The American crisis continues to grow worse, and that crisis is born out of our broken politics, out of the broken two party political system. Donald Trump and the mag of movement are extreme, dangerous, dishonest, and utterly disgraceful. And yet that appalling movement has steam rolled over and over and over again the Chuck Schumer led National Democratic Party, who are effeckless, weak, hapless, and profoundly out of touch.
Now I want to show you some medicine for that, if you will, in the form of an announcement ad by Colonel Terry Urtz, an Air Force test pilot, a fight pilot and a veteran NASA astronaut and a Space Shuttle commander who has done the most American thing you can do. This morning. He threw his hat into the ring. Let's wash the.
Air from orbit Earth takes your breath away. It felt like seeing creation from God's point of view, something no human was meant to see. But amidst that beauty, danger is never far. You learn fast that chaos is lethal, So you adapt, You solve problems, and you lead because your lives depend on it. Down here, Trump's chaos must be stopped. The corruption is overwhelming. Our constitution is under attack, and MAGA wants corrupt Ken Paxton in the Senate, abusing
the power of his office. This crisis is real, but leadership is mia. We will wait attacking emergencies to solve problems. That's what I do. I was raised in a family with more Union cards than college degrees. At seventeen, I joined the Air Force and eventually became an F sixteen pilot. I flew forty five combat missions over Iraq, tested the world's fastest jets, and commanded the International Space Station. I've always lived by the Air Force's core value, service before self.
After every mission, we debrief, no excuses, just the truth. After the twenty twenty four election disaster, Washington Democratic leadership skipped the debrief while chaos spreads. They claimed to the same old bankrupt ideas that they and not voters, should pick our candidates and that we should run the same old, tired playbook again, hoping for a different outcome. This moment demands something different, honesty, courage, and a clean break from the past. I'll make it my mission to fight for
Texans every day. Texas farmer is crushed by Trump's insane tariffs, Texas workers buried with rising costs, Texas kids hit with education cuts, and Texas communities kicked off medicaid. I've rest my life for this country and I'll fight anyone trying to destroy it. I'm an American first, a Texan second, and a common sense Democrat third. It's time for new leadership. I'm Terry Urtz, I'm running for US Senate and I'm ready for my next mission.
Well that's refreshing, time for a change. And with this ad Terry Vertz has become the first Senate candidate in the twenty twenty six cycle to demand change in the Senate leadership, to be running both against the MAGA extremists, but also against the appeasers in Washington who have allowed the MAGA extremes the point of bayonet at The people of Los Angeles have filled the government with the most incompetent cabinet in American history and have no plan to
stop it. They always have a scheme to hold on to their power, but at the expense of the country and the American people. And so when it comes to Terry Vertz and he goes out there and starts making his case. What I want you to know is I'm proud to call my friend, and I promise you this Terry Vertz different than a lot of the Washington insiders. He's on your side. He's a remarkable man. He's looked
down on the Earth thousands of times. He saw the sunrise and the sunset across thousands of orbits, looking up into space and down seeing the mutuality of connection, seeing the beauty of this country. And he's talked to me about it up like a jewel. Talk to me about seeing what the Permian Basin looks like at night. In Texas, the great cities of that state, on the Gulf Coast, Houston, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, Terry Urtz is taking a stand
at a time of crisis. He's a good guy, He's an honest guy, and I hope you'll check him out. Stay tuned because in Texas, this guy Ken Paxson, who may be the single biggest nut in the whole country, is going to beat John Cornyon and be the MAGA nominee. And this guy, as bad as the US Senate is,
will take it to a whole next level. He is as corrupt as it gets, as dishonest as it gets, and Texans deserve better, maybe, just maybe to wind up with a straight talking, truth telling astronaut, and boy, wouldn't that be a refreshing change.
