00:00And you're sitting at the RNC now. What do you think is the future of the Republican Party
00:06and this election going forward? Because as you said, it feels like after Saturday,
00:11everything in this election and really in the political landscape has changed.
00:16Correct. I think the future of our country, the future of our party is very bright. And we have
00:22to get back to the tenets of our constitution. We have to get back to the fact that this is not a
00:26democracy. This is a constitutional republic. And this is about ensuring the federal government
00:31does our job to keep our country safe without overreaching on other states. Keep in mind,
00:37every state has a governor, every state has a state legislature, they have a state senate,
00:42they have a state house. And why is that? So that everyone could have power over their local
00:48communities. It's very difficult to get to the federal level and to speak to a congressman like
00:53me. I represent almost a million people in Houston, Texas, but all politics are local. So
00:58when we return the power back to the states, we're actually returning the power back to the people.
01:02That's what President Trump is focused on. Congressman, I hope you enjoy the rest of the
01:07RNC. Thank you so much for joining me. God bless you. Thank you so much for having me on.
