Hey, this is the Best Up Podcast. Today, we talk about data centers. We start there, because a lot of people still don't understand data centers. And quite honestly, I think the president was wrong the way he approached it yesterday. And he said, you just want to be broke, you want to be poor. No, no, Mr. President. A lot of people don't like data centers for a myriad of reasons. A lot of people don't understand the power they have. And that's what I want to talk to you about. Your power with data centers. It's beyond your understanding. I've never seen anything like it, but you have to understand it. So before you say no or yes to data centers, make sure you hear this monologue. Also, Texas, I am very concerned it's about to go blue.
That happens, everything changes. Where are the Republicans in Texas? We'll talk about that. Also, Mamdani Marts. Seeing through what they're trying to push with government-owned grocery stores, all of that and more on today's podcast. One of the biggest mistakes people make in politics is thinking that the election is the finish line and it isn't. It's the starting gun. The hard part comes afterward because winning an election doesn't actually automatically fix a culture. It doesn't protect your rights. It's what does that is people staying involved and engage, people who understand that freedom isn't a trophy you put on the shelf, it's a responsibility that you have to maintain. That's what I love about Patriot Mobile. Yes, they provide excellent wireless service on all three major networks, so you can keep your phone, keep your number, all the features you expect from a modern carrier. But what makes them different is they understand that the fight doesn't end on election day. As America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, they put their business behind the causes that defend faith, family and freedom and our God-given rights, supporting organizations that are doing that work day in and day out.

So on Sunday morning, on Fox, Jackie Hangrick was on. She had John Kennedy and she was asking John Kennedy about Texas. Kennedy doesn't bubble wrap things. He said, we in the Senate just don't have the money budgeted for Texas and we need some help from the president. Keyword there. What is the key word? Help? President?
No, it was budgeted. Budget. We don't have the money budgeted. Texas is 40 million people. It is the largest Republican state in the union. And the committee whose entire job is holding the Republican Senate seats says the money is there, but it isn't budgeted. So what's in the budget? Okay. The Senate Leadership Fund announced a record $500 million for this cycle. And so it is a record, but Texas isn't even on the list. MAGA Inc. is sitting on north of $400 million. Not a dollar of that has hit a Texas station. I don't know who's advising the president on this, but he's got to wake up. You've got to release money. Mr. President, release the MAGA money for Texas. They spent all kinds of money in the primaries. Republicans spent more than $120 million in Texas, and most of it aimed at the man who is now the nominee. So they spent all kinds of money going against him. So the money exists. They found it in March. They found it in May. They found it to run against him. But now we just, where did we put our checkbook? We can't find it, okay? Paxton had about $2 million in the bank at the end of June. Telrico has nearly 21 Last quarter, Telrico raised 31 million to Paxton's nine. Three straight public polls have shown the Democrat ahead. Emerson has it 47 to 46 In Texas, no Democrat. So you know, no Democrat has won a Senate race in Texas since 1988 And this one is running even while the party of Texas explains that Texas really isn't in the budget.
Now you can play this game and you can say, well, I don't believe the polls. And part of me says, I don't believe the polls. Part of me says, too many Texans have taken Texas being red for granite for too long. And they haven't paid attention to what's actually happening in this state. You cannot allow Texas to turn blue. You can't. Okay, so now the part that turns from not budgeted from a constraint into a decision. In June, the Supreme Court struck down the cap on how much a national party can spend in coordination with its own candidate. The NRSC read that ruling and closed its independent expenditure unit. They shut it down. It didn't need it anymore. Okay. Coordinated buys get the candidate's ad rate three to 13 times cheaper than an outside group pays for the same 30 seconds. That committee now can put unlimited money behind its own nominee direct at the best rate in this market legally this afternoon.
