Not, not rhetoric results. I've been in office for eight months. In those eight months, we've accomplished a great deal. I talked about building that wall and how Texas had to take over the duties [of building the border wall], especially during the Biden administration when we literally spent billions of Texas taxpayer dollars doing the work of the federal government. Well, when President Trump came into office, they had that great big beautiful bill, and what they had in that bill is $11 billion to reimburse U.S. because President Trump realized Texas should not have had to do that.
