They dispatched trucks across the country to haul one load or 300 loads of pipe. I had one listener in Georgia. His company had an abandoned pipe, an abandoned line running all the way from Louisiana. through the Southeast Conference of Football, Basketball, and Ray Breyer's, the Pipyard Inc. was able to pull all that pipe out, pay them for that pipe, and then sell it to another user. Thepipyard Inc.com. 409788 pipe. It turns out, at least according to my urologist, that all that talk about taking testosterone is bad for your prostate. That was based on one study that's been debunked. But you know what? Don't trust me. Do your own reading. Cross reference. Learn more. Go to fixmylowtie.com. That's synergenics.

Go to claimdenied.com or email me and I'll connect you. Claimdenied.com. It's that time. Time, time. Lock and Load. The Michael Vary Show is on the air. Lock him. Get over here. He ain't over his smart. He's strong as bull. Can you write? No, no, sir. I'll only make your mark. Why? I just signed him over to you. If you're willing, I'd like you to make your mark.

Well, I think the auto pen is one of the great scandals of our time. The auto pen was our... We turned to the United States Senate primary, Republican primary. On the Democrat side, you have Jasmine Crockett, leading by seven percentage points. The San Antonio paper endorsed Jasmine Crockett, the Houston Chronicle endorsed James Talarico. You've got your white liberal. You've got your... Kamala Harris, chameleon, black woman. Neither one of them in public life very long. Both of them trying to be the new face of the Democrat Party after Beto O'Rourke. And we've got an interesting race on our hands there, but we have a very interesting race on our hands in the Republican primary. Longtime Republican Senator John Cornyn, incredibly unpopular with the base. incredibly unpopular with anybody who's been watching what's going on. A guy who said that Trump should get out of the race and not run for re-election so he wouldn't be our president right now. We wouldn't have had Trump 2.0. Guy who said his time for America to move past him. Guy who said, you can't build a border wall. It's ridiculous. And now the guy comes back and he'd have you believe that Donald Trump's his best friend and can't understand why Trump won't endorse him. So Ken passed him through his hat in the ring. And immediately John Cornyn was in trouble. And it looked like that was going to be it. But then he starts getting hit on the other flank. Nobody believed Wesley Hunt would jump in a race. He hasn't been a congressman that long. Why would he give it all up to run for the U.S. Senate? In a tough race against two well-funded individuals, and he's not run statewide before. And overnight, his name ID went through the roof. So much so that in almost every poll, it's Ken Paxton, Wesley Hunt, John Cornyn. At that rate, John Cornyn doesn't even make the runoff. Ooh, ooh, that's ugly. And what's worse? Hunt didn't get in the race all guns of blazing firing at Ken Paxton. And Ken Paxton didn't watch Hunt get into race and take a shot at him. They both said nothing but nice things to say to each other, which is we need an alternative to John Cornyn. And this is really upsetting John Gornan and the D.C. swamp. And so they pivoted. They turned their artillery from Ken Paxton to Hunt. And now they're spending a lot of money in Washington, D.C., Republican money, trying to keep you, the Texas voter, from choosing your own nominee for the United States Senate, going after a Republican whose credentials are not in question. It's dirty. Very dirty. Wesley Hunt is our guest. Welcome to program, sir. Sir, how are you? Fantastic. So you're a military man, Apache helicopter pilot. I've always heard the old line that the pilots will say, if you're taking flack, you're over the target. So if they're sighted in on you and firing on you, that means you're doing them damage. You must be over the target because you're taking flack from John Cornyn's cronies in Washington, D.C. You know, I almost certainly am, and you are exactly right. That means we are right over the target zone. I remember flying many a combat mission in Baghdad and stern up a hornets nest. I never forget, you know, flying through barrage and machine gun fire because we're trying to save the guys on the ground, and the guys were able to egress because they were firing at us, which is exactly what our job was. And I'm going to keep doing just that. That's what my experience taught me in combat, and I view this as being the exact same thing.

And when Yarn Corner first got this race, he called this a vanity project for me. He said, no one knows who Wesley Hunt is. He said, Wesley Hunt doesn't even have a chance. And now they're spending $3 million against me in Houston and in Dallas attacking the guy that never had a chance. That means we are right over the target zone, telling numerous lies about me, all over TV, all over streaming, all over my social media, and it puts a big old smile on my face because I will never back down and I will never quit. The latest hit on me is now all of a sudden I'm in favor of DEI. And what they can't understand is that when I was at West Point, I became an Apache pilot and I went to grad school and my family, my brother, my sister, I went to West Point in the 90s and early 2000s. There was no DEI. We worked hard. grit, determination. And now they are trying to come after me just because I'm black, all of a sudden I support DEI and I have been nothing but against the EI my entire life because I want to be judged by my grit, hard work, and determination. I want to be judged not by the color of my skin, but by the content of my character. But it shows you the character of John Cornyn because, you see, he's attacking a combat veteran, making this about DEI, making this about misvotes, but Lord knows I backed the president from day one. I was the first person in the country to endorse him, but this man never served in combat a day in his life. This is a guy that talks about his family's combat, but he didn't have the stones to do it. And so when I look at these people in the face, and I continue to take all the hits and take on all the attacks. I smile because I know that I'm doing this for the exact reason that you just said. Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt are going to be in this runoff. And the people of Texas are going to have a true conservative choice. That's why I've gotten this race. Because 75% of you, the primary voter, are sick of John Cornyn. That's exactly what we're going to do in the stretch here in the final three weeks. Wesley Hunt is our guest. I've been around this process for 30 years now. I've watched how the game is played. I understand the language, the rules, the MO. I understand it very well. I understand the things that are done to keep you, the public, the voting public, the consumer in some cases, the patient, the parent of children. There are games that are played and words that are used to do things and not leave any fingerprints. I think you know well enough to know. I do not. ever use the word racism lightly. I don't accuse very many people of being racist. I hate the term. I think it's overused. I think it clouds the discussion. I think it keeps us from having conversations. But let me be very clear. For the John Cornyn campaign to say that Wesley Hunt is for DEI in the way they have, let me be very clear what they're doing. This is 1950 politics. In the worst, most cynical way. Hey, guys, I'm looking at the polls, and I'm in third place. I don't know if y'all realized. He's black. It is the most awful form of politics. If you like me, folks, hate, hate, hate you're so sick of the Jasmine Crockett, Sheila Jackson Lee.

cynical politics of calling anyone a racist white people need to apologize black people should be so sick of that you don't say this lightly But make no mistake. John Corning, you know, every year in Field and Stream, they'll tell you the story of a deer hunter who wounded a deer, got up close on him and wanted to pet him. He'll bring him home, and that deer will shred him. John Cornyn has been backed into a corner, and the polls show they can't win. He is desperate. When people are desperate, they start throwing haymakers. This is as cynical and nasty and filthy a thing as you will see. John Cornyn. should be ashamed of himself he should not only lose and not make the runoff as a result of this he should honestly be driven from public life this is this is saying the screaming the inward in a crowded theater i'm dead serious about this that's what this was this was very very very dirty Wesley Hunt coming up southern pride southern fried the michael Bari Weiss show Wesley Hunt welcome to the program Good morning, but thank you for having me, as always, sir. I said you don't know who Sam Cooke is. I know who Sam Cooke is. You heard you. I got a good father. I was going to say call your dad. He knows what Sam Cookees. You're too young to know all that. All right, so you made the point, and it's fair, it's accurate, that, and this is another thing. I'm going to step back from you for a minute, Wesley Hunt. This is another thing I want to say, folks, is when we get into the silly season, you know, Steve Toth the other night at an event with Eddie Gallagher at his campaign event, he said that there was a member of Congress who told him, Wesley, you might have heard this. I can't remember the phrase, but he said, so Tooth, welcome to the silly season, or I like to call it the upseason. and he said, what is the upseason? And he said, oh, it would have helped if I could remember it. You make it up or you, I'm going to have to improve on that one because I started telling the story and I couldn't remember. I'll find out what the rest of the story is. Anyway, so you made the point during the silly season. I want to make the point to folks during the silly season. A candidate is responsible for the things they say and do. You can't say, well, their campaign did it, because that's what candidates would do, try to put a little distance in there. If Wesley Hunt calls John Cornyn a cannibal, you better show me the bones that he picked out and spat out. And you can't say, well, that's the Wesley Hunt campaign. He's not doing that. So for John Cornyn to hide behind, well, you know, those guys in D.C., they really want to keep me there because they own me and they run the establishment, and they're trying to convince people in Texas to vote against your best interest. They are spending a lot of money to say nasty things about you. Why don't you take a moment? I don't want to promote what they say any more than they already are. But for things that really gall you that people need to know there's a story that you feel comfortable, I'm not going to read off their list. But the ones that you say, here's what they're doing, because I think it's important to realize what John Cornyn is up to, which is lying, cheat, and stealing, misrepresenting this. All he can do because he has no record.

Of course. Well, first, you know, right before the break, we talked about the DEI hate, which for me is just disgusting because I've never wanted to get or have anything based on the color of my skin. You understand that more than anybody else, brother. And that to me is just utterly disgusting. The other thing is they're saying that I voted for Barack Obama. I never voted for Barack Obama in the general election. I voted for John McCain that year actually in 2008, and then I participated in Operation Chaos. And yes, I voted for Hillary Clinton, but thousands of us did. I was not the only one. And then now they're saying that I voted for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, which is kind of impossible because he's participating in Operation Chaos that may, you're going for Hillary Clinton. They are saying a lot of things about the fact that, well, why have I been absent or why have I been fake Manga? That's the next thing. He is calling me fake MAGA, the true fake MAGA candidate, the guy that he is one of two incumbent senators that the president won't even endorse. It is John Cornyn and Susan Collins, and he endorsed against Bill Cassidy. This is the guy that's calling me, the guy that was a top surrogate for President Trump during his last presidential run, the guy that was the first person in the country to endorse President Trump. President Trump came to my wife's hometown in a small town in Makota, Iowa, and I was there to introduce him. The last time I saw John Cornyn was in Nevada, supporting another candidate, and I was flying with the president to do a rally in Nevada. I opened for President Trump, and John Cornyn was sitting in the front row watching me open for President Trump. And this is a guy that's going to call me fake maga. And I'm seeing, I'm getting a bunch of text messages. Wesley, hold on. All online, all this stuff. Hold on. Let me interrupt you. What was the look on John Cornyn's face when he had to watch you? I love stuff like that. He was sitting in the front row, and I was open for President Trump at a rally in Nevada, and he was there not even to support President Trump. He was there to support another candidate that was running for Senate. And I know that candidate because we were at West Point together, and he lived down the hall from me, Sam Brown, and I used to haze him. So John Katie Porter wasn't even in Nevada for President Trump. He was there for another reason and showed up to the rally. And this is the guy that's calling me fake manga. The look on his face, as you can probably imagine, Michael was absolutely priceless. And then now we fast forward this two years later, and this is why he's in third place. Dang. You know, I love moments like that. Oh, to vanquish your enemy. And watch them bow before you. Hey, unrelated to the campaign, I have a favor to ask you when we're done. Of course. I got a note last night, a young man named Isaac Schumate or Schumate, I don't know, S-H-U-M-A-T-E. I'll find out how to pronounce it. He is a senior at Splendora High School in northeast part of town. He is the first ever student accepted to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Your alma mater.

He already earned an associate's degree while in high school. He's a leader on the football field. They describe him as being a young man of grit, humility, and heart. And he will play college football, as you did. He's a football star at West Point. And, of course, hopes, as you did, to serve our country as an Army officer. But I would love for you to just call and spend 30 seconds congratulating the young man. I think you'd get a huge kick out of it. Please send me his information, and I'll be better than that. I will invite him to my academy dinner that we have every year. And then also, I will call him immediately. And God bless this young man. This is why I have hope in the future. This is why I do what we do, because this kid is a kind of kid that's going to save the soul of this great nation. And I'd be happy. I'd be happy to talk to this kid. Thank you, Michael, of course. What did you bench when you graduated high school? When I graduated high school, I graduated high school, this thing I benched 32 pounds. That was the exact weight. I mean, how many times for reps? One time, one time. One time, I could probably do one time, probably 365. What time? What do you think John Cornyn could do. What do you think John Cornyn could do?

No, I'm serious. Who was bench for us in New York? Was that Zohran Mamdani? Yeah, and I think he blew an o'ring with that. I'm serious. You're in line, brother. So can you hold with us for a moment? Of course I can't, yes, sir. Is there one that they say about you? I'll go about 40 seconds. Is there one that you say about, they say about you, that's beyond politics, that you go, man, I'll be honest with you, say what you want, but that's too far. You know, if you were to insult my brother, you were to insult my dad or you would insult my kids, is something like that? Is there something about you a record or something that you go? You went too far on now, and I'll let you hold on that. This is Coach Bobzellis, and you listen to the Michael Bari Weiss Show. Good night, Irene.

Your poor father right now is going, see that boy should have paid attention when I was listening to the radio.

The other Al Green, I know this. Hey, he's over, he's over, he's over Shazam and, oh yeah, Al Green, Al Green, yeah, yeah. Come on, come on now. I got a hold of Isaac Shoemate's dad, George, the kid who's going to West Point, and I told him what you said, that he's very fired up. That's very cool of you to say you would do that. Speaking of which. My friend and your fellow West Point graduate Alex Mueller, and we were talking about West Point and the experience and how it shaped her. And I've had a lot of conversations with you about how it shaped you. So I'm pretty proud for this kid. He's the first kid from Splendora to ever go to West Point. And I said to his dad, I said, hey, I'm talking to Wesley Hunt. He said, I know. You know who that is? Very much so. And I said, well, he's going to be his guest at the dinner. I don't know what the dinner was. It's a West Pointy kind of thing. And he knew what it was. So he's very excited. You have used your celebrity for good, Superman. Any young person who wants to give the life for this country, I have their back for sure, brothers. Thank you. So where do we go from here? How much money do you have in the bank? How much do you have to spend? What needs to happen for you? I mean, the goal, I know enough about these races to know that the goal is to eke. It's like driver's ed. You don't want to, you don't get an A plus and driver's ed. You want to eke a passing grade because it's past failed by one. So your goal, obviously you'd like to be in first place, but your goal is to make the runoff by one vote and leave John Cornyn in the dust. How do you do that? Because they're coming after. You are there. Yeah, we've been doing it. Which is unbelievable because it started off as a bloodshed between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn and now it's morphed to John Cornyn literally just attacking me all day every day and I'm here for it, brother. I love it. This is kind of who I am. I live for this kind of stuff. What people don't understand is that I kind of started this project about a year ago and so far, I mean, we've been able to raise quite a bit of money to this project over the course of the past, you know. Yeah, we've spent almost in the past year about $18 million to raise my name idea across statewide. And that's exactly why we're doing so well. As you know, brother, it's very difficult for the United States Congressman to run statewide because no one knows who you are. So we took nine months to wait to see what the president was going to do in this race. And when he stayed out of it, we realized that there was an opportunity. But in the meantime, We were raising up our profile and raising our name ID statewide. And so as the money comes in, brother, it goes out. I think all in, we're going to end up spending close to $20 million, and that should be enough. You see, it's one-fifth of what John Cornyn is going to spend in this primary. John Cornyn is going to spend $100 million in third place. He's going to spend a Powerball ticket. on this race, and it's going to be the most expensive third-place finish in the history of this country. Wesley Hunt, we've been friends for a long time, and I'm not one to quibble. It's not fair to you. I don't do it to anybody else, but that's not actually accurate. John Cornyn is not spending a dime. That is the D.C. establishment that is doing that. Every piece of it is from people who the voters of the state of Texas would hate. You know,

uh i'm not asking you to opine because you don't need to be splitting your but as you know i'm in for steve toth and and i'm not happy with Dan Crenshaw who i will remind folks not you that when i was to join him to to hang out backstage with jo rogan and i said can i bring my friend Wesley Hunt it was just before the election and he did not want me to bring you because in my opinion he didn't want you you to respond here i don't want you split in your audience but uh so just remain quiet but I said, I'm going to bring my friend Wesley Hunt. And I remember, what were we just talking about, Ramon? Ramon just flagged me on a clock. We were just, I just lost my turn of thought. Dan Crenshaw, Tooth. It was a reason I brought that. There was a point to that story. Oh, D.C. Insiders. No, that's not it. I actually just lost my point. Ramon flag me. The D.C. establishment. Oh, here we go. That is doing it. Every period of it is from people who, the voters of the state of Texas. Oh, yeah, I know what it was. Here's it. As I've said a number of times, if people could spend five minutes or even better 50 minutes, five zero minutes. with these people. You don't know how they're going to vote on everything, and people can put up a veneer. Bill Clinton can be extremely charming in person and sell you down the river. If people could be around Wesley Hunt, Ken Paxton, and then John Cornyn, you would realize that this is not a human being. This is what the, this is a guy from central casting. This is what the swamp established. You can love Wesley Hunt, you can hate Wesley Hunt, but you would. his politics or how he votes or his position on this, whatever, you'd love the guy as a human being. He's a real human. He's a father. He's a husband. He's a person, an authentic human being with a pulse, not an automaton. And that's what John Cornyn is. And that bothers me. It really bothers me. Anyway, back to it. So they're hitting you with everything they got. How do you get to the finish line? You know, our early voting starts a week from Monday. What do you do? What does that look like? Well, first of all, lots of prayer. And I do believe I might be maybe the most prayer-after candidate in this entire race. So I believe in Jesus, and I believe that he put me in this position and prepared me for the arrows that I'm going to take, prepared me a long time ago for fights just like this for the very soul of this nation. Secondly, if you haven't been paying attention, I have been all over Texas already, and I'm running a real campaign. And I'm going to continue to make my laps around Texas until election day. I've just been in Lubbock. I was in Amarillo, it's in the Panhandle, Texarkana. I'm going to be in Beaumont. I've been to college station twice. I'm going to be in San Antonio, Austin, Houston. This is just in Tomball, and then we're going to do it all over again, and I'm going to do it all over again, and I'm going to be ubiquitous. I'm going to be everywhere. You know, there's only one Holy Spirit, but I'm going to try my best to mimic that in the state of Texas.

That's how you win racist. You actually get in front of voters, you get in front of people, and you talk to people so they know exactly where you stand and shake as many hands as you can. That's exactly what I'm going to be doing for the last few weeks. They got a vaccine for being ubiquitous. Do you learn that at St. Johns? Huh? You forget he's got a pretty education. You are ridiculous. You forget. I remember seeing you get off of Trump one, and you were strutting along, and Jimmy Pappas called, and he said, You watch it, Wesley. And I said, yes. He goes, look at him, strutting like a peacock. I said Pappas. I will bust a guy for strutting like a peacock. He's on Trump one. He's the only guy walking right next to Donald Trump when everybody in the country wants to. If you were that guy, you'd be doing your equivalent of strutting like a peacock. Especially Jimmy Pappler. Oh, God. He struck for way less. Oh, you know what? That is extraordinarily well said. That is extraordinarily well said. Has there been a challenge to running statewide? I mean, as you know, my wife is Secretary of State. There's 254 counties. You don't know how big this darn state is, Texas Country Reporter style, until you start driving it, until you start seeing the little issues that matter to, as you said, Amarillo and then El Paso and then McAllen and then Loughlin and then Lufkin and then Beaumont and then Texarkana. Can you hang with us for a more? Sir Can. All right. Wesley Hunt is our guest coming up.

This is the Michael Bari Weiss Show. Congress, Wesley Hunt, is our guest. Wesley Hunt, if I remember correctly. One R. Wesley? Wesley? Yes, sir. Okay, I didn't know if I had you on for a second. So, you know, one of the great frustrations, and you're feeling it now more than I certainly am, is that when they're spending this kind of crazy money on you, It's not just that what they're saying is a bunch of made-up, nasty, filthy, untrue crap. It's that it's very hard to respond. It's like they're running around. It's guerrilla warfare, right? It's how little terror cells in, you were in Iraq. It's how these little guys one by one can go set off fires and create problems. A little IED over here. And it's impossible to put them all out. And so you're probably hearing, and this is what gets dangerous for your good, for your, I don't want to say mental health, but for your, your. Your mind is that you're hearing, hey, I'm hearing that this. And where do you hear that? Who's making this stuff up? But that's their job. They do it. Yeah. So let's address those, right? You've got a record. You've run on, you serve on. You're a United States congressman. I consider you my friend. Let's talk about who and what you are that you want people to know relative to what the swamp. John Cornyn has nothing to do with it. He had no clue. Relative to what the swamp is saying about you. You know, Michael, my dad's a retired lieutenant colonel, and he grew up in a segregated south. And my dad broke barriers for people like me and my brother and my sister to all go to West Point, to all serve this country. And again, do not be judged not by the color of my skimmer by the content of my character. When this guy hits me, I was saying that I'm a DEI guy. It really kind of bothers me more than you know because at the end of the day, I'd never wanted anything given to me. I am somebody that's willing to sacrifice and die for this great nation. And I don't hear what you look like, race, religion, color, creed. I don't care. I mean, brother, I'm your congressman, and it's a white majority district. And I won by over 25 points. And President Trump would have won by 20 points. As I'm traveling around Amarillo and Lubbock and El Paso and everywhere in Texas, they don't care about what I look like. And so what I see. John Cornyn attacking me on DEI type stuff, it just kind of makes me realize that they're willing to go that low in order just to get a couple of votes. And I think the people of Texas are going to see right through that. Also, if you look at some of the mailers that they're putting out, even about Ken Paxton's personal life. I'm not here to talk about Cam Tax's personal life. I'm going to let you know that John Katie Porter is swinging for the fences because he's actually in the gutter because he's not talking about his own record because he doesn't have a record to run on. His record represents more of the same. And the people here in Texas want something different. That's why he's attacking me and Ken and going into the way. And lastly, all of you fake Maga, again, I am the guy that is the Maga warrior and the first person in the country to endorse him. These are all lies.

I've never known you to stop short preach, brother. Go on ahead. I heard the music, brother. It's all you. I'm just sitting here. It's your show. Go. I got packed it on tomorrow. Go ahead. What do you want people to do? At the end of the day, I still want people to come out and support the best conservative candidate. who's a young America First Patriot that's going to be around for the next few generations. I am not a career politician. When John Cornyn first got elected to a judgeship, I was 11 months old. People are looking for the next generation, young 40-year-old guys in the vein of JD Vance and the vein of our Secretary of State and the vein of our secretarial war and the vein of everybody that President Trump is bringing to his tent to serve. after he is done. We need to nuke the filibuster to get his agenda across the finish line. We need to get rid the blue slip procedural issues that are stopping here from getting our judge, that are getting his judges kicked out that he has appointed. And we have to act in insane concert with what he was elected for. He won the general election. He won the popular vote. He won the electoral college vote. He won every single swing state. He won Texas by 15 points. This is Trump country. And we deserve a Trump candidate to serve us not just for the next six years, but 12 years. I also believe in term limits. I'm telling you, if I did two terms in the House, I'm only going to do two terms in the United States Senate. 12 years. It's long enough. I'm not going to be around for 24 of my little boys, three years old. When he starts going to high school, I want to go to football games and go be a father to him like my father was to me. These are the things that I believe in, and I don't care what they say about me on TV or online or on social media. This is the Wesley Hunt that I put forward and gave up my seat for the Great St of Texas to give you a true conservative option along with Ken Paxton. It's going to be me and Ken, and then you could choose your fighter, but I would much rather it be between me and Ken than even have John anywhere close to that runoff. I think most Texans... Feel the same. When I look at not one outlier poll, but when I look at them over a cross of polls, you've got basically about between 65 and 75% of Republicans. Forget the Democrats. Forget the independents. Between 65 and 75%, two thirds and three quarters of Texas Republicans voting for someone other than John Cornyn. With over two decades of service behind him, that is a repudiation of who and what he has. Go home, Papa.

Go play bingo. Go walk the dog, you know? Go tell people to get off your lawn. But this is it. I mean, we've had it with this. You know, Wesley Hunt is our guest. I was looking at something late last night. See if I can find it real quick. And it was the four people in the Senate who won't support the Save Act. And one of them was John Thune. And one of them was Mitch McConnell. What is he, 116 years old? These are four Republicans. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, John Thune, and. You know, and I know you know this. You've said it. But if John Cornyn goes back and gets six more years, if you think he's been bad before now. When he has six more years, that will be he'll die in office. He will never, you think he's bad now when he knew he had to come back before you one more time. He's going to be so off. He is going to be Liz Cheney holding hearings on Trump. It's going to be awful, just awful. And you know what, Wesley, you know what chaps my ass since we're on the subject? The one that really gets me is people have said to me, insiders, money guys, guys you know, have said to me, well, what scares me. is if we don't support John Cornyn and he doesn't win the nomination, then he goes back to D.C. with a vendetta against Trump, and he will make life hell for Trump for the last nine months. And why would you support a guy that you think that's where his heart is? I can tell you that if Paxson or Hunt didn't make the runoff, they would not then devote themselves to destroying Trump quite the opposite. Absolutely not. And again, President Trump was the first person to endorse me in my first two races. That's why I was the first person to endorse him. And for whatever reason, that did not happen, I can assure you I'm going to double down on the guy that helped to get me here, quite frankly, especially in my second race. He helped clear out a lot of the primary when he came out and endorsed me. And so at the end of the day, this is what America wants. See, it's not just about me, not just about you, brother. This is about what Texans want and what the country wants. That's why this is called... selfless service. This is why I work for you, not the other way around. So if there was a world where I did not end up there, you're still going to see my voting record being in lockstep with the desires of this president, which are the desires of the majority of this country. And that's why they put President Trump in office. And that's the problem with the Senate right now is because we have individuals that operate on their own behalf and not on behalf of the American people. And by the way, you mentioned those people. You mentioned Mitch McConnell and Thom Tillis. They're all leaving. They're all retiring. You know, Thom Tillis was actually doing better, pulling better than John Cornyn. He was in the 50s, and he still retired because he realized that this time was up. Really, Thom Tillis and John Cornyn, they're best friends, and everyone knows it. The only reason why he's not backing them now is because he is scared of the president and what he might do. But he's already done it because the president has not endorsed him, and he is one of two incumbents that he has not endorsed in this entire country. Wesley Hunt. little podcast is the podcast that could, the little engine that could. You know, when we started, it was just a simple rebroadcast of our show, and they would take it over and put it on this new podcast platform. I didn't think anything of it. Before long, we started hearing from people all over the country where we don't air on the radio in the town where they are. And I would say, well, how are you hearing us? Did you find us online?

He rips that pipe out of the ground all the way. And he goes off and sells that to somebody else who needs the pipe. It's a beautiful process.
