Now they want to have the other argument, which is now we're going to thwart enforcement so that you, the people of Texas, have to be put in danger because we refuse to secure the state of Minnesota or any other state that has a similar track record.

So if they're going to upend the rule of law, then we, the people of Texas, and as leaders in Texas, are going to have to make decisions about what are we going to do to protect our own people.

So that would raise those questions.

Where are you coming from?

Why are you coming into the state of Texas?

And where are you from?

And whether or not they should be coming into the state of Texas.

Look, I have said and the Freedom Caucus yesterday said in the letter we put out that we believe that the president would be well within his rights to invoke the Insurrection Act, which dates back over 200 years, for justice purpose to make sure that we can stop this interference.

By the way, we can use any number of federal laws, from obstruction of justice to specific laws on the books that can be enforced against people interfering with carrying out law enforcement.

But again, I just want to remind you, Glenn, I mean, because

And I don't want to speak for you, but I suspect we're simpatico here that we do not like the raw power of the federal government being used to come into.

And I'm not looking to go empower massive federal law individual.

That's not how I'm wired.

And I don't think that's good in this case.

The sovereignty of the nation and our ability to, what I said before, I know it's somewhat controversial, our ability to exist as a nation, okay, and to unite requires us to stop the madness and to stop the lack of enforcement of the law.

And to your point about the fraud, that's a part of it too, right?

That they are stealing money from us in the form of fraud, both taxpayer-funded money as well as borrowed money,

to then fund people who are here whether they're here legally or illegally it's both in order to continue to prop them up and then prevent us from enforcing the law to not have dangerous individuals or people under you know order to be removed who are using up resources both legitimate and illegitimate and that destroys the country like glenn we won't have a country left

So we either win this battle right now.

We either rally around the president and say enforce the law, enforce the sovereignty of the country, and do it right.
