How much do you think the early Texas primary calendar worked against you? And what would it have looked like if the race landed a little later?

Oh, yeah.

We would have – I mean, literally a day before the primary – one day before the primary, a lady calls me and, look, I didn't take any money.

And here's my saying on this is that if somebody says, are you going to take money from this PAC or this PAC, I'd say, well, what country does it represent? And if they told me the name of the country, I'd say – Hold on, hold on.

You know, I played dumb.

You know, I played dumb with them.

I'm like, does that fall anywhere between Beaumont and El Paso or the Red River and the Rio Grande? And they say, no.

How do you assess what Governor Abbott has actually done to Texas? And what did you see from the inside that the average Texan still doesn't see on the inside?

differently, then?

Oh, well, we have to realize and we have to call what it is what it is.

And we have a color revolution going on.

You talk, you know, General Flynn, he'll tell you a fifth generation warfare.

But it's beyond that.

It's a hybrid color revolution is taking place in this nation right now.

I've seen it in many countries downrange where this is insidious and onset.

ahead.

Mashallah tabarakallah, 10% Muslim! England, London, it is estimated 20%.

So you can look at a foreign terrorist organization or a transnational criminal organization, you can give them that moniker, you can, you can write a strongly worded letter, and that's good, that's a start, but the authorities come through the commander-in-chief of the state of Texas, and that's the governor, and that has to come directly from that office.

The attorney general, God bless him, he can't write those orders, and it has to come from that commander-in-chief.

So guys like me, that watched it happen, those lily pads, that's what we call them, those lily pads, Epic City, now gonna be called The Meadows.

It sounds a little bit like Laura Ingalls on, [chuckles] on, uh, Little House on the Prairie, right? They're changing the names, they're, they're pl- uh, they're conducting the same stuff they did on the border, which is a whack-a-mole, right? So we chase them down, and they move, and they change, and they morph.

But in the meantime, we've got 72% more mosques than...

We've got two that I know about, Sharia law courts.

I gotta, I gotta get involved here?"

What is Greg Abbott not doing that you will do better?

Hello.

Yes, sir.

Well, he's not producing anything that he says he's going to do over the last 11 years.

And for the citizens out there that really don't pay attention to security on the border, we'll get to that.

He's promised them, you know, decreasing taxes.

Now, you know, the tax code is written in a very Byzantine labyrinth code.

Your thoughts on that?

Now, you know, the tax code is written in a very Byzantine labyrinth code.

I've gone through with teams now, Texans that care, and they're out here talking to me in different avenues, different angles of it.

Your thoughts on that?

in the state of Texas that Abbott can't do? Uh, so and why does it have to be you?

Well, first of all I was asked by a group of people to, to explore the idea.

When I called General Flynn, when I called Allen West, when I called people that are serious in, in this business of security, which is really the baseline of it all for us, for me.

Uh, it's like, uh, Eisenhower coming and another Texan coming in and, and, uh, after World War II and leading us into the Cold War and really being, setting the conditions for Reagan's, uh...

By the way, Reagan is the first president I served under.

Um, I, I was asked, of course I prayed about it, the most dangerous prayer you can pray.

Lord, your will be done.

Tell me how David's gonna win.

Now, number one, what's the problem with Abbott, who's been there for, like, a half a century? And, and why do you think it's necessary to r- to announce, to, you know, step out of your life, all the good you've been doing, to say, "Hey, uh, I want to take this guy on and I think I can do a better job, and that better job needs to start now," sir?

I, I believe that completely, sir.

And you know, you have to excuse me, I'm on the, on the campaign trail, so a little raspy.

But understand this, (clears throat) the bottom line up front for me is that this nation is in the throes of a color revolution.

And we're, if y- if we haven't seen it, we need to, uh, as a watchman announce it.

That's what I do.

If I'm a forcing function in this state, then I'll be a forcing function.

... during those horrible years of President Trump in the wilderness when 12 to 15 to 20 million illegal alien invaders came across and a lot of, half, at least half of those or more through the great, your beloved state of Texas, sir.

You've announced, sir, I would say – charitably a long shot bid to be the governor of texas now number one what's the problem with abbott who's been there for like a half a century and and why do you think it's necessary to to announce to you know step out of your life all the good you've been doing to say hey uh i want to take this guy on and i think i can do a better job and that better job needs to start now sir

I believe that completely, sir.

And, you know, excuse me, I'm on the campaign trail, so a little raspy.

But understand this.

And if we haven't seen it, we need to, as a watchman, announce it.

That's what I do.

But why did Abbott and other senior Republican officials in state government, in the state legislature, why did they not use the powers that they have, which are substantial – to close the border during those horrible years of President Trump in the wilderness when 12 to 15 to 20 million illegal alien invaders came across, and at least half of those are more through your beloved
