This is a major theme in the video - the standoff between Texas and the federal government over securing the border and addressing illegal immigration.

💡standoff

The 'standoff' refers to the current disagreement and tensions between the state of Texas and the federal government regarding border security and immigration policies. It arose after Texas deployed its own security measures like razor wire fencing, which the federal government ordered to be removed. This standoff represents the broader debate over states' rights vs federal authority on immigration.

💡border barriers

'Border barriers' refers to physical infrastructure like fences, walls, razor wire etc. erected along the US-Mexico border to prevent illegal entry. Texas has been setting up such barriers, which the federal government wants removed. Their efficacy in securing the border is debated in the video.

💡Take Back Our Border Convoy

The 'Take Back Our Border Convoy' is a planned movement of vehicles, law enforcement, veterans etc. traveling to border regions in Texas, Arizona and California to protest the lack of federal action on immigration and call for better border security. It represents citizen activism on this divisive issue.

💡border security

The term 'border security' encompasses measures and policies aimed at securing national borders against threats like illegal immigration, smuggling, terrorism etc. Improving security along the US-Mexico border is a major theme, with disagreement on whether states like Texas or federal agencies should lead on it.

protest and pray this Saturday are these

type of actions valuable do you think in

getting Washington's

attention well I do think they're

valuable and they should be valuable

because what we what's in Washington

should be representatives of we the

people and if we the people are saying

we're upset our Representatives should

be listen listening to us unfortunately

this Administration has proven time and

and it helps slow down people crossing

keep it in place so Sheriff what is your

assessment of the State of Texas versus

Federal standoff at the

border well I agree with both of them I

think Lieutenant Patrick's right they've

secured they've secured that portion go

somewhere else um you know and christe

NES right as well in supporting them I

too support them I think this is a

challenge that's been long overdue uh

the federal government has failed to

protect us from an invasion which is

their constitutional responsibility and

we as state officials and state

Governors and we have the right and

responsibility to also protect our

citizens and when the federal government

fails to do it i' like to see the state

stepping up I just wish Arizona would

have would have stood with uh Texas as

well and maybe hopefully our governor

comes around hopefully that happens now

you're running for the Republican Senate

nomination there in Arizona one of your

opponents of course is car Lake what was

your reaction to the explosive audio she

released that forced the state GOP

director to

resign you know there's a couple things

I I keep hearing the term uh uh bribery

bribery can only exist with a uh elected

official or a party official but you

know what I saw was just more chaos and

what we cannot have as more chaos in

this world we're seeing it all

throughout this country we're not immune

to it here in Arizona in the end of the

day on Saturday we got a good uh

chairman Gina swaboda who's going to do

an awesome job but when we talk about

chaos we need people like myself who

understand what it means to restore

balance in order to chaos that's what we

do in law enforcement every day we're

expected to show up to a call for

service and begin to restore balance and

order to whatever chaotic situation

there is and I hope to be one of those

people for the people of Arizona

somebody that can start to restore

balance and order to the chaos that we

not only see across the country but even

within our own State now Sheriff why did

you decide to run and What Makes You the

Right candidate for Arizona senator in

these days and

times well there's a Danish saying that

says Whoever has the ability has the

responsibility when I look at the issues

of Border crime the economy National

Security you know I spent nearly two

decades fighting crime I have spent the

last seven years going on my eth year

fighting the the border security I have

spent uh the last seven eight years

balancing a budget between 60 million

and $100 million with over 60 600

employees and I have consistently I

think more border security and National

Security are intertwined so when you

talk about who re who has the most

ability I think I bring the most ability

and I feel the responsibility to do it
