In this episode of "Bradley on the Border," Ali sits down for an exclusive interview with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Together, they discuss the biggest issues facing the Lone Star State and the nation. Abbott talks about why Texas needs to stay red in the midterms, how he plans to crack down on AI data centers' use of water and power, and plans to finish the state's border wall.

On the issue of data centers, he tells Ali the companies behind them “must reduce electricity costs for residential customers, as well as small business customers.” On the border, he added Operation Lone Star is still active and will remain as they are still seeing people and drugs come into the country illegally, saying they’re now working with their federal counterparts to crack down on smuggling.
