The people that we elected to help, politicians like John Cornyn and Ken Paxton, are too corrupt to care about us and too weak to fight for us. I know Washington's broken, the system is rigged. But it doesn't have to be this way. In six years in Congress, I never took a dime of corporate PAC money. never traded a single stock, never had a hint. Because at heart, I'm still that undrafted kid fighting for what's right. I'm still that guy showering after work instead of before it. (01:24–01:28)
