Bookmark today’s show as one of your classics. Today, I explain, once and for all, using several recent Supreme Court opinions, why the Supreme Court is nowhere close to having an originalist majority and why there is only one consistent originalist. Kavanaugh and Roberts are completely problematic.  I delve through three cases – the Bladensburg cross case, a capital conviction case, and a criminal alien gun conviction case – to demonstrate why the Supreme Court is a one-way street and a dead end for conservatives. Even if we had five Clarence Thomasas, we should never legitimize judicial supremacy. But we only have one. The result? We get the worst of everyone’s sensibilities and the Left keeps winning, even when we win narrow defensive victories on a few cases in the Supreme Court out of the many they allow to stand in their unconstitutional status at lower courts.    Show links Flowers v.

The problem of criminal aliens and sanctuary cities is worse than you think. Today, I discuss the story of an illegal alien rapist harbored by Washington state’s sanctuary policies who was let out after just nine months and went straight to the victim’s house and almost killed her. We are joined by Bryan Wilcox, acting director of ICE's Seattle field office, to discuss the details of this case and the general public safety concerns posed by sanctuary policies.   Show links The story of the illegal alien rapist in King County Why states have no right to thwart federal law enforcement Syrian refugee tried to blow up church.

Jaeson Jones, our resident border expert and former Texas DPS intel officer, joins to discuss his findings from his latest trip to the border. Things are worse than ever. Our agents are outgunned, outmanned, and outmaneuvered. Texas officials are now sending more resources, while the feds do nothing but fund more care for illegal aliens but nothing to deal with the cartels.  Meanwhile, some conservatives are celebrating passage of a “border funding” bill. This bill is the most Orwellian definition of border security.   Show links This is the insanity the Senate just passed Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

We are winning. The administration realizes that we will not relent in our focus on the border. Now we just have to make sure they fully unleash the dogs of immigration enforcement and focus on the right things rather than straw men. This is a policy problem, not a funding problem.  I also discuss the upcoming defense authorization bill and the opportunities it provides Senate Republicans on both our border and Iran. We need the military to pump in assets for deportations and holding the line. A new border czar could be instrumental in securing this, but a sane Republican Party would also make this a condition of passing the NDAA. Finally, I give you an update on health care and how Republicans are sabotaging any effort by the Trump administration to create a narrative to run on for this important issue.  Show links Why the GOP “border funding” bill is counterproductive Previously deported rapists coming right in with family units Deter, Defend, Demagnetize Republicans undermining Trump on health care Migrants suing to abolish all detention ICE HSI focusing on NBA merchandise instead of sovereignty The GOP pre-existing condition on health care is stupidity   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

President Trump will suffer more blowback from continuing the status quo on immigration than he would by acting decisively to shut it off. On today’s show, I explain why the president has no choice but to issue a shutoff of asylum and how, logistically, he can enforce that. Trump is now facing backlash from all sides for catch-and-release. At this point, if he’d just turn back a certain initial number of migrants, they wouldn't make the trip any more, and he would solve the problem with much less blowback. Finally, I show how illegal aliens get to control our judicial branch of government, yet Americans can never get standing in court to defend our laws. That is the ultimate burning of our flag.      Show links Even gay Democrat mayor is ticked off about dumping of illegal aliens in his town My Twitter thread on Clarence Thomas’ opinion on the role of the Supreme Court and precedent Illegal aliens get standing to sue our law enforcement for lack of 5-star accommodations Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

We are joined today by a small-town mayor 40 miles from the border to give us a sense of how local communities are suffering from federal dysfunction on the border. Mayor Don McLaughlin of Uvalde, Texas, believes that with American cities suffering so much from homelessness, we should not be forced to take care of the impoverished of other countries as well. He updates us on the criminals entering his town, the threat of diseases, and the costs to local communities.  In short, Mayor McLaughlin gives us the red, white, and blue point of view both parties in Washington never give us. “We’re trying to be so politically correct in everything we do now that it’s going to get somebody hurt. ... We need to throw the skunk on the table and put it right out in the open where people can see. If most people knew what was happening at the border, you might see a change, a big change, in America. But our elected officials tend to want to keep it quiet. … The elected officials we have right now aint cuttin’ it.”   Show links Just 2% of family unit border apprehensions in California, so why do CA judges rule? 10 things to know about Tom Homan My print interview with McLaughlin BP union official says agents getting sick from diseases   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

You won’t believe it. Cartels are killing each other half a block away from the Arizona border and then coming here, not just for hospital treatment, but to request asylum!

Trump is going after Justin Amash with a vengeance, and new polling shows it’s working. But why won’t he go after McConnell, Cornyn, and other Senate RINOs who are much more powerful and are destroying his leverage on his campaign promises in the Senate? I explore the upcoming budget and debt ceiling battles and explain how spending is worse than ever, just like immigration numbers at the border, yet Senate Republicans are about to sabotage Trump’s leverage again. Why is Trump not using the veto pen, bully pulpit, executive actions, and primary threats to win them over? We see how much it’s working with Amash.  Finally, we now have the acting DHS secretary on record as saying they are not screening incoming immigrants for communicable diseases, in violation of federal law.    Show links Not a dime’s worth of difference between the parties on health care McConnell and Cornyn attack Trump’s conservative budget official What if McConnell cared as much about our border as he does about pork?

“Even if the Mexicans were acting in good faith, they simply can’t secure their border.”  Today, we are joined by retired Air Force Col. Dan Steiner to brief us on what the Mexicans are doing as part of Trump’s border deal. The long and short of it? Just another photo op. Next, Col. Steiner warns us that the best invasions are the ones that we don’t even realize are happening. He details the scary trend of cartels using drones to not only get loads of drugs across but to spy on our agents and assets. This is literally an invasion, not an immigration issue. The bottom line is there is no shortcut around Trump using his lawful authority to both stop migration and designate the cartels as terrorists.   Show links What Justice Scalia would say about our inaction at the border Todd Bensman on why Mexico can’t secure its border if it wanted to Dan’s website and podcast  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Our government doesn’t like inconvenient survivors of their botched-up operations leading to the death of agents. Today, Victor Avila is back on the show for part 2 of his story on how the government left him high and dry after he was almost killed in a cartel attack that left a federal agent in Mexico dead for the first time since 1985. Victor gives us the shocking details of the trial and how the government didn’t even want to go for life in prison for the Zeta assassins. The same guns that government sold to cartels that led to the death of border agent Brian Terry were used in the killing of Jaime Zapata. Finally, Victor and I discuss how his tragedy reverberates today throughout immigration agencies and how our agents are in danger more than ever before.  Show links    Look how many criminal aliens are turned loose in just one county Part 1 of interview with Victor Avila  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

On today’s special show, we recount the story of Omaha Beach to appreciate the magnitude of courage and sacrifice displayed that day 75 years ago. What are the lessons we can learn from that day and that era in terms of political and military leadership? How does that apply to Afghanistan and our own silent battle for control of the Rio Grande River? It’s all about values – values that are rapidly becoming extinct if we don’t take one last chance to preserve them.

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.  Show links We have a Border Patrol for diapers and wipes Republicans who don’t care about the border only care about Trump’s response to it Mark Morgan is a bright star as new acting ICE director A federal judge just gave Trump a huge opening to push back against forum-shopping   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

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.

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.  Show links Mexico admits 80% of key areas controlled by cartels CBP’s meticulous timeline explaining the death of an illegal alien Only 11 people prosecuted, three serving jail time, for hiring illegals  Our border fight now involves Bangladeshis and dental records Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

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.

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.      Show links More people die in prison than in immigration detention Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

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.   Show links Trump is getting bad advice, lurching to the Left on crime The coming crime wave that Border Patrol is not catching Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

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.       Show links Why Trump should refuse to give effect to this California judge's pronouncement Coolidge Memorial Day speech in 1927 Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

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.”  Show links  Gulf Cartel doing Mexico-style attacks on our soil Trump missed a big opportunity with the budget bill Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

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.      Show links Grassley pushing new entitlements Another liberal Trump nominee Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

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.”    Show links The frontline effects of the border crisis are felt around the nation’s capital Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Central Americans come here to escape poverty and benefit from our welfare system.  Where can Americans seek asylum when their communities are overrun by MS-13?  On today’s show, I discuss what is happening in some Maryland communities with MS-13 activity growing out of control as more illegal alien teens settle in the D.C. region.  I also show how illegal aliens are sapping our health care system and hospitals and nobody is asking who will pick up the tab. Instead, the media is concerned about how many illegal aliens die of natural causes while in ICE custody rather than about how many murders by illegal aliens ICE is able to prevent.  Finally, I focus on health care. The legislative proposals targeting “surprise billing” in the ERs are a total lie and will make matters worse because we are not addressing the core problems in health care.    Show links Russians at our border AAPS letter opposing price controls on surprise billing Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Today we are joined by a very special guest. Dan Vara is a practicing immigration lawyer who has 22 years of experience in the old INS and eventually in ICE.  “The laws are there, the rules are there, the people are there; they need to be allowed to do their jobs,” says Vara. He was one of the top officials dealing both with the Nicaraguan asylum influx in 1989 and the Hatians and Cubans in the 1990s. He believes there is no reason existing law can’t be marshalled the way it was then. It’s all politics, in his view. What about the concerns of foreign terrorists, health, and espionage? Vara explains that, contrary to what the government is telling us, we are not properly vetting them out even at points of entry.   Vara also explains how so many at the DHS are experiencing morale problems because there is more incentive for them to be lenient on illegal immigrants rather than enforce the law for fear of lawsuits.

Is Trump being convinced by Jared Kushner to live in an alternative universe? While they focus on the visa system, America has become a dumping ground. While they focus on what Congress can do on non-emergency issues, they ignore what they can do executively on emergency issues. Today, I round out the week by analyzing the politics of the Kushner immigration plan and why it is distracting from the real problems.   Finally, now is the time to get rid of DACA. That is Trump’s biggest point of leverage. He lost another court case today, but what the judges actually said proves the point that, even according to their convoluted thinking, he can still get rid of it within 90 days … if he wants to.

Look at any major issue, whether it’s the judicial crisis, immigration, health care, or foreign policy, and you will notice that we don’t have a movement of ideas to drive a narrative. We have a movement of personalities to comment on the status quo. I discuss some of the news of the day on abortion and the courts. If we had a movement of ideas, we’d be well on our way to defeating judicial supremacy, and some of the latest news on abortion proves this point. I also update you on jailbreak, the border, Republicans trying to renew the New START treaty, and even how our government is funding the Taliban while claiming to fight it.  Show links Virginia judge reverses his own radical opinion 8 days later This is the type of people we are locking up in federal prison on drug charges who will get jailbreak Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.
