Sara has spent more time at the border and talked with more migrants at the border than just about anyone. She's heard their stories and she knows the brutal reality of the journey they make to our southern border. Last year, she broke the chilling story that countless migrants approach our border wearing bracelets of various colors and then discard them just before reaching the Rio Grande. These bracelets are worn not to keep a group of people organized. They are a reminder of how much money these migrants owe their human traffickers for bringing them here. And paying off those debts often results in modern-day servitude and sex slavery.
Sara explains from her own reporting why it is obvious that Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas is lying when he says he had no idea about the bracelets and claims he is doing everything possible to address the humanitarian crisis at our border. She also reports on what border patrol personnel tell her about Mayorkas every time she visits. The truth hurts, but someone has to tell it. And Sara does.

A good education opens all kinds of opportunities for our children. Sara knows that and so do you. In fact, Sara not only sees what is happening in our own nation but she has seen what happens in nations where governments control every aspect of education. She shares her personal experiences as a student in Saudi Arabia and a reporter covering the horrific treatment of women and girls in Afghanistan.
So when we see our schools injecting politics and ideology into the classroom instead of focusing on the content our kids need to be successful in life, we must have the power to change things. Whether in voicing our concerns to the school or having the freedom to send our kids somewhere else, we should be the ones deciding what is best for our kids.
Sara also highlights the efforts of congressional Republicans to provide a "parents bill of rights" when it comes to education. Texas Rep. Monica De La Cruz joins her to explain her support for the bill and why she was able to become the first Latina and the first Republican to win in her district in a very long time.

Throughout Sara's career, she has relied on information from reliable human sources to break huge stories from the border to the Russia hoax. That information is powerful and people who don't want the truth to come to light will often do anything to keep it hidden. Today, Sara walks us through several of her experiences in the intelligence world and the different clandestine methods used to get and protect valuable information
Sara also focuses on how your tax dollars are sent to the United Nations, which then gives them to non-governmental organizations, who actively recruit and guide huge numbers of migrants to the U.S. border. That's right. You are paying for the border crisis. She is also joined by former Guatemalan intelligence chief Mario Duarte to talk about this and how the Biden administration is driving much of Latin America away from us, because it focuses far more on ideology than on real world objectives.

The American Dream is real! Almost all of us can point to someone in our family's history who took a chance, left behind everyone and everything they knew, and came to the United States. They did it to improve their own lives and to give their children the opportunity to reach their highest potential.
Former Texas Rep. Mayra Flores is living the American Dream. She was born in Mexico, but through the courage of her parents coming to America and her own hard work and perseverance, Flores is flourishing as a wife and mother, as a working professional, and she even became the first Mexican-born member of Congress.
In a wide-ranging conversation, Sara and Rep. Flores discuss their American stories and some of the key challenges facing our nation and our families today, including the harsh truth about why child sex trafficking is proliferating in this country and what we can do to reduce the repulsive demand for it.
Sara also shares her story of the sleazy guy In New York who harassed her while she was trying to eat dinner this week. But it also got her thinking about how our culture confuses men into acting weak when what we really need is for many more strong, honorable men to step forward to protect their families and our nation.

Our open borders are making the Mexican cartels more wealthy, more powerful, and more dangerous than ever. They are trafficking record numbers of people across our border and flooding your community with deadly poisons like fentanyl. The results are devastated families, human suffering, and major threats to our national security. Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw says it is time to use the full force of our military, State Department, FBI, Justice Department, and Border Patrol to take the cartels down.
In their conversation, Crenshaw explains what he means by that - and he does not mean an invasion of Mexico. He also responds to the Mexican president's over-the-top reaction to his plan and explains why the fentanyl epidemic makes the need for such a plan much more urgent. Sara also gives Rep. Crenshaw the opportunity to explain why he believes American support for Ukraine is vital for our own national security.
Plus, Sara walks us through her reporting on the recent congressional hearing along the border, including Customs and Border Protection Chief Raul Ortiz admitting he does not have operational control of the entire border.

When you see what many of our politicians and bureaucrats do to us every day, and how most of the media shamelessly cover for them, it can be easy to get discouraged and wonder if the fight is worth it. Sara knows that it is because of the sacrifices her family and your family have made to make this nation great. She traces her own family's commitment to service, from her colonial ancestors all the way to her husband's service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sara has never stopped fighting for the future of this nation and you can't either.
Sara is also joined by her friend Tiffany Smiley, who battled the Veterans Administration on behalf of her husband after he was blinded in Iraq - and won! They discuss Tiffany's recent U.S. Senate campaign in Washington state, how to convince voters they really do have something to fight for, and what Tiffany is doing now to create a brighter future for our nation.

Every day, Sara sees the prices rise for basic items like milk, eggs, and even fruits and vegetables. And she knows you do too. And for families living on razor-thin margins the higher costs are very stressful. In fact, Sara remembers the day much earlier in her career when she was forced to make a very painful decision to help make ends meet.
But while we struggle with inflation and the government does little to ease the pain, the Biden administration immediately swoops in to save Silicon Valley Bank. And while Biden says the taxpayer will not bear the burden of restoring money to all the bank customers, the facts suggest otherwise. So what's going on here and what could still happen from all of this uncertainty?
Sara welcomes former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne to explain why this bank failed so quickly and why the damage may be far from over.

Just 18 months after moving to Texas, Sara says she's never felt more at home. Why? She loves the grittiness, the freedom, the instant feeling of community with her neighbors, and the love for our military and veterans. But there's something more, something that makes Texas a direct connection to our nation's founding ideals.
But American history and Texas history are under assault from people trying to rewrite what happened decades or centuries ago, erase honorable figures from our history book, and judge the actions of people long ago by today's political sensibilities. Sara pushes back on that activism and is joined by Texas Rangers 2023 Chairman Russell Molina to discuss his efforts to honor the bicentennial of the Texas Rangers, defend their legacy, and encourage everyone to learn the good, the bad, and the ugly of any part of our history

Freedom is most precious to those who have lost it, and Sara has listened to many stories from those who have escaped repression or have fallen into it. It started long before she was a reporter. She grew up hearing about acts of courage against the communists in Cuba from her own mother. And today, standing up to the power and control of the Chinese Communist Party requires a tremendous amount of bravery.
Sara has visited with the freedom fighters from Hong Kong and beyond. She knows their stories and the courage it takes to stand up to the merciless control of the CCP.
We've seen China crush the freedoms of its own people in Hong Kong. It's now expanding that repression to neighboring counties, and it's been happening here in the U.S. for a long time too. Major corporations, sports leagues, and Hollywood studios all pathetically grovel before Beijing in order to squeeze every possible dollar out of the Chinese market. Meanwhile, all of those entities refuse to condemn China for its concentration camps against Uighur Muslims, slave labor, or religious persecution. And the Biden administration doesn't seem serious about confronting any of this behavior either.
Sara also welcomes activist Yoko Ishii to share the story of China literally trying to stamp out the native language in Mongolia, replace it with its own, and imprison those who resist. They also discuss Beijing's efforts to control other nations, including Japan. And the strategy looks awfully similar to what we're seeing China do here in the U.S.

Sara takes us through the story of one of America's closest neighbors finally getting serious about fighting gangs and crime, and its efforts are proving very successful. It's happening in El Salvador under President Nayib Bukele. Sara explains how the gang MS-13 terrorizes innocent people in that country and in countless neighborhoods here in America. She also ponders why the Biden administration not only refuses to get more aggressive against MS-13 in the U.S. but actively demonizes Bukele for trying to make life safer in his country and in ours. Finally, Sara previews a trip she hopes to make to El Salvador in the coming weeks to see what Bukele is doing and the impact it is having on public safety.
