But let’s learn from this, let’s improve the electricity grid we have here and let’s put people in positions of power who actually care for those that they represent and swear that they serve.

Meaning that if we had not deregulated, if we had instead connected to the rest of the national electricity grid, if we had required weatherization, investing more in people instead of profits, and if we allowed for some excess capacity…

In Ted Cruz, you have someone who actually tried to overthrow the government and overturn a lawfully, legitimately, democratically decided election.

It`s still really tough for a lot of people, unfortunately. You mentioned at the top of your show, we have more than 7 million Texans under a boil water notice right now in communities like San Antonio and Houston, Texas, the fourth…

I think we need to have a mandate to weatherize all power generation across Texas. We need to incentivize additional capacity for storms and natural disasters like these that because of climate change are only going to become more…

I think what you have is people who are in government who don`t believe in government at a time that we all need government to work. And in Ted Cruz, you have someone who actually tried to overthrow the government and overturn a lawfully…

I don`t see that from our state government. I do see it from local leaders.

We are nearing a failed state in Texas and it has nothing to do with God or natural disasters. It has everything to do with the leadership and those in positions of public trust who have failed us.

You have a state government that literally does not believe that climate change is taking place and is not protecting those who are most vulnerable.

We are nearing a failed state in Texas. And it has nothing to do with God or natural disasters. It has everything to do with the leadership and those in positions of public trust who have failed us.

Last thing, Anderson, you also have state leadership that doesn't believe in climate change.

No, there's been complete Republican control of the State of Texas for 20 years.

I think nuclear is part of the portfolio that gets us to a carbon neutral America as soon as we possibly can.

These are all decisions made by Greg Abbott, Rick Perry, their predecessors and other statewide elected Republicans.

Coming up next, a closer look at the people left in the cold and the officials who are supposed to be looking out for them and not spreading falsehoods about the problem, former Democratic presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Beto…

It`s worse than you are hearing from everything that I`ve learned from reaching out to the people that I`ve met across the 254 counties of Texas. Folks have gone days now without electricity or water at the homes.

If there`s no accountability, if there`s no justice for the lies that are being trafficked by those who are in positions of public trust, then you can bet that this will continue. We will lose lives, we will lose our way of life, and we…

The real problem was with coal, gas, and, to some degree, nuclear, frozen instruments and frozen supply lines.

Ted Cruz is guilty of trying to overturn a lawfully decided election, of helping to incite a violent insurrection that resulted in the deaths of five people, including a police officer and of pursuing sedition for his own political gain…

And so not only must Donald Trump face consequences, either resign or be impeached, and there must be a vote on impeachment.

This coup is rolling right now in real time, and it is not over.

A Biden victory averts Trump prematurely illegally claiming victory or trying to contest this in the courts or any number of other things he will do to retain his purchase in power.

The Texas voter has overcome all of that. And I think that bodes very well for election night tomorrow.

if these 38 electoral college votes go for the Democratic nominee for the first time since 1976, it is game over for Trump.

Greg Abbott, a couple of weeks ago, closed all the supplementary absentee ballot drop off locations and now they're trying to disqualify 127,000 votes cast in drive-through voting in Harris County.
