Coming up, I have Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. This is the guy who really runs the state in studio today.

We're going to do a special episode. I'm going to ask him about the Ken Paxson impeachment trial and acquittal.

Republican infighting in Texas and around the country. What states can do about the border crisis?

State efforts to block digital censorship, school choice.

It's going to be a very interesting show. Hey, if you're listening on Apple, Google, or Spotify,

I'd like to welcome for a special episode of the podcast, the Lieutenant Governor of Texas, Dan Patrick.

He was elected in 2014, reelected in 2018. You can follow him on social media at exits at Dan Patrick and his website, danpatrick.org.

Dan, great to have you and your friend. This is fun to have you in studio because we can talk side by across the way.

It's kind of funny. Are you a native Texan? Were you born in Texas?

I was born in Baltimore and came here 40 now four years ago. So I've been here. I'm a Texan when you've been here 44 years.

It's a long time. And once I got here, I truly made the decision that the rest of my life would be in Texas.

I was in the television business. I came here with the CBS affiliate as a sportscaster before the other Dan Patrick.

There's another one out there a little younger, but I've been a newscaster whether cast or sportscaster in my background was in that.

And when that ended in the mid 80s, I just decided that I wanted to stay here.

As you know, in the media business, you could end up taking a job anywhere in the country, but I decided to stay in Texas because there's no place.

And now more than ever, I say my speeches. Texas is the America that all America used to be and that's why a thousand people in date move here.

There's no place like Texas on one God's green earth.

I mean, this is, you know, I raised my daughter mostly in California before she went off to college.

And she was visiting San Diego recently and she goes and she's married to a Texan.

In fact, her husband's family has a ranch in the Abilene area. She goes, I blame Brandon and Debbie for bringing us to Texas.

She goes, what happened to the beach? What happened to the mountains?
