Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:00:00] Ladies and gentlemen, there is no doubt about it. The minority vote is going more and more to the right every year as we continue moving forward in a positive way in this nation. Why are Hispanics leading the charge and why are minorities now becoming almost a majority and voting red every year? We talked to an amazing expert and on this episode, we dive into The Crude Truth on this awesome voting block. Stay tuned.
Narrator [00:00:28] In 1901, at Spindletop Hill near Beaumont, the future of Texas changed dramatically, as, like a fountain of fortune, thousands of barrels of oil burst from the earth towards the sky. Soon Detroit would be cranking out Model Ts by the millions, and America was on the move, thanks to the black gold being produced in Texas. Now, more than a century later, the vehicles are different, but nothing else has truly changed. Sure there may be many other alternative energy sources like wind and solar and electric, but let’s be honest, America depends on oil and entrepreneurs and if the USA is truly going to be independent, it has to know The Crude Truth.

Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:01:46] Well, hello again. And if you’re still watching after my intro today, I just cannot thank you enough. As the host of The Crude Truth, today we’re driving into something that is near and dear to my heart. And that is talking about the minority voting block here in this nation. The nation spoke about six months ago and we now have a new president. And record numbers of Hispanics, African-Americans. Asians and all other minority races out there came out in droves and voted for a president that wasn’t a Democrat for the first time. And I just wanted to get on today with someone that’s an expert, that knows what’s going on and what is truly going on because for everybody out there that knows me, I grew up that way. I’m somebody that’s been, you know, I was a pro Reagan fan when I was four, right? And it only continued. And that is what I knew. And as my father, as we all know, was an entrepreneur, that is, what he saw was the best thing. When he voted with his wallet and not necessarily what was bred into him growing up. So today I just wanna say thank you all so much and here we go and we dive in and I brought on a wonderful lady that grew up here in the great state of Texas that knows a thing or two about how this shift is going on, someone that is active in the community. Today my guest is Teresa Lusk. Teresa, how are you?
Teresa Lusk [00:03:14] Hey, I’m great. Thank you so much for having me on.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:03:17] Oh my gosh, it is an honor to have you on because you are taking what I just talked about head on and we talked about that in the pre-production meeting. That is not something that I do. As all my listeners out there know and viewers, I tread lightly with everybody that comes on the show. I enjoy having everybody on the shows, but the moment I had a chance to meet you, I was like, oh my gosh, I want to have you come on because you are. Doing the crude truth. You are telling the truth on what’s going on out there. And people want to know why and what’s going on with this shift. And I feel like it’s more the Republican base that’s asking the why and in a good way the how and how they can continue that trend while the Democrats are going, why are they not voting for us? We told them to. And so to everybody out there, Teresa, please, please give people a little bit about you and everything that you’re up to and qualify why I definitely asked you to.
Teresa Lusk [00:04:20] Well, thank you so much. It’s certainly so much fun to talk about. This is one of my favorite topics. First of all, I love the political arena. It’s not something that I just wanted to do. It just kind of evolved. I read my very first book was, I wanted to read a book on a powerful woman, and I ended up reading a book about Nancy Pelosi, but I didn’t know what the difference was between Democrat and Republican. And this was 22 years ago. Read her book and thought, this is interesting. And then George W. Bush comes along and I thought, I need to read that book. And I thought well, this was great. Then Sarah Palin comes around and I though, my gosh, I love politics. But it wasn’t until 2023 that I started my own show, The Teresa Lusk Show, and I really started to just kind of organically train myself, read, watch news. And then I really thought, you know what? If I want to be wise, I need see what is the left saying, meaning the Democrats, and what is right saying. Because media is a strong force. I love media, you love media. But we really have to understand what are they training us to think? So I thought, okay, I’m gonna pay attention to both sides. And I started to see how it affects the Latino community, the minority community in general, and how automatically our minority people, they just assume they should vote Democrat just because the media told you so. And they told you that Republicans are usually racist and they hate people and they hate immigration and they hate etc etc. So I started to really break that down and just go this is not so. And so it’s been a passion of mine ever since. I’m also a preacher. I’m a minister. I know that’s kind of surprising to a lot of people but I love the Lord and I love the Word and I’m a pastor in my own church. And so we have a lot of fun kind of watching. Okay, how do we blend these worlds? A lot of people say, you know, faith has no place in government but actually government. Absolutely must be submitted unto the will of God.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:06:16] Well, well, first of all, absolutely. I like, you know, because I like how just kind of to follow up on what you said there at the end. I mean, it says it right. And God, we trust. And at the the end of the day, the Constitution is based off of Christian beliefs, which I think is awesome. And you know the Constitution says you have a right to your own religion, which I also think is also, however, if you’re going to live in this country, you have to know that basically the constitution is based off of. But when Jesus talked about the Ten Commandments, basically in the Ten commandments back in Exodus or Genesis, wherever it was, I’m not a biblical scholar. I’m not a biblical scholar.
Teresa Lusk [00:06:52] Yeah, it’s Moses, yeah. It’s Moses right?
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:06:52] It’s Moses, right? And, um, so I love that, but also what I like is how you’re, you’re you’re already debunking all these lies, uh, about the Latin community and people that are voting for, for Donald Trump. I remember in 2016, watching the news and people were saying, well, let me tell you who’s voting for Donald and Trump’s they’re white, uneducated males and I, um I dove into that a little bit and I’m like, well what is uneducating? And to them, uneducated meant you didn’t go get a college degree. That’s what uneducate meant. And so I was like, okay, well, you know, CNN got two out of three wrong. One I’m not white. One, I am educated. Yes, I’m a man. But I’m voting for Donald Trump and nobody’s hoodwinked me or forced me to do this. This was on my own after a crazy hard fought 2016 primary run of, you know, from, I mean, come on here. He knocked out Jeb Bush. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz was the last one in it, and I was a Cruz supporter, you know. Uh, in 2016, I more voted against Hillary Clinton than I voted for Donald Trump. And I think a lot of America probably did the same. But that being said, you look at 2020 and President Trump had record number Hispanic and Latino votes in 2020 in the race that he lost, you know? And that’s what you’ve been doing is talking to people and you’re doing it in a way, and I was sharing with you, it’s like, you’re doin’ it in Spanish. You’re coming to them and sharing with them in their own language what good is going on rather than Universion and Telemundo. That are also part of that giant media force to the left. And they’re just catering to the same talking points that they’re always doing.
Teresa Lusk [00:08:45] That’s right. That’s Well, that’s exactly why I’m doing it. Because as I mentioned earlier, I was watching the media that is really run by the left, Telemundo Univision, telling the Latinos all the horrible things that Trump was doing, the horrible things, right? And so it really stirred me up with some righteous anger. And I thought, this is unrealistic that you’re treating us Latinos. Like if we don’t have the ability to think for ourselves, like we’re not smart enough to maybe do some research or learn. And so I started to listen, what are they saying to them? And that’s when I started to talk to more people who aren’t very political anyway. And I started say to them, listen, stop watching that stuff. If you’re going to watch it, watch something else as well, something that’s more conservative so that you can understand the narrative that they’re selling to the minority in Latinos, Hispanics, and by the way, everybody identifies, excuse me, differently. Some say, I’m a Latino, I’m Hispanic, I am Mexican, whatever, if you come from anything that speaks Spanish, great, excuse me, that’s just it. So you have to understand why are they saying that the Republicans and the conservatives are racist? In general, are there a lot more white people in that party? Sure, but it’s not because they’re racist. It’s because they believe in the government not keeping a ton of your money. You like keeping your money, right? I like keeping my money. You know, we believe in the government not having so much say so over your life. Always dictating what should be done. Look at your paychecks. I mean, look at when Biden was in, look at the costs of living, look at gas prices. And I thought, how are you not aware of that? Let experience speak for itself. Why can you see it with your own eyes through the experience, but you’re letting the media tell you different. It made no sense to me. So it lit up a righteous anger. And I thought, enough. I have got to start producing some media to help people understand, is this really what’s happening or is it just what you’re hearing or what you are being told to believe? And I see that even with the African American communities. They’re told, you need to be Democrat because they’re for the people of color. Are they? What are the results? Can you write five things down that they have done? You know, now, if we’re honest. If we’re really honest, both parties have their issues. Can we just be honest? I mean, that’s another thing, right? I don’t wanna pretend that we are under the perfect party. But I do wanna say, are we under the party that has been helping more people? But then the issue of immigration comes up. And that causes a lot of uproar. And now see the proof of your racism is right in there in your party.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:11:33] Yeah, no, I like how you just brought that up and that with immigration, it’s a soft spot for me. And I always tell people that. That is one thing I didn’t share with you because I’ve said that before. It’s like, hey, immigration is always going to be the soft spot. But you said voting with your wallet, that’s what my dad has been doing since the 80s. It was like, you know what, who’s actually benefiting me more. Every now and then lately, I’ve been getting these fun little interviews and they’re asking me, what do you think the economy is going to do? I go, well, I said, you can’t lie. There was a Trump bump in 2017. Everybody saw a 20 to 30% increase in their 401ks. The stock market was doing great. I don’t know if we’re going to have it again, but voting with your wallet. That’s what happened. That was factual. That happened. And you talk about the party that’s for you or against you. You know, we just had the inaugural, you know, it’s time that we’re doing this. We just had that joint, joint session speech and you had Democrats that walked out, you had the Democrats that disrupted, you people don’t, don’t remember are really not that they don’t remember. They don’t know history that the Democrats didn’t even show up to Abraham Lincoln’s union speech inauguration because he had already pledged to do something about the slavery in America. And that’s one thing that I think we could go down a rabbit hole, but we’re not going to do that because yes, both sides do have their problems. I think right now it’s just that we’re at such a horrific, a crazy spot in the United States that people are like, we got it, but Donald Trump said it best, he was like, what do you got to lose? And I think people are literally at that right now. Like, you know what? This didn’t work. This didn t work. What do we have to lose. Immigration is one that I find so interesting because in some ways, I like to say that I’m second generation, but again, Texas has been here for a lot longer. So I always love it when I hear people go, I’m sixth generation, I am seventh generation. It’s like, man, I’ve seventh or eighth generation because the only thing I agree with Eva Longoria on is that, guess what, the border did cross us. We didn’t cross the border. You know, and I always think about that in the back of my head because we have people for the last 200 years that are literally dying to get across the border to make a better life for themselves. America is truly the land of opportunity. My grandfather, my mom’s dad, he was an illegal immigrant. He came over illegally in the 1920s and for whatever reasons he did everything. It was a lot easier to get papers and become an actual citizen. Back in the thirties and it is even now today. And that’s really where I think both sides are not helping each other out. It’s the true immigration reform. Uh, you know, I do think it’s very interesting how overnight the border crossings have really cut out since president Trump took over.
Teresa Lusk [00:14:36] Well, of course. Yeah. So I think, so funny that you talk about this because as a Latina woman, I love my people, you know, regardless of where they come from, I love the Hispanic Latino community, whatever. But, you now, one of the things I noticed was that we haven’t had this type of illegal immigration except when Biden was in. Now, if you look at the presidential administrations. Let’s be honest. Most of them didn’t really do anything to enforce. So let’s just quit pretending that, that they were really into controlling nonsense. You know, we know Obama sent a lot of people back, but the media didn’t talk about that because they love their Democrat, African-American president, right? It was all about, you know, hey, he fits our identity. Let’s leave him alone. Then here comes president Biden and he just turns the other way and pretends that none of this is happening. Now, a lot people say, well, It is humane to keep them out. I believe that because I know people in top levels, homeland security people who actually work with ICE, et cetera, et cetera. And they will tell you the horrific stories. Horrific, that Telemundo and Univision are not telling you about, right? So that really gets me lit up. So they’re not talking about that. So here’s this president who allowed all this, I call it an invasion. We can agree to disagree on that one. It is an invasion, it is an invention. And a lot of it, the reason for that, the reason why I call it an invasion, is because all of these criminals are coming in. Now, is it illegal to come into the U.S. Illegally? Yes, so is speeding. Americans break the law every day. So we’re gonna talk about, you know, the logistics of the word, you now, illegal. Okay, we’re all law breakers. We are. Now, you, know, I am more compassionate because those are my people, but at the same time, I do believe in honoring the law. But why was there such a, a, an invasion allowed, right? Doesn’t that, and this is where I like to train people. Think for yourself, ask yourself the question. Why would they allow it to begin with? Um, I was driving down Stemmon’s freeway not too long ago. There was some activity going on. I promise you it was related to this Tren de Agua thing going on, okay. The, the, the gang, Tren De Agua, where, where president Trump is really trying to keep these people from this gang, Venezuelan gang to come in. And overtake our nation, because they’re already planting. It’s very, very strategic.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:17:01] Okay.
Teresa Lusk [00:17:02] You know, when we ask about illegal immigration, do I believe that the previous presidents really cared about it? No. They cared about keeping the economy well, so that’s why they didn’t enforce it. But now I believe it had to be enforced because of all the criminal activity and the criminals that were actually coming into the U.S. So now it seems very inhumane because now you have to cut it off and you have do it hard. So, hopefully, President Trump will work something out. I have my own ideas of how we can make this better, but I’m not president. So I’ll have to sit here and just kind of think about it.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:17:36] Holy cow, you know, you talk about the invasion and that’s what it was. I think part of it is the fact that we’re not having as many kids anymore. Nobody is, and that they need a voting block. There, I said it. And, but we’re gonna go down that route at home. But I’m glad you brought up the dangerous people that are coming across, because these dangerous people that are coming across are gonna hurt Americans that have already hurt other people in their journey across. That’s right. Two wrongs never make a right. So the fact that we’re allowing these people that come in that do something wrong to other people, then get here and do something to other, the Lake and Riley lady, that’s something that should have not happened. You talk about, I understand we’re all lawbreakers, we speed, and if you ask my mom, I have a heavy foot, okay. But we all do do something like that. However, there are things that are in place to stop things like that Lake and Raleigh deal from ever happening. And the fact that the Democrat party couldn’t even get behind that, not even say, Hey, you’re like, not even say we were wrong or just get behind it. That just shows where they’re at in that they are completely out of touch. And I’ve never seen a group that’s so out of touch. I feel like they were taking advantage of people for for a hundred years. And it started, well, we’re not at a hundred years. It started in the 1960s. And we’re going to leave that one alone because I’ll dive down a rabbit hole. But I’m just proud that my father thinks for himself. And that’s what an entrepreneur is. Somebody that thinks for themselves. And don’t get me wrong, we have thousands of smart people out there that work for other people. But when you start to think for yourself, you become, what is it? Self-aware. And that is what I think a lot of minorities and Hispanics are truly doing, is becoming self-aware that, you know what, even though we’re doing all these things or that the Democrats are providing all this, like they don’t care about us at all. They’re just throwing stuff at us like you would like a guy or girl that’s got a girl that they are a guy that they don’ care about, but they’re going to just want to keep them, keep them over there and just keep them
Teresa Lusk [00:19:57] Yeah, just enough. Yeah, absolutely. You know, I think the other issues with this too, is that they’re making America believe that Latinos are very liberal. And while there are some liberal Hispanics, I don’t know if you knew the statistics, but in this presidential administration, women voted for Kamala Harris more than the men. And there was a whole uproar. I actually went on a radio show talking about why Latino men chose not to vote for Kamale. And I said, But the problem is this, that… We are a very unified people. We have culture that strengthens us, etc., some like-minded, and so do most cultures. But I feel like Kamala was pushing a, or Vice President Kamala, was pushing a rhetoric that women were being held back and they weren’t able to do their thing. And the men rose up and began to do what men are supposed to do, protect. And they began to You’re not going to continue to push this rhetoric. It breaks up families, traditional families. It does that. She was in essence attacking the foundation of the Latino family because even if we have divorce in our families, et cetera, we are still a unified people and we see very much the need for a man to be the leader and that’s what they were coming against but they wouldn’t directly say it. See if they can make you think that you’re a woman and you’re being held back by men. And you’re just a chauvinistic pig. Well, therefore, you’re disqualified and you should be a Democrat. Whoa. I mean, that’s really what that is. Wow. And I thought, I am so thankful. And it wasn’t just Latino men, it was African-American men too. So the women voted, why? Because they’re being brainwashed in this season. Listen, I’m a woman, I’ve very independent, I’m go getter, I maw for women doing things. But there is a God given role. And I’m not saying that she’s beneath, but I’m saying he is protector. And he needs to do that. And in America, we need more men rising up to their God-given position so that women can just rest and do what they need to do in their own giftings.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:22:03] Wow. You know, um, I did not see that one because I remember in the 2016 election, it was, you know, uh, men told their wives who to vote for and that’s why Donald Trump won. And the way it was hidden. And I love your respect, by the way, I want to say that because, uh, uh just, just the way you were like Harris, you know and you said vice president, I always believe that too. It’s like, you knows it was president Biden when he was president and that just irks me. Also, when you get people that don’t say the part, it’s like I accepted that President Biden was president and so I do like your respect there. I want to talk about your show for a minute because you do your show in English and also you do things in Spanish and you’re out on the streets when you’re doing these things. What kind of response have you gotten on your show especially when you are doing it in Because I mean you you you speak fluent Spanish is that right?
Teresa Lusk [00:22:57] Well, I speak it, but I’m working on the show part of it. So actually I have more Spanish production coming up. We’re working on that. Actually, I’m very, very excited about that. I actually use the teleprompter with the script and everything to make sure that I’m speaking and I’m learning. And I’m always educating myself because I want to get it down because I really want people to know I’m not just speaking because I am thinking about it, I am speaking because. I’m and I am talking with people about this. So, you know. So we’re going to have fun doing that. And, you know, people are responding more in curiosity. Like, hmm, maybe this is I did have somebody challenge me the other day and they said, there you go. You voted for your Trump and you know whatever. And it was a Hispanic person. And I said, here’s the deal. Were the gas prices bad before Trump? Food, right? This is settled. You know, you cannot carry from one. Administration to the other and say it was this one’s fault because you want to be democrat, right? Let’s just come back and understand you have the ability to think. So the show is really to make people go, maybe, maybe I should at least do some research. Just do some research. You don’t even have to agree with me. I’m all about, I told you, I’m off for agreeing to disagree. We’re good. I want to go home and go to sleep anyway. But you can’t me out of my position because I do a lot of research you know.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:24:17] Man, you know, I like how you talked about just now, just the way things are going. It’s like, you, I asked people that during the last Trump presidency was like, all right, name me something bad that he’s done for the country. Okay, what deal did he do that was bad for the country? You know, I always think about like the Paris climate agreement deal that cost us millions of more, billions of tax dollars. That Asian deal that ended up not happening that he actually helped prevent that did happen. It’s, you He didn’t get us into what’s like what was something bad that he did and all they could say was well, he’s mean He’s this and in fact, I had a chance this past week to visit with a guy named Larry Nadler Nader Who is the co-founder of e and news and e entertainment entertainment news channel, right? He definitely said that you know, hey the Kardashians helped him build that company, but but no I’m joking on that But you know he knows Donald Trump right? They’re both from New York And he goes, he’s doing a great job. Do I agree with anything that he’s saying? Absolutely not. And it’s like, isn’t that what you’re supposed to do as a leader? Sometimes just get the job done. You got people that support you what you doing and no, it may not always be roses and daffodils, but you know what we’re headed in the right direction. And, um, I think that’s something that a lot of Hispanics truly can get behind is the bootstrap. This is not going to be easy, but we have to turn this around. And that’s what we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty, any of us at all. And I think that’s awesome.
Teresa Lusk [00:25:50] Well, let’s talk about the fear. Let’s talk about the fear that the Latinos are afraid to talk about. I mean, I know African-American people who are afraid to say, I mean I asked them a question. I said, we could talk about it. No, don’t you.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:26:01] Do you mention my name? We talked about that in the preview. It’s like, this is something that I’m right. I haven’t sat down and really talked to somebody about this kind of stuff. And I’m putting it out there today.
Teresa Lusk [00:26:11] I’m so proud of you.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:26:11] I love it. No, no, no. But no, there’s a quiet deal that you just don’t talk about.
Teresa Lusk [00:26:16] Well, a lot of people don’t talk about it, absolutely. For me, I’m like, face it, go ahead and be real. If you are going to stand for something, stand for it. You don’t have to be rude about it. If we became much more intellectual instead of emotional, we would be able to stand for our beliefs. Latinos are made to be racists themselves if they choose to vote for Trump. Come on, bring it right, talk about it.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:26:41] No, no, we’re not going to talk about the races and how minorities, we could go down that or against because they’ve made us try to be that way also, but keep going.
Teresa Lusk [00:26:51] No, I mean, so that’s what I want to address that, you know, we’re not Latinos. How can I be a racist to my own people just because I’m voting for a man who I don’t always agree with how he does things. But guess what? I don’t agree with, how almost everybody does something. This is the, we were talking about honor, vice president Harris, and I’m really big on that, trying to honor where honors do. I mean that is a God given directive that we are supposed to honor. So we work there, but I don’t agree with everything. However, I can still support a policy without agreeing with the person or their character. Let’s be honest, and this may offend some people, and I say this just out of comparison. You know, people say Trump is a criminal, et cetera. And I said, and Obama was a, President Obama was an eloquent liar. He just was eloquent in what he said. But because he was so cool, fresh looking, you know, he had the look, et People respected him more. Because appearance is a big deal. You can lie. So I think right now it’s important that our people, minority people, and they call him Brown now, they call them Latinx. I tell people, don’t label me Latinx, I am a Latina. You know why they say the X, right?
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:28:04] Not a clue.
Teresa Lusk [00:28:04] Because they can they can erase the sex part. They don’t want you to identify as male or female And you know who came up with this all these uh scholars from scholars from colleges and and this whole woke movement Okay, I did not know that that’s an offense to my i’m, sorry I don’t get offended very easily. But that one that’s a big deal. I’m not latinx. I am a latina I’m a female I bear children I i’m not a a pregnant person
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:28:33] You know what I mean? I’m feeling it, I’m kind of backing up.
Teresa Lusk [00:28:37] This is the attack though. This is the attack on our people. So that’s why I’m passionate about it because our people are going with, especially our younger generations, our TikTok generations, those who get the news from TikTok.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:28:52] I don’t even want to get into that. I had somebody that had said that their son wants to grow up and be a YouTube person. There’s a lot of that. And I’m like, wow. I’m, like, Wow. You know, and I understand it’s a source of income for people. I get it. Because it’s hard for me to tell a man what to do for a living. Like I can’t, I’m not going to criticize a man for how he makes a living, but it me away how lazy they really are getting. And not just one or the other, it’s just as a whole. And I mean, I’ll find myself doing the scroll thing every now and then also, and it’s like, holy cow. And, but I did not know that about the Latinx, that that was why they were doing that. And absolutely, they are trying to, I do think that the Hispanic community is a very proud family community. I know we’re not perfect. And God knows that I am not perfect, by any means. I’m not perfect by any means, but the family is strong. I mean, I work for a family oil and gas company. Everything that we’re doing is for the family. And when you can stay strong that way, things happen. And I want to bring this into light since we’re talking about family, that 50 years ago, even longer, you learned the trades that your family did, right? And you had this deal. You know, all the powerful families of America, the Rockefellers, once the Carnegie’s, I know they’re not as powerful and all that anymore, but all these families, they stayed together. The Kennedys, they stay together and look where they are. So that’s why I think again, that’s another rabbit hole, but why the family is so important because you have the family, you can’t break it because the family love is just like God’s love. And God is, you know, God is all. God is loving, caring, ruthless, merciless, merciful, all those things, and that’s what a family is. And as long as you have that family bond, it can’t be broken.
Teresa Lusk [00:30:59] Right.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:30:59] And that’s exactly what they’ve been trying to break for probably the last 40 years.
Teresa Lusk [00:31:05] Right. Well, even you, I think you mentioned something earlier about just people are having less children now. You know, God said, be fruitful and multiply. And he said, raise godly children now, now under under the new covenant, Jesus just to say he’s not merciless anymore. He’s merciful, right? He has to now because of Jesus. That’s his agreement with Jesus for us. But truly, I mean, if that’s the God ordained, you know, decree for us, But what’s happening is that the left is pushing climate change and climate. I’m not even going to take you there, but I’m just saying that because of the climate change and climate, all this, they push not having children anymore. Do you know how anti-God that is? Because those who are here on the earth, we are what? We’re made in God’s image. So everybody that’s, so if you’re on the Earth and there’s multiplication of people and families, we’re made on the image of God. People don’t understand the kind of hidden anti-Christian, anti-faith things that are stuck in a lot of this movement. You have to really break it down. This is a whole nother. 5, 10 episodes. Yes, that really is.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:32:08] I always think of climate change and they just want to kill my jobs in the morning.
Teresa Lusk [00:32:12] Well, that too. They’re trying to take your money, right? They took my job! They’re try to take you money. It’s true. They are.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:32:19] Oh my God.
Teresa Lusk [00:32:20] That really is dead.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:32:21] Okay, yeah, that’s a whole other rabbit hole.
Teresa Lusk [00:32:23] But you have to know the Bible to kind of see the handprint in it. And I don’t mean that in an offensive way, I mean like people. If you kind of look to see, okay, what was God’s plan? That we would bear fruit and multiply, that we multiply godly children. So why come against faith? Because then you can’t produce godly children. Then the earth can go on its own way and we can do whatever we want, accountable to nobody. Why do you think these woke people are anti-law enforcement? Yes, there have been some. People in law enforcement who has really made some bad choices and I will stand for that. But also, we’ve become very anti-authority. Well, authority keeps us in line. And so, it’s kind of just one of those things where you just go, wow, wow and wow, this is really happening.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:33:08] I am blown away by how you just were able to tie in climate change to families when I’ve this whole time I thought it like, you know, I always think about it in a way of like I said, you’re killing our jobs and you know climate change. I don’t know if it’s, I believe climate change
Teresa Lusk [00:33:24] Ask the Libra, they’ll tell you that. They’ll tell that they are not having children, the 30-ish-year-olds.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:33:29] The problem is liberals don’t want to talk to you unless they just want to sit there and point the finger. Because like you were saying, I’m not somebody that’s going to sit and yell at people. The other day I saw a great video of a big San Antonio Spurs fan. Tim Duncan’s the greatest power forward of all time. I said it, say it again, Tim Duncan right here in Dallas, as I said, the greatest power forward all time, people. But there’s a deal. Jordan’s looking at me. I’m a producer. Did you really just say that? Sorry, Jordan. Yes, I… But somebody got in his face and just jawed, jawed jawed. And it’s like, you know what? He let all his actual work, body of work show. He didn’t get flustered. And that’s what I think that sometimes that the liberals are doing. They’re getting in your face. They’re doing these things. We talked about it that I know that there are Republicans that are also doing that right now. And we got to stop the trend. Somebody has to, and I feel like that’s what the Trumpers doing in some ways right now, All these things that everybody else has been doing, we have to stop. Somebody has to be that. I’m gonna use the word sacrifice and I don’t mean it in those ways, but somebody has to stop the madness. Somebody has stop the spending in DC. Somebody has too. But all these things are that somebody has to be the person to just be the true adult in the room and let the body of work show for themselves.
Teresa Lusk [00:34:50] Absolutely. That’s going to be a process, too. I mean, let’s be honest. You know, we were talking about this, the executive orders. I mean that gets a little overwhelming, even if it’s good. It’s overwhelming because it causes unsettling. And as a leader and leaders, you know, this as a leader, you have to do things well because people have to feel secure or or it causes chaos whether we want to or not. Now, some things have to be confronted, you know, aggressively, assertively, because people aren’t going to stand for it. Going back to your comment about. Liberals being incapable of having a conversation. I actually completed a women’s school of campaign through UT Austin, out of all places, extremely liberal school. Okay. I made it. Listen, I deserve an award. I made through. I was one of the very few, there was maybe four conservatives and I was the only outspoken Imagine that, right? So, but you know, I sat at the table with liberal women and some men who said, you know, I’ve had conservatives. Talk to me this way and threaten me, et cetera. So I know what’s happening on both sides. I actually have a liberal friend. I know, imagine that. She and I, we have really real raw conversations. We never are going to change each other’s mind and we know that. But we’re able to talk about a lot of these things that are going on. So you’re right. I think that as conservatives, we really need to stop being, so we need to not raise our standard to the standard of nasty to each other. I don’t care how passionate you are about it. I go into a lot of political circles. Drives me crazy because it’s conservatives who are acting this way and it becomes very self-righteous, sanctimonious. Can we just be logical, intelligent, you know, knowing the Constitution, knowing these things instead of having to be emotional about everything?
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:36:33] Yeah, can we just be I think that’s it right there. Can we just logical? Can we just be logical? You know, Teresa, I cannot thank you enough for for everything. The conversation. Can you please tell people out there the name of your podcast, how they can find you and be able to have these conversations?
Teresa Lusk [00:36:53] Absolutely. They can go to the teresaluskshow.com and I’m on social media platforms, Teresa Lusk Show. I have a great time interviewing elected officials and community leaders and so much more. So we just have a good time there.
Rey “RT” Trevino III [00:37:04] Wow, okay, we’ll have to share. I’d definitely like to give you some people then, at least they’re media people and all that, maybe to add to your show there. Because what you’re doing again, I think is so important. You’re giving the crude truth. You are sharing it and you are taking it head on.
