And good morning to you. Many of you will remember Dan Patrick as the crazy

sports guy on local Houston television. Remember him going to run Joel O'stein's television station. You remember before

that that he owned what was KPRC at the time that long before Clear Channel would buy it brought Rush Limbaugh to Houston,

something that will be, it's on anybody's all-time highlight reel. He went on to buy KSCV radio 700 AM which he was the

star of for many years. He ran for state Senate and won. He ran statewide to lead the

Senate as lieutenant governor, where he is today, and he's our guest, Dan

Patrick. Welcome to lieutenant governor.

Good morning captain.

I love it.

Let's start with the fact that for this will be the third election

presidential election that Donald Trump has run for president and it is the

third time that you are the chairman of his statewide campaign.

The last poll I saw had him up 80 to 9 over Nicky Haley. Why is that?

Because he connects, you know and one, you know, you know, you said something

Rush Limbaugh a moment ago, Michael, that made me think about this.

Well, we put Rush on the air.

He couldn't get on the air anywhere in the country.

We weren't one of the first stations in the country

to put him on in a big city back in 88.

It's because he said what people were thinking and

feeling and he connected with people. Donald Trump and I talked to him

yesterday morning at length about a number of things including Texas races.
