Ep 426 | Conservatives Sandwiched Between Stupid, Evil, Unfocused, and Erratic Figures Jun 05, 2019

Show notes

When it comes to the border, we the people are stuck with the lowest common denominator of Democrats evil, Republican stupidity, unfocused conservative media distractions, and the president’s good intuition but erratic behavior and messaging.

On today’s show, I explain why Trump is wrong to push tariffs instead of the other things we are pushing but why Senate Republicans are absolutely disgusting to criticize him and undermine him in light of their lack of solutions. I also update you on the latest border numbers and some good news on interior enforcement.

Ep 425 | The Story of the ICE Agent Who Survived the 'Mexico Benghazi' Jun 04, 2019

Show notes

We are joined by Victor Avila, the ICE special agent who survived the attack by the Zetas cartel on February 15, 2011, while his partner, Jaime Zapata, was killed in the line of duty. He recounts the riveting details of the attack. His story leaves many disturbing and unanswered questions about our government’s conduct before, during, and after the incident. Rather than being treated like a hero, Avila was pushed out into early retirement, was never debriefed, and was viewed as expendable. This very much resembles Benghazi in certain respects.

This is part one of the story. In a subsequent episode, we'll further discuss the story of Avila after the attack and why it still matters to this day.

Ep 424 | Has America Become a Third World Country? Jun 03, 2019

Show notes

America now fits the definition of a Third World country, at least as it relates to having control over our own territory and protecting the citizenry from invaders. Unlike traditional Third World countries, it’s not that we lack the resources, but we lack the political will to defend our sovereignty. I update you on the health concerns coming to our border and the fact that Angola does a better job on closing its border to Ebola than we do.

Moreover, we are like a Third World country because we refuse to enforce our laws, including the most important ones protecting Americans.

Ep 423 | Why Ask Mexico to Do the Job the American Government Can and Must Do? May 31, 2019

Show notes

Trump’s frustration with Mexico is understandable, but why ask the Mexican government to secure their border instead of securing our own? The threat of tariffs against Mexico will backfire and won’t work anyway; I explain why. Then I give the speech that Trump should deliver to the American people on the Constitution: It's not a suicide pact. What would Scalia say about the border today? We know exactly what he would say.

Finally, a lightning round of “Free-Flowing Friday,” updating you on this weeks important news stories.

Ep 422 | We Have an Afghanistan-Style Insurgency at Our Border May 30, 2019

Show notes

A briefing on immigration and how laws don’t seem to matter for illegal aliens as they do for Americans. In fact, our government not only ignores those laws but regularly helps illegal aliens with taxpayer funds to skirt them. Compare that to Americans and driving laws and tax laws.

The reality is that this is no longer an immigration issue at our border; this is an insurgency issue that requires the military. I give you exclusive data and information on the border that will show that we are dealing with the equivalent of al Qaeda at our border in the form of the cartels. The same way the Muslim Brotherhood has successfully subverted some people living in our country, the cartel culture has subverted parts of the Rio Grande Valley.

Ep 421 | Trump’s Leverage: The Veto Pen, the Bully Pulpit, and Executive Power May 29, 2019

Show notes

Trump has three leverage points that, if effectively mixed together, can change the course of history on issue like crime, immigration, budget, and the courts. Those are: the veto pen, the bully pulpit, and executive actions. But if they are left unused, his presidency will fail, even if he gets a second term.

Not only is Trump’s lurch to the left on the 1994 crime bill wrong on data, it’s bad messaging. He could use the bully pulpit to explain his previously held position that weak-on-crime laws actually hurt black people more than anyone else.

Next, our border briefing. The president could be using executive actions, the bully pulpit, and a veto threat to make this issue a national security problem that requires military intervention. This needs to happen; the president can do it; and it will refocus the public in a way that will bring the border issue to the front.

Ep 420 | Why a Good Judge Is No Match for a Bad Judge May 28, 2019

Show notes

On today’s show, I explain once and for all why we will never beat the Left on judicial supremacy by simply “appointing better judges,” once we agree to legitimize their rulings.

Over the weekend, another California judge claimed to place an injunction on border wall construction. This is the perfect opportunity for Trump to finally dismantle judicial supremacy, yet instead, he legitimizes it by noting that his only option is to appeal.

Next, I use several decisions and orders from today’s Supreme Court releases to show why placing our hopes in a “conservative” Supreme Court to reverse bad lower court opinions upon appeal is a fool’s errand.

Finally, I touch on Trump going off message on crime by pursuing a talking point instead of the right policy, thereby achieving neither.

Ep 419 | The Border Invasion Will Cause a Wave of Crime We’ve Never Seen Before May 24, 2019

Show notes

We are becoming like the Tories. Trump was our last chance to change the GOP, but instead, the GOP is changing him. I explain why the betrayal on the latest disaster spending bill is worse than you think and will reverberate for the rest of this presidency.

Next, we're joined by Jaeson Jones, our resident expert on the cartels, to brief us on the long-term effects of this border invasion. “We’ve never seen anything like this, where we now have smuggling and criminality even after they surrender to border agents,” said Jones. This is a game-changer: Cartels make the aliens indebted to them and use their resources on our soil to exact the debt out of them. “The American people will be hit with a crime wave not seen before,” warned Jones. “The American people would be stunned if they would see how the cartel moves in and out.”

Ep 418 | When Will We Stop Fighting Over Fake Fights? May 23, 2019

Show notes

We fight over fighting in Washington, but don’t fight over real meaningful outcomes.

On today’s show, I demonstrate how the two sides are awfully close together when it comes to judicial philosophy. There are now Republican judicial nominees who believe that opposing gay marriage is a violation of civil rights and the “conservative” legal movement has no problem with it.

I also discuss the controversy over Justin Amash and how both sides are missing the point.

Ep 417 | The Burden of Open Borders Falling on Local Officials May 22, 2019

Show notes

Guess who will pay for the mistakes of our federal government regarding the border crisis? The local communities. Sheriff Leon Wilmot has been in the Yuma County Sheriff’s Department for 32 years and has been the elected sheriff since 2013. He joins us today to update us on how his county is being slammed with a migration bigger than the size of the native population. The local shelters and health care resources are strained doing the job of the federal government.

The bottom line, according to Wilmot, is that absent any deterrent to law-breakers, they will keep coming. Drugs are coming in both at the points of entry and in the desert.

Also, the sheriff gives us the truth about the threat of contagious diseases that the federal government refuses to talk about.

“We don’t need politicians to come down here for a photo op,” said Wilmot. “We need them to fix the problem.”
