The state of Texas is at the center of a constitutional crisis as the Supreme Court rules against the state's ability to protect its border from invasion. The Biden administration's handling of the border crisis has led to widespread criticism, and many are calling for Texas to take matters into its own hands. The situation has sparked a heated debate about the role of the federal government and the rights of states to protect their borders.

And the big story, ladies and gentlemen, not just in New Hampshire, but also in Texas, where the Supreme Court has basically sided with the Biden administration. And it looks to me that we are heading towards a very dangerous time in American history and possibly a constitutional crisis.

The question now: what will Texas do? The man who might be able to help us answer that question, one of the greatest podcasters in all of podcastendom, is Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, and he is on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Senator, hope you're doing well today. Todd, my friend, I'm doing terrific. Great to be with you.

All right. Senator, I want to get your reaction. Tucker Carlson last night asked a question, where are the men in Texas? What say you? Look, I think the decision from the Supreme Court is disgraceful.

We are seeing the Biden administration actively fighting against the state of Texas. To stop Texas from securing our border. Understand what's happened in the last three years. Joe Biden has made a deliberate political decision to allow the United States and to allow, in particular, Texas to be invaded. Joe Biden inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years.

We had incredible success under President Trump. We had made enormous progress towards securing the border. And Joe Biden deliberately ended that. He deliberately broke it. And today, we have the worst illegal immigration in our nation's history.

9.6 million illegal immigrants have come in under Joe Biden, and he's not trying to stop it. He doesn't want to stop it. Instead, he's actively suing and fighting the state of Texas, trying to prevent Texas from securing our border. It is absolutely indefensible. Senator, the governor coming out yesterday, also Texas Department of Public Safety, they say they are going to hold the line.

Have you had a chance to talk to the governor? And if so, what advice did you share with him? Or what would you like to share with them?

So I have not spoken with the governor since this decision. He is actually in India right now traveling abroad, but I speak with the governor frequently. He's a very close friend of mine. And listen, I'm glad the governor is standing up and fighting to defend Texas. I'm glad the state legislature is appropriated billions of dollars to try to secure the border.

You know, Texas shouldn't have to do this. Under the Constitution, it's not the state's responsibility to secure the border. It is the federal government's responsibility to secure the border. And the reason this crisis has happened, the thing to understand, this is not an accident. It's not that Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas are bad at their job or they're lazy or they're negligent.

That's not the problem. They want this crisis. They are not trying to secure the border. In fact, they are trying to make the crisis worse. Alejandro Mayorkis views his job.

as speeding up illegal immigration, processing illegal immigrants more quickly. He wants the nine point six million illegal immigrants to go to twenty million, thirty million, forty million. And the reason is simple. Biden and the Washington Democrats, they look at every one of those illegal immigrants as a future Democrat voter. and they are willing to overlook enormous human suffering In order to gain a partisan political advantage, it is cynical, it is twisted, and sadly it is the state of modern Democrats in Washington.

And Senator, on a much broader scale, this is also going to impact census numbers and congressional redistricting.

So this is a very dangerous path that Democrats are putting this nation on. It is a profoundly dangerous path. And to give you a sense of the scale, of human suffering. Because Todd, no one who goes down to the border and sees what's happening Can defend it. I spend a lot of time at our southern border.

I go out. Frequently on midnight patrol with the border patrol agents. I bring many senators from Washington down to Texas to see firsthand so they can understand precisely what's unfolding. When you see the death and destruction, you can't defend it. Last year, eight hundred fifty three migrants died crossing illegally into the country.

That is almost three a day that are dying one after the other after the other, many just being found dead bodies day after day on Texas farms and Texas ranches. Last year, thousands upon thousands of children were brutalized by human traffickers. Last year, thousands upon thousands of women were sexually assaulted by human traffickers. And last year, more than one hundred thousand Americans Died of drug overdoses, the highest in history. Because of Chinese fentanyl flooding across our southern border, and Joe Biden and the Democrats in Washington.

Are willing to overlook all of that. All of that human suffering because they care more about staying in power than they do about protecting the lives of Americans. Senator, you're a constitutional scholar. A lot of folks have been talking about Article 4, Section 4, and it seems to me the sticking point is what is an invasion? It seems to me when you have millions of people crossing your border without our permission, we used to fight wars over things like that.

That is a textbook definition of invasion, in my estimation. Look, I think it is unquestionably an invasion. The order of magnitude of it is so enormous. Look, we're dealing with ten million people. That is larger than many states in America.

That's who's coming across the southern border night after night after night. To put it in perspective, All right. The mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, a liberal Democrat. has said this is a crisis. And it is destroying New York City.

That is 110,000 illegal immigrants, he says, are destroying New York City.

Well, if 110,000 or destroy New York City. What the heck do you think 9.6 million are doing to Texas and the rest of the southern border. To put that in perspective, let's take just one town on the southern border, Del Rio. Del Rio is a beautiful town. It's a small town right on the Rio Grande River.

Del Rio has a population of about thirty thousand. I was down in Del Rio when in a single day there were more than fifteen thousand Haitians who were crossing in a single day, and they were camped in a massive encampment under an enormous bridge. That is fifty percent of the population of the city crossing in one day. That if that's not an invasion, I don't know what is. And it is caused by Joe Biden, and it's caused by every Democrat in the Senate and the House who want this to happen.

Senator, real quick, I know that we've got the New Hampshire primary underway, but I want to focus on your race. Democrats have targeted you, and they're coming after you with guns ablazing. Tell us about your race. How are things going? How can our great Houston listeners get plugged in and get involved to get you back to the Senate?

Well, I'm running for reelection, and you're right, the Democrats have put a target on my back. Chuck Schumer has made clear I am his number one target in the country, and the Democrats are going to spend more than one hundred million dollars trying to beat me. My last reelection race six years ago, I won by less than three points, 2.6 percent. And given that, They are flooding the state with cash. And so I would urge your listeners In Texas and across the country, to come to Tedcruz.org, our website, sign up and contribute, give $510, $20,550 $100.

If you come to Tedcruz.org, that will give us the resources we need to fight back, to fight to secure our border, to defend Texas, because Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. They want to turn Texas into California. And if Texas falls, the impact for the country is massive.

So I would encourage your listeners, come to Tedcruise. org, sign up to volunteer to support us and make a contribution, ideally a recurring monthly contribution, because the amount of money that big tech billionaires and that leftists across the country are flooding into Texas to try to defeat me, it is staggering. It is one hundred million dollars, and we can only win with your help. And, folks, I know our Houston listeners on Patriot Talk are going to do just that. Senator, I know you've got a busy day ahead of you.

We appreciate the great work you're doing. And the podcast, you're crushing it. In spite of Ben Ferguson, you are crushing it in the podcast wars.

Well, it's a lot of weight to carry, but it is great fun. And we do Verdict with Ted Cruz. We do it three days a week, and so y'all should subscribe to the podcast. Actually, this week we're doing it four days a week. We did a special bonus podcast.

Today.

So yesterday, I did a podcast doing a deep dive on the New Hampshire primary and walking through the inside stories of the Presidential Trail in twenty sixteen. Obviously, I spent an enormous amount of time in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina.

So yesterday's podcast gives you really the inside story Today's podcast, which was a bonus podcast today. I I went into the history. Of Iowa, of New Hampshire, and South Carolina, and why those primaries matter, and what to expect next. I've endorsed Donald Trump. I think this race is over.

I think Trump is going to be our nominee. But the podcast yesterday and today walk through and give you information, frankly, you can't get anywhere else. It's not something that's covered in the corporate media. It's not something that is covered on TV. And so the podcast is really.

Filling a space for information that I think doesn't exist anywhere else. All right, Senator, we're going to leave it there. Always good hearing from you, and we'll get you back on soon. Thank you, my friend. God bless.

All right. God bless. Senator Ted Cruz, everybody. Man, he is fired up today. And yeah, he had, we went like three or four minutes over, but I think that's okay.

But we didn't even jump into Nikki Haley and what's happening in New Hampshire. We're going to get to that in just a little while. And again, normally, folks, we spend the first hour doing the opening monologue. And with all of the breaking news, what happened yesterday at the Supreme Court is the most pressing issue in our nation right now. If states are not allowed to protect themselves from invasion, What recourse do you have?

Now, the good news here is this is still being adjudicated in the court, so it's not over yet. This is not. This is not the bottom line, right?

So Texas still has legal recourse here. But the question is, what happens if the courts decide ultimately that Texas does not have a right to defend her borders? What happens then? You already have people, and these conversations are trending on social media right now. I mean, you've got people out there talking about Civil War, talking about secession.

And those are legitimate conversations that need to be had and will be had. But imagine being a Texan right now and hearing that news. That the federal government is stepping in and they are stopping Texas. from securing the border. That's the whole point of this, right?

That's why we have a border patrol. And they're not allowed to do their jobs because the Biden administration, as Senator Cruz just said. The Biden administration wants those people in this country for their votes, their illegal votes, and also to skew. The c the the census numbers.

So, we're going to take a quick break here. We will go to the phone lines. Do you stand with Texas here? And what do you recommend Texas do? Our telephone number is 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. We're going to be taking your calls. Also, our live chat up and running over on our YouTube channel. And we'd encourage you to go over there, and I'll be chatting with you here in the commercial break. This is, ladies and gentlemen, the Todd Stern Show.

Somebody was freaking out. And they said, Todd. Is Trump in danger in New Hampshire? I said, well, not unless a moose is on the loose, what are you talking about? They said, Well, he lost Dicksville notch.

He got wiped out by Nikki Haley.

Okay, so let me explain real quick here. We're going to go to the phones. But let me explain this to you.

So, Dicksville Notch, they've been doing this since, I believe, the 1960s, and they are the first in the nation to vote, right? They do this in the general election, and I think there are 12 people that live in Dicksville Notch. Six of them voted, and all of the votes went for Nikki Haley.

So, they vote at midnight, they count the votes, and they announce the winner, and it was Nikki Haley. And she won in a landslide. All the votes went to her. Look, going back to 2016 and 2020, you had John Kasich, he won Dicksville Notch and ended up getting clobbered. Also, Mike Bloomberg won.

One Dicksville notch.

So it's not a big deal.

So don't worry. President Trump is ahead by a bazillion points right now.

So you're good. It's going to be a great night for Donald Trump. And the concern I would have is whether or not the independents are going to swing for Nikki Haley. You have the Boston Globe out there literally calling for independents to vote for Haley as a protest vote. And if that happens, it could be close, but it doesn't matter.

Trump is going to kick her buttocks. in South Carolina. All right, let's go to the phone lines. Let's start in South Carolina. Gene is listening to us on Talk Radio 960.

Hi, Gene. What's on your mind? Hi, Todd, a pleasure. A couple of questions, okay. Like our illegal immigrants, coming over the border allowed to vote.

In no other country does this happen. when even American citizens when they go to prison, they can't even vote. That's true, but the Democrats, they fight dirty. And we're dealing with But how can that be allowed if they're not a U. S.

citizen? It shouldn't be allowed, but the Democrats allow it. And the courts and again, this is a matter of like it needs to go to the Supreme Court, like a bill or something. I mean, this is just absolutely ridiculous.

Well, I'm not arguing with you at all. It's outrageous. And quite frankly, every person who does vote illegally should be rounded up and deported right there on the spot. 100%. Yeah, I mean he has is a president, okay?

The man is cognitively impaired.

Okay, so There's no way he would pass a competency test. I can bet anybody $100, he will never pass.

Okay, so You know, how can any bill he signed be, you know, legal. He doesn't know what he's done and have to see. He has no idea. I wish the media would start interviewing more doctors. as to their point of view.

The leader we can't have the leader of the free world. Not being able to. It's not competent. Gene, it's a fair point. And let's get real.

Biden's not running the country. That's Barack Hussein Obama. I mean, he's the guy that's ultimately running the country right now. And you're right, the guy's out of it. He's clueless.

We had Dr. Ronnie Jackson on, who was the doctor to both Obama and Trump, and he said it's very clear to him that this guy is clueless, that he's just not there. Gene, you give us a call back. I like you. You got fire in your spirit there, Gene.

We got to run for a break. Hang tight. We've got Janice in New Orleans, Allen in Maine, Steve in Arkansas. Lines are open, ladies and gentlemen. 901-260-5926.

Do you stand with Texas or the Supreme Court? We'll be right back. MyPillow is celebrating its 20-year anniversary with over 80 million MyPillows sold.

Three nine eighty five oh six promo code STARNS. All right, so JC is over on our YouTube chat and says, Todd, my gut instinct is to say, heck yeah, stop the agents from tearing down the razor wire.

But he says, What are the repercussions? For those who are Who would tear it down? He says, Would they be charged with interfering with government agents? And it's a great question. My recommendation is to stand your ground.

What are they going to do? Arrest the governor of Of Texas? Is that what they're going to do? I don't know. I don't know, ladies and gentlemen.

So, anyway, join us on the live chat over on the YouTube channel. In the meantime, let's head over to the phone lines. Let's go to Arkansas. Scott is listening to us on our flagship station, KWAM. Hey, Scott, what's your take on all of this?

Well, Todd, I haven't spoken to you in a little while from Conway, Arkansas here. You know what? Um Here's my thought. Here's what I really wanted to get to. Have you seen, have you heard about the movement?

that is starting right now called takeourborder back dot com. I have not and they're well, February 3rd. And this is this is I thought you would know you always know everything. February 3rd. Truckers, ranchers, law enforcement, they're all marching to the border.

Now, check this out and make sure because this is where I've heard about this. And I want to make sure, I'd like to know.

Okay, not sure what happened to Scott there, but try to give us a call back. Let's go to Alan in Maine, W-L-O-B, our great station there. Hi, Alan. What's up? Hey, God.

I was listening and I heard uh broadcast on another network. Check this out. I guess uh Those federal agents, if they're Interfering or obstructing federal law, they can be arrested under Statute United States Code 8-34.

So I think that's what they should do, start arresting those federal agents that are violating the federal law.

Well, I know the Department of Public Safety down there, they took control of a park in Eagle Pass, Shelby Park, that the federal government, they were letting all the illegals into the country through this park. And the Department of Public Safety went in and took control of the park. There was a big hullabaloo a couple of weeks ago over that.

So I'm with you, Alan. If those federal agents are breaking the law, then I believe that the officers there in Texas have every right Under the Texas Constitution, to arrest those agents. And that's exactly what they ought to do, and then deport them from the state of Texas. Alan, appreciate that call. It's a great thought you have.

Let's go to Art in Ohio, listening to us on our KWAM app. Hi, Art. What's going on?

Well, uh it's interesting. My wife and I had a discussion last night about the Supreme Court ruling. And my wife thought, as you did, that the ruling on the Supreme Court's Pipe was uh inappropriate or wrong. But I said to her, I said, you know, it may well be that the justices disagree. on the whole issue of is this a federal border Or is this a state Border.

And in places like Texas, Arizona, California, and I said to her, possibly New Mexico. I didn't look at the map. But but the fact is We have a border in Texas, which is both state and federal And in effect, what's happening, I think, is the administration is kind of Play the string, so to speak, on the instrument that says this is a federal border. And Governor Abbott is the Abbott is playing on the string that says. This is a state border.

They're both right. But the point is on a border like that, which is both which is both a national border and a state border, The the Supreme Court as we, I think, perceive it as a nation, Has to give us a ruling on where does the Constitution stand on this, and apparently. The Supreme Court, by a narrow division of five to four, has said in effect This is first and foremost A federal border. But you don't know that, Art. You don't know that.

That's speculation because the court did not give a reason behind their decision. And you're right, it was a 5-4 decision. You had Barrett and Roberts signing with the Liberal justices, but they gave us no reason for why they did that. And again, this case is not over. It now goes back to the lower court where it will be adjudicated again.

So it could very well end up back at the Supreme Court, and maybe then we would get some explanation. But it seems to me, Art, the border there is a Texas issue. It is a state issue, and the federal government has a responsibility under Article 4, Section 4, to protect the states from invasion. No, no, I fully agree with that. I'm just saying what I was trying to figure out is.

what is going on in the heads of the justices Yeah, we just don't have. And so I said to my wife, I said, maybe what's going on here is the justices who said. You know, that it's a in effect, it's a federal border. It's a national border. and because it is simultaneously both national and state border.

Could be.

So that's the conundrum we deal with on that issue. Could be.

Art, soon we will find out. I can promise you that. Appreciate that call, Art. You give us a call back one of these days. Look, it's a smart argument.

The question you know, but again, we don't know because the justices did not give us any reasoning. Period. Let's go to Chuck in Memphis, Tennessee, on our flagship station, KWAM. Hi, Chuck. What say you?

Well, you know, you have to look at it this way. That wasn't a ruin, that was just a stay. That does not allow Texas to make a came this decision until the lower court ruled on it. But here's the other thing too. If The courts uphold this.

Then when Trump gets elected. What is to stop him from going into Chicago, San Francisco, LA, all of these sanctuary cities, New York? and clean them all out because What this does, it confirms federal supremacy over state law.

So it certainly would would then set a president to our To put it over in city law elements of the sanctuary city. Chuck, I'm curious to see if that will continue. It has been incredibly effective what Greg Abbott has been doing, shipping these illegals to Chicago, New York City, Detroit, some of these other communities. And what I find fascinating about all of this, Chuck, is that. The media is in an uproar, and the Democrats are in an uproar over this, but that's exactly what Joe Biden is doing in the dark of night.

They're literally flying these illegals to places like here in Tennessee, for example, Chattanooga.

So, all of our listeners out in Chattanooga, there's a good chance you've got a lot of illegals living in your neighborhood. And, Chuck, there have even been reports unconfirmed that illegals and flights full of illegals have been sent even into the Memphis area, courtesy of the Biden administration. Maybe maybe Abbott ought to spring for a point.

Well there you go. It's a fair point, Chuck. Appreciate that call, sir. Thank you for listening to our flagship station. Let's go to Janice.

Miss Janice, the Queen of New Orleans. Miss Janice, what say you?

Now let me tell you about the queen here. I got Fool. And um They have all kinds of articles on it, local news, headlines, all kinds of stuff, stuff across the country, everything. It's a great app. Bye.

to each article that's on there that you can read. You're all silky. comment about it. And last night I'm reading and somebody actually called mister Abbott. of fascists.

And let me tell you something. I'll lead into them. I'll aid into 'em. I replied and I told him, I said, Do you leave the door of your home open? Don't you lock your car?

I told them. The El Salvadorian that recently he was drunk driving, he killed a woman and her son. There was a teenage girl that was raped. There was a woman in my own state. that was in Kennedy, Louisiana, that was killed.

And this is just a few things. People are being killed at the hands of these illegals all over our country. This is an invasion.

Now when a president Takes the oath. I'll lost it. Yeah, it's it's in that what is I think is the constitution there.

someplace. There's Article 4, I think it's called Article 4, Section 4. Article four, section four?

Okay. Um that you swear you take an oath to protect the country. from invaders and from violence. And this man is not doing that. And as far as I am concerned, he people are dead right now.

Because of him. I think Biden should be in jail, and the people do need to rise up. And if Donald J. Trump is not allowed to be on ballot certain ballots, And if The Supreme Court holds that the the abbot cannot protect his state. I'm afraid there is going to be an issue here.

But the people are going to be right. They're not going to be wrong. They help to stand up. How would I know how I'd feel if I went out my back door and found people sleeping in my garage or something like that? I mean, if I went to your house, Todd, wherever you live and did something like that, what would that be called?

Right. It would be trespassing. Yeah. Absolutely.

So Ms. Janice, look, I think you raise valid points here. And my concern is where do we go from here? We are on a path. Towards civil war in this country.

And I'm the because ultimately, I don't believe. The federal government would allow Texas to to leave the Union. I mean, if the Supreme Court ultimately decides that Texas does not have a right to defend itself from an invasion, I think Texas would pull out of the Union. I truly do. And, Ms.

Janice, thank you for that call. Which is why Tucker Carlson last night was raising this issue: where are the men of Texas? And I want to read what Tucker wrote. On um on social media last night. Why aren't the men of Texas protecting their state and their nation?

Everyone in power from the White House to the hedge fund managers to the Supreme Court of the United States has decided to destroy the country by allowing it to be invaded. That leaves the population to defend itself. And Tucker is right here.

So we are setting ourselves up right now for a constitutional crisis. What do you think the federal government's going to do if the Texas Department of Public Safety starts arresting these federal agents? They're going to have to respond to that. And at that point, you are going to have the federal government taking up arms against the good people of Texas. I mean, this is how it all plays out here, ladies and gentlemen.

And this is not conjecture, this is not speculation, but this is where we are right now. And I'm curious to know if you and by the way, Every state is now a border state, so it's not that Texas alone is having this issue. The good people in Arizona, New Mexico. Oklahoma, you guys are going to be faced with these same issues, even if you are not directly along the border. Because of what Joe Biden has done here.

But the country's been invaded. The country is now being occupied. And the question is, what? Are we going to do about it? And specifically, what do you recommend Texas do here?

Again, our telephone number is 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. We'll be right back. All right, coming up, Robin Hoffman is going to be here to weigh in on the New Hampshire primary. Also, Caleb Park from Newsmax has been reporting live.

We'll be chatting with him. And Vivek Ramaswamy is going to be on the Newsmax TV show later this afternoon, along with our good pal Riley Neesent from South Dakota weighing in. All right, let's go to the phone lines here. We'll go to Randy in Georgia, WDUN. Hi, Randy.

What's on your mind today? Hey Trot, how you doing? I'm calling back what you're asking for. I I I listen to the show and every now and then I get upset. I I got question for you.

Huh? Isn't this like uh Sides and pan the illegals come across so he can get a throat. like hand the money and saying, Come on across Didn't you get right when you come across from America? And this is going to start a civil war because all these people in Georgia are getting fat up. We've got Sphinx coming over here.

and doing what they're doing, and they're spreading these people all over the United States.

Now in this block room Well, look, the pro yeah, I mean, this is the game plan. Biden is intentionally dropping off, dumping these illegal aliens. And by the way, they're not just Hispanics. We're talking about a lot of people from a lot of very bad places and hotbeds of terrorism, Northern Africa, China.

So there are a lot of people that are coming across. And as a matter of fact, it wasn't over the weekend. there was some video of some Muslim, and he had crossed over illegally, and somebody had the video camera out and wanted to know where the guy was from, and the guy just looked directly at the person filming and said, You're going to know who I am very soon.

Well, what does that mean?

Well, it concerns me, and it should concern you, that Biden is literally dumping terrorists into our neighborhoods and our communities. And again, Randy, Gainesville, Georgia is a beautiful town, beautiful city. And I think that even places like Gainesville are going to feel the effects of what Joe Biden is doing at our border. Appreciate the call. By the way, ladies and gentlemen, coming up in the break.

I would love for you to go to Amazon and help us by pre-ordering a copy of my brand new book. It'll be out in March. It's called Twilight's Last Gleaming: Can America Be Saved? And this is going to be a grassroots effort to promote the book. We're going to rely on you, count on this great, vast audience to get the word out about this book.

You're going to love it. It's a lot of fun, a lot of laughter. and a lot of stuff to think about too. But I do believe that we're going to be able to save America, and I explain how in Twilight's Last Gleaming. All right, let's go to Steve and Arkansas, listening to us on KWAM.

Hi, Steve. Hey Todd, uh I want to go along the same line other people are going about. Go. What gives the federal government the right to ignore or assist in the breaking of state laws and federal laws and what I want to take it a little further. If this goes by, that they've got the right to ignore Texas's laws.

that affects every state in the union stuff because what's going to be next? Are they going to are they going to start ignoring state gun ownership laws? Are they going to start ignoring state property? Laws, property rights laws, this could set a precedent for something real big. It could, Steve, and I appreciate the call.

We are coming up on a hard break, so we're going to have to let you go. But let me answer that question. We are dealing with communist here. That's what we're dealing with. We're not dealing with far-leftists.

We're not dealing with progressives. We are dealing with communists. Last night, went out to that big event. Steve Friend, who was on our show yesterday, had a book talk in Germantown, Tennessee. standing room only crowd.

And here you had an FBI whistleblower warning Americans. That the government was turning agencies against the people. And it's imperative for all of us to pay attention. And when the opportunity comes to fight back. And again, it's imperative that we start calling these people what they really are.

They're not progressives, they're not leftists, they're not wackadoodles. They're communist. And they're coming after all of us. All right, hang tight, everybody. Hour two of the big show coming up next.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's America's conservative blowtorch. That's it! That's right. I love this American.

Todd start. All right. I got a big problem, America.

So we're getting ready. For the big book tour, Grace Baker working very hard right now. She's basically a travel agent. She wears many hats here on the program. And so, anyway, a lot of these events, for example, flying up, I'm giving a speech at CPAC, so I got to fly up to D.C.

Doing a lot of events out on the left coast.

So, flying out to California, Oregon. You folks in Salem, Get ready, we may be coming to town. Um Flying the friendly skies. And I say this because this item: this is a breaking news report out of Atlanta, Hartsfield, Jackson International Airport. where the wheel of a Boeing seven fifty seven broke off.

As the plane was getting ready to take off, and the wheel just rolled right down the runway. Was it a couple of days ago a passenger was glancing out and looked at the wing of the plane and realized, wait a second. There are about a half a dozen bolts missing from the plane here, and Fortunately, the pilot pulled in and said, Hey, you guys got to fix this. And what was it, a couple of weeks ago you had the poor the poor passengers nearly got sucked out of the airplane, Alaska Airlines flight from Portland to Ontario, California. I'm just wondering, how's all this DEI hiring working out for these airlines?

And honestly, I think I probably just need to maybe I just need to drive. Forget about the airline tickets, Grace Baker. Just get me directions to ni to the nearest Bucky's. Want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line? Good friend of this program, fellow traveler of the friendly skies, Robin Poffman, joins us.

Robin, it's bad enough that you have to worry about the fist fights on the Spirit Airlines.

Now you have to worry about getting sucked out of the airplane. It's outrageous. The best thing you just mentioned was Bucky's. I love that place. They have the best.

um sandwiches, you know, the uh The, what is it called? The barbecue. You can either get it chopped or sliced. Oh, so yummy. Good eating right there.

And the bathrooms are very clean. I mean, it's a very nice place. Very clean. It's the best. I'm telling you, I was at a Bucky's on Christmas Eve.

I've never seen anything like it in my life. the amount of people. It it was off the chain, off the chain.

So a little plug for them. I'll tell you something, Todd. You you should have Miss Grace with the booking of your planes. Please make sure you're getting all your points. Yeah what I mean?

You're not going to believe this, Poffman, but I'm a member of the Million Mile Club. At Delta. Oh. Fantastic. Yeah, you know, it's a real problem with Delta worried about DEI and United Airlines and let's go down the list, you know, down to spirit.

People looking out the window and you, as like the common man, notice something that's wrong with your airplane. I mean, I you've flown with me. I'm busy doing terrorism profiling.

Now I have to add a plane mechanic to my resume. Come on now. It's true. Back in the old days, we just had to worry about the Islamic radicals, you know, lighting their shoes on fire. But now.

Anyway, so I'm just still working through Robin Hoffman in a Buckies. Have you had the beaver nuggets yet? I have not. I did buy a Bucky's, and I can text it to you. I bought a Bucky's Christmas ornament.

I'm so in love with the establishment that I wanted it on our Christmas tree this year. Love it.

Well, let's move from Bucky's to what's happening in New Hampshire right now. And I guess, based on Nikki Haley's behavior of late, we have to recognize every time we mention Nikki Haley that she is a brown woman. That seems to be very important to her narrative now. What do you make of Nikki Haley embracing the woman card, playing the race card, and basically she wasn't insinuating, she was saying that the good people of South Carolina were racist? I I think You know what?

I can't put my finger on it, but this person, this woman, this politician, she irritates, and I'm a woman, she irritates me as a woman. And I'm not voting for you, Nikki, because you're a woman. I'm going to vote for a woman who's competent. I don't I don't vote the woman, you know, Hillary, you know, burn my bra, put it on a flagpole. I'm not that lady.

I vote for competence. I vote for competence in the airlines. I think we need to get, totally get rid of DEI everywhere. I think we need to go back to the best mechanic, whether they're a black man or a white man or a white man, a white woman or a black woman. I don't care who you are.

You need to be the best that you can be in that job. And I don't think that she's the best person for this job. There's something about, you know, there are people that were turned off. They keep talking about the demeanor of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. What about the demeanor of Nikki Haley?

She just, you know, rubs me the wrong way. I can't really place it. I don't know if it's the voice, if it's too shrill, but I kind of tune out when she's talking. I'm just speaking, you know, as an observer. I do think that they're going to have at least three times the turnout.

Clearly, the weather is better in New Hampshire today and tonight than it was in Iowa. I think you're going to see three times the amount of people come out and vote. And I think it's going to be a very loud and proud moment For Donald J. Trump, who's going to run away with this thing. And if I were her, I would not want to be embarrassed in my home my home state is New Jersey.

So if I was running for President or Congress or Senate or dog catcher and I knew that I was going to lose in my home state, I would say, you know, It's time for me to hang up my hat. It's been a nice run. Maybe I'll get a job in the administration or not. And let me go on my way to save myself from the embarrassment of this, which is what's going to happen here. She doesn't have what it takes to be president in my world.

Yeah, it's just she's off-putting, and I can't put my finger on it, but when she came out, you know, a lot of these policies, they just sound like they're coming from the Democrats, and it's very odd. Clearly, though, she has the backing of the anti-Trump movement in the Republican Party. Do you think this is going to have any sort of an impact on the turnout today and who ultimately wins tonight? No, I mean, they had her winning. What's that little town with the six votes?

Dicksville Notch. Yeah, so she won Dicksville Notch. You can hear the six people clapping in the background. And New Hampshire's a weird place, live free or die. You have a lot of indepe for people that don't know in your listening audience, there's a lot of independents up there.

And she's kind of that rhino Republican in name only George Bush kind of a vibe. And she's running around with the Sununu kid. And I I don't know. It j it just it doesn't work for me because I'm not a rhino. I'm a conservative.

So that's what ha that's why DeSantis disintegrated is because his lane was so narrow. He had the anti-Trump conservative vote, which is such a sliver of the pie, right, Todd? It's just such a sliver. And so there's not a lot of people in that lane of traffic. And so that's why he disintegrated.

I am still, I know you're not, but I am still a big DeSantis fan. And I have spent a ton of time in Florida under his leadership there. And the state runs better than any other state in our country. First, second, Texas would be number two. But Florida is number one.

And I am telling you that he has a future. And when he said his goodbye remarks before they gave him the hook and took him off the stage, I thought that he looked the most presidential at the very end. And to me, that was the kickoff of 2028, if you do the math, right, 2028. And I think it was just a matter for him. If I was his political consultant, I would say, sir, it is just not your time.

It is meant to be that you finish out your great work in the great state of Florida, and it's just not The right time for you, but that doesn't mean there's not a time for you and a place in the future.

So I think he's the future of the party. Host Trump. And as Todd, you know, it's been interesting. A lot of people, just in my personal life, have been asking me who I would see Trump picking for VP. Would you like to hear my male and female pick?

I'm all ears.

Okay, if he goes for a man, I would like it me personally, I'd like to see Pompeo in there, the former Secretary of State, because I think he knows he's kind of low-key, he's hardcore, he gets the job done, and he knows the players, so I'd like it to be Pompeo. And they're not in like any kind of competition. Pompeo kind of does his own thing, right? And then on the female side, my pick would be Huckabee Sanders, the current governor, Mike Huckabee's daughter. I think that she always had a really solid relationship with Trump when she was the spokesperson.

I think she really knows foreign policy because of her dad. She's a leader. And I think if he goes with someone like a Carrie Lake from Arizona or Christy Noam from South Dakota, I think if he goes down the glamour lane, he's gonna you're gonna have that Sarah Palin thing going on with the media, and you're gonna end up on Saturday Night Live with him picking a really, really, really attractive, glamorous woman. I think you're much better off with a woman who is not as glam and better in the political arena. And that's what leads me to Huckabee Sanders and possibly Elise Stephaniek, but I think she's still a little young.

I think that She would be better like DeSantis in 2028. You see, I like Sanders. She's done a great job. I happen to be a property owner in Arkansas, so I'm very happy with the way things are going there. Look, I.

You know, I talked to the governor. We asked the governor about that a couple of weeks ago on the show, and he said that she's very happy doing what she's doing right now. And again, she's in her first term as governor. That being said, nothing is off the table, and she has been a great defender of President Trump. Remember, Robin, when he, the conversation when Kim Jong-un was giving her the eye when they were over there, and Trump looked at her and said, Sarah, you may have to take one for the team.

That's insane. I mean, that's Trump. Yeah, that's hilarious. That is a true Trumpian statement. But I think at this point, anything could happen.

I do think that Trump is going to run away with it. I think everything going on in Atlanta, Georgia with Fonnie Willis and her Caribbean crew. You know, I'm a big fan, Todd, as you know. I'm a big fan of going on vacation. I'm a big fan of a I'm a big fan of Royal Caribbean cruises.

I'm a big fan of weekends in Miami and weekends in Napa Valley drinking your Sacramento days. with the Napa Valley up there, right? Uh But really, you hired this guy who's not the right kind of lawyer for the trial, and now you're running around allegedly, allegedly having an affair. And then it's The whole thing, the whole case. needs to go right into the trash bin.

It's a great point, and I think it will. And she's in trouble. I think she's got big problems ahead of her, and I hope she's got a good attorney. Popman, we're going to have to leave you there. We are super late for a break here.

A great insight. We've got you down at Pompeo and Huckabee Sanders. We've got you down. On January 23rd, the day after my birthday, the odometer just rolled up one yesterday, Todd. Wow, happy birthday.

30? Happy birthday. Um Thirty-one. You look beautiful. All right.

All right. Robin Poppin', everybody. A great national correspondent and journalist. Robin, you be you be good and happy birthday. All right, great lady right there.

By the way, this is coming in. Los Angeles Times, they're summoning the staff. Looks like a bunch of reporters are getting the heave-ho, laying off about 20% of the newsroom today.

So there you go. I'm telling you, folks, people hate the media. They just hate these journalists. Got to take a break. When we come back, going to the phones, 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926. We'll be right back. Mary and Mary. Um Hey. Um All right, as promised, let's go right to the phone lines.

Let's say hello to James in Florida, listening to us on our KWAM app. Hi, James. What's on your mind today? Yes, but listen. Um I think Donald Trump.

It's the best thing going for today. And I think that in it So called citizens. uh that don't see what's going on. With whoever the leader is, they say it's Biden. I don't think so, but whoever the leader is.

with all these high prices on each Agenda. the food, the gas, the disc. And I fucked Trump 'cause he said, We own 'em. Drill, dream, dream. Anytime you're living in a country that got so much natural resources.

And don't use it.

Something is wrong with the people. The people in America is sort of gullible to me. You know, you're talking about low IQ voters.

Well, I think this whole country, not everybody. I think this whole country is low-eyed cup. Look what they vote for. Look look how then they can then they try to justify By being in a war. I don't care nothing about Ukraine.

I don't care nothing about Israel. I don't care about no country that's causing bloodshed. Fight your own war. If we don't lost two deck gum I am a veteran. Air Force worked on Air Force C.

When you work on when you're working on airplanes, You don't do no thinking. You put you put in your hand, it's called a technical order. If you can read, I guess that's one reason why they say I was a mechanic because I know how to read and comprehend. And when you're working on airplanes and inspecting airplanes, It's a super fast thing. It's a very simple and if you need a specialist.

You go get him.

So The American people ought to get off of this foolishness. And I I'm I'm trying to convince ten people The living letters I'm I'm I'm working on my daughter, I'm working on my wife. that uh Donald Trump Is the right person for the day. James, I'm trying to convince President Trump to come to Memphis to do a rally because I'm with you. I think especially more black voters are going to be switching parties and voting for Trump this go-around only because the Democrats have completely failed.

They have failed the black community. They failed the Hispanic community. And let's see what happens, James. You've got about 30 seconds. Your thoughts on that?

You think we're going to. And even with all of that? They think they still don't win. They think they still got to pull the wool over people. They don't even sleep that people are waking up.

Even though it don't seem that way, I got ten people to convince. We vote for Trump. People don't really just listen, you do the same. This thing has to come from the personal account of person. Yep, you're right.

You believe in. Yeah, you gotta dig in. I'm convincing my daughter and my wife and ten other friends that I No, I ain't no premiers but the associates that you need to vote for Donald Trump. I can't see nobody wanting to vote for anybody but Donald Trump. It wasn't no war started.

And you definitely got to be here strong like that, brother. They drive me like Donald Trump gonna file wars. And there wasn't no war. No, there was no war. James, we're running up on a break here, so we got to let you go.

But hear me on this, James. You need to get involved with the White Haven Republican Club when you're back home in Memphis. They're doing some great stuff, and it might be good to bring your wife and daughter over to one of the meetings. They're really running and gunning the White Haven Republican Club, which, by the way, is in a predominantly black part of Memphis, strong middle-class community. And people are sick and tired.

And I feel very, very encouraged about where things are going here. All right, 901-260-5926 is our number. This is the Todd Sternge.

Something that All right, still excited about yesterday's show. We had the lady call in 45 years she was voting Democrat. After listening to this program, she is now voting Republican for the very first time, and she's going to be voting for Donald Trump. Good for you, ma'am. And we celebrate that on this program.

Real quick, I want to go to Ocala, Florida.

Sonny is on the line listening to us on WOCA.

Sonny, what is on your mind? What's on my mind is the fact that we don't have an American government any longer. The Supreme Court, as far as I'm concerned, violated the Constitution. Article one, section nine, article four, section four. The one that's really strong is Article four, Section four.

The United States shall guarantee to every state in the Union a Republican form of government. and shall protect each of them against invasion. And on the application of the legislature, et cetera, it's not a very long article. It's not long, but it packs a punch, doesn't it, Sonny? It sure does.

And our entire administration is violating the OTABO office And also if you read the whole article there besides the Oath of Orpus, they're violating the Constitution again. The it's a a bloody shame what's going on in our country. Sunny, it's disgusting, and they're setting up a constitutional crisis here. It is it is. It's the end of if we don't sprayten this out now, I predict by the by next December, We will not have The United States of America will be pledging allegiance to the USSA, United Socialist States of America.

we are losing our government at a very rapid pace. And if the people and our Congress doesn't wake up, we were we were gone.

Sonny, you're spot on. And let me tell you this: you, sir, are a great American patriot. And I want you to call WOCA and tell them thank them for carrying our program. And we thank you for listening today. But you're absolutely right.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are dealing with communists here. It's that simple. And we're going to have to fight 'em. Because they're planning on taking over this country.

Well, look, one of the things that we try to do on this program is salute and partner with great organizations. And this coming Friday, I'll be driving up Interstate 40 to Nashville. And I've been invited to speak at a great luncheon meeting of the Jewish Republican Alliance. And the co-founder of this organization joining us now on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, Mitch Silberman. Mitch, first of all, great to have you on the program.

And second, thanks for the invitation. Todd, it's an honor. I've been reading your awesome columns for years, and the opportunity to not only meet you, but have you speak. To our group is very exciting.

Well, it's all hands on deck here. And, Mitch, you may not be aware of this. I, Todd Starns, a Gentile, am an honorary member of the Jewish Republican Club here in Memphis, Tennessee.

So I'm part of the tribe. Absolutely.

Well, I will tell you, I escaped California almost a year and a half ago. And what I've learned being a proud Southerner now is that Christian Are the biggest and most ardent fans of Jews in Israel.

So I am just so thrilled to be in the national area.

Well, it's a great area and excited about this meeting. Tell us about the efforts there. And are you seeing, as a result of what happened on october seventh, are you starting to see Democrats who traditionally or Jewish people who traditionally vote Democrat turning to the Republican Party? They are. It's a bit of a come-up for them because they've been, I'm sad to say, so brainwashed to only vote Democrat and the horrors of October 7th.

Todd, it must have been twenty-four hours that the knives came out for Israel, and now a lot of Jewish Democrats That's redundant, are saying wait a minute. All this hostility towards Jews in Israel is coming from my party. Uh-oh, I have to rethink things maybe. And how is that process going? Are you finding it easy?

Are people, you know, are you guys going out? How are they finding out about the alliance?

Well, we began the Jewish Republican Alliance almost eight years ago, and you'll get a kick out of this, Todd. When we founded the organization in March of twenty sixteen, My co-founder and I, Bruce Karasik, said, Well, if Trump wins, we may not need this organization anymore. We had no idea how nefarious And determined and dangerous the Democratic Party would become in the past eight years.

So we are. Absolutely welcoming more and more people into our Jewish-Republican alliance because people are waking up and realizing that, as imperfect as the Republican Party is, it's not nearly as dangerous or as insidious as the Democrat Party has become. No, I'm with you on that. And, you know, again, the Jewish community here in Memphis is incredibly large, very involved in politics. Sadly, it's pretty darn liberal.

And I was very impressed, though, to see a huge rally. We must have had over 1,000 people turn out for a rally in support of Israel. I think there were just as many Republicans there as Democrats.

So hopefully, the message is coming through that the Republican Party is a big tent party. It is a big tent party. We're actually free to think for ourselves here. Dissension is allowed. But what we say in the Jewish Republican Alliance is: if you love America and you love Israel, The JRA is your home.

This is where you belong. It doesn't matter if you're Republican, Democrat, Independent, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Atheist. If you love America and have steadfast support for Israel, the JRA is your home, and the Republican Party is far more welcoming And to deny that is to deny reality.

Well, I think you're right about that. And again, folks, the website, JewishRepublicanalliance.org, that's JewishRepublicanalliance.org.

So tell us, what can we expect?

Somebody wants to go to the luncheon this coming Friday. What's going to happen?

Well, we've been doing this. We have chapters springing up all over the nation. And when we moved to the Nashville area a little over a year ago, I realized it was time to open a Nashville chapter.

So again, we have a private room Which is great. The restaurant Buca de Pepo in Franklin, Tennessee, on Galleria Boulevard. And the whole idea is for conservatives to come together, get to know each other, build friendships. We share values. And so you know it's a it's a Vibrant, growing group.

And I joke that we're working on getting fifty percent participation from Jews. 'Cause there's just a lot of uh Israel loving uh Christians in the South and and it's fantastic.

So uh it's for ev people of all stripes and colors and come join us. And the chance to meet you and hear your presentation is Should be enough of incentive for anyone in the national area to come join us this Friday at noon. We're going to have a lot of fun. The jokes are kosher, by the way. I just want to I want to put your mind at ease, Mitch.

But I am concerned. We're not going to be in the Pope room, are we? You know, they got a Pope table there at Buka de Beppo. No, we have a private room, the largest private room there. The service is great.

And more importantly, we have privacy so we can engage with each other, ask you questions. And really what a tult was here we had ahead of us. And as you said earlier, Todd, all hands on deck. The time of shouting at the T V set and throwing the newspaper down and frustration is gone, and now is the time for action. And we have a mantra in the Jewish Republican Alliance, which is stay informed.

Get involved and make a difference. As I tell people here in Memphis, it's time for the bagel and biscuit crowd to come together as one. And, you know, look, we have a lot at stake here. And if we do not stand together, and I, you know, we had this conversation or debate years ago with the Baptists and the Catholics. If we do not set aside our differences and understand that we have this commonality, this thing called freedom, this thing called the Bill of Rights.

And if we do not stand together as one, they're going to be coming after, and they are coming after all of us. And the warning here is: you know, they're coming after the Jews. They're coming after the Christians too. And you gay people out there listening, guess what? They're going to be coming after you as well.

So we've all got to stand together as one. You brought you bring up such amazing points. There's a JRA donor in the Los Angeles area who is Jewish and who is gay. And he told me a year ago, I'm contributing to you guys because if they come for me, they're coming for me first. I'm Jewish and I'm gay.

They're coming from me. You're right, poor fella. Yeah, no, it's true, though.

So, I mean, yeah, we're going to have a lot of laughs on Friday, and we'll have a good time, great fellowship. But we also need to talk about some big issues facing this country. And we have probably the most important election of our lifetime. And, Mitch, it's not just the White House we need to be focused on. We got to be focused on all those state and down ballot races as well.

Absolutely.

The Presidency is crucial, but I'll tell you what, I was very blessed to have a private breakfast with Secretary Mike Pompeo about a year and a half ago. And someone asked him, and he's a heavy-duty guy. You know, and someone said, What can we do to help change this country? And Todd, he literally said, School boards. He said local.

He says you have to fight at the local level because that's where it's so crucial. And I'm hoping that the average person is waking up and saying, wait a minute, what happened to my country? How did the radical left take over this country? It wasn't always like that. And sadly, now it is.

Yeah, you're absolutely right.

So again, this coming Friday, and tell us the time here, Mitch. Yeah, it's one it's twelve o'clock Central Time.

So, anyone coming from East Tennessee, that's one o'clock, but it's twelve o'clock Central Time. You have to register in advance. There's no paying at the door. And as Todd mentioned earlier, it's www.jewishrepublicanalliance. org.

You can click on the link there and pay in advance because there's no No paying at the door. We want to know in advance who's going to be joining us. Oh, that's great. And it's going to be a great lunch. The speech, it'll be okay.

But those meatballs, they're killer. You're too modest. You're too modest. If you're writing and you're speaking, they need to be there.

Well, you're kind to say that, Mitch. We're going to have a lot of fun and looking forward to being with all of you great folks there in the Franklin area, the Nashville area, this coming Friday. Ladies and gentlemen, you should be there. Those of you listening to us in Chattanooga, those of you listening to Memphis, drive over. It's going to be fun.

You're going to have a great lunch, meet a lot of great patriots. And I think we're going to be really encouraged after that luncheon. Mitch, looking forward to it on Friday. Thank you so much, Todd. God bless you.

All right, Mitch Silberman, ladies and gentlemen. He is the co-founder of the Jewish Republican Alliance. And my understanding is they are starting chapters all over America. And it's very exciting to see this movement. And I'm excited to be a part of it.

And it's going to be a lot of fun.

So, all right. Again, our telephone number here: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Back when I was living in Brooklyn, I pretty much, aside from six months in Yonkers, I lived all of my time in New York.

I lived in Brooklyn. and loved it. My first neighborhood, it was in an area called Midwood. and off of the Q-train. And it was a predominantly Jewish neighborhood.

It was like one-third Jewish, one-third panel. Pakistani Muslim. And then one-third Jehovah's Witness. A lot of people didn't realize the Jehovah's Witnesses, their international headquarters at the time, was in Brooklyn. And all that to say, everybody went to their synagogue, mosque, or church on Saturday, which meant I could eat at any restaurant in the neighborhood.

Never had to wait for a table. And then there was me, the Baptist.

So anyway, I noticed right away things are very different when you live in a mostly Jewish neighborhood, and there are a lot of there are just a lot of things that you normally would not see in your neighborhood. And one of the things on Sundown, On the Sabbath, they sound the, here we would call it the tornado siren. And I remember my first time living in Brooklyn that first Friday, and the sirens go off. I was at a market, and there was a police officer, and I, you know, this was just right after 9-11. And I said, oh, are we under attack?

He said, no, no, no, this is sundown. It means you have to get to where you're going because on the Sabbath, and Jewish listeners, you can help me here. I'm a Gentile, so I may get those wrong. But on the Sabbath, you're not allowed to do anything work-related.

So you can't even. Punch an elevator floor. And on many of these elevators, the floors would, all of the elevators would stop on every single floor. They are automatically pre-programmed.

So anyway, um There were also Christians or Gentiles in the neighborhood who would help out uh Jewish people.

So for example, um If somebody needed help getting to synagogue, And you would help them. And that's what I did. There's a name for it. And I hope I do not butcher this, but they would call us a Shabbas Goy. And I was one of those people.

I would go and help. There was a gentleman one day who was in a wheelchair, and you could not push the wheelchair to the synagogue if you were Jewish.

So they would. They asked me to do it, and I became a Shabbos goi. I was very honored to do that. And as look, it's a pretty remarkable thing to see how other people practice their faiths and their religion. And so I pushed this guy to synagogue and.

And that was that.

So, anyway, it's really a unique thing. And all that to say, I had a great and profound respect for other cultures and religions. And it was very interesting moving from the South, where everybody is a Baptist, including the Catholics, to Brooklyn, where you're the only Baptist. And it's really remarkable to see how all of that plays out. Anyway, enough of that.

Let's go to the phones here. Georgia, WDUN, JC on the line. Hi, JC. What's on your mind today? Hey, Todd, enjoy your show.

It's very informative. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. All right. I was calling in.

You had had a gentleman earlier talking about the the situation down in Texas and I like to study history and different things, and it reminded me of the incident that took place at the beginning of the. war between the states when Lincoln went into Maryland and Had one of his militia officers burn a bridge, and then he declared martial law for the state of Maryland so that he could arrest the. standing legislators throwed them in prison to keep Maryland from going with the South. and staying in the north.

So as you think about Texas over here and the january sixth and the different things that went on there, Do you think Biden may create a incident in Texas in order to clear martial law or Just The clear A constitutional crisis all over the whole United States so that he can. Take everyone's guns. Suspend freedom of the press. And Here we go. JC, I see every single thing you just said as a possibility, and it's not out of the realm of possibility.

From something like that happening. I don't think they would have to suspend the press because they're pretty much in the back pocket of these communists who are in control of our government right now. But I would not be surprised if they tried to shut down things like Twitter, Facebook, social media.

So, yeah, I think that's absolutely possible. All right. What about just taking over the whole state of Texas? Yeah, they're going to try that, but that's not going to work. And the question I would have, and I think, you know, Biden's been alluding to this.

He's been threatening people. What is it? The F-he says, yeah, you've got guns, but we've got the F-18s or whatever it was, whatever he said. He was implying that he was going to use fighter jets against the American people. I I think By and large, and maybe we can open up this question to the audience, JC.

I think by and large, if the military was told you're going into Texas and you're going to put down the rebellion of the Texans, I don't think a good number of our military personnel are going to do that. I think they would either lay down their arms and walk away or they would take up arms against the federal government.

So JC, it's a great point you raised, and I appreciate that great history lesson as well. Burning the bridges in Maryland. Google that, folks. It actually happened. Back in the early days before the War of Northern Aggression, as we call it.

All right, I got it. Boy, that's going to tick off some people. Got to take a break. Hour three of the big show coming up next. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun totem, Bible-clanging, deplorable American.

That's right. I love this American ride.

Todd starts.

Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to hour three of the big show. Good to have you with us today. And I want to say hello to all of our great listeners out there across the nation, border to border, coast to coast, across the fruited plain. And also, a very hello to all of our viewers as we simulcast this hour of the show on Newsmax 2.

Well, we are following the big developments out of New Hampshire, where voting is underway. Big concern here, and it's really not a big concern. It's not a major concern, but the Boston Globe is now encouraging independent voters to cross over and vote for Nikki Haley as a protest vote.

So when you're looking at whatever the final totals are coming out, I believe Trump's going to win tonight by a pretty healthy amount. But you have to take into consideration that any support Nikki Haley is getting is actually coming from non-Republican voters. I mean, she is not generating much excitement out there at all. I think a lot of people were turned off by her playing the woman card and also playing the race card.

So we'll see how all of that plays out tonight. Also, we've been following the developments along the The border, the Supreme Court yesterday ruling during this program, the ruling came down that the state of Texas was not allowed to erect razor wire to keep the illegal aliens from entering the country. And we know from Tucker Carlson, and I think Tucker did a pretty good job of conveying the sentiment of the American people. Where are the men of Texas at right now? Why are they not standing up and what are they going to do?

Now the governor says, Greg Abbott says the fight is not over, and the Texas Department of Public Safety seemed to indicate that they would not be removing any of that razor wire. But the question is, what are they going to do if the government agents come in and try to remove that wire? Will they take those government agents into custody? And if that happens, What's the next step here? Will the government send in the military?

And we had an interesting caller in the last hour, and he rightly pointed out the developments that led to the actual fighting of the Civil War.

Now We still have a little bit of court wiggle room here, right?

So this could go back to the Supreme Court. That's what Abbott meant by saying the fight is not over. But what happens if the Supreme Court does eventually come out and say that the states individually? Do not have a right to protect themselves from invasion. What do we do then?

Now I'm not a betting man. But I would be willing to say at that point. you would have an overwhelming number of people in the Lone Star State that would be calling for secession from the Union. The fact that we're talking about this now shows you how serious of a situation this is. We are on the verge of a constitutional crisis here, ladies and gentlemen, and by constitutional crisis, I'm specifically speaking of Article four, Section four, which requires the Federal Government to protect and defend states from invaders.

So the question now is, what happens next?

Well, there's still a court fight underway, and we'll be following those developments. But I'm curious, ladies and gentlemen, to hear from you and our Newsmax Viewing audience What do you recommend the state of Texas do here? Our telephone number is 901-260-5926. Again, that number on the screen, 901-260-5926, and we'll be taking your calls about that. In the first hour of the show, we interviewed Senator Ted Cruz, and he is fired up about all of this.

I would encourage you to go over to our website and download the podcast, and you'll be able to listen to that conversation. All right, uh wanna play some audio here. Going back to New Hampshire. Where Vivek Ramaswamy, who is going to be on our Newsmax show a little bit later on today, Ramaswamy leading the crowd in a thunderous chant, let's take a listen. If you want to seal the border, vote Trump.

If you want to restore law and order in this country, vote Trump. If you want to defeat the deep state, vote Trump. If you want to fight inflation, vote Trump. If you want to revive national pride in this country, vote Trump. If you want to revive our national identity in this country, vote Trump.

If you want to make America great again, vote Trump. That's how we're going to win this in a landslide in November, like Reagan delivered in 1980. And I believe him. I tell you, that guy's a fighter. He is scrappy, and he's doing a great job for Donald Trump right now.

Let's see, I suspect we're going to see this guy in some role in the administration. By the way, Nikki Haley. She's getting trolled, it is so bad. She just, wow.

So here's some back and forth. Nikki Haley was. She was asked a question out on the campaign trail. And let's see, I have lost. Oh, here we go.

Cut number two. But you know what, we've got a lot on the line here. We really do. And you look at what's happening in this election. Isn't there any mean?

Yeah. Are you going to vote for me? Get out of here. Wow.

So she's only going to marry Mary Haley supporters. All right. There you go. Poor Nikki Haley. Wow.

What a mess.

Meanwhile, you've got a lot of New Hampshire voters out there saying Trump is their guy, cut number 12. I changed my vote this morning. Instead of voting for Haley, I voted for Donald Trump. You changed your vote this morning. Why?

You have a good day. I think the election, the primary is over. I think that Mr. Trump's going to be our next candidate. And a lot of other people do as well.

If there's a landslide in New Hampshire, there's no way Haley can continue. But she probably is only because there is a major fundraising effort underway among establishment Republicans who want to try and stop Donald Trump.

So we'll keep you updated on those developments. Also, a growing talk, and you heard it here first, folks. Michelle Obama may be getting ready to make her move. I think it's still too soon. There's no reason for her to do anything until the Democrat convention in Chicago.

Where at that point, I think you will see an even more diminished Joe Biden. And by the way, Kamala Harris is slap crazy nuts. I mean, I don't know what the problem is with her. But maybe she was smoking a little doobie back in the day and it's coming back to bite her in the brain. I don't know.

But something is not right with that woman. It's just very odd. Let's go to the phones here. 901-260-5926. Ed in Missouri, watching us on Newsmax Two, wants to weigh in on what happened at the Supreme Court.

Hi, Ed. What's on your mind? I'm just curious. Why in the heck would the Supreme Court, everybody in the United States knows? that the border is a crisis, why would they even consider removing that?

Brazier wire. It's a fine question. And the Supreme Court did not give us any answer to that question, Ed. There were no opinions attached to the ruling, so we don't know the answer to that. But it could be that they're wanting the lower court to work out whatever the issue is, and that may be the case.

And that's, by the way, is what Greg that's what the governor is talking about. But I'm with you. There's no reason why Texas cannot defend itself from the invading horde. None whatsoever. Exactly.

That was really the reason for the Civil War. It wasn't over slavery. It was over we the South wanted to. separate from the union. Basically, what Texas is wanting, isn't it?

Well, yes, and no. I mean, you know, the Civil War was about slavery, but it was about a lot of other issues. And I think as far as the average Southerner goes, the average Southerner did not own slaves.

So for them, it was a matter of states' rights. It was a matter of taxation without representation, to borrow a phrase from the Revolutionary War.

So, yeah, there were a lot of issues, and slavery was one of those issues. But I will say this, Ed: if you've got a state and the government, the federal government, will not do its fiduciary responsibility, which is protecting it from invasion, then I say at that point, you have to take a very long, hard, serious look at seceding from the Union. Yeah, I agree with you, I really do, I mean. that they got to realize that the South was where everything was grown at back in the day. And uh That was one of the reasons they wanted to separate from the union.

We've been thinking of the taxation deal. The taxes were off the charts. And again, a lot of people tried to diminish the states' rights issue, but they were all big issues. Slavery was a huge issue, especially for those southern plantation owners who had all of that free labor out there or enslaved labor. And again, we cannot, and this is the problem when people whitewash history, American history, is that you truly do not understand what led to some of these big conflicts.

Ed, appreciate the call. Thank you for watching. Let's go to Terrence, who is hanging out with us from Texas. Terrence, wh what do you what do you want the governor of your state to do? Yeah, Todd.

I'm a little bit about this. I've been in Texas now for two years. I used to live in Phoenix. We saw we saw the takeover down there in Arizona. And uh Yeah, I live I live far north.

uh in northern Texas and up in uh fan handle area. Uh but This um This decision to cut the wire, I think you're messing with the wrong people. Texans are a different breed. Um You're absolutely right that this is going to be the start of something big. And they're They're uh They're just waiting for something to happen in the state.

Terrence, I think the American people need to understand what we're dealing with, and we will do our best on this radio program moving forward to explain we are not dealing with progressives, we're not dealing with leftists, we're not dealing with wackadoodle snowflakes, we are dealing with communists, and they want to destroy this great nation, and we cannot allow that to happen. And one of the ways to do that is to bring in a lot of people from these communist countries into the United States of America. That's what's happening in your state right now. Yes, I believe they're already here, Todd. I'm a Navy veteran of twenty one years.

I've retired, and I'll tell you, it makes me sick to see what they're doing deliberately to this country. Especially at the higher levels. I just can't believe it. We really need Trump back in there. We we need to clean the house and take care of the problems at the border for sure.

This will be the election of our lifetime. It truly will. And this will decide the future direction of this country. That's how serious. This race is, and the president understands that.

I think the people in New Hampshire understand it. I think the people in Iowa understood it, and they sent a resounding message to the rest of the country.

So, Terrence, you hang in there. And I think, look, I'm a Tennessean, and you know, whenever you guys need help, we're always happy to come down there and pull y'all's fat out of the fire. We've got a long history of doing that, but I can guarantee you there will be a lot of Tennessee volunteers in the Lone Star State. Yeah, I'm originally from California, Todd, and I'm tired of moving.

So I think Texas is a and there's no reason for you to move from Texas. And if it's getting to that point, we've got a big problem in this country. Terrence, God bless you. Thank you for watching, and we appreciate that. You know what?

We're going to take a break. When we come back, we're opening up the phone lines this hour of the show. Coming up a little bit later, we're going to be checking in with Caleb Park. He is live, boots on the ground in New Hampshire. Also, Vivek Ramaswamy out on the campaign trail, and he'll be phoning into the show as well.

Hang tight, everybody. This is the Todd Starge Show. All right. Welcome back, everybody, to the Todd Starred Show. Trust you're doing well today.

Again, our telephone number is 901-260-5926. Let's go to the phone lines. Robert in Texas. All right, Robert, you're a Texan. What do you think the governor ought to be doing here?

He should be. Um asking for all veterans, a call for all veterans to report to the border. I will report to him as soon as he Yes. Is that right?

So you're saying if the call goes out for volunteers from your governor, Robert. You're going to be there. Yes. Yes, we all Americans have a right to defend our country, that's under the Constitution. I took a oath I was in the Navy, your last caller is exactly what I did.

I was from California. I just retired in May. My kids were here in Texas. I moved to Texas 'Cause I want to be with my grandkids. And I'll defend our country here.

If I have to. Robert, I think a lot of people that are listening right now are cheering in their cars, in their offices. And I can promise you this, I suspect, and I may be wrong here, but I don't think I am. I suspect you're going to have a lot of American citizens that would be willing to travel to Texas to stand alongside you and your fellow Texans as you guys defend the border. I believe that.

Yes, I would. I You know, they put me in a tent or bunk me, feed me. I don't care. And I'll defend it. Robert, I'm curious.

You don't sound like you're 18 or 19. How old are you, Robert? Seventy one years old, and you're willing to take up arms. Yep, I can still walk, I can still move around, I'm fine. And I'm not going to run because my knees are bent.

Well, you can't do you. You've got to watch those knees. They're the first thing that goes. But. Um Well, I had 'em.

Welcome. Orthoscopic, then I can walk, but I just learned that. But the point is, Robert, you're standing your ground. I'm not running anywhere. Good for you.

Robert, God bless you. You're an American patriot, sir, and let's hope it doesn't come to that. But I will say this: the reporting just in from the Texas border, there are Texas Department of Public Safety employees that are redeploying the razor wire in defiance of the federal government at this hour.

So there you have it. A lot of video is surfacing on social media that the razor wire fencing is going back. In defiance of Of the federal government. And I don't know about you, ladies and gentlemen, but I stand with Texas, and we stand with our great Texas listeners. Let's go to.

Pennsylvania, Rodney, you're on the line. What say you, sir? Thanks for taking my call. I also agree with your last uh uh caller there. I I'm in Pennsylvania, but I am a Texan and it If I have to, I'll go to Texas to defend it.

But the reason I was calling is because I you know, this is uh very quickly could become another Another um common Texas moment, especially when you said earlier that What if The the uh Biden sends in Federal troops to Uh enforce taken down I w that wire, you know, Texans will will defend it. And I think DPS will as well.

So There could be a flash point there. And they that could be real real dangerous. But All Texans are going to defend Texas.

Well said, Rodney, and I believe that others will join in that cause. And you're right, I think there could be a flashpoint.

So we're going to have to be pay very close attention. We've got to be cool, calm and collected about all of this. But at the end of the day, ladies and gentlemen, We cannot allow the federal government to be turned into a dictatorship. We just can't let that happen. All right, we've got to take a break here.

901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starn, sir. Yeah. All right, welcome back, everybody, to the Tom Stearns Radio Show, Dylan.

Where's Dylan? Dylan, turn your mic on. Dylan, are you there? Hello. Hello, Celin.

How is Lydia doing? You know, Lydia is our new call screener. We're going to get her on the air in the next couple of weeks. But she's running the calls, and it's been full lines for the past, I don't know, 45 minutes. Has she passed out yet?

She's still here. Does she need water, refreshment? She might need a cup of coffee, Todd. All right. Well, we can do that.

We can handle the coffee. Yeah. It's look, folks, you got to be gentle with Miss Lydia. She's just getting her legs about her.

So Yep. It's the third hour, Todd. It is. It is the third hour. It's the one that always does it.

That's right. All right. Thank you. All right. Just checking.

Welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Program. Happy to have you with us. And, ladies and gentlemen, very excited about the brand new book coming up. I think this is book number eight. And a lot of people are always shocked when I say this.

I write all of my own books. That's a little unusual in the conservative world where a lot of these talk radio hosts actually used ghostwriters. And I'm not going to name names. I'm just not one of them. And for one thing, it's hard to find a ghostwriter who can actually use Jesus Lou correctly in a sentence.

So there you go. The new book is called Twilight's Last Gleaming. Can America Be Saved? We're going to be debuting the book on the Huckabee's TV show, but we would love for you to get an advanced copy, a pre-ordered copy. And you can do that by going to Amazon or your favorite bookstore and ordering a copy or two and give one.

To a liberal friend. And I can promise you this: people are going to convert to the conservative way of life after reading this book. I can guarantee it. All right, let's go to the phone lines. Chattanooga, Tennessee, John is hanging out with us today.

Hi, John. What's on your mind? Well I am curious if any if you or anybody else, I it I'm not getting the Supreme Court ruling. It it seems upside down to me. And It it's also clear to me.

That the Biden administration is not following the law. In fact, I think they're probably breaking the law. by not enforcing the law. uh in Texas and and wherever else they're not enforcing things. Is there a way do is there a mechanism to make the federal government Enforce the law and and obey the law.

And it's just a question. I don't have an answer. Sure.

Well, the Supreme Court doesn't make the law. That's the responsibility of Congress here. And so we don't have a lot of explanation or insight into why the Supreme Court ruled the way they did, John, because they did not offer an opinion. There was not a dissenting opinion. We know how the justices voted, but we really don't have any insight into why they did what they did.

Now, the question is going to be, and this is, and I'm just sharing this with you. I don't agree with this interpretation, but there are many in the government who interpret Article 4, Section 4, as being a military invasion from another country. I disagree with that. I believe that what we are seeing at our southern border is a multinational attempt and a coordinated attempt to. To infiltrate our nation.

And regardless, when you've got that many people coming across the border. That to me is the definition and fits the definition of invasion. Yeah. You've got you've got the Constitution. But You've also got the regular immigration laws.

Beyond that, that are being violated.

Well, of course. And nobody wants to hold the Biden administration accountable. And John, this has been one of my pet peeves with the Republicans in Congress. What have they done to hold this administration accountable? They've done nothing.

Alejandro Mayorkas has yet to be impeached for and he's the guy ultimately that's in charge of what's happening at the border right now. And we can't even impeach that guy, and the Republicans have a majority in the Congress. Yeah, oh. Here's another Aside, I called Congressman Flashman's office the other day asked if he was going to vote. To keep the The border open.

I was told he was going to vote not to. And I heard on your show two people call in and say the opposite. Um of that. And I'm wondering how did he really vote? I'll check that locally here.

But I appreciate your time today. John, well, thank you for watching us. And by the way, be sure to listen to my national show. We're broadcasting there on Nouga Radio in the Chattanooga area. You can listen to all three hours of the radio show.

Appreciate you hanging out with us. And John asks a lot of important questions, and it can be exasperating. It really can, but until we get some insight from the justices, we're really not going to go. But it really doesn't matter to me. It really doesn't matter.

And again, the breaking news, and we have just posted the video up on ToddSterns.com. We now have video of the Texas National Guard erecting even more razor wire fencing at the border. Good for you, Governor Abbott. Good for you, sir. All right.

Let's go to Susan in Alaska. Hi, Susan. How are you, and what's on your mind today? I'm doing fine. I'm very concerned about the border.

Um yeah, I live in Alaska, but my brother lives down in uh the southern right on the southern border. And he said That the whole border, the whole southern border needs to be closed. Majorca's not doing its job. Biden's not doing his job. Can Congress go ahead and close the border?

If they had any guts?

Well, no. I believe in the razor wire too. I I whatever I mean, no one's doing their job, so Texas is going to have to protect itself. Absolutely.

They may not understand what they're dealing with here, but this is a very dangerous. Position that the administration is taking. And my hat is off to you, you got Ducey over there and James Rosen from Newsmax. Those two guys are asking the tough questions at these White House press briefings. But I'm not sure it's sinking in just yet, Susan, how angry the American people are.

And I think we have reached a boiling point, and especially these areas like Chicago Southside, places in New York City, Brooklyn, where the illegals are literally being shipped by the hundreds, if not thousands. And now they've got to deal with the same problem that Texans have been dealing with.

So I think the administration has completely missed the mark on all of this.

Well, they're going to have to do something because this is an invasion. And we have to be protected. And the federal government's not doing their job.

So, the states need to take hold and go ahead and stop this invasion. And that's exactly what it is. We have to close the border, totally close it. Yes, we do, Susan. I'm with you 1,000% there.

Susan, thank you for watching us today on Newsmax 2. Let's go to Kevin in Texas.

Now, Kevin, I'm curious, what part of Texas are you in? In the middle part of Texas where um the slavery was last um. voted out here.

So you're in Texas. What's your reaction to what the Supreme Court did and the governor's response there?

Well, I think that the Supreme Court is just like the rest of the federal government. They are treasonous. They are here to take down this country and they're treasonous and this every state has to fend for themselves because the federal government's not going to do that. They're certainly not. I'm curious what you are hearing from your neighbors.

When you talk to people, are folks pretty upset at what's happening with this open border? Oh, yes, they are. Even the Hispanics in the neighborhood that came here legally are are upset because not only do they have to go through the process and They are proud to be U. S. citizens and did it the legal way that this is being handed over and it's taken Um like somebody else had said, it took their the pride that they um For them.

for what they did to get here and to be happy to be here in America. All right. Well, Kevin, I appreciate you calling in, and you guys hang tough. I know there are a lot of people out there that are supporting the great state of Texas. And again, the breaking news in response to the Supreme Court ruling: more border wire is now going up at the border there in Texas.

Let's go to Bill in North Carolina, who's listening to us on WSIC in North Carolina. Hi, Bill. What's up? Hey, John. I can't tell you how much I agree with the previous couple callers about the Texas border situation, but I just want to say that it's my belief.

being a semi intelligent observer, that this whole thing is contrived. I would even say it's been planned. I think the government is looking for an opportunity To be able to force their will on the people wholesale. nationwide And I think this is going to get out of control if I know Texas, and I think I do. I think this is going to get out of control to the point where you may see some sort of a conflict.

Texas is just simply not going to p and neither is the rest of the country either. But piggybacking on that, I think part of the problem Again, as an observer, is that President Trump made a Grave error. when he became our Commander in Chief, and not cle completely cleaning out the grunge in DC. I think he should have came in. And just absolutely Smoked them out, found every single one of them, and forced them out of the government.

By hook or crook, Bill, I don't think it was a mistake. I just think it was so massive that not even Donald Trump understood the true magnitude of the rot within our federal government. But I will say this: he knows now. And when he gets back into that White House, and again, this is why people are terrified of Donald Trump. When he gets back to the White House bill, he's going to have to address that: defunding, dismantling the FBI, dismantling the Internal Revenue Service, the Justice Department.

Doing away, eradicating the Department of Education. These are things that have to be done if we're going to save this country. Absolutely.

And I think part of the Part of the strategy here is that it'll probably take him four years to get that job done. And whether or not he'll be able to focus on that, which I think is the prime objective here or not.

Well, Bill, let me say this, and we're super late for a break, so I'm going to have to wrap this up. But let me say this, and thank you for listening to WSIC, our great radio affiliate. Let me say this. The President knows What has to be done? And he will do it.

Will it be able to get accomplished in four years? I don't know. Which is why we've got to be looking towards 2028, who are the next generation America first lawmakers who are going to be able to carry the mantle of Donald John Trump into the next election cycle. All right, got to take a break here, folks. 901-260-5926.

We'll be right back. All right, Five Graham Aswami is coming up on the Tot Sterns Newsmax show. That'll be coming up at the top of the hour. Also, we're going to be checking in with Newsmax's Caleb Park doing a terrific job covering the primary in New Hampshire. But right now, back to the phones, full lines.

We're not going to be able to get to all of your calls. We're going to do our best and hang tight because we'll try to get to some of your calls during the TV show. I want to go to Gina in Connecticut. Hi, Gina. What's on your mind today?

Hi, how are you today? I'm well. Thank you for asking, Gina. Um I I 100% agree with everybody that you've had on your show so far. What I don't understand, which is so frustrating.

Biden has been in office for over three years now. He has Okay. Last day. Done everything wrong legally with what's going on with the border as far as rape. Um people getting beat up.

All the can't, I don't understand why this man and his administration is not in contempt. Why Naorcus hasn't been impeached, why are we not doing anything? Donald Trump crosses the road the wrong way, and they want to put him in jail for jaywalking. I just don't understand what has gone on for all these years, and yet we are continuing to let the administration get away with it and the media. lets them get away with it and and constantly covers up for him.

I i it's it's disgusting. I mean, you've got a son that you know cocaine was in the White House. And yet we had no cameras to prove it. Yeah, Gina, let me jump in here and try to answer your question. And I don't think you're going to like the answer.

Is that the Republicans have spines of a jellyfish? They don't have the courage to do what needs to be done. I mean, just think about this, Gina. You have lawmakers on Capitol Hill. They've been coming on my radio program for at least the past six or seven months saying that terrorists have crossed our border.

There are sleeper cells in this country. It is a matter of when, not if, we have a terrorist attack on American soil. If that is true, Gina, then they are literally turning a blind eye to what could be a catastrophic 9-11 event on American soil. But they just don't care. And that's a big, big problem.

They just don't care. And I'm not sure. Maybe the Republicans are just not used to being leaders. They're not in a leadership position, and they're more happy being the loud vocal minority. Maybe that's it.

But, Gina, we've got to change that, and we've got to start electing more America first lawmakers, not only to the House of Representatives, but also to the U.S. Senate. But, Gina, you're absolutely right to be disgusted. All right. Let's go to Jane in North Carolina.

Hi, Jane. What's on your mind? What's on my mind is the border. There is a take our border back convoy, which starts on the twenty ninth of January and concludes in a peaceful assembly. on the third of February at Eagle Pass, Texas.

If we want more information, go to take our boarderback.com. And you're going to Jane, you're going to want to listen to the show. I believe tomorrow we're working, Grace Baker, my executive producer, working to get those folks, the organizers, on the program tomorrow.

So you're going to definitely want to listen to the show tomorrow. Right. All right, Jane, appreciate you sharing that information real quick. Let's go to Morris in Texas. Morris, you got 60 seconds.

Go. I just want to let you all know that I stand with Governor Abbott and his right and duty to protect the citizens of Texas, also with the landowners down there on the border who under the Castle law in Texas have the right to protect their land and property.

Well said, Morris, and I'm with you 1,000% there. And it's shameful that you have so many of these ranchers along the border that are not allowed or are punished for simply defending their property against the invading horde of illegals. It's just unacceptable. But, Morris, I can promise you this: there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of Americans who are willing to stand alongside the good people of Texas, and we appreciate you calling in.
