Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 19, 2018
I have a message to deliver this morning, but after sitting here and listening through and enjoying the comments that were made, I wanted to at least make one comment about the Senator from Texas. In my real life, for a number of years, I was a builder and developer in South Texas. I know South Texas very well. I know the border well. That is why I have been down there so much and am so interested in, of course, the border wall, which we are going to have. But we have a wonderful friend and a person who has been a good friend. You would think he is dead, but he is not. He is very much alive, and he is back doing his full-time job. I want to say that the time I spent with him down there in Texas long before he was even in the position he is in today--he has been a great hero down there not just to the people in Texas but people all over the country.
