What is the president's most important job? What do you think it should be?
He literally swears an oath to uphold the Constitution, which is designed in part to "provide for the common defense." Millions of Americans expect the president and his administration, first and foremost, to protect our nation and its people.
According to retired U.S. Army Brig. General Anthony Tata, President Biden and top aides like Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas are simply "not serious" people and they are not serious about the duties they've been given.
Gen. Tata, who served 28 years in uniform and at the Pentagon during the Trump administration, joins Sara and walks us through the manifold security failures under Biden's watch. They assess everything from the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle to U.S. intelligence completely whiffing on Hamas planning to attack Israel to the egregious failure to secure our southern border.
He also denounces Biden's insistence on playing nice with Iran and explains why Sec. Austin is a "political windsock" for agreeing to promote woke ideologies in our Armed Forces.
But they also examine solutions to some of the thorniest security issues and what policies might be implemented if President Trump wins in November.

Our borders are broken. The crisis has gotten far worse over the past three years and the impact - sometimes deadly - is felt throughout the nation. Has it hit your community or maybe your own home?
And if things don't change soon, the lives of many more Americans will be in danger. That's the message Sara received from National Border Patrol Council Vice President Art Del Cueto while she was reporting on the border invasion in Arizona.
Today, Sara brings you her conversation with Del Cueto as they drove near the border. Just in their time together, Sara and Del Cueto evaded police from the nearby Indian reservation, witnessed arrests, saw illegals leaving bags of narcotics as they fled from authorities in the desert, and much more.
It's out of control and there's only one way to stop it - at the ballot box this year.

Have you ever received that phone call? The one where your life is suddenly and forever changed because someone you love has died or been permanently disabled?
Many spouses and children of service members and first responders know exactly what that's like.
So does Sara. in 2011, her husband called her to tell her he had been "nicked up" fighting in Afghanistan. But Sara knew it was likely much worse than that, and it was. Her husband was permanently blinded and blessed to be alive.
But Sara was not the only family member whose life changed that day. Her stepdaughter, Erica, was studying overseas when she received the news and it would be months before she could see her dad in person.
Being the daughter of an elite soldier, and now married to one as well, Erica, has a passion for serving military and first responder families. Her family operates the Warrior Rizen Foundation, which brings families dealing with devastating losses or permanent change to the Warrior Rizen Ranch for a time of rest, rejuvenation, and inspiration for the journey ahead.
Today, Erica and Sara discuss what it's like to get that phone call and having to accept that things will never be exactly the same again. But they also discuss how vitally important it is to keep living and striving and achieving more than you thought possible. And Erica shares how the Warrior Rizen Foundation and ranch help in that healing process.

It's hard enough to hear about how our government allows millions of people to pour across our borders illegally. It's far more painful when the failed policies lead to a heinous murder in your town, on your campus, or even in your family.
The parents of Laken Riley are living their worst possible nightmare because federal officials allowed her killer to go free after he came here illegally and then set him free again after abusing a child in New York City.
Enough! So much damage is already done because of our porous borders, but if we don't change course, the toll may be unfathomable.
Today, Sara welcomes Mark Morgan, former Acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Morgan will explain why Riley's murder was facilitated by horrible policies that prioritize criminals over citizens and why there may be legal recourse against the federal government.
Sara and Morgan also discuss the staggering amount of deliberate border dereliction perpetrated by the Biden administration, why the House border bill was an ideal remedy for the crisis, and why the Senate plan falls far short despite all the glowing reviews from the media.
Finally, they discuss their involvement in Border 911, a group of experts committed to restoring America's national security with a border plan that will work.

How confident are you that American leaders make careful decisions when deciding to intervene in international conflicts or that they have clear, achievable objectives when they do get involved? And which global threat do you think would be easiest for the U.S. to address?
Today, Sara and retired U.S. Army Green Beret Dr. Tobias Vogt break down our leaders' failures to make strong, consistent policies and give our troops clear expectations when we send them overseas. It's all part of a fascinating conversation about the serious challenges we face throughout the world.
Dr. Vogt is also the Army's former Chief of Advanced Civil Schooling. He says since the end of the Cold War, American leaders have been very weak in setting and executing military and diplomatic policy.
Dr. Vogt specifically hammers President Biden and his team for having no strategic objective for the U.S. whatsoever in the Middle East. He further stresses that the U.S. could unilaterally force better behavior from Iran and its proxies by simply following the effective precedents set by President Trump. He also details the failed foreign policy mindset that Biden and President Obama refuse to relinquish.
Speaking of Trump, Dr. Vogt explains why he thinks Trump will be able to bring a fairly quick end to the Russia-Ukraine war and why he is very critical of Biden's "blank check" approach to Ukraine. He also shares why he thinks that policy is bad for the Ukrainian people.
They also break down the massive failure of U.S. presidents over the years to engage with our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere, how it directly impacts our nation, and provides openings for our adversaries.
Finally, they highlight Dr. Vogt's new book "Ghosts of Samarra," which tells the story of the outstanding soldiers he led during the Iraq War.

Is your daughter wondering whether to play girls sports because boys are allowed to play with them? Or maybe they've given up trying because boys who "identify" as girls have major physical advantages over them or they do not want to share a locker room with them.
Sara's 11-year-old daughter is involved in gymnastics, cross country, and tennis. and she is already worried about what her athletic future will look like if boys are openly allowed and encouraged to play on those teams if they consider themselves girls.
This is not just a hypothetical issue as the cultural left would want you to believe. It's happening in college, high schools, and beyond. It's robbing girls and women of athletic opportunities and forcing them into extremely uncomfortable situations.
Riley Gaines was an All-American swimmer at the University of Kentucky. She tied for first in the nation in her event with a man presenting himself as a woman and swimming for the University of Pennsylvania.
Gaines is now the most prominent figure pushing state and federal lawmakers to reclaim sanity and to keep boys and men out of girls and women's sports.
Today, Sara and Riley discuss the significant progress being made to protect our girls, why coaches and parents are often afraid to speak up and insist on common sense in athletics, and what you can do to protect your kids and your community.

America's southern border is a mess. The Biden administration's dereliction leaves every state and every neighborhood at greater risk of crime and suffering losses from the deadly poisons trafficked into the U.S.
But what if I told you another U.S. border is under serious threat - not from millions of unvetted migrants but from a dictator who loves to rattle his saber and has a history of invading his neighbors?
In recent weeks, we've seen Russian military jets blatantly violating U.S. airspace over Alaska. President Vladimir Putin has also suggested that certain lands that once belonged to the Russian empire should be part of the country again. And more than a few observers have suggested that Putin includes Alaska on that list.
So how serious is the Russian threat to Alaska? Is Putin just posturing or does he have something else in mind? And is the U.S. prepared militarily if Russia gets even more aggressive?
Today, Sara explores all of these issues and much more with L. Shane Land, a disabled combat veteran of the Iraq War. Mr. Land also served as a U.S. Air Force security specialist, a U.S. Army intelligence analyst, and a civilian federal intelligence analyst for the Department of the Army. He is based in Alaska.

When Governor Abbott stood up to President Biden and his open-border policies, did you wonder if what the governor was doing was legal? After all, the courts always side with the federal government over states when it comes to border security, right?
Wrong.
On an exciting Sara Carter Show, law professor and Warrior Defense Project Director Dr. Jeffrey F. Addicott breaks down the legality of Greg Abbott's humiliation of the Biden administration on border security. From Addicott's perspective, the governor's decisions were completely constitutional and made with the security of his citizens in mind. While Americans can't sue the Biden administration for opening the border, Addicott lays out why it is vitally important to change the chief executive in the 2024 elections.

Who do you want to come to your rescue if you call the police? Do you want the very best qualified officers responding to your emergency or is it more important for your police department to hire based on diversity?
Of course, you want the most competent people for that job. And the same goes for federal law enforcement at the FBI.
However, recent reports show that standards are being relaxed at the bureau so that people who cannot pass the physical fitness test and other metrics are being allowed to proceed based on their race or gender.
Former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker joins Sara to explain how the FBI became immersed in the DEI agenda and how the quality of work at the bureau is suffering as a result. She says every unqualified agent endangers the lives of everyone else around them.
But Parker does offer hope that the FBI will return to its original purpose and tradition of excellence.

It's been obvious for three years that President Biden has no intention of securing our borders and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is still the one implementing Biden's surrender on national security. And now we have the smoking gun proving Mayorkas ordered the border patrol to stop doing its job.
Today, Sara welcomes retired U.S. Customs and Border Protection Joel Maldonado. Maldonado left CBP because he could not continue on the job in good conscience while border agents were told to stop securing the border and focus entirely on processing illegal immigrants, changing baby diapers, and doing other tasks that enable an invasion instead of stopping it.
Together, they dissect a 2021 memo from Sec. Mayorkas, which effectively ordered border patrol to stand down and facilitate the tsunami of illegal immigration. It could not be any clearer.
