It's Friday, January 26th, 2024, and this Friday is a little different. I'll tell you more in just a few moments.

Before I tell you what we're doing a little different today, I just want to give you an update on a story we've been following all week and that comes out of Texas.

Now, 25 governors from across the country, all of them Republicans have signed onto a joint letter

voicing their support for one Governor Greg Abbott of Texas in his battle bucking the White House, Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security,

doing what he can, at least for now, to secure certain sections of the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas.

Also, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in some of his legal battles against the White House and the Biden administration.

He has indeed invoked Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution,

which yesterday I told you about some critics who claimed he was not doing so. So that's obviously

a positive development. I'm not sure if this is a watershed moment. We'll see in America's

relationships, specifically the state's relationship with the federal government, I hope it is. At the very

least, this entire escapade does one thing, and I think it's pretty positive. At least in the

spheres of influence, at least in the spheres of reaching audiences like this one, it's normalizing

one thing. And that one thing is normalizing talk of disobeying unjust rulings,

unjust laws, unjust policies. That's a really, really good thing. For too long,

even the American right has operated under the assumption that the courts have spoken,

and that's the final word, even though the courts themselves may violate the Constitution. Now, what Governor Abbott here is doing is not necessarily

rebelling against that Supreme Court ruling from earlier this week. That ruling just said

that Biden administration could cut that razor wire, but we are creeping up on that moment,

and I hope Texas will follow through, especially with all of this outpouring of support

from Republican governors across the country. Anyway, what we're going to do today is something I like

to call ask or tell me anything. I've been wanting to do something like this for quite a while,

just building some engagement, getting to know some of the listeners of this podcast. And last
