Sara discusses the news that more than 93,000 people died of drug overdoses in the U.S. in 2020. That's the highest number ever recorded. And it's not just addicts and the mentally ill. Many people are dying because they took just one pill, but that pill was laced with deadly poisons like fentanyl.
Sara also brings in Derek Maltz, who headed the Drug Enforcement Administration's special operations division for nearly a decade and works closely with the family members of overdose victims to build awareness of this crisis. Sara and Derek discuss why this problem is growing, why the government is doing so little to educate families or stop the drug flow, and what parents can do to keep their kids safe.

Sara welcomes former CIA paramilitary officer Felix Rodriguez to discuss his memories of Fidel Castro turning his home country of Cuba into a dictatorial nightmare very quickly. Rodriguez describes his role in the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs operation designed to depose Castro and he shares the story his interrogating the murderous guerilla Che Guevara and why it disgusts him that Che is considered a folk hero on the political left. Finally, they discuss why Rodriguez thinks the "beginning of the end" is underway for the communists in Cuba and why he suspects next year's elections will determine whether America takes a socialist turn it may never recover from.

Nunes also discuss what he calls the disinformation funnel coming from the major media and big tech firms.

Sara cheers President Trump for leading the new class action legal fight against big tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. She explains why the fight is so important and big tech must be confronted for shadowing banning, suspending, or removing content it finds politically disagreeable. Sara also explains what the job of journalist ought to be and how big tech and the lockstep leftist media are snuffing out debate and simply promoting their preferred narratives. She even singles out CNN figures Don Lemon and Brian Stelter, who present themselves as journalists but are nothing more than activists. Finally, Sara explains why we must stand up for our rights against these powerful forces and why the silent majority no longer has the option of staying silent.

With just a few weeks remaining until the full withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan, Sara takes time for some very personal reflections from her time reporting on the war there. She shares emotional moments of watching American heroes fighting for their lives and sometimes slipping away, her powerful encounters with the Afghan people, and the character of the Americans who gave so much to fight our enemies - including her husband, Marty.
Sara also explains where the U.S. policy on Afghanistan lost focus and became confusing, even for our men and women in uniform. And she explains why she expects the Taliban to be back in power soon and a bigger danger to to our security than ever.

Sara sounds the alarm on a new Biden administration program encouraging Americans to report their family members and friends if they appear to be extremists, but Sara says the government will define "extremist" based on who you support politically.
She also welcomes Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan to discuss his legislation to rein in big tech and hold those firms accountable for smothering the free speech rights of conservative Americans. He also alerts Sara to how congressional Democrats are planning to consolidate power in government and the big tech firms while pretending to crack down.

Highlights--
FBI Abuses Innocent People
Jordan: I actually brought this up with the FBI director. You saw what happened up in Alaska where this couple the Hooper's were, their door was kicked in. They were held at gunpoint handcuffs and interrogated for four hours. Turned out, they hadn't even been in the Capitol on January 6, they that the FBI had the wrong couple. And they took their phones their laptop, and they took their pocket sized copy of the United States Constitution. And it's, it's like, this is scary stuff.
Sara: Well, they take the constitution like it's a bad thing. Like if you walk around if you have an American flag, you're like some kind of radical.
Left Eroding Fundamental Freedoms
Jordan: Well I mean you think about the last year Sarah every every Liberty we enjoy under the First Amendment has been assaulted every single one and you got you got five basic rights fundamental rights under the First Amendment right to practice your face right to assemble right to petition freedom of press freedom of speech, everyone has been attacked. I tell the story that no thinking of one of those your right to assemble. Five weeks ago I spoke to the to the New Mexico Republican Party. But I spoke to him in Amarillo, Texas, because they had to go to Texas as you were just talking about the great state, they had to go to Texas to get freedom because they weren't allowed to assemble in their own state because of their democratic governor. So and on and on, you could go and of course your speech rights are your most fundamental. So we're concerned about what big tech is doing and we got to we got to put a stop to it.
Cuba’s Neighbor vs. Neighbor Might Be Happening Here
Sara: But Maria was really good. She would always be watching everyone, she have our little spies out there. So all the neighbors would be watching because Maria wants to get like brownie points from the government. She's like, you know, there's a lot of words for a person like that. And I'm not going to say them here, because your children may be in the car listening to this. But then what would happen is if she suspected or somebody that hey, Maria got some idea that you have something and a neighbor would come over, then my cousin and her family would have to take the food out of the wherever they kept it in the fridge and a cooler, they would have to bury it out in the yard somewhere, or destroy it, or bury it and hope it wouldn't go bad because then the government officials would come over and start ransacking our house, looking for that one steak. Think about living your life like that. That's what we're actually doing to each other here. It's not going to stop there.
Democrats’ Big Tech “Reforms”

Sara previews the Pentagon's report on unidentified aerial phenomena with the help of Luis Elizondo, the former director of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. Elizondo tells Sara that the unidentified objects have been ruled as U.S. technology and why he's very skeptical that these objects are from any other nation. He also details the lengths some at the Pentagon are going to in an effort to stop full disclosure and how monumental the impact could be on our world once we do know the truth.

Highlights--
Don’t Make UFOs a Political Issue
Elizondo: Perhaps we are yet as a species at another paradigm moment, maybe we're just standing on another sandy beach and looking at the horizon about to set sail. And so my hope is that we will embrace this opportunity as a species and and resist the urge to make it a political issue. It would be a an opportunity surely squandered if we, if we turn this into a political issue instead of an issue about humanity and about about our mankind.
The UFOs Aren’t From Russia
Elizondo: So that really only leaves two other options. And the first option is that it is, again, some sort of foreign technology. And and when you look at that, from a temporal perspective or time perspective, you begin to realize there's really only a couple countries that really would even potentially come close to having the resources and talent to start to even try to look at a technology like this and let it let alone develop it, or that is something else. And so when you look at it from the lens of a foreign technology, we know for an absolute fact in the 90s, during the fall, if you will, of the Berlin Wall and this new glasnost and this new if you will, spirit of cooperation with the Russians, they shared a lot of their files with us and we know for a fact that they because they share the use of some of their UFO files with us that they were having the same problems we were with the exact same type of observables that we are to this day, facing.
The UFOs Probably Aren’t From China
Elizondo: We know for an absolute fact, Sara, that we have been dealing with these issues at least since since the 1950s. And probably earlier, and what now pilots are describing as a white flying Tic Tac were described earlier as white flying butane tanks or white flying lozenges. Right. So we're talking about the same type of vehicles with the same type of performance characteristics being seen all the way back to 1950. Now, if you put that in the context of let's say, China developing this technology, well, here's why that doesn't make sense because China has their own UAP taskforce that they've established into using artificial intelligence, trying to figure it out, and they're having the exact same issues that we're having today with these UAP. Furthermore, they they spend a lot of time and effort every year, stealing billions of dollars of our technology to have a competitive edge. And so if they've already had this this beyond generation next generation technology already in their hands, they wouldn't be need to be stealing any technology from us every year.
