Speaker 1: The American crisis continues to grow worse, and that crisis
Speaker 1: is born out of our broken politics, out of the
Speaker 1: broken two party political system. Donald Trump and the mag
Speaker 1: of movement are extreme, dangerous, dishonest, and utterly disgraceful. And
Speaker 1: yet that appalling movement has steam rolled over and over
Speaker 1: and over again the Chuck Schumer led National Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: who are effeckless, weak, hapless, and profoundly out of touch.
Speaker 1: Now I want to show you some medicine for that,
Speaker 1: if you will, in the form of an announcement ad
Speaker 1: by Colonel Terry Urtz, an Air Force test pilot, a
Speaker 1: fight pilot and a veteran NASA astronaut and a Space
Speaker 1: Shuttle commander who has done the most American thing you
Speaker 1: can do. This morning. He threw his hat into the ring.
Speaker 1: Let's wash the.
Speaker 2: Air from orbit Earth takes your breath away. It felt
Speaker 2: like seeing creation from God's point of view, something no
Speaker 2: human was meant to see. But amidst that beauty, danger
Speaker 2: is never far. You learn fast that chaos is lethal,
Speaker 2: So you adapt, You solve problems, and you lead because
Speaker 2: your lives depend on it. Down here, Trump's chaos must
Speaker 2: be stopped. The corruption is overwhelming. Our constitution is under attack,
Speaker 2: and MAGA wants corrupt Ken Paxton in the Senate, abusing
Speaker 2: the power of his office. This crisis is real, but
Speaker 2: leadership is mia. We will wait attacking emergencies to solve problems.
Speaker 2: That's what I do. I was raised in a family
Speaker 2: with more Union cards than college degrees. At seventeen, I
Speaker 2: joined the Air Force and eventually became an F sixteen pilot.
Speaker 2: I flew forty five combat missions over Iraq, tested the
Speaker 2: world's fastest jets, and commanded the International Space Station. I've
Speaker 2: always lived by the Air Force's core value, service before self.
Speaker 2: After every mission, we debrief, no excuses, just the truth.
Speaker 2: After the twenty twenty four election disaster, Washington Democratic leadership
Speaker 2: skipped the debrief while chaos spreads. They claimed to the
Speaker 2: same old bankrupt ideas that they and not voters, should
Speaker 2: pick our candidates and that we should run the same old,
Speaker 2: tired playbook again, hoping for a different outcome. This moment
Speaker 2: demands something different, honesty, courage, and a clean break from
Speaker 2: the past. I'll make it my mission to fight for
Speaker 2: Texans every day. Texas farmer is crushed by Trump's insane tariffs,
Speaker 2: Texas workers buried with rising costs, Texas kids hit with
Speaker 2: education cuts, and Texas communities kicked off medicaid. I've rest
Speaker 2: my life for this country and I'll fight anyone trying
Speaker 2: to destroy it. I'm an American first, a Texan second,
Speaker 2: and a common sense Democrat third. It's time for new leadership.
Speaker 2: I'm Terry Urtz, I'm running for US Senate and I'm
Speaker 2: ready for my next mission.
Speaker 1: Well that's refreshing, time for a change. And with this
Speaker 1: ad Terry Vertz has become the first Senate candidate in
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six cycle to demand change in the
Speaker 1: Senate leadership, to be running both against the MAGA extremists,
Speaker 1: but also against the appeasers in Washington who have allowed
Speaker 1: the MAGA extremes the point of bayonet at The people
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles have filled the government with the most
Speaker 1: incompetent cabinet in American history and have no plan to
Speaker 1: stop it. They always have a scheme to hold on
Speaker 1: to their power, but at the expense of the country
Speaker 1: and the American people. And so when it comes to
Speaker 1: Terry Vertz and he goes out there and starts making
Speaker 1: his case. What I want you to know is I'm
Speaker 1: proud to call my friend, and I promise you this
Speaker 1: Terry Vertz different than a lot of the Washington insiders.
Speaker 1: He's on your side. He's a remarkable man. He's looked
Speaker 1: down on the Earth thousands of times. He saw the
Speaker 1: sunrise and the sunset across thousands of orbits, looking up
Speaker 1: into space and down seeing the mutuality of connection, seeing
Speaker 1: the beauty of this country. And he's talked to me
Speaker 1: about it up like a jewel. Talk to me about
Speaker 1: seeing what the Permian Basin looks like at night. In Texas,
Speaker 1: the great cities of that state, on the Gulf Coast, Houston, Austin, Dallas,
Speaker 1: San Antonio, El Paso, Terry Urtz is taking a stand
Speaker 1: at a time of crisis. He's a good guy, He's
Speaker 1: an honest guy, and I hope you'll check him out.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned because in Texas, this guy Ken Paxson, who
Speaker 1: may be the single biggest nut in the whole country,
Speaker 1: is going to beat John Cornyon and be the MAGA nominee.
Speaker 1: And this guy, as bad as the US Senate is,
Speaker 1: will take it to a whole next level. He is
Speaker 1: as corrupt as it gets, as dishonest as it gets,
Speaker 1: and Texans deserve better, maybe, just maybe to wind up
Speaker 1: with a straight talking, truth telling astronaut, and boy, wouldn't
Speaker 1: that be a refreshing change.
