00:00Here's the issue, Monty. DPS doesn't have enough manpower to be effective beyond traffic stop and searches.
00:06And Rangers, they're an investigative group, and they're on enough to have an impact.
00:10Yeah, well, I have a solution. What is that?
00:13Texas National Guard.
00:15I deploy the National Guard?
00:17I don't want you to deploy them, but they have to train, right?
00:20Mm-hmm.
00:21So, maybe they train there.
00:26Uh, Monty, when the military train, they shoot guns and drop bombs.
00:30I'm not sure how compatible that is with petroleum products.
00:33Yeah, well, I'd prefer they didn't bomb the wells, but there's about 75,000 acres there.
00:38Maybe they can figure out somewhere else to bomb.
00:41Look, there's a National Guard base in Odessa that has to schlep 400 miles to Fort Hood to train,
00:46if they can get a slot.
00:47They can drive 15 minutes here and do whatever the f*** they want.
00:50You want me to lease it?
00:51I'll give it to you.
00:52I don't give a s*** if they go dove hunting on it, as long as they're out there.
00:56A lot.
00:57Who's in command of that post?
