That's why West was kind enough to dip in and spend some time talking about Parachuting into Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, running for Texas Governor against Greg Abbott in the 2022 Primary, what it's REALLY like to work in Congress, and answer a lightning-fast round of rapid-fire foreign and domestic policy questions that have been on Mike's mind for years.
