We're here in San Antonio, Texas today with Attorney General Greg Abbott, deciding announcement that you're going to be running for the next governor of State Effects. Welcome back to Texas GRP, both it's great to be back with you. Great to be back with you again. Great to be here in San Antonio to announce our running to be the next governor for the State of Texas. General, I've heard you say many, many times that you have the best job in the world right now. You go to work every day, you sue President Obama and you go back home. Why would you give that up to become the governor and move forward on that? Well as the Attorney General, I've literally been the general on the battlefield and fighting against an overwaching federal government, fighting to protect our liberty. I'm now seeking to move from being the general on the battlefield to being the commander in chief, leading that effort throughout the entire state, working with the next Attorney General, but also working with the state agencies. It could be health and unit services on pushing back against the Medicaid expansion, trying to be enforced from Washington DC. It could be working with Texas Commissioner Environmental Quality to push back against the overreaching EPA and trying to crush jobs instead of Texas. It could be continuing to lead our efforts to prevent the lawless coming of Texas that deny our Second Amendment rights like we were seeing in some other states. But I will continue that fight against the threats to our liberty from the commander-in-chief position as governor for the state of Texas. You've always been a big leader in foster reform and a positive business of our Texas is the best state to be. Most of the servers they get the best state in the nation for business and opportunity. With all the growth and interest in population, there's going to be a tremendous demand for infrastructure, highways, water. How do we proceed forward from a visibly responsible standpoint to meet the economic needs of the state? We have to do, except for our units. We have to put strict limits on what our spending will be. So we don't bust our budget. We can't go on the path with California or Illinois or Washington DC. Texas will only remain an economic leader. We have strict controls, but as I just said. Then when you do that, you set priorities. And as you noted, because of our growing population pace, everyone sees our declining water damage. Everyone sees our roads more congested. Everyone sees that we need to improve schools. What you do is say, these are not priorities. We fund these priorities first. And then, if we have to make cutbacks in other places, that's what we have to do. So we're able to achieve these challenges and address these challenges, not by spending more, but by white-sized in government and making cuts. General, I mentioned lawsuit reform earlier. Texas re-lossed reform citizens in the lawsuit years. And now, Congressman Lamar Smith has introduced federal legislation to try to reduce lawsuit use. How has that affected Texas in the business economy and what's going to be at the very end of all this? Well, if you go back to 15 or 40 years, Texas was known as the litigation capital of the world. And what's crushing this is here, companies were leaving instead of Texas taking the jobs with them because of reforms brought in part by citizens against laws accused by Texas for lawsuit reform. The Texas economy has changed. And now, businesses are re-locked in Texas because we have a more pro-business litigation environment. I think it's right for the United States economy for Lamar Smith to be taking up that reform to the United States of America. Texas has shown the way to create jobs. The Norse myth is showing the rest of the country what the Texas model looks like and what it can do for the entire country. Now, lastly, you were in Austin with the pro-life rally as Texas Paths Existoric Legislation. In Houston, we have a doctor that from what I've been told is even much more horrific than what happened in Northeast. Tell us what will happen here in Texas with that where we move forward. Will you be defending the new building this past? Well, the new building just passed. The protects more life than the standard Texas is now moving from the state house to the courthouse. And I won't be the leader in defending that bill. Just as I have been the leader in defending so many pieces of legislation that have been passed that protected life. I was the national leader for the states of protecting the partial birth abortion ban. The national leader for the states in protecting colonification. The state leader, of course, in protecting so many of the pro-life laws that have passed on state legislature for the past couple of years, I will be there once again in the courthouse defending this legislation. Texas has always been the energy capital of the United States and what's going on now with the leader for Shale. Where do you see us going in terms of regulation, getting the federal government off of our back so that we can actually maximize the return of Texas people on the energy benefit. You know, it's fine because Texas is and always has been the energy leader in this nation. I saw a story in last week where if Texas were in its own indifinination, we'd be like the eighth or ninth largest producer of oil in the entire world. We may produce more oil than many OK countries and we must remain energy independent. It's better for our economy, better for our security. We will not allow the federal government to trample on our independence whether it be energy independence or any other kind of independence. And therefore we will continue our fight against the overreaching policies of Obama's EPA. There have been rumors that Obama may try to crack down on cracking somewhere. We're not going to let that happen. I've had three victories in court against Obama's overreaching EPA in just the last 18 months or so. And we will be back in court again if we're forced to do Obama administration tries to crush jobs and Texas. Well General, this has been an exciting day for Texas. I want to congratulate you and thank you for the service that you've given to us today and what you're planning to do in the future. I hope we can sit down with you again as you go through the campaign and drill down deeper into some of these issues and talk about what in the future protects you. I'll report a visit with you and with all voters across the state of Texas. That will be crossing the state of Texas over the coming weeks and months for the next 16 months. That will be taken by case directly to the voters to explain to you why I represent the liberty that we all need in this state. To keep us fighting against Washington DC, keep us fighting for the values that made the United States of America and the state of Texas the best place to live and raise a family. I'm on your side. You can count on me.
