ‘we the people’ we have the power of the vote. For him to spotlight various government leaders either in their constituency or state is useful for all of us when it comes to deciding how to use our vote in all of the elections. Thank you @Brian Tyler Cohen.

How do they go about getting a recall for governor Abbott in Texas?
So sorry. Not available under the Texas Constitution.
I may have just witnessed a future President and Vice President, I won't say which is which 🤞
Governor or Lt. Governor, pick your poison...and incase anyone forgot, he's done nothing to fix the electrical grid either.
Wow! The Mayor. Great catch! #BTC
More interviews like this please. BTC asking the right questions. Always looking sharp bro.
That’s MY mayor, god bless him…
The Republican Death Cult demands more sacrifices. I commend the Mayor for doing everything he can to keep his citizens safe.
Safe from what? Abbott is ensuring a parent decides what is best for their child. Who better than a parent, who knows their child best and wants what is best to make that decision.
The virus is not going away; it's here to stay. Unless you're wearing an N95 mask and disposing it daily, then you're just feeling safe without actually being safe. Source: US surgeon, Fauci, WHO, etc...
@@davidc8683 All viruses are here to stay. But we contain them through vaccines.
Agreed 👍
@@davidc8683 I thought it was pretty clear to everyone by now that Republicans aren't able to parent properly. personally I have no problem with taking all their children away and giving them to families that actually want them vaccinated and will wear a mask. holy crap your comment is just so incredibly ignorant I'm surprised you're able to tie your shoes. obviously you're free to think whatever you want but it would probably be a good idea if you stop going to channels that clearly care about other people and dumping your nonsense in them.
@@davidc8683 Ok you have actual experts in diseases and infections telling those ignorant parents the "better" way literally every day for over a year. Ive seen the dregs of society that you feel "know whats best" for themselves and their poor kids at the town hall and school board meetings. Those knuckle dragging dopes couldn't pass a basic literacy test much less a science class. They are literally the dumbest of our entire electorate. They barely know which way is up without someone telling them. I definitely think they can not make the best decisions for their kids, they are largely incapable of informed decisions because they're so poorly informed..
Covid wasn't even real to these simps until now "its not going away". Either way , transmission is hindered by basic mask usage. Id like to know if these same people suddenly find seat belts an affront to their "freedumb" . How about smoke alarms ? Smallpox vaccines ? Polio isn't a thing anymore , know why ?
Abbot wants everybody else to know what being incapacitated means. Child:" I have covid", Abbott: "Big Deal!! , At Least you can still walk into the hospital..!! ".
Moderator Musings ~ can I point out that BTC interviews truly interesting politicians. Not only does he share local government officials to the nation but internationally. These are people who may not figure in our daily lives but as ‘we the people’ we have the power of the vote. For him to spotlight various government leaders either in their constituency or state is useful for all of us when it comes to deciding how to use our vote in all of the elections.
Thank you @Brian Tyler Cohen.
I’d recommend the The Vaccine War on FRONTLINE from PBS. It was very educational and well reported. It is a good place to start. Vetted and peer reviewed sources are always a good start.
I love frontline think I check it out after this vid thnx
@@ryanricks3002 i have leaned on this source and PBS and NPR for an excellent source to begin information. Emotionally mature in delivery, and excellent interviews with individuals in the thick of things.
@@justanamerican9450 yes I agree that’s what drew me to them last yr during lockdown was there no nonsense bs atmosphere and interviews on both sides so it’s not just partisan hit jobs even tho people complain cuz they don’t like the truth of trump out there they hate the Russia useful idiots one lol 😂
@@ryanricks3002 correct. Its always good to take note on who won’t comment or take time to be interviewed. Not a statement of perfection in behalf of Frontline , but Frontline gets it “mostly correct” 🖖🏼
Brian, PLEASE STRAIGHTEN YOUR TIE ! 😄
Great interview. 👍
This makes me very proud to be a liberal and Democrat.
Allways loved San Antonio, beautiful city. I feel sorry for all of You bright responsible Texans.
GET GREG ABBOTT OUT FROM OFFICE. VOTE!!! Abbott is bad for Texas
I'm glad to see you out there reporting Brian
Good man, really cares about his constituents.
Texas 2028
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
I can’t believe how much he is lying now it’s all how much money he can put in his pocket
Agreed it's all about money greed and themselves vote him out
follow the money! The trail will always lead to the truth!
What kind of man is that Governor who would let children die for his own political agenda? Is he really human at all?
“You gonna pick on a guy while he’s trying to save a bunch of kids?!” Sounds familiar 🤔
Scene from Spider-Man
Again. Thank you for bringing this goodness and the safety of all ppl count. 🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿💞😇🕊 God bless us all and keep everyone safe, alive and healthy.
I would of loved to meet you Brian 💙
How can someone, like a governor, be QUALIFIED to give out medical advice? Isn’t that practicing medicine without a license?
These antimask and antivaxer politicians need to be fined and jailed for malpractice.
Im from San Antonio and it is on pace to be one of America's fastest growing cities, currently 7th most populated city, and everyone here is friendly and awesome, and this place is mostly a democratic and independent place by the way with economic growth as well and a big military presence. You should stop by and check out the holiday here called "Fiesta" and "An old night in San Antonio"
San Antonio is absolutely on my agenda! I'd like to visit possibly around this time next year.
Keep up the great work Mayor. Thank you for your rational thinking and approach across the board.
RON!!!
GREAT JOURNALISM BRIAN, THENK YOU!!!
COVID's best ally in Texas is Governor Greg Abbott.
Great job Brian...keep us informed.
Abbot has to go!
This is a man with vision. He IS the way forward. Well done Mayor Nirenberg.
