stepchildren my favorite President real
0:39
quick is Thomas Jefferson but I also
0:42
have a lot of respect for Jack Jackson
0:44
he was the only president who closed the
0:46
20-year Charter for the national bank
0:49
and paid off the national debt he's the
0:51
only president who got us out of debt
0:53
I'm concerned about education I want to
0:55
see it back to to the county level where
0:57
it belongs because Thomas Jefferson were
1:00
talking about taking him out of the
1:01
school books the history books you know

1:05
Independence the feed
1:07
papers I'm also concerned about the land

grad that's going out in West Texas
1:12
where I live property and water rights
1:14
are being stolen I'm we're concerned
1:16
about the EXP escalating taxes taxing
1:19
people that is actually what we call
1:23
enslavement but uh I think my biggest
1:25
thing is I'm a constitutionalist at
1:27
heart it is not a living document it is
1:29
a limiting document that includes ladies
1:32
and gentlemen the Texas Constitution and
1:34
what we all forgot here who is the first
1:36
president of the United States his name
