Lots of cool stuff coming up in the fall.

Get your pastor on a pastor's briefing. Go check out some of the curriculum from biblical citizenship to

the American Story Books. We got two down. Third one's on the way. I'm not even going to get us started

there. There'll probably be like, you know, volume 42 by the time we're done. But lots of good stuff available. Go check it out, wallbuilders.com. And speaking of the website, there's some really good material in there that is going to touch on what we're going to touch on what we're going to touch on today. So David Tim, you guys remember yesterday we were talking about the Democrat cowards running,

you know, tail between their legs, hiding, leaving the state literally to hide so the business could

not be conducted in the Texas Capitol. And I mentioned, or I think David, you mentioned, not the

first time. Certainly they'd done it before. And I mentioned, yeah, all the way back to 1870 when they

were trying to stop the essentially what we would think of as the DPS of today, Department of Public Safety from being created in order to stop the KKK from lynching people. And, of course, the Democrats, you know, that's their muscle. So they didn't want to stop that from happening. And anyway, they did the same thing. Went off and hid, broke quorum, but didn't leave the state, didn't even leave the Capitol grounds. And the sergeant-at-arms tracked them down, arrested them, and, you know, made a quorum again. But actually left some of them in jail for three weeks while they finished the session. So we'll see what happens this time. But apparently that call's been made. But David, you said something about back then 1870 time frame. There would have

been black leaders of the Republican Party in the legislature. And we just don't think of that.

You know, that was, I remember that was what you got me so interested in this subject 20 years ago

because you had that hit card that was all those black legislators. I think it's South Carolina, that, you know, I had no idea that you had all these black Republicans serving in the state legislatures across the South.

Yeah, and kind of backing up to the story yesterday, President Trump has called out half a dozen states or so that have underperformed in redistricting.

Their redistricting does not represent how the state votes. And so Texas is one of those states that despite our strong

Republican majority, the congressional districting map is not anywhere close to that. And so he

called on them, you know, make it match a state. Why are you

sending so many extra Democrats out of a state that doesn't elect Democrats statewide? And I think, man,
