| We'll be right back. | |
| All of this because he refused $7.5 million to the office of the Travis County DA after Rosemary Lemberg was caught driving under the influence back in 2013. | |
| You think I'm not gonna pull over? | |
| No, I'm aware of who you are, ma'am. | |
| I went to a friend's house tonight. | |
| Okay. | |
| Had a cup of drink. | |
| I am not drunk. | |
| Governor Perry spoke to the crowd for five minutes. | |
| I'm here today because I believe in the rule of law. | |
| And I'm here today because I did the right thing. | |
| I'm going to enter this courthouse with my head held high, knowing the actions that I took were not only lawful and legal, but right. | |
| And if I had to do so, I would veto funding for the Public Integrity Unit again. | |
| You think, think any governor. | |
| Democrat or Republican would expect this important unit with jurisdiction over state officials be led by someone who lives up to the highest standards of conduct and personal integrity. | |
| And this issue is far bigger than me. | |
| It's about the rule of law. | |
| It's about the Constitution that allows not just a governor but every citizen to speak their mind free of political interference or legal intimidation. | |
| This indictment is nothing short of an attack on the constitutional powers of the office of governor. | |
| There are important fundamental issues at stake and I will not allow this attack on our system of government to stand. | |
| I'm gonna fight this injustice with every fiber of my being. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| And we will prevail. | |
| And we'll prevail because we're standing for the rule of law. | |
| all. | |
| Returning 10 minutes later to the crowd, Perry now faced a maximum penalty of 99 years in prison. | |
| As required by law, I reported to the county authorities a few minutes ago, and I want to take a moment to say thank you to the sheriff's deputies And for the great professionalism that they showed me just now. | |
| Let me be clear. | |
| It is our system of constitutional checks and balances that is being challenged here today. | |
| This prosecution would seek to erode the power of all Texas governors, Republican or Democrat, to veto legislation and funding that they deem inappropriate. | |
| It is a chilling restraint on the right of free speech. | |
| The actions that I took were lawful, they were legal, and they were proper. | |
| This indictment is fundamentally a political act that seeks to achieve at the courthouse | |
| what could not be achieved at the ballot box. | |
| But we don't resolve political disputes or policy differences by indictments. | |
| We don't criminalize political or policy disagreements. | |
| We will prevail. | |
| We will prevail. | |
| And we'll prevail because the rule of law will prevail. | |
| I'm I remain focused on the work of the people of this state, doing the job I was elected to do, and I will not be distracted by these baseless political charges. | |
| Thank you and God bless you. | |
| The Globalists have controlled the mainstream media for a long time, but now they're expanding, making the weaponization even more vicious and deceptive. | |
| All the major networks are state-run. | |
| The NFL has become a political weapon against the Second Amendment and pushes Obamacare. | |
| MSNBC tells us that our children belong to the state. | |
| We have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. | |
| It is more important than ever to realize that we are not the alternative media. | |
| We are the true media. | |
| The establishment dinosaur press is dying. | |
