Dan Crenshaw has lost his Republican primary to a state legislator named Steve Toth.

So Dan has been in Congress for seven years.

It kind of makes me feel old.

I remember the first time I met Dan.

By the way, I'm hoping we can get Dan on Bar Fight

Tonight, it's a little unclear.

Obviously, his travel schedule is a little busy and a little hectic right now.

But we're going to try to get Dan to come on Bar Fight tonight.

We're going to be debating the Iran war with Lib and get all the positions on the right covered.

In any case, I remember the first time I met Dan.

Charlie had invited Charlie Kirk had invited us to a student action summit years and years ago.

I think this was this was before he was in Congress.

It might have been after he won the the election, but before he actually entered Congress.

And, you know, at the time, I know now he's somewhat unpopular in the GOP, but at the time, everybody.

On the right, the whole conservative movement was really, really behind Dan Crenshaw.

And SNL made fun of him, and then the right smacked SNL, and he was actually very gracious to SNL about it.

In any case, seven years later, it's totally flipped.

What pushed Dan out of his seat?

Not so easy to nail it down.

The biggest political backer of Dan Crenshaw's opponent, and it was a late entry endorsement, but nevertheless a major one, Ted Cruz.
