24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The news never stops.

Life goes on around town and around the world.

You need a talk show that keeps track of it,

a program with full opinions that's always open to your views.

That is this show.

Welcome to the Mark Davis show on 660-A-M, the answer.

And welcome to our number three.

On March day number four, it was March 3rd yesterday.

The day we had anticipated just forever.

And now we get to reset the anticipation button.

I'll spare you the Carly Simon this time.

And got 12 long weeks of corn and in packs

and just bludgeoning each other of MAGA maze

calling Chip Roy a backstabbing rhino,

whatever Chip chooses to say, back at maze.

Democrats have their share of runoffs as well,

over in 33 where Colin Allred said,

hey, I think I want to get back into Congress.

And Julie Johnson said, hey, I think I'm changing districts

in order to stay in Congress.

Runoff there as well to talk about all of these,

about what has happened and what is yet to transpire

over at the Quorum report.

It's our friend to editor Scott Braddock.

Welcome.

How much sleep are you running on?

Kind of fumes you've prayed on.

I probably went to sleep around the time you got up to do

your money show.

I'm getting a recap.

And at this time of the year, I run on caffeine, nicotine,

and adrenaline.

Well, it is a way of usable combination

as we take a look at it and then throw in the adrenaline

of stuff that we saw.

So let me just ask the broadest question possible,

because I don't think there were many.

But did anything that even remotely qualifies as a surprise?

Yes, the big surprise in my mind was

Nate Sheetz defeating agriculture commissioner Sid Miller.

It really an eye-popping headline, of course.

And there have been money candidate

who went up against Commissioner Miller previously

who lost, get this.

Commissioner Miller has never been a prolific fundraiser,

as you may know.

He started the year when we get our first round of campaign

to finance reports back in January for all the money spent.

And we're going to talk about probably a $100 million

runoff for US Senate.

You know how much money Commissioner Miller had raised

in the last six months of last year?

What?

$4,000.

So Nate Sheetz, but I thought too.

I guess because you did really think he had too, eh?

He's just never, well, he's just never had,

he has never had too, right?

And so Sheetz put up a good campaign.

They ran a professional campaign that was well-funded.

It's interesting to me that Governor Abbott

got a split decision on his statewide endorsements.

He had endorsed Sheetz, as you know.

And he had also endorsed Kelly Hancock,

the former state senator from North Texas,

who did not even make the runoff.

And this would be the other, I wouldn't say surprise.

But definitely big headline of the night

that's under the surface of the US Senate stuff

is former Senator Don Huffine's winning

the comptroller's nomination on the Republican side

with no runoff.

I didn't expect that.

But I wasn't too surprised because I

did have some sources selling me in the last 24 hours or so,

that it was a coin flip as to whether he was going

to be able to do it with no runoff

because of some of the polling that they were seeing

in the internals.

So let's cover a couple of those because it's,

because I share your thought, oh,

let's go to comptroller first with the existence

of Christie Craddick.

It's not like she's nothing.

People know her.

I mean, we're familiar with her.

And the inclusion that her Hancock and Huffines

made it kind of look like it had runoff written all over it.

But Huffines just came in so strong with,

I'm going to doge this and I'm going to do this.

And Hancock's name recognition.

I mean, and God bless Kelly.

I know who he is, don't know for a long time.

Outside DFW, nothing, just almost nothing.

So maybe I'm not as surprised there.

As far as Nate and Sid Miller, I, listen,

I'm the guy who walks around telling everybody,

don't ever underestimate how hard it is to beat an incumbent.

It is flat out hard to beat an incumbent.

You got to create a desire to fire them.

Paxton may be going about the business of doing that.

We'll talk about that in a minute.

Trying to.

What is it?

What did Sid Miller do that made him vulnerable?

Well, I think he drew the eye of Governor Abbott

in a few cases.

You might remember that Miller was the only office holder

to sign on to a lawsuit after the COVID restrictions

I can 21, a lawsuit against Governor Abbott.

Miller also spoke out against Governor Abbott.

You remember when Abbott ordered that all trucks coming in

to Texas from Mexico had to get increased inspection

and Miller had said, we don't need that.

And you're not finding any undocumented people that way.

He's been fighting with the governor.

And of course, the governor brings some heft to this.

I would say that one of the reasons that I think

that Huffines was successful and Sheets was successful

was because both of them brought a lot of their own money

to those races.

And so look, I think that the governor lost that one

and the comptroller's race largely because of that.

I also think that in some of these races

and most of his endorsements, the governor

ended up being pretty weak.

If a person had a lot of money like Nate Sheets did,

well, guess what?

He benefited from his own money

and recovering that with Abbott's endorsement.

But when the person didn't, it didn't work out.

It's funny.

I wonder about endorsements.

If there's anybody who does an endorsement,

the one thing they want more than anything else

is to ultimately not be wrong.

They obviously want their guy to win.

But being wrong can put a little bit of a stank on you

for five minutes, at least I don't really get

to Abbott or Trump have anything to worry about there.

I wonder if Abbott should have kind of seen this coming.

As soon as Nate came out of the box,

I remember the first time I talked to Nate,

I thought, this is a sharp young man.

And that doesn't always mean you're going to win.

They're a lot of sharp young men who get steamrolled.

But I thought, you and I are getting pretty old

if Nate Sheets is a young man.

I keep going.

Well, I'll play guilty on that.

And then, God bless Trump.

But I think sometimes he endorses people.

If he endorses 1,000 people,

in there somewhere will be somebody

who just recommended to him at the end of a business day

where the last person he talked to.

And I think that's what led to the Trump endorsement

of Sid Miller.

And as far as Abbott endorses in Kelly Hancock,

I think that they were ideological peas in a pod.

I don't know because Abbott had to know

that Kelly Hancock faced a real uphill climb to be comptroller.

And even though he had named him as acting comptroller.

I, well, one one technicality on that,

Abbott did not name him comptroller.

He was hired by comptroller Hager.

And then he was promoted to acting comptroller,

which is sort of a circuitous route to get that done.

And if you look at the tenure of Hancock, I would say.

And again, as you said, Hancock's a great guy.

He's somebody I know personally as well.

And I really enjoy him and I consider him a friend.

But at the same time, I think he might be considered

one of the most used people in Texas politics history

because he was appointed to that position

in that sort of interesting way.

And then Governor Abbott got a lot of mileage out of him.

Remember Hancock completely rewrote the law on some things,

including taking people of color

and women out of a historically utilized business program

and excluding certain businesses or excuse me,

certain schools from the school voucher program.

Both things that are way outside, as far as I can tell,

the authority of the comptroller.

But those things are done and now he's not going to be in the office.

So the governor really did benefit from that

and burnishing his own far right or mega credentials.

So the degree to which money,

listen, it's always good to have money,

better to have it than not have it.

But it's not like it guarantees you success.

Just finish talking to maize metal to new God bless.

I'm sorry, exhausted, which I give everybody special

dispensation to after a late night and a tough and a tough race over in North Texas

is going to sprout a brand new Republican Congressman.

It's just a matter of who it's going to be out of 32.

And with Paul Bondar and Ryan Binkley,

both with an enormous amount of money.

JCR bro not nearly as much money,

but a Trump and Abbott endorsement.

Darned if JCR row didn't come this close to winning that thing outright.

20 points ahead of his closest competitor.

Yeah, and that I think and I didn't follow that one as closely last night.

But I would say in knowing Jace as a candidate,

not knowing him as personally.

Remember he ran previously for state Senate in North Texas.

He did a lot of work and there are those who and I've talked a lot to candidates

over the years who run for this or they run for that.

They're not successful and some of their friends or supporters will simply say this.

Run again, because this is a big state.

If you're going to run for Congress, you're going to run statewide, whatever it is.

It sometimes takes a couple of cycles to really take hold in doing your work and pay off.

Okay, let's wrap up with a big enchilada.

That is the US Senate.

The Democrats know who their standard bearer will be.

I saw the poll a couple of months ago that showed Jasmine with a 12 point lead.

I wondered about that.

But then the pendulum swung another polling organization, another one,

then showed Tallerico with a 12 point lead.

I said, I guess those cancel each other out.

Then Emerson, I believe in the closing days, had Tallerico buy about five.

And that's what it went up be in Tallerico by about seven.

Jasmine's appeal is obvious in Democrat circle.

She's a national star, but Texas is just different.

She was, she was a huge supply of the black vote, a huge supply of the big city vote.

But ultimately it just wasn't enough for them.

I think the broader appeal of Tallerico, what do you think he won?

Well, I think he did, you know,

Yomans work in putting together a professional campaign and the Congresswoman Crockett tried

to lean on her national notoriety and didn't run as organized of the campaign.

I had thought it might be a little tighter on this.

I would have been surprised if the result had been one of them just, you know,

a complete blowout that, as you said, that that didn't happen.

The polling was all over the place.

As we know, in the year of our Lord 2026, these polls are never wrong.

And so, you know, as we go through this, we'll see what the Republicans end up doing

with Tallerico at now that he's going to be the nominee.

I'm more interested in the Republicans, of course, because, as you have said,

this is going to be a knockdown dragout fight between Paxton and Cornon.

And, you know, Cornon, in a conversation with me in San Antonio a couple of weeks ago,

it said, you know, Scott, we're going to get through this runoff.

We're going to get to the runoff.

And then we have to go through my nuclear.

I'm wondering what that's going to mean after all.

We just saw for the last time.

I gave us a hint yesterday and quite a study in contrast to Cornon, Cornon decided I am

not going to have a, I'm not going to come out and talk to supporters in a ballroom full

of cheering people, which is exactly what Paxton did.

And not that this defines anything with 83 days to go, but the optics were different.

There was Paxton, a ballroom surrounded by cheering supporters and Cornon in what looked

like an airport waiting lounge talking to reporters and talking about how I'm not going

to let this seat fall into the loathsome hands of Ken Paxton as the basic message.

I wonder how much more of a leash, true though it may be and accurate, though his charges

may be.

I wonder if there is a law of diminishing returns on the personal attacks.

Yeah, I wonder that too, especially in the Trump era, I do think that the lesson for Republicans

out of that for word special election that we've talked about before is that in my estimation

and watching this stuff for a long time as you have, it's not so much dependent on who

the Democratic nominee is now that we know that that's Tala Rico.

I think the fate of Republicans in Texas has a lot more to do with just how much Republicans

are at each other's throats and whether they can really come together after what's going

to be an especially nasty runoff.

And I heard this mark just a little bit gossip to pass along on some top Republican leadership.

They were talking about the idea in the last 48 hours as to whether Paxton being able

to maybe come up with a result on election day that would have been closer to 50%.

There were some top Republicans who were going to go to big John and say, okay, it's time

for you to drop out.

But now you see some of the Trump folks, including Chris Lasavita, who worked on President

Trump's last president for campaign, saying get ready, Ken Paxton, the direct quote,

the second wave is going to be a bitch.

So we'll see what this looks like.

I'll take the quote.

I'll take the quote with special dispensation because I just can't, and it's funny.

The way Kornin refers to his like, I think he literally at one point said, there's stuff

you don't know.

Like he has additional fresh material.

Like what kind of odd op-o research is that?

I think it's going to play right into Paxton's hands to a degree where he will say, look

at this guy coming at me for this stuff.

And it's because he doesn't want to talk about his record.

Let last things.

Scott Braddock here, Kornin report, check out everything, and here we, here's what it's

going to come down to.

There is no reason on God's earth necessarily to lose this seat to James Talleriko.

Unless there is such fractured Republican sentiment, such wounded feelings.

And I find myself triangulating and faking no matter how this goes, some people are going

to be hurt.

They're going to be wounded.

They're going to be mad.

If Paxton wins, will Kornin's people be able to dust themselves off, get over themselves

and vote for him, if Paxton wins, or if Kornin wins, Paxton's people, will they?

And I think the answer in a lot of cases is going to be no.

There will absolutely be people staying home.

For that reason, this is not going to be a good, healthy 10, 12 point win as it should

be.

It might be, I hope, closer and I hope it's not Beethoven close.

So I don't know.

Is that what we're going to be faced with on the morning of May 27th, guiding everybody

through November?

Well, I think what you're saying is exacerbated by the fact that there are two more months

of, you know, 12 more months of wheat for this, you know, and it's going to brag on.

But I will say this about, you know, op-op research on Paxton as someone who has covered

him since 2003.

There's always another scandal with Paxton to talk about.

So I know that there will be some additional stuff for coming.

Who knows what Kornin's going to bring up here?

We've got a long way to go in the sucker.

We do.

We do.

Scott, Brad at Korn report.

Thank you, man.

Appreciate it.

We'll be checking back.

Thank you, man.

Alrighty.

866, 666, 5759.

Really?

There's more.

I mean, there's all.

Okay.

Is there, have we had, have we had a, I don't think we keep a track of this or maybe I

do?

Has there been all new one, a different one in the last, because I remember Kornin

put out.

He had like a website.

It was like crying.

Like, what?

God, was it called Ken Stoppers?

I think it was.

I had to give him credit for being clever about that.

But then I asked him to that ever, it was like looking for people to rat on Ken.

Tell us more dreadful things that Ken Bexton has done.

And I asked him, that thing had been up for about a month.

I said, find any hot, fresh new material.

Well, I don't know.

I really feel like that's good.

And when I say backfire, I don't mean that like Paxton's going to win by 15 points

now.

I just think that there are people who have grown weary of this and they're only going

to grow weary, so if I were, you know, running the packs, running the, the Kornin campaign,

I mean, and listen, and do you want to throw a little bit of that in there?

I mean, if you got the material, use it, sure.

But it should be much, much, the, the, the Kornin message of, I am a Trump loyalist now.

You don't have to vote for Ken to get a Trump loyal senator.

He did an okay job of convincing some appreciable number of people to believe him about that.

Keep doing that rather than going down into the gutter.

That would be my thought.

That would be my advice.

924.

All right.

Let us roll into the world of news, Brian May, the voice of Queen little 39 from News of

the World covering the news of the world.

Pete Hegseth in a little statement this morning said that we are, we're not ramping down.

If the president Trump says four or five weeks, it's going to be an action back four or

five weeks.

An Iranian drone missile took out a part of the American CIA station in Riyadh, Saudi

Arabia.

Nobody was in there, but still.

So this, this, it's, it's, it's a war zone and we're keeping track of that and talking.

I'll be talking about a lot of those issues after I get America up to speed on Texas stuff,

doing the hue, hue it show this afternoon.

Check that out at three o'clock right here on 6.60 a.m.

The answer.

For now, they're right back to more of your calls.

So it's final home stretch for today.

We got tomorrow.

Lord knows we always have tomorrow.

Any surprises for you?

Any, what is, what's the result?

You like the most?

What's the result that bummed you out if there were any?

What are your thoughts about how we move forward?

May 26th.

The hook.

Is it May 26th yet?

And run off day.

It's, it's on the, not so near horizon.

It's going to, it's going to be fun.

Lots of red hot talk show action.

Mark Davis, 6.60 a.m.

The answer into the news when we go here is Mary Rose.

So let me take you behind the curtain.

One night at the Davis House, basically Lisa and me on the couch watching stuff.

Yeah.

It was festive.

It was festive.

People always ask me, Hey, you're going to this party.

That party I love parties.

I got nothing against parties.

I got stuff to do.

I needed to keep track of absolutely everything and then bleed out of various things online

about that.

And then ultimately I had to get the bed.

It's something like a timely hour because I had to get up and do this wonderful show.

Of course.

And then Hugh, Hugh at this afternoon, and again, sorry, start time on Hugh, Hugh at

his four o'clock.

You're on 6.60 a.m.

The answer.

I'd say here's a little cheat code.

I want to watch that thing on the Salem news channel and watch the spectacle.

2 p.m.

Hello, Texas.

So anyway, some watch in the corner and in the packs and in the Tolerico and the Kraken

and in the attorney general.

And I'm keeping track of all these things.

One of the most interesting story lines has been, and it's a wonderful storyline because

hey, thanks redistricting.

North Texas is going to get a brand new Republican congressman, it's just a matter of who's

going to be.

And that was going to come out of the busy Texas 32 primary once the domain of Pete Sessions,

more recently of Colin Allred who has escaped it to go run in 33.

He's in a runoff against current 32 and come at Julie Johnson.

That'll be interesting.

So I'm taking a look.

And the way I had assessed this because everybody always asked me, what do you think is going

to have?

And when I don't know, I'll tell you, I don't know.

But the way 32 struck me is there were some folks who had some stuff going for them.

Darryl Day had familiarity, just a good dude from the community.

He'd run for this thing before and had some name recognition and some money and you know,

it's the time for a new day.

That was that was clever.

And I love Darryl.

The big, the guys I didn't know but had a ton of money were Ryan Bankley and Paul Bondar.

So I talked to them and those conversations went, well, I figured, well, one of these

guys, maybe maybe that's the runoff, but then, but then I got to think about how about

our buddy, Jayce Yarbrough, who he'd been talking to for a while in the state Senate race.

And Jayce is the guy sitting there with the Abbott and Trump endorsement.

So it's, you know, how is he not going to make the runoff?

So I started to think maybe, maybe Bankley or Bondar and Jayce and I think that was

the last thing I told you yesterday.

What I did not have on my list of expectations is somebody, anybody winning this thing outright

with 50.0001.

And do you know who came this close?

I mean, if you went to bed early, you might have thought it happened.

In fact, I think, I think when I went to bed, I think Jayce might have had 50.7 and

then I woke up and it was like 49.8, wah, wah, wah, so it's runoff for him too.

But still, still, please, Jayce Yarbrough is with us.

How you doing, my friend?

Hey, Mark, we're doing great.

We're doing great.

Really appreciate you having me on this morning.

It's my pleasure.

So that was the story.

That was how my night went.

How did your night go?

Well, it was a great night, Mark.

I am so grateful to the folks of Texas 32 who rallied around us.

The result we had last night blew away even my expectations and it doesn't happen without

a lot of good people coming to fight with you.

And that's what we saw last night.

And I'm really proud of the points we put on the board.

So it's going to be interesting now.

It's you and Ryan Pinkley and both of you really love Trump.

So I'm trying to think, how is this going to go?

How is it going to go?

Because you guys now have 12 weeks.

He's got a ton of money.

But it's not like you don't.

I mean, I saw you, you got some advertising.

I saw a lot of it.

So how's the campaign war chest?

And obviously, let's remind everybody that you do indeed have, not just one, but both

endorsements people like to have from both Abbott and Trump.

Yes.

Well, we are proud to be the unapologetic America first fighter in this race and in a Trump

plus 17 district, which is what the two Texas 32 is.

I like those odds and I am very proud to be endorsed by the president.

I'm proud to be endorsed by the governor.

But I'm also proud.

And I think this is a huge difference maker to be endorsed and supported by a number

of great grassroots and local leaders throughout Texas 32.

And I think one of the things that allowed us to put up such a dominant performance was

those people.

They're fired up.

They're behind us.

The energy last night at our election night party was incredible.

It was a joy to be a part of it.

And I think that's what's going to be the difference in this race.

So I got to ask because it's kind of glass half full, glass half empty.

If you go into the JCR burrow party, all you want to do is make the run off.

I think I'm right.

Just let's make the run off.

And then that's a big reset.

And here we go.

As the evening unfolds, it's like here you are in the 40s.

Here you are at 50, maybe a little, a little beyond 50 with Ryan Benchley and Paul Bond

are a bit behind you, like 20 points behind you.

As great as the night was for a smidge there, 10-ish, did the room think good grief.

We're going to win this thing outright and then kind of when you didn't.

Well, I think obviously we would have welcomed the ability to avoid a run off, right?

I don't want to belittle that at all.

But it was, we were coming in, as you said, with the mindset that, hey, our goal here

is to make it because we had, I mean, the two gentlemen you mentioned, both spent a

couple million dollars a piece and much of that directed at negative ads against us.

And so we are, you know, we're thrilled to be where we are.

And again, I can't thank my supporters enough and the people that rally around us enough.

And we're already gearing up for, you know, execution plan for the run off.

And we're going to go take the fight to them again.

Execution might be the right word in this run off season.

I don't know how, I mean, I know how other races are going to go.

I'm trying to think about ads.

I think I've heard everything.

What do you mean the way you say negatively about you?

Yeah, there were some things that folks brought up from the distant, distant past trying

to suggest that I'm anything but full-throatedly pro life.

And I, I mean, my record speaks very clearly on how strongly I am on that issue.

And, you know, other things about, I think some people mentioned that some of the people

that were supporting me were from outside the state of Texas, some of the president's

national supporters, for example.

And so, you know, grateful for the folks on the ground who, you know, sort of told the truth

on that issue, on social media and other places, defending my very strong conservative pro-America

first record.

Yeah, I'm glad I asked because I'm listening, I'll be talking to Mr. Bingley at some point

again soon.

You both of you will be hanging out with me for the next 12 weeks.

So we're going to get to know each other a lot better.

If there's anything you ever said five years ago, there was somewhat less than 100 percent

awesome.

It's going to be, you're going to be beaten to death with it.

There's the chip.

Roy lesson.

It's the John Corning lesson is everybody just goes and finds anything they can find.

So just, you know, I guess get ready to fend that off every minute of every day.

What about, what about Mr. Bingley?

I saw his ads.

They were good ads.

It's like they drip with Trump's support.

It sounds like you can, you can like Trump.

You can, we all, we all like Trump.

But it sounds like yours might be a story.

Well, first of all, you have the endorsement, but let me put words in your mouth.

What's basically, what's the difference between Congressman and J.C.R.

Broin, Congressman Ryan Bingley, what's the difference?

Well, you know, I think one of the things I'm most proud of is that I do in, you know,

in my stump speech, obviously I praise the president for what he's done.

But I think my, my strength is in the actions I've taken in the past.

So whether it's standing up to rocasm in the military or refusing the COVID-19 vaccine

or starting a classical Christian school in the COVID era when so much radical ideology

was being exposed in our schools to the kind of legal work that I do.

My firm and I, as you know, Mark, we've talked about before, right?

I feed my family by suing the left and taking their money and I think that's a t-shirt.

I think that's a t-shirt.

And so I'm really proud of that.

And I think the president and his team have, I've seen that and they know they can trust

me to reliably advance and fight for his agenda in Congress.

And I think the people of Texas 32 see that as well, which is why we were able to come

in with such a, again, a dominant performance last night.

There we go.

There it was just a hair below 50.

That's why we have the runoff.

It will be J.C.

Arbrow and Ryan Binkley, both of whom will be fixtures around here till May 26th.

I've asked everybody this who's in a runoff.

Is there like a day of breather, do you tend to hit a pause button for a minute?

Or is it just cranked up to 11, peddled the metal right away?

Yeah.

Well, obviously you have to, you have to pace yourself, but you never, you never let

them in and go by without, without putting some lead on target.

So we're going to, you know, we're going to gauge appropriately and, you know, the next

couple of weeks are going to look different in a couple of weeks right before, uh, right

before runoff date, obviously.

So I've, I've got it to do list and I'm, I'm, I'm marching down and already, we'll be

talking.

I know that.

And thanks for your time, especially this morning.

I know it was a long night.

I appreciate you.

You betcha.

That is J.C.

Arbrow.

It came just this close to not even have it a runoff, but he does.

So, and here's the funny thing.

If you're at like 49 and your closest guy is 30 something, that's, that's the way that

went.

Uh, if you're Ryan Bankley, whom we will speak with soon, I'm sure, uh, you got to be

thinking was just, well, that means that 50 point, you know, let's say roughly 51% didn't

want J's, but they also wanted one of eight other guys.

And so I, you know, that, that's a, that's a thick plurality when you got 49, um, so

what, what, what Mr. Bankley's got to do is go, you know, go to the Paul Bondar people

and go to the Darryl Day people and everybody else who was running and say, Hey, uh, I'm,

I'm your guy.

Go get with me.

And let's see how this goes.

How, how many of those, but what J.C.'s got to do is how many people, uh, in the

Bankley and the Bondar and the Darryl Day and the various other candidates, how many

people had J.C.'s kind of their number two, you know, they're, they're, they're their

second choice.

So, I don't know, that's, that's where we are.

All right, a couple of things, uh, a railroad commission, uh, Beau French was in the, uh,

former tenant, GOP chair, Beau French, he made a runoff, uh, with the incumbent gym right

there.

So that's going to be interesting.

We're going toward May 26th.

And, uh, and, and, and boy, Tony, Tony Gonzalez, uh, survived that, uh, that, that messed

down there in, in 23 and he will be, uh, in a runoff.

And so as we work our way through just the various thing with, with, with, with, with

Brandon Herrera, uh, and Dan Crenshaw lost in his Houston area district with, uh, Steve

Toath.

So it's, um, so when people have asked what were the surprises, um, no shocks, but I,

the Crenshaw was more vulnerable than I thought he would be.

I'm not surprised that he lost, but that one was not even close, um, I'm not surprised

that Nate Sheets won.

I'm really not.

I mean, that was because Sid was just, God, but, yeah, oh, this is so weird.

I mean, you know, when everybody was down in Corpus on Friday for Trump, Sid's big deal

for like a day was, I found Nate, um, and taking the, the name off somebody's seat and

putting his own names.

We could sit closer to this like really is this what we've become.

So I don't know.

So you know what though, Sid has served this state really, really well for a really long

time.

And I have gratitude.

Uh, what I have for Nate is high expectations.

I was, well, I looked at, Rhonda Rhonda looked at me when he was on the very first time

and said, Hey, that's a, that's a sharp young man, which is almost as easy top song.

And now he's going to be a commissioner because hey, he's a Republican.

Alrighty, 9.50 exit ramp next.

To take us out, a little bobby blowback, a fact of life, he'll be there with a sun goes

down.

Body blowback would have been 82 today, asked the way back in 2014.

So we're going to let some of that magnificent bobby blowback library take us out for a

pretty certain Rhonda came earlier.

Mr. Matt is back.
