Summary
For decades, Texas has been the global icon of an American "red state." But as big tech floods into Texas, warning signs are appearing everywhere: Textbooks are rewriting the 2nd Amendment, while the trans agenda spreads and left-wing universities run wild. But if conservatives are going to have any hope going forward, they need to keep Texas red, and keep Texas free. In his speech at the Keep Texas Free Summit in Houston, Charlie explains why he is "all-in" on Texas and gives his blueprint for preventing Texas from becoming another California.
