Law enforcement investigating a potential arson attack on the New Mexico state GOP headquarters. And what's really behind President Trump's third term talk? A possible media troll? All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update. As President Trump is settling into his new administration, one of the top Democrats in Congress aiming to undermine the Trump agenda is Democrat Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois. And according to our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, Senator Durbin has a new plan, a government takeover of your credit card. Today, Americans have thousands of choices in credit cards, but they say Senator Durbin's plan will result in less competition and less security, which means more risk for your credit and your identity.

In Wisconsin, that's a 50-50 race because we know Wisconsin's a 50-50 state. Whoever wins is going to determine who has the majority in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Why is that important? Because There are gerrymandered congressional lines right now in Wisconsin. As soon as possible, we need to be able to revisit that. The only way for that to be even a significant possibility is if you have an enlightened Supreme Court. And so, you know, I think that's an incredibly important race.

the very important election for Judge Simmel. Most people don't even know that there's an election at all. They think it's, well, it's just, you know, some kind of judicial thing that's not that important. But actually, what's happening on Tuesday is a vote for which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives. That is why it is so significant. And whichever party controls the House, to a significant degree, controls the country, which then steers the course of Western civilization. Currently, the Dems are 100,000 votes ahead. But actually, if the people that voted for President Trump simply vote on Tuesday, we will win. That's actually all it takes. Just vote. Boom. Done. Victory.
