So I would say this. I've done this for 12 years, and I love it. And I think it's time. I think holding on to office is too long. I think you lose some of your freshness. And I think it's time for a change. I think it's time for me to change. I think it's time for John Korn to change. I think that we have people coming up the ranks that could potentially win this.
And look, I can't control who wins it, but I think there will be some very good people running. And I have lots of hope that they've seen the model that we've set up and that they have a pretty good idea of how to follow that. And certainly I would be happy to give ideas of how to do that because I think we've done some amazing things.

And I want an aggressive attorney general from Texas because I think it's not only good for Texas, I think it's good for the whole country.

So I think it's pretty important right now to support president Trump. His agenda is something amazing. I mean, whether it's just tax cuts or whether it's his, what he's doing, even with tariffs, even with, you know, China reform, what's going on with these crazy judges that are out of control. Um, The agenda is one of the best I've ever seen, if not the best I've ever seen in my life.

So there's lots of stuff to support. And I think it's very true that John Cornyn has not been that guy. I know he is suddenly. He's gotten religion, and he won't have that religion until the election's over. But I will be there from the beginning and to the end because I actually believe this stuff. It's in my heart. It's in my soul.

Well, so I don't think he has much to respond to. He doesn't have a pass that he can go out and talk about in the Republican primary. He can talk about it in a general election because, you know, he's reached out to Democrats and moderates. But he doesn't have initiatives or things he's worked on that are good Republican issues. He

On the other hand, he can't really talk about the bad things he's done on guns and border and criticizing President Trump. So his campaign guarantee will be negative attacks on me. It won't work. I've been through this many times, but that is where he is going with his money. On the other hand, I will be out for the next 11 months. Our primary is March of next year, first Tuesday of March.

I have a lot of practice in talking to Republican voters. I will be out talking to Republican voters. I will be out raising money. And I can tell you, I will raise a lot of money. And I will get my message across about what it is that I want to do that is different than what he's done and how I will oppose some of the very things that he pushed so far.

John's not going to go rogue. He's going to be a good boy for the next year and a half. And then he'll go back to being what he is, which is a moderate to, you know, Somebody who is going to answer to D.C. as opposed to the citizens of Texas. In the end, it's the people of Texas that elect the senator from Texas. And we've elected a very good one, Senator Ted Cruz.

They have a right to their choice. And they do not want John Cornyn. And I think the next 11 months are going to prove that. And I think the polling already shows strongly, as a Republican senator, there is no way that he should be down as an incumbent that served four terms by 25 points. And that is not my only fault.
