🐾 Thank you Marc for having Beto on your show! Beto! I donated to your voter registration drive this morning! Thank You for caring about Texans! We are in a sad, sad situation 😢 Vote! Vote 💙 Blue!
Don't forget Patrick and Senator Brian Hughes who shoves the voter suppression and Choice laws through state House. He and Paxton have been known to show up in D.C. this year. Paxton and his state Congressional 'wife'(Ft. worth) attended J6.
Don't forget Patrick too. State Senator Brian Hughes is the delegated Voter Suppression lawyer shoving Jim Crow and Secretary of State (Houston overturn new law) Legislation. Texas a pioneer on rights like Choice Health laws and a supporter of Theological Project '25 and deregulation.
So glad to see you Beto. I was living in Texas when you ran against Ted Cruz. I voted for you, and I thought you had a good chance. Now, I am supporting Colin Allred, and praying a lot. I lived there during the Big Freeze when Cruz flew to Cancun while the rest of us were freezing to death. People froze to death under Greg Abbott’s watch. It was so shameful. Thank you for not giving up and for fighting the good fight. You are an inspiration to everyone.
Gregg Abbott was never going to let Beto win. Like when vote counting for Democrats were stopped at a certain time in FL and Texas when Trump/Russians truly stole our election for Trump.
Texas is so lucky to have Beto O’Rourke still fighting for the rights of the people in the state. Thank you Beto. Your character and belief in Texas sets you apart from others. Keep it up 💙🥰💙
I’m in Texas. I’m Gen X female professional with daughters. I’m so disgusted in the politics here. We are in scary times!!! Vote them out!! Vote Blue💙💙💙 our lives are literally dependent on it!!!
Join those of us volunteering to make a difference! I register Texas voters both with the League of Women Voters and Powered By People! We need as much help as we can get!
Beto got very close, with 48% of the vote. Gerrymandering and voter suppression have a real impact. Ken Paxton said if they had counted all the mail in ballots in 2020, TX would have gone for Biden. So, yeah, TX has made it harder to vote and be counted, so we have to try harder.
Beto ran for senator, president, and governor. Those take the entire state to vote for you. Bobo chooses her bright red district and only needs those local people to vote for her. If Beto chose a bright blue district in Texas he could easily win in the house of representatives. In fact, he did it before. He obviously didn’t want to be restrained to one district among hundreds. But getting the entire red state to vote for you is much much harder. Also, Beto wants reasonable gun regulation while Bobo wants everyone to carry an AR on their back and a handgun on their hip. In Texas that’s an existential problem. You can’t be reasonable about guns and win the state.
Thanks Beto O'Rourke for Your Continued Service and Fighting For Rights, Freedoms, Humanity, Liberties, Democracy, Texas, The Constitution and America 🗽 🇺🇲 🌠 💙 ⭐ ✨
OMG, same. I lived in rural East Texas during his Senate run in 2018, and I volunteered for his campaign. There were times when our safety was threatened while knocking doors in my deep red county, but I just believed in him SO much. I've since moved to El Paso, and being in a more open, liberal community helps, but I still can get so hopeless sometimes. Hearing him speak can still relieve that sense for a while.
We in Texas used to be able to vote at the grocery store. Within 6 years , im searching online for a voting location. Really cuts out voters of color. Shameful!
I live with gratitude in Oregon. My sister lives in Texas. The political rift couldn't be wider. It is hertbreaking bc I can't give her info she won't get otherwise, like the Project 2025 agenda.
@carolynsumners4915 for sure, they really keep gerrymandering and purging votes. It gets a lot of people down and lose hope of it becoming blue again. It can be done but it’s hard to get people to vote. Still trying!
My Texas high school was named in honor of Robert E. Lee-full blown White Supremacy complete with the Confederate flag. And my city did not even exist at the time of the Civil War.
If I remember correctly, voter turn out was less than 40%, TX gerrymander to hell and think a lot of folks freaked out when he said he’ll take your AR15 away from you.
We don't have electricity in Harris County one week still the governor the lutenante governor accusing our commissioner she did a fantastic job during covid with the former mayor turner and we have a new mayor Whitemier goid for nothing didn't do a damm thing so far.
Cleta and Lara goal to not have ANY early voting or polls on College campuses. She admits🎤😮 it at fundraisers 🎩that suppress the vote. Voting should be a nonpartisan issue.
Can't stress enough, this election isn't just about voting for the presidency. it's about electing every position on the ballot. From school boards to mayors to state and federal representation for democracy. Check beforehand where each person you vote for stands.💙
There are few influential texans that will hear this and the race is continually uphill. It is winnable but by no means easy. The fight for democracy is worth it.
Another stellar democrat that should be in "upper management" in one form or another. Senator, Governor, Vice President, you name it and Beto will deliver positive results for the American people.
Up and down the ballot! Also, Call your Congress person,Pelosi and Schumer's office and tell them! They need to hear the voters voices over the damn media! 💙
What we need is a federally-mandated voting rights act which specifies things like no-excuse mail-in voting, a dropbox per such-and-such population of an area, mandatory funding for any county/city/whatever with lines that exceed half an hour, etc. etc. This shit of voting suppression has to end. What kind of democracy tries to freeze people out because they're the "wrong kind" of people?
It would also be good to make election day a national holiday that mandates a minimum of 4 hours off for people like first responders, shift workers, etal, who would typically work on a holiday.
I'm from Lubbock Texas and we used to be a Democrat majority. Texas is NOT a nutjob state. It us large and diverse and full of smart people. Help Beto please!
Cruz bragged about tossing tens of thousands of mail in votes in Pennsylvania. He was also involved in Decertification of January 6.Hawley too. Told us on the Senate floor prior.
Went to a xhurch around Easter and there were jellybeans in a jar to guess number for a door prize. I explained in front of the crowd what that meant to oppressed. Think the frosting melted off the cake...silence.
To a foreigner this inequality caused by differences in state voting regulations is baffling. Voting should be simple, safe and similar all over the country. No?
Senate Regrubs kept stopping. Same with immigration laws. Now the House chamber is Red Republican. Congrats on Labor victory. Torrey got theirs this round. No fascism in Europe. Period.
What a great speaker...vote blue Texas 😀👍💪😍 💙💙🗳🗳🫂🫂🗳🗳💙💙 In every election..be there!! ..local,state,federal...this may truly end our democracy if we do not vote to keep it 💙💙💙🗳🗳🗳💙💙💙
I think Texas will be very central. Sadly there are Democrats in Texas, folks !! We meed to help however they can. People in Houston havent had power in 5 days !!! smh..Abbott belongs in prison !!
Thank you Marc and Beto 🙋🏻 I’m Ridin with Biden all the way , and I’m disgusted by our Dem. Leaders stepping away from Biden , they are causing confusion with the voters which will cause possible votes to go to trump ! People just need to remember we are voting for democracy 💙 or dictatorship ❤️ it’s that simple !! Vote 💙 to save our democracy !! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
I am totally inspired. Spent a lot of time on the Beto O’Rourke campaign for governor and was devastated by the outcome. Just signed up to volunteer through Powered By People. Thanks for doing this interview.
I am from England voting is so easy ,I live here I didn’t realize just how many obstacles are put in place so people can’t vote in Texas it boggles my mind
As a frustrated Texan, I now go and vote any time there’s something important to vote on, even though so many of us feel too frustrated and defeated. I know our corrupt politicians continue to try and make it harder, but that’s all the more reason to KEEP fighting! If MOST of us would show up, not even All (although that’d be great), we could cut out the rot and turn this state around! As Glenn Kirschner always says, “We need to show up in number too big to rig and too real to steal!” - TURN TEXAS BLUE!!! W00t!!!
Beto has been in service to Texans for years and years now. If Texans had any sense they would have elected him over and over to serve in the highest office possible! I hope he will keep helping us. We need it now more than ever. We were once a great, blue, state, and we can turn blue again.
I’m a 59 yo woman who lives in the city of Detroit (I’m blessed to) and after listening to this Beto and Mark interview it’s Sunday and Monday morning I’m going to sign up to be a pole watcher/helper! I’m fired up . I love the Biden-Harris ticket want them re-elected 😮and NO BULLY IS GOING TO STOP ME! Go Beto you rock!💙💙💙
Why is voting so hard in the US? In Australia it’s mandated (you can not vote but will get a small fine) and there’s never a place you can’t walk into vote less than a walk away from where you live and also voting via mail in is encouraged if you can’t make it on the day.

Two very honourable men !
🐾 Thank you Marc for having Beto on your show!
Beto! I donated to your voter registration drive this morning! Thank You for caring about Texans!
We are in a sad, sad situation 😢
Vote! Vote 💙 Blue!
Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, and Ken Paxton are the three most hated, black marks on Texas.
And in the whole country!
They are CRIMINALS
And the texas Supreme Court and the US 5th circuit appellate court.
Don't forget Patrick and Senator Brian Hughes who shoves the voter suppression and Choice laws through state House. He and Paxton have been known to show up in D.C. this year. Paxton and his state Congressional 'wife'(Ft. worth) attended J6.

For democracy? What a laugh.

I love the historical background Beto provides to help people better understand how we got to this place today! 1888- 2024!
He knows what he is talking about.
Agree! Know what project 2025 agenda is all about. VOTE BLUE to defeat the crazy lying maga. VOTE BLUE to save American democracy.
I agree. I live 80 miles from El Paso in New Mexico. I didn't know much about the rascist history until I heard this today.
The gerrymandering in Texas is REAL! WE JUST NEED TO GET OUT AND VOTE A BIG BLUE EVERYWHERE IN AMERICA!!!
ROE ROE ROE YOUR VOTE IN ROEVEMBER 2024!!!
We need to get Greg Abbott out of office!!!
@@robinsnest4221 go Beto run for Governor!
@@thel5254 that be great. I think he would be a great vp pick as well.
He's much worse than dĵt!! VOTE BLUE
Yes, get Abbott out and things will get better.
@@catberts6499No we need Greg Abbott to be governor foreever.
Lets get an Anti- Gerrymandering referendum on the ballot for fairer maps!
So glad to see you Beto. I was living in Texas when you ran against Ted Cruz. I voted for you, and I thought you had a good chance. Now, I am supporting Colin Allred, and praying a lot. I lived there during the Big Freeze when Cruz flew to Cancun while the rest of us were freezing to death. People froze to death under Greg Abbott’s watch. It was so shameful. Thank you for not giving up and for fighting the good fight. You are an inspiration to everyone.
Both out of town during Beryl while millions were without power. Biden couldn't GET help, no one to talk to???
@@jannichi6431 Yes, I had heard that and was so disgusted!
@@bonniemiller4041me to - unfortunately not shocked.
This Texan did to and is all in for Allred! 💙
@@ChristyMorris-rh7rq Yay!
I was so sad that Beto didnt win. Texas needs people like him.
The likely reason he didn't win last time was because Republicans blocked the mailing of millions of ballot requests in blue-leaning areas.
Gregg Abbott was never going to let Beto win. Like when vote counting for Democrats were stopped at a certain time in FL and Texas when Trump/Russians truly stole our election for Trump.
💯
Agreed, I was so upset. Beto would make a great Governor.
Texas need people like Beto? No. California, perhaps. But not Texas.
The racial discrimination makes me sick! This is shameful for our country.
I was unaware that racial discrimination still existed!
I am here in California and i have REGULARLY sent support to the Colin Allred campaign. Let's RETURN Texas to it's TRUE color... BLUE!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I am in Texas, missing Beto.
Thank you
No surprise that someone from the communist state of California would support one of the very rare communist from Texas.
Thank you that's so hopeful to try turning blue 💙🔵 Amen
It's possible yes
Texas is so lucky to have Beto O’Rourke still fighting for the rights of the people in the state.
Thank you Beto. Your character and belief in Texas sets you apart from others. Keep it up 💙🥰💙
Those lines is insane in a democratic country.
it's blatant corrupt, in your face, vote against this
Beto, run again for U.S. Senate. I donated to your campaign multiple times and don't even live in TX. Go Beto!
Me too! Senate or Governor or the state legislature (take over Ken Paxton's place.) It would be great if we turned Texas blue.
Unsure if he hasn't had enough and does great work now. Powered by People.
I donated money for his cause and YES, he would make an excellent Senator.
@conniemazas He came so close in 2018. It is the rural counties in Texas that made the difference.
Just donated to Colin Allred. Keeping it going
I’m in Texas. I’m Gen X female professional with daughters. I’m so disgusted in the politics here. We are in scary times!!! Vote them out!! Vote Blue💙💙💙 our lives are literally dependent on it!!!
🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸for Texas fighting spirit with Beto!🙏🙏
It is the GREED and POWER game that keeps Texas in chains
Join those of us volunteering to make a difference! I register Texas voters both with the League of Women Voters and Powered By People! We need as much help as we can get!
You hear Beto when says lays it down? Volunteer !
I understand my sister is moving out of TX and back to NM because of this.
I am glad Beto is still in it. I can't understand how people like bobo and B6 can get elected and Beto can't.
Beto got very close, with 48% of the vote.
Gerrymandering and voter suppression have a real impact.
Ken Paxton said if they had counted all the mail in ballots in 2020, TX would have gone for Biden. So, yeah, TX has made it harder to vote and be counted, so we have to try harder.

Also, Beto wants reasonable gun regulation while Bobo wants everyone to carry an AR on their back and a handgun on their hip.
In Texas that’s an existential problem. You can’t be reasonable about guns and win the state.
Judging by your posts you don't understand much of anything.
💙💙💙 I've had the pleasure of meeting BETO AND HAVE ADMIRED HIM MANY YEARS. 💙💙💙
Thanks Beto O'Rourke for Your Continued Service and Fighting For Rights, Freedoms, Humanity, Liberties, Democracy, Texas, The Constitution and America 🗽 🇺🇲 🌠 💙 ⭐ ✨
Oh Beto , you need to be seen and heard a lot more . 👏
He has a new ranch for a few reasons, I imagine.
Long lines are a form of VOTER SUPPRESSION!😤😤😤
Counting unsigned ballots is voter suppression!
We will need you in Texas, always! Every time I get discouraged, I listen to you and feel better and stronger!

We in Texas used to be able to vote at the grocery store. Within 6 years , im searching online for a voting location. Really cuts out voters of color. Shameful!
what is wrong Texas? Get Up, Stand Up, and vote maga OUT.
What a shameful history for Texas
Today, most every political evil probably has a Texas connection. Often an origination.
Texas today has origins and roots for most of the Republican agenda, formulas, and mandated Project '25.🥀❤️🔥
I live with gratitude in Oregon. My sister lives in Texas. The political rift couldn't be wider. It is hertbreaking bc I can't give her info she won't get otherwise, like the Project 2025 agenda.

How did this guy lose? We need him to get elected to something and get him ready for national office.
He’s already ready, he came within a gnat’s hair of defeating Ted Cruz and winning a Senate seat!
He lost to gerrymandering and the laws the Republicons have enacted to stay in office...PERIOD!!!
If I remember correctly, voter turn out was less than 40%, TX gerrymander to hell and think a lot of folks freaked out when he said he’ll take your AR15 away from you.
Many Texans prefer to not vote or prefer white supremacy and ignorance
His family is #1 today.
BTW pass the word, tyrants and Monarchs don't allow their population to be armed or wealthy.

Why is voting so hard in the US? In Australia it’s mandated (you can not vote but will get a small fine) and there’s never a place you can’t walk into vote less than a walk away from where you live and also voting via mail in is encouraged if you can’t make it on the day. In person Voting also happens on a Saturday when people usually have the day off. Everyone’s vote is counted and heard. Why do you make it so hard?
Because most people would never vote for the gop.
In Peru they will come( military or police ) get you and take you to vote ,even foreigners .
One word. REGRUBLICANS 🥀🟥
Smart fair voting procedures in Australia. 🎉
