America is at war with the Mexican drug cartels. Even if we aren’t on a war-footing, the cartels are. Recent drone footage showed Mexican cartels camping out just a few hundred yards from our border, in what is essentially a forward operating base. These bases are filled with cartel soldiers armed to the teeth with long guns and body armor. And one of their main sources of revenue – fentanyl – is flooding across our borders and killing Americans. In July, Border Patrol agents saw a nearly 200% jump in seizures of fentanyl at the U.S.-Mexico border. Of the more than 108,000 overdose deaths last year, more than 80,000 were linked with fentanyl. Now the cartels are improvising with “rainbow fentanyl,”colored fentanyl pills disguised as candy. This is our biggest national security threat and it’s right on our doorstep, being fueled by Biden’s open border policies. We need to get on a war-footing now.
It’s back. Mark your calendars because this year’s Youth Summit may be the best one yet. The real Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort. Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon. Conservative legend Dennis Prager. Country music star Randy Houser. All will be there on October 8-9.
And we’ve changed a few things. We will spread the speakers out over two days and include networking breaks and meet and greets. We will have an awesome concert with Randy Houser on Saturday night. Limited tickets will be available to young adults under 40 this year as well, and parents/guardians will have the option to accompany their teenager.
What do conservatives stand for? How do we win – not only the election in November – but also the culture war at large? How do we prove that conservatism is the only governing philosophy that can ensure freedom and prosperity for all Americans? I’ve been pondering these questions for a long time – and now it’s more important than ever for conservatives to have the right answers. So, this past weekend, I tried to articulate those answers. And the right path forward for us to reverse the disastrous course America is currently headed down.
Please watch my speech above.
Conservatives believe that when you maximize freedom, strong people will thrive. When you rely on and build upon the proven principles of free enterprise, the protection of natural rights, the institutional structures of a republic, you create a formula for boundless success and prosperity. And it’s the values of the Republican Party that protect and promote these principles. It’s the Republican Party that defends the greatest ideas and the greatest founding documents in history. It is the Republican Party that places faith in the individual to pursue their happiness without the weight of government on their back. The Republican Party is America’s last great hope.
Conservatives must be happy warriors and proudly tell the world why freedom is the path to prosperity. That’s how we win in November and for years to come.
That’s how many illegal immigrants could cross into our country EVERY DAY once Joe Biden rescinds Title 42. We are currently experiencing 7,000 illegal crossings every day as our border continues to be overrun. Remember, Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary said that 1,000 per day was a crisis.
Joe Biden’s border crisis is unlike anything we’ve seen before. And that’s why we need to take action.
Joe Biden claims that we don’t need Title 42 anymore because the pandemic is winding down (even though we are all still forced to wear masks on planes and kids are still forcibly masked in school). But there’s another public health emergency on the rise: fentanyl overdoses. Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for people aged 18-45 in the United States. There were 100,000 in 2021 for this age group, meaning fentanyl killed twice as many people as COVID-19, car accidents, cancer, and suicide.
As fentanyl pours across our border and into our communities, we need to extend Title 42 to be used to protect the American people from fentanyl smuggling at our border.
I’m supporting legislation to do just that but I need your help to put pressure on Joe Biden.
The anti-fossil fuel talking points that you’ve heard from the left for years were likely written by the Russians.
The radical environmentalists don’t want you know this. So I went on Fox Business this morning to expose the truth about their collusion with the Putin regime.
It stands to reason for anyone who’s paying attention that the Russians don’t like American natural gas. We’re their biggest competitor. We’ve taken a large part of their market share.
So the Russians see all these radical environmentalist groups, these NGOs, that operate within the United States and hate fossil fuels. They’re ideologically opposed. They worship the deities of solar and wind power. And the Russians say, “Well, why don’t we fund them because they seem to be doing our work better than we could possibly do it?”
The more we dig into this, you find for instance, that there’s a shell corporation in Bermuda called Klein Limited, which primarily funds an organization in San Francisco called Sea Change, which then turns around and funds a lot of groups that you would know like Sierra Club, for instance. So the House Energy and Commerce Committee is investigating this as we speak. We’ve sent out letters to all of these groups demanding that they come forward and be transparent with their funding.
It goes back further than that. In Texas, we lost a big deal with France, a big natural gas export deal with France because the French said all of the sudden, “Oh, the carbon footprint’s too high.” Come to find out, now there are allegations that the Gazprom (Russian state-owned energy corporation) got to the French and said, “No, you need to buy ours.” By the way, remember that Russian natural gas is produced much dirtier than US natural gas.
Again, radical environmental groups are pushing these anti-fossil fuel talking points. And I’m not the only one saying this. The NATO Secretary-General and even Hillary Clinton have admitted that anti-fracking propaganda is largely funded by the Russians. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has done reports on this. And my own Energy and Commerce Committee is investigating.
This is not a big secret. But it has not been well-publicized.
The financial and national security of America depends on our energy dominance. We can’t let Putin and the Democrats destroy it.

You’ve got a serious election coming up. Bottomline – please go out and vote for Morgan Luttrell. I know him well. He’s a genuinely good man and a true conservative. He’s a leader, not just someone who will repeat whatever sound bites draw a big applause. He was a Navy SEAL for 14 years, worked under Secretary of Energy Rick Perry as a special advisor in the Trump administration, and he owns his own small business in the district he grew up in.
Here’s the deal – there’s a bunch of candidates running in this open seat. There’s even some good veterans running, about whom I have nothing negative to say. But right now the front runner is Morgan, for good reason. He is supported by former Governor Rick Perry and Lt Gov Dan Patrick, among many others. As a front runner, he has been taking a lot of heat – smeared, insulted, all of it. He needs your help fighting back against some of the outside-the-district money attacking him. There are people who will say and do anything to get fame and power, and those are exactly the types of people attacking Luttrell right now. Don’t listen to them.
