Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

**Mark Krikorian** (0:17)
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:24)
I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job of building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

In Texas, there is some breaking news. You have John Cornyn who's been around for quite a while. John Cornyn has had some very, let's say, questionable votes in the last couple of years and primaring him is Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas. And he joins us right now. Ken, welcome to the program. It's a major announcement. People can support you at kenpaxton.com. Tell us why you are primaring the incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn from the state of Texas.

**Ken Paxton** (1:44)
First of all, thanks for having me on. It's nice that you get to sit in your seat. Usually, I'm sitting in your seat when you interview me. That's good. So, yeah, so I've been watching John Cornyn, obviously, very close to the situation in Texas. And it's been disappointing, not just to me, but to our primary voters. So two years ago, three years ago, he went on stage at the Republican convention, and for 30 straight minutes, he got booed. He had just worked to pass this restrictive gun legislation, worked with Joe Biden. Joe Biden was congratulating him. President Trump was criticizing it, saying he was right out.
And the people of Texas were furious that he limited our gun rights and that he inflicted damage to the Second Amendment, which then the ATF used to try to pass more regulations that I had to go sue on. So these are the types of things that have not endeared John Cornyn to the Republican voters of Texas. And it's really obvious that after 20, you said he's been there a while, he's working on 24 years in the Senate. When he finishes and he wants to be there 30, the people of Texas have had enough of 24

So talk more about what the case you are going to bring to the people of Texas. I know that a survey conducted by Tony Fabrizio found you winning by nearly 25 points. And Tony is the best. I mean, he is the gold standard. So it shows that Ken Paxton's chances of beating John Cornyn are quite good. But what do you have to say to some of the folks in Texas that have known, you know, Senator Cornyn for a while, they consider him a friend, they donate to his campaign, and they would say, Ken, you're just being a rabble rouser. You're causing a problem where it's not necessary. We shouldn't divide ourselves. We just should focus on Democrats. What is your response? Because I'm sure you're going to hear that quite a lot.

**Ken Paxton** (3:35)
So I actually already have. I've talked to several of these people and they've said, you know, we're supporting John because he's our friend. And I've asked them the question, why is John Cornyn running again for his fifth term? And the answer from them usually is, well, they paused and they're like, well, you know, we don't know. We don't actually even think he should run. We've told them five terms is too many, but he's our friend, so we're sticking with them and we're going to spend a lot of money to beat you. There is no good reason for him to run. And I don't know what it is. I haven't heard, what is he going to do different than what he's done in the past? And then how do we know he's going to be different? He doesn't have accomplishments that we're proud of.
We do know of things that he's done, including lots of spending in the Ukraine versus spending on our own border that we're not happy with. And Texas voters really care about immigration. They really care about the Second Amendment. And those are two things that he's fought us on and gone the other way. Those are problems for us.
