We worked with Brandon Creighton to make sure that he positioned 12.

It's different in Texas than it is in the United States in that if you're going to pass legislation at the federal level on ice cream, you can't put something on it that has to do with bicycles.

Right.

They're not germane.

In Texas, our legislation, the amendment has to be absolutely germane to the bill.

And so we worked with Senator Creighton quietly behind the scenes to make sure that when the bill came over from the Senate,

It would.

So if that bill had come over from the Senate with banning social transition of kids, they would have killed his bill.

They never would have let that bill onto the House floor because the the the rhino Republicans and the Democrats would have killed the bill in committee or they would have killed it in calendars and never would have made it to the House floor.

So the bill came over.

We and I was able to put the amendment on it.

It passed.

I honestly don't know.

Do people talk about that?

Uh-uh.

The hardest part of Austin, Texas, and I believe Washington, D.C.

is pretty much the same thing.

The very first time I stepped into the Texas house, it was about a month before I was sworn in.

And I'd never met any staffers, had never talked to anybody.

No one knew who I was.
