You better run.

So listen, why are you doing this?

What are the two or three priorities as you see it in the state of Texas that Abbott can't do?

And why does it have to be you?

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

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

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

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

I was asked, of course, I prayed about it.

The most dangerous prayer you can pray.

Lord, your will be done.

Well, here I am.

Now you can't jump out of a plane and go back in as a paratrooper.

So we're on the ground, but we are making headway.

Abbott's ratings right now are at 30% favorability ratings.

University of Texas study.

So for me, we're going to bring them onto our battlefield, the tactic, if you will.

What can I do differently?

I will provide serious security for the state.

I will improve the Texas State Guard, a commensurate with at least, minimum, what Florida has right now, the State Guard.
