"...because we've had the consistent inflow of oil, gas and liquid nitrogen for decades and decades in this state, and the oil booms in the early 1900's, the story of the Ewings on television and where they came form, that Texas and that's what's made us very different from other states. But we are under threat form a president that wants everything but oil, gas and liquid nitrogen in this country."
