There was an Eagle Pass.

One of the emergencies cited has been border security, right?

That's one of the excuses to do non-competitive bidding.

I think that's what's happening in Washington right now as well, by the way.

Yeah, and that's fair.

And look, I think most people recognize that politics as usual is broken.

Democrats bear plenty of blame when it comes to that sense amongst the electorate.

And we for too long have defended as Democrats the systems that are not defensible, systems where they're using our own.

I mean, what's happening in Texas is terrible.

Greg Abbott's using our own money against us with the system.

And that's why my proposals are clean slate, fresh start, zero-based budgeting, right?

How do you hide in a zero-based budgeting approach to government?

I mean, we're saying we're going to wipe the slate clean and let's build this budget that's teacher pay, small class sizes, school safety, special education, right?

That's it.

Right.

So we're proposing approaches that are not traditional democratic approaches to just good government.

And that's why to this day, I will I do have MAGA moms who will send me tips and advice.

information to try to help me in this race because they see everything is broken right now.

And in fact, that on Greg Abbott's side in the primary, he's got 10 opponents right now.

That's never happened before.
