I'm so grateful that you're here and that you're running against Dan Crenshaw. Just to be clear, I don't think Dan Crenshaw... is the worst person in the world or anything like that. I feel sorry for Dan Crenshaw. He's clearly a very troubled guy. But it just does seem like the Republican Party shouldn't have to have a Dan Crenshaw in it. And I think you're going to beat Dan Crenshaw. And I just want to say thank you for doing that.
I'm honored to be here with you. I really am. So I've been jealous of you because my wife loves you so much. Thanks.
So you're in the Texas House. You represent an area that overlaps with Crenshaw's district, obviously. You live there. It's one of the most conservative districts in Texas, I think it's fair to say.
Oh, yeah. Montgomery County is absolutely the reddest of red counties. Yes. Tarrant County's bigger, but it's purple. We are the biggest red county left in Texas. And 100% of my district is inside Congressional District 2.
So that would... I mean, it's probably the biggest by population red county in the United States.
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Once we lost Harris County to voter fraud. Yes.
So how does that, the biggest, I'm just kind of guessing, one of the biggest Republican counties in the United States get Dan Crenshaw as a member of Congress? Like, how does that happen?
So this is mea culpa. Is that how you say it?
Mea culpa, yeah. You're admitting fault.
In 2018, when Dan Crenshaw came around, it was kind of a man crush for me.
Yeah.
Yeah. Navy SEAL, war hero. Yeah. And I only knew one person. There were like eight people in that race. And there was only one person that was kind of emerging as the person that was going to win. And he was kind of a rhino. He was very weak. And this guy comes along that says, look, I'm going to upend the apple cart. I'm going to be a disruptive influence. I am going to absolutely stand against the swamp, or as Ted Cruz called it, the Washington cartel.
Yeah.
I'm going to stop it. I'm going to fight it. And so we got behind him and... Damn, I would have voted for him too if you said that. So... I encouraged our local tea party to mail into the district to spend money into the district and help them raise money to move mountains to get Dan Crenshaw elected. So I feel a sense of responsibility for this major screw up because no sooner did he get there than he became part of the problem.
Oh, he became a leader of the problem. And I have to say, what year was that? 2018. I'm sure he has official opinions on issues related to Texas or the United States, but it's also very obvious to me watching him carefully that his real interests, all his main interests are outside this country. It doesn't seem like his agenda really has anything to do with America.
It's self-interest more than anything. You see this revolving door. on the part of people in Congress that line themselves up for lobbying positions as soon as they leave Congress. And so in order to get those kind of cushy jobs, you've got to do the lobby's bidding upfront early on. He's a young guy, right? Yeah. And, um, He's not the kind of person that's going to be there for 20 or 30 years. He is the kind of person, though, that's going to line himself up for a cushy lobbying position once he gets out. And so you've got to go along. You cannot ruffle feathers. You can't go against leadership and you can't go against the lobby.
Well, not only does he not go against the lobby, I mean, his campaigns are the most, we pulled the numbers, the most recent one that I saw suggested that his two biggest donors are giving him money because of his foreign policy views. One is a foreign lobby, I think is his biggest donor, one of them, literally a foreign lobby. And the other is a hedge fund guy called Clifford Asness, who's You know, it's one of the sleazier people in American business. There's that. But also, it's not paying Dan Crenshaw for anything related to the United States. This only has to do with influencing his vote on questions pertaining to other countries. I mean, it's the opposite of America first.
